- Appearance:
- Male: As the name implies, these birds have black lacing around their golden-bay feathers. The lacing is thicker the closer to the head, and on the head can be very thick as shown in the picture. Males of the polish breed typically have a more umbrella shaped crest on their head, and may be prone to attempting to pluck feathers from other males' crests, but this can be remedied with space and a little bit of entertainment. Make sure that you have very consistent black-laced golden-bay feathers, without the occasional completely white feather. The hackles, however, are tipped with black instead of laced. Just a heads up.
- Female: In contrast to the males, females have a more puff-ball shaped crest, and also sport the black-laced, golden bay feathers in both their crest and body. Also, in general with the crested breeds, polish included, the fowl will have large nostrils, so do not be surprised.
- Face: Red
- Comb: Red V-comb
- Earlobes: White
- Skin color: White
- Beak color: Light horn
- Eyes: Dark Brown
- Legs: Dark Blue/Slate
- Weight: Rooster-6 Hen-4.5 Cockerel-5 Pullet-4
- Purpose: Dual-purpose
- Origin: Earliest accounts trace the Ploish chickens back to Asia, but the earliest recorded presence is in Holland, in approximately the 1600s. It is thought that a similar bird existed in even Roman times.
- Common: Relatively
- Egg color: White
- Egg size: Medium to Small
- Eggs a week/year: A little more than 2 eggs a week/about 120 a year.
- Broody: No
- Confinement: Great, can actually be somewhat beneficial to be in confinement in a stable environment, otherwise they may be very easily startled, and jumpy.
- Compatibility: Not good. They do better when they have ample space, but otherwise they may peck at other chickens.
- Hardy: Not very. Especially in the winter months water from drinking may freeze in their crests, so they may take some maintenance, and maybe a blow dryer in winter months once in a while. Their feathers are not very well suited for cold weather either.
- Bantam: Yes*
- Personality: They are very friendly birds, and have a calm disposition. They can be jumpy however due to their limited vision, but this can be remedied by either trimming the feathers around the eyes, or tying up their crests. They are quite active, and fun to watch run around. Loud noises may scare them more so than other breeds, but otherwise they are quite normal.
- Available from:*
- Purely Poultry
- Day Old: (Min. 5) SR: $2.23
- My Pet Chicken
- Day Old: (Min. 3 in total) SR: $3.75, F: $4.25, M: $3.25

Nice Place to Stay
The property itself was nice but there were a few issues with the shower in the 1st bathroom. We couldn't get the hot water to mix (just cold water) and the filler around the shower tray was moulding and could do with replacing. I did not use the shower. The pool was filled with dead leaves and seemed cloudy so we did not go in it. The instructions left in the property explained that the pool is cleaned on specific days but we saw no one. This was not a big issue as it was just my wife and myself but if we'd brought our family it would have been an issue. The bed, for us, was very hard and uncomfortable but I think this is down to preference as others may have found it ok. Overall it became a base and not a place that we spent much time in to be fair. The views were lovely and once you got used to the area and knew where you were going, it was not hard to get back and forth from.
Great Place
We had the top floor 3 bed apartment and it was extremely comfortable. Quality of fixtures and fittings was second to none, the house and pool are in an upmarket conurbation with friendly neighbours. A car is very necessary as there is nothing within walking distance, but Torre del Mar is just a few minutes away and has everything needed. Highly recommended for those wanting a place that is roomy, luxurious and quiet.
Activity and Interests
The town of Torre del Mar is only 3 km from Niza Beach and provides everything you will need for a fantastic holiday. There is a large sandy beach backed by a lovely promenade and many international restaurants including traditional Spanish, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Argentinian, Mexican, French, Moroccan and vegetarian. There are also plenty of ice cream parlours 'heladerias' along the seafront serving every type of ice cream and enormous ice cream sundaes. A variety of water sports are available on the beach at Torre del Mar and others at nearby Lake Vinuela and there is a new golf course about 5 km away. Torre del Mar is an excellent base from which to explore Andalusia and the Costa del Sol. Granada and it's fabulous Alhambra can be reached in under 2 h as can the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Within a 30 min drive of Torre del Mar there are plenty of traditional Spanish villages set amongst beautiful countryside with stunning views.

College can be tricky. There are a lot of decisions to make when you first get to campus and picking out your major is one of the most important. So what exactly is a major? A college major is a group of specific courses that you need in order to earn your degree. They are all the classes designed to specifically train and prepare you for a future career. That doesn't mean you can only take classes set aside for your chosen major. Biology students can always let out their inner artist with few drama classes just like Modern Dance students can experiment with a chemistry elective.
So now that you know what a major is, when do you have to choose one? Most four-year students will have already picked out their major during the start of freshmen year, but you're not typically required to do so until you become a sophomore. That way, you can spend the first few semesters learning what your strengths are, figuring out your goals, and finding a degree program that you're truly passionate about. Once you've decided, you might have to set up a meeting with either a counselor or faculty member to fill out paperwork, plan out your next semester, or just learn more about your department of choice.
Choosing a major doesn't mean you have to stick to one specific career path, either. Unlike learning a trade, earning your degree can help prepare you for a wide range of options. English literature students don't have to stick to writing novels after graduation. Their major will have prepared them for a teaching position or even a role at a public relations firm. It's important to think about where you want to be after college and finding a program that can help make you a unique asset to that field.
One more thing to consider before choosing your major is the course catalogue. The same programs are often called by different names at different universities so it's important to know exactly which courses are offered. Sports Medicine & Kinesiology are the same field of study, but go by different names.
Choosing a major is a big part of the college experience, and it should be fun and not stressful. Work with a guidance counselor or speak with career services to help you pick out the right one.
Still having trouble picking out a major? Take the quiz to see what your personality says about the career that's right for you!
Now you know what you want to study... but not sure where?? Grab our guide on how to choose the right college.

Snow laden trees, warm glowing fires and sparkling slopes of freshly groomed snow – the holidays are always a magical time of year in Winter Park, Colorado.
If you're headed to Winter Park this Holiday season and want to take part in some of the local festivities, check out our quick highlights of Christmas events in Winter Park below.
Christmas Carols in the Village
Like a good sing-a-long? Team up with the What The Dickens? Carolers! as they stroll through the Village between 4 PM – 5.15 PM.
Torchlight Parade and Fireworks at Winter Park Resort
The pinnacle of the Holiday celebrations at Winter Park Resort is the Torchlight Parade and fireworks at 5.30 PM..
Watch from below as skiers and riders bearing glowing torches weave their way down the mountain, followed by Santa and his elves. Then watch in awe as fireworks light up the night sky, and colorfully lit snowcats move down the mountain in a perfect Christmas tree formation.
Following the ski-down, an inter-denominational service will be held in the lower level of Balcony House.
Holiday Buffet at The Lodge At Sunspot
The Zephyr gondola will start running right after the Torchlight Parade, to ferry hungry diners up to the Lodge at Sunspot for a Christmas Eve dinner they'll never forget.
The Holiday Buffet menu features salad, soup, a carving station (with vegetarian option), vegetables & sides, and a desert bar.
$79.75 Adults, $49.95 Children under 10 years. Prices include gondola ride, dinner and non-alcoholic beverages (tax, gratuity & alcoholic beverages are additional).

$49/adult (13 and up), $25/child (4-12).
To make a reservation call 970-726.7013

Head to Hideaway Park in central Downtown Winter Park to sled, dance and watch fireworks spark up the skies at 9 PM.
Afterward, dance it up at Deno's DJ Dance Party, keep it classy at Volario's, or take your pick of late night hot spots to ring in the New Year.
Blow off the cobwebs with an early morning ski, zip up to the Continental Divide on a snowmobile tour, get wild with the pack on a dogsled ride, or soar to new heights on a hot air balloon ride.

I'm not a big one for pinning my hopes on scratch cards or life changing lottery wins, but there's something about the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway that lures me in every year. Seriously, I'm going on 10 years of entering my email into that magic box every morning like a well trained puppy!
As with most Dream Home groupies, I enjoy losing myself in the fantasy world of what it would be like to live in such a home, in such an incredible location.
Well, now you can test out one of those fantasies, even if your name isn't necessarily on the deed!
That's right the 2007 HGTV Dream Home, based in none other than Winter Park, is now part of our luxury home rental program and available to rent this winter.
Located in the exclusive, gated community of Bridger's Cache, Mary Jane's Dream Home is one of only a handful of properties snuggled into the woodland below the slopes of Mary Jane at Winter Park Resort.
An alluring blend of rustic mountain architecture and unique and charming interior design, Mary Jane's Dream Home certainly lives up to its coveted title; but what really stands out about this home, is its innate livability and warmth.
Upon entering the home, you'll be in awe of the grand beam construction throughout the home, yet find yourself immediately at ease and immersed in the warm hues and plush, welcoming décor.
As you explore the home, you'll find yourself unable to stop yourself from sinking into an inviting sofa, or doing a quick Goldilocks mattress-bounce on a bed or two along the way. As the kids charge through the lower level, claiming their bunk and reveling in having their very own movie den and wet bar, you'll no doubt find each of your adult guests on one of the many private balconies, gazing out at the breathtaking surroundings and breathing in the fresh mountain air.
With multiple lounging areas and four sumptuous bedrooms to relax in, there are plenty of little hideaways when you need some downtime, but vacationing with friends and family is all about sharing experiences, and the social center of Mary Jane's Dream Home has to be the fabulous main level.
Complete with a cozy lounge with fireplace and huge picture window framing the winter wonderland outside, super cool kitchen (with ample room for multiple chefs!) and large dining table to gather and enjoy a home cooked feast, when it's time to bring everyone together, Mary Jane's Dream Home delivers.
Ah yes, skiing. I was so wrapped up in the delights of this home in itself, I almost forgot about the world-class skiing on the doorstep….almost.
Winter Park Resort is a front runner in Colorado's ski resort rankings, with 3000+ acres of skiing terrain that can both challenge the most experienced skier, and stir up a new found passion in a first timer. Perfect for families and groups of mixed abilities, Winter Park Resort splits its area into seven distinct territories, click here to check out our latest guide to the Seven Territories Of Winter Park Resort.
Mary Jane's Dream Home sits below the slopes of Mary Jane Territory – the local's favorite, and home to the best bump skiing in North America. A one minute car ride will get you to the Mary Jane Base Area lifts, or hop on the Corridor Trail (100 yard walk) and buzz your way down to the main base area of Winter Park, with Ski School access and 'Parkside' lifts.

If you haven't heard the news, it's been DUMPING snow in Colorado over the last month (November 2015).
As a result, we're enjoying the best early season skiing in years; so much so that Winter Park was just placed in Snowbrains, Top 10 Snowfall Totals In North America Right Now.
Since opening day we have seen 80 inches of fluffy, perfect powder fall from the skies and currently have 72 trails open between Winter Park Territory & Mary Jane Territory; and with another storm heading our way this weekend, we suspect that it won't be long before even more of Winter Park territories start opening up.
With all this open terrain in mind, we thought this would be a good time to do a quick refresher on the Seven Territories Of Winter Park Resort, so that you can spend less time studying the map, and more time seeking out those powder stashes!
Expert Only: 0% Most Difficult: 20% Advanced: 32% Intermediate: 21% Beginner: 27%
Winter Park Territory begins at the main base area and shoots up to a staggering 10,713 feet via the Zephyr Express. From here you can take your pick of green/blue/black groomers, tear up incredible terrain parks, test your speed on the Nastar, or join in a lesson with the highly acclaimed Ski & Ride School. Given its diversity, Winter Park Territory is very popular with families and groups, so can tend to be one of the busier areas of the resort during peak ski times.
Expert Only: 0% Most Difficult: 51% Advanced: 3% Intermediate: 36% Beginner: 10%
This little gem is often one of the quietest areas in the Resort and an absolute playground for the advanced intermediate skier. Accessed via a cat track from the base of the Olympia Express lift, Vasquez is a great mix of blue/black groomers, with some really fun, short tree run options. Most of the runs in this area filter back into a very low angle cat track to get back to the main Pioneer Express chair lift, so snowboarders should be prepared to do a little skootching , or better yet, borrow some poles from a skiing buddy to help with the run out.
Expert Only: 1% Most Difficult: 59% Advanced: 15% Intermediate: 19% Beginner: 6%
Mary Jane's legendary bump runs don't need a lot of introduction, but this curvy lady has a lot more in her armory than Volkswagon sized moguls. Beginners and intermediates will love the long Mary Jane trail to Arrowhead groomer and the cruisy blues around Sunnyside lift; and more advanced skiers can build up bump skills on a variety of short pitches around Golden Spike/Sterling way and test their stamina on longer runs like Trestle and Drunken Frenchman. For the expert skier, Mary Jane definitely delivers, with leg juddering mogul runs (yep, those VWs again), steep and technical tree runs galore, and the Double Black chutes – arguably the most technical terrain at the Resort.
Expert Only: 0% Most Difficult: 20% Advanced: 49.7% Intermediate: 30.3% Beginner: 0%
Parsenn bowl is the perfect introduction to skiing ungroomed terrain for intermediate level skiers and riders. Ride the aptly named Panoramic Express to 12,000 feet and take in the incredible views of mountains all around, then ski down 1714 feet of vertical drop via blue groomers that dip their way through perfectly gladed forest, or make your own trail and test out your powder turns down the wide open face of Parsenn bowl. The Panoramic Express also serves as the access lift to get over to The Cirque and Eagle Wind territories.
Expert Only: 0% Most Difficult: 96% Advanced: 4% Intermediate: 0% Beginner: 0%
Eagle Wind is all about the tree skiing – good, steep, powdery tree skiing! This ungroomed area sits across the valley from The Cirque and is an absolute blast after (or during!) a snow storm. Served by the Eagle Wind chairlift, skiers and riders traverse along the top of the ridge to take their pick of pillowy lines through the steep pockets of trees and valleys. All of the ski runs end at the lower egress cat track, making it easy to get everyone together if you lose each other in the woods.
Expert Only: 25% Most Difficult: 75% Advanced: 0% Intermediate: 0% Beginner: 0%
Touted as in-bounds with an out-of-bounds attitude, The Cirque offers close to 400 acres of ungroomed, double black diamond skiing through steep, technical terrain. Skate, hike or ride the Cirque Sled (extra pass required to take the sled) along the top of The Cirque until you find the perfect line and then take the leap. While all of the terrain in this area hits the bullseye for a double-black rating, some lines are more forgiving than others, so expert level skiers shouldn't be intimidated by how it looks from Eagle Wind – it's a really fun spot and if you have the skills, it's well worth the effort. As with Eagle Wind, all of the Cirque runs will dump you out on the Egress cat track, where you'll need to take the Eagle Wind chair back up to Parsenn Bowl/Eagle Wind territory, or continue on the Egress to go all the way to the Pioneer Express and Vasquez Ridge territory.

If you're thinking of visiting us over Thanksgiving, perfect timing! You'll be able to check out Karla's exhibit at the Old Fashioned Holiday Craft Show November 27 & 28 at the Arts Council Building in Grand Lake.
What inspires you?
Seeing the look on peoples' faces the first time they see a snowflake up close. I have seen a lot of emotions in my snowflake booth at shows. For me the message is, if a snowflake this small can impact someone so much, imagine what an impact we each can make in our lives every day.
When did you take your first snowflake picture?
My first snowflake shot was taken December 2006 and I have since taken over 90,000 snowflake shots.
How long does each photo take to produce?
Every photo is different, with the new style. I shoot the snowflake on slides, so I end up cleaning up any dirt on the slides with photoshop. The rest of the pics are natural, no photo stacking or snowflake manipulation up to this point.
What's your favorite photo you've ever taken?
All of them. Every new snowflake is just as exciting as the first. I am a snowflake addict!
What did you do before you were the snowflake photographer?
Since 2006 my winter job is snowflake photography and my summer job and passion is custom landscaping in Grand County (stellarbooth.com) I create natural moss rock mountain landscapes, I built the pondless waterfall at the new courthouse, pondless waterfall for 9 news in Denver and I go on 9 news frequently to teach home owners about water and landscape things.
What's the best time of day for capturing these images?
Best temperatures 0 to -20 degrees, this gives more working time on the shot. No wind, usually morning, but if it is snowing I am out.
What's your favorite thing about Grand County?
I love everything about Grand County, I love late September waking up and going to bed hearing the Elk bugling. The crisp fall mornings, with beautiful sunrises. Walking into City Market on Tuesdays and knowing you will see and socialize with at least 10 of your local neighbors. I love the support you feel in this County, the fundraisers for those in need, cannot be topped with the generosity of this County, we should all be proud to be a part of it, I know I am.

Believe IT or Not
The Boston Celtics are playing their best basketball since the days of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and (yes, even) Ray Allen. They currently sit second in the Eastern conference, tthree games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Kevin Love out with an injury and LeBron James logging more minutes than he should at age 32, and Brad Stevens is going to coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars for the first time in his career. Perhaps most impressive about what they have done is that they are winning games with regularity in spite of their significant lack of health, with the longest tenured current Celtic Avery Bradley and 2016 free agent acquisition Al Horford both missing extended periods due to injury.
The success of the Celtics two and a half years removed from being in the draft lottery themselves (as opposed to living vicariously though the Brooklyn Nets' miserable season) to being a top-five team in the NBA, despite Danny Ainge's inability to find suitors in this decade's version of the Allen and Garnett trades that the fan base so desperately wanted, is a testament to the coaching staff and the smaller moves Ainge has been able to make, but the biggest story for the Celtics has been the NBA's smallest blossoming superstar.
Isaiah Thomas stands 5'9″, two inches shorter than I am, and my always unrealistic dream of playing on a school basketball team, let alone in the NBA ended around sixth grade when I realized I'd never be tall enough to make up for my inherent lack of skill. Despite a good college career (two time 1st Team All-Pac-10, two time Pac-10 Tournament MVP at Washington), Thomas was overlooked by NBA teams for his height, and he was taken with the 60th and final pick of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings.
What is amazing about players taken in the 2nd round of the NBA Draft is that the ones that make it as stars, make it with a vengeance. Draymond Green fell to the second round, is now the NBA's best defender, the most polarizing player on the NBA's best team, and has developed this revisionist history around his draft status where several teams claim they were about to take him even though they all had a chance at him. Manu Ginobili being selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the 57th overall pick in 1999 and forging a Hall of Fame career out of obscurity in Argentina is an even greater component to the mystique and the greatness of Gregg Popovich and the Spurs than lucking into Tim Duncan at #1 in 1997.
In Isaiah's case, though, the Kings do not get the credit for finding a diamond in the rough of a superstar because they let him go before his full potential was realized–same goes for the Phoenix Suns–but the chip on his shoulder is just as big as Draymond's. Thanks to another great trade by Danny Ainge (a three team trade with Phoenix and Detroit where the Celtics gave away Marcus Thornton, Tayshaun Prince, and a late 2016 1st round pick, and came away with Gigi Datome, Jonas Jerebko, and IT), Thomas arrived in Boston at the 2015 trade deadline.
The Boston teams are in the midst of an under-six-feet renaissance between Julian Edelman (5'10"), Dion Lewis (5'8″), Malcolm Butler (5'11"), Danny Amendola (5'11"), Dustin Pedroia (5'9″), Mookie Betts (5'9″), Andrew Benintendi (5'10"), Jackie Bradley Jr. (5'10"), Brad Marchand (5'9″), and Torey Krug (5'9″), but Isaiah Thomas is the ultimate example because of the emphasis on height in who plays basketball at the professional level. While the Red Sox and Patriots gain acclaim for taking a chance on shorter outfield prospects and surrounding Tom Brady with a bunch of quick and shifty little guys, the Celtics have turned into a borderline contender built around a little guy in a big guy's sport. This is almost unprecedented.
My two favorite basketball players who never played for the Celtics are Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson. I have written plenty about Duncan over the years, given that he was an active player this time last year, and he and Pop have been the Brady and Belichick of basketball. I wanted to write my ode to AI in September when he was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in September, but it was my last college semester, I was working full time, and my buddy Murf's bachelor party was that same weekend. Life got in the way, but I am here now.
I attended my first Celtics game in 2001, weeks after Rick Pitino skipped town. The Philadelphia 76ers were in town in a year when they eventually reached the Finals and Iverson was the MVP. To this day, I believe he is the best athlete I have ever seen in person (Honorable mentions Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The interesting thing is that Malkin actually stands out more than Crosby in person because of his size.). By my memory, he systematically picked apart a Celtics team that had Pierce and Antoine Walker and was finally showing signs of a competitive pulse at the start of the Jim O'Brien Era almost entirely by himself. It was amazing.
Iverson was officially listed at 6'0″, but even as a kid, I never really believed that number. AI was fearless and played like he was six inches taller than his actual height, making him one of the most intimidating people in the history of the NBA. He played hard and lived hard, and his career ended much more abruptly than many of his contemporaries as a result, but in his heyday, there were few players more compelling for someone flipping through the channels and stopping on a neutral site basketball game.
AI never won a title, and was labeled as a selfish player. Some of that was fair, but also a lot of that was the lack of quality talent that surrounded him in his prime. Unlike other elite point guards of his era like John Stockton, Gary Payton, and Steve Nash, AI never had a Karl Malone, or a Shawn Kemp, or a Dirk Nowitzki, or even an Amar'e Stoudemire to give the ball to. AI had Keith Van Horn and a past-his-prime Dikembe Mutombo. Iverson tried to do everything on offense by himself because that really was the best option in most years. This is the thing that has me worried about IT in Boston, but also not really. Sure, Al Horford is not the elite offensive threat that Karl Malone is. Sure, Kelly Olynyk is the victim of early Dirk comparisons. Sure, Jaylen Brown is an unproven rookie with some trouble finishing at the rim. But the Celtics are still building. Isaiah already does not have to do it all himself, even if he is consistently lighting it up in the fourth quarter, but they are still getting better.
What I really like about Isaiah Thomas the more I have learned about him is his self-awareness. In listening to recent podcasts where his sat down with Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer and Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, he has it all in perspective. He was the last pick in the draft. He was 27 and on his third team by the time he became an All-Star, and he's just now getting recognized as a legitimate superstar at 28. It's like an actor or musician who did not achieve success or fame until after he or she learned how to be an adult. In the NBA, we are at the point where we are surprised when someone drafted as a teenager like Kevin Garnett or LeBron James turns into a well-adjusted human being. Isaiah spent his basketball career being doubted, being overlooked, and has proven people wrong at every turn, so now that he's arrived, he's not about to let it get to his head.
This week, Thomas broke a 45 year old Celtics franchise record set by the great John Havlicek of 40 consecutive games scoring 20 points or more, with game 41 being Boston's last-minute loss to the Chicago Bulls the other night. IT is making his way into the history books in the NBA's most storied franchise, but this story is still in its early stages.
Is It Better to Be Smart, Or to Win?
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Oakland Athletics earned critical acclaim and notoriety for fielding competitive baseball teams in spite of their noncompetitive payrolls. The success with the deck stacked against them made Billy Beane the poster boy of the baseball analytics movement and Michael Lewis' 2003 book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game spawned a genre of outside-the-box-front-office-strategy books from Jonah Keri's The Extra 2% about the Tampa Bay Rays, to Molly Knight's The Best Team Money Can Buy about the Los Angeles Dodgers, to Travis Sawchik's Big Data Baseball about the Pittsburgh Pirates, to Steve Kettmann's Baseball Maverick about Beane's mentor Sandy Alderson and the job he rebuilding the New York Mets into a contender. Fast-forward to 2016, and the A's still have not reached the World Series since 1990, yet they still have the reputation of baseball intellect that has carried them through the lean years as The Ringer's Claire McNear so aptly pointed out earlier this week.
The landscape of Major League Baseball has changed since 2002, with revenue sharing and even a change in ownership in Oakland, yet the A's are still content to act poor to show the world how smart they are. They found themselves as sellers at the trade deadline for the second straight year, which to be fair, is something big budget teams like the Red Sox are more than capable of doing as well, and there are more than a couple of former Oakland A's making meaningful contributions to contenders in 2016. A popular move in the Billy Beane playbook has been to trade away a star player for prospects before he has to pay them like a star. Josh Donaldson being dealt to the Toronto Blue Jays the winter before his 2015 American League MVP season was just the most recent in a long line of stars Oakland fans got attached to even though they knew they should not have. In 2014, they traded Yoenis Cespedes to the Red Sox at the deadline for Jon Lester, who was set to become a free agent at the end of the season. Before them, it was Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson, Barry Zito, Nick Swisher, Johnny Damon and Jason Giambi. In Oakland, there will always be good players, but the front office does not want to invest enough in them for fans to justify investing in that specific star's jersey.
In my opinion, the Lester/Cespedes Trade was the one the A's missed on the most, even more than the Donaldson Trade. As a Red Sox fan, it's not like I'm over the moon about the way that whole situation played out (The Sox had low-balled Lester in contract extension negotiations after he had led them to the 2013 World Series, then traded him and John Lackey away at the deadline with no immediate solution to replace them. They ended up flipping Cespedes that winter to Detroit for Rick Porcello, and while Porcello has been Boston's most consistent pitcher this year, he's no Jon Lester.), the A's gutted the heart of their lineup during a pennant race for a pitcher they were not going to be able to re-sign. Had they stood pat with Cespedes, their rotation was already pretty good with Sonny Gray, Jeff Samardzija, and Scott Kazmir. Maybe they aren't playing in the play-in Wild Card game against Kansas City, and their postseason doesn't end after one game. The failure of the 2014 Jon Lester Era A's ultimately led to Beane blowing up the team with the Donaldson Trade. Sure, Toronto gave up a fan favorite in the form of Brett Lawrie, but like everyone else, Lawrie did not stick in Oakland, while Donaldson has thrived with the Blue Jays. Not only was he the 2015 American League MVP, but he helped end a playoff drought that had been going on since the Jays won the 1993 World Series. If the result of the Lester/Cespedes Trade was a wash, the Donaldson/Lawrie Trade was a clear win for Toronto.
There is something to be said about being on the cutting edge of your industry. There are different metrics to measure success. Is it better to be more popular, or be recognized for doing what you do smarter? Jay Leno consistently had higher ratings, but David Letterman made a bigger cultural impact. Billy Beane and the Oakland A's fancy themselves as Letterman, if Letterman was doing his show in his mom's basement on a cable access channel like Wayne Campbell, when the reality is he's on CBS. Other small market teams have broken through and won the World Series, with the 2015 Kansas City Royals being the most recent example. Other executives have applied analytical practices and won at a high level, perhaps most notably Theo Epstein with the Red Sox and Cubs, and yet a common perception that analytics are synonymous with Beane and the Athletics still persists. Billy Beane does not have a monopoly on smart ideas in baseball, and his teams have not even won an American League Pennant, but he's the one who gets to be played by Brad Pitt in an Oscar-nominated movie. How is that fair?
I subscribe to the idea of critically acclaimed teams. When people look back at the champions in any sport fifty years from now, that will not tell the whole story. The Steve Nash Era Phoenix Suns, for example, never won a title, or even made the NBA Finals, but they were a fun and exciting foil to the Lakers and Spurs of the mid-2000s, and paved the way for a team like the Golden State Warriors of the last two years to exist and thrive. They never won themselves, but they were a game changer. The A's of the early 2000s were a game changer, but they're still clinging onto an identity that made them innovative over a decade ago, but now they're just another team that hasn't won anything while others have.
No baseball fan sheds a tear for Brian Cashman, the GM of the New York Yankees who inherited a team that already had the infrastructure of Joe Torre, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettite, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and Bernie Williams when he got the job in 1998, and kept that train rolling for a solid fifteen years with the benefit of one of the most free-spending ownership groups in all of baseball. Cashman's Yankees were sellers at the deadline for the first time in his tenure, and while it was very strange, he will not get the amount of credit he deserves for the haul he got back for the players he traded away, and the praise for inevitably turning the Yankees around will be muted compared to other teams. On the other side of that coin, nobody should shed a tear for Billy Beane and his predicament in Oakland at this point. He doesn't have the spending power of the Yankees or the Red Sox or the Dodgers, but he likes the position he's in. If he wins, he's a genius. If he loses, he's a genius in a really tough situation. He cannot lose. It's good to be smart, but it's better to win, and if I were a fan of the A's, I'd be tired of the Moneyball routine by now. It never ends, does it?

I've been working in broadcast journalism since 2003, and love meeting new people and telling stories. When I'm not obsessing over breaking news, I'm hiking Yosemite, dancing, cooking, doing yoga, or playing rockabilly drums.
I love drinking beer, especially IPA's, a habit that formed in my hometown, the beer-loving Portland, Oregon, which boasts over 60 breweries.
Food is a major hobby, and I enjoy cooking, eating out, and discovering cheap happy hours.
Overall, I love to have fun!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.
A/N: This was written for my friend Abby because she wanted a drabble and I wanted her to stay on the phone.
Kurt moaned against Blaine's hole, his tongue flicking against the pulsating muscle, reveling in the broken gasps tumbling from his boyfriend's lips.
"Oh god, more," Blaine begged, spreading his knees wider on Kurt's bed, and shoving his hips back to press against Kurt's probing tongue. "Please."
Kurt pulled his tongue away, sliding his hands up the backs of Blaine's naked thighs and over the taut globes of Blaine's ass, staring a little as he pulled the cheeks apart. Blaine rocked back on his knees, pressing his hips higher in the air in a silent invitation and Kurt leaned in, licking a long, wet stripe from Blaine's balls to the small dip of his lower back.
"Fu-uck, Kurt, please, please," Blaine groaned, his voice crackling with need. Kurt smirked, enjoying Blaine's unhinged panting and the way his brows knitted up over his scrunched-closed eyes.
"All good things come to those who," Kurt paused to press a thumb against Blaine's entrance with just enough pressure to make the muscle dip in and leaned over Blaine's back, licking over the shell of his ear, "wait."
"Fuck!" Blaine slammed his hips back, drawing Kurt's thumb in just past the tight outer ring of muscle, nearly collapsing as Kurt's naked erection rubbed hot and hard along his inner thigh, leaving a trail of pre-cum in its wake.
Kurt laughed, nipping at Blaine's shoulder as he shuffled back and extricated his thumb from where Blaine had forced it in. Before Blaine could protest, his tongue had replaced the digit, spearing straight in and fucking into him with a wet pressure that made Blaine's back arch up.
He gave up attempting to hold himself up and settled onto his arms on the bed, stretching his spine to keep his ass as far in the air as he could as Kurt's tongue continued to lick into him, fuck into him.
Holy fucking hell. So close.
Kurt brought a hand up underneath Blaine's thighs to trail lightly over his balls before wrapping around the base of Blaine's erection and managed to pump him half a dozen times before Blaine was spilling over his hand even as he rutted his ass back onto Kurt's tongue. Blaine crumpled to the bed, exhausted and rolled to this back to watch as-
Kurt dropped his hand; still slick with Blaine's cum, to his own erection, fingers twisting over the head. Kurt started down at Blaine, blue eyes, dark with lust, meeting hazel, and before Blaine knew what he was doing, he swatted Kurt's hand away, replacing it with his mouth.
Kurt leaned back against the bed, fighting to stay upright as Blaine's tongue swirled around his dick, licking up his own cum that covered Kurt's cock. Kurt couldn't help the breathless moan that escaped his lips as Blaine sucked hard and took Kurt into his throat, and it was all he could do to not fuck into Blaine's mouth.
"Blaine, oh, Blaine, unh," Kurt panted, biting his lip as his hand slid into Blaine's sweat-curled hair. Kurt's hips pumped up into Blaine's mouth and Blaine's hands wrapped around Kurt's hips, drawing him impossibly farther into his mouth.
Blaine slid a hand under Kurt to press along Kurt's perineum and he was gone, shuddering as he came down Blaine's throat.
Several minutes later, the boys exchanged sticky kisses as hands roamed over silky skin, just reveling in the other's presence.
Kurt's phone buzzed with a new message and he rolled over to grab it.
1 new message
Blaine: I'll be there in 10 :)
Kurt's jaw dropped and he flew off the bed, pulling the sheet with him, leaving "Blaine" naked on the bed.
"Everett!" Kurt shouted. Everett smirked at him.
"Hey babe. Thanks for that. Blaine's really lucky." Everett shuffled off the bed and dropped a kiss to the edge of Kurt's lips, turning away to pull his clothes on.
"Fuck you."
"Please and thank you," Everett called back, winking as he left Kurt naked, but for a sheet, in his room.

Party of One
Having a happy and healthy relationship with your partner is important. Staying in touch and creating long lasting friendships is also crucial. But the most significant relationship in your life that you need to nourish is the one you have with yourself. Although the "loving yourself before you can love another" statement is cheesy, it's entirely true and essential. We spend so much time making others' happy and caring for our partner's and friends' needs. But where do we fit in? When do we get to tend to our emotions and our well-being? After the day is done, sometimes we end up feeling exhausted and empty because we haven't been there for ourselves.
So while you're planning your next date night for you and your mate, how about you plan one for just yourself? You deserve a lovely night for you & you. Start putting effort into making yourself happy and doing the things YOU want to do.
5 Date Ideas for Yourself
Bath + bubbly + book – What do you get when you combine a nice bubble bath, a book and some tasty champagne? A wonderful night in with yourself! There's nothing more relaxing than a bath and reading your favorite book. Add some bubbly to reward yourself. Heck, even add in some candles for a nice ambiance.
Treat yo self – How about you treat yourself to that expensive watch you've always wanted? Or what about that nice jacket you've been eyeing for months? It's about time you buy yourself something nice one of these days. Most of us are spending money and shopping for others. Even if you can't afford to buy yourself expensive gifts, save up some money to buy yourself something pretty.
Dinner and a movie – Dinner and a movie is usually a first date type of thing. So why not first date yourself? Take yourself out to your favorite restaurant and then go see that movie that you couldn't force your bf to see with you. Not brave enough to face the world alone? That's okay! Go see a movie (it's dark in there so no one will see you alone) and then order take out on the drive home.
Spa day – There's nothing that says 'treatyoself' like a spa day. Whether it's getting a manicure and pedicure or booking a massage, you deserve to have a day of relaxation. It's time to relieve yourself of that tension and stress that we build up in our daily lives.
Indulge – Have a day of indulgence. Whether it's a show you've always wanted to watch but too embarrassed (aka Scandal), or a food you've wanted to scarf down for ages – here's your time to shine. Order that double cheese pizza with cheese filled crust and eat as many pieces as you want without those judgy eyes you know your girlfriend will give you. Or listen to that old 90's album on repeat and sing at the top of your lungs. Whatever your indulgence is, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you let loose with yourself.

Coraline, by Neil Gaiman
Coraline, by Neil Gaiman is my third visit to Gaiman's world. I think it might have been my favorite trip. Should you need more of an invitation to read this book than the author's name on the cover check out this blurb:
"This book tells a fascinating and disturbing story that frightened me nearly to death. Unless you want to find yourself hiding under your bed, with your thumb in your mouth, trembling with fear and making terrible noises, I suggest that you step very slowly away from this book and go find another source of amusement, such as investigating an unsolved crime or making a small animal out of yarn." Lemony Snicket
Coraline -not Caroline – Jones and her parents have just moved into a new flat. The flat is really a large old house that has been divided. In the Joneses' section, thirteen of the doors open; one does not. With a large black key, that door sometimes opens to bricks, sometimes to a long dark hallway. Coraline, bored with her life and rather ignored by her parents, ventures down that hallway and finds her other mother and other father waiting for her in a terrible other world. Escaping, she returns to the real flat to discover that her parents are missing. She knows that, even though she's scared, she must go back through the door to save them.
As I mentioned above, this is my third Neil Gaiman book. I read Stardust in July, and The Graveyard Book at the beginning of the month. I can see now why many people compared The Graveyard Book to Coraline. But I have to say that I liked Coraline better. Coraline has a very tight plot. Though it is, in someways, a simpler story, I think the character development was better. I know Coraline better than I know Bod. I liked that Coraline had to face her fears and grow up a little. And it had all of the trappings of a good scary story: there were eccentric characters, disappearing parents, an "other mother" and terrifying scenes with a sentient hand. And by terrifying, I mean TERRIFYING. This is a tight little story that reminded me of Roald Dahl's The Witches. I'll definitely be revisiting this book with my future children – once they're old enough.
I read this book for the R.I.P. Challenge and the Lit Flicks Challenge.
Read my review of the Coraline movie.

Correction Appended
Terrorists tied to Osama bin Laden's network and based in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia are among the likely targets of future covert and overt American actions, United States officials said today.
The officials gave no timetable; they said the campaign against the groups linked to Mr. bin Laden and his group, Al Qaeda, is global and may last for years. But they said that the East Asian groups have expanded their operations in recent years, exchanging money, personnel, materiel and experience with the bin Laden organization and its allies, and that they pose a clear and present danger to American institutions overseas.
''There has been a concerted effort by bin Laden and his people to expand their activities in East Asia, not only in the Philippines but in Malaysia and Indonesia,'' a United States official said. ''The Philippines have become a major operational hub, and it's a serious concern. People linked to bin Laden are not only in Manila but elsewhere in the Philippines.''
The groups have thrived in the political and economic instability in the Philippines, a predominantly Roman Catholic country, and in Indonesia, which is predominantly Muslim; street protests against the airstrikes on Afghanistan took place today outside the American embassies in both countries. In recent years, the fundamentalist groups have gained adherents in the name of a holy war against American institutions and influence, officials said.Continue reading the main story
The United States ambassador to the United Nations, John D. Negroponte, told the Security Council on Monday that the United States, acting in self-defense after the Sept. 11 attacks, may take ''further actions with respect to other organizations and other states.''
Mr. Negroponte, an American ambassador to the Philippines in the 1990's, cited no groups or states by name. But administration officials have said repeatedly that Mr. Bin Laden has adherents and allies all over the world, and that the war against them will range far beyond Afghanistan. East Asia, and particularly the Philippines, officials said, is an area where terrorists who have struck the United States before are known to have planned their attacks.
Militant Islamic groups in East Asia -- chief among them, the Abu Sayyaf group, based in the Philippines -- are high on the list of American counter-terrorism targets to come, officials said today.
Hundreds of Abu Sayyaf fighters are battling the Philippine army on Basilan, an island in the south. The group has taken two American hostages: Martin and Gracia Burnham, missionaries from Wichita, Kan.
The Burnhams were celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary in May, when they and a third American, Guillermo Sobero of Corona, Calif., were kidnapped from a resort on Palawan, a large western island of the Philippine archipelago. Mr. Sobero may be dead, officials said.
The Abu Sayyaf group, which is on the official United States list of terrorist organizations, has obtained millions of dollars in ransom from kidnapping tourists, missionaries and resort workers. Libyan representatives played a role in the release of some hostages for ransom, State Department officials said.
The group has used ransom money to buy weapons and speedboats, to pay recruits and to bribe Philippine soldiers, American officials suspect.
Members of Abu Sayyaf, which says it is fighting for a separate Islamic nation, have links to the bin Laden organization, officials said.
The leader of the group is known as Abdujarak Abubakar Janjalani. He is a Filipino Muslim who has said he fought alongside the Afghan rebels battling the Soviet invaders of Afghanistan during the 1980's.
Al Qaeda's connections in the Philippines include Islamic schools and charities through which millions of dollars have flowed to support the group and its allies across South and East Asia, officials said.
They include the International Islamic Relief Organization office and Al Makdum university in Zamboanga, a city on the island of Mindanao, just north of Basilan island. Mr. bin Laden's brother-in-law, Mohammed Jalal Khalifa, was an administrator at both institutions. Neither is operating any longer, and Mr. Khalifa was arrested by the Saudi government after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Also since the attacks, Philippine intelligence officers have arrested two suspected Abu Sayyaf commanders and several men they described as foreigners carrying bombs. Malaysia has charged the son of a leading opposition politician with plotting to overthrow the government. Indonesia has imprisoned two Malaysians in connection with a series of bombings.
In Indonesia, armed Islamic fundamentalist groups have received money, men and arms from the bin Laden group and its allies, officials said. One group, Laskar Jihad, they said, has been reinforced by Taliban guerrillas. Another, the Islamic Defenders Front, is threatening violence against American officials and organizations.
Some members of Al Qaeda have transited through the international airport at Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, officials said. One of the Sept. 11 hijackers, Khalid Al-Midhar, was videotaped at a terrorist meeting in Kuala Lumpur in January 2000.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo of the Philippines said recently that ''traces of relationship'' exist between the Abu Sayyaf guerrillas and the Sept. 11 attack plotters. She has offered the United States airspace and the use of two large former United States military installations, the Clark Air Base, and the Subic Bay naval base, for transit and staging operations.
The offer was secured in a meeting at Subic Bay two weeks ago between Adm. Thomas Fargo, commander of the Pacific Fleet, and Rolio Golez, the Philippine national security adviser, both 1970 graduates of the United States Naval Academy.
President Bush is scheduled to discuss the counter-terrorism campaign with the presidents of the Philippines and Indonesia and the prime minister of Malaysia in Shanghai on Oct. 19 at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting.
Terrorists aiming to attack the United States have been based in the Philippines for years.
Ramzi Yousef, a convicted ringleader in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, plotted in Manila to blow up 11 jumbo jets headed for the United States. He was arrested in Pakistan at a rooming house financed by Mr. bin Laden. His roommate in Manila, Abdul Hakim Murad, had a commercial pilot license and plotted to crash a jet into the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Virginia.
And Mohammed Saddiq Odeh, convicted in the 1998 bombing of the United States Embassy in Nairobi, was a student in the Philippines when he first came to the bin Laden organization.
Correction: October 12, 2001, Friday A front-page article on Wednesday about the possibility of action by the United States against terrorist groups in the Philippines and Indonesia misidentified the leader of Abu Sayyaf, an organization tied to Osama bin Laden that operates from the Philippines. The leader was believed to be Khaddafi Janjalani. (Abdujarak Abubakar Janjalani was his brother, who founded and headed the group but was reportedly killed in a firefight in the Philippines in 1998.)Continue reading the main story

Now or later? Euro zone, IMF at odds over when Greece should get debt relief
By Jan Strupczewski
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The euro zone and International Monetary are struggling with Greece's debt crisis - not with Athens this time, but with each other over when to give Greece a break on its future massive debt repayments.
The euro zone has begun talks on debt relief for Greece but wants to postpone the final decision until 2018; the IMF insists Greek debt repayment is unsustainable and investors need clarity now.
Euro zone finance ministers are likely to forge a tentative plan when they meet next Tuesday - what in Brussels-speak is known as a political agreement. But their offer is unlikely to be anything but highly conditional, euro zone officials preparing the talks said.
The gist is to find a way to lower Greece's debt-repayment burden without actually cutting the debt itself via a so-called haircut. Instead, Greece's debt would be "re-profiled" - less interest, longer maturities, limits based on growth etc.
On May 9, the ministers asked their deputies to explore such specific measures which could be offered to Greece "if necessary" at the end of the bailout in 2018 if Greece implements all the agreed reforms.
The caveat "if necessary" has appeared in all euro zone statements on Greek debt relief since November 2012, mainly on the insistence of countries led by Germany, which do not believe it is needed at all.
The IMF has no such qualms. "To restore debt sustainability ... decisive action by our European partners to grant further official debt relief will be essential," it has said.
The euro zone, however, has its competing members' views to deal with, which they will attempt to satisfy next week. Even with the "if necessary" phrase still in, officials say Greece and its euro zone lenders could both call it a victory. Continued...

When your Scion tC left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes long-lasting quality in their automobile. Auto enthusiasts know that a sporty attitude is built into each Scion, and understand that only the best replacement tC parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Scion car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their tC around town. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days.
Chassis flex is the enemy of a firm and stable suspension. To ensure your suspension doesn't twist the chassis during turns, Scion tC sway bar links are attached to the stabilizer bar and the control arms. Without stabilizer links or a sway bar, the chassis would lean away from every turn you make. This was first tested on race cars at the beginning of the 20th century, and now sway bar links have made their way to almost every production vehicle manufactured today; including your Scion tC.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Scion tC part for your project or repair. Don't let a broken Sway Bar Link spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts.
