3/25/15: The Texas Rangers simply suffered through 2014. An amazing rash of injuries that seemed more like a diabolical curse out of "The Simpsons" than a random stretch doomed last season. It has not been great this season either, especially after staff ace Yu Darvish went down for the year with Tommy John surgery. But the Rangers do have a good deal of talent on the team. They are reportedly talking with the Philadelphia Phillies about a trade for ace Cole Hamels, which would certainly soften the blow of losing Darvish - and may save their season.
3/18/15: The Texas Rangers have jumped on the latest trend in Major League Baseball - adding depth and complexity to their bullpen. There has been a noticeable movement towards beefing up bullpens with specialists over the past few years, and with good results. Guys that can shut down an opponent for an inning or two helps keep starters fresh. Teams that have gone deep in the playoffs recently have had good bullpens and the Rangers hope that signing lefty Joe Beimel is a boost for them. He was with the Seattle Mariners last season and posted a 2.20 ERA over 45 innings.
3/11/15: There is no way that this can happen two years in a row, is there? The Rangers 2014 season was ruined before it ever really got going due to a ridiculous amount of injuries to key players early in the season. That trend continued on throughout the year, and the Rangers ended up with one of the worst records in baseball. So far this spring training, they have lost second baseman Jurickson Profar to continued shoulder problems and now ace pitcher Yu Darvish is contemplating Tommy John surgery for a sprained UCL in his elbow. Surgery may be the only real option as there is a low success rate for rest and rehab working on this type of injury.
3/4/15: The worst outcome for Jurickson Profar's 2015 season has come to be. He will miss his second straight season as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury. He missed 2014 in the hopes that rest and strengthening would be enough to get him back on the field. That did not work so now he will undergo season-ending surgery. The Rangers are rightfully disappointed, but GM Jon Daniels defended Profar's decision to rest last season. The good news is that Profar will only be 23 in 2016, plenty of time to still be a great player for the Rangers.
2/25/15: Shouldn't all the injuries be over by now? Yes, 2014 was a train wreck with the absurd amount of Rangers starters missing most or all of the season with maladies of all sorts. But that season is in the rear view mirror and the Rangers are expected to be a pretty good team this season. Unfortunately, there is word that young infielder Jurickson Profar may miss 2015 as well. The former number one prospect was out last season with a shoulder injury and it seems that it has not healed properly. It looks like surgery for the budding star. The upside is that he is in his early 20's, so he still has many good years left in front of him.
2/11/15: It is a new dawn for baseball down in Texas. The Rangers had a miserable 2014 season when so many of their star players - who come with hefty price tags - went down with injury early in the season. The results were simply awful and capped off by manager Ron Washington stepping down for personal reasons. But this is a new year and the players are healing. Prince Fielder is excited about playing again and says he feels great after rehabbing from neck surgery last May. Expect the Tigers to be in the mix in the AL West, which is loaded with quality teams like the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners and Oakland A's.
1/28/15: The Texas Rangers should be a much better team in 2015 than in 2014, if for no other reason than they should be a lot healthier and will be able to put a major league roster on the field. But that does not mean that they are not trying to get better at any given position. One unlikely player to return to the Rangers is Josh Hamilton. Hamilton burned a lot of bridges, especially with the fans, when he fled to rival Anaheim for a monster deal two years ago. Since then, Hamilton has done very little. On top of that, he is owed over $90 million dollars, so Anaheim can keep him.
1/21/15: The Texas Rangers cleaned house already, so now they are trying to put their roster in shape before spring training begins in a couple of months. To be fair, the Rangers actually have a pretty solid roster. One can be forgiven for not realizing that after last season's humiliation, but that was largely due to an absurd amount of injuries. In any case, all teams are looking for starting pitcher, and the Rangers are no different. However, GM Jon Daniels has gone on record as stating the team is not in the running for either James Shields or Max Scherzer. No matter, the Rangers are fine for now, though they still may try to pursue a trade with the Phillies for Cole Hamels.
1/14/15: Just by showing up, the Texas Rangers should be better in 2015 than they were last year. The Rangers' season was pretty much over before it got started as just about every player they had of note seemed to suffer a serious injury. One of those players was youngster Jurickson Profar, one of the top prospects in all of professional baseball. He tore a major shoulder muscle in spring training last year and missed the entire season. He is not ready to return to the majors, but is set to begin a throwing program soon, and will hopefully get back up to speed over a few months.
1/7/15: This probably would have sounded like better news two years ago, but it still could pay off for the Rangers. The team re-signed starting pitcher Colby Lewis to a one-year deal for $4 million. Lewis was below average last season with a 5.18 ERA and lost 14 games. But there are some mitigating circumstances. He was coming off of an injury that cost him the 2013 season and the Rangers were a medical ward in 2014. Lewis was very good from 2010 to 2012. Perhaps being a year removed from his own injury and the improving health of the team will get him back to his 2012 form.
12/3/14: Now that the Rangers have finished licking their wounds from the disastrous 2014 season, they really do have to focus on 2015. There is no reason not to believe that they cannot be a competitive force next season. They certainly have the talent on the roster - it just so happened that the entire roster (just about) got injured last season. They are trying to add a bit more talent and are reportedly interested in Kendrys Morales. Morales was mediocre last season, batting only .218 with eight homers in 98 games, but did tally 23 homers and 80 RBIs in 2013.
10/29/14: Everyone new there would likely be some fallout when the Rangers selected Jeff Banister to be their new manager, especially after passing over interim manager Tim Bogar, who did nothing except lead an injury-ravished team with nothing to play for to a 14-8 record to finish the season. Bogar promptly left the Rangers, and he will likely find work somewhere else son. Hitting coach Dave Magadan was also looking at leaving the team, but it seems now that he is going to stay put and at least finish the remaining year on his contract. Magadan was under consideration for the Yankees job, but did not get that. Texas finished 10th in the AL in runs scored this past season, a ranking that was obviously affected by the myriad of injuries.
10/22/14: It is now officially time to forget that the 2014 season ever happened. Despite the miserable record, at least the Rangers will have one of the top picks in the MLB draft next season. Texas also announced the hiring of their new manager. It is Jeff Banister, who most recently was a bench coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bannister has been in the Pirates organization since he was drafted in 1986. It is a bit of a surprise move, though. Interim manager Tim Bogar was the favorite, especially after he led the team to a 14-8 record when the team had nothing to play for in September.
10/15/14: The Texas Rangers have not named a new manager yet, but all indications are that interim manager Tim Bogar is considered the frontrunner for the job. Bogar took over for Ron Washington, who resigned late in the season for personal issues. Bogar took the injury-ravaged Rangers to finish 14-8, even when the team had absolutely nothing to play for. The Rangers are also considering pitching coach Mike Maddux (brother of Greg) and triple-A manager Steve Buechele. But for now, it looks like they are headed to removing the interim tag from Bogar's title and giving him the full time job.
10/8/14: If one simply looks at the record and box scores, it would be easy to assume that the Rangers were simply an awful team in 2014. Of course, closer examination shows a much deeper issue - mainly an unprecedented onslaught of injuries to so many of their key players that it is impossible to distinguish the team that finished 2014 from the one that finished 2013. One of those injuries was to starting pitcher Colby Lewis, who shone in the 2011 World Series appearance year. Lewis has missed most of the last two years to injuries, and at 35, may not have too many options. But the Rangers would like to get him back and contract discussions have begun.
10/1/14: You can breath easy now, Rangers fans. The nightmare that was the 2014 season is over. There are not many positives to take out of the season. It was marred from the start with major injuries to key players who ended up being shelved for the season. The big offseason acquisition, Prince Fielder, is a prime example. He was hurt in the beginning of the season and that was it. The Rangers traded Ian Kinsler for him, who ended up having a great season in Detroit. But we can now put the season to rest and take comfort in knowing that the Rangers will have a high draft spot and that several prospects got invaluable experience.
9/24/14: It seems that every year, no matter which sport it is, there is at least one team that is expected to be a contender that completely fails. Sometimes it is due to major injuries. Sometimes from inept ownership or management. Sometimes it is a scandal that the media loves. It could be all three for the Texas Rangers this year (but especially the injuries). Ron Washington resigned as manager a few weeks ago and he took the stage to explain why he resigned. It turns out that his personal problems were very significant and he wants to make things right. The only question left is who will be the next manager.
9/17/14: At some point in the future (possibly by mid-October) the Rangers will look back at 2014 as the "Lost Season". Texas has been out of the playoff picture since the beginning of the year, but so much of this had to do with injuries, rather that the play of the team. In a (hopefully) final blow, the team has shut down ace pitcher Yu Darvish for the season. Darvish has been a lone bright spot in a terrible season. It is probably the right call. Why expose him to injury when the season is lost already.
8/28/13: It is not uncommon for teams to put guys on revocable waivers this time of year. It allows teams to gauge interest level in players that they may be willing to part with. Often, if a player is claimed, the team works out trade. The Rangers put Neal Cotts on waivers but he was claimed by an undisclosed team. The Rangers promptly pulled him back but were not able to work out a trade for the 34 year old lefty setup man. So that means that Cotts will remain with the Rangers for the rest of the season and he will be a free agent once the season ends.
8/21/14: What is a week in Arlington without a new injury to a key player for the Rangers? Texas' roster is essentially a MASH unit at this point and the team is basically just playing out the thread. The big attraction at the ballpark these days are 1. going to a MLB game (always fun), 2. seeing top prospects in their first days in the show, and 3. watching Yu Darvish pitch. Darvish was just diagnosed with mild inflammation in his elbow, so he will not be throwing until the soreness heals. Let's just hope it is a minor issue that will not require surgery, and that Darvish (and all the Rangers) will be back to compete next season.
8/14/14: The Rangers activated veteran catcher Geovany Soto from the disabled list last week. No that was not a repeat post from earlier in the year, though the confusion is understandable. The last time Soto was activated from the DL, he made it only three games before injuring himself again and finding himself back on the disabled list. Soto missed over two months to start the season following knee surgery. This time, he had a strained groid. The Rangers designated right handed pitcher Jerome Williams for assignment to make room for Soto. Williams allowed 11 runs in 10 innings over two starts.
8/7/14: The Texans are certainly not playing for this year. Quite frankly, the number and severity of major injuries the team has endured is almost unprecedented and even unfair. Teams that are more panic-driven may have reacted differently, but the Texans were smart during the trade deadline. They did not make any big trades to send off current or future talent. Instead, they held their ground and accepted that they will be a contending team next season when their key players return to injury. Fans may not like this approach, but it was the smart move and the Rangers should be well prepared in 2015.
7/31/14: Let's hope that all the big injuries that the Rangers are going to face over the next few years are being taken care of now. Even a casual observer would have to think that Texas has had far more than its share of crippling injuries this season. But it is a new week and the MASH unit has not stopped. The latest entrant is Jake Smolinski. Smolinski is a career minor leaguer who got called up do to injuries. In 11 games he hit .389. Of course, then he got injured with a bruised foot. At this point, the Rangers have a whopping 14 players on the DL, which is simply unheard of in any generation.
7/24/14: If you are going to have injuries in your organization, you may as well have them all at one time. So that means that another Texas Ranger is injured to go along with the MASH unit that should be their starting lineup. This time it is outfielder Alex Rios. Rios left Saturday's game with a right ankle sprain (X-Rays were negative). There is not much joy in seeing a team comprised of walking wounded. There are some upsides, though. It does provide the team the opportunity to see developing players in action and, to a lesser extent, helps with the draft position next season. That may be small comfort, but is at least something.
7/17/14: It was not that long ago that the Rangers were the class on the American League and went to the World Series in consecutive years. The team had aspirations of contending in 2014, but injury after injury stopped those dreams. But the Rangers can look at the future with optimism. Prince Fielder will return next season, as will several others. The team has had a chance to play some developmental guys, which will help their growth into the Majors. And pitcher Yu Darvish is among the best in the league. While it may not be pretty this year, it is a good chance to know the next generation of Rangers' stars.
7/10/14: Whoever wins the American League pennant this season may have to thank the rain and the Rangers' ace Yu Darvish. A rainstorm in Baltimore pushed back Darvish's scheduled start last Friday. That changed his rotation, making him eligible to pitch in the All-Star Game. He is a dominant pitcher and could be a deciding factor in the game. That matters because the winning league in the game gets the homefield advantage in the World Series. While the Rangers likely will not make it this season, it would be ironic if one of their AL West rivals like the Angels or the A's gets to have a Game 7 at home because of Darvish's pitching skills.
7/3/14: In every GM and manager's mind, there is always the thought of a worst-case scenario for the season. Unfortunately for Texas, they are living through it this season. The team has been simply plagued by injuries throughout their starting roster and it shows in the standings. The Rangers are 13 games behind the AL West leading Oakland A's and six games under .500. The lone bright spot has been ace Yu Darvish. He was outstanding again over the weekend by striking out 10 against the Minnesota Twins. It may be shortsighted, but it is not unreasonable to consider Darvish being traded this month for a boatload of prospects.
6/26/14: The Rangers are having their own problems at the major league level, so the really do not have the capacity to take on more problems at their lower minor league levels. That means the end has come (with the Rangers organization) for relief pitcher Daniel Bard. He posted an incomprehensible 175.50 ERA in Single-A ball. He allowed 13 runs while only recording two outs. He walked or hit 16 of the 18 batters he faced. At one time, he was an elite setup guy. Maybe he can take comfort in Scott Kazmir who lost his pitching and went down to independent ball before regaining his groove. Now Kazmir is starring for the A's.
6/19/14: Coaches love to say that every game is equal in importance and that a win is a win is a win. They may want to believe that, but the truth is that some wins are bigger than others. Take the Rangers, for example. The team is simply playing .500 ball this season. But they got a big win over Seattle last Friday with a shutout and stealing one from elite pitcher Felix Hernandez. That was their second straight shutout. They followed that up with another win over the Mariners on Saturday. This is an important road trip for the Rangers, so beating one of the best pitchers in the league and showing that they can win is vital to the team's success for the rest of the year.
6/12/14: The Rangers have been a walking infirmary ward all season, which is a big reason they are eight games out of first place in the AL West. One guy wants to come back and that is first baseman and outfielder Mitch Moreland. It was first reported that he would miss three months to ankle surgery. Now, it is being reported that he will have a bone removed and that may get him back on the field in three to four weeks. He would still miss a month, but that is better than missing (potentially) the rest of the season.
6/6/14: Hopefully this is some good news for the injury laden Texas Rangers. Star pitcher Yu Darvish missed his last start due to a stiff neck. But he is back. The MRI came back negative, which has to be a relief. The Rangers lost slugger Prince Fielder for the season with a back injury and they need all the help they can get. Oakland is pulling away from the AL West and the Rangers are mired in third place. That being said, a couple of strong months, especially against their division rivals, and the Rangers are back in the thick of things.
5/29/14: The Rangers just cannot keep healthy this season and it shows in the standings. The latest victim is a big one - literally and in the line-up. Prince Fielder announced that he would have back surgery to repair a herniated disc, and he will miss the remainder of the season. Fielder has not been himself for most of the season and has noted weakness in his arms. To make matters worse, the Rangers traded second baseman Ian Kinsler for him in the past offseason, and Kinsler is having a career year for the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers.
5/22/14: It has been a tale of two months for Rangers' slugger Prince Fielder. April was historically brutal for him and he finished the month with a batting average barely over .200. May has been entirely different, and that is good for Texas. Fielder made an adjustment to hit the ball to the opposite field (to left field, since he is a left-handed batter) and it seems to be working. He is batting .386 in May. Often times, players go into slumps just because the season is so long, but Fielder seems to have figured something out and that may help the Rangers catch the division leaders later this season.
5/15/14: For several years, infielder Jurickson Profar has been among the Rangers' top prospects - so good that the Rangers refused to move him even when they had the chance and other needs. Unfortunately, Profar just landed on the DL and will be out for several weeks. Same with Donnie Murphy. Texas' opening day second baseman, Josh Wilson, has been designated for assignment, leaving the Rangers' short in the middle of the infield. The team called up Roogie Odor to fill the holes until Profar returns, and to add a 'jolt' to the team. He is probably not the 2014 Yasiel Puig, but will be lauded if he can hold his own over the next few weeks.
5/8/14: The season is about six weeks old and the Rangers are still in the midst of everything. True, they trail the 'efficient' Oakland A's by two games, but they are also three games over .500, which makes them relevant. Texas is a rare case though. While they are comfortable above average, they have a negative 18 run differential. That means that 18 more runs have been scored against them than they have scored. As a contrast, the AL West leading A's have a run differential of plus 53. Simply put, the Rangers have to score more.
5/1/14: Texas has played pretty well of late and caught up to the Oakland A's for first place in the American League West. While the A's continue to defy the odds with their use of sabermetrics and gritty play, the Rangers are expected to be near the top. That is a reasonable expectation considering the talent they have on the team. To help out, the team activated lefty Matt Harrison from the DL. Harrison has missed the last year with shoulder and back injuries. However, he was an all-star in 2012, the last season he was able to play.
4/24/14: Rangers' starting pitcher Tanner Scheppers had a rough start to the season, really not throwing well through his first four starts. Rather than simply move him out of the rotation, the Rangers did some medical tests and decided to shut him down for a bit. Fortunately, an MRI exam revealed no structural damage, though he does have some elbow inflammation. Schepper's velocity has been down this season, his first in the rotation. He had been a key part of the bullpen in the past, and posted an impressive 1.88 ERA in 77 innings last season. There is a chance that Nick Martinez will get called up for spot duty until lefty Matt Harrison comes off the DL.
4/17/14: The Rangers are not having trouble hitting or getting on base - they rank 8th in batting average and 11th in on-base percentage. They are having trouble turning those base runners into runs, as they rank 22nd in run scored. However, the major challenge is in pitching. The team has just five quality starts through 14 games, and are 21st in the majors in WHIP and 20th in opposing batting average. This has led to a 7-7 start that already has them a few games behind the division leading Oakland A's. There is still a lot of baseball to be played, and the AL West should be among the more interesting races to watch.
10/2/12 Third Baseman Adrian Beltre of the Texas Rangers has been named the American League Player of the Month for September. Beltre last won the award in September of 2011. This September, Beltre hit .337 (33-98) with 11 home runs, and 19 runs scored in 26 games. He did it on both sides of the field, not committing an error in 22 games in September. Beltre also had four game- winning RBIs which was tops in the league during the month. For the season, he is hitting .321 with 36 home runs and 102 RBIs, all top 10 in the American League. He leads Texas into the Wild Card game against the Baltimore Orioles, where the winner will play the New York Yankees in the division series.
In the first game of a series that many believe is a preview of this upcoming postseason, the Texas Rangers lost to the New York Yankees by the score of 8-2 on Monday night in the Bronx. Ryan Dempster made his third American League start after the trade and was not sharp, pitching six innings and allowing eight earned runs on nine hits and two walks. While the bullpen shut the Yankees down from there, it was too little too late. Offensively for Texas, David Murphy went deep in the second inning off Yankees starter David Phelps, while Nelson Cruz also drove in a run, his 70th of the season. Overall, the team managed just eight hits and were a sordid 1-6 with runners in scoring position.
The Texas Rangers had the big bats going on Wednesday night as they slugged their way past the Boston Red Sox by the score of 10-9. Matt Harrison got the start and lasted just 4.2 innings, surrendering four earned runs on eight hits and three walks. He also added three strikeouts over the course of his 97 pitch outing. Offensively, Mitch Moreland, Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz and Geovany Soto all went deep, while Adrian Beltre also drove in two runs. Overall, the team put together 11 hits against the Red Sox and were a solid 2-7 with runners in scoring position. Ian Kinsler also added a stolen base, his 20th on the season so far.
The Texas Rangers reminded the Boston Red Sox just how strong their offense was on Tuesday as they defeated Jon Lester to the tune of 6-3 at Fenway Park. Ryan Dempster made his second start as an American Leaguer and was much better this time around, pitching 6.2 innings and allowing zero earned runs on six hits and a walk. He also added six strikeouts en route to his first victory as a member of the Texas Rangers. Offensively, Ian Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, David Murphy, Nelson Cruz and Elvis Andrus all drove in runs for Texas on the day, with the team hitting an impressive 5-11 with runners in scoring position in the winning effort.
Rangers Ballpark in Arlington is home to the Texas Rangers. The ballpark, located in Arlington, Texas, broke ground in 1992 and opened in 1994. The Texas Rangers play in the West Division of the American League. The Rangers have won the AL Pennant the last two seasons, but have failed to win a World Series, losing to the San Francisco Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals, respectively. Although the current capacity is 48,194 people, a Rangers Ballpark in Arlington record was set on October 30th, 2010 when 52,419 fans attended the third game in the 2010 World Series.In December of 2010, the Texas Rangers announced that many renovations would be made to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington in time for the 2011 season. The new additions included a new HD video board in right field and center field, an updated video board in left field, new production equipment and speakers for the audio system, and a new system which displays scores and videos, among other things.Rangers Ballpark in Arlington also includes a natural grass youth baseball park with a capacity of 650, a four story office building, and a 12 acre lake with parks and recreation space around it.
Scott Feldman was unstoppable on Sunday as he propelled the Texas Rangers to a 2-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox in Arlington. Feldman pitched eight strong innings, allowing zero earned runs on seven hits. He also added five strikeouts over the course of his 88 pitches and earned his fifth victory of the season in the process. Offensively, Michael Young accounted for the lone run batted in on the game for Texas, his 40th of the year. Overall on the day, however, the team managed just eight hits and were 0-10 with runners in scoring position. Ian Kinsler also added his 19th stolen base of the year on the base paths.
Derek Holland earned his seventh win of the season on Wednesday as he led the Texas Rangers to a 5-3 win against the reeling Boston Red Sox. Holland pitched 7.2 strong innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits and a walk. He also added seven strikeouts over the course of his 100 pitch outing. Offensively for Texas, Nelson Cruz hit his 13th home run of the season in the 8th inning off Boston reliever Matt Albers, while David Murphy, Craig Gentry and Ian Kinsler all also drove in runs. Overall on the day, the team had a solid .300 batting average with runners in scoring position.
While starter Matt Harrison put together a decent start, it was not enough as the Texas Rangers were defeated by the Los Angeles Angels by the score of 7-4 on Sunday. Harrison pitched six innings, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and two walks. He also added four strikeouts, but at the same time picked up his fifth loss of the year thus far. Nelson Cruz added his 12th home run of the season in the fourth inning off Angels starter Dan Haren, while Michael Young and Elvis Andrus also drove in runs. Overall on the day, however, the team was just 1-5 with runners in scoring position.
The Texas Rangers, who got off to a slow start to the month of June after tearing through the better part of May, have gotten back on track again, winning 9 of their last 10 games and earning the top record in baseball along the way, thanks to the Dodgers' getting swept by the Athletics this week. The Rangers, at 43-27, are 5 games ahead of the second-place Los Angeles Angels, who have been making a push of their own lately. The Rangers' latest free agent pitching acquisition, Roy Oswalt, will make his first start of the season on Friday night in the first game of the series against the Colorado Rockies.
The Texas Rangers, at 37-27, will begin a three-game interleague series with their in-state foes, the Houston Astros, on Friday night. Coming off an 11-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night, the Rangers will look to rebound with Yu Darvish on the mound against the Astros' Jordan Lyles. With their lead in the AL West dwindling down to only three games, the Rangers are losing some ground, but still remain at the top in every major offensive category. Josh Hamilton also continues to produce, and with 22 home runs and 62 RBI he leads the league in both of those categories.
After tearing through the month of May, the Texas Rangers have now cooled down substantially, losing 7 of their last 10 games and dropping three consecutive series to the Mariners, Angels, and Athletics -- all division rivals. The Rangers are coming off of a rough series against Oakland where they lost three out of four games and will begin a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night, a rematch of the 2010 World Series that the Giants won. Still leading the league in all four major offensive categories, the Rangers lead the Angels by 4 games in the AL West with a record of 33-25.
The 31-20 Texas Rangers lead the league in every major offensive category and are in first place in the AL West, 5.5 games ahead of the second-place Angels. Rookie phenom pitcher Yu Darvish has led the way for the Texas pitching staff, notching a 7-2 record and a 3.25 ERA, while Josh Hamilton has led the way for the league's top offense, as his 21 home runs and 57 RBI are tops in both categories. The Rangers will begin a weekend series with the Angels starting on Friday night and will look to get back to their winning ways after losing two in a row.
5/25/12 The Texas Rangers, and especially Josh Hamilton, have cooled off a bit following their scorching week where Hamilton ripped 9 home runs. The Rangers, in first place in the AL West at 27-18, are now getting set for a three-game series this weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays. Hamilton leads Texas with a .379 batting average and is only slightly behind Paul Konerko who has the top spot in the AL with a .384 average. However he does lead the American League in both home runs and RBI, with 18 and 49 respectively. The Rangers are currently at the top in three of the four major offensive categories.
5/18/12 The Texas Rangers are riding the hot bat of Josh Hamilton, who has carried them to a 24-15 record thus far. Sitting in first place in the AL West, 4 games ahead of the Oakland Athletics, the Rangers will play a 3-game interleague set against their in-state pseudo-rivals the Houston Astros this weekend. Hamilton, who is leading the American League with a .399 batting average, also has 18 home runs and a jaw-dropping 45 RBI -- and we're barely halfway through May. Neftali Feliz, the Rangers' closer-turned-starter, will open up the series against the Astros from Minute Maid Park on Friday night.
5/11/12 At 21-11, the Texas Rangers have been lighting up the American League in the past week, and Josh Hamilton has been stealing headlines with his offensive prowess. After becoming just the 16th player in MLB history to hit four home runs in one game, Hamilton added yet another home run in the third game of the series against Baltimore. With 15 home runs and 38 RBI to go along with a .395 batting average, Hamilton is having himself quite the season already. The Rangers are first in the league in runs scored, batting average, and slugging percentage, and are second in the league in on-base percentage.
5/2/12 - Two Texas Rangers players were awarded for their performances in the month of April. Outfielder Josh Hamilton was awarded the American League Player of the Month and Pitcher Yu Darvish was the American League Rookie of the Month. Hamilton led the league with 9 home runs, 25 RBIs, and was second in the league with a .395 batting average. In his first month in the Majors, Darvish was 4-0 in five starts. He also has a 2.18 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 33.0 innings pitched. It is the first time two Rangers teammates have won AL awards in the same month.
4/30/12 - On January 18, the Texas Rangers signed Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish to a $60 Million dollar contract for six years. At the time, Darvish was considered the top pitcher in the Japanese professional baseball league and had impressed teams during the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2009 World Baseball Classic. After a rocky first start in which he allowed 5 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings against the Seattle Mariners, Darvish has been fantastic. In the month of April, he is 4-0 with a 2.18 ERA in 5 starts. He has also struck out 33 batters in 33 innings pitched. After Darvish allowed five runs in the first two innings of his big league career, he has given up just three earned runs in 31 innings after that for an ERA of 0.87. The season is still a long way from being over, but for now the Texas Rangers investment is paying off as the Rangers are in first place in the west and have the best record in baseball with 17 wins and 6 losses.
The Texas Rangers were the hard-luck losers on Tuesday night after Toronto Blue Jays third basemen Brett Lawrie hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to secure the loss for Texas. Reliever Mike Adams picked up the loss in the ninth, giving up the home run without recording an out. Ian Kinsler had two hits for the Rangers, including three runs batted in, while shortstop Elvis Andrus also contributed three hits and an RBI. Texas starter Neftali Feliz gave up four runs through five innings of work, giving up four hits and six walks through 88 pitches. The Rangers will look for a strong performance from probable starter Matt Harrison on Wednesday.
Already leading the American League West by a healthy 5.5 games going into the final game of April, the Texas Rangers will look to increase their lead when they head to Toronto to face off against the Blue Jays in a three game set this week. Josh Hamilton has not cooled down for the offense, now leading the team with a .395 batting average, 9 home runs and 25 runs batted in through only one month of the season. While it is prudent to believe that his batting average will drop a bit in the coming months, it is not out of the question to expect 45-50 home runs and 140 runs batted in from Hamilton if he can stay healthy for the rest of the season.
5/4/12 A red-hot 17-8 start to the season has the Texas Rangers sitting in first place in the AL West in the early part of this 2012 MLB season. Josh Hamilton is leading the charge for the Rangers, batting .395 with 9 home runs and 25 RBI. The Rangers have also been helped by their new phenom pitching acquistion Yu Darvish, who has made a few masterful starts for Texas so far this season. Darvish has been worth every penny so far, as he is 4-0 with a 2.18 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in five starts this season.
The Texas Rangers have gotten out to the strongest start in all of baseball with a 13-4 mark through the first 17 games and have become the early-season favorite to represent the American League in the World Series this year. Josh Hamilton has been on a torrid pace and is hitting .408 with an AL-leading 8 home runs to go along with 18 runs batted in. Second basemen Ian Kinsler leads the team with 17 of the teams 98 runs scored so far this season.The team currently leads the league in runs, batting average and slugging percentage, while ranking second in on-base percentage.
Another club with big expectations going into the 2012 season, the Texas Rangers added Japanese ace Yu Darvish to an already strong starting rotation in hopes of repeating at American League champions for the third straight year. The Rangers wasted no time getting out to a strong start by posting a 3-1 record through the first week. While Darvish struggled in his first start by giving up 5 earned runs in 5.2 innings, the team rallied from behind for an 11-5 win over the Mariners, giving Darvish his first win in as many tries. Slugger Josh Hamilton also added 2 home runs in the first week. 4/12/12 The two-time defending American League champion Texas Rangers are off to another hot start to begin 2012, with a 5-2 record, good enough for first place in the AL West. Although they lost their ace C.J. Wilson to free agency in the winter, they were able to acquire the hot-shot Japanese phenom Yu Darvish. Darvish made his MLB debut last week against the Seattle Mariners and was able to pick up the win, despite giving up 5 runs in the process. The Rangers hope to ride the hot bats of their power hitters like Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler and the pitching of starters Derek Holland and Neftali Feliz to another AL West title.

When the General Assembly began its 2013 session, two of the state's most costly and high-profile transportation projects looked dead in the water, as funding dried up.
One week after the session's close, the state is moving full-speed ahead, soliciting private-sector advice on funding and meeting with federal officials about how much money the state could get from Washington, D.C.
"Prior to the session, both the Red Line and the Purple Line were in jeopardy," Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown said. "We're in a much better position now."
The sudden forward motion on two long-planned light rail projects — the $2.1 billion Purple Line linking Bethesda to New Carrollton in Prince George's County and the $2.4 billion Red Line in Baltimore — is the result of two pieces of legislation. The administration's gas tax hike will provide a funding stream for the projects through the final design phase, and the Public-Private Partnership bill will streamline and codify the process for the state to work with private investors on public projects.
The gas tax hike, which will fund both mass transit projects and road improvements, is expected to bring in about $4.4 billion in revenue during the next six years. The increase — from the current 23.5 cents per gallon to a possible 42.5 cents in July 2016 — will be phased in gradually over the next three years.
Brown (D) and Acting Deputy Transportation Secretary Leif A. Dormsjo met with U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Transit Administration officials Monday to discuss federal support for the projects.
"We met basically to reaffirm our commitment to moving forward and to emphasize to them that it's a commitment with urgency," Brown said.
Construction on both projects is slated to begin in 2015, with 2020 targeted as an opening date.
Last week, the Maryland Transit Administration issued a request for information to get the private sector involved, asking for input on how the projects should be funded and built.
The plan, said Erin Henson, spokeswoman for the Maryland Department of Transportation, is to try to fund one of the projects through a public-private partnership, and use state and federal resources to complete the other.
"The Purple Line probably offers slightly more opportunities for a public-private partnership," said Brown, who championed the partnership legislation through the General Assembly. "That being said, neither has to be a public-private partnership. But if one or both is developed that way, it frees up a lot of other resources, both state and federal, that we can then invest in other infrastructure projects."
Brown said he is hoping for the federal government to split costs evenly with the state, but budget circumstances in Washington could change that funding formula in the future.
"Certainly in the backdrop of all this is sequestration," Brown said. "Budget uncertainty is something we're all painfully aware of."
In May, the MTA will conduct two industry forums on the projects.
Brown said both forums already are oversubscribed, which shows the intense level of interest in the projects from the business community.

text: Academic Advising & Support Within the Division of Student Development, Le Moyne's academic advisement is a mission-driven program that links the coordination of the academic advising needs of students with support for faculty in their roles as academic advisors and mentors. To support this mission, the College's Academic Advising Committee, made up of faculty and administrators, has designed a developmental advising program that encourages a close working relationship between advisor and advisee throughout a student's time at Le Moyne. FAQ's The Center for Academic Advising and Engagement With a professional academic advising team led by the Assistant Dean for Academic Advising and Engagement, the Center supports students through comprehensive advising programs tailored to the needs of students at distinct developmental stages, including programs for first-year and transfer students and students who have not declared a major, as well as comprehensive orientation programs¸ a first-year advisement program, tutoring and writing assistance, residential and curricular learning communities, international student advising and pre-professional advising (pre-health and pre-law). The Center's purpose is to help Le Moyne students succeed in college by providing them with services and support that allow them to create meaningful connections with peers and faculty within and outside the classroom while enhancing their intellectual, social, and personal development. The Center for Academic Advising and Support is located in 342 Reilly Hall. Inquiries about academic accommodations for students with disabilities can be directed to the Office of Disability Support Services, located on the first floor of the Noreen Reale Falcone Library. Meet Our Team The Center for Academic Advising and Engagement Reilly Hall Room 342 315-445-4624 firstname.lastname@example.com Student Outreach While it is integral to Le Moyne's mission for faculty and administrators to encourage students to seek their assistance, sometimes students are at a crossroads and need additional, immediate, or more intensive support for academic success. Students can also experience extenuating personal circumstances during their time at Le Moyne that will affect their academic performance and their life at the College. For that reason, the Center also operates an Office of Student Outreach and Engagement. Its director serves as a student advocate who is an ombudsman for student concerns and who supports faculty in their connections with students. The director can be reached at (315) 445-4275 or at (315) 445-4597. The Advisor/Advisee Relationship While it is the Center's intention to foster a supportive relationship between the advisor and the student, the advisor and the student each share a responsibility to develop that relationship. Advisors can provide guidance and mentoring to help students make informed choices. However, the students are ultimately responsible for meeting the requirements of their degree programs. Students should meet on an individual basis with their advisor several times each semester. Both individual and group meetings are quite important, especially prior to registration, as academic advisors must review the students' proposed schedules and approve them for student registration on WebAdvisor. These meetings also allow for discussions about the student's major/minor, possible internships, and career planning. Some departments schedule group advisement to inform students about activities and new classes in the major while others offer special programming and events regarding major-related topics, e.g., departmental research opportunities and internships Resources for advisors First Year Advisement Program Pre-fall Enrollment – Advising for first-year students begins prior to the first day of classes. Once students choose Le Moyne College, they receive a First-year Student Guide and access to an Online Advanced Registration System (OARS) that prepares them for a one-day "Summer Welcome" where they will meet their first-year advisor, complete their fall course schedule and take important placement tests. This pre-college program is designed to acquaint students and their parents primarily with the academic aspects of the first-year experience. Heading to the Heights: First-year Student Guide Summer Welcome is followed by an extended, four-day "Fall Arrival" just prior to the beginning of classes in which first-year students have an opportunity to get to know each other as well as our faculty, administrators, and student leaders before current students arrive. Fall Arrival is based on Le Moyne's four ideals of Spirit, Inquiry, Leadership, and Jesuit. On Inquiry Day, first-year students devote time to academic issues including advisement, attend an academic fair, discuss their first-year Common Reading, meet their personal librarian, and gain an understanding of what is expected of them academically. First Year of College – In the fall, the First-year Advisement Program links academic advising to participation in AVS 101, a required one-credit, graded First-year Advisement Seminar. AVS 101 assists first-year students in developing the skills necessary to make valuable decisions throughout their academic career and in their transition to college. Faculty in the student's major serve as both the student's first-year advisor and AVS 101 instructor, creating opportunities for frequent interaction between advisor and advisee. First-year students who are undeclared have advisors especially skilled to assist them in self-assessment and major exploration. The First-year Advisement Seminar enables students to plan their academic careers while also encouraging them to explore their scholarly interests, to define their needs and talents, and to increase their awareness of, and commitment to, Le Moyne's mission. Departmental Advising – The Departmental Advisement Program assigns faculty advisors to sophomores, juniors, seniors and transfer students. Each student is advised by the department chair of the major or a faculty designee of the chair. Transfer students who are undeclared are advised by the assistant dean for academic advising and engagement. Students who remain undeclared in their sophomore year may continue to be advised by either their first-year advisor or the assistant dean. Academic Support Center Le Moyne students are encouraged to take advantage of the free services offered by the Academic Support Center (ASC). Located on the first floor of the Library, the ASC provides tutoring, study groups, individual consultations, learning strategies assistance, and workshops for all students seeking to improve their academic performance. The ASC also coordinates the academic support services for students with disabilities and students on academic probation. Academic Support Center Noreern Reale Falcone Library 315-445-4118 TTY/TDD: 315-445-4104 email@example.com Disability Support Services The Office of Disability Support Services, located on the first floor of the Library, arranges academic accommodations for eligible students with disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact disability support services as soon as possible to ensure that academic accommodations are made available in a timely manner. Written documentation attesting to the existence of the disabling condition and signed by a licensed professional is required before academic accommodations can be implemented. For more information, contact the office at (315) 445-4118.

Proven to enhance the college experience, learning communities enable new first-year students to engage in unique academic and social opportunities with their peers and faculty during the critical time of transition to college. Several options are available for first-year student participation. Residential, learning communities based on various disciplines or themes (such as biological sciences, teaching, performing arts or leadership) give students the opportunity to live with others who share similar interests and enroll in two or more key courses together as a group. Typically, the course content emphasizes the theme of the particular learning community. Learning communities also offer study groups for these linked courses. Students in learning communities often participate in out-of-class experiences as well including field trips and service learning activities. Learning communities engage students in and out of the classroom and build early, strong relationships between students and their peers and faculty. Research has shown that learning community students generally perform better academically, experience higher levels of satisfaction with their college experience, engage as student leaders and persist through graduation. Learning community options vary each academic year based on student interests and faculty availability. Please visit our website at www.lemoyne.edu/learning_communities, call (315) 445-4277 or email email@example.com for current options or with questions. International Student Advisement Le Moyne College provides its international students support regarding their immigration status. All undergraduate and graduate students who are studying at Le Moyne under the direction of an F-1 student visa receive assistance on issues such as maintaining status, employment, practical training, etc. They are also required to attend an international orientation upon their entrance into Le Moyne. This session provides students with valuable information regarding immigration regulations. Due to immigration guidelines, all F-1 students must complete their immigration registration paperwork during the first two weeks of each semester. In addition, they are required to maintain full-time enrollment and meet all other immigration regulations. Contact the Director of Student Outreach and Engagement for more information, call (315) 445-4624 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Comments On Oct 06, 2014:This harness is older style and with a few changes works great. Some thought is requited to run an integrated LED tail light. Also the ignition connection is just a split, so if you want full control some time with a volt meter is needed. Final issue was the old school bussman fuse. I replaced it with a mini fuse holder. Its 2014, only hardware stores have bussman fuses.

Comments On Jul 06, 2014:Together with the Tusk brand lighting, switches, and flasher, this harness makes it easy to convert your bike to street legal. Keep in mind that the connectors are designed to work with Tusk products and may not be compatible with other companies lights, switches, etc. Of course you can cut the connectors off and use your own but that is more work. Best to just use the Tusk stuff. The fit is excellent and all wires are there.

Comments On Dec 02, 2013:after wiring in the harness and all the necessary tusk switches we found we wanted to have the tail light turn on with the head light switch but it is wired for the running lights to be on when the switch is turned on yellow and black leads. I had to run a new wire to the red wire on the tusk rear brake light harness with (2) 6 amp diodes from radio shack wired each one to the high and low head lights this way they could not back feed and make all the headlights work regardless if high or low switch is on. Now we can run the running lights with the high and low switch and off when we don't want to be seen while ridding in low light conditions. The brake works regardless this way you use the brake in traffic and it work if you forget to turn on the running lights. The yellow and black wire up front is the common link for the entire wiring harness we just plugged them into them selves, we had a master switch installed for the power lead.

Comments On Nov 16, 2012:I have wired 2 bikes now with this harness and it works great. Ive wired a kx450 and a crf150r to make them street legal in AZ. This harness makes it much easier, especially if you are wanting to add turn signals, rear light, etc. HIghly recommended.

vibe/verve double kit sunhood
Sunhood for your vibe or verve double kit (second seat). This sunhood is the older style clip on canopy and will only be compatible with vibe & verve strollers manufactured prior to 2014.
Not currently available in this region.
the worst!

Vendredi 03 Octobre 20141/5
what is the point of a sun hood that doesn't actually stay open? This was so poorly designed.
Only Okay
Written by: OneinFlight
Lundi 22 Septembre 20142/5
So first let me say, this sunhood fits nicely on my stroller, arrived in 10 business days and technically works. It does indeed keep the sun out of my toddlers eyes.
The bad news is pretty bad though. I specifically purchased a vibe so I could collapse it without removing the 2nd seat... I now get to remove this sunhood every time instead because it won't collapse with it on... This is honestly not that easy to do and now there are 801 steps to get my vibe collapsed instead of the normal 798. (Okay it's more like 20)
Also I have a complaint about the way it's made. It doesn't "hold itself" opened like the main seat sunhood. It has a solid structure front band but the other two are just loose so it's frankly a little floppy and doesn't look neat and tidy like the main sunhood which has solid structure in front AND back
All in all I'm disappointed. It's really not worth sending it back but I don't think it'll get used much because it's more trouble than it's worth.

Synched Up: The Thaw, Songs to Soundtrack The Season's First Warm Day
Synched Up: Songs To Soundtrack The Season's First Warm Day
In 2014 you're only a phone, some earbuds and a few clicks of a button away from literally being able to create and listen to the soundtrack of your life, as you live it.
But finding that perfect song for that perfect moment is easier said than done. That's where our new series "Synched" comes in. We'll suggest five songs to help get you through some of the hallmark moments of your day, and since not all days are created equal — a summer afternoon in Shanghai calls for much different music than a winter night in New York City — we'll provide playlists for every combination of location, mood and situation we can think of.After walking you through the perfect polar vortex playlist, today we turn our attention to helping you thaw out for days when that cold front starts to blow over. So behold, five songs to help you finally put those frozen blues to rest.
Waking Up - Allen Stone, "Unaware"
Congratulations, you woke up and there's no longer frost coating the outside of your bedroom window. Looks like you might not have to wear that second pair of socks today.
But that doesn't mean you're living in a tropical paradise just yet, that Beach Boys album will have to stay on hold. Instead, turn to Allen Stone's "Unaware". The first few minutes of Stone's hazy, bluesy jam will be just the thing to get you out of bed softly and smoothly, but by the time Stone hits that high note in the finale, you'll feel ready to charge out the door and conquer the world. (You still might want to pack that second pair of socks though, just in case. You don't want to be caught unaware.)
Getting Out - Gary Clark Jr., "Bright Lights"
You're feeling pretty good. But that guy on the train, the one who keeps nodding his head in a trance, he looks like he's feeling really really good. Like he may be riding the train to his ordinary job, but when he gets to that job he's going to ask for a raise, and he's supremely confident he'll get it. If only you knew what he was listening to that gave him such supreme confidence.
We can't say for sure, but it's probably Gary Clark Jr. Electronic-driven drums have their place, but there's still nothing that that perfect blues guitar to really get you moving and put some strut in your step. So go ahead, press play; maybe it's time for you to ask for that raise too. Just don't let those bright lights in the big city go to your head.
Midday Break - SZA, "Babylon"
All this sunshine and motivation are great, but no one can be on 24 hours a day. At your lunch break you need a chance to zone out and notice the first few birds returning to the trees, not think about that annoying co-worker who drank some of the orange juice you clearly labeled with your name in the office fridge (again!).
One of the new signees to TDE (the label that put on Kendrick Lamar), and a former Pulse on Who's Next subject, SZA specializes in exactly that kind of trance-inducing music. Not icy, not hot, her music is just enough of everything you want, but not too much of anything. She's just....warm, and right now that's exactly what you need.
Party Time - Disclosure ft. Mary J. Blige "F for You"
"Get Lucky" was the party jam of last summer, and with its bright guitars and top-down feel, it's easy to hear why. But it's not convertible weather yet. What you need is a song that captures that same spirit, but just a little more toned down, something that gets you moving but doesn't demand a beach and tropical punch.
Welcome to Disclosure's "F for You." The English production duo have hit that perfect balance between live instrumentation and house bounce, and bringing in the immortal Mary J. Blige on vocals only gives the track that much more soul. Really get down to this and you might not even to put that sweater on during the walk home. Want to learn more about Disclosure? Check out our Artist of the Week feature!
Bed Time: Mayer Hawthorne "Reach Out Richard"
So you were finally feeling inspired enough by the warming weather to spend the night out with friends instead of immediately crawling back under the covers. But even after an hour or two at your favorite spot, the DJ still didn't play that perfect last song. Luckily, Mayer Hawthorne has everything you need.
Not only will "Reach Out Richard" cap off one of the sunnier days in what feels like forever, but even better, that bass line will bounce around your dreams and have you waking up feeling even more energized and ready to pound the pavement. It may not be summer yet, but you can feel it coming; or at the very least, you can hear it coming.

Pump is quiet and pressure switch shuts the pump off once float Valle is triggered. Can tell difference in flow rate and hope to see waste drop off resulting in lower water bill. highly recommend By steve on 12/16/2013 steve would recommend this product to a friend Love this pump !! Im running a 150g per day 5 stage rodi unit...this pump boosted my water pressure from 40 psi to over 90 psi...i dialed it back to 68psi and all is happy. This pump is very quiet and the kit has everything you need to install it...maybe order some extra tubing depending where you put it. Works Great By Christopher on 12/12/2013 Christopher would recommend this product to a friend Neede this pump due to low water pressure. pushed pressure from 35psi to 88psi. Runs very quiet. Great product. Booster pump By Bulldog on 12/12/2013 Bulldog would recommend this product to a friend Great pump quiet and doubled my water pressure. Great Product By Jennifer on 11/26/2013 Jennifer would recommend this product to a friend Hooked this up in minutes and it took my psi from 40 to 90. Took it from a trickle to a strong stream. Fills my holding tank at least 3 times faster. I live in a small town that has water with tons of crud in it was burning threw DI resin. Before I would have to change resin after filling my holding tank which holds about 30 gallons after 3 times. Now I have so far filled it 4 times and only about 1/4 of the resin had started to change color. Great Water Pressure By Sherman on 11/26/2013 Sherman would recommend this product to a friend I have a well for our water system and the pressure has never been very good so when I added my 75 GPD RODI system on it, which had a pressure gauge, I was surprised that it showed I only had 20 psi, so I bout the Aquatec 8800 and my pressure went up to just over 90 psi. I use to fill my 55 gal resureve over a period of several days, now I get a gallon in about 30 min. Performs as advertised By Geoff on 11/22/2013 Geoff would recommend this product to a friend The pump saved on DI resin and it created enough pressure to send product water horizontally 30' and vertically 12' to my ATO reservoir at a rate of 3 gallons per hour. I'm very glad that I bought this pump! Simple and effective By Ken on 11/14/2013 Ken would recommend this product to a friend I live on a well, 35-55 psi cycle. Attached the pressure gauge (sold separately) before the membrane and only 30 psi. Hooked up the pump, 5 minute job, and now I'm at 80 psi going into the membrane. Output went from a trickle to nice stream. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to fill my 25 gal WC container this weekend. At the tap for our drinking water the flow is more than doubled. Excellent product. works great By Ed on 11/7/2013 Ed would recommend this product to a friend I have about 37 psi out of my faucet, and made 1 gal about a half hour or more , now it's at 80 psi and 1 g a l in. About 15 minutes. My concern is that the Gage was going up to 90 psi as. I went along making water. I turn it down to 60. I don,t know which numbers I should watch, the outer numbers or the inner ones ?? Otherwise I'm very satisfied. A must have By Sven on 11/7/2013 Sven would recommend this product to a friend My Tap water pressure was running about 40 PSI. Ever since I bought this and adjusted my PSI to ~70 PSI I now produce product water 2-3 times faster... and my DI Resin lasts longer as well! Works great By Chuck on 11/4/2013 Chuck would recommend this product to a friend This is just what I needed. I had a little over 37psi before I added this pump. I am now running at about 80psi now. Works great. Great Investment to a RODI system By Kha on 11/2/2013 Kha would recommend this product to a friend I had 45psi on my 75gph + 150gph upgrade RODI system until I added this pump. My psi is now 82-ish. Working great so far! Very easy to assemble and BRS already has a video on the installation (not that you would really need it). The pump makes some noise (very little) and vibration as all pumps do. The bracket seems to help out a bit. Not very concerned about the noise level since its going to be installed in a basement/ garage area. Wished the transformer had mounting hardware for the wall as the RODI and booster pump does. It has 4 rubber feet that sits on a horizontal surface. Not a big deal and not worth dropping any stars.

Gallery: Stacked Shipping Containers Create Smart Green Homes in Malays...
Designer Ken Kwok leads the firm Anand Bungalows, and has a wealth of experience in residential design having built hundreds of homes in and around Malaysia. This recycled container house is located in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang and consists of six, stacked containers – four of which are oriented north and south and two oriented east and west. The four containers are stacked to create a two-story volume with the doors oriented to the north to form partial enclosures for the balconies and windows. In between the container volumes, a double height atrium was constructed allowing for proper ventilation – hot air rises and the windows on opposing sides encourage cross ventilation.
Built on a concrete pier foundation, the home has a light footprint on the surrounding land. The large shed roofs keep sun off the containers and minimize heat gain, while directing rainwater into a large cistern underneath the house. Grey water is recycled and used along with the rainwater in the gardens. Moreover, low flow water fixtures, energy-efficient appliances and natural daylighting help reduce the footprint of the home even further.

Innovative idea, nice design and this is one of the solution for current building methods. Looking forward to see more in Asian Countries on Shipping Container Home.

Amazing and Innovative!
March 31, 2011 at 12:45 am
The effort of the designer can be seen in the design and he cleverly created a double volume space between 40′ footers and 20′ footers. Thank you for the video clips that tells a lot!
January 5, 2011 at 2:57 am
AWesome!Would like to build one soon!
December 27, 2010 at 4:28 pm
A great design using recycled materials. At some point the shipping container concept isn't going to be noteworthy though. There are tons of similar projects happening all over the world. The additional sustainable features in this project is what sets it apart. It would be an ideal submission to the Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction. http://on.fb.me/holcim-awards

BLOCH BUILDING by Steven Holl
Architect Steven Holl is no stranger to remarkably lit gallery spaces, and his latest addition to the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Missouri is a notable display of his talents in using architectural daylighting to create stunning interior spaces. Free to the public, the Bloch Building uses every facet of natural light to a variety of gallery spaces bringing perfectly balanced illumination to both a Noguchi Sculpture exhibit and another gallery with historic pictures that requires a low-light atmosphere. The light in the Bloch building, whose walls consist of large amounts of translucent glass, have been perfectly calibrated along with the use of fluorescents to account for the varying luminosity from season to season, and even from day to night. We were lucky enough to get a private viewing of the museum prior to its June opening to the public.
The outside appearance of the Bloch Building does not prepare you for the space you experience once inside. The large volumes of the building pierce the landscape of the Country Club Plaza district, following the line of the hillside like a little child whose full hands couldn't carry their set of building blocks, dropping a few along the way. In the interior, visitors will have a hard time figuring out which glowing box they are in, with the differing grade changes and curved coves weaving through gallery spaces.
Fluttering T walls, conceived by Steven Holl Architects are dually functional, serving as the main structural thrust for each illuminated block, while also deflecting the natural light downwards into the interior spaces. Steven Holl Architect's senior partner worked closely with museum hired Richard Renfro, of Renfro Design Group (light specialists) making sure the light levels in each gallery space (and even the underground parking garage) were calculated to the recommended levels to best display the art while preserving it. Even with the overcast winter sky during our tour, the spaces were entirely lit through the day by natural light. It almost excuses the fact that the museum is illuminated like lanterns during the night, making the surrounding sculpture park equally as enjoyable any time of day. Almost…

I, too, am a life long resident of this odd mix of town and metropolis, and grew up playing at the feet of the now-famous Quan Yin statue which resides in the most venerable of all our lovely galleries in this space. My mother was in the first child's art class in the Nelson, in the 1930's. I feel deeply, inexorably connected to this space, both the old and the new, and its contents. I too was mortified by the placement of Claes and Brujie Von Oldenburgs' playful works on the venerable lawn. But Marc (and his wife, Elizabeth) Wilson (Museum Director) have had excellent instincts about when this institution has been in danger of fossilization. They and their board of Trustees have made the right choice of architect. I say this because this midwestern museum has -always- harbored a sense of majesty and eternity in its collections–the ancient Chinese scrolls and Buddhist sculpture, the great paintings of Europe, the particular contemporary leanings towards sculptors such as Henry Moore and Noguchi, whose work is both human and also containing a very timeless stillness–therefore, the choice of an architect who has bestowed upon us this incarnated light–light itself being the most timeless of elements (unless we face a nuclear war and are denied the sun for several years) was perfect. I just heard him speak at the opening this evening, and he spoke of holding ideals closely, and sacrificing the pedestrian for those ideals. I am content with these glowing boxes on the lawn. Very content. If anything, I believe the boxes do not take much risk at all–but I know they do. In these distracted modernist times, to be daringly classical is in itself a risk. P

I am a resident of Kansas City, Missouri, educated, well-traveled, well-read. I resent the foisting of the shuttle-cocks on the lawn of the Nelson, hair curler columns on I-35-I-70 coming through the heart of the city and now this anomaly known as the Bloch Building. The magnificent Nelson-Atkins Museum deserves better than the shock value this effort delivers. The generosity of the Blochs to this city is legendary, and I'm certain many agree with the accolades for this building, but I feel like one of the minions viewing the Emperor's new clothes.
May 1, 2007 at 10:11 pm
I'm not so sure that it is "green" but the building is forward thinking with lighting. Which, in turn, will decrease energy consumption
April 28, 2007 at 8:16 pm
good looking but can someone tell me why i dont feel green there?
April 27, 2007 at 6:36 pm
I too got a small tour of this building. Three things I liked (other than the obvious).
1. Fantastic handrails!
2. The "stich" track lighting (visible in the bottom picture), much less distracting than at other new buildings (MOMA, DeYoung).
3. (the big one). The Nelson is forgoing admission fees, so you can enter and exit at any point in the museum– you can leave, walk on the green roof, and reenter at another point. This is FANTASTIC and entirely unprecedented.

I've always felt that the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain was too much… as it seemed to really 'try' so very hard to 'compete' with the artwork that it was built to display. This building, in contrast, is very beautiful and truly a work of Art itself, as it's both a building and an inhabitable sculpture… yet, it leaves the space required to allow the Art it displays to be the main focus. This is a great design. Congratulations to all. (Is it possible to dim the lights at night ? Are there provisions built into the design that would allow for additional lighting to be installed, if deemed necessary at some future time… without destroying the clean flowing lines of this design ?)

One more reason to go visit KC. I can't think of other reasons at the moment, but I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised.

As a long time Kansas City resident I'm looking forward to the opening of this space. Until then, I'll just enjoy seeing it from the outside.

The white vertical planks of custom LINIT channel glass comprise the lenses of Steven Holl's Bloch Building at the Nelson-Atkins Museum. The LINIT brand of channel glass, manufactured by Lamberts in Germany, is imported to the USA by Bendheim Wall Systems. With over 100,000 square feet of LINIT channel glass, the Bloch Building is easily the largest channel glass project in the country. LINIT channel glass is also a key design element on Steven Holl's 2007 AIA New York Chapter Honor Award winning Central Section of Higgins Hall at Pratt Institute and new Swiss Embassy residence.. Why is LINIT channel glass installed on this stellar projects? No other channel glass source gives as much critical support to the architect and valuable assistance to the glazier as Bendheim Wall Systems does. To use LINIT channel glass to enhance your distinctive designs, call me at 800-221-7379 X 223 or email me at email@example.com. Thank you.

This is wonderful! This serves of a perfect example of the ability to create unique interior spaces without compromising the clean feeling of natural light. Also the contrast of the interior and exterior spaces is brilliant. Good stuff. We need more of this!
