Wes Gilberton, QMI Agency
The Los Angeles Kings are victims of their own success.
That seems to be the way head coach Darryl Sutter sees it.
The Kings lost only four playoff games during their romp to a Stanley Cup celebration in 2012 but have already suffered five setbacks this spring, even though they have survived the first two rounds.
Must be something wrong with the defending champs, right?
"I think every team that makes the playoffs goes through a lot of adversity. That's one thing you get from the regular season," Sutter lectured reporters after his squad eliminated the San Jose Sharks in Tuesday's winner-take-all finale of their NHL Western Conference semifinal.
"And to win a round, you have to go through adversity. I know you're a little bit taken by surprise this year because you think the team should win every game they play, but it doesn't happen like that. Ever."
There's no sense counting losses in the playoffs. Not if you're racking up wins at the right rate.
The Kings reached four victories faster than the St. Louis Blues in the opening round.
With Tuesday's Game 7 triumph against the Sharks, Sutter's squad won the race to four wins in the second series, too.
They're officially halfway to becoming the first franchise to repeat as Stanley Cup champions since the Detroit Red Wings doubled up in 1997 and '98, even if they're not making it look as easy as last year.
"That's the mark of a good team and good players is finding ways to win," said Kings winger Dustin Penner. "Obviously, it's a lot different than starting series going up 3-0 last year, being the road team, but I think we would have been fooling ourselves to think we would have gone through the first two series this year in the manner we did last year.
"It would have been nice, but every playoff poses its different challenges and it's up to the team and players as a whole to rise to the challenge. We've been able to do that so far. It's been a lot more wear and tear on us mentally and physically this year, but we've been able to overcome it thus far and we're only halfway done."
They're not following the same script as 2012, but what the Kings are doing this spring is no less impressive.
They're getting timely goals from their top-line forwards, with Justin Williams providing the heroics with both tallies in Tuesday's win over the Sharks.
The return of Matt Greene and the addition of Robyn Regehr gives them a couple of bruisers on the blueline.
Jonathan Quick's stats — a 1.50 goals-against average, .948 save percentage and three shutouts so far — are just as good as last spring, when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy.
If Quick hadn't robbed Sharks winger Joe Pavelski with about five minutes remaining in the third period of Tuesday's finale, the two teams might still be logging overtime minutes at the Staples Center.
"Like the rest of the people in the building and watching on TV, we get kind of spoiled and get used to it because (Quick) does it in practice, too. He never gives up on a puck," Penner said. "You almost expect those saves during a game because we see them so often during practice."
Opponents expect them, too, because of what he did one year ago.
"He won the Conn Smythe last year, and I was saying to a couple of guys (Tuesday), he makes better saves than I think he did all playoff run last year," said Kings defenceman Drew Doughty. "He's just been standing on his head for us. It's great to have him do that, but I think we have to back him up a little more."

Country fans expected the Country Music Association to honor singer-songwriter Willie Nelson as its annual Country Music Awards Thursday night in Nashville.
But the simple and moving tribute to late actor Andy Griffith was a surprise.
Co-host Brad Paisley played the theme song to "The Andy Griffith Show" as scenes from the show flashed in the background.
Griffith, the actor who played small-town sheriff Andy Taylor on the long-running TV show, died July 3 at his home in North Carolina. He was 86.
Lady Antebellum kicked off the tribute to Nelson with "Always On My Mind" and "Crazy."
Nelson, who received the lifetime achievement award, was also serenaded by Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

Clay season Thread 2008
A little recap : Jo won't be playing Monte Carlo because of an injury on his knee. They have made him an injection and he will make a test in the middle of the next week to see if he is still in pain.
Tournament to be played (as of now) :
Munich April 28-May 4
Rome AMS May 5-11
Hamburg AMS May 12-18
Roland Garros May 26-June 8
The clay is near a new surface for him because he skipped the clay season last year and was injured most of the time before. So it's difficult to say what he will be able of achieving on it.
But he says he likes the surface and, like you foreigner may know, he is french and Roland Garros is a special place for us. So he will be very motivated to give us some good results.
As I see it, I think he doesn't really have the best style to play on clay. He's got more of an attacking style for fast surface. But it's possible to be aggressive on clay with some little adjustements and hard work, so we may be very surprised by him in the future.
His most disadvantage ( english :confused: ) on clay must be his lack of patience and his trend to frustrate himself when the break don't come early. But he knows how to construct a point and that's going to be very useful.
By the way, it's not only a place for commenting his results, you can also cheer for him, follow his match all together and share with us wathever you think is good for us to hear on him.
Edit: The tests were positives and he just returns to training this week. The come back is planned for Hamburg, Rome at best.
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
he'll play vs Gilles Simon in the 1st round:sad::wavey:
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
Another article about Jo in Rome here:
But it's not interesting.
Like in Indian Wells, he's discovering the tournament since it's the first time he's playing there and he likes it.
He appreciates they are well isolated from the fans because it's terrible as soon as he gets closer to the gates, he says - so the journalist adds "better that than not being able to play".
He started playing again on last Thursday only - but it's the same for Gilles, they'll both have 3 days of training only.
Jo means the clay is fast and it suits him.
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
And Wino also answers to the "criticisms" about a possibly rushed comeback:
"If the knee is bound to give up on him, it will happen anyway and to play now or in 2 weeks only won't change much in that regard."
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
Thanks for the updates guys. I hope I'll be able to see the televised match tonight. I wish him all the best of luck, and that he can sustain long periods of match play without discomfort. Hope the faster Rome surface gives him a good grounding for the rest of the clay season. Allez!
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
In l'Equipe today:
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
So in a few words, this match is not part of a competition, it's part of a training session :p
Still, it's great to have something hot to discuss in this topic, instead of the daily report of injury. :)
BTW, who will you pull for, Truc ? :devil:
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
I know it might be hard to understand for some people, but I would cheer for Gilles Simon over the entire ATP tour. :p
I'm for Gillou tonight, but I'm scared. I'm sure Jo can play well on clay, I find it pretty annoying when people keep talking about his poor clay record.
Since Jo clearly has the mental edge imo and I don't think Gilles is in much better shape physically, I'm not confident at all.
But I just saw the odds are completely even on Betfair & Co., so I hope the bookies are right.

Re: Clay season Thread 2008
Most important for Jo is getting match practice and let's hope the knee will be ok.
Good luck!
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
He lost but whatever. :)
He was just in need of a training session and he has one of two hours and 20 minutes. That's good enough for me. ;)
The most important thing is to see if the knee hold back and if he feels some pain tomorow.
I am quite sure that with more matches and a win or two, he can make something at Roland. Maybe already at Hamburg next week or at Marrakech.
I was behind a scoreboard, so anyone who've seen this match is welcome to give his impression. I would like to know if Gilou choke at 5/3 and if Jo choke on his three match points, or if it was just a beautifull undecided match. :)
Edit: GM is as bad as usual. They dare attack a player who don't touch a ball for a month and is still playing with an injury on his knee. Yet the guy found a way to dispute a tough three setter on a surface he practically never played on the three last years.
Some people just amazed me.
You did great, Jo. We are very proud of you.
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
He "choked" in the TB and lost to "Simple Simon", that's as low as it goes for GM, don't worry about that thread!
He was playing poorly during one set and a half imo, but he did well to stay somehow in the match and I didn't find the match that bad from the end of the 2nd set - apart from the two choke jobs, but well, a bit of drama doesn't hurt. :p
Gilles choked badly at 5-3, but Jo also played a nice game to come back at 5-5 (or 6-6?) then, he was driving Gilles nuts with his dropshots, for example, I thought it was nice to see him vary his game and try to find a solution. He always kept fighting, although he was obviously very rusty, his fitness seemed OK too, so it looked like a very decent effort to me for a first match after only a couple of days of training.
But I was so much into it, I can't really judge.
He was mad at himself after having missed the MP, but didn't look crushed at all during the handshake. He was very gracious in defeat.
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
Better luck in Hamburg Jo.
Re: Clay season Thread 2008
Unfortunately I was unable to see the match because there was problem with DSTV in my region (no signals whatsoever) - horrible timing :mad::mad::fiery::banghead:
But, I'm pleasantly surprised to learn that Tsonga played a competitive match, and even had match points. After all, he was 3-5 in the 3rd set, but he still fought on and took the match to a deciding tie-break. And, considering that speed and movement are so essential on clay, he did very well indeed and I'm proud of him.
Our man is a fighter and he always wants to give the best of himself. He has had practically no physical preparation before the clay season on account of his knee injury. He didn't have to play at his best, nor should we expect him to at this time. I think this is a positive start for him. After yesterday, he will be able to assess his physical condition and have a better idea of how much he can extend himself for the rest of the clay season and thereafter. All the best to him. :hug:

Hey Guys.
I am well aware that this issue has been brought up before, but after looking around the net, and finding lots of articles explaining the issue, I cannot seem to get it to work.
Basically, I have a tool tip that has a PNG background image, which has a rounded square as a graphic (so the background behind the square is transparent), and it needs to fade in and fade out when called (with a opacity animation).
The image is set as a background-image in a div.
This works fine in all browsers, but in ALL IE BROWSERS there is an annoying black border that shows up around the png image.
I tried using the alphaImageLoader filter to get rid of the border, but when I remove background-image and then set the filter property, nothing shows up.
Here is my CSS:
I have tried remoing the -ms-filter declaration (so only having one filter property) but nothing seems to work.
I have also tried setting display:block and display:inline-block.
No luck.
Any ideas?
Did you try setting border:0 ? lol :). If it's linked (which I'm assuming it is since it's a hover fade thingy ma bobby) then try this.
a img{border:0;}
Got a link to look at if it doesn't work?
Please read my post before replying.
No it is not a link and NO there is NO img tag nested within AND NO there NO border in use.
What does it look like with the JS turned off?
If the black border is due to the opacity filter being faded in then you are running into the fading opacity bug mentioned in this thread.
If that's not the issue then we would probably need a link to check it out:)
You never said there was no link, although you did say there was no <img> and you never said you didn't try border:0 so stop being rude :).
Got a link?

Prospectus Hit and Run
Vlad and the Right Fielders
On August 4, Vladimir Guerrero came off of the disabled list after a four-week stay due to assorted leg woes. At the time he was sidelined, he was hitting a thin .290/.319/.415 with four homers, well below his career norms. Since returning, he's caught fire, going 20-for-51 with six homers, including the 400th bomb of his career, a milestone which started plenty of talk about his Hall of Fame chances.
Guerrero is 34 years old, but this year's injuries-which also included a torn pectoral muscle that cost him nearly six weeks-have made him seem like an especially old 34. Even if he plays in all of the Angels' remaining 45 games, his season total will be his lowest since his 1997 rookie campaign. Despite being dogged by back woes for several years, he'd actually been rather durable until this year, averaging 150 games a year from 1998 through 2008, a span which contained just one lengthy DL stint (2003) and two of minimal duration (2005 and 2008). That durability has helped him rack up some pretty solid numbers thus far:
Like Todd Helton, whose Cooperstown case I examined last week, Guerrero's stats owe something to the current high-offense era. His AIR score, which indexes the combination of park and league scoring levels into one number to provide an idea of how favorable or unfavorable the conditions a player faced were, is 110, meaning that his surroundings have inflated scoring levels by 10 percent, historically speaking. Hence the gap between his career ranking in OPS, which doesn't adjust for scoring context, and in EqA, which does.
All in all, that's a fairly strong resum�, with the only smudge on it beyond his career length being an utterly dismal post-season track record (.240/.329/.293 in 85 PA over five series, four of them losses) the only smudge besides his career length. Of course, he hasn't retired yet, and the conventional wisdom is that he's Cooperstown-bound when he does. He's not in bad shape, JAWS-wise; here's where he sits among the currently active and recently retired right fielders whose careers have significantly overlapped his, using the December build of JAWS, which doesn't include 2009 figures yet:
Player Career Peak JAWS EqA Ballot/Age Manny Ramirez 90.2 52.9 71.6 .329 37 Avg. HoF RF 87.2 52.2 69.7 .306 Gary Sheffield 80.1 49.6 64.9 .315 40 Bobby Abreu 70.8 50.7 60.8 .310 35 Sammy Sosa 69.6 49.3 59.5 .292 2013 Vladimir Guerrero 69.3 48.8 59.1 .315 34 Brian Giles 62.7 45.7 54.2 .314 38 Tim Salmon 59.2 46.6 52.9 .303 2012 Larry Walker 63.7 41.9 52.8 .303 2011 Ichiro Suzuki 53.1 48.2 50.7 .297 35
This isn't nearly as strong a cohort as the first basemen I examined last week, though to be fair, the bar in right field is higher than at any position besides second base due to the presence of some cat named Babe Ruth. However, I've now removed the impact of Ruth's pitching from his JAWS total, something I neglected to do back in December; the total impact amounts to shaving 0.8 WARP off the average career line and 0.4 off the JAWS total. It's small beer, but I'm convinced it's the right thing to do.
Guerrero's on pace for just 1.9 WARP this year, which pushes him up to 60.0 JAWS. His peak is a bit shy of the standard for Hall right fielders, but it's not out of the question he could add to it at this stage with a bit of luck in the health department, perhaps spurred by more time at DH. Barring that, he'll have to methodically accumulate nearly 20 WARP over the next several years to reach the standard, a worthwhile trek which would likely be accompanied by the the pursuits of 500 home runs and 3,000 hits; Bill James' Favorite Toy gave him 80 percent and 53 percent chances of those milestones coming into this year, but as his first-half performance shows, such toys are easily broken.
In any event, Guerrero's chances for the Hall are helped by the fact that there's not a single shoo-in here, particularly among the three players whom we know will reach the BBWAA ballot before him. Salmon's never been viewed as anything beyond a Hall of Very Good type, and is easily dispensed with in this context. Walker's got a reasonable resume from a traditional standpoint, starting with a .313/.400/.565 line, 383 homers, 2,160 hits, the 1997 NL MVP Award, five All-Star appearances, seven Gold Gloves, and strong scores on both the Hall of Fame Monitor (157) and Standards (57) scales. Thanks to playing eight-and-a-half seasons with the Rockies, he's also fifth on the AIR list (117), and while he ranks 18th in career OPS, he's just 103rd in EqA (.303). His career and peak JAWS scores are well below the Hall's standards; he'd outrank just six of the Hall's 23 right fielders, all of them Veterans Committee selections: Kiki Cuyler, Harry Hooper, Ross Youngs, Chuck Klein, Sam Rice, and the all-time worst Hall of Fame selection from a JAWS standpoint, Tommy McCarthy.
Sosa's 609 career home runs are overshadowed by persistent rumors of steroid use, rumors which gained more credence when his name was leaked as one of the players who tested positive during the supposedly anonymous 2003 survey testing. Like his counterpart in the 1998 home-run chase, Mark McGwire, he'll likely be turned into an example by the same body which once put him on a pedestal, even going so far as to vote him as that year's NL MVP. He doesn't fare well on the JAWS scale, mainly because, outside of his 1998-2002 stretch, he didn't walk that much, keeping his WARP totals low.
Despite a connection to the BALCO scandal, Sheffield might escape the fate of McGwire and Sosa. Despite the controversies in which he's embroiled himself throughout his career, from the subsequently recanted assertions about intentional errors during his early Brewers days to his unhappy exits from Los Angeles, New York, and Detroit, he's never been the focus of public outrage the way that those aforementioned sluggers and fellow BALCO buddy Barry Bonds have. One gets the sense that the writers have appreciated the good copy he's given them over the years, so perhaps their evaluation of his candidacy will forego the soapbox derby in favor of a clearer assessment of his accomplishments.
For certain, the traditional numbers are there for Sheff: a .292/.393/.514 line, 2,683 hits, 509 home runs, nine All-Star appearances, three top-five finishes in the MVP voting (including 2004, when Vlad won), a World Series ring, a batting title, all-time top 25 rankings in homers, RBI, and walks, plus scoring 156 on the Monitor and 61 on the Standards. He doesn't fare nearly so well on the JAWS scale, because Clay Davenport's defensive system literally hates him. It saddles him with an all-time high -207 FRAA, including a whopping 48 runs below average in 1996, when he was the Marlins' right fielder alongside Devon White. One could almost understand such a figure if he were still playing the infield; he scores at -94 FRAA in less than 550 adjusted games at short and third, and his 1993 numbers (-53 FRAA, in a year where he fielded a Hobsonian .899) bring to mind images of Pedro Guerrero playing the hot corner while being mauled by a grizzly bear. Still, this one doesn't pass the smell test; the team's defense as a whole was seven runs above average even with an apparent black hole in right field. For what it's worth, Sean Smith's Total Zone numbers, which make use of what play-by-play information can be gleaned from Retrosheet and which are now online at Baseball Reference, score Sheffield as 162.9 runs below average for his career, but just -15.7 for the season in question. Clearly, reasonable minds differ as to how bad he was as bad fielders go.
As with Chipper Jones when I studied the issue last year, this is such an outlier that it raises enough eyebrows for me to remove defense from the equation for a secondary assessment. Crediting him with average fielding thoughout his career would give him a generous score of 99.1 career, 50.6 peak, and 74.9 JAWS, as compared to what's now 66.2 JAWS given this season's surprisingly solid performance. He probably won't reach the standard given his current age and fragility, but the ultimate question of whether he lies just below the mark or just above it depends upon the evolving measurements (including our own play-by-play system) of his defensive worth, or lack of same. Suffice it to say that his candidacy is in a much more gray area than most.
The man who replaced him in pinstripes, Bobby Abreu, is one of those players who scores better on the JAWS metrics than he will in the eyes of voters. While his overall line is strong (.300/.405/.495), his career numbers aren't dazzling: 2,074 hits, but never more than 183 in any one season; 252 homers, but never more than 31; 343 steals, but never more than 40. He's got just two All-Star appearances for his career, and has never finished higher than 14th in the MVP voting, though he scores exactly 100 on the Monitor and 51 on the Standards, thanks mainly to seven seasons batting .300 or better, seven driving in 100 runs, and eight scoring 100 runs. His keen batting eye has helped him accumulate 100 walks in a season eight times, but that's exactly the kind of skill that's undervalued by the BBWAA voters; note that the guys in the Hall of Screwed, such as Ron Santo, Tim Raines, and Bobby Grich, also derived a good portion of their value from their plate discipline. With a 5.8 WARP season thus far this year, he's at 63.7 overall, but he's probably doomed as far as the voting is concerned, particularly as he's a bit old to start mounting a serious challenge for 3,000 hits.
Brian Giles is fighting a losing battle with the Mendoza Line this year and looks completely done, so he's easily skipped, which leaves Manny Ramirez and Ichiro Suzuki. Manny's numbers are those of a Cooperstown-bound superstar. He's got 2,464 career hits and counting, and a .314/.411/.593 line which includes the eighth-highest career slugging percentage of all time and the ninth-highest OPS. He's hit 540 home runs, including five seasons over 40, and another seven in the 30s. Add in 12 All-Star appearances, two World Series rings, and a World Series MVP, four top-five finishes in the MVP voting, a batting title, 211 on the Monitor and 65 on the Standards, and it's easy to envision him not just as a Hall of Famer but as a winning first-ballot candidate. He's already topped the JAWS standard, even with his lousy defense (-81 FRAA, which is probably on the low side given how he fares via Ultimate Zone Rating) and a high AIR score (112). His .330 EqA ranks in a virtual tie for 11th all-time (I don't have enough decimals to break any ties):
Rank Player EqA 1. Babe Ruth .363 2. Ted Williams .359 3. Barry Bonds .354 4. Albert Pujols .347 5. Mickey Mantle .342 6. Lou Gehrig .341 7. Rogers Hornsby .337 8. Frank Thomas .336 9. Mark McGwire .334 10. Stan Musial .332 11. Ty Cobb .330 Willie Mays .330 Manny Ramirez .330 14. Hank Aaron .328 Dick Allen .328 Mel Ott .328 17. Johnny Mize .327 Edgar Martinez .327 Joe Jackson .327 20. Dan Brouthers .326 Joe DiMaggio .326
Alas, the recent steroid-related revelations, not only his 50-game suspension earlier this year but last month's allegations placing him on the 2003 list, suggest that an easy path will elude him. The Boston media mafia's turning upon him over his ugly exit from Beantown will almost certainly dent his vote totals in the short term, but I suspect he'll wind up in Cooperstown nonetheless. After all, if Jim Rice can get there, how hard can it be?
As for Ichiro, he'll have his own hurdles to clear, starting with the fact that his major league career didn't begin until his age-27 season in 2001; technically, he's not even qualified until he appears in 10 major league seasons. He won't have the career numbers to make easy direct comparisons to other Hall of Famers; his argument will rest on the idea that his peak approximates that of a Hall of Famer. This year's pace of 7.3 WARP boosts his peak score to 49.9, still a few hairs shy of the standard for right field. From the more traditional perspective, he's likely to end this season with a nine-year run of 200-hit/100-run/.300 seasons, and he's got the kind of accomplishments that make BBWAA voters salivate: nine All-Star appearances, eight Gold Gloves, a rare MVP/Rookie of the Year combo, two batting titles, the single-season hit record, and 190 on the Monitor score (though just 34 on the Standards due to his career length). A run at 3,000 MLB hits-he's got 1,984 and counting-isn't out of the question, particularly given that his popularity will likely keep someone interested in employing him at 40 years old if he's anywhere close.
The thornier question is whether his accomplishments in Japan should be considered as part of his case. With them, he's already accumulated a rather remarkable 3,318 hits, and could run that total above 4,000, but Japanese baseball is not quite MLB caliber. Clay Davenport's studies suggest it's somewhere between Triple-A and the two surviving major leagues in difficulty, akin to the short-lived Federal League, and better than some of the 19th century leagues, more or less right on the cusp of historical major league strength overall. His translations from back in 2002 show a .325 EqA for his time in Japan, well above his stateside .298 mark. Still, it's not as though any other players-not even Sadaharu Oh-have been considered for the Hall based upon their accomplishments in Japan, but then nobody else has accumulated such a resum� there and then have such an impact over here.
Ultimately, I think those accomplishments inform Ichiro's case in a manner not entirely unlike the late-career-debut Negro League players; we know they could play at the major league level, even if they weren't doing so at the time for reasons not of their control. That knowledge, coupled with his stateside showing and perhaps combined with an extra nudge for his status as one of the game's great global ambassadors, is enough to convince me that he should make the Hall. I strongly suspect the writers will agree. (For longer looks at his case, see Sean Smith and Travis Nelson).
When it's all said and done, I believe Manny Ramirez, Vlad Guerrero, Gary Sheffield, and Ichiro Suzuki will all find their ways to Cooperstown. Of the quartet, Guerrero appears to have the simplest path; he merely needs to stay healthy for a few more years to round out his numbers. Barring any shocking revelations, it's going to be the rare case from this era that's relatively quiet and devoid of controversy. Let's hope it stays that way.

"Guerrero's on pace for just 1.9 WARP this year, which pushes him up to 60.0 JAWS." I think it should be 61.0 (his JAWS through 2008 was 59.1).

It sickens me to think that the same folks who will ignore Sammy Sosa's 600+ HR's (a pretty darn big number) because of "performance" enhancing drug have kept Bert Blyleven out of the HOF because he didn't reach a magic number (300 wins).

Throw out the stats for a second and consider the criteria that voters are supposed to use. Was he one of the best of his generation? I say yes. Name me a better right fielder or outfielder for that matter.

Who says voters are supposed to "throw out the stats" and decide on whether a player is "one of the best of his generation"? This rule would lead to some poor inclusions and exclusions depending on how good a player's peers happen to be.
Aug 19, 2009 13:16 PM
Vlad should pass Abreu at some point, which leaves just Manny, Sosa and Sheffield in front of him- all of whom have at least some evidence of PED use. This will likely hurt their chances and improve Vlad's (as long as no evidence on him comes up).

About Ichiro: "From the more traditional perspective, he's likely to end this season with a nine-year run of 200-hit/100-run/.300 seasons.."
Aug 19, 2009 23:37 PM
It would be great to have a page on BP of the all-time JAWS numbers of the leading players at each position. Thank you.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: During the process of creating links to and viewing photos I have seen that many of dates have errors in this list! I am correcting the dates on this as I see them on the photos...
Note: Information from Ruth Brill
Also, the only thing I can say about Pleasant Ridge Cemetery is that all the people listed there are buried there. Don't try to match rows in the book with the rows in the cemetery. I know that at least some of them are not even listed in the correct section of the cemetery. Paul Buskirk read this cemetery in 1979. His is a much more accurate listing. As it is getting quite faded, I want to retype as I have time. Pleasant Ridge (Egbert's) Cemetery is the correct listing for this cemetery. The Pleasant Ridge Cemetery Association was organized on April 24, 1877. It was never named "Egbert's" but was commonly called "Egbert's" for location before there were road numbers or names
Note: Information from Stephen J Hartzell
It should also be noted that some number of people buried at Pleasant Ridge were moved there from Bowser cemetery in 1893 when that cemetery was completely removed. Two of those relocated were Solomon and Catherine Robenalt, whose remains were moved on Nov. 7, 1893.

Editor's note: You can read more about CarmelFest 2015 here.
By Joseph Knoop
A parade brings all kinds of spectacle to American Main Streets each year, including acrobats, marching bands and mascots. No parade is complete without a legion of decorated floats, though, and CarmelFest is no exception with over 90 entries.
Fitting this year's theme of "Stars & Stripes Forever," those looking for a unique twist on classic patriotic flair can look for Karen and David Najjar's float featuring "the many incarnations of the American flag," which also doubles as promotion for David's campaign for Judge.
"One of the biggest things besides his love of American history is that he loves spreading the information, teaching about it," Karen Najjar said.
The float features an extensive history of the American flag, including points debated by scholars as to the true origin of the original design. A live homage will also be made to the Jean Leon Gerome Ferris painting depicting Betsy Ross and sewing together her design with the accompaniment of George Washington and other members of Congress.
Carmel's very own PorchFest celebration will be making its second appearance in the parade this year as well.
While other groups may bring extravagant decorations, PorchFest has become known for featuring one of the largest float displays, a small house designed by Justin Moffett and fellow contractors with full landscaping, as well as live musicians performing from the porch.
"I've been in the parade for 19 years, and I think it's the best time I've ever had in it," said Ron Carter, a member of Carmel's City Council-At-Large. "It's so visually interesting."
PorchFest is a free public event featuring local music acts performing on various porches throughout the Arts District. The 2015 PorchFest will take place September 13.
The CarmelFest parade take place July 4, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at Carmel Drive and AAA Way, proceeding west along Range Line Road to Main Street, and ending at Carmel High School.

Mario Badescu Skin Care Mario Badescu Aloe Lotion Reviews
really liked this oneTo address the Aloe Lotion from Mario Badescu – I really wasn't sure what it was at first. I had requested a sample package from them a while ago, just got it yesterday, and wow did they send me a lot of stuff! I couldn't wait to use all of it, especially since they had customized it specifically to my skin care needs and my personal skin issues. But this one product in particular confused m...read moree a bit. The label says it is "lotion", but the directions tell you to use it basically the same as you would a toner. I don't know why they can't just label it as the product is intended to be used… anyway, moving on. I decided to go through the whole gamut of the beauty routine and use a little bit of everything. After I cleansed with the Enzyme Cleanser, I swiped a bit of the Aloe Lotion over my face. I did really like how gentle it felt on my skin, which tends to be extremely sensitive. I don't normally use a toner of any kind because they are always too harsh, and my face gets as red as a tomato most the time if I even try, so believe me, I was quite hesitant to use this one. But I figured what the heck, one time won't kill me, and this is a great brand with superb products. I love that it did not irritate my skin one bit, there was no sign of redness. It left my skin feeling even softer, and even more cleansed but still not dry or tight. The smell is again, really nice, soft and fresh and cool, like it came directly from an aloe plant or something. I would definitely use this again, which says a lot for me. Great product! — 5 years, 2 months agotr3kkie9rl | 21 reviews
Great for combination-dry skinI have very sensitive skin that is dry in parts. This is a great toner to balance my skin out. It makes my skin feel very clean and smooth. — 6 years, 3 months agoshortbutsweet92 | 55 reviews
Like this line but not this productUsed as a toner, this product slightly burns my skin and seems to leave a residue feeling. I now store it in the refrigerator because the cold counteracts the burning sensation. It seems remove dirt from my skin but I think that's because the enzyme cleanser doesn't work so well for me. For a toner I much prefer to use my homemade version of witch hazel with fresh cucumber pieces and mint leaves, which I keep refrigerated. — 8 years agoToTheMoon | 130 reviews
Makes your skin feel really soft!!!This made my skin feel great - soft, hydrated (my skin gets visibly dry in the winter), but not greasy. — 9 years, 3 months agocolleenmm | 5 reviews
RefreshingThis smells great...so fresh! My honey actually came up to me and kissed my cheek and told me my skin smelled really good after using this, lol! I use this in combination with the enzyme cleansing gel and it is very gentle but effective. — 9 years, 4 months agoferrettalk | 24 reviews

Advocacy people: What follows is my re-write of the press release. I was operating on the idea of "telling a story", per Heather's advice earlier. The general idea is to piggyback on the current press fad of articles about MySQL challenging Oracle; we present the more formidable challenge, and should let the press know it. Thus the sequence goes: 1) Here's how were as good as Oracle/DB2/MSSQL, but cheaper; 2) We've made it easier to switch from them; 3) our current users are excited about the release, too. Surprisingly enough, I was able to get almost all of our new features to fit into this framework. WE NEED TO FINISH THIS BY FRIDAY! We will have to get copies to the translators in time for them to translate, as questions, and correct, so we can't tinker to perfection. Comments and requests for this version of the press release --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. I am not *at all* attached to the ordering of the "features" in this version; please suggest better orderings. 2. Also, a lot of my "hype it up" wording could use some help. Please? Particularly I hate the phrase "last piece of the puzzle" but I couldn't think of anything else. 3. In our "enterprise features", does the "Advanced SQL" paragraph work, or will it just confuse people? 4. I added three non-profit orgs and two Open Source projects to our list of "companies". Does this work? 5. I changed it to "hundreds" of developers. Our last count was contributors btw. 6.3 and 7.3, which included some 200 people; I doubt that number has dropped. 6. My spellcheck on Kate bugged out, so please look for broken words below and help me fix them! 7. In addition to the "tranisitioning from other databases" features mentioned below, we have two biggies that won't be ready for 7.4: the Windows Port and dblink_oracle. Should we mention these as "coming soon"? 8. Can someone think of a better name than "EXPLICT JOIN REWRITING"? 9. Other suggestions? =================================================================== The PostgreSQL Global Development Group is pleased to announce the availability of version 7.4 of the PostgreSQL Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). This major release, the work of our world wide network of hundreds of developers and contributors over the last 9 months, provides commercial-grade enterprise database functionality and performance for the very economical overhead cost of Open Source software. "If you tried PostgreSQL before, and went with a commercial database like Oracle or DB2 instead, it's time to re-evaluate," says Rod Taylor of Inquent Technologies. "PostgreSQL's expanding enterprise feature set and performance improvements over the last two years make PostgreSQL competitive with even the highest-end database systems. And it's certainly less expensive." NEW ENTERPRISE DATABASE FEATURES ------------------------------------------ Among the large enterprise features which have been added, expanded, or improved in version 7.4 are: OPTERON SUPPORT: PostgreSQL is now optimized on the AMD Opteron, thanks to the work of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, adding to the family of proven 64-bit platforms which includes HP/Compaq, Alpha, Sun UltraSPARC, MIPS, PA-RISC, and RS6000*. 64-bit platforms are an emerging class of high-performance computing, with greater power and scaleability needed for enterprise systems. REPLICATION: PostgreSQL Inc. and Affilias Inc. this week contributed their eRServer Java-based replication solution for PostgreSQL. eRServer provides a tremendously scalable, battle-tested replication option significantly more powerful than previous Open Source solutions available. PERFORMANCE: Several major performance enhancements have been added in version 7.4, ensuring that PostgreSQL can match or exceed other enterprise database systems' speed. These include: - Hash aggregation in memory to make data warehousing and OLAP queries up to 20 times faster; - Improvements in subquery handling by the planner resulting in up to 400% speed increases in some complex queries; - New wire protocol (version 3) increases the speed of data transfers; - Enhanced implementation of functional indexes allows better indexing on custom data types and composite fields. HIGH AVAILABILITY: Expansion of PostgreSQL's Free Space Map disk management feature to support continuous index maintenence is the last "piece of the puzzle" in providing 99.999% uptime for PostgreSQL databases. Further, 7.4 downloads with the new Auto Vacuum Daemon which eliminates the guesswork from scheduling database maintenence. FULL TEXT INDEXING: PostgreSQL's TSearch module now includes a ranked preference system, making TSearch equal to or better than many full text indexing solutions offered by other RDBMSs. ADVANCED SQL FEATURES: PostgreSQL continues to expand its support for the Intermediate and Advanced portions of the SQL 92 and 99 standards including some SQL features not found in other databases. New in 7.4 are statement-level triggers and read-only transactions, as well as several SQL extensions including multi-byte regular expressions, polymorphic functions, and enhanced array data type handling. ADOPTING POSTGRESQL EASIER THAN EVER --------------------------------------- As many Database Administrators (DBAs) will want to try PostgreSQL 7.4 for their companies, we have taken several steps to make the transition from other enterprise databases to PostgreSQL easier: SQL-STANDARD ERROR FRAMEWORK: The PostgreSQL Team hascompletelyy redesigned error logging and reporting, providing developers with an SQL99 compliant mechanism for debugging and troubleshooting, and giving users real time suggestions on how to avoid error conditions in their applications. REORGANIZED AND EXPANDED DOCUMENTATION: The documentation contributors have completely reorganized and added many new pages to the online documentation, making it easier for first-time PostgreSQL DBAs to get their databases built, tuned, and running. SQL-STANDARD INFORMATION SCHEMA: 7.4 includes an SQL99 compliant Information Schema (or "metadata"). This provides application developers with database, type, object, and configuration information in a way which eases the migration of interfaces and middleware between database systems, and even the replication of data between commercial databases and PostgreSQL. EXPLICIT JOIN REWRITING: Core developer Tom Lane has included an option for explicit join rewriting by the query planner, easing the transition of existing applications and queries running on Sybase and MS SQL Server, which handle queries this way by default. ENTERPRISE USERS ANTICIPATING 7.4 ------------------------------------ "We have used PostgreSQL successfully for over two years in a mission-critical capacity to support our registry systems," said Ram Mohan, Chief Technology Officer for Afilias Limited, the company responsible for running the backend database containing all .info and .org Internet domain names worldwide. "This upgrade of PostgreSQL improves the scalability and capacity of PostgreSQL and will help to ensure continued advancements to future releases. For real-time operations, the planner/optimizer enhancements adds more intelligence and allows more efficient operation of the database. In addition, the expanded trigger capabilities sets up the basis for even further gains in future versions of PostgreSQL." "[quote from Lamar Owen will go here]" commented Lamar Owen, Director of Information Technology for the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute. RELEASE DETAILS ------------------------------------- Source for this release is available at: http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors-ftp.html More information on PostgreSQL is available in ten languages on the PostgreSQL Advocacy website: http://advocacy.postgresql.org/ A complete list of changes in PostgreSQL version 7.4 can be found in the HISTORY file included with the release, or available on the web at: [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/740.html] About PostgreSQL: With more than 16 years of development by hundreds of the world's most generous and brilliant minds from the open source community, PostgreSQL is the world's most advanced open source database. With its long time support of an enterprise level feature set including transactions, stored procedures, triggers, and subqueries, PostgreSQL is being used by many of today's most demanding businesses and government agencies. Corporations such as BASF, Red Hat, Afilias Limited, Cisco, Chrysler, and 3Com, organizations like WGCR Radio, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute, and Open Source projects including Bricolage and OpenACS rely on PostgreSQL's rock solid performance record and open development process.

DART's Point Man on Streetcars Talks About Runnin' MATA Track Into Downtown
When the boy and I were on Rosie a few days ago, we were the only non-tourists on the trolley. Trust me, I asked for a show of hands.
In the comments to yesterday's item about stumbling upon those streetcars in the Dallas Area Rapid Transit's rail yards, a few Friends of Unfair Park got to wonderin' about McKinney Avenue Transit Authority's plans for a downtown extension. Which, turns out, was also on the o' my mind after having taken my very first trolley trip (I know -- the shame) just a few days ago from S&D Oyster Company to the Dallas Museum of Art on the 101-year-old Rosie.
Long story short: Long time ago the city got a federal grant, through the Texas Department of Transportation, to expand the MATA trolley line -- which it did, north, through the West Village. But the city never got around to the southbound extension, and TxDOT said, Use it or lose it. And so a southbound extension into downtown was planned for Olive Street, and MATA had been hoping to get it running by early 2009. Which didn't happen, mainly because DART and Dallas wanted to make sure that when the downtown streetcars rolled up they'd fit on the tracks laid for the older cars in the MATA stock.
"The goals are simple," says Jay Kline, DART's liaison with the city on streetcars. "Get it built to modern streetcar standards so if and when we have a modern system, we can put a modern vehicle on there without redoing it. And we want to get as close as we can do a downtown light rail station."
Turns out, MATA's expansion into downtown isn't too far off. Not at all.

Right now the MATA line goes no further than the DMA on St Paul. But the idea is get a line on Olive Street as well -- one that would, of course, go against traffic. Says Kline, that's 100-percent designed. Requests for proposals are out, and all goes according to plan, a contract should be awarded by no later than August -- depending upon how comfy the utilities providers are with the expansion.
As for the downtown streetcars, well, that's a little further in the distance. Remember: DART's got no money to do much of anything, and neither does the city.
"We're trying to use our talents efficiently and effectively to not only look at what would make sense as a productive streetcar system -- on DART's side, integrating with the existing system, including light rail and bus; and on the city's side, what will it pay back in terms of economic development and livability and sustainability," Kline says. "We're about to start working on a system plan on a streetcar system. And we've gotta figure out how to pay for this. So we're looking at how do we pay for capital and operating costs. We don't have the money. The city doesn't. They do have a little bit of seed money from regional grant and federal grants."
Then there's the urban circulator grant for which the city has applied.
"If we are awarded that project, the MATA line would go to Olive Street and make it a complete loop from -- we think -- St. Paul to Federal to Olive," Kline says. "It wouldn't cost a heck of a lot of money, and it would make both MATA and and modern operations much more efficient and safe because there wouldn't be contraflow."
Alas, no go so far on putting in a turntable for the trolleys: It's sitting in a field near the Cityplace Station, awaiting a downtown home. Patience, people. Patience.
Incidentally, as I mention in the comments, I called Kline after trying for a few days to reach MATA officials. Soon as I hear from them I will update accordingly, most likely in a separate post.

New York Yankees: Can C.C. Sabathia Get to 300 Wins?May 23, 2012
Twenty-four pitchers in MLB history have won 300 games over the course of their careers. The last player to have reached the milestone was Randy Johnson, and it took him 21 years to get there.
But C.C. Sabathia could be the next pitcher to get to that illustrious number.
Currently in his 12th major league season, Sabathia has 181 wins in his career—an average of just over 15 wins per season. Since 2007, he has won 17 games or more, including a 21-win season in 2010.
So far this season, he has five wins in eight starts.
Let's assume that, barring a collapse by Sabathia and/or the Yankees, he records a 19-win season, as he has done three times in the past five seasons. So, add an extra 14 wins to his record, and he has 195 wins total.
His current contract allows him to continue pitching for the Yankees until 2016 or 2017, if he remains healthy. Taking the 2017 year into account, that would mean he would need to earn, on average, 17.5 wins each year to reach 300.
Of course, this also doesn't take into account what he does after his current contract ends. He'll be 36 or 37 years old (depending on what happens), which could warrant him another three to five more years left in his career (possibly more).
That would mean the average wins per season needed would be even lower.
So, the question is, can Sabathia do it?
Personally, I think so. Sabathia has been one of the most consistent and most durable pitchers of the last decade. He has started in 30 games or more every year of his career, except for 2006 (he started 28 games). He's posted double-digit wins every season, including 17 or more over the last five seasons. His ERA hasn't been over four since 2005, and has hung around the low to mid-threes in recent years.
But what has helped him earn so many wins in his career is the workload he carries.
Sabathia pitches 200-plus innings a year, and has—again in recent years—been pitching close or over the 250-inning mark. Often, you'll see his name at the top of the innings pitched category. Sabathia is a pitcher who can get through those later innings with ease. In fact, he's pitched 33 complete games over the course of his career, including 10 in 2008.
With Sabathia's pitching abilities and the always-potent Yankees offense, Sabathia certainly has a good chance of reaching 300 wins before his career is over.
My main concern about Sabathia, though, is his durability as he reaches his twilight years.
While the huge workload he carries has helped him earn wins over the years, I wonder how much this will affect him in the future. Throwing so many pitches each game, I sometimes get that feeling it's only a matter of time before he ends up on the disabled list.
And then what? Will he be the same C.C. Sabathia we all know and love (or hate) or will he be a shadow of his former self?
That's the key to whether or not Sabathia can reach that milestone: his durability in the future. If he can continue to remain healthy, as he has done so far in his career, there's little doubt in my mind that Sabathia will become the 25th (or 26th if you think Jamie Moyer can pitch beyond his 50s) player to earn 300 career wins.
So, do you think Sabathia can get to 300 wins? By the time his career ends, how many wins do you think he'll have? Post your thoughts below.

1913 Corry HS Yearbook - The Owl - Senior Trip
Contributed by Teresa Hughes
This is a series of pages being presented based on scanned images from the June 1913 Corry Owl, the yearbook for Corry High School. This feature covers pages 16 to 21, most of which is dialog concerning the Senior trip to Washington, DC. This feature concludes this yearbook.
The images have been scanned by Bill Klauk from the yearbook that was on loan from Teresa and Jack Hughes in March 2003. Unfortunately, these web page were never created at that time, except for a small number of pages. The yearbook was originally owned by the late Arthur Schaub.

The great event in the history of the Senior Class was the Washington Trip which began April 15th and ended all the way from April 2lst to 23rd.
The morning of the 15th the depot platform was crowded with hundreds of people to make sure that every Senior got out of town for the week, that Corry might have some rest, after the On to Washington campaign was really over. The Sophomore girls also appeared, armed with boxes of candy for each Senior. That candy brought back many visions of home and thoughts of the girls throughout the trip.

At the train arrived and the class piled into the special car at the rear of the train and the trip was started. While the trip of fourteen hours was tiresome, the class was entertained by standing on the back porch of the train and also by watching the show staged by the Mt. Jewett and Johnsonhurg classes which had our own M. P. Club stopped, which is going some.
We reached Washington about ten oclock in the evening and were conducted to the Hotel Winston on 1st Street, N. W. near Pennsylvania Avenue. Here we all retired for the night (?)
The next day it rained. However, we were able to visit the capitol building and go all through it. While we were in the city we went through the Capitol, the Government Printing Office, Bureau of Engraving, the Treasury, the White House, the Congressional Library, Post Office, Pan American Building, D. A. R. Building, Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington monument, Lincoln Museum, Botanical gardens, City Buildings, Smithsonian Institute, National Museum, Fish Commission, State, War and Navy Building. Pension Building, Zoological Gardens. We also visited Mount Vernon, Arlington National cemetery, Lee mansion, Fort Myer, Georgetown and Alexandria. There were many other buildings we saw which we did not have time to visit. In addition to this we met President Wilson, received an autographed picture of him, had our picture taken on the White House lawn, and through the kindness of Mr. James Place and Lieut. and Mrs. Olmstead, we were allowed special privileges in many of the buildings and saw a special drill at Ft. Meyer. Part of the class went on to Philadelphia for a few days before returning.
There seemed to be no limit to the amount of information that some of the members could absorb. A few stood around the guides with mouths wide open and took in history by the square yard. For the small sum of 25c a guide would take you through the rotunda of the capitol, statuary hall, senate, house of representatives, Supreme Court room, Presidents room, seven miles of corridor, and about ten years of his own life. One evening was spent in the Congressional Library and the rest of the evenings were left for the individuals of the class to do what they pleased. Most of them saw the Garden of Allah while there.
The class was divided up at the hotel and given suites of rooms as far apart as possible. The seven boys in No. 320 were as lively a bunch as ever found. Heres a program of one evenings entertainment in 320.
About 10:30 p. m. Bosworth got back from a walk with ? and came upstairs to 320. Door was locked. Sound of snores inside. Snores refuse to stop. Bosworth goes down stairs for re-enforcements.

Toast to 1913
Heres a sigh for those who love us,
And a smile for those who hate:
And whatever skys above us,
Heres a heart for every fate.
Heres a toast from our hearts, my friends.
From heart to heart let it run.
Heres to the class of old 13.
God bless them, every one.

Measure wind speed with this simple, homemade anemometer (say an-uh-MOM-uh-ter).
You measured the wind's speed in turns (or revolutions) per minute (RPM). Weather services use anemometers to measure wind, but they convert the RPMs into miles per hour to tell us how windy it will be. To be considered a good wind resource to produce wind power, the wind speeds need to be at least 13 miles per hour, on average. Use your anemometer to measure wind speeds at a different times of day over several days. According to your anemometer, is wind a good resource where you live?
