Boot Manager/10.1
PC-BSD® supports a feature of ZFS known as multiple boot environments (BEs). With multiple boot environments, the process of updating software becomes a low-risk operation as you can backup your current boot environment before upgrading or making software updates to your system. If needed, you also have the option of booting into a backup boot environment. For example:
- if you are making software changes to a boot environment, you can take a snapshot of that environment at any stage during the modifications.
- you can save multiple boot environments on your system and perform various updates on each of them as needed. You can install, test, and update different software packages on each.
- you can mount a boot environment in order to chroot into the mount point and update specific packages on the mounted environment.
- you can move a boot environment to another machine, physical or virtual, in order to check hardware support.
Managing Boot Environments Using Boot Manager
To create and manage boot environments using a graphical interface, go to Control Panel ➜ Boot Manager or type pc-su pc-bootconfig. You will be prompted to enter your password.
During installation, PC-BSD® creates a boot environment named default. As seen in Figure 8.4a, an entry for this boot environment will be displayed in the Boot Manager screen.
Anything outside of the default dataset will not be included in the boot environment. To ensure that the files that the operating system needs are included when the system boots, all boot environments include /usr, /usr/local, and /var. User-specific data is not included in the boot environment. This means that /usr/home, /usr/jails, /var/log, /var/tmp, and /var/audit will not change, regardless of which boot environment is selected at system boot.
From top to bottom, the icons on the far left are used to:
Create: a new boot environment. You should do this before making any changes to the system that may impact on your current boot environment. You will be prompted for a name which can only contain letters or numbers. Once you click OK, the system will create the environment, then add it to the list of boot environments.
Remove: will delete the highlighted boot environment. You can not delete the boot environment which has a Running status of Yes as that is the current boot environment.
Copy: creates a copy of an existing boot environment.
Rename: used to rename the highlighted boot environment. The name is what appears in the boot menu when the system boots. You cannot rename the BE you are currently booted into and an error message will occur if you try to do so.
Activate: tells the system to boot into the highlighted boot environment at next system boot. The Default will change to Yes, but the Running will remain the same. In other words, Running refers to the boot environment the system last booted into (is currently running from) whereas Default indicates which boot environment the system will boot into at next system boot.
This screen also lets you set the "Maximum auto-generated boot environments". The default is 5 and the range is from 1 to 10. PC-BSD® automatically creates a boot environment before updating any software and the operating system as well as before applying a system update. Once the configured maximum number of boot environments is reached, PC-BSD® will automatically prune (delete) the oldest automatically created boot environment. However, it will not delete any boot environments you create manually.
If you create any boot environments, a boot menu similar to the one seen in Figure 8.4b will appear for two seconds during system boot. The menu contains the names of the boot environments and the date each was created. If you don't make a selection, the system will automatically boot into either the last "Running" boot environment or, if you have activated another boot environment, the environment that was set as the "Default".
To customize this menu, click the "Grub Configuration" tab to see the screen seen in Figure 8.4c.
The fields in this screen are used to configure the:
- Theme File: used to customize the look of the GRUB menu. The theme file format is described in this section of the GRUB Manual[1]. The GRUB 2 Theme Reference[2] provides additional information.
- Font File: before a font can be used in the GRUB menu, it must first be converted to .pf2 format using the grub-mkfont(1) command.
- Timer: sets the delay time for accessing the GRUB menu. By default it is 2 seconds, so if you find that the time to access the menu goes by too quickly, increase this timer. If you would like the graphical PC-BSD® bootloader menu to be displayed during boot, check the box "Show Timer Countdown".
- Custom Entries: if you have an existing GRUB configuration that you would like to add to the menu, cut and paste it into the box. Refer to the GRUB Manual[3] for more information on creating a custom GRUB configuration.
If you make any changes in this tab, the two buttons below "Settings" or "Custom Entries" will be activated. Use them to save your changes or to re-load the GRUB configuration. If you forget to do so, a pop-up message will remind you that you have unsaved changes when you exit Boot Manager. If you do not save the changes using these buttons, the boot menu will remain the same.
TIP: the "Emergency Services" menu can be used to "Rebuild GRUB Menu" or to "Restore GRUB Defaults". If you make any changes to /boot/loader.conf, remember to use the "Rebuild GRUB Menu" so that GRUB is aware of the changes to this file.
Managing Boot Environments From the Command Line
If you are running TrueOS® or prefer to use the command line, you can manage boot environments using the beadm command as the superuser. For example, this command creates a boot environment named beforeupgrade:
To view all boot environments, use the list command:
The possible flags in the "Active" field are as follows:
- R: active on reboot
- N: active now
- -: inactive
In this example, the current boot environment is called default, it is active now, will be used at next reboot, and it is mounted. The newly created beforeupgrade boot environment exists, but is inactive and unmounted. To activate the new boot environment:
The flags now indicate that the system is currently booted into default, but at next boot the system will boot into beforeupgrade.
The boot menu configuration can be found in the ASCII text file /usr/local/etc/default/grub:

Cobb, Samardzija face off in series opener
Pitchers enter game with recent records of success
With David Price shipped off to the Tigers before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, Monday night will represent the first time Alex Cobb takes the hill as Tampa Bay's ace.
Cobb will oppose Jeff Samardzija and the Athletics at O.co Coliseum, as he looks to build upon a string of dominant starts. The 26-year-old right-hander is 3-0 with a 1.31 ERA and 24 strikeouts over his last three outings.
"The last couple of games, Cobber's been about as good as he can be," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "That changeup, right now, is pretty spectacular."
Cobb battled a strained left oblique earlier this season that affected his performance. But he's put any lingering injury concerns aside with his recent play.
"He started off [the season] so well," said Maddon. "The injury came back. He's been finding his way. Now, all of a sudden, he's found his way. Missing him and Matt Moore and what they're able to do for a long period of time, we had to fight through that moment, also. How many wins are in there that we didn't get? I don't know, but I think there were some wins that we didn't get. But, right now, I think Cobber is throwing the ball as good as I've seen him."
"I feel comfortable with my mechanics now," Cobb said. "Every time you go out, 90 percent of the battle is against yourself. Obviously, when you're going up against a really good hitting team like Oakland, you have to make sure that you're extra sharp. [You] have to mentally go along with the game as long as you can, try not to make any dumb mistakes out there -- repeating pitches to the same guy multiple times, or whatever the case may be. You can't get to that point without being comfortable on the mound first."
Samardzija, meanwhile, has been mostly lights out since arriving in Oakland, posting a 3.19 ERA in five starts with the Athletics. After holding the Astros to a run over eight innings on July 24, Samardzija allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings in Houston in his last outing. It wasn't his best effort, but the right-hander kept his team in the game.
"I'm not happy how I pitched," said Samardzija, who failed to go seven innings for the first time with the A's. "It was 1-1. I had a chance to keep it there, and I didn't. "Every pitch and every run is important. But I did keep our offense to where they were in striking distance."
A's: Crisp nearing return
More than a week has passed since outfielder Coco Crisp has appeared in a game, but there are signs he may finally be close to a return.
Melvin said Sunday morning that Crisp was going to hit in the batting cage.
"Usually when he gets on the field or in the cage and starts doing some baseball activity, he tends to respond pretty quickly, so fingers crossed that's the case," said Melvin.
Because of Crisp's progress, the A's have refrained from putting him on the disabled list. But Crisp has missed seven consecutive games because of ongoing neck issues, a detriment to the bench as much as it is to the lineup.
His absence, coupled with Craig Gentry's unavailability, is a big reason why the A's reeled back in Sam Fuld via trade on Thursday. Fuld entered play Sunday 2-for-11 in the leadoff spot since his return.
Rays: K kings
The Rays' pitching staff only needs 18 more strikeouts to reach 1,000 for the season. If it manages to do so by the end of Tuesday night's game in Oakland, it will become the quickest in Major League history to reach 1,000. The 2013 Tigers reached 1,000 strikeouts in their 114th game.
Rays pitchers are on pace for 1,439 strikeouts, which would break the Major League record held by the '13 Tigers (1,428). The Rays club record of 1,383 was set in 2012, which ranks fifth in Major League history.
Worth noting
• According to Mark Simon of ESPN.com, since yielding an infield single to Oakland's Nick Punto on May 20, Brad Boxberger has owned lefties -- who are 0-for-40 with 22 strikeouts and five walks.
• A's right fielder Josh Reddick broke up a James Shields' no-hit bid with a solo home run in the sixth inning on Sunday. The A's haven't been no-hit since July 13, 1991.

Buehrle can keep turning back clock vs. Astros
Coming off gem, Blue Jays vet takes on fellow lefty Oberholtzer
Mark Buehrle will look to continue bucking his own personal trend of early season woes when he takes the mound at Rogers Centre tonight against the Astros.
The Blue Jays left-hander has traditionally struggled in the early going of regular-season play. Prior to the gem he threw in his 2014 debut against the Rays, Buehrle had a 4.32 career ERA in March and April, the highest of any other months. Last season, Buehrle allowed at least five runs in five of his first seven starts, and by May 6, he had an ERA of 7.02.
But in last Wednesday's win over the Rays, the durable, 14-year veteran was in the zone through his 8 2/3 innings, racking up 11 strikeouts and allowing only four hits to build off his solid 2.93 Spring Training ERA.
"He was really good; he might have found the fountain of youth," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said in a half-joking manner. "He said all Spring Training long that he's felt the best he has felt in a long, long time."
Buehrle's 11 strikeouts marked just the second time in his career he's reached double digits in that category. He's reached 12 strikeouts only once, in an April 16, 2005, game against the Mariners. Buehrle was 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA in two starts against Houston last season. He threw his only complete game of 2013 against the Astros on July 25 in a 4-0 shutout.
The Astros will counter with Brett Oberholtzer, who was dealt a loss by the Yankees in his first outing this season, allowing three runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander was 4-5 with a 2.76 ERA through 13 appearances in 2013, his first Major League season.
"I threw the ball really well my first game. Obviously, I would like to go a little deeper," Oberholtzer said. "You want to have success and pitch well and ultimately get the win to help your team,"
Astros: Castro goes deep in return
Jason Castro made an impact in his return to the lineup on Sunday, lifting a two-run homer off Angels starter Jered Weaver in Houston's 7-4 win. Castro had missed the previous two games with a bruised right foot.
The All-Star catcher's ankle was still wrapped on Sunday, but he was happy the injury wasn't more severe. Castro was the designated hitter against the Angels on Monday.
"It could have been worse possibly, but I'm just thankful it wasn't and it's just a pretty bad bruise and some soreness," Castro said. "There's nothing wrong with it. You just have to get over that hump, and I think we're pretty much there."
The injury occurred last Thursday, when Castro was squarely hit by a pitch. He said he doesn't plan to wear extra padding to protect the foot.
"I don't really plan on getting hit on the front of the foot again," Castro said. "I don't think what I have would have really done much anyway, so I'll just wear the normal shin guards I wear for the inside of my ankle and try to get out of the way."
Blue Jays: Club struggling offensively
Timely hitting will be key to Blue Jays' success moving forward. The team is battling just .196 (9-for-46) with runners in scoring position through seven games. On top of that, heading into Tuesday's series opener, Toronto has yet to score more than four runs in a game.
It's a problem that will be solved once a few bats heat up, Gibbons said following the team's 6-4 loss to the Yankees on Sunday afternoon at Rogers Centre.
"We've got a few guys in our lineup that are cold right now," said Gibbons. "We've won a few games, gotten some pretty good pitching, so I'm optimistic [wins will come] once they get going. It shouldn't be that far off. Too many of them have proven themselves in the past."
Shortstop Ryan Goins, center fielder Colby Rasmus and third baseman Brett Lawrie are among the Blue Jays' slumping hitters. Goins isn't expected to produce show-stopping numbers at the plate, but he's a dismal 1-for-16 to start the season. Lawrie is 2-for-21, and Rasmus is 2-for-22 through seven games.
Worth noting
• Drew Hutchison's loss in Sunday's game was the first of his career at Rogers Centre. The 23-year-old Blue Jays righty was 3-0 in five games on home turf heading into the contest.
• Melky Cabrera's Sunday was full of threes. The Blue Jays outfielder hit his third home run of the season, marking the first time in his career he has homered in three consecutive games. It was also the third leadoff home run of his career.
• Twelve of the Blue Jays' 22 runs this season have come via the home run. Conversely, the fourth-inning home run by Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner off Hutchison was the first surrendered by a Toronto starter this season, a span of 36 1/3 innings. It was just the second home run given up by the team all season.
• The Astros are off to a slow start at the plate this year, hitting .191 as a team through seven games. Nearly a quarter of their hits (10 of 41) have been home runs and they have nearly as many extra-base hits (20) as they do singles (21).
Robbie Grossman is in an 0-for-18 slump; Marc Krauss is an 0-for-13 slump. Jose Altuve is 0-for-9.

When did he say that?
This is kind of old: http://games.slashdot.org/comments.p...1&cid=20671657
Rage doesn't even have a release date yet, and this is quote is about two years old, so I don't know.There is certainly no plans for a commercially supported linux version of Rage, but there will very likely be a linux executable made available. It isn't running at the moment, but we have had it compiled in the past. Running on additional platforms usually provides some code quality advantages, and it really only takes one interested programmer to make it happen.
The PC version is still OpenGL, but it is possible that could change before release. The actual API code is not very large, and the vertex / fragment code can be easily translated between cg/hlsl/glsl as necessary. I am going to at least consider OpenGL 3.0 as a target, if Nvidia, ATI, and Intel all have decent support. There really won't be any performance difference between GL 2.0 / GL 3.0 / D3D, so the api decision will be based on secondary factors, of which inertia is one.

Been dabbling with beer more lately than I ever have. Had some Mother Earth Sin-Tax last night, really enjoy that stuff.
Been dabbling with beer more lately than I ever have. Had some Mother Earth Sin-Tax last night, really enjoy that stuff.
Sean, you shouldn't be surprised that an Indiana beer does well with the fruit. Hoosiers have always flocked to the sweet stuff whether it's wine or brandy or beer or mead. Only recently have the craft wineries started to put out decent dry reds and whites.
They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games-Casey Stengel
This is sweet to be sure, but plenty tart due to the awesome raspberry flavor, and has a nice dry, oak finish. Only thing missing is a bit more of that barnyard funk. Regardless, good on ya Hoosiers!
Very nice! So how was that?
Picked up some local crafts today, Franconia Wheat and Martin House Rubberneck Red, the latter because I've been a rabid Toadies fan for the past 20 years. The beer might not be up my alley (it sounds hoppy, which I'm not a huge fan of), but I had to get a four-pack.

What do you think of the
Smith Parallel Polarized Sunglasses
? Share a...
Scott Primm
Best Yet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These shades easily trump the Rudy Projects I've been using for quite a few years. The optics are extremely clear and clean. They're lightweight and fit my smaller face nicely. Having additional lenses is a definite bonus. I was considering the Oakley Half Jacket at the time of purchase, but I feel the Smith's provide a much greater bang for the buck. Believe someone else has stated this before, but the greatest measure of cycling shades is when you truly forget you're even wearing them. These definitely fall into that category. I've found myself (out of habit) attempting to push them back up my nose, but they have yet to move a millimeter.
Good Buy
Lightweight, good fit, interchangeable lenses are easy to remove from the frames. I'm happy with them so far. They grip my head better than an old pair of polarized Oakley's I used to own.
Randall Edwards
For Medium Faces
I must admit, I have never disliked a Smith product. The optics are among the best, and the warranty can't be beat. That said - I got these lenses through a warranty of an old pair, from which that the polarized covering had de-laminated.
On to the shades -- they're pretty lightweight, and they don't move around on my face. I don't know if the included lenses (clear and rose) will get much play, but they could be good if I'm biking at night. These are good for an all around pair of sport glasses that will stay on your head and block the sun, while providing an excellent field of view.
Meredith Richards
Weird fit
I have a hard time finding sunglasses that work for me, but these were not good at all! They fit crooked on my face, hit my forehead and seemed poor quality. I returned them.
josh jackson
smith sunglasses
these sunglassses work very well for keeping debris out of the eye while biking and are very versital for fishing, hiking,skiing, etc. polarized is a bonus.

Completed the 'look'!
By maggie
from newmarket, ontario
I purchased this bolero in 'Ruby' to match the slipdress, and as I wrote in the review of that dress,I was very pleased with the overall look of the whole outfit. It's very flattering even for a fullfigured woman such as myself, with a vintage '40's flair. I can't wait for an opportunity to wear it!
By MADMAX
from MONTREAL
Most comfortable - I wear size 10 and got the Medium. Material is of good quality and sits well. It's a great deal for this price. You won't find better elsewhere.

looks worn
By FRAN
from STONEWALL
This is the first time I bought an item from Liz Lange and was disappointed at how the colours are faded making it look like it has been washed and worn for decades! I have clothes from other lines at the TSC (Kim & Co, Mr. Max, etc.) that I have had for years and the colours have stayed crisp. Therefore I decided not to buy the red one next and not sure if I would buy anything else from this line. I do like the weight of this bolero and is great addition for cooler weather.
Goes great with matching dress
By Savy Saver
from Alberta
This is a great way to finish off the matching Printed Lace Drape Front Slip Dress! It will extend the wearability of this dress by keeping the chill of the shoulders. I would have also purchased a plain black bolero if it had been an available colour choice.

Regions :: Eastern Europe European Commission proceeds with plan to restrict the use of neonicotinoids11:50 AM MDT | April 29, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft The European Commission, following a vote by EU member states today, will proceed with a plan to restrict the use of three neonicotinoids used as insecticides on a variety of crops, including sunflowers, corn, and canola. The restriction will be in place for two years. Neonicotinoids in pesticides are believed to be harmful to honeybees. Neonicotinoids are nicotine-like chemicals that act on the nervous system. The compounds are clothianidin and imidachloprid, each produced by Bayer CropScience; and the Syngenta product thiametoxam. Some restrictions are already...

Can you pastebin your xorg log and dmesg output ?
Last week , i found a post in http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=239467, which told you how to enable 3D acceleration through installing the latest Open Source ATI drivers.So i follow it step by step as bellow:
1. Download kernel *.deb from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/ then install .
2. Restart the computer , select the 2.6.32 entry in the grub menu, then edit /etc/source.list , add the follow two line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
3. Install
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x4f191a5a8844c542
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
4. Restart.
After that , i enter the follow comand to test:
~ > glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV620 95C4) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
so why direct rendering is no? Does it mean 3D acceleration has not been enabled?
how to solve it ? I didn't install any other ati drivers .
notebook: Thinkpad T400 , ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 , Ubuntu 9.10 ,Kernel: 2.6.32-020632-generic
~ > lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series
Can you pastebin your xorg log and dmesg output ?
>direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)
that answers all questions.
You have disabled direct rendering. Most likely you are running some window manager that requires LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT to be set, and spawned a terminal from that window manager.
If you run a terminal from your gnome menu, does glxinfo report direct rendering? Your renderer string is correct, so I'm willing to bet that everything is fine.
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT forces all rendering to be indirect which is why you are seeing "direct rendering: No". Unset that env var, and you should get direct rendering. Note that you can still get hw acceleration with indirect rendering; indirect just means the 3d commands are sent to the xserver via GLX and then from the xserver to the 3D driver rather than send to directly to the 3D driver.
Sorry, the log file is too long to paste in the post , i paste here
# /var/log/Xorg.0.log
# dmseg
The log is too long to paste here ><
Ah..... That's right...
When i open the terminal form the menu , the result is :
~ > glxinfo|grep render
IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 0
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV620 95C4) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
but if i open a terminal with keyborad shortcuts, that is , "win+T"
the result is "no" again ..
also i use conky ? this affects?

Manchester Alderman Levasseur files lawsuit to block release of his email records
Levasseur, who is also an attorney, filed the suit in Hillsborough County Superior Court on Tuesday. He also personally delivered copies to the city solicitor's office and to the home of radio host Rich Girard, the defendants in the suit.
Girard, who has publicly feuded with Levasseur, maintained that his right-to-know requests pertained specifically to a prior request from the New Hampshire Union Leader for the aldermen's email correspondence with city departments and, more recently, for communication regarding the Manchester Dog Park.
Last week, Levasseur was formally censured by his fellow aldermen following an investigation by the state attorney general that concluded he made unfounded allegations of intimidation and misconduct against the Manchester Police Department.
"My wife said Joe Levasseur was on the front porch, which she wasn't terribly comfortable about," he said. "I find it interesting that the fellow complaining about intimidation shows up at my home unannounced."
"If the court ends up siding with the city, constituents will at least realize that they have to be careful what they say," Levasseur said. "How we act as a body and how the city acts are definitely something to be open to the public, but I don't think somebody should just be able to ask for 30,000 emails."
Girard had received two electronic files of information late last week from the city. According to Levasseur's suit, additional documents were to be released Tuesday.
In the suit, Levasseur noted that Chapter 91-A, commonly known as the right-to-know law, defined governmental records as "information created, accepted, or obtained by, or on behalf of, any public body, or a quorum or majority thereof" — not by a single elected official.
"A communication between a member and a non-member of the public body does not involve any kind of deliberation between members of the public body, so it cannot be said that disclosure is necessary to keep the public apprised about discussions that are occurring behind the scenes," Johnston wrote in the article.
Johnston said in an interview Tuesday that the concerns he raised were reflected in the language of the 2008 law, including the definition of a government record.
In an email last week to Levasseur, Arnold maintained that email that goes through city servers would be presumed to be public.
Girard said he hasn't had a chance to review the records he has received so far, but he said he had no intention of keeping any relevant information under wraps.

Written by janice headley | Filed under Janet Hamlin, events | 24 Oct 2013 9:13 AM |
On Wednesday, November 13th at 6:00 PM, the NYU School of Law presents a special panel: (Un)covering Guantanamo: Reporting On Some of the World's Most Controversial Trials.
The Center for Human Rights and Global Justice and the ACLU are delighted to bring together a panel of speakers with unparalleled experience depicting and reporting on the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, and the military commission trials taking place there.
Included on this panel are Janet Hamlin, artist behind Sketching Guantanamo: Court Sketches of the Military Tribunals, 2006-2013, and Carol Rosenberg, who wrote the foreword for the book.
This distinguished group of journalists will address the challenges and opportunities of covering the most important terrorism trials of our time at an off-shore military base, discuss long-standing allegations of censorship and excessive secrecy, and consider the extent to which the United States government has succeeded (or not) in managing the public image of Guantanamo and the military commissions. They will also discuss the fates and stories of the detainees they have covered.

Of Angels Losses, Angels Wins, Good Food, Better Wine and Really High Socks
Thursday's game. Angels vs. A's. Our usual attempts to get to the ballpark at a decent hour actually worked this time and we arrived in time to catch the tail end of warm ups.
And in time to catch Erick Aybar's Gold Glove Award ceremony…Murphy's Law being what it is, of course this meant he was good for at least one colossal error this game and Murphy, sadly as usual, did not disappoint. Oh well, it was still neat to watch him get the award, especially on the day the Angels very smartly locked him up for four more years! Whoo hoo!
Before the game begins, the unlit halo looms expectantly over the stadium. Sadly, the halo would remain unlit for another evening.
Heading down the 57 for the game, I told my husband that I had a good feeling about this game, that I was sure the Angels were due for a win and that we would get to see Albert Pujols' first Angels home run…personally, I don't think I was so much wrong as just a game or two early. See, I don't claim clairvoyance, I just see patterns and the Angels patterns say improvement to me.
Indeed, the Angels were improved over the previous evening, though still unvictorious and then this evening, they were even further improved – though we still seriously need to work on those LOBsters – and they won!!
Obviously, it's more fun to be at a game where the Angels win, than one where they lose, but as much as I was annoyed with mistakes that simply didn't have to be, we still had a fine evening at the ballpark – because isn't an evening at that the ballpark better than an evening just about anywhere else? And the A's fan gents behind us were a kick and a half. Be it at the Big A or the coliseum the opposing fans I tend to have the most fun with are A's fans. I hope you enjoyed your trip, boys, and that we were as nice to you as your fellows were to us on our trip to Oakland last season – and the A's fans were pretty darned nice hosts.
Honestly, one game is only one game so my greatest regret about the Angels losing this specific one game is the high socks. Note:
Yes, exactly, they all wore high socks to change their luck…well, except C.J. and the other pitchers. If the Angels had won this game, you know the high socks would be here to stay, and I do appreciate the neater, more professional look of the old school uniform.
Speaking of C.J., part of the impetus of my going online to find the $10 club section tickets for this game was the thought that I wanted to see Mr. Wilson's home debut in an Angels uniform. Well, Mr. Wilson, as you have probably seen on Quick Pitch, SportsCenter or the like had some good innings and some not so good innings and one pretty bad inning – not his usual performance at all, though typical of the times the Angels did beat him. Hit C.J. early and he gets a little flustered. Still it was nice to help welcome him to the Big A properly and if his first two appearances and all of the times I've watched him kick Angels behind in a Rangers uniform are any indication, I expect pretty good things.
You could see the bullpen well from our seats. They look so normal and harmless, don't they? Well, by and large they are, or rather their harm is helpfully directed at the opposition. As for the rest of time, well, to paraphrase Wednesday, homicidal maniacs look like everybody else, don't they?
Still, they were more than acceptable on Thursday and pretty darned good on Friday and I so want to see a pattern there!
Friday evening's game further confirms the pattern I thought I was seeing earlier – improvement. Yes, there are still a few issues, but I think that if we can just find a lineup, or even one lineup for groundball pitchers and one lineup for flyball pitchers, and that/those lineup(s) make sense, and we stick with it/them long enough for guys to get comfortable, we'll really see something here.
And speaking of a return to consistency, after way, way too many day games, the Friday Night Ritual is back – that's right Friday Gourmet, Wine and Angels. This evening I made a spinach, tomato and mushroom paella with grilled Argentinean chorizo (it's closer to a heavily paprika-ed Italian sausage than the chorizo you may be used to). It was everything the Friday night ritual should be – a delicious and gourmet seeming but budget conscious meal to enjoy with the game plus leftovers for the rest of the weekend. We paired it with a yummy (totally a technical/industry term ;) ) Paso wine – Clavo's Collusion, a Cabernet, Malbec and Petite Verdot blend. Yum! Perhas the return of the Friday night ritual added a little luck? Okay, probably not. But that doesn't make it any less tasty.
And if there seems to be a certain, um, disjointedness to this post, a, shall we say, joie de vin…well…there's a reason for that. Did you not read about the ritual? It's Friday!! The Halo is lit and so am I! Happy weekend everyone!

I think this is an excellent tradition to venerate. much good food and good wine.

I've always stated that the high socks are the way to go. It just looks more traditional, in my opinion, and when i played it seemed easier to run. You're right about a night at the ballpark being better than anywhere else, win or lose, and Trumbo is a beast at the plate. Enjoy the wine!!!
The high socks were half back today, so who knows. Thanks Mike!

Nice pics, Kristen. Looks like the Angels are starting to come out of their early season slump. Good luck….but not TOO much!
Starting and stopping but hopefully starting again, OSF. Thank you! I might wish your Rangers the same. ;)

Those high socks really got me! I tuned in for AP's first AB on Friday and saw he had his socks up high and I assumed he had really lost his mind and was trying some superstitious crazy. I then called all my friends and soon we were all yappin' about it and then someone realized a bunch of Halos had their socks up high, which made it less interesting. But STILL!
It was quite a site to see Jeff, and especially funny because most of them don't have the right pants for it. I didn't notice until I looked at my pics the next day, but everyone except Bourjos has long pants rolled and stuffed into socks and other silly improvisations going on there…though I am more amused at the idea that a portion of the Cardinals' nation tuned into the game just to gawk at Albert in high socks…though I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing were roles reversed. :)

Great shots!

Earthquake hits Plumas County
Feather Publishing
An earthquake has rattled a remote area of Plumas County according to the Associated Press, but authorities say there are no reports of damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says a quake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.8 hit around 12:09 p.m. Sunday about two miles southwest of the community of Cromberg, or about 40 miles south of Susanville.
A dispatcher with the Plumas County Sheriff's Department says the department had not received any calls for service. The quake comes after four quakes ranging from magnitude 3.5 to 2.5 hit between late Friday and early Sunday in nearby Shasta County.
All of those quakes were centered about 30 miles east of Redding. No damage was reported in those quakes. A geophysicist with the U.S.G.S says it is too early to tell if the earthquakes were related.

On his journey to become the Ultimate Hero, Peter Parker has handled tough challenges. From learning to team up with fellow super heroes (including the Avengers!), to fighting baddies from across the Marvel Universe, to remembering to pick up groceries for Aunt May, Spidey thought he had things all webbed up. Now, his world's been turned upside down as his teammates become roommates and they're left to face foes without the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. But when iconic Marvel villains like the Lizard, Kraven, Electro, the Rhino and Doc Ock team up to take on the young heroes, it's time for Spidey to discover the "great responsibility" of being a leader in Season 2 of Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man.
