The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated For September 28, 2014 )
The first Washington No Hitter since 1931!
No Washington Nationals pitcher has ever thrown a no hitter. The last one thrown representing Washington? Bobby Burke, who no hit the Red Sox in August of 1931.
That's all over now!
Jordan Zimmermann threw the first Washington Nationals no hitter (and the first in Franchise History since Dennis Martinez's perfect game as a member of the Montreal Expos.)
9 complete, 1 walk and 10 strikeouts of the Marlins, who for the second straight year end the season on a no hitter. Last year Henderson Alvarez won 1-0 over Detroit. This year the Marlins LOST 1-0.
Odd symmetry.
Safe to say, Jordan Zimmermann looks solid for this post season.
It is time to update my list!
A Regional World Series In 2014? NYY/BOS/ATL Maybe All Out Of The Playoffs For 1st Time Since 1989
Chuck Booth (Owner/Lead Analyst), with a heavy assist for the idea to Josh Robbins: Follow @chuckbooth3024
Follow The MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
The Nationals and Orioles both locked down their respective league's East Division's last night. Could it be a possible Beltway World Series?
Or how about a Freeway Series (I-5) between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels Of Orange County near Disneyland and Fullerton (or whatever Arte Moreno's team us called now).
If that doesn't tickle your fancy, maybe iconic close series of 1985 and 1989 respectively, meaning the I-70 series (KC vs STL) or the Bay Bridge (Earthquake Series), between the A's and Giants.
Both of those winning clubs have not won the Fall Classic since those years.
Even Detroit and Pittsburgh are only 284 Miles apart, should they have a chance meeting.
Who is not here for the 1st time in 20 years – will probably be the Braves (whose playoff chances are on fumes), and the Yankees/Red Sox all failed to have at least one representative of those 3 in the Post Season since 1989, when the Cubs, Dodgers, A's and Blue Jays made the playoffs.
2009 was the last time teams within close proximity to each other squared off in the World Series – when the Yanks took out the defending champion Phillies in 6 games.
The Yankees/Mets 2000 "Subway Series" was the last time two teams in the same city played in the Fall Classic, something the 2 Los Angeles squad's could do.
The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated For September 1, 2014 )
Hey Phillies Fans! You finally have something to cheer about!
I bet when Jonathan Papelbon didn't get dealt this trade deadline, he didn't think he would be closing out a no hitter.
Cole Hamels gets his name in the no hitter ledger, but now so do Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Papelbon of all people. A 7-0 win for the Phillies was NOT exactly what the Braves needed right now, but the Phillies have a highlight for the season.
Sadly that means taking Roy Halladay's Division Series no hitter off this list, but oh well. History waits for nobody, especially not Jake Diekman,
It is time to update my list!

How All Of The Nationals Hitters Were Acquired: 2014 Roster Tree
How All Of The Nationals Hitters Were Acquired:
By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
Follow MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
The Nationals came over to Washington from Montreal, Quebec, Canada to start the 2005 year. It took several last place finishes to stockpile draft picks, in order for this club to turn its fortunes around.
Aside from offensive lineup signing key Free Agents Jayson Werth and Adam LaRoche in recent years, the club has been built within.
Some of the players like Wilson Ramos, Denard Span, Asdrubal Cabrera and Jose Lobaton were acquired from other teams with Draft Picks the Nats had already selected.
This team has been competitive since the beginning of the 2011 year, and made the franchise's 1st playoff appearance in 2012, after a 31 Year absence.
Much will always be made about the Stephen Strasburg decision, and the only way to alleviate those causes and concerns – is for the team to win the World Series Title.
The ownership changed the culture of the team when he inked Werth to a 7 YR deal worth $126 MIL prior to the 2011 campaign. It shifted the 1 – 8 lineup with a new direction.
While the 1st year wasn't kind to the former Phillies player, he has been an above average OF since, posting a near .300 Batting Average – with a high OBP and nice SLG% that falls within his career numbers.
The team has even withstood constant injuries to Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman this season. to lead the NL East right now. Read the rest of this entry
MLB Expansion, Possible Destination: Portland, Oregon

MLB Expansion Destinations: Portland Oregon
The second city I think is a contender for MLB expansion is Portland Oregon. I think that MLB in the next 8 or so years will expand to 32 teams with one team absolutely somewhere on the west coast.
I think the west coast is a necessity due to division alignment and that the Astros who are located in the central time zone are in the American League West. Which West Coast team is the answer that we don't know about yet.
I will Clarify that Portland WILL NOT receive the Oakland Athletics!!!!!!!!!!!
Portland due to high precipitation will require a retractable roof stadium. I would make the stadium kind of funky like the young "hip" town of Portland which is commonly referred by its natives as "Portlandia". Read the rest of this entry
The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated For Tim Lincecum, June 25, 2014)
Is Tim Lincecum done? NOT TODAY!
The Giants needed to have a decent pitching performance and give their bullpen a break. What did they get? A masterpiece from Tim Lincecum. For the second straight season, Giant fans can say "Tim is not a Cy Young contender anymore, but at least he gave us a no hitter this year.)
The list of Giants pitchers with more than one no hitter? It is short but impressive:
Christy Mathewson
Tim Lincecum
Good company to be in.
And like last year, Lincecum did it against the Padres, the only remaining franchise without a no hitter.
(Yes, I know, the Washington Nationals haven't had a no hitter either. They had no hitters when they were the Montreal Expos.)
It is time to update my list!
The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated For Clayton Kershaw, June 18, 2014)
The second Dodger no hitter this season!
Well Josh Beckett didn't last long on this list! Less than a month ago, Beckett threw the first no no of the year. Tonight, the ace of the Dodger staff showed the Rockies why he is a multiple Cy Young winner.
In fact, only Hanley Ramirez's error kept him from being perfect.
It is safe to say that he will take it.
Still no San Diego Padres nor Washington Nationals no hitter yet (although the Nationals franchise have no hitters as the Expos and the city of Washington had some with the Senators.)
It is time to update my list!

Could The Toronto Blue Jays Turn Into The Canada Blue Jays + Play In Montreal And Vancouver As Well?
By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
Follow MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
I must be out of my mind right?
Having the Toronto Blue Jays play in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver during a regular season – and re-brand the club to a national team in the MLB? But stop and think about this for a minute.
The club just drew almost 100K total fans for the 2 exhibition games in Quebec on Mar.28 and Mar.29/2014.
This just reaffirmed my stance of last week. I admonished the MLB for not starting the season with this series in Montreal.
Having thought about it further this weekend, I came up with a new idea. Why not play some games in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver – and name the club the Canada Blue Jays? Read the rest of this entry

The Toronto Blue Jays Could Be Facing Yet Another Challenge For Payroll

Follow The MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
It was a big reason the Montreal Expos are no longer in the MLB anymore. It also affected the only Canadian franchise left for that same stretch.
I am talking of course about the Canadian Dollar.
Luckily for Toronto, the last 6 years have been decent for the exchange rate.
The mark has fluctuated predominantly between .94 -.99 cents per US Dollar from 2008 – 2014.
This is even more crucial for the Blue Jays considering they reside in a tough AL East with payroll powerhouses Boston and New York. Read the rest of this entry
The Best Teams In The MLB From 1980 – 2013: The Biggest Question Is, Who Owns 2004 – 2013, BOS or STL?
By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
Follow MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
There is only so much one can read in an article, otherwise I would make these lists up from the turn of the 20th century.
If you gave me enough time as a reader, I promise to backdate this topic with another article featuring the best teams dating back further in years.
Eventually, all of the years may be dissected and we can have a healthy debate on some of my selections. I really started watching baseball in the early 1980's.
As I became older and discovered ways to research the history of the game, my knowledge and curious mind grew for more information.
I have studied and read baseball stat books and breezed through the odd Bill James novel.
If I ever take a break from writing or baseball park chasing, I may find some time down the road to watch the 9 part PBS documentary that Ken Burns did on baseball's history.

The Minnesota Twins Players, Organizational Affiliates, Prospects + Depth Charts (MLB + MiLB)
By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): Follow @mlbreports and Jeff Kleiner (Salary, Roster and Depth Chart Expert for the MLB) – visit his website here Follow @prosportsroster
The Minnesota Twins have had 3 – 90+ Losses Seasons in a row. This came right on the heels of the franchise having made the playoffs 6 out of 9 years.
All of those Post Season Appearances were made as Division Champions from the AL Central.
The Twins had enough smarts about them to understand where they were in the 1990's. The management knew the club was better off building within – rather than spending via Free Agency.
From 1993 – 2000, the team never finished better than 4th in the Division they played. The club drafted really high for this time period, and had a nice renaissance by the time 2001 started.

A year has almost gone by since big blockbuster move made by the Miami Marlins and the Toronto Blue Jays.
In a bullet version of this story, the Miami team only finished with 7 wins less than the 2012 version of themselves, yet they have stockpiled many of young assets, and all for about a one-third of a payroll they had last year.
Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and R.A. Dickey (parlayed by throwing Travis d'Arnaud and former Marlin John Buck via trade) had average years only, and Emilio Bonifacio was eventually moved to Kansas City for bad play.

Lets just take a look at the teams that have played well above their value. The Twins are a story much like the Marlins in 1997 and 2003.
The Twins had a good team in the late 80's, and won 2 World Series Titles in 1987 and 1991. However the economics of the game hit them hard, and they struggled for an 8 year stretch in the AL Central.

Add Another Season Of Misery For The City Of Washington: 80 Years + 3 Franchises Have Disappointed

Follow the MLB Reports on Twitter Follow @mlbreports
On Oct. 1, 1971 in the last game played by the Washington Senators at RFK Stadium, fans began tearing apart the stadium and field to claim souvenirs. Much like the current Washington Nationals are tearing apart Washington, D.C.
A lot is made of the Chicago Cubs (not winning a World Series since 1909 – or playing in one since 1945) and Boston Red Sox decades long pursuit of World Series titles and the pressure from it – before knocking the monkey from their back in 2004.
But that cannot compare to the pressure of being in town without baseball for 33 years – and having not played in the World Series at all since the Joe Cronin led 1933 squad lost.
From 1971 – 2004, Thirty-three World Series champions were crowned without a team from Washington, D.C. even entering the fight.

The Humidor Effect On Baseballs At Coors Field: 11 Years In

By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
In the first 10 years of Coors Field, or the Rockies existence for that matter, the baseballs were being belted out of the park at a historically record rate.
Some of this was due to the steroid era. Most of it was arrived at by the dry air of Colorado.
The reason is simple, in dry air the ball travels further than in thin air, thus causing more frequent home runs.

Once we figure out the origin of how many trades going back in time it takes to see where the tree started, it will be time to dissect how the team fared on the deals.
If a player has never left the organization at all, the tree will be easy – as it will just be the year they were drafted or signed.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process whereby the earths lower atmosphere is warmed because of the gases which trap heat. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation (…Heat), in particular, UV, visible white light, and infa-red radiation. Some of the heat is reflected by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by the gases, and some reaches earth. Some is reflected back from the ocean, and some other radiation is given off from the earth, however not all escapes back out into the big black space, some of it is trapped by the encompassing greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, water vapour, and halocarbons (Only polar bonds can absorb infa-red radiation, hence diatomic oxygen or nitrogen are not greenhouse gases).
Now us, as humans, are pretty much stuffing up this system because of our excess production of greenhouse gases, causing more heat to be trapped, warming the earth. This is the enhanced greenhouse effect, and it's what's been causing all the talk of global warming.
Carbon dioxide is produced for transport, and power, primarily by the combustion of fossil fuels. Methane is produced from the anaerobic breakdown of plant material, and is in excess due to farming of cattle, growing of rice and farming of sheep. Nitrous oxide is produced due to the reduction of nitrates by microbes, and is because of nitrogenous fertilisiers used in agriculture.
The enhanced greenhouse effect has many environmental consequences:

I've been seeing this guy from school for a couple months: three to be exact. From the moment we've met he's been interested in having sex, especially after he found out that I am a virgin and now he wants to be my first. He's pressuring me for pictures and oral sex, which we did but now he's pressuring me more for full on sex. We're not dating or in a relationship, all he says is that we're connected, which I don't understand. A couple days ago he said that he would give me 8 weeks to decide if I am gonna have sex, which will be in March.
He's the first guy to give me any sort of sexual attention, any attention more like it, I've always felt unsure of myself because I'm not a size six. I want to have sex, but with him I feel as if giving into finally have sex will just end up becoming sex and then the door. I don't want my first time to be a one night stand affair, he's assured me that it wouldn't be that way, but he's a guy looking for some. I'm real confused about what I should do with him. I want more than just sex, but I feel as if I wait it out long enough a relationship will grow. Please give me some help.
I'm 15 and my bf told me about a week ago that he thought I should be loosing my virginity and a few days ago I did. I was ok with this and only said once that if it was ok with him I'd like to stop (the way he was looking at me was creeping me out), but it wasn't ok with him so he kept going. Afterwards I really creeped out and for some reason I started crying all over the place, which I can't explain. He doesn't get this either and got really upset about it. I wanna make things back up with him so I've said that we can try again and that I wont react so badly. Is there anyway I can calm down enough so that I don't upset him again by freakin out? Hope you can help xxx
I know that it takes a woman up to 7 years, after having intercourse to become a virgin again. Is that true? Is it also the same for a girl between the ages of 12 and 15? If they are both true, could you please explain to me how that happens? If you could get back to me as soon as possible that would be fully appreciated.
I seem to not be able to feel any sort of pleasure from anything sexual. I'm 17 and have never been able to achieve an orgasm. It hurts being fingered. I've never been able to masturbate, because I could not keep focus or it started hurting. It also feels too awkward. When my boyfriend tried doing it, it hurt. He tried giving me oral sex, but that was painful. I tell him it hurts, and he tries to go as gently as he can, but it still hurts. I'm frustrated because I get no satisfaction, and my boyfriend's self esteem is damaged because he thinks it's his fault. We lost our virginities to each other a couple of months ago. It hurt a lot the first two times. After it stopped hurting, it just felt like nothing. I didn't have the heart to tell my boyfriend until recently that I don't feel anything. Now he's really upset because he feels like a pig and that he used me. He says I subconsciously don't love him, and that's why I don't feel anything.
It seems like I'm the only one with the problem of not being able to feel anything during sex AND clitoral stimulation hurts.
Okay, well here is the thing: I'm a girl and I'm so afraid to be in a relationship for too long, because I think that I'm going to have to have sex. I know that my boyfriend right now wants it, but I really don't. He says he'll wait for me, but I'm still scared. I don't think that I will ever be ready to do it, and so I'm worried. What if I am NEVER ready?!
My boyfriend (20) and I (19) have been together for three years. We really do love each other and so we decided to have sex about two years into our relationship. First things were great, but a few months after we had been having sex regularly he changed his mind. He said he liked me better when I was innocent and that he hated what we did. He stopped all those cute romantic things like telling me I was pretty and writing me love notes. No matter how hard I try, I can't get him interested in me again. He used to tell me he was going to marry me and we always talked about the future and everything but now he just says he doesn't know what the future will be. Obviously, had I thought this would happen we wouldn't have had sex in the first place but since I'm stupid... we did. What do I do? To call it quits after three years is just too much for me to handle... but I can't live like this anymore. HELP!
I've done my reading and I know this problem has been addressed several times... but I still do not have an answer! Until I read this site I thought I was the only girl who couldn't reach orgasm from sex (so thank you!) I now realize I am not, and understand that nothing is wrong with me, but it still sucks! I don't want to spend my life never being satisfied by sex. It is extremely frustrating for me, as well as I know it is for my partners who spend so much time and effort trying to satisfy me. I know it is hard to generalize because all women are different and enjoy different things, but aside from the common "find out what you enjoy" answer, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me anything that may be able to make a person like me orgasm from sex! I just want to be able to enjoy sex, and when you know your not going to be fully satisfied it gets boring pretty quick. I feel like I am always being teased! Yes, men can make me come from outer stimulation, but it takes a very long time, and we all no boys are impatient. So because I very rarely get to fully enjoy sex I am getting all excited just to be let down. At this point I am considering giving up intercourse all together! Please help me! I don't know what else to do!
I'm 17. I love my girlfriend. Really. Real love. Love as in "I want to marry you. I want to respect you. I want to commit my life to you." We brought up the topic of sex a few months ago, but it didn't go any farther than "How do you feel about it?" From that little talk we concluded that it was something we both wanted to do.
That was nearly three months ago and I want to talk about it. Nothing dirty or anything, I just want to know how important (or how un-important) it is to her. I want to know that she wants to have sex with me because she loves me, not because she feels she has to. The problem is...I don't know what to say or what to do to bring it up to her. I fear she might think that I'm trying to tell her that I am waiting and begging for sex, which I am not. I'll wait for her forever. Any advice?
Im 13 and a vigin and my boyfriend is 13 and not a vigin, and we're 100% ready 2 have sex, but the problem is that hes in south carolina and im in minnsota. Wen I lived in sc he went 2 my skool and we never talked. But there was a girl that would always say bad stuff about him, like hes slept wit every girl in the skool and hes such a bad guy, blah blah blah. so 1 day i messaged him on myspace and i gave him my number 2 txt me. i wanted 2 hear his side of the story. we got 2 no each other and we fell in love. im just worried that hes not done with his cheating ways, n that after we have sex hes gunna leave me. 1 of his ex's says that hes telling her that he doesnt love me and that he wuld cheat on me, but it depends on who. and that hes jus using me. idk wat 2 believe anymore!! i love him with all my heart and we believe were soulmates!!! ive never felt like this b4. and he says the same thing. my question is: how do ik he is gunna change and not leave me? and how do ik hes not jus tellin me wat i wanna hear? he says that im gunna b perfect in bed, but im jus so worried that im not gunna b as gudas he hopes. how do ik i'll b good? i really need 2 no!! im desperatly confused and dk wt 2 do!!!! my mom says he means wat he says 2me and that she's been threw sumthin like this. my heart says to stay with him and my gut says that stay with him but yor gunna get hurt. i jus dk. i really need help!!

Our Mission
The Building Blocks for Kids' mission is to improve the quality of life for children with health-related needs that are not being met due to a lack of insurance, government funding, and/or family resources. We assist our families by finding alternative resources for them and/or by providing financial assistance for the need. However, even when funds are scarce, the fact that we continually try to find resources for our families gives them hope that there is still someone out there trying
to help them after so many doors have been closed in their face.
Since 2003, BB4K has assisted more than 350 children with a variety of needs including therapy, therapy equipment, hearing aids, communication devices, home modifications, vans with wheelchair lifts, special beds, displacement costs when needing to see a specialist in another city, adaptive bikes, adaptive strollers, seizure dogs, and so much more!

Updates on Policy and Procedures:
Background Checks – With changes to V-LINC comes changes to volunteer policies. During the course of renewing volunteer membership (with no more annual dues! HOORAY!) and ongoing training and orientation we will be running background checks, with your permission of course. This is to better define our liability to our clients as well as other volunteers and employees. It is not meant to offend anyone or intrude on anyone's privacy, I cannot stress that enough. We do hope that you might help pay the $7 fee (in lieu of those dues) when you go on-line to complete your background check information – more on this later.
Visiting possible/current clients – Another change to our policies is to have at least 2 people present when visiting a client, unless of course you are in a public place (school, mall, etc). The two people does not necessarily mean two volunteers, just some combination of responsible adults that would equal 3 including the client. This again is to better protect our clients and define our liability by implementing some simple risk management procedures.
Volunteer Hours – Not really new or an update but a reminder that all hours should be tracked and turned in at quarterly dates (the next one is December 31st). If you didn't submit your hours at the end of September, please do so now!
Lockheed Martin – Randall Turner, team leader at Lockheed has become a new member of PRAC! His team has made great progress on two of their most recent projects. With one being a tricycle for a young man with Cerebral Palsy and another being an assistive walking system for a young girl with Rett Syndrome. The Team has already made visits to each family and assessed the needs of the individuals and have already started working on solutions for them. They are having a bake sale among other efforts to raise funds for both projects. We wish we could be there to buy a cake! And we look forward to seeing the completion of both projects!
Harford County's Most Beautiful Person – Michael Rodowski, one of our Harford County team members and CST member, was recognized with the "Ripple Effect Award" as Harford County's most beautiful person this year. He was recognized Thursday, October 7that an event dedicated to recognizing outstanding individuals in volunteer service. His work here at V-LINC and the enormous amount of time he has been involved with volunteering (over 200 hours in '09!) lead to his nomination and the winning of this award. CONGRATS MICHAEL!

Even today many customers are not aware of the fact that they have to surrender their old cheque books for CTS cheques.

Basque Dance
Dance is a key part of Basque identity. Progressively freed from traditional practices, today it has been given a new meaning: participation, integration, social interaction and conviviality.
Both highly technical and popular, spontaneous and cultural, Basque dance reflects the complex nature of Basque society which cannot simply be reduced to archetypes.

Experts Say Cruise Ships Are Vulnerable
Despite criticism following incident near Africa, cruise lines defend security plans
But Petersen, the security consultant, doubted that was the case. Pirates, he said, would have tried to disable the ship's steering and propulsion if they were trying to board. Witnesses, however, said the attackers shot grenades at the passengers.
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Monday that the attackers might have been terrorists.
Either way, cruise lines fear that their image as safe havens of fun could be tarnished. After the Achille Lauro hijacking, the eastern Mediterranean cruise market had a sharp decline in traffic. The Sept. 11 attacks forced cruise companies to offer heavy discounts to lure leery passengers onto ships, and ticket prices are only now getting back to pre-attack levels as the industry is having a year of record profits and traffic.
Because no one was killed in the Spirit attack, travelers probably won't be spooked, said Jeff Sharlach, chairman and CEO of The Jeffrey Group, a public relations firm that runs crisis management teams for companies like FedEx Corp.
"You want to avoid making it into a bigger news story than it is naturally. Sometimes if you respond too aggressively, you make it more frightening than it is," said Sharlach, whose company doesn't work with cruise lines.

text: So I got married yesterday, it was suppose to rain all day.. Earlier that morning on our way into town to pick up socks and undershirts it down poured. I was a little disheartened by it, however I just had this feeling that everything was going to work out the way it was suppose to, and my gosh it just turned out so swell. From not being able to see Mount Katahdin in the background to seeing it so perfectly, I honestly couldn't of asked for a better day. Humbled is a word that comes to mind when I think about this weekend, all the many guests who took the time out of their day to come and spend it with Noelle and I, just humbled me.. We had people from all over the place in the middle of no where maine. People traveled from Florida, Wisconsin, Massachusetts (obviously with her family :D), Vietnam!! And Canada.. All congregated in the middle of no where Maine, on the lake where I am most at home. Hailey and Joel did an amazing job photographing everything and everyone. The DJ stayed a couple of hours free, and my groomsmen paid for 2 hours over time just to keep the party going with some music. All in all I can't thank my family enough, without both sides of the family working together and the help of friends this wedding wouldn't of happened and I am forever grateful for that. I'm exhausted and am taking a huge nap :) #personal#maine wedding#hailey tash photography#my wedding1 year ago / 4 notes

But something disturbing is going on beneath the campus' tranquil surface: A melodious voice has been forever silenced. This year the administration decided to ban animals from buildings. Why now? Have professors' pets suddenly become dangerous? Or is there something more insidious going on?
When I first heard that animals had been banned from buildings, I set out to find out why our beloved pets were no longer welcome on campus. Art Professor Matt Rohn pointed me in the direction of the squirrels, and, quite frankly, I think he's on to something.
Without dogs on campus, the squirrels have life a lot easier. They are free to roam wherever they please, at whatever pace they choose. Campus squirrels are slowly becoming more and more brazen, and I would not be surprised if it becomes common for Oles to have to sprint to class for fear of being pelted with acorns, or otherwise attacked by squirrels.
Although I admit I would probably enjoy seeing that girl with the perfect hair run blindly to class with a squirrel on her head, I am not looking forward to acorn-shaped bruises.
So is the new pet policy the first move in the squirrels' eventual takeover of the Hill? Or are there other factors at play? The more I think about it, the more I can't help but shake the feeling that Olaf's own preoccupation with appearance may have played a role.
Oles are instantly recognizable around Northfield for their impeccable hygiene and clean-cut style. Given this attention to aesthetics, I could easily see the administration banning pets out of simple concern for appearances. Animals have basic needs (if you don't know what I'm talking about see the children's book "Everybody Poops") and those needs would add an unsightly aspect - - not to mention aroma - - to our beautifully groomed hill.
If professors were continually allowed to bring pets to campus, Olaf would become a veritable minefield of droppings, which, of course, are distinctly unfriendly to heels and to flip flops, the Ole footwear of choice.
In the end, what caused this policy shift? The increasing pressure of the squirrel lobby? The classic Olaf preoccupation with looks? Or is this just another case of lawyers and rulemakers gone amok?
Whatever the reason, I must disagree with it. Personally, I think Olaf could stand to have just a little more crap.
On a more heartfelt note, however, our own Philosophy Professor Charles Taliaferro also had something to say about the policy: The advantages of having our animal companions on campus are immense. "For five years, my sheltie (Tiepolo) attended almost every class I have taught here at St. Olaf. He brought love and humor to each situation, and brightened the days of hundreds of students in Holland Hall who would come by the office to see him. He has also been in every administrative office, including the registrar's office, and has been entirely pacific and loving. If he is allowed back on campus, I would take full responsibility for him and guarantee at 100 percent that his presence would only bring smiles."
Honestly, are pets on campus really that big of a deal?

Iain from Ireland: "Thomann customer service was stunningly good. Hats off to you for speed, efficiency, traceability and good oservice"
Thomann TTS-150 tenor saxophone - high F# key, adjustable thumb holder, brass body and keys, clear lacquer. Includes mouthpiece and case.
Inexpensive but good quality tenor sax from thomann. For the price i recommend it highly. Nice tone, good enough intonation, nice ergonomic feel. Springs a bit tight at first so i loosened them for easier action. A little heavier than traditional sax at about 3.7kg. Nice case, strap etc, delivered to dublin in one week for 350euro! Copy of yanagisaw 901 i think. Very well made chinese but checked and guaranteed three years by thomann. Using a Rico Graftonite B5 mouthpiece, the best ive found. THe day i got this mouthpiece i sold my otto link tonemaster. Thats how good it is and for under 20 euro. Rico Plasticote reeds, easy to blow from crisp to smoochy and last much longer than ordinary reeds. So for under 400 euro you can be playing tenor sax. Really recommend this if you havent a lot of money and want to play tenor. Get someone to ease off the springs though or youll have very tired fingers.Any info you want just ask. I did this review as when i was looking for best cheap sax there were only two very sparse reviews on this so i took a chance,., It worked out well.
Do you believe this rating to be inaccurate or unacceptable for some reason?
Great instrument for price, Had a few issues with the cheaper mouthpiece and stock reads. Once replaced though it was lovely to play. Comes with good case and good quality cleaning rod.

Does crab rangoon have any real crab in it?
- Jpan99 Jul 20, 2012 01:44 PM
I've tried many a crab rangoon and basically what's not to like about fried dough with cheese filling. But aside form the somewhat savory taste of the filling and the occasional red speck in the pure white filling, is there really any crab in the crab rangoon?
I've checked recipes online that have 8 ounces of cream cheese mixed with 8 ounces of crab meat. I seriously doubt my local Chinese restaurants use that much crab, if any at all. I guess I think the red flecks are crab flavored seasoning or something. Maybe it's one of those Americanized Chinese food items like lobster sauce that is usually served with shrimp and has no lobster in it. Or maybe the filling is just pureed so smoothly that you don't detect the crab?
You are more than likely right that your restaurants are not using real crab and certainly not on a 1:1 ratio. It's more than likely Surimi, known here as "crab with a K," and some seafood seasoning. It sounds like you're talking about the basic cutout Cantonese/.Mandarin places; is there anything higher-end or more refined where you are? The problem with that being....they probably will not be serving Rangoon'd anything. You might have better luck if there's a local place w/ a Tiki theme.
My tastes these days run to more authentic Szechuan-type places where "Crab Rangoon" isn't on the menu, but even when I'm visiting a favorite local Americanized take-out place, I never order "Crab (or even "Krab") Rangoon" anymore. It's never been anything but severely disappointing. Now when I make it myself, that's another story. . . .
(Oh, & surimi (aka "fake" crab) works just fine in Rangoon. Just don't try to pass it off to guests as real crab - enjoy it for what it is. :) )
re: Bacardi1
I'd say it depends on the resturuant. Around me, an awful lot of the little holes in the wall don;t make thier own rangoons at all, they simply pull them pre made and frozen out of a box (I've seen them do it) Almost all of those are almost assuredly "Krab", Of the one's where I know they do make thier own (either because I've seen it, or else becuse there is some distictive mark that they are not mass market pre frozen such as being a seriosly different shape.....well some do, some don't. One place I order from (whose rangoons look like beggars purses) may use real crab, though it's a little hard to tell, as the amount of cream cheese and scallions they use sort of makes it hard to detect the crab period (if you want to know why I am so fond of a rangoon where I can't really taste the crab, it's becuse of what else I DEFINITELY cant taste; the sugar) Then again, they make a big farrago about offering "real crabmeat" options on things like the lo mein, so the certinaly have real crab available, whatever crab is in there may be real.
There is another place I know of that also makes their in house Ive seen them do it there. They defintely use real crab, and probably do use the amounts of the recipe, as the filling has so much crab in it it's virtually solid (there also the only place I know of that doesn't use that bright yellow dough for the wrapper, they use an ordinary frying wonton skin which the fold sideways then over, so that an order looks like a pile of gigantic fried tortellini.) It actually a very different experiance, a rangoon with so much crab you cant taste the cream cheese. Then there was the place that, in an effort to be different instead of offering a crab rangoon, offered one with smoked salmon...........
I'll confess to actually making crab Rangoon, and when I do I am only partially ashamed to admit using "krab." it tastes like the crab Rangoon from the few American-Chinese takeout places I will order from.
I've never made it with actual crab meat because I almost always make crab cakes when I pick that up. No reason to drown real crab in cream cheese.
re: MonMauler
I agree with you, & there's absolutely NO REASON to feel ashamed for using surimi (fake crab) in anything - especially a snack like this. Like I said before, while I take exception to people trying to pass surimi off as real crab to guests or restaurant patrons, taken for exactly what it is, it's quite nice in many dishes.
re: Bacardi1
I would go so far as to say that, in many dishes "krab" is the BETTER choice. real crab meat (especially some of the canned forms) has a much lighter, more subtle flavor, that can easily be overwhelmed in recipies rich in strong flavors.
re: jumpingmonk
This is exactly my thought? My filling for crab rangoon incorporates sharp cheddar, soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions and garlic salt before deep frying. Those strong flavors are going to overwhelm real crab. Surimi, however, holds up perfectly and adds a nice sweetness to what is otherwise a salt and fat bomb.
re: jumpingmonk
Just out of curiousity, has anyone here tried one of the "baked" Crab (or Krab) Rangoon recipes out there? Where you push wonton wrappers into greased muffin pans, add the filling & bake them instead of the traditional deep-frying method? It's on my "to-cook" list, but was just wondering if anyone else had tried them yet & how you liked them (or not).
re: Bacardi1
I've used those puff pastry cups, filled them with grab cream cheese/eggs, baked. I like them better than rangoons.
Does this dish even have Chinese roots? Apart from the use of wonton skins? Cream cheese? the name of a Burmese city?
The first (and maybe only) place I had them was at a Vietnamese restaurant in Indiana - 2 decades ago. I don't recall seeing it on Chinese menus before that.
If there is a case for using the imitation stuff, this is it. The cream cheese will mask the subtitle flavors of real crab.
As for the shrimp dish, it is shrimp in lobster (style) sauce. The first time I had it, long long ago, I learned that the sauce is in the style of one used with lobster, not one made with lobster. It rarely makes sense to interpret Chinese, and Chinese-American, dish names literally. There's a lot of imagination and allusion in the names.
But that sort of thing isn't limited to Chinese names. There's no dog in a hotdog, or ham in a hamburger.
re: knucklesandwich
That's hilarious along with other 50s stabs at exotic food. How about Rumaki? I remember eating 50s housewife style sukiyaki at friends houses.
My neighborhood Jaspanese/Chinese place has them on the menu as 'cheese wonton' presumably because they are krab and not crab, and the restaurant doesn't want to be out of compliance with Florida's seafood labeling law. (krab instead of crab is actually one of the more common state violation findings in the reports I've seen.)
re: beachmouse
(that and "grouper" rather than "whatever cheap white fish we could get ahold of today")
The menu prices at most small corner Chinese takeouts probably wouldn't support using real crab. I have made them with both real crab & Surimi. IMHO, the Surimi's flavor holds up better and its about a 5th of the cost of the lowest grade lump.
I wonder how the cheaper, stronger tasting claw meat would work for something like this? Can usually get that for under $7.00 LB.

Former UNC guard P.J. Hairston said a chance encounter with Josh Gordon at a Chapel Hill grocery store led to the NFL star borrowing Hairston's 2015 Cadillac Escalade, which Gordon was driving the night he was arrested in Raleigh.
Gordon, a wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns, was arrested Saturday on charges of driving while impaired near the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Pasquotank Drive. Police said he was additionally cited for traveling 50 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone.
According to the citation, Gordon's blood alcohol level was .09 at the time of the arrest. Gordon admitted to drinking three mixed drinks and vodka, court documents showed.
The vehicle Gordon was driving at the time of his arrest was registered to Hairston, who said Thursday that he'd only recently met Gordon at a grocery store in Chapel Hill.
"Me and Josh Gordon met at the Fresh Market on 54 in Chapel Hill. I was in the Aloft right next door to the Fresh Market, and I walked into the Fresh Market to get fruit," Hairston said. He said while at the store that he ran into Gordon and immediately recognized him because Hairston identified himself as a "football fan."
"Right away we started talking about football and basketball," Hairston recalled. "We walked outside and he saw my car and he said, 'Well what are you doing?' And I said, 'Tomorrow? Nothing. I'll probably be in the hotel.'"
Hairston said Gordon hadn't seen one of the new Escalades and asked the Charlotte Hornets rookie if he would mind switching cars for the night.
"I liked his car -- he had a Mercedes -- so I said, 'OK, let's switch,'" Hairston said. "I was just being generous. I have a thing for saying 'yes' and I felt like that wasn't a big deal."
Hairston said what happened early Saturday morning after they switched vehicles "is history."
"I was sitting in the hotel when I found out everything happened," he said.
Hairston said he didn't think the situation would turn negative until he realized Gordon's connection with Haydn Patrick "Fats" Thomas, who posted Gordon bail.
"Once I realized that he had connections with people that got me in trouble in the past, then I thought, 'OK, this is probably going to be a problem,'" Hairston said.
In June 2013, Hairston and two others were arrested in Durham on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charges while driving a 2013 GMC Yukon that was rented by Thomas. The charge against Hairston was later dismissed.
Hairston was also pulled in May 2013 for speeding in a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro that was rented under a woman's name sharing Thomas' home address.
Thomas is a convicted Felon who in November pleaded guilty to charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, drug possession with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia from a December 2012 arrest.

Caterham is one of those love-it-or-hate-it kinds of automakers that make cars that are fast but not necessarily user-friendly. In the UK, the Caterham lineup is vastly popular, but in the States, it only sells a small number of vehicles, via its Caterham USA arm, to folks looking to hit the tracks.
With the Caterham Seven -based R500 getting ready to see its final days of production, Caterham is now planning its successor. Evo had a short interview with Caterham's CEO, Graham MacDonald, in regards to the future plans with the Seven and if you are good at reading between the lines, a huge announcement may have been slightly leaked.
Evo brought up the potential of using the SP/300.R's 305-horsepower, supercharged 2.0-liter engine the Seven, which Caterham is committed to building for the foreseeable future. MacDonald responded with "Potentially, yes. I would love that, of course – especially if we took the next step and made it an R600."
This would lead any warm-blooded human to the fact that the R600 is already on the tip of Caterham's tongue and will likely see the light of day. MacDonald also addressed that installing the 2.0-liter would not be a straightforward process, as there are big cooling system issues that Caterham engineers would have to sort out, among other details.
With Caterham also looking to build more user-friendly vehicles – you know, ones that you can actually use on government-owned pavement – this R600 may even become that friendlier Caterham that ever traditional sports car company fears.
With its traditionally low prices and extreme performance, Caterham could really shake up the sports-car world, should it choose to build a more street-friendly R600 with the SP/300.R's engine. Unfortunately, this is all purely speculation and reading deeply between the lines of a potentially ambiguous statement… But that's what we do best! Additionally, the "Supercharged" teaser that Caterham released recently also lends a little validity to this potential scenario.
We'll keep an eye out for any more announcements on the potential of the R600 and the possible use of that nasty 2.0-liter engine sitting in the Seven.

All latest health news from New Zealand and from around the world from Health Hub.
Kiwi women are not the most promiscuous in the world, according to a long-running study.
A previous survey by condom maker Durex, quoted at a Family First conference on Friday by Timaru gynaecologist Albert Makary, found from a survey of 26 nations that Kiwi men had an average of 16.8 partners and Kiwi women an average of 20.4 partners.
The women's figure was the highest in the world.
But a long-running Otago multi-disciplinary study, which has tracked just over 1000 people since they were born in Dunedin in 1973, has found the opposite.
It says half of the respondents had 10 or fewer sexual partners by age 32, and half the women had eight or fewer partners.
However, the same survey showed a handful of highly sexually active men and women pushed up the average number of sexual partners by age 32.
By this age, the figure jumped up to 20.8 sexual partners for men and 13.3 for women.
The questions in the Dunedin study were based on a British survey done in 1990, 2000 and 2010.

When your sky block is big enough, you can start collecting your very own resources, farming and survive. As soon you will be able to build a forest and then later a fortress. You will reaching to build a nation and even longer at last your very own Minecraft world.
But again all of these starts with just a single surviving sky block. This survival map will be full of excitements and fun if you don't use any cheats. The SkyBlock map is definitely a map that full of excitements and its not just a map.

Sid Vicious; Simon John Ritchie-Beverly (May 10, 1957 February 2, 1979), better known as Sid Vicious, was an English punk rock musician and bass player of the Sex Pistols. He died of a drug overdose at the age of 21.
Ritchie was born in London to parents John (a former grenadier guard) and Anne Ritchie. His father left shortly afterwards, and, during his early years, he moved with his mother to the Spanish island of Ibiza, where she allegedly made a living selling drugs. The pair later moved back to England, where Anne married Christopher Beverly in 1965 before setting up a family home in Kent, England.
His stepfather died six months later, and by 1968 Ritchie and his mother were living in a rented flat in Tunbridge Wells where he attended Sandown Court School. In 1971 the pair moved to Hackney in East London.
According to Lemmy Kilmister in an interview in Mojo, Ritchie at age fourteen was selling LSD at Hawkwind concerts.
By 1974 he had already begun using drugs intravenously with his mother, particularly amphetamines. By 1975, he had started to self harm and exhibited antisocial tendencies; some accounts of his life relate that he assaulted a pensioner around this time.
Described by peers as "slender and likable", Ritchie took the stage name "Sid Vicious," which reportedly came from an ironic joke involving the name of John Lydon"s pet hamster "Sid," which had apparently bitten Sid and subsequently been dubbed "Vicious" by him. Although Simon was his real first name, he often referred to himself as "John." At the time, he was squatting with John Lydon, John Wardle (Jah Wobble) and John Gray. (The four were sometimes referred to as The Four Johns).
Sid reportedly made a deliberate effort to match the media myths that grew up around him and his name, although John Lydon reportedly commented, "Sid couldn"t punch his way out of a bag of crisps!"
Already known as "the ultimate Sex Pistols fan," and a close friend of vocalist Johnny Rotten, Vicious was asked to join the group after Glen Matlock"s departure in February 1977. Manager Malcolm McLaren once claimed: If Rotten is the voice of punk, then Vicious is the look. His punk character was considered far more helpful than any knack for playing, as he was not renowned for his playing skills, though he did have some ability, as was later shown when he composed the track "Belsen Was A Gas" entirely by himself. Jon Savage"s biography of the Sex Pistols, England"s Dreaming, recounts that most of the bass parts on the band"s later recordings were played by guitarist Steve Jones and at later live performances Sid"s amplifier was sometimes switched off. Sid is said to have asked Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead to teach him how to play bass with the words, "I can"t play bass." Kilmister"s reply was (according to Kilmister himself) "I know." In his autobiography No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs, Lydon writes, "he wasn"t too bad at all for three-chord songs." Sid played his first gig with the Pistols on April 3, 1977, at the Screen on the Green in London. His debut was filmed by Don Letts and appears in Punk Rock Movie.
Meanwhile Ritchie and Spungen had become locked in their own world of drug addiction and self-destruction. Interview footage shows the couple attempting to answer questions from their bed: Spungen is barely coherent while Ritchie lapses in and out of consciousness. He also came very close to death following a heroin overdose and was hospitalized for a time.
On the morning of October 12, 1978 Ritchie allegedly awoke from a drugged stupor to find Spungen crumpled dead on the bathroom floor of their room (room 100) in the Hotel Chelsea in New York. She had received a single stab wound to her abdomen and apparently bled to death. Ritchie was arrested and charged with her murder although he said he had no memory of having done so. However, he later claimed to have "killed her because I"m a dirty dog." There are several theories that Spungen was murdered by someone else, usually said to be one of the two drug dealers who visited the apartment that night, and involving a possible robbery as certain items (including a substantial bankroll) were claimed to be missing from the room.

I imagine these might be a way for players to get the gear levels they need in order to transition from WOTLK zones to Cataclysm zones.
For many classes, going from Icecrown to Vashj'ir or Hyjal was painful, even in raid gear.
Doing it in quest gear from the previous zones is damned near impossible. Most players have to craft or purchase Cataclysm greens just to survive mobs one-on-one in the Cataclysm leveling zones. This might be a way to smooth out that curve from L180 gear to L280 gear between Icecrown and Hyjal.

now it'll be interesting to see how we go about obtaining these new sets... high level Wrath dungeons? or maybe purchasable by 85s with extra vp/jp?

What's Wrong with QM?
View Single Post
Mar24-05, 11:21 AM
Quote by
but the fact is that QM was guided more in its development by experiment than by actual physics.
What?? Physics by definition develops by experiment. Saying Einstein didn't use experiment is rediculous - he just wasn't the one doing the experiments. The first page of his paper on special relativity are the Lorentz transformation equations, which are based on maxwell's equations, which are 100% experimentally derived.
There is
part of physics that does not rely on experimentation, whether before or after, and without experimentation we'd still be in the dark ages. Assumptions and hypothesis are all well and good, but they require experiment to verify them. Einstein had the habit of guessing first and testing later (with exception maybe of his experiments in photon absorption), and this ended up making him wrong very, very often, and right very, very rarely. I guess if we remember his hits and forget his misses we are to be impressed?
Saying that zapperz is impeding physics is amusing, given his employment and the hard work he does on these forums. I would love to see who had contributed more to physics, Crosson or Zapperz.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- A 32-year old from Kalamazoo who crashed his 2004 Chevy Impala into a tree along Red Arrow highway early yesterday is free on bond this morning
Deputies say that Travis Radtke managed to avoid any injuries but won't escape Van Buren County without facing charges. He had been arrested under the state's new "Superdrunk Law" which carries enhanced sentencing, but the Prosecutor instead authorized felony operating while intoxicated, 3rd offense, which carries more serious penalties.
The deputy asked him what happened and he said he had too much to drink to be driving, and confessed he must have fallen asleep and hit a tree. Bond was set at 75-hundred dollars.

No, it's not a computer mock-up – that engine really is upside down! And it's going in to small-scale production too.
The Nembo Super 32 Rovescio is the brainchild of Italian designer Daniele Sabatini, who was inspired by the style of air-cooled engines but wanted the inverted cylinder design of World War II plane engines too.
"I like air-cooled motors and water-cooled ones with finned cylinders and heads. However, in the current naked sport bikes the engine is too often hidden and totally water-cooled – practically soulless.
"It pains me to see the engine humiliated and smothered under frames and plastic components. So, I thought that a good way to get a well exposed and updated air-cooled engine in a contemporary naked sport bike was just to invert it!"

i think it would be harder to check the oil level than attach a chain....

you got it sack 1
my point exactly, how do you attach a chain from an upside down back to front triple to the rear sprocket ?

Triple your pleasure, triple your fun..
Yes, looking at that chain, or where a chain might go it would appear it would be a long one and quite possibly not on a straight path to the rear sprocket considering the swimgarm. A jackshaft perhaps?
Interesting to look at but not sure it would be better. More of a conversation piece than anything else.
