After nearly six months of waiting, redrafting job ads and indecision, Colton High School decided that it was best to not mess with a good thing.
The Yellowjackets selected from within the Colton football family to replace Harold Strauss Thursday, as it hired longtime assistant coach Rick Bray. Bray, who has been an assistant at Colton for 21 of the past 25 years, including the entirety of Strauss' tenure, was approved at Thursday's Colton Unified School District school board meeting.
"I'm happy to finally get someone in here," Strauss said. "After five and a half months of waiting and redrafting, its finally good to have someone in here – especially someone who will make the tranisition as smooth as possible."
Except for four years as an assistant at San Gorgonio, Bray, 57, has been a Colton lifer. He has filled just about every possible assistant position that is available in high school football according to Strauss.
"He's been an offensive coordinator for me, a defensive coordinator, worked on special teams," Strauss said. "He's worked on the offensive line, defensive line – you name it, he's probably coached it at one time. He's just never had the opportunity to be the guy in charge until now."
Bray has been honored for his work at an assistant, winning the Gibbsdear Award for best assistant coach in the Southern Section. He wasn't sure if that would ever translate into a head-coaching job though.
"I kind of thought that I would just be an assistant forever," Bray said. "I really wasn't sure if this day would come. I'm just happy because we can continue to do what has been successful here and hopefully keep what coach Strauss had going."
The last five-plus months have been harrowing for Bray, who applied when the job was opened the first time shortly after Colton lost to Rancho Cucamonga in the CIF-SS Central Division quarterfinals. Bray stuck with the search even after the original job posting was taken down and revised.
"I feel like a 50-pound weight has been lifted from my back," Bray said. "I wanted this job really bad and I wasn't sure if it would happen. Now I'm wondering what I'm getting myself in to."
Bray will have his share of help. He indicated that the Colton players gave a hearty cheer when he announced that he was being hired for the job and will retain many of the coaches and schemes that has put Colony among the county's elite.
"Our philosophy will be the same as it was before," Bray said. "There may be a wrinkle here and there, but we want to keep as much continuity as possible."

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Smooth ride, but built like a rock.
GM has been the leader in full-size pickups for several years running, but is now facing assaults from all directions. Ford has introduced an all-new F-150. Dodge recently re-engineered the Ram. Toyota has introduced a Tundra crew cab model. And if that isn't enough, Nissan has the gall to launch the Titan, a full-size pickup that's every bit as big as the domestics, if not bigger. Model year 2004 is the year of the pickup. There's more going on with full-size pickup trucks this year than any in the history of the automobile.
Needless to say, the choice for best full-size pickup is no longer as clear as it was a two or three years ago when the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra were, in our opinion, the leaders. This is indeed good news because competition is good for the truck buyer.
That said, the Chevrolet Silverado (and the GMC Sierra) are still the best in terms of ride quality. Those who value a smooth-riding truck with a low load height should take a good hard look at a two-wheel-drive Silverado. And those who value style could do worse. Silverado's aggressive looks draw the eye. This truck is not the wallflower it was a couple of years ago.
Silverado got an edgy new look last year, along with significant interior improvements and an all-new electrical system designed to improve reliability by drastically reducing the number of wires running all over the place. It's all be streamlined.
New for 2004 is a roomy and comfortable 1500 Silverado Crew Cab in either 2WD or 4WD. (This is a half-ton model that should not be confused with last year's heavy-duty 1500 HD.) There's more standard equipment in base-level models for 2004, and there's more content in the Z71 off-road package.
Silverado rides, handles, and stops as well as the best of them. It's quick and it's comfortable. Boxed and hydroformed frame rails give the GM trucks a strong, rigid platform. It is, as Chevy says, like a rock. Quadrasteer, GM's heavy-duty four-wheel-steering system, is increasingly available for a wider range of models, improving maneuverability in tight quarters or when pulling a trailer. Heated seats, a Bose stereo, XM Satellite Radio and other options make long days spent in a Silverado more comfortable.
Like all full-size pickups, the Chevy Silverado is available in a vast array of configurations: two-wheel drive and four-wheel-drive; regular cabs, extended cabs, and crew cabs; short beds (6-1/2-foot) and long beds (8-foot). Three trim levels are available: base, LS, and LT, plus a sporty SS. Full-width Fleetside beds are standard, but retro Sportside beds are offered for selected models. Silverado is available in several load ranges, of course, but this review focuses on the 1500 series. The 1500 series offers actual payload ratings ranging from 1475 to 2123 pounds. Silverado 1500 models are available with a 4.3-liter V6, 4.8-liter V8, or 5.3-liter V8.
The 2004 Silverado comes with more standard features than last year, including cruise control, power door locks, black bodyside moldings, chrome bumpers, uplevel wheels, and an AM/FM radio with CD player. New tire choices are available as well. The Work Truck package, which deletes some trim items for a credit of $200-800, is now available on all Silverado 1500 models.
A light-duty 1500 Crew Cab, powered by the 5.3-liter V8, and more comparable in its payload rating for Ford's F-150 SuperCrew, is being introduced as a mid-2004 model. (Last year's 1500 HD model, with its 3094-pound payload, six-passenger Crew Cab, and 300-horsepower, 6.0-liter V8 has been redesignated a 2500-series model for 2004.)
The Z71 off-road package has been upgraded for 2004, and now includes cruise control; a high capacity air cleaner; rear defogger; power door locks; carpeting; remote keyless entry; rearview mirror; AM/FM stereo with CD and cassette player; leather-wrapped steering wheel; power windows; fog lamps; color-keyed grille; and deep-tinted glass.
Silverado SS is a high-performance model equipped with a high-output 345 horsepower Vortec 6000 engine designed for exhilarating off-the-line acceleration and relaxed cruising. SS gets a high-performance Z60 chassis package; 20-inch wheels and tires; full-time all-wheel drive; a lower, wider stance; and special exterior and interior trim.
Silverado options include XM Satellite Radio, which provides CD-quality broadcast of 100 digital channels coast to coast, and a Bose sound system. Crew Cab models offer a Panasonic DVD Passenger Entertainment System and rear-seat audio controls. OnStar is also available, which puts a human being at your assistance at the press of a button any time of day. OnStar operators can unlock your doors remotely and the system automatically calls for assistance if the airbags deploy.
Safety features on all models include dual-level frontal air bags, which are designed to provide an appropriate amount of inflation based on the severity of the crash. A passenger-sensing system automatically deactivates the passenger-side front air bag under certain conditions to protect children. Active safety features include four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) on all models. Auto4WD improves traction and stability of four-wheel-drive models on slippery roads.
Chevrolet Silverado shares its bold design cues with the newest Chevy trucks, from the innovative Avalanche to the TrailBlazer SUV to the all-new Colorado pickup. The Silverado suddenly looks far more conteporary than the Suburban or Tahoe.
When looking at the Silverado your eyes are immediately drawn to the headlights, which angle down at the top. They look like the determined eyebrows of a Marine drill sergeant saying, 'Get out of the way, private, I've got work to do.' A large band runs across the middle of the grille punctuated in the middle by a big, gold Chevy bow tie. All of this is smoothly integrated into the front end, including the fog lamps and recessed tow hooks. Add the powerful hood and the Silverado presents an appearance that's almost menacing. Squared-off wheel openings continue the aggressive theme down the sides of the truck. In the rear are bulging taillamps that maintain the Chevrolet family look yet uniquely identify the Silverado. Quadrasteer (four-wheel steering) models are distinguished by bulging rear fenders.
Silverado's door openings are large, making getting in and out easier, and the door handles are big and easy to grab. Extended cabs come standard with four doors, though the rear doors only open about 90 degrees. Optional puddle lamps mounted beneath the big side mirrors light the ground along the sides of the truck, handy in the woods and in the city. Mirrors are also available with redundant turn signal indicators, warning drivers alongside or in your blind spot, that you are moving over. Heavy-duty models have running lights on the roof, tailgate, and leading and trailing edges of bulging rear fenders. They add visibility for improved safety. Plus, they look neat.
Silverado's bed features built-in tie-down brackets near the four corners. Indentations stamped into the inner bed walls can hold boards to form bulkhead dividers or a second floor for two-tier loading. The Silverado's load floor is 31.6 inches above the ground on 2WD models, 33.7 on 4WD. That's relatively low, and low is good when loading heavy cargo. Short-box beds are 78.7 inches long; long boxes are 97.6 inches long. Fleetside boxes are 64.8 inches wide (at the floor); Sportside boxes measure 49.1 inches wide. All measure 50 inches wide between the wheel housings.
A PRO-TEC composite box is available for Silverado 1500 Extended Cab Short Box models. PRO-TEC is a nearly indestructible material that's lighter and stronger than steel. It never rusts and it resists dents. PRO-TEC tailgates can support a lot more weight than steel tailgates.
Inside, the Silverado is roomy and comfortable. The standard front bench seat is comfortable and can seat three, giving extended cab and crew cab models capacity for six people. It's split 40/20/40, and the middle part of the bench folds down to become a center console armrest. There's lots of head room and plenty of leg room, hip room, and shoulder room. The standard bench is available in cloth or vinyl. Bucket seats are more comfortable and adjust every which way. We like both the premium cloth and the leather. The Silverado's seats are big and cushy, but not as comfortable as those in the Ram and F-150.
The bucket seats are separated by a deep center console that holds lots of stuff. The top of the lid features a nice rubber-lined indention handy for small items, though it would be even better if the rubber was an insert that could be removed for cleaning. The top of the console is angled forward, which seems unfortunate because clipboards and other items placed tend to slide off. A big coat hook makes picking up the dry cleaning easier.
The instrument panel, redesigned for 2003, features a large speedometer and tachometer. Smaller gauges to the right display oil pressure, water temperature, fuel quantity, and battery charge. HD models with the Heavy-Duty Trailering Package come with a transmission temperature gauge on the left. All use highly legible white-on-black graphics. Headlamps and taillamps turn on automatically when it gets dark. A Driver Information Center, located in the instrument panel cluster, provides various bits of information, including an available engine-hour meter.
Dual-zone climate controls are standard. The manually controlled system that comes on base models is a good, straightforward design. Manual sliders are used to adjust the temperature The available electronic climate controls are better, featuring two large knobs for driver and passenger. A large LED displays the mode and fan settings. It's a well-engineered system that's sophisticated yet easy to operate.
The stereo systems feature digital controls with large knobs for volume and tuning. It's a good setup, more attractive and more sophisticated than pre-2003 systems, but just as easy to use. XM Satellite Radio is a great addition for people who want minimal blab interrupting their music, or who like to listen to 24-hour news or sports channels like Fox News or ESPN. Satellite radio also means you can drive across the U.S. without ever having to switch from your favorite stations.
The back seat in Extended Cab models offers more room and comfort than expected. We wouldn't want to ride across the state back there, but three adults can fit in reasonable comfort. The rear-seat bottom folds up to provide space for cargo, but it's still in the way when trying to carry a lot of stuff and the floor is not flat. The entire rear seat assembly can be removed with a wrench and lifted out through the door when cargo capacity is more important than passenger space.
The new 1500 Crew Cab offers roomy rear seats and additional interior cargo space. The back seats in Crew Cab models are very comfortable, similar to the rear seats in a Suburban or Tahoe. The rear seats can be flipped down, like those in a Suburban, to provide a big, secure cargo area.
Driving Impression
The Chevrolet Silverado remains one of the best-driving full-size pickups, even with the new competition. The Silverado feels tight and quiet. There's little road noise or wind noise.
Those are benefits of its stiff frame, which minimizes noise and vibration from the running gear. The rigid chassis allows the suspension to soak up and manage bumps and ruts and tar strips. The cab is stiffened by a magnesium beam behind the instrument panel and a lateral steel beam between the magnesium beam and the right side of the dash. This additional stiffening is designed to eliminate squeaks and rattles, and we haven't heard any.
The Chevy Silverado rides more smoothly than the Dodge Ram and Ford F-150. We drove a Silverado 1500 2WD LS Extended Cab that rode very smoothly. Its long, 143-inch wheelbase contributed to the ride (and enhanced high-speed stability). Models with Quadrasteer seem to have a rougher ride, however. At low speeds, a Silverado 1500 LT with Quadrasteer we tested tended to bounce annoyingly over a succession of dips. Could it be that the stouter rear end that comes with Quadrasteer causes a rougher ride? Silverado 2500 models ride rougher than 1500 models, but offer a bigger towing capacity (10,700 pounds).
The Silverado handles well on dry pavement, loose dirt, deep dirt, and off road. It tracks straight at speed on dry pavement and it's stable on wet pavement. It holds its line when the rear wheels spin under acceleration, even when coming out of a low-speed turn. Steering is responsive and offers the right amount of feedback. We find the Silverado more responsive to steering than the Dodge Ram; the Silverado has better on-center feel (less slop in the center). There is a dead spot in the center when cruising, however, which Chevrolet says is designed to minimize steering corrections on the highway. Rack-and-pinion steering is used on Silverado 1500 4x2s. Four-wheel-drive and heavy-duty models use recirculating-ball steering.
Quadrasteer is no gimmick. It enhances low-speed maneuverability, and is a must-have for owners who tow, though it's available only on selected models (1500 Extended Cab short-box and 2500 Crew Cab models, the last time we checked). The Silverado is a full-size truck in a compact world and Quadrasteer helps address that fact. Four-wheel steering helps when maneuvering through crowded parking lots and public garages. With Quadrasteer, you can make a U-turn in places that previously required backing up. A Silverado that requires 47.3 feet to turn around in, needs just 37.4 feet with Quadrasteer. That's 10 feet, a huge difference. Where turning around on a narrow street takes five steps in a standard pickup, it's only three steps with Quadrasteer. Changing direction is quicker, less annoying.
While Quadrasteer helps around town, it is truly a must-have feature when towing trailers. Quadrasteer can make you look like trailering pro. First, it greatly improves control when backing up, eliminating much of that trial and error that occurs when you're not towing trailers on a regular basis. Second, Quadrasteer allows you to back a trailer into spots where you could not physically do so without it. Quadrasteer also increases towing capacity slightly due to the heavy-duty componentry that supports it.
The optional Ride Control Suspension, available with or without Quadrasteer, is designed to enhance control when pulling a trailer. Press the Ride Control button when the truck is empty and the system firms up the shock damping, which reduces bouncing somewhat, although at the expense of increased harshness. When towing, Ride Control helps reduce the tendency of the truck to pogo as the trailer goes over bumps. It can also be used for better suspension control when driving off road.
Four different engines are available for Chevy's light-duty pickups, so when choosing one it's helpful to study power ratings, payload ratings, tow ratings, fuel-economy ratings, pricing, and other data.
Chevrolet Silverado stands tall in a superb new crop of full-size pickups. Roomy, comfortable seats, a comfortable ride, and powerful engines make the Silverado a great work truck. Last year, Chevrolet made the Silverado more reliable and more enjoyable to drive every day. 2004 brings more standard equipment.

I'll admit it, I have an unhealthy addiction to Half-Frame cameras. In the last few years, I've assembled and hoarded a small collection of them while scouring the Earth for the perfect half-frame camera. My addiction to these relics is unhealthy, yes, but only in that I've wasted too much money on what's turned out to be mostly junk. Oh well, what are you gonna do? Here's of what I've ended up with over the years:
A. 1961 Olympus Pen EE . Acquired on Ebay for $30. Status of operation: The shutter sticks, feels like it's permanently set on Bulb mode. General feeling about the camera: Basically worthless, except for long-exposure night shots.
B. 1968 Olympus Pen EES-2. Acquired for 30 Yen at a Tokyo Flea Market. Status of operation: The lens is loose and stuck on a setting that only allows for shooting in bright sun light. General feeling about the camera: It's my favorite. Despite the the lens and setting problems, it's dependable for shooting under said circumstances.
C. 1960 Olympus Pen S. Acquired for 40 Pesos at Flea Market in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Status of operation: Structurally sound, but has a light leak. General feeling about the camera: The light leak bums me out and I really don't use it.
D. 1963 Olympus Pen F. Acquired on Ebay for $(...I'm ebarassed to say). Status of operation: Solid. General feeling about the camera: It's a bad ass machine, half-frame SLR with interchangeable lenses ...what's not to like?
E. 1961 Olympus Pen EE. Acquired as gift from Paul Schiek. He said, "you can have it, maybe find someone who can fix it." Status of operation: The lens is hanging by two wires from the body of the camera. General feeling about the camera: It's a nice paper weight.
Half-frame photos are the only kind of film I honestly still shoot. Digital just can't replace the uncalculated effect of two different frames being placed next to each other on a single print. There's too much control in the digital realm, being able to instantly delete a photo eliminates the "happy accident" effect you get in an analog half-frame shot.
This year I though it'd be cool to put some photos together and make something with them, something practical, ...like a Calendar (I figured that might sell better than a page of artsy photos on their own). So, I got busy drawing out the dates for next year.
...And then the months. I really like the way hand drawn fonts look as opposed to computerized fonts.
After I finished drawing out the year and picking photos, everything was scanned in and layed out in Indesign. Slowly, but surely, a calendar began to take shape.
And ouila, the calendar for 2008th year after the death of Christ was complete (doesn't it seem like just yesterday that Jesus died?? wierd.).
I reckon it looked good, so from the Indesign file I made a hi-res PDF and electronically zapped it over to a press in the East Bay. (dear internet, there's also few full-frame shots thrown in the calendar too, I know)
Five days later a nice fellow dropped off four boxes of calendars at Needles + Pens, hot off the presses (fresh print jobs smell so good). Rad! MIssion accomplished (...my credit card bill is not going to be rad)
I packaged them in nice mylar bags with a handy descriptive card, and they were ready to be consumed by punctual art enthusiasts everywhere. Maybe you'd like to purchase one, yes? Radical, go here.
Besides blowing my money on antiquated camera junk and making calendars, I've been working on a zine for the upcoming Rich Jacobs + TIm Kerr show in December at N+P. ... If I was a professional gallery operator, I'd call it a "catalogue" (oui, oui, wheres my beret?), but since I'm punk rock, I'll just call it a zine. Here's a little sneak peek at what's gonna be in it:
Gonz and Rich Jacobs
Wheat-pastings by Rich Jacobs
Art by Rich Jacobs, Skateboarding by Neil Blender.
(We are gearing up for what is called, getting down, ...alright brothers??!)
The reason you have that tattoo of the Anarchy symbol with the skateboard through it - Tim Kerr guitar shredding in THE BIG BOYS. fun, fun, fun!!
"Be not of this world" Sun Ra by Tim Kerr
Tim Kerr and Mike Watt at the old 14th street Needles & Pens.
"Our band could be your life, Me and Mike Watt we played for years. Punk rock changed our lives......"
Howard Finster by Tim Kerr
....TIm Kerr + Rich Jacobs opens December 8th @ Needles+Pens. There'll be both art and music, go, go, go!
Alright dudes, that about wraps her up. I'll try to be a better blog buddy this month and keep you internets more up to speed. You should probably go listen to some Big Boys and the Minutemen now, I am.
See ya!

YOU WOULDN'T wash greasy dishes or clothes in cold water and expect to get them clean. Why do you use a cold-water pressure washer to clean a greasy tractor? That's the question the salespeople at Hotsy cleaning equipment ask farmers. Although the company sells both hot- and cold-water pressure washers, it says hot water cleans twice as well as cold, and it sells more than twice as many hot-water models as cold-water ones. In total, Hotsy has 80 models of hot-water pressure washers.
The 555SS model, shown here, heats water to 180° before blasting it out in a 1,300-psi stream. As they say in the dish detergent commercials, grease doesn't stand a chance. Neither do corrosive fertilizers, chemicals, dirt, manure or weed seeds. The mobile washers use an oil-fired burner to deliver constant temperature using diesel fuel, kerosene or home-heating oil.
The 555SS uses a leakproof, 2-hp, 115v electric motor and comes with a 37-ft. power cord with safety ground fault interrupter. Price: $2,665. Contact Hotsy Equipment Co., Dept. FIN, 17 W. Peru St., Princeton, IL 61356, 800/553-5201, visit www.hotsy.com or www.freeproductinfo.net/fin, or circle 196.


text: I recently got an iPad, and to make a long story short, I dropped it. Thankfully the screen didn't shatter, but the screen does have some pretty nasty and deep scratches on it from the sand that was on the floor. If I were to take it to an Apple Store, does anyone think that they will replace it? Or will Apple just say it's my fault (which it is) and tell me that I'll have to either pay to replace the screen, or just to live with it? I would like to know whether this is a possibility, because these deep scratches do bother me, and are quite visible, especially when something on the screen is white. I've never had to go to the Apple Store in the past to ask for a replacement device with this iPad, or any of my previous Apple devices. Could this be a contributing factor that could help me out, or is that detail just irrelevant? Other details: This is the 4th generation iPad (16 GB);It was purchased at a third party retailer (Future Shop) ;I've had a few other issues with this iPad, such as wifi connectivity issues and a few battery issues which seem to come and go, and aren't an issue most of the time. So, if anyone can give me any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. If you have had to go and replace your iPad, or any other Apple device, please let me know what your experiences were like. Lastly, is this even a possibility, or just a dream? If anyone can help, thanks. I really appreciate it.

Paris Hilton congratulates ex-BFF Kim Kardashian on her pregnancy
Us WeeklyParis Hilton wishes nothing but the best for her ex-BFF Kim Kardashian, who is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Kanye West, in the summer of 2013.After attending the 39th Annual People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles, held on Jan. 9, Hilton, 31, and her Spanish model boyfriend, River Viiperi, 21, hit up Emerson Nightclub in Hollywood, Calif. On her way inside the hot spot, TMZ asked the hotel heiress to comment on the E! reality star's baby news.PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West pack on the PDA"I'm really happy for her," Hilton said diplomatically.When a photographer asked Hilton, "When do you think it will be your turn?", the smiling star ignored him and made her way inside.Hilton and Kardashian's friendship ended many years ago. Hilton has since apologized for publicly mocking the Armenian star's butt in a radio interview. "It's 100 percent jealousy," a source told Us Weekly of Hilton in 2010. "Kim is not only doing what Paris did, she's doing it better."PHOTOS: Best-friend breakupsKardashian, meanwhile, recently told Us she's "feeling good" during her first trimester. "I haven't had any morning sickness, but it still isn't the easiest," she admitted. "People always say it's easy and fun. It's definitely an adjustment learning about your body and stuff like that. I've been feeling really good, so that's good."VIDEO: Watch Paris Hilton storm out of an ABC interviewThough she doesn't have any baby news to report, Hilton is happier than ever -- and so is her man. "So much fun at the People's Choice Awards with my beautiful love, Paris," Viiperi tweeted. "I won have the hottest and best girlfriend, but they didn't have that category this year."Keep clicking to see pics of Paris and Kim together ...© SGranitz/WireImage

Snow Ain't My Thing…I'm All About Spring
As I'm writing this it's 20 degrees outside and there's about two feet of the white stuff covering everything.
I'm not a huge fan of winter.
You ask "D why do you live in the mountains if you don't care for winter?"
That's easy, there's no better place to live in the spring, summer and fall.
It's Superbowl Sunday and I'm writing about baseball because I'm thinking about my upcoming road trip to the Phoenix area.
Spring Training, if you're a baseball lover and you've never attended it's on your bucket list.
If you've had a taste of spring training and you live in a cold weather state, it becomes a ritual.
Point and case…Me
My first Spring Training trip was the season after the Rockies World Series run and I did it because I needed more. My first blog entry on the Rant back in March of 2008 was about my first Spring Training trip. It's called:
Out of the Storm…The Ranter is Born.
My blog entries were a lot simpler back then 🙂
Spring Training 2009
That quick three-day trip in 2008 was a tease and for Spring Training 2009 my buddy Andy(known as Andy from Spring Training) planned a ten-day trip in a 30 ft RV dubbed "The Mobile Blogging Unit"
Here's the first blog entry from that trip:
Fun in the Sun as I watch game Game One.
Early Morning Meet and Greet was Neat
Waiting for Game Four So I can Blog at you Some More
This next blog entry was inspired by a brief encounter with Vinny Castilla. I've since forgiven Vinny and even named my VW bus after the guy.
Snagg'n Behind Enemy Lines for the First Time
Andy from Spring Training
I could have stayed another couple of weeks but both of us had jobs that needed us and a guy can only play for so long. This trip kicked ass and now that I think back ten days was the perfect amount of time.
2010 Spring training
Spring Training this year consisted of two games. I didn't have the vacation time saved up to do a Tucson trip this season. Lucky for us the Rockies played two Spring Training games in Albuquerque at the Isotopes Stadium and the wife and I were able to attend those games.
I called the entry for Game One against the Mariners:
We Left Our Mark at Isotopes Park
Game Two was even better, I called that entry:
Don't Mind if I Do…I Think I'll Take Two
Alan Shuster from MyGameBalls.com wrote an article about the Brad Eldred and Jason Giambi homers I snagged from the batters eye at the end of the game at Isotopes park.
Rockpile Ranter Grabs Two Home Run Balls
So even though Spring Training 2010 was only two games, I made it and it was a blast.
Spring Training 2011
From the moment I heard that the Rockies and D-Backs were getting a new Spring Training facility I knew I had to be the first fan inside the joint on opening day. Opportunities like that are few and far between and I wanted to be able to tell folks for years to come that I opened that stadium.
The family and I were in supposed to be in Arizona visiting my parents about the same time as the inaugural game at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick so pulling this off consisted of good timing and some serious back and forth driving between Yuma and Phoenix on my part.
Here's the kids and I in the back fields of Salt River Fields at Talking Stick a few days before the inaugural game snagg'n baseballs.
I called that first entry of that trip:
Yeah the Sun's Fun…Bring on Game One
I called the second entry:
A Geezer and a Canadian Open the New Stadium
The final entry of the trip:
I Ended Up With One…But Damn It Was Fun
Spring Training 2012 will be ten days and I'll be hang'n with the Rox Addict who kinda sees things like I do.
There's a lot of new faces within the Rockies organization and there's no better way to gauge a new player than to see how he acts/interacts during Spring Training. It's where new players meet old players and friendships begin to form.
The plan is to visit to every stadium/facility in the Cactus League detailing all of it as we go. Who knows what kind of trouble we'll get into down there?
I'm "D" The Ranter and I love my mountains but I prefer the dugout to digg'n out… "D"

InSync Physio necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 160 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
InSync Physiotherapy
I am a Sports and Orthopedic Manual Physiotherapist working with various types of sport injuries and post surgeries to return to sport. Trained in advanced manual therapy with my diploma in Manipulative Therapy and Orthopaedics (advanced soft tissue and joint manipulations) and in IMS - needling (use of acupuncture needles) I also work with people who have sustained spinal injuries from car accidents, surgeries, work accidents and amateur and recreational athletes.
I am passionate about helping people and making their lives better because it makes mine better.
I strongly believe in Community.
I consider myself compassionate and am open to explore new ways and new ideas to promote and market my clinic.
What motivates me?
I strongly believe that you can be happy and joyful in every moment of every experience throughout life's challenges no matter what they are. In helping others with their injuries and getting "Back in Motion" or "InSync" is a very rewarding experience in itself for me.
The market in Vancouver, BC that I am targeting is aimed towards people with an active lifestyle and incorporates patient-centered interdisciplinary care.
With this said, I do not want exclude others as well such as people with non-sport, non-active lifestyle injuries. i also treat individuals post-surgically and with acute and chronic repetitive stress injuries from work as well. The clinic is an environment where people will leave feeling like not only their health is in good hands, but that they are an integrated part of that process and that the experience was very empowering for them.
My Mission Statement for the clinic largely reflects my target audience:
InSync Physiotherapy Sport Injuries, Orthopedics and Wellness clinic is committed to providing a unique blend of interdisciplinary patient-centered health care services for those who seek to continue an active healthy lifestyle after experiencing limitations due to injury.
With compassion, honesty & integrity we strive for the highest level of care utilizing the best techniques in science-based practice to treat the underlying cause of your problem.
At InSync Physiotherapy we will work together with you to bring you back 'InSync ' to your optimal health and maximum potential for sport, work or play.
Simple is Good!
The Logo will embody the vision / essence of its name and what the clinic represents
No cartoons No stock images.
Name "InSync" can be in bold overlap as in:
But i am open to other ideas.
Some other websites with logos that incorporate a good feel for their name are:

The aim of this portal is to demonstrate the idea and usage of the so-called beer distribution game (or beergame) in University teaching and management education.
The beergame is a role-play simulation game that lets students experience typical coordination problems of (traditional) supply chains, in which information sharing and collaboration does not exist. In more general terms, this supply chain represents any non-coordinated system in which problems arise due to lack of systemic thinking.
As a way of facilitating the beergame in a class room, training or workshop situation, we have developed an innovative beergame facilitation software, which allows not only replicating the classic beergame, but also to manipulate various parameters of the game, thus providing participants with ways to experience the differences between uncoordinated supply chains and those with information sharing and coordination.
More specifically, with this portal I want to demonstrate how the beergame can be used to provide students with a more profound understanding of the reasons why information technologies are used in contemporary supply chains.
To this end, I introduce the beergame, demonstrate its use in a classroom setting, and show how the game can be embedded in a typical B2B eCommerce syllabus.
Moreover, I provide some useful resources: 1) materials for facilitating the classic table
version of the game, 2) links to other beergame
resources on the web, and 3) last but not least our beergame facilitation software can be used free of
charge in educational contexts! Feel free contact me!
Now, please enjoy,

The 49ers on Monday hired former Raiders wide receiver Ronald Curry to be an offensive assistant.
Curry spent seven seasons with the Raiders, including two when current 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was a Raiders offensive assistant in 2002-03.
"The 49ers and our staff are pleased to be initiating Ronald's NFL coaching career," Harbaugh said in a team release. "Our team will greatly benefit from Ronald's athletic experiences."
Curry, 33, last played in an NFL game in 2008. He failed to catch on with another team once his Raiders career ended. Overall, he caught 193 passes for 2,347 yards and 13 touchdowns in 76 games.
He spent the past three years as the football coach and athletic director at Morrisville (N.C.) High School.

If we are connected on instagram, (cottageandvine) forgive me for repeating myself, but I thought I would share a few pictures that I posted over the weekend.
Each year over Thanksgiving, I beg a family member to take pictures of us. I still need to go through them all and make a selection for our Christmas cards, but this was one of my favorites.
After eating a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner made mostly by my mother-in-law (who by the way did not sit down until Friday), I vowed never to eat again. The food was delicious as always - thanks Kathy!
If you are looking for a crowd pleasing appetizer I highly recommend this one. Can you see how many hands are reaching for it? It was that good!
I always, always enjoy these girls!
One of the best parts of our visit is seeing how the cousins interact. I love to see how our boys handle themselves too - setting a good example for the young ones. Sometimes I hear myself in them - not sure if that is good or bad ;).
We returned home to much cooler weather and enjoyed our first fire of the season.
My head is reeling with client work, the holiday to-do list, etc. I say this every year and this time is no different. When it comes to decorating, I'm going to keep it simple. I already feel overwhelmed with all the decorating I see going on everywhere. Do you?

I find it useful for keeping track of recipies I like and for nutritional analysises, it also has a function that allows you to keep track of what you need to buy and how much it would cost. I think It's quite an old programe, but It still seems to do everything I want it too, and I should imagine it's even more useful for a person who does the shopping. Does anyone else have it, or a similar programe?
hmmm, never heard of the program before. Is if freeware/shareware (or crackable XD)? I wouldn't mind trying it.
Yum yum bento yum yum!
I have MasterCook not sure if it's version 9 or not. But I use it alot when I'm searching online. I like that fact that I can open MasterCook in my browser and load any recipe I find with just a few clicks. I'm trying to cut down on printing so many recipes; way too much paper!
I created a BentoBox cookbook and recipes that I think will work well in bentos go into that cookbook. Also, when I try a recipe in a bento and it's successful (my daughter likes it) I put it into that cookbook as well. Then when I want to make it again, I just open MasterCook, BentoBox cookbook and the recipes are easily accessible.
And it's not freeware but not very expensive either. If I recall it's under $15 and can be found at local bookstores (Barnes & Noble) and online (amazon.com, etc.).
I have CalorieKing. It comes in Mac as well as PC. Not very expensive, and there is an Australian version, so I can get the nutritional analyses of food I can actually buy in the shops. It has exercise stuff as well, for calorie subtraction.
It also has an add-on recipe book thingy, which I do have but don't use, I keep my recipes in Cookware Deluxe.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
Wait for plugins to finish before moving on.
const correctness
malloc over fatty buffers
malloc data size, not pointer size
Fix failed services a little, and make timeout more sane
Improve applet help a little. Also, if mountinfo as any mounts given, work explictly with --netdev/--nonetdev
Quiet some compile time warnings on uclibc
Wups, should be xstrdup
Punt rc_ from xstrdup, xalloc, xrealloc and exists as they're not in librc anymore
Move rc_env_filter and rc_env_config out of librc and into rc
Fix a few errors with the last few commits
Punt rc_waitpid
Punt rc_rm_dir
Punt rc_ls_dir
Punt rc_is_dir
rc_make_env -> rc_env_config, rc_filter_env -> rc_env_filter
rc_service_option_set -> rc_service_value_set, rc_service_option_get -> rc_service_value_get
Compile fix
rc_allow_plug -> rc_service_plugable
rc_set_service_option -> rc_service_option_set, rc_get_service_option -> rc_service_option_get
Plug a leak
Rationalise more functions into rc_service_
librc no longer uses libeinfo. deptree function names are now all under rc_deptree_
rc_service_state now returns the state as a mask, which means that we can do things with just the one call making is more efficient.
enums are now fixed to specific values and are in UPPER CASE.
rc_is_env is now rc_env_bool and just works with boolean values.
Revert last patch
We no longer use bool in our public headers, using int instead.
Add support for describing the options in the C programs.
Initial doxygen documentation for rc.h and einfo.h. Plus some header clean ups.
Plug some leaks
Added the checkown applet based on the work by Renato Caldas, #192682 checkdir ensures that the specified files (or directories) are owned by the current user/group or as specified on the command line. You can optionally check permissions too.
Don't be an ass - don't free the 2nd list. Instead just empty it.
Match the recent api change to rc_strlist_join also. We now free the 2nd list for ease of use.
API change! rc_config_env is renamed to rc_make_env and takes no argument.
API change! rc_ls_dir, rc_get_config and rc_get_list no longer take a starting list as a first argument. Instead, use rc_strlist_join to append or prepend the new list to an existing list.
API change! rc_strlist_add and friends now take char *** instead of char ** and return a pointer to the item added instead of the new list head. This is so we can easily tell if the item was successfully added or not instead of iterating through the list looking for it. list = rc_strlist_add (list, item); becomes rc_strlist_add (&list, item);
More path fixes thanks to Thomas Pani
Use correct defines
Undocument pause action, fix --nodeps and --ifstarted, #190045.
#define shutdown
Move more stuff to #defines
Fix ksoftlevel handling, #190420.
Only open /proc/cmdline if it exists, #189686 thanks to Christian Affolter
Stop un-needed services when changing runlevels, #189050.
Fully move esyslog into rc
Add esyslog support
Don't link to rt anymore as it makes dlopen leak - we now use nanosleeps to achieve the same goal (a loop + timeout). No longer put / at the end of directories, instead prefix like so RC_LIBDIR "/foo" to ensure more robust code.
Boot properly when we cannot set an early font, #187628.
Fix rc-update, #187487 and release rc2.
All our binaries are now mulicalls into rc, which makes our on disk size a lot smaller.
Merge some of reb's OpenBSD fixes in
appending noinitd=xdm will skip the xdm service when first booting, #181858.
RC_DEPEND_STRICT now controls dependency strictness. If yes then we only use services in the boot and default runlevels, regradless of service state. If no then we take into account coldplugged services and the state of currently running services. Fixes #185640.
Don't do interactive when changing init, #174141.
Punt the dodgy ebuffer code. We now force prefixing for parallel starts which also reduces our variable pollution.
Remove a debug line
We no longer care about numerical runlevels, #184733.
As we're running each plugin in a fork, we need to call our cleanup code so we don't leak memory. To this extent, we now have the global boolean rc_in_plugin and the cleanup code can act accordingly.
Add --nocolor to more programs
Change pwd to / for all init scripts, #181224.
Create a function for running init.sh and init-early.sh which saves on code and removes a gcc-4.2 warning
Default eend to SUCCESS if no options given
RC_INTERACTIVE now works, #178331.
Always pass ttyname to sulogin
Don't timeout waiting for checkfs and checkroot. Do a better fix later.
Set fonts in init-early.sh, don't stop services twice when shutting down and lock prefixed output.
Don't pass $CONSOLE to sulogin and split rc_environ_fd on NULLs
We now have an alternative to buffering stdout and stderr. RC_PREFIX="yes" will put the service name as a prefix to all output made by the service. Thanks to Ciaran McCreesh for the idea.
We now buffer stdout and stderr to a file and flush that when running in parallel. RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP has been renamed to RC_PARALLEL.
Style fixes
Re-work the starting and stopping of services so we always know the pid so we can kill our children without the need for process groups which we cannot use as keyboard will not work in init.
Fix rc-abort to notify the plugins we are aborting
Added the rc-abort command, #175106 thanks to Daniel Drake.
Plugins now run in a forked process for extra resliance.
strdup -> rc_xstrdup
Rationalise our colour usage a little.
Cuddle up to LKML C style
Change veinfo and friends to einfov. Rationale - we may need veinfo to support va_list in the future.
Fix indentation
rc does not need SIGCHLD handler. Also, always return 0 in /etc/rc as non zero for default may freeze system.
Use names instead of numbers for reporting signals and trap signals in rc
LIBDIR -> LIB. When interuppted, ensure service state is restored correctly. When stopping, don't uncoldplug too early.
Misc fixes, plugged a memory leak in runscript.c and use va_copy to avoid nasty segfaults
We now compile on OpenBSD (no idea if it works or not yet)
Rewrite the core parts in C. We now provide librc so other programs can query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions. As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you should disable find too. zsh and ksh do not work at this time. Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash array based. As such, a new config format is available like so config_eth0="220.127.116.11/24 126.96.36.199/16" or like so config_eth0="'18.104.22.168 netmask 255.255.255.0' '220.127.116.11 netmask 255.255.0.0'" We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS a link it bash. ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo.

Is it just a harmless bump on the head — or something more serious? Our pediatric concussion experts have the experience, equipment and medical know-how to tell the difference. We take a team approach to assess and treat mild traumatic brain injuries and concussions in children of all ages.
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury that occurs when someone's brain moves around inside the skull or bangs against it. Although the injury may seem mild, concussions in children can affect health, thinking ability, behavior/mood, school performance and social interactions.
A concussion can be caused by:
- a fall, especially in babies, toddlers and young children
- a sports injury
- a crash involving an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), bike or automobile
- a physical attack, a school fight or child abuse
- whiplash
- any major head trauma, blow to the head
With plenty of rest and reduced activity, kids often recover on their own from a concussion in a week or two. Concussions in other children might require weeks or even months of therapy, rehabilitation, and taking a break from school, sports and other physical and cognitive activities. One of the most important factors for a successful recovery is easing back in to regular activities slowly over time, one activity at a time, with guidance from your health care provider.

It depends. You probably wont get into the top Canadian law schools (especially UofT) unless you have some mitigating circumstances that you could potentially include in an addendum along with your personal statements. Remember, a high 160 isn't really outstanding when you're applying to top schools, its within the average range of scores among the pool of applicants you'll be competing with - therefore, a high 160s score will hardly compensate for a low GPA.
You might get into schools that average your top 2 years if you're able to pull off a 3.7+ this year. But your chances are still rather slim, since you'll average only about a 2.7 to 3.0. But I wouldnt recommend taking a victory lap, or splitting your final year into 2 easier/more manageable years. Adcoms in Canada prefer to admit applicants who have taken a full course load throughout their undergraduate degree - because everyone would be applying with a 4.0 if you could take partial course loads.
Also, your major might matter to adcoms. Are you enrolled in a "soft" or "hard" sciences program?
There are many exceptions made though, and your reasons for obtaining a low UGPA are your own, so don't let any of this discourage you from at least trying the real LSAT. I would say that your chances are very good if you manage a 175.
well I definitely will be making a victory lap and I guess i'll just have to wait and see if i can pull it off or not.
Btw, if i were to repeat an LSAT test will it be averaged or does only the latest one count?

Nonprofit Business & Social Enterprise
Bachelor of Business Administration in Nonprofit Business & Social Enterprise

Evangel's Nonprofit Business & Social Enterprise major is a comprehensive major consisting of 71 credit hours that enables student to integrate our business foundation courses with requirements and electives from management, marketing and specific nonprofit courses. Students can use 18 elective credits to select a management emphasis, promotion/social enterprise emphasis, or to incorporate a minor in social work, criminal justice, intercultural studies (missions), international studies, biblical studies, broadcasting, digital arts, electronic media, film, journalism, photography, TESOL/TEFL, leadership, music technology, recreation or other areas with the objective of enabling a student to combine their vocational interest with managing or promoting a nonprofit organization. Evangel's location, mission and extensive network of alumni who are already serving in nonprofit leadership gives us access to people and resources that can bring real world experience into the learning process through adjunct faculty, guest lectures and seminars, mentors, special projects and a significant field experience.

With the unemployment rate nationally still hovering around 9 percent, many people are grateful simply to get a paycheck - but gratitude doesn't take the stress out of the daily grind.
To get a sense of the most stressful jobs in America, CareerCast.comlooked at 11 different factors that can cause stress on the job, and ranked 200 professions by how significantly these demands factor into the average workday. Factors that weighed into stress include work environment, job competitiveness, physical demands, deadlines, on-the-job dangers and even the job's growth potential.
Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.com, highlights an interesting trend in America's job market: "As for people who want to throw themselves into bigger challenges, there are simply less of those people than there used to be. "This phenomenon is having an effect on new entrants into the job market. Specifically, he says, new college graduates are seeking jobs that bring them less stress, a choice that may be difficult to realize for individuals who have been entrenched in their jobs for an extended period of time.
Lee says there will always be people willing to take on the challenges of consistently stressful jobs, such as firefighters and policemen. However, these professions feel the additional stress of the overall economy in the form of uncertainty about budget cuts and pension benefits -- which can considerably add to an already stressful job.
For almost every job in America, the recession has in some way affected how individuals feel in their everyday work routine. How have the rankings of stressful jobs changed and which jobs rank as the most stressful this year? Click ahead to find out.

I'm so convinced, that I'm pretty much willing to straight-up trade one of my cars for a good road bike, or sell the car to buy a road bike.
Now, my dream bike at this point in my life would be a nice, gently used Redline Conquest but in reality I'll probably have to settle for something more along the lines of a used Trek Pilot 1.2 or maybe a 1500.
I'm sick of surfing craigslist all day long, finding nothing but bikes that people expect to get $800-$1000 out of. I don't care if it was a $1200 bike and you rode it for one season - you won't get me to cough up a grand for your bike.
Not only that, but there are other circumstances in my life right now. We have two cars and an SUV. One of my cars barely sees any use. It still runs, but it needs a little bit of love. I'd get a lot more use out of a solid road bike than I'll ever get out of that car. I'm kind of hoping that someone in KC is getting sick of looking at the bike that they bought in '05 which sat in their garage all summer last year, but needs a car for a teenager or something.
If I decide to sell, I may only get $500-600 out of my car -- Not exactly the kind of money I'd need for a brand new bike. I guess I start watching the bike shops and pawn shops a bit closer for used bikes.

I think it's time for a road bike...

I have to concur with you. Everybody and his dog wants $1,200 for last year's hardly used ride and no one want to 'fess up that these bikes are subject to "Depreciation" the only thing that depreciates more than a road bike is a Laptop.
The way I see it last years $1,200 bike should be on the used market for half that or even LESS!

If you ride a 57cm to 58cm here is a killer deal on e-bay.
Okay I'm a little biased, but for $60 you can't go wrong.

Be sure it's a "road" bike you really want. They are very fragile and are made to be riden, cleaned and maintained almost daily.
Do your research. If I was your bike salesman in KC, I would be showing you Cross and touring bikes first.

If I had $500-600 I'd buy your car for you... ;) I could use a gas-efficient vehicle over my truck.

Consider a trade offer on CL. If you want to sell the car for 5-600, then offer it as trade for a Road Bike on CL! Just a thought.......
Open the ad with need a car for the kid and your wife wants your unused quality road bike out of the garage? Have I got a deal for you!.......

Tom, I'm already ahead of you, I actually posted THIS POST to CL before I made my blog post. :)
Thanks for the comments, guys

Oh and for AMR, my hybrid's drivetrain gets cleaned or at least re-lubed (it's wax, so it flakes off and doesn't let much into the links) almost daily. Unless I put 10-15 miles on it just on dry, clean pavement, it gets cleaned.
I don't think that proper care and feeding will mess me up on a road bike. I would prefer a cyclocross bike (or a touring bike) over a road bike, but I don't think my car's even worth that much!
- April 08, 2007 11:37 AM
I've never owned anything but a road bike and the two that I've owned were both bought new and each was well under $1000. The first one was a Motobecane that I rode for several years and then finally gave away in still very good condition. The bike I own now and have ridden over 1700km on is a Specialized Allez.

What makes fans boo sportspeople?
In footy, players who change clubs, or get involved in biffo, are fair game. And anyone who is perceived to have too big an opinion of themselves. Perceived disloyalty and perceived injustice (usually liberally interpreted) generally determine the bulk of jeering. Then there is the absurd Australian tendency to boo a champion opponent just because they are exceptional. Collingwood fans used to boo James Hird; Essendon fans would boo Nathan Buckley. Those hoots are a curious expression of tall poppy syndrome, greatness instinctually threatening and frightening emotional partisans.
The best thing about footy in Melbourne is that there is genuine competition between fans in the outer – any such jeering is contested by cheers from the fans of the attacked player. You don't get away with attacking an individual without a vociferous response. Yes, people get carried away, but it is ritualistic and fans move on quickly. The action is consistently distracting, and the game is played by teams, not individuals, so there is a bigger story beyond the booing of the anointed villains.
Tennis is different. Sure, fans choose a player to follow. But the allegiance is, on the whole, temporary, nothing like the life-long connection of a footy fan to a club. Tennis fans don't know who will be playing when they buy tickets to the final. They are there for the event – they know no Aussie is likely to be playing, so their passionate embrace of the occasion depends on the game provided on the night. They want their money's worth, and they have shelled out plenty of it in the hope of a memorable entertainment product. They feel entitled to an epic that sport's fates cannot guarantee.
At a tennis tournament, the demand for silence creates a theatrical atmosphere that exposes the immature, annoying and opportunistic voices often drowned out at continuously loud events like AFL games. There are long gaps between bursts of action. The focus, on just two figures, is fiercer. A tennis match lurches from quiet to loud like a Pixies song, the atmosphere enhanced by the shock of a crowd going from 0 to 100 decibels. There is a tension, a volatility, to this dynamic – some people cannot sit quietly for long. Some are fearful that a banal or embarrassing interjection will ruin the ambience. Many follow the mood of the room, dominated by the loudest voices, in the moment. It is dramatic theatre.
The opportunities for idiots to be heard are greater.
And the unique intimacy of tennis highlights the hysterical edge of the crowd groupmind.
In the tournament's first week, Australian prospect Bernard Tomic was booed for pulling out of a match. He was injured so badly that he will not play for weeks. At least there was a pre-existing prejudice - well-founded or not - against poor Bernie.
But during Sunday night's men's final, why did such a large part of the crowd boo world number one Rafael Nadal after he took an injury timeout? This group decided, without evidence, that one of the most competitive sportspeople ever to bounce a ball, was resorting to blatant gamesmanship when a set down in a major championship watched by millions.
Yes, Nadal pushes the rules to the brink in terms of time-wasting, but he is a fighter, an admirable role model, renowned for his tenacity.
The Age's Greg Baum wrote that Nadal's injury time-out threw the final "out of kilter" and it became an "oddball, even macabre spectacle".
He wrote that the crowd "suspected gamesmanship, if not malingering, the least probable accusation against him".
Jake Niall reported that Nadal refused to blame his injury for his loss, and "understood the visceral reaction" of the crowd.
"I tried to finish the match as good as I can, for the crowd, for the opponent, for me," Nadal said at game's end.
On Monday morning, SEN's Patrick Smith said a large portion of the crowd were "morons" for booing Nadal, and they had "made fools of themselves" by their actions. Station-mate Kevin Bartlett defended the crowd's right to express themselves as they saw fit, saying "You can understand why people get irritated" when players use injury timeouts.
Many talkback callers were unrepentant, claiming Nadal uses whatever tactics he can in big games when he falls behind.
Earlier on the same station, Australian sporting legend Andrew Gaze said that it was "gut-wrenching" to listen to the jeering of Nadal. He said it was "burning in his belly" that we were booing a champion, and that he had wanted to go on court and announce that "This is not what we are about as a country".
The booing reveals that there is a significant portion of fans who are about thinking the worst of the best. They are about being judgmental. They are about being unfair, presumptive, contemptuous. They are about being small-minded.
Such an element is in the midst of every gathering of barrackers, but exposed by the particulars of tennis.
Gaze suggested that tennis players be granted a couple of timeouts per match, so there would be no need for "injury" timeouts to be faked, as they undoubtedly are on occasion.
Such a sensible suggestion might prevent a repeat of the Nadal jeers.
Perhaps better communication of what was happening to Nadal might have tempered some of the booing.
But maybe not. The loudmouths, the abusers, are in every large gathering. It's just that at the tennis, everyone can hear them.
Help The Age's online sport reporter, Will Brodie, further his sporting education. Put him straight.
