Young Hunters Get First Shot During Special Weekend
AUSTIN, Texas — "Trick or Treat" won't be the only activity on the minds of Texas youth on Oct. 31. While some will dress up as fairy princesses and ghosts for Halloween, many will be wearing bright orange and camouflage for the special youth-only hunting weekends. Passing the hunting heritage on to the next generation of hunters is what the special youth-only seasons are all about, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
TPWD has set aside Oct. 31-Nov. 1 as special youth-only seasons for white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey. Additional youth-only seasons have also been set aside in January. During the statewide special youth-only hunting weekend, licensed youth 16 years of age or younger will be allowed to harvest white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey.
The department has coordinated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to offer a youth-only waterfowl season in the North and South Duck Zones on Oct. 24-25 for licensed youth 15 years of age or younger.
A Special Youth Hunting License ($7) is required and may be purchased wherever hunting licenses are sold, as well as online and by phone at 1-800-TX-LIC-4U for an additional convenience fee. General season bag limits for the county hunted apply during the youth-only weekend, but some additional restrictions may apply in certain areas so be sure to check the Outdoor Annual before heading afield.
TPWD has made an extra effort to open as much public hunting land as possible to youth hunting on department-managed lands. Youth who are hunting on TPWD lands must be accompanied by a supervising adult 18 years of age or older who possesses the required Annual Public Hunting permit, a valid hunting license and any required stamps and permits.
Youth hunts for either sex white-tailed deer are scheduled during the special weekend season on public hunting units, mostly in East Texas. Youth waterfowl hunts are available on many public hunting units.
The Annual Public Hunting (APH) Permit is a $48 permit, valid from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 of the following year. The APH permit allows an adult access to designated public hunting lands in the TPWD public hunting lands program. With the APH permit, hunting is allowed for small game, turkey, white-tailed deer, exotics, predators, furbearers, and fishing without having to pay daily permit fees and in most instances, without having to be selected in a drawing.

The Norwegian government has endeavored over the past two decades to engage in dialogue with those who are deemed to be terrorists and opposed to peace. The Oslo Accords of 1993 were as close as Israelis and Palestinians ever came to agreeing on a viable peace plan. Norway's foreign minister, Jonas Gahr Store disapproves of the way the Bush Administration has conducted the war on terror. "This paradigm of the war on terror connecting all kinds of armed resistance around the globe in one huge ideological framework, as a new ideology at a stage in human history when most of the major ideologies are gone, does not reflect the facts on the ground." He wants the next administration to declare the war on terrorism has come to an end and it is time to engage in meaningful dialogue.
Store emphasizes "engaging is not weakness, and by not talking the West has tended to give the upper hand to extremists on the other side." The critical need at this point in human history is getting those advocating terror to become engaged in political processes that makes them confront the daily needs of people for jobs, food, and medical care. As Store points out if one persuades Hamas to deal with political issues Hamas will "end up accepting Israel's right to exist."
There is some evidence to support the view of the Norwegian foreign minister. Since Hamas now runs Gaza it is in their interest to end rocket attacks in order to get supplies into the territory. During the past few weeks Hamas has been attempting to persuade radical militant groups to cease their rocket attacks.
European leaders like Store recognize the EU must assume a more pro-active role in securing world peace because America is trapped in an ideological quagmire of violence.

The Growth Portfolio is an aggressive diversified portfolio with the potential for higher than average returns. Portfolio managers follow a top-down investment philosophy for selecting stocks. At the core of the top-down approach is an economic forecast that is generated by the fund manager in the role of the MBA Fund Economist. From this economic forecast, the internal economist and the five risk managers target each individual sector that is a part of the Growth Portfolio's benchmark index (S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index) and form a recommendation, to be approved by all Portfolio Managers, on whether the specific sector is deserving of an overweight, underweight or market weight position within the Growth Portfolio. Portfolio Managers of all five sector groups are to make purchase and sale decisions with these target sector allocations in mind and with the goal of matching the target weights as determined by the MBA Fund Economist and the MBA Fund Risk Managers.
With regards to individual stocks, the Growth Portfolio will concentrate on mid to large cap companies that have been identified as growth companies undergoing positive changes and meet certain investment criteria. The primary research focus for prospective stocks in the Growth Portfolio will not be an important investment criteria as companies included in the Growth Portfolio are expected to reinvest earnings for further expansion instead of making cash distributions of shareholders.
The Value Portfolio is a diversified value-focused fund making investments in stocks that are perceived to be trading below their full potential. Portfolio managers may select undervalued stocks based on a bottom-up, intrinsic value and relative value basis. In the pitch process, the Portfolio Manager attempts to identify a catalyst. It is through the realization of the catalyst that the undervalued stock will, over time, reach its full potential value. Examples of a catalyst include, but are limited to, a reversal in negative sales and margin trends, an expectation of exceeding Wall Street consensus estimates, changes in management, reversal of key industry trends, product launch or mix shift, litigation settlement, decline in interest rates, or regulatory changes. In contrast to the Growth Portfolio, the Value Portfolio is sector neutral.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by BillLaimbeer, Jan 8, 2010.
I agree. Lions would be ecstatic if Prince drops to them.
When you put out an APB on teams that could surprise this season, I suggest you start with Detroit. The Lions lost 18 players to injured reserve last season, yet still won their final four -- including defeats of Green Bay and Tampa Bay. They're young. They're talented. And they're due. The club hasn't had a winning season since 2000. Worse, it has gone 39-121 (.243) since and couldn't produce a single victory in 2008. That's not just bad. It stinks, with nobody worse over the past decade. Lions draft needs: It starts with a healthy Stafford - NFL - CBSSports.com Football
Without another mauler on the Oline we would need to pass first to help the run. We could improve the won/loss but it's foolsgold.
It really pains me to agree with Thee on principal alone, but in this case, I have no choice. An interesting stat that I heard (and am too lazy to look for now) from last season was that we were one of the best in the league at running outside the tackles and one of the worst in the league at running up the middle. We need to supersize our Centre (<you Americans spell it wrong). Dominic "The Hobbit" Raiola gets pushed into the backfield on almost every single play. Forget about short yardage conversions. We rarely win the battles in the trenches.
Good things happened to the Rams when they drafted Pace #1.
Lions were 97/242 on 3rd down. 10/16 on 4th down. Opponents were 77/198 on 3rd down, 5/12 on 4th. Lions also were one of if not the best in scoring TD's in the RedZone. Raiola is an excellent Centre. His knowledge and experience in calling protection schemes are a huge advantage to Stafford. Call it wrong and sacks happen. Actually, no he doesn't get pushed into the backfield every play. That's a bad rumor. Some times he does when the blocking scheme breaks down. A Centre should NEVER be one-on-one with a DT. However, he will be in year 3 of a 4 year deal in 2011. Next year, no doubt, in the 2012 draft, the Lions will be looking for his replacement.
I'm talking exclusively about short yardage runs up the middle. Not including screens, pitches, runs outside or passes. I'm also not going off of "rumour". I'm going off of what I saw, with my own 2 eyes, in every game I watched (which was all of them) last year and for several years now. I don't dislike Raiola and I agree with you about his knowledge and experience. I also love his attitude. He's just undersized and DOES get pushed around. He's much more effective when he's pulling and blocking downfield because of his mobility. Where he sucks is in close quarters, locked up when we need to move the pile. The pile moves alright... backwards.
Reggie White woulda loved to have played against Dominic Raiola. I too agree that Dominic has been pushed into the backfield on more plays than I'd like to remember. I never understood the love for this guy by the Lions.
Jammer ^^^^^
Thanks for explaining the origin of your hostility towards Jammer. I didn't know the backstory.
@ Mogilny...Nice one. Hey, get out and vote for Michael Vick. Only problem is that curse. Madden '12 Cover: Vote for EA Sports' Madden NFL 2012 Cover Athlete - SportsNation - ESPN
Done. As much as it pains me as a Cowskins fan to admit it, I really enjoyed watching Vick last season.
What they need to do is upgrade our centre and then move him to fullback. Seriously. I could see him doing well at that position. He's still get to hit guys, it would play to his strength of blocking on the move and he'd be taking on guys his size at LB, CB and S instead of DTs.
In a 3-4 he would see the UT on running plays. And no he's not moving him. But he needs to make a clean handoff first. I don't think DR is great but he's had to babysit mostly rookies in multipal systems year in and year out.
FULLBACK?????? NO SUCH THING! Raoila is 300lbs. No such thing as a 300lb LB, let alone CB or S. Reggie didn't take on Centers. he ate Right and Left Tackles. man, you guys need to learn some Football 101.
3/4 Defenses DON'T HAVE A UT!!! DE/NT/DE Either get your positions right or move on.
NT and UT are the same. They play in front of the center.
That's why he'd win those blocking battles. Especially around the goalline.
Matt Millen? Is that you? Seriously Oz, you seem to be taking this all rather personally. It's almost like you personally drafted the guy.... First of all, I was talking more about his height than his weight. At 6'1", he'd even be on the low end of the LB range, but at least he'd be better matched up than he is against DTs now. Secondly, WHY NOT FB? Don't you WANT our players to physically dominate the guys they go up against instead of being the one pushed around? Felton has shown he can't get the job done. By upgrading the C position and moving Raiola to FB, you've just made 2 positions better at blocking. Will they do that? Probably not. But I don't think it's a crazy idea either. Raiola wouldn't be the first 300lbs (by the way, I believe that's his soaking wet, holding a 10lb bowling ball weight.) FB in history. Actually, he wouldn't even be the first 300lbs FB in TEAM history. Remember Jon Bradley from a few years ago? Bradley weighed at least 10lbs more than Raiola does. He even had a few rushes under his belt. If you do decide to respond to this post. Please try to do so with facts instead of personal attacks. Have a nice day.
Well, all I got to say is that I've known Jammer since the day this place opened. Up until tonight I thought it was impossible to get him riled up (and lord knows I've tried).

The personal dignity of Melchizedec and the importance of his priesthood; the only thing testified of him
The epistle, returning to the subject of Melchizedec, reviews therefore the dignity of his person and the importance of his priesthood. For on priesthood, as a means of drawing nigh to God, the whole system connected with it depended.
Melchizedec then (a typical and characteristic person, as the use of his name in Psalm 110 proves) was king of Salem, that is king of peace, and, by name, king of righteousness. Righteousness and peace characterise his reign. But above all he was priest of the Most High God. This is the name of God as supreme Governor of all things -- Possessor, as is added in Genesis, of heaven and earth. It is thus that Nebuchadnezzar, the humbled earthly potentate, acknowledged Him. It was thus He revealed Himself to Abraham, when Melchizedec blessed the patriarch after he had conquered his enemies. In connection with his walk of faith, the name of God for Abraham was "The Almighty." Here Abraham, victorious over the kings of the earth, is blessed by Melchizedec, by the king of righteousness, in connection with God as Possessor of heaven and earth, the Most High. This looks onward to the royalty of Christ, a Priest upon His throne, when by the will and the power of God He shall have triumphed over all His enemies -- a time not yet arrived -- first fulfilled in the millennium, as it is commonly expressed, though this rather refers to the earthly part. Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedec. His royalty was not all, for Psalm 110 is very clear in describing Melchizedec as priest, and as possessing a lasting and uninterrupted priesthood. He had no sacerdotal parentage from whom he derived his priesthood. As a priest, he had neither father nor mother; unlike the sons of Aaron, he had no genealogy (compare Ezra 2: 62); he had no limits assigned to the term of his priestly service, as was the case with the sons of Aaron (Num. 4: 3). He was made a priest, like -- in his priestly character -- to the Son of God; but, as yet, the latter is in heaven.
The fact that he received tithes from Abraham, and that he blessed Abraham, showed the high and pre-eminent dignity of this otherwise unknown and mysterious personage. The only thing that is testified of him -- without naming father or mother, commencement of life, or death that may have taken place -- is that he lived.
The dignity of his person was beyond that of Abraham, the depositary of the promises; that of his priesthood was above Aaron's, who in Abraham paid the tithes which Levi himself received from his brethren. The priesthood then is changed, and with it the whole system that depended on it.
Proofs that the priesthood and its whole system were changed
Psalm 110 interrupted by faith in Christ -- for the epistle, we need not say, speaks always to Christians -- is still the point on which its argument is founded. The first proof then, that the whole was changed, is that the Lord Jesus, the Messiah (a Priest after the order of Melchizedec), did not spring evidently from the sacerdotal tribe, but from another, namely, that of Judah. For that Jesus was the Messiah, they believed. But, according to the Jewish scriptures, the Messiah was such as He is here presented; and in that case the priesthood was changed, and with it the whole system. And this was not only a consequence that must be drawn from the fact that the Messiah was of the tribe of Judah, although a Priest; but it was requisite that another priest than the priest of Aaron's family should arise, and one after the similitude of Melchizedec, who should not be after the law of a commandment which had no more power than the flesh to which it was applied, but who should be according to the power of a never ending life. The testimony of the psalm to this was positive: "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedec."
The bringing in of a better hope; the law and God's grace
For there is in fact a disannulling of the commandment that existed previously, because it was unprofitable (for the law brought nothing to perfection); and there is the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.
Precious difference! A commandment to man, sinful and afar from God, replaced by a hope, a confidence, founded on grace and on divine promise, through which we can come even into God's presence.
The law, doubtless, was good; but separation still subsisted between man and God. The law made nothing perfect. God was ever perfect, and human perfection was required; all must be according to what divine perfection required of man. But sin was there, and the law was consequently without power (save to condemn); its ceremonies and ordinances were but figures, and a heavy yoke. Even that which temporarily relieved the conscience brought sin to mind and never made the conscience perfect towards God. They were still at a distance from Him. Grace brings the soul to God, who is known in love and in a righteousness which is for us.
The superiority of the new priesthood and its covenant; Jesus' priesthood compared with that of Aaron
The character of the new priesthood bore the stamp, in all its features, of its superiority to that which existed under the order of the law and with which the whole system of the law either stood or fell.
The covenant connected with the new priesthood answered likewise to the superiority of the latter over the former priesthood. The priesthood of Jesus was established by oath; that of Aaron was not.
The priesthood of Aaron passed from one person to another, because death put an end to its exercise by the individuals who were invested with it. But Jesus abides the same for ever; He has a priesthood that is not transmitted to others. Thus He saves completely, and to the end, those that come unto God by Him, seeing that He ever lives to intercede for them.
The Christian's position; our need met by the One whom heaven's purity and glory required; a completed work
Accordingly "such a high priest became us." Glorious thought! Called to be in the presence of God, to be in relationship with Him in the heavenly glory, to draw near to Him on high, where nothing that defiles can enter, we needed a High Priest in the place to which access was given us (as the Jews in the earthly temple), and such a One as the glory and purity of heaven required. What a demonstration that we belong to heaven, and of the exalted nature of our relationship with God! Such a Priest became us: "Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, exalted above the heavens" -- for so are we, as to our position, having to do with God there -- a Priest who needs not to renew the sacrifices, as though any work to put away sin still remained to be done, or their sins could still be imputed to believers; for then it would be impossible to stay in the heavenly sanctuary. As having once for all completed His work for the putting away of sin, our Priest offered His sacrifice once for all when He offered up Himself.
The high priests under the law contrasted with the Son of God
For the law made high priests who had the infirmities of men, for they were men themselves; the oath of God, which came after the law, establishes the Son, when He is perfected for ever, consecrated in heaven unto God.
We see here that, although there was an analogy and the figures of heavenly things, there is more of contrast than of comparison in this epistle. The legal priests had the same infirmities as other men; Jesus has a glorified priesthood according to the power of an endless life.Synopsis by John Darby

Back in 2011, we interviewed Gretchen, a determined mom of two whose younger child, Symphony, was diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) at three months old in 2006. At the time, Gretchen wrote, "When I found out that my daughter had been a victim of child abuse, the feeling was surreal. I was in shock and I felt like I was in the middle of a nightmare. I wanted someone to wake me up."
We caught up with Gretchen recently to see how Symphony is doing, and boy did she ever have news for us! Gretchen was pleased to tell us Symphony, who always wears a Lauren's Hope medical ID bracelet engraved with her multiple diagnoses, "...has been doing amazing. She had a shunt revision on March 29, 2012, yet still seemed to be able to perform the 'Crocodile Rock' in her spring dance recital that took place on Sunday, May 20, 2012. Not much time for recovery, but Symphony was determined to dance at her recital."
That's a pretty amazing recovery time for any child, let alone one with Shaken Baby Sydrome, epilepsy, and a VP shunt. Just two years ago, when we first interviewed Gretchen, she explained, "I was told by medical professionals that my daughter would never walk, talk, or eat on her own." At the time, Symphony was just starting to take a few steps with an assistive device. Today at age 7, Symphony is a true Super Star who is thriving and loves performing and hanging out with her 15-year-old brother, Tyler. And of course, Gretchen tells us, "Symphony loves her Lauren's Hope Medical ID Jewelry."
You Can Help Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome
Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is the result of injuries sustained when an infant or small child is shaken. According to the Naitonal Institute of Health, "When an infant or toddler is shaken, the brain bounces back and forth against the skull. This can cause bruising of the brain (cerebral contusion), swelling, pressure, and bleeding in the brain. The large veins along the outside of the brain may tear, leading to further bleeding, swelling, and increased pressure. This can easily cause permanent brain damage or death.
Shaking an infant or small child may cause other injuries, such as damage to the neck, spine, and eyes."
We can all do our part to help prevent SBS by raising awareness and offering respite care to parents and caregivers of infants and young children. The NIH offers these helpful guidelines to preventing SBS:
- NEVER shake a baby or child in play or in anger. Even gentle shaking can become violent shaking when you are angry.
- Do not hold your baby during an argument.
- If you find yourself becoming annoyed or angry with your baby, put him in the crib and leave the room. Try to calm down. Call someone for support.
- Call a friend or relative to come and stay with the child if you feel out of control.
- Contact a local crisis hotline or child abuse hotline for help and guidance.
- Seek the help of a counselor and attend parenting classes.
- Do not ignore the signs if you suspect child abuse in your home or in the home of someone you know.

Kenny Chesney
Unfortunately for Chesney, Capricorn wasn't much of a country label; not only was the album underpromoted, but the label's country division shut down completely not long after its release. Still, it sold 100,000 copies and caught the attention of several major labels. Chesney ended up signing with RCA subsidiary BNA, which released All I Need to Know in 1995. The album gave him his first two Top Ten hits in the title track and "Fall in Love." His follow-up, 1996's Me and You, became his first album to go gold, thanks to two number two singles in the title track and "When I Close My Eyes." Released in 1997, I Will Stand was another gold-selling effort that gave Chesney his first-ever number one hit in "She's Got It All," plus another number two with "That's Why I'm Here." His big-time breakthrough, however, came with 1999's Everywhere We Go, which sold over two-million copies and spawned two number one hits with "You Had Me from Hello" and "How Forever Feels"; it also featured another Top Ten single in "What I Need to Do," and another, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," that just missed. In 2000, Chesney issued his first Greatest Hits compilation, and two newly recorded songs -- "I Lost It" and "Don't Happen Twice" -- which went to number three and number one, respectively.
Greatest Hits became Chesney's second straight double-platinum release and topped the country LP chart. He followed it with the all-new No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem in early 2002, which gave him his strongest commercial performance yet. It, too, hit number one on the country album chart and spun off four Top Ten singles in "Young," the number one "The Good Stuff," the Bill Anderson co-write "A Lot of Things Different," and "Big Star." A Christmas album plugged the gap for 2003, and he had a strong return with 2004's When the Sun Goes Down, which won in the Album of the Year category at the Country Music Awards. He repeated the win, this time as Entertainer of the Year, with Be as You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair).
Chesney found himself the subject of much tabloid fodder in 2005 with his surprise marriage to actress Renée Zellweger (he had composed 1999's "You Had Me from Hello" after watching Zellweger in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire). The pair split that same year, citing irreconcilable differences, and Chesney released the chart-topping The Road and the Radio in November. In the years that followed, Chesney kept busy, releasing Live: Live Those Songs Again in 2006 and Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates in 2007. In April 2010, Chesney and director Joe Thomas released the 3-D concert film Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D. Taken from his 2009 Sun City Carnival Tour, the film included 23 songs from six stadium shows, shot in 3-D, interspersed with interviews and home movies. A completely new studio album, Hemingway's Whiskey, named after a Guy Clark song, also appeared in 2010. His 13th studio album, Welcome to the Fishbowl, arrived in 2012.
Welcome to the Fishbowl performed respectably, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and generating the number one country single "Come Over," along with the Top 20 hits "Feel Like a Rock Star" and "El Cerrito Place." Following its release, Chesney's label BNA shuttered and he jumped over to Columbia Nashville, which released Life on a Rock in April 2013. The album hit number one, and the single "Pirate Flag" reached the country Top Ten. Chesney quickly followed Life on a Rock with The Big Revival. A conscious shift toward a brighter sound, The Big Revival was Chesney's liveliest work of the decade, as evidenced by its first single, "American Kids," a singalong that peaked at number two on the country chart.
Upon its September 2014 release, The Big Revival debuted at number two on Billboard's Top 200 and number one on the country chart, and it spawned three additional country Top Ten singles: "Til It's Gone," the Grace Potter duet "Wild Child," and "Save It for a Rainy Day." In the spring of 2016, Chesney returned with "Noise," the first single from Cosmic Hallelujah, the full-length album that was originally called Some Town Somewhere and scheduled for July release, but was retitled and rescheduled for October that same year. ~ Steve Huey

Why Are Illegal Robocalls Getting Worse?
This won't come as a surprise to many Americans, but the problem of illegal robocalls — recorded messages which are used to sell everything from mortgage relief to extended car warranties — is getting worse, according to the Federal Trade Commission. In fact, complaints have more than doubled in the past two years.

I like to install slings on all of my long guns. And, I like the detachable swivels. It makes installing and removing slings quick and easy.
But, my Mini-14 comes with a "permanent" swivel on the front. I want to remove it. But, I have learned that it will be necessary to drill a hole all the way through the gas block in order to use detachable swivels. So, I guess that is what I will do.
My question is: Will there be any problems in drilling out the block? Is there anything I need to know before I start? Has anybody here already done it? I don't want to damage a brand new rifle but I do want to make the alteration if there is no damage to existing parts.

Walton County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) deputies were called to a residence located on Windflower Street in DeFuniak Springs after a neighbor saw a man attempting to pry open a window. The neighbor told deputies they saw the man (later identified as Nathan Jung, W/M, 4/22/1978) walk up to the residence and knock on the door. After receiving no answer, Jung then walked around the side of the residence and was looking in the windows. The neighbor stated a short time later they heard a loud cracking noise and the observe Jung attempting to pry the window screen open. At that point the neighbor called deputies. Upon arrival deputies caught Jung coming out of the rear of the residence with items in his hand. Deputies apprehended Jung without incident. Deputies then made contact with the owner of the residence who advised that they did not know Jung and that no one should be in their house.
Sheriff Adkinson stated "This is a great example of citizens and deputies working together to fight crime. Without the help of this citizen this crime may have not been solved".
Jung was charged with burglary of a structure, criminal mischief, and grand theft. He was then booked into the Walton County Jail.

i often do. if it's something that interests me, i like to at least have some general idea about how it was made. and besides, you get to hear funny/interesting anecdotes, and concept art, and stuff that didn't make the finished product, and so on.
like, for instance, i've watched most of lotr extended edition's six discs worth of documentary extras, and all the director/writer commentaries, and i've read some of christopher tolkien's books about the making of his father's books.
but i know that some people don't like to do so because "it spoils the magic", which is a viewpoint i don't quite understand, tbh.
where do you fall on this?

In the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve Harvey gave millions of women around the globe insight into what men really think about love, intimacy, and commitment. In his new book, he zeros in on what motivates men and provides tips on how women can use that knowledge to get more of what they need out of their relationships.
In Straight Talk, No Chaser: How to Find, Keep and Understand A Man, Steve Harvey shares information on:
Always direct, often funny, and incredibly perceptive, media personality, comedian, philanthropist and (finally) happily married husband, Harvey proves once again that he is the king of relationships.
©2010 Steve Harvey (P)2010 HarperCollins Publishers
"It is exactly what is says it is!"
Yes, but only if the person is a listener. You cannot get any more plain than this but some people don't want to get it.
He delivered it straight and provided explanation. And he used personal experiences to illustrate. These are not rules set in stone but they are the norm that if women would embrace in a vein of discovery, they could put some expansion in their lives.
Yes, this was less comedy and more straight talk.
If the goal is to develop a relationship that's leading to marriage it is invaluable to truly know your potential and be clear about the direction the relationship is headed before a lot of time is wasted and feelings get hurt. Once someone releases the fear of not getting what they want they create a way to attaining what they want. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME because you are afraid of what is probably inevitable anyway.
"Felt like I finally got the talk from my father I"
Thanks Steve for everything. This book is awe-inspiring and extremely enlightening. Growing up in a single parent household, I constantly received my advice from women and never had the accessibility of a father to acquire sound advice from. Male friends would always speak in part and fractions. So I never really comprehended their assistance. However, in this book Steve really breaks it down elementary style. Wish Act Like A Lady Think Like a man was available in audio also. I really wished this book was available ten years ago because a lot of mistakes may have been avoided. However, I certainly am glad to have it now when I'm really serious about getting married. I'm off to go and purchase it in print. It doesn't matter your race, religion, and or culture. Whether you're married, single, or in the process of a divorce, get the book because you will never be the same.
"Informative & funny"
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only informative but funny too. A shame something like this wasn't available 30 years ago, lol.
"Great Talk! Women especially..read this"
Straight Talk No Chaser should be a manual for young to older women! It gives strong insight into the male psyche without indecipherable words and jargon. I am 49 now, if I had this information in my 20's, I would have been a better person for it! There is something for everyone; men too. This is a great use of a credit
"A must read"
I wish I read this book before I got married. A must read for All young girls.
It made me laugh but it made me sad.
Go get it:)
"Want to stop that string of bad choices?"
Learn to "read the signs" as you go down the road that's a dead end. Stop wasting your time with Loosers/Posers/Player while others are getting the REAL MEN.
"No Chaser Needed"
This was amusing.....very amusing. I have several brothers and Steve Harvey is telling no secrets that a sister who pays attention to her brothers does not already know. The problem is that many women say, "This won't happen to me!" This is a constant problem that many women have who fall in love with love.
Always interested in personal growth & self reflection to become a more rounded individual who has something meaningful to say
"Excellent advice& Best story teller"
Absolutely! I already have! :-)
Steve tells story's that everyone can relate to. My favorite was about cleaning out the driveway- to move in a new car and relating if to relationships-
Yes & no
This is a MUST listen-- Steve needs to record more!! He is funny- fun to listen to- very relational- heart felt stories but extremely upfront and realistic- I need more stories!!
"For woman who desire respectful relationships."
I will continually revisit this book.
His honesty and the simplistic communication style. Very direct and very clear.
"Great Book"
Wonderful book on the insight and prospective i think Steve said most things right
"Another Eye-Opener"
I really do like Steve Harvey books and the narrated audiobooks because even though it may not be Steve Harvey himself..it sure sounds like him.
The book is another eye-opener because it gives me a better insight into what men want, think and
Really enjoyed the narrative...had a lot of relevance and resonance to and with me.. recommended it to a couple of friends already ...💖💖
"Great book"
Great book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it helped me understand what goes on in the mind of a man
"Really enjoyable and easy to listen"
I thought the book gave a funny, but honest, insight into relationships and how people behave in relationships
Steve- he WA honest and funny
I enjoyed his stories and he read very well
"The only book you'll ever need!!! Please read this one!"
WOW!!!! What a book, what a man! Thank you soooooo much. You have helped my friend an I whom are both just stating out in new relationships. Thank you so much for writing all your books. Your wonderful insight has has and is helping me so much.
"Even more spot on no messing answers to ladies questions."
I liked the fact Steve was so honest and direct, no BS here it is as it is and Steve tells us straight, men will get away with what you allow them to.
Steve describes a lady men will want to keep, be proud of, and how as a lady you can set down, honestly and with self confidence your own boundaries and what you expect.
The best parts tell you how to know if a man really wants to be committed to you, how he should/ will behave if this is the case, and important questions to ASK!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which is different to his famous Act like a Lady, Think like a Man.
"Laugh out loud funny!"
This book is brutally honest and straight to the point! Steve Harvey makes this book awesome to listen to as he is witty and candid in his approach. This book gives great insight into a mans mind and how a real woman should carry herself.

"When I eventually get around to trying 207 thread and especially 277 thread, don't start off by ordering 16oz spools. "
You are a smart man! My suggestion would be to just put either size about 20 winds on a bobbin and see what happens. The top thread shouldn't be a problem, I'd be worried about the bobbin thread.
Thanks Dan.
I Learned:
I don't like the non-wicking thread--I'll just use some sort of seam sealer when the time comes and...
When I eventually get around to trying 207 thread and especially 277 thread, don't start off by ordering 16oz spools.
1) No, it doesn't mean not bonded. Bonded thread has a coating on it to let it run through the sewing machine better, it doesn't make the thread stronger.
Here is the definition of non wicking thread from the Thread Exchange:
"This thread has a finish that resists liquids flowing through seams. There is a trade-off--some non-wicking finishes weaken abrasion resistance. You can minimize this problem by only using this thread when you sew high tension seams."
2) No, that is absolutely wrong, you should always use the same size top and bobbin thread. While the machine will sew just fine with different size threads, if one is larger than the other, the larger thread can actually cut the thinner thread.
3) No. I would put the feed dog with the larger hole on and leave it on. Your machine should be able to use up to size 24 needles, and the largest thread that will comfortably go through the machine is probably 207, and that won't work that well. I don't think 277 will work at all, but I don't know for sure. You can try if you like.
A couple of needle/thread Q's...
Machine = Adler 167-373T
A couple of weeks of practice using $5/square mile, waterproof, #8 heavy cotton duck canvas and I'm starting to get comfortable with the machine and am getting decent results. Now I have a few more questions before I move up to more expensive fabric:
1) I tried some #138 Non-wicking polyester thread through a size 22 needle and wasn't pleased with the results. The thread wasn't wrapped very tightly and tended to fray pretty quickly and was messy to cut. Is this normal for all non-wicking thread or is there another issue here? Does "non-wicking" = "not bonded"?
2) The Adler manual for this machine says that "The bobbin thread should be thinner or softer than the needle thread." Why is this? I've been using the same size #92 bonded polyester thread as the needle thread with decent results (at least I think it was decent).
3) Finally, I think I saw somewhere that the largest needle that can be used with this machine is a size 22 BUT, I see that there are 2 types of feed dogs for this particular machine--one for needle size up to 22 and one for larger than size 22 needles. I'd like to sew some #207 thread and maybe some 277 at some point. Is it safe to presume that the needle (and therefore the feed dog) size are the only limiting factor in the use of these large threads?

Sentury Sync (2 Days In)
Apologies in advance, I'm not very good at these.
The Board
Company: Sentury
Model: Sync (159 cm)
Type: True Twin with flat/rocker
Color: Blue
Bindings: Last year's K2 Auto Uprises
6', ~195 lbs, Duck stance (15, -15), goofy, and more of a freeride boarder than a freestyle boarder. .
What I was looking for in this board: I wanted something to serve as an all-mountain freestyle stick that will also help me improve my switch riding. Basically, I'd need it to perform well in the park as well as over the rest of the mountain. The rocker made me think of using it as a pow stick as well compared to my Atomic Radon 164 cm (love the board, but it sinks like a stone).
Day 1:
Condition: Bright sunny blue day with some wind here and there at Vail.
Experience: Considering I never had ridden rocker before, I was going to take it easy. One of my friends also had hurt their ankle, so more reason to be mellow that day. While it let me be a bit more cocky regarding my edges, it felt very slippery to me on the slopes. I'm pretty confident on blacks and bowls with my Radon, so it surprised me that a blue was giving me trouble. Turns out my back binding was a little loose which may have contributed to some of the problem. This does seem to be a pretty flexible board though.
Results: Inconclusive
Day 2
Condition: Whiteout at Breckenridge, cold and windy as hell, tracked pow lines got filled in either by the falling snow or blown snow pretty quickly. Couldn't see 15 feet in front of me at the bowl, awesomeness
Experience: Fixed the binding so no problem with that. Couple of things I noticed...
1. This board loves pow. I can't recall any problem keeping the tip up (and neither did she, har har har) and this was my first major experience with powder. Then again, it's a rocker board so you'd think it would do somewhat well in the powder.
2. The edge hold was much better today (possibly due to the binding as well as getting used to the rocker), but it still felt a little sketchy when hitting part of the packed stuff beneath the powder. I'm not sure if I could find a better board in that regard without giving up something else, however. It also initiated turns pretty quickly.
3. While I didn't do any major park jumps, hitting things off the side or present in runs seemed pretty stable, and this is coming from someone who flails a lot in the park.
4. It has some dampening, but you're still gonna feel a lot of what's underneath you.
Results: Further testing needed.
(Quick note: Sentury does a free two week demo period. You seem to get a slightly used board at a discounted price (I think mine came into around 260). At the end of the period, you send it back for a refund of your deposit or you keep it and your deposit becomes the payment.)

Arsène Wenger is confident his side will come back into Premier League contention over the course of the next month.
The Gunners are 12 points behind leaders Manchester United in seventh place, but have played eight of their 14 matches away from home.
However, four of Arsenal's six league games in December will be played at Emirates Stadium and Wenger believes it is a good opportunity to build up momentum.
"At the moment the two Manchester sides [are top]," he told Arsenal Player. "They have not been spectacular but efficient, and they have made the maximum of the chances they have created.
"For example, Manchester United have already lost three games and have lost in the Champions League as well. It is exactly what we have done but they took more points and had less draws than we did. That has been the difference until now.
"We will come back. Now we have six games, four at home, and if we do well in this block I think we have a chance to come back. But of course it is vital for us to do well in these games."
Watch the full interview with the boss on Arsenal Player soon.

"For the price, these were perfect. It would have cost me significantly more to custom design my own holiday stationary with the same quality paper. Even when I opted for upgrades like the shimmery paper, metallic envelopes and corner cuts, it was still cheaper than custom printing my own stuff. My logo was printed in full color and looks great. The only thing I don't like is that they have the "tinyprints" trademark on the back of every card. I wish they would offer an option to have that removed. If you're paying for the product, why would you pay for them to have free advertising on your paid item?"

Have you heard the big news? Data is growing at an insane pace. Ok ok, this isn't really news, I hear this almost every day. But what many people don't realize is that one of the guiltiest culprits behind data growth is actually backup data. Between 2010 and 2012, the average enterprise server backup data store grew by 42%, while file storage (which is often the scapegoat of data growth) grew by 28%. And with more and more mobile workers, it's no surprise that PC backup storage is also growing at an explosive rate, almost 100% over the past two years.
Backup data growth being what it is, it's no surprise that a lot of people are re-evaluating their enterprise backup software. That's why I recently embarked on Forrester's first Wave on Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software. As part of that report, I developed a list of key criteria that are necessary to evaluate your backup and recovery software. At a high level, here is what I came up with:

Like many other disciplines, the fields of study within the College of Architecture and Planning benefit greatly from a global perspective. Indeed, the best design and planning decisions are rooted in a broad experiential foundation with multicultural sensitivity. In many cases, you really have to see what you're studying firsthand to gain a full appreciation. That's what makes off-campus study such an important part of all of our degree programs. Regional field trips, international tours, and study-abroad programs take students to exciting and diverse places to explore environmental design and planning. Students who take advantage of these opportunities gain experience that is simply unavailable by other means, learning about a variety of approaches to solve real problems. Students in our college have been all over the world. They take part in focused field study programs arranged by their departments or programs. Learn about these opportunities in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, and historic preservation.
Students also may choose from a range of collegewide programs, such as CAP Italia, CAP Asia, World Tour, and the Ball State Study Abroad Program

Bike race to close southern Summit roads today
August 23, 2012
Be where you want to be by 9 a.m. today.
That's the mantra of local organizers when it comes to Breckenridge's USA Pro Cycling Challenge start today.
After 9 a.m., roads and bus routes will start to close down in preparation for the teams' grand exit out of Summit County just before 11 a.m.
South Main Street in Breckenridge closed between Lincoln and Adams Avenue Thursday evening and from Adams Avenue to South Park Avenue this morning at 4 a.m.
North Main Street is closing from Lincoln Avenue to North French Street at 9:30 a.m. today for a full closure of the main thoroughfare in the downtown core.
Traffic flowing into town from Frisco will be routed onto North French Street or North Park Avenue.
At 10 a.m. Highway 9 will follow Main Street's lead, closing from Park County north over Hoosier Pass to Breckenridge. Local traffic in the area of Blue River will be permitted to use Hwy. 9 in both directions until 10 a.m.
Just before 10:30 a.m. the better part of Breckenridge is set to close down with the closure of Park Avenue from North French Street to South Main Street and all feeder roads.
Incoming traffic from Frisco will be sent only to French Street at that point.
Southbound traffic will be stopped over Highway 9 into Blue River at Boreas Pass Road at 10:45 a.m.
At 10:50 the riders will take two half laps through Breckenridge before heading south bound for Colorado Springs.
Between 11 a.m. and 11:05 officials will begin to reopen roads to traffic.
Drivers will be able to access Hwy. 9 southbound behind the Colorado State Patrol car following the race.
South Main Street between Lincoln Avenue and South Park Avenue is not set to reopen until 6 p.m.
The closures will also impact morning Summit Stage and Free Ride routes in and connecting to Breckenridge.

I'm a newbie at all this and taking my 1st stab at painting (other than walls my wife makes me paint) an ESB bucket. I got this off ebay for $20 a few months back and have been researching Raf's Template's and different rattlecan colors. This may take me a bit as I travel a fair bit for work, but with all your help, tips and continued support, I'm sure it'll turn out to be something I'm proud of. Without further ado...
Here's what I'm starting with... I think it's a DP96. When I did some sanding on it, there is some putty over the lettering on the back and the "plastic" is green under all the primer.
As you can see, someone already cut out the visor and it was very rough! I cleaned it up with the dremel and some sandpaper.
The primer coat looks abit dark to me for the base metal color on Raf's templates so I sanded this re-primed and shot a coat of Rustoleum Stainless Steel Enamel. I used this on my goalie helmet, so I know it sticks well!
It's kind of a dull metallic finish and not the bright silver I will use later. Any thoughts on this as a base color? I plan to use the liquid frigett that Dynamic recommended for liquid mask. I'm thinking I pick up some carbon paper for stenciling tomorrow morning, lay the mask and throw on a coat of bright aluminum. Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated.
I'm thinking the order of paint will be 1. Stainless Steel 2. Bright Metallic Aluminum 3. Concrete (Rustoleum Granite) 4. Reffer Grey (Rustoleum Dark Grey)
Then I'll move around the helmet for the different colors. Thanks for the help!

All holsters will give some wear - that's why I don't holster most of my guns - I typically only have 1 gun that is my carry gun anyway - so, I have no reason to holster the rest.
But, I would imagine that out of everything, nylon would wear the least. Also, if U can find one, I occassionally see nylon holsters with a terry-cloth type of lining. I have 1 like that that I bought in the late 1990s - it was made for a gun w/ a lasersight attached.
Anyway, maybe U can find a nylon holsyter w/ that lining at a gun show or something....
1 insertion of my USP compact into a leather holster made some small marks. So, leather will tear it up quick.

Hi everyone! I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Jack and I'm 16(turning 17 in 3 days!), and I'm from northern California! Hunting and fishing are my passion, I have been fishing since I was 5 and I am relatively new to hunting. The 2013/2014 waterfowl season was my first! I shot my first goose but no ducks . And after that season I realized that duck and goose hunting is my true passion! I would just like to say that I didn't join this forum to cyber scout or steal anyone's hunting spot I just want to talk to everyone about hunting.
I was also wondering if there is anyone in Northern California that duck hunts? I'm looking for a hunting buddy and would love to have someone show me the ropes! I am serious about hunting and will go every weekend if I can. the only problem is that I don't have a spot to hunt for next season. I was just thinking about doing some guided duck hunts and maybe find some public land to hunt on since I don't feel I have the experience or money to join a club or lease a blind yet. And was trying to find someone to tag along. But if there is someone out there that is willing to sort of show me the ropes and do some serious hunting next season I would be more than willing to pay for whatever you have to offer.
Any information or techniques you have to offer are greatly appreciated. I am eager to learn.
Feel free to pm me if you feel more comfortable doing that instead of replying.
Happy Hunting

'"It was kind of a dream come true, but you could even throw disappointing in there," Weber said of his debut season. "Being called up was really exciting and being given a chance to try and help my teammates out and make the playoffs was really exciting down the stretch. But disappointing is the fact we didn't make the playoffs and go farther."'
Archives for June 2008
Weber eager to stay a Sabre
Orpik turns down Penguins' offer
'He could command $4 million annually from potential suitors – a group that figures to include the New York Rangers and Buffalo Sabres. Orpik's brother, Andrew, is a prospect with the Sabres, and told the Buffalo News on Tuesday that Buffalo "is a place (Brooks Orpik) would definitely want to come." The Orpik brothers were raised in a Buffalo suburb.'
St. Francis' Scarsella shines at camp
'"I didn't know what to expect," Scarsella said. "I'm playing the best of the best. I just got lucky a couple of times."'
Gerbe back in camp, this time as a known commodity
'"I don't know if there's a kid in the country that works harder than he does, and he was finally rewarded tonight. He's a catalyst for that team and he stepped up in the big moments. I think that second goal epitomized what he is: sprawling out, diving and putting it away. It's definitely a hard one to take, but it's good to see a kid who works so hard succeed in a moment like this."'
Kaleta: A big hit at Dev-Camp
'"[Two years ago] I was a younger guy trying to make an impression and now I'm a veteran in this camp, believe it or not," said Kaleta. "I just want [the prospects] to have the best time they can here."'
Myers taking strides
'What is surprising about the blueliner, however, is the footwork he possesses and the strong strides that almost seem to defy his large frame. "I find it to be one of my bigger strengths," Myers said. "My dad was my first teacher and he always told me that as a bigger guy you have to be able to skate if you want to make it anywhere in hockey. That's what I worked on."'
Q&A with Nathan Gerbe
'What are you trying to get out of this camp? "I'm just looking to get my skills shaper, meet the other prospects and other guys who are also competing for spots. It's always fun to come out here and play the game. A camp like this really helps you get into shape and start your summer off on the right note. You've got to come back in August, so right now, is just a stepping stone."'
Justin Jokinen
'"Obviously, we are happy for Justin and it's good for the program with the exposure it gives," said MSU men's hockey coach Troy Jutting. "Now he needs to come here and hopefully develop the way that we think he can and the way that Buffalo thinks he can."'
Enroth takes steps forward
'Enroth feels he's ready, which is why he signed a three-year, $1.9 million deal with the Sabres last month. There was nothing else to learn in Europe, where he led the Swedish league with a 2.13 goals-against average. "It felt like I played well in two good seasons at home," Enroth said. "I feel like I had to make the next step."'
Sabres have some work to do
'It was evident in the draft, when Buffalo went for a lot of tall teenagers who might make an impact in the latter stages of an Obama administration. Otherwise, it's the same collection of softies who missed the playoffs last season, a year after winning the President's Trophy.'
Team opens development camp at Niagara University
'"I wasn't sure about him," said John Adams of Niagara Falls. "But he can really skate, for being that big (6-foot-7)."'
Sabres extend qualifying offers to five players
'Buffalo Sabres general manager Darcy Regier announced today that the team has extended qualifying offers to all five of its restricted free agents.'
NY judge reduces sentences for Rigas dad, son
'The 15-year sentence of 82-year-old Adelphia founder John Rigas was reduced to 12 years and the 20-year sentence of his son Timothy Rigas was reduced to 17 years by U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand in Manhattan. The Rigases, convicted of charges including conspiracy, bank fraud and securities fraud, began serving their sentences last August.'
Rookie camp at Niagara starts today
'Boston College star and Hobey Baker runner-up Nathan Gerbe will miss today's opening day since he and his national champion Eagle teammates were spending the Tuesday at the White House.'
NHL doesn't joke around with MSU recruit
'"I talked to a lot of scouts and a lot of people, and some guys told me he could possibly go as early as the second round," Jokinen's high school coach, Dave Esse, said. "I was a little disappointed that he went in the fourth round. … But it's all in the eye of the beholder. There's someone out there for everybody. It's like a dating service; you never know what they'll like."'

The University of St. Thomas Music Department and Music Preparatory School will treat the community to the debut performance of the "Sunday Afternoon String Quartet Concert" at 1 p.m. on Nov. 4 in UST's Cullen Hall, 4001 Mt. Vernon.
The event is in the early afternoon, just in time for families to enjoy melodious music after Sunday morning activities.
The program will feature the powerful "String Quartet No.3" by Dmitri Shostakovich, which he calls "The War Quartet." Also featured is a movement of the mature "String Quartet No.23" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as well as Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's tumultuous "String Quartet No.6 op.80," which is the last piece he wrote before his untimely death.
Concert performers are MPS faculty members Dominika Dancewicz on the violin, Juliette Javaheri on the violin, Dawson White on the viola and Patrick Moore on the cello.
Paul Krystofiak, director of MPS, said he is thrilled to present the faculty in this recital.
"We are blessed with very accomplished musicians in the Music Preparatory School and proud to present them in our first faculty string quartet," Krystofiak said. "Many students, from these instructors, participate in our six summer programs and are full-year students in the school. We also have an inaugural MPS String Orchestra scheduled for later this month."
Attendees will learn more about the context of this powerful, passionate and highly-narrative music during a short description before each piece. Friends and families are invited to enjoy this musical medley.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Ann Harlan at email@example.com or 713-525-3159.

...can produce porting where the total surface area of the ports is Greater than the surface area of the bore of the barrel.
I'm confused by this description as I can interpret it in two ways:
1. The sum of the interior surface area removed during the porting process > than the remaining interior surface area? (a barrel where you have more material removed, than remaining, like that old rail-based barrel).
2. The sum of the Ported Surface area > the area of the non-ported surface area (i.e. 8" of porting on a 12" barrel).
The stock Phantom barrel for example - it's minimally ported but quite quiet. I think the key might be the channels - they act as a significant step up for the last 1.5" or so.
I don't own a phantom and I've not seen a phantom barrel up close, can you point me to a description or diagram showing this? What I'm picturing is interior grooves (fluting) inline with the length of the bore, for the ported section of the barrel.

In my last post, I called for no more half-measures for the Brewers: no more spending of resources on players who aren't clear upgrades. That particular post discussed potential first base targets like James Loney or Ike Davis. The Brewers have thankfully taken a smarter route that costs them nothing in players/draft picks and virtually nothing in money. Mark Reynolds and Juan Francisco will likely produce similarly to what Loney or Davis would have for a fraction of the cost. Sure, it isn't as good as acquiring a great first baseman, but it's a lot better than spending on a mediocre one.
The half-measures theory applies to all positions, including pitchers. The reason I like the Garza signing more than almost all of the Brewers' major acquisitions in the last three years (probably second only to the Greinke-Segura deal) is largely because he provides an actual clear upgrade to what they had.
Current Brewers pitchers, 2011-2013
Yovani Gallardo: 592 innings, 3.48 xFIP, 7.3 WAR
Kyle Lohse: 598 innings, 4.01 xFIP, 7.5 WAR
Marco Estrada: 298.2 innings, 3.57 xFIP, 5.1 WAR
Matt Garza: 457 innings, 3.46 xFIP, 8.3 WAR
Over the last three years, Garza has been more valuable than any of the Brewers' starting pitchers. He has a higher WAR than Gallardo and Lohse despite pitching far fewer innings. This is due to his strong strikeout rate and solid walk rate (His K rate is higher than Yo's and his walk rate is lower).
This is a strong upgrade. Lohse-Garza-Gallardo-Estrada-Peralta is a much stronger rotation than Lohse-Gallardo-Estrada-Peralta-Thornburg/Hellweg/Nelson/whomever. This also adds decent depth to the rotation, as the guys now slotted 6-8 in the rotation could be okay as spot starters.
Of course, that whole "far fewer innings" part played a big role in this signing. Without the injury concerns, Garza would have earned a much larger contract than $50 million guaranteed. Garza hasn't had any crazy long DL stints, but he's missed a handful of starts over the last few years due to elbow and shoulder concerns. It led to some pretty creative contract language, and it certainly makes this contract a risk.
It is a risk worth taking, however. Garza's upside is a pitcher that's as good or better as any the Brewers currently have. Look at those numbers again. If those four pitchers come close to their performance of the last three seasons, the Brewers will actually have a pretty strong pitching staff. Yes, Gallardo declined last year, and yes, Lohse is getting up there in age, but even if they come close to those numbers, the rotation should be average-ish. Average-ish much, much better than last year's rotation.
With an offense that could also return to average-ishness with Ryan Braun's return, we actually could be looking at a Brewers team that is… average! With an extra playoff slot, that means some luck could give the Brewers a puncher's chance at a Wildcard spot. It's something, at least.
The second reason I like this signing, and what really sets it apart from the Kyle Lohse signing last year, is that the Brewers did not have to forfeit a draft pick to sign Garza. Lohse is a solid pitcher, but I hated the signing, because the Brewers were not in a position where it made sense for them to forfeit a pick. They were not one starter away from being a contender, so they essentially forfeited a draft pick to take fourth place in the division.
The Brewers have one of the worst farm systems in baseball. The recent Baseball Prospectus Top 101 confirms that, as there are zero (0) Brewers prospects to be found on the list. They cannot afford to forfeit any high draft picks. This signing doesn't hurt any rebuilding of a farm system, which is what has me feeling okay about it.

Hey guys just putting out a feeler to see if there are any people from/ in the Webster area that might have a chance to get out Nov. 1-8. I'm pretty much content to have the whole trip to myself and my dog, but just thought it might be interesting to get to know a few of you better. Not looking for your spots or anything of the sorts. I'd be fine meeting up with you to hunt some of the public areas.
I also wanted to throw it out to some of the old timers that may not be able/ willing to hunt alone that if they want a young bull to do the work of setting up and hauling dekes I'd be up for that too. I've talked to a few of you via pm and you seem like a good group of guys and I'd like to meet a few of you, even if it's at a tavern and BS about what we could have shot on the days hunt.
Hope to hear from a couple of you.
