He told Chihaya he was no longer interested in that same episode but later on when he talks to Harada Sensei we learn the crux of the reason
"No matter how long I play I will never be as good as Arata".
Initially he joined the team and continued playing only because of his feelings for Chihaya but I don't think Chihaya is the only thing that matters to him about karuta.
Even though Taichi still didn't completely understand, he was happy when he got a card and blushed when Arata praised him.
Chihaya is a part of karuta for Taichi but it is only one part.
So I don't agree that Sumire and Taichi are exactly the same. Sumire had no interest in karuta when she joined. Although to Sumire's credit despite her claims she still has no interest I think it is obvious that she now does beyond Taichi.
Because a character not interested in Karuta well that doesn't work in Chihayafuru.
I don't think that is the same as loving or not loving karuta though. And I actually think Taichi does love karuta because it is something he has to put effort into. I think this is important to Taichi.
I guess my main issue is the idea that only Taichi is outside Karuta in the series and he is different from everyone else. I think certainly Taichi has more growth and development when it comes to karuta and he doesn't understand everything but to say only Taichi is outside and everyone is inside, well no I don't agree.

Taichi does have a card or a pair of cards associated with him, after all. Thank you for the reminders! Suetsugu fits Taichi into the world of the poems, as a lover whose love cannot be hidden.
I still maintain, though, that we don't know that Taichi loves karuta. Wondering just what it means to "love" karuta in the first place, I thought Arya's comments were extremely illuminating:
As yet, Taichi is not in this state of flow, and so as yet, he does not love karuta, and as yet, he remains outside karuta.
Blaat, Nishida expresses his love for karuta in episode 8, where he notices just how much Chihaya likes to play, and connects her feeling to what he himself had felt when he was young.
As far as I know, Nishida doesn't have a card associated with him.
This week's title poem is #87. Here is Mostow's translation:
" While the raindrops of
the passing shower have not yet dried from
" near the leaves of the evergreens,
the mist is already rising, on
this evening in autumn.
This is a beautiful, descriptive poem, that perfectly captures the rain, the season, and the time of day in which this episode takes place.

In fact I don't think you are just doing a disservice to Taichi here with this assessment but all the characters.
You are basically saying only Taichi has room to grow to love Karuta but everyone else is fully there and have no room for character growth. Taichi has personal flaws he has to overcome which do affect his karuta but so do the other characters.
For example I will be interested to see where the story takes Komano who seems to have given up being better than the others and instead wants to guide the team through his analytics (but is this truly the best course for him. Can he still not grow as a player?) Has Komano fully embraced everything about karuta either? And this is just one example.

Different characters bring different skills, have different reasons for playing, and have different reasons for being inspired by karuta.
But you are not just saying Taichi is different but that ONLY he is not connected to karuta like everyone else. That everyone else loves and understands karuta except Taichi.
I don't assume increasing love is the only way to show character growth but this series is about karuta. Karuta is the way the manga-ka is developing her characters through understanding, love, and growth as players.
Again I think you are putting two little credence on when Taichi says "I want to be someone who doesn't run away". Karuta gives him that chance. To me he doesn't need to say the words "I love karuta". Karuta is important to Taichi because it helps him grow into the person he wants to be. It's karuta that gave him that chance.
However maybe he has not said those exact words because he is still working on getting there.
I don't know what the final message for Taichi (or any of the characters will be) but I think karuta is an important part of all of them.

I...wouldn't try, can't afford that at present! But that is insane!
On the Taichi debate...
My word...deja vu or what!
Personally, my view hasn't changed much since back then: what Taichi wants to do with karuta, what the game means to him, still isn't clearly defined. In that sense, I agree with hyperborealis. But on the other hand, he has moved slightly in the direction of 'playing karuta for himself', and I expect he will keep moving in this direction as the show goes on.
Kirarakim, I am getting the same impression as I was last year: that your defense of Taichi borders on being ultra-positive, ignoring certain aspects of his struggle. That's not to say that the others don't have their own struggles, but each of them is different. I would argue that whilst Chihaya's struggle, as we see it now, is predominantly about trying to reach Shinobu and Arata's level, Taichi's is largely about how he is connected to karuta, what karuta means to him. It definitely doesn't mean the same thing to him as it does to Chihaya and Arata. 'Love' is quite an easy word to throw around, but what does that actually mean vis-a-vis karuta in Taichi's case?

Taichi wasn't being compared to Arata and Chihaya in this case he was being compared to everyone in the series. That only Taichi does not love karuta and is outside it. This is what I had an issue with.
Do I think Taichi has the same passion for karuta as Arata & Chihaya (well no, at least not at this point in the story). But I do think karuta is important to Taichi and it is not just because he is in love with Chihaya. Nor do I think Taichi is the only one who doesn't get karuta.
Yes there are certain things about karuta, Taichi still doesn't get. But he isn't the only one still learning these things.
However his flaws are definitely made worse than they are by some people here so if I respond in an ultra positive way it is because of that.
To be fair I don't think Hyperborealis was bashing Taichi or dislikes Taichi at all. But I did think the interpretation had an overly negative context and that is what I was responding to. I don't think Hyperborealis saw it as negative but I do. The idea that Taichi is outside karuta doesn't just separate him from Chihaya and Arata but from all the other characters in the series and I don't believe that is what the manga-ka is trying to say with his character.
Admittedly I could be wrong here and maybe Komano made the right decision and it will be interesting to see what Nishida says next week.

I'm not denying he continued afterwards (or what motivated him to continue playing), but you disagreed that he started to play karuta (only?) because of Chihaya, which I believe he did.
When you consider that Taichi ostracised Arata from the entire classmates he had little reason to associate himself with Arata, other than because Chihaya kept associating herself with him.
Just to note, I'm not holding this against him (starting because of Chihaya), because Chihaya started because of Arata.
But what I believe is that he originally thought he could play casually (which I maintain is like Sumire, except that he changed his tune really quickly).
To be fair (because it's starting to turn back into a Taichi bashing thread ), none of Chihaya's current happiness could have been possible without Taichi.
In many ways, his "outside" experience (regardless of whether it's true or not) is the reason why the team is functional.

In other words, the kind of love for karuta that hyperborealis is talking about is the very specific kind of loving karuta for its own sake.
I'm definitely looking forward to it plays out next week... (if only because I have skimmed the corresponding scene in the manga and am not very sure how to interpret it... )

One of the big similarities between Nishida and Taichi is that they bother prefer the competitive aspect of the game as revealed during the first episode of the second season (Taichi wanted focus on the Mejin/Queen qualifiers and Nishida on the highschool tournament). Is that the message, if you only like competitive karuta you don't love it?

As for what you said about Taichi starting to play as a child because of Chihaya bringing him into the game well that might be true. Actually I think both Chihaya and Arata inspired Taichi to start playing karuta, but it was Chihaya who brought Taichi to Arata. It was Chihaya who started the friendship between the 3 of them.
However I think it is important to note that Taichi did continue to play karuta in middle school. I am not sure how much time he put into it (certainly not as much as Chihaya) but it was a choice he made to play karuta even then and it seems the only reason he stopped was that inferiority complex of his.
So I think when people say that Taichi only started to play karuta because he was in love with Chihaya is slighly false, it's more that he started to become serious about it because of his love for Chihaya but I think there was an interest always there.
As for Sumire she joined the team because of a crush on Taichi but I think her feelings might be developing into something more and I think she is starting to become interested in karuta for its own sake despite her claims to the contrary.
I am also not saying that it is not significant that Taichi has not said those words yet but it is not because he doesn't love karuta and it isn't a part of him but because he doesn't fully realize it himself. So hence I actually agree with what you wrote below:

The bromance was strong in this one.
Solid episode, it had some genuine funny moments (Sudo holding the banner and Chihaya using all her will power in accepting going as second in the line up). Anyway I can't believe we're already in semi-final but hopefully it looks like we're finally going to have a serious tense multi episode spanning caruta match.
Also am I the only one who wants to see a Desktomu as Sherlock Holmes and Nishida as Watson omake? Or fan art. Desktomu's deduction reasoning is rather impressive.

I thought the reason for Tsutomu's sitting out was going to be an advantage due to handedness after Chihaya's comment, but it turned out to be exhaustion from covering the matches. He really is quite a bright kid.

Good episode for two characters who haven't been in the spotlight as much. All the little notes that appear around characters this episode were also pretty funny.("Empress's jacket of love ) Sumire's notes end up being sorta useful (as I thought) though probably not as useful as Tsutomu's hard-core analysis of every possible flaw and pattern in each player's playstyle. Chihaya should definitely have a hard time against Megumu and it's probably gonna end up being another close match.

Great episode putting emphasis on the bond between the second years. The end of the previous episode was very misleading. Nishida actually wanted Tsutomu to play more than anything else. It pained him to see him relegated to a supporting role and he was afraid he'd get stuck in it and lose his drive to play.
That said, Tsutomi is truly amazing at gathering intel and analyzing it, so he definitely shouldn't give that up entirely. His advices proved to be very useful in this week's match.
Chihaya displayed some growth in this episode. She managed to restrain her desire to play against a strong opponent in order to improve the team's chances of victory. In the end, she still got what she wanted thanks to Taichi, but her gesture was appreciated. Next week, her skills will truly be put to the test for the first time in this tournament. It will be tough to beat Megumu.
PS: pouting Kana was super cute.

Take out 'a blind date' at the Blackfoot City Library
Librarians at the Blackfoot Public Library, 129 N. Broadway, are inviting patrons to take out a book on a blind date.
Each wrapped book has been selected by the librarians and has a staff endorsement.
By way of introduction, each book features its date of birth (when published), its gender (genre-fiction, adventure, romance, etc.), the number of pages and a short description.
"We wrapped 50 books; we figured that amount would last all week," said Library Director Lisa Harral. "The books are almost gone on the first day.
"We will all be wrapping books tonight," she said.
Rules of this blind date are:
° After choosing your book, you cannot open it until you get home.
° Inside the book is a form to "rate your date."
° Return the form and you will be entered into a drawing for a dinner for two.
° The drawing for dinner for two will take place at the end of the month.
Blind dating will be available for the entire month of February.
Speed Dating, Literary Style, starts at 6:30 p.m. this Wednesday.
"It's a spoof on modern day dating," said Harral. "Eight presenters will try to talk you into their genre.
"They are going to try to talk you into a good book," she said.
Refreshments will be served.

I really freakin' loved Rayman Origins when it hit consoles last year. And I loved the Rayman Jungle Run mobile game that showed up on iOS and Android a few months ago. Remember that I raved about the music in those games, too? So, you can probably guess that I'm psyched for Rayman Legends on Wii U, even though it's exclusive to the Nintendo console that I don't own yet.
The most exciting thing to me about the co-op platformer is the asymmetrical aspects of the game design. They were shown off at this year's E3 demo and show up in this new trailer, too.
Rounding out the digital wares on Nintendo platforms this week are a new JRPG from Level-5, a 3DS version of the original Ninja Gaiden and some sort of Chuck E. Cheese shooter. Don't worry, the rodent is only using souped-up water guns.

Carnegie Mellon University Welcomes Back Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences
By Jocelyn Duffy
Fifty-six of the state's brightest incoming high school seniors will spend five weeks at Carnegie Mellon University this summer learning about biology, chemistry, computer science, math and physics from some of the area's leading science professors as the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences (PGSS) returns to the university's Pittsburgh campus.
CMU's Mellon College of Science hosted the PGSS from 1982 until 2009, when the Governor's Schools became a casualty of state budget cuts. To help reinstate the program at CMU, the nonprofit PGSS Campaign, Inc. — organized by PGSS alumni — raised $150,000 from private and corporate donors to match a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
"The alumni of the program pushed to get the funding restored," said Barry Luokkala, teaching professor of physics at CMU and PGSS program director. "So many of the alumni have said that the Governor's School was life-changing. They wanted the school back so that other students could have the same experience."
All of the PGSS alumni went on to college, and, according to Luokkala, approximately 90 percent went on to pursue careers in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
"PGSS allows us to bring together some of the most highly intelligent minds from all over the state," Luokkala said. "The experience is socially transformative, and will leave the students academically and scientifically enriched."
Applications for the 2013 PGSS are being accepted until Feb. 15. Students who are accepted will receive full tuition and room and board for the program, which is scheduled to run from June 30 until Aug. 3. PGSS also is looking for undergraduate students to serve as resident advisers and teaching assistants.
During the program, students will take a core curriculum of courses in biology, chemistry, computer science, math and physics; choose to take a lab course in either biology, chemistry, computer science or physics; and select from a wide range of electives. They also will complete a self-guided team research project of their choosing, supervised by a PGSS faculty member.

By next year, Fitch Ratings projects online gaming revenue in New Jersey to come in at around $200 to $300 million.
After several years, Fitch says that number could look more like $500 to $700 million.
But in a report released Tuesday the ratings service said that even then, projections are still "well below" the $1.2 billion in its first year that Gov. Chris Christie forecasted back in March.
Fitch notes that early revenue figures will be adversely impacted by the unwillingness of some credit card companies to allow online wagering transactions.
As for Atlantic City, the report claims that while online gaming will help the troubled shore resort, it "will not single-handedly turn around" its casino market.
"Although some market participants will benefit, New Jersey online gambling is not going to be the savior of the (Atlantic City) casino market," the report said.
Fitch claims that online gaming will contribute to an ongoing supply and demand "imbalance" in the market, which is fueled by competitive neighboring markets and the steady number of casinos versus the steady decline in gaming revenue.
"In some ways, it will be detrimental because it has kept brick and mortar supply in the market when the level of demand dictates that some supply should be removed," the report said.
RELATED: N.J. may chase worldwide internet gambling audience
Profits seen from online gaming are "unlikely" to be reinvested in the city's brick and mortar assets, the report said.
Fitch says that among the casinos themselves, there will also be online gaming winners and losers.
Both Caesars and Borgata are expected to do well, according to Fitch, as they represent the largest and most successful brands currently operating in the city.
Revel, Resorts and Atlantic Club, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, are all expected to do poorly as Fitch claims they lack both the customer base and the resources to effectively promote their online brands.
The report says it's too early to tell what will become of the mid-level tier of players such as the Golden Nugget, Tropicana and Trump.

Yes, you read correctly, they stated there are 3000 people who have expressed an interest in seeing one of the about 70 units.Of those 3000, I wonder how many are simply curious about the interiors and how many are serious about renting (and in a financial position to do so). Also, considering the fact that many of us signed up on the 341EPW site several months ago, some of those who'd originally expressed interest may have found homes elsewhere by now.
Maybe those units are the ones with the balconies that allow one good views of the West Indian Day Parade?My husband and I were just talking about the parade last night, wondering about those people who will move into 341EPW from other parts of NYC without reading or investigating much about the neighborhood. They're sure to experience something of a rude awakening come Labor Day weekend!
If you were working in Manhattan for someplace like a bank (ie making about $180k), were young and just wanted a quick commute and some nightlife, such a units would work for you... Your partner (getting their MBA?) would have a place to study.
Starbucks will be in space that opens onto Franklin, between Capital One and Pulp and Bean.Thanks. I actually noticed this earlier today when I looked a little closer. And yes, the buildout looks pretty far along.

All In The Family... Another Trip Down Memory Lane... Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
Since seeing the snake in the hollow branch this morning, I've been thinking about snakes ever since.
I've had several interesting snake experiences here. I've told the story of one of them already today (in a comment at the above link), and here are a few more.
About ten years ago, we planted a long row of shrubs to grow into a hedge along our property line. I was trying to keep the grass down in the hedgerow because the shrubs were so small. I had mowed around the little shrubs as much as I could, and I was clipping along with a pair of grass shears when I suddenly realized that I could see a portion of a large snake just a few inches from my hand.
After a moment of horror, I realized that he was obviously kin to a blacksnake and thus harmless. I went to get my garden hoe so I could pull him out and see just how big he was, but when I came back he was gone.
I had several close encounters with him in my garden. One time I was picking beans and there he was, gliding along under the bean plants. I kept telling my husband and kids about him, but no one else ever saw him. Dennis started calling him "Fred".
One day, I found a six foot snake skin at the edge of the garden and finally I had proof that Fred's length was not just my imagination. A few days later, Dennis came in the house and said he had decided to postpone mowing one part of the lawn. He had been mowing around and around in an ever-smaller circle, and when there was only a little round patch of grass left... there was Fred in it!
One time Keely was collecting insects for a middle school science class. The deadline was near and she didn't have enough insects yet, so Isaac and I were helping her. It is surprisingly difficult to catch some types of bugs. It's also surprising how few different species of bugs you can find when you're looking for them.
We finally developed an odd technique that worked fairly well. When we saw a desirable bug, I slapped down the mesh kitchen strainer over him. Isaac scooped him up a big spoon as he tried to escape around the edges, and Keely operated the jar.
I said to the kids, "Let's roll over this rock and see if there's any bugs under it." We all knelt on the grass around the rock and assumed our positions -- strainer, spoon, and jar ready. I rolled the rock over and we all screamed in unison. There was a snake, of course.
It's a good idea in Kentucky to wear leather gloves when picking up rocks, branches, bales of straw, boards, and anything else that a snake might be under. That's a rule we were breaking when we were bug collecting. Fortunately, it was just a little non-poisonous snake.
When I meet small snakes in my garden, I try to relocate them. I know they're in the garden to eat bugs, but I just don't like snakey surprises. I get a 7.5 gallon bucket (deep!) and my shovel. Usually by the time I get back with these tools, the snake is gone, but if it is still there, I lift it as gently as I can with the shovel, place it in the bucket, and then release it in the woods along our lane.
We have never seen a poisonous snake on our place, but there are both copperheads and timber rattlers in this part of the county. A trash fire got out of hand and burned a few acres about 1/2 mile from here several years ago, and a big copperhead was killed somehow as a result of it. I don't remember whether it was hurt by the fire or it was killed by the firefighters. I do remember that they hung it on the barbed wire fence for everyone to see its size.
I wrote the following in 1997 for a now-defunct internet bulletin board that I enjoyed for several years:
I thought this might be interesting to some. It certainly gave me a strange chill to hear about it. A farmer neighbor who came in the place where I work told me this today.
This afternoon, the farmer was tending to his "dark barns"--which are the barns in which dark tobacco is hung and cured. A fire is kept smouldering on the dirt floor of a dark barn to fill it with smoke.
Tobacco farmers get slabs and sawdust from sawmills to burn in their dark barns. Slabs are the portion of a log cut off to square it up enough that boards can be cut, so they are rounded with bark on one side and flat with wood on the other side. Slabs don't stack well, so they are sold by the bundle. Farmers haul them all year around from the sawmills because they're hard to find during tobacco season.
This afternoon, this farmer opened up a bundle of slabs that had been brought early this spring to an isolated barn in a backwoods "holler" a couple miles off the highway. To his horror, when he cut the bands on the bundle and it fell open, he saw that it was squirming with copperheads. He killed 23 copperheads out of that bundle of slabs--two adult snakes that may have been two to three feet long judging from the length he indicated with his hands as he was telling the story--and 21 little ones.
I realize that snakes have their own important place in the ecosystem, but I don't blame that farmer for killing them. He didn't want 23 copperheads looking for a new home around his tobacco barn.
He told me that he has found copperheads before in bundles of slabs, but usually just one or two. This is the most he's ever found or heard of anyone finding.

|Key pages on:
This page documents the GSM networking solutions (commonly known as GPRS) using the FreeSmartphone.Org framework (FSO).
There are other ways to enable wireless communications on the smartphone, including Bluetooth and WLAN.
Current state
Since milestone 2 the system dbus has been extended with methods that enables connectivity using GPRS. The functionality is available under
org.freesmartphone.ogsmd at
The implementation should not interfere with other phone functionality, such as placing calls. In other words: you can use GPRS while talking on the phone without hanging up. Note though that depending on hardware and networking, simultaneous data transmission and voice call alerting (let alone performing calls) might not be possible.
Since FSO is a middleware it offers no GUI, however it's fairly easy to use the methods available using any dbus tool.
The methods available:

Use mdbus -s -l to monitor the emitted signals. Signals will look roughly like this:
- ActivateContext( s:apn, s:user, s:password )
[SIGNAL] org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ContextStatus from :1.3 /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device (dbus.Int32(1), dbus.String(u'outgoing'), dbus.Dictionary({}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv')))
- Once the connection is established (takes 3-4 seconds for me) a new signal is emitted
[SIGNAL] org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ContextStatus from :1.3 /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device (dbus.Int32(1), dbus.String(u'active'), dbus.Dictionary({}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv')))
- DeactivateContext
[SIGNAL] org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ContextStatus from :1.3 /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device (dbus.Int32(1), dbus.String(u'release'), dbus.Dictionary({}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv')))
Using scripts
While we wait for the preferences part of FSO to be completed (and a GUI), we can use two shell scripts. You need to know three things to successfully connect via GPRS (your carrier should provide this information to you):
- the APN to use,
- the username, and
- the password.
If your APN has no username or password, you must still provide a string to satisfy the framework's input requirements. Entering bogus data, such as the "x" above, will suffice.
To connect, put the following in a file and make it executable (
chmod +x gprs-on.sh):
#!/bin/sh APN="internet.parlino.se" USERNAME="x" PASSWORD="x" BUSNAME="org.freesmartphone.ogsmd" OBJECTPATH="/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device" METHODNAME="org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ActivateContext" mdbus -s $BUSNAME $OBJECTPATH $METHODNAME $APN "$USERNAME" "$PASSWORD"
To disconnect, use the following method instead (
chmod +x gprs-off.sh):
#!/bin/sh BUSNAME="org.freesmartphone.ogsmd" OBJECTPATH="/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device" METHODNAME="org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.DeactivateContext" mdbus -s $BUSNAME $OBJECTPATH $METHODNAME
The on script, using the ActivateContext method, will:
- setup a ppp interface (normally ppp0) (and assign IP address)
- setup (replace) the default route
- setup DNS
with settings received from the ISP.
For a list of known APN:s, see the main GPRS page.
- When a something like org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod appears make sure that:
- frameworkd is started of course
- That the method did not hide in an other place than expected follow the white Rabbit
- Online script runs without error but pppd did not start
- use logread to debug....
- Maybe the kernel module ppp-generic is not loaded, try modprobe. ( you can do echo ppp-generic > /etc/modutils/ppp-generic and then update-modules to load the module at boot time )
- Maybe you have to do a mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
- No MUX Channels available
- Means that the frameworkd has no free channel available to connect to the GSM Modem.
- Restart the frameworkd and the phone Application (aka ophoned or zhone). Works fine for me.
- MISC Troubleshooting
- Switch the frameworkd loglevel to DEBUG (/etc/frameworkd.conf)
- use the source!
Using a GUI
SHR (Unstable??)
SHR is based on FSO, so I think its GPRS settings should be found here. Shr has its native setting manager which has Connectivity sub-panel which in turn has settings for GPRS. Its very intutive and your GPRS/FR should be up and running in no time.
To enable gprs on-demand you need to do some manual changes in framework code. Alter, /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/framework/subsystems/ogsmd/modems/abstract/modem.py as:
--- orig.modem.py Sat Jul 18 02:13:29 2009 +++ modem.py Sat Jul 18 02:13:06 2009 @@ -76,6 +76,8 @@ 'proxyarp', 'replacedefaultroute', 'usepeerdns', + 'demand', + 'idle', '20', ] self._data["pppd-does-setup-and-teardown"] = True # default is using connect and disconnect scripts
Alter, /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/framework/subsystems/ogsmd/modems/abstract/pdp.py as:

modem.py needs to be updated to setup idle timeout and auto reconnect. While pdp.py needs to be updated so ppp idle timeout resets /etc/resolv.conf to OpenDNS servers
Now, just fire up settings panel (need to be done once per boot) and in connectivity click connect for Gprs...for me it doesn't show connected anymore...but then I don't really care about that as long as the connection works :) --Todo: write a python app to wait for SIM-ready and then fire ActivateContext automatically at bootup
Note: We are updating the framework file which can be updated by any of the frameword update and one need to repeat the update (well..until a nifty setting comes into setting panel somewhere :)

The Henderson County Senior Softball League has been on a tear, winning medals at state and national competitions. Such was not always the case. In fact, the league went through some serious growing pains before achieving any success.
The league first came together in 1996 when six or seven older gentlemen got together in Hendersonville's Jackson Park to throw the ball around and take some batting practice. The following year, with a few more recruits, they had enough players to enter a team in the evening league, but never won a game.
In 1998, the ranks of the league swelled to 20 or so, enough to form two teams and compete among themselves. That arrangement worked for several more years.
Henderson County Parks and Recreation was a strong advocate of the Senior League and encouraged players to enter a team in the North Carolina Senior Games in Raleigh in 1999. There were enough takers to commit and 11 gentlemen set off for the Senior Games that September.
The State Senior Games are organized to compete in five-year age groups. A team is placed in the group that includes their youngest player. Our age range (I was among the gallants) ran from 55 to 73; thus, our team competed in the 55-59 age group.
We had only three players in that age group. Three others were in their 70s, making the average age somewhere in the mid-60s. Our first game in Raleigh was against a team from Burlington. We batted first, having lost the coin toss. We jumped off to a quick 3-0 lead and our spirits soared. We might do okay after all, we thought. But then the other team took a turn at bat.
Marty Brummer took the mound for us. I had been in the league for only a few months and had never seen Marty pitch. I soon found out why. Marty's first pitch sailed over the catcher, hitting the backstop on the fly. His second pitch was three feet outside and the third went behind the batter. His fourth pitch would have been a strike — if he had been bowling.
Things went downhill from there. Before long, Burlington had two runs scored, loaded the bases, and had yet to lift a bat off their shoulders. Dave Hannah and I were leaning against the outfield fence visiting — there was nothing else for us to do.
Team Captain Wayne Craig came out of the dugout and called time, bringing Danny Leeds out from behind the plate to replace Marty. No improvement! Burlington scored five runs, the maximum allowed per inning, all without one base hit. Demoralized, the Hendersonville team couldn't get their offense back in gear. Meanwhile, the Burlington crew kept the walk-a-thon going.
In the third inning Coach Wayne again called time out and looked around for a possible replacement for Danny. Seeing none, he took to the mound himself, despite being scheduled for hip replacement the following month. He did an admirable job, comparatively. He got the ball across the plate with decent regularity, but the opposition had already built a big lead and cruised to victory.
Succeeding games against Wilmington and Greensboro went a little better, but were still lopsided losses for Hendersonville. In senior softball there's an extra first base bag just outside the foul line. If there's a play at first, to avoid collisions the runner must use the outside bag and the defender the bag inside the line.
Regular leagues didn't use that extra first base in those days, so the grounds crew at Walnut Creek Park had to come up with something to accommodate that requirement for the Senior Games. The extra bag they settled on was about eight or 10 inches tall and soft as a pillow.
The umpires in our first game realized the risk of injury to a runner when crossing that bag and declared, "Just step over the bag or beside it, and we'll make the call as though you had touched it."
We thought that showed good common sense.
In later games the officials weren't so understanding. "If you miss the bag, we'll call you out," they told us.
Buzz Stickney was one of our leading hitters, until he got injured. While beating out an infield single in our third game, Buzz stepped on that tall bag and tripped. He went head over heels down the right field line. He had to come out of the line-up and go to the Emergency Room.
At supper he told us that he had a separated shoulder and couldn't play anymore. That reduced our roster to 10 players for the next day's medal round, the bare minimum number for a full team.
However, Danny Leeds piped up and announced, "I'm leaving for Atlanta first thing in the morning." Thus, we completed the tournament with only nine in our lineup, trying to cover the outfield with three players.
Only the top four teams in the tournament advanced to the medal round, and that included Hendersonville. In the interest of full disclosure, I should probably mention that there were only four teams in the tournament that year.
As the fourth-ranked team, we had to open the medal round against the top-seeded team: Wilmington. Having drubbed us earlier in the tournament, they were salivating as we took the field. We put up a good fight. Okay, we didn't — we got killed.
But that loss put us into the consolation game with a chance to win the bronze medal, not as good as gold or silver, but better than nothing. Although we only had nine players, Greensboro had suffered some injuries and had only nine players, too. We've got a chance, we thought. Wrong! We got pasted again.
The Hendersonville squad never played a full seven innings in any of the five games we played. With a mercy rule in effect, the officials declared a game no contest if one team was ahead by 10 runs or more at the end of the fifth inning.
The following year, the league picked up a few new players and finished fourth out of seven teams at State.
In 2001, our league had grown enough that we could send two teams, each in different age groups. The 55+ team won a bronze medal that year, the first of any kind for the Senior League in State competition.
A year or two later, a Buzz Stickney-coached 60+ team won gold. As Buzz approached home plate for the first-game preliminary discussion with the umpires, the opposing manager declared, "We'll be the home team."
"Wait a minute," Buzz replied. "We've got to have a coin toss to determine that."
Buzz won the coin toss and chose to bat first.
"I had a loaded team," Buzz declared, "and I wanted to jump on them right away, put a lot of pressure on the opposition, and make them play from behind. We did, too, winning easily."
From then on, Buzz always chose to bat first when he won the coin toss, and the other managers always chose to take the field first if they won the toss. Either way, Buzz's bombers got to bat first, jumped out to big leads, and blew away everyone to win the first gold medals in league history.
Since then, the league has sent as many as five teams to State and many of them have won medals. In 2013, the league sent two teams to the National Senior Games (also known as the Senior Olympics) in Cleveland, one team winning bronze and the other winning gold.
If you have even the slightest interest in senior softball, you should give us a try or at least come out and take a look. For more information, go to wncsrsoftball.com or call 828-243-5738.
Nielsen retired in 1999 and moved to Hendersonville from Atlanta. He's been involved in the Senior League ever since.

I let my first blogiversary go by without notice (because I forgot) but this second one has been on my mind for awhile and is a much bigger deal to me, as I'm sure all subsequent blogiversaries will be.
I started this little blog on September 30th, 2008. I was working on my genealogy website and wanted to start a blog as a companion to my site, sort of as a research journal to track my progress and hits and misses. I'm ashamed to say that this blog actually had a pretty pitiful start and fell the way of countless other blogs rather quickly. After a month I had forgotten about it and it went dark for the rest of the winter.
It probably would have stayed unused and unloved were it not for the GeneaBloggers group on Facebook. I had joined the group in July of 2008 when my interest in all things genealogy exploded like never before. But at that time it wasn't really my "thing" so I filed GeneaBloggers under the nice-but-not-for-me tab in my brain. I was very active on Facebook then (still do have an account, but if you friend me it might take me six months to accept, just FYI) and regularly got the GeneaBloggers event notices. I never paid much attention since I wasn't an active blogger but then for some reason, I start reading them and getting caught up on what exactly GeneaBloggers was. Before long I was hooked and decided to revisit this blog. And the rest is history.
With the help of GeneaBloggers I've kept at it and hope to be "keeping at it" for a long time to come. Thank you to everyone who has ever stopped to read, comment, follow or bookmark. You truly do make this blog worthwhile for me and I wouldn't be celebrating today without you.

For the record, I'm not trying to pick apart your post Jacks1071, just offering another viewpoint
Your not seriously comparing the rim in those photos to a Mavic? Other than the rim depth and maybe the hole count I can't see any similarities.
To make a 24mm rim into a strong wheel you need either really wide hub flanges, or lots of spokes, or re-enforcing on the rim like Shimano and Mavic use.
Any performance wheelset should have at a bare minimum bladed spokes.

I'd watch it just for Gus Johnson's announcing alone. Best college football announcer in the business.
Should be a great, entertaining matchup as well. I'm rooting for Oklahoma just because A&M and Oregon are typically in a lot of recruiting battles so its better for my team if they lose. But I expect A&M to win. Oklahoma's D sucks.

The first paper money was produced in China
The Largest Banknote
The 100,000-peso note created by the Philippines Government has become the world\'s largest single banknote. Because the note was designed to celebrate a century of independence from Spanish rule, it belonged to only collectors who must pay 180,000 pesos (about $3,700) for each.
The Philippines Government issued this bank note in 1998
One in a Million
The £1,000,000 note, issued by the Bank of England in 1948, was used as a temporary measure during the postwar reconstruction in the Marshall Plan. Unfortunately, the notes were cancelled after just a few months and a few escaped into private hands.
In 2008, one of two known surviving notes priced almost $120,000 at auction
It\'s All About the Elizabeths
Queen Elizabeth II\'s portrait has been used in many currencies of 33 different countries from Australia to Trinidad and Tobago. In 1935, Canada became the first nation to print the British monarch\'s image on its $20 notes. Then, U.K. and its current and former colonies, dominions as well as territories continued applying 26 different portraits of Elizabeth for thier money.
The Queen is frequently shown in formal crown-and-scepter attire
Inflation Nation\'s money
The Zimbabwe\'s newly formed unity government including President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangira must issue a $100 trillion note in early January, the highest denomination in the world, to face with hyperinflation that reached the ludicrous level of 231 million %.
The hyperinflation in this country was so serious that a loaf of bread must be bought with 300 billion Zimbabwean dollars

By Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans
The Su-24 represents the most modern and main strike element of the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF). They have taken an active part in the Syrian civil war since November 2012. While most of the SyAAF attack aircraft are already worn out and struggling to cope with the high demands, the Su-24s just received a full factory overhaul in Russia, ensuring they can maintain a high operational tempo.
Syria received a total of twenty Su-24s since 1990. Twenty Su-24MKs were ordered from the Soviet Union in 1988 and delivered in 1990. The fleet equips 819 squadron based at T4 in the middle of Syria with a few planes being detached to Seen in the South. The MK version Syria received was a downgraded variant of the Su-24M, the M being built for the Soviet Union and the MK for export customers like Algeria, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria.
Although little known to the public, the whole Syrian Su-24MK fleet was upgraded to M2 level in the past years. All twenty Su-24MKs were upgraded to MK2. The MK2 upgrade brings the Su-24s on the same standard as the Russian Su-24M2s. The upgrade provides for improved targeting, navigation and fire control systems by replacing the plane's old control systems. The plane is also being made compatible with newer versions of the KAB-500/1500 and for Kh-31As, Kh-31Ps, Kh-59s and R-73s.
The contract was signed in 2009 and work started in 2010, with most of the upgrades completed in 2013.[3] More than half of the twenty-one upgraded Su-24s made it back to Syria without any problems, but up to ten of them weren't so lucky and were still stuck at Rzhev last autumn.
|Five Syrian Su-24s at Rzhev on the 30th of July 2012
However, given the importance of Su-24M2s to SyAAF, Assad regime must have done its utmost to recover its most advanced attack aircraft sitting idly in Russia. According to a source that wants to remain anonymous, the SyAAF was already working to have them delivered a year ago. This of course being a strict violation of the arms embargo.
The example of the well-known Mi-25 deal shows that after the Russian ship carrying overhauled helicopters to Syria was forced to turn back because of the imposed embargo[4], those Mi-25s were nevertheless delivered to Syria in a covert deal. [5]
The lack of publicity on the Su-24M2 deal should have only made the delivery easier, so we may safely assume that the aircraft most likely have already made it back to Syria. New satellite photos of Rzhev can make that clear when they come up on Google Earth or other services.
On the 28th of November 2012, a SyAAF Su-24M2 was shot down above Daret Izzah in the Aleppo Governorate, making it the first loss of a Su-24 in the conflict/
The SyAAF also used her Su-24s to test the British Air Defence around Cyprus on the 2nd of September and the Turkish Air Defence on the 5th of October. A military intervention would likely have been carried out from Akrotiri, Cyprus. This would be a logical target for the SyAAF, hence the testing of the British reaction time.

AT&T Threatens To Cut Off Phone Service For Guy Who Beat Them In Small Claims Court Over Throttling
from the playing-dirty dept
A guy named Matt Spaccarelli felt that this was a clear breach of contract and sued in small claims court... and won $850 ($85 is his monthly fee, and the judge felt that there were 10 months left on the contract that was violated... so, $850). Spaccarelli then also set up a website with all the details, so that others could file their own lawsuits. Apparently, AT&T is none too pleased about this and is playing hardball with the guy, threatening to cut off his phone service after determining that he used the phone to tether.
How nice, right? Beat AT&T in small claims court, and they'll potentially cut off your phone service.
Separately, they're trying to "settle" with him, but are pissed off that he's been public about the settlement attempts so far, as the key thing in the mind of AT&T lawyers and execs is getting a gag order in place to stop others from going down the same path. Of course, there's no requirement that Spaccarelli settle or agree to any gag order, and it sounds like he's not planning to:
Spaccarelli has posted online the documents he used to argue his case and encourages other AT&T customers copy his suit. Legal settlements usually include non-disclosure agreements that would force Spaccarelli to take down the documents.Good for him.
In its letter, AT&T asked Spaccarelli to be quiet about the settlement talks, including the fact that it offered to start them, another common stipulation. Spaccarelli said he was not interested in settling, and forwarded the letter to The Associated Press.

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's lacrosse co-head coaches Amy Appelt and Tony Giro have announced the hiring of Alex Mundy as their new assistant coach.
"We are very excited to have Alex on our staff," Appelt said. "She is a competitor and brings great passion to the game. She was a standout player at Vanderbilt and has a great deal of knowledge of the defensive system that we want to run. Tony and I know that Alex will be a great addition to the staff and we are excited to get started."
Mundy, a former two-time All-American Second Team honoree, played four seasons with the Vanderbilt women's lacrosse program. During her time with the Commodores, Mundy earned First Team All-Conference and First Team Regional All-American honors, while helping VU to an Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Top-15 National Ranking all four seasons and appeared in four straight National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournaments.
Mundy graduated in 2010 from Vanderbilt with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and political science, as well as a minor in managerial studies with a concentration in corporate strategy.
Following her playing career and a brief stint outside of athletics, Mundy returned to the field, serving as an assistant coach at Yale for the past year. While with the Bulldogs, Mundy took on responsibilities such as team defensive coordinator, community service coordinator, alumni communications coordinator, equipment coordinator and co-recruiting coordinator.
"I could not be more excited to be joining the UMBC lacrosse family," said Mundy. "The enthusiasm that Tony and Amy share about the team and the program's future is contagious and to be appointed to a position as a part of their coaching staff is an enormous honor. I am so happy and fortunate to be able to call UMBC my new home."

No Intel mobile price cuts coming until June, say moles
Recession delays new-tech introductions too
Intel has told notebook makers it won't be reducing what it charges for mobile processors and chipsets until well into Q2, at the earliest.
Market moles cited by DigiTimes say cuts could come in June, with reductions of 13-40 per cent planned by the chip maker.
That will undoubtedly see the launch of 'Calpella', the next major Centrino roll-out, pushed back, the sources said. And, indeed, that's exactly what we see when we look at Intel's latest roadmap: a late Q3 launch for Calpella and 'Clarksfield', the mobile version of the Core i7.
Calpella looks set to ship in September, a couple of months after its anticipated release date.
Clearly, Intel doesn't believe rushing out new technology will persuade punters to purchase new portables - which is why it looks to have nudged back the next-gen Atom release too.
It's interesting that the chip giant doesn't see lower prices as a way to kick-start sales, either. ®

A nearly two-hour meeting of the Beaufort County School Board called in part to discuss the extended leave of H.E. McCracken Principal Phillip Shaw ended without action or new information Tuesday.
The board met in executive session to discuss personnel matters, which qualify as an exemption from public disclosure law.
Shaw has been on paid leave since Nov. 8, and district officials have refused to say why. His secretary, Denise Gibbo, has been on paid leave since about the same time.
An unauthorized bank account that turned up during a review prompted by Shaw's leave was referred to the police, who closed their investigation after learning it belongs to the school's PTO or student council and didn't break any law.
That review is ongoing, said district spokesman Jim Foster, who said he's preparing for a release of information about the situation by the end of the week.

New Ford Fusion Redefines Midsize Sedan Expectations with Unprecedented Suite of Driver Assist Technologies
The all-new 2013 Ford Fusion leapfrogs the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord with an unprecedented suite of active driver assist technologies usually found only in luxury cars costing twice as much.
A package of radar, ultrasonic, optical and motion sensors adds a new level of convenience for midsize sedan customers by transitioning beyond passive safety technology to offer drivers Lane-Keeping System, Driver Alert System, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS ®), active park assist, cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, collision warning and a rear view camera.
"These new sensing technologies help extend the driver's own senses, providing a level of assistance never before available to the family sedan buyer," said Adrian Whittle, Ford Fusion chief engineer. "The new Fusion launches this year with these advanced technologies – making them more affordable and available than ever before."
Fusion's suite of driver assist technologies are the result of the addition of new sensors, including cameras and radar combined with existing technologies, such as electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) and data from the anti-lock braking and stability control systems.
Lane-Keeping System
Lane-Keeping System uses a forward-facing camera that can scan the road surface for lane markings. The Lane-Keeping System can evaluate if the car is drifting out of its lane and then alert the driver by vibrating the steering wheel. If the driver does not respond to the vibrations, the system provides steering torque to nudge the car back toward the center of the lane.
To view video about the Lane-Keeping System, click here: http://youtu.be/LFB-xOaTAKo
Driver Alert System
Driver Alert uses the front-facing camera to detect a pattern of vehicle motion consistent with a drowsy driver, and provides a series of alerts to suggest the driver stop and rest for a while. The visual alert includes a coffee cup icon appearing in the instrument cluster display indicating that pulling off the road and taking a break is a good idea. In a survey conducted by AAA Foundation, more than 40 percent of Americans acknowledge they have fallen asleep or nodded off while driving.
Pull-Drift Compensation
Pull-Drift Compensation is built into the electric power-assisted steering to counter the effects of steeply crowned roads or steady crosswinds. It can detect if the car is changing direction even if the steering angle sensor indicates the driver is not commanding this change. The Pull-Drift control then uses EPAS to provide gradual steering corrections that keep the car moving to where the driver wants to go.
Adaptive cruise control with collision warning
Adaptive cruise control uses a radar sensor that measures the distance and speed to the vehicle ahead.
With this extra information, the same engine power reduction and brake application techniques that are used to limit wheel spin by the traction control system can now be used to automatically slow the car and maintain a safe following distance when the adaptive cruise control is active. If the sensors detect the following distance is shrinking too quickly and a collision is likely, the system will provide a visual and audio alert so the driver can respond by steering or braking.
Active park assist
With available active park assist, the electric power-assisted steering and ultrasonic sensors at the corners of the car work in concert to help make parallel parking a breeze. The sensors measure the gap between parked cars to see if there is enough room, and then the car is automatically steered into the space. The driver just has to apply the accelerator and brake.
Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert
No matter how careful drivers are, the physical constraints of sitting inside a car means there always will be places they cannot see. Rearview mirrors help, but the Fusion is available with radar sensors in the rear corners that can monitor the spaces beside and just behind the car.
On the road, these sensors trigger a warning light in the mirror indicating there is another vehicle in the blind spot the driver may not be able to see when changing lanes. When backing out of a parking space, these same sensors can see vehicles coming down the aisle while the back-up camera provides a view directly behind the rear bumper.
What's next?
The driver assist systems in the new Fusion mark Ford's near-term next steps in the development of future mobility technologies. Sensing systems similar to what will be installed on the new Fusion are the foundational hardware that will help further progress active safety technology in the future including autonomous assisted driving in the long-term.
"The new Fusion is a showcase of how we will use sensors and vehicle data to enhance the driver's own capabilities when behind the wheel," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president of Ford Research and Innovation. "Driver assist technologies will continue to provide increasing levels of convenience in the near-term. In the future, they also will help us manage issues such as traffic congestion and CO2 reduction."
At the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, outlined the company's Blueprint for Mobility that presents the development cadence for future active safety systems including vehicle-to-vehicle communications and autonomous assistance technology.

Magazine pioneer Judith Daniels dies
She served as the top editor at 'Life' and many other publications.
UNION, Maine (AP) — Judith Glassman Daniels, who blazed a trail for women in the publishing world and became the first woman to serve as top editor of Life magazine, has died at the age of 74.
Daniels served in senior editing positions at The Village Voice, New York magazine, Time Inc. and Conde Naste over a career that spanned 35 years in New York before she retired with her husband to Maine in 2004. She died Sunday from stomach cancer at their home in Union, said her husband, Lee Webb.
During her career, Daniels oversaw creation of a magazine for executive women called Savvy at a time when magazines catered to stay-at-home moms, and she helped to found the Women's Media Group in New York. At Life, she oversaw the publication's 50th anniversary.
Her husband called her "a real pioneer."
"She really was one of the women who broke the glass ceiling that allowed women to rise high in the publishing world," Webb said from their home on Tuesday.
Daniels was born in Cambridge, Mass., and was raised in Brookline, Mass. She set off for New York after getting her English degree from Smith College, rising through the ranks in magazines.
Patricia O'Toole, who worked for Daniels as a writer and editor at Savvy, said Daniels was naturally curious and loved writing and editing. And writers loved to work for her, she said.
"Everybody wanted to please Judy," said O'Toole, a biographer and professor in New York. "Sometimes when there's a boss like that it's because they have to please them because otherwise there's going to be hell to pay. But Judy wasn't like that at all. You wanted to please her because she was such a good coach. She had very high editorial standards, and she'd help you measure up."
John MacMillan, editorial director at Smith College, where Daniels was a longtime member of the Smith Alumnae Council, called Daniels a "change-maker" who was helped the next generation of women get ahead.
"She was thinking about the issues facing successful professional women long before they were trendy, like work-life balance and the pressure that women face to get ideas heard," he said. "She was thinking about those way back in the 1970s and '80s."
Daniels and Webb had ties to Maine before moving to the state permanently.
Daniels became active in the Maine Women's Policy Center, the Women's Lobby and the Maine Humanities Council. She also served as chairwoman of Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockport.
The family is planning an October memorial service, Webb said.

Remember Kobe's weird video announcing his comeback with his Lakers jersey writhing around set to epic music? (And how it went on for far too long?) A clever Utah Jazz fan created a similar production for Wednesday's return of future Hall of Famer Marvin Williams, who came back from a four-game absence due to a heel injury.
Williams had eight points, five assists, four rebounds, and two steals in a 122-101 win over the Kings. It was definitely the video.

There is no place like home. For me, even though the bridge only exists in photos, such as this one, and in our memories, it will always be one of those landmarks that tells me we are almost home. Thanksgiving time seems to bring out the warmest of memories of our Penrose home, wonderful food smells, and hugs to go around. Thank you for a happy memory jog.

There are so many memories of the old Penrose bridge. It was our goal on many walks, including one warm Thanksgiving Day when we went after dinner and the dishes without jackets, and walked down and back, and then Climbing down on the center pier in the summer to sit and try to catch a fish with our sticks, string, and safety pins (once a fish hook that we lost on Bothilde's front lawn), listening to the occasional car go overhead as the dust filtered down through the cracks. We are all indebted to Dwight for his really fine pictures of this old bridge.

I poke in my Arduino folders, but I didn't the actual C program created by the Arduino IDE.Something I do wrong.
@LiudrDid you overlook the fact that he is trying to use the Arduino library from within Atmel Studio? Maybe (probably) I am the one who is confused.Don
Hi Liudr,I did it, but I get the same errors:Error 1 undefined reference to `LiquidCrystal::clear()' Error 2 undefined reference to `LiquidCrystal::begin(unsigned char, unsigned char, unsigned char)' Error 3 undefined reference to `LiquidCrystal::setCursor(unsigned char, unsigned char)' Error 4 undefined reference to `LiquidCrystal::setCursor(unsigned char, unsigned char)' Error 5 undefined reference to `LiquidCrystal::LiquidCrystal(unsigned char, unsigned char, unsigned char, unsigned char, unsigned char, unsigned char, unsigned char)'
Those look like linker errors, meaning that your program has compiled OK but the object code library file for the LiquidCrystal library was not found. Either locate the object code library and add it to the linker input list in your AVR Studio project, or add the LiquidCrystal.cpp file to the list of source files in your project.

None of these were big-ticket free agent acquisitions. None of these moves made hearts go pitter-patter with excitement. But in combination, the team was completely transformed in one offseason.
And, yes, I know the Sox will not be winning the World Series in 2014. The 2013 Sox don't have nearly as many pieces in place as the 2004 Sox did.
I merely use this as an illustration of how a GM can quickly change the makeup of a roster without signing a big-ticket free agent, or embarking on some five-year rebuild. The Sox are not going to undertake a Cubs-style rebuilding, nor should they. Or, to use an example within the AL Central, I'm still waiting for that awesome Kansas City farm system to produce multiple playoff appearances at the big-league level.
I don't know why people think rebuilding through the draft and the minor-league system is a surefire solution. For every Tampa Bay and Washington, there's a Kansas City and a Pittsburgh. Those two organizations went through about four five-year plans. The Pirates might finally be starting to pull out of it, but the Royals still blow.
The Sox do need to do a better job of scouting, drafting and developing. That's obvious. But the bigger problem here is tying up too much money in just a handful of players. For years, the Sox have suffered from having a top-heavy roster. Now, the guys who are making the bucks have stopped producing, and this is what you get -- a team that's completely out of balance and stuck between a rock and a hard place in the short run.
The Kansas City/Pittsburgh example isn't a good one, IMO. Those teams either can't or won't spend much on major league payroll. So, they're trying to win through farm system only. The Sox aren't in that situation.
I agree that the Sox need to do a mix of both - better scouting/drafting/developing PLUS spending money on key veterans to fill out the roster and that could make themselves a contender.
The free agents that you mentioned above that KW acquired before the 2005 season was masterful. But the problem is that the Sox have come to rely almost solely on under the radar players and a "maybe we'll surprise everyone this year" approach to competing. Those kind of players definitely play a part in winning teams. But they can't be the cornerstone of our playoff efforts and this team will never be a consistent playoff contender if they just keep trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
