Family Hiking In Oregon's Cascades
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: June 10, 2001
DEEP in the woods six miles up from the Columbia River in Oregon, the people who made Eagle Creek Trail faced a conundrum. The trail needs to cross the creek at a point where there is a deep gorge, with a torrential waterfall on one side and plunging nothingness on the other.
These days, trail makers would probably build a bridge across the gorge. Back then, in 1916, they carved a tunnel in the cliff behind the waterfall. A stunning segment of the trail winds along a ledge halfway up the cliff, right up to the spray of the waterfall, and then disappears into what looks like a cave before re-emerging in the spray on a ledge on the other side.
For my three children, ages 3, 7 and 9, these waterfalls are one of the wonders of the world -- and one of the great attractions of backpacking. They have become ardent fans of overnight camping excursions into the Cascade mountains of Oregon, giving me a grand excuse to go, too.
It may seem odd to take such young children on backpack trips, but they love the excitement, the grown-up behavior and the responsibility of setting up camp. And they get tired enough that, unlike on road trips, they don't whine or squabble over who stole whose French fries.
I grew up in Oregon and, for me and my friends, backpacking in the Cascades was a rite of independence and adulthood. As teenagers, we would disappear into the mountains for up to 10 days at a time and emerge blistered, sunburned, tired and thrilled. So, naturally, I wanted to inflict similar pleasures on my own children.
Our first journeys, in the summer of 1999 when Gregory was 7 and Geoffrey just 5, were an experiment. I took the boys while leaving little Caroline at home with my wife, Sheryl. We all had visions of my having to carry the boys back, or, worse, our being stuck somewhere if I broke a leg. But our hikes on Eagle Creek Trail, in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, and Paradise Park Trail, in Mount Hood National Forest, were so successful that last July we expanded the roster and included Sheryl and Caroline, then just 2.
The boys chose the itinerary and settled on Eagle Creek Trail, which has always been one of my favorites as well. It begins at a campground within a mile of the Columbia River about an hour from downtown Portland, so it is a popular route for day-trippers and overnight campers. The trail winds through forests of Douglas fir alongside Eagle Creek (initially more like a river and eventually just a trickle) up 13 miles to Wahtum Lake and a junction with Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, the legendary route that runs from Mexico to Canada.
The boys have always wanted to carry their own packs, so we loaded up their school packs. Both were light: Gregory had his sleeping bag, and Geoffrey carried some clothes. Caroline alternately walked and was carried by Sheryl in a frame child carrier, and I carried a 35-pound backpack with everything else.
The boys took turns leading, after a stern warning about the need to avoid horseplay and a reminder that if they twisted an ankle they would have to hobble out. At first, as always, there was a bit of exuberant racing up the trail, but soon they settled down into a nice rhythm.
I've noticed that Gregory and Geoffrey, while not normally renowned in our household for their sense of responsibility, always mature dramatically while backpacking. Maybe they feel they are being treated as adults, and rise to the challenge. Or maybe they're just too exhausted to be childish.
Eagle Creek Trail rises steadily but not steeply, passing a couple of pretty waterfalls where we rested. We also paused along one deep gorge where a year earlier the boys and I had seen a bald eagle, but this time the only person who claimed to see one was Caroline. And I think she was fibbing, because she claimed to spot a ''bad eater'' in every tree.
At first there were day hikers swarming all over the trail, but after a few miles they gradually thinned out. We took a long rest at High Bridge, around four miles in, where the trail takes a metal footbridge across a stunning gorge, only about 30 feet across and more than 100 feet above the creek.
With the children, we double-checked Galileo's conclusion that time, not weight, determines how quickly bodies fall, and dropped pebbles of various weights from the same height into the creek to see if the heavier ones would drop more quickly. After confirming that Galileo was correct -- all the rocks took the same time to fall -- we moved on into the woods again.
One of my concerns in taking Sheryl along was that the trip would confirm her suspicions that I'm a negligent parent, particularly when she realized that the trail followed a cliff edge for several sections of a hundred yards each. In my defense, the trail has a cable handrail on the inside where it plunges off on the outside, and the boys were very good about holding on to the rail. We carried Caroline through those areas, and rather to my surprise my wife said nothing. In any case, so long as a hiker is careful, there is no substantial risk.

The Centre for Evidence in Transplantation and the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) have initiated a collaboration and have agreed that the CET will become the Knowledge Centre for ESOT. The collaboration focusses on helping with the design and reporting of randomised controlled trials in Europe, and with conducting and publishing high quality systematic reviews.
The collaboration has also led to the Evidence in Transplantation (EVIT) course and the monthly Transplant Trial Watch.
The aim of the collaboration is several fold but one major project is to improve the methodological quality of European transplantation trials by advising investigators in the early stages of trial design and planning. An analysis of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in organ transplantation between 2004 and 2006 has shown that only around one third of trials were of good methodological quality. This detracts from the value of the evidence provided by these poor RCTs.
This free service is available to ESOT members.

More cool gnome-shell tips and tricks
Because of this stability I feel confident that, with the help of these (and more) tips, you can also become an early adopter of GNOME 3 and be ahead of the curve. In this article you will see a few more of these tips.
Better use of the "overview"
The "overview" of GNOME Shell is what you see when you either move your mouse to the upper left corner of your desktop or press the "Super" (or "Windows") key. When you open up the overview you will see a zoomed out view of your desktop with all the windows thumbnailed. Let's tweak this a bit (for a good reason).
Remember the Linux desktop pager (that tool that allows you to have more than one desktop?) Let's set our GNOME Shell up to have four desktops. To do this click the "+" symbol in the lower right corner (when you are viewing the overview) until you have four small squares in the bottom center of the window (see Figure 1).
Now that you have those four squares, let's set the overview to show all of your desktops when you are in overview mode.

We successfully demonstrate surface enhanced infrared spectroscopy (SEIRS) using arrays of indium-tin oxide (ITO) plasmonic nanoantennas. The ITO antennas show a strongly reduced plasmon wavelength, which holds promise for ultracompact antenna arrays and extremely subwavelength metamaterials. The strong plasmon confinement and reduced antenna cross section allows ITO antennas to be integrated at extremely high densities with no loss in performance due to long-range transverse interactions. By further reducing the spacing of antennas in the arrays we access the regime of plasmonic near field coupling where the response is enhanced for both Au and ITO devices. Ultracompact ITO antennas with high spatial and spectral selectivity in spectroscopic applications offer a viable new platform for infrared plasmonics, which may be combined with other functionalities of these versatile materials in devices.

Spectroscopy, Near-infrared
A noninvasive technique that uses the differential absorption properties of hemoglobin and myoglobin to evaluate tissue oxygenation and indirectly can measure regional hemodynamics and blood flow. Near-infrared light (NIR) can propagate through tissues and at particular wavelengths is differentially absorbed by oxygenated vs. deoxygenated forms of hemoglobin and myoglobin. Illumination of intact tissue with NIR allows qualitative assessment of changes in the tissue concentration of these molecules. The analysis is also used to determine body composition.
Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared
A spectroscopic technique in which a range of wavelengths is presented simultaneously with an interferometer and the spectrum is mathematically derived from the pattern thus obtained.
Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy
A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
Measurement of the regional temperature of the body or an organ by infrared sensing devices, based on self-emanating infrared radiation.
Infrared Rays
That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum usually sensed as heat. Infrared wavelengths are longer than those of visible light, extending into the microwave frequencies. They are used therapeutically as heat, and also to warm food in restaurants.

From the Connecticut Post:
A California couple pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court here to being "Monsignor Meth" Kevin Wallin's connection to high-quality crystal methamphetamine.
Chad McClusky, a 43-year-old electrical consultant from San Clemente, and his girlfriend, 47-year-old Kristen Laschober, a wardrobe stylist, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Alfred Covello to conspiring to distribute the drug.
Both face up to 10 years in prison when they are sentenced Aug. 8, but the judge ordered them released to inpatient drug treatment after Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Caruso put on the record that both defendants could be eligible for lesser terms because of their drug dependence.
Wallin, 61, pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess and distribute crystal meth earlier this month. At his sentencing June 25, he faces 11 to 14 years in prison. He has been suspended from his priestly duties.
From August to December 2012, Wallin is accused of doing $300,000 in sales from at least 4.4 pounds of the drug sent to him by McCluskey and Laschober, the Post reports.

Becky O'Neill
Born: Rebecca Ruth Birenbaum in 1924, Philadelphia, PA
Died: July 1, 2005, Philadelphia
"KO" Becky O'Neill was a boxing manager in Philadelphia, best known for working with WBA Bantamweight champion Jeff Chandler.
O'Neill was the daughter of Phillip Birenbaum, a Russian who fled Russia after his family of seven children had been killed in the Bolshevik Revolution. Birenbaum relocated to South Philadelphia, and started another family of seven children. Becky, who was dimunitive in size (4-7, 82 pounds), began working in vaudeville under the name "Tiny Barron." Working with comedians Al Fisher and Lou Marks, she toured the United States, and once won the National Jitterbug championship.
The advent of television brought upon the decline of vaudeville during the early 1950s, and O'Neill returned to Philadelphia. She then married Willie O'Neill, a boxing fan, who would introduce her to the sport that he loved.
In the mid-1970s a young Bantamweight with one career fight named Jeff Chandler was in need of a manager, after the disappearance of his original manager Arnold Giovanetti. Chandler asked his friend Willie O'Neill if he could come to his aid. Willie agreed to help Chandler, as his trainer and adviser. However, O'Neill had a criminal record. Realizing the difficulty he would face with the commission attempting to get licensed, he turned to his wife, Becky, to take on the role of Chandler's manager.
Chandler would go on to achieve great success under the tutelage of the O'Neills, capturing the WBA Bantamweight title in 1980. Becky O'Neill would often be seen at ringside wearing pigtails and carrying an oversized American flag. At weigh-ins, O'Neill would also serve up a special beef broth for Chandler and other Philly fighters like Matthew Saad Muhammad.
After Chandler retired in 1984, due to cataracts, O'Neill would remain a fixture at Philadelphia fight cards until the death of her husband Willie in 1994. In her later years, O'Neill became more reclusive, before dying in 2005 after a long illness.

Cheese Problem...help!
Over a year ago
Hi everyone. I have a problem. Giving up meat is no problem, but I am having a very difficult time giving up cheese! I hate all the vegan cheeses. Also I've tried vegan recipes for mac and cheese and vegan cheese on pizza and so on, but it's gross. What advice do you have??? Thanks!

Cheese is a tough one. I know this isn't exactly the answer you're looking for, but–
I've been a vegan for a few years now. Just today, I ordered a sub from Jimmy John's, without cheese obviously, but I received some cheese on it. I removed and threw away most of it, but evidently I missed some and ended up consuming a relatively small amount of cheese. I used to love cheese–before becoming a vegan, of course–but after going quite some time without eating cheese, and then surprising my body by eating some unexpected cheese, I felt so sick and bloated afterwards. I'm talking burping and farting all over the place. I felt so gross.
Anyway, I know that isn't exactly what you wanna hear, but just trust me and stick it out. It'll get easier, and eventually the thought of cheese will be off-putting instead of enticing.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

After a woman has a cesarean section, she is almost sure to deliver future babies by having her abdomen cut open again.
That's why efforts to reduce the overall C-section rate - now one out of every three deliveries - often focus on preventing initial cesareans.
Initial cesareans make up 60 percent of all C-sections, and the expert consensus is that many are not medically necessary.
Consumer Reports, the venerable product-
testing group, this month rates 1,500 of the nation's hospitals on how well they avoid first-time cesareans in low-risk women - women carrying a single, properly positioned, full-term baby.

Ronald E. Allen, SR is the President of this company out of Santa Rosa,CA. There was a huge settlement back in April of 2006 through Sonoma County Courts. Please read the press release from 4-11-2006.
Press Release
Date: 04/11/06
Contact person(s):
Media Coordinator, Donna Edwards - 565-3099
Media Spokesperson, Assistant District Attorney Larry Scoufos
Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California
Attorney General Bill Lockyer and Sonoma County District Attorney Stephan R. Passalacqua today announced their offices jointly obtained a $500,000-plus settlement in a consumer protection lawsuit against Santa Rosa-based International Magazine Service of Northern California, Inc. (IMS) and its President and CEO, Ronald E. Allen, Sr.
Under the settlement, IMS will pay restitution to victims, $276,000 in civil penalties and $184,000 to cover the prosecuting agencies' investigative costs and attorney fees. The settlement and complaint it resolves were filed in Sonoma County Superior Court, which reviewed and approved the settlement.
In the complaint, Lockyer and Passalacqua alleged that IMS, which sells magazine subscriptions to consumers throughout the country via telemarketing, misled consumers about the cost of the subscriptions and failed to properly notify consumers of their right to cancel the service, in violation of state law.
"Our consumer protection laws are built on fairness and honesty," said Lockyer. "With its false and misleading sales pitches, IMS violated these fundamental principles and harmed consumers. This settlement holds IMS accountable for its misconduct and appropriately compensates the victims."Passalacqua added, "Our office is committed to working with the Attorney General to protect consumers in Sonoma County and throughout California from deceptive telemarketers."
Aside from the monetary payment, the settlement also prohibits IMS from engaging in a variety of practices to prevent future violations of the law and harm to consumers. Specifically, the settlement prohibits the defendants from:
Making misleading statements and omissions in its telemarketing solicitations, including failing to clearly disclose the price of the magazine subscription plans being offered.
Failing to disclose the number, frequency, and amount of any required installment payments. Failing to promptly honor requests by customers to cancel their accounts and/or to obtain a refund. Harassing or threatening customers when collecting debts.
Ron Allen & Associates, Inc., and its principal, Ronald E. Allen, Jr. also were named as defendants in the complaint and the judgment. The case is People v. International Magazine Service of Northern California, Inc., et al., SCV 238455.
Consumers who believe they are the victims of fraud should file a report with the Attorney General's Public Inquiry Unit online at http://www.ag.ca.gov/consumers. Consumers in Sonoma County who believe they are the victims of fraud are urged to can file complaints by contacting the Environmental and Consumer Law Division of the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office at (707) 565-3161.
ease from 4-11-2006.
For anyone who has been a victim of these people, get your money back! I hope this information helps.

12 gun brig Elizabeth.
The equivalent of the Interceptor...
Or you could say it's based on the Lady Washington, which plays the Interceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean
A 12 gun Brig, built on (old) prefab hulls with three midsections (the hull from my Technic ship infact, too bad, that was one unique ship.
I used the technic components to build a remote controlled car but that's a story for later).
As you may notice this ship does indeed have the proportions of the famous movie ship (location of the cannon ports, masts and decks) but it does not match its colors.
For this ship I worked with whatever parts I had left.
I didn't have enough tan for instant so I used white, the green cannon ports are from the Skull's Eye Schooner. Using green on a ship is risky and the ship still needed a color for the upper parts and railing.
I tried different colors but eventually only dark red resulted in a balanced color scheme.
A (dark) tan deck would have been nice but unfortunatly I do not have enough of that color so I used the traditional gray like the old official ships use.
And now time for an interesting building Idea:
Note how the spanker was attached, it's a very functional construction.
Maybe I should make a video to show how well it works...
I thought this was nice.
Now to the lifeboat!
The stern is kind of simple, I didn't have any square lattice windows left
A look into the cabin...
...which is fully accessible ofcourse
And now it's time for comparisons
From left to right we have: the Beauty, the Intersector, the Christine (which is being worked on as well) and this merchant Brig.
These ships have all been build with the same building technique, a simple construction that needs only few hinges allows me to make fleet instead of a singe ship (ofcourse I have a couple of prefab hulls ready).
In fact I have a another unused hull laying here, if I would demolish my frigate Farore's Wind I could use the parts to build two ships.
But I kind of like my frigate too much to demolish it
Merchant Barquentine against Merchant Brig, who would win ?
Brig against Brig, same question ?
And now a question far more interesting; which of these beauties has the nicest butt ?

Chronic Lyme Disease – Another Negative Study
While Lyme disease itself is a real and often serious infectious illness, the existence and proper treatment of so-called chronic Lyme disease is dubious, and some would say controversial. However, like many controversies we cover, the science itself is not very controversial, but the topic is made so by a persistent minority of outliers who refuse to accept the scientific consensus.
The issue has been raised yet again by a study published recently in The New England Journal of Medicine: "Randomized Trial of Longer-Term Therapy for Symptoms Attributed to Lyme Disease." The study was negative, but I will get into the details below.
Lyme disease
Lyme in an infection caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, and related species. In Europe the infecting species are B. afzelii and B. garinii. These bacteria are spirochetes, which refers to their spiral shape. They are related to the bacterium which causes syphilis, Treponema pallidum, which is also a spirochete.
Syphilis and Lyme both have three stages of illness – a primary infection, secondary symptoms, and then a persistent tertiary syndrome. With Lyme disease, stage 1 involves local infection, including headache, fever, chills, and local arthritis. Stage 2 is disseminated Lyme, including the classic target- or bullseye-shaped rash at the site of the bite, pain, weakness, fatigue, and diffuse arthritis. Stage 3 is persistent late stage infection, and includes ongoing stage 2 symptoms, heart involvement, and neurological involvement. (more…)

Jim Ostergard, 81 - July 16, 2008
Jim Ostergard, 81, of Gothenburg, died Sunday, July 13, 2008, at Gothenburg.
Services were held Wednesday, July 16, at 10 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Gothenburg with the Revs. Randy Dilts and Larry Viter officiating. Burial took take place at the Gothenburg Cemetery.
Ostergard was born to Harry and Ilene Ostergard on Nov. 6, 1926. He attended school at Etna and graduated in 1943 at the age of 16. He pursued a life-long career of farming and ranching.
He married Betty on June 12, 1951, at Arnold. The couple resided near the home place with their children, Steve and Yolonda (Nan). He lost his 17-year-old son, Steve, in a two-car accident in Mullen in 1964.
In 1980, he began working at the Gothenburg sale barn, where his life was enriched with friends he would keep for a lifetime, while still continuing to be active on the ranch, according to family members.
Ostergard was a member of the Methodist Church, the Ancient Free & Accepted Masons and the Elks Club.
He enjoyed the close relationships with his family as well as his land, livestock and the Huskers, said family members.
Ostergard was preceded in death by: his parents, Harry and Ilene; his wife, Betty of 44 years; his son, Steve; a brother, Don; sister-in-law, Arvilla (Al) Atkin of Arnold.
Survivors include; his daughter, Nan (Doug) Ostendorf of Gothenburg; grandson, Eric (Anne) Ostendorf of Gothenburg; granddaughter, Kori Ostendorf of Aurora, CO; four brothers—Jack (Mary Ann) Ostergard and Larry (Joan) Ostergard, all of Gothenburg, Dick (Connie) Ostergard of Brady and Ron (Kayleen) Ostergard of York; sister-in-law, Sue Ostergard of Gothenburg; two great-granddaughters—Sidnee and Devyn Ostendorf; numerous nieces and nephews.

Whether you go to watch baseball, football, hockey or basketball, there's nothing like spending the day at the stadium. No matter if your team wins or loses, watching the game lets you forget about everything else and immerse yourself in the experience. Part of the fun, of course, is the food, and I'm certainly not going to ruin it by telling you not to eat — or to bring along a bag of baby carrots. However, some stadium snacks are healthier than others, so here's the lowdown on what you need to know:
Cotton candy is just sugar that's been heated, colored and spun into threads with added air. Cotton candy on a stick about 1 ounce has 105 calories, but when bagged 2 ounces it has double that number: 210. Cracker Jack is basically candy-coated popcorn with some peanuts thrown in. A stadium-size box has 3.5 ounces and 420 calories, so cotton candy is clearly a better deal. If you must buy the Cracker Jack, however, at least the box has 7 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fiber.
A 6-ounce hamburger has about 490 calories without even counting cheese or other toppings. A 6-ounce grilled chicken sandwich has only 280 calories — a much better deal.
Another alternative, and an even healthier choice, is the 4-ounce turkey burger offered at many of the stadiums serviced by Aramark Sports & Entertainment. At only 147 calories, it's a great bargain.
A typical wrap sandwich 6 ounces has 345 calories and is usually the smarter choice, depending on the ingredients. Six ounces of chicken tenders, on the other hand, have 446 calories, not even including the barbecue sauce, which can have as much as 30 calories per tablespoon.
A regular hot dog with mustard is your best bet, totaling about 290 calories: 180 for the 2-ounce dog, 110 for the bun, and virtually no calories for regular yellow mustard. Sauerkraut adds another 5-10 calories 2 tablespoons, ketchup adds 30 2 tablespoons and relish, another 40 2 tablespoons.
Just be aware of the foot-long hotdogs sold at many stadiums, which can have double the calories in both frankfurter and bun, bringing the grand total to 580 without any toppings.
Pizza at the stadium is a bit larger than a typical slice, about one-sixth of a 16-inch pie rather than one-eighth, which comes to 435 calories per slice. And the sausage-and-pepper sandwich is about the same — 430 calories for 5 ounces, including the bun.
A 12-ounce serving of super nachos with cheese 40 chips, 4 ounces of cheese has more than 1,500 calories — wow! You're better off with a 6-ounce serving of french fries at about 500 calories. Corn on the cob, however, is your best option — 80 calories for the corn and about 100 calories for the butter topping. You could even have two 360 calories and still save 140 calories.
Stadiums sell as many as 6,000 bags of peanuts on a game days, depending on attendance. The only problem is that an 8-ounce bag has 840 calories, and a 12-ounce bag has 1,260. The upside is that peanuts are high in magnesium, vitamin E, niacin, folate and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The popcorn comes in a huge tub, often heaping with more than 120 ounces of popcorn at roughly 1,500 calories. Your best deal is a plain, soft pretzel 5.5 ounces at about 400 calories — but beware of those huge pretzels 7-8 ounces, which have about 700 calories. However, your best bet, and definitely the healthiest choice a 6-ounce fruit cup — only 80 calories each.
Even though snow cones use about 1-2 ounces of flavored syrup at almost 60 calories an ounce, they aren't too bad compared with other game-time snacks: a 12-ounce snow cone has as many as 120 calories. Beer is not that bad, either, but the draft beer served at the stadium comes in 20-ounce cups, which means about 240 calories. Get a light draft if you can, and you'll save 60 calories for a 20-ounce serving. Soda is definitely not a bargain at about 230 for 20 ounces.

Wang the Drum Slowly
Runey Davis reached base twice on a double and a walk and scored two runs, leading the EXST Cubs to a 7-2 victory over the EXST A's in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action at Papago Park Field #2 in Phoenix this morning.
The game was a pre-planned 7-1/2 affair with the Cubs playing as the "home" team even though the game was played at the A's minor league complex, because the A's only had enough healthy and rested pitchers available to throw seven innings, while the Cubs needed at least eight opponent's innings to get their scheduled pitchers enough work.
Rebel Ridling (appendectomy with complications) once again was a DH, getting five Plate Appearances in the first six innings. He struck out twice and bounced out weakly two other times, before ripping an RBI single to left in his fifth and final AB.
19-year old 6'0 180 Taiwanese RHP Yao-Lin Wang made his first EXST appearance, going three innings and allowing one run on six hits and a walk. He helped himself by getting a clutch strikeout after the A's loaded the bases in the 1st inning, and his teammates helped him in the 3rd inning, turning an inning-ending 5-4-3 DP with two runners on base.
There are two Wangs from Taiwan at Extended Spring Training with the Cubs. Yao-Lin (today's pitcher) is slightly younger and a LOT shorter. (Both Wangs were signed last summer by ex-Cub LHP Steve Wilson, who is now the Cubs Pacific Rim Scouting Coordinator).
Here is today's abridged box score (EXST Cubs players only):
NOTE: DH #1 Rebel Ridling batted in five of the first six innings, getting five Plate Appearances total in the game.
X. Rebel Ridling, DH #1: 1-5 (4-3, K+WP, K, 1-3, 1B, R, RBI)
1. Francisco Guzman, CF: 0-2 (1-3, 6-3, BB, R, RBI)
2. D. J. Fitzgerald, LF: 1-3 (F-9, K, 1B, 2 RBI)
3. Bobby Wagner, 1B: 0-3 (K, K, K)
4. Brandon May, 3B: 1-3 (L-4, 2B, K)
5. Jonathan Mota, C-DH: 0-3 (P-5, 6-3, P-6)
6. Runey Davis, RF: 1-1 (2B, BB, 2 R)
7. Jae-Hoon Ha, DH-C: 1-1 (F-7 SF, 1B, R, RBI)
8. Wes Darvill, SS: 1-2 (P-5, 1B, R)
9. Rafael Disla, 2B: 1-2 (K, 1B, R, RBI)
10a. Cody Shields, DH #3: 0-0 (BB)
10b. Albert Hernandez, PH: 0-0 (BB)
1. Yao-Lin Wang – 3.0 IP, 6 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 1 GIDP, 3/4 GO/FO, 50 pitches (31 strikes)
2. Jesse Ginley – 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1/4 GO/FO, 28 pitches (17 strikes)
3. Rogelio Carmona – 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 0 K, 1/5 GO/FO, 34 pitches (21 strikes)
4. Yohan Gonzalez – 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1/2 GO/FO, 12 pitches (6 strikes)
SS Wes Darvill E-6 (fielding error allowed batter to reach base – did not score)
Jae-Hoon Ha – 2 PB
ATTENDANCE: 2 (but the other guy left early, probably because he wanted to beat the traffic out of the parking lot)
WEATHER: Overcast and blustery, temperatures in the 60's (obviously held the crowd down)

Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
Hey Phil,
In your estimation, where do you think the Cubs go with their first round pick this summer? I'd think that a catcher seems to make sense, since it really doesn't seem like we have any "bona-fide" prospects up through the system, when there are several infield prospects and outfield prospects that will be making their way through the system.
Also, do you think you could shed some light on what players could be heading to Peoria soon here, what the team at Boise could look like, and who will stay behind for the AZL Cubs? I'm just trying to find a way to burn some time and think up crazy scenarios in order to delay doing my chemistry lab report. Thanks as always
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
While I know EXST stands for Extended Spring Training, at first glance, I always think it's an abbreviation for "Existential" or "Existence", thus reading something like, "...leading the Existential Cubs to a 7-2 victory over the Existential A's in...(etc.)"
I like the sound of "Existential" Cubs. Sounds deep and meaningful.
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
I plan to someday secede from Indiana to form the state of enlightenment. I'll let some of you guys in so long as you stay in line
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
Az Phil:
Your explainations and summaries are just great. Thanks.
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
Phil - I don't know if you ever get tired of hearing our thanks, but I can't tell you how fun it is to read about these daily games where you are are almost the only person who cares enough to show up. You are an absolute GEM, Phil! If ever get a chance to meet you, all beers are on me!
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
I agree completely - you are a god, Phil
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
A little Philacio never hurt anybody.
I really appreciate your posts, too, Phil. And thank you so much for answering our questions about specific players. With six leagues plus EXST and the AFL, it's damn near impossible to follow the minors without some help, and you provide top-notch expertise for bargain basement prices. The least we can do is gush from time to time.
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
"The least we can do is gush from time to time."
Speaking of Philacio...
Re: Wang the Drum Slowly
For the win.

Don't know if Cubs will recover from "spanking" Gordo
2nd in defensive WAR, NL.
6th in NL in RBI
Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.

Much of the time, you'll be creating mockups in Fireworks, be they for Web sites, Interfaces or even AIR applications. Fireworks have a variety of tools and workflow enhancements to make this job of laying out a design an easier and faster one. In this Video, we'll look at some of the old faithful Layout devices: Rulers, Guides and Grids, and we'll use some of these to move one Image into an existing design. We've got two Files open here right now, my mockup_index_working and my video_placeholder png File, and you'll find both of these in the Chapter_01 Folder. One thing I'd like to do before I get started on Design is make sure that I have some features up and running, and one of those is the Rulers.
So I'm going up to my View menu, and I'm going to choose Rulers, and this gives me my X and Y coordinates for my Layout. Now the Ruler's only unit of measure in Fireworks is Pixels. You won't find inches, or picas, or centimeters, or kilometers, or anything like that here. We're dealing with screen-based material, so the only unit of measure, that we're going to really need to worry about, is pixels. Now as I move my cursor around on the screen, take a look at the Top Ruler and also the Left-hand Ruler, and you'll notice we get a little marker. I'm going to move around to both the 800 pixels across and about 100 pixels down, and you'll see that I get slightly different marker measurements, getting basically a real-time display of where my cursor is currently located, little vertical and horizontal lines, will give me that indication.
So that can come in handy, so I can tell, relatively accurately, where I'm currently placing my cursor. You can also Reset the Rulers to start at a different measuring point, so if I go to over to my upper-left corner, in that spot between the two Rulers, I can literally click and drag a Marker across, and I can decide that what used to be 700 pixels across is now going to be my new 0 point, just like that. So I can change the Location of the Rulers, their starting points. If I don't like what I see here, I can just go back to that Origination Point in the upper-left corner, double -click, and I reset the Rulers back to their normal settings.
Now another reason I have Rulers visible is that they help you bring in Guides, and we see some Guides already onscreen here, these bright kind of blue-y, green lines are actually Guides. As I move my cursor over them, you'll see that I get a double-headed Icon, which means I can literally click and reposition the Guide anywhere I want it to go. I let go over the mouse. If I press Ctrl+Z on Windows, or Command+Z on the Mac, I'll undo that change in Guides. Now Guides are brought in by dragging them from the Rulers, so if I go up top here, you'll see that I can move and click and drag, right from the Ruler area, I can drag in a brand-new Guide.
I'm just going to position this a little bit lower, and let go for a minute, and I am going to scroll down a bit. Now again, because these Guides are editable, I can move and reposition that Guide anywhere I like. So I'll just put my mouse back over it and start dragging down to about there. It's all about 1250 pixels down in the design, and I'll let go the mouse, just like that. Now the thing about Guides is that they can be very helpful placing Elements, but you can get quite a few of them onscreen. Now if you want to simplify your workspace, you can go up to the View menu and just a little bit lower, below Rulers, you'll see Guides.
Now if I move my mouse over that, you'll see I've got four choices: I can Show Guides. I can Lock Guides. I can Snap to Guides, and I can Clear them. Now show is pretty obvious. That shows them up. Locking them takes away my ability to drag them around on the canvas. So if I want to keep them in place, once I've set them, I can choose the Lock the Guides, and they won't get moved unless I choose to Unlock them. Snapping to Guides means that as I drag in or move around objects on my canvas, as they get close to the Guides, vertically or horizontally, they'll snap to the Guide Edge, so it's a nice way to help align things, rather neatly.
And then Clearing Guides would just literally clean off all the Guides from the Design. So I think I'm going to leave Show Guides for now, and I'm going to keep my Snap to Guides. They're going to come in handy in just a minute. Okay, I'm just going to click away from everything. Now as I mentioned, one of the things we want to do here is bring in an Image to fill in the space below Explorers Podcast. I want to bring in a Photo here that's going to basically be a placeholder for a Video. I got both of those Files open. As I mentioned earlier, there's video_ placeholder.png, and I'm going to pull in the technique that we talked about in the previous movie.
I'm going to Split these two Windows. So I'm going to grab my video_ placeholder tab, and I'm going to drag it to the point between my panel dock and my Current Document Window area. And when I see that blue highlight show up, I'll let go the mouse. So now I've got that Split View again, and I'm just going to drag in between the two Windows to reposition the sizing. I want to see a bit more of my Web site Design than I do the Photo. Photo is not really important in this point, because we're moving this Photo into our Web Design.
I'll scroll down a little bit, just so I can see that area where I've got that empty space. So you'll notice I've got a vertical Guide that was there when we opened the File, and I've dragged in that horizontal Guide. These two Guides are going to help me place this little placeholder Image. So I'm going to move over to my video_placeholder. I want to make sure my Pointer tool is still selected, and that's the Back Arrow that we see up here, and I'm going to click and drag across. I'm going to place that right at the edges of those two Guides.
And just as you get close within above five Pixels, the Image will snap to those Guides, and when I let go over the mouse, it gets dropped in exactly in place. So it's a great way that sort of line things up without having to work with the Align tool, right away, you've got the ability there to sort of snap things in the place. Now one last feature I want to show you is Grids. I'm going to close down my video_placeholder Image. I don't need it anymore. I'm not going to Save it and sort of maximizes my View for my Web Design here. I'm going to go back to my View menu again, and the option I want next is the Grid option.
And again, I do have choices here, so when I mouse over Grid, I see I can Show the Grid. I can Snap to the Grid, and I can Edit the Grid. We'll look at the Editing Grid in just a minute. So if I choose Show Grid, up comes a Grid, basically chart paper for the screen, and very much like the Guides, objects that are placed inside my Design can snap to these Gridlines. Now the difference between Gridlines and Guides is that you can't independently change the location of a specific Guideline, okay. If you wanted to have that kind of control, you're going to be working with Guides rather than the Grid.
But If I go back to my View menu, so I've got the ability here inside the Grid menu to snap to the Grid. By default, you don't Snap to the Grids, so I cant choose that option, and that will allow the objects that are inside my Design. If I move them around, it will actually Snap them to specific locations on the Grid, just like so. Now the other option I have in there, under Grid, is to Edit the Grid, and if I click on this option, I get a little Dialog Box here that allows me to change the color of the Grid and also to change the actual distances between the Grids.
So the color right now is just kind of, again, bright blue, very similar to the Guides, and it really is your choice what you choose, color-wise, whatever works for you. But if you want to change the color, just click on the little color box, and you can pick from the color picker here. You can even go and choose the Main Windows Color Picker and pick a different Color if you want to. I'll just press the Escape key to get out of the Color selections. My main concern usually is the actual distance. Now the neat thing about the Grid is you don't have to have a perfect square. You could create different distances horizontally and vertically.
I tend to like to keep it in the square format, if I'm going to work with the Grid, but I like to have it in even numbers, basically units of ten. So rather than 36 pixels, I'm going to change this to 40. And when I click OK, my Grid will resize based on that. Now, why units of ten? Honestly, typically, when I build out a Web Design, I'm building it based on a measure of ten anyway, so it's 960x1200 or 760x420. I'm dealing with units of measure that are going to be easily divisible by ten anyway.
So that tends to make it a little easier for me to make the Grid useful. Once you're done with the Grid, or if you're finding that's a little bit too busy on your screen, just go back up to the View menu, and go to Grids, and you can click on Show Grid again. That will hide the Grid, so it's not visible anymore. Two last things I want to show you about working with Guides and Grids, and that's more of the Global Preferences for editing those options. So if I go up to my Edit menu, I can choose Preferences, and if you're on the Mac, you just go to Fireworks and choose Preferences from there. So I'll click on Preferences and we see a few different categories here. The one I'm interested in is Guides and Grids.
And here, again, is where I can change some of the Settings we saw earlier, but also I have a lot more control over changes. You see there's my Guide color. There's my Grid color. You can also change the colors of other features. We're going to be looking at some of these in future movies, such as Slice Guide, Smart Guides and 9-slice scaling Guides. But down below here, this is what I really wanted to focus on: Snap Distance and Grid Settings. Now Snap Distance basically is your way of telling Fireworks how close do I have to get to a Grid or to a Guide before my object jumps right over to it? And the Default Setting here is five, and that tends to work fairly well.
If you're working with a smaller Grid, you may want to have a smaller value. If you're working with a larger Grid, maybe 100x100 pixels, you might want to have a larger Snap Distance. It's really up to you, and you decide what works for you. I'm going to leave the Default of Five there, and Grid Settings, down below, that's the defaults we saw earlier. I'm just going to change these, 40x40, like so. And I can also determine, right from this location, whether I want to Show my Guide, or Show my Grids, whether I want to Snap objects to them, whether I want to Lock down the ones that are lockable.
All these things are controllable right from the Preferences panel. Any Settings I change here are basically set globally for Fireworks. So I'm just going to click OK, and I'm going back to my document. So there are some of the basic Layout tools in Fireworks. Getting comfortable with these tools can help speed up your Design process, and make things a lot more accurate as you're moving through your Project.
