This HOWTO is designed to help you move a network from many different clients speaking different languages, to many different machines that speak a common language. The ultimate goal is to help differing architectures and technologies, come together in a productive, happily coexisting environment.
Following the directions outlined in this HOWTO should give you an excellent step towards a peaceful cohabitation between Windows, and virtually all known variations of *nix.
This HOWTO originally started not as a HOWTO, but as a FAQ. It was intended to explore the functionality and power of the Gentoo system, portage and the flexibility of USE flags. Like so many other projects, it was quickly discovered what was missing in the Gentoo realm: there weren't any Samba HOWTO's catered for Gentoo users. These users are more demanding than most; they require performance, flexibility and customization. This does not however imply that this HOWTO was not intended for other distributions; rather that it was designed to work with a highly customized version of Samba.
This HOWTO will describe how to share files and printers between Windows PCs and *nix PCs. It will also demonstrate the use of the VFS (Virtual File System) feature of Samba to incorporate automatic virus protection. As a finale, it will show you how to mount and manipulate shares.
There are a few topics that will be mentioned, but are out of the scope of this HOWTO. These will be noted as they are presented.
This HOWTO is based on a compilation and merge of an excellent HOWTO provided in
There are a several other guides for setting up CUPS and/or Samba, please read
them as well, as they may tell you things left out of this HOWTO (intentional or
otherwise). One such document is the very useful and well written
After presenting the various USE flags, the following list will outline all of the topics covered as they are presented:
We will need the following:
The main package we use here is net-fs/samba, however, you will need a kernel with smbfs support enabled in order to mount a samba or windows share from another computer. CUPS will be emerged if it is not already. app-antivirus/clamav will be used also, but others should be easily adapted to work with Samba. Gentoo's samba ebuild supports all kinds of virus scanning technologies, such as Sophos, FProt, Fsav, Trend, Icap, Nai, ...
Before emerging anything, take a look at some of the various USE flags available to Samba.
kerberos acl cups ldap pam readline python oav
Depending on the network topology and the specific requirements of the server, the USE flags outlined below will define what to include or exclude from the emerging of Samba.
|USE flag
A couple of things worth mentioning about the USE flags and different Samba functions include:
First of all: be sure that all your hostnames resolve correctly. Either have a
working domain name system running on your network or appropriate entries in
Hopefully now you can make an assessment of what you'll actually need in order to use Samba with your particular setup. The setup used for this HOWTO is:
To optimize performance, size and the time of the build, the USE flags are specifically included or excluded.
# echo "net-fs/samba oav readline cups pam" >> /etc/portage/package.use # emerge net-fs/samba
This will emerge Samba and CUPS (if CUPS is not already emerged).
Because the
# emerge app-antivirus/clamav
# emerge net-print/foomatic
You only need to emerge this if you use an HP printer.
# emerge net-print/hplip
The main Samba configuration file is
# Replace MYWORKGROUPNAME with your workgroup/domainworkgroup = MYWORKGROUPNAME # Of course this has no REAL purpose other than letting # everyone knows it's not Windows! # %v prints the version of Samba we are using.server string = Samba Server %v # We are going to use cups, so we are going to put it in here ;-)printcap name = cups printing = cups load printers = yes # We want a log file and we do not want it to get bigger than 50kb.log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 # We are going to set some options for our interfaces...socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 # This is a good idea, what we are doing is binding the # samba server to our local network. # For example, if eth0 is our local network deviceinterfaces = lo eth0 bind interfaces only = yes # Now we are going to specify who we allow, we are afterall # very security conscience, since this configuration does # not use passwords!hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/24 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 # Other options for this are USER, DOMAIN, ADS, and SERVER # The default is usersecurity = share # No passwords, so we're going to use a guest account!guest account = samba guest ok = yes # We now will implement the on access virus scanner. # NOTE: By putting this in our [Global] section, we enable # scanning of ALL shares, you could optionally move # these to a specific share and only scan it. # For Samba 3.x. This enables ClamAV on access scanning.vfs object = vscan-clamav vscan-clamav: config-file = /etc/samba/vscan-clamav.conf # Now we setup our print drivers information![print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /etc/samba/printer # this path holds the driver structureguest ok = yes browseable = yes read only = yes # Modify this to "username,root" if you don't want root to # be the only printer admin)write list = root # Now we'll setup a printer to share, while the name is arbitrary # it should be consistent throughout Samba and CUPS![HPDeskJet930C] comment = HP DeskJet 930C Network Printer printable = yes path = /var/spool/samba public = yes guest ok = yes # Modify this to "username,root" if you don't want root to # be the only printer admin)printer admin = root # Now we setup our printers share. This should be # browseable, printable, public.[printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no printable = yes writable = no public = yes guest ok = yes path = /var/spool/samba # Modify this to "username,root" if you don't want root to # be the only printer admin)printer admin = root # We create a new share that we can read/write to from anywhere # This is kind of like a public temp share, anyone can do what # they want here.[public] comment = Public Files browseable = yes public = yes create mode = 0766 guest ok = yes path = /home/samba/public
Now create the directories required for the minimum configuration of Samba to share the installed printer throughout the network.
# mkdir /etc/samba/printer # mkdir /var/spool/samba # mkdir /home/samba/public
At least one Samba user is required in order to install the printer drivers and
to allow users to connect to the printer. Users must exist in the system's
# smbpasswd -a root
(If another user is to be a printer admin)# smbpasswd -a username
The Samba passwords need not be the same as the system passwords
You will also need to update
# nano -w /etc/nsswitch.conf
(Edit the hosts: line)hosts: files dns wins
The configuration file specified to be used in
; run-time configuration for vscan-samba using ; clamd ; all options are set to default values ; do not scan files larger than X bytes.

It is generally a good idea to start the virus scanner immediately. Add it to
# vim /etc/clamd.conf
(Check the line "LogFile /var/log/clamd.log")# vim /etc/freshclam.conf (Check the line "UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log")# vim /etc/conf.d/clamd (Set "START_CLAMD=yes" and "START_FRESHCLAM=yes")
Now fire up the virus scanner.
# rc-update add clamd default # /etc/init.d/clamd start
This is a little more complicated. CUPS' main config file is
ServerName PrintServer
# your printserver nameServerAdmin root@PrintServer # the person for printer-related hate-mail, e.g. youAccessLog /var/log/cups/access_log # probably doesn't need changingErrorLog /var/log/cups/error_log # doesn't really need changing eitherLogLevel debug # only while isntalling and testing, should later be # changed to 'info'MaxClients 100 # I've had to set this to 1000000000 or so because some time back, # there seemed to be a bug in CUPS' controlling of the web interface, # making CUPS think a denial of service attack was in progress when # I tried to configure a printer with the web interface. weird.BrowseAddress @IF(eth0) # Change this to your internal net interface<Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 192.168.1.* # the addresses of your internel network # e.g. 192.168.1.* will allow connections from any host on # the 192.168.1.0 network. change to whatever suits you</Location> <Location /admin> AuthType Basic AuthClass System Allow From 192.168.1.* # same as above, allow any host on the # 192.168.1.0 network to connect and do # administrative tasks after authenticatingOrder Deny,Allow Deny From All </Location>

CUPS needs to be started on boot, and started immediately.
(To start CUPS on boot)# rc-update add cupsd default (To start or restart CUPS now)# /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
First, go to
Now you have a PPD file for your printer to work with CUPS. Place it in
# lpadmin -p HPDeskJet930C -E -v usb:/dev/ultp0 -m HP-DeskJet_930C-hpijs.ppd # /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
Remember to adjust to what you have. Be sure to have the name (
You should now be able to access the printer from the web interface and be able to print a test page.
Now that the printer should be working it is time to install the drivers for the Windows clients to work. Samba 2.2 introduced this functionality. Browsing to the print server in the Network Neighbourhood, right-clicking on the printershare and selecting "connect" downloads the appropriate drivers automagically to the connecting client, avoiding the hassle of manually installing printer drivers locally.
There are two sets of printer drivers for this. First, the Adobe PS drivers
which can be obtained from
This HOWTO uses the CUPS drivers for Windows. Install them as shown:
# emerge -av cups-windows # /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
Now we'll use the script
# cupsaddsmb -H PrintServer -U root -h PrintServer -v HPDeskJet930C
(Instead of HPDeskJet930C you could also specify "-a", which will "export all known printers".)# cupsaddsmb -H PrintServer -U root -h PrintServer -a
Here are common errors that may happen:
This should install the correct driver directory structure under
Pending no errors or other complications, your drivers are now installed.
Lastly, setup our directories.
# mkdir /home/samba # mkdir /home/samba/public # chmod 755 /home/samba # chmod 755 /home/samba/public
We will want to test our configuration file to ensure that it is formatted
properly and all of our options have at least the correct syntax. To do this we
(By default, testparm checks /etc/samba/smb.conf)# /usr/bin/testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[printers]" Global parameter guest account found in service section! Processing section "[public]" Global parameter guest account found in service section! Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions ... ...
Now configure Samba to start at bootup; then go ahead and start it.
# rc-update add samba default # /etc/init.d/samba start
It would probably be prudent to check our logs at this time also. We will also
want to take a peak at our Samba shares using
# smbclient -L localhost Password:
(You should see a BIG list of services here.)
Despite the variation or distribution, the only thing needed is CUPS. Do the equivalent on any other UNIX/Linux/BSD client.
# emerge cups # nano -w /etc/cups/client.conf ServerName PrintServer
# your printserver name
That should be it. Nothing else will be needed.
If you use only one printer, it will be your default printer. If your print
server manages several printers, your administrator will have defined a default
printer on the server. If you want to define a different default printer for
yourself, use the
(List available printers)# lpstat -a (Sample output, yours will differ)HPDeskJet930C accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 laser accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 (Define HPDeskJet930C as your default printer)# lpoptions -d HPDeskJet930C
(Specify the printer to be used)# lp -d HPDeskJet930C anything.txt (Use your default printer)# lp foobar.whatever.ps
Just point your web browser to
Now is time to configure our kernel to support smbfs. Since I'm assumming we've all compiled at least one kernel, we'll need to make sure we have all the right options selected in our kernel. For simplicity's sake, make it a module for ease of use. It is the author's opinion that kernel modules are a good thing and should be used whenever possible.
CONFIG_SMB_FS=m CONFIG_SMB_UNIX=y
Then make the module/install it; insert them with:
# modprobe smbfs
Once the module is loaded, mounting a Windows or Samba share is possible. Use
(The syntax for mounting a Windows/Samba share is: mount -t smbfs [-o username=xxx,password=xxx] //server/share /mnt/point If we are not using passwords or a password is not needed)# mount -t smbfs //PrintServer/public /mnt/public (If a password is needed)# mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD //PrintServer/public /mnt/public
After you mount the share, you would access it as if it were a local drive.
That's just a bit of point-and-click. Browse to
That should be it. You should now have a successful printing enviroment that is friendly to both Windows and *nix as well as a fully virus-free working share!

Can someone confirm this? I've had a situation where two shotguns ran into each other, one of them aimed at the direction where the other was coming from while the other one did not aim. The dude who didn't aim won the firefight. So both units were moving, neither of them had cover and they had not changed stance from or to ducking position. The only modifier was the aiming (which matters the least) and the shotugn who was at disadvantage won.Goateh wrote:There is no luck except in the case where every other modifier is entirely equal.
This is at least how I recall the situation. Is my memory completely corrupted or is there indeed a small chance for the disadvantaged fighter to win?

Czech Republic based JetBrains has made another play to enrich the PHP developer toolset with its release of PhpStorm 3.0. This code-centric PHP IDE aims to give developers a means of keeping code clean and properly structured. Described as a "major release", this version introduces the Smart Duplicated Code Detector to help find similar blocks through an entire code base and get rid of them without losing the intended functionality.
The new version also includes an integrated UML tool to provide a "bird's-eye view" of project structure, or a semantic view of the changes in the recent VCS commits made by colleagues. The IDE now also includes a profiler, a new PHPUnit test runner, and JSTestDriver.
"We really care about productivity, and the cornerstone of productivity is the quality of your code," says Alexey Gopachenko, PhpStorm project lead. "Every developer constantly faces the challenge of keeping their code clear, fast, and error-free. PhpStorm 3.0 takes over this challenge to help you concentrate on your big ideas, instead of getting bogged down in the routine details."
The release also includes support for popular and dynamically evolving technologies such as CoffeeScript and XSLT 2.0, along with an integrated XSLT debugger.
Note from the CoffeScript website: CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath all those awkward braces and semicolons, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous object model at heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way. The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: "It's just JavaScript". The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly from CoffeeScript (and vice-versa).
New functionality in PhpStorm 3.0 is summed up as follows:
- Smart Duplicated Code Detector
- PHP UML roundtrip diagrams
- Profiling results browser for Xdebug and Zend Debugger engines
- PhpUnit 3.6 integration
- CoffeeScript support
- Significant improvements to FTP/SFTP Sync
- TFS support and revision graph for GIT
- Streamlined UI across all operating systems

Looking back, Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni acknowledged he walked into a "weird" situation last season, and the reasons went beyond inheriting an injury-laden roster without a training camp.
As told in published excerpts of her recently updated memoir, Jeanie Buss revealed frustration how the Lakers front office chose D'Antoni over Phil Jackson last season to become the team's next head coach.
"I never thought it was anything personal at all," D'Antoni said in a brief interview with this newspaper Thursday at the Lakers' practice facility in El Segundo. "That's just normal. I don't think you can avoid it. If I had been in that situation, I'd have felt the same way."
As first reported by Yahoo! Sports, Buss, the Lakers' president, has since met with D'Antoni and his wife, Laurel, over dinner expressing her support. Buss reiterated the same thing in an appearance Thursday on KSPN-710AM.
"I've gotten a chance to get to know coach D'Antoni," Buss said. "The guy wants to win. I love that about him."
Buss has allegiances to Jackson for obvious reasons. The two long-time companions became engaged last year and Jackson won five of his 11 NBA championships in two separate stints with the Lakers (1999-2004, 2005-11).
Buss, who has worked on the Lakers' business operations for the past 15 years, also suggested in her memoir that D'Antoni's hiring hurt her relationship with her brother Jim, the Lakers' vice president of player personnel. Jim and Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak never publicly wavered in their support for D'Antoni.
"Last year, it was a tough year for everybody," said D'Antoni, referring to the Lakers' first-round exit to San Antonio and the passing of the late Lakers owner Jerry Buss in February due to an undisclosed form of cancer. "Now we're all like, 'Let's pull the boat.' We're all doing it. I never felt left out to dry. Mitch and Jim have been great and supported me. It's always been good, but now it's great."
Injury update
Forward Nick Young sprained his right ankle during practice Thursday, making his playing status uncertain for the Lakers' first preseason game Saturday against the Golden State Warriors in Ontario.
Expanded lineup
Time Warner Cable SportsNet has expanded its on-air talent by adding former Lakers Byron Scott and Luke Walton. Scott won three NBA championships with the Lakers during the "Showtime Era," while Walton won two NBA titles with the Lakers' 2009 and 2010 teams.

Re: How to create a photo on photo effect using Corel Paints
Post Posted Thu Oct 21, 2010 6:59 am by LeviFiction
Well, first off you do it in a very similar fashion. I can show you one method that I use but don't think it's the only method. Actually I'll both write it up and do a video.
You can find the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lF_F5IlO4o
Description Here:
A number of the methods are the same.
First select an area of the original image, with no feathering, with the rectangle selection tool. Then on the layers palette, not the image, right-click on the background layer and at the bottom of the list select "Promote Selection To Layer." You can also just go up to the selections menu and select the same option if you prefer.
Now you have the copy of the image on the new layer.
Now with the selection still active go up to the menu bar and go Selection->Modify->Select Selection Borders it should be at the bottom.
In this dialog box give it a size of 10 pixels (it can be any size you want, but the video did 10 so I'm saying ten) make sure it's set to be in the outside, and since it's a rectangle you don't need anti-aliasing on but I leave that up to you. Hit OK and you should have a 10 pixel boarder around the image.
Select your fill tool (paint bucket), make sure your foreground color is set to white, and change the Match Mode for the fill tool to None, and select inside the selection. You now have your ten pixel white border.
Go ahead and select the selection by going up the Selections menu or hitting Ctrl+D.
Adding the drop shadow is easy you can , make sure the top layer is still selected here, go up to the Effects Menu and under 3D Effects choosing Drop Shadow. Or you can double click on the layer to bring up the layer properties dialog. Under layer styles, turn on the drop shadow option and adjust the values there. Using the layer styles allows you to change the drop shadow later if you want to.
Finally to change the background grey, you have two options. (Do not go to the Image menu and select greyscale, that removes color from the entire image not just the one layer). First option is to use the Hue/Saturation/Lightness dialog under the Adjust menu. This does a simple greyscale. The other option, the one I use most, is to use the Black & White Photo Effect Filter.
First select the background layer in the layers palette.
Next choose your method:
Adjust Option:
1) Go to the Adjust menu and select Hue and Saturation->Hue/Saturation/Lightness
2) In the dialog just drag the saturation all of the way down.
3) Your image is now grey.
Photo Effects Option
1) Go to Effects->Photo Effects->Black and White Film
2) Hit the suggest color button (this will adjust how dark or light different colors appear)
3) Adjust the brightness & Clarify sliders if you want to for some fine tuning
4) Hit okay and your image is now grey.
It's pretty much as simple as that.

Easily get the best Marijuana and Cannabis products delivered in Richmond CA Contra Costa County 94808 to your door!
Richmond California Contra Costa County Marijuana Delivery Officially Legal In California
Though it was granted under temporary regulations, the final rules now make it the only legalized state to fully allow home delivery — regardless of the local laws
On January 16th, California's Office of Administrative Law (OAL) accepted the rules and regulations governing the nation's cannabis industry, a bit more than a year after lawful recreational sales moved into effect. The Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC), the Department of Food and Agriculture and the Department of Public Health spent months writing and revising 358 pages of rules and regulations prior to submitting them to OAL in December. According to the Associated Press, regulars say the OAL made no substantive changes before devoting their rubber stamp, effective immediately.
The industry, including thousands of trucks, retailers, testing labs and other businesses, had been working under temporary principles, most of which have been cemented into law. Among the most noteworthy policies permits dispensaries to create marijuana deliveries to all jurisdiction in California, even those municipalities that have passed local legislation prohibiting cannabis. The rules ensure legal protection to the more than 100 state-licensed"non-storefront" delivery companies and their clients in so-called bud"deserts," that is very good news for those tokers who may be homebound or have additional constraints that prohibit them from traveling.
Richmond California Contra Costa County Marijuana Delivery Officially Legal In California
"We get people interested in those areas," said Ray Markland, manager of EcoCann, a dispensary in Eureka, CA, according to this Times-Standard. "We've operated under the temporary state laws and sent there. It is very good for customers that are physically challenged and aren't able to make it out to us to receive our products. It's a positive movement showing validity to the cannabis industry and also to cannabis as a regular consumable product and not something to be embarrassed to utilize."
California is formally the very first and only state to legalize home delivery service throughout all municipalities. In line with this Times-Standard, delivery vehicles can only take a max of $5,000 value of marijuana at any time, and must be free of any markers that indicate they're transporting marijuana"to decrease the threat of theft or other crime. Supporters also say that lawful delivery service will help further undermine what remains of the marijuana black market, which had continued to flourish because approximately three-quarters of the nation's municipalities have passed local legislation prohibiting authorized cannabis stores from opening.
"You can not ban delivery," Maximillian Mikalonis, a cannabis lobbyist for K Street Consulting, advised Leafly. "You can only ban licensed, legal, regulated and expedited delivery"
California's newly formalized regulations also support the use of child-resistant smaller and packaging testing rules for heavy metals and toxins in most marijuana products. Marijuana will continue to become a cash-only business, as the national banking industry is controlled by the United States Department of Treasury, which adheres to the national law prohibiting marijuana. But going forward, cannabis retailers in the Golden State will only have to inspect client IDs before purchasing, and no longer are required to record names and other identifying info.
Don't Forget To Tip Your Drivers!
"These accepted regulations would be the culmination of two or more decades of hard work by California's cannabis law enforcement," Lori Ajax, chief of the state Bureau of Cannabis Control, said in a statement. "Public feedback was valuable in helping people build clear regulations for cannabis businesses and ensuring public security."

Now This: Martin Lee and the CBD Revolution
[This activist is the reason you know about CBD. Now he's telling the history behind the cannabinoid.]
Is CBD Toxic to the Liver?
The huge popularity of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating component of cannabis, has helped to destigmatize the plant and restore its reputation as an important medicinal herb.
Do Cannabis Suppositories Work?
The back door is making a comeback - medically speaking. Cannabis oil suppositories have grown in popularity, but how and to what extent they actually work remains somewhat of a mystery.
When CBD Isn't Enough to Treat Epilepsy
At night you might find Chelsea Leyland, a 31-year-old British celebrity DJ, juggling beats at a flashy Miami party while rocking a Simone Rocha dress that complements her honey-hued hair and brown eyes. By day she shifts into activist mode, traveling the country, giving interviews, talking at conferences and filming a documentary — all on the complex and controversial subject of medical marijuana. Leyland wants people to know how she has overcome a crippling neurological illness.
What Causes Seizures?
A variety of different things may happen as a result of a seizure, depending upon the region of the brain that is affected. There may be sudden changes in sensory perception, such as visual disturbances or the smell of an unusual odor. There may be rapid and inexplicable emotional or cognitive changes. There are often involuntary muscle movements, and sometimes even complete loss of control over the movement of one's body. Obviously, this could lead to serious consequences if someone has a seizure while, for example, driving a car.
CBD for Brain-Damaged Babies?
Giving medical cannabis to infants is a difficult taboo to shift, but new research is paving the way. The launch of a clinical trial examining the use of CBD in newborns suffering from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (brain damage caused by lack of oxygen) means new hope for the million plus babies born each year with this condition.

CBD & Cannabis for Pets in Pain
The state of veterinary medicine has advanced significantly in recent years and thanks to the availability of more effective medicine, many pets are living longer than they would have years ago. With age however, comes the onset of problems such as arthritis and other forms of pain and inflammation. Conventional pharmaceuticals commonly used to treat pain sometimes have a negative impact on the immune system, GI tract, liver, and kidneys. Additionally, they don't always work as well as we would like them to – for humans as well as our pets.1

CBD & the Psychedelic Receptor
In a shorthand that drives scientists mad, serotonin is often called 'the neurotransmitter of happiness.' This tag is especially troublesome as more and more flaws become apparent in the 'serotonin hypothesis' of depression – the idea that depression is caused by a serotonin deficit, which a pill (a serotonin reuptake inhibitor) could correct.1 Serotonin is a complex molecule in the brain and the periphery with a vast and intricate

Richmond, California
Richmond (/ˈrɪtʃmənd/) is a city in western Contra Costa County, California, United States. The city was incorporated on August 7, 1905.[14] Located in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, Richmond borders the cities of San Pablo, Albany, El Cerrito and Pinole in addition to the unincorporated communities of North Richmond, Hasford Heights, Kensington, El Sobrante, Bayview-Montalvin Manor, Tara Hills, and East Richmond Heights, and for a short distance San Francisco on Red Rock Island in the San Francisco Bay. Richmond is one of two cities, the other being San Rafael, California, that sits on the shores of San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay simultaneously.
Under the McLaughlin Administration, Richmond was the largest city in the United States served by a Green Party mayor.[15] As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the city's population is at 103,710, making it the second largest city in the United States named Richmond. The largest, Richmond, Virginia, is the namesake of the California city.
The name "Richmond" appears to predate actual incorporation by more than fifty years. Edmund Randolph, originally from Richmond, Virginia, represented the city of San Francisco when California's first legislature met in San Jose in December 1849, and he became state assemblyman from San Francisco. His loyalty to the town of his birth caused him to persuade a federal surveying party mapping the San Francisco Bay to place the names "Point Richmond" and "Richmond" on an 1854 geodetic coast map, which was the geodetic map at the terminal selected by the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad; and by 1899 maps made by the railroad carried the name "Point Richmond Avenue", designating a county road that later became Barrett Avenue, a central street in Richmond.

You're Offensive! No, wait, with that average how could you be?
You're offensive! No wait, with that average how could you be?
Obnoxious John
A few weeks ago I blogged about the Mariners and their inability very early in this season to pitch well, as they got pounded by the Astros.
"Not to worry, I said, it's early and the hitters are ahead of the pitchers" or words to that effect.
As always I was incorrect.
Taken today from the pages of the Major League Baseball web page, Mariner pitching is ahead of Mariner hitting according to the latest statistics. The team average is ranked 29th of 30 while the pitching staff ERA comes in at number 26 out of 30 so clearly we can see the pitching is far better than the hitting. (Insert snark face here).
We'd like to see those statistics to be more along the lines of 4th or 5th in pitching and maybe 10th in hitting. And if you listened with half an ear during the off season you might have been led to believe that's what team management was promising for this season.
So far, that is not happening. In fact, we are not even close. Thus far the pitching has allowed 96 runs, which is 3rd most in the Majors to this point and scored 61, fewer than all but 3 other teams.
In reviewing the last few games the M's have faced some good pitching. But in losing all three to the Rangers this weekend and scoring exactly 3 runs over the course of 3 games, their pitching could be number 1 in the Major Leagues and they'd still be in trouble.
Here's why; according to the major league rule book, (I'll cut and paste it for you),
'1.02- The objective of each team is to win by scoring more runs than the opponent.
I have a feeling it's going to difficult for the Mariners to fulfill the objective of the game this season. Golf anyone?
Now get out there and take one for the team!
