New Dodgers infielder Erisbel Arruebarrena says he plays like pal Yasiel Puig
David Brown at Big League Stew16 hrs agoThere is another.
Infielder Erisbel Arruebarrena advertises himself to be similar to longtime friend and new Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Yasiel Puig. He plays with lots of flair and emotion — which is "typical of Latinos," Arruebarrena is quoted as saying by reporter Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.
It's certainly typical of Puig, whose rollicking rookie season was celebrated and bemoaned simultaneously while he pushed the figurative envelope, or pushed buttons — depending on how you took it.
Two Puigs = twice the fun! A shortstop by trade who figures to reach the majors at some point this season, Arruebarrena reported to camp Thursday after visa snags. He recently signed a five-year, $25 million contract. Hernandez writes:
Apartments in the 'Outfield' — Minor-league team wants residences at ballpark
David Brown at Big League Stew17 hrs agoOne of the reasons fans love Wrigley Field is because it appears to have been dropped into an otherwise typical neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago. The rooftop apartments beyond the ivy-covered bleachers add character and charm to the ballpark setting. Chicago Cubs ownership should have purchased those properties along Waveland and Sheffield avenues long ago. Too bad for them.
The Lansing (Mich.) Lugnuts and the city that owns their ballpark want to take a page from Wrigley's book and construct perhaps 100 apartments literally inside of the stadium. By way of a $22 million project split down the middle with public and private funds, the Midwest League's Class A club for the Toronto Blue Jays and the city seek to expand and upgrade Cooley Law School Stadium in downtown Lansing, the state capital. The plan, called the "Outfield," would be part of a bigger plan to upgrade parts of downtown as a whole. The stadium itself was opened in 1996 and needs upgrading regardless, ownership says. Major league star Carlos Beltran played there when the Lugnuts franchise belonged to the Kansas City Royals.
Manny Ramirez admits 'mistakes' with PEDs
David Brown at Big League Stew20 hrs agoManny Ramirez admitted to reporter Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports during an interview published Thursday that he "made mistakes" with performance-enhancing drugs, but he's learned from them and — nearing age 42 and three years removed from the big leagues — wants one more chance to play Major League Baseball.
Ramirez was suspended by MLB for 50 games in 2009, when he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, after testing positive for a female fertility drug. It would be a much bigger deal if Ramirez had admitted to Rosenthal that the drug worked and that's why he has a 4-year-old son. But a 40-something ex-ballplayer who wants another shot, finally admitting what we already had surmised?
Manny speaks:
Seattle Mariners TV commercials full of laughs
David Brown at Big League Stew21 hrs agoYour browser does not support iframes.
The Seattle Mariners usually air the best TV commercials, or they're up there with the Minnesota Twins. This cannot be disputed. (OK, it can. It's all subjective. But the M's are the best.) They have put their commercials for 2014 on the team's website — starting with "Old School Kyle Seager" — and they're all good. The players always get into their roles.
Jimmy Rollins responds to Ryne Sandberg benching him
David Brown at Big League Stew22 hrs agoJimmy Rollins spoke to reporters in Florida on Thursday about being benched for the Philadelphia Phillies' past three spring training games. While unhappy, he doesn't sound too worried about it, actually. And though he disagrees with manager Ryne Sandberg, he also doesn't quite know what's bugging Sandberg about how he is conducting himself.
Rollins added that if player and manager need to speak, it will be Sandberg who initiates the conversation, says reporter Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The first hint of any issue came after Wednesday's game in Sarasota, Fla., when Sandberg offered no explanation for Rollins' three-day benching. Unprompted, Sandberg praised Freddy Galvis' "energy and his positive influence." When asked about Rollins in that regard, Sandberg said, "No comment."
Ryan Braun is back — endorsing products
Big League Stew1 day agoAmong the consequences of slugger Ryan Braun admitting he lied about taking performance-enhancing drugs was a loss of trust, and some of it vanished in a very material sense. Braun lost about $3.3 million in salary from the Milwaukee Brewers because of his 65-game suspension from Major League Baseball related to Biogenesis, but his side income was affected as well. He lost business partnerships, even with good friends. Restaurants took his name off their establishments. Product endorsement deals dried up. Nobody wanted to be associated with someone who lied about cheating.
While it's still not like the old days when Braun was a walking billboard for Nike baseball cleats — and was paid handsomely to strut his stuff — he has resurfaced this spring with a small company called 3N2. Something to think about the next time Braun steps in with a full count.
Ryne Sandberg appears to be benching Jimmy Rollins
David Brown at Big League Stew1 day agoPhiladelphia Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg might be trying to send a message to the club's longtime shortstop, Jimmy Rollins. Despite checking out as healthy, Rollins has not played the past two days and is not scheduled to play Thursday in Grapefruit League action. Instead, the Phillies are going with Freddy Galvis at shortstop.
Rollins was supposed to be in the lineup Tuesday for a game at Orlando, but he stayed back at the team's spring headquarters in Clearwater, Fla. The same thing happened Wednesday when Philly made an hour-long trek to Sarasota. Sometimes a team's veterans don't make road trips in spring training, which can be relatively long days. But that's not what seems to be going on with Rollins.
Chris Branch of Delaware Online writes:
Galvis played well Wednesday, going 1 for 2 with a triple and a RBI. Asked about Galvis afterward, Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg gushed.
Immediately after, Sandberg was asked about Rollins in that regard.
"No comment," Sandberg said.
Francisco Rodriguez steps on cactus and injures foot
Big League Stew1 day agoThey call it the Cactus League for a reason. Right-hander Francisco Rodriguez probably knew why already, but he got reminded in a most prickly way Tuesday after he stepped on a cactus.
Ow, ow, OWWWWWW!
Reporter Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says it isn't "a huge deal," but MLB.com reported that Brewers staff were working on pulling out barbs on Wednesday.
To repeat: Ow, ow, OWWWWW!
That means, apparently, that Rodriguez didn't go the emergency room on Tuesday , when he stepped on a cactus . He was sitting around for hours with spines in his foot. Sleeping with spines in his foot. It's likely we won't learn the circumstances of how cactus spines ended up in K-Rod's foot until Thursday, the next time he'll probably speak to reporters. However, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said it wouldn't shock him to see Rodriguez try and pitch Wednesday. No kidding, with that pain threshold.

Big League Stew1 day ago"He who gambles lives in a shambles" — famous bettor
People who gamble figure it's time for Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout to win AL MVP after he finished as runner-up in the voting the past two seasons to Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers. This time, they say, Cabrera will be the bridesmaid.
Wagerers also figure that Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates will win the NL MVP again, with Joey Votto of the Reds finishing second and Paul Goldschmidt, McCutchen's runner-up in 2013, finishing third.
Bovada.lv released its MVP odds for both leagues Wednesday, along with some fun proposition bets. For the AL, Trout is listed at 5 to 1, with Cabrera 6 to 1 and Jacoby Ellsbury and Albert Pujols (interesting!) at 12 to 1. On the NL side, McCutchen is 6 to 1, with Votto a second choice at 7 to 1 and Goldschmidt 9 to 1.
Braves' Kris Medlen faces reality: Another Tommy John elbow surgery
Big League Stew1 day agoThe emotions right-hander Kris Medlen must be feeling are hard to fathom. He had come so far after undergoing Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery in August 2010. All of the rehab for 12 months. All of the training to get his strength back, and all of the repetitions on the mound to get himself right again as a pitcher. The stint in the bullpen until the Atlanta Braves thought it safe for him to join the starting rotation in July 2012. The 2.47 ERA he posted in 43 starts, establishing himself as one of the better pitchers in the National League in that span.
He must to do it all over again at age 28.
Medlen is preparing himself to have Tommy John surgery again after an MRI revealed damage to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The sight of Medlen clutching his arm in the fourth inning Sunday was awful, but it was just the start.

Similar as last year's road to DVD Catalyst 4 v4.1, I'm running another public beta again with DVD Catalyst 4.
Last year, DVD Catalyst 4.1 brought some big new functionality with it, including better multi-core support and of course basic Bluray conversion functionality (note: to convert Bluray, DVD Catalyst 4 has additional requirements). While this Beta doesn't bring as much to the table, it does offer some major improvements.
*Multi-Core Tweaks:
DVD Catalyst 4 is already one of the fastest DVD and video conversion tools on the market, and with the new engine in the 4.3 Beta 1 version, it is even faster, especially if you use a multi-core system. On an i7 quad-core processor (2630QM laptop model) from last year, a DVD conversion using DVD Catalyst 4 v4.2 runs at around 7.5x real time (16 minutes for a 2 hour movie), with the new 4.3 Beta 1, the same conversion runs at about 8.7x realtime (13 minutes for a 2 hour movie).
With Bluray conversions (with AnyDVD HD 126.96.36.199 running), the speed difference is similar. Using DVD Catalyst 4.2, a Bluray conversion runs at about 2.48x realtime (48 minutes for a 2 hour Bluray movie), with DVD Catalyst 4.3 Beta 1, the same conversion runs at 3.36x realtime (35 minutes for a 2 hour Bluray movie).
Important note: for both the DVD and the Bluray conversion, I used external USB drives. The speed (and processor usage) is somewhat affected by this. For comparison purposes, if I use MakeMKV (which just copies, it doesn't convert) to copy the DVD over to an MKV file I get a speed of about 9x realtime. Using MakeMKV on the Bluray, it runs at a speed of 3.4x realtime.
*Bluray track listings:
The scan-engine for Blurays used in DVD Catalyst 4.1 (and 4.2) has complications with a few (3 that I am aware of) Bluray movies. Fast Five, Sherlock Holmes 1 and Sherlock Holmes 2, after scanning, list the actual movie split into dozens of small, randomly organized pieces. With DVD Catalyst 4.3 Beta 1, these Blurays are scanned properly.
* Subtitles and Closed Captions:
With DVD Catalyst 4.3 Beta 1, I have also spend a considerable amount of time on subtitle tweaks. With previous versions, the subtitles on DVDs were often inverted and/or blurry.
With DVD Catalyst 4.3 Beta 1, the subtitles for DVDs turn out a lot better and are easier to read:
Aside from DVD subtitles, I've also worked on supporting so-called fan-subs for MKV files. In DVD Catalyst 4.2 (and older) some of these subtitles result in time-code information being displayed due to incompatible subtitle formatting, along with a generic font:
but with fan-subs, things look a lot nicer (that is, if your video file has them of course):
For Closed Captions, I decided to split the font-selection (Global Settings > Language), so that if you convert a mixture of different video content (such as MKV's and DVDs) you can select a font for that, and leave the font for MKV files as the original.
How to get the beta:
Before you download DVD Catalyst 4.3 Beta 1, please understand the reasoning behind a public beta.
This Beta version has been tested by both myself and the beta-testers, but the changes involved, along with with 1000's of different device profiles, 100's of different settings, different DVD's, video files it is impossible for me to test every possible combination. To my knowledge, everything in this Beta version is fully functional, however there are likely some combinations that do not work properly.
Because of possible issues, unlike with the previous Beta, it installs next to your existing DVD Catalyst 4 installation, and it uses its own settings, enabling you to play with the Beta, make changes to its settings, without affecting your "stable" DVD Catalyst 4.2 install. Some things, like the device profiles for example, are shared between the two though.
In my opinion, the improvements and features regarding conversion speed and subtitles are of such an extend that giving the Beta a try is worth the possibility of running into some quirks, but of course this is a personal choice. If you are in a big hurry (for a trip for example) to get some movies converted, sticking with the 4.2 version might be a better choice though.
To download the Beta version, first make sure you are running DVD Catalyst 4 v4.2. If you are using an older version, tap on the cat-eyes in the application to have DVD Catalyst 4 check for updates, or use the download link you received upon purchase to download the latest version.
After that, enable the Power User checkmark at the bottom right:
Then go into Global Settings:
and select the "Version Info" tab:
and tap on the Beta button on the bottom right:
and click Yes:
After the zip file is downloaded, install the Beta on top of your existing DVD Catalyst 4 installation. It needs to be installed in the same folder since it uses some of the same files.
Issue Reports:
* If you run into complications with the Beta, please try using the "official" 4.2 version of DVD Catalyst to see if it is an actual issue with the Beta, or something else.
* Try restarting your computer and see if the issue repeats itself.
* If the issue persists, send me an email (email@example.com) and try to include as much information as possible. At least the DVD/Bluray and/or video file type you are experiencing issues with and the profile you selected (iPad, Nook, Xoom etc). In addition, knowing what other settings you changed, output folder, advanced settings etc, as well as some basic computer specifications (Windows-version, processor brand (AMD/Intel) and model, and of course the problem description in detail.
The more information you can provide, the easier it is for me to figure out what is causing the complication and to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you for your time,

Shortly after 10 p.m., a semi-tractor trailor driver traveling east on Route 5 in the town of Sheridan reported a possible personal-injury accident involving a motorcycle. The accident occurred between Harrington and Newell roads.
The Dunkirk Police Department, along with members of the Sheridan Volunteer Fire Department, were first on the scene. The driver of the motorcycle was later located down the side of an embankment on the south side of Route 5. It was unknown however, to what extent the driver of the newer-model, blue Suzuki was injured, as police, fire and rescue personnel were still on the scene at press time.
Besides the Dunkirk Police Department and Sheridan Volunteer Fire Department, the New York State Troopers, Dunkirk East Town Fire Department, Alstar Ambulance Service, Dunkirk Fire and Rescue and the Chautauqua County Sheriffs Department were all on the scene.

Prologo Doubletouch Bar Tape $0.00
While a lot of padded bar tape is synthetic, which can get slippery when cold, wet or both, Prologo's Double Touch Handlebar Tape combines a cork top with an EVA gel base.
But there's a flaw with a lot of gel tapes, which is that it desensitizes road feel in the drops. So Prologo only gels the top portion of the wrap, and they combine it with hand-friendly, GelTouch cork. Jump into the drops and the gel disappears, as does GelTouch, replaced by a very tacky, Velcro-like cork called StrongTouch, so you have a more secure handle when sprinting or descending.
Prologo Double Touch Handlebar Tape is made from a combination of cork and EVA gel. It is available Black, Blue, Red, Silver, and White.

Broken Images
The Reformation of Images: Destruction of Art in England, 1535-1660
The population of images in medieval England was doubtless more numerous than the scanty population of living human beings. Figured in windows, sculptured in statuary, carved and painted in countless scenes, the images were the close companions of medieval man. From them he learned what he knew of history and the Scriptures. With them he furnished his memory, setting his memory images on memory places. As he looked around his world, in which all the main buildings were ecclesiastical, he saw those innumerable figures of sacred history or of allegory, designed through their striking character to impress on his memory the teachings of the Church.
During a period beginning with Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in 1535 and ending with the restoration of Charles II in 1660, this vast population of images was almost totally destroyed. The destruction raged in phases, sometimes more and sometimes less intense, and with some periods of attempted rescue and restoration, but the net result was that we of these later ages have never seen English medieval art as it was in its original setting, only broken remains of it, scraps of shattered glass, statues with their heads chipped off. We know about the iconoclasm as a historical fact, though we hardly realize how it happened nor can we visualize the actual scenes of destruction. Still less do we realize what it meant internally, the breaking of the images within, the doing away of an ancient psychology of the imagination which had been taken for granted for centuries.
If we think about this phenomenon of the breaking of the images our reactions may depend on religious affiliations, lament for the Catholic past destroyed by Protestant Reformation, or approval of Protestant break with a superstitious past. Much more common than either of these attitudes today is probably the aesthetic reaction, the sense of dismay at the destruction of irreplaceable art treasures. The author of the book under review takes none of these lines. He does not take sides over the religious question nor is he interested in the images as works of art. What Phillips attempts to do is to give a fairly factual account of the destruction and its phases, and to relate both the use of religious images and their destruction to changing attitudes toward psychologies of the imagination in their relation to theological issues.
In medieval theory, as laid down in particular by Thomas Aquinas, man's nature is so constituted that he cannot remember intellectual or spiritual concepts save through material images. To make him grasp an abstraction such as the vice of avarice, one must show him an image of a miser, perhaps holding a bag of money, an avaricious man. To indicate to him an abstraction such as the virtue of charity, one must show him an attractive human figure, a woman, exemplifying or exercising this virtue.
These are very simple examples of the principle of teaching man about the intelligibilia through the sensibilia which is at the …

Dynamic Origin of Spatially Discordant Alternans in Cardiac Tissue Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 2, 15 January 2007, Pages 448-460 Hideki Hayashi, Yohannes Shiferaw, Daisuke Sato, Motoki Nihei, Shien-Fong Lin, Peng-Sheng Chen, Alan Garfinkel, James N. Weiss and Zhilin Qu Abstract Alternans, a condition in which there is a beat-to-beat alternation in the electromechanical response of a periodically stimulated cardiac cell, has been linked to the genesis of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Optical mapping of membrane voltage (Vm) and intracellular calcium (Cai) on the surface of animal hearts reveals complex spatial patterns of alternans. In particular, spatially discordant alternans has been observed in which regions with a large-small-large action potential duration (APD) alternate out-of-phase adjacent to regions of small-large-small APD. However, the underlying mechanisms that lead to the initiation of discordant alternans and govern its spatiotemporal properties are not well understood. Using mathematical modeling, we show that dynamic changes in the spatial distribution of discordant alternans can be used to pinpoint the underlying mechanisms. Optical mapping of Vm and Cai in paced rabbit hearts revealed that spatially discordant alternans induced by rapid pacing exhibits properties consistent with a purely dynamical mechanism as shown in theoretical studies. Our results support the viewpoint that spatially discordant alternans in the heart can be formed via a dynamical pattern formation process which does not require tissue heterogeneity.

Action Potential Duration Restitution Portraits of Mammalian Ventricular Myocytes: Role of Calcium Current Biophysical Journal, Volume 91, Issue 7, 1 October 2006, Pages 2735-2745 Elena G. Tolkacheva, Justus M.B. Anumonwo and José Jalife Abstract Construction of the action potential duration (APD) restitution portrait allows visualization of multiple aspects of the dynamics of periodically paced myocytes at various basic cycle lengths (BCLs). For the first time, we obtained the restitution portrait of isolated rabbit and guinea pig cardiac ventricular myocytes and analyzed the time constant, τ, of APD accommodation and the slopes of different types of restitution curves, Sdyn and S12, measured at varying BCLs. Our results indicate that both τ and the individual slopes are species and pacing dependent. In contrast, the mutual relationship between slopes Sdyn and S12 does not depend on pacing history, being a generic feature of the species. In addition, the maximum slope S12, measured in the restitution portrait at the lowest BCL, predicts the onset of alternans. Further, we investigated the role of the L-type calcium current, ICa-L, in the restitution portrait. We found that ICa-L dramatically affects APD accommodation, as well as the individual slopes Sdyn and S12 measured in the restitution portrait. However, peak calcium current plays a role only at small values of BCL. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the restitution portrait is a powerful technique to investigate restitution properties of periodically paced cardiac myocytes and the onset of alternans, in particular. Moreover, the data also show that ICa-L plays a crucial role in multiple aspects of cardiac dynamics measured through the restitution portrait. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (250 kb) |
A Rabbit Ventricular Action Potential Model Replicating Cardiac Dynamics at Rapid Heart Rates Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 2, 15 January 2008, Pages 392-410 Aman Mahajan, Yohannes Shiferaw, Daisuke Sato, Ali Baher, Riccardo Olcese, Lai-Hua Xie, Ming-Jim Yang, Peng-Sheng Chen, Juan G. Restrepo, Alain Karma, Alan Garfinkel, Zhilin Qu and James N. Weiss Abstract Mathematical modeling of the cardiac action potential has proven to be a powerful tool for illuminating various aspects of cardiac function, including cardiac arrhythmias. However, no currently available detailed action potential model accurately reproduces the dynamics of the cardiac action potential and intracellular calcium (Cai) cycling at rapid heart rates relevant to ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. The aim of this study was to develop such a model. Using an existing rabbit ventricular action potential model, we modified the L-type calcium (Ca) current (ICa,L) and Cai cycling formulations based on new experimental patch-clamp data obtained in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes, using the perforated patch configuration at 35–37°C. Incorporating a minimal seven-state Markovian model of ICa,L that reproduced Ca- and voltage-dependent kinetics in combination with our previously published dynamic Cai cycling model, the new model replicates experimentally observed action potential duration and Cai transient alternans at rapid heart rates, and accurately reproduces experimental action potential duration restitution curves obtained by either dynamic or S1S2 pacing.

The L-type Ca current (ICa,L), essential for normal cardiac function, also regulates dynamic action potential (AP) properties that promote ventricular fibrillation. Blocking ICa,L can prevent ventricular fibrillation, but only at levels suppressing contractility. We speculated that, instead of blocking ICa,L, modifying its shape by altering kinetic features could produce equivalent anti-fibrillatory effects without depressing contractility. To test this concept experimentally, we overexpressed a mutant Ca-insensitive calmodulin (CaM1234) in rabbit ventricular myocytes to inhibit Ca-dependent ICa,L inactivation, combined with the ATP-sensitive K current agonist pinacidil or ICa,L blocker verapamil to maintain AP duration (APD) near control levels. Cell shortening was enhanced in pinacidil-treated myocytes, but depressed in verapamil-treated myocytes. Both combinations flattened APD restitution slope and prevented APD alternans, similar to ICa,L blockade. To predict the arrhythmogenic consequences, we simulated the cellular effects using a new AP model, which reproduced flattening of APD restitution slope and prevention of APD/Cai transient alternans but maintained a normal Cai transient. In simulated two-dimensional cardiac tissue, these changes prevented the arrhythmogenic spatially discordant APD/Cai transient alternans and spiral wave breakup. These findings provide a proof-of-concept test that ICa,L can be targeted to increase dynamic wave stability without depressing contractility, which may have promise as an antifibrillatory strategy.

A Sunday night police chase in Goshen ended in the death of the driver, Melvin Bledsoe III, 47, of Goshen. Bledsoe was shot and killed by five year veteran of the Goshen Police Department, Joshua M. Havens.
The chase started after an officer with the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department stopped Bledsoe's Ford pickup truck. It happened in the area of State Road 15 and County Road 40 around 10 p.m. Sunday night.
Police say Bledsoe accelerated as the deputy approached his vehicle and then drove off. The deputy tailed Bledsoe's truck for roughly four miles as it entered Goshen. At that point, the Goshen Police Department joined in on the pursuit.
The chase ended after ten minutes when Bledsoe crashed his truck into the main building at Faubian Plumbing, Heating & A/C Inc. The business located in the 700-block of E. Lincoln Ave. saw nearly $10,000 in damage.
Police say Bledsoe tried to dislodge his truck from the building by flooring the accelerator as police surrounded him. After refusing to stop, Bledsoe was shot once in the neck.
"You could see the black where the tires were just spinning and there was a lot of glass and a lot of rubber and we've cleaned that up," Owner Gregory Faubion said.
Workers mixed water with Pine-Sol, in attempt to erase a bad memory. Yet, they quickly learned some things just can't be scrubbed away.
"Right here, we're always going to know it and always be aware of what happened and that's something we'll have to adjust to, but it will always be there," Faubion added.
After searching Bledsoe's pick-up, police say they did not locate guns, drugs or alcohol. However, based off the way Bledsoe drove, police tend to believe he may have been under the influence. Investigators will not know for sure, until toxicology results are released in the next two weeks.
Indiana State Police are investigating the shooting, which is standard in officer involved shootings.
No police officers were injured in the pursuit. However, both a Goshen and Elkhart County squad car were seriously damaged.
A longtime Goshen resident, Bledsoe lived at 61156 State Road 15 with his girlfriend of 15 years.
Elkhart County records indicate Bledsoe has a lengthy criminal record:
3/07/1991 – Battery with a Weapon
6/4/1995 – DWI – Misdemeanor
9/20/1996 – DWI – Misdemeanor
9/20/1996 – Contempt
8/29/2000 – Driving While Suspended
9/17/2002 – Possession of Marijuana
9/17/2002 – Nonsupport of a Child
12/18/2002 – Possession of Marijuana
12/18/2002 – Nonsupport of a Child
3/26/2006 – Possession of Marijuana

Feather Pillows
Everybody loves to snuggle up in a warm cosy bed and let their head sink deeply into a sumptuously padded pillow.
Feather pillows are the perfect addition to any bedding set; these thick plump cushions are stuffed with the highest quality duck or goose feathers which helps to add a touch of luxury to your bedtime. Feather pillows are also designed with a cotton exterior to help keep the feathers neatly encased within the cushion whilst also ensuring that the feathers will remain in place throughout the night.
These beautiful feather pillows not only offer a wonderful sense of class and quality to your bedding set, they also provide some much needed head and neck support, helping you to drift off into a world of comfort and slumber. Although feather pillows are often considered to be superior in quality to other, perhaps cheaper, alternatives, they are generally the same size and depth of an average pillow and so therefore can still be used with your existing bed linen.

Desert Gem RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
An excellent smaller park. Many shade trees and also many citrus trees for campers to pick their own oranges, grapefruit and more. Owner is very helpful and easy to get along with. Fellow snowbird campers very friendly. Good musicians and planned activities. Clean buildings and well maintained grounds. This park rates five stars with us!

We're about two months into the season. A third of the way done. Albert Pujols is bad; the Baltimore Orioles are good. Cats and dogs living together. Let's help each other figure this out.
And the National League East is almost upside down. There were supposed to be four contenders for the division title this year, so it's not like its unexpected anarchy over there. But when you have the Mets near the top and the Phillies at the bottom, that qualifies as topsy-turvy by most rational standards. And dismissing the Phillies as being "at the bottom" is doing them a disservice, though, as they're still just five games back. A quick spin around the division entering Monday:
Team | Runs Scored | Runs Allowed | Differential | Pythagorean Record | Actual Record | Games back |
Nationals | 185 | 154 | +31 | 28-19 | 29-18 | - |
Mets | 204 | 223 | -19 | 22-26 | 27-21 | 2.5 |
Marlins | 191 | 195 | -4 | 24-24 | 26-22 | 3.5 |
Braves | 234 | 214 | +20 | 27-22 | 26-23 | 4 |
Phillies | 200 | 195 | +5 | 25-24 | 25-24 | 5 |
The difference between first and second place in the the AL West is greater than five games. The same goes for the NL West. But in the NL East, five games separate last place from first. Unlike the freakish parity of the AL East, the run differentials of the NL East suggest there should be three tiers: the Nationals and Braves at the top, the Phillies and Marlins in the middle, and the Mets near the bottom, where they have a condo.
But expected records are useful, not orthodoxy. The Mets don't have to give their wins back at the end of the year if they keep getting outscored. And the Braves are in the middle of a seven-game losing streak, so they probably don't care a lick about Pythagoras right now unless he can pitch better than Mike Minor. Which he can.
It's about to get a little weirder over the next couple of weeks thanks to the unbalanced schedule. Neither the Nationals and Marlins play a team from another division until interleague play starts up on June 8, and the Mets, Braves, and Phillies all have one series each outside the division over the next ten days. The cozy cluster of teams will start to drift away from each other with series wins and losses, sweeps and being-swepts.
The Phillies have to be freaking out about Roy Halladay's shoulder right now, and there's still no sign of Ryan Howard or Chase Utley. The Braves are wondering where in the heck their shutdown bullpen (and starting-pitching depth) went. The Marlins are getting the help they expected from Giancarlo Stanton and their rotation, but they know that Omar Infante can't continue to be the only other hitter doing well. The Mets did better with their run differential in May, but that only meant that they scored as many as they allowed. The Nationals ...
And when you try to do the same kind of concern trolling for the Nationals, it's hard. Only Adam LaRoche is outhitting expectations. Ryan Zimmerman should hit better, Mike Morse and Jayson Werth should be back soon, and Bryce Harper looks like the rare teenager who can be super productive instead of merely adequate. There isn't a pitcher in the rotation skating by with fluky strikeout/walk ratios -- they've all been extremely impressive.
The standings are close. But they might not be for long. After taking three of four from the Phillies and sweeping the Braves, the Nationals end their road trip in Miami. The standings say the Nationals are the team to beat. The expected standings say they're the team to beat. And they'll get better when they get healthier. Just a few games separate first from last place right now in the NL East, but that won't last. The Nationals are doing this without a middle of the order; when they get theirs back, they'll be the team likeliest to pull away.

How to find out the textframe contains "stroke color" (or) "fillcolor" via javascript. Kindly advise me with sample.
Hi Maria, try this
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var itext = idoc.textFrames[0];
var fillColor = itext.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor;
var strokeColor = itext.textRange.characterAttributes.strokeColor;
filled = stroked = "yes";
if (fillColor=="[NoColor]")
filled = "No";
if (strokeColor=="[NoColor]")
stroked = "No";
alert("Filled: " + filled + "\n" + "Stroked: " + stroked);
Maria, if you are talking about the path of an 'area text frame' then you need to look at it's 'text path' to read the properties of that… Eg
#target illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var tFrame = doc.textFrames[0];
if (tFrame.textPath.filled) {
alert( 'Text Frame is filled with ' + tFrame.textPath.fillColor.typename );
if (tFrame.textPath.stroked) {
alert( 'Text Frame is stroked with ' + tFrame.textPath.strokeColor.typename );
I know, this post is quite a while ago, but: This simply does not work for me. Neither for simple PathItems, nor for the characters of a TextFrame.
Working on: Illustrator CS5.5, Mac OS, Javascript
Simple example:
var numSelectedObjects = app.activeDocument.selection.length;
// If any objects selected: Get fill and stroke color of the first one
if(numSelectedObjects > 0){
alert("Fill Color: " + app.activeDocument.selection[0].fillColor + " / Stroke Color: " + app.activeDocument.selection[0].fillColor);
This returns always CMYKColor, RGBColor or GrayColor, even if there is no Color assigned to the objects stroke or fill!!
For PathItems there is the attribute ".filled" or ".stroked", which returns "true" or "false" and is reliable.
if(app.activeDocument.selection[i].filled){ // works fine with PathItems!
Is there anything similar for Characters? I tried this one, but it does not work (because I think it does not exist):
if(app.activeDocument.selection[i].textRange.filled){ // does not work!
I just need to find out, if the characters in a textfield have got a fill or stroke color. Reliable.
It would be very nice to get help from anybody!
Thanks a lot in advance!
