Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
W- Howry (1-2 ), getting to a W/L record against the Dodgers franchise that looks like binary.
L- Park (1-1 ), not getting Z a win, inconsistent strike zones
Things to Take from This Game
1. Lowe rolls, Z keeps us in it.
Derek Lowe looked pretty unstopable. After getting Lee to GIDP with the first two hitters on in the first, Lowe didn't look like he was challenged much by the Cubs offense all night. Z didn't have his best stuff, but labored through 8 innings and 130 pitches while only giving up one run. That came in the fourth, the result of a couple singles followed by two walks, the second one bringing in a run. It would have been a miserable way to lose a 1-0 game, but...
2. The top of the 8th vs. the bottom of the 9th.
The Dodgers had a chance to add some insurance runs in the 8th, as the Cubs defense lets Zambrano down and he's suddenly nearing 130 pitches with a bullpen that has just begun to warm up. Z gets out of it, however striking out Kemp and keeping the game at 1-0. Compare that to the bottom of the 9th, where Saito has a very, very rare fit of wildness. Like Z, he battles hard with far from his best stuff, but Soto manages a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to tie up the game at one.
3. Pulling out a tough win in the 10th
Pinch-hitting, Fontenot lined a double into the left-center gap. Soriano then hit a little blooper down the left field line that just did drop in fair territory. Fontenot scored uncontested, giving a very satisfying result to a hard-fought nail-biter of a game.
The sweeping details, below.
Game Recap
Inning 1 - Top
- Z begins by going 2-0 on Pierre.
- and after a 3-1 count, walks on a low and inside fastball to lead off the game
- 0-2 count to Maza. Who is Maza?!?
- Z doing a nice job of holding Pierre close, nearly picks him off on two consecutive attempts.
- Maza grounds one slowly a few feet to the SS side of the 2B bag. Theriot waits for it to come to him, steps on the bag just ahead of Pierre, and throws to first for the DP.
- Ethier pulls a grounder to DeRosa's left. He makes a nice running dive for it, gets up and throws Ethier out. Nice defensive inning for the middle infield
Inning 1 - Bottom
- Soriano pulls one through the left side hole for a single.
- Theriot inside-outs one through the right side hole, also for a single. Soriano to second.
- Lee taps one back to Lowe, 1-4-3 GIDP. Soriano to third. Nuts.
- Ramirez walks on a 3-2 pitch just outside.
- Fukudome hits one on the ground to Hu, who takes it to the 2B bag.
Inning 2 - Top
- Martin singles to left.
- Loney hits a grounder to DeRosa, easy 4-6-3.
- Kemp walks. Z squeezed a bit, not too thrilled
- Z shatters Dewitt's bat on a check-swing foul. Pretty nasty to watch.
- Dewitt hits a foul down the left field line. A fan reaches out for it and.... the Cubs left fielder catches it, ending the inning. That's nice.
Inning 2- Bottom
- Soto hits a sharp liner to left, but it is hit hard enough for Pierre to come in and make a diving catch.
- DeRosa bounces out to Dewitt.
- and Johnson bounces to Hu. Easy innning for Lowe.
Inning 3 - Top
- Hu lines out to Fukudome
- Lowe grounds out to second
- Z has Pierre 0-2, and throws a fastball strike on the outside corner. Except it's called a ball. Z comes back two pitches later to K Pierre swinging at a fastball.
Inning 3 - Bottom
- Z K's swinging
- Soriano bloops one to shallow right, Maza catches it.
- Theriot grounds to Hu. 7 in a row for Lowe
Inning 4 - Top
- Maza flies to Johnson
- Ethier grounds to Lee unassisted
- Martin grounds to left for a single.
- Loney singles up the middle. Martin makes a big turn around second, Johnson throws in behind him to second, but Martin makes it back to the bag. 1 and 2 with 2 outs
- Z loses control of a slider, right into the back of Kemp. Bases loaded.
- and now it's 2-0 on Dewitt. Uh oh.
- Z with a bad check-swing to go to a 2-2 count. Fans are on their feet
- 3-2 count on an outside fastball.
- Ball 4 on a low and outside fastball. Martin comes in to score. 1-0. All of this with two outs, as Len reminds us.
- Hu rolls out to DeRosa, ending the inning
Inning 4 - Bottom
- Lee lofts a big fly ball, just short of the warning track in center.
- Ramirez walks.
- Fukudome lines a single into right, Ramirez has to stop at second.
- Soto pops to Hu.
- DeRosa with a foul-tip strikeout. Two more LOB.
Inning 5 - Top
- Lowe bounces out to Theriot.
- Pierre lines out to Theriot.
- Maza lines out to Fukudome. Quick inning for Z
Inning 5 - Bottom
- Johnson flips the bat at a two strike pitch on the corner, almost dumps it down the right field line for a double, just foul
- and now he dumps a blooper into left, and Pierre comes in to make another diving catch, this one diving more towards his right. Nice catch.
- Z K's swinging at three straight pitches
- and Soriano K's swinging at a slider low and outside.
Inning 6 - Top
- Ethier Walks
- Martin then bounces into an easy 6-4-3 DP. Yet another clean turn on the DP, so nice to watch.
- Loney flies out to Fukudome
Inning 6 - Bottom
- Theriot swings and misses at a slider, striking out.
- Lee with a slow, shallow roller to Hu, out at first.
- Ramirez lines out to Ethier, another 1-2-3 inning.
Inning 7 - Top
- Kemp with a slow roller to Ramirez, who throws high and wide of first. Looks like he would have been safe, regardless. Nice catch by Lee on the throw.
- Dewitt grounds to Lee, Kemp advancing to 2nd
- Z tries to pick off Kemp; it's really close, but with ball, Kemp and Derosa all arriving at the same time, the ball rolls away. DeRosa sort of falls over onto Kemp to keep him from advancing.
- Hu grounds to DeRosa, Kemp to third.
- Lowe with a soft liner to Fukudome, out of the inning
Inning 7 - Middle
- Sutcliffe does the stretch, wearing a Cubs hat and jersey. Nice rendition, laughing a bit as he finishes up. Gets a nice hand from the fans, and throws his cap out of the booth and into the stands.
Inning 7 - Bottom
- Fukudome with a shallow chopper to second. Runs very hard, but is out by a step.
- Soto grounds one just to the left of Dewitt, for a single. Looks like Dewitt wiffed a bit on the attempt to catch it.
- And DeRosa hits into a 5-4-3 to end the inning. Lowe is making this look simple.
Inning 8 - Top
- Pierre grounds out to second. Be sure to mark it off your Juan Pierre Bingo card.
- Maza K's looking at a slider.
- Crowd cheering on Z to finish off the inning with a strikeout.
- Instead, Ethier lines a one-hopper to DeRosa, which eats him up and goes in to right for an error. Didn't have too much time to get in front of it, but still, did play it off to his left side a bit.
- Z hits 120 pitches for the night as he faces Martin
- They're scoring Ethier's ball as a hit? wow.
- Martin grounds one solidly through the left side hole. Runners on 1 and 2
- Just now we get Howry warming up in the pen.
- Loney with a bit of a slow roller right at Theriot. He makes a slight bobble, therefore needing to throw to first, and hurries the throw, which one-hops Lee. Lee can't pick it, and the bases are now loaded. Error on Theriot. Wow, this inning got ugly, quickly.
- LouPa comes out, and doesn't pull Z. Z stays in with 125 pitches thrown, to face Kemp
- Crowd again cheering on Z at an 0-2 count.
- 130 pitches....
- Kemp K's staring at a slider with a bit of hang to it, that nips the inside corner. Phew, phew, phew.
Inning 8 - Bottom
- Jonathan Broxton, who is a Very Large Man, in to pitch.
- Broxton blows a 98 mph fastball past Johnson
- Hoffpauir in to hit for Z.
- No good comes of swinging at 99 mph fastballs at the letters. Hoffpauir K's
- Or 96 mph fastballs at the letters. It probably was more hitable than the 83 mph knee-buckling slider on the corner, but either way, Soriano K's.
Inning 9 - Top
- Ascanio makes his Wrigley Field debut.
- Dewitt bloops to Theriot.
- Hu flies out to Johnson
- Mark Sweeney hits for Broxton. 0 for his last 15, he walks.
- Eyre warming up
- Pierre K's looking at a bit of a hanging curve.
Inning 9 - Bottom
- Saito in to pitch.
- Saito walks Theriot to lead off the ninth.
- Now 2-0 on Lee. Very rare for Saito to have any sort of control problems.
- 3-2 on Lee
- Theriot runs, and Saito throws a fastball that drifts into the inner-corner of the plate. Lee yanks it deep but foul down the left field line
- On a breaking pitch, Lee flies out to left. Tough battle.
- Saito hangs a 2-2 slider to Ramirez, who fouls it back.
- Saito certainly doesn't have his good stuff. A fastball way high goes to 3-2 count.
- Next pitch, Saito throws a fastball over Martin's head, to the backstop. Bounces right back, so Theriot can only go to second as Ramirez walks.
- Fukudome vs. Saito
- Cedeno runs for Ramirez
- Huge chants of Foo Koo Doh May
- 2-0 count
- Fukudome hits a tough hopper to Loney's right, who makes a nice play on it. He tosses to Saito at first, and on a very close play, Fukudome is called safe. It's an odd play, as the throw is behind Saito and he has to stretch his glove arm back a ways to grab it. As he does, his foot just does barely miss the corner of the bag. Bases loaded for Soto, one out
- 2-0 on Soto
- 3-1 on Soto.
- Soto swings through a fastball, 3-2
- Soto flies just short of the warning track in right. Theriot scores, Cedeno to third, 1-1 game.
- Fukudome takes second, uncontested
- As Len points out, with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth and a tie game and a runner on third, Fukudome should just stand on second base and not move
- A fastball gets away from Saito, up and in on DeRosa. Just does get out of the way
- 3-1 on DeRosa. Waves at a slider, 3-2.
- Saito cranking up the fastball to the low 90s, DeRosa fouling it off
- Finally, DeRosa gets jammed a bit, flies out to Right. Throws his bat to the ground in frustration.
Inning 10 - Top
- DeRosa to third, Cedeno to second, Howry in
- Maza with a grounder up the middle. Howry had been going away and making Maza look bad, but Brenly observes that the Cubs help Maza out by going inside on him.
- Howry K's Ethier on a fastball on the outside corner.
- Martin pops to shallow center.
- Loney K's swinging at an inside fastball
Inning 10 - Bottom
- Chan Ho Park relieves Saito. Heh. On a night where Fernando Tatis is playing for the Mets, and with Scot Elarton also called up. I'm amused.
- Johnson flies to left
- Fontenot pinch hits for Howry.
- Fontenot slices a double into the left-center gap.
- Soriano reaches for a low and away breaking ball, and flips the bat at it, blooping it down the left field line. It lands just fair, between the bullpen plate and mound. Fontenot scores uncontested, and the team runs to congratulate Soriano between first and the pitcher's mound. Cubs win, 2-1.

So giving up 1 run in 8 innings is just keeping us in it?
Are you nuts! Granted he didn't have his best stuff, his sinker was working and got out of jams with, what, 3 dps?
Sure Lowe was 'better' but I'll take 8 innings of that labor every outing.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
quite a little season we have going here. 22-8...wow.
i flew back to chicago for monday/tuesday games....needless to say my wardrobe was not prepared for either extreme.
i'm moving back to chicago in about three weeks, shaping up to be quite a summer.
is this heaven? if marquis gets a quality start tomorrow, then i say yes.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
For the record:
4 straight night games. That has to be a first in Wrigley history.
Does anyone know the terms of the agreement
between the Cubs and the City on night games? I know they get 21, but do they have to spread them out over the course of the season or does MLB have the ability to schedule them whenever they want? Because if I were them I would want as many night games as I could in between 4th of July and Labor Day as I could instead of 3 in row in April and May.
Re: Does anyone know the terms of the agreement
4 in a row. Three vs dodgers and 1 vs rockies.
Re: Does anyone know the terms of the agreement
I thought it was up to 30 now?
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Looks like Ascanio has moved ahead of Wuertz on Lou's list.
If Wuertz, Howry and Ascanio can get rolling, good news all around -- and fewer innings for Marmol.
To add on to your point
we also would not need to worry if Wood were to get hurt. Ascanio's last couple of outings give some glimer he could replace Marmol in case he is needed to close.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
I don't know, Weurtz was warming up earlier in the game, just didn't get used.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Looks like Ascanio has moved ahead of Wuertz on Lou's list.
Not so sure about that. He came in a game where the Cubs were trailing, which is typically a situation where LouPa doesn't use his best guys.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Agree -- but, I think the "best guys" list goes: Marmol, Howry, then it's between Wuertz and Ascanio. Wood, Stevie Eyre, and Lieber have pretty specifc roles.
In any event -- both seem to have potential to really help the 'pen.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
um....it's three in a row, not 4.
memorial day was a day game, so tues-weds-thurs nights before fri-sat-sun days. pretty standard.
Geo! So-to!
Loved the Soto AB in the 9th.
He seems to be pretty much a pull hitter, but, with the game on the line in the 9th and 2 strikes, he drives one to right-cener to bring in the tying run. Very impressive.
Unfortunately, with Bruce now playing for Cincy, he may not be the ROY lock we thought.
I guess it's better than a bag of baseballs...
Re: I guess it's better than a bag of baseballs...
If something's been mentioned more than once, should it then go to 6/88 or 9/132?
Re: I guess it's better than a bag of baseballs...
No because anything after 3/44 would be an option year.
I was told there would be no math
Tonight marks the exact one-third point of the season...Cubs have 32 wins going into tonight -- but, given their home/away split, mulitplying tonight's win total by 3 would be a bit misleading.
HR stats should improve with the warmer weather -- it has been a particularly nasty spring to hit at Wrigley. Makes the severe home/away BA splits a bit hard to understand.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
I'm told Jeremy Gonzalez, pitcher who was pitching to Sammy when his corked bat exploded, was struck by lightening and killed. He won 11 games for the Cubs in '97, apparently. This is all second-hand, so sorry if the facts are inaccurate.
I'm still deciding if joking about this is bad form.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Active player I'd most like to see struck by lightening: ________________________
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
I'll start. Corey Hart
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Is it wrong that Jim Edmonds is high on my list?
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
The facts are accurate. Thought it is Geremi, not Jeremi. And he did start the game, and pitch to Sosa, when the bat infamously cracked and showed the world that Sosa was a cheat.
We talked about it a couple of days ago.
And yea - joking about? Not great form.
By Doug Dascenzo's standards, this is 12/176 at least.
And Neifi Perez.
Re: By Doug Dascenzo's standards, this is 12/176 at least.
Old news? Sorry. May god strike me down for that.
Wait, on second thought, may god just mildly scold me. :o
CF Career Path
Corey (hitting .180 in May) joins Felix at AAA to "work out some kinks in his swing."
Tough move at age 28. Rich Hill can relate.
Site Tweak
the top menu bar now has drop-down items on it when you hover over them, instead of having to click on them. The only items with any "children" is "TCR Junk Drawer" for now.
Re: Site Tweak
I see that I'm mentioned 4 times in that drop-down.
Re: Site Tweak
I assume there's a joke in there somewhere, but I can't find it.
NBA Off-topic
Re: NBA Off-topic
My phone blew up around noon when the news apparently started making its way around.
My only guess is that they're hoping it takes 2-3 years for Beasley/Rose to develop, and by the Kobe will have retired. Then Phil "retires," Collins is fired, Phil rejoins the Bulls and we win another 6.
In reality though it's probably just another bad hire.
Re: NBA Off-topic
Did anyone tell Collins that MJ, Pippen and Grant are all gone?
Interesing that both MJ and Pax (apparently) have hired their former coach.
Projecting pitchers' hitting
Marquis 6th, Zambrano 5th
Re: Projecting pitchers' hitting
This is pretty interesting. However, since Gallardo is out for the year, and has a tiny MLB hitting track record (Pie "tore up" the minor leagues, too), he's gotta get dropped down. Also, Hernandez is too big to run, thereby destroying Silver's own theory that the good hitting pitchers are usually "athletic". Dropped!
So, based on this, Official TCR policy should have Z as 3rd best hitting pitcher in MLB, and Marquis, 4th.
When is Chipper's Drug Test scheduled?
Chipper 2-for-2 so far today -- now hitting .425.
On May 29th.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
The Collins news surprised the hell out of me, but I don't know that he's a bad hire. The guy knows his shit.
Also off-topic
Though not as much. Wrigley Field to host Blackhawks-Red Wings game this winter.
Who's going to sing the second-intermission stretch?
Re: Also off-topic
All things Chicago today:
I guess I like the Collins hire, but I suppose I'd rather have someone new like Avery Johnson. My only question is how good of a coach he really is. He had a pretty good transition in Dallas to succeed. We pretty much know what we're getting with Collins.
I'm still a hockey (and Hawks) fan, so I'm excited about the game. So long as they get Messmer to sing the National Anthem, they can do whatever else they want with it.
Re: Also off-topic
I say the Jamaican bobsled team should do the 2nd period stretch.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Unless Collins has had a major personality change over the past decade, not such a good hire for the Bulls. He was out of control at the end of his last tenure here, going so far as to bar both Jackson and Winter from the team's pre - game workouts (he was paranoid that they were after his job, apparently). Then there was the playoff game where he went after Mahorn (Detroit), and was subsequently thrown over the scorer's table. The guy was really wacked - out, and his emotional state directly affected the team's attitude at the end. Nothing wrong with being fiery, but he was something else entirely last time around.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
"So long as they get Messmer to sing the National Anthem, they can do whatever else they want with it."
And bring back Pat Foley in the booth as well.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
I thought I read they were signing Foley.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Collins is saying he hasn't accepted the job yet.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Collins' tenure here ended about 15 years ago, hardly fair to base much on that. He's had two jobs since then. Granted, he didn't do much during those jobs, but still...
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Collins is a good "teaching" coach and that is they needed. He was an above-average coach record wise and GM's only get 2 hires on average (Carwright and Boylan were temps) so Pax wanted a guy he knew could win.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
I was not in town when Doug last coached here.
There have been rumors of him, the extramarital kind, and a spouse of one of the Bull upper management.
The Score was hinting at that this afternoon.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Cindy Sandberg?
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
I thought that Skiles was a good "teaching coach." Oh well, hope it works out this time.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Collins doesn't seem all that different than Skiles to me, and I thought Skiles was a crappy coach. Of course, John Paxson is a crappy GM...so sounds like a perfect fit.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Paxson must have liked playing for the guy.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
so did Jordan...still a shitty coach.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
My impression of Collins is that he's a pretty nice guy.
I've met Skiles, and he's a complete jerk. A jerk who could shoot, but that hardly makes him a passable coach.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
"There have been rumors of him, the extramarital kind, and a spouse of one of the Bull upper management."
The story making the rounds those years was that his hotel room was a revolving door of different women, and that he had a substance abuse problem as well. That helps explain why there was no warning of his imminent firing, and why he didn't protest the decision at the time it was made.
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
..but id doesn't explain why Reinsdorf would have him back. Of course that was 20 years ago; but still, if it was that bad, would he want to rehire Collins?
Re: Game 53 Recap: Cubs 2, Dodgers 1
Point taken.

A left-handed one...
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I have been absent from the Forum for some time; a combination of personal crises within the family and work commitments has tended to keep me away. But during that time I have been pondering something which Kyle's question in the 'Questions' section brings vividly to the forefront of my mind: that is the question of mercy and repentance.
Kyle's question, about the attitude of the Church to aspects of what might be called personal sin is one which I suspect many in our modern world would raise, for few there are, indeed, who go through it without encountering some of the things Kyle mentions. One of my friends recently commented, apropos his own position, that it was a good job he was not a Christian because the Church would condemn him.
Now he is no great sinner, he's a divorced man who lives with a woman with whom he has a 'committed long term' relationship. He was convinced, from his experience (ex-Catholic) that the Church would ave nothing to do with him. Perhaps because I said nothing at the time, his words have been on my mind, and they set me to thinking about the theme of repentance and mercy.
I was recently looking at St. John VIII: 1-11, the story of Our Lord and the woman taken in adultery, and, in compiling a collection of passages from the Fathers, I was struck by how unlike the stereotype of my friend they were. I'd like to share the passages with you in a second post here, and then see what, if any, your views might be.
In Christ,
Widsom From the Fathers; St. John VIII:1-11 - John Charmley - 30-03-2010
From the Fathers
This Gospel reading offers us a chance to reflect upon the nature of sin, repentance and God?s judgement. This passage is omitted from most early MSS., although the 5th century Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis includes it. St. Augustine explains this by saying that those of a weaker faith may have omitted in because they imagined it would encourage adultery. St. Augustine was the first major commentator.
St. Augustine (Sermon 16A.4) tells us the Jewish leaders were trying to trap the Lord: ?The Lord had come not to destroy the Law but to fulfil it and to forgive sins.? They reasoned thus: ?If he says ?Let her be stoned,? we shall say to him, ?What has become of your forgiving sins? Aren?t you the one who says ?Your sins are forgiven you?? But if he says ?Let her go,? we shall say, ?What has become of your coming to fulfil the Law and not to destroy it??? When Jesus turns away it ?is as though he were saying: ?You bring me this sinner, you who are sinners yourselves. If you think I ought to condemn sins, I shall begin with you.? In his Harmony of the Gospels 4.10.17, St. Augustine comments that in writing on the ground, the Lord was indicating that their names would be written in sand and not in that heaven where the names of the disciples were written. That same finger of God which wrote the law on stone, writes it in our hearts.
He suggests that if, in response to the Lord?s challenge to them in verse 7 any had cast a stone, he would, as it says in St. Matthew 7:2, have thereby brought judgement upon himself. But it is as the Psalmist wrote (Ps. 14.3): ?They have all turned aside, all alike have become unprofitable; there is not one who does good, not even one.? St. Augustine concludes that his answer was ?the voice of justice. Let the sinner be punished, but not by sinners. Let the Law be carried out, but not by transgressors?.
St. Bede (Homilies on the Gospels 1.25) says that the fact that ?both before and after he have his opinion he bent and wrote on the ground admonishes us that both before we rebuke a sinning neighbour and after we have rendered to him the ministry of due correction, we should subject ourselves to a suitably humble examination, lest perhaps we be entangled in the same things that we censure ? People who bring an accusation against a fornicator may ignore the plague of pride with which they congratulate themselves for their own chastity ? God is greater than our heart and he knows all things.?
In his Tractate St. Augustine says that in the end the ?pitiful and the Pity? were all that were left, and that she would have expected to be stoned by the one who had no sin. Her words to Him are her confession of guilt and repentance, for she acknowledges Him to be Lord.. He condemns her sin, not her as a repentant sinner. But she is admonished and told to sin no more
St. Augustine concludes: ?They were hoping to find an occasion to accuse him as a transgressor of the law so he too would be stoned with the woman ? But Our Lord in his answer both maintained his justice without leaving out gentleness. They laid the snare for him, but they were the one caught in it.?
In Christ,
- Fr Gregory - 02-04-2010
John?s (as always) insightful comments on sin raise important and difficult questions.
How is the Church to deal with those who, apparently, break the rules? For example, by living together in a loving relationship that is not blessed by the Sacrament of Matrimony.
In Orthodoxy, Church law can be applied in two distinctly different ways: to use the technical terms, these are oikonomia (οἰκονομία) and akriveia (á¼ÎºÏίβεια). The latter refers to the strict application of the law: Church law says this is wrong and therefore in every case it is forbidden and excludes the person from the life of the Church.
Economy (oikonomia) refers to a ?generous? or pastoral application of the law, taking into account the specific personal circumstances of those involved. It does not make exceptions and does not create precedents, but is based on the assumption that it is God?s desire that all should be saved through participation in the life of His Church.
Let us take two (in fact, real in my pastoral experience) cases. In one case a man and a woman were married in the Church. He is a violent man who routinely beats up and rapes his wife. Church law says that they are legitimately married, entitled to participate in the life of the Church and to receive the Sacraments. There may well be no basis upon which she can obtain an ecclesiastical divorce from her violent husband.
In the second case, two people live in a loving and mutually caring relationship but happen not ? for person reasons ? to be sacramentally married. They are therefore, according to Church law, ?living in sin?.
How should the law of the Church be applied? Is a relationship, characterised by violence and brutality, legitimate and therefore blessed because it complies with a legal technicality, but one that is gentle and loving to be condemned because the technicality has not been met?
If the law is applied with strictness (akriveia) the answer must be ?yes?.
When courts interpret civil law they are often required to consider what was the intention of the parliament when enacting the law, not just what does the law literally say. So, too, in Church law we must ask what is God?s ultimate intention in inspiring laws to govern His Church.
Many who call themselves Christian seem not only to assume that the ?let him who is without sin cast the first stone? rule does not apply to them, but carry large baskets of rocks for use on every possible occasion. We cannot, in Christian terms, judge others by our own standards, but must seek to understand them from the divine perspective.
In applying the law with economy (oikonomia) we must seek to understand the specific circumstances of those involved and to seek, by compassion and healing, to draw them closer to the Church, and to God. Harsh condemnation will bring judgment not upon them, but upon the one who is casting stones.
This is not to say that every sin is acceptable for pastoral reasons! It is to say that I cannot make any judgment until and unless I understand those involved, and prayerfully and compassionately seek to guide them on their journey of faith.
Our Lord was consistently harsh in His judgment of those who applied strict legal technicalities but failed to show compassion, who ?weighed out tithes of mint and anise and cumin, and neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith.? [Matthew 23:23].
Fr Gregory
- John Charmley - 02-04-2010
Some very wise words, Fr. Gregory. Here, at least to me, is the voice of the Lord whom I have encountered.
I wish I had had your words about eight years ago. My closest friend, who became a Catholic, found his journey almost derailed by akriveia. His belief, which despite all his efforts I have never been able to share, that the Pope is indeed the rock upon which the Church is founded, drew him to the RCC a few years before my own journey brought me to the BOC. His local Catholic Church welcomed him and everything was lined up for his reception. Then, in a casual conversation with his priest the latter discovered that his 'convert' had been married, divorced and remarried; everything, to my friend's distress, was called off.
I spent hours, indeed in sum many days, trying to do what I could to help. He was in a very bad place. He showed me the letter he wrote to the local diocese and his priest. I will not break his confidence, but he is quite happy to let me say that he wrote to say that since he believed that there was no salvation outside the Church, and since his past sin was now keeping him from the Church, he felt his soul was in danger; it was as though he had committed a sin which could have no forgiveness. How I wish I had had the post which you have put here, back then.
In the end it was all resolved. He had married thirty years ago and divorced twenty years ago. With the help of the local diocesan official who dealt with these things, he was, as they put it, able to 'find a loophole' and to annul that first marriage. This meant further upset to his first wife, but she agreed so that he could do that which he felt he had to do. The whole thing left a sour taste for some of his friends.
How much better is the approach you outline. Of course we are not God and cannot judge as He does, but we know He is love, and we have, as you point out, enough examples of His impatience with those who carry around big baskets full of rocks (I love the way you put that ).
What made it all the sourer was the fact that a notoriously unfaithful friend of his was declared to be 'Catholic in good standing' when he also approached the RC Church - because his long-suffering wife had never actually brought herself to leave him.
All of this left me looking on, and to this day he cannot understand why, despite his best efforts, I cannot follow him. It is not just that I don't share his conclusion about the Pope (although I am happy with the concept of a primacy of honour) it is the mindset which the actions I have described seemed to betoken. That seemed legalism taken to extremes (as it usually is).
Of course, it takes time to get to understand the circumstances of the individuals, and to come to an inner understanding takes prayer and discernment, but if the priest is to bind and loose as the Lord does, He must surely strive to acquire these things? The mindset you describe seems to me the path down which the truly penitent can travel. I shall never forget my friend's distress for the year and a half it took to resolve his 'irregular' situation; nor the charity of his ex-wife in accepting what she felt was an entirely unfair verdict on her only marriage.
In Christ,

My daughter Veronica is a happy, bouncy, joyful, and much loved child. She is not a baby anymore. She's a little girl who looks forward to running to greet me when I get home from work, to riding with her papa on his tractor and eating her grandmother's good cooking. She has a big sister she looks up to and adores.
I am not a perfect person. I am a just a regular guy that goes to work every day to support his family and serves in our Army. More than anything, I am like any father who will do everything to make sure my children are loved, provided for, and protected. Like any father, my children are my world. Like any father, I want what is best for my daughter.
All last year, I tried to abide by the court order we were all under to not speak publicly on this case. I understood that it was put in place to protect my daughter's privacy. To me, she was more important that getting into a public battle, even if it meant not defending myself against all the dishonest things reported about me.
So much has been said about me and the time surrounding my daughter's birth. I know it's impossible to try to answer every false detail put out there, but here is the truth: My world was ripped apart when Veronica's birth mother ended our engagement suddenly and shut me out of her life forever.
In December 2008, I got down on one knee and proposed to the love of my life. She accepted with joy. It seemed like one week we were planning a big, outside wedding and celebrating ecstatically the news of our pregnancy, and the next I was receiving a phone call from Christy saying she didn't know how she was going to pay her bills and she was stressed. I told her I had money saved and not to worry and asked her what she needed. I remember specifically that it shocked me when she told me no, that she had "a plan." Still, I knew that my military benefits would provide the medical and financial support she needed, so I did everything I could to push the wedding date up.
Always in the back of my mind I was concerned about going to Iraq. I knew there was a possibility that I might not come home. I pushed for marriage because I needed to know they would be okay if something happened to me. She said no. She told me to stop calling her and stop texting her.
But I called. I texted. I begged. I pleaded. I drove four hours and knocked at my ex-fiancée's door, praying she would answer. I had offered financial support, military benefits, everything I had. When I was told no, I foolishly tried to go along with whatever she asked me to, hoping she would see how willing I was to do whatever it took.
When I did finally hear from her, she started texting me, asking me to sign my parental rights over to her. Every day for a month and a half I got a text asking me that same question. It was a horrible feeling, watching myself being shut off from the woman and daughter I loved so much. I knew I didn't have a chance to fight her for custody because I was about to leave for Iraq for a year. So after weeks of texts, I said I would sign my rights over, thinking I was agreeing for her to have full custody and she would let me see my daughter.
I still tried to contact Christy in the hopes that she would change her mind about marrying me. After Veronica was born, I tried to contact Christy, as did my mother and father, wanting to bring gifts we had purchased for Veronica. Still, no answer, no response. My mother told me that maybe I should just give Christy some space. That maybe in time she would come back to me. So I stopped calling Christy, stopped begging her to marry me.
It was painful and confusing. That whole time I did not know why Veronica's mother wanted me out of her life. That whole time I didn't know about all of the conversations that had been going on with the adoption agency. I didn't know financial arrangements were being made. I didn't know that the couple who wanted to adopt my daughter had been told I would give up my rights, that I was a deadbeat dad, that I would not pay child support.
Here is the truth: I am not a deadbeat dad. I did not abandon my daughter. I did not wait to "step up to the plate" until Veronica was four months old. I have been at the plate since I rejoiced at the news my fiancée was pregnant. I did not change my mind about how involved I wanted to be with Veronica. I have loved her and wanted her since the moment I knew she was to be my daughter.
My life was turned upside down when I was served with the adoption papers. Stupidly, I thought they were papers doing what we had texted about, giving Christy full custody while I was gone. It was literally the moment I finished signing that the server told me, "You just gave up your baby." I went to grab the papers from his hand and he told me if I took them I would go to jail. I hired an attorney right away and gave my father power of attorney to fight for custody of Veronica while I was off at war.
Ever since that day I have been in a legal battle for the right to raise my daughter. Ever since that day I have seen horrible things written about me. I have seen how the public has come to terrible conclusions about me. I've accepted that people will do and say anything to win custody of Veronica. But what I can't accept is that the courts would allow these lies sway their decisions. Somewhere in their rush to punish me for what they mistakenly think I've done, they stopped talking about what is best for my daughter.
The recent decision from the South Carolina Supreme Court has shocked my family. I cannot accept a decision that refuses to even consider what is best for my child. It should never be about what adults want and need, it has to be about Veronica. The Supreme Court has ruled that Veronica's interests don't matter. As a father who wants to protect his daughter, I cannot accept that.
I love my daughter with every fiber of being and I will do whatever is necessary to ensure that Veronica's interests are given the highest priority as they should be. I will admit that I made mistakes, but not supporting my unborn child and her mother was never my intent. I loved them both and would have done anything for them. I will never stop fighting for my daughter, ever.
My home is simple, but along with my beautiful wife Robin, who Veronica calls "Mommy," we have made it full of love.
My family is not rich, but we are happy. I make sure Veronica's days begin and end the same way every day, with me telling her that her daddy loves her, has always loved her, and will never stop loving her.
Dusten Brown, Veronica's biological father, wrote this for the Tulsa (Okla.) World.

LOCKPORT – A Lockport man was arraigned in Niagara County Court Friday on child sexual abuse charges that could land him in prison for the rest of his life if he is convicted.
Juan Rivera-Stupia III, 31, whose last known address was on Oliver Street, pleaded not guilty to two counts of predatory sexual assault against a child, first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, aggravated and regular first-degree sexual abuse, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth R. Donatello said Rivera-Stupia allegedly abused a girl under age 9 from April through December 2012, including one incident in which the girl was injured with a plastic object.
Donatello said Rivera-Stupia had a sexual misconduct conviction in Rochester in 1999, but he was granted youthful offender status, so he's not a registered sex offender.
Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas accepted Donatello's recommendation to increase Rivera-Stupia's bail from $25,000 to $100,000.
Assistant Public Defender A. Joseph Catalano said it doesn't matter what the bail is, because the unemployed Rivera-Stupia couldn't make the lower amount anyway.
Farkas set a tentative trial date of June 17.
In another sex case before Farkas Friday, the court-appointed defense attorney for David J. Grover said plea negotiations are under way.
Grover, 34, of Niagara Falls Boulevard, Town of Tonawanda, is accused of kidnapping and sexually abusing a 5-year-old North Tonawanda girl on July 28.
Grover turned down a plea offer in December, when he was represented by the public defender's office. Assistant Public Defender Michele G. Bergevin had to withdraw from the case when she belatedly learned that Grover's brother Kevin, whom she had once represented in a Family Court matter, had testified against David Grover before the grand jury.
The new attorney, David C. Douglas, had a lengthy meeting with Farkas and prosecutors Friday. Afterward, Farkas announced that the case was being adjourned until Feb. 14, which she said would be Grover's last chance to plead guilty before going to trial March 18.
Douglas said, "Sentencing is the key issue we're grappling with." He said if Grover is dissatisfied with the sentence in a new plea offer, the case will go to trial.

More than 1 million Americans wind up back in the hospital only weeks after they left for reasons that could have been prevented – a revolving door that for years as seemed impossible to slow.
Now Medicare has begun punishing hospitals with hefty fines if they have too many readmissions, and a top official says signs of improvement are beginning to emerge.
"We're at a very promising moment," Medicare deputy administrator Jonathan Blum told the Associated Press.
Nearly 1 in 5 Medicare patients is hospitalized again within a month of going home, and many of those return trips could have been avoided. But readmissions can happen at any age, not just with the over-65 crowd who are counted most closely.
Where you live makes a difference, according to new research that shows how much room for improvement there really is. In parts of Utah, your chances of being rehospitalized are much lower than in areas of New York or New Jersey, says a new report from the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care.
The AP teamed with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to explore, through the eyes of patients, the myriad roadblocks to recovery that make it so difficult to trim unneeded readmissions. The hurdles start as patients walk out the door.
"Scared to go home," is what Eric Davis, 51, remembers most as he left a Washington hospital, newly diagnosed with a dangerous lung disease. His instructions: stop smoking. He didn't know how to use his inhaler or if it was safe to exercise, until a second hospitalization weeks later.
There is no single solution. But what's clear is that hospitals will have to reach well outside their own walls if they're to make a dent in readmissions. Otherwise a slew of at-home difficulties – confusion about what pills to take, no ride to the drugstore to fill prescriptions, not being able to get a post-hospital check-up in time to spot complications – will keep sending people back.
"This is a team sport," says readmissions expert Dr. Eric Coleman of the University of Colorado in Denver.The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation this week begins an effort called "Care About Your Care," which offers consumers tips to guard against unnecessary readmissions. "Everyone has to understand their role in improving the quality of care, including families," said Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, the foundation's president.
Rehospitalizations are miserable for patients, and a huge cost – more than $17 billion a year in avoidable Medicare bills alone – for a nation struggling with the price of health care.
Yale University researchers recently reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association that people face a period of overall vulnerability to illness right after a hospitalization, because of weakness, sleep deprivation, loss of appetite and side effects of new medications.
But ask returning patients what went wrong, and Coleman said nonmedical challenges top the list.
New York's Montefiore Medical Center now sends uninsured patients home with two weeks' worth of medication so they don't have to hunt an affordable place to fill a prescription, said Dr. Ricardo Bello, a cardiac surgeon.
In the nation's capital, Dr. Kim Bullock recalled her frustration with a diabetic hospitalized nine times in one year in part because of transportation. He felt too lousy to ride two buses and the subway to the nearest Medicaid clinic for regular care.
The Dartmouth study found fewer than half of patients saw a primary care doctor within two weeks of leaving the hospital.
Barbara McCoy tried. A New York hospital lowered the 44-year-old diabetic's dangerously high blood sugar and told her to call her own doctor immediately about how to prevent a recurrence. But she couldn't get an appointment until the following month. A week later, her blood sugar soared again, and she raced back to the emergency room.
This time, the hospital pulled out the stops during a weeklong stay. A nutritionist offered intense diet advice. An endocrinologist changed her medications. She was taught how to safely adjust her own insulin. "Why couldn't they have done all that the first time?," McCoy said. "I don't understand."

FBI agent conducts shooter seminar
March 3, 2013
LISBON — A gunman enters a business or school where you are located....
As a responsible, law abiding, community oriented, intelligent person, you calmly take out your concealed weapon and you surprise the shooter with two in the chest and one in the forehead. Liberals would say that's an irrational response, because they find being a victim morally superior to stopping a killer.

Because you are just a Know It All Punk who wasn't man enough to join the military but you think you're a real tuff guy! Punk in school, Punk now! Just like Most of Salem and Perry Twp Police officers. PUNKS with a chip on their shoulder because they got pick on in school. Mingus I really hope that one day you HAVE to face real gun fire coming at you. I TRULY DO, I would love to see the headlines, "Local man urinates and deficates himself while gunman shoots at him.

The fact is, no one knows how they will react until in the actual situation. The military and civilian police forces around the country provide intensive training in differing scenarios, in hopes that the training will kick in before the fear does. As the agent said, once you make the decision to intervene there is no turning back. So, if I would find myself in such a situation, I would first ask God for the strength and wisdom to take the action required, then in spite of my soiled, wet britches, try.

The Incline volleyball team rebounded from a loss in the first set to upset visiting Dayton in four games this past Friday.
The Highlanders (6-4) could not duplicate the effort on Tuesday, however, as they traveled to Pershing County and lost in straight sets.
Against Dayton, after dropping the opening game 13-25, the Highlanders stormed back to win three close sets, 25-21, 25-23 and 25-23.
"The Dayton match was great," said Incline head coach Tacy Kelly. "The girls played together as team and came out and took care of business."
Claire Kent finished with 12 kills, four blocks and 21 digs for Incline, while Megan Golden had 17 assists and five digs, Katie Orlady and Michelle Tokunaga each had 11 digs, Kira Porter had six kills and four blocks, Ronnie Flores had four kills and 13 digs, Sophie Shorin had seven aces and 13 digs, and Taylor Binney had two kills.
"I was proud to beat Dayton for the first time since I have been coaching," Kelly said. "We ended the week with solid win."
The Dust Devils (16-3) played without their top player, Madison Foley, who sat out with an ankle injury.
The Highlanders did not fare as well against Pershing County, which is off to an 18-1 start to the season (coincidentally, the Mustangs only loss came against Dayton). Incline fell in straight sets, 9-25, 11-25 and 16-25.
"My team didn't really show up to play," Kelly said. "The long bus ride always is a challenge for the girls. Pershing is very strong and experienced team."
Kent tallied seven kills, two blocks and 19 digs, Tokunaga had 10 digs, Orlady seven digs, Flores three kills, Trisha Lincoln two kills, Golden two kills and eight assists, and Christina Cruz one ace.
UP NEXT: Incline is scheduled to play at Silver Stage on Saturday and at Portola on Tuesday. The Highlanders return home to host South Tahoe on Oct. 6.

Almost but not quite
By Writergirl
from New England
My husband bought this for me in a Levenger bricks and mortar store, after I'd seen it on the website. It's almost the case for which I'd hoped, but not quite. My iPhone 4S fits in it, but not quite snugly enough. Under some conditions, the phone falls out if you don't hold the case upright. Putting a stack of business cards in the outside pocket helps, but after a week or so, the case seems to have stretched. Even with the business cards, it has tumbled out of the case and onto the floor. It's the right idea, and I love that it's made in the U.S., but I don't love watching my phone hit the floor without any protection.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for the review of your Tabula iPhone 4 sleeve. I apologize for this inconvenience. I understand how frustrating this can be and would like to offer you some other options. Levenger has a 100% guarantee on our products and would like to make it right for you.I have made your concerns known to our Product Development and Design Team for possible improvements. I will be contacting you to discuss some other phone case options.

Free college online courses at ETSU
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Students will get to participate in college courses at East Tennessee State University for free by going on line.
Beginning this fall, the university will offer two core classes through the open buccaneer university system or "OpenBucs."
The courses can be taken for free to help students decide if they're prepared to go in that direction.
Karen King, Vice Provost for E-Learning ETSU says, "It gives students an opportunity to enroll, to go through the course, and see how they do with no risk. They don't end up with a huge debt, or a bad grade on their transcript."
If a student wants college credit then they'll have to pay a total of three hundred dollars to take a test and go through an evaluation of learning.
The first two classes offered will be U.S. History since 1877 and introduction to music.

An Overview: Municipal Antitrust Liability
Jonathan Rose
Arizona State University College of Law
Arizona State Law Journal, Vol. 1980, 1980
This article is an introduction to an antitrust symposium regarding municipal liability. The article provides an overview of municipal antitrust liability in the context of the Supreme Court's decision in City of Lafayette v. Louisiana Power & Light. Prior to the Court's decision in City of Lafayette, city officials tended to view the legal problems of municipalities as distant from antitrust matters such as price fixing, market allocation and other problems faced by private business entities. They were dismayed by the consequences of the Court's holding in City of Lafayette: antitrust seemed to be a difficult legal specialty, antitrust litigation was perceived as complex, and potential damages could be astronomical. As this introduction explains, the world of municipal officials has not been shattered by the Supreme Court's decision in City of Lafayette. Their world, however, is different; new legal doctrines must be learned and new legal problems must be anticipated and treated.

A Perry woman was arrested on assault and other charges Wednesday morning after she was accused of injuring three Buffalo police officers trying to restrain her while Bry-Lyn Hospital staffers were trying to take her daughter to a patient room for treatment.
The 32-year-old woman was charged with second-degree assault, harassment, child endangerment and obstructing governmental administration.
She is accused of kicking one male police officer in the groin, kicking a second male officer in his left leg and injuring a third male officer's left index finger, after spitting at all of them as they came to help hospital staff deal with her.

BioCircuits Log
- 1/25: Today we plated up some K-25 from a slant and stuck the plates in the incubator. Josh and I made lame petri dishes with lumpy agar. Ranjana's was, of course, perfect. We discovered that we don't have much of what we need for the next step, in particular a shaker-incubator. So we spent most of the time figuring scoping out and ordering equipment. Later in the day, I order the shaker-incubator, a water bath, another set of pipettors and two more owl gel boxes.
- 1/26: We took the plates out of the incubator and put them in the refrigerator that we inherited with a bunch of possibly abandoned stuff in it. The frig doesn't smell very good. We will need to figure out how to dispose of everything and then clean the frig really well. Josh and I also perused the biobricks wiki and dreamed of the possibilities. It looks like there will be more equipment that weneed if we want to do anything beyond what is in our textbook. Sigh. In for a penny in for a pound, I suppose.
- 2/1: We transfer plated e. coli to LB suspensions today. Our shaker incubator has not arrived yet, so we had to "invent" something: a vortexer with a styrofoam tub holder taped to the top -- all stuck into an incubator.

Go through Rick's personal gear bag and continue toward photography enlightenment through his memorable tips, or "Sammonisms."
Join Rick in Colorado's stunning Great Sand Dunes National Park for an introduction to landscape photography and the essential gear that can help take your photos to the next level.
Work with light, shadows, composition and exposure as you take photos at sunrise, which is one of the most interesting times of day to shoot.
Experiment with filters, lenses and composition techniques as you learn to think like a painter. Rick shows you how shooting at midday can be more rewarding than you may have thought!

Explore digital darkroom techniques for landscape photography, including black-and-white settings, format options, selecting your strongest photos, and more.
"It was good to know the gear one needs for landscape photography: the lenses, filters and the stand. Do not forget the the photographer's jacket and the shoes. I found (this class) useful, even though I have been photographing for 50 years. I was 'taking' photos, now I can 'make' photos. Thank you."

There's just a lot to laugh at here: The saddest and least-effective series of crossovers I have ever seen; Mack Maine being forced to play along and act like there isn't something extremely embarrassing happening right in front of him; history's most sullen and unearned mean mug. It's all so good.

We write the name of the day on the chalkboard every morning because it's pretty
I'll know
what day it is.
They sizzle and fizzle by. At night we catch fireflies - songs have taught my children to know them by that name but I will always call them lighting bugs. Better than Gray's version of glow butts.
I show them how to capture soft and gentle in their hands, I poke generous holes in loose foil lids with a pencil. When we are asleep they fly back home to their families. We must be very careful with their wings.
Last night we went out for ice cream and they wanted double scoops and I said why not. I had two, too. And I didn't regret it.

Your Take: What Are You Saving For?

This week I want to know what you're saving goals are for this year, a year after one of the worst recessions we've seen in a long time, and how you hope to accomplish it. It's going to be hard to meet those goals, certainly harder than in the economically prosperous years, but the key to meeting your goals is to set them in the first place.
To help you along, SmartyPig has offered to give away four $50 SmartyPig gift cards to four lucky Bargaineering.com commenters. The gift cards can only be used to start a SmartyPig goal or fund an existing one. Winners will be sent a physical gift card in the mail, which they can redeem at anytime.

Paul and Laura are back in action and here to bring you the hot stories that 'Softies are pinging each other about. Stories like these:
Microsoft on the ones and twos!
Oops, something didn't work.
LOL . . . gives him a high five and then has to wipe her hand clean . . . and the part of Howard Hughes will now be played by Laura Foy . . .
Sorry Laura. It is pronounced 'Dead Mouse'. Awesome technology though! Can wait to see it in the clubs!!
DJ Thugys iz in da house!
I agree with Paul, the panoramic street view stuff could be really usefyul, especially if you are going to somewhere you have never been to before.
Two thumbs down to street view because they hide the original virtual reality view. I much prefer the virtual reality view as default and toggle between the new 2D view and the older 3D view.
I say two thumbs up for Streetside and now it's only waiting till you can expose live data on it instead of watching ads from 2yrs ago framed in the picture...
Well, forget about the "lame" DJ Panel. This is nothing real new. If you own a touchscreen you can touch on every mixing/producing software as you want.
But have a look at this one:
Like the Street Side. Some people have anxiety issues about going to unfamiliar
places. It can help to see exactly what an area looks like before going there.
I hope Laura was joking about Dead Mau 5 My brother always calls him that just for fun.
Joel Zimmerman AKA Deadmau5 DOES use regular PCs at home. He started out just using FL-Studio on regular generic computers. He tours with MacBooks because it's more portable but it's nice to see that even today after all the money he's made he still likes messing with Windows machines.
Those transparent DJ panels are quite nice but they're even more expensive than the old Jazzmutant Lemur controllers.
I'm waiting for Gesturespark to be released. It looks like allot of fun.
I'm guessing someone's gonna come out with a controller like that for WP7 once Mango is released because of the new UDP support.
From the 2011 Shot Show in Vegas, something to match Foy's shirt:

It says: "Nice show! Guys. I use Streetside because it's fun living in shanghai and exploring NY. Otherwise i need to agree with laura there is no practical use."
p.s. Try to look at it like a Magic Eye poster from the 90s.
The name "deadmau5" originated when he found a dead mouse in his computer while he was replacing his video card (likely a PC . He discussed this with chat room users and became known as "that dead mouse guy." His nickname "Dead Mouse" was too long for the IRC character limit, and was then shortened to deadmau5.

Ah....that's what Tina had on the last show.

quote: Commercial nuclear power station India's Kakrapar-1 reactor is the world's first reactor which uses thorium rather than depleted uranium to achieve power flattening across the reactor core. India, which has about 25% of the world's thorium reserves, is developing a 300 MW prototype of a thorium-based Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR). The prototype is expected to be fully operational by 2011, after which five more reactors will be constructed. Considered to be a global leader in thorium-based fuel, India's new thorium reactor is a fast-breeder reactor and uses a plutonium core rather than an accelerator to produce neutrons. As accelerator-based systems can operate at sub-criticality they could be developed too, but that would require more research. India currently envisages meeting 30% of its electricity demand through thorium-based reactors by 2050.
quote: There is enough nuclear fuel in the ground to last millions of years.

on February 6, 2013 - 12:10 AM
May 9, 1926 – Feb. 4, 2013
Sister Mary Nazaria Stoklosa, a teacher for many years, died Monday in the Colette Hilbert Care Community, Hamburg. She was 86.
Born Irene Stoklosa in Detroit, she entered the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph as a postulant on Aug. 16, 1944, and professed her final vows on July 11, 1949.
She earned bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and worked for 37 years in education at schools in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Michigan and Rochester, as well as St. Joseph's in North Tonawanda.
Sister Stoklosa moved to the care community in 2005. She spent a great deal of time reading and praying the rosary. In her younger years, Sister Stoklosa possessed an exceptional soprano voice and would sing with other sisters in the choir. She enjoyed participating in weekly activities at the care community with a smile on her face and a welcoming disposition, and her latest creation, a fluffy snowman, is still on display.
She is survived by nieces and nephews.
A memorial prayer service will be conducted at 6:30 p.m. today in Immaculate Conception Convent, 5229 South Park Ave.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in the convent chapel.
