In 2002, coming off the franchise's first 100-loss season in 16 years, the Pittsburgh Pirates showed a marked improvement in 2002. Thanks in large part to the offseason acquisitions of starters Kip Wells and Josh Fogg, relievers Brian Boehringer and Mike Williams, and second baseman Pokey Reese, the Bucs improved by 10.5 games over the previous season.
In 2004, while fielding one of the least experienced teams in baseball in 2004, the young Bucs provided hope for a bright future for the franchise. Left fielder Jason Bay, despite missing the first month of the season, became the Bucs' first NL Rookie of the Year Award winner after setting a club rookie record with 26 home runs. Jack Wilson earned his first All-Star berth and nabbed a Silver Slugger Award after becoming the first Pirates shortstop since Honus Wagner to collect 200 or more hits in a season. The pitching staff was anchored by Oliver Perez, a hard-throwing southpaw who finished in the top-10 in the NL in ERA and strikeouts.
In 2005, it was front page news when a promising Pirates club reached the .500 mark on June 11 at 30-30. But the Bucs endured a 37-65 from then on and Lloyd McClendon was fired after nearly five seasons as manager in early September. A few bright spots did emerge, though, from this otherwise disappointing year. Rookie left-hander Zach Duke was the league's rookie of the month in July and August, finishing the year at 8-2 with a 1.82 ERA. And Jason Bay became Pittsburgh's first player to ever hit .300 with at least 30 homers, 40 doubles, 20 stolen bases, 100 runs scored and 100 RBI in a season.
In 2006, the Pirates finished the 2006 season with a disappointing record on the field, posting a 67-95 record and fifth-place finish in the National League Central Division, the same as the 2005 season. And yet it was a memorable year in other ways as the Pirates hosted the All-Star Game for the fifth time in franchise history and the first at PNC Park. The Pirates also became the first team in baseball history to host a Midsummer Classic at three venues (Forbes Field, Three Rivers Stadium and PNC Park). Freddy Sanchez added to the franchise's record list of batting champions by hitting .344 to win the NL batting crown, the 25th Pirate to league the league in batting. The 2006 season saw the arrival of manager Jim Tracy and a new coaching staff, catcher Ronnie Paulino was among the NL's top rookies after hitting .310 and All-Star outfielder Jason Bay, the franchise's first Rookie of the Year Award winner the previous season, enjoyed an outstanding sophomore season, hitting .286 with 35 homers and 109 RBIs. Right-hander Ian Snell led the Pirate staff with 14 victories.
In 2007, a disappointing 68-94 finish for the club was largely the result of inconsistencies on both the offensive and pitching ends. It also proved to be a season of transition. Manager Jim Tracy and his staff returned for their second season in Pittsburgh, but was dismissed at the end of it. Changes would also be evident in ownership, as Kevin McClatchy stepped aside and Bob Nutting moved in as the principal owner. General manager Dave Littlefield was replaced in September by Neal Huntington. On the field, Matt Capps emerged as one of baseball's top young closers. He converted saves in 18 of 20 opportunities. Second baseman Freddy Sanchez made his second consecutive All-Star appearance and led the team with a .304 batting average. Tom Gorzelanny topped all starters with 14 wins.
In 2008, new manager John Russell led his team to a thrilling 12-11, 12-inning win in the season opener. However, by the end of the season, the overall result (67-95) would be no better than the previous three seasons. Russell and his new staff coached one of the league's most prolific offensive attacks until both Jason Bay and Xavier Nady were dealt at the Trade Deadline in moves that reaffirmed a retooling within the organization. The Pirates also made a big splash by drafting highly touted college third baseman Pedro Alvarez with the No. 2 pick in the June First-Year Player's Draft. Despite disappointing team results, Paul Maholm and Nate McLouth emerged with two of the best storylines. McLouth earned a starting spot out of Spring Training and parlayed that into an eventual All-Star invite and Gold Glove award. He finished atop the team in almost every offensive category. Maholm led the staff with nine wins and a 3.71 ERA.
In 2009, with the club's 17th consecutive losing season, the Pirates made an infamous mark on history by the time the 2009 season came to an end. Many will remember the season solely for that. However, the year was largely defined by a transition from the old to the new. Within a two-month period, the Pirates dealt away the likes of Jack Wilson, Nate McLouth, Freddy Sanchez and Nyjer Morgan, among others. Undoubtedly, the bevy of trades hampered the offense considerably. But openings allowed Andrew McCutchen and Garrett Jones, both of whom received votes for the Rookie of the Year award, to come up from Triple-A and shine. Zach Duke rediscovered himself on the mound and Ross Ohlendorf established himself as a Major League starter while the pitching staff underwent a facelift. Off the Major League field, the Pirates again proved that they were going to continue to be aggressive in the amateur Draft and finished as one of the Major's top spenders in it. The Pirates also opened a new training facility in the Dominican Republic, the latest proof of the club's rejuvenated effort in scouring for international talent.
From a record standpoint, 2010 was a forgettable year in Pittsburgh. With a record of 57-105, the Pirates finished with fewer wins than any Pittsburgh team to play a 162-game schedule. The club's .352 winning percentage was the franchise's lowest since 1954, and the Pirates' 17 road wins were the fewest by any team to play 81 games away from home. The club finished last in the National League in hitting (.242 batting average), defense (.979 fielding percentage) and pitching (5.00 ERA). The starting pitching was especially poor, as five different starters lost at least 10 games and the rotation dropped 84 games as a whole. A year that began with increased expectations ended with manager John Russell being fired one day after the season ended. The season was Russell's third with the organization. Despite the record, there were reasons for optimism in Pittsburgh by the end of the year. Pedro Alvarez and Jose Tabata each made their Major League debuts and had successful rookie seasons. Rookie Neil Walker also emerged on the scene and put himself in position to be the Pirates' second baseman of the future based on his stellar performance. Breakout seasons from Joel Hanrahan and Evan Meek also had the Pirates feeling plenty confident about the future back end of their bullpen.
After surprising the baseball world by contending in the NL Central for the first four months of the 2011 season, the young Bucs struggled in August and September. The Pirates had a 53-47 record and were in first place after beating the Braves on July 25. Beginning with their 19-inning loss in Atlanta on July 26, the Bucs went 19-43 in their final 62 games. Pittsburgh finished the season 72-90. The 72 wins were the most for the club since 2004 and represented a 15-game improvement over 2010. The record was good for a fourth-place finish in the National League Central division. The Pirates had not finished that high since 2003. "It's a push forward," first-year manager Clint Hurdle said. "We wanted more. We were shown why we didn't get more. We got 72. That's what we've got. We've got a lot of work to do." The boost in the win column was due largely because of improved pitching, which exceeded all expectations. The Pirates' staff finished the season with a 4.04 ERA, which ranked 11th in the NL. When compared to 2010, though, the improvement was fairly substantial. The club finished last in the Majors in ERA in 2010 with a 5.00 mark. In his first season as the team's full-time closer, Joel Hanrahan earned an All-Star Game invite and did not blow a save until after the All-Star break. Offensively, the club's two young leaders -- Andrew McCutchen and Neal Walker -- continued to mature. McCutchen led the Pirates in homers, RBI and stolen bases, and became just the eighth player to team history to have at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in the same season. Walker spent his first full season in the Majors and led all National League second basemen with 83 RBIs - the most by a Bucco second baseman since Tony Piet had 85 in 1932. The 2011 Bucs had their highest total of stolen bases (108) since 1999, but they ranked 12th in the National League in team batting (.244) and established a club record with 1308 strikeouts, whiffing at least 10 times in a games on 53 occasions. Regardless of how the season ended, the Pirates' play through the first four months turned heads around baseball. Few had predicted such a drastic turnaround taking shape, and though the Pirates couldn't maintain the pace, it gave Pittsburgh fans hope that perhaps winning baseball wasn't so far away.
In 2012, the Pirates eerily duplicated the previous season: They led the Central as late as July 18, and still had a lead for one of the two NL Wild Card postseason spots as late as Aug. 21, but it all went up in the smoke of a 12-27 finish. That stretch also took the gloss of several individual breakouts, most notably by center fielder Andrew McCutchen, who won both a Gold Glove for his defense and a Silver Slugger for his .327 average, and 31 homers and 96 RBIs. He, Pedro Alvarez (30 homers) and Garrett Jones (27) combined for the fifth-highest total of any trio in club history. On he mound, A.J. Burnett (16-10) gave the club a genuine ace and Joel Hanrahan (36 saves) became the second reliever (Kent Tekulve, 1978-79) in team annals to post 30-plus saves in consecutive seasons. The fans were as accomplished as the team: The 30 crowds of 30,000-plus at PNC Park were the second-most in the Pirates' 127-year history, and helped set season attendance at 2,091,918 -- also the second-best ever.
The 2013 Pirates won 94 games in the regular season and three more in the playoffs, won the hearts of 2,256,862 fans, won major awards -- MVP Andrew McCutchen, Manager of the Year Clint Hurdle, Comeback Player of the Year Francisco Liriano -- and even won a share of a home-run crown (Pedro Alvarez's 36 tied him with Paul Goldschmidt). As dramatic as was the rebirth of a proud franchise, it promised to be only the first stage of an era of sustained glory: The Bucs fielded nine former No. 1 Draft choices, comprising a young core. The Pirates recovered from a 1-5 getaway to move permanently over .500 by mid-April, were the first team in the Majors to post 50 wins (June 29) in the midst of a nine-game winning streak, and led the NL Central for 56 days before settling for the NL's No. 1 Wild Card seed. In the middle of all this, the Pirates' surge back into the nation's consciousness was confirmed by a quintet of selections to the NL All-Star Team: Lefty Jeff Locke; the nails bullpen tandem of Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli; and McCutchen and Alvarez.
The Bucs took a different route to the same destination in 2014, overcoming reduced contributions by 2013 All-Stars Pedro Alvarez and Jason Grilli to return to the postseason. They not only brought down the house, they filled it: Playing in a park with 10,000 fewer seats than their previous home (Three Rivers Stadium), the Pirates drew an all-time club record 2,442,564 fans. Silver Sluggers Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker led an offense that received a major boost as Josh Harrison morphed from versatile rover to dynamic regular third baseman. Emerging ace Gerrit Cole anchored the rotation around two stints on the disabled list. Gregory Polanco made his highly anticipated debut in mid-June, completing a Dream Outfield. After a loss to the eventual World Series champion Giants in the NL Wild Card Game, the Pirates geared up to make it three postseason appearance in a row by keeping free agent Francisco Liriano, bringing back A.J. Burnett and signing Jung Ho Kang as the first position player from the Korean Baseball Organization to make the jump to the Majors.
In 2015, the Pirates returned to the postseason for the third straight year but again fell short in the National League Wild Card Game. This time, it was Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta, completing a historic second-half tear, who ended Pittsburgh's season. The Pirates found themselves in a winner-take-all playoff game despite having won 98 games for the first time since 1991 and just the sixth time in their 129-year history, because they shared a National League Central division with the 100-win Cardinals. While Andrew McCutchen anchored the lineup once again, rookie infielder Jung Ho Kang became the first position player to jump straight to the Majors from the Korean Baseball Organization, making a smooth transition into the club's everyday lineup. On the mound, right-hander Gerrit Cole emerged as an ace as veteran A.J. Burnett closed the book on his 17-year career. Led by closer Mark Melancon and setup man Tony Watson, the Pirates' bullpen posted the Majors' lowest ERA. Pittsburgh broke its year-old record for attendance in a single season, drawing 2,498,596 fans into PNC Park, and the Pirates fittingly finished 53-28 at home, their best such record since 1992.
The Pirates took a step backward in 2016, a season marked by disappointing performances and injuries but brightened by the emergence of several young stars. The Bucs finished 78-83 with a tie (the club's first since 1998) and missed the postseason for the first time since 2012, their last losing season. Ace righty Gerrit Cole was often injured, superstar center fielder Andrew McCutchen slumped through the first half and Pittsburgh's rotation - the rock of its recent success - faltered throughout the year. The Pirates also dealt away two mainstays, All-Star closer Mark Melancon and left-hander Francisco Liriano, after an offseason that saw them cut ties with "Pittsburgh Kid" Neil Walker and former first-round pick Pedro Alvarez. But amid the disappointment, the Bucs witnessed a star turn by left fielder Starling Marte, who won his second straight Gold Glove Award and was named to his first National League All-Star team. Gregory Polanco, signed to a long-term contract extension shortly after the Bucs played the season's first game on Opening Day, also took a sizable step forward in an excellent first half. Jameson Taillon, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 Draft, made his long-awaited Major League debut and thrived, posting a 3.38 ERA in 18 starts. Taillon was one of four pitchers to make their Major League debut in a starting role; Taillon, Tyler Glasnow, Chad Kuhl and Steven Brault became the first quartet to do so for Pittsburgh since 1903. Overall, the Pirates had 12 players make their big league debuts, eight of whom were drafted and/or developed by the organization. The Bucs established club records for most players (55) and pitchers (32) used in one season. Manager Clint Hurdle made personal history with his 1,000th career victory and club history with his 500th as Pittsburgh's manager. First baseman John Jaso hit for the cycle on Sept. 28, 2016, the first-ever cycle at PNC Park; Jaso was the first Pirate to turn the trick since Daryle Ward in 2004, and the first to do so in Pittsburgh since Jason Kendall in 2000. Catcher Francisco Cervelli captured fans' hearts with his whimsical "That's Amore" video skits and signed a contract extension in May. Outfielder Matt Joyce made a peculiar bit of Major League history, setting the record for most pinch-hit walks (21) in a season. Before the season, GM Neal Huntington deemed it a "bridge year" as the Pirates transitioned from one core group to the next. In the end, it also marked the end of one playoff run, hopefully giving way to another in the near future.
Many individual accomplishments, a few slices of Major League history and several stories of personal triumph emerged from the Pirates' 2017 campaign, but the end result was another disappointing season. The Bucs finished 75-87, out of the postseason for the second straight year, as they were held back by a variety of absences and subpar performances. Despite the overall disappointment, ownership elected in September to extend GM Neal Huntington and manager Clint Hurdle for four more years. Longtime center fielder Andrew McCutchen moved to right field on Opening Day but ultimately returned to center - and, sparked by a torrid two-month stretch at the plate, returned to form as the team MVP. First baseman Josh Bell slugged 26 home runs and finished third in the National League Rookie of the Year Award voting. But their achievements were not enough to charge an offense that dealt with the loss of Jung Ho Kang (restricted list, unable to enter the U.S.) and Starling Marte (80-game suspension for PEDs) and frequent injuries to Gregory Polanco. Closer Felipe Rivero, acquired for Mark Melancon in 2016, stepped forward as one of the game's elite late-inning arms. A young rotation that only used seven starters, tied for the fewest in franchise history, showed signs of promise. Righty Jameson Taillon stoically overcame a testicular cancer diagnosis in May and returned to the mound in June. Umpire John Tumpane wasn't a Pirate, but he was a hero on June 28, when he prevented a woman from committing suicide on the Roberto Clemente Bridge before calling a Pirates-Rays game at PNC Park that night. The Bucs took part in the first-ever MLB Little League Classic on Aug. 20, beating the Cardinals at historic Bowman Field after a day at the Little League World Series in Williamsport. On Aug. 23, All-Star Josh Harrison became the first player in MLB history to end a pitcher's no-hit bid with a walk-off home run, sending the Bucs to a thrilling 1-0 victory over the Dodgers' Rich Hill. Reliever Dovydas Neverauskas became the first Lithuanian to play in the Majors, and infielder Gift Ngoepe became the first African-born Major League player.

They say social media is a time suck which of course is true. And can be one of the many kryptonites for writers. I should know. Many a time I would look at the time and be in shock to where all the time went. Time I could've, should've used to write. Damn you Facebook and Twitter, hand shaking fist.
Yet, social media also holds a plethora of tools for your instant perusal. Tools to help you, the writer, achieve your publication goals. I myself just spent a wonderful month in September taking part in #WIPjoy. A hashtag created by sci-fi & fantasy author Bethany A. Jennings.
Will talk more about that starting now.
So here's a few Twitter hashtags I follow and take part in:
#WIPjoy is a month long event celebrating, if you haven't guessed it, a writer's work in progress novel. Every day, we post on Twitter according to that day's theme. The first three days you introduce what you're working on and the current stage of your novel. The next fourteen days focuses on backgrounds like settings and backstories. But more importantly and fun, your protagonist(s) take over. The next seven days is the deep stuff like the theme of our work in progress. And the challenges writing it. And the last seven days is community fun week. Where you shot out your writer friends, remind what your novel is about, etc.
#1linewed is a writer hashtag I recently started taking part in. It's real simple and fun too. Every Wednesday has a new theme. Where you share on Twitter a line from your work in progress novel that corresponds to that theme. September 14th's theme was 'socks.' And you wouldn't believe how lucky I was to find two lines that mentioned it. One line each in two seperate work in progress novels. All writers are welcome to tweet lines from their novel. But remember, please don't share buy links.
#MWSL is when agents and editors share on Twitter the type of manuscripts they'd like to see in their inbox. Have a completed and unpublished story similar to what they're looking for? Follow their guidelines about querying your novel to them. Is your story still in the draft/editing stages? Do what I do. Research and follow their profile on Twitter or other social media to check if you might be a good match. Create and save their file to a master agent/editor list. And query your manuscript once it's ready. (I have a gdoc list of such possible agents. And an excel tracking list of agents/editors I most definitely want to submit to).
#PitMad, #SFFpit, #Pit2Pub…basically any pitch event. As I've mentioned on my blog many times, a Twitter pitch event is a good way to circumvent the dreaded slush pile. In 140 characters you pitch your completed manuscript. The editors/agents taking part and watching the feed will like your pitch as a sign to go ahead and query them. If you're like me and don't have a completed manuscript(s) to pitch, you can still take part. How? By supporting the writers who are. You can tweet them how much you love their pitch. Or how you think the book sounds interesting and sound like something you'd read. You can also study the pitches to help strengthen your own pitches. I also like to study the Twitter feed for genre hashtags I'd use for my own. And search the genre hashtags and pitches to help build my agent/publisher query list.
All in all, it's a great way to have fun and meet other writers. As well as serve veritable proof that we're not as alone in our writing journeys as we think. Plus, it allows us the chance to show support to our fellow comrade in pens. Another bonus is it can increase your Twitter follower count. And the piece de resistance is you're actually promoting your writing. Gaining fans of your novel(s) before it's even published. So come release date, you already have an audience who've been with you from the beginning. Who'll be excited for you and might buy your book.
Are there any Twitter hashtags you follow and want to share? How has participating in that hashtag helped you with your writing and writing career? What Twitter hashtag(s) you wish writers knew more about? Why?
PS I'll be away for NaNoWriMo and looking for some guest bloggers to take over. If you're interested, take a look at the sign up form below. Make sure to send all your media content (author and/or book photo). And your social media and buy links and blog post by the end of October.

When Link Christin boarded a Continental Airlines flight from Houston to the Twin Cities on Friday night, he expected to be on the ground in about three hours and ready for a comfy bed.
Instead, he was among 47 passengers who spent the night trapped inside a small airplane, parked at the Rochester airport, complete with crying babies and the aroma of over-used toilets.
The ExpressJet Airlines that operated the plane says the flight was diverted to Rochester because of Twin Cities thunderstorms, and that airline regulations prevented passengers from getting off the plane.
Christin is incredulous that the airline couldn't figure out an option besides trapping passengers on the plane for nine hours.
"It's not like you're on a [Boeing] 747 and you can walk around,'' said Christin, a professor at William Mitchell College of Law. "This was a sardine can, with a single row of seats on one side of the plane and two rows of seats on the other. And they've got about 50 people inside, including babies, for the whole night. It was a nightmare.''
Continental Airlines, which issued the tickets for Flight 2816, referred inquiries to ExpressJet Airlines. ExpressJet spokesperson Kristy Nicholas said the flight ran into several problems.
The airline crew on the plane reached their maximum work hours in the air, so another crew had to be flown in. The alternative of chartering a bus didn't work out. And letting the passengers into the Rochester airport was not possible because they would have to go through security screening again, and the screeners had gone home for the day.
What about just letting the passengers sleep in the airport terminal? "That was not provided as an option by ground services personnel at the airport,'' said Nicholas.
The flight left Houston about 9:30 p.m. Friday, said Nicholas, and was slated to arrive in the Twin Cities by midnight. But in Minnesota, passengers were told the flight was being diverted to Rochester because of thunderstorms and that it would refuel there, said Christin.
With the plane grounded in Rochester, the clock ticked from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. and beyond. Christin said he tried dozing off. Passengers received no food, except for a bag of pretzels earlier, he said.
And "the smell of the bathroom was getting worse, the smell of the babies was getting worse.''
As light began to fill the cabin around 6 a.m., the plane doors opened and passengers were allowed into the airport terminal, Christin said. The airlines gave them one free beverage, he said. By about 9:30 a.m., the passengers were sent back on the same plane they had spent the night in -- which by this time had no functioning restroom. They landed in the Twin Cities about 11 a.m.
ExpressJet apologizes for the incident, Nicholas said. But passenger safety and the legal requirements of airlines were top priorities.
The attorney also wondered why Continental Airlines was not taking responsibility for the incident.
"My boarding pass has a huge headline saying Continental,'' said Christin. "The flight attendant said, 'Thank you for flying Continental.' The comment cards we were given said Continental. Continental is totally in charge, whether by ownership or agency.''

(CNN) -- Mercedes Formula One team is facing a million dollar question -- and it has decided to ask the audience.
After another bruising on-track encounter between its drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at the Belgian Grand Prix, Mercedes is considering introducing team orders for the remaining seven races.
The team's head of motorsport Toto Wolff described Sunday's lap two clash, which effectively ended Hamilton's race and Rosberg's chance of victory, as "unacceptable."
"It has been our clear policy to let the drivers race this year but rule number one is: don't hit each other," Wolff told reporters in Spa.
"To see that kind of contact, so early in the race, is an unacceptable level of risk to be taking out on track.
"It cannot -- and will not -- happen again."
To make sure it doesn't, Mercedes asked its half a million Twitter followers for advice on Thursday.
"Team orders or free racing? There has been a lot of debate since Belgium -- this is a chance to have your say," it asked via Twitter.
It then posted two options, one in favor of team orders and another in favor of free racing.
Fans were asked to vote on the issue by either retweeting or marking their preferred option as a favorite.
The team then announced the result of the vote after four hours of voting, revealing 92% of the audience wanted the drivers to be allowed to continue to race each other.
Proving just how thorny the issue of team orders is in F1, Mercedes then asked: "To those who would prefer to see team orders implemented, how would you employ them?
"To the 92% in favor of free racing, what sanctions would you impose for breaking the 'no contact' rule? Would you suspend a driver for a race and not maximize constructors' points? Perhaps you'd set the order at qualifying slots?"
Rosberg and Hamilton are locked in an intense rivalry for the 2014 world title.
The German is now 29 points -- more than a race win -- ahead of his English rival and former teenage friend.
It seems when it comes to solving the problem at Mercedes there are no easy answers, even for the team itself.

Starting in February, students from Niagara University's College of Business Administration will once again provide free tax preparation assistance to members of the Niagara Falls community.
In 2012 - the 31st year that the university offered the program - Niagara students helped local residents file 479 tax returns, totaling more than $575,000 in federal and state refunds.
Assistant accounting professor James Ingham said he was proud of the 77 students who contributed more than 860 volunteer hours to the program last year, his first as coordinator. This tax season, Ingham said he hopes that Niagara can - as the university's mantra suggests - "do more."
"When we talk about creating an educational environment that is enhanced through service and experiential learning, this is exactly what we mean," said Ingham, who owns an MBA and is a certified public accountant. "It's wonderful to offer this service to people who may not be able to afford a professional accountant, and it gives our students an opportunity to apply the knowledge they've acquired in the classroom to the real world."
Sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service, the program, called volunteer income tax assistance, or VITA, is entering its 32nd year at Niagara. Under the program, NU students prepare and electronically file federal and state tax returns free of charge for elderly and low-income taxpayers in the community. The program is coordinated by members of Beta Alpha Psi, the international honor society for accounting, and the college's Accounting Society.
Beginning Feb. 12, assistance will be provided from 5:45 to 7:30 p.m. at Niagara University (St. Vincent's Hall, Room 207) on the following dates:
Sessions will also be held at the Doris W. Jones Family Resource Building (3001 9th St., Niagara Falls) from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the following Wednesdays:
No appointments are needed to participate in this free service.
Niagara University's VITA program has garnered national accolades from Beta Alpha Psi, an organization with more than 300,000 members in 300 chapters on college and university campuses around the world.
For more information, call 716-286-8050 or visit www.niagara.edu.

Philaret the Merciful of Amnia
December 1
Saint Philaret a native of Paphlagonia in Asia Minor, was a virtuous Christian layman who lived in lawful wedlock and raised a family. He was most renowned for his generosity to all in need. With the permission of God, in a short space of time he lost the greater part of his possessions to theft and other misfortunes and was left with nothing but his family, his home, and a little livestock. Yet he continued to give generously to the poor despite the faint-heartedness of his family, who reproached him for giving alms when they were in need themselves; and God, seeing his faith, restored his prosperity to him many times over. He foresaw the day of his death, and reposed in an odour of sanctity in Constantinople in 789.
Apolytikion of Philaret the Merciful
Third Tone
From the inner wealth of a divine faith, thou didst deal thy riches to the needy; and thy works of compassion have glorified Christ, the Bestower of mercy, O Philaret; for thy whole life was adorned with a love like His. Intercede for us, O Almsgiver, that He richly grant great mercy and compassion unto us, the poor.
Kontakion of Philaret the Merciful
Plagal of the Fourth Tone
In all temptations, thou hadst Job's courageous manliness, and in thy mercy thou didst give thy riches to the poor, being truly a living fountain of almsgiving. By the holy way of life that thou hast shown to us, thou dost also gladden all that cry to thee with love: Rejoice, O Philaret, faithful servant of Christ our God.
Blessed Feast Day
Share the feast of Philaret the Merciful of Amnia with an icon greeting ecard.

Former Yale Swimmer Crosses The Strait of Gibraltar
TARIFA, Spain – On the morning of June 21, Marilee Kiernan '09 swam across the Strait of Gibraltar in three hours and 12 minutes, nine minutes short of the current women's world record.
Kiernan departed from Tarifa at 8:04 a.m. and arrived at Punta Almansa, Morocco, at 11:16. Swimming at a rate of four miles per hour, her time was good enough to become the second fastest woman ever to swim the Strait and the new US Women's record holder, according to the Strait of Gibraltar Swim Crossing Association (ACNEG). She also became the fastest woman to accomplish this feat in a neoprene wetsuit.
The former Yale women's breaststroker is training for an attempt at crossing the English Channel.

Bad USB
1998 Dodge Ram
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I used to think this was a pretty good deck- not too sure now. I have always gone Kenwood and have bought their decks for years, and seems like the quality has been going downhill. My deck is less than 3 years old, and the USB port has not only quit working, but it has also burned up a flash drive that also now does not work on mky computer.
Pros: Looks, ease of use
Cons: USB port

It was the spring of my seventh-grade year. It was my first year in the public school system, and as baseball season came around, it was the first time I wouldn't be coached by my father.
I had heard about the middle school baseball coach, but never laid eyes on him. All I knew was that he ran camps for kids and I knew players that attended them, he had coached for a while, and his name was Mike Ringey. I couldn't for the life of me tell him apart from a teacher at Middlebury Union Middle School.

Granary Chef – Jason Mitchell
Granary Chef Jason Mitchell started cooking professionally at the age of seventeen, back in 1988 in Sacramento California at an Italian restaurant called Piatti. It was an open kitchen with a wood fired brick oven, with beautiful Italian frescoes on the walls, and extensive open air eating area and wonderful tile flooring. Lots of light and good patronage, Piatti was the place to eat, watch people and be seen. I was his first experience with high volume, great atmosphere and top shelf fresh cuisine, Italian style.
Now, nearing the age of forty, after an extensive country-wide search sponsored by Spring Creek Ranch, Chef Jason Mitchell is the Executive Chef for the Granary restaurant at Spring Creek Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he has been extremely successful for the past three years since 2006. After stints in the Mid-west, New York and San Francisco in award-winning restaurants like The Vintage in St. Paul, The French Laundry in Yountville, The Beacon in Manhattan, The Twisted Grille in Hudson Wisconsin and the Private Chef for the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, he has had many of the local patrons in Teton County as his adoring fans.
Teton County boasts the wealthiest residents in the States, and the Granary clientèle caters to them all, being the place to go for fine cuisine and fantastic views of the Teton Range and the only restaurant on a Wildlife Refuge.
Chef Jason's food has been covered in Gourmet Magazine, USA Today and Ski Magazine and has been published in A Taste of Wyoming, Favorite Recipes From The Cowboy State, available through Amazon by Farcountry Press. He will be published again in 2011 in Destinations, A Five Star Guide to Five Star Resorts, alongside such greats as Jean George, Daniel Baloud and Alain Ducasse.
Jason Mitchell is an adjunct faculty member for Central Wyoming College and currently teaches food two days a week, using the kitchen at The Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole, where his friend Chef Simon Purvis is the Executive Chef and another adjunct faculty member of the college. Jason is also the host of a weekly radio program on KHOL Jackson Community Radio, called The Grand Table, which covers different aspects of kitchen life, food and recipes, every Sunday morning. And Chef still finds the time to ski!
Jason is a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, arguably the finest cooking school in the world, where in three years of hard study gained two degrees, one in Culinary Arts and one in Restaurant Management.
Jason Mitchell is a single father, his son Charlie, 12, enjoys spending time with his Dad at the restaurant and the radio station and they both are avid skiers and outdoors men. They feel very lucky to be living and working in Jackson Hole, and are very serious when it comes to giving back to their community and going that extra mile for those who need it.

Thought I would post some recent pics since I haven't in so long!! Here are some of the kiddos!
Before and after!
Our home is coming together as far as decor goes, it isn't cheap to furnish a home!! Sheesh! Here is our movie room, we just bought movie posters and had them framed. Now I need a rug and some pillows!
It's a very difficult job but we take pride in our work and at the end of the day I feel like we are making a significant impact in very sick children's lives and that is what I felt called to do!

Drivers gathering for Great Nebraska Tractor Ride
WAYNE, Neb. (AP) — It's amazing, drivers say, what you can see as you buzz along at 15 mph on a tractor over hilly rural roads and narrow county blacktops.
More than 175 drivers will find out as they gather Friday in Wayne to begin the Great Nebraska Tractor Ride — an easygoing caravan of old mechanized workhorses through part of northeastern Nebraska.
Among the drivers will be Carol and Roger Fuoss, of rural Wayne. They belong to the Tri-State Old Iron Association, an antique tractor group based in Yankton, South Dakota, which sponsors a number of tractor rides. The two days of the Great Nebraska ride, on Friday and Saturday, begin and end at the Wayne County Fairgrounds.
A similar ride began Monday in the Waterloo, Iowa, area.
The Fuosses will be riding on the double seat Roger installed on his 1967 International Farmall 756. The tractor ride may not be the most comfortable, but the Fuosses like the relatively leisurely pace.
"We take back roads and see things you don't see every day," Roger Fuoss told the Sioux City (Iowa) Journal (http://bit.ly/1pfnujc ).
Also, said Carol Fuoss, hitting the road on a tractor is a way to unwind.
"This is one time where he can sit back and relax, take things a little slower," she said. "It's nice to slow down."
As they ride and take breaks in the towns of Allen, Concord and Martinsburg, the Fuosses will visit old friends and make new ones, sharing their love of old tractors.
"It isn't a high-priced hobby. You're using stuff you already have," Roger Fuoss said.

Qt 4.2.3 and 3.3.8 Released
Trolltech has released version 4.2.3 of Qt. This is mainly a bug-fix release, with updates to numerous classes across all platforms. Changes include a new unofficial Portuguese translation, three fixes to lupdate including one which brings a 400x speed increase, and a fix to a bug in QTextEdit which caused the bottom lines to become unreachable after adding the scroll bar. Meanwhile Qt 3.3.8 has been released, quite possibly the penultimate in the Qt 3 line with support for Qt 3 ending in July. Get them from the Qt download page; both qt-copy trunk and branch have been updated in KDE's repository. For those wanting to live on the edge, documentation is now available for Qt unstable snapshots.
I'm like a kid at a candy store. I'm now reading several pages of change logs :-)
Thanks Trolltech!

A Mistery Around Qt 3.3.8
A press release about Qt 3.3.8 came out in January but strangely the tar-balls were removed almost instantly from all download sites and reappeared only yesterday.

Quick Question
With support for QT-3* ending in July, and KDE-4 possibly/probably/will not be out by then, I need to ask the question:
Will KDE-3* (3.5.6 specifically) still compile with QT-4* ?
I ask since I use Gentoo and have had QT-4 masked from my machines for a while now since I thought (correctly or otherwise...) had no use for it at this time since I'm not using anything that needs QT-4*, that I know of.
By Xanadu at Mon, 2007/03/19 - 5:00am
Re: Quick Question
No, kde 3.x will not compile with Qt 4.x.
By Boudewijn at Mon, 2007/03/19 - 5:00am
Re: Quick Question
Yea, I didn't think so, thus I have QT-4 masked on my machines since I have no need of it right now (and QT isn't the smallest package on the planet:
$ equery size qt
It's not *huge*, but...
Anyway, thanx for the reply.

Hey sir, would you tell me where can I get the version 4.2.3 of Qt?

Aluminum-Body 2015 Ford F-150 - Firing OrderPosted in News on March 27, 2014
It's hard to discredit a truck that's been the number one selling fullsize pickup for 37 years and the number one selling vehicle overall for almost as long. However, 40 percent of truck buyers base their purchase on brand loyalty. That's the kind of momentum you only find in a mile-long freight train loaded full of lead bricks, and it's difficult to slow it down, regardless of what economical or functional new features GM, Nissan, Ram, or Toyota offer—or Ford fails to offer—in the ½-ton truck segment. In a quickly advancing and competitive truck market that includes GMs powerful economical direct-injected engines and a solid, vault-like chassis along with Ram's soft-riding coil-link rear end, self-leveling air suspension, eight-speed transmission, and a clean diesel pushing near 30-mpg, is the '15 Ford F-150's facelift a significant enough redesign? To be honest, I was kinda hoping for more from Ford in the form of a light-duty diesel, a 10-speed transmission, and a linked rear suspension.
Of course, there are plenty of new safety and convenience features to talk about, but the real news with the '15 F-150 is the all-aluminum body, lightweight high-strength steel frame, and available 2.7L EcoBoost V-6 engine with auto start-stop technology for improved fuel economy and the 3.5L Ecoboost. Many competitive-brand fanboys will be quick to make the comparison of the new aluminum-bodied F-150 to a crushed beer can. When you get past the heated brand-loyalty arguments, aluminum has been used successfully and extensively in planes, battle tanks, as armor plating and even in 4x4 vehicles, including our '14 Four Wheeler of the Year, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, where, thanks in part to the lightweight and rigidity characteristics of an aluminum unitbody and suspension, Land Rover engineers were able to dump nearly 800 pounds from the Range Rover Sport's chassis.
"Many competitive-brand fanboys will be quick to make the comparison of the new aluminum-bodied F-150 to a crushed beer can."
More good news is that the new F-150 aluminum bed and body are said to be more dent-resistant than the steel components on the outgoing truck. Contractors will rejoice at the idea of fewer unsightly dings until they realize that easily removable magnetic company banners and logos will no longer stick to the doors.
The company may tell you otherwise, but Ford's bet on aluminum is mostly a fuel economy play. It's said that for every 100 pounds of mass taken out of a vehicle, the fuel economy increases by about 1-2 percent. Through the use of the non-ferrous metal, Ford will be able to decrease the weight of its F-150 by up to 700 pounds on some models. Bad news for Ford is that its trucks are generally a few hundred pounds heavier than the competitors' equivalent trucks, so the overall weight savings is less than is seems. No '15 F-150 mpg numbers have been posted as of yet, but considering the new engine, the 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost, the lighter weight and Ford's current competition, it's my guess that Ford should be able to get a strippy, two-wheel-drive standard-cab shortbed version of the F-150 to hit near 30 mpg.
My biggest concern is what all of this means for the future of the SVT Raptor, one of my favorite 4x4s of all-time. All I could get from the Ford PR people was that more news is coming later this year. Considering the recent increased Ford involvement in desert racing, I suspect that the Raptor will eventually get a version of the new aluminum body and lightweight frame. Or maybe not. Some rumors noted that the Raptor would keep the '14 body and frame through 2015, as a '14 model. Unfortunately, the death of the 6.2L in the F-150 is imminent. So, what engine will go into the '16 SVT Raptor? Great question—I'm hoping for a version of the 5.8L V-8 found in the Shelby GT500 Mustang punching out 662hp and 631 lb-ft of torque. If Ford tries to replace the 411hp, 434 lb-ft 6.2L V-8 with the 360hp, 380 lb-ft 5.0L V-8, or worse, the 365hp, 420 lb-ft 3.5L EcoBoost, I will personally lead the charge to the Ford gates with torch and pitchfork in hand.
If the 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 taught us anything, it's that an unloaded 3.5L EcoBoost powered truck does get great fuel economy. However, hitch up a trailer or toss a heavy cargo in the bed and you can see mpg pulled down into the single digits. The new 2.7L EcoBoost-equipped F-150 will likely have significantly reduced cargo and towing capacities (I'm guessing around 5,000 pounds max tow), and like 3.5L EcoBoost trucks, I suspect they will deliver significantly reduced fuel economy when fully loaded. The 2.7L EcoBoost F-150 will probably be a good option for those that rarely tow or haul heavy loads, yet enjoy the convenience of owning a pickup, which interestingly enough is the majority of the ½-ton truck market.
There are a lot of unknowns, considering that this is the first aluminum pickup truck. Only time will tell if this was the right move for Ford to maintain its market superiority. I think it's going to be difficult for the typical light-duty truck consumer to wrap their mind around lighter (aluminum body), potentially less capable (reduced cargo and towing capacity), and smaller (2.7L V-6) as being better.

A vascular tumor preponderantly composed of large dilated blood vessels, often containing large amounts of blood, occurring in the skin, subcutaneously, or both, and also in many viscera, particularly the liver, spleen, pancreas, and sometimes the brain. The typical superficial lesions are bright to dark red in colour; deep lesions have a blue colour. A cavernous hemangioma in the skin extends more deeply than a capillary hemangioma and is less likely to regress spontaneously. (Dorland, 27th ed; from Stedman, 25th ed)

I can't get over that Gen play. Tricky, mistake-free, and still some stylish shit like hit confirm super into ultra. Like every other match! It's too bad that Xian says he's retiring his Gen for Ultra. But even scarier than Xian; did anyone see the P4A top 8? Yume's Aigis was terrifying!!! Way better than that of Xie. The American players did better than I thought, but holy shit Yume.
