Remarks by the President at Campaign Event in San Antonio, TX
Henry Gonzalez Convention Center
San Antonio, Texas
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, San Antone! (Applause.) Hello, Texas! (Applause.) Well, thank you so much. Everybody have a seat. Have a seat. It is good to be with all of you, good to be back in San Antonio. (Applause.)
A couple of people I want to acknowledge who helped to make this day possible. First of all, your outstanding Mayor, Julian Castro. (Applause.) Somebody whose name I know you're familiar with because we are in the Henry Gonzalez Convention Center -- a great friend, outstanding leader, great Congressman -- Charlie Gonzalez is in the house. (Applause.) Another fighter for working people -- Lloyd Doggett is here. (Applause.) One of my national co-chairs and just a great friend and a great advocate -- and a really good actress, too -- Eva Longoria. (Applause.) And finally, our FuturoFund co-chair and a wonderful friend and supporter -- Henry Muñoz. (Applause.)
Now, this is my last campaign. It's true, I'm term-limited up. (Laughter.) And that got me thinking about some of my first campaigns. I know that Charlie and Julian and others, they think back to your first campaigns. And back then, I didn't have Air Force One. (Laughter.) Didn't have a motorcade, no helicopter. I did the driving myself, and we didn't even have MapQuest -- (laughter) -- I'd have to unfold the maps. And Illinois, like Texas, is a big state, so I'd have to travel all across the state, and you'd go from urban neighborhoods to rural communities, suburbs. You'd meet folks from every walk of life -- black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American.
And wherever I traveled, what I discovered was that there was a common theme to everyone's story. If I met an elderly couple, I'd think back to my grandparents, and how my grandfather fought in Patton's Army in World War II, and my grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line. And when my grandfather came back home, he was able to attend college on the GI Bill, and they were able to buy their first home with an FHA loan. And I'd think about the distance they'd traveled from the small towns in Kansas, where they had been born.
And if I met a single mom I'd think about my mother, who had to raise me and my sister basically by herself, with some help from my grandparents, because my father had left, so that I didn't even know him, and how she had to work and go to school and look after her kids. But with the help of grants and scholarships, she was able to get an outstanding education and, more importantly from her perspective, give me and my sister a great education. And I thought about how much that would be possible in some other place.
And if I met a working family, I'd think about Michelle's family. Her dad had multiple sclerosis, so by the time I met him, he could barely walk, had to use two canes, and had to wake up an hour earlier than everybody else to get dressed before going to work. He worked at a water filtration plant, blue-collar worker. And Michelle's mom stayed at home when the kids were young, and then worked as a secretary. But Michelle's dad, despite his disability, never missed a day of work, and went to every dance recital and every basketball game, and had just a great joy about him.
And so all across the state of Illinois, I would be traveling and I'd meet people, and I'd say, you know what, their story is my story. And then when I began to run for President I traveled all across the country, including here in Texas -- I'd realize, well, the stories I've been hearing in Illinois, those are America's story. And at the heart of that story was a basic idea, which is, in this country, unlike any other, the basic bargain that binds us together is the idea that if we work hard, if we're responsible, then you can get ahead; that you're endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights like liberty, but also the pursuit of happiness -- not a guarantee, but the chance to get ahead if you work hard.
And so generation after generation, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents toiling against all odds, understanding that at some point this hard work would pay off and they could climb their way into a middle class. And that middle class didn't just have to do with how much money you had in your bank account. It had to do with the idea that you could always find a job that supported a family, and you wouldn't go bankrupt when you got sick, and you could buy a home to call your own, and you could make sure your kids had a good education. Maybe you take a vacation once in a while -- nothing fancy, but time to spend with those you love. And you could retire with dignity and respect. And most of all, you could expect that your children could aspire to things that you never even imagined.
That was the heart -- that is the heart of the American idea. This basic idea that no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your last name is, here in America, you can make it if you try.
And in 2008, when I ran for President and so many of you supported me, we ran because we believed in that idea and we believed that that basic bargain had been fraying. We had seen a decade in which hard work wasn't paying off for too many people. So people were working harder than ever, but the cost of living, gas, college, health care, all were going up; incomes, wages flat-lining. We'd gone from surplus to record deficits, job growth stagnant.
And so what compelled us together to make this effort was specific issues, but it was also, how do we get that idea back for the vast majority of Americans? And what we didn't know at the time was, is that we were looking at the worst financial crisis in a generation -- the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And so millions of people were losing their jobs even as I was wrapping up the campaign. And people lost their homes, and more and more folks struggled, and it felt as if that dream was slipping even further away.
But we have not been deterred. As much work as we still have to do, over the last three and a half years that focus on how do we build a middle class that is strong and secure and growing, that has remained my central focus. (Applause.) And even as we've created 4.5 million new jobs and 500,000 jobs in manufacturing, and stabilized the financial system -- all the steps we've taken without much cooperation from the other side -- that's still been our North Star.
And what's always helped me every single day move forward is the recognition and the belief and the understanding that although the times have been tough, the American people have been tougher -- (applause) -- and that for everything that happened during that financial crisis and the recession that followed, America's fundamental character did not change. (Applause.) People's willingness to work hard did not change. People's ability to bounce back from adversity had not changed. (Applause.)
And now, as we look out at the future, the question is, how do we best fulfill that goal, that aim that we set for ourselves in 2008? For all the progress we've made, we did not embark on this journey just to get back to where we were in 2007. We worked hard because we want a country where everybody gets a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same set of rules. (Applause.) That's why I ran for President in 2008. That's why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States of America. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: Now, as we think about this election, understand that the challenges we face are solvable. Sometimes it's fashionable among the pundits to say, well, America is in decline, or our best days are behind us. You hear that periodically. This isn't the first time we've heard that about America. And I could not disagree more, because there's not a problem out there that we can't solve. The problem is not that we don't have technical solutions or big ideas to tackle these challenges. The problem is we've got a stalemate in Washington right now. And it's more than just a difference between two candidates, more than just a difference between two political parties. It is two fundamentally different visions about how to move America forward.
My opponent and his allies in Congress, they believe that prosperity comes from the top down. They believe that if we keep in place the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and then we add on top of that another $5 trillion of tax cuts -- most of which would go to people who don't need tax cuts and, frankly, aren't even asking for them -- if we do all that, even if it means gutting education investments, even if it means slashing transportation, even if it means that we're not able to take care of our veterans as effectively, even if it means that we're not investing in basic science and research, even if it means that Medicare we've got to voucherize -- even if we do all those things, they still believe that those tax cuts that benefit folks at the top will result in everybody being better off. That's their basic economic theory. It's not complicated.
They've got one other element to it, in fairness. They also say they want to eliminate regulations on insurance companies and Wall Street banks -- regulations we put in place to protect consumers from unscrupulous mortgage practices, and that take regulations off of polluters. If we do those things along with the tax cuts, the market will be freed up, government is out of the way, and happy days are here again. That's their theory.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: And don't take my word for it -- go to their websites. Look at the budget that was passed by the House Republicans. That's their theory. That's what it boils down to.
Now, it is a theory -- (laughter) -- and some of you might be persuaded by this theory if it hadn't been for the fact that we just tried it. (Laughter and applause.) We spent almost a decade doing what they prescribed. And how did it turn out? We didn't see greater job growth. We didn't see middle-class security. We saw the opposite. And it all culminated in the worst financial crisis in our lifetimes -- precisely because there were no regulations that were adequate to the kinds of recklessness that was being carried out.
So I don't know about you, I don't know how you guys operate in your life, but my general rule is if I do something and it doesn't work -- (laughter) -- I don't go back to doing it. (Applause.) We don't go backwards, we go forwards.
So I've got a different idea. I don't believe in top-down economics; I believe in middle-out economics. I believe in bottom-up economics. (Applause.) I believe in fighting on behalf of working families and giving them opportunity and putting some money in their pockets -- because when we do that, everybody does better, folks at the bottom, folks in the middle and folks at the top.
That's not a Democratic idea. That's an American idea. (Applause.) That's what built this country. That's what made us into an economic superpower. (Applause.)
So let's just be more specific about some contrasts here. My opponent thought it was a good idea to "let Detroit go bankrupt." With a million jobs at stake, I disagreed. I wanted to make a bet on America's workers and American industry and American manufacturing. And three and a half years later, the auto industry is back. GM is number one; Ford and Chrysler are selling cars. (Applause.) That's my vision for America.
And this is not unique to the auto industry. I want advanced manufacturing locating here in San Antonio. (Applause.) I want us to be making things here in the United States of America, so I want to end tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas. Let's give tax breaks to companies that are investing right here in Texas, right here in the United States of America. (Applause.) Let's put American workers back to work selling goods stamped with three proud words: Made in America. That's my vision for America. (Applause.)
My opponent has a different idea. His main calling card for wanting to be President is his private sector experience. So we asked the voters to examine that experience. He invested -- made money investing in companies that had been called "pioneers" of outsourcing. I don't want pioneers of outsourcing in the White House; I want somebody who believes in insourcing. Let's bring those jobs back home. That's why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States. (Applause.)
In 2008, I made a promise we'd end the war in Iraq -- we ended it. (Applause.) I promised to go after bin Laden -- we got him. (Applause.) We're transitioning out of Afghanistan and starting to bring our troops home. And what I've said is, as we wind down these wars, let's take half the money that we spent on war to pay down the deficit; let's use the other half to do some nation-building here at home. (Applause.)
Now, Mr. Romney disagrees with me on this -- said it was "tragic" the way I ended the war in Iraq -- the way I ended the war in Iraq, doesn't want to set a timetable for ending the war in Afghanistan. But, you know, I'm looking around this country and I know from our history, from world history, that no nation has always been stronger than its economy. That's an issue of our national defense.
And so because of our outstanding men and women in uniform, we know that we've got the greatest military on Earth, but we also have to have the best economy on Earth to support those troops. (Applause.) And that means, let's start investing, rebuilding roads and rebuilding bridges and laying broadband lines into rural communities. Let's rebuild schools that are overcrowded and give them state-of-the-art science labs. (Applause.) And let's rebuild our ports and our runways. (Applause.)
That's what America is about, is rebuilding. And we've got thousands of construction workers out there that are ready to get to work. Let's put them to work. (Applause.) That will be good for our economy, and over the long term will be good for our strength. That's a difference between myself and my opponent.
As long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we're going to make sure that our veterans are properly cared for. (Applause.) And we have expanded our funding and improved how we are working with our veterans. But we've got more work to do and that requires resources. We're sure not going to spend that money better on tax cuts for me. (Laughter.) I want to make sure that a young man or woman who has served our country, who has fought for us, they shouldn't have to fight for a job or a roof over their heads when they come home. (Applause.)
I'm running to make sure that America has the best education system on Earth -- (applause) -- from pre-K all the way to post-graduate. And that means hiring new teachers, especially in math and science. And it means building on the work we've already done to make sure that student loan rates don't double, to make sure that middle-class families are getting tuition tax credits. Now we've got to reduce the cost of college, make it more affordable to everybody. (Applause.) I want to expand opportunities for 2 million young people to go to community colleges so they can get trained on the jobs that businesses are hiring for right now. (Applause.) Because today education is not a luxury, today a higher education is an economic imperative for the 21st century. And I want to make sure that the United States of America once again has the highest percentage of college graduates, because that is going to help determine who wins the race in this global economy in the 21st century. (Applause.) And I want America to be number one. That's why I'm running for President of the United States. (Applause.)
On almost every issue, there's a stark contrast between my vision and my opponent's. When it comes to housing, he wants to just let foreclosure bottom out. I don't think that's a solution; that's part of the problem. So I want to actually help families all across Texas and all across the country refinance -- at these historically low rates, the average family could save $3,000 a year, in your pockets. That will not just be good for you, that will not just be good for the housing market; that will be good for the economy. But we need to get it done. (Applause.)
I don't want to go back to the days when whether you could serve your country or not depended on who you loved. We ended "don't ask, don't tell," and I want to make sure that it stays ended because it was a bad idea. (Applause.)
I don't want to go back to the day when women didn't have control of their health care choices. (Applause.) I've got two daughters, and I want them to have the same control over their health care as anybody's sons out there. I believe that's the right thing to do. (Applause.)
And we don't need another four years of arguments about health care.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE PRESIDENT: The Affordable Health Care Act -- otherwise known as Obamacare -- was the right thing to do. (Applause.) And you know what, they're right, I do care. I care about folks who get sick and go bankrupt. I care about parents who don't know whether or not they're going to be able to get treatment for their kids. It was the right thing to do. (Applause.)
And for all the misinformation out there, it's very simple to describe what's going to happen. If you already have health care, the only thing that you have to do is enjoy the fact that now insurance companies can't jerk you around because of the small print. (Applause.) You have rights. Your kids can stay on their parent's plan until they're 26 years old. (Applause.) Senior citizens are seeing reductions in prescription drug costs.
If you don't have health insurance, we're going to help you get it. (Applause.) And, yes, it's true we expect everybody to act responsibly, so for the 1 percent or 2 percent of people who still don't get health insurance even though they can afford it, we're going to say to them, you can't pass off those costs on to somebody else in the form of higher premiums. (Applause.) You've got to take responsibility, as well.
It was the right thing to do. We are not going backwards, we're going forwards. And 30 million people are going to get health insurance because of it. (Applause.)
We're not going backwards when it comes to immigration. My opponent says the Arizona law should be "a model for the nation."
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: I believe we are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. (Applause.) I believe we can secure our borders and give opportunities to people who are striving and working hard -- especially young people who have been raised in this country and see themselves as Americans. That was the right thing to do. We're not going backwards, we're going forwards. (Applause.)
And we're going to get control of our deficit and debt, but not with the plan that these folks are promoting. They say this is the most important issue, the thing they care about most, and then, they propose a $5 trillion tax cut that would mostly benefit folks who don't need it, and would blow a hole a mile wide through our budget.
Now, I don't believe government can solve every problem. Not every government program works. We've already cut a trillion dollars out of our federal budget, and we can do more. But we've got to do it smartly and responsibly. I don't believe that government can help somebody that doesn't want to help themselves, but for all those folks who are working hard every day, I want to make sure that we continue to invest so that young people can go to college; that we continue to take steps so that we've got a great transportation system to move people and goods and services across the country. I want to make sure that we're investing in basic research and science that has given us this technological lead that allowed us to grow and become the economic superpower that we are.
So what I've said is, yes, we'll make some more cuts, but let's ask folks who have been incredibly blessed to do a little bit more, to go back to the rates we had under Bill Clinton. (Applause.) And you know what, that theory has been tested as well -- because when Bill Clinton did it, we had surpluses instead of deficits. (Applause.) We created 23 million new jobs -- and people at the top did really well also.
Like I said, that's been our history -- when middle-class folks are doing well and those striving to get into the middle class are doing well, everybody does well.
And that maybe is what is at the heart of the difference in this debate. See, I believe in individual initiative and entrepreneurship and risk-taking. And I believe that the free market is the greatest system on Earth to create wealth and prosperity. But just like Abraham Lincoln said, there are some things we do better together than we do on our own. (Applause.)
When my grandfather came back home and that generation got the GI Bill that was great for everyone because it upgraded the skills of all of our workers, that wasn't just good for some, that was good for all. When we invested in the Hoover Dam or the Golden Gate Bridge or the Trans-Continental Rail System, or when we sent a man to the moon or invented the Internet, that was good for everybody.
There are some things we do better together. And we rise or fall as one nation. (Applause.) That's what I believe. That's what our history tells us. That's what our future demands. That's why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States. (Applause.)
So let me just say this. In the next four months -- you guys won't see them because you're not considered one of the battleground states, although that's going to be changing soon -- (applause) -- but there's going to be more money spent than we've ever seen before. Folks writing $10 million checks to try to beat me, running ads with scary voices -- (laughter) -- and basically one message. I mean, it's a very simple message. Their message is: The economy is not where it needs to be and it's Obama's fault. So there will be various -- there will be variations on the theme, but it will be the same message over and over and over again.
That's what they're banking on -- because they can't sell their actual economic plan, so their goal is to see if they can knock us down. More money than we've ever seen before. And it's understandable that some folks get cynical about the political process as a result.
But what you taught me in 2008 is the same thing that I learned in my first campaigns, as I traveling around in my car, going from town to town, talking to people in their living rooms or VFW halls or diners, and trying to get their votes -- and hearing stories about people's parents and grandparents and great-grandparents, some who came as immigrants, some who were brought here not of their own accord, some who worked in mills or mines, some worked on farms, ranches. The thing I learned was that there is a core decency and grit and faith in the American people. And when the American people decide what's true and what's right, and they join together to bring about change, to make this country more responsive to the hopes and dreams of ordinary people -- when that happens, it doesn't matter how much money the other side spends, it can't be stopped. I cannot be stopped. (Applause.)
You showed that in 2008, and I believe you're going to show it again in 2012. (Applause.) I tried to make promises in 2008 that I knew I could keep, and one of those promises was that I wasn't a perfect man and I wouldn't be a perfect President, but I'd always tell you what I thought and I'd always tell you where I stood, and I'd spend every waking minute fighting as hard as I knew how for you -- (applause) -- making sure that every single day I was thinking about how to make your lives a little bit better.
And I knew I could keep that promise because I saw myself in you. And when I saw your grandparents, I saw my grandparents. And when I saw your kids, I saw my kids. And I've kept that promise. And I still believe in you. (Applause.)
And if you still believe in me, and you're willing to stand up, and knock on doors and make phone calls, and get out there and fight on behalf of a vision in which every Americans has opportunity to pursue their dreams -- (applause) -- I promise you, we will finish what we started in 2008. We will not be going backwards, we will be going forwards. We will win this election. (Applause.) And we will remind the world just why it is that the United States of America is the greatest nation on Earth. (Applause.)
God bless you. God bless the great state of Texas and God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)

Grants available through the Portland Brownfield Program
May 15, 2013 at 8:49 AM 0 Comments
Brownfields are former industrial or commercial properties that have redevelopment potential but may need to be cleaned up to address contamination or pollution. They can be old gas stations or auto repair shops, dry cleaners or manufacturing facilities, parking lots or vacant lots with unknown histories. Bringing brownfields back into active use has many benefits: decreasing vacancy, reducing hazards to human health and the environment, increasing the tax base, providing new neighborhood amenities, and protecting water quality.
This former brownfield is now a non-profit coffee house and community center.
PBP helped fund the assessments prior to redevelopment
As a property owner, prospective purchaser, or developer it is important to know if there is contamination on your site, and to protect yourself from liability and unexpected delay during development. The Portland Brownfield Program (PBP) offers technical and financial assistance for environmental site assessments on commercial properties. The PBP also manages a Revolving Loan Fund for cleanup activities on sites with known contamination.
A new round of grant funds has opened up for projects in outer east Portland (east of 82nd street). Although east Portland is our target area, any property that fits the eligibility criteria is welcome to apply.
The below video introduces the Brownfield Program and highlights the remediation of the Rollin' Tire site on SE Foster Road.
For more information visit www.brownfield.org or call 503-823-7764

Greg Sestero, Tom Bissell
Paperback, 170 pages
From the actor who somehow lived through it all, a "sharply detailed…funny book about a cinematic comedy of errors" (The New York Times): the making of the cult film phenomenon The Room.In 2003, an independent film called The Room—starring and written, produced, and directed by a mysteriously wealthy social misfit named Tommy Wiseau—made its disastrous debut in Los Angeles. Described by one reviewer as "like getting stabbed in the head," the $6 million film earned a grand total of $1,800 at the box office and closed after two weeks. Ten years later, it's an international cult phenomenon, whose legions of fans attend screenings featuring costumes, audience rituals, merchandising, and thousands of plastic spoons. Hailed by The Huffington Post as "possibly the most important piece of literature ever printed," The Disaster Artist is the hilarious, behind-the-scenes story of a deliciously awful cinematic phenomenon as well as the story of an odd and inspiring Hollywood friendship. Greg Sestero, Tommy's costar, recounts the film's bizarre journey to infamy, explaining how the movie's many nonsensical scenes and bits of dialogue came to be and unraveling the mystery of Tommy Wiseau himself. But more than just a riotously funny story about cinematic hubris, "The Disaster Artist is one of the most honest books about friendship I've read in years" (Los Angeles Times).

Custom Draperies add color and style to any home decor as we as adding insulation and energy savings. Browse our selection of fabric colors and styles as well as our selection of drapery hardware, curtain rods, finials and more.
Draperies are among the most versatile of window coverings because they come in an endless number of colors and patterns, as well as sizes to custom fit any window, including those that are odd-shaped.
Blinds Chalet can customize drapery for any household's need. "Choose from various top styles ranging from grommet drapery panels, ring top, french pleat, or rod pocket curtains," advises the company's website. "Each drapery panel is designed with fullness built in so just enter the size area you need to cover."
As well as coordinating the color and style of draperies with a home's existing furniture and accessories, this window treatment has the ability to create the illusion of more space in a room.
For instance, when a curtain rod is placed at the ceiling line, it makes a room look taller by increasing the vertical line of the room. To make a window look larger, brackets for drapes should be placed three to six inches outside the frame and by extending the curtain rod further in proportion to the wall size.
The bonuses don't end there. "Custom draperies add color and style to any home decor as well as adding insulation and enery savings," states Blinds Chalet.

Frolic fabric for baby quilt
I had given some thought to purchasing fabric for a baby quilt I want to make for a friend, but I really didn't know what I wanted...until I spotted (no pun intended, really!) these fabrics...
Aren't they FUN? I love the dots with the circles around them. And I think the colors are just the thing for a baby quilt. I love Sandy's Frolic line, but decided to stick with all the same design in the different colorways for this project.
Don't you love how they cut and fold fabrics at Keepsake Quilting? These were all laid out on their cutting-mat-covered cutting table so that the appropriate cutting lines for each fabric were on top of each other, then one swish with the rotary cutter and all the fabrics were cut at once! Then they fold them up together and tuck under the exposed corner to show off each fabric. I love it!
Even Sandy's selvages are fun! I'll have lots from this project!
Today I cut the binding for this I Spy Quilt using this method which still never ceases to amaze me. I even measured my fabric before sewing the triangles together because I was convinced that little square of fabric could never produce enough 2 1/2 inch binding to go around this quilt. The numbers seemed to say it would work, but even after using this method so many times, I was still skeptical. I cut it anyway, and sure enough, ended up with way more yummy striped bias binding than I will need for this quilt! Amazing! If you haven't tried this method of making bias binding, you really need to. It's awesome!
This week I'll be spending all day every day at cub scout camp with my seven year old son. This is his first time at scout camp, and mine too! We are both very excited about it. I think we'll come home exhausted and stinky, with lots of great adventures to talk about! Wish me luck though...I just might be getting too old for this sort of thing!
Happy Stitching!

Last year's Madden, while great, had a few balance issues that some players took exception to. Most notably was the over-emphasis towards the offensive side of the ball, which allowed for a number of rampant offenses and incredibly high scores, even on high difficulty levels. "Jetpacking," or the quirk that let players consistently leap over defenders while making incredible catches all the time, infuriated opponents. Some player's stats (such as cover boy Michael Vick) were so superhuman that it was nigh impossible to stop some of them at times. Even odder was watching people place these key players in off positions, such as using Vick as a wide receiver that could burn any defender. Well, if you spent all of your time mastering these tricks, you'd better get ready to go back to school, because Madden 2005 swings control back into the defense's eager hands.
AI of the defense is no longer somewhat brain dead as far as run and pass situations are concerned. Let me explain. Whereas many of your linemen or linebackers from last year (or even previous years) would stand by as a pass zipped into the middle of the field, this year's defensive squad is much more alert and ball hungry. Linemen will throw a massive paw up in the air or even try to jump up and block passes. Linebackers will swarm to the ball carrier, trying to jar a ball loose. Defensive backs will throw a hand up to deflect balls out of the way, especially if they don't have a chance to get in the play. Yep, seems like in the off-season, the D-Squad hired a coordinator that made every player do wind sprints each time they didn't make a play for the ball. Sure, you might be able to get a deep pass off on a lighter difficulty level, but try the same thing on All-Madden and the defense will shove your helmet down your throat.
Smarter AI isn't the only tweak for the defense in Madden 2005. This year, you can make tons of shifts, alignments and coverage audibles, and you can make them as general or as specific as you want on any play. Similar to Offensive Hot Routes, Defensive linemen can now be shifted to the left or the right to help contain sweep plays or counter runs, or they can crash inwards and stop up the middle runs. Linebackers can now be assigned to blitz, hang back into a QB spy slot, or drop back into a zone for heavy pass coverage support. Defensive backs now can perform bump and run coverage to smother receivers, play 3-5 yards off the receiver for looser coverage, or shift their coverage for fellow DBs to better play man to man. You can even change up the individual assignment for every single player on the field outside of their pre-assigned positions in a certain play given enough time, assigning blitzes, zone coverage and containment outside of your typical defensive packages. What's more, you can even assign individual players to stick to receivers, so if you want to shut down T.O. with your best DB, even giving him a solid double team when you want.
These shifts and stunts actually lead up to the next, and perhaps most fun, innovation for defense in Madden 2005, which is the Hit Stick. How many times have you watched football games and seen people just get plastered by a crushing tackle? Welcome to the fundamentals of the Hit Stick. As you approach an opposing player on defense, you can flick the right analog stick in any direction to try to lay a huge smack on someone. If a player is running slowly, they'll merely shove a player. However, if you time it right and you've got some level of speed, you'll be rewarded with a nasty pop that can potentially knock the ball loose or injure your opponent. Helicopter spins, people landing on their heads, these are merely some of the painful animations you'll find thanks to this control scheme. There is two degrees of risk to trying to tackle this way. You have to worry about the relative size and strength of the tackler, because smaller players will bounce off of their target without slowing them down. Secondly, if you mis-time the blow, you'll fly right past your opponent, landing on the ground and taking yourself completely out of the play. This often results in a player breaking out for a large gain, while you shake your head in disgust. It takes getting used to, but once you've got an idea of how to accurately smack your opponents around, you'll be leaping and hitting players in this way all the time.
Offense has been tweaked somewhat, but it's nowhere near as substantial a difference as the defensive side. You still have Playmaker controls from last year on your side to help direct plays on the field, and you can still perform hot routes. QBs can now direct their receivers to a number of areas on the field. By switching up a receiver's routes, you can direct them on a fly, curl, slant, in or out patterns to take advantage of the defensive openings. You can also perform formation shifts to provide additional run or pass blocking for plays. Since the offensive line won't betray your adjustments, this can be used to rotate from singleback to I formations or give your offense an additional amount of protection during hurry up situations. However, by and large, defense is king this year.
Most of the features from last year's game have returned in Madden 2005 with a few new additions. The Mini-Camp feature that helped players gain a sense of fundamentals for each role on the field has been bolstered with the addition of the rushing attack drill. Players first try to maneuver a running back through a hole behind a blocker and attempt to score as many times as they can before time runs out. Once the clock has stopped, players then take on the part of a defensive back trying to stop the opposing side from scoring. The other mini-game of note is the two minute drill; instead of a 2-on-2 game like the rushing attack drill, this is offensive squad versus defensive squads where you try to score as many points as possible without turning the ball over.
The groundbreaking franchise mode from last year has returned with some new tweaks to augment the Front Office experience. The first, and perhaps most widespread facet has to do with Storyline Central, an all inclusive term which now covers most of the information you'll need to effectively run your organization. Primarily illustrated by local and national newspapers (USA Today) and supplemented by emails, you'll be able to read up on all of the relevant league dealings and problems in every organization. As you catch up on trade rumors, game recaps and other stories, you'll be able to tune into EA Sports Radio and listen to The Tony Bruno Show, the nationally carried radio program, which will provide deeper insight into the minds of the fans, players and coaches.
This sentiment is actually much more important this year than ever before, as Madden 2005 takes player emotions into account on just about everything. Akin to the emotional meters found in EA's MVP Baseball (but much more in-depth), the members of your team react to everything from the size of their paycheck and the chemistry of the team to the lack of playing time and number of losses you've accrued. The season now adjusts player's stats and emotions based on how they play and how the team's morale is, so it's possible for your team to win every week but find your star running back in a crippling slump. Balancing their needs and wants will actually become a much more important factor this year, as malcontented players will start to affect the spirits of your locker room as well as go to the newspapers and demand trades. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is put a troublemaker on the block and get rid of him as soon as possible to not screw up the team (as long as it's within the trading period). However, you have to be careful, because if you trade the wrong person, you could screw up the entire team.
Trades are somewhat more complicated than before now that you have to take player's feelings into effect. Before, you might have to concern yourself with the salary cap and your negotiation skills to acquire (or re-sign) an athlete. Now in contract talks, you've got to figure in the athlete's interest in your team based on a number of factors. Obviously the money counts, but there are other intangibles, such as the coaching staff, fans, prospects of winning a Super Bowl and location, among other things that can sway someone's opinion. All of these factors figure into the more important things for some athletes, and if you can't appease their desires, you'll never be able to sign them no matter how much money you throw at them. For instance, if Randy Moss wants to be the franchise player wherever he goes and you've already promised that to Jerry Rice, he'll probably never sign with your team. If so, keep your chin up, because you may be able to sign a restricted free agent in the offseason.
Speaking of the offseason, Madden goes through nine separate steps to prepare your organization for the upcoming year. The largest change comes within the Draft section, which is much more defined and realistic for players wanting to track their prospects. First of all, you can scout and track the combine scores of fifteen eligible draftees, gauging how they might be able to contribute to your team. This can give you a pretty solid idea of who you'll want to choose when your turn comes up. Thankfully, you can set the speed of the draft session itself, which is really fascinating to see the other teams trade players for selections, checking the available picks to mine players that have fallen into later rounds. Not only will the imaginary crowd signal their approval or disapproval for your picks with cheers or boos, but the morale of players on your team will also be affected by your choices. If you've got a linebacker who's getting up in years, he might start to feel the pressure of having a first round star contending for his job. Yep, his stats will probably suffer as a result.
While NCAA Football fans were able to signal their approval of certain things via the create-a-sign feature, Madden goes one step further by allowing gamers to create their own fan to represent their team in the stands. It's a little funky, but with some experimentation you'll be able to create just about every single signature fan that you've seen hanging out in the stands. Aside from that, only PS2 owners have the option of taking advantage of features not seen anywhere else in the exclusive Collectors Edition. This version features video montages on Madden, its legacy and the phenomena surrounding the franchise. It also boasts a number of specific "Madden Moments," which are scenarios of specific historic football games, a trivia game and three classic Madden titles. While these sport names like Madden Retro, Vintage and Classic, the rosters for each team have been updated to represent today's rosters.
Aside from the exclusive features of the Collector's edition, the only other feature is the inclusion of Xbox Live support for Microsoft's console. Unlike the earlier speed bumps that plagued NCAA's transition onto the online service, Madden's foray into internet gaming is incredibly stable and robust. This means that Xbox owners will be able to enter tournaments, perform optimatches or quick matches to jump into play, and track your stats and rankings. Interestingly enough, you can take the Rushing Attack mini-camp game online and play anyone anywhere, similarly getting ranked in the process. However, the most fascinating online features are yet to come, as EA announced the upcoming Premium Pass, which will boast league play, exclusive tournaments and other features, including a promised answer for cheaters and continually disconnecting players.
Graphically, you really aren't getting too much of an upgrade from last year's title. That's not to say this is a bad thing at all. Madden was one of the better looking football titles back then. You'll still large character models that animate incredibly well throughout the entire game. This happens to stand out when the action switches to a cutscene recapping an impressive play or a colossal failure. Make sure you pay attention to end zone celebrations, because these are really nice. Again, I emphasize the life that's been thrown into the defense. The swarming, arm raised, leaping aggression from a hungry D can definitely be felt throughout a game, and when you couple that with the bone crunching hits from the hit stick, you'll be impressed by what's been included in this year's game. Instant replay (especially if you're rubbing something in your friend's face) has never looked or felt more painful. However, the largest problem graphical issue that arises is the plastic, expressionless faces that now populate most of the game's character models. Players don't really seem too into what's going on, and both coaches and cheerleaders have this Botox over-injected frozen look on their faces that doesn't change. It's distracting and rather disturbing, particularly if there's a close up. Sound effects really haven't changed too much last year's game as well, which is to be expected. What you would hope is that there'd be much more dialogue to draw from for this year's title, but unfortunately, you'll hear the same lines often repeated over and over again. I would've wanted to hear new phrases and a sense of presentation, especially with this being the 15th year of Madden, but this wasn't to be.
I actually didn't bring up the inclusion of Tony Bruno within sound for a specific reason, which is that he's both a boon and a curse to franchise mode in a way. The concept of the radio show, particularly since Bruno is known for his hard-hitting opinions, was an interesting idea that seems like it stood out from the Storyline Central idea somewhat. I love the idea of getting information about the league from a weekly show. However, simply getting audio streams when I'm playing a video game doesn't feel as interactive as it should. Perhaps this might have been remedied if it was presented in a video format, where you actually saw Bruno present his show, do his interviews and take calls. If Imus and Stern (when he still was on the air) had video of the guys in the studio conducting their program, I'm sure you could get the same setup for the game.
On top of this, there was a point at which I wanted much more information about my specific team and what their needs or wants were. Bruno simply didn't deliver this in the best way. If I'm running the Cowboys, I don't care what the Redskins are doing or if they're having trouble signing one of their star players. In fact, I'd probably prefer it since they're one of my rivals. However, more times than not the radio show would focus on external things without even touching on my squad, and if I'm going to go through the trouble of specifying a favorite team, I'd like every aspect of my franchise mode to have the slightest inclusion of my team every week of the season. Even if it was Bruno saying something minor like, "Before I wrap up this week, looks like Kansas City is having a great season but will really need to prepare to take on the Pats at Foxboro on Sunday." It would at least seem slightly personal. Having a spread of the local papers around the country was also a great touch, but I was hoping that there'd be much more information from my hometown paper as to potential issues or items of interest. True, most of the problem makers are going to go national to try to press a solution to their problem, but I'd love to find out more than just 4 stories about what's happening locally if I'm a GM. Fans have a problem with the new ticket prices? Hello, newspaper sports poll! You know, things that GMs have to deal with on a constant basis. I also hoped that the franchise mode would allow me to train many more players in the pre-season with the mini-games, or have a much more in-depth preparation for upcoming games during the regular season, including things such as viewing tapes of upcoming opponents. I don't necessarily need the option to create fans in the stands.
Don't get me wrong, because Madden 2005 is easily the deepest version of the successful franchise yet. A radically expansive franchise mode and an incredibly reactive defensive control scheme combine to make one of the best updates to a football game to date. Like usual, Madden usually sets a standard for other titles to follow, and the attention to the defense side of the game should be the new benchmark for other games to follow. Whether you're a hardcore fan or a newcomer to the sport, you should make sure that you get your hands on Madden 2005.

Madden. One word sums up the most dominating franchise in video game history. Forget Mario, forget Sonic and to hell with Crash. The sheer scale of Madden has obliterated every other series to become the largest phenomenon the gaming world has ever seen. Don't believe me? Take these three facts into consideration: 1.) The recent announcement of more than 1.35 million (that's right, million) copies of Madden NFL 2005 were sold in the first week alone. There are some games that don't even get up to that number of units sold throughout their entire shelf life. 2.) Rather than go up against the behemoth that is Madden, Microsoft fired their sports division dedicated to NFL Fever, citing its superior quality. 3.) Aside from ESPN 2K5, Madden is the only other pro football title out this year. That's right, just about every other company ran away from the field this year, leaving an underdog to challenge the undisputed champion.

In the Department Heads section of the Duty Officers interface, you can choose which Bridge Officer fills which Department Head role. Each career path has two Departments which an associated Bridge Officer may be Head over, and a Bridge Officer may be Head of one, both, or neither. Additionally, any Bridge Officer (regardless of rank or career path) may be selected as First Officer.
Does this make any difference at all, or is it purely aesthetic?

A couple of weeks ago I was surfing the Bergere de France website which offers free patterns and found a lace cardigan (no. 466) that would be perfect for summer.
I surfed the web trying to find the yarn, Bergereine and could only find one place to get it in North America, Club Direct Laine in Québec. I promptly ordered their catalog (~ 10 USD) and received it last Friday.
It's a beautiful catalog with color cards of all the yarns. Here's the page that shows Bergereine.
So now that I've seen BdF yarn what do I think of it? While all the yarn is eye-appealing, almost all of it contains lots of polymide and/or acrylic. My current project with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino (which has 33% microfiber) will probably be the last time I knit with microfiber. Isn't microfiber just a trendy name for acrylic? I find that wool is much more forgiving and comfortable to wear.
Bergereine is the only pure natural fiber (50% wool / 50% cotton) yarn in the catalog so I'll probably go ahead and make this sweater with it. Marie is currently working on a sweater made with Bergereine and finds it easy to work with.
