Discussion in 'Star Trek - Original Series' started by ZapBrannigan, Mar 27, 2013.
Nah, it just means there's more action. It doesn't make the other parts of the film "dumbed down".
What it means is that there is seven hundred hours of material out there and that you have to give the audience a reason to show up and pay money to see it.
Abrams simply upped the tempo in Star Trek 2009.
And its the same stragey that was used with TWOK, which was much more action orientated than the more cerebral TMP. And it worked then too. Personally, I enjoy both approaches, so long as they are entertaining. However, I know this won't carry much weight with those who don't think TWOK is "real" Trek either.
TWOK is Shakespeare compared to ST09 which was so fucking stupid in every respect it's embarrassing. But they made a lot of money so that makes it allright.
Then again I care nothing for the Big Bang Theory or The Office either that so many rave about.
Cyberspace... The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Butthurt.
Our 5 year mission: To bitch and whine about a movie we didn't like. To explore new ways of repeating the same old shit. To boldly imply that people who enjoyed it are of a lower intelligence than we are.
Just one more year left... then you can start the mission all over again with Star Trek Into Darkness.
It may be to you and that's fine. But to me, it wasn't the best thing the franchise has put out neither was it the worst and honestly, it was much closer spiritually to TOS than much of what came later.
Neither do I. Do you want a cookie?
Well if some would stop dragging that shit into this forum and leave it in its own forum there wouldn't be a problem. There the fans of the thing could drool to their hearts content.
Thanks, but presently I'm tasting possibly the best fudge I've ever experienced. Picked it up this morning at a local craft shop where they also sell their own homemade fudge in a slew of flavours. Caramel Vanilla---Mmmmm...
Since this is a thread about the official chronology it's no surprise that Star Trek 2009 came up.
The thread's topic is the "Official Chronology". That opens it up to all films and series. Perhaps it would have been better suited to General Trek, but its here unless someone moves it.
I just come onto your lawn to take a dump whenever the 2009 toilet's broken.
No!! Changing Trek to be more like SW is a big mistake.
I don't mind big-screen Trek outings to have a tempo more like Star Wars. There's nothing like paying ten bucks to watch Picard have a conference.
Star Trek: My Dinner With Andre, would be epic!!!
Wouldn't it be My Dinner with Jean-Luc?
It's really nice we all have so many choices, and the Chronology spans every show. Perhaps the thread should be in the general forum instead if it "taints" this forum. Some of you are a real trip.
With Wallace Shawn as the Nagus?
It would only be good with Impostor Picard from "Allegiance".
What I like is that the non-existent Piotr ("Day of the Dove") might be more than a stray imagining in Pavel's head.

Andre Iguodala is the center of news when it comes to the Philadelphia 76ers.
But despite all of the talk, Iguodala remains confident and still believes he will be back in a Sixers uniform next season (if there is one).
So, why don't we try and remain on the same page as him?
I always felt, and still do feel, that Iguodala is an unappreciated character in Philly. I only believe they should trade him for the right price.
But for today's sake, I wanted to propose ways in order to keep Iguodala and pair with a star. Therefore, in any case, he will do what he does best-- complement.
With another star with the Sixers, the duo would be lethal and be great around the young lineup.
Now, to be honest, these signings or trades are unlikely to happen. But in my fantasy world of trades, they do work out financially and just may have a slim chance down the road.

A rustic mountain hideaway for the serious skier in the rugged Wasatch Mountains.
Imagine a cabin getaway created by your grandmother---smoking is not allowed, and afternoon tea is accompanied by homemade baked goods set next to the fire in the lobby. This unpretentious classic ski lodge welcomes guests with an open lobby furnished with a large stone fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows and bookcases. It is often filled with skiers chilling out after an intense day on the slopes. This lodge is functional, a place for ski fanatics to crash before getting up to exhaust themselves all over again. The rooms here range from simple dorms to modestly furnished two-bedroom suites with fireplaces. Some have refrigerators; none have TVs. More than half of the accommodations share bathrooms down the hall. Free afternoon appetizers and microbrews in the cozy upstairs hole-in-the-wall bar are popular during off-slope hours. The Alta Ski Resort provides a backdrop for the outdoor pool and family-style dining room. Breakfast, lunch and dinner---as well as lift tickets---are included in all lodging packages. The lodge is closed during the summer months.

The Poison Pill in Japan: The Missing Infrastructure
Ronald J. Gilson
Stanford Law School; Columbia Law School; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
January 2004
ECGI - Finance Working Paper No. 20/2004
Stanford Law and Economics Olin Working Paper No. 277
Columbia Law and Economics Working Paper No. 244
The fact of a small number of hostile takeover bids in Japan the recent past, together with technical amendments of the Civil Code that would allow a poison pill-like security, raises the question of how a poison pill would operate in Japan should it be widely deployed. This paper reviews the U.S. experience with the pill to the end of identifying what institutions operated to prevent the poison pill from fully enabling the target board to block a hostile takeover. It then considers whether similar ameliorating institutions are available in Japan, and concludes that with the exception of the court system, Japan lacks the range institutions that proved to be effective in the United States. As a result, the Japanese courts will have a heavy responsibility in framing limits on the use of poison pills.

Former Indiana guard Remy Abell confirmed a report from Justin Albers of Inside The Hall that he has narrowed his list of potential transfer destinations to St. Louis, St. Mary's and Xavier.
Abell said that he will take an official visit to Xavier on Friday and St. Louis on Monday. He said he's in the process of putting together a visit to St. Mary's, which he hopes will occur later next week. He hopes to make a decision on his destination shortly thereafter.
"They're all tournament teams," Abell said. "They're all great programs. They're all in good conferences. … I feel like those schools are the best for me as far as wanting to get into the tournament and get more playing time. I just want to go somewhere to get a fresh start. I felt like those were the schools where I would feel the most comfortable and the happiest."
Abell said he was also contacted by Boise State, Butler, Georgia Tech, IUPUI, LaSalle, Murray State, Providence, Southern Mississippi, Tennessee Tech, Texas El-Paso, and Western Kentucky before narrowing his list.
St. Louis and St. Mary's were both NCAA Tournament teams this season with St. Mary's winning one of the First Four games before falling in the second round to Memphis and St. Louis winning a second round game as a No. 4 seed before being upset by Oregon. Xavier did not reach the postseason this year, going 17-14, but the Musketeers have been a consistent NCAA team for more than a decade.
Abell was not specific about his reasons for wanting to transfer in the first place. He hinted that playing time was part of the reason after he averaged 12.5 minutes per game last season as a reserve guard, but he had reason to believe his role would expand with the departures of junior guard Victor Oladipo and senior guard Jordan Hulls. He repeatedly said that he simply believed he needed a "fresh start."
"People have told me and I've heard a lot of stuff about people leaving," Abell said. "I felt like I just needed a fresh start,. Everybody there, the coaching staff, my teammates and the whole school have been very supportive. I can't thank them enough. I wish them the best. I felt like I will always have a piece of Hoosier in my heart, it will always be my first school. I really enjoyed it there. … It's hard to leave a program like Indiana. It was one of toughest decisions I ever had to make. But I decided that a fresh start was what was going to make me happy."

I coached in moraga. go to st. Mary's! your basketball career isn't going further than college so go enjoy beautiful, sunny California. san Francisco is only a half-hour away. and the women? please. besides, cincy and st. Louis are holes. go west, young man…and see the world.
I also like the idea of St. Mary's. No better place for a free spirit, hard worker, cool customer, and dreamer. What was being sold at Indiana may have been too heavy for an unselfish decent heart interested more in winning than in chasing villains.
I'm very happy for the young man. I wouldn't sell him short of any his desires.
Enter Harvard and the melodramatic nonsense. "Chasing villains"…ha.
It IS a beautiful area. One of my favorites.
Hit the road, Remy. You went from Louisvile to Bloomington. Try something new.
The more I read about Remy the more confused I am. I want a fresh start and more playing time…what? My gosh, he was going to play 20 plus minutes this year. I don't see him playing much more than that at these 3 schools. I am shocked that he would not stay and compete. I wish him luck and the best but will not follow him.
I agree, If I were Remy, I would choose St. Mary's. I spent 4 years in Bloomington and 8 years in Moraga and can say both places have their pluses, but both are very different in what they have to offer. If Remy is looking for a comlete change, I second the admonation, "Go West Young man!!". But, on the other hand, I was really sad as an IU fan to see Remy leave the program.
It would be interesting to see his mpg stat once the Big 10 season began. There were stretches deep into the season that it seemed he barely saw a couple minutes per game.
There has been a lot of talking about "risk" lately.. I didn't see our backcourt as exceeding deep last season. Remy was a recruit that fell into Crean's lap just a few months before the beginning of the season(not a kid that he likely kept on his radar). If my recollection is correct, the fact that his school of original choice made a coaching change, NCAA rules allowed Remy to become immediately eligible. Remy was selected by IU as an insurance policy. It was a very lucky move for Crean and worked out pretty well for Remy. The kid saved our ass in the tournament two years ago against VCU. Without his taking care of the ball when Jordy had his meltdown, there is no back-to-back Sweet 16(nor is Sheehey allowed to be a hero with a bounding ball a rim allowing a go-ahead bucket). In all likelihood, we're not in the VCU game without Remy's coming up big in another 'thrown in the fire' episode.
And how did that level of backbone and ability to come through under pressure find its rewards…? Did he have the chance this past season to really get into the flow of any game? 12 minutes per game.
And this 12 mpg came with a smaller backcourt. Now we have bigger guards coming in that can take away the pluses a kid like Remy could provide last season.
He's making a smart move. He needs a coach/program willing to invest the time to hone his skills. He needs the time on the floor to take a body built for the game to blend into the feel, pace, and needed consistent stroke. He wasn't going to get that on an Indiana team stacked with interchangeable guards/wings with a very solid returning point guard from Indy.
Come on, JPat. Look at the total picture. Insurance policy..No real steady love in his recruitment. He wants time on the floor and he probably wants a sense of a real shot to prove himself..He wants a coach willing to give him a chance with something that could blossom into a permanent starting role or a role that finds similar minutes to what Sheehey was getting off the Hoosier bench(22 mpg).
With two years of college still on the plate, it's a very wise move. It's really his only shot at being noticed and developing his skills enough to play at the next level(or, at minimum, be an NBA/Europe longshot).
There…No cheap shots at Crean.
Harvard. Without a question, that is possibly the best post you have ever written.
Thanks, Ron…
It still fell short of anything Geoff could provide to the Yacht Club, but I still appreciate the nod of approval.
I do want to make a couple minor corrections to the first sentences of the 2nd paragraph.
There has been a lot of talking about "risk" lately.. I didn't see our backcourt as exceedingly deep last season. Remy was a recruit that fell into Crean's lap just a few months before the beginning of the 2011-12 season(not a kid that he likely kept on his radar).
I liked Remy, but he was terrible with team defense. His teammates were always on him for not switching properly and he didn't have great mechanics on his shot. I hate to bash him much, because he seemed like a great guy and he enjoyed the time on the team. Let's move on.
And you think Sheehey is strong at 'team defense?' I saw nothing better in his team defense and I saw far less in man-to-man. And Sheehey had twice the minutes on the floor to get acclimated to switching, spacing, helping, and team defense.
There's a lot of great shooters in the NBA with less-than-ideal mechanics.
Remy takes the guiding hand off the ball early. Oscar Robertson and George McGinnis had huge hands and great control with somewhat similar style(McGinnis being almost entirely a one-handed jump shooter). I think Remy would be wise to keep the guiding hand on the ball..Keep his grip soft and work on rotation off the fingertips. He gets good elevation on his jumper and I think his depth management/distance control would be better with a nanosecond longer involvement of the off-hand. Just my opinion.
"keep the guiding hand on the ball. Keep his grip soft and work on rotation off the fingertips".
Uhh ok. Uhhh – nothing, sorry. Mind was wandering for a minute.
Don't let the guiding hand slip around the front of the ball. Keep the guiding hand soft and think it in to the backside of the rim.
Rim…? What….?
I was focusing on Abell. I think his other problem with mechanics is that his shot has a "hitch" in it and makes for a really slow release.
Sheehey has his faults as well, but over all, he was a more significant player. Just my opinion, of course.
You're delightfully funny. I should have also mentioned that Remy may have a little too much cock in the elbow as well…I wouldn't overly concentrate on too many things at once. Start with getting the hand off the front of the ball and keeping the guiding hand soft.
Remy also is very skilled at penetration. Just needs to learn how to finish and absorb contact….a little too looseygoosey going to rack.
Here's a good photo depicting the "overly cocked" elbow and the off-hand wrapping around the front of the ball(which would be more evident if the arms were brought down from the peak position shown in the photo). This extra bend in the elbow takes more time, creates the extra arch in the back, forces more ball grip, and makes him shoot the ball in more of a slingshot fashion(making it very difficult for distance control).
I still start with the hands. Fix the hands and he can't bring the ball back that far.
'The Big O' had a sweet little quick release(kept it high without bringing it back excessively)…Takes a lot of wrist..a lot of hours …and sprawling spider-man hands.
Watch 'The Big O' go to one hand during a warm-up shot at the 0:48 mark of this clip. Effortless.
I'm more of a fan of correcting a release point , follow through, and foot preparation this deep into a players development. It's damn near impossible to reinvent a form once a kid gets college.
Remy's main problem is that he isn't a good enough player to ever be much more than he is… Not with the talent we'll have over the next couple years. He isn't savvy enough to play the point and he isn't skilled enough to play the 2. He is all grit and balls, which is great for a back-up or a mid-major.
I wish him luck wherever he ends up.
It is mostly release. The elbow is too cocked so he's releasing late and adding unneeded grip on the ball.
I think you're wrong about his potential. I think there's more than just "grit and balls." I believe Crean was once quoted in saying he was the best athlete on the team. That's not too shabby with guys like Oladipo in the comparison pool.
He needs time on the court to build confidence and hone the skills. I think he was tentative this year because as the mpg dwindle the "risk taking" and experimentation to take your game to full throttle gets shackled by fear of getting yanked to the penalty box/bench.
Sometimes that risk-averse tentativeness can be interpreted as lack of savvy. Time will tell. I'm obviously biased because I adore the kid's attitude and his unselfish exuberance. Hard to write off a kid that seems to love the game that much.
Go Bulls!!
Miami vs. Bulls is getting fun..Give 'em hell, Nate!
That's why I phrased the athleticism statement with "I believe Crean was once quoted…"
I'm still going to research it though..There may have been more than one quote from Crean regarding Abell's athleticism. When you're looking at overall strength(upper body and lower body), I believe he was the best athlete on the team. The kid would make a hell of a tailback.

Recap: 'Survivor: Samoa' - 'All Hell Breaks Loose'
The merge brings new hope for the Foa Foas, a new plan for Russell and a major blindside
Pre-credit sequence. Like so many episodes before it, Thursday's (Nov. 5) "Survivor: Samoa" begins with Foa Foa returning to camp after losing another castaway. It was Liz they got rid of, right? Who can keep track anymore? The only thing they have to stay upbeat about is the possibility that a merge may be coming. There are only four of them, but they're convinced they have unity, while the Galuvians are segregated. Russell is particularly confident, as Russell tends to be. "I'm too good for this game. I'm too sly," Russell says, vowing to continue to plant his seed.
9021-Oh-Not-Again. Over at Galu, Laura is eying Shambo cautiously. There's a minor controversy between Laura and Shambo involving a canteen. It's tiny, but Laura seems eager to foment discord with her tribe's leader, who keeps rambling about her tribe's "90210" clique. Shambo's feeling like the cheerleaders are picking on her. Nobody else is participating in this fight. Erik thinks that only crazy people would fight with Shambo, who's crazy herself. It's not a fight you can win.
Idol speculation. Tree-Mail tells Foa Foa that something in the game is about to change after they follow their leader. They're doing nothing but talking about a merge, reading things into the vague missive. Even though he isn't sure if a merge is pending, Russell isn't leaving camp without his Immunity Idol. He's ready to outwit.
Two become one. In the middle of the beach is a treasure chest. More shades of "Pirate Master." Jeff Probst is nowhere to be seen as the two tribes meet. They discover paint, a tarp and snazzy new blue buffs. The tribes will go back to live at the Galu camp. MickDreamy and his Foa Foa tribemates have been given a new lease on life. They've also been given a yummy feast, with chicken and cheeses and fruit and all manner of beverages. "I am on top of the world," announces Shambo, who admits her rush may just be a sugar high. Russell holds back and watches, announcing that Foa Foa is steps ahead of Galu, because they have their strategy already. "I can already see I'm going to rule this kingdom," Russell gloats.
Just a dysfunctional extended family. The "Merged Tribe" (name pending) arrives at Galu's camp. "I feel like I'm a the Hilton," Natalie announces, looking at all of the Galuvian niceties. She's seeing the perks, but she's also seeing cracks in the Galuvian unity. For vague reasons, the Merged Tribe becomes Aiga, which means "extended family" in Samoan. Erik, with his own Immunity Idol, isn't buying the unity. "Extended family? What's Samoan for 'Get the hell out of my island?'" Russell goes to work, taking his Immunity Idol around to various vestigial Galuvians, making promises. He first tells Laura that he'll give her the Idol in exchange for taking him to the Top Seven. Laura doesn't believe him and she knows that getting rid of him will require a blindside. Russell tries laying down the rules with Laura, who's having none of it. But nobody dictates rules to Russell, who decides Laura has just dug her own grave. Rebuffed, Russell wanders off and makes a similar pitch to Monica, telling her nobody knows that he has the Idol. Russell knows Monica doesn't trust him yet, but he thinks she will after he boots Laura. Then he goes and does the same with John. Now John's a Rocket Scientist, but he's also apparently a moron, as he sees the wisdom of Russell's anti-Laura agenda. "We're going to turn this game on its side," Russell tells John. He then says something about how Babe Ruth struck out more times than anybody, but he also hit the most home runs. He isn't exactly wrong. Babe Ruth led the lead in strikeouts five times and was second seven more times.
Shambo knows the word "implicitly." After a commercial break, Russell moves on to Shambo. This proves easy, since Shambo hates Laura anyway and Shambo's more than eager to turn on Laura. "I trust Russell implicitly," Shambo says. Then Russell goes to the former Foa Foas and makes it clear that Laura is the only name they're writing down. Russell's amazed with how easy this power play might be.
Who will be Babe Ruth, Russell or Laura? Russell was just making a baseball analogy minutes ago and suddenly individual immunity is a mixture of shuffleboard and t-ball. But there's a twist: Two players will receive immunity necklaces, one for the men and one for the women. "Danger" Dave begins for the men. Baseball isn't his sport, though. "Making love is my sport," Dave declares. It's a strange game, because it requires precision hitting, rather than power. Power is penalized, so all of the stronger guys fail to secure any points. Your winner? John the Rocket Scientist, beating Russell. The women are up next. Will Laura be able to foil Russell's plan this easily? Indeed she can! On the last swing, Laura claims immunity for the women. "That sucked, because I really wanted her gone," Shambo says.
Wow. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Over and over. So now what? The remaining Galuvians are amused that even in a merged tribe, Foa Foa can't win anything. Russell's new plan involves voting Monica out, but Shambo's doubtful. Russell feels like he may get targeted and the Idol is already burning a hole in his pocket. Laura tells Erik about the Idol and Erik comes up with a plan to flush the Idol out, while actually voting Jaison out. For some reason, though, John the Rocket Scientist still wants Monica out, accusing his tribe of playing junior varsity "Survivor." Erik sees some advantages to John's plan, mostly making Laura more dependent on him. Erik explains the new plan to his tribemates with only the caveat that nobody tells Shambo anything, adding "I don't give a **** if she votes for Probst tonight." Danger Dave isn't happy. Erik goes to the non-Russell Foa Foas and tells them they're safe, but only if they don't tell Russell about the plan, to flush out the Idol. Jaison, however, isn't a fan of Erik's. He wants to mobilize their votes against Erik, to blindside him. Natalie brings Jaison's plan to Laura and then to Kelly, finding them both receptive. Is Natalie an evil mastermind? And will the first elimination of the merged tribe entirely unconnected to Russell? That would be hilarious. "This is the first time that I don't know nothing," Russell says. Erik senses something, but he maybe only senses that the game is feeling too easy. He brings his own Idol just in case.
Tribal Council and more foot-shooting. We're much too early in this episode. Nearly 15 minutes for Tribal Council? I sense something strange brewing. Erik's bluster continues at Tribal Council, announcing that Foa Foa couldn't possibly mobilize the support to vote out a single Galu. "I think he's going to be surprised," Russell says. If Erik's smart, he'll know something's up. Erik goes through each member of the Foa Foa tribe describing their strategies, coming down particularly harshly on Jaison, saying he just hasn't put his brains and athleticism together. Jaison's having none of that. He gets angry and defensive, striking a defiant attitude that Erik says he likes. Jaison smirks, "I guess the point is that I don't care what you like." Wow. Even if Erik hadn't been going home previously, I can imagine every individual deciding to vote home out independently based on this Tribal Council performance. Talk about self-destructive.
The vote. Russell writes Erik's name down. We don't even see who Erik decided to vote against. Erik's post-merge performance may be the worst in "Survivor" history. Before the first vote is read, Russell says, "Everybody knows I have it, I might as well play it." One Idol is flushed out. And Russell's brilliant discovery of a clue-free Idol goes for nothing. The first two votes go against Jaison. As the next three go against Erik, his face falls. Erik's crushed. Shambo's confused. Everybody else is grinning. Oh Erik, you FOOL! Both Immunity Idols are out of the game after one post-merge Tribal Council. That's impressive.
Wow. That was pretty bad for Erik, wasn't it? But did the Foa Foas make the right play? Or should they have stuck to their own kind? And whatever happened to Russell's evil genius?

Faerie Mythology (62)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Though there were a lot of elements I enjoyed about this book - the writing style, the pacing, the main character - there were times it felt a little bit like playing Young Adult bingo. Plain jane and overlooked heroine, check. Secret destiny, check. Love triangle between boy next door and inutterably beautiful supernatural being, check. I wouldn't object to reading the next book, but I'm not running out to buy it, either.
This young adult fantasy/romance features a socially awkward girl whose family has a big secret. When her little brother is stolen, Meghan Chase must enter the Never Never with a mischievous friend and a quirky cat in order to track him down. The story draws heavily on traditional fairy lore and Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream to create a wondrous, yet believable, fantasy world.
Megan is the kind of hero we admire. She has flaws and weaknesses, but her love for her little brother spurs her on to face life and death challenges. Friendship and romance add another dimension to the story. It is suspenseful and dramatic.
I thought I knew where the story was going. I expected her father to show up in a certain manner, but Kagawa wasn't writing a predictable plot after all.
This is book one of the series. It has a satisfying conclusion to the main dilemma that leads well into the next novel.
Did NOT like this one at all. Story was just okay, but the writing really irritated me.
Excellent, already bought the second one on my nook!

"Meghan Chase has a secret destiny--one she could never have imagined. Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school or at home. When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. But she could never have guessed the truth--that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face, and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart"--P.

How I voted for the Hall – and looking for your posts
MLB.com just posted the story on how its 15 eligible Hall of Fame voters filled out their ballots, and you can see mine among the list. I voted for five: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Ken Griffey Jr., Trevor Hoffman and Mike Piazza.
The excitement of receiving a ballot that has a name like Junior Griffey's on it is the especially fun part of being a Hall voter. That is the kind of player the Cooperstown gallery room was created for — next to Ruth, Cobb, Aaron and Mays. You know that player when his five-year countdown begins and your vote is unquestionable. That brings us to everyone else on the 2016 list, and the effort to determine whether any other candidates should share the stage with him.
Neither Bonds nor Clemens exactly sweeps the Rule No. 5 categories on voting criteria, yet they are top-four all-time by position and that trumps character shortcomings. Hoffman was the first to 600 saves in an era when hitters dominated, and Piazza's election is just overdue.
Jeff Bagwell continues to be an agonizing decision, more agonizing each year due to statistical analysis and debate. I disagree with those who "cover the field" with 10 safety check marks each year, as the bottleneck has declined. I can see both sides to Bagwell, and being on the fence is not a Hall vote to me unless you are covering the field.
The 2016 Hall of Fame results will be announced at 6 p.m. ET Wednesday on MLB.com and MLB Network.
The Unbiased MLB Fan identified four names that would be on his ballot, while Sons of '84 has eight — plus a ninth vote for a write-in. Darryl of 210Sports explains the rationale behind his would-be ballot, and The First 90 Feet sees a ballot so packed that some worthy names will need to wait. The Wayniac Nation views Ken Griffey, Jr. and Trevor Hoffman as no-brainers (and hopes Tim Raines will get in at last), and Baseball with Matt adds Billy Wagner to the list of deserving former stars in their first year of Hall eligibility. The Baseball Continuum looks at the recent decision by the Veterans Committee to not induct anyone, while Statis Pro 1978 Replay looks at Alan Trammell's last hurrah and Yankeebiscuitfan argues for more closers in Cooperstown.

I had been a loyal customer for many years... the last 2 years (2011~2012) were nightmares for me. They are not competent to resolve IDX issues (which is the Heart of a real estate website) for 18 months!!! Each time you email, online chat, or call, they always come back with reasons to further delay to correct. While I had more then given patience and extended time hoping they would correct the issue, I was debited $109 each single month (from credit card) for an website without the "Heart"!!! My countless calls, online chats, emails (I kept good threads) didn't help!!! WORST part is I spoke to and emailed to cancel my account on 6/28/12 (cannot tolerate any more), I was still charged each month to date!!! I kept receiving Outstanding Balance notice from Z57. My phone call and email to Derek Farrar at Z57 explained everything and included complete email records on 11/21/12 to confirm once again with Derek that he'd make sure my account is canceled.
On 11/26/12, I received email from Nathan Corliss of Z57 confirming my account being canceled, but still keep receiving bills from Z57!!! The UGLY part is they keep billing and accessing my credit card even after I reported unauthorized debit to my credit card company! They are so sneaky and debited my older credit card in their records! I had reported the incident of the unauthorized charges to my credit card company and had to close my credit card accounts to prevent Z57 from keep doing this! Z57 is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!! I just received a letter from Z57 today that they are sending my account to collection if I do not settle with them for the $109 balance immediately. WTF!!! I am reporting this to Dept. of Consumer Affairs! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH Z57!!!

Product Reviews
Good mirror
I was taking a gamble on this one because it was unreviewed but figured I would give it a try. I wasnt disappointed. I believe the description stated it would be black but the frame is more a reddish/brown. The calligraphy is in black. Regardless it looks good and is tastefully made. Was also fearful it may be a little over the top tacky for an asian piece but I am happy with purchase.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
- How accurate was the sizing? Good

Rented a car from this company. Horrible service. Don't even think of renting through them. There are a lot of better options. Driven by mistake through a ezpass fast lane in NH. Was charged $50 fee for processing a violation of only $2. When tried to speak with them, I received a rude response, saying that I was wasting their time and that the $50 fee is exactly for speaking over the phone with them.
They have charged a huge fee for not returning the car full of gas, although I was told to return it 1/4 full. They have reimbursed me for that eventually but wasted my time calling them for that.
If you don't want to deal with extra charges and find your vacation ruined, please do yourself a favor and find another place to rent a car.

Central Scottsdale location makes up for small imperfections.
On the edge of Old Town, within walking distance of Fashion Square and a number of trendy restaurants, this all-suite property is one of the best values in the area. Add a complimentary hot breakfast buffet and a Monday-through-Thursday social hour, and the value is even better. A 24-hour convenience store and shopping service make it possible to whip up a snack in your suite without leaving the hotel. One-bedroom suites have high-speed Internet access, fully-equipped kitchen and a separate bedroom with king or two double beds. In two-bedroom suites, each bedroom has its own bathroom, ideal for business associates traveling together, or a family. A heated pool, whirlpool and fitness center and complimentary shuttle service within a 5-mile radius add to the hotel's appeal. Small imperfections, like no hand lotion or shower caps provided, easily can be overlooked. Function rooms accommodate small business meetings.

Is this weird to be 33 weeks and still havent leaked breastmilk?? I have 2 prior kids but i can remember producing milk around this time? Anyone else??
33 weeks pregnant and still NO breastmilk or colostrum produced
Comments (5)
Posted 03/02/2012
You actually shouldn't have milk yet. If you were still bf, your hormones would have already told your body to switch to colostrum from milk, and milk won't come in until a few days after baby's birth - another hormone switch. That one is activated by the hormones of birth. So, it would be possible to produce colostrum at this point, but I think is not very likely yet if you weren't recently bf. I remember in the last month or so I couldn't get a drop if I squeezed, but DH could get some when suckling during foreplay.
Posted 03/02/2012
I didn't have anything until labor so I can't see it being a problem for you this early on :)

I never leaked anything either. Milk didn't come in until 4 days post partum and then I breastfed for 13 months! It doesn't mean anything.
Posted 03/02/2012
I had milk 5 days after DS was born. I had no idea if colostrum was there, I just assumed it was.
Posted 03/02/2012
I had colostrum around 8 months only noticed in shower if i squeezed a little. My milk came in 4 days after my daughter was born and now thankfully they aren't so painful!

This seems to be a good solution to the ugly Woocommerce emails. Can this be used to beautify those if I choose that the Woocommerce are plain (not html)?
This seems to be a good solution to the ugly Woocommerce emails. Can this be used to beautify those if I choose that the Woocommerce are plain (not html)?
I'd say yes but I'm not sure Woocommerce lets you choose plain text.
Have a look at this topic :
Yes, it works with WooCommerce. Go to WooCommerce Settings (actual version) and set every Email to "send as plain text", and it will works..
@samandella, @hellonico, @BBIndikator
I was struggling with this for a while - initially I selected "plain/text" for all of the WooCommerce emails, but the emails definitely lost style points. Then I dug a bit deeper into the code and figured out a way to hide the WooCommerce email headers, have WPBE not use the functions that break the HTML because the content type is "text/html", and then hook into "phpmailer_init" after WPBE to selectively apply the template to WooCommerce HTML formatted emails. I'm using create_function() but you could also use anonymous functions.
I wrote it up on my website here: http://justin.ag/technology/wordpress/using-wp-better-emails-woocommerce-email-templates/
// Determine if it's an email using the WooCommerce email header
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_header', create_function( false, 'add_filter( "better_wc_email", "__return_true" );'), 1 );
// Hide the WooCommerce Email header and footer
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_header', create_function( false, 'ob_start();'), 1 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_header', create_function( false, 'ob_get_clean();'), 100 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_footer', create_function( false, 'ob_start();'), 1 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_footer', create_function( false, 'ob_get_clean();'), 100 );
// Selectively apply WPBE template if it's a WooCommerce email
function better_phpmailer_init( $phpmailer ){
if ( apply_filters( 'better_wc_email', false ) ){
global $wp_better_emails;
// Add template to message
$phpmailer->Body = $wp_better_emails->set_email_template( $phpmailer->Body );
// Replace variables in email
$phpmailer->Body = apply_filters( 'wpbe_html_body', $wp_better_emails->template_vars_replacement( $phpmailer->Body ) );
add_action( 'phpmailer_init', 'better_phpmailer_init', 20 );

Street entertainers, lively markets and world–class dining
Fancy an All inclusive holiday to Marrakech? Your flights, hotel and meal costs are covered – so you can explore one of the greatest cities on earth, worry–free...
On an All inclusive holiday to Marrakech, your big costs are sorted. Once that's the dealt with, the spice–filled souks, chic nightlife and world–famous squares are all yours. Here are our top 5 things not to be missed
Lively entertainment doesn't even begin to describe the goings on in Jemaa el–Fna at night. All sorts of entertainment from snake charmers to acrobats and drummers kick in around sundown, entertaining the crowds. What's more, sizzling food stalls spring up out of nowhere, handing out steaming bowls of spicy tagine and cous cous. There's the odd bit of street theatre, too.
Just off Jemaa el Fna you'll find this massive, winding market where the air is thick with energetic bartering. Bring out your inner Del Boy, and you could pick up a bargain on anything from an exotic woven carpet to brightly–coloured spices.
There's an air of exclusivity to Marrakech's clubs and bars – it's all minimalist deacute;cor, egg chairs and elaborate cocktails. Up until around midnight, most revellers are slinging a cocktail or 2 on Boulevard Mohammed VI. Then, it's time for the big clubs to take the reins, pumping out techno, trance and house until the sun comes up.
Strike out from the city and see some real desert scenery at Ourika Valley. It's 30 minutes' drive from Marrakech and chock–full of pretty waterfalls and sun–burnt gorges. Wildlife–lovers can find all sorts here, like geckos and falcons. The little Berber villages strewn about the place have great cafés and restaurants for a snack stop.
For the best seafood around, take a trip to coastal Agadir. It's a 2–and–a–half hour drive through the Moroccan countryside to get there, but it's worth it for the long, sandy beach. The seafood here goes from net to plate at lightning–fast speed – it's one of the biggest fishing ports around. And, at the beachfront eating spots, you can usually get it barbecued up in front of you.

International Helmet Awareness Day
0 Comments
International Helmet Awareness Day is Saturday, August 1, 2015.
What is International Helmet Awareness Day?In 2010, Riders4Helmets hosted the first national event designed to educate equestrians on the benefits of wearing a properly fitting, secured and certified helmet. The event brought over 300 U.S.-based retailers and eight helmet manufacturers together, to help educate their customers on topics such as correct helmet fit and why wearing a helmet is important.
Since that day, Riders4Helmets has expanded the event globally. International Helmet Awareness Day 2014 received support from 16 helmet manufacturers and equestrian retailers in twelve countries.¹
See some of our antics from previous years' Helmet Awareness Days.
