1969 Jeep Jeepster - Rocking OddballPosted in Project Vehicles on May 1, 2010
Back in Moab '09, Hazel and I were talking about what cool Jeeps were where, and this Jeepster came up in conversation. Hazel didn't have time to shoot it before he left for home, so I said I'd keep my eye out for it. The next day, I decided to go on a trail ride on Fins and Things with some industry friends. Lo and behold, this awesome Jeepster pulls in. The exact Jeepster Hazel had told me about the day before. Turns out it was built by Off Road Evolution, and owned by Terra Hagel, the wife of a guy I ran into on the trail a few years ago. Sometimes things just come together.
Once I saw it, with its V-8, auto trans, and custom coil-over suspension, I knew it was something Jeepster aficionados would love to see. A lot of tech in this Jeepster can be applied to other Jeepsters, and I knew I was going to write a feature on it. It really was just too cool to pass up.
The stock frame is still there, but with a ton of tube and custom work done to it to stiffen it up and hang the linked suspension. A combination of custom brackets and off-the-shelf parts comprises the suspension. Fox coilovers get the nod for elevation and articulation up front; out back, a modified Off Road Evolution Evo-Lever allows for plenty of suspension travel and shorter coilovers that don't necessitate poking through the body of the Jeep. Fox air bumps were located at all four corners to keep the massive tires out of the fenders.
Out back is a custom three-link suspension with a wishbone-style upper that works with a Currie Anti-Rock sway bar; the front is a unique three-link with Panhard bar (think stock TJ-esque suspension without a passenger-side upper link) for better articulation and clearance. The front and rear suspension conspire together and the Jeep got a 7-inch bump in wheelbase up to 108 inches. A custom tubular skidplate with 1/8-inch-thick sheet steel protects the transfer case and transmission.
Out front, a PSC steering box is covered in a 3/16-inch-plate framerail stiffener/winch mount setup. The pan hard bar mount is also 3/16-inch steel and is braced back to the passenger side framerail through a 11/4-inch, 0.120-wall tube to keep from stressing the factory framerails.
The Chevy 6.0L V-8 engine from a '04 Silverado has plenty of oomph for this Jeep. It was fitted to the framerails via some custom brackets and rubber motor mounts. The engine internals were left alone for maximum reliability, but breathe in through a custom U-shaped intake with a K&N filter. It exhales through custom David Chappelle headers and a true-dual exhaust with 3-inch Dynomax mufflers that dump in front of the rear wheels. A PWR performance radiator keeps things cool and is located in custom mounts.
Power is then handed off to a 4L65E from the same '04 controlled by an Art Carr shifter. A 4.3:1 Atlas II sends power out to the front and rear Dynatrac Pro Rock 60's with 5.13 gears and ARB Air Lockers. Big stopping power comes from Dynatrac's Big Kit upgrade and is pressed on by a Vanco Brake vacuum booster and master cylinder assembly. The tires are 40x13.50R17 BFG MT KM2s mounted on 17x9 Spyderlock beadlock wheels.
Body and Interior
The front fenders are custom Off Road Evolution pieces from tube and 1/8-inch plate steel. The stock Jeepster grille was clearanced on the back side for the aluminum radiator and 6-inch PIAAs were swapped in to serve as headlights. The rockers were trimmed back and are protected by tubular rocker guards that are tied into the cage, which is in turn tied back into the frame.
The rear inner fenders were cut from the body, stretched about 12 inches in length, modified to clear the rear Mastercraft seat for Buoy the black lab, and welded back in. Then the stock fender flares were chopped off, stretched to match, and moved up about seven inches; some custom sheet metal work filled them in for a stock look with a much bigger wheel opening. Once all of the bodywork was done, it was hosed down with House of Colors charcoal grey paint.
Behind the rear seat resides a Jaz fuel cell, a Power Tank in lieu of the complex engine-driven compressor, and a Mastercraft tool bag with a basic tool kit for emergencies. The custom Off Road Evolution cage frames a set of Mastercraft front seats with a tubular and aluminum console. The stock speedometer and warning lights are all still in place, but the headlight/heater/wiper switch panel has been removed and replaced with a simple aluminum panel with a couple of switches. The stock Jeepster ignition switch still lights things off and a hand-held Midland CB radio provides communication for those long trail rides.
Good, Bad, and What It's For
The fender and general body work on this Jeep is awesome. The front custom tube fenders mimic the stock units but add much strength, while the relocated rear flares and stretched inner wheelwells are done very well and keep the unique Jeepster look. The cage is hell-for-stout, but we would have preferred that the tailgate remain functional and the rear tire swing out. The headlights would fail inspection in many states, but the rear cantilever suspension is a really slick way to avoid poking monster shocks through the body and thus retain the interior space.
Why I Wrote This Feature
I like Jeepsters. VJs, C-101s, and C104s-I like 'em all. I'm on number four now, but way back when I got my first one, I wanted to build something like this with a Chevy V-8, big tires, coil suspension, and hog out the rear wheelwells to a normal size. This Jeepster is everything I hoped my first one would become, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to shoot it. -Pete Trasborg

Kosher wine has a ton of stigmas attached to it. It is all sweet, thick, flabby. It is only made from the Concord grape. And of course, it is BOILED.
It a very brief nutshell, NO, not all kosher wine is BOILED – actually I don't think ANY kosher wine is boiled.
So where does this mis-information come from? It comes from the fact that SOME kosher wines are further classified as "mevushal" – FLASH PASTEURIZED.
Flash pasteurization is a process used by NON-KOSHER wines too, including Louis Latour ("The wine is passed through a heat exchanger that raises the temperature to 72°C for 2-3 seconds") & Beaucastel ("The skins of the grapes are heated briefly to 80 °C / 176 °F and then cooled to 20 °C /6O °F") to name two. This pasteurization is sometimes done to bring out aromatics, and other times to remove potentially harmful bacteria & "stabilize" a wine much like fining or filtering does.
Kosher wine that has gone through flash pasteurization does so to enable all people (regardless of religion & level of observance) to handle a wine. (According to Orthodox Jews non-"mevushal" kosher wine may only be handled by Jews to maintain its classification as "kosher".)
I want to break another stigma.
"MEVUSHAL" (flash pasteurized) wines DO NOT AGE.
I had the good fortune of drinking a 1996 Herzog Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wine the other day thanks to a new wine friend.
This wine was gorgeous! At a very mature 14 years old, this mevushal wine was soft & velvety with fresh fruit & berries. An elegant wine that has aged quite gracefully and had a long luxurious finish.
What can I say…don't believe everything you hear or read (just because you read it on the internet… ;)…).
Yes, some mevushal wines that go through flash pasteurization prematurely age due to poor pasteurization methods. But when done right, this process seems to have no negative effects on the wine. On the contrary, maybe it does in fact rid wine of bad bacteria and make it MORE age worthy…???…I know the mevushal Cab from California's Herzog Winery sure aged well!!
Happy Mevushal wine tasting!

EnoughDesigns needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
We have existing buttons on our website. I know the buttons I need. I have the colors. I have the basic designs. I have the original design AI file.
Young learners
I have a list of buttons and provided a brief description of each button. I have provided the RGB codes for the colors. I have provided sample buttons. The buttons have a nonhover and hover(select) state so two colors needed. I have included the source files in AI format.
I know that I need 14 buttons and I will need 2 additional (maybe) buttons later.
I will select a winner as soon as I'm comfortable that you can build the remaining buttons. I would then end the contest early.
For your submission to this contest, I would like to see you do the first button on the list, your cost, your willingness to do the TBD buttons later, and when you could complete this task.
I'll have to check with my web developer on the final format. I would probably need them in jpg. And, of course, I would want the source files.
I have attached these files:
ButtonsForLinksDescription - describes the buttons needed.
ButtonsHoverSelect - shows the button when being hovered or selected.
ButtonsNonHover - shows the button as it appears when no activity.
ButtonColors - RGB codes for the buttons.
ButtonAISource - source file for existing buttons which you could utilize.

Item # POC0105Item # POC0105
A new approach to protection.
POC makes the Trabec Helmet in two models. This Trabec Race Helmet has a greater proliferation of Aramid netting inside the molded EPS foam core than the standard Trabec. This gives it extra protection. Aside from the color options, this is the only difference between the two. Otherwise, it's designed for mountain bikers or anyone who might want greater coverage over the ears and around the back of the head. The goal was to increase safety without sacrificing comfort and performance.
The Trabec fits more like a skateboard helmet, and this way it envelopes more of your skull. The fit can be custom tailored, and since it offers more coverage, the potential for movement when your head strikes the ground is less than smaller helmets with less coverage. Thinking about the way we wreck on trails, there is a greater chance for a variety of trajectory -- forwards, sideways, even backwards. When you get crazy, crazy things happen. So to protect your brain you need to cover your skull.
POC builds the Trabec Helmet as a single layer system. It has a polycarbonate shell that acts as the first defense against impact energy. It spreads the impact across a greater area so that the EPS liner can further absorb and soften the blow and protect your brain. Inside the foam core is an aramid net. Its purpose is to hold the foam together and resist chunking under massive, high speed impacts (like rebar in concrete). It's designed as a multi-impact system, so the helmet can survive more than just a few connections with the terra firma.
POC punches sixteen large vent holes in the shell, so you'll get plenty of airflow on hot days. An adjustable visor also helps on those sunny days to protect your eyes from glare and bright skies. A size adjustment system at the back allows you to snug it down for a perfect and wiggle free fit.
The POC Trabec Race Helmet is Black/white, Orange/White, and White/orange. It's available in three sizes -- X-Small/Small, Medium/Large, and X-Large/XX-Large. The pads inside are treated with Polygiene. It prevents bacterial growth, is eco-friendly, and is perfectly safe next to your skin. Since the bacteria can't grow on the pads, they'll last longer, require less cleaning, and smell way better.
- 16 large vents for ventilation without compromising protection
- Polycarbonate shell with no seams in high-exposure areas
- Aramid-reinforced EPS core for added durability
- Adjustable visor protects your eyes from rain, sun, mud, and branches
- Expanded Aramid net inside EPS foam layer
- Super-tough polycarbonate shell
- 16 vent holes
- Adjustable visor
- Extended protection over typical helmets
- Adjustable fit system

Reviews & Community
Excellent helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fits well due to the fact it is very adjustable. Very light, with good air flow.
Affordable helmet
Great helmet fits true to size. Very light weight. The only complaint is the amount of ventilation holes on the helmet.
Poc trabec thumbs up!
Great helmet fits great, looks good, however the tightening mechanism could be better if you could adjust it with one hand.
Great Helmet
POC's ski helmets usually fit me a bit weird. I was skeptical about the fit of this bike helmet but once it arrived, I knew it would be great. It fits great, has plenty of air flow and has been dependable thus far.
This does not have MIPS or any type of rotational impact mitigation but it is still great without it.
great gift
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
what an awesome helmet! looks great, feels great, works great. happy biking!
good coverage so I think good protection
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: M/L
a bit snug compared to my other L helmet size. like the look and the bill does seem to protect my eyes from glare. can be a bit warm on hot days.
a favorite
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've owned a few of the poc helmets now for road and bought this for my son (his pick). He swears it's been his favorite helmet yet, yea he's only 15 but he's been through several. He says it's very comfortable on and of course loves the look. POC makes safe and quality stuff so I trust it completely.
Good helmet ride
am delighted to receive the goods.
I like it so much.
I bought it through foreign direct drive.
Everybody ride safe riding rides.
꼭 가지고 싶던 헬멧입니다. 좋은가격으로 구입을 해서 너무나 기쁘다
Job well done
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The helmet looks awesome and is extremely comfortable. I already fell straight on my head as I went otb and it did what it's supposed to. I'm impressed. Always poc for me
Poor strap to shell attachment
Two weeks in to owning this helmet, the strap pulled out of the shell up front and I have ridden it with duct tape for over a year now because they are so expensive.
I looked on their POC's warranty page and they say I am supposed to contact the retailer, so I called backcountry and they just gave me an email address for POC (fail). I found a phone number for POC in Utah so I called POC about the issue and no one ever decided I was worth calling back.
My head protected this helmet in a crash
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love the look of this helmet. The colors, the styling, and it looks like a helmet that would be super safe, given the huge amount of coverage.
Unfortunately, I found out after a crash that the helmet decided to save itself by letting my head suffer. My front wheel went sideways at the bottom of a long, steep descent and I went over the bars at quite some speed. I knocked my head hard enough that it was a good minute and a half before I knew where I was and what I was doing.
All that's possible with any helmet, but what stood out for me is this helmet looks completely undamaged. I've crashed in plenty of other helmets (motorcycle, road, and MTB), always with no head injury, but almost always with significant damage to the helmet. The helmet should protect your head by breaking. I cracked a Catlike Whisper in six places after a bad crash but my head was no worse for wear. I went out and bought another Whisper the next day. Unfortunately this POC Trabec Race is going in the garbage and I'm not getting another. Good looks are not worth my health (or possibly my life).
rookie review
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
give i am new to the mtb scene there probably is not too much importance to my review but i will say i love this helmet!
it fits right, fits tight and makes me feel extra protected when i am on the track. can confirm the breathability that was mentioned by others. it does get hot and sweaty under this one, yet at the same time it feels like it wont just fall apart when you fall over therefore i don't care if i sweat.
would buy it again!
I have this helmet, and it's awesome! One thing: Is it possible to get replacement liners? If so, where? I can't seem to find any online.
Finally upgraded, very happy I did!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I haven't bought a new bike helmet in a long time. This year, I decided it was finally time. I love the Trabec Helmet! Whether I am riding dirt or road, this guy gets the job done. I haven't taken a digger yet, but I expect any Poc product to hold up. More vents would make the helmet cooler, but would take away the style, so I can deal!
Love the Trabec
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Have used this helmet for a few seasons now and have even replaced it with another Trabec after crashing hard on it. Can say it held up to a huge crash earlier this season, I was super glad I was wearing it! It doesn't breathe as well as other brands do, but I'd prefer the head being covered than breathability, so you just need to choose what features are important to you. Also I love the color options. There, I said it.
great fit!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Love this helmet. It provides great coverage,lightweight and breathable.
Highly recommended
Proven Trail Lid
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Trabec checks off all the boxes for a trail helmet. It's plenty light, adequately well ventilated, fits true to size, and looks good. My two gripes are that the retention system isn't quite as secure as the click wheel you'll find on some other helmets, and I prefer the added coverage at the base of the skull afforded by a TLD A1 or POC's new Tectal.
Anyone know if the visor is removable?
Hey Chris,
Yes, the visor is removable!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Have a stable of high end bikes and about as many helmets. In an effort to save weight, this manufacturer has compromised quality and safety. One the first ride, one of the strap attachment pulled out of the helmet clips and when I as attempted to reattach, it would just pull out. The velco tabs that restrain the pads are already coming loose and all this and all this after one use. Let me preface this review with the fact that I maintain all my bikes and gear in immaculate condition and have more bike tools than most bike shops. Surprises me Backcountry would even carry this helmet.

Is there a better alternative that is better constructed or better velcro, which is easy to augment with .50 cent strips BTW
I had the same problem. Two weeks in to owning this helmet, the strap pulled out of the shell up front and I have ridden it with duct tape for over a year now. My wife just wrecked and shattered her helmet which reminded me that having a faulty helmet is a bad idea. This is an expensive piece of junk and I can not recommend anyone riding in it.
I looked on their POC's warranty page and they say I am supposed to contact the retailer, so I called backcountry and they just gave me an email address for POC (fail). I found a phone number for POC in Utah so I called POC about the issue and no one ever decided I was worth calling back.
john what would suggest as a better alternative for this type of helmet???
Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Had the helmet for about a year now. Fits great. I have a larger head and the L/XL fits nice.

Guy Ritchie has pulled out of directing alien action movie "Lobo" to concentrate on a "Sherlock Holmes" sequel, according to the detective film's producer.
The Brit was set to start work on the live-action adaptation of the DC Comics bounty hunter saga after the super-sleuth picture had wrapped last year.
But following the success of the detective movie, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, Ritchie has bowed out of "Lobo" to focus on a second "Sherlock Holmes," according to producer Joel Silver.
He tells the Los Angeles Times, "I don't think he's going to do it (Lobo) now. The studio wants us and Guy to focus on making another Sherlock Holmes. So I think we're going to be doing that. But we're seeing what happens with this. Everybody is analyzing everything. It's all kind of happening right now as we talk.
"Sherlock is sitting at just about $400 million in worldwide gross and showing itself to be pretty effective and pretty strong. So we're trying to see if we can do something quickly with another Sherlock Holmes movie. We have some ideas and some good story points.
"Downey loves the experience of playing Sherlock and would love to play him again, and I'd love to see him play it again. Jude and all of them will be back and it will be great."

CLAREMONT – The City Council has adopted parking permits and closure hours for the Claremont Hills Wilderness Trail and the Thompson Creek parking lots, while adding a parking exemption for veterans displaying special license plates.
The exemption will allow free parking for veterans whose car licenses have special licenses, such as Pearl Harbor Survivor plates; Legion of Valor plates; Former American Prisoner of War plates; Medal of Honor plates; Purple Heart plates or other plates issued by another state that indicate a similar status.
The approval completes a series of meetings over expanding parking lots, adding parking meters, and setting hours for the park.
"I think we have to be sensitive to everyone's concern," said Councilman Opanyi Nasiali about trying to make the community happy with the lots.
City Manager Tony Ramos said construction on the Claremont Hills northern parking lot is several weeks behind schedule because of recent rains, and it's anticipated it won't open by the middle to the end of February pending weather.
The hours the park is open changes each month:
January 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; February 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; March 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; April 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; May 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and June and July 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; August 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.; September 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.; October 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; November 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and December 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Temporary parking permits for $3 for up to four hours can be purchased for a fee at meters at both parking lots. Annual parking permits will start at $100 per calendar year and be prorated based on the quarter of the year they are purchased.
Claremont resident and Claremont Colleges student parking permits will permit free parking in the south Thompson Creek Trail parking lot, at Mills Avenue and Mt. Baldy Road.
A maximum of two parking permits can be issued per household. Permits must be renewed at the end of the third year.
The south lot parking times will coincide with the Thompson Creek Trail hours, which are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
In a separate item, council also approved prohibiting parking on Mills north of Pomello Drive and on Mt. Baldy from Mills to Via Padova, beginning with the opening of the north Claremont Hills Wilderness Park parking lot and the paid parking system.
For questions about the parking permit program, contact the Alexander Hughes Community Center at 909-399-5490.

Here is a lesser-known fact about me: I am an only child.
I am mother to five, almost seven (!), children, and I have nary a sibling.
People make lots of assumptions about you when you're an only child. I cannot tell you the number of times I was asked growing up, "Do your parents buy you everything you want?" (um, NO! Bummer!), or was told "Welllllll, you don't SEEM like an only child" (and what DOES an only child "seem" like? Gosh, people are rude.) I actually think people were skeptical of my character or something because I didn't have any brothers or sisters to teach me how to be a civilized, humane citicizen. Blech.
Funny thing is, times have changed, even from the eighties, which is when I was growing up. NOW, I think if you decided to stop after having only one child, you'd get fewer weirdo comments than the person having three or four children. Maybe not, I don't know, I guess I'll NEVER know since the we're-only-having-one-child ship has long since sailed away from here.
Oh and do NOT assume that my having so many children has anything to do with having grown up a sad, "lonely only". I was neither sad NOR lonely. I had a great childhood. I have a great relationship with my parents. No regrets.
So. On to more important business. The first time I ever shared a bedroom with someone was in college, in the dorm. I thought it was so awesome to have a roommate, and it really was. I shared a room the following year too, but my junior year went back to having my own room. Then I got married, and ever since then I have shared my room with a boy.
Anyway, my kids share rooms currently, all except Mary, because she of course is awakened the easiest, so she has her own room. Anna shares with Kaitlyn, and Yosef shares with Biniam (they however are SO the odd couple. Really. If they ever decide to remake that old show my sons will star in it for sure.) They all, for the most part, love sharing rooms. If one of the girls is sick and sleeps on the floor in our room, the other girl is SO SAD. "IIIIII'mmmmm LONElllyyyyyyyyyy", she'll declare. It's really the sweetest thing ever. I love that every.single.night. at my house is like a mini (or not so mini, good grief we have five kids) slumber party. Each of the kids feels so safe and cozy with a brother or sister
But as you know, we have two new girls joining our family in the next several months. Which means there will be some shuffling around of rooms in our five-bedrooms-for-nine-people home. (I quickly want to say that this house is MORE than big enough for our soon to be family of nine. Truly. We are so blessed to have so much, when we think about the rest of the world or about the impoverished in our own country. We want for nothing.)
I honestly am not sure WHAT we'll do. T. is roughly Mary's age, so it would make the most sense for them to share. M. is around Kaitlyn's age...but...Katilyn shares with Anna. I don't know if I really WANT to split up Kaitlyn and Anna. And give Anna her own room. It would make good sense for a lot of reasons (Kaitlyn is such a night-owl and Anna, while she was at Kaitlyn's age, is so not now. There would also be no more than two children per bedroom, which is nice too.) BUT, we'd lose our guestroom. AND, Anna would have her own room. No more sharing with sweet Katie Jane. That makes me so sad for some reason! These girls have shared a room ever since we moved to Denver. Prior to that, when Kaitlyn was a baby, Anna would beg, BEG, to share a room with her younger sister. So it has been such a special thing.
But we have an odd number of girls we're working with here and I'm honestly not certain of what we'll do. The other options are to:
--Stick Mary, T., and M. all in one room (the one that has a huge closet) just for now, and later divide them up. Anna and Kaitlyn would continue sharing and we'd keep our guestroom.
--Get bunkbeds and put Anna, Kaitlyn and M. all in one room, and have a room for "the babies" (Mary and T.) Guestroom remains as is.
--Move to a house with ten bedrooms.
Haha. Just kidding. Sort of.
I honestly do love the idea of kids sharing rooms. On the other hand our guestroom does sit empty most of the time. (Hint, hint California friends, come visit! :) ) But yeah, I don't know. Hoping after we meet our girls that inspiration will strike and we can get things in order before they actually come home!
And none of this matters THAT much anyway because M. and T. will both sleep in our room in the beginning anyhow. They are so cute and I cannot WAIT to have them here, sleeping soundly in their beds.
I'm just trying to plan ahead.
Because you do these sorts of things when you're waiting on a court date to bring your sixth and seventh children home!

A the usual bloviations from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I was mightly impressed by the Phelps Scheurebe. It had a much higher acidity to it than I expected, w/o straying into the sweet/sour territory. Which is why it probably seemed so bright and youthful, despite the color. In their early yrs, Phelps mostly made the Scheurebe into an Auslese-level wine or occasionally into a TBA-level wine. I think anymore that they use their Scheurebe for the Eisrebe, a freezer-style ice wine.

Idris Elba's good news?
Idris Elba was in Johannesburg yesterday for the premiere of Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. Many members of Madiba's family were there (the film has their enthusiastic blessing) and it appears that Elba was warmly received. Madiba's wife Graca Machel greeted him by saying, "Let me hug my husband". He almost didn't make it though as he had an asthma attack on the plane and rushed to hospital just before flying over to South Africa.
In other Idris Elba news…
Thanks to "N" for tipping me off on this…
Elba was linked to a woman called Naiyana Garth a few months ago. Click here for a refresher. She tweets about him often. This is her Twitter. There are pictures of him from as recently as Halloween. He was Superman.
Three weeks ago, Garth posted these two tweets:
Is Idris Elba having a baby?

The Giants continue to negotiate with free agents Marco Scutaro and Angel Pagan, who seem to be in no hurry to sign in a slow-moving market. Something could happen ahead of next week's winter meetings in Nashville, or even at the meetings.
However, the calendar provides a more pressing issue for the Giants and one of their iconic players, 2010 World Series hero Brian Wilson, and in the worst case Wilson's days with his only professional organization could be over by Friday.
From what I hear, Wilson and the team are not exactly seeing eye to eye.
Friday is the deadline for teams to tender contracts to all unsigned players. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, any contract offer must be at least 80 percent of what a player made the year before. Wilson earned $8.5 million, so any offer for 2013 would have to be at least $6.8 million.
The Giants do not intend to offer Wilson a $6.8 million guarantee after he missed the 2012 season (save for two games in April) with an elbow injury that required his second Tommy John surgery. Wilson has done a lot for the organization, particularly his shutdown work in the 2010 regular season and postseason. He's made them a lot of money in beard merchandising, too. But the Giants believe that's a lot of money for a pitcher whose future is so clouded by health.
Wilson does not see his future as cloudy. He boasted during the World Series that he plans to be ready to pitch, for the Giants on Opening Day. Also, Wilson has had no setbacks in his rehabilitation and continues to work out under the Giants' supervision.
Here is where it gets sticky.
If the Giants do not tender Wilson a contract by Friday he becomes a free agent. Again, that seems likely to happen. The Giants still could sign Wilson and want to sign Wilson. At that point the 80 percent rule does not apply anymore. The Giants even are willing to give Wilson a major-league contract, but at a low base salary — several million dollars below $6.8 million — with incentives that would pay him a much bigger check if he is able to pitch.
But I've been told Wilson is not keen on that idea, partly because he has given so much to the organization, including the health of his arm in the pursuit of a championship, and feels he should be paid accordingly. That's completely understandable.
As a free agent, Wilson could test the market and end his 10-year association with the Giants by signing elsewhere. But if the Giants truly are willing to give Wilson a big-league contract offer, that might be the only one he gets.
Might another team swoop in and give Wilson that guarantee? In past years I'd have said no chance, but this year seems different. Teams are flush with cash, the market for relievers is not exactly strong and some team itching to spend might take the risk based on Wilson's excellence when he was healthy.
There is a precedent this offseason.
The Chicago Cubs signed former Twins starter Scott Baker to a one-year, $5.5 million contract after he missed all of 2012 after Tommy John surgery in April, the same month as Wilson's operation. Baker is six months older than Wilson. The big difference is that Baker underwent his first Tommy John, not his second.
As you can see, the Giants and Wilson have much to discuss between now and Friday.
One other Giant who might be in a similar spot is reliever Santiago Casilla (though he is healthy). His salary could rise past $3 million in arbitration, and unless he and the Giants can reach an agreement by Friday the team would have to decide whether to risk that big a payday in arbitration.
Hunter Pence also is arbitration-eligible and could make $13 million in 2013. But GM Brian Sabean is on record saying the Giants will tender Pence a contract. I would not be surprised if Pence and the Giants are negotiating a two-year deal right now.
Sergio Romo and Buster P0sey also are arbitration-eligible, but there is no urgency to work out contracts, short- or long-term, because the Giants definitely will keep them. I suspect the Giants will negotiate long-term contract with the pair (Posey's could be a blockbuster), though much later in the winter after the sides exchange arbitration figures.

It is a little peculiar. Ah well.
On the user's profile, on the right-hand side of the user's name if you hover there, you get an "edit profile" link. Then you just log into the modcp and fiddle around up in there.
its still there just theres no link at the bottom of the page.
Yeah there isn't a real need for communicating in that game til later dungeons, considering on most of them after the first there is a certain order to killing them, for example one of them involves the DPS's taking out the enemies breaking in fast whilst the Tank distracts the Final Dungeon boss, then you just keep attacking the boss until another enemy breaks through, if you ignore the enemies breaking through the healer would eventually be over whelmed and you'd all die haha.
Ahyeah of I remember rightly the first dungeon raid is cake, but even if you don't want to talk one of them might still use the chatbox to say something useful so always worth the look

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando City Council has voted to support overturning Florida's ban on same-sex marriage.
City Council members approved Mayor Buddy Dyer's proposal to file a friend of the court brief in a lawsuit set for a hearing early next month in Miami.
The lawsuit is challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage, claiming it violates the U.S. Constitution.
Orlando has a domestic partnership registry, and the same-sex partners of city workers are eligible for health insurance from the city.
The vote wasn't unanimous.
"While I acknowledge it's a very important issue. I don't think it's one we should be dealing with here," said District 1 Commissioner Jim Gray, who argued that gay marriage is a state issue, not a city issue.
District 2 Commissioner Tony Ortiz opposed the measure as well, saying he represents a conservative district, but acknowledged he has gay and lesbian friends.
"Our friendship and our love for each other does not stop because of this vote," Ortiz said.
"You can't just say you'll be my friend and vote behind my back," openly gay commissioner Patty Sheehan said. "The bottom line is equality is for everyone."
Orlando is joining with the city of Miami Beach in filing the friend of the court brief.
Equality Florida has encouraged several cities, including Orlando, to write legal briefs to accompany the cases, explaining why lifting the ban is good for the cities.

Eventually the bombers get bored and go back to hurling imprecations at one another after drinking large amounts of extremely strong coffee. Sigh. I suppose I really shouldn't joke about it, but it IS so very very very tiresome and evil. >> pvm or mpi? How difficult is it to take over a PVM virtual machine and >> insert your own binary? I suspect that it isn't that difficult, but I >> don't really know. Any comments, any experts out there? > Would compromising PVM frag a user or the whole system? I think this very much depends on the architecture and how things are set up. Some message libraries run as root, others as nobody, others as users. And compromising users isn't necessarily all that great -- it is usually the first step in compromising a network anyway. There are usually small rare carefully guarded holes at the port level as nearly everybody knows by now that leaving lots of open ports on a system is a bad idea, so there are only a very few applications that really have to be secure to keep a system safe from outside intruders. In many cases, only ssh, for example. Once an intruder has user-level access, though, they have the ability to use ALL of the applications on the system to promote to root. Suddenly there are lots of running daemons, lots of root processes, lots of suid root binaries all of which have to be exploit free to prevent promotion. These are almost invariably less well audited than primary network daemons. Again, though, the point is clear. Compute farm style grids can be made "semi-hard" -- as hard as any client/server lan with a very large and uncontrolled user base running lots of unaudited code with very nearly arbitrary libraries (in some cases users can even upload their own libraries to the system as part of their "package"). Still, the usual boundaries between users and at the network layer exist and are pretty well defended, and it is not at all easy to take over another user's process or corrupt its data stream or monitor its data stream from an ordinary user account or network PoP (assume a laptop snapped into a hot port where a bad guy has root and promiscuous network access). Inside a "true beowulf" or firewall protected not-quite-so-tight grid cluster that runs VM parallel code this is not true, because the VM libraries do not use encryption for obvious reasons and use nothing beyond the network stacks themselves for validating connections. Which in the case of UDP is virtually nothing -- connectionless and nearly anonymous save for the IP numbers in the packet headers, that are pretty much just trusted. TCP is a bit better, although I was around in the days of the Morris worm and would never bet than an ubercracker couldn't snag a TCP connection given enough time and effort. rsh is a joke as far as security is concerned (and ssh adds overhead to at least some things...). I just have little confidence that a cluster in active use, especially one that uses rsh as a base and/or bproc, is in any way "secure" against cracking. In most cases the security layer is the head node through which it is accessed, which is a de facto firewall. I don't know that people have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how hard PVM or MPI is to exploit, but as network services they are certainly pretty high up there on the list of possibly exploitable things... >> Where one is welcome to argue about what constitutes a "fast-moving" >> repository. yum doesn't care, really. Everything else is up to the >> conservative versus experimental inclinations of the admin. > How usable is the FC development repository? I don't know. My laptop is the only thing that I've got that is running FC6 yet (until post server upgrade, at which time I'll flash everything on up) and I don't screw around on a production system, which my laptop definitely is. As in I cannot afford for it to be down. I no longer use a real desk for much of anything except holding bill receipts until I can file them. My laptop, with internet access to e.g. wikipedia and google, is a large fraction of my brain. I've used it a dozen times to access information I half remember (or half forgot) and validate it in the discussion so far. I've thought about turning it on in yum long enough to nail e.g. the latest upgrade to NetworkManager, as it apparently fixes a nasty bug in the openvpn segment that causes my access to Duke's vpn to work, but only by crashing NM. I really want to be able to toggle it up and down at will, and expect that I could if I grabbed from the devel branch and/or downloaded from CVS and rebuilt. Time time time. It works well enough (and ever better). Better than WinXX's related tools that are just plain evil, especially on a user's laptop that has loaded three layers of things -- microsoft's, the laptop vendor's, and an ISP's -- all trying to provide an "easy" interface to the wireless card, and all colliding... rgb -- Robert G.

Not too long ago, I wrote the New York Mets should stand pat at the trade deadline to make a run at respectability, but with Matt Harvey gone for the year, that goal has been flushed. The gurgling sound you're now hearing is the news the Mets sent John Buck and Marlon Byrd to Pittsburgh for infield prospect Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later.
The garage sale has begun and should not stop. With the Mets' timetable for competiveness now 2015 instead of 2014, the Mets' thinking should be to stockpile as many prospects and draft choices as possible, which means it shouldn't end with Byrd and Buck.
Until the Aug. 31 deadline to make waiver deals, the Mets should be shopping Daniel Murphy, LaTroy Hawkins, Ike Davis and/or Lucas Duda, Scott Atchison and anybody else not fitting in their immediate plans.
Nobody will net a top prospect, such as what the Mets received for Carlos Beltran, but at this point it doesn't matter. It's garage sale time, so they should take what they can get.
Byrd was having a tremendous season, well enough for him to want – and warrant – a two-year deal, or one plus an option. Based on their history, the Mets would have offered one and he would walk without the team receiving compensation.
As for Buck, he evolved as Harvey's personal catcher, but his playing time was reduced with the addition of Travis d'Arnaud. Buck played the good soldier, but realistically, he performed well enough to look for a full time job.
It won't be with the Mets, and with Harvey likely done until 2015; Buck would not sit around. Catchers in a pennant race, especially those with a little pop in their bat, are valuable to a contender. The Pirates needed relief for Russell Martin, and it didn't hurt Buck has a National League background.
Buck was terrific for the Mets, but they wouldn't have gotten anything for him if he left after the season.
The Mets must now make a first base choice between Davis and Duda. It's not likely they'll tender Davis a contract, so get something now. That upside the Mets promised with Davis, well, we haven't seen it.
Duda would be cheaper, so I'm inclined to believe they'd keep him over Davis. They can't carry both, especially with Duda not playing the outfield.
Murphy is a reliable bat and could come off the bench as a pinch-hitter, and to an American League team, he has DH potential. And, does anybody believe they'll bring back Hawkins?
Just a few weeks ago the Mets were thinking about .500 and second place. With Harvey and Wheeler, the future looked bright.
Not so much now.

Liberty News
DeMoss third floor work continues
Third floor construction on the Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center is coming along smoothly.
Started in April, the project calls for more than 45,000 square feet of expanded computer lab and study space. There will be several offices and classrooms for the School of Engineering, a "quiet study zone," a conference and seminar room, computer workstations, wireless connections, restrooms and an elevator.
The new facilities should be ready when classes start next month, said Charles Spence, the school's director of planning and new construction.
The DeMoss Learning Center was originally erected in 1985 in honor of the late Arthur S. DeMoss - a generous benefactor and Liberty University board member.
The building was remodeled and expanded in 2000 and now spans 500,000 square feet over four floors. The DeMoss building is the primary academic building on campus, and most general education classes are held there.

McCutchen rescues Pirates with two late blasts
CINCINNATI -- Redemption, thy name is Andrew McCutchen.
Taking matters into his own hands, McCutchen led off the ninth inning with a game-tying homer off Jonathan Broxton and two innings later homered with two outs off J.J. Hoover to give the Bucs a 6-5 victory in 11 innings over the Reds.View Full Game Coverage
CINCINNATI -- Redemption, thy name is Andrew McCutchen.
Taking matters into his own hands, McCutchen led off the ninth inning with a game-tying homer off Jonathan Broxton and two innings later homered with two outs off J.J. Hoover to give the Bucs a 6-5 victory in 11 innings over the Reds.View Full Game Coverage
McCutchen, already an MVP, turned into lifeguard to save the Pirates on a night they saw Charlie Morton come undone in a five-run sixth.
Following his ninth career two-homer game, none of the previous likely having come under similar circumstances, McCutchen would not take all the credit.
He was mindful of the game-saving collaboration in the bottom of the 10th from Gregory Polanco and Russell Martin. With Ernesto Frieri's two leadoff walks on base and none out, Jay Bruce ripped a single to right off left-hander Justin Wilson. One of Polanco's trumpeted tools entered the shed: He fired a bullet one-hopper to Martin, whose pick-and-tag nailed Ramon Santiago trying to score from second. Wilson then used 98-mph fastballs to fan Ryan Ludwick and Brayan Pena to prolong the game.
"Yeah. ... You have to think about the throw from Polanco," McCutchen said. "If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been in that position. So him making that huge throw ... a game-changer. Kept us in the game."
Then McCutchen settled it -- to the genuine admiration of Hoover.
"He hit a slider, first pitch, well executed," Hoover said. "I can't really execute the pitch better; a good hitter beat me. I mean, first-pitch slider, the first time I've actually thrown that pitch to him and for him to put that kind of a swing on it is impressive. I just tip my hat to him."
"I was just ready to hit," McCutchen said. "Hoover threw me a slider right down the middle, I was ready to hit, and I was able to get it out."
"Big swings of the bat ... huge swings. He's a special player. He shows why," said manager Clint Hurdle, who, true to his advocacy of an even temperament, did not show the elation this game deserved.
With McCutchen's lift, the Bucs came off the mat. They also came off as the resilient bunch they are always portrayed to be, recovering not only from the earlier blown lead but from Friday's potentially devastating loss.
"We play, from the start to the end," Hurdle said. "Sometimes we're questioned, 'How do you bounce back?' We just bounce back."
After all the disappointments of the week, real and near, the Pirates now find themselves only 2 1/2 games out of first place in the tight National League Central.
Again, the first half of the game was all Pirates, as Martin lifted a pair of sacrificed flies off Mike Leake, before Leake's errant pickoff throw and Polanco's RBI single in the fourth doubled the lead to 4-0 behind a sharp Morton.
The Bucs have had some major individual implosions this season. You only had to go back a few hours for the latest, when normally unhittable Tony Watson surrendered five consecutive hits with two outs in the eighth for a 6-5 loss.
Nothing, however, may have matched the sudden and total meltdown of Morton. He entered the sixth with that 4-0 lead and having faced 16 men, one over the minimum.
Five batters into the inning, he and the Pirates trailed, 5-4.
Zack Cozart walked, on four pitches. Pinch-hitter Chris Heisey homered, ending Morton's scoreless streak at 15 innings. Billy Hamilton singled and stole second. Santiago walked. Todd Frazier homered.
"Pitches got flat, elevated. From the get-go, I couldn't locate that inning," said Morton, still somewhat in shock after the long game.
Morton had allowed a total of two homers in his previous seven starts.
Martin's dual sacrifice flies were quite the rarity. No Pirates player had turned that double since July 10, 2011, when McCutchen did it against the Cubs in a 9-1 victory at PNC Park. Martin also matched his sac fly total from 181 previous games with the Bucs.

Indiana Graduate Schools for Environment and Agriculture
Environment and Agriculture Graduate Schools are facing today's growing concern for eco-friendly business models that take people, planet and profit in mind.
Whether you want to learn more about social sustainability, food studies or agricultural science, a campus program is often a great way to go. These often infuse course content with regional issues to bring the classroom to life.
What Degrees Do Environment and Agriculture Graduate Schools Offer?
Environment and Agriculture Graduate Schools offer programs that could lead to a masters or doctorate degree. Non-degree certificates, which are available at some universities could enable one to study at the graduate level without the same commitment of a full degree program.
Under the umbrella of these graduate programs in environment and agriculture, there are a wide array of degrees and courses. Two of the broad categories to know about are:
(1) agriculture graduate programs
(2) green and sustainable energy programs.
Within these areas, students could find several options that have management-focused course lists. Either way, sustainable agriculture schools could provide an integrative education and experience which may factor in the natural, economic and social sciences.
Apart from advanced courses, graduate studies often entail some independent research, lab work, and/or internships. Plus, some food studies graduate programs are offered on campus where students may have access to organic gardens.
Together, these elements aim to prepare graduates to meet the challenges and opportunities in the multiple facets of modern agricultural, environmental, and sustainability science disciplines.
Environment and Agriculture Masters Programs
There are a variety of different Masters in agriculture, sustainability and environment. At this level of study, students may be exposed to a series of compulsory courses along with research methods and a choice of emphasis (track) on which to focus their studies.
Many Masters in Agriculture programs entail about 36 credits. Full-time students may be able to complete their program in about 2 years.
The standard educational prerequisite for applying to a Masters in Agriculture programs is a Bachelors degree from an accredited academic institution. Some schools may want to see a minimum GPA, but the bar is different everywhere. Look for a range from 3 to 3.3.
Applicants might also need to furnish transcripts, letters of recommendation, an essay, a resume and a completed application form.
Sustainability professionals seek to improve an organization's environmental, social, and economic impact. i
MSUS: Master of Sustainability
A Master of Sustainability could be a perfect option if your goal is to explore how eco-friendly systems relate to ecological, economic, social, and business spheres. For even more management courses, some students might pursue a joint MSUS/MBA degree.
Curriculums could start students off with a basic set of skills for work and research courses stacked onto foundational principles and current 'hot topics'. Concerns might include climate change, energy consumption, water pollution, urban ecosystems, children's environmental health, and agro-ecosystems.
To this point, some schools might use case studies based on local sustainability models. Chatham, a partner school, may offer a course that discusses the 'green renaissance' in Pittsburgh as an example.
From there, students might harness their strengths through electives and/or a concentration. Below is a brief synopsis of 5 of the dynamic areas that may be available. Refer to individual environment and agriculture graduate schools for more details and choices.
- Urban and Energy Systems: Students could analyze cities as systems where things like transportation, food, water, energy and waste could contribute to sustainability.
- Ecology and Resource Management: Students might study basic agro-ecological topics such as biodiversity, soil fertility, environmental statistics and U.S. Agricultural Policy.
- Business and Innovation: Classes cover non-profit, start-up and global business practices such as marketing, fund raising, and budgeting. In tandem, a course in sustainable decision analysis could discuss issues such as Ecosystem Services Valuation.
- Food Systems: Students might take courses in practical nutrition, sustainable agriculture and low impact aquaculture. A course in GIS could enable students to master the software used in food and agriculture industries.
- Policy and Regulation: Students may gain insight into how economists think about the environment. Other courses might help students create Social Responsibility reports and develop a deeper grasp of restorative environmental justice.
MS: Master of Science in Agriculture
A Master of Science in Agriculture could include coursework in research methods, statistics, and all major disciplines in agriculture. Some universities might also offer an option designed for students who want to pursue teacher certification in Agricultural Sciences and Technology.
Sustainable agriculture graduate programs may have a somewhat different focus. For instance, a MS in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems curriculum might approach modern farming techniques with an eye to reduce negative environmental impact. See below for sample topics.
- Value-Added Products
- Food Safety
- Small Business Marketing
Environment and Agriculture Certificate Programs
There are many singular themes that might be addressed in environment and agriculture graduate certificate programs. Certificates are often structured for the working professional who wants a knowledge infusion and new credentials. With fewer courses (e.g. 12 credits), students may be able to complete requirements in about one year of full-time enrollment.
Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Practices
A Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Practices program addresses the current field of sustainable design, engineering and construction of the built environment. Participants enrolled in this type of program might be exposed to a wide array of critical skills.
- LEED® Rating System
- Passive Design
- Basics of Energy Modeling
- Life Cycle Assessment
Environment and Agriculture PhD Programs
Environment and Agriculture PhD programs curriculums are often both deep and broad to enable participants to expand their knowledge base and/or study modern methods of conservation.
Sometimes, between the core and dissertation courses, participants may need to complete about 96 credits. Frequently, students are exposed to quantitative and qualitative research methods along with literature review, writing courses and lastly, independent inquiry. For some programs, most grad schools require applicants to have a relevant Masters degree, though there are certainly exceptions.
DM: Doctor of Management in Environmental and Social Sustainability
A Doctor of Management is the highest academic award for management students. Course lists tend to reflect this with compulsory topics.
- Management Theory
- Leadership Theory
- Management Ethics
- Strategy
Students might also learn about consulting and intervention, organization innovation, and scenario thinking in the required core. As well, research methods, bibliography and writing courses are there to provide guidance for students to conduct their own research project.
For the focus in Environmental and Social Sustainability, DM students could acquire the focused knowledge to guide organizational policy and action in a direction that shows concern for resources and revenue.
Graduates might therefore take away the ability to think systematically about current environmental issues. They may also gain insight into how to develop policies for their enterprise that reflect eco-positive models
In addition to the successful completion of all credit hours with an acceptable GPA, students must also satisfactorily complete and defend their research with a dissertation. Often, DM students use this research to problem solve within their technical area of expertise.
DBA: Doctor of Business Administration in Global Sustainable Management
A Doctor of Business Administration, like the DM is a practice doctorate. Participants might study to learn how to apply current business practices to the management of businesses.
Most DBA programs start students with core courses that are tailored to this goal. These are often the topics that relate to business analytics, leadership, supply chain, marketing and intellectual property. For a 'global' business theme, courses might be taught from the standpoint of international and multinational practices.
Also, for a focus in sustainable management, DBA students could develop in-depth knowledge through targeted courses, such as:
- Sustainable Lifecycle Management
- Sustainable Accounting Management
- Global Business Sustainability
To round out their studies, participants may have the freedom to customize electives from management, international business and entrepreneurship. Dissertation courses and final work could be similar to the DM degree.

How's everyone's summer so far? We hope you've been having a blast! A lot of trendy summer-loving girls adore the color coral for this season. We wear it on our nails, our clothing, and most importantly, our designer swimwear. This color packs a punch! It's nice and bright yet sweet at the same time, which is why it's the must-have color of the season. Not to mention, this color is one of the best to wear when sporting a tan! We're putting the spotlight on the stars that look amazing in this color, such as Halle Berry, a former Miss Universe titleholder, and three Victoria's Secret models. So take a look at our favorite color of the season, coral, in a number of our luxury swimwear!
The Guilty Pleasure bikini is one of two purely coral bikinis we carry, and it's no wonder this bikini is so popular during the summer months. The suit's neon coral hue is beautiful and it's got lots of glam with its gold chain and ring embellishments. Ashley Tisdale is splashing in the ocean in this gorgeous color, while Victoria's Secret supermodel Miranda Kerr is standing pretty in a coral swimsuit as well. These ladies show us that anyone can rock this color, including both blondes and brunettes. Coral is such a stunning, summery color, you can't help but relish in the fun and joy of wearing it!
Our other wildly popular bikini, the Sugar Rush in coral, is one of the best swimsuits for the summer with its screamin' color and sexy gold rings. Turn heads in this awesome suit, looking just as fabulous as Halle Berry and Doutzen Kroes look in their coral bikinis. Halle knows how to accentuate her bronzed skin wearing this pink-toned color (pink brings out your skin). Doutzen, a VS model, is looking so sweet in the color with her frilly bikini. Snatch up any style of swimwear you find in this color, 'cause everyone's always craving coral during the summer!
We've wrapped up all of our bikinis featuring ONLY coral. However, the cute color of the moment doesn't stop there, because we've also got the Indian Summer bikini that has some coral on the bottoms. You might love coral, but you may also want some other colors in the mix in your swimwear. The Indian Summer bikini is perfect for lovers of color, as it's got tons of pretty hues. Its tie-dye print is so cool and will have you looking unique against the rest of the pool or beach crowd. We spotted some other lovable gals sporting some tie-dye in their swimwear, supermodel Candice Swanepoel and former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins. They've got some coral mixed in their bikinis as well. You better not let summer pass you by without wearing the color of the season, coral!

9-19-09 PNC Park
For whatever reason, the Pirates had today's game scheduled for 12:35 PM, on a SATURDAY. Maybe it had something to do with Pitt having a football game at 6 today, but either way, it cost me a batting practice.
I got to the stadium at 10 AM, and this was the scene:
They were cutting the grass. In the meantime, there were only three other people there during the first ten minutes of season ticket holder time. Had there been batting practice, I would've been having a banner day.
Since there was nothing going on, I sat down and watched the autograph collectors scamper down to the front row whenever a Pirate player would poke their head out of the dugout.
Game: 1 ball (1 thrown)
Season: 356 balls (189 hit, 105 thrown, 62 device)
Games: 74 games (8 of which didn't have BP)
Average: 4.81 balls per game
Career: 522 balls
Streak: 89 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 20,379
Race for 400 in 2009: Need 44 in 6 games, 7.33 per game (I need a huge day soon…)
