Could a Ramos Injury be Delaying the Bartlett Deal?
Unknown Orioles photographer
So has Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Jason Bartlett been unfortunately transported into some other dimension ? Is there such a locale as a Major League Baseball trade purgatory? We all have probably read the multiple Tweets, snippets and status of stagnant scent of limbo in regards to this recent trade between the Rays and San Diego Padres. But what is the dark secret keeping each party from either walking away or completing this trade? Curious minds want to know!
Reports have surfaced that Jason Bartlett went through his physical with flying colors and is more than ready to join the roster of the San Diego franchise who initially drafted him during the 13th Round of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft. But in this 13th hour, there has been cause for the Rays to put the brakes on this trade and leave both teams suspending the trade's completion for the moment
With his trade in a state of limbo, Bartlett and his family must be in a state of utter amazement that they can not proceed on any present plans to possibly place their Fort Myers home on the market, or even proceed to journey back to Sothern California to look for another home in the San Diego area.
Bartlett's prospective professional baseball life has now also put his off the field life into a proverbial holding pattern following a recent problem with one of the duo of prospects heading to Tampa Bay in exchange for the Rays 2010 starting shortstop. Bartlett must be welling up with the impending pressure and stress of this trade possibly falling part at the seams with a problem with either pitcher Adam Russell or Cesar Ramos.
I decided to dig a little deeper into the backgrounds of the two Padres set to becomes members of the Rays when this deal (hopefully) entered it final moments. I hoped to easily find a hidden physical aliment or a current injury that might not have been previously reported by the players and instantly sent up a bevy of red flags up to the Rays medical staff. What I found actually took a bit of time, but might just be the one aspect that is keeping this entire trade from finally being completed, or scraped.
You have to give both the Rays Front Office and their medical staff kudos for possibly finding a hidden situation or future health situation problem. Neither player probably has exhibited or previously established any pattern of injury concerns during the 2010 MLB or minor league seasons.
But recently Ramos was placed on the 7-day disabled list by his Winter League squad, the Naranjeros de Hermosillo ( Hermosillo Orange Pickers) of the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico. Considering Ramos did experience a previous problem with a left elbow strain. Back in 2006 suffered the injury and possibly the Rays are doing due diligence by possibly sending Ramos to their own doctors to examine the extent and possible effects of even a small scale injury to Ramos right now.
You can not fault the Rays for wanting to get a second opinion from their own battery of doctors before finally dotting the "I's" and crossing the "T's" on the Bartlett trade.
But in the mean time it has been a cloaked veil of secrecy again from the Rays camp as to the extent or possible injury prognosis in regards to Ramos. I actually had to find a friend who speaks fluent Spanish to even find a hint of nay injury or problems in regards to either Padres player in this trade. But that is the Modus Operandi of the Rays organization to hold their cards close to their vest before I might have found a reason for the trade delay.
With the clock ticking on both the Rays and Padres side of this trade agreement, let's hope that we can get a valid and feasible window finally established to either kill or proceed with this trade. Lives are being held up in the balance, and that is not fair when people are trying to formulate or adequately plan their upcoming Spring Training home sites.
But sometimes that is the nature of the trade beast where a single variable can sink the trade and send both teams scattering for a solution before exhausting all their options and calling it quits. Hopefully for all three players involved in this trade we can get a fast solution and lives put back into motion, both on and off the baseball diamond.

Well, looks like that last paragraph is a wish for the entire Rays offseason… let's just get it over with and get back to work.
Now that the top tier guys have fallen off the mountain top, there will be an avalache of deals in the next 24-36 hours.
Worst thing about this setback with Bartlett is that it might make the Rays a bit nervous with Garza getting a nice bump up in pay also this Winter.
If the Bartlett deals goes sour, expect Garza or Shields to be jettisoned before Christmas/New Years break.

None of these deals seem to go as planned lately. There's drama in every one of them. Love your investigative work though. CSI: Tampa!
Just doing my own bit of journalistic due dilligence.
I am surprised that I am the only one who has come out with the aspect that cesar Ramos is on the 7-day DL with his Mexican Pacific Team.
Rays INdex (Corky Gaines) did give me some online props for bring this to the surface…..So I got that going for me.
I agree totally that the deals have all made a weird turn at the last second….wonder if it is this weird cold weather?
Rays Renegade
It really is amazing how much you can dig up when you really want too. Kudos for getting to the bottom of this.
In all honesty though I think the Phillies front office proved the point of keeping intentions and options close are in the clubs best interest….
(Phillies Outside)
I really want to see Jason Bartlett play as an everyday shortstop in a Padres uniform next year. Padres need help in middle infield, especially since Miguel Tejada signed with the Giants (sigh). I think Bartlett will be a solid shortstop for the team. Pretty cool that he was drafted during the 13th round of the 2001 draft by the Padres. I hope you guys will like Adam Russell and Cesar Ramos. We will take good care of Bartlett!
That has been the modus operandi of the Rays front office from the start. Part black ops, part 007, but nothing is official until they want it to be….finished.
Got lucky with a little investigative work, something I used to love to do for the paper back in the old days.
Finding just this little nugget sparks a hunger to do more….
Rays Renegade
Bartlett just got too expensive for the Rays. He could command at least $ 5.5 million through salary arbitration this Winter, and the Rays have a good young defensive shortstop now doing time as a utility player.
Anxious to see 6'8″ Adam Russell get his intimidating size to the mound. He will throw at around the same angle of current Rays tall man Jeff Niemann, who is kind of scary when that slider leaves his hand almost 7 feet in the air.
Bartlett is also from Cali, so it will be a bit of a homecoming for him.

"Pretty Is What Changes" is both the title of a new book by Jessica Queller and a line from a Stephen Sondheim song entitled, "Sunday in the Park with George." The book is the story of a young woman who tests positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation after watching her mother survive breast cancer only to die of ovarian cancer. This excellent book presents the facts in a logical, organized format and addresses the frightening statistic that the 36-year-old author has an 87 percent chance of developing breast or ovarian cancer over her lifetime. Ms. Queller is intelligent, funny, gorgeous and most of all real. Reading her book reminded me of my own difficult decisions as a young, single woman who strongly desired children facing not just the possibility of the disease, but an actual case of aggressive breast cancer at the same age.
I loved reading about her preference to have a child with a lifelong partner, but the guts to try it alone if that did not materialize. I did just that in my own life and felt a special connection to this woman I have never met. Having had a child (as a single woman) after chemo, surgery and radiation I now sit on the other side of that glorious fence with my daughter who recently turned 3.
The author is hugely courageous – not only for her personal choice, (which includes a prophylactic removal of her breast and eventually ovaries) but for her ability to bring these important question into the light of day where they can be discussed, debated, researched and addressed.
Like one of our very own bloggers, Kathy-Ellen Kups, she has a sister who is tossed into the mix by being forced to either get the test herself and plan a course of action no matter the result or toss her proverbial head in the sand. Kathy-Ellen's sister is recovering from her surgery as I write this, and I applaud her bravery as well.
We all know how important early detection is in the fight against cancer and education, resources as well as plain old luck impact the prognosis and progression of this disease. I found this book to be well written, clever and factually accurate. I think it should be required reading for anyone with a family history of breast, ovarian or prostate cancer.
According to the publisher's Web site, for those of you who live in the Los Angeles area, Jessica Queller will be holding a reading and book signing at Book Soup on Sunset Boulevard at 7 PM on Thursday, April 17th.

Marketing is a science and an art; it also doesn't have right and wrong answers. Marketing tactics fall into categories more like 'things that work' and 'things that don't'. Among the tactics that work is a principle called keeping the look and feel. There is a dump truck driver in Utah who does this very well.
Creating a look and feel
When a person thinks of a dump truck driver, they may have an image of a greasy looking man with a mug full of coke, but Mike Thatcher doesn't fit this stereotype as he owns a business that sells landscape boulders and delivers his own product.
Thatcher said that heads turn every time he is filling up on gas or walking around on the job because he doesn't look like the typical dump truck driver. With khakis, a button up shirt and collar, many people seem to do a double take as he walks by.
"A lot of people make a fuss over the fact that I dress up nice," Thatcher said.
"I spend the money to have work clothes to look nice, but the logo on my shirt is what really sets me apart."
Using promotionals
Beyond the nice clothes Thatcher can always be spotted with his logo on his shirt and hat. He recently bought $600 worth of shirts with his logo on them; to add to ones he wears. Thatcher also has a collection of hats with his logo on the front.
"I used to give hats away to customers, and I still do sometimes," Thatcher said.
Thatcher said that one of the things he tries to do in marketing is to establish a look and a feel in the company.
"Things like the business card, the logo on the card, the logo on the header of stationary and on the website, these all need to have a look and feel that brings them together." Thatcher said. "Having it on your shirt so that it is part of you when you meet with clients is great. Clients get the look and feel when I show up to meet them and no one wonders who I am when I am walking around, because it is on my truck, shirt and hat."
Customers are visual. When they see a business without even really a logo, or without it shown in clear sight, they may think that represents the type of business they have. But when a look and feel of a business is established and shown in different ways, the business comes across as much more put together, as Mike Thatcher has worked hard to do.

Every week -- often with your help -- FOOD52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
Today: A world-brightening fried rice you could make right now -- not tomorrow -- if you really wanted.
There's something silly about longing for leftover rice. It's one of the easiest things to make, a staple on dinner tables the world over, and yet ... it's never there when you need it. For fried rice.
Just about every recipe and tutorial out there calls for day-old rice. People get really feisty about this. I get it: the grains are drier and firmer than freshly cooked, and will absorb flavor without clumping and sogging.
But I've always felt oppressed by this rule. Fried rice is meant as this hallmark of kitchen efficiency, a catchall for your best scraps -- but not if you can never hang onto yesterday's stash at the right time. This is a dinner that requires leftover coordination, a skill I may never have.
Or so I thought.
As former Food52 intern Will Levitt and blogger Joy Huang both told me, Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Ginger Fried Rice is a dish so good, so comforting and mood-altering, you won't want to save it for just the days there happens to be a quart of jasmine rice in your fridge. And the good news is: you don't have to.
Here's why:
When Mark Bittman published this recipe in his Minimalist column in 2010, he told us to cook the rice just until heated through, over medium heat -- and he meant it. Not a searing wok-fry, just a warm up. (Full disclosure: Bittman also says to use leftover rice, but -- in case you couldn't tell -- I don't think you need to.)
It's because Jean-Georges has you first crisp up ginger and garlic in your oil, till they're so bronzed and crackly you'll think they're burnt. You fish them out and save them to sprinkle on at the end. This texture is a revelation, and takes the pressure off the rice to be perfectly aired out, flaky, and crisp. Those brown bits all the resistance you need.
Of course, you don't want steamy rice porridge either. But here's all you have to do if you're cooking the rice fresh:
• When the cook time is done, leave the rice undisturbed in the pot (uncovered) for 5 minutes, to give it a chance to get some integrity before you go sticking spoons in there.
• Spread the rice on a tray (or two) to dry out. Put it by an open window or a fan.
• To hurry this along, pop the tray in the fridge or freezer if you have room. Move along to slicing leeks and mincing ginger.
• Jaden Hair at Steamy Kitchen also recommends starting with 1/4 to 1/3 less water when cooking the rice, to hedge your bets. I like Jaden.
(If you're the type of person who always has leftover cooked rice on hand, just use that. I salute you.)
You can do this with any fried rice you want to make right this second, but it's especially suited to this gem of a recipe, a marvel of textures and flavors. Here, a little softness is welcome.
From those crispy ginger and garlic bits, which have left behind a deliciously flavored oil to gloss up the rice, the action keeps coming: slippery soft leeks, gently fried rice, and finally electrifying streaks of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a world-brightening sunny-side-up egg.
And you can have it all ... tonight. Not tomorrow. Tonight!

The building features a main dining room, five smaller dining areas, several lounges, recreational areas as well as other activity spaces. Many of these spaces were in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint. The preexisting coatings were in dated colors and also had begun to chip and peel. Provided the sensitive nature of the building's residents, it was not possible to relocate nearly 160 senior citizens ranging in age from mid-60s to 104 and in varying health conditions to repaint. It was also not possible to block wings or even hallways in the building. Open space had to remain to allow wheel chairs, walkers and medical carts to maneuver. Many of the residents attended activities and socialized throughout the building and needed to be able to safely make their way throughout the building. Also many of the residents could not physically tolerate solvent paint odor as a result of respiratory problems. The need for excellent paint coverage was also a concern since most of the walls were currently bold and bright oranges, purples and greens. Solution: Anchorage Pioneer Home chose Rust-Oleum's Sierra Performance Beyond Multi-Purpose enamel as it is a water-based, urethane modified acrylic paint that dries in 30 minutes and allows for multiple coats to be applied within one day. Sierra Performance coatings have no solvent odor so the product could be applied in occupied spaces without disturbing the residents. The Pioneer Home staff is pleased with the appearance and durability of the coatings as well as the satisfaction of the building residents. The staff received no complaints from any of the over 160 residents and will continue to use Sierra in the future.

I recently bought a bicycle, mostly for exercise and fun. I am not fat, but I am really out of shape, I get tired quickly and cannot stand very long rides.
I know riding a bike constantly will reduce this, but the area I live are not very plain, which I would consider better. Most of the time I'm going (slightly) uphill or downhill; I'd like my bike rides to be "smoother" than this.
Is there a way to optimize my ride, so I can get the most of it?
I have a cheap road bike. It has only 12 gears, but except for steep hills, the gears are ok.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Harvard fell behind by a touchdown before flexing its muscle as the Ivy League champion Crimson cruised past Yale, 45-7, at Yale Bowl in the 128th edition of The Game.
Harvard (9-1, 7-0 Ivy), which won its 14th Ivy title last weekend, continued its recent domination of Yale (5-5, 4-3 Ivy) by winning its sixth straight at Yale Bowl, fifth-straight in the series and 10th in the last 11 meetings. It marked the highest output against Yale since an identical score of 45-7 at Cambridge in 1982.
Last week, Harvard fell behind to Penn, 7-0, before scoring 37-straight points and performed in similar fashion this week, scoring 45 unanswered.
Harvard's offensive might was on display from the beginning as the Crimson ran up 357 yards and 20 first downs in the opening half alone. All told, Harvard had 506 yards of offense as the Crimson set a single-season scoring record with 374 points. Defensively, Harvard sacked Yale's Jeff Witt four times, intercepted him three times and also forced a fumble.
Place kicker David Mothander ran for a five-yard touchdown on a fake field goal in the second quarter to make it a 21-7 Harvard lead; Chris Splinter blocked a field goal and Alex Gedeon, the 138th captain of Harvard football, returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown on his final collegiate snap.
Collier Winters, who set a single-season record for completion percentage (.686), stated his case for postseason honors, completed 27-of-42 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns while running for a game-high 62 and another touchdown.
Kyle Juszczyk and Alex Sarkisian led the receiving corps with seven catches and a touchdown each; Juszczyk had 107 yards and Sarkisian 97.
Bobby Schneider led the Crimson with 10 tackles (eight solo) while D.J. Monroe and Gedeon had nine tackles and an interception each. Josue Ortiz had his 10th solo sack of the season and, following the game, proposed to his girlfriend during the on-field celebration while surrounded by his teammates.
The game was anything but easy early on however.
Harvard marched right down the field on its opening possession but Winters fumbled the ball into the Elis' endzone with the home team recovering for a touchback.
After trading possessions, the Bulldogs capitalized on a short Harvard punt. On third and three, Witt had great protection in the pocket and found Jackson Ligouri on a crossing pattern. Ligouri bounced off a tackler and shed another, spinning into the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown at the 7:25 mark.
Facing a touchdown deficit for a third-straight week, Harvard answered immediately. The Crimson drove 73 yards, never facing a third down as Winters finished the drive with a 5-yard option carry to tie things at the 3:59 mark.
Yale's Ligouri then fumbled a would-be first down catch as Brian Owusu popped it from behind with Jaron Wilson recovering for the Crimson at its 43 yard line. The result came quickly as Winters found Sarkisian on a crossing pattern for a 20-yard strike on the first play of the second quarter for a 14-7 lead.
On Yale's ensuing possession, Splinter broke through to block a 34-yard yard field goal. Harvard took over on its 28 and drove 67 yards to Yale's five before lining up for a 22-yard field goal. Instead, Harvard faked it with holder Colton Chapple pitching the ball to Mothander. The former high school wide receiver, used to making plays, bullied his way into the end zone for 21-7 lead. Three possessions later, Mothander made it a 24-7 game at the half with a 22-yard field goal.
Late in the third quarter, Harvard pressured Witt into forcing a pass on 4th-and-5 from the Crimson 30. Jaron Wilson picked it off and Harvard went 60 yards on six plays, capping things on an 11-yard TD run from Zach Boden to make it a 31-7 game.
Things got worse for Yale as Juszczyk pulled in a short pass and shed his defender before outrunning the Yale defense for a 60-yard touchdown. Gedeon then jumped a Witt pass late in the game, returning it 35 yards for an exclamation on his fine career.

After a 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck California, celebrities took to Twitter to tell of their distressing St. Patrick's Day tremor.
Patton Oswalt seemed to have fun with the morning bounce and wanted to discuss the last episode of Girls since his fellow Los Angeles residents were roused by the quake.
Wheeeee! #earthquake— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) March 17, 2014
Well, since we're all awake, what'd you guys think of GIRLS last night?— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) March 17, 2014
Nathan Fillion would like you to please stop disturbing his Castle beauty sleep. He quickly recovered with a shaken, not stirred St. Patrick's Day libation.
I'm up. I'm up! Quit shaking the bed.— Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) March 17, 2014
Happy St. Patty's Day, LA! (Shaken, not stirred.)— Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) March 17, 2014
Kendall Jenner is confused that her mom, Kris, thinks one can run from an earthquake.
And Hollywood reporter Sam Rubin was on it when he reassured us all that the 310 area code received no damage.
Well, THAT woke me up. On a day on a day off no less. #earthquake #nodamageinthe310— Sam Rubin (@samontv) March 17, 2014
We all have our celebrities to thank for reporting the event and sacrificing their important beauty slumbers.

Balancing the Risk in Medical Products
The New York Times recently reported a dramatic increase in complaints regarding artificial hips, widely used in hip replacements. The culprit is the metal-on-metal hip implant, used in an estimated one-third of hip replacements. Serious injuries result from the deterioration of the artificial hip, which often causes fragments to break off while in the body. The Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.), the agency receiving the complaints, is responsible for allowing the device to enter the Continue Reading →

An alluring take on same-sex love!
Carol isn't just a self-exploration sojourn of Therese Belivet; it is so much more. With an enchanting screenplay to keep us company, Carol walks with a constant finesse depicting human emotions in a beautiful way. You can't help but feel for the characters as they carry the right gusto in their acts.
Rooney Mara is simply outstanding. She carries a face of innocence that reads confusion quite often, whilst trying to learn the ways of her character. Coming to her aid is the voluptuous Carol Aird played by Cate Blanchett, whose life is torn apart owing to an ongoing divorce scene that hurls her into fits of melancholia.
The way Todd Haynes traverses the camera from a gutter to a third person perspective by capturing the rattling and chugging of a train in the backdrop, to reach the protagonists having a conversation on a table speaks volume of his sheer genius. Right there the prologue gets painted, and memories gush in from the past through the mist of the car window, as Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara) gawks at the city, being indifferent to the talks of the mundane.
It is a beautiful way of depicting movie frames which Haynes seems to have mastered. He nails them like a pro. Complements Todd brilliantly in the background with an enthralling profound score is Carter Burwell, whose music is placed at right scenes, to make you feel the flick's endearing rhythm.
"My angel, flung out of space."
Love has so many forms. It goes beyond age and sex, and Patricia Highsmith's story couldn't cover it better. With a genius like Todd to help us crawl alongside the frames, the movie forever stays in empathetic waters. With spectacular performances by Cate and Rooney, the movie reaches a pinnacle of emotions. Little things, like when Therese notices minute details in Carol whilst she drives, and when she shows up eventually with a quivering heart hoping that she would see her are all brilliantly shot.
The movie's drama at times misses on milking Carol's love for Therese. Her life's atrocities fail to cash in on the love she feels for Therese, and that's where the flick appears to have dwindled. But still Haynes manages to keep the juices flowing and what we have in the end is a magnificent project in melodrama.
Highly recommended!

Follow it to reach Bailey?s Crossroads Metro. - Bailey?s Crossroads Metro ? When you enter go left and follow the path, down two stairs and past a a Nuka Cola vending machine into a large open room. Just go to the opposite side and follow the path until the end. +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ - Bailey?s Crossroads ? Go up the stairs and you?ll witness a large scale battle between Super Mutants and Brotherhood Outcasts. Just let the Outcasts take care of the Super Mutant problem and make sure to loot every corpse you?ll find. Just follow the Outcasts through the ruins until you get approached by a man called Defender Morin. He?ll be interested in your Pipboy and will send you to Protector McGraw. Follow the marker and use the elevator. - Outcast Outpost ? Once inside you?ll be greeted by Defender Sibley who is anything but pleased with your presence. He?ll lead you to McGraw so follow him. Once greeted by McGraw himself you?ll learn that the Outcasts need your help. You have a Pipboy, something they desperately need to open something important. Follow Sibley again to get to Specialist Olin. Like all the other outcasts she isn?t very good at making positive first impressions.

Important !!!! 4 of the 10 Intelligence Cases are found in this mission. If you miss them now you won?t be able to return to collect time! - Anchorage Cliffs ? Immediately you?ll be woken up by Sergeant Benjamin Franklin who will tell you about the current situation and your new assignment. You are to infiltrate the Chinese Artillery Site. Follow the path until you see an enemy. It?s a Chinese Soldier. Once you kill him, either by sniping him from afar or by blasting him from close, you can not loot his corpse. Regardless of your method, after you killed the soldier you?ll find: - Health Dispenser - Since you can not use stimpacks or any other medical item to restore your health, you?ll need to use these. Once used they will restore you to full health. They are hard to miss as well as they emit a red glow. Follow the path down some stairs and go over the bridge. Go up the stairs again until you reach a small open platform. Instead of going left to enter the cabin go to the right first and down some stairs to find a frag mine, sniper rifle and health dispenser. Now go back up the stairs and into the cabin you skipped previously. You?ll find 2 frag mines , 2 frag grenades, Chinese Assault Rifle and: - Ammunition Dispenser ? These dispensers will restore your ammunition to full capacity. Now go out the opposite entrance and you?ll arrive at a giant pipe. Don?t worry about falling off, just walk over it, go around the stairs and then up the stairs. Go to your right and you?ll see three barrels. You?ll find a Stealth Boy. Return to the pipe and cross it to the other side. Keep following the path and stairs all the way to the top. When you arrive at the top you?ll see a door. Enter it. - Cave Outpost ? Keep following the path and you?ll get to a cavern. You?ll see someone get killed and this is very convenient for you because the soldier happens to drop a Gauss Rifle. I advise you to try and snipe the Chinese soldiers in area with your sniper rifle and not to rely too much on your Gauss Rifle yet. Ammunition for it is scarce at the moment and you?ll want to be able to use it when you?re cornered. After picking up the Gauss Rifle turn to the south and enter the small chamber. Inside you?ll find a health dispenser, 2 frag mines, 2 frag grenades, a Chinese Assault Rifle and 5 Microfusion cells, ammunition for your Gauss Rifle. Now turn around and follow the path past some stairs until you reach a ramp that goes up. There?s a Chinese soldier nearby so be cautious. Once you?re past the ramp you need to go through the carved door opening. Follow the path until you?ll meet a friend who?ll then stay at your side to assist you. Go through the door that opens and follow the hallway. Go through the door to get to the next area. - Anchorage Cliffs ? Now go left and follow the ramp until you get to some stairs. Go down them and dispose of the nearby Chinese units. Go to the lowest platform. !!!! Intelligence Case 1/10 !!!! At the lowest platform you?ll see a large white pipe. Go down the nearby stairs and cross the pipe to reach a cabin. You?ll find a Health Dispenser inside and a metal door. Go through the door to find the first Intelligence Case. Return to the platform. Follow the path to the north again, once more helping Chinese soldiers out of their misery. Cross two bridges and you?ll arrive at a new platform. !!!! Intelligence Case 2/10 !!!! You?ll see a metal door in the wall. Go through it and you?ll find your second Intelligence Case. Return to the previous area. Go across the catwalks and enter the small bunker. Go through the hallways. You?ll come across an Ammunition Dispenser. You can also find 1 frag mine, 2 frag grenades and 7 Microfusion cells. Keep going through the hallways until you reach another bridge. Cross it, but be aware of the Chinese soldiers up ahead. Some are fortified inside bunkers so they can remove quite some health if you aren?t careful. They are also accompanied by turrets. If you have a high science skill you can hack the turrets control system and disable the parameters. If not then just throw some grenades inside to kill the soldiers. If you are low on health try to get to the top bunker where you will find a health dispenser. Be careful as there are two Chinese soldiers inside. Get down again and enter the building - Chinese Artillery Outpost ? Go to the main area where some Chinese soldiers will be awaiting you. Kill them any way you like. Before you climb the stairs however go the the right where you?ll see a large open room filled with boxes. Near the end you?ll find a sniper rifle, 2 missiles, a frag mine, 6 Microfusion cells, an Ammunition dispenser and a Health dispenser. Return to the open area and climb the stairs all the way to the top. Enter the nearby room and take a look at the overturned table. Follow the hallway, but walk slowly. !!!! Intelligence Case 3/10 !!!! Inside the hallway go around the corner and you?ll see the metal door. Enter it to find your third Intelligence Case. Return to the hallway. Follow the hallway, go past an empty room and keep going until you hear your friend make a comment about the Chimera Tanks. Keep on going until you are in a room with a terminal next to a door. !!!! Intelligence Case 4/10 !!!! Enter the door near the terminal to find the fourth Intelligence Case and two frag grenades. Return to the previous area. Next to the door you?ll find a frag mine, a frag grenade, 5 Microfusion cells, 2 missiles and an ammunition dispenser. Go up the stairs and you?ll find two frag grenades and a health dispenser. Now keep following the path, killing more Chinese soldiers until you get to a bunch of warheads. Cross the room until you see stairs. If you are in need of some health you can go to north east corner of the room and enter the small room where you?ll find a Health dispenser. Go up the stairs and through the door. If you go to the right you can open the door to find a journal of a soldier. If you?re not interested just go to the right. Keep following the hallways and go up two set of stairs. You?ll come across an Ammunition dispenser, Health dispenser, 4 missiles and some Microfusion cells. Now resume your path by going up the stairs again and keep marching until you reach another large open room. You?ll encounter a new kind of enemy here, the Crimson Dragoon. These Chinese nasties use the Chinese Stealth Suit, but you can still see them if you look carefully. Just don?t rush and try to be patient or you?ll find yourself getting shot at from all directions. When you?ve dealt with the nearly invisible threat go up the stairs and keep following the catwalks until you reach the door. Go through it and up the stairs. You?ll find an Ammunition dispenser, a Health dispenser, a frag mine, two missiles and 7 Microfusion cells. Leave the area. - Artillery Overlook ? Once outside you?ll find yourself with two options. You can go to the left or the right, but regardless of your choice you?re going to end up with one of the Artillery guns. In this guide we will go to the right to encounter less resistance. Go down the stairs and catwalks and you?ll see a device planted on a Artillery gun. This is the controller and you need to destroy it. Sounds complicated? Approach it and press A. Just make sure you get enough distance or you might be sightseeing Anchorage from above. Inside the nearby bunker you?ll find an Ammunition Dispenser, a Health dispenser, two frag grenades and four Microfusion cells. With all those Microfusion cells you?ve been collecting feel free to blast away with your Gauss if you haven?t done so already. Now go up the stairs across the first Artillery Gun and follow the path to get to the second one. Watch out for the sniper on top of the rocks. Across the second one you?ll find an ammunition dispenser, health dispenser, 2 frag mines, 3 frag grenades, 2 missiles and 5 Microfusion cells. Repeat the process, destroy this one by pressing A and the rest is self- explanatory. Finally follow the path and go to the third Artillery cannon. Inside the bunker you?ll find an ammunition dispenser, health dispenser, 2 missiles and 6 Microfusion cells. Now go and destroy the third and final artillery cannon. Now prepare for a long trek to the camp fighting loads of enemies along the way. Don?t worry, you?ll just get teleported back to the camp as soon as the third Artilery gun explodes. Congratulations soldier, you have completed the mission. =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= 3.4) Paving the Way [OA4] =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= - Command Tent - Immediately General Chase will greet you and promote you to Squad Leader. With this you can now lead a squad into battle, though it sounds better than it actually is. Basically put, you recruit some soldier types and order them to attack a location. They will go there automatically, shoot everything that?s hostile and that?s it. For more detail please refer to section 3.7. Before you go out I recommend you use the two computers. Use Patterson?s computer to assign members to your team and use the Requisition Terminal to request a special package. For more information about this please refer to section 3.7. Once you are done leave the tent. - U.S. Army Field Headquarters ? Go see the Quartermaster who you can find east of the Command Tent. If you pass a speech check you can get a Gauss Rifle as well. Inside his tent you?ll find an ammunition dispenser, health dispenser , three missiles, 5 Microfusion cells, 3 frag grenades and a frag mine. If you go to the tent south of the Command Tent you will encounter Doctor Adami who will give you 5 free Psychos. Now that?s out of the way go talk to Sergeant Benjamin. You?ll get to choose which mission you desire to do first. Tell them to wait at either Ice Camp or the Mining Town. In this guide we?ll go and visit Ice Camp. Just follow your squad and before you know it you?ll be there. Once they stop, stop as well. - Ice Camp ? You?ve got two choices here. You can either assault the camp by yourself or you can command your squad to assault the camp together with you. Regardless of your choice, go to the tents and kill every non-American you see. Go into the tent on the east and you?ll find an Ammunition dispenser, Health dispenser, three missiles, 2 frag mines, 3 frag grenades and 5 Microfusion cells. Once you got everything you wanted exit the tent through the eastern side. Stop between tents to the north. !!!! Intelligence Case 5/10 !!!! Go into the tent to your left (the West). You?ll find it on the table. Exit the tent again. Go through the most northern tent and go through to the other end. Right after you leave the tent look at your right. You?ll see two captive American soldiers and being a loyal patriot yourself it is time to save them. You?ll also find an Ammunition dispenser, 2 missiles, a frag mine, 3 frag grenades, and 3 Microfusion cells. Once again, just follow your squad after you have given them orders to go to the Chimera Depot. - Chimera Depot ? Again, you are free to choose whatever you want. Either assault alone or command your squad to attack together. Once past the gate you?ll see your first target. Your target is the Chimera Depot Fuel Tank next to the stationary Chimera Tank. Just approach it and press A. !!!! Intelligence Case 6/10 !!!! Go into the building right across the stationary Chimera tank. You?ll find the Intelligence Case lying on the table. You?ll also find an Ammunition dispenser, a Health dispenser, 2 frag mines, 3 frag grenades and 5 Microfusion cells. The second target is South-West of the first, but before you can destroy it you get to have some fun with a Chimera tank. Just use your Gauss Rifle or any other strong weapon. The moment the second one explodes you?ll be teleported back to Headquarters. - Command Tent ? You?ll be back inside the Command Tent again. You can change your weapon package if you desire, but that?s about all you can do inside this tent. Leave the tent. - U.S. Army Field Headquarters ? Just like the previous mission approach Sergeant Benjamin and order him to wait at Mining Town. Follow them and you?ll be there before you know it. - Mining Town ? Immediately as you approach Mining Town you?ll see what?s happening. Two American soldiers are present as well and sadly enough one of them has a little accident. Assault the town but be careful as there is a missile unit nearby and two snipers. They very trigger happy and a reckless young American is their fantasy. Go up the stairs in the right building and go through the door and then to the left. You?ll come across an Ammunition dispenser, Health dispenser, 3 frag grenades, 1 frag mine, 2 missiles and 6 Microfusion cells. !!!! Intelligence Case 7/10 !!!! Look at the Ammunition dispenser and turn around 180 degrees. Walk forward and you?ll find it lying on a crate. Now leave the ruined building and go down the stairs. You?ll see another set of stairs on the other side of the area. Go there and go upstairs. Enter the ruined building and in the middle go to the right, all the way to the end. You?ll find another captive American so free him. Next to him you can find a Health dispenser, an Ammunition dispenser, 3 missiles, 2 frag mines, 3 frag grenades and 5 Microfusion cells. Return to the other side of the house again and go North East. Look to your right and you?ll find your path. Follow it. Clear the area up ahead of enemy forces and enter the building. - Listening Post ? Now that you are inside the Listening Post you need to secure the place. Go through the left door and follow the path. Before you go up the stairs turn around. You?ll see a Crimson Dragoon, but he appears to be friendly so far. Just kill him, simple as that. Go up the stairs and follow the path. !!!! Intelligence Case 8/10 !!!! Just underneath the second stair you?ll find the eight Intelligence Case. When you arrive at a big room, don?t immediately rush to get the supplies. It?s an ambush as there are a bunch of Crimson Dragoons waiting for you. Try to find them and kill them first. The supplies consist of a Health dispenser, Ammunition dispenser, 3 frag grenades, 2 missiles, a frag mine and 5 Microfusion cells. Go through the eastern door and follow the path again. Eventually once the building is cleared go outside. Once all units inside the building and outside are killed you?ll be teleported back again to the Command Tent. Good job soldier! Another mission well done. =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= 3.5) Operation Anchorage [OA5] =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= - Command Tent ? Nothing to do here, just leave. - U.S. Army Field Headquarters ? Now it?s time for the last mission before Operation Anchorage comes to an end. You need to disable the Pulse Field and drive the Chinese away once and for all. Leave Headquarters and start marching to the north. Avoid the craters, don?t jump in them. Eventually you?ll see a trench, go inside. Walk through the trench to the other side and keep on marching until you reach the next trench. Make your way through the trench until you see a small cabin. Go inside and you?ll find a captive American. Free him. !!!! Intelligence Case 9/10 !!!! You?ll see it immediately when you free the captive American. Leave the cabin again and follow the path once more, go up the stairs at the end and make your way to the next trench. You?ll come across a Health dispenser, Ammunition dispenser, 2 frag grenades, 2 frag mines, 2 missiles and 3 Microfusion cells. Head north again and go left twice. You?ll arrive near some beds and a Health dispenser. Head back to the intersection and go right this time. Watch out for the Chinese Inferno Unit. Keep following the path and eventually you?ll reach an Ammunition dispenser, a Health dispenser, a frag mine, 2 frag grenades, 2 missiles and 6 Microfusion cells. Resume your path again by going up the stairs and following the path. Make your way past the barbwire, at the end go right and into the building. You?ll find another Health dispenser. Go north again and make your way to the building north-west. You?ll find an Ammunition dispenser, Health dispenser, 3 frag grenades, 2 missiles, 2 frag mines and 4 Microfusion cells. Leave the building again and go right. Make your way around the building and go north-west again. Go through it and you?ll reach a large open field. Watch what happens when you cross it whilst wearing Power Armor. Anyways, go to the east and enter the building there to shut down the Pulse Field. !!!! Intelligence Case 10/10 !!!! The case is right next to the button used to deactivate the Pulse Field. You?ll get the perk when you finished the simulation. Deactivate the Pulse Field and head north-west. Time to finish this. Go through the door. - Chinese HQ ? You?ll get to meet Jing-Wei, the Chinese General. You?ll get two choices. You can convince him to kill himself or you can kill him. If you try to kill him yourself be warned. Jing-Wei is a strong opponent and should not be underestimated. Regardless of what choice you made, once Jing-Wei is death the simulation will end. You?ll get a nice welcome back in reality. Now go to the armory which is across the hall and open it by using the terminal. Be careful though because Sibley and the rest of the Outcasts will become hostile and attack you, Specialist Olin and McGraw. If you save Olin she will repair your weapons for a small fee. After the rebels have been taken care of feel free to take whatever you want from the armory though I suggest to be fast or Olin will take some stuff. That concludes Operation Anchorage. Excellent job soldier! As an extra bonus you will also have Power Armor training allowing you to wear Power Armor without having to go to The Citadel. =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= 3.6) The Intelligence Cases [OA6] =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= 1. Shortly after you rejoin Sergeant Benjamin Montgomery, you'll walk past a large steel pipe connecting the two mountains. Walk across the pipe and inside the bunker will be a locked door. Inside is the intel, underneath the desk. (Montgomery will make a comment about crossing the pipe, and how crazy what you're doing is.) If you hear Montgomery comment on how he never wants to see another catwalk again, then you've gone too far. The pipe is a short distance behind you. 2. After Montgomery's comment about how he never wants to see another catwalk again, you should come to a cable bridge. Across that bridge is a locked door in the cliff. Inside the room is the next piece of intel. (Again, you'll know that you went too far because Montgomery will make a comment about the objective ahead. The door should be behind you.) 3. After entering the artillery outpost, climb the set of stairs in front of you. (There should be a guard climbing the stairs when you enter the outpost.) You'll enter a room with a Chinese assault rifle on a box behind the overturned table. Head east into the hallway, and after you turn the corner there will be a door to your left (west). Inside is the next piece of intel. When you hear Montgomery comment about the Chimera tanks, you have gone too far. Turn around and head south. The hallway will be on your right (west), and the door should be right before you get to the bend. 4. When Montgomery makes his comment about the Chimera tanks, you'll be on a 'cliff' with the drop to your right (east). You'll soon enter into a room witha door on the west side. There is a terminal next to the door, and a table next to the terminal with various goodies. The intel is sitting on the desk in the room behind this door. If you reach the stairs, you've gone too far. The door is directly behind you. 5. The next piece of intel is in the mining town on the way to the listening post. After you cross the train tracks you will come to a stack of metal crates to your left (with a sniper on top), and a sandbag wall along the small cliff to the right with a chinese rocket soldier. When you climb the stairs to get on that cliff you will come to the remains of a building with several wooden crates inside. The crates to the left (east) have ammo and explosives on top. The crates to the right (west), have the intel on them. 6. Inside the listening post you will come to a room with a set of metal stairs. Beneath the metal stairs is a shelf with the intel sitting on it. (When you climb the stairs, you should see three fans in the south wall. Climb back down the stairs and look beneath them.) 7. On your way to the chimera depot, you will have the opportunity to have your strike team attack an Ice Camp (Chinese Forward Camp Delta on your world map). In the Ice Camp is your next Intel. You're there when NPC soldier says "Nothing in there work taking," directly after a firefight. Check the one tent that's by itself. There should be a large red crate inside the tent and behind the tent should be some snowmen. The Intel is on top of the table adjacent to the crate. 8. Just inside the chimera depot (you'll see a chimera tank beneath a crane, and there will be a chimera tank patroling), turn to your left. It's inside that makeshift building on the table next to the ham radio. 9. There is a long west-east trench in the battlefield trenches (You enter from the west). In the middle there is a 'shack' with a health dispenser and a captured American soldier. The intel is on top of the barrel that the captured soldier is facing. 10. At the pulse field, this piece of intel is on the crates to the left of the switch to turn off the pulse field. =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= 3.7) Squad information and Quartermaster [OA7] =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= In order to complete the last three missions you can recruit strike teams with specific members. The first time you need to use Patterson's Terminal which you can find in the Command Tent.

After you equip the suit, do not enter the simulation pod yet. Go into the locked room where Gary 23 is and then drag his body back into the pod room. Lift his body into the pod in a way that his body will be in front of you when you sit down. Make sure that it is close enough to search him. Once you sit down, it will not say you can search him so you are going to have to guess (try practicing where there is a chair). Also make sure his body is all the way in so it does not move when the pod closes. Enter the simulation and play through to Paving the Way. From this point on everything in your inventory will be taken out of the simulation, so remember to get your weapons package and Gauss Rifle from the Quartermaster and to pick up all the ammo found along the way. Continue playing up to Operation: Anchorage(quest). Play through the quest, disabling the pulse field and make your way to the doors of the Chinese Compound. At this point make sure you have a save before going in. Once you enter, pick the speech option 'I'm going to kill you SO MUCH'. Shoot the Shock Sword out of General Jingwei's hand. Pick up the Shock Sword and then kill him. Make sure you are not in the southern end of the compound because General Chase may catch you in a speech and send you back to the Outpost without making another save. As soon as you kill General Jingwei, run North toward the Chinese Soldiers and turn around to find where General Chase is and then make another save (you can overwrite your last save if you want). Now talk to General Chase and he will send you back to the Outpost (remember how you positioned the Gary 23's body in step 1) During the loading screen start to press A (search button) rapidly. If done properly, you will be able to search his body (normally happens in the black screen, but not always) and at this point put all your items on his body. Exit, talk to Protector McGraw, and then search Gary 23's body to retrieve your weapons from the simulation. This part is hard and will take several attempts to achieve it. Try several different methods such as rapidly pressing A or tapping A at a slower rate (changing the rate at which you press it helps), using third person, looking down (or down to left or right), or even trying a mixture of them. Also Most Weapons & Armor taken from within the Simulation will result in them never losing CND. The Fat Man, Super Sledge, Chinese Officer Sword lose Condition. - Getting all the weapons you requisition from the Quartermaster This is simple, all you do is get one of the tapes for a set weapons (ie: Close Combat, Fire Team, etc.) then get the weapons from the Quartermaster. After you do that, go back to the command tent and get another tape. Go outside again, drop your guns and talk to the Quartermaster again. He will give you the new set of weapons that you ask for. A message will then appear saying your other set of weapons were removed, but they will still be where you dropped them earlier. Keep repeating until you get the desired packages/weapons. If you use this with the other glitch (keeping the weapons from simulation), you can make a fast couple of caps once you sell the items or it's just a quick way of building an arsenal if you are a low level. Note: Attempting to talk to a stealthed Chinese Stealth Dragoon will cause it to reset your equipment to what you're supposed to have. Which weapons can be acquired through the simulation and ammunition trick It should be noted which weapons can be acquired in the sim. So far I've been able to collect: - All the quartermaster items, of course - Flamer - Fat Man (standard HP) - Minigun - (pre-war) Chinese Assault Rifle - Chinese Officer's Sword (standard HP) - Shock Sword The trick for some of them is to Gauss the gun out of someone's hand (to knock them down with minimal damage), at which point you can pickpocket them, usually. It works on the T-51b's before the pulse field, although it's sort of buggy - Infinite ammunition You can get infinite ammo by dropping it, using the dispenser, and picking it back up. Then when you exit the sim, you can sell a ton of it for a lot of money or keep it. Be very careful not to get too greedy with the infinite ammo trick, though! Stop once you get around 35000 of any ammo type (.556 will hit this before anything else comes close) or you will experience an awful glitch that removes all of that ammo type from your inventory and prevents you from acquiring that ammo type again. =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= 5) Version History [VHY] =_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_= 1/27/2009: Version 0.5; FAQ made on Fallout 3 board 1/27/2009: Version 1.0; FAQ updated and renewed on Fallout 3 board 2/05/2009: Version Auron; Faq updated, new exploits and info added 2/06/2009: Version Auron Supreme; FAQ completed, barely any errors left 4/21/2009: Progress started on Walkthrough.

After a week of secluding myself within my home, it feels good to be out among the living. We quarantined ourselves for almost two weeks. I definitely did not feel like sharing the nasty little bug my littles caught and then lovingly shared with me last week. Aren't those littles nice how they always want to share with their Mama? The only benefit of being sick was finishing a whole book in a weekend. I read Safe Haven and oh my Nicholas Sparks does not disappoint. Now I am just getting caught up on laundry and cleaning, which basically never ends right? You think you are finished and then remember tomorrow holds a whole new pile of laundry to be cleaned. But enough of my domestic whining, I am just thankful this morning to be able to share a new thrifted fashion post. My friend Jen stopped me at church a few weeks ago, asking for more fashion posts. She made me shed a little tear. She is such a sweet friend and always gives great advice. So here are me outfit details below. Have a beautiful Sunday lovelies. I am off to work on some bloggy stuff before my quiet house is no longer quiet.
The outfit Details....
Shirt: thrifted
necklace and earrings: Target Clearance
Layered Shirt: Shade Clothing
Maxi Skirt: Made By Me
Hand Bag: Gift
Gold Glitter Ballet Flats: Payless

Other Chicago suburbs gentrified or decayed their way through the 20th Century, while multiplying their populations. Meanwhile, Wayne persisted, the tortoise to their hare.
"We are frozen in time by intention," said Wayne's village president, Eileen Phipps, who compares her village to the fictional Brigadoon. "We have no Starbucks or McDonalds because people move here for a different kind of life. We want open space, large lots, wildlife and the equestrian heritage." Indeed, Wayne has long been the village of choice for the horsey set.
Located 30 miles west of Chicago's Loop, Wayne straddles the Kane and DuPage county line, although its village hall is in DuPage. It wasn't incorporated until 1958, but was founded in the 1830s and still has houses from that era. Wayne's population inched up to 2,407 by 2009. Phipps predicted it will max out between 2,500 and 2,800 people.
What keeps housing developers at bay, explained Phipps, is Wayne's 1- to 4-acre lot size minimums. And, the village has no city water or sewer lines. Even the older houses in the center of town, whose smaller lots were grandfathered in, have wells and septic fields.
Wayne's jagged boundaries stretched east and west from its downtown core as some unincorporated property owners annexed into the village. "We don't forcibly annex land," said Phipps. Now, Wayne is mostly landlocked and has boundary agreements with Bartlett, South Elgin, St. Charles and West Chicago.
Police Chief Dan Callahan has five full-time and eight to 10 part-time officers cruising Wayne's neighborhoods, where the people wave at them, he joked, "with all five fingers."
"Our department is the poster child of community policing," he said. "Because of our low crime rate, we're able to be proactive. We do vacation checks several times a day so the bad guys go elsewhere. We have keys to half of the homes."
A hectic day for his officers, said Callahan, includes an ambulance assist, speeding tickets for drivers who ignore Army Trail Road's 25 mph limit and traffic control for one of Wayne's frequent horse shows.
Many Wayne residents are on first-name basis with the officers because they pick up their mail across the street from the police station. Prior to 2000, the Wayne Post Office did not deliver. Since it added delivery, many residents still pick up their mail so they can greet neighbors.
Wayne residents treasure the history of their land, which was named for "Mad Anthony" Wayne, a Revolutionary War general. Its downtown, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, includes a few dozen historic houses.
An example of the in-town houses that sold recently is an 1836 three-bedroom charmer that sold for $237,000, reported Realtor Karen Ashe of Ashe Real Estate in Wayne.
More typical of Wayne home sales, though, is the four-bedroom, rehabbed 1800s estate that sold for $1.75 million. It includes a guest house, horse barn and tennis court.
While many Wayne residents keep horses at home, others board them the village's stables. Toni and Howard Levine board their horses, Senator and Bo Diddley, at the privately owned Dunham Woods Riding Club. "After a lousy day at work, the horses are very therapeutic," said Toni.
The stable, which is operated by the Wayne-DuPage Hunt, is adjacent to the former Solomon Dunham home. Built in 1836, the house is now a banquet facility.
In the 1880s. Dunham's son, Mark, built the house kitty-corner to the club, known as the Dunham Castle. Not a day goes by that people don't pull into their driveway to see this landmark, said Karen Armbrust, who owns the castle with her husband Dave. The 18-room, multi-turreted house was headquarters for Mark Dunham's French Percheron (draft horse) importing business that his letterhead called "the largest importing and breeding establishment in the world" and won 111 prizes in the 1893 World's Columbia Exposition.
Another local landmark is the Little Home Church by the Wayside, a picturesque venue for many brides and grooms each year. Built in 1871, it burned down and was rebuilt in 1872. "That was about the same time as the Chicago Fire, but Mrs. O'Leary's cow had nothing to do with this fire," said Pastor Ronald Purser.
Another architectural icon is getting a second life, thanks to the Wayne Historical Preservation Society. The original downtown railroad depot, built in 1884, had been retired by the Dunham family to the castle's property after the railroad quit using it. In 2007, the Society moved it to its original location, gave it a basement and began its restoration. Completed, it will double as a historical museum and community center.
After the Dunhams, Wayne's best-known resident was the late Marguerite Henry, who wrote 50 children's books, including several that chronicle the annual corralling of horses at Virginia's Chincoteague Island. Her former house is still on Army Trail Road.
While some of Wayne's west side homes are within St. Charles Community Unit School District 303, most fall within School District U-46 (Elgin). The latter includes Wayne Elementary School, which is tucked into the village's downtown. "Many of the Wayne kids, though, go to private schools, like Elgin Academy [in Elgin]," said Phipps.
Weekends, Wayne residents ride their horses or watch the hunt riders and their hounds chase the "fox." (A scent bag replaced a real fox years ago.)
West side residents have the Fox River in their back yard. That includes Adam and Tanya Szatkowski, whose sport of choice is kayaking. They built a house on two acres in 2008 after demolishing five of the dozens of former summer cottages built along the river at the turn of the century, when it was a destination for Chicagoans. "One of our neighbors has a house that used to be the dance hall," said Adam.
Bikers and hikers know Wayne for its serene stretch of the Illinois Prairie Path, which winds through the 3,432-acre Pratt's Wayne Woods Forest Preserve. Bird-watchers bring their binoculars to Pratt's to see species including sandhill cranes and yellow-headed blackbirds. Wayne is also home to plenty of deer, coyotes, owls and the beavers who recently toppled Phipps' apple trees.
In early October, neighbors gather for a pig roast, bonfire and kite-flying on Wayne Day. In June, the village stages a Flag Day parade and picnic.
The decades-long political hot button in Wayne is the proposed Red Gate Road bridge across the Fox River. If built, it would feed more east-west traffic through Wayne, although the village has jurisdiction of its stretch of Army Trail Road and has no intention of enlarging it to accommodate rush-hour commuters, said Phipps. Meanwhile, the nearby Stearns Road bridge, which the Illinois Department of Transportation plans to finish in 2011, makes the Red Gate project redundant in the eyes of many.
Wayne has only a handful of commercial residents that contribute sales taxes to its village coffers. Unlike some of its larger neighbors, though, it does not have big-city expenses. Its village board members donate their time, and residents give money to buy police department equipment. The result is property taxes on par with those in next-door St. Charles.
"When Meijer (supermarket) tried to build here, they said, 'Don't you understand the sales tax we'd bring in?'" recalled Phipps. "We said yes, we do, but you don't understand Wayne."
As she eyes the remainder of her term, Phipps said her goal is to "continue the quiet way of life that people move here for."
"Wayne is small-town country living but within reach of civilization," said Szatkowski. "There are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby in South Elgin and St. Charles. But day to day, it's just very peaceful."
Other Chicago suburbs gentrified or decayed their way through the 20th Century, while multiplying their populations. Meanwhile, Wayne persisted, the tortoise to their hare.

One of the fastest-spreading videos on the Web that peaked last week with millions of views but then quickly dropped off broke social media records while also raising questions about the value of the medium for effecting change.
The San Diego-based advocacy group Invisible Children created the Kony video to raise support for the arrest of the fugitive rebel leader wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The video, launched March 5, put Kony in the international spotlight.
Local news from across Southern California
The website, Visible Measure, which analyzes online trends trends, said "no traditional ad for a brand, cause or political campaign has come remotely close to that since we began this chart more than three years ago.
"Indeed, the only brand that remotely comes close is Old Spice," the site read.
It reached reached 100 milion views faster than any video it has ever tracked, according to the website.
The Atlantic Monthly reported that after garnering millions of hits over one week, appearing atop the list of search words and phrases on Google Trend, Web searches for Kony quickly dropped off.
The video attempts to call attention to Kony, who has been a fugitive for 26 years. He and his fighters are believed to be hiding deep into the remote Central Africa bush. U.S. special forces are aiding the hunt in four central African countries, including Uganda.
The 30-minute film, which depicts a war-torn Uganda through the eyes of a former LRA child soldier named Jacob, aims to pressure policy makers and prominent figureheads to voice their support for the 100-person team of U.S. soldiers aiding the Ugandan military in their hunt for Kony, Global Post reported.
Recently, however, the tone of the conversation has shifted, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
The first two days after the video was online, when attention on Twitter was relatively modest - 77 percent of the Twitter conversation was supportive compared with only 7 percent that was skeptical or negative, the report said.
Since March 7, when the response picked up dramatically, the percentage of tweets reflecting skepticism or criticism rose to 17 percent. Some of the positive responses came from notable celebrities whose posts were widely retweeted.
Among the celebrities who have hopped on the Kony 2012 campaign bandwagon - Zooey Deschanel, Rihanna and Stephen Fry have used the hashtag #STOPKONY.
But while the intentions of the publicity push are good, some critics question the movement's effects.
"These simple narratives can cause damage," blogged Ethan Zuckerman, a researcher at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Univeristy. "By simplifying the DRC [Democratic Republic of the Congo] situation to a conflict about minerals, the numerous other causes – ethnic tensions, land disputes, the role of foreign militaries – are all minimized…What are the unintended consequences of the Invisible Children narrative? The main one is increased support for Yoweri Museveni, the dictatorial and kleptocratic leader of Uganda."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Harvard men's hockey team played two dominant periods after falling behind by three goals in the first, but Cornell hung on to defeat the Crimson, 4-2, in front of a boisterous sellout crowd of 3,076 Friday night at Bright Hockey Center.
Marshall Everson and Alex Fallstrom scored power-play goals to rally Harvard (0-2-1, 0-2-1 ECAC Hockey, 0-2-0 Ivy League) to within one goal before the Big Red (2-2-0, 2-1-0, 2-1-0) sealed the win by scoring late in the third period. Danny Biega and Luke Greiner assisted on each Harvard goal.
Cornell took advantage of Harvard penalties to jump out to a 3-0 first-period lead. The Crimson got off to a good start but Cole Bardreau put the Big Red on top barely five minutes into the game.
Following a big, legal hit by David Valek, the Crimson was hit with a major penalty and game misconduct for grabbing a Cornell facemask in the scrum. Another Harvard penalty soon followed, and Nick D'Agostino scored once with a two-man advantage and once while one man up.
Despite playing without top goal-scorer Alex Killorn, the Crimson turned the tide in the final two frames. Harvard held Cornell to four shots in each period after the Big Red logged 18 first-period shots. The Crimson finished 2 for 6 on power plays, while the Big Red was 2 for 4. Andy Iles made 18 saves in the win. Harvard's Raphael Girard stopped 15 shots in the first period, and Steve Michalek made seven saves over the final two.
Everson got Harvard rolling at 6:16 of the second period. Greiner passed out of the right corner to Biega at the point, and Everson redirected the defenseman's long shot past Iles. Fallstrom was later robbed from the low slot on a glove save by Iles but trimmed the Big Red lead to one goal 11 seconds before the period ended, banging in the rebound after another pass from Greiner and point shot from Biega.
Harvard held a 10-4 edge in shots in the second period and a 7-4 advantage in the third but could not break through for the tying goal. Iles made a key save on Fallstrom coming down the left side. He later stopped Colin Blackwell after the freshman made a nifty move around a defender. After that stop, Cornell's Brian Ferlin took the puck back the other way and centered to John Esposito for the clinching goal.

The core of the 1970/71 "Don't Make A Wave Committee", which later formed Greenpeace (from right): Irving Stowe, a lawyer, Paul Cote, a law student, and Jim Bohlen, a forestry scientist. Stowe and Bohlen were long-standing peace activists. Bohlen, a world war veteran, had once worked for the US arms programme; Stowe, a Quaker, brought the idea of bearing witness into the organization. Stowe died in 1974.
