English 1A
Writing: Writing assignments shall give students repeated practice in all phases of the writing process: prewriting, organizing, writing, revising, and editing. This class requires a minimum of 8000 words, at least 4000 of which must be in revised final draft form. Because in-class writing is valued and students should be able to perform well in timed writing situations, at least three essays shall be written in class. English 1A classes require at least three out-of-class essays. How the 8000-word minimum will be met and distributed must be clearly indicated on greensheets.
Throughout the semester, your instructor will give you frequent feedback on your writing, including comments on what is working well and suggestions for how to improve specific features of individual papers.
Reading. Reading for the course will be extensive and intensive. It shall include useful models of writing for academic, general, and special audiences. A dictionary, a rhetoric (or rhetoric/reader), a handbook, and assigned readings are appropriate materials to require.
Tutoring. At the discretion of the university or the instructor, students may be required to attend tutoring sessions as a corequisite to completing the course.
Class size: Enrollment shall normally be limited to 25 students.
Grading: A-F. Completing Area A2 with a grade of C or better (C- not accepted) is a graduation requirement.
Prerequisites: Passage of the English Proficiency Test (EPT), or passage of an approved substitute
course for EPT.
Area A2 courses must be taught in the English language per CSU Executive Order 1065.
Research: In this course, you may learn to use the tools of the SJSU library, including online resources for research, but library research is not a requirement of the course.
Diversity: In English 1A, you will address issues of race, class, and gender as well as the perspectives of women and diverse cultural groups.
English 1B
Diversity: Students will engage in integrated reading, writing, and oral assignments to construct their own arguments on complex issues (such as diversity and ethnicity, class and social equity) that generate meaningful public debate.
Writing: Students will write a series of essays informed by research and articulating fully developed arguments about complex issues. Assignments emphasize those skills and activities in writing and thinking that produce 1) the persuasive argument, and 2) the critical essay, each of which demands analysis, interpretation, and evaluation. Writing assignments give students repeated practice in prewriting, organizing, writing, revising, and editing. This class requires a minimum of 6000 words, at least 4000 of which must be in revised final draft form. Assignments should include timed (or "In class") writing as well as revised writing (out of class). How the 6000-word minimum will be met and distributed must be clearly indicated on the course greensheet.
Students will receive frequent evaluations of their writing from the instructor. In keeping with the core goal of A3—understanding the relationship between language and logic-evaluative comments must be substantive, addressing both the logic of the argument and the quality and form of the writing. Comments should encourage and acknowledge student success as well as note problems and suggest ways to improve.
Writing assignments will be structured to explore the relationship between language and logic in composing arguments, and to develop strategies for incorporating critical thinking skills into the writing process. Instruction in writing will help students to recognize and produce language that:
- conveys complex ideas clearly, logically, persuasively
- states a clear position while taking into account other points of view, integrating both qualification and rebuttal as appropriate
- understands the kinds of argument and the kinds of evidence appropriate to each, and chooses both appropriately
- integrates research logically and ethically: analyzing, interpreting, synthesizing, and documenting information and ideas gleaned from reliable sources
- uses paragraph and essay form to effectively organize complex arguments into clear, readable logical sequences that are both coherent and persuasive
- controls word choice to develop prose that is readable, logical, and persuasive
- controls syntax, grammar, and punctuation to develop prose that is readable, logical, and clear
Oral: Students will also complete oral communication assignments. These assignments might include individual presentations; group presentations; group, team, or dyadic discussions; debates; and similar speaking events. Evaluative comments for these assignments, addressing issues of both content and presentation, must substantively remark on the logic of the argument as well as the presentation's delivery.
Reading: Readings are an integral part of A3 courses. Readings include useful models of writing for academic, general, and specific audiences; readings are used consistently with the course goal of enhancing ability in written communication and reading. The majority of the reading is devoted to analytical, critical, and argumentative texts. Instructors will help students develop and refine strategies for reading challenging, college-level material.
Readings will represent a broad spectrum of opinions and ideas, writing styles, and cultural experiences. Students should be introduced to methods of argument analysis, both rhetorical and logical, that allow them to parse complex arguments and articulate their logical structure. These methods of analysis can include, for instance, stasis theory and Toulmin analysis, truth trees and Venn's diagrams—any method formal and informal that encourages students to assess the validity of an argument and evaluate the relationship of the language to the argument's logic, including:
- distinguish denotation from connotation, abstract from concrete, literal from inferential
- identify logical structures (such as warrants, evidence, qualification, rebuttal; enthymemes and syllogisms) and distinguish common logical fallacies
- recognize and evaluate assumptions underlying an argument
- draw and assess inferences and recognize distinctions among assumptions, facts, inferences and opinions
- distinguish the role of audience and context and purpose in shaping argumentation strategies
- evaluate rhetorical appeals to understand the role of emotion and ethos in relation to logic as part of effective argumentation
Research: Area A3 courses will include a library orientation conducted or approved by a trained librarian, to introduce the library and basic research strategies that students will need to complete upper division coursework, including locating materials, using them effectively (e.g., quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing), and citing them properly. A traditional research paper or a series of short essays informed by library research is required.
Class size: Enrollment shall normally be limited to 25 students.
Grading: A-F. Completing this GE Area with a grade of C or better (C- not accepted) is a graduation requirement.
Prerequisite: GE Areas A1 (Oral Communication) and A2 (Written Communication I, English 1A) with grades of C or better (C- not accepted).
Dropping and Adding
Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drop, grade forgiveness, etc. Refer to the current semester's Catalog Policies section. Add/drop deadlines can be found on the current academic year calendars document on the Academic Calendars webpage. The Late Drop Policy is available. Students should be aware of the current deadlines and penalties for dropping classes.
Information about the latest changes and news is available at the Advising Hub.
Grading Policy
English Department Grading Policies: In English Department courses, instructors will comment on and grade the quality of student writing as well as the quality of ideas being conveyed. All student writing should be distinguished by correct grammar and punctuation, appropriate diction and syntax, and well-organized paragraphs. Grades issued will represent a full range of student performance and will adhere to the following SJSU academic standards of assessment:
The "A" essay will be well organized and well developed, demonstrating a clear understanding and fulfillment of the assignment. It will show the student's ability to use language effectively and construct sentences distinguished by syntactic complexity and variety. Such essays will be essentially free of grammatical, mechanical, and usage errors.
The "B" essay will demonstrate competence in the same categories as the "A" essay. The chief difference is that the "B" essay will show some slight weaknesses in one of those categories. It may slight one of the assigned tasks, show less facility of expression, or contain some minor grammatical, mechanical, or usage flaws.
The "C" essay will complete all tasks set by the assignment, but show weakness in fundamentals (usually development), with barely enough specific information to illustrate the experience or support generalizations. The sentence construction may be less mature, and the use of language less effective and correct than the "B" essay.
The "D" essay will neglect one of the assigned tasks and be noticeably superficial in its treatment of the assignment--that is, too simplistic or short. The essay may reveal some problems in development, with insufficient specific information to illustrate the experience or support generalizations. It will contain grammatical, mechanical, and usage errors that render some sentences incomprehensible.
The "F" essay will demonstrate a striking underdevelopment of ideas and insufficient or unfocused organization. It will contain serious grammatical, mechanical, and usage errors that render some sentences incomprehensible.
The Department of English reaffirms its commitment to the differential grading scale as defined in the SJSU Catalog. Grades issued must represent a full range of student performance: A= excellent; B= above average; C= average; D= below average; F= failure.
University Policies
Consent for Recording of Class and Public Sharing of Instructor Material
University Policy S12-7, http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S12-7.pdf, requires students to obtain instructor's permission to record the course.
"Common courtesy and professional behavior dictate that you notify someone when you are recording him/her. You must obtain the instructor's permission to make audio or video recordings in this class. Such permission allows the recordings to be used for your private, study purposes only. The recordings are the intellectual property of the instructor; you have not been given any rights to reproduce or distribute the material."
- It is suggested that the greensheet include the instructor's process for granting permission, whether in writing or orally and whether for the whole semester or on a class by class basis.
- In classes where active participation of students or guests may be on the recording, permission of those students or guests should be obtained as well.
- "Course material developed by the instructor is the intellectual property of the instructor and cannot be shared publicly without his/her approval. You may not publicly share or upload instructor generated material for this course such as exam questions, lecture notes, or homework solutions without instructor consent."
Academic integrity
Your commitment as a student to learning is evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University. The University Academic Integrity Policy S07-2 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S07-2.pdf requires you to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The Student Conduct and Ethical Development website is available at http://www.sjsu.edu/studentconduct/.
Campus Policy in Compliance with the American Disabilities Act
If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need to make special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 at http://www.sjsu.edu/president/docs/directives/PD_1997-03.pdf requires that students with disabilities requesting accommodations must register with the Accessible Education Center (AEC) at http://www.sjsu.edu/aec to establish a record of their disability.
In 2013, the Disability Resource Center changed its name to be known as the Accessible Education Center, to incorporate a philosophy of accessible education for students with disabilities. The new name change reflects the broad scope of attention and support to SJSU students with disabilities and the University's continued advocacy and commitment to increasing accessibility and inclusivity on campus.
Estimation of Per-Unit Student Workload
Academic Policy S12-3 has defined expected student workload as follows:
Success in this course is based on the expectation that students will spend, for each
unit of credit, a minimum of forty-five hours over the length of the course (normally
3 hours per unit per week with 1 of the hours used for lecture) for instruction or
preparation/ studying or course related activities including but not limited to internships,
labs, clinical practica. Other course structures will have equivalent workload expectations
as described in the syllabus.
Student Technology Resources

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in extra genetic material from chromosome 21. This genetic disorder, which varies in severity, causes lifelong intellectual disability and developmental delays, and in some people it causes health problems.
Down syndrome is the most common genetic chromosomal disorder and cause of learning disabilities in children.
Better understanding of Down syndrome and early interventions can greatly increase the quality of life for children and adults with this disorder and help them live fulfilling lives.
Each person with Down syndrome is an individual — intellectual and developmental problems range from mild to moderate, and some people are healthy while others have severe health problems such as serious heart defects.
Children with Down syndrome have a distinct facial appearance. Though not all children with Down syndrome have the same features, some of the more common features are:
Infants with Down syndrome may be average size, but typically they grow slowly and remain shorter than other children the same age. In general, developmental milestones, such as sitting and crawling, occur at about twice the age of children without impairment.
Human cells normally contain 23 pairs of chromosomes. One chromosome in each pair comes from your father, the other from your mother.
Down syndrome results when abnormal cell division involving chromosome 21 occurs. These cell division abnormalities result in extra genetic material from chromosome 21, which is responsible for the characteristic features and developmental problems of Down syndrome. Any one of three genetic variations can cause Down syndrome:
There are no known behavioral or environmental factors that cause Down syndrome.
Most of the time, Down syndrome isn't inherited. It's caused by a mistake in cell division during the development of the egg, sperm or embryo.
Translocation Down syndrome is the only form of the disorder that can be passed from parent to child. However, only about 4 percent of children with Down syndrome have translocation. And only about one-third of these children inherited it from one of their parents.
When translocations are inherited, the mother or father has some rearranged genetic material, but no extra genetic material — this means he or she is a balanced carrier. A balanced carrier has no signs or symptoms of Down syndrome, but he or she can pass the translocation on to children, causing extra genetic material from chromosome 21.
The chance of passing on the translocation depends on the sex of the parent who carries the rearranged chromosome 21:
Some parents have a greater risk of having a baby with Down syndrome. Risk factors include:
Children with Down syndrome can have a variety of complications, some of which become more prominent as they get older, such as:
Life spans have increased dramatically for people with Down syndrome. In 1910, a baby born with Down syndrome often didn't live to age 10. Today, someone with Down syndrome can expect to live to age 60 and beyond, depending on the severity of health problems.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends offering the option of screening tests and diagnostic tests for Down syndrome to all pregnant women, regardless of age.
Your health care provider can discuss the types of tests, advantages and disadvantages, benefits and risks, and the meaning of your results. If appropriate, your provider may recommend that you talk to a genetics counselor.
Screening for Down syndrome is offered as a routine part of prenatal care. Although screening tests aren't perfect, they can help you make decisions about more-specific diagnostic tests and the course of the pregnancy.
Various screening tests can help identify whether you have a high risk of carrying a baby with Down syndrome, but they can't identify whether your baby has Down syndrome. Screening tests include the first trimester combined test, the integrated screening test and the cell-free fetal DNA analysis.
The first trimester combined test, which is done in two steps, includes:
Using your age and the results of the blood test and the ultrasound, your health care provider can estimate your risk of having a baby with Down syndrome.
The integrated screening test is done in two parts during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. The results are combined to estimate the risk that your baby has Down syndrome. This test can achieve the same level of detection as the first trimester combined test but with a lower false-positive rate, meaning that fewer women are incorrectly identified as carrying a baby with Down syndrome.
The cell-free fetal DNA test checks for fetal DNA circulating in the mother's blood. This test is usually recommended for women who have a higher risk of having a baby with Down syndrome or in response to risk detected by one of the previous tests. The mother's blood can be tested during pregnancy after 10 weeks gestation.
This test appears to be much more specific than other screening methods for Down syndrome. If this screening test indicates a high risk of Down syndrome, a more invasive diagnostic test may be used to determine whether your baby actually has Down syndrome.
If your screening test results are positive or worrisome, or you're at high risk of having a baby with Down syndrome, you might consider more testing to confirm the diagnosis. Your health care provider can help you weigh the pros and cons of these tests.
Diagnostic tests that can identify Down syndrome include:
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is one option available for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization who are at increased risk of passing along certain genetic conditions. The embryo is tested for genetic abnormalities before it's implanted in the womb.
After birth, the initial diagnosis of Down syndrome is often based on the baby's appearance. But the features associated with Down syndrome can be found in babies without Down syndrome, so your health care provider will likely order a test called a chromosomal karyotype. Using a sample of blood, this test analyzes your child's chromosomes. If there's an extra chromosome 21 present in all or some cells, the diagnosis is Down syndrome.
Early intervention for infants and children with Down syndrome can make a major difference in realizing their potential abilities and in their quality of life.
Ask your health care provider about early intervention programs in your area. Available in most states, these special programs offer children with Down syndrome stimulation at an early age with appropriate sensory, motor and cognitive activities.
Programs may vary, but they usually involve therapists and special educators whose goal is to help your baby develop motor skills, language, social skills and self-help skills.
If your child has Down syndrome, you'll likely rely on a team of specialists that, depending on your child's particular needs, will provide your child's medical care and help him or her develop skills as fully as possible. Your team may include some of these experts:
When you learn your child has Down syndrome, you may experience a range of emotions, including anger, fear, worry, sorrow and guilt. You may not know what to expect, and you may worry about your ability to care for a baby with a disability. The best antidote for fear and worry is information and support.
Consider these steps to prepare yourself and to care for your child:
There's no way to prevent Down syndrome. If you're at high risk of having a child with Down syndrome or you already have one child with Down syndrome, you may want to consult a genetic counselor before becoming pregnant.
A genetic counselor can help you understand your chances of having a child with Down syndrome. He or she can also explain the prenatal tests that are available and help explain the pros and cons of testing.

and two cold cases in the trunk...... :-D
My first car was a 1970 Dodge Super Bee. The second,also a 70 Superbee. Third 68 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 383 engine that i equipped with a 2-4barrel carb setup and a4:30 geared rear with low profile tires. My favorite was when I put the 383 dual quad in My 78 Powerwagon with a 3800 rpm stall torque convertor. People were told back then if they wanted to know if their car was fast, come line it up with my truck. Those were the good days. Wish I had that to do over again.This is the body style of my first car,but mine was a lime green with a black vinyl top.Pistol grip shifted four speed to be sure!!

Internet Evolution
The Following Investment Opinion Initially Appeared in the February 10th Evening News
$1 for 90 Cents.
Sounds Great!
By Louis Corrigan (TMF Seymor)
Online business models have been under attack for a while. Every card-carrying curmudgeon has felt compelled to mock the major e-commerce players for sporting apparently lofty stock market valuations while still bleeding losses. Sure, they say, the revenue growth is impressive; Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) will soon be booking a billion bucks a year in sales. Yet, it's easy to grow revenue if you're selling stuff below cost. Then comes the yack-yack dismissive line, "Oh, but I guess they plan to make it up on volume," as if this old saw is such a hands-down truism that it sums up all the thinking one needs to do on the subject. I'm not exaggerating, either. As the "venerable" British weekly The Economist put it recently, "Amazon could yet become a $10 billion business with the profits of a corner shop."
Maybe so. But while the Web is still in a state of flux regarding which business models will ultimately work best, it is worth highlighting the fact that even supposedly freakish models aren't as ugly or bizarre as commentators seem to think. In fact, they're downright old-fashion if you get beyond the Web-worthy bells and whistles. Let's consider The Economist's ultimate putdown of the future of e-commerce: "Is it too implausible to imagine Dollar.com -- a company that sells dollar bills for 90 cents and makes money from advertising?"
Actually, no. Neither is that a necessarily stupid idea. In fact, that pretty much describes The Economist's own business model. Another way of saying you want to sell dollar bills at a discount, of course, is to say that you want to offer an attractive product to customers for less than it costs you to produce. And that's what most content providers do today. Subscriptions for magazines and newspapers typically cover just a fraction of the cost of paying writers, editors, and other personnel; maintaining office facilities; buying paper and ink; and distributing the product. Advertising pays for the vast majority of these expenses. No ads, no profits, no business. Period.
Indeed, many local newsweeklies made the rational business decision long ago that they can make more money giving their product away. That's because ad rates are based on circulation ("eyeballs" in Webspeak), and a free product usually attracts a larger circulation. The same is generally true of the television networks. Think about it. Everyday, your television carries hours upon hours of entertainment and news content -- for free. Sure, there's cable, which many of us can't live without. But over a quarter of American viewers watch good old free TV. These viewers have made an implicit deal with the networks and their local affiliates: Give us something worth watching, and we'll more or less let you assault us with advertising for 14 minutes every hour. Radio works with the same business model.
The Fool offers some for-pay items, like our excellent Industry Focus, which highlights 20 leading industries and 20 top investment ideas. But we've generally embraced this old-fashioned advertising-supported business model. And if you're reading this, so have you. In fact, you just sat through my ad for the Industry Focus. Now, back to the exciting conclusion to today's Fool on the Hill...
All of this would seem pretty elementary except that the Web has a way of confounding our perceptions even as it ought to be sharpening them. Trading the proverbial $1 for a customer's 90 cents -- or, maybe nothing but some required ad viewing -- may prove just as powerful with the Web as it has with other entertainment technologies.
Consider the offer made by Free PC, a California startup led by the venture capital firm Idealab. As the name suggests, Free PC will give away personal computers, beginning with 10,000 Compaq (NYSE: CPQ) Presarios with a 333MHz processor, 32MB of RAM, a 33.6kpm modem, Windows 98, CD-ROM and floppy drives, a 15-inch monitor, and a 4-gigabyte hard drive. Idealab's ultimate goal, assuming all goes as planned, is to give away millions of PCs. Interested? Go to www.free-pc.com and register by answering a list of questions. If you meet certain demographically attractive requirements, then you'll qualify. The main catch is that you must agree to be bombarded with ads (apparently for at least two years) every time you've got your PC on, whether you're online or not. About 2 gigabytes of the PC's hard drive will be reserved for storing ads (which will be updated each time you go online) and certain data gathered by Idealab.
The company's business model is based on the notion that your eyeballs are worth more than the $600 price of the PC. It's actually just a savvy twist on the patented concept launched long ago by Idealab's business partner Cybergold (www.cybergold.com). This California company works up deals in which advertisers pay consumers for reading their ads. More recently, Cybergold has attained a business-method patent for the concept of a product that would store a consumer's demographic info (income, hobbies, and so on) and allow consumers to be compensated for giving this data to advertisers. This, too, sounds novel, but it's really little different than getting paid to answer a marketing survey.
Still, these developments suggest the obvious: Soap operas are designed to sell soap. If you can get customers to either sit through your ads or divulge information about themselves, then giving away financial commentary, entertainment programming, or even cash may make plenty of sense. The real value in this nexus may be your customer's time and personalized data. The Free PC initiative, however, reveals precisely how far e-commerce may go along these lines. It may end up being smart to give away merchandise (books, PCs, you name it) at or even below cost if you can make up the difference and salvage some profits on the ad front.
In light of Free PC, then, the move by online auction firm Onsale (Nasdaq: ONSL) that left The Economist in a tizzy may actually prove relatively conservative. In mid-January, Onsale (www.onsale.com) launched atCost, an e-commerce site that allows consumers and small businesses to buy any of some 35,000 PC-related items at wholesale prices. Customers also pay a fixed premium of $10 or less per item plus the costs of shipping, handling, and credit-card processing. As the company's press release reads, "This shift is reminiscent of the changes online brokerage firms brought to the securities industry with low- and fixed-price charges per transaction."
Of course, Onsale will supplement this modest markup with high-margin ad revenues. As company CEO Jerry Kaplan has said, the goal is to generate gross margins from atCost in the 7% to 9% range. While that's below Onsale's overall gross margin target of 9.7%, it could really help the bottom line since "the company expects only an incremental increase in related operating expenses" from this initiative since Onsale's already got the basic infrastructure in place. Assuming an efficient enough distribution operation, of course, it's not hard to imagine a world where e-commerce in general operates on even more of a magazine or newspaper model. Consumers may be asked to cover just a tad of an etailer's expenses, with profits coming all from advertising. In that world, volume -- or better said, eyeballs -- will mean everything.
Next -- Onsale & the Future of E-Commerce

Medicare covers part of your prescription drug costs and you pay the rest. How much you pay depends on your drug plan. In addition, as of Jan. 1, 2011, what you pay for Part D may vary based on your income. For more information, read the booklet "Things to Think About When You Compare Medicare Drug Coverage."
Most drug plans charge a monthly premium that varies by plan. You pay this in addition to the Part B premium. If you have limited income and resources, you may get extra help to cover prescription drugs for little or no cost. Information on Extra Help and the Low-Income Subsidy can be found here.
You can also call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 to apply by phone or to get a paper application. TTY users should call 800-325-0778.
Your costs will vary depending on which drugs you use, which Medicare drug plan you choose, and whether you get extra help paying your Part D costs. Having a variety of plans to choose from gives you
the chance to pick a plan that meets your unique needs. Choosing a plan that fits your situation allows you to get the coverage you want at the best price possible.
If you belong to a Medicare Advantage plan (like an HMO or PPO) or a Medicare Cost plan that offers Medicare prescription drug coverage, the monthly premium you pay to the plan includes an amount for prescription drug coverage.
To find the actual costs of the Medicare drug and health plans in your area, click here. To compare various plans, click here.
You can find answers to many questions by visiting the Medicare website, or by calling 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). TTY users should call 877-486-2048. To speed up your service, have your Medicare number available when you call.

Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Chapman has battled periods of wildness in his Reds career.
Dusty said on the pregame show they are trying to pitch Cutch inside.
It wasn't intentional according to Dusty, and I believe him.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
Also, will it make everyone feel better if we now call Jared Hughes a thug for his shove? Cuz that was by definition thug-ish.
I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.
Chapman stopped going from the windup at one point un the game, so he was definitely uncomfortable with something.

Ok, I've been silent on the matter long enough. there is no "o" in McCutchen's last name.
It's a pretty rampant mistake on this board. If we're going to be the better, smarter, higher-road team, we should at least spell correctly
I hate that he's showing so poorly and inciting hate with this series. He's traditionally anything but a thug in any sense of the word -- stand-up, even-tempered, a leader, all-around good guy. Never shown any predilection toward anger or violence whatsoever that I can remember. And a helluva ballplayer. He's young and he's bearing the brunt of the pressure on that team and he's never dealt with anything like this before, and he's not handling it well, which is a mistake a lot of young people make. I hope he doesn't have people turn against him forever.
On the other hand, a lot of other guys in his situation might have been a lot more hot-headed. He did let it get to him on the field though.

There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

Coincidence? I think not. Just kidding VP. It drives me nuts too.
It's true. I can't play ball so I have to plunk the moniker transgressions.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
So, this happened:

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
So, is McCutche(o)n the league MVP?

Jk, but guess you're right, RamyB's other entry looks better. And Seki's shirt looks awesome. And you know why they stand out? Because they aren't true steampunk style. Thats a good thing trust me.
Okay, I have no interest in railing against anyone on this site, but explain to me how
1.) NOT adhering to the style of the derby is supposed to be a positive, and
2.) how NOT adhering to steampunk style is a GOOD thing in a derby specifically designed around that very theme, especially when there are actually people who *GASP* LIKE steampunk style.
I *love* this shirt.
I mean, like, f5ing rapidly at midnight CST to get first sucker on this shirt because I don't want to risk it selling out love.
Got my vote, have my definite in for one.
Thank you to everyone for the kind words!
Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of a computer problem at the moment, so I'm posting from a friend's computer to let everyone know that I may not have any more submissions this week. I'm disappointed about this, obviously, but I thank everyone for their support, and I hope I can get this fixed soon.
lauraunc wrote:Yeah! Bigger, so it's not just on the left boob, and keep the bright pink on asphalt- that's one of the coolest color combo's i've seen recently.
Thanks for the feedback, i'll keep all that in mind
So it's going to be... center placement, similar colors
But i'm also thinking of changing the shirt color to black and i'm adding on a lot more to the design
Re: McSteamy Banana
Looks pretty cool... but is this really 6 colors?

Twice now, and his girlfriend is moving up the ranks to join them.
Because, you know, he needs the prints.
isparabola wrote:I think the reason yellow/gold was chosen was to make it stand out a bit more. A darker color would blend in too much with the rest of the shirt.
t'would be cool if it were printed with a SMALL selected areas in gold/bronze foil... i.e. the flat ink could be the "grunge" areas while the "worn" areas would have some foil to make them look as if they've been polished by excessive handling.
me likey! gmv
re: steamless by the stroke of midnight
Wow...neat, original idea & beautifully executed!
I love this! The penguin's attitude with his wings on his hips makes it. Excellent job!
Re: Gamepunk
why can it not be "pulled off?" is it the black lines? too thin?
dude, rework/resub it... it's awesome... and add one item... a second cartridge off to the side.
It's peanut butter jelly time! XD

A bit of constructive criticism:
I LOVE your style SO much (the sketchiness, the interesting color palettes)
You always tell a great story (this girl is cool, I'd love to read about her, lol)
Issues: The design lacks focus for me. (I think last week's entry did too) I feel like you filled it up with stuff that all looks cool, but it's hard to notice HOW cool, because it's in a neat little box.
Wooter (and generally I) don't like boxy designs.
I generally don't leave advice/critiques, but I REALLY love your style, and want to buy one of your shirts someday!
(P.S. I've commented on some of your previous entries, but that was with my old username)
Keep it up! You'll place in no time
MaryESP wrote:snip!
I think part of the lack of focus may be because the room has no floor... a light floor in an unusual shape (possibly with shadows) could have helped emphasize certain things.

I sort of comprehend the lack of focus issue... I don't totally follow the "boxy" mention.
edit: cancel that... I think I get it.
It's an illutrators glitch. I've been doing splash and marketing illustrations for so long that I've trained myself to instinctively use the entire space to control different aspects.
I suppose I have to try to let that go next time.
Re: Synthetic Beauty
Beautiful :D first shirt I felt worth voting for!
wow. I have been gone for quite a while, and come back with anticipation and excitement for a steam punk derby...and the fog is this? I wasn't going to say something but after looking over the entries I feel compelled to.
I am sorry Raymb, but this is wrong on several levels.
1) the robot screams iron giant. the face, the expression, the hands, everything but the color.
2) a anime dog? in steam punk design? you said it yourself, you included it as the thumbnail to make people click to see what the heck a cute dog was doing in an steampunk design. that should be the first clue that it doesn't fit the theme.
3) the description and link to the wiki entry is clear on what steampunk is. how is this steampunk and not just anime? I feel like I have seen this cartoon before. steampunk is about invention and innovation and taking 19th century technology and running with it. this accomplishes none of it. and the composition is also very much like your grim optimism shirt.
the textures on the robot are well done. but they also conflict massively with the dog. overall I am just so disappointed that this is what makes it into the fog for a steampunk contest. gah.
what color shirt is this on? it looks like it might have difficulty printing clearly depending on the shirt color.
Re: steamless by the stroke of midnight
this somehow reminds me of ms. havisham from 'great expectations'

March 13th, 2011 JST In March 12th, Aichi Prefecture Figure Skating Championship (domestic local competition) was held in Nihon Gaishi Plaza in Nagoya City and Kanako Murakami (16, Chukyo University Chukyo High School) who became Japan Representative for Worlds for the first time took the lead with 63.75 points in SP. She appeared with the snow white costume which she made for the Asian Winter Games (at Kazakstan) in February. While having an adult atmosphere, she showed a stable jump and completed the acting with no mistake. Kanako's stability increased than before. Containing the two consecutive triple jumps of the beginning, there was not the big mistake in her acting. Aiming at the Worlds which get near at hand, she participates to the competition aggressively by the policy of Machiko Yamada coach who would like to have Kanako have plenty experience. She digests her 9th real competition in this season. She did not participate to the Chubu Japan Championship (domestic local competition) in February because of the common cold. Kanako whose weight fell by 2 kg thought back, saying "my skating was not powerful", but said "Don't worry because the muscular strength has been back to normal" with smiling. She worried about the 2011 Japan North East Region Pacific Coast Offshore Earthquake and said, "I think that many persons are in much difficulty, but I would like to do that if there was something which I can support".

"I'm extremely happy with the final product and the service Tiny Prints provided. My cards arrived extremely quickly and I love them!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Loved my daughters 1st bday invites. The designs provided were excellent. I appreciated the sophisticated yet whimsical choices. As always, the print & paper quality was top of the line. Lastly, love that you provide a designer review! We will not shop anywhere else."
"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."

Decision on Mayor's Appointments Could Come Within Weeks
FREDERICK, MD - How long should someone appointed by the mayor be able to serve in a temporary position before it becomes permanent?
That's the question the Frederick Board of Alderman and mayor are considering.
Life is busy for Frederick Mayor Randy McClement. He has to appoint an acting executive assistant and interim police chief. Now, the board of alderman wants McClement to have a time limit on how long it takes temporary positions to become permanent.
"The consequence of not addressing that could be that all of the positions required by the charter to have aldermanic approval could have an acting individual for four years," said Karen Young, (D), Frederick alderman.
"The last time the charter was updated in a complete overall was 1954, so there's a lot of things that changed in that time," says McClement (R). "When we discussed that, there was a complete 100 percent consensus, myself and the aldermen, that we needed to look at that level."
The mayor and board of aldermen think they're taking a step in the right direction. The mayor has called for a closed session next Monday on an appointment.
"I think over the next couple of days you will see a creative solution come forward that will allow us to address both the current situation and address the charter change in a more comprehensive manner," says Young.
McClement says the decision will affect how the city operates from here on out.
"It isn't about the current incident right now. It's about the way it should work for the next 50 years," says McClement.
The decision is expected to come within the next few weeks. The mayor and board of aldermen would like your input on changing their charter.
You can contact Mayor Randy McClement at email@example.com or the Frederick Board of Aldermen at email@example.com.

I'm just thinking simple but you might have a better idea already.
But why not just turn the bolt & trunnion upside down like the AK47 design? Your thinking of taking off the recoil spring part off the top so that will be facing down now.
I'd think the hardest parts would be setting up the side mounted recoil springs and hammer?

With Jan. 10 marking National Cut Your Energy Costs Day, take a look at some simple and relatively cheap ways you can save up to hundreds of dollars as your heating bills roll in this year. [ + - ]
Use curtains -- Open curtains and shades on south-facing windows during the day and close them at night to help slow the escape of the heat. [ + - ]
Block drafts -- According to the U.S. Department of Energy, drafts can waste 5 to 30 percent of a home's energy use. Check for drafts around windows, doors and any areas with holes or gaps such as attics and basements, then install door sweeps and use weatherproof caulking and weather-stripping to contain them. [ + - ]
Use fans wisely -- A hard-working bathroom or kitchen fan can expel a houseful of warm air in just one hour, according to the Department of Energy. Turn them off as soon as they have done their job. [ + - ]
Keep the fireplace damper closed -- Heat rises, and an open damper is like a hole in the roof. Also, limit your use of the fireplace, since fires actually suck heat from a room. [ + - ]
Swaddle water pipes and heaters -- Covering your water heater with an insulated "jacket" will keep costs down, especially if your heater is in an unheated place like a garage. Also, wrap water pipes when possible, especially when they run through uninsulated areas. [ + - ]
Insulate your home -- Air sealing your home and adding insulation in attics, floors over crawl spaces and accessible basement rim joists can save you up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs. [ + - ]
Service your furnace -- Schedule a professional furnace inspection and service appointment. This will include filter replacements, motor and fan cleaning and an inspection to check that the blower and gas piping are fully functioning. [ + - ]
Buy a low-flow shower head -- A water-efficient shower head uses between 25 percent to 50 percent less hot water, saving both on water and power bills. [ + - ]
Turn down your thermostat -- You can expect to save about 3 percent on your heating bill for every degree that you set back your thermostat full time, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. Turn it down 10 degrees when you're at work and in bed and you can save 14 percent. [ + - ]
Use a programmable thermostat -- Programmable thermostats offer the ability to regulate your home's temperature according to the time of day or day of the week. By programming lower temperatures during the day while the house is empty, heating costs can be drastically reduced without compromising comfort. [ + - ]
Keep heating vents clear -- Vents blocked by rugs and furniture can prevent heat from circulating efficiently. [ + - ]
Turn down the water heater -- Lowering the temperature of water in the water heater to 115 to 120 degrees cuts power use -- often without a noticeable difference to the homeowner. [ + - ]


text: I've been looking at pictures of AR uppers and lowers. Now I'm wondering where the recoil is transferred from the upper to the stock. Is there supposed to be firm contact across the top half of the threaded buffer tube tower, or is the load taken across the lug of the rear takedown pin?

A cute alternative, particularly with a small group of kids like a preschool class, might be to make your own playdoh. It's simple to do, your kids can help, and it's inexpensive.
You'll need:
2 cups flour
2 cups water
1 cup salt
2 tbsp. oil
4 tsp. cream of tartar
Red food coloring
1. Combine flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a large saucepan.
2. Gradually stir in water mixed with oil and food coloring (I used about 1/4 tsp. red)
3. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until a ball forms. When it feels like your arm is going to fall off, you are almost there! It can be a little hard to stir at the end.
4. Remove from heat. This is the part where the kids will enjoy helping - have them knead the dough for 5 minutes. It's smooth and warm - so much fun!
5. Package in cute containers. This recipe makes enough for 10 small servings.

text: I think it was me who suggested the Apex DCAEK for your M&P. I bought a new M&P 45 with the 4" barrel last November and the gun's trigger was too heavy out of the box in my opinion. And, of course, it had the usual M&P gritty pre-travel as well. So an armorer who works at the shop installed the DCAEK and when I got home, I measured the trigger weight to find that it was at 6.5 pounds. Still a little too heavy for my likes and after doing some dry firing and thinking about it. I removed the DCAEK trigger spring and re-installed the factory OEM spring. This took the trigger pull weight down to around 4 pounds 14 ounces and with the nice clean break, this works for me just fine.

Gourmet Super Bowl Cooking: Dr. Pepper Glazed Ribs
As the Metroplex prepares to host Super Bowl XLV, gourmet chef Brian Olenjack, whose restaurant is not far from Cowboys Stadium, is showing you how to cook up some delicious gameday meals that your friends and family will love.
Today, Chef Olendorf teaches Tobin McDuff how to make Dr. Pepper Glazed Baby Back Ribs.
2 racks Pork Baby Back Ribs
1 cup Light Brown Sugar
4 Tbsp Ancho Chile Powder
4 tsp Ground Cumin
2 tsp Paprika
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place all the dry ingredients in to a bowl and mix, rub the ribs all over with the mixture. Put the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan and slow-roast until they are almost tender, about 2 hours.
Cook until the meat pulls easily from the bone (about 1/4-inch of bone will show).
Remove the ribs from the oven and lay them on a cutting board, meaty side down. Using a knife scrap the silver skin off the back. Cut into portions and serve.
Dr Pepper Glaze
3 cups Dr Pepper
1/2 cup Orange Juice, fresh
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Brown Sugar, dark
cup Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tbsp Garlic minced
1 Tbsp Red Chile Flake
2 tsp Cumin, ground
1 tsp Kosher Salt
Place all the ingredients into a large pan and place on a burner with a medium high flame.
Bring to a simmer and lower the temperature to low heat. Continue cooking for about 20 minutes or until the mixture is syrupy.
Brush the ribs with the glaze.
Tomorrow, Chef Olendorf will teach you how to make Grilled Lamb Chops with Honey Peppercorn Demi.

Think perennials, trees and shrubs for years of foliage
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | September 16. 2013 9:48PM
Mainstays of a New Hampshire autumn landscape, sugar maples and "October Glory" maples bring rainbows of reds and oranges, but there are less common trees like sweet gum, and the "Full Moon" Japanese maple that really brighten things up, said Grondin.
The "Full Moon" Japanese maple offers a gradual change as autumn arrives, morphing from a brilliant lime green to golden yellow and eventually to a "fiery, orangy-red," said Grondin.
Mixing in perennials and some unusual annuals can also make the passing of summer seem not so sad, and there are lots of options, according to Crista Salamy, owner of Tenney Farm in Antrim.
And when the flowers fade, Salamy said, the texture of a variety of grasses can fill in the empty spots.
Manchester and the surrounding area falls into zones 5 and 6, while northern areas and higher elevations, including the Monadnock Region, need zones 3 and 4, she said.

When I have to feed I use cane sugar.
You use cane sugar? I have heard that it is not good because it has too many solids in it. I would much rather use cane sugar than refined sugar.
Could you tap your own maple trees and drain the syrup out of them and then boil it down almost to the consistancy of syrup but not quit.
I have to confess I had my tongue in my cheek when I even suggested maple syrup. :-D
:roll: Maple syrup indeed :roll:

Nebraska Governor Signs Law to Increase Hunter Recruitment
(Lincoln, NE) - A Families Afield bill that will help to ensure the future of our hunting heritage has been signed into law by Governor Dave Heineman.
The measure, LB 690 introduced by Sen. Deb Fischer, I-Valentine, creates an apprentice hunter education exemption certificate allowing experienced hunters the ability to take a newcomer hunting before the completion of a hunter education course. The bill also lowers the deer hunting age for mentored youth from 12 to 10.
"This law opens the door for the next generation of hunters in Nebraska," said Governor Heineman. "It is critical to the future of conservation and Nebraska's great hunting heritage."
The Families Afield campaign was established by the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, National Shooting Sports Foundation, and National Wild Turkey Federation in 2004 to urge states to eliminate unnecessary hunting age restrictions and ease hunter education mandates for first-time hunters.
"Nebraska continues to show a strong commitment to the next generation of hunters," said Bud Pidgeon, USSA president. "The Families Afield initiative allows tomorrow's hunters to take to the field today while safely experiencing and enjoying our outdoors
The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, National Shooting Sports Foundation, and the National Wild Turkey Federation worked with the National Rifle Association and local sportsmen's organizations, to ensure the passage of LB 690.
"The NWTF's grassroots network of volunteers in Nebraska should be commended for their work in the passage of this legislation," said Rob Keck, NWTF CEO. "Their dedication to creating opportunities for new hunters has paid off."
Lawmakers in Indiana, Virginia, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Arizona and Oklahoma are also considering Families Afield style legislation this year. Available data from states that have implemented Families Afield initiatives reveals that apprentice hunting license programs brought over 34,000 new hunters, both children and adults, to the field.
"Ultimately parents know far better than the government when their sons and daughters are ready to begin hunting," said Chris Dolnack, Senior Vice President of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. "This new law gives families the tools to successfully
pass our hunting heritage to the next generation."
The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance is a national association of sportsmen and sportsmen's organization that protects the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers in the courts, legislatures, at the ballot, in Congress and through public education programs.
For more information about the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and its work, call (614) 888-4868 or visit its website, ww.ussportsmen.org.

Impressive. Does the shinny effect get spoiled when you touch it?
There is a thread about it also in the RPF.com http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=86273
Excellent metal effect!! . . . and good sculpting work too! 8^D
Excellent! But it might be helpful to sand before painting with some micro-mark polishing pads. glass-smooth plastic/vinyl/resin = glass-smooth paint, essential for metallics. Alcald II also works great. But that is a superb model! thanks for sharing!

Fetzer Field serves as the long-time home of the Tar Heels' men's and women's soccer and lacrosse programs, as well as the Carolina track and field teams.
Named for former UNC athletic director and track coach Bob Fetzer, Fetzer Field has been the home of Carolina track and field since the facility was constructed in 1935. It has been the home of men's soccer since 1947 and men's lacrosse since 1949. The women's soccer program was started in 1979 and the women's lacrosse program in 1996. All those sports call Fetzer Field home for their regular-season and post-season tournament games and all four sports are annually ranked among the Top 10 teams in the nation in their respective sports.
A Fetzer Field record crowd of 7,212 at the time the most to ever see a women's collegiate soccer game watched the No. 1 Tar Heels fall to No. 4 Notre Dame 1-0 in the 1995 NCAA semifinals.
Located in the heart of the Carolina campus directly adjacent to Carmichael Auditorium on South Road, also referred to as Raleigh Road, the playing field, track and grandstand was completed in 1935 as a Works Project Administration program during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the heart of the Great Depression, the building of Fetzer Field provided much needed jobs to Tar Heel natives who were suffering through economic depravation.
The facility's renovations over the years have made it one of the most beautiful all-around collegiate venues in the nation. Fetzer Field sits in a natural valley in the center of campus surrounded by Carmichael Arena, the Michael Hooker intramural fields, the Institute of Government, the Eddie Smith Field House, Henry Stadium, the Navy Field football and lacrosse practice fields, Teague and Carmichael dormitories and Kessing Outdoor Pool.
Beginning in 1988 and continuing over a period of two years, the playing field itself was reworked and leveled, the grandstand was refitted with new aluminum bleachers, a new track was installed, lights were added, two ticket booths were added to the front gate, a permanent concession stand was erected and a computer scoreboard/message center was installed. In 2011, a locker room facility was added under the field's stands.
The facility has been home not only to women's and men's soccer NCAA and ACC Championship events, but also numerous ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Track and Field Championships, the National Junior Olympics, men's and women's lacrosse and soccer ACC Tournaments and first round, second round, third round, quarterfinal and semifinal action in NCAA tournament play. In the summer of 1996, the facility was the home training site for the U.S. Track and Field Team as it prepared for the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts.As I looked at more closely I noticed it is about twice as thick as what you get today. Just like everything else, manufactures find ways to increase their bottom dollar. Not that it needs to be thicker, I just found it interesting.

I got my very first piece in today, its a resin cast helmet, and it already firs pretty snug. I have a giant head apparently!
I am going to reinforce it with fiberglass, the bottom mandible is just slightly warped so planned on trimming away some of the extra "junk" on the inside. Now my questions are all basic newb need to know how
First off, how do I cut the visor to fit inside the T-slot? Does it actually fit inside the slot, or should I route out a small recession on the inside to fit it in?
When I get this step finished I will ask more :)
I cant beleive my head is that big, jeeez

I've been lurking on the boards for more than a year now. I figure it's about time to get started with the posting, and to get to doing work on putting together a Mando.
I live in Alabama and am a lifelong geek. I estimate that I've been a Star Wars fan since I was five, since I'm pretty sure that's how old I was the first time I saw A New Hope. Unfortunately, I have zero costuming experience, and you guys make everything look so easy that I think I'm getting lulled into a false sense of security about how this is going to go! But hopefully, everything will work itself out.

I made the mistake a month or so back mentioning the possibility of prophylactically treating for AFB with terramycin powder, and for nosema with fumagilin-B. Oops. Most bkeeps on this board are against treating prophylactically--and probably rightly so. So the terramycin and fumagilin-B I had already ordered are sitting in my closet.
Kathy, if you quarantine them, how long would you do that for? a month or two? Longer?
