KOffice Meets the Users
Are you using KOffice? What are you using KOffice for? Why did you decide to use KOffice? What are your main problems? We want to know who uses KOffice and we are especially interested in companies and people using KOffice applications in the course of their business. We have done usability testing with OpenUsability on some of the KOffice programs and will be working more with them. Now we want to reach our users directly and ask them what they think.
The KOffice hackers have been working on KOffice for quite a few years now and we've received quite a lot of great and useful feedback from users. KOffice is picking up a lot of momentum now and in the run-on towards the 1.5 release we would like to get to know our users a lot better.
So... Are you using KOffice? What are you using KOffice for? Why did you decide to use KOffice? What are your main problems? Please not too many comments about reading MS Office files and the difficulties of loading large files, we are continuing to work hard on these areas.
As we wrote above, we want to know who uses KOffice right now. We are especially interested in companies and people using KOffice applications in the course of their business. If you are using KOffice and want to help us, please leave a comment below or contact our marketing guy Inge Wallin ([email protected]) and give him your story.
The main problem
is that KOffice is still alpha quality software. Even the most stable of its programs, KWord, sometimes corrupts files unrecoverably. Specifically I've seen paste and undo do that. Happens to unreproducible, too, so no, I did not file bug reports. And then you go looking for your backup copy and discover that the autosave feature you set to autosave every five minutes saved exactly nothing. Still I'm sticking with KOffice, don't want anything with Java dependencies on my system.

OpenOffice2 in debian sid main branch now!
If you're using Debian Sid or fedora (and I guess probably other distroz), you can safely use openoffice.org2 because they managed to compile it with GCJ and classpath. So yes it does use code written in Java but it doesn't run using any proprietary code from Sun or anything else.
By patcito at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
OOo2.0 doesn't actually need Java for the basics. I installed Writer, Calc and Impress, and I am not hearing any complaints about that.
By Morten Juhl Johansen at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: The main problem
Obviously bugs are easiest to fix when they are reproduceable, but if you cannot reproduce them, it is still worth posting bug reports with the backtraces (assuming you have them).
By Robert Knight at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: The main problem
backtraces are only for crashes...
I basically agree with grandparent. Krita looks like its going to be great stuff, but I always run into little problems. I loath Gimp and Krita seems to have quite active development so I'm defintedly going to be following it.
A couple of years ago, I was working on a KOffice presentation and it became totally messed up in regards to its fonts I couldn't figure out how to fix it. That was enough to make me never want to use it again.
By Ian Monroe at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: The main problem
Please, if you run into those little problems again, either file a bug report (if it's reproducable) or contact me, either on #koffice, or by mail (which I prefer). I can only fix stuff if I know it's broken, and actually, hacking on Krita takes so much time that I hardly have a chance to actually use my application :-). It helps if you can compile & install the svn trunk version, though.
By Boudewijn Rempt at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: The main problem
Actually, I feel that KWord has become much more stable recently - I have not had any crashes this time around.
By Morten Juhl Johansen at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Autosave path
Last time I checked the autosave path wasn't set by default, the path field was emphty. This means that the autosaving wasn't done (AFAIK), I don't know if this is fixed already because I set it manually and updated after that.
Also I think kword is a bit unstable. This can be very annoying if you are typing a big document without saving sometimes. :)
For the rest I really like koffice! thanks!
By David at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Home Use
I use KOffice at home. Given the choice between OpenOffice, MS Office via Wine, and KOffice, I chose KOffice for the following reasons:
- KOffice integrates best with my desktop (visual fit, file management, printing). This is important to me, so I give it a lot of weight
Shortcomings I've found (that haven't been fixed) are:
Hope that helps. I also don't like the K-naming thing, but that's another issue ;)
By ac at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Home Use
"KOffice is the most responsive suite on slower systems". Thats the great advantage of KOffice. For the next MS Office/Windows yu´ll need a DirextX9 graphic card - who wants such a heavy graphic card to make office work?
And people who want a big system can run OpenOffice. For Home Use and small buissiness issues we don´t need a bloated system. Espacially at KOffice, ´cause there a just to few developers to fix all the bugs. I want for me a KOffice that don´t come with more and more features till it´s so big as OpenOffice, i want a stable program suite with that a can do my daily issues. All that KOffice needs for it, is to be with less bugs. And so long one feature after the other get added to KOffice there is no change to get rid of the bugs.
By Nattydraddy at Sun, 2005/11/06 - 6:00am
for me, it's the interface
The default look of the interface is horrible in my view. With KDE, much can be done to kKOffice to look beautiful.
The typing area does not cover the entire window and the color used for the un editable area is so dull! This diverges from the "normal" applications MS-Wors StarOffice and WordPerfect! So, to users KDE looks strange. This does not help at all.
Then we have the toolbars. Why won't the developeres merge those toolbars. Any attempt by a user to customize them might lead to a crash. In the end, may of those short tool bars waste screen real estate.
My 2 cents.
By charles at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
what i like and don't like
i only use kword (and, now and then, karbon).
I like the fact its small and fast, and works good with kde.
but the table support sucks, and fonts (esp kerning sucks) are hard to get looking well. looks great under suse 10.0, tough.
well, and for my girlfriend, .doc support is the most important point...
anyway, for me, if you guys can fix table support in kword (even if it takes until KDE 4 :D) i'll be a happy user. i'll use it anyway, by the way. i don't make tables very often :D
By superstoned at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: what i like and don't like
> well, and for my girlfriend, .doc support is the most important point...
Hmmm, never tried that with the wife... ;-)
Seriously, now, I work in a Windows environment. .doc support is paramount.
I had some trouble to install Koffice on Mandriva 10.1 community version, but didn't get much time to work with it, as all my documents are sent to Windows-only users. Oo.o is a nobrainer, therefore.
But I will install Koffice at home, since it's oh so less bloated than Oo.o...
Now, tables are extremely important. Even my resumé is in table form. Many, many, many forms rely on correct table manipulation...

Printing issue
While I agree that KOffice does not yet warrent a version number >= 1.0, the most serious problem remains the fact that KWord will not print proportional spaced fonts correctly. Printing in other apps has the same problem but it is not as serious there.
I do use KWord and Karbon for specific functionality that other apps don't have. KWord will open PDF files and Karbon will open SVG files that other OS apps won't open or won't display correctly as well as convert EPS to SVG.
I also do not like the startup dialog that demands that I choose a document format and has a bunch of irrelevant choices. If implemented better, this might be OK, but I just turn it off. I don't agree with the idea that an application must always have a document open. It can cause problems if you have a document open and you have not given it a name yet.
By James Richard Tyrer at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
startup dialog (was Re: Printing issue)
I agree with your sentiment on the startup dialog. What I like about koffice is that it is lightweight and fast, but the startup dialog gets in the way if you just want to open a document quickly. Why not open a plain document with reasonable default settings if no document to open is given?
By ac at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: startup dialog (was Re: Printing issue)
I also think that the startup dialog only gets in the way. At least in my admittedly outdated KWord 1.2 the default action is "cancel", so just pressing return after the startup dialog appears simply quits KWord again.
By ac at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: startup dialog (was Re: Printing issue)
So, select a blank A4 documet and check 'allways use this template' (that may not be the exact text), and you have what you ask for ;)
By Anders at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: startup dialog (was Re: Printing issue)
Yes, that is what I meant by turning it off.
By James Richard Tyrer at Sun, 2005/11/06 - 6:00am
Re: Printing issue
I agree on the printing problem - it makes KWord unusable for me.
By thomas at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: Printing issue
I totally agree. I would *love* to be able to use KOffice, but the character-spacing problem makes any document look like shit.
I always have my Gentoo system up-to-date, and every time a new KOffice version is released, I emerge it immediately, hoping that the problem has been fixed. Unfortunately, it is still there...
By Meneer Dik at Sun, 2005/11/06 - 6:00am
Kpresenter Kword
Kpresenter and Kword are my most used applications. Kpresenter is a nice, lightweight and useful presentation application. It exports to html extremely well and can accept many different image types. It scales images quickly and effectively. I do wish it would default to lock the aspect ratio when dragging the corner of an image to change the scale. It would also be great if Kpresenter understood image transparency.
I also use Kword exclusively for my word processing application. It does exactly what I need quickly and well. Printing is sometimes an issue. I have no idea if it's the printer or the application. I usually print to PDF first, then send that document to the printer. Always looks great this way.
So, I don't have many complaints with the application's usability or performance. Just a "great work so far!"

Kpart is what interest me in KOffice
What I like about KOffice is Kpart. This technoloy has the potential to do similar thing that Apple's OpenDoc technology did. (I believe this was eventualy made open source when IBM and Novell joined in). If this happens with KDE/KOffice then working would more intuitive and natural - a bit like pen and paper. This would definately be the case with tablet/handheld computer. Incidently artificial intelligents (agent software) would take KDE applications closer to this goal. This would mean applications like KWord would need to support irregular frame. Have a look at the Newton OS to see what I mean.
That how became I interested in the KDE GUI and KOffice. My favoueite KOffice component at the moment is Krita.
Rock on.
By Michael Wright at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Kpart is what interest me in KOffice
KPart itself is part of KDE. (Konqueror is *the* tool for KParts.)
However KOffice improves KPart for its needs. (That is why you cannot use a non-KOffice KPart in KOffice.)
Have a nice day!
By Nicolas Goutte at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Kpart is what interest me in KOffice
any change this can be fixed for KDE 4? (eg add the changes to KDElibs for 4)
By superstoned at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Kpart is what interest me in KOffice
I do not know the plan of KOffice for KDE4.
However I am not sure if adding the features to kdelibs would solve everything. Probably each KPart will more or less always need to be adapted for KOffice. (But perhaps it could be made easier and could therefore interest parts of KDE that are normally not interested in having a dependency to KOffice.)
Have a nice day!

Re: Kpart is what interest me in KOffice
By Anonymous at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: Kpart is what interest me in KOffice
The improvment KOffice makes to KPart should move into the main KDE environment. That should over come any problem of not being able to use non-KOffice KPart in KOffice. Other applications that may benefit such improvement are Kontact, TaskJuggler and KDissert. There bound to be other applications too.
By Michael Wright at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Love KOffice
I think KWord is really stable. The only trouble I seem to have is importing Microsoft Word files. OpenOffice.org does it flawlessly, so I don't understand why there isn't a decent MS Word import filter. Other than that, I'm very happy with the whole suite. It's fast, light-weight, and perfectly integrated with KDE. So keep up the great work!
By Chris Evans at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Love KOffice
- because OOo has used a lot of work to create and maintain the MS Office import (and export) filters
Have a nice day!
By Nicolas Goutte at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Love KOffice
But once we all use Opendocument the method would be
- convert doc to Opendocument using a OO based conversion tool
- open the converted Opendocuemtn file with Kword
By Gerd at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
The only Koffice application I use regularly is KWord.
My experiences so far with KWord have been positive, but here are some things I would really appreciate:
Better handling of font spacing
By Riskable at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
I try to use Kword for grad school. I like the application's interface and speed. But, the kerning issues sometimes force me to cut and paste into OpenOffice and finish up there. If I could make the print-out look more professional, it would be my #1 choice. But, in the mean time I don' it when my professors say my term papers look weird.
By Andy at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
I wish I could use KOffice more, it is fast, functional and integrates well with my favorite desktop, KDE. I use KDE at work and home, as do a number of my co-workers. I tend to do most of my writing using Latex, so Kile is what I use the most, and it is great.
From KOffice, Kivio and KSpread are my most frequently used applications. KSpread works just great, though I wish Kivio was better. The stencils in Kivio often do not look as good as the icons representing them. The icons should default to using colour and there should be more icons. The Cisco networking icons should be blue and not black. And the printouts don't look quite right. I would like to use it more, but often avoid using diagrams just because I know the result will not represent the effort I expended creating the diagram.
Please don't see my comments as overly negative, I believe it is the best there currently is for KDE.

Kformula is frustrating
I haven't found any way to enter equations system ( "{" sign cant be stretched on multiple lines ) either intuitively nor in documentation
By nick at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Kformula is frustrating
Have you tried by putting a column vector after the {, it worked for me. By column vector I refer to that icon composed of several little squares one over another.
By marce at Mon, 2005/11/07 - 6:00am
KSpread date format
I use KWord sometimes to read .doc documents (well, I usually write in latex, so I do not write in it). And I would like to use kspread, however, I have one problem - I can not make it show date os only the day of week. I did not manage to specify custom format as well.
Another thing I would use is karbon, however, it crashes all around the place, so it seems as lost time for me and I found myself program called vrr.
But I must say, koffice is the fastest office suite that ever runed on my computer, counting even MS office 2000 on windows.
By Michal Vaner at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Like most people here I really appreciate the speed at which KOffice runs on my computer, especially compared with OpenOffice. The only reason I usually end up using Impress for my presentations its ability to easily include LaTeX equations using the OOoLatex macro (http://ooolatex.sourceforge.net). The key feature is that the LaTeX code is embedded in the formula object, so it can be easily edited at any time (in contrast to simple LaTeX -> Image converters like tex2im (http://www.nought.de/tex2im.html)).
Can this be done also in KPresenter or in other KOffice applications? One could also imagine a whole range of embedded objects where this would be useful, for example a graph created by a gnuplot script, which can be edited from within the office applications....

I use Kivio
Personally I really love KOffice. A round complete nice set of Office tools to get work done. Once when I was at university I had to draw a lot of computer science diagramms and as most others I was using DIA to try getting this kind of tasks done. But I quickly figured out how immature DIA was, how broken, instable, not reliable. Also the results wasn't really satisfying. Once I saved some stuff and then went over for dinner and after I came back I wanted to load the stuff and DIA has shown that it saved broken information. So I ditched it in favor to Kivio and the stuff worked out of the box with the provided stencils. Kivio was stable, reminded me of Visio, looked, felt and worked the same way like Visio and the results was quite impressive also. I have one big wish, I would really like to see TaskJuggler inside KOffice and have the default one removed in favor to TaskJuggler. Also again when I first hit a projects management software I came across Mr.Project (later renamed to Planner) but it was a toy more or less, didn't offered a quarter of the features that MS.Project offered. But then I was shown TaskJuggler and felt in love it was the most impressive implementation of a great projects management software seen for open source. I think that Koffice does it right, the entire KDE desktop plattform does it right and thats why I love it.
Thanks to all developers who made Koffice and KDE possible. A great desktop, easy, simple and consistent. A desktop to get serious business work done.
By A.A. at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: I use Kivio
Kivio is great, but it does need some polish. Printing and stencils are two key areas.
There is already a project management system being developed as part of KOffice. It is called KPlato. It is not currently usable which is why it hasn't been included in KOffice and its development appears to be relatively stagnent.
By Fizz at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Is there a good tutorial how to use scripting in KOffice, preferably in Python?

By Nicolas Goutte at Fri, 2005/11/04 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
Ouch. That's not too exhaustive. Is there a way to run scripts or macros from within, say, KWord? Do you have to use KJSEmbed for that, or ist it possible to use other languages?
By ac at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
Well, there's http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=18638 which I created for precisely this reason. Provides a slightly more Pythonic abstraction around the DCOP interface so you can do some pretty decent scripty things, especially with KSpread.
By Cerulean at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
Thanks for the information, this looks really promising. Is the development still going on? It seems like the last changes were quite a while ago.
By ac at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
It covered most of the useful things present in the DCOP interface at the time - then there wasn't much to do but wait for more features. I may have a look at the applications and see if there is anything new available soon.
By Cerulean at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
This sounds so promising, it really deserves more publicity. Is there any chance that it will be included in the regular KOffice release?
By ac at Sat, 2005/11/05 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
Did you contact us -- that is, the KOffice developers? I know I could use some help with creating DCOP interfaces! And I think this is very useful stuff. You obviously know more than I do about dcop.
By Boudewijn Rempt at Sun, 2005/11/06 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
I asked for a couple of features and bugfixes in #koffice @ irc.kde.org and they were promptly added/fixed. Haven't really discussed taking it further - didn't seem like there were many people using it :P
By Cerulean at Mon, 2005/11/07 - 6:00am
Re: Scripting
Perhaps more people would use it if we were to package it with KOffice? If you can help me extend Krita's dcop interfaces and provide such a nice python lib for Krita, I'd certainly want to include it in the release.

Grilling tips make your barbecue great
Get cooking this summer
Summertime, and the grilling is easy. At least it will be if you take a few small steps to get ready and pick the right recipes!
Whether you're a backyard impresario with a complete outdoor kitchen or an occasional griller who cleans the spiders out of the Weber once a month, you'll want to get cooking now that summer's upon us.
What Grill?
If you're buying a new (or your first) grill, the first thing you'll need to decide is which kind, gas or charcoal. Gas has the advantage of being almost instantly ready to cook, however if you want to get any kind of smoke flavoring either from short-term or long-term cooking, you'll be by and large out of luck. One of the byproducts of natural gas burning is water vapor, which will inhibit the penetration of the smoke.
While charcoal takes longer to get ready, there's just no matching the flavor of meat cooked over briquets. For a really great cookout, especially for items that like a bit of searing like burgers and steaks, get some "natural chunk" charcoal, which burns hotter and lights faster. It will cost a bit more, but for certain uses, it's worth it.
Keep It Clean!
One of the best things about a grill is that it doesn't have to be as squeaky-clean as your indoor cooking tools. In fact, most hardcore grillers will tell you that a layer of smoke residue on the inside of the grill actually makes the food taste better. However, to avoid having your grill session end with a trip to the emergency room, there are some basic cleanliness and sanitation rules to keep in mind.
While your grill doesn't have to be shiny clean before use, you do need to make sure there are no pieces of your previous cooking session stuck to it. Prepare metal grills by heating them over the coals, then hitting them with a wire brush to get all the stickies off. Every couple of uses, go over the grill with a grill brick, an abrasive block that will give it a more thorough cleaning.
Stay Safe
Food handling is where most outdoor cookers go awry, playing fast and loose with such potentially deadly issues as cross-contamination and temperature control.
How often have you carried your meat out to the grill and cooked it, only to put it back on the same tray or plate you used to carry it out? I remember my father would wave his meat tray over the coals, saying that the heat would kill off all the bacteria. The problem there was that if the tray had gotten hot enough, he wouldn't have been able to hold it.
I use two baking sheets, one nested inside the other. Take the meat off to the grill, and set the dirty tray aside.
Failure to wash meaty or chicken-covered hands is another great way to end your cookout with a trip the the hospital. Either wear nonporous gloves when handling your meat or wash them after touching any raw stuff.
Know Your Heat
While most grilled meats can take a good searing, especially if you like your beef rare or medium-rare, larger cuts require more careful cooking. If you're cooking a pork loin, large chicken breast or other large hunk of meat, you'll need to either lower the heat on your gas grill or use indirect heat on your charcoal rig.
Indirect heat, as the name would indicate, involves stacking your charcoal either on one side of the grill or on each end and cooking your food over the open space. It lets you slow the cooking process while still getting that great grilled flavor.
Watch The Sugar
If you're going to use barbecue sauce, especially a commercially prepared one, you'll want to keep that indirect heat method in mind. Commercial sauces are almost all loaded with sugar of some type, and sugar burns very readily over direct heat. It's quite possible to have a piece of meat that's done perfectly in the middle but looks like the briquets that cooked it on the outside.
Use your sauce late in the cooking process, when the food is almost done, and be sure to keep sauced meat away from flare-ups or high heat.
Choose Your Signature Piece
So now you're ready to go, but what should you cook?
Pork is one of the most popular grill candidates, and the recipe below will help pull off that most prized of cooking tricks: making your guests think you're a far more talented cook than you actually are.
Pork Chops With Bacon/Gouda Stuffing
4 pork chops, cut 1 ½ to 2 inches thick 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled 4 ounces smoked Gouda 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley In each chop, use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to cut a pocket as deep as you can without piercing all the way through. If you use bone-in chops, this is easy, since the bone will stop the blade. If you use boneless chops, you'll have to be careful.
Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl, tossing thoroughly. Stuff each chop with the mixture and close the pocket with toothpicks. If you're feeling especially artful, sew up the pocket with butcher's twine.
Season the outside of the chops with your choice of spices. I like Penzey's Pork Chop Seasoning or Cowboy Trail Dust from TexMexToGo.com. The old standby of kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper works well, too.
Set up your grill for indirect cooking. If you use charcoal, push it to one side, leaving an area where the chops can cook without direct heat underneath. If you use gas, leave one set of burners off to achieve the same effect. Cook the chops, alternating between searing over direct heat and cooking indirectly, until done.
Let the chops sit for at least 15 minutes, lightly covered with foil, before slicing. And don't forget: What works for pork will quite often work for chicken, too. This stuffing is outstanding inside a boneless chicken breast.

Police said the accused was arrested and confessed killing his 32-year-old daughter, a mother of one.
A blood-stained axe he was believed to have used to kill her, was also found, reported Dawn.com.
Shagufta had a young son and had divorced about three years ago.
Police quoted the younger sister as saying 'My father tied her to a tree in the jungle near our house and swung the axe at her neck, killing her instantly.'
The victim's brother, Fiaz Ali, said in a police statement that his father was angered after a lady that Shagufta worked for as a maid, offered her a position in a beauty salon.
The younger sister said that Shagufta was beaten by her father the night before her death when she announced her intention to join the salon.

Sox Philosophy Dilemma...
In another thread Shingo asked the question (paraphrasing) what is the Sox philosophy?
Thats a great question and one that has been discussed here at the site in the past, but with a new G.M. perhaps its time to revisit the point to see what everyone thinks.
Double had a post where he basically said (again paraphrasing) the Sox are in a Twilight Zone where they usually get around 85 wins good enough to tell the fans were contending but in reality not good enough to win the division (usually) or grab a wild card
Hes exactly right as history shows (to say nothing of history showing conclusively the Sox are usually worse in the second half of the season which doesnt help matters )
The question though is what do they do about it? How do they break this cycle even if they want to??
To me you can look at two approaches but with the Sox under current ownership both have serious drawbacks.
First you can say youre all in (had to use it gang ) and spend 150 million or so like the Dodgers, Angels, Rangers, Yankees, Tigers and Red Sox have done. It enables you to overcome injuries, buy yourself depth, overcome bad trades, slumps by a player and so on.
The Sox have spent in the past but always within reasonable limitations. Even when they spent 130 million on payroll, the all time high, the club had shortcomings. You have to spend the money wisely which many think the Sox havent even when theyve decided to stretch things. And the fact is they either cannot or wont (depends on who you talk to) spend that kind of cash needed to buy a club like the Tigers have on a regular basis.
The other option is to rebuild and I suspect some in the organization think its time (had to use it gang ) to try this approach.
The problem is though if the Sox were to do this and publicly announce it (or not announce it but act accordingly), I suspect the fan base that they have would be up in arms, simply not show up to support a loser (which has been the case throughout history) and U.S. Cellular Field would be a ghost town. Theyd lose money even if they had a small payroll and would lose whatever relevance they have in the market. Sox fans are not Cub fans.
Its just a bad situation isnt it? I cant tell you what the right approach is or how to solve this quandary. I wish I had the answer, believe me, I would have given it to the Sox long time ago.
Maybe part of the answer is simply that its time for new ownership, perhaps with different financial considerations and new people in the front office, from the G.M. to marketing and advertising to media relations, scouting and minor league development the entire package. Fresh minds, fresh ideas. Thats about all I can come up with.
Again the Sox appear to be between a rock and a hard place and it doesnt look like they are going to get out of it anytime soon.
Part of the problem is except for some pitchers we have a horrible track record in developing good solid ready for the Major League players. I don't know who is to blame for our philosophy in the minors. What are we teaching these kids. We bring up kids that can't make contact, have no idea of the strike zone and swing for the fences. I wonder if USCF being a launching pad has something to do with the hitters mindsets once they reach the big leagues. Look at Beckham, his first year he was driving the ball in the gap in right center for a lot of doubles, when is the last time we have seen do that, he tries to pull everything over the left field wall. PK is about the only player on the team that goes with the pitch.

The Sox have won the WS relatively recently. The Giants have won a couple without a mega payroll. I don't think winning 85 every year is baseball hell. This isn't the NBA. Baseball hell is Pittsburgh,KC, the Cubs.........the Sox are going to need a lot of breaks to win it all, but so does just about every team. Are playoff appearances without a title good enough? I would venure to guess if the Sox were like Detroit and made the playoffs 2 or 3 years in a row and didn't win, it would be referred to as a total fail.
The Sox haven't made the playoffs enough. i would be the first to tell you that, but their philosophy to me seems to be have a top 10-12 payroll and try to put the team they think will be able to win the most games in uniform.
They have expanded their presence in the DR, but that will take several years before any results are seen in Chicago. They picked up Sale in the draft, that seems like a good pick. A lot of people seem to be excited about Hawkins. The system seems to be better than it has been in years.
I think they spend enough money on the major league roster to win. It might not be spent wisely enough to win.
I suspect that's part of it (i.e. launching pad) and that this is also part of the Sox philosophy (i.e. home run or nothing...)
Daver knows about as much about the minor league system as anyone and he has said in the past another issue is the Sox (unlike say the Twins) move players from team to team, from level to level based strickly on hitting. And they'll move guys up to multiple levels in a single year to boot. Daver says things like knowing the strike zone, fielding, fundamentals are being ignored simply because a guy 'can hit.' And if I've misquoted Daver he can clarify his thoughts if he wishes.
Also remember the Sox have had by my count three different scouting directors in the past 10 years and probably three different minor league directors. Continuity doesn't seem to be a strong point in this regard for the organization.
Doublem23 made an additional point that I thought was interesting when he referenced the "85-win purgatory" that the White Sox seem locked into. He talked about how young teams opting to rebuild often feature a group of young players who, in spite of their struggles upon reaching the Major League level, are given ample time to mature as a group, eventually forming a core of solid veteran players that remain competitive for the balance of their careers. I mentioned the example of the Braves in another post. I'd also submit that the New York Yankees' early teams under Joe Torre featured a similar group.
(Their spending didn't increase until the bidding war for Jason Giambi prior to the 2002 season. For anyone who hasn't done so, I would encourage you to read Joe Torre's book The Yankee Years. It's an outstanding read, and it discusses the shift in the philosophy of the Yankees organization following the loss to the Diamondbacks in the 2001 World Series. Torre believes that that loss was what spurred Steinbrenner to spend such large amounts of money, as he couldn't accept being second best.)
The White Sox haven't had a "young core" for more than twenty years. Their most successful youth movement occurred during the early 1990s, when Frank Thomas, Robin Ventura, Jack McDowell, Wilson Alvarez, and Alex Fernandez were around. I would actually be interested to hear Robin's thoughts on that group, and if he believes that the Sox have a chance to assemble such a group in the near future. They have talent at the lowest levels of their farm system, but the upper levels are largely a barren wasteland. It will be some time before said talent comes to fruition, which is by no means guaranteed. And, as Lip pointed out, Sox fans aren't exactly the most patient group when it comes to allowing ownership dismantle this team. If the Sox decide to scrap the current roster and start over, how many fans will be left by the time the refit is complete?
I suspect most fans would be dancing in the streets if the Sox were to make the post season say three years in a row, even if they didn't win the series at all.
Considering this franchise is the only one of the original 16 pre expansion franchises to have never made the post season in consecutive years, that would be a significant accomplishment and I think the fans would regard it as such....and it would show things are turning around. Just my opinion.
As RK pointed out it's been a long time since the Sox had that type of young talent.
Remember though it took them four desolate years (86 to 89) to be in position to get those high draft picks AND they had a tremendous talent evaluator (Larry Himes) in charge.
I've got nothing against rebuilding, it's something I think the Sox have to seriously consider but drafting and scouting is not an exact science even with the finest minds doing it. Do the Sox even have those type minds running the show right now? If not, would they pay the price financially to get them??
If they did would JR stay out of the process (as has been reported off the record in the past...)? Would talent be the directing principal? Or would it be 'who is his agent?'
Like with everything else about this situation (unfortunately) there are no clear cut answers.
It has been a problem nearly every season that I have followed this team, save for the 2000 and 2005 seasons. The '02 and '03 teams had problems with consistency from their fourth and fifth starters, and the '04 team was devastated by injuries to its two best offensive players (Thomas and Ordonez), forcing Paul Konerko and Carlos Lee to be the primary run-producers for the team. Konerko grew into that role, and eventually succeeded Thomas as the team's best hitter, but Lee was too undisciplined for the role, and as he was traded to Milwaukee after the season, it's unclear if he would have progressed as Paul did in later seasons. In any case, the absence of the team's number three and four hitters was more than enough to knock the Sox out of first place, as it would likely be for any team (as the 2012 Phillies about that).
Ironically, the events of 2004 were the impetus for Williams trading Lee and allowing Ordonez to leave via free-agency, moves that ultimately paved the way for the team that won the World Series. It's impossible to know how the Sox would have fared had either or both remained with the team in 2005, but I find it hard to believe that either would have contributed to the extent that Jermaine Dye or Scott Podsednik did. None of the players I mentioned were young, but Williams' willingness to find players who approached the game differently had a tremendous impact on how the Sox played. Why he was never able to recapture that dynamic with future groups is something I don't understand, as it was clear that reliance on team baseball produced far better results than the "home run or die" approach of Jerry Manuel's teams.
I wouldn't mind a new ownership group to take over. Jerry isn't really the Marlins, but he's been raking in $30M profits the last 8-9 years and has also seen the ownerships initial investment of $20M grow to over $400M. Contrary to his statements, they're taking dividends each year on the investment. I guess I wouldn't really have a problem with taking something small each year, but you really shouldn't operate a professional sports team make huge profits on a year basis.
I know he's at the forefront of the latest movement to limit costs on unproven talent - i.e, the draft and international signings, but I really wish they would spend just a couple of bucks on minor league development, instead of operating the minor league operation on a shoestring.
The draft issue is at least partially fixed with the new cap rules, but there is still an onus on the Sox organization to pick the best players, and not the most signable ones, and really invest in how those players are developed.
I've railed year after year about the lack of investment in the big league team, but considering that the two years Jerry did that (2006 and 2010) didn't especially work out, I can understand why the Sox would be gunshy to splash the cash and threaten the profit margin. Also, they were a high bidder on Torii Hunter in 2008 and couldn't close the deal. Not sure if that's a plus or minus.
Also as far as new ownership goes, as a fan you really don't know what you're gonna get - and what you get could change over time. As an Astros fan, I initially loved Drayton McLane as an owner, but he turned into a meddler who wouldn't spend on prospects but would waste millions on a fading player like Miguel Tejada, and that turned me sour. Now the Astros are stuck with Crane who seems worse.
Jerry despite his pre-2000 faults has turned into a decent owner. Not perfect, or someone pushing the club forward like Arte Moreno of the Angels, but decent. What happens when Jerry sells or bequeaths the Sox is going to be the big story of the Sox in the next decade or two.
My hope for the near future of the Sox is that Rick Hahn as GM can make some moves to give us that talented dynamic young core that we've been lacking, both through player development (we have a very nice group of OFs in the minors) and trading for/signing top younger talent and trading away players who aren't getting it done for younger players with more upside that those we're trading.
Once the Konerko, Dunn, Rios and Peavy contracts are through, he'll have a ton of financial flexibility to work with to fill in gaps with good players, even if Jerry pares payroll back from where it is now (Our 4th or 5th highest ever by my count).
So I'm hopeful that the Sox will be better than they are now within 2-3 years given that the right moves are made, and I'm willing to sit through a few seasons around and below .500 if we get there.
Ironically it was Kenny who decided to change that 'team / small ball' philosophy when he traded Rowand for Thome (and that's not saying a thing against Jim the consumate professional)
For whatever it's worth when the new ownership took over in January 1981 one of the first things EE said was (paraphrasing) 'the way to win today is through free agency and trades, not the minor league system...'
I don't have an issue with that approach either but to do so you've got to spend big money for the top quality free agents which by and large the Sox haven't done.
So again we get back to what's the philosophy? They won't spend big dollars for the best free agents and they won't spend big dollars on the minor league system. The Sox spent the fewest dollars over the previous five seasons in MLB on signing money for newcomers to baseball.
Rock and a hard place again isn't it?
I don't believe that Rowand would have remained productive. He played well in Philadelphia, but was mediocre with the Giants, so dealing him when his value was at its peak was the right move. The Phillies were a logical trade partner because they needed to make room for Ryan Howard, who'd been stuck behind Thome at first base until 2005. Needless to say, that move worked out nicely for them, with Howard leading them to back-to-back World Series and helping them reach the postseason five consecutive seasons.
However, it's still puzzling that Williams so easily abandoned what worked so well, and even more confounding that he took no steps to assemble a similar roster at a later time. On the contrary, his solution to the Sox offensive woes revolved around the acquisitions of Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn. Junior was the best player in the game when he was at his best, but he was far, far removed from that pedestal by the time the Sox traded for him. As for Dunn, well, we've seen the results of his presence the past two seasons.

Kidney stones are small, solid masses that can build up in a person's urinary tract. They're hard, like little stones, but are actually crystals that form when salts and minerals in urine (pee) become extra-concentrated. Over a few weeks or months, these crystals can sometimes build up in the kidneys to become stones.
Kidney stones mostly happen to adults, though teens can get them.
Kidney stones range in size from a fraction of an inch to several inches. Very small stones (like those that are less than 1/4 inch or about 5 mm in size) usually can pass through the urinary tract and out of the body on their own with little or no pain. Larger stones can be quite painful, though. They may block the flow of urine and cause other urinary tract problems. Luckily, it's rare for kidney stones to do permanent damage, and doctors have lots of ways to treat them.
There are several kinds of kidney stones with many different causes. Because of this, doctors treat them based on what kind they are — and how big. Some people just need to drink a lot of water and take pain medicines to help a kidney stone pass out the body naturally. Others might need surgery or another medical procedure.
Our kidneys work a lot like a garbage collection and disposal system, removing extra fluids and waste products from the blood. These wastes leave the body as urine.
Urine contains things like calcium, phosphate, and uric acid. Usually, these substances are very diluted so they flow through the urine easily. But if urine becomes concentrated or something changes the level of a substance in the urine, crystals might form. The crystals can become lodged in kidney tissue and grow to become kidney stones.
There are four major kinds of kidney stones:
Most teens who get kidney stones have a health condition that increases their risk of developing them. Sometimes it's not clear what caused someone's kidney stones, but doctors can still treat them.
Some types of kidney stones run in families. If a relative has had kidney stones, you may be more likely to develop them at some point. People who have had kidney stones in the past have a higher chance of getting them again.
Here are some reasons why people develop kidney stones:
Usually, people with kidney stones won't notice them until the stones move around in the kidney or pass into the ureter. Small stones may move through the urinary tract and out of the body with no problems. Larger stones, though, can block the urinary tract and cause symptoms like these:
If a stone is too large to move, it might cause a blockage called hydronephrosis (hye-drow-nuh-FRO-sis). Hydronephrosis is when one of the kidneys swells from a backup of urine. Someone with hydronephrosis might feel side or back pain. Doctors can tell if someone has it through imaging tests (like X-rays, ultrasound, or CT scans). If it's not treated, it can lead to long-term kidney damage.
If you feel pain in your side, see blood in your urine, or have other symptoms of kidney stones, talk to your mom or dad and make an appointment to see a doctor as soon as possible. If you are in pain and also feel nauseated, throw up, have fever or chills, or have trouble peeing, go to an emergency clinic or hospital ER.
Your doctor will examine you and ask about the symptoms and how long you've had them. The doctor may also ask questions about your lifestyle, like what kinds of things you eat and drink. The doctor will also be interested in your family medical history, such as whether any relatives have had kidney stones or other diseases or conditions that affect the kidneys or urinary tract.
If the doctor thinks you have a kidney stone, you'll probably have blood, urine, or kidney function tests. You also might undergo imaging tests, which can show a stone's exact size and location. This information helps doctors provide the best treatment.
Small stones usually work their way out of the body without much treatment. Large stones may need to be treated with surgery or another procedure.
To help a small stone pass out of your body, the doctor will probably tell you to drink plenty of water. Doctors may prescribe medications for pain, but over-the-counter medicines (like ibuprofen and acetaminophen) are usually enough to ease any pain from small stones.
The doctor may ask you to pee through a strainer for a few days to collect kidney stones as they come out your body. Doctors send the stones to a lab for testing to find out which minerals make up the stones. Knowing this helps doctors decide the best way to treat them.
Sometimes kidney stones require a hospital stay. If stones block the urinary tract or cause severe pain or dehydration, patients need intravenous (IV) fluids and pain medications to stay hydrated and help the stone pass through the urinary tract.
Large stones don't usually pass out of the body on their own. Doctors need to break them up into smaller pieces or remove them in one of several ways:
It's not always possible to prevent some types of kidney stones. The best thing you can do is drink enough water to avoid dehydration. If your urine is almost clear, it's a sign that you're getting enough fluids. Another thing all teens can do is cut back on salt and salty foods.
If you've had kidney stones in the past, your doctor will want you to drink plenty of fluids — about 8 cups (66 ounces or 2000 mL) a day — and eat a low-sodium diet. Ask your doctor if you need to reduce the amount of animal protein (like meat or milk) that you consume. It can help to talk with a doctor or dietitian about the best foods for you.
Doctors will want to monitor people who have had kidney stones to prevent new ones from forming. So you may need to get a 24-hour urine collection test and blood tests. Depending on the type of kidney stone someone has had, doctors can prescribe treatments or medications to reduce the levels of crystal-forming substances in the urine.
Kidney stones aren't usually a worry for most teens, though it's always a good idea to eat healthy foods and drink enough to avoid dehydration (especially if you play sports).

|Guest Cast :
|Mister DeSeve defected to the Romulans nearly twenty years ago because he was so impressed by their single-mindedness. Yet in "The Neutral Zone", it is claimed that there has been no contact with the Romulans for fifty three years! What could DeSeve have found so impressively single minded about several decades of total silence?
|Great Moment :
|Troi finally getting something a little meaty to do!
|Body Count :
|N'Vek is killed by a disruptor blast, plus eighteen people on the freighter.
|Factoid :
|In the first version of this story it was Crusher who was aboard the Romulan ship rather than Troi, and her mission was to deliver the vessel itself into Federation hands. At one point it was considered having the escaping Romulans reveal that Spock had tried to escape and been killed, but it was decided that it was unfair to kill off such a major character offscreen.

Farm Family of SevenNext
I am a York County farmer with a wife and five children. To make a living for my family, we must sell milk, eggs, butter, potatoes, onions, and other garden vegetables in far away Williamsburg.
We will have to leave very early. Even on good days the trip takes two hours. Usually it takes longer. Fallen trees often block the roads, or the weather is bad, or the wheels on our cart break because the roads are bad. Sometimes, one of the children is sick and we cannot go at all.
But on good days, we can get to Williamsburg early...
...sell our produce, and make the money we need.
Then we can buy tools, salt, medicines, needles, cloth, or other things we need. And if mother's butter is fresh and delicate as usual. well then her regular customers might pay a little more, and we can buy a small treat.
What should I do once everything is sold? Should I buy a newspaper with the left-over money? I will have to read it out loud to the others, who cannot read. Or, should I buy some sugar and tea? What news might there be in town? Will my children enjoy their time in town, or will it be more hard work as usual.
What things do you think you would do with your family on market day? What choices would you make about purchasing food, clothing, and medicine for your family? Would you choose something for fun, too?

Here are some Elliott's Boots Celebration Stories from our Facebook Page:
~ Buy all my boots from Elliott's. Justin, Keen, Ariat. We also buy our boots for our operators. We shop at the Campbell station store your customer service is great. Thanks from all of us at P&L Underground. Oh by the way we love our Costa glasses too!
~ I just made my first purchase at Elliott's just a few days ago. Amazing customer service; I think every employee asked me how I was doing and offered to help me. I will for sure be a return customer!
~ I love all their shoes from sandals, flip flops, work boots and sneakers. They wear well and are incredibly comfortable. I buy me a few pair of Teva Flip Flops every summer and always get help in the store finding what I need.
~ Excellent customer service...and this is why I shop local.
~ The girl who helped me was SO sweet and helpful!! I badly needed boots for my job at a vet clinic and she helped me find the perfect pair! They were Keens and were a bit out of my price range but she helped me out with coupons and advice and got me a great discount. I am so happy with their service and selection.
~ The staff was WONDERFUL! They helped me figure out which pair of boots that I should buy for my special little someone. They called other companies and stores and helped me pick a great pair of boots at a great price. Many thanks!!!
~ The young man who helped me was awesome. Very patient and helpful. As always, Ariat boots never disappoint!! Also the Kavu bag was perfect for my daughter. Thanks so much for the extra coupon through the email. I see another pair of boots in the close future!!!
~ Absolutely a wonderful experience each and every time that I shop there!
~ My husband and I shopped at this location. I was having a lot of foot pain. All of the employees were friendly. Primarily, Amy waited on us. She recommended several brands of shoes. They had to order my size, but the 2 pairs were in about a week later. I bought the Chaco brand and Keen brand. My foot pain is almost totally gone now.
~ I think Elliott's in Morristown is very good. We are regular customers. We've had returns with no problems. Great staff, good product. We will be coming in very soon to buy more work boots. Bottom line..... Morristown Elliott's boots is a great store. 5 Star !!!
~ Great selection and customer service. I buy my steel toes for work there because they have a great selection of women's steel toe shoes. They have a knowledgeable staff who know the products. DEFINITELY check them out for chacos too!
~ Elliott's has went out of their way to get us boots for over 3 years now for our granddaughter. We really appreciate them!
~ This was the best experience I ever had getting a pair of boots bar none. GREAT place to deal with!!
~ If you need boots go here friendly staff and willing to work with you. The manager is great!
