England wanted to put the World Cup behind them but the memories came flooding back as Tony Smith's men struggled to make a confident start to the Gillette Four Nations.
Trailing 12-4 at half-time, England rallied to score 30 points without reply in the second half to get their campaign under way with an unimpressive 34-12 victory over a lively France at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium.
"We were a long way off where we'd like to be and where we're going to be, hopefully," acknowledged Smith.
"This group of players have had three training sessions together as a team and to get cohesion and an A1 performance together after three days is pretty tough."
It was reminiscent of the way England limped into the World Cup 12 months earlier with a 32-22 victory over brave Papua New Guinea, the supposed makeweights of the group who had led at half-time.
England followed that hollow win with a 52-4 rout by Australia and they need a dramatic improvement on last night's showing if they are to avoid another humiliation at the hands of the Kangaroos in Wigan next Saturday.
"I wasn't too bothered about the first half. We weren't terrific but I just thought we lacked a little composure," he added.
"I think my players were a bit excited about playing. I think they wanted to go out there and show everyone how good they were in the first 40 minutes.
"In the second half we did show that composure, so I'm pleased we can learn quickly and we'll need to."

Nutrition Philosophy
Jay Wolkoff's health journey and extensive studies both inside and outside of the classroom has brought him to the belief that there is no "one size fits all diet" that works for everybody and all of the time. Rather different people are adapted towards different diets and sometimes the ideal diet has to be further tweaked based upon your emotional and physical health status activity level, budgetary considerations, philosophical beliefs, and other considerations.
Some guiding principals that go into any nutrition intervention:
* Modern research into the ever changing, confusing, and often times conflicting field of nutrition
* Finding a healthy balance between the scientific consensus and best practices of pioneers in the field
* Wisdom gleaned from indigenous and traditional societies noted for their robust health
* Appreciation for ancient medical traditions that have stood the test of time
The most important consideration of course is finding a way to make this all work for you!

Track of the Day: "Do You Rock?" - TC (Official Music Video)
Finish off your Sunday right with a fresh little piece of UKF Drum & Bass from TC. This banging new music video has enough energy to make you feel like the weekend's just getting started. D&B is as diverse of an EDM genre as it gets, and TC takes that to the next level. With Trap influences, robotic voices, and a jumping bass break, "Do You Rock?" is quite the catchy tune, and one you'll have stuck in your head by the end. So ask yourself, can you ROCK?

Tagged: Major League Baseball
Because The Game Is On The Schedule
True professional ball players continue playing hard even when the game means nothing. Baseball changes gears in August. The trade deadline has passed, the contenders and pretenders made moves, and the teams with no hope for the Postseason continue their march through the remaining season. The Major League season is a long, tough journey of 162 games in six months. No weekends off and few true off days with no games or travel. Baseball is a hard game played by hard people.
No matter how much a player loves the game, playing for a lost cause is difficult. Few are surprised by the losses piled up by the Marlins and Orioles, yet players continue playing hard in this long season. Imagine doing that over an entire career.
The Mariners began 2019 winning 13 of their first 15 games. Things were looking up for Seattle's Kyle Seager. In eight seasons with Seager, the closest the Mariners have come to the Postseason was finishing second, nine games behind the Rangers and three out of the Wild Card in 2016. The October drought for Seattle and Seager appeared ready to end after the hot start this season, but it was a mirage. The Mariners are 35-69 since and are 10 games out of fourth place in the American League West. Kyle Seager continues extending his lead as the active player with the most games played without playing in the Postseason. He has played 1218 games, 200 more than second place, Jean Segura.
Kyle Seager plays hard, even though most days there is nothing to play for in Seattle. (Stephen Brashear/ Getty Images)
Kyle Seager is outpacing his contemporaries, but he is not halfway to breaking the all time record. 2,528 career regular season games played, zero Postseason games. Mr Cub, Ernie Banks, sits atop the career leader board of being a true professional. The always cheerful Banks had two brushes with the Postseason. On August 16, 1969, the Cubs led the Mets and Cardinals by nine games. Chicago then proceeded to finish the season 17-26, including an eight game losing streak. The streaking Mets raced past Chicago on their was to a World Series Championship.
In 1970, the Cubs finished five games behind the Pirates. Chicago led Pittsburgh by five games in mid-June before falling and remaining a few games behind the Pirates for the rest of the season. Banks was a part time player in 1970, retiring retire after the 1971 season. Mr. Cub never played October baseball. Luke Appling, Mickey Vernon, and Buddy Bell can relate. This quartet are the only members of the 2,400 games played without playing in the Postseason club. No one wants to join the club.
Pitchers have time to think between games, a luxury not given to position players. Even Mike Marshall and his record 106 relief appearances for the 1974 Dodgers, had days off. Zach Duke and Steve Cishek have pitched the most games among active pitchers without pitching in the Postseason. Duke has appeared in 570 games, but never a Playoff game. He was on two Postseason teams, the 2011 Diamondbacks and 2012 Nationals. However, both were quickly eliminated before Duke pitched. While Duke has the most games pitched without pitching in a Playoff game, Steve Cishek has not even sat on the bench during the Postseason. Cishek has pitched in 556 games, but not one in the Postseason. While Duke and Cishek are due a Postseason reward, they are not alone as Felix Hernandez's greatness was wasted in Seattle. King Felix has 411 career starts, but none in the Postseason. Seattle last made the Postseason in 2001, four seasons before Hernandez arrived. Despite Hernandez's dominance, the Mariners have finished within 10 games of the Division winner just twice in his career, 2007 and 2016. Injuries and a rebuilding team does not give much hope for King Felix to ever pitch in the Postseason.
Even perfection on the mound could not help Felix Hernandez reach the Postseason. (Dean Rutz/ The Seattle Times)
Pitchers give their arms to baseball and Lindy McDaniel was no different. He pitched in the most Regular Season games, 987, without pitching in the Postseason. The closest McDaniel came to the Postseason was in 1966 while pitching for the Giants. San Francisco was tied for the National League lead on September 1 before losing seven of their next 10 games. The Giants never recovered, losing the Pennant to the hated Dodgers by 1.5 games. McDaniel is not alone in never tasted October baseball. Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins made 594 career starts, the most ever without pitching in the Postseason. The majority of his career was with the Cubs as they sought to exercise the Curse of the Billy Goat, yet Jenkins' closest brush with October was with another cursed team, the Red Sox. In 1977, Boston battled the Yankees and Orioles all season, but when the Red Sox lost their lead in mid-August their season was over. The Red Sox and Orioles both finished 2.5 games behind the Yankees. Jenkins spent a few seasons pitching for the Rangers before returning to Wrigley in the twilight of his career. Never again coming close to October baseball.
Professional baseball is a grind. The excitement of the season wanes as the summer heat punishes players marching through the Regular Season. The season's true dog days are in August for teams with nothing left to achieve. Some players are seeking new contracts or securing jobs, while others are playing just because it is their job. Hustling down the line, making a diving catch, sacrificing your body becomes more difficult when the season is lost but there are still games on the schedule. While baseball focuses on those making a Postseason push, remember the rest of baseball are professionals and continue to play hard. They show up everyday because the game is on the schedule.

"Mark my words a man will land on the moon before Gaylord Perry hits a home run."
Giants manager Alvin Dark's response when Harry Jupiter of the San Francisco Examiner told him Gaylord Perry was looking good during batting practice in 1964. Perry, like most pitchers, was not a threat with the bat, just his arm. Pitchers are paid to get outs not hit baseballs. Few were ever better at pitching while having minimal ability to hit a baseball than Gaylord Perry.
The Space Race was in high gear in 1964. Both the Soviet Union and the United States had achieved space flight and cosmonauts and astronauts were following Yuri Gagarin, Alan Shepard, and John Glenn into Space. President John F. Kennedy committed America to "achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth." After Kennedy's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson sought to fulfill the mission. Project Mercury was winding down as Project Gemini ramped up. Glenn's three orbits of the earth two years earlier was light years behind Gordon Cooper's day long Space flight.

Back on earth, 25 year old Gaylord Perry was establishing himself as a Major League pitcher. Entering his third season, Perry was 4-7 with a 4.46 ERA in 119 innings. Alvin Dark and the Giants were just two seasons removed from winning the National League Pennant. San Francisco was once again among the front runners for the Pennant and Dark needed every player to contribute in the field and at bat. Space was on everyone's mind and Perry could not hit.
Gaylord Perry finished the 1964 season 12-11 with a 2.75 ERA in 206.1 innings, the best of his young career. However, Dark's words about Perry's hitting abilities appeared true. Perry went 3 for 56 at the plate, a .054 Batting Average, .071 OBP, .071 SLG, and .156 OPS. His -56 OPS+ was otherworldly, considering a 100 OPS+ means a player is league average. Gaylord Perry was 156% worse than an average Major League hitter.
Gaylord Perry pitched for 22 seasons for eight different teams, most notably the Giants. Perry won 314 games with a 3.11 ERA and 1.181 WHIP in 5,350 innings. He struck out 3,534 batters while throwing 303 Complete Games, including 53 Shutouts. Perry was elected to five All Star Games, and won a Cy Young Award in each league (1972 for Cleveland and 1978 for the Padres). He won 20 or more games five times. Throwing 10 or more Complete Games in 12 consecutive seasons. Perry's durability on the mound allowed him to pitch 205+ innings in 15 consecutive seasons. Always taking his turn in the rotation, Perry pitched 300 innings six times, including four straight from 1972 to 1975. Perry was elected to Cooperstown in 1991 in his third year of eligibility.

Success on the mound meant nothing for Gaylord Perry's legendary anemic abilities with the bat. In 1,076 career At Bats, he collected only 141 Hits, 23 for extra bases, a .131 Batting Average. He scored 48 Runs, drove in 47 RBI, drew 22 walks, and struck out 369 times. Gaylord Perry posted a career .153 OBP, .164 SLG, .316 OPS, and -10 OPS+. He was a liability at the plate.
1964 was Alvin Dark's final season as Giants manager. He managed the Kansas City Athletics for two seasons before managing the Cleveland Indians. In 1969, five years after Dark's proclamation to Harry Jupiter little had changed for Perry at the plate. Gaylord Perry, at this point in his career, was a .141 hitter now with no Home Runs. His four extra base hits were all doubles.
Entering the game against the Dodgers on July 20, Perry's season Batting Average was just .100. While the world waited for news of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the Giants and Dodgers began their game at Candlestick Park. Not long after first pitch, at 1:18 PM Pacific Standard Time, Armstrong told the world "The Eagle has landed." As Armstrong and Aldrin prepared to take the first steps on the moon, Perry surrendered three runs to Los Angeles in the top of the first. The scored remained 3-0 entering the bottom of the third, with Dodger starter Claude Osteen facing the minimum. Hal Lanier flew out to second baseman Ted Sizemore. Bob Barton followed by grounding out to Bill Sudakis at third. The San Francisco faithful had little hope as Gaylord Perry stepped to the plate. Shocking everyone, Perry drove Claude Osteen's pitch over the outfield wall. Alvin Dark had no idea his proclamation five years earlier prove correct, but by just 30 minutes. Perry sparked a Giants comeback, as San Francisco defeated the rival Dodgers 7 to 3. Gaylord Perry pitched a Complete Game, allowing three Runs, six strikeouts, and no Home Runs.
Alvin Dark was mostly right about Gaylord Perry and the Moon landing. A man was on the Moon, when Perry hit his Home Run but had not walked on it. (NASA)
Gaylord Perry hit six career longballs. He hit one each season from 1969 to 1972. San Francisco traded Perry to Cleveland and after three and a half seasons, Cleveland sent him to the Rangers. Perry did not bat in the American League because of the Designated Hitter. Returning to the National League with the Padres in 1978, Perry needed a season to warm up before going deep again in 1979. He spent 1980 split between the Rangers and Yankees, before hitting his sixth and final Home Run for the Braves in 1981 at the age of 42.
Known for his pitching and lackluster abilities at the plate, Gaylord Perry was destined for baseball greatness. It took a frustrated manager, an optimistic sportswriter, and the Space Race to create the perfect cosmic storm. Alvin Dark never dreamed he was foreshadowing Perry's first career Home Run. Yet the stars and the moon aligned to create one of the most memorable moments in baseball history.
The Best of the Best?
All Star voting is over and the starters for the Mid-Summer Classic are set. On July 9th, Cleveland hosts the 90th MLB All Star Game with the best players taking the field, in theory. Baseball altered the election process this year for All Star starters. It is an important step towards ensuring the best players are All Stars each season.
MLB continues the mass voting fans are accustomed to, giving every player the opportunity to be elected. This year however the top three vote getters at each position faced a runoff for the right to start the All Star Game. This extra layer of voting helps guard against a pure popularity contest, forcing voters to reexamine players a second time. While it is not a perfect system, it is a step in the right direction. Players still need fan support, but the second round of voting helps prevent players like Aaron Judge from starting the All Star Game with just 32 games played for the Yankees this season. Judge is talented, but he is not an All Star this season; he finished fourth, just missing an undeserved All Star Game. Houston's Carlos Correa finished third among American League Shortstops. He has placed 50 games this season, more than Judge, but not enough to earn the honor of starting the All Star Game. MLB ought to establish a minimum games played threshold for All Star voting eligibility.
Judge and Correa should play in many future All Star Games, just not this season. If the idea of the All Star Game is to have the best players on the field, some high priced talent will miss out. Manny Machado and Bryce Harper were not voted into the All Star Game by the fans. Big free agent contracts do not guarantee All Star Games. The fans elect who they want to play, but even this idea has been an issue in the past.
Tommy Pham raised a good point that All Star voting is unfair. MLB changed the voting process this season, but more may need to be done. (www.calltothepen.com)
Before the Big Red Machine began dominating baseball, it was the Cincinnati fans causing havoc. In 1957, Cincinnati fans so over stuffed the ballot box that seven Reds were elected to the All Star Game in St. Louis. Stan Musial was the only non-Reds starter. The farce forced Commissioner Ford Frick to step in, replacing two Reds players, Wally Post and Gus Bell, with Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Frick went further, revoking the fan All Star vote until 1970.
Ballot stuffing continued in the computer age. In 1999 a computer programmer electronically stuffed the ballot for Boston's Nomar Garciaparra. When discovered, Garciaparra lost 25,259 ill gotten votes, though he still started the All Star Game at Fenway Park over Derek Jeter.
The 2015 Kansas City Royals brought back memories of the 1957 Reds. Leading up to the All Star Game, fittingly played in Cincinnati. Eight Royals led at their respective positions. There was not a repeat of 1957, as Kansas City ultimately had four All Star starters. A single team having a stranglehold on the All Star Game may not be in the best interest of baseball, even if they win the World Series like the Royals in 2015.
The Mid-Summer Classic returns to Cleveland for the first time since 1997 and to an American League ballpark for the first time since Minnesota hosted in 2014. The All Star Game is an exhibition. Yes the winning league gets home field advantage in the World Series, but this only impacts two teams. I doubt the Orioles and Marlins representatives will fight with extra vigor to secure home field advantage should their team have a miraculous second half turn around. The All Star Game is about seeing the best in the game play together one night a year. Interleague play has somewhat diluted the intrigue of the All Star Game. National League fans can see Mike Trout and American League fans can see Nolan Arenado more than one night a year. Despite the waning of the All Star Game's novelty, the game is still important for growing the game and the enjoyment of the fans.
MLB is right to tweak the All Star Game voting process. It will never be perfect. Some deserving players are snubbed each year, but this is better than a return to fans are having no vote. Baseball must keep the fans involved, but there are limits. A small portion of fans in the past ruined the fun of voting. MLB should continue to tweak the process from year to year. There will never be a perfect All Star Game, but the change to two rounds of voting is a good first step.
Rocky Mountain Baseball
Baseball is a team sport. Individual players do not guarantee World Series Championships, if they did Mike Trout and the Angels would have several Fall Classic victories already. Baseball fandom is the same way, individuals can enjoy the game, but baseball with friends is always better. Watching a baseball game on TV or in the stands, allows people to indulge themselves with the game and pause the rest of the world. Watching with your friends is even better as you self indulge and grow your friendship.
Bernie, Kevin, and I met in graduate school. Bernie and I met when he kicked a water bottle out of my hand at shoulder level to prove he could to someone. Critical life skills. I met Kevin through Bernie and other mutual friends. Unfortunately Kevin does not possess the same skills as Bernie, so our friendship followed a more usual path. Our individual love of baseball quickly became apparent, which after graduation led to our annual baseball road trip. This year we ventured to Denver to watch the Colorado Rockies host the Toronto Blue Jays in a three game weekend series.
Coors Field is a beautiful venue to watch baseball. The stadium was built after baseball realized cookie cutter stadiums were boring. Even the seats tucked behind support columns in right field have a good view of the field. Fans do not feel like they are passing through a cave when they are walking around Coors Field. You can see the field as you circle the lower level. Coors Field embraced the radical concept of fan comfort and enjoyment of their day at the ballpark.
Game 1- Friday
Coors Field has many great view points to watch a game. Our first night in Denver we sat in the Left Field bleachers, the Rockpile. The view was outstanding. We were aligned with first and second base, perfect for watching both teams turn a double play. The true artistry of baseball is lost on TV, players gracefully gliding across the diamond, a ballet in spikes.
Edwin Jackson started for Toronto, pitching for his record 14th MLB franchise, surpassing former teammate Octavio Dotel. Jackson entered the game with a 9.00 ERA in three starts for the Blue Jays. In the top of the first, Toronto drew two walks before a double play and a ground out ended any hope for early runs against German Marquez. In the bottom of the first, the first five Rockies reached base. Colorado scored four runs on three hits, including a two run home run by Trevor Story, a walk, and David Dahl reached on a strike three wild pitch. Jackson did strike out the side in the middle of the mess.
The Blue Jays fought back in the top of the second, with a lead off home run by Randal Grichuk and Cavan Biggio scoring on a Luke Maile RBI groundout. Colorado scored a run in the second and five in the third forcing Jackson out of the game. He gave up 10 runs in just 2.1 innings, ballooning his ERA to 13.22. Relieving Jackson was Elvis Luciano, the first MLB player born in the 2000's. A Nolan Arenado RBI double in the fifth off Luciano and another two run home run by Story off Sam Gaviglio in the seventh gave Colorado a commanding 13 to 2 lead.
Toronto made one final push in the eighth inning. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a lead off solo home run on the first pitch from Chris Rusin, in to relieve Marquez after seven innings. Grichuk scored Brandon Drury on a sacrifice fly to right. Jake McGee came in to relieve Rusin with the bases loaded. Rusin faced six batters, allowing two runs, four hits, and a walk. McGee walked Maile to score Lourdes Gurriel and a sacrifice fly to right center scored Biggio before shutting Toronto down. Both teams had lead off hits in the ninth, only to leave runners stranded. The Rockies' early onslaught was too much for the Blue Jays, as Colorado won 13 to 6.
Game 2- Saturday
We always pick good seats for one game, usually the best pitching matchup. Saturday night was Marcus Stroman against Jon Gray. Both Righties, so we sat just beyond Third Base, 11 rows from the field. Stroman is a master at altering his delivery to fool batters. It is difficult for hitters to time Stroman when he is unpredictable. Gray is a solid pitcher for the Rockies, which has often been a difficult task at Coors Field.
After the drumming Toronto took Friday night, one might expect the Blue Jays to come out with some energy. Nope. The Blue Jays went down in order in the top of the first. In the bottom of the first, Stroman allowed four consecutive hits, three singles and a double, giving Colorado a 3 to 0 lead. Toronto mustered only a single, weakly hit infield as they took the field in the bottom of the fifth. After Jon Gray struck out looking, Raimel Tapia stepped to the plate. Tapia lined a double to Centerfield on the first pitch, then circus music began to play. Centerfielder Jonathan Davis had trouble picking up the ball, allowing Tapia to reach third. On the relay throw, Second Baseman Cavan Biggio threw the ball out of play, awarding Tapia home. Yes Stroman allowed the hit, but his defense dug him an even deeper hole. The Rockies brought in Carlos Estevez in the ninth to close out the Blue Jays. He served up a lead off solo home run to Justin Smoak. Biggio reached on a Trevor Story throwing error and scored on a Danny Jansen double. Estevez eventually got the final out, securing the 4 to 2 Colorado victory.
Marcus Stroman is one of the most exciting young pitchers in baseball. However the young Toronto team has wasted his 2.84 ERA (post game), leaving him with a 3-7 record. Toronto is extremely young, hopefully Stroman gets help soon and does not become the American League Jacob deGrom.
Game 3- Sunday
Day baseball is perfection. The sun shining on the green grass, the extra white baseballs, the game is more alive. The Rockies were looking to sweep the Blue Jays in the final game of our baseball road trip. Toronto finally showing some life as Eric Sogard and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit back to back singles off Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela to begin the game. Justin Smoak grounded into a Fielder's Choice at first, scoring Sogard and giving the Blue Jays their first lead of the series. Again the offense could not sustain the momentum, scoring just one run despite sending seven batters to the plate. In the bottom of the first, Raimel Tapia lined out before Blue Jays' starter Aaron Sanchez surrendered consecutive singles to David Dahl, Nolan Arenado, and Daniel Murphy to tie the game.
Toronto went down in order in the second, third, and fourth. Colorado scored a run in the second and third. Our seats for the finale at Coors Field were in the upper deck, first base side. Looking out, the Rocky Mountains rose beyond left field. Sadly thunderstorms rolled through Denver, forcing us to retreat. Despite the huge raindrops from the soaking downpour, the game was not delayed. The rain faded and Chris Iannetta launched a lead off home run in the sixth that may not have returned to earth yet. Nolan Arenado hit a solo home run in the seventh extending the lead to 5 to 1. Justin Smoak walked to lead off the Toronto eighth, but was stranded by two fly outs and a Brandon Drury strike out. Luke Maile's single was Toronto's last gasp as Bryan Shaw struck out the side to complete the Colorado sweep.
The Rockies began the home stand 23-26, fourth in the NL West, 4.5 games behind the second Wild Card. They won eight of nine games on the home stand; winning two of three from the Orioles, before sweeping the Diamondbacks and Blue Jays. Colorado finished the home stand 31-27, second in the NL West, 0.5 games behind the second Wild Card; most likely saving their season.
Baseball is beautiful wherever it is played. A sandlot in Georgia, a high school field in Ohio, a Minor League park in Indiana, or a Major League park in Colorado. Since graduation we have scattered across the country, our annual baseball road trip allows us to get together, catch up, and enjoy the game we love. Our lives constantly change, yet baseball remains constant. Next year will be no different.
On The Road Again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again"
The line from the 1980 Willie Nelson classic On the Road Again, originally recorded in 1965 by Bob Dylan, especially resonates with me this time of year. Bernie, Kevin, and myself are just a week away from our third annual baseball road trip. Few, if any, days go by throughout the year without us talking baseball. Our love of the game led to the creation of our annual baseball road trip, which is now a fixture on the calendar.
The first year we met in Pittsburgh, as it was a good meeting place between Cincinnati and Washington D.C. We watched the Pittsburgh Pirates play the Mets on a Sunday night and then the Diamondbacks on a Monday day game. We played catch in a parking lot across the Allegheny River from the Park and had a full baseball weekend. What could be better than watching baseball at PNC Park and playing catch with friends.
Our first baseball road trip was to Pittsburgh, this year we head to Colorado. (The Winning Run/ DJ)
Last year, Kevin bailed on the road trip for an extended scouting trip in New Zealand. Bernie and I solidified the tradition without him with a true road trip. We met up in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he was for work and drove to Lansing. We played catch in Adado Riverfront Park before watching the Lansing Lugnuts take on the Dayton Dragons. The next day we drove to Detroit to see the Tigers play the Minnesota Twins. We tried both American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island in Detroit's ongoing Coney battle. The Fort Wayne TinCaps followed the next day, as they took on the West Michigan Whitecaps. Our final stop on our four games, four teams, in four days trip was to see the South Bend Cubs play the Lake County Captains on Mr. Rogers Day. Bernie has the jersey to prove it.
Bernie had the winning bid for the Mr. Rogers jersey worn by South Bends winning pitcher, Enrique De Los Rios. (The Winning Run/ BL)
Each trip means exploring a new city or two. Sampling the local culture and food scene. Indulging in baseball for a few days. Simply it is hanging out with friends. This year is no different. Kevin is back and the three of us are meeting to explore Denver and watch the Colorado Rockies host the Toronto Blue Jays in a three game series. This is the furthest our road trip has taken us from home, and for me it comes just a month before becoming a first time Dad. One last trip before Fatherhood truly begins. What better way to send it than with friends, at a baseball game, inside a Major League park I have never seen a game at before. I just can't wait to get on the road again.
Places To Go, People To See
There is getaway day and then there was September 28, 1919. The New York Giants hosted the Philadelphia Phillies in a doubleheader on the last day of the season. The first game, all nine innings lasted just 51 minutes, the fastest game in Major League history. MLB is eager to increase the pace of play, New York and Philadelphia may have taken this too far a century before pace of play was an issue. The game was the opposite of Dan Barry's Bottom of the 33rd.
It was the final day of the season, neither team won the pennant, and both teams knew the faster they played, the sooner they could head home for the winter. The Giants finished the season in second place, 9 games behind the eventual World Series champion Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati's World Series victory is a story for another day. Philadelphia's season was over in August, the Phillies finished last in the National League, 8th place, 47.5 games behind the Reds. The doubleheader was played simply because it was on the schedule.
The first game featured six future Hall of Famers; four players, a manager, and an umpire. Dave Bancroft was Philadelphia's future Hall of Fame shortstop. New York had future Hall of Famer Ross Youngs in Right Field, Frankie Frisch at Third, High Pockets Kelly at First, and manager John McGraw. Umpiring the game were Future Hall of Famer Bill Klem and the notorious Bob Emslie. Klem is the father of baseball umpiring, working a record 18 World Series. He was the first umpire to wear a chest protector, taught other umpires to call balls and strikes from the slot, and the first to use arm signals when making his calls. Emslie was the base umpire during Merkle's Boner in 1908. The controversial play earned him the despised nickname Blind Bob.

The Phillies got off to a great start, scoring in the top of the first inning. Lena Blackburne doubled and later scored thanks to an Art Fletcher error, giving Philadelphia a 1-0 lead. Philadelphia held the Giants scoreless in their turn at bat, and New York returned the favor in the top of the second.
In the bottom of the second, the Giants offense awoke. New York scored one in the second, three in the third, and two in the sixth on their way to a 6 to 1 victory. The Giants pounded out 13 hits, including five doubles, and drew three walks. Every Giants starter collected at least one hit; Larry Doyle and Art Fletcher collected two hits and High Pockets Kelly collected three hits. The final line for Phillies starting pitcher Lee Meadows was ugly: 8 innings (Complete Game), 13 Hits, 6 Runs, 5 Earned Runs, 3 walks, and 1 strikeout. Taking the loss, Meadows, who split the 1919 season between the Cardinals and Phillies, finished with a 12-20 record and 2.59 ERA.
The Phillies completed their anemic campaign on the final day of the season. Philadelphia collected five hits, one double, no walks, two strikeouts, scoring one unearned run. New York's Jesse Barnes pitched 9 innings (Complete Game), allowing 5 hits, 1 run, 0 earned runs, no walks, and 2 strikeouts. The victory gave Barnes his National League leading 25th victory, finishing with a 25-9 record and a 2.40 ERA. The Giants swept the Phillies, winning Game Two 7 to 1, closing the 1919 season and the career of Phillies' catcher Bert Adams.

Some games are historically significant for Major League Baseball, others are played because they are on the schedule. The Giants and Phillies played a doubleheader on September 28, 1919 because the games were on the schedule. While neither game altered the 1919 season or baseball history, the first game set an almost unbreakable record and gave insight into the future of both franchises.
The Phillies were just four seasons removed from their first World Series appearance, yet they were in the second of 14 consecutive losing seasons. The team would not return to the Fall Classic until 1950. The Phillies had just four winning season (1916, 1917, 1932, and 1949) between their first and second World Series appearances. The 1919 Phillies changed managers midseason. Jack Coombs began the season, managing the Phillies to an 18-44-1 record before he was replaced by Gavvy Cravath. Cravath finished the season 29-46. He would return to the Phillies for the 1920 before he was fired at seasons end, concluding his playing and managing career. Coombs went on to become the winningest baseball coach in Duke University history, winning 381 games over 24 seasons in Durham.
The Giants thrived with 28 winning seasons between 1919 and their move to San Francisco in 1957. They played in nine World Series, winning four. New York finished within five games of the National League pennant in seven other seasons. John McGraw managed the Giants until 1932, compiling 2,583 wins for New York. The Giants were a powerhouse.
One game, even if not important in the moment, can tell you so much about baseball and a franchise. Never underestimate a baseball game, regardless of the pace of play, or if it is played just because it is on the schedule.
The Jester of Baseball
Major League Baseball is roughly two years away from welcoming its 20,000th player. The overwhelming majority of players are not Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, or Mike Trout. They are players like Virgil Jester. While they do not have the accolades of those in Cooperstown, players like Jester helped build baseball into the game it is today.
Fooling your opponent is part of baseball. Deceiving a batter with a curveball. Catching the defense sleeping by stealing second base. These are fundamental parts of baseball. On April Fool's Day it seems fitting to highlight one of the players who despite not having a long, distinguished career deserves recognition for his contribution to the game. The only Jester in Major League history, Virgil Jester.
Virgil Jester was a star high school and college pitcher in Denver when he signed with the Boston Braves in 1947. He worked his way through the Minor Leagues before debuting with the Braves on June 18, 1952. Jester entered the game against the Cincinnati Reds in the top of the 7th inning with the score tied at 5. He struck out his first batter, Cal Abrams. The next batter, Andy Seminick, was not as kind, smacking a solo home run to give the Reds a 6-5 lead. In the 8th inning, Jester walked Bobby Adams before allowing a RBI double to Willard Marshall, extending the Reds lead to 7-5. The Braves scored a run in the bottom of the 8th, making it 7-6, but would get no closer. Jester pitched 2 innings, allowing 2 hits, 2 runs, walking 2, struck out 3, with a 9.00 ERA, and took the loss.
Virgil Jester was the winning pitcher in the Boston Braves' final victory before moving to Milwaukee. (www.baseball-reference.com)
The Braves final season in Boston was Virgil Jester's best. In 1952, he went 3-5 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.411 WHIP. He appeared in 19 games, starting 8, throwing 4 complete games, and 1 shutout. Jester pitched 73 innings allowing 80 hits, 31 runs, 27 earned runs, 5 home runs, walking 23 , striking out 25, and hitting 1 batter. Jester's season was capped with a complete game victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers on September 27th, the final Braves victory in Boston.
In 1953, the Braves moved to Milwaukee and Virgil Jester concluded his brief Major League career. He appeared in just two games. He pitched 2 innings, allowing 4 hits, 5 runs, a home run, 4 walks, no strikeouts, with a 22.50 ERA and 4.000 WHIP. Jester finished his career with a 3-5 record, 3.84 ERA, 1.480 WHIP, appearing in 21 games, 8 starts, 4 complete games, 1 shut out, pitching 75 innings, allowing 84 hits, 32 earned runs, 6 home runs, 27 walks, 25 strikeouts, and 1 hit batter.
Pitching got Virgil Jester to the Majors, however he was also a good hitting pitcher. In 22 plate appearances, he collected 4 hits, including a triple, scored 3 runs, 2 RBI, drew 1 walk, struck out 4 times, and posted a .211 BA, .250 OBP, .316 SLG, and .566 OPS.
Virgil Jester's career did not lead to enshrinement in Cooperstown. However he joined the elite group of players who have played baseball at the highest level. Fewer than 20,000 people have played in the Major Leagues. Virgil Jester played alongside the giants of the game. Only a select few have that opportunity, and Virgil Jester was among those who rose to the top. Even a fool can understand that.

Visited Renault Slough showroom UK. Was forced to put a deposit on a car. When asked for a refund, sales rep ignored my calls, refused to talk to me. How long should someone wait for a refund. Worst customer service in the car industry. Would never recommend anyone to visit Renault. Do they do the same with all their customers? Glad I didn't make a huge mistake and purchase from them. Let's hope I get my refund at some point.

Surrounded by a natural woodlot, ravine lands and the Cootes Paradise marsh, Hamilton's popular Churchill Park has been the site of a massive earth movement and trucking operation which resulted in a partial closure of the park last August.
But by June the low impact and relatively inexpensive project, which will usher a number of environmental benefits, is expected to be completed and the closed area reopened.
Undertaken by Brampton-based Metric Contracting Services, the $1.45-million project encompasses the excavation/construction of two rain gardens comprised of shallow above-grade dry ponds, each with large below-grade stormwater storage basins. The larger pond is equipped with a 4,300-square-metre (46,284 square-feet) basin and the second basin is 1,200 square metres (12,916 square feet) in size.
Designed by WSP Canada Inc., the garden system will relieve pressure on an at-capacity combined sewer system in adjacent residential areas, reduce the risk of basement flooding in the homes, and address drainage issues in the park itself.
Located in the south-end of the park, which is owned by the Royal Botanical Gardens and managed by the City of Hamilton, the rain gardens are intended to accommodate a 100-year storm, says project manager and city landscape architect Ken Wheaton.
Consisting of a range of levels with different materials such a 19-mm clear stone, a high draining soil filter media, a non-woven geotextile layer, and a clear stone "choke layer", the 1.45-metre-deep storage basins will retain the stormwater until it has a chance to filter through and into the ground. The choke layer is particularly effective in slowing and filtering the water, says Wheaton.
Below the basins is a network of 12- to 52-metre-long (129 to 559-foot) trenches (21 in total) which will disperse the water through a coarse layer of sand which extends across the site at varying depths.
"In large storms, there will be some surface ponding, but the system is designed to reduce the time that water stays on the surface of the ponds."
Site topography, existing baseball diamonds, and existing drainage catchment areas were some of the factors which determined the specific location of the gardens and why there are two. The larger garden includes an external catchment area along Parkside Drive, while the second will drain two baseball diamonds and a small portion of the park, Wheaton says.
Planning for the project began in 2010 under a master plan and management process which is regulated by the Niagara Escarpment Plan. Dillon Consulting Ltd. was the consultant for the plan which identified a series of "short, medium, and long-term" improvements such as adding forest cover.
A separate parallel plan was also undertaken in 2012 to review stormwater management in the park, plus basement flooding in some areas of the nearby Westdale community.
Many possible solutions were looked at in the 2012 stormwater study, including capital replacement and upsizing of sewer pipes. But the rain garden project was ultimately chosen as the preferred environmental solution, especially as the park was close to the residential areas, he says.
Detailed design by WSP Canada began in 2013 and was completed last year, with a tender being awarded in May and construction starting in August.
Using several different pieces of heavy equipment, Metric excavated 28,000 cubic metres (988,810 cubic feet) of earth, placed 19,000 tonnes of aggregate for the storage basins, as well as installing the various filtering levels.
The excavated soil, which was tested and conformed to Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) Table 1 soil standards criteria, was trucked to two local City of Hamilton construction projects to be used as fill, says Wheaton.
A number of measures were implemented to protect Cootes Paradise — a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve — the woodlot, and the rest of the park, he points out.
For example, silt sacks were inserted in the surrounding catch basins, a silt fence was installed around the entire perimeter of the site, and a 20-metre-long (65-foot) mud mat was installed at the access site to reduce mud-tracking from vehicles entering and exiting the site, he says.
Construction continued until last November. The plan is for Metric to return to the site later this spring — after the muddy conditions have cleared — to complete the final phases including building adjacent gravel pathways, and sodding and seeding the ponds with native seed cover. In about a year they will have transformed into naturalized wildflower areas.
Planning for a second phase rain garden in another section of the park is already underway, says Wheaton.

|What is Acupuncture?
|The development of Acupuncture
|What can Acupuncture help with?
|Acupuncture as a preventative medicine
|Acupuncture treatment
|Pregnancy Care at Livewell Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be effective for a range of conditions. However it is often misunderstood within our western culture just how this natural medicine works, and often people want quick answers and names of diseases that it can treat effectively. But the truth is because Acupuncture treats the person NOT the disease its scope for application is extremely broad. When coming for treatment a practitioner of Chinese medicine is very unlikely to isolate your specific condition or symptom as a focal point for treatment, instead all aspects of your being are considered, physical, mental and emotional.
The main aim is to balance the over all communication between your bodily systems, aiming to create balance on a much greater scale. As a result of this other health improvements are often seen in addition to the original problem. Although people turn to acupuncture for help with a specific symptom or condition, once improvement is seen many choose to have treatment time and time again to help maintain good health, as a preventive measure, or simply to improve their general sense of well being.

The sublime view of our blue planet from an elevated, external perspective, the idea of progressive expansion and the conquest of new territory, is leading us astray. Social injustice, migration, isolation and exclusion, environmental destruction and climate change show that there is nothing elevated about the people of the Anthropocene epoch, rather, they are always right in the middle of it all. There is no such thing as sheltered seclusion form the world, and there is no exterior. All life is tied to the 'Critical Zone' – a thin layer around our planet bearing air and water, only a few kilometres thick. What does this mean for our perception of the world, our actions and our coexistence?
Parting with the External does not only grapple with these questions theoretically, but transforms Kunstverein Freiburg into an experimental system serving the search for the 'terrestrial', a term coined by sociologist Bruno Latour. In collaboration with artists, academics, philosophers and visitors, featuring installations, performances, workshops, concerts and film screenings, Kunstverein Freiburg will become a laboratory for aesthetic collisions and unusual encounters. Contrasting the all-too-familiar catastrophe scenarios of the Anthropocene, the focus will be on mankind's creative potential, its responsibilities and possible courses of action. The starting point of the search is the artistic research deglobalize.com formed by Daniel Fetzner, Martin Dornberg and Ephraim Wegner. Their working results from India and Egypt will be presented in media installations.

Columnist to many; to me, he was Papa
By Kristen Vogt
Most of you know Don Russell as the columnist who frequently voiced his opinions on politics and every so often shared his stories of growing up in Stamford during the Depression.
I have grown up knowing him as Papa, the man who is responsible for some of my fondest childhood memories, a man whom I have admired ever since I can remember and quite often bragged about to my friends.
I must admit, I have never read my grandfather's column religiously. Every so often, I would search The Advocate's online archive for his articles. As much as I knew how he loved to write, he was always just Papa to me. Until now.
As I tried to grasp the fact that I will never speak to him on Earth again, I needed a way to feel connected, so I read. For hours I read anything and everything that I could find that he had written. I now know his feelings on health care, the streets of Stamford, Valentine's Day and cell phone use.
I then realized that reading his articles isn't what will make me feel more connected. Sitting down and doing exactly as he would have done may help the grieving process.
There is one particular article that he wrote that grabbed my attention. It was titled "Searching for heroes in the era of celebrities." In this column he asks, "Where have all the heroes gone?" I'm fairly certain he wasn't aware that he was a hero in my eyes.
I remember being in fifth grade when our class was doing a project on heritage. We were required to interview our grandparents about the "olden days" and the journey our great-grandparents took to Ellis Island. I have to be honest: I don't remember many of the specifics of our conversation, but I do remember the enthusiasm he showed during that conversation, and I know from that day forward, regardless of the fact that my physical traits confirm my Irish heritage, I have always been proud to be Italian.
I was blessed to have my Papa for 27 years, creating many memories that I will forever cherish. He would faithfully tell me the story each year of how he and my grandmother traveled from Stamford to New Hampshire the day I was born. Of course, the easy four-hour drive turned into a fiasco, but they made it. As my birthday approaches at the end of this month, I appreciate the fact that I will always have that memory drilled into my brain.
I regret the fact that when I was younger, I didn't value it as much as I do this day, but I'm convinced that's why he told me the story as many times as he did. He knew that one day I would look back and be grateful for those little moments of him being a proud grandfather.
During my childhood, I was certain my Papa was Santa Claus. He had most of the qualifications: rosy cheeks, round belly, twinkling eyes, and while he was lacking the beard and the reindeer, I figured that he didn't want to blow his cover.
One year -- I'm not exactly sure how old I was, but I was definitely nearing the age of losing my belief in all things magical -- Papa, of course, restored my faith. We had spent Christmas Eve at his house that year, and as I tossed and turned in the middle of the night, waiting for daybreak so I could wake up my parents, there was a "ho, ho, ho!" outside the window. I remember lying there paralyzed, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Whether it was Papa or Santa, at that point they were one in the same. He played dumb Christmas morning, but I could tell in his eyes that he knew that I knew his big secret.
This past Christmas, he renewed my faith once again. As he sat in a chair and handed his grandchildren and great-grandchildren cash-filled cards, instead of calling out the names of his reindeer one by one, he called out our names one by one. I was brought back to my childhood, and he was Santa all over again.
It's hard for me to accept the fact that I will not hear the birthday story this year, and that come Christmastime I will have to rely on spirit rather than flesh and blood. I have spent the last few days trying to recall as many memories as possible in fear of losing my Papa entirely. I then realized that he will be impossible to forget. I have his blood running through my veins and I am reminded of that each time I begin to write my thoughts on paper and the words flow so naturally.
My grandfather was an amazing man. He was a strong-willed, loving, courageous soul who touched the lives of many. I truly hope that he knows how big of an impact he had on me, even though I didn't visit him nearly enough, and could have picked up the phone more often. I hope he was aware of how much I looked up to him and respected him when, honestly, I don't think I ever came right out and said it. My Papa never hesitated to tell me he was proud of who I have become, but I never told him that I've always looked up to him and admired what he had accomplished in his lifetime.
The truth of the matter is, I never told my Papa a lot of the things I should have. I wish I could say I have a good excuse, but I really don't. While my grandfather may not be here in the flesh, he is still teaching me life lessons that I will carry with me and pass onto my children as they grow up. He will be missed dearly, and though I may not have told him all the things I should have, I will ensure that his legacy lives on in my children, and one day my grandchildren.
So, Papa, in response to your question "Who was the first astronaut to set foot on the moon?" it was Neil Armstrong. But he's nothing compared to you in my eyes.
Kristen Vogt lives in New Milford.

Wine Spectator Score
Submit a Critic ScoreClose
Dow's Lbv Port 2003
Winemaker's Notes:
Over the centuries, the Dow winemakers have evolved a style that suits the house's key vineyards; fermentations are a little longer, resulting in a drier Port Wine that has become the hallmark of Dow's. Abundant fruit flavours with hints of ripe blackberries, give elegance and poise to Dow's. The nose is deep and powerful with strong overtones of violets when young, these mature into fine cinnamon and rose-tea aromas with age. The very high percentage of Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional planted on the vineyards result in the powerful structure and aging potential of Dow's Vintage Ports Dow's Ports avoid an over-rich style and requires a very high degree of skill in wine making and great experience in selecting the finest wines of each year and each vineyard. These wines are aged in seasoned oak casks for some 18 months and are bottled without any filtration or fining whatsoever. Dow Vintage Ports can be enjoyed when vibrant and young or they can be allowed to age for many years in bottle into a soft and delicate wine of velvet-like elegance.
External Reviews for Dow's Lbv Port
An LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) Port is different than a vintage port that's bottled two years after harvest. Bottled anywhere from four to six years after harvest, LBVs have been aged longer in cask and are therefore more approachable upon release.

Financial Planning -> Wills and Estates -> What to do when someone dies
What To Do When Someone Dies
When a person dies, there are many tasks to be performed.
The Government of Canada web site provides a great deal of help in dealing with the many tasks to be handled in the event of a death. Go to the Estate planning, wills and dealing with death page of the site.
When executor, liquidator, or administrator fees are being paid out of an estate, the estate must register as an employer with Canada Revenue Agency. This is the responsibility of the executor. All applicable income tax and Canada Pension Plan contributions (not EI premiums) must be withheld from the payment. This only applies if the executor, liquidator, or administrator does not act in this capacity in the regular course of business.
You should familiarize yourself with the responsibilities of the executor of an estate before accepting this position, or before dealing with any estate assets.
When an individual dies, they have a deemed disposal of all of their capital property immediately before death, for proceeds equal to fair market value at the time of death. Resulting capital gains, net of capital losses, would be reported on the final tax return for the year of death. Special tax rules apply for capital losses in excess of capital gains for the year of death.
