- Service??DelishVIPDined on 11/22/2014I had gone to lunch at L'Opera two weeks before this dinner. The lunch was amazing. The service exceptional. This time though....dinner for 5 of us. Our waiter was talking at us. Barked information at us so fast we could hardly keep up with what he was saying. Not a good or pleasant experience. At the end, he brought our check we set it out on the table..we weren't quite ready he picked up the book we said "wait a minute" he literally threw the book back down on the table and rushed away. The food was really good, bit I doubt if we will go back.Special Features:
- DeliciouskewllewkDined on 11/18/2014Arrived for a late lunch so it was nice and quiet with only a few other tables occupied at that time. The reception was very friendly and the wait staff were prompt and professional and made sure that waters stayed full and empty plates where whisked away.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BtravelerOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/13/2014Business trip party of 13 on a Wed night. Had many good experiences at L'Opera in past but this wasn't one of them. Took almost an hour to get salads and another hour before entrees to come out. understand large parties difficult to accommodate but most of our meals were cold. Believe they were short staffed as the place was have empty. Will try again but hope they fix staffing issues.
- WOW!!!DelishVIPDined on 11/10/2014loved everything about this place. The food is a work of art. The chef pays attention detail. The service was over the top!! Go Here!!!Special Features:
- AdgirlDined on 11/8/2014This is the perfect setting for a special night out with it's slightly dimmed lighting and white clothed tables. The menu offerings were of upscale Italian fare, not your traditional Italian items. Everything from the salad to desert was delicous. The service was excellent, even for a moderately busy Saturday evening. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014The ambiance, menu and service exceeded my expectations, and would be a great location for anyone visiting a downtown event... either before or after.Special Features:
- wonderful472mccDined on 11/7/2014I would definitely recommend this to my friends. Very friendly waiter, did not feel rushed, the food was excellent. In fact I ordered something that not in the menu and they whipped it up no problem and it was superb. Great choice and would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Waiter staff smugdogbreathDined on 11/6/2014This is probably the best restaurant in Long Beach. However, the waiter staff is smug and talk down to customers. This has happened almost in my dozen or more visits. As an example, they try to steer through the wine list rather than just explaining. Overall service is good but the attitude is annoying.
- C-food Stew Earns an A+DinoVIPDined on 10/30/2014L'Opera continually and consistently serves the freshest, health-consciously prepared, and delicious tasting dishes, salads, and stews. This week with the drop in the temperature - I was craving an Italian seafood stew - and L'Opera serves up CIOPPINO, amazingly, with a hint of heat ($28). It is as good, or better, then the East Coast staple that requires a lengthy cooking time - a science in simmering & sautéing - of Fresh Fish, Clams, Mussels, Shrimp, Crab & Calamari, in a broth of Clam Juice & Tomatoes. The pungency and bringing together of spices & shell fish, is a meal in itself. It is garnished with Focaccia Bread ( the carbs were cast out).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- L'Opera - Long BeachOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/25/2014As always, a wonderful meal.

Just right for the timing and mood.Special Features:

- Good food/bad serviceMaryVIPDined on 10/9/2014We went there for a birthday dinner. Told our server that it was the person's birthday right away. We were there for an hour before being served our dinner, then they did not even acknowledge the birthday! The manager felt bad (after I mentioned the wait) and brought three desserts to the table on the house. That was nice but when we told them it was a birthday celebration he said, "Oh, you should have told us!". Hopefully, this was just an off night for them. The food was very good.Special Features:

- Excellent foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/21/2014The meal was delicious. I was there for a business dinner while attending a conference.

- Not as gooddogbreathDined on 9/15/2014People from my company have regularly eaten at L'Opera since 1998. We bring guests from all over the world. Recently, the food has been slipping from very good to fair.There is not much competition in Long Beach, but L'Opera is only marginally the best restaurant in town. Service remains traditional and good but we continue to have higher expectations than delivered recently.
- As always, fantastic!EricaDined on 9/5/2014This is one of my favorite spots in Long Beach. The food was terrific and the service was outstanding. We were celebrating my dad's birthday so we were a group of 8. Our server was super attentive and took great care of us. The food was delicious and the ambiance (including the amazing singer- hence, L'Opera- was the cherry on top!Special Features:
- One of the BestcarollVIPDined on 8/29/2014I love L'Opera. The food is excellent. The service is excellent. Our waitperson, Tina, took great care of us. We were celebrating my birthday so a plate of chocolate covered strawberries appeared after our entrees. The manager suggested we take our time tonight since their singer was on his way. He arrived and sang some beautiful Opera and show tunes. He did a beautiful "Happy Birthday" too. It was a special evening with great friends at a restaurant where great service and great food are always served.Special Features:
- TinaDined on 8/14/2014The food and ambiance were very nice but the service was slow. Our lunch order wasn't taken for 35 minutes. There seemed to be only one server for the roughly 10 occupied tables. She did bring a free dessert and apologize for the slow service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Don't neglect this special gem whenever you are in Long Beach or will be meeting someone halfway from LA!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- L'Opera = ConsistentOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/9/2014The hallmark of any successful restaurant is its consistency. It doesn't have to be the greatest restaurant there ever was, just consistent. People like knowing what they're going to get time after time. That L'Opera is truly an excellent restaurant on top of always being at the top in all categories makes it even better. Go there and have a wonderful time. You won't be disappointed. Bring along a copy of God's Banker to read while you're waiting for your guests. Goes great with a glass of Chianti.Special Features:
- OutstandingbobmilbldrsDined on 8/8/2014It's been 10 plus years since my last visit. It was again an Outstanding dining experience as reflected above.

- Very enjoyableeandpVIPDined on 8/6/2014We had dinner at L'Opera a few nights ago and it was very enjoyable. The waitress was attentive, service was quick (we told her we had to leave at a specific time and she made sure we were served quickly - but not rushed), she made helpful and accurate recommendations on the drinks and food. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would return.Special Features:

- The following 895 reviews are from the L'Opera reviews archive.
- A Favorite RevisitedchowhoundDined on 7/29/2014My friend and I were seated immediately and the waiter attended us promptly. Although a little reserved, he clearly knew the menu after having worked there for 20 years. The restaurant was not busy. We order the ahi tuna tartar which was absolutely amazing. The presentation was composed and the flavors were spot on. The fish was extremely fresh and the components complemented the tuna but did not overwhelm. My friend order the rack of New Zealand lamb which he loved. My osso bucco was not good. The meat was dry and not seasoned well and the polenta was heavy with a thick tomato ragu. Truly disappointing. The dessert was a shared crème brulee, which was good but the top did not have that wonderful "crack".I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fa Bene! Great!DinoVIPDined on 7/28/2014L'Opera's week days' Happy Hour is first-rate. And imposing as, an early-eve date. The portions are generous, and generously discounted as "bar menu" fare however, remain just as glorious as, L'Opera's reputation. Known for their freshly-prepared, thoughtfully-added ingredients, and savory-aromas: Try the Vongole Piccanti, Manila young clams sautéed in their juice with white wine, parsley, and chili flakes, and/or the very-tender Carpaccio Classico. Both make a diner very happy and that is before sipping any of their signatureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

| Mike Trout is more than simply the best baseball player on earth. He is the gold standaard. At 22, Trout made his third straight American League All-Star team. It's not the numbers or the accomplishments. It's the joy with which Trout plays the game. It's the speed he seems to do everything, how he explodes out of the batter's box and sprints around the bases. It's his attitude. It's how he seems to have a permanent smile on his face. Trout is the whole package.

| The American League kept up nearly two decades of dominance by beating the National League 5-3 Tuesday, July 15, for its 13th win in 17 years. Derek Jeter soaked in the adulation from fans and players during one more night on baseball's national stage, set the tone for the AL with a pregame speech and then delivered two final All-Star hits. Mike Trout, perhaps the top candidate to succeed the 40-year-old Yankees captain as the face of the game, seemed ready to assume the role with a tiebreaking triple and later a go-ahead double that earned the 22-year old MVP honors.

| They came to their current positions 22 years ago, one as a member of the Yankees' organization, the other as the baseball commissioner. Derek Jeter was drafted in June 1992, three months before Bud Selig rose to the top of the sport's hierarchy. Now they are retiring, with just the final lines remaining for their weighty legacies. It was Jeter, not Selig, who was celebrated at his final All-Star Game. Selig leaves baseball in much better shape than it was when he took over. Having Jeter the sport's front man was the easy part.

| Sunday was a reunion of sorts for the city of Atlanta at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Tim Glavine, Greg Maddux and their manager Bobby Cox were part of a remarkable run of success by the Braves and now they are Hall of Famers. They won an unprecedented 14 straight division titles and made 15 playoff appearances. Frank Thomas and two other managers, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, were also inducted before a huge crowd of nearly 50,000 at Cooperstown, N.Y.

| At a time when offensive numbers in baseball have dwindled to their lowest levels since the early 1970s, the Colorado Rockies regularly field a lineup with five players hitting above .300. Troy Tulowitzki, the Rockies stellar shortstop, won NL player of the month honors with a torrid April, only to get hotter in May. He led the league with a .391 batting average, 11 home runs, and 33 RBIs. "With age I've become better," said Tulowitzki, who toned his body with improved nutrition. "I'm probably the best I've been as an overall complete hitter."

| Adam Wainwright played stopper to the St. Louis Cardinals' three-game skid, taking two runs of support and making it stand in a 2-0 victory over the Giants on July 2 at AT&T Park. The victory made Wainwright the NL's first 11-game winner, and with 7 2/3 scoreless innings, he lowered his ERA to an NL-best 1.89. Matt Carpenter, who delivered the game-hitting RBI hit, said, "Adam's the guy we call on when we need a jolt." Soon after on May 26, 2014, Wainwright pitched the finest game of his career. With 1,232 strikeouts in his career to date, he is second to Bob Gibson in Cardinals franchise history in strikeouts.

| To Houston Astros manager, Bo Porter, there's no one playing better in the majors right now than Jose Altuve who got three more hits and stole two bases on June 29, as the Astros defeated the Tigers 6-4. He finished the three-game series 9 for 14 and was leading the big leagues with 116 hits, with a batting average of .347. He's already stolen a career-high 36 bases. Altuve became the third player since 1904 with four stright games with multiple steals. Listed at 5 feet, 6 inches, Altuve stands well below the 6-2 of the average major leaguer, but he says, "Don't judge me by size, but how I play."

| When Max Scherzer is on the mound, the Detroit Tigers have a chance to win pretty much any game. Scherzer is not unbeaten, unlike this point last year. He was, however, All-Star again. Scherzer closed his first half with four consecutive starts allowing two runs or fewer, but his dominance goes beyond the scoreboard. In his last four starts, he allowed only five runs on 19 hits over 28 innings, walking six and striking out 35. The Tigers' veteran right-hander has the pitches to win, including a nasty slider. "I am throwing the ball well right now," said Max, "but the biggest thing is just being on a relentless attack, always attacking the strike zone."

| Tony Gwynn, the Hall of Famer with a sweet left-handed swing who spent his entire 20-year career with the Padres and was one of San Diego's most beloved athletes, died of oral cancer, Monday, June 16. He was 54. Gwynn, whose 3,141 hits rank 19th on the all-time list, was as revered for his upbeat and affable nature as his lifetime .338 average and eight batting titles. He earned election to the Hall of Fame with an overwhelming 97.6% of the vote. Gwynn had said he believed the cancer was attributed to years of using chewing tobacco.

|After winning two Cy Young Awards in the past three season, Clayton Kershaw had already built a commanding reputation as the best pitcher in baseball. Now he has a no-hitter to put on his resume. Kershaw pitched his first no-hitter Wednesday night, June 18, striking out a career-high 15 and allowing his only base runner on a throwing error in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 8-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Kershaw retired his first 18 batters before Corey Dickerson led off the seventh with a slow bouncer to shortstop Hanley Ramirez. His throw on the run went wide past first baseman Adrian Gonzalez for a two-base error, ending any chance for a perfect game.

| Albert Pujols of the Los Angeles Angels hit the 500th home run of his career Tuesday night, April 22, becoming the 26th player in Major League history to reach that milestone. He became the first major leaguer to get his 499th and 500th homers in the same game, connecting twice and driving in five runs. The 500th went to left center at Nationals Park. Pujols clapped his hand before trotting home, and then pointed his index finger to the sky. After a couple of down-for-him years with the Angels following 11 outstanding seasons with the Cardinals, Pujols appears ready to reclaim his spot among the game's elite hitters.

|Tim Lincecum's days of dominance may be in the past but that doesn't mean he can't dial up flashes of the Freak he once was -- especially against the San Diego Padres. Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the Padres in less than a year, allowing only one runner June 25, and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 triumph at AT&T Park. He became the second Giant to pitch two no-hitters, barely missing a perfect game. Lincecum totally shut down the Padres, striking out six and walking one in a 113-pitch outing. This was the third no-hitter in the majors this year.
In another no-hitter, Josh Beckett Throws No Hitter, Dodgers beat Phillies 6-0.

|For the Giants, winning is a language that everyone in their clubhouse speaks fluently. Depending on the situation, they know what accent to place on various aspects of the game. They can convey excellence through the murmur of pitching and defense or with the clamor of offense. Widely considered one of baseball's best managers, Bruce Bochy has coaxed contributions from virtually every player. Asked to summarize Bochy's influence, Mets manager Terry Collins said, "Bruce keeps everything calm. Nobody's ever nervous around him. His coaches are the same way.

| President Barack Obama had a compelling reason to become the first sitting president to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on May 22. "I promised Frank Thomas I'd check the place out before he's inducted in July," Obama, a well-known White Sox fan, joked. The real reason for the president's trip was to promote international tourism and highlight the benefits it generates. "I love baseball. It continues to be our national pastime," said Obama. "And for any baseball fan out there, you've got to make a trip here." Obama's appearance coincided with the 75th anniversary celebration of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

| Chris Davis, the All-Star first baseman of the Baltimore Orioles, is determined to get back in sync and back to form. On Tuesday night, May 20, Davis hit home runs in three consecutive at-bats in an impressive display of offense that highlighted Baltimore's 9-2 series-opening win. "The first ball I hit," Davis explained, "I just tried to stay through it and get on top of one instead of working underneath on everything, and I was able to hit it. After that I just looked for the ball and tried to see it and hit it. Earlier today in BP, I felt lilke it kind of clicked for me, and it showed up for me in the game."

The Photo Gallery features Don Weiskopf's sequence-series photographs of Braves' pitcher Lew Burdette, who won three games in the '57 classic, and Hall of Fame sluggers Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews.

| Don Zimmer wasn't a fixture in baseball forever. It just seemed that way. He played alongside Jackie Robinson, coached Derek Jeter, and his manager once was Casey Stengel. For 66 years, Zimmer was a popular presence at ballparks all over the country. He was still working for the Tampa Bay Rays as a senior adviser when he died on June 4. Zimmer had been in a rehabilitation center since having seven hours of heart surgery in mid-April. "He was a great baseball man, a baseball lifer, and a mentor to me," said teary-eyed Yankee manager Joe Girardi.

| Jim Brosnan, a Cincinnati native, major league pitcher, author, Army veteran, husband and father has passed away. He was 84. Brosnan is primarily known today as the author of two books about his baseball life, The Long Season and Pennant Race. Even as a major league player, Brosnan's intellectualism often set him apart from his teammates. He kept a day by day diary which was published in 1960. The book was revolutionary, as it was the first truly honest account of the life of a major league ball player. In The Long Season, Brosnan's warmth and humor shine through the entire book.

| The Angels won the game -- on Collin Cowgill's walk-off homer, which capped a 14-inning thriller -- but no one will forget the throw from A's left-fielder Yoenis Cespedes. "A guided missile," Angels' manager Mike Sciosica called it after his team's 2-1 win at Angel Stadium on June 10 After misplaying a ball in left field, Cespedes picked it up and fired a laser to the plate to nail Howie Kendrick as the go-ahead run. The throw traveled at least 300 feet and landed snuggly into the glove of A's catcher Derek Norris, who applied the tag for the stunning out. A's manager Bob Melvin said, "There aren't that many guys able to throw it that far on the fly."

| Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino realized quickly it was one of those days when it really didn't matter what pitch he called. Fastball away? Change-up? Curve? All were kryptonite to the Cleveland Indians on Sunday, June 29, when thrown by Felix Hernandez, who allowed just one hit in eight innings in leading the Mariners to a 3-0 victory at Safeco Field. Cleveland's only hit came when leading off the fifth inning on a slow roller up the middle by Lonnie Chisenhall that just eluded the slide of Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano and skidded into center field.

| So much is visible from the top deck at Wrigley Field: The hand-operated scoreboard, the rooftops, the ivy, and off in the distance, the blue of Lake Michigan. Wrigley Field turned 100 years old on April 23, its status as one of baseball's ultimate cathedrals secure. The park has undergone its share of changes over the years, though none have altered the feel too dramatically. Compared with other major-league parks, Wrigley Field still has a different vibe, a slower pace.

| Pete Rose stood behind the batting cage on June 16 joking as former major leaguer Joe Mather hit ball after ball to centerfield during batting practice for the Bridgeport Bluefish. The former batting great was back in his element, managing a baseball team, if just for a day. The 73-year-old, whose 4,256 hits are the most in major league history served as guest skipper for the Bluefish of the Independent Atlantic League. Rose said he was trying to show he could be a good ambassador for the game. "If I'm ever reinstated, I won't need a third chance," said Rose. "Believe me."

|Actor Colin Egglesfield wasn't in the classic baseball film "Field of Dreams." But if they built a screen in center field, he would come. When Egglesfield heard about plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie's release during Father's Day weekend in Iowa, he flew to Sioux Falls, picked up his dad and drove six hours to the farm where it was filmed. Egglesfield and his father reached rural Dyersville in time for a viewing of the movie with scores of others, including star Kevin Costner. That's when "Hey dad, you want to have a catch?" got them all, all over again. Broadcaster Bob Costas hosted a Q & A with the cast on Friday.

| A 101-year-old grandmother made history on Sunday, May 11, when she became the oldest Canadian to throw a ceremonial pitch at a professional game. Kitty Cohen didn't waste any time getting out to the mound. She tossed the ball over the plate efore the Blue Jays-Los Angeles game - and it looped over the plate to the catcher - a more impressive pitch than people 1/4 of her age have thrown before games. Cohen was chosen to throw the first pitch because she has participated in the Weekend to End Women's Cancers. She is pictured here preparing to throw the first pitch to Toronto catcher Josh Thole.

| Bob Welch, who won 211 major league games and whose 27 wins in 1990 have not been duplicated in the years since, died June 10 in Seal Beach, Calif. The former Dodgers and Oakland A's pitcher famously struck out Reggie Jackson as a 21-year-old rookie in Game 2 of the 1978 World Series. He was 57. The Dodgers stated the cause of death was a heart attack. Welch was a key member of the Dodgers' 1981 W.S. title team and division-winning teams of 1978, '83 and '85. He was an anchor on the Oakland A's teams that made three World Series (1988-90). Welch won the 1990 Cy Young Award with Oakland.

| Baseball is juicing up its anti-doping program, adding more and better drug tests, longer suspensions and, for the first time, post season ineligibility for anyone in violation of the rules. The changes come on the heels of 2013's biogenesis doping scandal, which showed players were using banned substances without fear of testing positive. The revamped rules, announced on March 28 by Major League Baseball and the players' union, are effective immediately. Commissioner Bud Selig expressed his appreciation to the players for being proactive and showing remarkable leadership in producing the new agreement.

| Josh Beckett grew up as a baseball star in the baseball hotbed of Texas, so good at his Houston-area high school that the Florida Marlins picked him in the 1999 draft. He played high school baseball, fall ball, and summer ball. Beckett almost never pitched. His father and coach wouldn't allow it. For those three months a year, Beckett played the outfield instead. Beckett is now 34 years old, closing in on 2,000 major league innings. At a time when it seems every pitcher has had Tommy John surgery once or twice, Beckett has so far avoided it. Doctors and trainers increasingly believe that overuse of teenage pitchers is behind the rise, and they have studies to prove it.

| Washington Nationals prospect Matt Purke landed on Dr. James Andrews' operating table on May 29, the latest pitcher to require Tommy John elbow surgery. Angels' reliever Sean Burnett tore his ulnar collateral ligament, the 21st major league pitcher to undergo the operation since spring training. Dr. Andrews, one of the leading authorities on the subject, has called the rash of these injuries an "epidemic." He issued a position statement to the American Sports Medicine Institute, offering suggestions on how to prevent them. The overriding message: Pitch less and avoid throwing past the point of fatigue.

| The Cincinnati Reds twice extended with their glove an extra-inning game May 19. Todd Frazier finally won it with his bat in the 15th inning, lifting the Reds over the Washington Nationals 4-3. Brandon Phillips singled off Ross Detwhiler to open the inning and, with one out, Frazier homered to center. Phillips dove to rob Wilson Ramos of a walk-off hit with a runner on third to end the 11th. Logan Ondrusek allowed an RBI single to Greg Dobbs in the bottom of the 15th before getting Danny Espinosa to fly out to deep right field to end the 4-hour, 58-minute game.

| A major change continues to occur in the game of baseball. A growing number of major league pitchers are using bigger and more traditional styles in winding up. They have switched from the no-wind-up delivery used by most pitchers the past couple of decades. Among the many big league hurlers using a traditional type of wind-up are Adam Wainwright, one of baseball's most dominant pitchers; Max Scherzer; Matt Moore; John Lackey; and Francisco Liriano. Featured in BPA's new edition are Don Weiskopf's sequence series photographs of five former pitching greats: Steve Carlton; Bob Gibson; Jack Morris; Billy Pierce; and Sonny Siebert.

| The baseball world got its first nine-inning look of the spring at Carlos Correa, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft. The Houston Astros' 19-year-old shortstop more than lived up to his billing, hitting two home runs, and making several sparkling defensive plays in a 7-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. "There's no age criteria on how good he can be," Astros' manager Bo Porter said. "He's a focused individual and one of the first ones to the ball park and the last one to leave. His attention to detail is mature for his age."

It was the third consecutive game that Bryant hit a go-ahead homer. A first-round pick by the Ckhicago Cubs last year, Bryant entered the season as the second-ranking prospect in the organization

| Unaware that he needed a triple to hit for the cycle, Mike Yastrzemski stopped at second base after hitting a ball to right field in the seventh inning on July 5. When he came up again leading off the ninth, the Orioles prospect had only one thing in mind upon making contact. Yastrzemski's drive nearly cleared the fence. As it bounced back onto the field, he hustled around the bases, his journey ending exactly where he hoped it would. The Keys outfielder managed the elusive triple, completing the 12th cycle in the Minor Leagues this season.

The 25-year-old right-hander struck out seven, walked one and hit a batter. Scarpetta took a perfect game into the sixth and faced two batters over the minimum through seven innings.

| Somewhere, surely there is a boy this summer with a baseball glove dangling from the handlebar of his bicycle, on his way to a hastily put together, loosely organized version of our national pastime. Somewhere the youngsters found an empty diamond and quickly picked teams and went at it under the mid-day sun, and into dusk. Someone brought a bat, someone brought a ball, and right field was out. They played for hours, until the light of day abandoned them. Surely this must go on, somewhere in America.

|Before Little league, before Pony League, before Babe Ruth League, on Janey Way in Sacramento, California, we had sandlot baseball. We began by playing catch on the street with rubberized baseballs, but that soon failed to satisfy our need for real competition. So we searched for a place to make a field. That was easy because almost exactly in the middle of Janey Way stood two adjacent empty lots. They made a perfect sandlot baseball field.

There was a lot of carefree time-wasting, but when it was time to get down to business, we knew what we needed to do.�

| The key to the revival of the sandlot baseball game are the thousands of public recreation and park agencies across the country. Children today do not play enough park and school playground baseball, and there is a long, overdue need to revive the concept and promote a nationwide movement. More opportunities to play baseball in parks and playgrounds need to be provided by local park and recreation departments and school districts. City playgrounds should be open longer and the necessary equipment provided. A major effort should be made to have local recreation and park agencies nationwide, coordinated by the National Recreation and Park Association, spearhead such a movement.

| The best way to get children to play more baseball on their own is to promote the return of pick-up games. The youth of America need to be taught how to organize pick-up games. In the Youth Baseball page, Don Weiskopf, publisher of Baseball Play America, explains the rules on how eleven favorite pick-up games are played. They include Work-up, Over the Line, Scrub, Catch a Fly and You�re Up, and a couple of Brent Mayne�s favorites, First to Ten and Play Catch.

It was a great turnout for the first event, with many parents excited about getting to say what they would like to see done.
"A lot of times ya know we complain a lot, but when you have a chance to be part of the solution then we should take every advantage of that that we can, to see what we can do to help with that situation, so it's good that they want our input too," said Phyllis Gosier, OPS Parent.
Five different languages were represented at the forum. OPS provided translators.
The next forums will be October 22nd from 6:00-8:30 p.m. at North Magnet High (4410 N. 36th St.), October 23rd from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at the TAC Board Room (3215 Cuming St.), October 23rd from 6:00-8:30 p.m. at South High Magnet School (4519 S. 24th St.), and October 24th from 6:00-8:30 p.m. at Burke High School (12200 Burke Blvd.).

Dinosaur fossil bed found in eastern Idaho
Experts say a dinosaur fossil bed in eastern Idaho containing some 200 specimens could be the most important such site in the state.
Retired paleontologist Steve Robison tells KIFI-TV in a story on Monday that he and L.J. Krumenacker have found four or five new species over the last year.
Robinson says three have been officially named.
Krumenacker is a doctoral student at Montana State University.
He says many of the fossils are from smaller dinosaurs but that's also what makes them so rare.
The paleontologists say the fossils are in what was once a river bed.
The two plan to continue searching for more fossils over the next several years.

The Film Noir Foundation's yearly festival Noir City returns to the historic Castro Theatre January 24 - February 2, 2014. The 12th edition of the world's most popular film noir festival is going international, exploding the long-held belief that noir stories and style are a specifically American phenomenon.
"Our desire to expand the scope of the festival has resulted in our most ambitious program ever," says festival impresario and host Eddie Muller. "Its overall impact will, I suspect, change many people's long-standing ethnocentric preconceptions about film noir."
Focusing on the years immediately following World War II, the festival features classic noir films from France, Mexico, Japan, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Norway, and Britain, as well as a complementary sampling of homegrown Hollywood flicks. The 27 films in the series will conclusively prove that the cinematic movement known as "Noir" spanned the globe, and its style, sexiness, and cynicism crossed all international borders. Check out the full schedule HERE!
Get your tickets now and know that you are supporting a great cause; the dollars you spend at the festival go towards the Film Noir Foundation's year-round restoration efforts.

Noir City once again offers the dark gift of film noir for the holidays!
The Film Noir Foundation, dedicated to preserving films in danger of being lost or irreparably damaged AND the organization behind the Noir City film festival, presents their fourth annual Noir City Xmas show on Wednesday, December 18th at San Francisco's Castro Theatre!
The double dose of Noir Noel will feature Allen Baron's landmark independent crime drama Blast of Silence (1961) followed by the ultra-rare genre-bending Christmas Eve (1947). Allen Baron will be in attendance to introduce his legendary cult classic, and at the intermission will be signing copies of his new book, Blast of Silence: A Memoir. The show will also feature the public release of the NOIR CITY 12 program schedule, the unveiling of the new NOIR CITY 12 poster, and holiday shopping for the noir-lover in your life. "Czar of Noir" Eddie Muller and the reigning Ms. NOIR CITY 2013, Audra Wolfmann, will host.
Both films will screen in 35mm, and as usual tickets for this exceptional event are only $10 for the double bill! Get your tickets HERE!
The Mrs. and I were fortunate enough to catch three of last week's showings, including the fantastic Saturday night tear jerker Chicago Calling. Unfortunately we'll be gone for the final week of the festival. Hopefully some of you will make it out as there are some stellar pictures being offered!
Wednesday brings the powerhouse all star combo of Cry of the City and The KIllers. The Cry cast includes Richard Conte, Victor Mature, Shelly Winters and most importantly Hope Emerson! KIllers stars Ava Gardner and Burt Lancaster at their most ravishing and William Conrad at his creepiest.
Thursday brings a pair of lesser knowns in Undercover Man and So Dark The Night. So Dark has quite a cult following and could prove to be a goodie.
The Native Son and No Way Out combo on Friday should be spectacular. No Way Out is a gritty, racially charged classic, featuring Sidney Poitier, Richard Widmark, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee and Harry Bellaver. The criminally underrated Bellaver, best known as Detective Frank Arcaro from the Naked City TV series, is great as the deaf/mute brother of Ray Biddle, Widmark's maniacal, psycho racist. Richard Widmark throws his whole self into character and really summons up some demonic forces in this film. Native Son is an Argentinian/French production based on the well known Richard Wright novel. Directed by Pierre Chenal of Le Dernier Tournant (1st adaption of Postman Always Rings Twice) fame, this is a very rare screening and is well worth the price of admission.
Wednesday, April 10th begins the second week of the 15th Annual Festival Of Film Noir at the Egyptian Theatre. Wednesday brings us a pair of Fritz Lang rarities in the gothic melodrama House By The River and Joan Bennett vehicle Secret Beyond The Door. The stunning Ms. Bennett was a Lang favorite, appearing in Woman In The Window and Scarlet Street. She had a long and varied career including notable roles as the headmistress of both Collinwood in the original Dark Shadows TV series and the boarding school in Dario Argento's Suspiria.
Thursday offers up a couple of not-on-DVD rarities in The Case Against Brooklyn and City Across The River. CIty is considered amongst the earliest film to deal with street gangs and juvenile delinquency and features a young Tony Curtis as well as familiar character faces in Stephen McNally, Jeff Corey, Anabel Shaw and Thelma Ritter.
Friday promises much in the double feature Street Of Chance and Night Has A Thousand Eyes, both based on Cornell Woolrich novels and boasting casts featuring Clare
Trevor, Burgess Meridith, Sheldon
Leonard and Edward G Robinson.
This Friday, April 5th, kicks off the 15th Annual Festival Of Film Noir at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Things get moving fast with a Cy Enfield double, Try And Get Me (aka The Sound Of Fury) and Hell Drivers. The Film Noir Foundation's newly restored print of Try And Get Me should be a stunner- not available on DVD, this is rare glimpse into Enfield's U.S. career which was prematurely derailed due to HUAC blacklisting bullshit. Hell Drivers is a Rank Organization picture featuring Irish beauty Peggy Cummins, best known for her roles in Gun Crazy and Night Of The Demon.
Saturday brings a great pair of Hollywood damage tales in Sunset Boulevard and The Other Woman. Needing no introduction, Sunset Boulevard's brilliance never seems to diminish, it's depiction of desperation and delusion seems applicable to every generation of former greats and their hangers on. The Other Woman features the criminally under rated Cleo Moore as a scheming second string actress who gets involved in a blackmail plot that goes awry. Those of you unfamiliar with Ms. Moore should check out the Bad Girls Of Film Noir, Vol 2 DVD set, we often have used copies for sale at the Hollywood Amoeba.

worst thing about this case is that the council decided to take the action in what should be a personal case, the council can't enter the case only the individual counsellors, or will the council pay for the legal action for anyone in their area who feels they've been libelled by twitter users?
The Counsellors should be required to pay the money back it cost to get the legal assistance.
Well said
It appears Mr Monkey may be on the right track after all.
I hope the Local Councils Ombudsman or somebody hits them hard for what is a criminal waste of Council funds. Gadaffi would be proud of these councillors.
Not for profit
"The Counsellors should be required to pay the money back it cost to get the legal assistance."...
and if they make any extra they should pay that, as well.
I don't get that?
They were slandered because of their position as councillors. Those working for us should be protected from lies and propaganda. I don't want someone telling me that someone who works for me is crap at their job, when in actual fact the opposite is true.
If the tweets were NOT libel I could see your point of view.
As it stands the council is bringing a case which I assume they are doing not just to name these twitter users but also to bring some form of compensation, which would go to the councils coffers based on the fact its their case and not a personal one. Loser pays.
To me you are just jumping on the tabloid bandwagon of any public spending is bad but jobs must be saved. How many nurses could this case have paid for?
Give us some details!
Did the California Court really issue an order, or did Twitter fold?
If so, on what legal basis of US &/or California Law did the Court honor the subpena request?
Tell us something important.
Libel is not protect speech
Presumably this is the same law that the State Supreme Courts have said did not the protect names of anon IP addresses posting to wikipedia to be revealed. The US 1st amendment does not hold for speech that is actionable as libellous.
In the US
You only have to demonstrate that you have a reasonable belief that that statement was true, as opposed to the UK position where you have to prove it.
The question still remains, on what legal grounds did the council challenge on?
The answer, my friend...
...is on page 65/66 (!) of the complaint which was linked to above: http://openaccess1.sanmateocourt.org/getpdf/pdftemp/201105281722593538/A-0000074796-1.pdf
The council is suing for libel, false light invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The court order requiring Twitter to provide the information isn't a finding that the council has proved the statements were libellous, an invasion of privacy etc. It's also not penalising Twitter in any way. It's just allowing them to find out who to sue. The council hasn't proven anything...there is still a long, hard, expensive litigation journey to go on yet...
This is why
you use a program like TOR with a throwaway twitter account for true anonymity
*REAL* user details?
Who signs up to twitter using real personal info*?
What do the council hope to do when these details come back?
NAME: Bob
SURNAME: Monkey
ADDRESS1: 99 Nostreet
ADDRESS2: Nowhereville
*Besides the foolish, that is.
Re: *REAL* user details?
People are upvoting that. I was hoping JakeyC might be a one off moron for not figuring out how to use the details but apparently not.
IP address?
It's these weird numbers tied to your ISP account.
Next step would be to hound the ISP to tell them who you are.
Safest thing to do when posting libel on Twitter would be to sign up in an internet cafe / library using false info and post your gossip from there, then never ever log into it on your home connection.
@Chris W, Wild Bill
"Under the order, plantiffs obtained the name, address, email address, telephone number and geographical location of the users behind the five Twitter accounts."
No IP addresses mentioned there.
Even so, an IP address ties your username to *AN* ISP account.
-1 for not understanding how the internet works.
Whos been using the wireless
AN ISP account doesn't prove anything or anyone. IP address can NOT be tied down to an individual becuase IP addresses can be spoofed, plus Wifi can be hacked -2 for you mate
Care to explain?
Care to expand on your learned assesment of my status as a 'moron'? No, really - I don't comprehend your point.
Twitter can release whatever they like, but false details in = false details out. Maybe you're just venting your spleen because you're kicking yourself for not having anonymised your own signup details?
Re: Whos been using the wireless
Ah, the wi-fi defence, and everybody uses bit-torrent only to download the latest linux distro.
le sigh
if you're smart and you do such things you use a heavily used public access point, so a starbucks in a city or an internet cafe, etc. Woohoo you get an ip address and a time but seen as it's civil how are you going to pin that down to a person?
Re: Care to explain?
>Care to expand on your learned assesment of my status
No, you wouldn't understand, and you won't find me on twitter, facebook, linkedin... Only here, see me anywhere else and it's an imposter.
Fair enough
You're right, I doubt you'd be able to articulate your explanation to a high enough level for me to understand it.
Probably for the best, as I'm going to go now and leave you to argue with yourself.
Remember people, arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics; even if you win, you're still retarded.

Great Fucking Use of Taxpayers' Hard Earned
Q: When did the US become extended to the UK for legal reasons?
A: Watch George Michael's video with Tony and Dubya and find out for yourself!
I was driving and heard this on the radio and practically lost the will to live. Now Who can I see to not pay my Council Tax in protest?
Can I just say
That the new spawn of satan icon looks remarkably like my girlfriends new handbag, should I worry?
Worry? No.
Only if you wear the wrong shoes with it.
£75,000 pissed up the wall, to start...
is another way of looking at it
Let's hope it smokes out the tosser(s)
Whilst I'm not convinced of the individual merit of this case (why is the council doing this and not the individuals?), I support anything that helps to route out spineless twats who use the web to attack others anonymously because they know they're peddling crap or breaking laws.
And I'm include in this those who named Giggs: what the fuck gives THEM the right to discuss someone else's private life with the rest of the world?
Let's turn that around...
What the fuck gives YOU the right to decide what other people can discuss?
I might be inclined to agree with the first bit of your post, if it wasn't all being paid for with taxpayers' cash.
It's a free country, well more or less, and people are entitled to gossip? Twitter is seen as simply seen as an online water-cooler, where people gather to gossip about mundane shite.
I have to agree that this will hopefully get things rolling against those who bully others through anonymous online accounts and services. How many stories must we hear about kids stringing themselves up because a bunch of scum think it's funny to bug them so much, these kids see suicide as the only solution?
@NogginTheNog (if that is indeed your real name....)
Not sure if you are trolling or just really stupid. I'll guess stupid, I think.
So, given that you have posted anonymously, are clearly a spineless twat and are using the web to attack others, you now are duty bound to route yourself out. Off you go, old chap - name, address, date of birth, mother's maiden name, bank account details and NI number should be good to start with.
First of all...
...you're right, the councillor's should have coughed up if they are that bothered. 50-75k would buy an awful lot of adult social care.
Second of all, you're wrong. You've conflated the libel with gagging orders that buy privacy for the rich.
And that's as far as I will go to pander to your attention seeking.
>What the fuck gives YOU the right to decide what other people can discuss?
You're missing the point, no-one is saying you can't discuss whatever you want but that you should not be allowed to freely spread unfounded rumours nor gossip just because you think you can. I'm not sure of the exact details of this case but if the libellous comments were made in regard to the execution of the councillours duties then it's quite right that the council pay the legal fees which should be recovered from the alleged libeller if found guilty.
So do I assume
that "NogginTheNog" is your birth name then?
I mean, why else would be posting anonymously to attack others?
Why not use my real name?
Erm well maybe that's because the Google monster indexes everything and never forgets, and I do prefer a bit of privacy, just like Giggsy. Hmmm how many others on here post using their real names..?
Why won't anyone think of ...
... the Streisand effect
Even if Twitter gave up the IP addresses surely they'd then have to petition each Internet Provider to do a log trace or whatever it is?
Then you have the old "wasn't me, and WTF is an IP address?" defense.
What a waste of time and money.
Technical Experts
The way they have hired technical experts to help them with this makes it sound like all they have to go on is an IP address. They will have to spend more money to subpoena the service providers now...
Legend has it that monkey hanging was done in...
... Hartlepool (not on Tyneside)
Expensive publicity
I saw this on the BBC news site, and was taken aback as South Tyneside is my council and it is my money they are wasting.
First thing I did was start googling to find the blogs and read them, as I am sure everyone else has, so it has just funded a massive publicity campaign for the blogs and the allegations and made them massively more public.
Regardless of whether the allegations are true or not, there is no way I would ever vote labour in my local elections again after reading them. I hope this all leads to a full invesigation, and people being brought to account over this and or the original allegations.
"Regardless of whether the allegations are true or not, there is no way I would ever vote labour in my local elections again after reading them"
And thus the justification for pursuing the action.
Don't they know...
...they should get the super injunction first so no one knows they are chucking the residents' money at lawyers.
sooo easy
There are a multitude of ways to remain annonymous, this is a complete waste of time.
@tomjol yeah I agree with you but you have to question the intelligence of a professional football player doing the following.
having am affair with a big brother wannabe who I seem to remember has already done the same with another footballer/
And trying to cover it up when all the papers knew about it, surely he must have realised that the game was up.
I think the whole thing has gotten silly but thats partly his fault, the whole thing should have been between his wife and him but in our pathetically celeb obsessed society it was never likely to be
Fixed that for you...
you have to question the intelligence of a professional football player.
There's a 3rd party here - the big brother wannabe. She chose to speak openly about the affair. As long as what she says is truthful and accurate then she should not be gagged by anyone else. Anything else is a denial of the right to free speech.
reports suggest it cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to secure.
Could do, certainly, if they went the traditional route and hired a big firm of lawyers in the UK who then subcontracted the job to some equally expensive lawyers in the USA.
OTOH, this kind of stuff can be done quite cheaply, if you download the forms, fill them out yourself and just hire somebody to take them to the court. For an uncontested subpoena (as this was) you're looking at a range of a few hundred dollars (to pay a local ambulance chaser to stand in front of a judge for 5 minutes) down to as little as $50 if it fits one of the "accelerated subpoena" classes that Federal law provides for (there's one for copyright infringement, for example) where all you need do is get a local private investigator to put it in front of a court clerk for stamping.
Of course, I doubt that the council even thought of going the cheaper route. So that's a second charge of wasting public funds on the charge sheet, then.
Also, since councils can't sue for defamation, and given that they're probably planning some "alternative" form of retribution rather than honestly intending to follow through with legal action in CA, there's the question of whether they made a bad faith declaration in their demands for a jury trial, etc. in California.
Incidentally, I also find fault with the way that they've set out several of the counts, in that they've been sloppy about where the act began and where it ended (they really only needed to show one of those was in CA, to establish jurisdiction) and proving harm to the defendants "in the state of California" would seem difficult since it's unlikely that any of them have a reputation there to be damaged.
And the paragraph numbering looks messed up.
Twitter he not?
I've never used Twitter before, but I went to Twitter and entered "Mr Monkey" in the search box, and couldn't find him, only references *to* him on other people's feeds. Am I missing something, or have I come to the party so late that he's been removed?
+1 simply for the title.
Who's the biggest Twit?
The twitterer ot the twits who try and fight against them?
I know politicians get no sympathy, but...
... perhaps they're simply being realistic. I know the blabbering sophisticates take the view that it's just idle gossip that does not harm, but when a statement like:
"Regardless of whether the allegations are true or not, there is no way I would ever vote labour in my local elections again after reading them."
is made on El Reg and thumbed-up by its readers, you do start to wonder if the universal franchise is not the cause of our declining standards of government.
I think you've taken his comments out of context. Maybe it's the criminal waste of taxpayer's money that's decided his future voting habits....
J.G. Harston - Twitter he not?
Google is your friend here - there are three blogs all hosted by wordpress and findable with the slightest bit off google-fu.
Makes for interesting reading.

While the Marines finished the last leg of their journey today, families worked together to give them a warm welcome home.
This morning many families spent time putting up signs and yellow ribbons for their loved ones.
From fence signs to smaller poster board signs, there were a lot of welcome messages in red, white, and blue ink and families say it is just one way they are recognizing the Marine's service.
"High they're ready to come home, aren't they? I think they're all ready to come home. They're excited. We're all bursting at the seams I think. We can't, I can't wait, and it's exciting," says Marine mom Beth Briskey.
Many of the Marines have been through this before this homecoming marks the end of their second tour in Iraq.

ISO "The Swiss Cookbook" by Nika Stand Hazelton - [Cheese] Fondue Recipe
- MMRuth Dec 30, 2009 10:49 AM
I bought this used book recently, and the fondue I made from it was the best I've ever made. I'm now at my mother's, and want to make fondue for New Year's Eve. I'll use another recipe that I have if need be, but if anyone has this book, and time, I'd sure appreciate a quick paraphrase.
Thank you, and Happy New Year!
re: MMRuth
I'm away visiting family as well, but returning home late tonight. If someone hasn't already done so by then, I'll post the recipe. Never tried it myself, I will have to do so, as a proper cheese fondue is one of my favorites.
Okay, I have no idea about your recipe, but in a google search, I found this charming story about the history of chocolate fondue (apparently invented in NYC at a restaurant called Chalet Suisse and documented by Nika Standen Hazelton). He also has a cheese fondue recipe from the restaurant, that sounds pretty good and has mucho vino in it.
I hope you find your recipe. Happy New Year!
EDIT: here's a better link to the cheese fondue recipe itself http://www.europeancuisines.com/Basic...
Here's the recipe for Classic Fondue (Fondue Neuchateloise):
Oh I can never resist a good Google challenge....
posted by Nicole Vecchi
re: Chris VR
I'll post back after I make it again tonight, but I believe I only used one cup of wine, maybe 12 oz.
re: MMRuth
"EuroCuisineLady" here -- I'm glad other folks were able to help you find the recipe in time to be of use to you. Hazelton is a super writer and was one of the few to get the basic Swiss recipes right. -- DD
FYI, I happened to make fondue last night, and the proportions on the classic fondue recipe on epicurious is pretty similar. 1-1/2 cups wine (I used champagne from NYE), 1 lb. cheese, cornstarch mixed with kirsch. I smashed a garlic clove and floated it in the wine and let the wine simmer. I didn't stir in a circle, though! It was perfect, even though I forgot the nutmeg.
re: cocktailhour
It's vaguely possible that the Epicurious recipe is an adaptation of Hazelton's. She was one of the earlier cookbook writers to describe it (the copyright on the 1st edition of THE SWISS COOKBOOK is 1967). Interestingly, she also thanks Hans Baertschi in the acknowledgements section of the book -- he was associated with the SNTO office in NY -- and the Baertschis were the original owners of Chalet Suisse, so it's also vaguely possible that her recipe was the one from the restaurant. (All speculation of course.)
You used champagne in fondue? Wow, extravagant. :) Don't forget the nutmeg next time, though: it really does make a difference.

Cook Time:
10 mins
0 mins
From www.TopSecretRecipes.com This recipe is a copy-cat of the wonderful avocado sauce served at El Pollo Loco restaurants. It is great with taquitos, chicken or shrimp quesadillas. Don't expect an extremely thick guacamole, this is a thinner salsa--the consistency of the sauce you usually get with taquitos. Also, the heat of fresh jalapenos varies greatly. If you like milder salsas, remove the seeds; if you like it hot, don't bother removing them.

The focus of Graduate Fashion Week is of course the wonderful work that these accomplished students present to the world, BUT, with their fashion nous comes some seriously good outfit spotting ops. Here were Style Hunter top four ladies from Earls Court…
Amina Jones-Roach has aced the new body-con balancing act. Her bright-white super-tight separates don't look OTT because of that super-size mannish vintage shirt she's thrown over the top. Two-strap heels and smart tote (both Zara) keep in line with sports-luxe's more modern edge.
Natasha Levy's very pretty vintage skirt doesn't need more than a white cropped tee and sleek black accessories (shoes: Zara, bag: Primark) to really shine. Everything simply revolves around that mega midi.
Natasha King looks like a modern day Jerry Hall with that slash of red lippy and wild blonde hair. Her styling (made with vintage finds) totally chimes with the Lady In (head-to-toe) Red that we've seen on the runways of Valentino and Michael Kors.
Eleanor Williams is the doyenne of dungaree coolness! It's easy to go down the overalls' utilitarian route, but instead this stylish lady has gone for quirk: her neon tied-waist jumper, crop top, snakeskin clutch, studded sandals and purple sunnies are a total clash-up, but her confidence pulls it together.

Most of the public think those who sit in the House of Lords and vote on laws should be elected, and 70 per cent of Christians believe it is wrong that some C of E Bishops are given automatic seats in parliament, an ICM poll shows.
A coalition that wants to 'change politics - for good' is "amazed" at the huge response to its initiative to get the public writing to C of E bishops asking them to back House of Lords Reform.
Democracy campaign Power2010, which is aiming to "change politics - for good", is achieving an extraordinary response to its online initiative encouraging C of E bishops to back Lords reform.
There are 26 Church of England bishops sitting in the House of Lords as of right. They have been there since the time of Henry VIII - a constitutional set-up that leaves us in the inglorious company of Iran... and very few others.
Almost everyone now sees the need for a reformed second chamber in parliament - where minorities can be properly represented, legislation decently scrutinised, and government held fairly in check.
Grassroots democracy campaign Power2010, members of the public and civil and faith groups, are urging Church of England bishops to work for a reformed and accountable Second Chamber.
The religion and society think-tank Ekklesia has today teamed up with democracy campaign Power2010 in an initiative to urge Church of England bishops to take a lead in reforming the House of Lords.
In a dramatic development, the House of Lords has voted to allow the use of religious premises and religious language in same-sex partnerships. Peers voted in favour of the proposal by 93 votes to 21, despite government opposition.

In Albuquerque, N.M., four Isotopes pitchers held the Zephyrs to six hits in an 8-0 blanking that gave Albuquerque three wins in the four-game series.
Jonathan Sanchez (4-1) earned the win with five scoreless innings, allowing three hits and five walks while striking out six. Sean White, Kelvin De La Cruz and Steve Smith completed the shutout. Scott Van Slyke and Rusty Ryal each hit three-run homers.
Doug Mathis (5-8) allowed five runs and nine hits in six innings for the Zephyrs.
What: Colorado Springs Sky Sox at Zephyrs.
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Zephyr Field.
Probable pitchers: Sky Sox RHP Chris Volstad (5-3, 4.91 ERA) vs. Zephyrs LHP Brad Hand (5-7, 3.64).
Broadcast: WMTI-FM, 106.1.
Promotion: It's Triple Play Taco Tuesday. Fans can get an upper-deck ticket, a taco and a soft drink for $10.
Hand last pitched for the Zephyrs on May 16 at Fresno. Before his next scheduled start May 21 at Sacramento, he injured an oblique while warming up, and that changed his season.
Hand was placed on the disabled list. When he came off, he reinjured his oblique before his start June 17 at Nashville, again warming up.
He again was put on the DL, and on July 19 he was sent to the Gulf Coast League Marlins for a rehab assignment, where he turned in two strong starts.
Hand started the season impressively: In five appearances, he allowed an earned run once — at Round Rock on April 20, when he gave up six runs in 4.2 innings. After pitching six shutout innings at Oklahoma City on April 25, he was called up to the Miami Marlins. In 1.2 innings against the New York Mets, he didn't allow a run but was sent back to New Orleans the next day.
The Marlins called up reliever Steven Ames from the Zephyrs, and right-hander Scott McGough was assigned to New Orleans from Double-A Jacksonville.
Ames came to the Zephyrs from Albuquerque with Josh Wall in the July 6 trade when the Marlins sent Ricky Nolasco to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Infielder Chris Valaika was outrighted to the Zephyrs on Sunday. He had been on a rehab assignment.
The Zephyrs' Brian Flynn was named Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week. Flynn (4-10, 3.14 ERA) threw 14.2 scoreless innings in two starts last week. ... The Zephyrs are offering discounted tickets for Friday's game against the Sky Sox, who feature St. Amant native Reid Brignac. Call (504) 734-5155 ext. 296 and mention the Reid Brignac offer to receive lower-level seats for $7 or upper-level seats for $5. The discount is open to all fans in the Greater Baton Rouge area.

As the Northern hemisphere prepares for the arrival of autumn, many of us feel the impact of the season in many ways. With it come environmental changes: leaves falling, shorter days, cooler weather and that melancholic undertone that even affects the sky. Let us battle "autumn blues" with good food and eating it with pleasure. Sounds like a win-win situation, right?
Together with decorating your home with elements that may help to stay positive and happy, like candles and aromatherapy gadgets, food can also be helpful for relaxing by keeping your senses busy in such ways that you will not have time to feel depressed at all. There is plenty of literature about depression-fighting foods or serotonin-boosting tips. Low serotonin, a chemical found in the brain that affects our happiness, may be one of the reasons, but not the only one. Eating for pleasure and doing it with happiness may be another way to avoid feeling down.

Since apples are being harvested, I thought it would be appropriate to use this delicious, memory-making, yummy-pie filling fruit to boost our moods and to introduce the season. I happen to love fall: the smells, the colors, the visual earthiness of it. Thus, apples are just too good to pass. Here are two recipes you should plan on making as soon as possible at home. Share the happiness with some friends and when eating them, do not think of the calories. Food should never be eaten with guilt. It defeats the purpose of being grateful to have food in our lives. Spreading the calories among friends lets us have the best, with little pain. Please take pictures and share them with me: firstname.lastname@example.com.
