Class 5A, District 6 Girls Soccer: Greene's 3 Goals Pace Jenkins to Victory

LITHIA | The game plan for the George Jenkins girls soccer team Tuesday night was simple: Just win.
That's what senior midfielder Lauren Greene said after her second hat trick in as many games propelled the Eagles to a 3-1 win over Bloomingdale in the Class 5A, District 6 semifinals at Newsome High School. Sophomore goalkeeper Haleigh Mercer had 14 saves.
The win ensures George Jenkins a spot in the Class 5A regional playoffs and a chance to head back to the FHSAA state finals for redemption.
"It's a big deal," Greene said of the win. "I had full confidence in our team. I knew we could do it."
The field was muddy and the scoreboard stopped working four minutes into the game, but those were the same conditions George Jenkins played in during Saturday's district quarterfinal victory against Strawberry Crest.
About 16 minutes into the game, Greene scored her first goal, a straight shot assisted by her sister, Maddie.
"I think she's making me a better player," said Maddie Greene, who was on the team as a freshman last year but is a starter now.
Bloomingdale tied it up 1-1 on a penalty kick by Marissa Webber into the bottom right corner with 7:30 left in the first half.
Lauren Greene went on to score two more goals in the second half to punch the Eagles' postseason ticket.
George Jenkins will play No. 1 seed Lithia Newsome for the district championship Friday night at 7. Newsome defeated Durant 6-0 earlier in the afternoon. Win or lose, the Eagles will still be in the regional playoffs.
"It's always good to get the No. 1 seed and to make a statement and to have the district title," George Jenkins coach Marissa Kazbour said. "You're going to move on in the playoffs and you might face them again, so you hope your kids come out and play."
In their last meeting Dec. 17, Newsome beat George Jenkins 2-1. The Eagles will have the support of the other 5A-6 teams.
"Everyone wants us to beat them," Maddie Greene said. "Every team."

Ok for the last 10 years ash ketchum has remained the same age, 10!! I watching the 5th gen show when the announcer said he was a 10 year old kid, but how is that possible when he went to 3 different regions.I would least expect him to be at least 15 by now!!
Why does ash never age!!!
02-27-2011, 08:13 PM (This post was last modified: 02-27-2011, 08:15 PM by AvengingxAngel.)
Because Ash is actually a vampire in disguise. XD. No, probably because if he aged he'd be like late 20 something now, and a 30 year old guy running around trying to catch little creatures wouldn't appeal to the targeted audience age.
Yea guess your rite,it is a kids show if that were to happen kids would freak out. :0
AxA is right, and I have a little thing to point out.
Sure, every season and sub-section season:
Kanto Season
-Indigo Plateau Challenge
-Johto Journeys
-Johto Champion
-Hoenn League
-Sinnoh League
etc, you get the idea. I'd like to think within a month, each season occurred. For example, in January, Ash got Pikachu his first Pokemon. All of everything in Kanto happened in January to about the beginning of February. So if the Kanto seasons were in January to February, Johto season was in February to March, Hoenn season was March to April, and Sinnoh was April to May, within one year, he would still be "10" if counting his birthday is in January.
Even though all those episodes took about 2 years for the season to complete before Ash moved on to the new region... Unova is now from "May to June" in this sense.
This is how I like think of this and my take on this situation; that each season goes on, in our real world time, "a month and a half". And he would at least be... about 17 years old, which is the same age as Wes, the main playable character in Pokemon Colosseum (yay Wes <33) which isn't so bad.
Nice point Galdr but he's still weird for being 10. >_>
Yeah I agree SOTM. It is weird.
I want his never-aging magic skills...
(02-28-2011, 02:34 AM)Galdr Wrote: Yeah I agree SOTM. It is weird.
Lol. Perhaps he drank from the Fountain of Youth everyday! I think your theory makes a lot of sense.
I wonder something. If Red is Ash's Dad, then the Prof. Oak currently is Blue, right? Then why does the past Oak look like th- *headsplosion*
Hey... Go check out the comics thread in a few minutes xD
Ash has a secret stash of the Fountain of Youth's water in his backpack. XD
Uh, you mean Green Oak? Green = Gary Oak. Blue is the female trainer from FRLG, according to the manga. Sorry... I despise calling Gary "Blue", which is his English Dubbed name. *Japanese SoulSilver ftw*
I saw that comic. XD LOL
I kinda like the theory that Ash can't age because of what happened at the end of the first movie took that away from him - I can't imagine being brought back from the dead as being consequence-free.
Yeah, I was a bit surprised too when I saw the B/W's first episode.
In fact, after 14 seasons, the mystery about ages is unveild: nobody growns up.
And if you've seen some changes about Ash's age, you're just pwned, that's it.
... Because it's true that when you've watched Pokémon in the same time that Digimon like me, with all comparisions that we did about that, you thought "but... Taï growns up... and Ash doesn't?".
(I know it's a bit silly, but almost everyone's done this comparision at the time.)
And now, after ten years where we thought "well, he's about 15 years old right now", you just learn, like that, that he just still has the same age at the beginning...
... And at this moment, I think the only sentence we can think its "what the f...".
Thank you for having enlighten us, now, we can stop our debates about Ash's age and make some more doubtful ones about how is he doing. ♥
Still a big step for the Pokéscience. o/ *out*
P.S: By the way, I've thought to the Fountain of Youth too. :3
Those little kids will think something is suspicious in a few years. It's just a kid show...
Just a kid show who leads to a lot of doubtful questions. :3
Ya, Ash never ages. but yet Proffessor Oak does!
Warning: Spoiler Alert for people who don't know about Proffessor Oak's past.
If you remember one of the past episodes, Ash meets a boy named Sammy. They become really friends throughout the episode. At one point in the episode, Sammy draws a picture of Ash with Pikachu on his shoulder and shows it to Ash. He has some bread that his mother made for him "20 years ago". Reason being that Celebi caught Sammy in the forest and transported him to Ash's time, 20 years into the future. At the end of the episode, Celebi transports Sammy back to his time.
Ash is talking to Oak on the telephone at the pier while they were waiting for their boat. When Ash mentioned meeting a boy from the past, Oak simply said "I'm sure you and Sammy will be best friends forever" and hangs up. Then if you recall, Misty then asks Ash and Brock how Oak knew Sammy's name even though it was never mentioned. The scene then cuts to the lab where Oak is going through his scrapbook and finds the same picture sammy drew for Ash. He then says, "Remember it like it was yesterday...". So therefore, Professor Oak is actually Sammy! Just 20 years older!
(02-28-2011, 12:05 PM)PikachuFreak Wrote: Ya, Ash never ages. but yet Proffessor Oak does!
^Mainly because of what Spiri said in his post, probably why.
That's in Movie 4: Pokemon 4Ever with Celebi & Suicune, when Sammy draws a picture of Pikachu and Celebi. And everything else Bryan said, it's correct. :3
I'm gonna watch that movie again xD Anyways back to topic, guy's its just a cartoon. Cartoons doesn't have to be fiction xD It's gamefreak's decision to keep Ash ten years old. Your decision may be different. But since it's a kids show, they thought it would be best to keep him young. It's not something super important like talking about the the future is gonna be or what xD *Takes a bite of rice* But everyone has opinions, for me, I really don't care if he's older or younger xD I was expecting a new character like form the video games. Or even better, the manga version to be the series. (The manga is way better than the series imo) But like what I said, "It's just a cartoon" or anime xD
I really don't mine the ageing..But I just want to know..HOW could a 10 year old girl (Dawn) Have an upper chest like that? <Serious question> She's 10!!
Actually..I remember watching Pokemon Movie (3?) The unown. And I'm sure there was a Mini epsiode of the pichu brothers...and At the End ash says
"Pikachu, Have you forgot what today is? Its the day we first met, The day we first became friends..So surely that must mean he's 11 (Due to it being his in the first episode) and that you must be 10 to own the trainer card and to leave home.
Also.... ash be 24 -25..and therefore making brock 28-30? o.o
IF the anime was first aired in 1997..april 1st ..(and the first episode being his birthday) But obliviously Anime time doesn't correspond to proper times =| Still..Something I just wanted to add
<CLicks post reply>
Pfft. Girls have bigger at like, 9. It's a shame...
But I think I read somewhere that Ash is 15 in the B/W series.

You can't trust what people "read somewhere". A while ago, when there was much less information about Black and White, that Bel/Belle was the Champion of the region. XD
Still, that would've been awesome.
It's just the result lazy work and a bad sense of letting him look the same throughout the series.

I use wordpress API outside of the wordpress installation (example.com/blog/). Namely, I use it on the index page of my site (e.g. http://example.com/ or http://example.com/index.php).
In the WP-SuperCache settings I have "index.php" in the Rejected URIs, but it still caches it.
Is it possible to reject URIs outside of the /blog/ directory where wordpress is installed? Or perhaps can you add an option to not cache files outside of the wordpress directory?

Checked in on Tuesday, August 2. Had planned on staying until Thursday, August 4, 2011. Went to bed approximatly 11:30 and was awakened by a "crawling feeling" about 1am. I got up and went the the restroom and then used my cell phone light to look at the sheets so I wouldn't awaken anyone else. I didn't see anything and went back to bed. The second time was about 2:30. I killed a bug on my neck. I thought it might have been a mosquito, giving them the benefit of the dought. Then about 4:30 am
I I turned the light on, killed another bug. I awoke my family. On inspection of the sheets and room, there were tiny bugs on the bed and a larger bug on the wall. We loaded the car to leave. "William" at the desk had no idea what the bugs were and refused to refund for Tuesday night, he did refund for Wednesday night. With nowhere to go at 5 am, we made the 3 hour drive home; cutting our mini vacation short.

Oregon State Hospital in Salem, Oregon, United States, established in 1883 as the Oregon State Insane Asylum, is the primary state-run psychiatric hospital in the state of Oregon since Dammasch State Hospital closed in 1995. The 620-bed facility is best known as the filming location for the Academy Award-winning film based on Ken Kesey's novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.[1] The aging facility (along with the state legislature which funds it) has been criticized as providing substandard mental health care.[2]
Nineteenth century[edit]
Built in 1883 as the "Oregon State Insane Asylum," much of the original structure remains in use. Some wings of the original building, however, have been off-limits due to physical deterioration.
The original Oregon Hospital for the Insane was established by J.C. Hawthorne in what was then East Portland, Oregon, (now the Hawthorne District). The facility was built in 1862, and the street on which it was built was renamed Asylum Avenue. Local residents protested about the name, however, and it was renamed Hawthorne in honor of the hospital's founder in 1888.[3]
The street in Salem on which the current hospital is located, Center Street, was also originally named Asylum Avenue.[4]
Twenty-first century[edit]
In 2005, an architectural assessment of the facility determined that the site was unsafe.[1] On August 8, 2006, the hospital was fined USD $10,200 for asbestos violations.[5]
Another controversy at the hospital involves the fate of over 5000 cans of human cremated remains that are warehoused at the site. The remains were the subject of a Pulitzer Prize-winning series by The Oregonian newspaper.[6][7] As of July 2014, state officials had discovered that 1,500 sets of remains may have been lost.[8]
A report from the United States Department of Justice criticized the quality of care provided to patients by the hospital.[9][10][11] A $458 million plan approved by the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 2007 called for the construction of a replacement hospital in Salem with as many as 620 beds, as well as a 360-bed facility in Junction City.[9] Most of the dilapidated, 125-year-old main building was torn down and replaced starting in the fall of 2008.[12] Construction of the Salem facility began in 2009, and was completed around 2011; with the Junction City facility being completed by 2013.[9] Salem mayor Janet Taylor has called for the number of beds to be reduced to 320 or fewer, and another hospital facility to be built in or near Portland.[11]
During a 2008 excavation, artifacts dating to an 1850s-era frontier homestead were uncovered on the grounds of the Oregon State Hospital campus. Recovered items included earthen dishes, glass windows, a canning jar and a lamp chimney. Further excavation will be required to determine if the artifacts are connected to the 1852 homestead of Morgan L. "Lute" Savage.[13] Construction on the new hospital was completed in 2012, with capacity increased to 620 beds.[14] The hospital also added a museum, the Museum of Mental Health.[14] The museum is located in the Kirkbride Building and includes history about many of the discontinued practices that are no longer considered proper treatment for mental illnesses.[14]
Population and administration[edit]
About two-thirds of the hospital's patients in 2008 had been found guilty of crimes, and also to be insane. Others were a danger to themselves or to others.[9] A 2005 census of the state hospitals in Oregon (in Salem, Portland, and Pendleton) listed close to 750 patients.[15] The Oregon Department of Corrections also treats persons with mental illness and a 2004 report found that 1623 prisoners in the state prison facilities had serious and persistent mental illness.[16]
In March 2005, the state closed the adolescent treatment ward of the Oregon State Hospital,[17] which now provides services only to people over the age of 18. Greg Roberts is the current Superintendent. Deputy Superintendent Nena Strickland was an Interim Superintendent of Oregon State Hospital effective April 2, 2010, and she succeeded Roy J. Orr, who resigned at the request of Richard Harris, then Deputy Director of Addictions and Mental Health, following the release of a state report which concluded that the hospital failed to provide adequate care and treatment for a patient, Moises Perez, age 42, who died there in October 2009. Orr had been Superintendent since February 25, 2008.[18] Harris, now head of Oregon Health Authority's[19] Addictions and Mental Health Division,[18] has current responsibility for state hospitals in Salem, Portland and Pendleton, in addition to the staff who work with county governments to deliver statewide mental-health and addiction services.[20] The previous state hospital administrator was Marvin Fickle from 2004–2008.[21] Stan Mazur-Hart was administrator from 1991–2004.[22]
Tunnels and narrow-gauge railroad[edit]
The remains of a narrow gauge railroad can be seen on the grounds of the hospital, leading into different tunnels and buildings. The tunnels allowed the hospital to move patients between buildings without the public observing and are marked by purple-colored[23] glass prisms embedded in the roads to provide lighting.[24] The tunnels connect different buildings of the State Hospital together. The narrow gauge railroad did extend to the penitentiary but not within a tunnel; remnants of this line still existed as of February 2009.[25] The State Capitol and associated buildings also have a tunnel system to this day (parts of which are publicly accessible) but they have never been connected to the State Hospital.
While the narrow gauge railroad is no longer used, the tunnels were once used daily to deliver food, laundry, and other items, and occasionally patients between different buildings. The rails are no longer evident in many places and the flangeways are filled in, leaving only the head of the rail exposed.[25]
At one point transport within the tunnels was by means of electric carts and occasionally bicycles. When the railroad was used, cars made of bamboo were pushed to their destinations.[25] Few spurs or sidings were found on the railroad, so cars were simply stopped on the track where it was necessary to load or unload them, and then pushed away. A number of the bamboo railroad cars were converted to non-rail cars by removing the railroad wheels and adding casters; one of these cars is displayed in the Oregon State Hospital Mental Health Museum.[26]
In addition to the narrow gauge railroad, a standard gauge railroad spur from the Southern Pacific's Geer Branch extended north from the penitentiary to the State Hospital. A portion of the grade of this spur remains along with two short portions of the standard gauge rails embedded in asphalt within and outside of a wood products manufacturing area on the hospital grounds. This spur has been unused for many years and the Geer Branch itself was abandoned in the mid-1990s.

Hello to everyone, great community.
I'm having this problem, and been trying for weeks now to solve it, but no luck . If you guys could help me it would be great.
I have 3 .php files, for inserting grades into DB, update results, and one for reporting results (all files attached, I just changed extension to .txt so I can upload them). I changed encoding from UTF-8 without BOM to UTF-8 in Notepad++, but still no luck.
Problem is I can't get it to show utf-8 characters when reading from DB. I changed encoding in DB and tables, and everything is set to "utf8_general_ci", and characters are showing correctly in table when I check them via phpMyadmin.
I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks in advance.

First time playing ... My Thoughts ...
Wow ...
I haven't even finished this game yet and it is amazing.
The first hour or two of the game was the hardest for me in terms of 'staying interested'. I'm not really used to 'slow-paced' games these days, mostly due to the influx of 'action-horror' titles like Resident Evil 5 & 6, and even Dead Space to an extent. So it took me a bit of adjusting to just relax, and stop worrying how many 'machine gun rounds' I had.
But because I am a big survival horror junkie, I decided to give this game a go after owning it for some time.
I just completed the prison area and am still making my way through. This game is the epiphany of survival horror. I can't believe I didn't play this back in the day. What was I thinking? ...
The game's use of dark ambience, horror tones and music (by Akira Yamoka) combined with horrifying environments and a sense of total isolation is truly chilling. At some points I felt sick playing ... and at some points I would stare at a door for 5 minutes instead of opening it because I didn't want to 'see what was on the other side', completley terrified.
It's amazing how simplistic the game is compared to newer games nowdays and yet, it manages to make me 'feel' more. It's a shame games like this don't really exist anymore. This game has made it into my 'top 10' games of all time.
The Survival Horror genre has really declined as of late. The recent release of Resident Evil 6 shows how it is evolving ... action THEN 'some horror'. I have accepted that this is the way the genre is heading, but hope at some point another game with the same tone, feel and sense of dread like Silent Hill 2 is made.
A masterpiece.
P.S. If you enjoyed this, check out the 'Under-The-Radar' gem called "Deadly Premonition" released in 2010.
I'm glad to see you like it, I'm with you on this. There's just one thing you mentionned that isn't really true... You said the game was simple, believe me, it's not at all, with all the different endings, all the theories and mystries. You'll understand once you'll finish it!
and you were right on everything else lol, specially the " Masterpiece " !
There aren't many buttons to use as oppossed to games nowdays where virtually every button is mapped to a move or action.
In this game it was just basically left stick to move aroud RT+A to melee or shoot.
oh ok, but you were right anyway lol, the game is amazing, the 2nd one is better than the 3rd one imo!
I agree, I can't believe I didn't pick this up back in the day. Sadly it doesn't really apply past SH3. I tried playing Silent Hill 4: The Room and found myself bored to tears.
Can't say much for Silent Hill 2 as of yet, but Silent Hill 3 I managed to beat twice over within about ~4 hours. Lots of fun, definitely very interesting, though the excessive use of untouched areas is a bit saddening. Though no one really wants to lurking about in Silent Hill for too long to see the scenery anyway... You never know when something will pop out to thoroughly destroy your anus.
lol Yes Deadly premonition was brilliant. Did you know they are making a sequel. Loved how insane the main character was. Really an under the radar game but very good.
Playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time tomorrow night. Very excited!
Silent Hill 2 probably had me freaked out more than any game I've ever played. The nice simplicity in the controls leaves just enough to be desired that you panic whenever you see more than one enemy. Playing in the dark, alone, with the volume up high is definitely the way to play it.
When I first started playing this game I expected it to be more of a Resident Evil clone, so I expected some jumps, but mostly survival. I even played with a couple of friends, each of us had our own tv and console hooked up. WE were caught off guard as all three of us would constantly pause to just let the horror sink in, this games environments and ambiance is probably the best of any game I've ever played
Just started this game (currently on sale) and i'm absolutely loving it. Very good ambiance, which keeps me at the edge of my seat.
Can't wait to see how the game will unfold further on.
I played this on the original xbox just last year! I actually agree with everything the OP just typed! I wish I could play Silent Hill 3 though.
Man, I need to make some time to get back to this game.

Posted 09 February 2009 - 10:40 PM
2009 is bringing a wave of changes in TLC's set lines – civilian and farm sets in the town line, a castle village, long awaited kits of popular Starwars movie locations and spaceships – and of course, the return of Pirates. Yes, after nearly a decade and a half, and two beyond disappointing 4+ and Duplo "pirate themes," one of TLC's most popular and enduring lines is finally returning with the first proper System line since 1996. Today, I'll be bringing you a review of one of the largest sets in the new line, the impressive Soldier's Fort.
Name - Soldier's Fort
Set Number – 6242
Year – 2009
Theme - Pirates
Pieces – 367
Minifigures – 6, plus two animals
Age Recommendation – 6 to 12 years
Price – $49.99 USD / 51.99 EUR / 34.25 GPB
The Box and Instructions:
The new pirates line has excellent boxes, and Soldier's Fort is no exception. There's plenty of action going on in the frontal box shot, which will certainly give kids a lively and adventurous impression. I especially like the new logo – it looks like it's made up of driftwood and bones. Also, up at the top-right corner, you can see the label pointing out that this kit has a "modular build," and is "easy start." The first we already know is true, but will the second hold steady as well?
On the back of the box, you have a smaller action scene, shots showing the action features and modular system, a small corner shot of the big Pirate ship of the line, and my favorite - an impressive array of accessories. Note however that since the keys come attached to a plastic sprue, you get two instead of the single one pictured on the box.
The instructions are arguably as good as the box art – the steps are simple and easy to follow, there's very little color confusion, and the instructions have a weathered parchment look, complete with a "rolled up" part in some of the corners.
The Pieces and Minifigures:
One of the unfortunate weak points in this set is the low piece count for the price, which seems to be more a sign of the times than a notable exception to the rule (this problem is widespread through much of the 2009 lego line). Still, you do get some great pieces in this kit, both old and new. Bits I found interesting include one of the new iron bar doors introduced in 2008, a light grey iron bar window, a new fortress wall that is completely square, a large dark blue plate, a street lamp pole, and a brand new flag. Unfortunately, the flag is plastic, not cloth, probably no doubt because cloth is far more expensive to make than plastic. Also, for some reason TLC decided that it was a good idea to print their copyright ON the flag. That's very disappointing, but at least it's not as noticeable as it is on the Pirate ship's sails (yes, they have the same problem ).
On a much more positive note, Soldiers Fort is absolutely loaded with accessories. A cannon, three flags, a telescope, a piece of dynamite, a torch, two muskets, two pistols, two cutlasses, two keys, two oars, three barrels, a fish, a banana, three jewels, and a treasure chest filled with coins! It's a proverbial boatload, and there's a great mix of old and new molds. The pearl grey cannon and the fish are especially wonderful.
Now, the figures! 6242 contains 6 figures – four Imperials and two pirates. I'll start off with the imperials. As you can see, they are very sharp, with their bright uniforms and printed hats. I love the new plume, and the exclusive Governor figure is outstanding.
Even better is the fact that the backs are printed! Love the satchels and coat buttons.
Next, the pirates. Captain Brickbeard, while a very nice figure, is the only figure in the new line that you really need only one of, so it's disappointing that he appears in more sets than any other figure. Still, he is wonderful, and it's great to see the return of the peg leg and hook molds. Oh, and we also get a generic pirate. Love the new face and torso, which both look especially manly.
Again, printed backsides. Brickbeard has a coat buckle!
Finally, it's worth mentioning that you get two animals in this set – a dark green crocodile and a monkey. Lego monkeys continue to look bizarre with their yellow hands, but it adds to the cartoony feel. Note that I didn't include the fish in this picture, because he's obviously dead and only ranks as an accessory in my mind.
The Building Process:
Since the box advertises this set to be an "easy start," most would assume that the kit is fairly simple to build. And they'd be right. 6242 is really a breeze to put together – with one notable exception. You should have noticed by now that the Soldier's Fort includes crane, and that unfortunately means tying a string to the ends of the hook and winch. Now, I know that this was necessary to achieve that function, but I highly doubt an average young kid would be able to tie the ultra-thin string included through the tiny holes. Even I had trouble with this, which was why I got my mom to do this part for me (women have more delicate and precise fingers than us men ). Otherwise though, the building went off without a hitch.
The Finished Model:
I'll start off with the smallest and most simple component, the Pirate rowboat. It's great to see this mold back, and IMO it looks fine in the new brown color. Also, the flag looks good to me, even though it has a more cartoonish skull. There's no real build here, however, although as an interesting note, the instructions mistakenly tell you to attach the flag to the FRONT of the boat, which just looks weird. Another note is that Brickbeard can't actually sit down in the boat, due to his peg leg.
Now, onto the real meat of this set – the fort itself. It's fairly impressive, and is bigger in real life than it may look on the box.
First, let's take a look at the jail cell. I like the little lanterns on the edges of the walls. Unfortunately, the brick wall patterns are stickers, which makes this the only kit in the line to have a DSS. Still, this does mean that the walls are more useable than if they were printed.
One of the neat features is that the jail cell has a slide away wall, which allows for both easy play and a good overall look (I for one am getting a bit annoyed with lego jail cells that don't actually have any backs). There's not really anything inside the cell, but that's probably fairly accurate for this time period.
Oh, and did I mention that there's also a spider web sticker? This is nice, as the actual lego spider web part is way too big for a scene like this.
On top of the jail cell, there's a nice spot for a rotating cannon, which also has two cannonballs and, oddly, an old style "torch." Considering that there's a much better torch in this kit as well, I don't understand why they added that. Also, you may not know that the turntable is the free-swerve type rather than a clicking interval type, and it is actually a special base attached to one of the new circular plates. That makes it less tall than earlier turntables, which could be useful.
Next, here's the small part with the palm tree and a little bridge. I honestly feel that this bridge may be nicest part of the entire kit – it just is so effective and neatly designed. Unfortunately, the palm tree is the awful single-piece trunk type. Oh well, at least the leaves are separate…
A cool feature not on the box is the ability to lift the palm tree base up, revealing a small hideaway with three jewels inside.
The third part of the fort is this area with a small shack-like construction that has a barrel with a fish under it. The flagpole is attached to the very corner, and there's a Brickbeard wanted poster sticker on one of the shack's back pillars.
Finally, the biggest part of the fort, the tower with the crane. Some black dock ends and hanging flags are nice touches.
Unfortunately, there's nothing much inside, other than an admittedly nice ale barrel with a tap. Please ignore the spiderweb – it's actually supposed to be inside the jail cell, but I didn't notice I had used that particular stickered piece in the tower until after I had built the kit for the second time.
And of course, the crane. Despite the difficulty in attaching the string, this actually looks fairly nice, and it does offer a fair amount of playability.
One final note regarding this set is the aformentioned modularity that is incorporated in this set. As you can see here, the fort breaks up into four sections, which are connected together with technic pins. This means two things - the fort can be aranged in different positions, and it will be fairly easy for fans to build their own interconnecting additions for the fort. I think this is a great new approach to Imperial forts, and I hope that TLC releases more modular buildings to add to this set.
The Model In Action:
Today, Port Regal has received some special guests. A Spanish trading ship has arrived at the docks, carrying plenty of booty from the New World. Governor Hastings welcomes them eagerly, hoping to score some more gold for himself. But, in the midst of this friendly meeting, the notorious Captain Brickbeard is sneaking into the port, hoping to steal all the Aztec riches for himself! "I'll get me plunder, or ye ship shall burn to rubble!" the captain whispers, glancing at the dynamite he has aboard his boat with glee.
Presentation – 10/10
Pieces – 8/10 (stickers, one piece palm tree trunks, and the poor quality of the flags take some points off)
Minifigs – 10/10
Model – 8/10 (great, but could be better)
Playability – 9/10
Price – 5/10 (Very expensive)
Overall Rating – 8.3/10
Soldier's Fort is hardly the perfect kit. The model is a bit simple, the quality of some of the pieces is not the greatest, and the price is very high. But, considering that Pirates have been gone for over a decade and a half, this kit and the others in the line are a breath of fresh air. Get it on sale, or get it normally, but I highly urge you to buy this kit if you're a Pirate fan, or a fan of good lego in general.

I hate the hideous palmtree, and that there are stickers, but I much prefer this jaildoor over the old one. Gotta get me some of those doors. Those new wall panels look more usefull than the old ones, allthough they seem less stable in a structure. And the modularity is nice as well.

While this set is definitely a bit overpriced, I still love it, especially the great minifigs. The modular aspect is wonderful and I plan on expanding my Soldiers' Fort and incorporating it into a much larger MOC.
Thanks again for the review! I'll write up a CP article for it.

I can't wait to get this set when it arrived in my country and it looks to be one of the best set ever for the Imperial Navy faction since it is able to create different modular design. For this, many hardcore collectors could easily buy up to 3 to 4 sets to build an extensive harbour. Furthermore, what I like about this set just by looking at the review is, I think I could integrate this fortress to my castle collection. Sorry if I sound a little wierd, but I do think it looks much better for this to be integrated with the Medieval Market Villiage with slight modifications. I am sure it will look nice. That will be something for me to look forward to when I am able to get hold of these.

why would they do that?
oh i miss the old palm tree that you could make as tall or short as you wanted..
this must be the worst part in this set..
otherwise i love the accessories but the fort itself could have some more detail
Posted 10 February 2009 - 12:42 PM
About the "torch" at the cannon: I think it's not a torch, but a stick or something to put the powder to the back of the cannon. Don't know the English word for it.
It's multifunctionomical.

I haven't wanted this set for two reasons - all the stickers and the single-piece palm tree trunk. However, they don't look so bad in the pictures as I thought. I'd still prefer at least the wall pieces be printed. And I really hope the multi-piece palm tree trunk shows up in future sets, not this single piece one. But that said, after seeing more pictures of this set, I might be more interested in it, especially if I could find it on sale sometime...
Posted 11 September 2009 - 02:45 PM
A very nice review too!
I got it for €40, which is 10 euros cheaper
But isn't there supposed to be another sticker on the jail wall? (the one with the counting lines and a birthday mark)

its the top (and bottom :pir_laugh2:if you dont inclued the "book") of my pirate buy list, the price is a sad touch along with the palm tree.
i hope they make a proper fort with walls, even if the walls are panels it wont be too bad.
(the officer to normal ratio is up-set, but a few cannon battles and heads from the collection even out the ranks i guess).

Diabetes Health Center
Avandia: Less Risky in Younger, Healthier Patients?
Aug. 24, 2010 -- A study of patients enrolled in a large HMO finds no evidence that the diabetes drug Avandia is riskier than Actos, a similar medication.
The findings are in striking contrast to four other large studies with similar designs. Data from those studies suggest that Avandia increases risk of heart attack in younger patients and risk of death in older patients.
The new study isn't entirely new. It's an "enhanced version" of data presented to an FDA advisory committee in 2007. Like the earlier version, it finds Avandia is no riskier than Actos, says study author Debra A. Wertz, PharmD, of HealthCore Inc.
"Looking at a composite endpoint of heart attack, acute heart failure, and death, we observed no significant differences between the two agents in our study population," Wertz tells WebMD.
Why did the results differ so markedly from other studies with similar designs?
"All of these studies have different methodologies and different observational data," Wertz says. "Our particular study did look at a commercially insured population that may be healthier and younger than others."
Indeed, a recent study by FDA safety researcher David Graham, MD, and colleagues found that Medicare patients with diabetes were at significantly greater risk of death if they took Avandia rather than Actos. But those patients were all over age 65, with an average age of 74.4.
In the Wertz study, patients' average age was 54. And they were all privately insured, suggesting that even the older patients in the study were more likely to be employed and thus relatively healthy.
Aviandia Study 1 Piece of the Puzzle
Steven Nissen, MD, the Cleveland Clinic cardiologist who was among the first to warn of Avandia's possible heart risks, says the Wertz findings cannot be considered in isolation.
"There is a consistent pattern of excess risk with [Avandia] apparent in multiple observational studies and meta-analyses performed by independent physician-scientists and the FDA," Nissen tells WebMD via email. "The totality of data continue to demonstrate that [Avandia] increases adverse cardiovascular outcomes in comparison to [Actos]."
Even so, Wertz says the new study is important and will be helpful to patients and their doctors in deciding which diabetes treatment is best for them.

The son of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz was among three Hawkeyes players arrested early Monday for public intoxication, the latest in a series of off-field problems involving football players at the school.
Center James Ferentz, fullback Tyler Christensen and tight end Zach Derby were cited by the university's department of public safety. According to The Cedar Rapids Gazette, both Ferentz and Derby pleaded not guilty to public intoxication Monday morning and will face trials May 8.
Christensen pleaded guilty to fifth-degree criminal mischief and public intoxication and paid fines totaling $489.
"It was very disappointing to learn of the behavior of our three players last night," Kirk Ferentz said in a statement. "Short term, all three will be suspended for the remainder of spring practice and they will be expected to fulfill significant community service obligations the next several weekends. Additional action will be determined at a later point and return to the team will be based on additional criteria."
Department of Public Safety associate director Bill Searls told the Iowa City Press-Citizen that Derby and Christensen attempted to pick a fight with an off-duty university police officer at around 2 a.m. Monday. The officer alerted on-duty officers for assistance.
While the officers were talking to Derby and Christensen, James Ferentz reportedly emerged "yelling and screaming" from a nearby parking lot. Police said Ferentz took a breath-test that showed a blood-alcohol content of .160.
This marks the second alcohol-related offense for Ferentz, who was cited for underage alcohol possession in October. Kirk Ferentz suspended James from team activities for the remainder of the season, and James was required to attend counseling sessions and do community service.
None of the three players appeared in any games last season.
Iowa endured a swell of player arrests in 2007 and the first half of 2008. The number declined after Kirk Ferentz hired former player Chigozie Ejiasi as director of player development in September.
But starting defensive end Adrian Clayborn was arrested last month and faces a misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury stemming from a Jan. 20 incident involving a taxi driver in Iowa City. Clayborn pleaded not guilty to the charge and is practicing with the team this spring.

AH good...there is a series......If you can forget friends because you haven't put it on a post-it, surely they are not very good friends?
It that real? You could lose an eye or something if it's anything but paper (on the bottom right), and if it is indeed paper then it'll fly away once there's a light breeze...
That's me!
OMG this idea is as stolen as the fallen Madonna with the big boobies. The original concept was developed in the Netherlands by VIS free format communication in Valkenswaard. Also for Post-It, the dutch office. I still think this is a killer idea but would like to see the credits go where they belong: to VIS, NL.
From: Van Draeckenstein
Hey guys, I don't want to spoil the party here, but this is too much credit for Profero IMAO. A couple of years ago, Post-It hired a dutch agency called VIS (free format communication)
to tell the Netherlands in a big way about PostIt. The blow-up of a PostIt note was conceived and the kick off was phenomenal. What Profero did here is nothing more or less than a
copy-paste move. Visit the VIS site (it's a giant scroller, so beware) and look somewhere in the upper right corner for their picture of the roll out. Check out www.vissig.nl
Oh and btw, they also won an award in 2007 for their idea...
Keep up the good work guys.

Tea Towel Tuesday: Take 15% off 1+ yards of Linen Cotton Canvas Ultra Through 11:59 PM EDT July 26th.
My designs are equal parts cute, rock and roll, and just a little geeky. Just like me! I love graphic design and combining color and pattern in creative ways.
