My name is Ryan and I have been involved in music for over 13 years now. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2010, I moved to Seattle to pursue my career in music. Since I've moved I have been teaching lessons, performing in musicals, performing at weddings/events, and playing with my rock band all over the country.
I love and respect every type of music there is but I have always excelled and found myself happiest in Rock. Some of the bands that have influenced me in music and that I still listen to to this day are: Blink 182, Yellowcard, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, No Doubt, Metallica, and such hard rock acts as Periphery, A Day To Remember, and many others.
It is hard to get a good gauge on who I am as a person through a website so please feel free to call or message me for more information or, of course, book a lesson!
-Ryan M.
*** Lesson Details ***
You are here on this website, which means you or someone you know wants to learn music and I am here to make that happen!
Our first lesson will be me figuring out what you want out of lessons. Some questions and us talking for a bit will lead to the necessary information I need to develop a personal lesson curriculum for you.
My goal is to seamlessly intertwine all the fun and beautiful aspects of music with the theory and knowledge that has been around for hundreds of years. I believe in having fun at lessons because music is supposed to be fun!
I also like looking at music as a whole. It may just be a guitar or bass lesson on the outside, but it is really a MUSIC lesson as a whole. Music has always been more than one instrument and our lessons will reflect that. It is not uncommon for us to be learning a song or an idea and take a minute to reflect on another aspect of what's going on if it is of musical importance/relevance. This will help you become not just an excellent instrumentalist, but an amazing musician.
In the end, I can guarantee the lessons to be fun, informative, and unique to you!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I own a bass guitar, an electric/acoustic guitar, cables, and an amp. Any instructional books I feel may be beneficial will be purchased when a couple lessons have passed and I know who you are and what your goals are.
*** Specialties ***
I am fluent in all styles of music but I specialize in rock, R&B, funk, groove, and hard rock.

ENJOYMENT OFFERED. Very enthusiastic and
experienced musician available for instruction offering the following:
# In-depth written music theory coupled with an equivalent of ear training and tone
# Introduction to performance skills with instruments that include:
Guitar - electric & acoustic
Drum Kit and percussion rhythms
# Group lessons or private instruction, depending on personal preferences and age
experience includes:
1) 15 years of GUITAR: professional performance
and composition. Styles include rock, folk, blues, chord
progressions, and alternate tuning.
2) 15 years of DRUMS and PERCUSSION: Latin, swing, blues, as well as rock, funk, punk, and reduced top forty beats.
3) 15 years of PIANO: which utilize
several years of personal instruction in classical, popular, and some ragtime,
in addition to an intimate knowledge of Piano Proficiency (scales & modes,
chord structures & inversions, common chord progressions, intervals, circle
of 5th, and finger exercises)
4) 2 years of MUSIC THEORY and COMPOSITION at college level.
Lessons will include additional materials to the primary instrument such as sheet music for
sight reading, rhythm patterns, tabletures, and chord charts.
***Above all, I encourage students to select those pieces, tunes, or songs that have appealed to them the most; perhaps even inspiring them to learn a musical instrument in the first place. Adaptations are a common and enjoyable part of the teaching process.
*** Lesson Details ***
Expect efforts, on my part, to steer learning into areas of the students particular interest as well as conventional genres such as classical, popular, folk, blues, etc...
Moreover, I rely on ear training as a strong complement to written music theory and sight-reading; often using recorded music samples or simple patterns on a piano.
I try to balance method-type published lesson books with beginner, intermediate, or original composition sheet music to specifically selected pieces.
Ideally, with a reasonable practice schedule each week, full comprehension of the written music grand staff and an ear to catch a false note will become second nature. By then, more opportunities to learn actual pieces and styles become greater, having got the initial learning curve under the students belt.

Why 'Pay to Win' Isn't the Biggest Problem with 'Free to Play'
I wish I could say that I remember my first experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator like it was yesterday, but that's not particularly true. That's not to say I don't remember anything, however, because I remember quite a bit.
I remember that, on December 31, 1999, my father took me to the library so I could download some content for it, thus introducing me to the internet. I remember shaking with anticipation as I walked up to the store counter to pick up $240 worth of accessories. I remember listening to Canyon while blasting through, appropriately, the Grand Canyon. I remember running into the house after I'd mowed the lawn, not even stopping to shower, so I could play the latest island I'd downloaded. I remember changing the game so I could drop nuclear bombs.
I remember crossing the Atlantic in a Concorde one Sunday afternoon and the thrill of seeing North America emerge on the horizon, the joy of taking components from one of the games and putting them into another, just to see if it would work, and spending hours on various websites, looking for new content. I remember a lot of things about a lot of different flight simulators, but it's Microsoft Flight Simulator that I always come back to.
It's weird, I think, that a core gamer like myself would be so profoundly influenced by flight simulators, his preferences and understanding of the media defined by these games, but there you have it.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 is the most important video game I have ever played. That's not to say that Combat Flight Simulator 1-3 or Flight Simulators 2000-2004 and X didn't have an impact on me either, because they did, but Flight Simulator 98 was the first, and so, to me, it was the most important. I still remember seeing "as real as it gets" on the box, and really believing it, because at that time, nothing had come close. Later improvements, of course, proved that slogan wrong, but it's an idea that's never let go of me.
It's an old franchise--Flight Simulator's older than Ultima, the father of all video game RPGs. It's older than Zelda and Mario. In fact, it's older than Pitfall and Pac-Man. It is, or, rather, was, one of the longest-running video game franchises of all time. The 2009 cancellation of the franchise hit me pretty hard, even though I'd moved on to other games by then. I still awaited the next release with the fervor of another Bungie or Remedy game. Microsoft later announced their next release in the series, titled "Microsoft Flight." I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was.
...then Microsoft Flight turned out to be a Free to Play game.
It was good, don't get me wrong. I got into the Beta. Much like Microsoft's other attempt at making F2P games, Age of Empires, it's actually pretty great. Unfortunately, Flight was canceled just five short months after its February 2012 release. Weird problems in Vancouver aside, it strikes me as odd that one of video gaming's most venerable franchises would be tossed aside so easily.
Generally, people share one primary concern about the upcoming release of any Free to Play game: that it will be "pay to win." It's a reasonable concern, of course. In any competitive multiplayer game, if the best weapons are unlocked by money, then it means that the winner is whoever has the most cash to spend.
There are other concerns as well, such as overpriced content or community fragmentation. Will they have to spend $15 on a single sword, such as in EA's Dragon Age Legends Facebook game? Where Microsoft Flight Simulator X cost $60 for 23 airplanes and the entire world, Microsoft Flight is $101 for Alaska, Hawaii, and seven airplanes (some of which don't even include cockpits). Even the non-Blizzard side of Activision has never proven to be so greedy. What if you have to pay to get some new map, and if you didn't, you couldn't join your friends?
These problems, however, all have reasonable solutions. For instance, developers can make all paid content cosmetic, which means that the community is not fragmented and no one can pay to win. Create a reasonable price, and bam, you've just solved every problem Free to Play games have, right?
Wrong. See, none of the above are problems inherent to the model. They are problems, to be sure, but they can be overcome with some smart choices on the part of the developers. There are deeper problems, and these ones are inextricable from the Free to Play model.
Recently, my dad brought me a flash drive. On it was a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, fully installed. He'd backed it up from an old computer he'd found in the basement. Looking through the files was fun; I got to explore myself as I was five or six years ago. There's a lot of nostalgia that comes with that--pictures in my head of the fond times of flying, the sounds, the smells, everything--and it all came flooding back.
You can't do that with a Free to Play game.
How does a Free to Play game work? The short version is that you download a client, the account data is stored on the developer/publisher's servers, and you buy stuff from them online. This is how they profit. Nobody makes a free game out of the goodness of their heart, unless they're awesome, but those people are very few and far between. F2P games don't work all that well if you can access all the content while offline.
So... you might spend money on the game, but that doesn't mean you own a copy of that game, and it certainly doesn't mean you're going to retain access to that game in the future. Should the developer or publisher decide to discontinue support of the game, then you've lost your access. When a Free to Play game goes dark, there's no recourse; the game might as well never have existed.
Above, I linked Dragon Age Legends, a formerly F2P Facebook game. To my knowledge, it is the only game of its kind to have been rereleased, with all content available to players even after the game's release. It's a neat idea, and one I wish people would do more, but I also recognize that rereleasing a game to the public can be challenging.
While this inability to play the game whenever you want is a concern, it's theoretically possible that the game may never go down in your lifetime, or, as discussed above, the game might be released for free, so let's consider yet another problem: your money is worthless. Sure, subscription services like the internet or cable television don't let you retain access to what you had before unless you save what you've seen to your computer or something, but that's a bit different. A game is a discrete thing. It stands alone. If you spent money on it... well, that cash no longer matters.
So, chances are extremely high that you'll be unable to access a game you enjoy in the future and that you've wasted your money playing it. Like I said, I've only found one instance of a F2P game that was still available after it was taken offline, and that's not a very good argument when you consider that there are thousands of these games on the market.
But there's another problem as well.
These pictures I've been using... they're not from Microsoft Flight. They're actually Duncan Harris' amazing shots of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, a game which has been modded fairly extensively. Microsoft Flight actually looks pretty bad, and there's nothing you can do about it. Why?
Because if you can mod a F2P game, you can access all of that delicious, gooey content that makes up the game. If you can do that, then you can break down the rigid restrictions of the pay wall and, quite honestly, do whatever you feel like with it. The developers no longer profit, and obviously, since their employees are all people with lives and families and obligations, profit's kind of important to them.
With a game players have already paid for, messing with the game files isn't really a problem. Some developers, like Bethesda, even encourage it, because they know that modding ultimately buys their sales. Arma II has consistently been one of the top sellers on Steam ever since Day Z released. Mods are wonderful for sales... but not for F2P games.
I'd like to take a screen shot of Microsoft Flight and give it to you, but, alas, this is the final fundamental problem with the model: account and internet woes.
I can't play the game.
Whenever I log in, Flight tells me that my code's already been used (of course it has--I used it!), and that I am not able to play the game. Just like that, I'm locked out of a video game I'd very much like to spend some more time in, because despite all its graphical failings, Microsoft Flight has a lot of really great ideas and is a truly enjoyable addition to the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise. Any normal, non-internet-attached game would have no problem letting me in, but no, not Microsoft Flight. I have to be on the internet to fly around by myself. If I had spent money on the game, I'd be locked out of all that content as well.
The next time a Free to Play game is announced, and it sounds awesome and exciting, remember: you might not be able to do what you want with it. It might not need to be flawlessly balanced, particularly if it's a single-player title, but even if it is, remember that you won't be able to, say, create your own global sensation with it, much less create a few interesting maps. There's always a chance you might not be able to play it right away, and it's even less likely you'll be able to play the game ten years from now, assuming you, like just about every other gamer on the planet, likes revisiting old video games. Pay to Win might be a problem with Free to Play games, but it sure isn't the only one, and it is by no means the worst.
For my part, I think I'm going to install one of my copies of Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 and fall in love all over again.
Big thanks to Duncan Harris, the genius behind DeadEndThrills, for giving me the permission to use his magnificent shots. You can, and absolutely should, check out a lot more of his amazing game photography on his website.

Newport great gran celebrates 104th birthday
9:40am Friday 22nd June 2012 in Gwent news
A GREAT grandmother celebrated her 104th birthday this week.
Violet Lawrence, spent the day with family and friends at Eleanor Hodson House, Caerleon, where she has lived since 1997.
Despite her grand age, the mother-of-three, who has eight grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren, is very active and staff at the home say she is "as bright as a button".
She is very active and walks around the building 12 times a day in a bid to maintain her fitness, and was last year pictured in the Argus practising shooting hoops with a netball.
Mrs Lawrence, who was born in Newport, grew up in Pontnewydd before moving back to the city to start a family.
She is believed to be the oldest surviving police widow, following the death of her husband William Lawrence in 1985, who was a Sargent with the then Newport Borough constabulary.
She enjoys knitting and reading and attends many activities at the home, including exercise classes, bingo, crafts, dominoes, skittles, and relaxes by watching the soaps on television in the evenings.
Staff say Mrs Lawrence always jokes she is a creature of habit and says people could set their watch by her.

I noticed that you left flowers on the gravestone of Roger R. Cummings. He is my Great Great Grandfather and the last known Cummings that we can accurately identify in our lineage. I am hopeful that you know anything about him, or his possible younger brother Thomas. I would be happy to share any of our knowledge with you.
Thank you.

Hello Mr. Cummings,
Are you in any way related to Lucille Steinbarth, buried in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth, TX? I saw that you kindly placed flowers in her memorial.
She was Lucille Anema/Anama Turley Steinbarth, born in Kansas in 1908. She was my maternal grandfather's younger sister (his name: Harry Anama).
Thank you for your time, and your caring.

ERIE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Southeastern Michigan authorities are releasing the names of two people killed in a weekend head-on crash near the Ohio line.
The Monroe County sheriff's department says the crash happened about 4 a.m. Sunday on Dixie Highway in Erie Township, about five miles north of Toledo, Ohio. A southbound car carrying two people crossed the center line and hit a northbound pickup truck.
The department says both people in the car were killed. They're identified as 35-year-old driver Jamall Mobley of Detroit and 31-year-old passenger Charla Bynum of Lincoln Park.
The department says the pickup's 24-year-old driver Dane McDonald of Erie was treated at Toledo's Mercy St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center and released.
The crash was under investigation Monday.

Following the road contest, the Dolphins (7-3) will host Seton Hall, Delaware, South Alabama and Mount St. Mary's in six games for a tournament at the JU Softball Complex beginning Friday.
"This is going to be a long week for us," JU head coach Ali Higgs said. "We have some tough competition, but as long as we do the little things right, we will be successful. Overall, we are ready to get going."
Last week, the Dolphins won four of the first six games at the JU Softball Complex to start the home schedule. They picked up two wins against Stony Brook, while also downing Ohio State and Bethune-Cookman. JU fought but fell to No. 5 Florida and No. 16 Louisville.
Senior Sarah Simon lead the JU offense after hitting .400 (8-20) with six RBI, three home runs and a double. She hit a home run against No. 5 Florida and hit her other two blasts in the wins against Stony Brook and Ohio State.
Sophomore Ashley Simon hit home runs on consecutive days, while freshman Victoria Brown had three doubles and five runs scored after hitting .389 (7-19) in six starts.
Brown also got the win in the circle against the Buckeyes after allowing two unearned runs on six hits and two strikeouts in seven innings. Freshman Cecile Gomez struck out 13 batters in 14 innings of work to get the wins against Stony Brook (2/15) and Bethune-Cookman.
The Lady Rattlers (1-8) lost four of their five games at the UCF Marriott Invitational last weekend. They did manage to knock off South Carolina, 5-4, for their lone win.
This is the second time the Dolphins have played the Lady Rattlers in the last two weeks. JU earned a 4-1 win behind two Sarah Simon home runs on the final day of the Panhandle Invitational on Feb. 10.
On Friday, JU starts its final home tourney against South Alabama (4:15 p.m.) and Seton Hall (6:30 p.m.). They will play Delaware and Mount St. Mary's Saturday beginning at 4:15 p.m. The Dolphins close the tourney Sunday with Seton Hall and South Alabama again starting at 11:15 a.m.
Of the four teams in the tourney, the Dolphins have only played Seton Hall previously before this season. The Pirates own a slight 3-2 edge in the all-time series, but fell to the Dolphins, 10-2, last season in the UCF Tournament.
Fans can follow the action through the live stats on JUDolphins.com.
JU's 7-3 mark through the first 10 games in the best start since the 2010 team (8-2) ... the Dolphins have at least seven hits in five of the last six games ... With her performance last week, Sarah Simon is now the JU all-time leader in total bases with 280. She is 11 shy of passing Amanda Schmidt (2009-12) for the all-time record of 126 ... freshman Cecile Gomez's seven strikeouts against Bethune-Cookman (2/17) are tied for the most in a game by a JU pitcher this season. Freshman Victoria Brown also had seven against the Wildcats on Feb. 9.

How we can customize appoint. calendar for the activity (task) for follow goal:
If user set status 1 - in the appointment we must see 'green' task
If user set status 2 - in the appointment we must see 'red' task.
in other words we have to set color in the appointment depend from status of the tasks.
How we can do this?
Any body ideas?
Have a look at the method RETRIEVE_APPOINTMENTS of the class CL_CRM_CALE_CALENDAR_IMPL.
here a table with all appointments is being built. every entry contains a field names "color", i think here you can implement your requirement.
Hi, Tobias
Thank you.
One small question:
format of the color? (example)
Edited by: Denis Khveshchenik on Nov 25, 2010 2:05 PM
maybe you can try hex-codes, e.g. "#EFEFEF" or common names like "red"
We have checked you idea with color = "#EFEFEF" or "red" -but it's not work (((
Field color by default is empty in the structure, but color of appointment is blue in the Web UI(
Do it's really work?
I think this idea is not work.
Any ideas?
Hi Denis,
We too have a similer requirement, where we need to set the color of an appointment in sap crm web ui calendar.
If the appointment is in future it's color should be let's say Yellow.
If the appoint is completed its should be in Green.
If the appointment is missed and over due it should be in Red.
Can you suggest me how we can achieve this? Thanks
HI, Mohan Venna
Unfortunately, we have't resolved this issue.
Possible, where are solution...
Hi Denis Khveshchenik,
I found one solution for this issue. I enhanced calendar_daily tag element handler class CL_CHTMLB_CALENDAR_DAY.
I added post exit for RENDER_APPOINTMENT( ). In that post-exit i used color attribute of appoinment value as background color.
IF NOT is_appointment-color IS INITIAL.
CONCATENATE '
' rv_html '
' INTO rv_html.
Now its working fine.

When most people decide to get married it should be for love. However, often times people marry for stability — financial stability. And although I understand the rationale here, and I partially agree, there's a few problems with this strategy.
You can't expect to marry someone bringing something to the table when you're bringing a bag. Quite frankly, you're a liability.
Ladies…please take notes.
As women, we often WANT to marry a man who'll be financially stable that we CAN love. Being able to fall in love with a person with the total package is clearly the ideal scenario. And I completely understand. I don't believe there's anyone who wants to struggle financially. But let's make one thing clear, it's important to also have your own assets.
Porsha Williams just got a rude awakening when she was left empty handed following her messy divorce from Kordell Stewart (See HERE). The former NFL athlete, made one thing clear in his divorce proceedings, he was already established before ever meeting Williams and marrying her. Prior to her housewives gig and charity work, no one is quite sure what the reality star did to make her money. During the course of the marriage Williams was also a stay-at-home wife. After the marriage went south, can we blame Stewart for trying to protect his bank account?

5Bryce Dallas Howard Finally Brought That Baby of Hers Out
Guys, did you know that Bryce Dallas Howard gave birth to her second child? Because she did. Four months ago, I'm hearing. Why did we not hear much about this? I've said in the past that BDH is one of my favorite Hollywood ladies (and not even because she's Richie Cunningham's daughter, and that's a Happy Days reference for all of you who were born after, like, 1987), but because she's so pure and sweet and talented.
Anyway, according to TMZ, this is the first time Bryce has been captured out in public with her baby since its birth, back in January, and I'm disappointed that we hadn't really heard anything about this little baby or seen a real photo in all this time.
You slipped under the radar this time, girl, but you watch out—we're going to be looking for you and that adorable little baby (Beatrice! How cute! Her name is Beatrice!) a little bit more vigilantly than we have in the past, friend.
Also, like I said, TMZ ran the initial photos of mom and Baby Beatrice, and I really thought that their titling of the post "It Takes a Village," to be kind of … I don't know, maybe rude. And the commenters over on TMZ have only further reinforced that fact as they've joined in on the discussion of Bryce's body, and naturally, you can imagine that they have a lot of really f-cking wonderful* things to say, too. Like say, oh … this:
Damn! I think they left a baby in there.
Or this one:
DAMN!!! Most of these actress' work to lose the load pretty fast. She seems to be playing "universe". She's ever expanding… Sorry Bryce, but you have cowed out, BIG TIME! Those thighs could feed a village of cannibals for a few weeks!
And then this:
1 word=LAXATIVES!!! STAT!!!
(That's actually two words, you dumb shit.)
And then the crowning jewel; the pièce de résistance:
They forgot a triplet in each a$$ cheek. Get off your lazy behind and get your self in respectable shape. Disgusting
You know, it's things like this that really make me fear for us as a society, all joking and snark aside. When the hell did we all become so physically perfect that we can belittle another person because of what they look like only months post-f-cking-partum?
*Sarcasm. Complete and utter sarcasm, guys.

I love Bryce! She is lovely no matter what! :)
In not knocking her for her post-baby body, but really…moccasins?
Being a good mother is more important than being skinny to make random internet strangers happy!
i would love to see pictures of these internet creeps. super easy to throw stones when no one can see your own sweatpantsed ass.
imagine…a mother putting more effort into raising her child than to getting back in red carpet shape?
I cannot STAND the "holier-than-thou" stance of the TMZ crew lately, especially since they are 90% male!! And to "joke" about taking laxatives to lose weight is no laughing matter! Women have died from laxative overdose! Her body-type is obviously different than most of Hollywood's so-called A-listers or Housewives of Somewhere! Well, guess what! So are most of the womens' bodies in the USA! We can't all be 5'3″ and weigh 80 lbs!
Anyway, back to TMZ; they are effing photographers who ask celebrities stupid questions and get a big kick out of laughing at everyone. I guess it must make them feel better about themselves? Most of the "fo-togs" are DOGS as far as looks go, and the rest are DOGS in personality!!!! Females or males…take your pick!
I love the sweet, kind nature of Ms. Howard, and have been a fan of her father's since I was a kid! TMZ fan? Not so much….

Poyet hails Bridcutt as the best
9:00am Tuesday 15th January 2013 in Sport By Andy Naylor, Chief sports reporter
Albion boss Gus Poyet has hailed the remarkable progress made by Albion's master protector Liam Bridcutt.
Bridcutt makes his 100th League appearance for the Seagulls at Birmingham on Saturday with Poyet singing his praises as the best defensive midfielder in the Championship.
The 23-year-old ex-Chelsea prospect has become vital for Albion since upstaging retired former Bulgaria international Radostin Kishishev and establishing himself as a regular.
Poyet said: "He has got the ability to pass the ball and know when to play forward, when to keep it, when to do things on the ball. The improvement in the last two years defensively is incredible and now he is a key member of our squad and the way we play.
"It was difficult for him to start with, because it was him or Kishishev. We talked to them about that position and the way we play and then Liam went to another level.
"He realised that defensive position we needed to help us defend better and it got to the point where he was the player who recovered most balls for us, he is the player who understands who needs help, when to cover and when to help a fullback or centre half.
"He is always in the right position. There are not many players who understand the game like Liam does. He is the type of player you want, because you know what you get."
The Albion players report back for training today with Craig Mackail-Smith on course to be available to face Birmingham after sitting out Saturday's 2-1 home victory against Derby because of hamstring tightness.
Poyet said: "Macca was 50-50. He didn't train until Thursday and on Thursday he didn't train very well, he knows that.
"He was still feeling it, then on Friday he pushed himself for 25-30 minutes of a very good session. I thought he was ready, then it was the other side of the leg.
"We checked him at 11 o'clock in the morning and together decided not to play him. The hamstring was very tight, to a point that it was a risk which we didn't need to take, having the whole squad and so many games to play in the next few weeks. If it was a (cup) final he would have played!"
Birmingham face Leeds in their FA Cup third round replay at St Andrews tonight for the right to host Spurs in round four.

Without him, our passing would soon break down as he is the constant link from the back four to the midfield. This along with his ability to read the game and break up plays makes him invaluable.

Bridcutt must be offered a long term contract which is too good to refuse. The clubs football ethos, its identity is based around what Bridcutt does on the field of play. He cannot be replaced.
Also, nice positive thoughts by Gus about CMS. These players are so important to our club.

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Romance, New Line, Box Office, Movie Marketing, Cinematical Indie, Movies, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeCholera has been defined as ... nope, I'm not going to spell it out -- I've got a weak stomach -- but if you don't know, here's the Wkipedia entry that will tell you more than you probably wanted to know about this particular affliction. Is the thought of cholera what's keeping people away from the new film by Mike Newell? Anne Thompson of Variety theorizes that Love in the Time of Cholera has not been helped by its title, which, when shortened, tends to be a word that "is not exactly a box office lure." The film opened this past weekend and earned $1.9 million, or about $2,247 per screen, according to Box Office Mojo.
Love in the Time of Cholera is an English translation of the original title of Gabriel García Márquez's novel "El amor en los tiempos del cólera." My Spanish isn't very good, but I'm pretty sure that's an accurate translation. Producer Scott Steindorff worked for more than two years to secure the rights to the book and the blessing of the Nobel Prize-winning García Márquez, according to the film's official site. After the first draft was completed, Steindorff and writer Ronald Harwood consulted with García Márquez, who reportedly told them: "The problem is that you and the writer have done too true of an adaptation -- you need to depart from the book." Steindorff says that García Márquez has "a great sense of humor," so they all laughed.
No one's laughing now, though the poor critical reception probably hurt as much or more than the title. I wonder if Steindorff ever brought up the idea of changing the title with the author? I'm certain somebody did at some point -- it's too obvious a potential marketing problem to ignore. Cholera may not be well-known today, but it's like smallpox or polio; it simply doesn't sound good, at least to me and, evidently, many other people. Yet the full title does have its supporters, like Cinematical's Erik Davis, who says it's one of his "favorite titles of all time for a number of reasons -- love is but a disease, after all." Did the title keep you from seeing this movie?

Since that day, victims have worked everyday towards healing emotionally and physically.
On Sunday, Jarell Brooks and his family were at church, like they always are. But this Sunday was different. The family used the day as an opportunity to remember what their son and so many others have been through.
On July 20 Jarell was trying to shield a mother and her two small children from gunfire. While shielding them, Jarell was shot in the leg.
"I thank God that he was not only one of the ones to make it out, but he had the courage to see to it that a young mother and her two children made it out safely," Deidra Brooks, Jarell's mom said.
Jarell says what he did that night was an act of God. He says the Lord was using him for a bigger purpose and believes it wasn't time for him to go.
"God has a purpose for all of us. It might not have been my time to go home - in a sense of heaven," Jarell Brooks said.
During the church service, Deidra talked about remembering those who lost loved ones [and] those who are still mourning and looking for peace.
The Brooks family says the way they were able to get through the last few months was by going to church and keeping faith that God will bring them through their troubles. The family says they will continue to pray for other families who are still in the depths of their grief and that they will find the same solace in their hearts.
"It's our responsibility to say 'yes, I remember and I'm going to pray for them,'" Deidra said.

|how to make a gigapanorama over 65,000pixels wide?
Posted: Nov 28, 2012Total Posts: 4
I use PTGui Pro as a sticher. Does anyone know how to make a gigapanorama over 65,000 pixels because PTGui Pro does not allow it? Also photoshop does not open files over 30,000 pixels. How can I open/manipulate images over 30,000 pixels? Any help or suggestions?
Thank you
David Pivin

GigaPan's own Stitcher program will handle that size and much larger. Your images do not need to be taken with a GigaPan unit, however you would have to purchase a license if you don't have one. I used it on one of my larger ones (5 gigapixels) to create a printable file. Exported out of the stitcher tool, it was a 119020 × 42184 pixel, 15 GB .raw file in Photoshop RAW format. That is the only way to export a file of those dimensions out of Stitcher since it exceeds both JPEG and TIFF size limits. A GigaPan of the finished and mounted print is at http://gigapan.com/gigapans/113711. The original pan is at http://gigapan.com/gigapans/49865.
I am not familiar with the features or limitations of the latest PTGui or other 3rd-party alternatives. Photoshop has been able to handle RAW formats since CS2.

For my sins I use Autopano, not something I whole-heartedly recommend but it can produce stitched images up to 300,000 pixels wide. (Not 100% sure that is the limit.)
As to editing, my version of Photoshop (CS5) will open images of over 30,000 pixels so I am not sure where your problem is. You don't give details of the problem or say what your version of PS is so I can only guess, but iirc "30,000" is the maximum dimension of a JPEG file so I'm wondering if your problem is that you are saving your stitches as JPEGs but PTGui is not saving the images correctly? You could try saving as TIFs.
Finally, if you are not aware of it, there is always The Gimp – a free image-editing program from gimp.org. Even if you don't like the program it is sometimes convenient to have when PS has a problem with the file because sometimes The Gimp will load it and that tells you the problem is with PS not the image.

Para ensamblar las imágenes podrás usar Gigapan Sticher, PTgui y AutopanoGiga. Para editar en Photoshop puedes usar los formatos .psb y raw de photoshop sin problemas. El jpeg está limitado a 30.000 pixeles y el Tif a 4 Gb. Saludos

There are file size limits to both JPG and TIFF files, with JPG limitations being 65k pixels.
TIFF limit is 4GB in size, as the file format uses 32-bit offsets. There is something called BigTIFF which uses 64-bit offsets, but that is rarely seen in the real world. :-)
The problem with TIFF files is that they aren't always compatible when they are extremely large. I've resized gigapans to do smaller images and exported them as a 3.9GB TIFF from the stitcher program and couldn't open it anywhere (LR, PS, GIMP), but took it down to a 3.1GB TIFF and everything was fine…

If you use Kolor's Autopano Giga, size will not be an issue, just specify .psb as your output. This is Photoshops large file extension. What does happen though, is Autopano will create a layered file, even though it doesn't show as layers in photoshop.
step one – take your pano
This file can not be submitted to gigapan at this point, it is layered. Mine also usually take up 13 gigs of disk space and take forever to load into Photoshop so wait till you have a lot of time on your hands. After flattening, the 13 gig file is now about 3 gigs in size.
step five – load into Photoshop
At this point you can make adjustments, crop, play with etc your image. If you had tried to do these things before flattening the image it would have taken 3, 4, or 5 times longer for Photoshop to complete each action. I have actually replaced the sky while layering and it took almost a week to do it so the top scene looked as perfect as I could get it.
If you are going to submit the image to Gigapan and you have made any edits that required creating another layer you MUST flatten the image again.
I always re-save as a .psb file as it's lossless, tiff's have a file size limitation. This is a longer process then Gigapan's stitcher but the end results are worth it.
Also, don't increase the bit levels as it won't make any difference other then increasing file size tremendously.

PTGui will save files > 64K pixels, if you use Photoshop large (.psb) format. If you plan on uploading to gigapan's site, make sure the .psb file has a single layer so you can open the file using gigapan's stitch software.

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
This was a book I was required to read for summer reading, and if it hadn't been required, I definitely would have probably put the book down. This book takes place in 1776, is about 13 year old Isabel, a slave that is sold with her 5 year old sister Ruth to a cruel couple, the Locktons, after their previous owner dies. On her first day, she meets a boy named Curzon on the way to the water pump, who encourages her to spy on her owners believing they know British plans to attack. Isabel brings what she hears to Colonel Reagan, who she believes she can trust. Her plan backfires however, when her owner Anne Lockton finds out, and Isabel is branded with a letter I on her face. A fire nearly destroys the whole city, and believing her owner sold Ruth, Isabel becomes furious and Anne makes up her mind to sell Isabel and Ruth, however before that can happen, Isabel manages to free herself as well as a very sick Curzon. This book was confusing, too detailed for me. I never really liked historical fiction, but this one was better than most.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Seven people were injured early Monday while escaping a burning East Village residential hotel, in several cases getting out by leaping from a second-floor window.
The blaze at Hotel Heritage in the 500 block of Ninth Avenue erupted about 2:45 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. It took crews about 20 minutes to subdue the flames, SDFRD spokesman Maurice Luque said.
Medics took the injured -- including three who jumped out an upstairs window to get away from the fire and smoke -- to UCSD Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital with smoke inhalation and leg injuries. One was admitted in serious condition, and the others were treated for minor to moderate trauma, Luque said.
Investigators determined that the blaze started in a second-floor room and was accidental in origin, though the precise cause remained unknown in the late afternoon.
The monetary losses were set at $1 million to the structure and $350,000 to contents. Damage to the three-story building was extensive enough that it might wind up deemed a total loss, according to Luque.
The American Red Cross was called in to help 14 residents secure emergency lodging. Other displaced tenants were able to make their own housing arrangements, the spokesman said.
THIS IS A STORY UPDATE. For an earlier version, read below.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A fire at a San Diego residential hotel has injured seven people — including some who jumped from a window to escape the flames — and left 14 homeless.
The blaze erupted at 2:45 a.m. Monday at the Hotel Heritage on 9th Avenue. It was knocked down within an hour.
City fire spokesman Maurice Luque tells U-T San Diego that seven people were injured, including three who jumped from a second-story window.
Firefighters with ladders rescued 10 other people who were about to jump.
Four victims suffered smoke inhalation while the jumpers had sprains and possible broken bones. One person was listed in serious condition.
Luque says the three-story hotel suffered $1.3 million in damage and may be a total loss.
The cause is listed as accidental.

What follows are some noteworthy quotes from Packers players and coaches leading up to the team's Week Seven game this Sunday at the Metrodome against the Vikings.
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy on the concussion that CB Sam Shields suffered when he tried to return an interception from the Rams' endzone in Week Six:
"I think he learned a lesson. … You don't want to take away the aggressiveness of your players, particularly defensive players, and our ability to score or make big returns. You can't have it both ways. … Anytime you handle the football you're a primary decision maker, whether you're a quarterback, the running back, receiver, (with the) the ball in your hands, you have to make good decisions." (Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
Packers FS Morgan Burnett on Vikings QB Christian Ponder, whom he played against twice in ACC games while at Georgia Tech:
"He was very athletic, a guy with a strong arm. He was a smart guy back there, and he was capable of making all the throws. The thing about him, he had great feet, he could extend plays, had great scrambling ability to extend plays longer than normal. You had to stick with your coverage a little longer." (Source: Green Bay Press-Gazette)
Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin on what he thought were too many dropped passes in the Week Six win over the Rams:
"We felt we didn't make the plays that presented themselves. We had three drops in the second half. We played awfully well in the first half and didn't finish the game. They made the plays and we didn't on third down. We have to catch the ball better and we have to make the plays when they're there. (Source: Packers.com)
Packers C Scott Wells on the team's' problems running the ball against the Rams:
"We didn't finish last week like we wanted to so we're looking to put together a full 60 minutes of good football. We have to execute. In the second half, our pads got high. That was a big thing and led to us not executing as well as we should have. If we execute our fundamentals and technique, we'll be fine." (Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).

A parolee released from prison on Saturday has been charged with killing his 90-year-old grandmother the next day in her southwest suburban home.
Darrel C. Agerton, 38, is charged with first-degree murder for the death of his grandmother, Veronica R. Schick, according to a statement from the Will County Sheriff's office.
Deputies responded about 7:30 p.m. Sunday to Schick's home in the 100 block of Jessie Street in unincorporated Joliet Township, where they found the elderly woman unresponsive, the sheriff's office said.
Agerton was paroled from the downstate Jacksonville Correctional Center, where he was serving time for a an aggravated DUI conviction, the day before the killing, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Agerton, who was living with his grandmother after being released, told deputies he woke from a nap and found his the woman unresponsive on the floor, then called 911, the sheriff's office said.
But based on statements he made to detectives and physical evidence found at the scene, police say he murdered the woman, the sheriff's office said. The sheriff's office could not be reached for comment on the cause of death Wednesday night.
Bond was set at $5 million on Wednesday and Agerton will be back in court Thursday.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

A South Side man convicted of robbing a west suburban Melrose Park bank last year was ordered held without bond Friday for allegedly stabbing a woman to death in Roseland the same day as the robbery.
Eric Murchinson, 44, was charged Thursday with one felony count of first-degree murder in the July 2, 2013, stabbing death of a 64-year-old woman at her home about 10:15 a.m. in the 10800 block of South Calumet Avenue, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
Judge Laura Sullivan ordered Murchinson held without bond Friday, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
Officers responding to a well-being check on July 5 found the woman lying in a garage unresponsive with a stab wound to the throat, police said.
Aurelia Wilborn was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:35 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. An autopsy performed the next day found that she died of an incise wound to the neck and her death was ruled a homicide.
The alleged stabbing happened the same day Murchinson robbed a bank in Melrose Park, authorities said.
According to a federal criminal complaint filed that day in U.S. District Court in Chicago, a robber walked into the Fifth Third Bank branch at 2501 W. North Ave. in Melrose Park at 10:38 a.m.
He approached a teller and inquired about purchasing a vehicle sticker, a statement from the FBI said at the time. He then demanded cash and indicated he had a weapon, although no weapon was shown. The teller handed over about $8,000 that he placed in a red bank bag before running out.
According to the complaint, three witnesses who were at the Hooters restaurant next door to the bank, saw a man run into the parking lot and approach a gray 4-door Lexus. The man was clutching a red bag to his chest and they saw a puff of red mist coming from the bag. He threw something from the bag, then got into the Lexus and drove away.
At the same time, the complaint said, a Melrose Park police officer at a Starbucks in the same strip mall heard about the robbery on his police radio. He met the witnesses, who pointed out the Lexus, which was stopped at the red light at 25th and North.
The officer ran toward the Lexus and drew his weapon. As he approached, he yelled through the open car windows for the driver to raise his hands. The driver raised his hands, but at the same time accelerated into the intersection, colliding with another car.
After the crash, police apprehended Murchinson, who was the only person in the Lexus, according to the complaint. Police found a red bank bag and cash on the floor, covered in red dye.
Murchinson, previously of the 10900 block of South Edbrooke Avenue, pleaded guilty to the bank robbery in December, according to federal court records. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, and is scheduled to be sentenced April 11.
He will appear for a preliminary hearing in the murder case April 18, according to the state's attorney's office.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

By JOHNNY CLARK
ATLANTA (AP) - Two lucky winning tickets were sold in this week's near-record $636 million Mega Millions drawing: one at a tiny newsstand in Atlanta, the other more than 2,000 miles away at a gift shop in California.
The ticketholders' identities may remain a mystery for months -- California gives the winner a year to come forward, Georgia 180 days -- but one winner is already known: Thuy Nguyen, who owns Jennifer's Gift Shop in San Jose.
For selling a winning ticket in Tuesday's drawing, Nguyen will get $1 million, California Lottery officials said.
"You can understand why that retailer was smiling last night," state lottery spokeswoman Donna Cordova said Wednesday.
But his counterparts in Georgia -- Young Soolee and Young Lee, who own a Gateway Newsstand at on office building in upscale northern Atlanta -- gets no bonus beyond the usual 6 percent commission on lottery sales, Georgia lottery officials said.
Lee said Wednesday that he hadn't heard anything official from the state lottery office yet. But still, he said, "This is good for me and my family," noting the publicity that the winning ticket would bring the store, even without a bonus.
Policies on store bonuses -- along with those on how long a winner has to claim a prize and whether their name goes public -- vary by state, according to an email from Paula Otto, Mega Millions lead director. In both Georgia and California, winners' names are released.
Nguyen told KNTV he doesn't know who the bought the winning ticket at his store, which sits along San Jose's tree-lined Tully Road, amid a cluster of Asian restaurants. But it's likely someone he knows -- most of his customers are his friends. "I feel good! I don't even know, I can't sleep," Nguyen told the station.
The Atlanta store is in Buckhead, a financial center of Atlanta and one of its largest neighborhoods, a vast northern area known for upscale shopping centers such as Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, both a short walk from the store that sold the winning ticket. The Alliance Center is home to a variety of offices -- lawyers and financial services professionals, even the Brazilian Consulate General.
Young Soolee grinned as she arrived Wednesday morning at the shop off the lobby of the Alliance Center office building. The newsstand -- a small, long shop with one register that can hold perhaps 10 people at a time -- is frequented by workers at the office building, which sits across the street from an upscale mall.
"I'm so excited and so happy now," Soolee said. "I love my store and the customer now."
Earlier media reports indicated Soolee would receive a bonus for selling a winning ticket. But Georgia Lottery spokeswoman Tandi Reddick clarified that's not the case.
"They do have the distinction of being known as the lucky store now, and that's always great news for them," Reddick said.
Store customer Melzetta Oliver called the owners "wonderful people," but the news that they'd get no financial reward disappointing.
"I thought this morning that they would win a million dollars," Oliver said, adding that "they should have something."
The winning numbers were: 8, 14, 17, 20, 39; Mega Ball: 7.
The jackpot was the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history. It started its ascent Oct. 4. Twenty-two draws came and went without winners, Otto said.
Otto said $336 million in tickets were sold for Tuesday's drawing -- they had projected $319 million.
The winners can choose to be paid over time or in a cash lump sum, Otto said. Based on the $636 million figure, the winners would receive $318 million each over time or $170 million each in cash.
Mega Millions changed its rules in October to help increase the jackpots by lowering the odds of winning the top prize. That means the chances of winning the jackpot are now about 1 in 259 million. It used to be about 1 in 176 million, nearly the same odds of winning a Powerball jackpot.

When it comes to scoring and production in the playoffs, the unexpected is about what you should expect. Like how Craig Adams can go 82 regular season games without scoring a goal, but then pop in a goal in the very first playoff game, as he did last season. Or Arron Asham scoring only four goals all season long this year, but then going out and getting three goals in this playoff series.
Crazy things can happen in short series and the seemingly unlikely events happen more frequently than observers expect.
But if the Pittsburgh Penguins don't get their top guns on the board, they are going to be in trouble closing out the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Take Jordan Staal - zero goals and two assists five games into his first playoff series as the marquee player on the team. That production is not going to cut it. Staal does have 13 shots on goal, but 10 of those came in two games - he's got just one shot a piece in the three other games.
Mark Letestu, nominally classified as the number-one center, has zero goals and one assist. It's hard to believe, but the team famous for strength down the middle, with legendary players like Mario Lemieux, Ron Francis, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, now has top two centers (Staal and Letestu) combining for zero goals and three assists through the first five games of the playoffs. That's a bitter pill to take, but the blame hardly ends there.
Chris Kunitz, twice a productive Stanley Cup winner, is in a similar drought - he's got one goal and no assists in four games, missing one game of course due to a suspension for elbowing Simon Gagne in the head. That's an atrocious playoff so far personally for him.
James Neal, who's fighting through an injury, has one goal and one assist in five games. Granted, the goal was of huge importance in double overtime, but Pittsburgh will need more from him. Alex Kovalev, Neal's frequent linemate, also has one goal and one assist in playoff action. For a guy who's playing to show he still belongs in the NHL, Kovalev's time seems to be running out.
Kris Letang hasn't scored a goal since February 11, a span of 30 games. He hasn't scored an even-strength goal in 43 games, dating back to January 10. The Pens need him to play solid defense, but he's also the most talented puck-handler on the team and is going to have to hit the net sooner than later to keep the season going.
Those six players are the most skilled and vital pieces of the Penguins offense, and right now they're being out-produced by guys like Asham, Mike Rupp and Max Talbot. Already down Crosby and Malkin, Pittsburgh can't expect to win many games with their other best players not coming through on the scoreboard. Game 6 will be a huge test, and mark these words: if the six guys highlighted above can produce goals and lead the way, the Pens will win tonight in Tampa.
If they remain silent, this series is likely heading back to Pittsburgh for a decisive seventh game.

The amount of time citizens have left to take care of outstanding fees and fines in Smith County is running out. This weekend, as part of the state-wide warrant roundup, law enforcement officers will begin arresting people who haven't paid up.
The two-week grace period that Smith County has granted people who owe money to the court ends on Friday. After that, anyone who hasn't paid what they owe to the court or hasn't set up a payment plan to do so could find themselves spending the weekend --or longer-- behind bars. "We are going to come and arrest you. You will be arrested," says Smith County Precinct 4 Commissioner JoAnn Hampton.Hampton says the county is owed money for fines and fees back to 2007. This year, they aim to collect it. "It's just like anything else. It's a bill that has to be collected and the county is obligated to collect that money," Hampton says.Since the county began passing out blue notices to people who owe money to the court, they've collected more than $11,000 in unpaid fees and fines. However, Smith County is still owed millions of dollars by hundreds of people who will soon come home to bright orange notices, letting them know that the county is actively seeking their arrest. "Because we have changed up how the deputies patrol, we have more deputies on the streets. It's more likely now, even without this roundup, that you could be picked up for a misdemeanor, which is what a court cost or fine would be. Honestly, if you could take care of that now it would be a lot less embarrassing and wiser to do," says Smith County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer John Moore.Not just Smith County, but roughly 300 agencies across the state will be looking for the people who haven't paid up, and they aren't just stopping by homes. Officers will be going to workplaces and hunting people down at any known hang-outs, too.
Even if someone manages to avoid arrest during the warrant roundup, their fees and fines aren't going away. That information will be turned over to DPS, and people who haven't paid their fees and fines will be faced with them again when it's time to renew their driver's license.

LAKE WYLIE, SC (WBTV) - Six years ago, life was financially great for Dwayne and Kelly Daves.
They had just purchase a million dollar home on Lake Wylie, boats, cars - everything. But shortly after Dwayne's cattle shipping business closed and he was out of work. Two weeks later, the couple found out little Abygayle was on the way.
Abygayle was a surprise for them. Kelly went to the doctor thinking she had appendicitis.
"They told me my appendix was fine, but the baby was right where it should be," said Kelly.
Then shortly after Abygayle was born they found out another big life change.
"She was born with the Esophageal Atresia - Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula, I don't say that much anymore it's EA/TEF for short," said Kelly.
The short version of EA/TEF – is Abygayle was born without an attached esophagus.
According to www.atef.org, this rare congenital birth defect affects about 1 in 2,500 to 3,500 babies.
With EA/TEF, the esophagus, which connects the mouth to the stomach, is shortened and closed off (dead ended) at some point along its length. The baby is unable to swallow, and may also have trouble breathing.
Also in Abygayle's case, there's no flap to her stomach.
That mean whatever goes down can come right back up - like a tea pot - if she jumps up and down or lays down on her back after eating.
Doctors have had to rebuild her Esophagus five times and she's had aspiration pneumonia more than 12 times.
Most everything Abygayle eats is ground up in a blender.
"Squash, zucchini, even a spinach salad," said Kelly.
At 18 months of age, Kelly found a specialist for her chronic illness in Cleveland, Ohio and things were getting a little better for Abygayle.
But the medical bills kept piling up.
"We've taken out equity lines we've done everything we can do," said Dwayne. "It's time to have a clean slate."
Because of the market crash - they sold the lake house at half price, and now everything inside from their wedding china, furniture, even Dwayne's Great-Grandmothers rocking chair is going on the auction block.
"Everything is significant and has memories," said Dwayne.
However they both agree nothing in the house is as important as their kids lives.
"I would like to think it's a blessing to [the buyers] that they buy it and it reminds them of that life is meant to be lived," said Kelly.
The family raises cattle in the Clover area and is renting a home.
They've cut all excess expenses because every year they have to travel to Cleveland to get Abygayle's esophagus stretched just so she can somewhat eat normally.
The Daves auction is Saturday morning starting at 10 a.m. sharp at 450 Squirrel Lane in Lake Wylie.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston is continuing where he left off last week. After picking up 118 yards and one touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Colston has two touchdown grabs and 98 yards through three quarters of play.
Colston had a breakout game during Week 6 with that 118 yard, one touchdown performance. Still, he has been competing against tight end Jimmy Graham for Drew Brees attention. Graham had seven catches for 124 yards. Colston had missed all of September minus the season opener due to an injured collarbone. He had six catches for 81 yards against the Packers, but his production was more than matched by Graham's.

Lowry battling tendinitis in left hand
Giants southpaw resents comparisons to Blass, Ankiel
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Noah Lowry attributed his stunning inability to throw strikes to a case of tendinitis between his left thumb and wrist, which impedes his grip on the ball and robs him of control.Lowry was scheduled to return to San Francisco on Tuesday to consult Dr. Gordon Brody, a hand specialist who works with the Giants. Early Tuesday morning in the Phoenix area, Lowry visited Dr. Gary Waslewski, who made the diagnosis after administering an X-ray and range-of-motion tests. Lowry has been told to treat the injury by resting the affected area for a couple of days, wearing a splint and taking anti-inflammatory medicine. Although Lowry is expected to miss his next start, which would have been Friday against Oakland, manager Bruce Bochy believes that the 27-year-old will be ready to join the season-opening starting rotation as planned. Lowry said that he noticed the malady, which manifested itself as "fatigue" in his thumb, about a week ago. He tried to pitch through it, but walking nine of the 12 Texas Rangers batters he faced and throwing three pitches to the backstop Monday prompted him to seek medical help. Lowry, who displayed his quivering thumb for reporters, took comfort in learning that the injury is apparently not severe and should delay his preparation for the regular season only slightly. "You never want to have an injury," Lowry said, "but on a scale of one to 10, it's closer to a one or two." Lowry said that receiving a cortisone shot would be an option if his injury doesn't respond to the initial treatment. He'd prefer to avoid that step, but after missing part of the 2006 season with a right oblique strain and the final month of last season with tightness in his left forearm, Lowry's fed up with inactivity. And he realized how jarring his performance Monday looked. "I don't want to miss any more time for me or for [the team]," he said. "But at the same time, not just for myself but for these guys on the field, I can't go through what I went through yesterday. The outing, so to speak, doesn't bother me, but that affects the demeanor around here, in my opinion, and that's not something I want to do. I don't want to affect the team in that way. I'm going to get this thing taken care of and we'll go from there." Always forthright with reporters, Lowry explained that he didn't address the media after Monday's game because it was still in progress (reporters usually are allowed in clubhouses during Spring Training exhibitions) and he wanted to discuss his injury with Bochy and pitching coach Dave Righetti first.
