Donations have poured in to help a cat rescued from a Portsmouth house fire. A Facebook page created for Tiki Bear prompted enough contributions to cover 65 percent of the animal's veterinarian bills.
The historic home on Gates Street caught fire during renovations earlier this week. Crews rescued Tiki Bear and used an oxygen mask to revive her. No people were hurt.
The owner of the 17-year-old cat posted a statement online to thank donors, saying "Your support of my family while they are dealing with the loss of their house has been so appreciated, and it gives them one less thing to worry about."

A Hermosa man suspected of shooting and killing his close friend faces up to three years in prison after signing a plea agreement Friday with the 6th Judicial District Attorney�s Office.
Justin Wiese, 37, was charged with second-degree murder � which carries a possible penalty of 16 to 48 years in prison � but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of criminally negligent homicide.
District Judge Jeffrey Wilson will decide whether to accept the plea agreement April 3. Wilson can sentence Wiese to anything from probation to three years in prison for criminally negligent homicide.
District Attorney Todd Risberg said he couldn�t discuss specifics of the case before sentencing, but he said the difference among manslaughter, negligent homicide and reckless killing is a person�s state of mind.
�We have to consider the strength of the evidence,� he said. �We have to figure out what we can prove. In some cases, there are no witnesses.�
Wiese is suspected of shooting and killing Darrick Zuber, 42, for unknown reasons late April 19, 2011, or early April 20, 2011, at Wiese�s home in the 100 block of Hermosa Circle, about 10 miles north of Durango.
The fatal gunshot entered the back of Zuber�s left shoulder at an angle impossible to have been self-inflicted, according to a medical examiner.
Zuber was found lying facedown in the kitchen and dining area. He wore only a T-shirt and socks. His underwear was off and lying near his feet. Wiese called 911 to report his friend had committed suicide.
�Um, I think my buddy just committed ... suicide,� he told the dispatcher. He then made what sounded like a short, nervous laugh, according to an arrest affidavit. �I just woke up and my buddy is ... he�s on the floor, he�s blue, and I found my guns on the floor.�

Guest Reviews:
Our stay was fantastic! Paradise Habor is beautiful and we were able to have a great week. The pool deck was perfectly sized and the newly redone kitchen is super nice. The short walk to Duval Street provided for great nightlife. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it. – Marcy, Washington
I've stayed in the larger unit next door for Key West Race Week and had a great time. When time came to take a summer vacation with the family and our Sailfish Center Consol, this was the only place I wanted. Luxury accomodations, plenty of room, and best of all your own boat slip and garage. That's the trick in Key West, finding a rental that includes a boat slip. Easy in the upper and middle keys but near impossible in Key West. This unit provides the best of all worlds. Walking/riding distance to downtown, Duval, Mallory, etc… Extremely close to grocery stores, tons of storage for your toys and best of all the boat slip. Nothing like taking your boat out multiple times each day without the hassle of parking, setting it up and stripping it down, etc… If you want to have it all at your fingertips in Key West, this is the place for you. Already planning next year.

When Sarah Rosbach came back from her doctor's office, she noticed debris all over her neighbors' yards on Lyon Drive and that magnolia trees had been cut in half.
Rosbach lives on Banks Mill Road, which connects with Lyon Drive where the tree trimming took place.
While most of the ranch-style homes in the neighborhood were built in the 1950s after the construction of the Savannah River Plant, the magnolias stood there long before. Almost each piece of property has a magnolia tree standing in front.
But Rosbach said several weeks ago the residents received a notice SCE&G would be tree trimming. Most residents were not aware that after trimming, only half of the tree would be standing.
"Sometimes there are miscommunications on when we're picking up the debris," said Robert Yanity, SCE&G spokesman. "We do the tree trimmings the best we can."
Yanity said he understood when trees are first cut, it can look rather striking and be emotional for not just the company, but for the residents, as well.
"The company trims on cycles and what they are most concerned with is vegetation covering power lines, which could be potentially bad if strong winds come," Yanity said. But Rosbach said residents were not aware a huge portion of the tree would be cut out.
"The part of the tree going toward the street has been pretty much all cut to avoid the power lines," Rosbach said. "The part of the tree facing toward the home though is still standing. My heart just aches for those people. They just decimated the neighborhood."
Rosbach said she realizes the company has to trim trees in case of strong storms. But she said taking out an entire side of the tree could probably have been avoided, and it's more than likely the homes will lose selling value if ever put on the market.
"Aiken is known for its trees, and Lyon Drive was known for its magnolias," Rosbach said. "It's very upsetting."
After looking into the issue, Yanity said crews would come out and clear debris late yesterday. To contact SCE&G, call 1-800-251-7234.

Editor's note: This is the sixth story in an occasional series on understanding the criminal justice system.
After getting arrested, booked into jail, bonding out, getting an attorney and consulting with him, it's finally time for a defendant's case to go before a jury of 12 of his or her peers (Cue the "Law & Order" "duh-duh.").
After the attorneys for each side make their pre-trial motions, it's time to select a jury. According to Assistant Solicitor Beth Ann Young of the Second Circuit Solicitor's Office, the pool of 70 or so potential jurors are brought into the courtroom to be qualified by the judge.
Jury selection
First, there is a roll call, during which potential jurors stand and say their names, where they work, their marital statuses and where their spouse work, Young said. The attorneys for both sides are paying attention the whole time.
The judge then qualifies the potential jurors by asking them questions, such as if they are related to someone in law enforcement or if they have been convicted of a crime. Some people are disqualified from jury duty, while others are exempt and transferred to another court date.
The attorney for each side gets a certain number of "strikes" while seating the jury, with the state having five and the defendant typically having five or 10.
"They can be struck for no reason at all," Young said.
If each attorney approves a potential juror, he or she is seated in the jury box. This continues until there are 12 jurors and usually one or two alternates.
The jurors are sent to the jury room for a short period. After they are brought back, they are sworn in; the judge makes some introductory remarks; and the trial begins.
Opening statements
During opening statements, each attorney tells the jurors what they can expect from the trial, with the prosecution always going first.
"They are statements to give a framework of how the trial is going to go," Young said.
An attorney can't mention anything during opening statements that he doesn't plan to introduce as evidence. The statements are usually brief and may explain complicated parts of the law.
"For example, if it was a kidnapping case, you might want to talk about how kidnapping doesn't necessarily mean putting somebody in a car and taking them away; it just means restraining them against their will for a period of time," Young said. "I think it's better to let the details of the trial come from the witnesses."
Burden of proof
The state must now demonstrate that the defendant is guilty and begins calling witnesses and introducing evidence, Young said. Witnesses may include fact witnesses (someone who saw or heard something), law enforcement who investigated a crime, expert witnesses or even the victims themselves.
"Through the witnesses, you have to ask the appropriate questions to enter into evidence," Young said. "You have to lay the foundation to get all your evidence in."
After a direct examination of each witness by the state, the defense attorney gets a chance to cross-examine the witness.
Lauren Maurice is a former prosecutor with the Second Circuit Solicitor's Office who now practices criminal defense and family court law in Aiken. While the state lays its foundation, the defense is "making sure they do their job," Maurice said.
"(We make sure) if they have to authenticate something, that they authenticate it," she said. "If they have to show a chain, as far as where the evidence has been, that they meet that standard."
The state puts a variety of items in as evidence, from 911 calls, pictures and surveillance footage to weapons, ballistic evidence, clothing and phone records, Young said. The state also introduces items such as charts and graphs.
The examination and cross-examination continues until the state rests.
"Once we've done everything we feel like we can do and don't have anything else, then we rest," Young said.
Your ball, defense
A defense attorney usually always makes a motion for a directed verdict after the defense rests, Maurice said. The motion is a procedural matter in which the attorney says he or she still believes a jury will not find the defendant guilty. Most of the time, it's a formality, she said.
The judge will question the defendant outside of the jury's presence about whether or not he or she will testify.
"They're not required to testify," Maurice said. "The jury will be told they can't use that against them if they don't testify."
If the judge doesn't grant the motion, the jury is brought back in, and the defense has its chance to present evidence, Maurice said. The defense can call witnesses and examine them, with the state having the chance to cross-examine each one.
The presentation of evidence is typically the longest portion of the trial process, Young said. Based on the amount of evidence, it can take a day or several weeks. Most cases in the Second Circuit wrap up in a few days to a week.
Closing arguments
After each side has presented its evidence, called its witnesses, cross-examined them and rested, it's time for what Young called "the big finish."
"It's your chance to really tie the evidence together and argue what you think was shown and why you think the person should be found guilty," she said. "That's your real chance to try and get (the jury) on your side."
Closing arguments are typically more argumentative and emotional and last longer than opening statements.
"You argue to the jury your point of view on how those facts do or don't meet the burden of proof," Maurice said. "If you've cross-examined certain witnesses and just got a tidbit of this or a tidbit of that, that's when you can put your point of view of why these little things are important to either show someone is telling the truth or someone is not telling the truth."
Whomever delivers the first closing argument is determined by whether or not the defense presents any evidence, Young said. If the defense doesn't present any evidence, the defense gets the last argument. If the defense does present evidence, the state gets the last argument. Young and Maurice each said it's preferable to go last.
"Ideally, you're getting the last word in," Young said. "If you go first, you have to anticipate what the other attorney is going to argue. If you go last, you've heard what they're going to say and you can respond to it."
Maurice said she takes the closing argument order into account when deciding to present evidence.
"It's difficult when you go first because you always forget or don't anticipate something they (the state) address that you wish you would have addressed," she said.
Once the closing arguments are made, the judge gives the jury members their instructions, which can take up to an hour in some cases, Young said. Jurors are then sent to the jury room to begin deliberating.
"As a solicitor, if I would try to guess what issue it was going to be that was going to hang up with the jury, I was almost always wrong," Maurice said. "It was always something else."

Editor's note: This is the first of a three-part series that will publish this week about a recent seven-day mission trip to the Quimistan Valley through the Honduras Agape Foundation. Today's article will focus on the mission team from St. John's United Methodist Church.
When leaving the San Pedro Sula airport, the van carrying 15 excited, chattering Aiken residents grew quieter as they began taking in the sights of Honduras.
A few "wows" were murmured as they looked through the tinted windows at dilapidated homes and litter lining the roads, police standing in the streets with assault rifles, horse-drawn carts and people roaming through traffic selling small souvenirs or fruits in efforts to make a little money.
That was the beginning of one of the most memorable and touching spring breaks that this group had ever experienced.
The Honduras Agape Foundation
The trip was organized through the Honduras Agape Foundation, an Aiken nonprofit organization that was initiated in 1999 as a foreign mission ministry of South Aiken Presbyterian Church to help the Quimistan community rebuild after Hurricane Mitch tore through the country and destroyed many homes.
The mission of the foundation expanded from reconstructing houses to offering education assistance to children and teenagers, building classrooms or other necessary structures for schools, providing dental care, conducting a water cleaning project, installing justa stoves in homes for cleaner air and sharing the creeds of Christianity.
Several local churches are now involved in assisting the efforts of the Foundation.
Each year, several groups head to Honduras to help with construction, hold vacation Bible school and to interact one-on-one with the individuals who the Foundation is helping.
The mission team
The group consisted of mostly teenagers and their parents who are all members of St. John's United Methodist Church. Michael Norton, who has been affiliated with the Foundation for quite some time and is a frequent visitor of the Quimistan Valley, was the team leader. Much of the team never had traveled to Honduras before, and, by the time they left, many of them wanted to go back.
St. John's Youth Director Jimi Whitesell said he was intimidated by what he saw initially when leaving the airport because it looked to be a bit dangerous, but, by the time he got to the lush, green fields of Quimistan and started to meet the people, he felt a sense of friendliness and warmth surrounding the group.
"It's like they know you are there to help, whether you are helping them or someone else in the community," Whitesell said.
When going to the various villages, the team always put aside some time to play with the children.
Bottles of bubbles, flying discs and tennis balls were packed away in some of the team members' backpacks as icebreakers just in case the children were a bit shy. That wasn't a problem at all as the children excitedly gathered around team members as soon as they arrived.
Whitesell said one thing he noticed was the amount of happiness stemming from the simple gesture of handing one of the children a tennis ball or installing a swing set at a school.
"The smiles ... and the joy was just heartwarming," Whitesell said. "They were so grateful for that sandwich, for that ball, for that meal."
This was team member David White's second trip with the Foundation, and, to him, community service is habit-forming – it's something he can't imagine not doing. White said he likes participating in Honduras Agape mission trips because it offers an opportunity to feed those in need physically and spiritually.
"The trip does both because we're pushing the Christianity aspect and giving them shelter," White said. "I'm personally working on finding the balance."
Participating in the mission trips also gives a face to the Foundation and those who are offering assistance from afar.
"They know that someone outside is caring for them," White said. "You show these people that they are worth caring for."
The youth team members
The trip included six youth members – Addie Reed, Allie Norton, Abby Ray, David Ray, Kaylee Crenshaw and Sydney Goodlove.
Whitesell said watching the youth getting their hands in the dirt during construction and interacting with the kids was a pretty fulfilling part of the trip.
"To actually be the hands and feet of Christ ... I love watching them do the work just so they know that they can make a difference regardless of their age," Whitesell said.
The trip was quite a learning experience for the younger members of the team. Reed, 13, was strongly impacted by the sights of those individuals who barely have a place to call home or didn't know when their next meal would be.
"I wanted to be able to give them (the children) a toy but couldn't, and also seeing all of those people in the streets – I never realized I could feel that sad," Reed said.
But despite the lack of possessions, Reed said she noticed that the children were happy and always smiling.
David Ray, 13, was impressed with the fact that everybody seemed to connect through playing sports such as soccer, despite differences in personalities and cultures.
Crenshaw, 15, said she noticed the children are a lot more active in Honduras and actually interact with each other, unlike many kids in America who depend a lot on text messages and online social networks.
Norton, 16, said she initially was concerned by the fact that she didn't know much Spanish, but that didn't negatively affect her experience at all.
"Dios te ama – God loves you," Norton said. "Even though there is a language barrier, there's a connection."
The teenagers were deeply touched by the faith the people in the Quimistan Valley have despite their troubles. Goodlove, 17, who also has traveled to Guatemala and wants to spend her life doing mission work, said when attending a church service in one of these countries, the congregation thanks God for everything it has, even though what it may physically possess is not much.
For Abby Ray, 16, who was on her second trip to the Central American country, Honduras is a spiritually uplifting place.
"Once you come down here, you always see God, looking at the kids and looking at the houses," Ray said. "This is where I find God."
The end of the journey
Before boarding the plane, the team took a few moments to say goodbye to translator Daniel Reyes and the Foundation's Maynor Castillo who helped guide them through the trip. There were a few tears, and the moment was bittersweet as the team members were ready to go home, but sad to say goodbye to their new friends.
Team member Nancy Reed said there were many memorable moments on the trip, but there was one that really stuck with her.
That moment was with Suyapa Castillo, a friend of the Foundation.
Castillo's husband, Edwin, assisted the nonprofit with the construction of homes.
At the end of a church service that the team attended the night before they headed back to the United States, Castillo, who speaks very little English, gently took Reed's arms and simply said, "Remember."
"We will remember them," Reed said. "And, hopefully they will remember us."

Star trails, looking straight up over about 2 hours the movement of the stars create an overhead circular pattern. The green bits in the sky are from some auroras that passed though the shot.

As I mentioned the Uckfield Petty Sessional Division licence registers last week I thought it might be worth explaining a bit more about them and what sort of information you might expect to find in them.
Why were they created?
These particular registers were introduced as a result of The Licensing Act of 1872, the full text of which is available on the Office of Public Sector Information website. Section 36 of the Act details the requirements for keeping the registers:
There shall be kept in every licensing district by the clerk of the licensing justices of that district a register, to be called the register of licenses, in such form as may be prescribed by such justices, containing the particulars of all licenses granted in the district …
What was recorded in them?
Section 36 of The Licensing Act of 1872 also describes what should be recorded in the register:
… the premises in respect of which they were granted, the names of the owners of such premises, and the names of the holders for the time being of such licenses. There shall also be entered on the register all forfeitures of licenses, disqualifications of premises, records of convictions, and other matters relating to the licenses on the register.
The first of the registers that I looked at (ESRO PTS 5/4/1 1872-77) contained the following column headings, although not all columns were used.
- Date
- Particulars of Licence
- Name and Situation of Property
- Annual Value of Premises
- Name and Address of Owner of Premises
- Name of Holder of Licence
- Transferee, New Tenant, or Occupier
- Date of Transfer
- Forfeitures of Licences
- Disqualifications of Premises
- Record of Convictions
Subsequent registers followed much the same format until after The Licensing Act of 1904, which introduced financial compensation for licences that were not renewed for reasons other than cases of misconduct.
This lead to further columns being added to the registers under the overall heading of Reference to Compensation Authority.
- Whether upon Application for Renewal or Transfer
- Date of Reference
- Decision of Compensation Authority
- Date of Extinction of Licence
Where can I find them?
The definitive guide to finding registers of licenses is Victuallers' Licences – Records for Family and Local Historians by Jeremy Gibson and Judith Hunter. Originally published by the Federation of Family History Societies in 1994, it is now in it's third edition.
This book is divided into two sections, the first part describes the different types of licensing records that have been created, and the second section is a listing of the records that have survived for each county and where they can be found (usually the county record office).

It was a gathering rarely seen by even the most seasoned law enforcement officers.
Representatives from local agencies like the Aiken Department of Public Safety, the Aiken County Sheriff's Office and Jackson Police Department, state agencies such as the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division and federal agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration all joined forces along with members of the Aiken community.
They all came together on Thursday for the first notification and call-in process for the Safe Communities initiative. As part of the initiative, chronic violent offenders are identified based on their present and past criminal activities, and brought to the call-in with law enforcement officials and community members. They're told the effects of the crimes they're committing and that they face stiffer penalties and an expedited trial if they re-offend.
Communities, including nonprofit organizations, faith groups, service providers and citizens, offer opportunities for the offenders to pursue a more productive path, from getting a job to getting an education.
The initiative was first implemented in High Point, N.C., which saw a 54 percent decrease in its violent crime rate since 1990, while the population rose from 75,000 to 107,000.
"There's no reason at all tonight that you can't say, 'I'm done with this,'" Shelby Saunders, spokesman for Aiken Safe Communities Action Team, told the group of 13 offenders.
ASCAT is part of an effort with Aiken Public Safety and other law enforcement agencies to help promote Safe Communities in Aiken.
"We want you to listen closely, because there's going to be a clear message that you'll hear over and over again tonight," said Charles Barranco, director of Aiken Public Safety, adding that the goal of Thursday's meeting was "two-fold."
"First, to put you on official notice that this community has decided that violence will not be tolerate in Aiken, which means no guns, no drugs, no drug dealing and no violence of any kind," he said. "Two, to inform you that if you insist on continuing any violent behavior after tonight, we will use all of our resources to put you in prison to keep our streets safe."
Several community members made short statements to the offenders who were invited to the call-in and came on their own.
"You can't change your past – it's already happened," said Sharon Rodgers, president of United Way of Aiken County. "But you can change your future. You can make good choices. We hope you will decided to make those good choices, and we're here to help you."
One by one, representatives from each of the law enforcement agencies present made their own statements to the offenders. Each one also thanked them for coming to the meeting voluntarily.
"You've already made some bad choices in your life, but you've got the opportunity to make some good choices," said Ben Thomas, assistant chief of SLED. "If you make the bad choices and re-offend, I want you to know that I will do all I can to bring every resource available to the State Law Enforcement Division here to Aiken to hunt you down, track you wherever you may be hiding, take you into custody and bring you before the justice system."
Stacey Haynes, of the U.S. Attorney's Office, told the group that their status as convicted felons means they'll face stiffer penalties for future crimes.
"One bullet is the same as a gun in the federal system," she said. "Because you're felons, you're looking at up to 10 years. A couple of you guys are looking at a mandatory 15 years for a bullet or gun, and possibly a life sentence. Think about that – 15 to life for a gun or ammo."
Haynes told the offenders that federal inmates are often housed in other parts of the country.
"Mandatory life – that's forever," she said. "That means you leave the federal prison in a pine box. You don't want that, your families don't want that and we don't want that for you. But we'll do it if you continue the violence in Aiken."
Solicitor J. Strom Thurmond Jr. said his office works frequently with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"We'll go through your record, and what charges we can prove in either state or federal court, and we're going to select the venue that carries the most serious penalties," Thurmond said. "You're not going to get a plea bargain, you're not going to get a deal and we're going to fast-track your case for trial.
"I have, at any given time 3,000 pending cases in Aiken County," he said. "But you're going to be No. 1 up for trial if you re-offend after you leave here tonight."
Barranco told the group at the end that the community is extending a helping hand to them.
"We, as a community, are reaching out to you tonight to offer you an opportunity to change your situation," he said. "You can accept the help or continue your violent behavior to be dealt with by this task force that is assembled before you.
"This is your last chance to make different choices," he said.
Saunders said afterward that he was pleased with the meeting and how the offenders responded.
"Those young men were attentive. They understood what was being said," Saunders said. "We had a young man at the very end. He stopped and asked, 'What time can I call in the morning?' He was already ready to reach out for a resource and that's critical."
Saunders said the offenders were invited after officers looked at their files and records.
"There were no faces or names. They were just a number," he said.
He said after the meeting that "the ball's in their court," adding that the individuals called to Thursday's meeting were given a brochure with resources and a card.
"They will call us," he said. "We will set up a time, sit down with them one-on-one and do a needs assessment to find out what they need. We will try to match them to the resources that we have in order to help them help themselves."
Barranco, too, felt the message was well-received.
"There was a consistent message that we're tired of the violence here in Aiken," he said after the meeting. "We're not going to tolerate it anymore. They have the opportunity to make some healthy choices, and I think some of them will take advantage of that."

Thank you Carol and Rob for the execllent 5 day lecture.
I use Advanced Circuits for fabrication and placement from Advanced Assembly for quick prototyping. It is worth the cost for the time. They can order parts as well (most from DigiKey).
VHDL, DSPs, very good and practical training. Thanks
hi, I manufacture pcb protypes on my own using serigraphy, I also order high volume from different PCB fabs in Mexico and Asia.
Good overview and pointers for a first board prototyping class. Rapid prototyping can be a critical capability
good walkthrough on fab and design package as a wrap-up
Nice Work!
What will MIT come up with next -- LEGO Mindstorms ?? :)
Would like to have seen the back-annotated schematic and updated BOM *(Bill of Materials, not Book of Mormon)...
LED + and LED - holes don't look aligned???
glad you archived these sessions!
I've ordered a few 2-layer PCBs for hobby purposes. The first was made with KiCad and the others with DesignSpark. But I learned a few things from Carol's lecture.
I use a batching service now called OSH Park (formerly Dorkbot PCB) with excellent output (boards are US made). For my hobby use it's worth waiting a couple of weeks to save a couple hundred dollars compared to the cost of quick-turn places like Advanced Circuits.
Thank you Carol and Rob
Practical RF design, Signal Integrity and Power Integrity are the point of interest
Experienced with PCB design, fabrication and debugging
Hello from Oregon
Howdy archived people!
Thanks great lecture
I'd like to see the way these boards are dealt with on the factory floor
showing parts placement, threw hole soldering automated test inspection etc
But plan on doing it in the future
I havent ordered any pcbs for prototying
Hi picking the last day
good lecture
no experience ordering pcbs
hi carol
test 3
things have incremented on way to go.
test 2
thank you for the information
one more archive done.
Thank you
better late than never!
Thanks Carol; excellent presentation
We should have another week with another proto project. It's very interesting
i'm ok with the course presented
thank you Carol,
hi all, again
Thanks for the information that you have provided this week.
Next time, I hope.
Hello all.
For a one stop proto shop try screamingcircuits.com
I had fun this week teaching. You guys are a great audience! Good luck to everyone.
good weekend :)
Thanks everyone for attending this week. And thanks Carol for your great programs.
@Mr. E, Don't have any names for you. It would depend on the volume. If your are willing to wait and have enough volume, ask for their bottom price. Some manufacturer's here will have a relationship with a Chinese mfr and can handle it for you.
Thank you for a good series, looking forward to more, next time.
@Mr. E, If you mean the little board in the green square, that's just an icon.
@Carol: Just out of curiosity: would you name some fab houses that populate the PCB as well as make it? Sort of a "one stop shop"?
@Carol: I just figured there were some special features on the board on slide 6 that I was overlooking.
@Dave, Good luck!
Rob: Already playong back #4. :-) Will be covering tutorial and re-doing entire series. It helps to try the work a few days later -- to see if you still remeber the lessons.
Currently working on a board I wish to prototype -- no tools not enough knowledge. Now I can try at least!
@caa028, Thanks. You've made my Friday!
@Dave, I agree, Carol's presentation included great detail. Plus, they can be played back if you need to review the info.
Agree with dave - this weeks lectures are probably the most useful out of the whole series...
Gotta get back to the grindstone Bye Bye until your next lecture
@Dave, That's awesome! Thank you.
Your welcome and best wishes for a great future.
For my purposes this week goes to Top Five list. Thanks!
@Chris, Thanks so much! I really appreciate that.
Work is calling, great lecture hope to see more in the future with other neet stuff such as impedance matching etc
until next time
Thank you.
I got it.
@Mr. E, I was playing around and the screen capture doesn't match the quotes on the left. The quotes are correct. Good eye, I'm glad someone's paying close attention.
good day to all
I listened all week to the lectures. You really did a great job. Better yet would be to order boards and stuff them and then test circuit. But that would cost big $$$.
I have File>>>>Edit>>>>View>>>>Add>>>Sitting>>>Tools>>>>Window>>>Help. That is it.
good info - thank you
I'll ask them at Sunstone, they have excellent tech support ... thanks
Carol mentioned extra charge for less than 10 mil pitch. Sometimes there is a reason.
To avoid Tin Whiskers use 6 mil size for pitch. A 6 mil pitch allows a ROHS exemption application so you can use standard solder and avoid "Tin Whisker" problem.
@Don, DesignSpark does have autorouting and it is free.
Today's program is now available for archived viewing -- as with all of this week's programs with Carol Lenk.
@Carol: What caused the sample PCB on slide 6 to have a total cost of $404.07 rather than the standard price of $273?
@mRlu2012, don't know off the top of my head. Try searching their website. Maybe a full panel (12x24")?
PCB123 does not have the POUR copper function ... Oh well ...
@Chris, try pouring a copper area. I talked about that yesterday.
What is the limit in PCB size for this standar service?
@gordonnex, that's up to Rob and DesignNews. It's fine with me. Or get me your email.
Thank you Carol, Rob, Design News, Digikey and my brain for making this great week possible.
@everyone, I'd like comments by people that have used both DesignSpark and Eagle free version. What did you like most in each?
Adding ground planes on two layer boards with DIP packages.
@ROB & @Carol- Thanks for an informative week.
Many thanks to you both for your work on this series. Enjoy the weekend!
@Kinda, did you add a folder first? In Library Manager, the rightmost tab...
Why do the prices go UP with quantity?
Thank You
Question: Are PCB Artist and DesignSpark files interchangeable? I thought Carol mentioned they shared the sam internals
I was not able to add item to the library.
Thanks Carol and Rob for the interesting week. Pointing me to DesignSpark was quite useful for learning PCB design on a tight budget. Happy Friday and see all next time.
I am interested in more L.E.D.s for residential / commercial & industrial uses.
You're welcome to all.
Thank you!
Can we get a copy of the designspark & gerber files?
@Rob- Good intro content, how about autorouting?
PCBArtist does not allow any imports or exports. You can only get gerbers after an order. And you cannot take gerbers and translate back to layout software.
Great series. Thank you.
Express PCB is much simpler to use for small and proto projects. You have to use their board service but their quality and service are excellent.
Thanks, great week.
Thanks Carol and Rob.
Great class. Thanks Carol!
Thanks Carol
Does any free prototype layout software have autorouting?
If we are talking about PCBs, how about EMC & ESD design issues in PCB?
Thank you Carol. I look forward to your next series.
Thank you Carol, and Rob. Helpful info here.
Yes, Thanks!
Thanks Carol.
Where is chat link?
design tips were great, would like more
I would like to know more about RF PCB layout and Annetena Impedance matching on PCB
Running traces on to a ground plane
@mRlu2012 - usually 12" x 12" for proto runs.
Great week, thank you! :)
Thank you Carol!
We're now on slide 12.
@1ifrpilot -- it does that to me every time I download. Just do it again and choose Overwrite Yes. It always works the 2nd time. ??? It just does.
accutrace: http://pcb4u.com/
We're now on slide 11.
Check out AP Circuits for very limited, low cost protos:
I've used myropcb, in canada.
We've been happy with Accutrace's service for prototyping. 2 layer boards $10 ea, min qty 10 - top silkscreen only, or 4 layer boards $30 ea. 1 week turnaround.
@Rob - i think, either seed or itead will be enough for my prototypes...
When I tried to download the slide deck, it said the .PPS file was corrupt. Can you check this?
We're now on slide 10.
Just so you know, I'll copy any questions you have and post them at the top when Carol comes on to chat after her talk.
@Rob - sure, will give it a try... but not at the PCB artist prices...
We're now on slide nine.
Price per board does not go up. The price is for the total order.
initial prototypes live on a breadboard before the perfboard unit.
We're now on slide eight.
@BanjomanF It is total cost, not cost/board,
We're now on slide seven.
would like to do more prototyping PCB for personal projects. most are on perf board with #30 wire soldered point-to-point to make sure the circuit works as expected.
This is a great idea for prototyping. No more breadboard...
Got a prototype requirement coming up soon.
Will be doing several prototypes now that I have software.
We're now on slide six.
How many of you are looking to do more in prototyping?
To double check package layouts it helps to print the top layer on a good laser printer, as well as the bottom layer, mirrored. Then actually put your components on the paper to make sure everything is OK.
We're now on slide five.
(1) Make sure that your holes are big enough. For plated through holes, allow for the plating.
(2) Depending on your requirements, you may want some holes are to be plated, and others you want to be clear. Don't forget to check. It is painful when you short a top layer to the bottom layer.
We're now on slide four.
Make sure you know what color represents the top component layer and what color represents the bottom component layer. Especially important when working with different layout packages !
what layer is the board outline on?
lessons learned... check the component footprint, check the footprint, check the footprint for the package being used. then make sure it's not inverted!
Always try to maximize the usage of the panel.
What are the lessons learned on ordering PCBs?
We're now on slide three.
I ordered many PCB prototypes from different manufacturers like Beta-Layout, Contag, Straschu, Würth, Pridana, ...
It really helps to talk with the vendor--it can save you lots of money. Also, many vendors have standard design rules. If you meet these rules your board will cost less. For example, one 8 mil trace can add 10 or 20% to the board cost if the vendor's standard is 10 mil traces.
@Rob Generally good, never the quality I usually expect and little room for modification once they are in the flow. There are two streams: one for prototyping and another for production quantities. Some houses want it panelized complete with registrations, others will want to do that themselves.
Real easy ordering with PCB123 'Sunstone ... Just download file and hyour done.
Ordered PCB's many times.
Have ordered many prototype boards both for experimental and pre-production runs, from various sources over the years.
@Rob: have not personally ordered a PCB before.
Not ordered PCBs for many years. Will soon though.
None. I Mill my own board.
I've ordered from pcbcart.com
no direct experience in ordering PCB for prototypes. aware of the process though.
Good afternoon, Carol.
@Rob - have not ordered any yet...
Never ordered PCB before, working on design now.
We're now on slide two.

Lewis, Renteria signed
A busy January continued for the Reds Monday as they checked off another item off of the wish list by signing Fred Lewis to a one-year big league contract worth $900,000, plus incentives.
Cincinnati was in search of a left-handed hitting outfielder for the bench and a potential leadoff hitter and the club gets both with the 30-year-old Lewis.
The club also announced the official signing of SS Edgar Renteria. Both players completed their physicals today. Renteria will earn $2.1 million in base salary with $900,000 in incentives based on plate appearances.
And with that, it appears the Reds are done making transactions. Their 40-man roster is now full.
"I think I'm done," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "These are a couple of pieces we felt we needed."
Of course, the Reds could sign players to Minor League deals. But it seems like the Reds have filled the holes they identified when winter started.
I just filed my story, which can be found on MLB.com/Reds.com, and it will have more quotes from Jocketty and others in an updated version. Ultimately, the club went with Lewis over Scott Podsednik for a couple of reasons.
"We felt we had more upside with Lewis, both with his age and in having control over him for a longer period of time," Jocketty said. "We liked his all-around game."

All-Star Moose?
Mike Mussina, an All-Star? I wouldn't have believed it myself, but consider the fact that Mussina once again has a share of the American League lead with nine victories — including eight in his last nine starts. Sure, he's been lucky at times, but any pitcher who's winning nine of 13 games is off to a heck of a run for a season.
Not too shabby for a guy who many were looking at as a fifth starter and potential weak link to the rotation. Remember when Hank Steinbrenner said that Moose should pitch more like Jamie Moyer? Looks like maybe Hank knew what he was talking about – that directly coincided with the beginning of this 8-of-9 run.
Derek Jeter had his own milestone moment last night, moving into third place on the Yankees' all-time hit list and passing Mickey Mantle. Jeter's in some pretty select company there — Lou Gehrig is first and Babe Ruth second. He says he doesn't belong there, but Joe Girardi (among others) disagrees. Someday you'll be visiting the new Yankee Stadium and looking at Jeter's plaque in Monument Park, there's just no doubt about it.
Don't count on Jason Giambi being in the lineup today after having treatment all during Wednesday's game. He's still pretty sore, from all accounts. The Yankees will try to "sleep fast" with a somewhat-later report time to get to the Stadium on Thursday afternoon for what used to be known as a Businessman's Delight. I'm not sure how many people come to ballgames wearing shirts and ties anymore. Seems that's gone the way of the three-martini lunch. More likely, you'd just blow off work altogether and call in sick.
Lots of 2008 First Year Player Draft coverage on tap for Thursday. In case you haven't noticed, the Draft is kind of a big deal here at MLB.com. The Yankees are up 28th and then have a Joba Chamberlain Compensation Pick at 44 for losing Luis Vizcaino to the Rockies. Their second round pick is 75.
136 Comments
We don't know when or if this team can get Fuentes. Regardless of that, the Yanks could use Cox as an option on a moment's notice until this team can acquire Fuentes or anyone to help this mess of a pen.
This team has to seriously start thinking about calling up someone like J. Brent Cox soon. I can't stomach seeing another HR of Farnsworth late in the game. We're just lucky there hasn't been anyone on base when he gave up the last couple of HRs. Cox has thrown 10 1/3 shut out innings since being moved up to SWB, stuff wise he isn't spectacular, but Farnsworth can only dream about doing that himself.
MAybe we can trade Betapuke for Sabathia or trade him to the Mets for Santana. WS here we come!!!!
Q:The best walk off in the history of REGULAR SEASON Yankee baseball? <br
A: Bubba Crosby! THAT was tight!
Maybe I should quit watching every time they are losing? Because the one day I got mad and turned it off, I miss the Giambino walk off! Maybe I'm jinxing the club by watching?
You're not the only one who felt that way, I'm sure most fans did, and they have aright to fell that way based on how this season has been going.
Of course not chaz. You're definitely one of the better bloggers here, I enjoy reading your stuff!!!
I feel so embarrassed for shutting the game off today. I feel like a dodger fan! Ick. Out damned spot!
Hope you're not including me in that, Matt. I'm just a bandwagon riding, fair weather fan! I'm not idiotic, I'm witty and hilarious!
LOL, Swahili, you are dead on! I'm sure Betamit's upside is so good, that when we get a chance for Mark Teixeira we should just stand pat with Betamit for 1B next year! In fact why don't we bench A-Rod and start Betamit at his natural position of 3rd base? I mean, after all, he does have "pop" from both sides of the plate whereas A-Rod can only bat right handed. You are an idiot, Scooter. Do us all a favor and stop it with your "Betamit: The greatest bench player in the history of baseball" campaign. It's TIRED.
OMG!!!!! If certain people insist on sounding this idiotic when the Yanks win, then I can hardly wait for the Yanks to start losing again!!!!!! STOP ALREADY!!!!!!!!! Especially you bpark!!!!
Gee whizz, Swahili, out of eating a poop sandwich or drinking a cup of piss, which one would you rather endure?
OK, Swahili. Let's say that Betamit IS the best player off the Yankee bench. So PHUKING what? If you want to say that, then out of getting your throat slit, falling off a cliff, drowning, getting shot in the head, or burning alive, I would say that drowning is the best way to die. What kind of an argument is that? You need to back away from the keyboard because your brain is melting.
Did you suffer from a long brainfart, when you wrote your idiotic lunacy. When are you going to give it up? We all know keyswahili is one of your many sign-ons. I her Clemens calling you for your usual "get together" have fun!!!!!!!
OK, so let me get this straight, I get so pissed that I'm ready to cry, I throw a fit like a 5 year old girl, I shut the game off, and then I decide to check the score a few hours later, and I missed a Giambino walk-off? Perfect. LOL. I whine about people being fair weather fans more than anyone, and it turns out that I'm the worst one, great!
I don't know how close you are…but if you or Chaz or..well anybody missed any part of the game, it's available on 50″ HD in NJ!
Pieces we need=Speedy runners=at AAA or AA
Bunter=Where have you gone Doug Mientkewicz (Pirates)
Speedy Left fielder=Damon or AAA
More Bullpen Arms=AAA or yet unknown MLB. (Pirates?)
And can we beat better pitching and defense with what we have now??????
If we lost i could have said we were snakebitten (there's that s-word again)!!!
And if I become the next GM……I have jobs for all of you!
Chaz=Sabremetrics specialist
Matt=Devil's Advocate
JHT=Matt's assisant
Keyswahili=Bright gofor (young?)
AussieBryan=Australian Director of anything you want! or
AussieBryan= Any US job if you want to relocate!
BD, BP=Something

Mattress, why would you an essay and then rebut it with one sentence? You have too much time on your hands. Shelley must be too busy for you.
Can't argue too much against the Yanks 1st Rd pick, Gerrit Cole, considering he is considered the top prep pitcher in this year's draft. He has a fastball that tops out around 97 mph, and could be a dominant starter down the road at best or a dominant closer at worst. However, I have to wonder why they went after him when this team already have several pitchers like that in the minors, and there is a desperate need for position players like Casey Kelly who was still available at the time and eventually went to the Suks. He has the makings of a great SS, something this team will need in the near future since Jeter isn't getting any younger, and there really isn't anyone better than Kelly in the system right now.

First of all, can we stop using Giambi, and thong in the same sentence please? That's not a pleasant sight, it will take me a couple of days to get over that, thanks jeterstar!!! The players, and management on this team are well-deserving of the criticism, especially with all the garbage we've seen from them this season. This team desrves better than Crashman, he's had this team on a path to mediocrity for years now while Epstein has had the Suks going in the opposite direction. Why the heck can't some of you see that? You guys can accept all the mediocrity you want in Crashman or Betapuke, but this team deserves better than them.
Lets see how your faith in mediocrity gets you, as compared to the fans who demand and expect better from their team. IT's that attitude that drives teams to be the best, not faith in the same putrid mediocrity that you guys want. Again, Crashman has done nothing to earn an extension, but make mistake after mistake that have prevented this team from winning another championship. Staying on the same failed path, rather than trying something new is where the real idiocy lies. How long do you people want Cashman as GM of this team anyway? SHEEEEEEEESSSSHHH!!!! If this team falls farther south than it is now, this organization is going to find it next to impossible to justify this extension.
You losers need to get off Betamits back…hes doing a lot more than Duncan, Ensberg and other bench players. The love affair with Scott Proctor needs to stop. A good, young part-time player such as Betamit tops a worn out right handed reliever such as Proctor. Giambi's old body is fragile and will not allow him to play everyday…Betamit has thump from both sides of the plate and is a better defensive 1st basemen than Giambi…It was a good move by Cashman and will pay dividends the rest of the summer.

JEEEEEEEEEZZZZZ!!!!!!!! Did this game kill off people's brain cells? Insanity and stupidity is running amok here!!!
Hank steinbrenner needs to start making new rules. He should force all the yankees to grow a mustache. Look at Johnny damon. Right when he grew the mustache, he's been taring it up. I think all the players, even jeter and A-rod, need to start growing a mustache.
Barry Bonds will never play here and he has an agreement with the Tigers already after his June court date.
Kbp you might know rugby and/or futbol but you do not know baseball. Crashman has produced nothing over the past few years. His free agent signing alone ought to give him the pink slip. Why reward failure? Oh I forgot this is the new America that rewards failing CEO's and GM's. Congrats to Fat Boy for the dinger and to Ryan for making a bad pitch.
We need to add Barry Bonds?? I'll tell you what we don't need: Barry Bonds. Last year this team led the league in hitting in EVERY category. None of these hitters that contributed last year are gone this year. This team has thump—people are slumping but the thump is still there. Maybe another power hitter wont hurt (it never does) but preferably someone that can see his toes when he stands and one who is not 43!!!!! And no one is saying that Betemit is worse than Duncan and the rest of the bench they're all the same—as in not good. Extra pop in the lineup is always a good thing…preferably not coming from a guy who's popped on pills.
Congratulations fellow bloggers Aussie bryan is so over all of the consistant negativity posted on this site. almost everyone rips the team , players managers and owners apart. The side has been without it,s two most productive hitters for 20 games and 34 games in the case of Posada without Posada they are 17-17. With him in those games I believe they would have been22 and 12 minimum and right in the hunt. With A Rod they would have won additional games no doubt. They have been hurt by injuries to pitching staff all year . In the current game Farnsworth gets bagged again, yet he throws two good pitches unluckily that went for blloped singles yet gets out in a tense innings only giving up one run, keeping the runs scored minimal and keeping the team in a winning position and win they did. Get off his back and get off the team,s back and start being positive.
As for Cashman I believe he is about to be resigned, do you all think the owners and senior management are total idiots of course not. They are backing their man in for some tough decisions made which WILL be winning decisions in the long run.
I may be from Australia and not know as much about the game but in Australia we BACK OUR MAN to the hilt. Now some bloggers even want to turn on Bryan Hoch. Total idiots some of you are.
That one is on Giambi and Betemit funnily enough. OMG. I didn't think a comeback win was ever possible for the 08 Yankees. It was an amazing game. Miracles do happen…I knew it. I knew I should've kept watching. This sucks for Chaz…baseball sure is unpredictable. The game was won at one point and then lost, then close, and then won and then it ends with a two run shot from an "injured" player. Holy **** that rocked…
You losers need to get off Betamits back…hes doing a lot more than Duncan, Ensberg and other bench players. The love affair with Scott Proctor needs to stop. A good, young part-time player such as Betamit tops a worn out right handed reliever such as Proctor.

The Yanks still lack a real threat in the line up, especially from the right side. Billy Hall, with Milwaukee, has been relegated to part-time duty and has demanded a trade. Hall is a good fielder and has power. We also need to add Barry Bonds as DH to protect Rodriguez.
My fiancee thinks that mustache is the ugliest thing she's ever seen. Guess she'll have to look at it for a little bit longer.
I still hate you Jason Giambi, but thanks for the bomb to win the game, he must have been wearing that disgusting thong I have been hearing about lately! I'm going to need therapy because of that thong story but hey whatever works.
the GiamBINO! What a great great win! Reminds me of how this team used to come back all the time a few years ago.
Hey, Farnsworth has only given up 1 run over his last two outings. That's pretty good for him! Of course it sucks for any normal reliever…
It's like this horrible nightmare I can't wake up from. Day after say Farnsworth gives up runs and costs us games. The guy can throw…just not well.
One run?!?!? In our wildest dreams….grrrr – so frustrating. I think Girardi refuses to watch when he pitches – how can he not see what's happening EVERY TIME???
At least we all agree on one thing, that we need to release the S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D fransworthless. He is killing this team.
Farnsworthless, pleasse keep it at one run…. oops you can't pitch two days in a row because you stink.
I was just kidding about Wang. If you look at my post, it shows that he is easily the MOST reliable pitcher in baseball. He's just in a slump. It happens. I'm a big fan of Wang.
I'm not saying whether or not Cashman should stay, but I got a feeling they will sign him again.
Wht the heck has Crashman done to deserve that? What a freakin' joke. Like I said he isn't even close to being the best GM in baseball. Sorry Robert!!
Way to get out of the jam you created Jose. At least you made some pitches that got the Yankees out of the inning. Now let's scored some runs!!!! Then turn it over to Mo.
Walks and hit batsmen. When is staff going to learn how to pitch. I for one cannot believe that they are talking with Crashman about resigning. I for one am not satisfied with his job performance and he shows nothing of improvement.
As for Wang this guy is a third or fourth starter at best and goes through these periods when his sinker is not there. When the sinker doesn't sink he is very hittable and an average pitcher. This is the 4th game in a row that he has pitched badly.
Wang may be reliable but he's NOT right now. Not a bit. Like the last game AP pitched, our starter lost this one for us.
Betemit is a bench player yes, and thats why you must blame Wang. It has been very long since he has pitched a good game. What he brings is just not good enough right know. His delivery is so urquard(spelling) and just a little tweak, and he has no idea where the ball is going
Big deal!! two homers in two days. He's going to have to a lot more than that to get us haters off his back!!!
Aright… well Damon just got caught stealing, oh well.
Hey elfman,
Dude you are crazy, saying Wang is unreliable. I mean is it just me or in the last two years has he gotten more wins than any other pitcher! He may be in some trouble but you need some help if you are saying that Wang has been shaky these past few years.
This team is a disgrace to this franchise. I'm surprised that fans pay money to watch these fools play. And even if they make the playoffs (which i believe we will), there is no way we will win one game w/ a pitching rotation that can't even complete 4 innings.
This lineup also sucks. we have left so many people in scoring position. For God's sake, we have more hits than the other team, and we are still losing.
BTW, all you betermit haters, Betermit got 2 HR in 2 days. Got off his back. He is only a bench player.
Man, two homers in two days… sportsgirl I think you are right. He must have a heck of a breakfast and lunch.
Am I dreaming? Betemit? From the right side? A HR?? What was in *his* orange juice this morning? Hmm…
I cannot stand watching this team anymore. THEY SUCK. The rotation SUCKS even more. We seriously need to clean house starting w/ all the stupid crappy pitchers we have.
Well Damon definitely shouldn't have gone on that one, but I guess Arod now owes him a steak for that RBI, heh.
Yeah, Wang is the definition of unreliable. I mean his stats just say it all:
2005 – 8-5 with a 4.02 ERA (only started 17 games)
2006 – 19-6 with a 3.63 ERA
2007 – 19-7 with a 3.70 ERA
It doesn't get much more unreliable than that!
No pitching, no defense, no timely hitting…
See you in 2009
Trade Wang… He is too unreliable. He is prone to blow up, and has been worthless in the postseason
If Betemit weren't in the lineup I'd say that they have a chance to score 5 runs. But he is…and McGowan's pitching. So now it takes a miracle…which do happen but not that often.
Same old pathetic story!!!!!! Anyone really interested in sticking around to watch the ending?
There's always the MLB Draft that we can keep an eye on, at least that's more interesting than watching these fools go down in flames, again!!!!
Enter the white flag brigaide led by Ross Ohlendork. Put the TNT on the support sructures of the House That Ruth Built, RIGHT NOW!
Okay so Betemit is not the only one annoying the crap out of me…Wang and Melki are too in this inning. That is a ball you must catch. Wait he did catch it…he just LET GO OF IT!! And Wang is behind every batter, not Wang at all. Who is this man?!
I think we should put this entire thing to bed already, that's the billionth time you said the same ting, you're running out of things to say!!
Wow. That was rough to watch. That's a bad sign when you're "best" defender looks like that.
Inglett is one of those pesky contact hitters that no one talks about. Grossly under-rated.
Maybe Damon should have his head checked if bpark/nycstreets77/sentinel/keyswahili/bpuke/bpunk shares the same views with a very disturbed person.
By email@example.com on June 5, 2008 1:32 PM
All of those are your aliases, you admitted it and Bryan got an isp match.
Yeah, he's still feeling the effects of when he got hit on the foot the other day. Apparently it's nothing major, but as we've seen in the past, when Giambi gets hot, he loves to have these little injuries that kill him the rest of the season.
Well, at least Betemit didn't ground into a rally killing double play. He just looked at a called third strike.
I agree, that's been a big problem for the Yanks all season, but you also have to give McGowan a lot of credit too, he's not a broken down old vet.
This is what we get for not scoring. We've had RISP in every inning so far. We are not capitalizing!
You can start your rant about Mussina being an HOFer anytime, I'll be here waiting for you!!
Damon was always a hitter. He's 7th in the MLB in hits since 2000 I think… I know someone mentioned it the other day, might've been Sterling. He sure as hell was never a thrower…
I don't think people can see his positives because his mistakes outnumber and outweigh them, plus this team has failed to get beyond the usual playoff failures i has been experiencing in recent years. With the names on this roster, and the size of the payroll more is expected of this team, but the results aren't there. Like I said before, I doubt organizations really clamor to have Cashman. I doubt the A's would switch GMs with the Yanks since Beane is the better GM. I doubt the Angels would switch with the Yanks, or the Suks, Cards, etc. The only teams who would switch would be teams in the smaller markets who haven't had much success at all in years, i.e. Kansas city, Pittsburgh. I really have to doubt Cashman could be successful in those markets since he won't have the Yanks resources to rely on, and that makes a big difference.
Wang? When your standing on the mound home plate is too your north …in case you forgot that.
Leave Betemit alone! All he did was spoil the amazing feeling we Yankee fans had by Posada's line shot in his first at bat back. You guys are so mean to Betemit. Just because he's a terrible hitter, a mediocre fielder, and a slow base-runner doesn't make him useless. He can still…well…umm…I'll have to get back to you on that one.
First of the Betamit trade will always be considered a big mistake, because the value of a bench player will never match the vaalue of a relief pitcher regardless if that pitcher is having a bad season which Proctor is having. You could blame Torre's overuse of Proctor for his problems last season. Despite that Proctor wasn't the worst pitcher in the pen. His ERA was a decent 3.81. He turned his season around with the Dodgers going 3-0 3.38. So the Yanks could have used that far more than Betamit, who will hit one out once in a while, really doesn't have much ability. A pitcher will always have a bigger role and impact on a team in regards to success or failure of a team, than a bench player who will have more of a minimal impact on the team. The Dodgers definitely got the better of the deal.
Maybe Damon should have his head checked if bpark/nycstreets77/sentinel/keyswahili/bpuke/bpunk shares the same views with a very disturbed person.
At 7PM you would have caught the W.B. Mason encore. With all of the boring innings left out!
Yes, right now Vazquez looks like our worst mistake, with Contreras a close second. But neither pitcher could hack it in NY. And the list of similar cases is very long. Anyone pick up on the names I recently mentioned, Reuschel (sp?) or Whitson?
And for the much maligned Pavano, Boston has Clement! Can't anyone else see positives?
BTW, Cashman became GM in 1998 (Winter 1998/1999, I think.) Now Epstein can exceed Cashman's championships as he already has two. Can exceed Cashman's WS if he gets there three of the next four years. But has already missed the chance at nine straight playoffs. So if he is number 1, Cashman is clearly number two. And out of thirty I'm satisfied. Why isn't anyone else?
New arguments please!
Okay biggest shock of my life. I turn on my T.V just now and it's on the channel I left it on …so all of a sudden the game came on. I had no effing idea that it was on now. I would've missed it and turned it on at seven only to find a yankeeogrophy or something… I even said I was excited for Posada's return TONIGHT… the games ON? How am I supposed to know these things?
One thing I didn't know: A-rod leads the league in RBI's? That's awesome. He leads by about 17. He doesn't have as many HR's but the dude missed two weeks and he's leading in RBI's. I hated his guts during the "opt out" but now I shudder to think what would be if he hadn't sucked up all that money and returned.
And if we broke conventional baseball wisdom trading a relief pitcher for an infielder, well, we got him and Crosby from the Dodgers for Ventura. So the Dodgers did too!
The Yankees, because of their success, have to be more creative than any other team. We constantly have the worst position in the draft! Conventional baseball wisdom? we cannot be imprisoned by it!
I apologize! The erroneus comment about our current record versus 2007 was from BD.
I mentioned Proctor's ERA leading to this:
Why do we miss Proctor so much? His current ERA would rank him sixth in our bullpen with Ohlendorf breathing down his neck.
Name – Innings – ERA
1 Britton – 7.0 – 1.29
2 Bruney – 11.1 – 1.59
3 Ramirez – 16.0 – 2.81
4 Farnsworth – 27.1 – 4.28
5 Veras – 12.0 – 5.25
6 Proctor – 25.2 – 5.61
7 Ohlendorf – 32.2 – 5.79
8 Hawkins – 25.2 – 6.31
If the Sandwich round pick turns into anything like Joba, it will be FAR AND AWAY Luis Vizcaino's best contribution to the Yankees. Better for sure than anything he did ON the field!
With the rotation, we needed and still need Joba!! No question… you else do you want to put in there? Don't even go to Igawa… and anyone else will be another youngster that hasn't had a MLB debut yet. Chamberlain may not strike everyone out or even have a solid start everytime, but we as fans need to be patient and wait for Joba to get settled in the rotation. As I saw someone mention, it is a lot easier to replace pitchers in the bullpen, then it is in the rotation. I agree with that, and so lets leave Joba where he is and see what he can do next time.
With the pen, I'm guessing JB Cox, or another good reliever will be coming up from Triple A. Guess we will have to see if they can do better then Latroy and Veras. Certainly can't do too much worse. Now I know most really don't like Farnsworth, and as a setup man neither do I. But then as middle relief he doesn't do too badly. There have been some bigger mistakes but he is usually ok. We just need to find a guy who can step up and take the place of Joba or at least act as a bridge to Mo. Its pretty obvious he can handle just about anything.
In reality I share some of Damon's views. We don't have Fuentes so we have real problems now with Farnsworth, Veras and other not being able keep leads or ties.
Damon was alittle critical of Hank this morning and the Joba move to the rotation. A few more comments and we might not have to LF'ers.
Why you might ask? Other than his rough stretch last August, he's always been solid, not an ace but solid. I expected him to be decent this year. And GM Mattress Susuctress was wrong again.
When he was 1-4, if you has suggested he would get All Star consideration, i would have suggested you get your head checked.
He is in one amazing streak. Funny how he and Wang can't be on at the same time.
4 losses? Well, he could still get consideration. Excellent ob all year, hope he doesn't challenge Manny anymore.
Keep it up Moose and I'll start my HOF tirade again…… Even Al Leiter mentioned the three letters last night. Even with a tight strike zone, Moose proved that he has the ability to pitch. And right now (as a hush comes over the crowd) he's OUR STAFF ACE. The ONLY pitcher consistently winning games. Remember when Wang got number 6? Moose had what? 3 or 4 wins? He's 9-4 folks.
Speaking of Wang, he's in a nasty funk. Look at his numbers. He's AVERAGING more than 2 bb's a game (and just over 3 a game in his last 5 starts). Of course, he's averaging more than 3 k's a game too which is something new for him. To me that means he's changed his pitching style. Not putting the ball in play as much? Getting away from what brung him to the dance??? Perhaps he's got a bit of CY fever?? I've got the most wins by a ML starting pitcher in the last two seasons but because I don't K so much, I don't get the trophy??? I dont' know.
Awesome hit/milestone for Jeter, and a better start than I think any of us could hope for with Moose.
Well, so the Chamberlain start didn't go so well. I know a lot of people are gonna be saying that he should be in the bullpen and should go back. But its already decided, Joba will be a starter. So lets see what happens in four or five starts.
Besides… it has to be better than what Kennedy or Igawa did.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm especially excited about this tutorial. Remember that whole Facebook doppleganger thing where you'd choose the celebrity who is your lookalike as your profile photo for a week? I chose 2NE1's Sandara Park since she is the celebrity I'm most often told I look like. In fact, a sweet girl even private messaged me to tell me that someone else was stealing my photo to use as their facebook photo (but it was actually that I was using Dara's photo! hehe...)
2NE1 is one of my favorite Korean pop groups and I've always had a soft spot for Dara so I'm totally flattered to have people think we look alike! Most times when people tell me I look like someone I don't see it but for Dara I can somewhat see the resemblance as with Narsha from Brown Eyed Girls.
Check out their Try To Follow Me video here:
And my tutorial here:
What do you think? Do we look alike?
Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream
MAC Blot Powder in Medium Dark
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
NYX Single Eyeshadow in Olive Green
NYX Single Eyeshadow in Wildfire
NYX Single Eyeshadow in Hot Pink
Stila Barbie All Doll'd Up Palette (turquoise and champagne shadows)
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Pretty and Cute synthetic lashes in Victoria
Shiseido Eyelash Curler
Lioele Up & Down Waterproof Mascara
Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow in Gray Black
Lioele Cushion Touch Blusher in Cutie Pink
Revlon Fantasy Lengths lashes in Lush (lower lashes)
YSL Rouge Volupte #1 Nude Beige
Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder in Candlelight
And here are my shots. Plz to appreciate my hard work in curling my bangs like this. I am no hairstylist. I swear, Sandara's must have been an actual tube inside or fake hair or something because this was NOT EASY! I'm pretty sure I used an entire can of hairspray. Don't ask me to do a tutorial cause I swear it will be soooo bad. XD
Let me know what you think in the comments!! What should I do for my next "inspired" look?
