A three-game sweep over Fivay (25-14, 26-24, 25-10) on Saturday in the Class 5A regional finals has Bartram Trail volleyball in a place unfamiliar even for one of St. Johns County's best programs — with an opportunity to become state champions.
The final point of the match, an ace from Bartram's Sarah Ragland that split a pair of Falcons defenders, sent Ragland into an embrace with the rest of her team, victorious for the first time this far into the postseason. Among her teammates was libero Bailie Burkins, who finished with a game-high 15 digs.
"No words can describe what this feels like," Burkins said. "We knew from the beginning of the year that we had a chance to be good, we have a lot of really good players on this team. There wasn't any doubt we could do this."
In punching their ticket to Kissimmee to compete for the 5A volleyball championship, the Bears (22-5) have a chance to realize a dream that took shape at the very beginning of the season.
"In the beginning of the year we sat down and talked about what our plans were for this season," Bartram coach Audrey Holtz said. "All the players said they wanted to do something special this year, and to do that we had to begin with the end in mind."
Despite what a sweep and two lopsided sets may indicate, the Falcons gave the Bears everything they could handle.
Though Bartram enjoyed double-digit wins in two sets, the middle frame pushed Bartram to its limit. Nineteen times the score was tied, leading to nine lead changes and neither team led by more than two points at any point in the set.
"(Fivay) picked up its intensity that set," Holtz said. "But we did a great job in not reacting to what they were doing and keeping with our game plan and focusing on ourselves."
Lexi Henriott, who led the Bears with 16 kills along with nine digs, found success attacking the edges of Fivay's floor in that frame. Service errors plagued Bartram early on, but neither team was able to mount anything close to a rally throughout the frame. It wasn't until Henriott made a pair of digs late in the set that momentum made its way to Bartram's side. Fivay led for the majority of the second set and had a chance to put Bartram away when the Falcons took a 24-23 lead. But the Bears answered with three straight points of their own, capped off by a Fivay shot that went long, handing Bartram the set and a stranglehold of the match.
"Every time the ball made its way to Lexi (Henriott), she made a positive play with it," Holtz said. "Burkins had some key plays for us through the match, but they all had to come through for us today one way or the other."
Statistically, no single player for the Bears dominated. Madison French tallied 11 service points and 17 assists for Bartram Trail. Mackenzie Breuklander led the Bears with four aces, Kelsey Watts had 13 assists and Ragland totaled nine kills with two blocks for the match.
"At that point I knew we needed to turn it on," Burkins said. "We're a mentally tough team, we've been tested all season so stuff like that doesn't phase us."
The Bears, having overcome close matches against rival Creekside in the district championship and regional semifinal, have grown accustomed to finding themselves scratching for every point, many decided after double-digit volley totals punctuated with a Ragland spike. All the better to prepare Bartram Trail for the challenges that remain.
"At this point every team we face is going to be a complete team," Holtz said. "We're so excited to have a chance to represent our school for the very first time in the final four."
The Bears face Jensen Beach on Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Silver Spurs Arena.

Tuesday, October 4, 2011 / Costa Mesa, California -- It's been a wild, often weird, summer in the USA for current World Number 18, Matty "Wilko" Wilkinson. The Sydney darling set up camp in the Empire of Indulgence--Newport Beach, California--to capitalize on his unique brand of World Tour training. Yes. There have been women. There have been parties. There have been waves. There has been no stretching.
But before Wilko took off for Tahiti (where he dazzled the surfing world with his gut wrenching performance in the biggest and best Teahupo'o the Tour has ever seen), he embarked on a 24-hour recon mission up the coast to the Golden City, San Fran--land of Jack London, Harvey Milk, Barry Bonds, and, lest we forget, the 2011 Rip Curl Pro Search.
It started with a leisure paddle out at what is to be the Search's main contest site in faint, grey figments of those iconic Ocean Beach A-frames every surfer has come to both love and dread. It was small--still summer, after all. You see, the waves of San Fran, like the people of San Fran, relish their obscurity, preferring only the occasional emission of brilliance.
But the journey really began--as any good man of the world, like Wilko, will tell you--when the lights went down on the city.
Mission District interviews with inebriated yet charming street dwellers and heavy-footed business folk led to a table full of juicy street tacos and crispy Negro Modellos that led to third-base-line tickets at AT&T Park that led to drinks and dancing and women and fun… good summer-in-the-city fun. And still, there was no stretching.
With the Golden Gate fading around the bend behind him, Wilko drifted back south towards Newport, where his fresh Teahupo'o quiver waited and the second half of the 2011 ASP World Tour season loomed. He teed up Journey on the iPod and listened intently to Steve Perry squeal:
When the lights go down in the city
and the sun shines on the bay
do I want to be there, in my city oh oh
Because he'd be back. November 1st. With the rest of the blissfully talented Top 34. Because the best Search is the one you least expected… oh oh oh.
In the meantime, follow Wilko's new blog, out2brunch.com.
Watch the Rip Curl Pro Search 'Somewhere in San Francisco' live on live.ripcurl.com, from November 1.

stumbled on to rain gear at walmart, less than $20.00 teflon coated...matthew
I like frog togs over my leathers, they work great, and I have had no wicking problems. Could it be that you have worn off the waterproofing by contact?

I've had a BMW rainsuit and have gone ridden through two long rides (over 300miles) in the rain and have not gotten wet (Sidi Street Boots). Plus: keeps you dry, not hard to get on and off, doesn't tear easily, the yellow is great visability. Minus: gets hot if it's hot and it's hot when it's hot.

I bought the Marsee Adventure suit earlier this year. Don't go this route if you are interested in staying dry. I should have known better than get a rain product designed by a California company. No experience with rain.
Main problem is the pants have waterproof zippers on the insides of the legs. No overflap and not very waterproof zippers. Crotch wet within 20 minutes of light rain on unfaired bike (R80G/S) and even a faired one (R100RS) Two side slash pockets with waterproof zippers must be on the outside of the so-called waterproofing. Everything in pockets soaked.
Same with wallet inside pocket on jacket, passport soaked.
Suit does look good, but you are required to carry a rain suit as well which kind of defeats the purpose!
I got a great deal on my 2 piece BMW rain suit. Yes it was still expensive but after going the cheaper way I still got soaked. It pays to be comfy and this suit keeps me dry and warm.
Yep I live in Floriduh but it can get chilly and wet down here too!
Don't , when you're used to 90's and it get's into the 50's or less it is cold specially when you're wet.

Hello; I recently had to ride through 3 days of rain here on the wet coast. I have a Joe Rocket ballistic .4 coat which I wear with a set of rain gear lowers that I bought at Canadian tire. I usually wear hiking boots, which will let water through if I'm out long enough.
I find if I can keep my feet on the passenger pegs, I can last all day with out a soaker.
I have a pair of Bellstaff overmitts which I wear ove my mechanics gloves, toasty warm and dry.
My Nolan 100 was directing the rain down my neck, so I wore a hoody to drink it up until I went out and bought a new helmet, a HJC flip face, which is quite a bit quieter as well even though the visor is stiff and ventilation isn't as good, it does keep me dry.
I found a gen-u-wine BMW one piece rainsuit at Mid Ohio this year for a mere $20.I look like a human traffic cone,but it works!!(They will never say"I didnt see him Officer!)
Hello; I found a set of bellstaff overboots in my local dealers 50% off box. They have velcro down the side and an elastic stirrup, and a toe piece that goes under your toes and keeps the front taut. They're made of that waxed cotton that keeps out the rain and folds down to a wallet sized package. Now that will take care of teh only part of me that was getting wet.

True Blood Solves Its Biggest Problem Once And For All
In this week's premiere beginning True Blood's final season, a monstrous threat has descended on Bon Temps during its greatest moment of unity—and by sunrise after this first night of zombie vampire attacks, almost everything healed and soothed by last year's time jump has been undone, pretty brutally. Spoilers ahead.
One of those moments of reversed mercy from the finale—a heartbreaking reconciliation between vampire Tara Thornton and her crazy, shitty mother Lettie Mae—was positioned to be so awe-inspiringly graceful and sweet that most viewers dismissed it out of hand: There had to be an agenda, Lettie Mae was luring Tara into a murder of some kind, she was poisoning her vampire daughter with infected blood, she was suicide bombing in some elaborate way or another.
The largeness of the grace in that moment, it seemed to me and still does, was so unfamiliar that for a lot of people it just didn't fit into their heads. Too big, too kind, too twisty for a world built out of constant betrayal, idiotic and hypocritical Christian strawmen, country bumpkin ugliness and sexual brutality. And the reactions and questions and doubts continued after this week's premiere, when Tara seemed (off-screen) to die for the second and last time.
But the Lettie Mae shocker last year, in which she bared her body to feed her vampire daughter in recompense for a lifetime of neglect, wasn't the first time the show's ambitions outpaced its remit. Sometimes the show's more smarty-pants moves are either unearned, unintentionally offensive, or both—and yes, often they are ignored outright by the show's diverse audience. But by providing closure for the character in last season's finale, the show may have earned the right to make Tara its first big death of the year. (Or maybe they did this just by making her a huge ass-ache in the first place.)
Because this all implies that Tara ever had a plan, or a point, beyond continual reinvention as a plot device. In a show famous for bending character in service of plot to a heretofore unknown degree, Tara always made for the biggest casualty of each season's themes. Whether it's the season she spent as the pathetic foster daughter of an orgy-causing goddess or her audience-decimating stretch as a hilarious sex slave to a hilarious white vampire psycho, by the end of season four Tara's first death—leaping in front of protagonist Sookie Stackhouse to take a bullet, of course—produced mostly shrugs in the show's audience: There was nothing left to do to her.
When Tara came back as a vampire in the next premiere, she seemed to have a new lease on life. It was a powerful reboot... That quickly devolved into repetitive arch bitchiness (and the snide racism of the show's particular South Park Republican sort), as she became the sidekick of a sidekick and the side-piece to one of the show's most enduring relationships. Already overused—the campy, Dowager Countess of True Blood—Pam didn't need any help being annoying, but at least it gave them both something to do. For a while.
Tracing the arc of Tara's abandonment issues is easy—abuse from her drunk, creepy mother leads her to the aforementioned social worker/cult leader Maryann, which after several seasons gets us to a sexual relationship with her own "vampire mother," and finally a nonsexual but very physical, intimate reconnection with her birth mother—and it's a fine time to let her go. She went from being one of my favorite characters to being a real drag by season three, to something much like a viable presence in the last year or so, though, so I may be biased. (Or, just maybe, overthinking it.)
Either way, I can't help wondering whether that sigh of relief heard across the country Sunday night—for her, and for us all—wasn't the same sound you'd have heard in the writer's room the day they decided she was done for. When you think about Tara Thornton, what do you think about her? She's been so many people. Any favorite memories or quotes or gifs to share? Do you think this off-screen death is typical of the show's privileges, or is there something deeper going on? And do you think it bodes well for the season?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT squash team welcomed Boston University and Boston College to the Zesiger Center Squash courts on Saturday and the Engineers were able to come away with a pair of victories, defeating BU, 8-1, and BC, 5-4, to improve to 7-10 on the season. Four different Tech players picked up wins in both matches led by freshman Steve Cho (Lexington, Mass.), who improved to 8-9 on the season.
Cho earned a hard-fought, five-set victory over BU's Jacob Roscoe in the No. 2 position, 11-9, 9-11, 11-9, 7-11, 11-8. The freshman also defeated his opponent from Boston College, 15-13, 7-11, 11-3, 11-3.
Freshman Peter Riley was another double-winner, winning matches in the third and fourth spots. At No. 3, Riley defeated BU's LuQuan Tan, 12-10, 5-11, 11-6, 11-4. He then came back for a 12-10, 9-11, 11-9, 11-4 win over Max Ortwein of Boston College later in the day.

Apolipoprotein B100 (apo B100) is a protein that plays a role in moving cholesterol around your body. It is a form of low density lipoprotein (LDL).
This article discusses the test used to measure the level of apoB100 in the blood.
ApoB100; Apoprotein B100
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
Your health care provider may tell you not to eat or drink anything for 4 - 6 hours before the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Most often, this test is done to help determine the cause or specific type of hyperlipidemia.
The normal range is 50 - 150 mg/dL.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
An abnormal result may mean you have high lipid levels (hyperlipidemia).
Other disorders that may be associated with high apoB100 levels include angina pectoris and heart attack.
See also: Familial combined hyperlipidemia
Apolipoprotein measurements may provide more detail about your risk for heart disease, but the added value of this test beyond a lipid panel is unknown.

O'Rourke himself, with his people, and all these his allies, proceeded into Tirerrill, and burned the country, and slew Cathal, the son of Mac Donough, and many others besides, on that occasion.
Niall O'Donnell and his army, and O'Rourke with his creaghts, went to the harbour of Assaroe; and the Clann-Donough, and Cathal, the son of Rory O'Conor, went in their absence to the fortress of O'Rourke, and burned the town, and pulled down and demolished the castle, and destroyed all that side of the country. The army of the Kinel-Connell were at this time encamped at Ardfearna; and the people of Carbury were under the castle of Bundrowes; and many men and horses were daily killed and wounded in the conflicts between them. Murtough Boy, the son of Cosnamach O'Dowda, O'Maonaigh, and the son of Donough Caemhanach, were slain by the Kinel-Connell on this occasion; and Hugh, son of Murray Roe Mac Loughlin, was drowned in the ford of Ballyshannon. They afterwards concluded a peace.
A nocturnal attack was made by Cathal O'Rourke and his sons upon Mac Clancy, on Inis Caoin, an island in Lough Melvin; and the guards of the lake,
p.851namely, the Mag-Gollaighs, delivered up the boats of the lake to Cathal and his sons. And Mac Clancy Oge was taken prisoner by them; and they took possession of Lough Melvin and its castle. Five of the sons of Mac Clancy, and a great number of the men of Dartry, were slain by them, after which the rest of the sons of Mac Clancy went to Carbury.
More, the daughter of Brian O'Brien, and wife of Walter Burke, and who had been married to Teige O'Carroll, the most distinguished woman in her time, in Leath Mogha, for knowledge, hospitality, good sense, and piety, died. She was usually called Mor-Mumhan-na-Muimhneach.
Cormac na Coille Mac Carthy of Carbery, the best son of a lord of the Momonians in his time, was slain hy the sons of Owen Mac Carthy.
Gillareagh O'Clery, a learned historian, died, after spending a good life.
Owen O'Neill was taken prisoner by Mac-I-Neill Boy, while on his way to Dundalk to meet the Earl.
Mac Gillapatrick and the son of Libned a Frene, one of the English, set out with twelve score soldiers on a predatory excursion into Leix, and did not halt until they reached the monastery of Leix; but O'Conor Faly happened to come in contact with them in that country, and attacked Mac Gillapatrick and the English, and defeated and slaughtered them, and his people obtained great spoils of the armour, arms, and accoutrements of the English. O'Conor (Murrough) then returned home; but he was attacked by a dangerous disease, whereupon he retired among the friars in the monastery of Killeigh, and took the habit of a friar; but before his death he appointed his own kinsman, Dermot O'Conor, in his place. O'Conor was only a month among the friars, when he died, after a well-spent life.
Art, the son of Teige O'Rourke, was made O'Rourke, in opposition to Teige, the son of Tiernan.
THE AGE OF CHRIST, 1422. The Age of Christ, one thousand four hundred twenty-two.
Turlough, the son of Niall Garv O'Donnell, Lord of Tirconnell, took the habit of a monk in the monastery of Assaroe, after gaining victory over this present world; and his own son, Niall Garv, was inaugurated in his place.
Rory O'Conor (i.e. the son of Conor), Lord of Corcomroe, was slain in his own town of Caislen-na-Dumhcha, by his own kinsmen, the sons of Felim O'Conor.
Owen O'Neill was ransomed from Mac-I-Neill Boy by his wife and sons.
Dermot, son of Teige Mac Dermot, was slain.
Donnell Finn O'Flaherty was slain by the sons of Donnell O'Flaherty.
An army was mustered by O'Donnell (Niall), O'Neill, Owen O'Neill, and Mac-I-Neill Boy, with the other chiefs of the northern province. They burned and plundered the entire territory of Carbury as far as Sligo. Owen O'Conor, Turlough Carragh, and O'Rourke, mustered their forces to oppose them at Sligo, and there gave battle to the eastern army, of which seven men fell by the Connacians. From thence they the Ultonians went into Tirerrill, and devastated the entire territory.
Cosnamhach Oge Mac Egan, Ollav of the Kinel-Fiachach, and of O'Conor
p.855Faly in judicature, was slain, in a mistake, by the sons of O'Melaghlin, with one cast of a javelin.
Niall Garv, the son of Turlough, son of Niall Garv O'Donnell, went into Fermanagh, subjugated Maguire, Mac Mahon, and Magennis, and brought them with him to O'Kane, who also submitted to him. From thence they proceeded, attended by the sons of O'Kane, to Mac-I-Neill Boy, and completely plundered the Glynns of Antrim and Mac Eoin Bisset, and burned the country; and they proceeded into Clannaboy and Moylinny, the spoils of which territories they carried off to Carrickfergus, and afterwards returned home in safety.
Owen O'Neill was ransomed by his wife and family from Mac-I-Neill Boy, by giving him cows, horses, and other gifts.
Henry VI. was made King of England on the 31st of August.
An army was led by Niall O'Donnel, O'Neill, and the chiefs of the entire province, against O'Neill Boy, and penetrated through his woods and fastnesses, until they obtained the mastery over him, so that he gave hostages to O'Neill; and he was despoiled of all the equivalents which he had obtained for the ransom of Owen O'Neill, and of other valuable things.
The same Niall O'Donnell assembled together all the chiefs of the province, namely, O'Neill, and the sons of Henry O'Neill; Owen O'Neill, with his sons and kinsmen; the sons of Cu-Uladh Roe O'Neill; the people of Fermanagh and Oriel, under the conduct of Mac Mahon and Maguire; Magennis, O'Hanlon, and Mac-I-Neill Boy, with his forces; the O'Kanes and the Kinel-Connell themselves, with their gallowglasses, and also the English of the province; and they all set out upon an expedition into Connaught. They were drawn upon this expedition by the sons of Cormac Mac Donough, and the sons of Mulrony Mac Donough, who had been banished from their country by their paternal uncle, Mac Donough, by Conor Mac Donough and his sons, and by Cormac Oge
p.857Mac Donough. For Mac Donough had erected a castle in the territory of the sons of Mulrony Mac Donough, that is, at Caiseal Locha-Deargain, and had entirely destroyed their crops and fields, and afterwards banished them to Mac William Burke; wherefore, they drew this great army to devastate Lower i.e. North Connaught.
This great army arrived in Carbury, wounded and killed many persons at the castle of Bundrowes, burned and spoiled the country, and then proceeded to Sligo. Here Owen, the son of Donnell, and Turlough Carragh, came up with them, and routed the rere of the army, killed seven of them, and wounded men and horses. The Ultonian army remained in Cuil-irra for that night, and, on the next day, marched into Tireragh to spoil that country. O'Dowda met them and made peace with Niall O'Donnell, and delivered him hostages in behalf of his territory. From thence they went into Tirerrill and Corran, and burned and destroyed the country. The sons of Cormac and the sons of Mulrony (Mac Donough) were at the same time burning the upper part of the territory, and were overtaken by Tomaltagh Oge and the sons of Mac Donough, near Cluain gad, where they gave battle to each other, in which Maurice, the son of Cormac, Dermot, the son of Mulrony Mac Donough, and the son of Donnell, son of Hugh na Gaobhcha, were slain. The Ultonian army remained that night at Caisiol-Locha-deargain ravaging the country. From thence they went to O'Rourke, and took him prisoner; and then they returned home, crossing the Erne.

I for one am tired of having racism identified with the right. I'm tired of hearing people tell me I should change parties because my party is right wing and so was Hitler, as if there were any similarities between the two.
I don't think "left" and "right" is adequate to describe the spectrum anymore.
Hmmm. It says I'm a libertarian. No surprise.
Now that I've glanced through the quiz FAQ, I should clarify that remark. One of the FAQ's was, "Isn't this a trick to tell everyone they're libertarian?" I wasn't suggesting anything of the sort; I'm not surprised to hear myself identified as libertarian because I've long been sympathetic to that philosophy.

"Well, it was obviously an unfortunate incident. Um, I think—it kinda made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment and, rather than delete it and do the decent thing, sells it.

And I—yeah, so, um, so let's get back to 'Les Mis.'"

Indians sweep Rangers behind stellar Ubaldo
CLEVELAND -- If their play this weekend was any indication, the Indians are going to remain competitive in the American League Central for the rest of the season.
After starting the second half with a lousy road trip, the Tribe returned to Progressive Field and swept a solid Rangers ballclub. Starter Ubaldo Jimenez continued the rotation's recent roll with eight shutout innings on Sunday, as Cleveland won, 6-0, for its fourth victory in a row.Full Game Coverage
CLEVELAND -- If their play this weekend was any indication, the Indians are going to remain competitive in the American League Central for the rest of the season.
After starting the second half with a lousy road trip, the Tribe returned to Progressive Field and swept a solid Rangers ballclub. Starter Ubaldo Jimenez continued the rotation's recent roll with eight shutout innings on Sunday, as Cleveland won, 6-0, for its fourth victory in a row.Full Game Coverage
A day after All-Star Justin Masterson threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings in a 1-0 win, Jimenez (8-5, 4.17 ERA) went out and led Cleveland to its 14th shutout of the season, the highest total in baseball.
"It just shows you the quality of pitching we have," said Mike Aviles, who hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning. "When you have an offense as potent as theirs, you don't usually see a team like that get shut out twice. I think that shows how nasty Masty was and Ubaldo today."
Across eight frames, Jimenez surrendered just two hits, while walking three and punching out six. The tall right-hander threw 110 pitches, 64 for strikes. He played a pivotal role in handing Texas consecutive shutouts for the first time since September 2009.
The Indians (56-48) have won seven of Jimenez's last nine outings. He has kept the opponent to two earned runs or fewer in 13 of his 21 outings this season, while allowing no more than three earned runs in 11 of his last 12 starts.
"I think it was the fastball, and the other thing was staying aggressive," Jimenez said. "I've been aggressive in prior games, but I wasn't able to stay aggressive. I would get hitters in 0-2 counts, and I've been walking them. But today, we were able just to go after hitters and stay ahead."
With Jimenez's performance, the rotation is 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA over the past 16 games.
"It's a good competition," Jimenez said. "You don't want to be the guy that doesn't compete. You don't want to be the guy that is not going to give his team a chance to win. ... I think it's good for the team."
Reliever Vinnie Pestano took over for Jimenez in the ninth inning. He issued a leadoff walk but induced a double play and struck out Adrian Beltre to seal the win.
In addition to Aviles' homer -- his sixth of the season -- the Indians scored once in the fifth and three times in the sixth, which began with singles by Michael Brantley and Carlos Santana. Rangers reliever Robbie Ross then retired the next two hitters, but Yan Gomes laced an RBI single up the middle and Michael Bourn drove in two runs with a double to left-center.
An inning earlier, Bourn drew a two-out walk, moved to third on a single by Nick Swisher and came home via Jason Kipnis' base hit to right field.
Swisher and Gomes each finished with three hits. Bourn went 1-for-4 with two RBIs, a run scored and a walk. Bourn has hit safely in six straight games.
"He seems to be right in the middle of a lot of what we're doing when it's good, and that's a good sign for us," Indians manager Terry Francona said of the club's center fielder and leadoff hitter. "He's such a catalyst for us, so if he gets on a couple times a game, good things are going to happen for us."
Texas starter Alexi Ogando held the Tribe in check for the majority of his outing, but it didn't last very long. He exited after 92 pitches and 4 2/3 innings, during which time he gave up six hits and one run. Ogando (4-3, 3.05 ERA) walked two and struck out one.
"We made Ogando work," Francona said. "We didn't have a whole lot to show for it for five innings, but we made him work for everything, and we had his pitch count up. They had to take him out. Sometimes, that's the way you beat good pitchers, because his stuff is filthy."
Elvis Andrus' first-inning double gave him a base hit in each of his 37 career games against Cleveland. That's the third-longest hitting streak for a player against one team since 1900. Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury hit in 38 straight against Baltimore (2009-12) and the Angels' Vladimir Guerrero had 44 consecutive games with a hit against Texas (2004-06).
With the win, the Indians swept a series of at least three games against the Rangers (56-49) in Cleveland for the first time since August 1980. At Progressive Field, the Tribe has won seven straight and recorded a 31-13 record since April 30, the second-best home mark in baseball during that span.
After committing nine errors during the recent 2-4 road trip, Cleveland exhibited exceptional defense on Saturday and Sunday, with Swisher, Asdrubal Cabrera and Ryan Raburn all contributing stellar plays in the series finale.
"I think the biggest thing wasn't so much the sweep necessarily, it was more playing the clean games," Aviles said. "It's definitely good to get back home and play some good, quality baseball and just get back on the winning side."

Discussion in 'Star Trek: Voyager' started by Caprica_Six, Apr 16, 2005.
Welcom, Cadet. At ease!
Welcome, Flat Jeff.
Hello, I am new too
Welcome to you both. Enjoy the board.
Hello to new and new too.
I realy like your picture of Janeway. She has a very funny face
I just want to introduce myself as this would be my most visited forum.
I grew up with Voyager, watching it weekly during the late 90's until (for some reason) I lost interest with my last memory being the previews for Relativity. I became a huge fan of Star Trek overall after getting reaqquainted with Voyager and DS9 on Spike when nothing else was on in late April 2008.
Nice to have you here, Shintaek.
Welcome Shintaek.
My first post here. Great to find a community interested in the same things as I am. God knows my wife is sick of playing that role.
Anywho, I am a 23 year old male from Wisconsin. I am married. I like watching any sport really as well as anything star trek related. Voyager happens to be my favorite; but I've seen every episode of every series anyways.
My favorite part of Star Trek is the novel side stories. The continuation of Voyager for instance is fantastic and I cannot wait for Voyager: Full Circle to be released in 09.
Welcome to the board.
Star Trek and sports 'eh? Married too? That'll show those jerks who claim all nerds are single, hate sports, and live in their parent's basement.
Yah. I get that quite a bit now but it was different before. Where I grew up, we had a schedule to it all. Both my neighbors parents liked Star Trek as well as my Father. We also all belonged to the same church. So, every Wednesday night, we went to Church, and then rotated who's house hosted Voyager for the night. The neighbors had kids in my grade in school so it all worked out well.
In the end, all 3 of us were scholar athletes, went onto college, and 2 of the 3 of us are married. And yes, we all enjoy Star Trek and we still get together as much as we can to enjoy the 'good ol days'.
Go Packers!
... and welcome!
Sounds pretty cool.
Enjoy the board.
Hello, I'm new, and I am a forum virgin.
This Voyager space was the incentive to make me try. Indeed Voyager is my favourite Star Trek and one of my favourite sci fi shows in general. (Off the top of my head, I would name Farscape as co-favourite although I'm not sure I see myself going online about it. It doesn't compare to the Star Trek network, its scale.)
There aren't many of us in France so it's nice to be here. Though inexperienced, I have opinions and the guts to post them. It's also good to be able to discuss the series after the fact, being in a country where it was aired only the past few years.
I can't wait to get into the current debates...
Welcome to the board.
Hello all!
I'm not technically a "new" Voyager fan. In fact, next to reruns of TOS and TNG I caught variously on FOX and UPN, Voyager was the only show I watched religiously, catching pretty much every episode on its original airdate...
It's the only show whose finale I meticulously taped so that there wouldn't be commercials upon reviewing the VHS...oh, those were the days...the silly silly analog days...
In any case, it's good to be here!
P.S. Don't think my handle means I like X-Files more than VGR necessarily. Just Fox himself.
Bonjour, Ria!
I'm actually teaching myself Francois just now, and I'm curious...do you watch VGR in English or French? And if the latter, is it terribly different in the latter language?
How pleasant was my surprise when, meaning to greet you as the latest newcomer before you, I found you were addressing me as well!
To answer your question, today we French are fortunate enough to have original English, subtitled versions of Voyager and Enterprise on the soon-to-be 3-year-old French SciFi channel. Same with Farscape and BSG. Oh, and The Original Series too but that got less reruns.
Being a translator/subtitler myself, I even had a chance to edit the subtitles of a few Voyager episodes. I got to correct a few mistakes.
Previously, I saw some TNG and DS9 in French dubbing on another cable channel, and I'm afraid that sounds very dull. Not to mention the usual careless translations of technobabble in all science fiction. I'll always remember when I first saw Star Wars (ep IV) in English and discovered that what Luke called "laso-conveyor pumps" or something in French actually were mere "power converters".
When I'm watching science fiction on cable with optional French subtitles, I often get rid of them because they just anger me. I think that the bad dubbings are one of the main reasons science fiction has been a minor genre in France, and Star Trek, generally a laughing matter. But in the movies, we're getting to be good at horror and we're beginning to produce or direct good enough, big-budget science fiction this past decade or so.(5th element, Alien 4...) Not that we ever produced much small-budget science fiction beyond François Truffaut's Farenheit 451.
So welcome FoxMulder710, I don't know how much forum experience you have but even though I haven't read much of you yet, by number of posts I see you're even less shy than I was in the beginning. It felt nice to get 2 promotions in 10 days. (That aspect of the forum is fun. I see you're getting yours in less time than you can get used to any rank, writer extraordinaire. 47 posts in less than 2 days? I's gotta be a record.)
You probably won't miss the "Caption This" stuff like I did for 8 days before I thought of checking it out, because I couldn't understand what it meant. It also took me a while to realize there were more than one page of threads... or that I could check out people's profiles by clicking on their name. I didn't put much biography in mine. I guess I'll edit it one of these days.
P.S. Do you know Tim Buckley's Song To The Siren that goes,
"Were you hare when I was fox" ?
ria, I'm glad you enjoyed my greeting.
Also, I must compliment your English. If I were French writing in English, I'm sure I'd have a much tougher time. Je comprends petit mot en Francois...(I'm sure my grammar just now probably sucked, non?)...
Don't worry about questions of shyness or sociability. I'm generally shy, myself, preferring books and TV and ideas and thought...but people can be really interesting, too, on occasion; hence my being here.
I've never heard the song, alas; I may look it up.
"Writer extraordinare"? Why thank you. Probably comes from me journaling intensely for the past several years...I'm just used to reading/writing a lot per day.
Happy premienne jour de la semaine!
Separate names with a comma.

Ok, so by now you've been overwhelmed with 50 different stories about 50 different movie premiers, and trust me I feel your pain. However, I'm contractually obligated bring you one more, so sit back and relax 'cause here comes movie premiere story #51.
I promise, I'll keep it brief.
We were invited to Chicago to help kick off the winter with a special showing of MDP's People and Follow Me Around. For those of you that don't know, Chris Bachman, Barto and all the fine folks at Chicago's landmark Shred Shop have been doing these pre season parties for years and they always pack a big punch. For example, the last one I went too ended in an impromptu foam party and had two kids almost get their thumbs severed while fighting over a snowboard. Sounds pretty sweet, huh? So I made the call to skip "the first day of school, a.k.a. Mammoth's opening, and headed to the airport.
Shaun McKay and I met up with Ryan Thompson at O'Hare International Airport, and after destroying Oprah's favorite deep-dish pie we were on our way.
We met up at the theater with 686's Midwest Rep, Scott Ladwig, and were quickly treated to the ever so popular, all you can drink vodka-Red Bull bar. The place was fairly crowded, despite the torrential downpour and the ten inches of new snow just north of us.
The movies played, autographs were signed, snapshots were taken, squats were squatted, drinks were drank, Ditka jokes were told, donkey punches were punched, shaka's were thrown, shoes were talked into, cameras were lost, product was tossed ... you know, all the usual things you've come to expect at a snowboard movie premiere.
Fast-forward to the after party, which much to RT's disappointment had no severed thumbs and no foam. Now usually this is the point in the evening when all the dirt goes down right? This is where the story could have actually got interesting. Maybe there'd be an all-nighter and a missed flight? Maybe some hoes would stalk us and fall out of a tree? Maybe there'd be a fight and someone would get arrested? Maybe something crazy would happen to make this story interesting? Well sorry to disappoint you kids, but we kept it mellow and put the cap back on our "party season and got the F out of Chi Town while we could still see straight.
Thanks Chris, Barto and everyone at The Shred Shop. See you next fall.

The Leafs are 1-1-0 after a 2-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in the home opener despite a 35-20 shots advantage. The shot clock doesn't tell the whole story, but this one was first and foremost about Ryan Miller.
1 – Didn't take long to tango for the members of tonight's fight card, John Scott and Colton Orr. How do you topple a 6'8 giant if you're The Sheriff? A gut punch. Love or hate the role of the pure enforcer in the modern game, you had to feel good about Colton Orr and his moment tonight. After getting written off following a career-risking injury that turned into a demotion, he put in the work to get his speed and conditioning to a level where he could grab a place in Carlyle's lineup. Then he earned the first big cheer of the season out of the ACC crowd with the win over Scott.
2 – A lucky deflection for the Sabres off the midsection of Cody Hodgson for their 1-0 goal. Just one of those.
3 – The Leafs sputtered on the first powerplay, struggling to gain the zone at first, but were much better with their zone entries for the rest and actually moved the puck pretty well once set up. I understand some of the criticism in the comments section during the game concerning the static positioning of the Leafs' PP system, with Kessel idle on the left sideboard as opposed to rotating around the zone and getting different looks, but there were a lot of great chances with the man advantage tonight. The Sabres' PK was all Miller, with great saves in tight on point blank chances from JvR in the first, Liles in the second, and Lupul in the third. He was also helped by some luck when Dion rang the pipe.
4 – I guess by now you have to expect someone from the Sabres to spaz when Ryan Miller gets touched (or grazed), even when out he's out in the white paint like tonight. Not surprisingly it was Kaleta, who really should've paid for that mugging on Kessel. It's hard to hold a guy accountable who's weasel-y enough not to answer for his actions, but it's worth taking a roughing penalty to me.
5 – Holzer could've made a better first impression in his NHL debut, I thought. Nerves were evident early and persisted late in the first as Holzer iced the puck with nobody nearby. If you were wondering where Gunnarsson was on the play, you should've been, but Holzer could've played that 3 on 2 on the Sabres' second goal much better. Grabovski hauled back and picked up his man, and Holzer didn't play the developing two on one very well, making the the decision to dive hopelessly at the puck carrier. The open man, Jason Pominville, took the pass and fired it through Scrivens' legs. Carlyle did stick with Holzer, though, as he clocked 15 minutes while the other debuting Leaf, Mark Fraser, saw just eight tonight.
6 – Kulemin's giveaway cost the Leafs on that play as well; a giveaway high in the zone that he should've gotten in deep led to an odd man break the other way. After failing to pick his man up in the slot for the lone goal against on Saturday… not the best of starts for Kuli.
7 – Nazem Kadri gets rewarded for being the best Leaf on the ice tonight as Carlyle put him out as the sixth man with the goalie pulled and he delivered with his second goal in the first two games. Kadri worked some magic with the puck tonight, stringing some beautiful passes, and was a dog after a bone without the disc. The third line was again the bright spot among the forwards (JvR could stand to hit the net more) and Carlyle rewarded them with more ice time later on in the game. I don't think Kadri did one bad thing on the ice tonight and he did a heck of a lot right. He cracked 15 minutes of ice time and deserved even more.
7b – Phaneuf gets an honourable mention for best Leaf of the game. The Leafs allowed far too many odd man opportunities against tonight and Dion was the saviour on at least two of them. McClement quietly had a nice game as well, and nobody should have any problems with Ben Scrivens' performance, who gave the team a chance and wasn't at fault on either goal against.
8 – 28 and 27 minutes for Phaneuf and Kostka respectively in this one. Both responded admirably but you would like to see a little more timesharing.
9 – We'll hope to see the top six get on the board on Wednesday. Other than Bozak's PP marker against the Canadiens, the Grabovski and Kessel lines haven't managed to break through as of yet. If the Leafs didn't face the best of Miller tonight that might have been a different story.
10 – You have like the fight to the end, literally to the last second, regardless of the end result. There are so many moments you can look back on in this one and say, "how was that not in?" Just in the last minute alone, Kessel flicked the puck over the top of a mostly empty net and Kadri whiffed on a loose puck with a yawning cage in front of him (it may have not beaten the buzzer anyway). There's lots to work on from this one from both offensive and defensive standpoints – Carlyle will hate the number of odd man chances against – but the effort level was unquestionable. The Leafs deserved better.

The ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday on Centennial Plaza, which is located just west of Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field. The public is invited to attend.
Centennial Plaza is the location of a new set of benches and pavers that were created as a permanent monument to the generosity and loyalty of the Century Forward Circle donors.
The Century Forward Circle was established following the centennial celebration at ATU in 2009. Alumni and friends of the university who gave or pledged $10,000 during the campaign were included in the Century Forward Circle.
"The funds generated during the Century Forward Circle campaign will provide earnings to help meet priority needs of the university and continue our campus beautification program," said Jayne Jones, vice president for development. "The Century Forward Circle marks the first time in the history of our university that we have asked for this level of commitment for an endowment of this type. The enhancements to Centennial Plaza that will be celebrated on April 20 provide a fitting tribute to a group of donors that is dedicated to the further growth and development of Arkansas Tech University."
Following the Century Forward Circle ceremony, those in attendance will be welcome to attend any number of events scheduled for Saturday afternoon and evening at ATU, including the intrasquad spring football game, home baseball and softball games, an 8 p.m. performance of "Taming of the Shrew" at the Doc Bryan Student Services Building Lecture Hall and the opening reception for the senior graphic design exhibit at Norman Hall Art Gallery from 6:30-8 p.m.
