Aren't you glad you know?
I did a crazy thing this morning. I rolled out of bed, took off my clothes, and got in the shower.
To say that E is in a mommy phase right now is accurate, but it is also entirely inadequate. Her whole life has been a mommy phase. Yesterday and the day before she woke up in angry tears, yelling at me from her room: I'm SAD! Because I woke up by mySELF! Mama! I wanted you to SNUGGLE! ME! for WAY! KING! UP!
I know I don't have a ton of empirical evidence, but I'd venture to guess most kids don't wake up screaming every day.
This morning the door burst open and my warm, steamy air cocoon flew away. I wanted to shower with you! Mama! She was stripping as aggressively as she was crying.
It's been seven months since we've showered together, since she rediscovered her love of baths, but the protocol has remained unchanged. Except she's bigger. And the walls haven't moved, as far as I could tell this morning. But they did get colder, since it's now the end of December. Empirical evidence, see? I do have some. My naked 6:30am back pressed against the ceramic tiles: very, very empirical.
Because we don't stand when we share
How to Share a Floor-Sitting Shower with your
1) Say goodbye to that warm air. She never closes the door all the way once she opens it, because she still has trouble with engaged doorknobs. So she might mostly close the door, but all the lovely warm shower-dew particles that had been lovingly cloaking you in comfort have a contest fleeing to that door crack. The last few do take the extra moment to get in formation, materialize as a semi-solid hand, and wave gleefully goodbye in your direction before they dissipate for adventures unknown. You swear you hear faint cackling as the first tendril of cold winds around your ankles.
2) Take it down, Mama! Every so often you curse the previous homeowners a bit (peach living room? With salmon high-gloss trim?) but you never knew that their choice of shower heads would be so high on the List of Cursing Reasons. We have shower heads on hoses. So, I can deliver the Water Point of Egress down into the eager hands of my floor-sprawled daughter. At this point, note: You Will Never Be Warm Again. She doesn't really bother to waste any of that water on you. Prepare to beg.
3) It's too hot! See above, anyway.
4) Turn it to the soft! Translation: adjust the water pressure to the least pressurized flow. This will make it take only 300% longer to wash away the many thousands of bubbles that your companion is about to generate.
5) Assemble your mise en place: gather the White Chocolate, the Milk Chocolate AND the Dark Chocolate body shampoos from the Philosophy trio you purchased so long ago, back when your kid was having all-encompassing water phobias and you desperately thought chocolate toiletries would possibly, just maybe be more compelling than Staying Dry At All Costs. Refrain, or try at least, from contemplating your not-wet but not-clothed goosebumps and remembering water phobias as the good old days. Gather also her hair shampoo, which is not the body shampoo even though Philosophy body shampoo can be used quite nicely on her hair, and also any incidental toiletries (by definition: cleansing products you might recklessly desire to spend time using on yourself).
6) Open, one at a time and only as requested, the various Chocolates, taking note the difference between Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate even though you don't have your contacts in and they look very similar. Pour some into beguiling outstretched palms, and direct her to rub it all over [pick the next body part now] or [pick one of your body parts now]. And then, literally: Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
7) Exfoliate. It's all you really have before you right now, anyway. It doesn't take direct water and the vigorous scrubbing keeps your circulation going. I use a delicious scrub made from the shelled husks of cocoa beans; it's nicely scratchy and its aroma further heightens the building desire for graham crackers and marshmallows. And the accompanying wool campfire blanket.
8) When your Little Mermaid leaves the floor and climbs her naked body into your naked lap, it's hair time. Enjoy this time because her shampoo runoff will land directly on your body, and being in the path of a room-temperature soapstream is better than shivering unwetted for yet more moments of precious mother-daughter bonding.
8a) Be a little jostly with the shampooing and rinsing, because Angelic One will squirm from the residual exfoliating scrub on your skin, and in the name of protecting her sensitive and delicate nature you will be able, albeit briefly, to aim first-use water directly upon yourself. Mama! You still have crunchies on your skin! And they hurt me! OUUUCH! "Ooh, sorry, hon. Let me just rinse the rest of that off. I didn't even know it was still on me!" If you don't get caught, you might even briefly be able to raise the water temperature.
The above was a PSA sponsored by the "Where My Tushie Folds Doesn't Like HOT WATER! (MAMA!)" Indignation Bearers of America.
9) Be prepared. This is not just for Boy Scouts but for you, too, because any moment now she will declare I'm Done! and jump out of the shower and then (and only then) begin complaining about how cold she is and could you give me a burrito, please?
But first:
10) Take 14 seconds to do all of the things you actually went into the shower for, like wash your face and hair.
And then.
Remember that there just might be a day that her mommy phase ends, but your heart will be enriched with all those memories of naked shower shampoo snuggles to get you through the not-mommy-phase years.
At that, because of all that exfoliating, you will be starting 2009 with the smoothest legs in all the land.

The US report cites a lax safety culture, weak industry standards for safeguarding equipment, and a regulatory system that often emphasizes activities over outcomes.
All comments are subject to editorial review. All fields are compulsory.
Scott Terrell 02.22.2014
This statement .."The refinery process safety culture required proof of danger rather than proof of effective safety implementation," is more prevaent throughout the oil and gas and refnery industry than you will ever know. We as contractors are continually put through the test to prove an operation unsafe instead of being shown how safe an operation is. This is proof of a culture that desperately needs to be changed.
Youyu Lu 02.21.2014
Sadly, in many cases, inspectors just do inspection for th esake of inspection without fully understanding th eindication of inspection. It's also important to let technical people make technical decision. When I gave margins to prevent HTHA, I was always chanlenged by some people. I am glad I insisted doing this.
R Ramkumar 02.10.2014
I fully Support Mr Barry Snider 's comment Better Knowledge, Skills, utilisation of expeieneced inspectors and Supervson is the solution to avert major incidents/ accidents in Refinery . HPI has ample years of data and Knowledge , know how It is only the attidue/ determination required to make use of such abandontly available resources to avert accidents

The lesson learnt here is that we should now incorporate inherently safer Technology into our old and new plant designs to limit incidental fires in our refineries.

Can Hydrocarbon Processing publish an article about High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA). Thanks. More power.
Barry Snider 02.01.2014
Mr. Moure-Eraso does not know of what he speaks, especially in regard to the Richmond incident. The pipe that leaked and eventually ruptured was known to be defective as there were reports of this from the inspectors on siteAs for the Tesoro incident, I am nearly certain the hazards around the naphtha heat exchanger were also known. More rules and regulations will not make the industry safer. There are more regulations in place now than ever yet the number of incidents is either steady or increasing. Better knowledge, skills, experience, and supervision will make the industry safer, not more rules and regs. As for safety case, a technique that is only as good as the people applying it and enforcing it. Same with PHA and PSM.As for t

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I've just discovered a highly critical security vulnerability of Yahoo! HK BLOG and Yahoo! 360plus (for Vietnam), which allows any user to inject external javascript file to be executed on his own blog page. Whenever a Yahoo! user visits the blog, his cookie information can be immediately stolen using Cross Site Scripting technique, then used for different purposes depending on the hacker's own target, some of which can be:
- Injecting the same exploiting script on the victim's blog page to compromise other Yahoo! user accounts when they visit his blog. This can automatically generate an extremely powerful botnet throughout the whole blog community.
- Deface the victim's blog page.
- Use phishing technique to get Yahoo! users type in their password.
- Steal the victim's personal information from other Yahoo! services like Yahoo! Mail.
- Target popular blogs with high traffic and create massive DDoS attacks towards other systems.
The hacking process can be absolutely transparent and requires no further interaction from visitors. I've successfully created the PoC (Proof of Concept) which works perfectly with the most popular browsers including Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 6 and 7 fully patched. Since Yahoo! 360plus has the same source code base with Yahoo! HK Blog, the same issue exists on both of the products. Personal information and private documents of every Yahoo! user are put at high risk.
Until this moment, details of the vulnerability are kept privately by myself. Once again, I'm more than willing to help Yahoo! Security Team with all required information in order to fix the issue as soon as possible. I suggest both parties go for the RFPolicy v2.0 (http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/policy.html), which have some important points I want to emphasize on:
1. Yahoo! Security continuously update me about the fixing progress until the issue is fully resolved.
2. Upon completion of the fix, a news article or an official blog entry from Yahoo! is posted:
- Notify Yahoo! users about the vulnerability and the fix.
- Include the credit for discovery of the issue
3. I reserve the rights to disclose this vulnerability to the public should Yahoo! fails to contact me after 5 days from now.
Thank you for sending this to Yahoo!. It will be sent to the correct teams to investigate and if a fix is required, we will contact you and ask you see the issue as resolved as well.
We ask that you send over steps to reproduce the issues you are seeing as well as the URLs of the pages you see it on.
Yahoo! Security Contact
Thanks for the reply. However, please focus on the points I've clearly stated. If once again (this should be the second time to me, and probably hundredth to other security community members), Yahoo! ignores giving credit information for discovery of the issues to the researchers in return for the help of reporting critical security vulnerabilities, I will not give any further details. In such case, I prefer to disclose the information to the public instead. Please give me the final answer on that by May 25.

I hope you're happy.
(We are.)
Back when you were a baby (you know, yesterday), you were really a very sweet baby. I've already told the world the story of your birth, which sounds so misleading, doesn't it? The days leading up to your birth were crazy, but your birth itself was easy, and then you were here. That's how you are -- your addition into our family has made our lives crazy, but you yourself are really a calm
We had a little birthday party for you today. You didn't really care. You were really more interested in your bagel than your cake, and that's typical you: bagel first, everything else second.
Robot cake, because his sisters wanted to make robot cake pops. |
One minute after cake. Exact moment of rubbing frosting in eyelashes. One minute before sugar freak. |
You and your bright eyes and your squeezy thighs and your rubbable belly and your gap-toothed grin and your head-throwing giggle and your never-the-same-twice hair: you are a delicious joy. A very heavy joy, a scrumptious, drooly delight.
You talk with your fingertips as much as your syllables, touching them to each other as you reach for the stars or for me. You are curious and very strong and obdurate. You are also sweet and charming. And teething. Always with the teething, you are.
Not caring at all about the contents, G shredded wrapping paper with vigor. |
You're ready to be a toddler; you've been ready. You look like a one-year-old and you destroy order and cleanliness like a one-year-old. You know how to empty the blocks bin or the book basket. You will rip every diaper out of a new package and fling them about like oversized confetti. You will, when you want to let me know that you're not ready for sleep, climb out of my lap and straddle the arm of the rocking chair and slide to the carpet. Then you'll pull the heating grate out of the floor and the night light out of the socket. And then you'll clap for yourself.
You have a touch of the mischief, you know.
There's just a spot of baby left in you, and it's in when you finally do begin to fall asleep. Then you 'll nestle tight against my skin and you'll rev like an engine. You're bleeding the line, I think, until every last bit of energy is expended. You've done this for months, even, I dare say, for most of your lifetime, and it's a quirk that's unique in our family to you. You just can't let go until you're finished, and if there's even a drop of go-go-go-go left in you, you send it out through a rumbling sound.
I'll miss it, once your voicebox realizes you're no longer a baby.
But there are great adventures ahead of you. You're going to walk fluently this year, and maybe run. You're going to learn more words and reach higher things and move to a bigger kids' classroom. You're going to learn to sleep on a cot and drink from a straw. You're going to drink milk!
And oh, the other glories available to you now: you can have scrambled eggs. Yolk and everything. And fear not the botulism any longer: you're old enough for honey, and I think I'll put some in your oatmeal tomorrow.
You're going to interact more with your sisters and try so many new things. At some point this year, we'll even turn your car seat around to forward facing, and won't that be a revelation. But the honey, G, that might be a highlight -- there's nothing better than oatmeal with honey.
There's just only one way to explain this to you:
toddlerhood is so badass, and you're going to be so good at it.
I love you all the way to the stars,

Sometimes I parent E as an abuse victim. This child, this spirited creature, this passionate heartfelt body-flinging girl I call my Crazy Monkey, she keeps me on my guard. Her joys are so joyous and the inverse is that her upsets are so despairing, so loudly despairing. I plan like a battered woman. I see worst-case scenarios; triggers to avoid; I plan Plan Bs and I plan distractions and I anticipate potential reactions not just like a mom who has her daughter's feelings in mind but like a woman afraid of what feelings will be unleashed upon her.
Yes, she's an open powder keg but I don't give her enough credit.
This weekend we had two invitations to play at a pool. I thought my my E who screams if water touches her face; my E who never left the kiddie pool when we were on vacation earlier in the month; my E whose screams can leave my ears ringing. I didn't accept either invitation until after I discussed them with E.
Her response: Well, I'll go. But I'm NOT getting in the big pool. I'm staying in the kiddie pool and my friends can play with me there or I'm not playing with them.
And so, with some trepidation and dread in my heart and with briberous new pool floatie toys in my car, we went.
The child double-floatied but then, with that extra piece of armor, she spent 3.5 hours in water where she couldn't touch bottom. And she didn't want my hands on her. And she never stuck her face in, but she laughed and she giggled and she splashed. And she repeated that feat today.
The other child? The one I never worried about in water? She never actually got wet. Yesterday L spent the entire afternoon eating the contents of two families' food coolers. And today, she wrestled with her friend and terrorized a dog and again, ate her weight.
But my Crazy Monkey: I told her and I told her and I told her again how proud I was of her courage and willingness to jump in where toes wouldn't help her. And she just said, like it was that simple: Well, yesterday I decided to be a really good swimmer.
Maybe that's it. Maybe it's that simple. She's full of surprises, that kid. And when she doesn't fill me with terror, she fills me with wonder.

Lauren Michelle Jauregui is the definition of perfection. She has eyes that make your chocolate melt even in the middle of winter and a smile that makes you die just by looking at it. Lauren girls often have some of the most intense "feels" as Lauren posts alarmingly attractive selfies on a regular basis and flaunts what she's got like it's her business. Not to mention, her voice is strong like a lion yet smooth like a baby's ass and as soothing as a bowl of weed after a long day. Lauren will sass anyone anywhere, and her sass is commonly attributed to her father Michael Jauregui, who makes sure that the fandom is kept in check with his "Really?" tweets and his recreational use of the block button. Overall, Lauren is a baddass girl who does what she wants and doesn't put up with any bullshit, and she is a boss onstage and off.
Who's that girl from Fifth Harmony who screamed "Holy shit" when they made it to the finals on The X Factor?
Oh, that's Lauren Jauregui, the baddest bitch in town!

Rocky Raccoon 100
I am wearing a dress and brushing my hair right now. Just so everybody knows because I thought I was irredeemably dirt-covered and would have to be a mud-ball for the rest of my life after the race on Saturday. Oh, look. It's the dirty girl in class. She fell too many times in mud puddles one day and never recovered. Worst nightmare.
The first 3 miles, the pack started out very quickly, so I settled into my own rhythm and finished the final 97 miles, at which point I left because I was done.
That's the summary.
Caution: Wet floor
Race morning, my crew and I awoke to torrential rains and thunderstorms that would continue on and off all day. It was an oddity to find myself on a starting line next to so many people I didn't know, but I have never raced in Texas. I found a spot next to great friend, Montrail's Jill Perry, and we were off, headlamps catching the sheets of rain to form illuminative sheaths at every step. Lightning turned the sky pink. I told approximately 40 people that I was overwhelmed by the beauty. Within thirty seconds of the start, I was offered a hearty greeting from Liza Howard. We were both fairly loquacious for the early morning. (Dear Coffee, thanks for making me more extroverted beyond my organic capacities. All the introverts of the world are nodding, silently.) And we exchanged introductions. Liza moved forward, and Jill and I had a chance to catch up between miles 15 and 35.
That first lap, we picked our way through mud pits and over roots, tripping often and enjoying our time on the trails. I say "we" because early in the day, it's still a shared endeavor. You're just running with friends. Later, it becomes a lonely pursuit, around the time when you hurt the most and need friends. I did have a pacer, though. His name was Michael Bublé, and when he sang, "I've had my run, and baby I'm done, I've got to go home," I totally understood, probably in a more robust sense than Michael did because he meant it metaphorically. Then I dropped my ipod in a mud puddle and said goodbye to my running partner.
Starting the run, I realized my legs didn't have the same zip that they typically do entering a run. I felt sort of lethargic and wondered if I had lifted too deep into my taper. I decided to just hang on and enjoy myself for the first 60 miles, not letting Liza slip too far out of sight. At 60 miles, I assumed, everyone else would feel similarly poor, and there would be 40 miles of racing. I didn't think a PR was possible, but I did show up to compete and would try to do that.
We ran, and we ran. I tripped a lot. I found a turtle. I looked for alligators because maybe Texas has them. People ran by and yelled, "Looking good!" I assumed they meant metaphysically because............................

......I didn't look like a part-time model, at least on the surface.
As the day went on, the presence of the 640 runners re-running the same wet loop made erosion a reality. There was one particular incline, where you would run up and slide back down so the net sum of your efforts was zero. It was like Sisyphus. I wished we had been pushing boulders up the hill to make it more real like in the story, but alas, we didn't get that opportunity. I like when the things I've read for homework become real life.
Sixty miles happened, and I thought that was really great because everybody else would feel bad like me then. At 61 miles, I took the lead...and held it for the rest of the day, uncontested. I later found out that several top runners had dropped, but at the time, I didn't know and still assumed I had a target on my back. Thus commenced 39 miles of paranoia. I ran conservatively and held onto an energy reserve in case someone should arise to challenge me. It was not a fast day, but sometimes, winning an ultramarathon is about survival and monitoring the forest for alligators and dropping Michael Bublé into a mud puddle.
The aid stations were marked by Texan hospitality, and volunteers did everything they could to make our experience enjoyable. I also had a fantastic crew. It was their first ultramarathon experience, but they were the most attentive, efficient crew I have ever had. Thank you so much, Littles, for everything.
Maybe you've never considered running 100 miles in Texas. I think you will after you see this:
GIANT STATUE OF SAM HOUSTON. It's right alongside the highway. I am never leaving because I love Texas.
The best part of everything is that my feet are not swollen or battered by the weather. Often, I go buy new loafers after 100-milers, not because of any intrinsic connection between the two but because it always happens to be about the time when I need new loafers. I buy them too big because my feet are swollen, so then all of my loafers are half a size too big. But not this time. Thanks, DryMax and Inov-8. I've got normal feet.
So pretty. I like your hair.

I'm so proud of u Sabrina. Congratulations!! You r always my favorite runner in any race. I love you!!!

Way to go Sabrina! Very proud of your win. Mucho congratulations.
Vicki (vhtrc) This really sums up ultramarathoning for me:
" ... early in the day, it's still a shared endeavor. You're just running with friends. Later, it becomes a lonely pursuit, around the time when you hurt the most and need friends."
Congrats on a good race strategy. So proud of you! And those are some of the best "not looking good" photos I've seen.
Finally, as always, I learned something new from your blog. That Sisyphus was a scoundrel, wasn't he? I'm now ever-so-slightly less discouraged about election year politics.

Tales from the pit
One moment you write good things on the computer and the next moment, the manager bans you. Believe me, I have experience. I got banned when I wrote a topic on my South Park account on July 17. I asked a question that did not exist. That's what banned me. I have autism. I have always had a learning disbility. Do you think you will have some compassion for me? Being banned sucks. I just need to get rid of this "disease" and hope I don't end up going on "vacation" from the computer. I don't want to get banned for the rest of my life. Looking at your banishment on the computer will haunt you for the rest of your life. So I hope I write something nice in the near future. So I'll cross my fingers and hope I don't annihilate anyone with copyright infringement or security breach, or vice versa.

Sensor Modeling for an Electrical Capacitance Tomography System Applied to Oil Industry
Flores, N., Gamio, J.C., Ortiz-Alemán, C., Damián, E.Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo, México, D.F., México
Multiphase flow characterization is an important task for monitoring, measuring or controlling industrial processes. This can be done by means of process tomography. One category of process tomography, is electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), where the cross section to be imaged is surrounded by a set of capacitance electrodes formed from simple metal plates.
This paper presents the development process for modeling an ECT sensor using FEMLAB with MATLAB and the Electromagnetics Module. Generated and measured values are presented for empty and full-with-oil situations. Also, some synthetic examples are shown.

Not only my hair looks gorgeous, shiny and lustrous, it actually feels healthier (I dont see the ends breaking or splitting anymore).

NRG Energy and SunPower announced the first 22 MW of its California Valley Solar Ranch entered the grid from its site in San Luis Obispo County. Electricity from the project is contracted by state utility Pacific Gas and Electric for 25 years.
PG&E Senior Vice President Fong Wan said the project helped balance the state's energy portfolio.
"This project will play an important role in our efforts to meet California's 33 percent renewable portfolio standard and make progress toward a clean energy future for all Californians," he said in a statement.
The entire project is expected to be online by the end of the year. Once fully operational, it would provide enough solar power to meet the annual energy demands of 100,000 homes.
Last week, U.S. Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar announced the government established a preliminary set of 17 solar energy zones in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.
The program sets up a blueprint for utility-scale solar power projects in western United States. The Interior Department said as much as 23,700 MW of solar energy could be developed on the sites.

Cincinnati Reds 2015 News and Updates
5/4/15 - Sitting right smack in the middle of a super-competitive NL Central division, the Cincinnati Reds picked up a big win on Tuesday night to climb back to .500 on the season. The Reds clobbered the Pirates with a final score of 7-1 behind a rejuvenated Marlon Byrd, who shook off his recent hitting slump to drive in four runs with a double and a two-run homer. Rookie right-hander Michael Lorenzen allowed just one run in six-plus innings pitched to buoy Cincinnati, who will look to win one or two more at Pittsburgh this week. Tickets are available now right PNC Park and you can be a part of the action live in person! Be there for Wednesday night's contest starting at just $3 or come out for the closer on Thursday with tickets starting at $16.
4/30/15 - The Cincinnati Reds almost had a shutout going in Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves, but Atlanta picked up one run in the bottom of the ninth. Pitcher Mike Leake picked up his first win of the 2015 Season. With a 5-1 final score, the Reds took the opening game of a four-game series. The Reds are out on the road in the upcoming week, with weekday games in Pittsburgh against the Pirates, then they are onto Chicago for weekend games against the White Sox. Grab your tickets now to get seats at fantastic prices for the games at the Great American Ball Park when the Reds host the Atlanta Braves. Tickets for the opening game on Monday (5/11) start at $3 so that you can bring the whole crew.

4/21/15 - The Cincinnati Reds' right fielder Jay Bruce and third baseman Todd Frazier each had a grand slam in a rare high scoring game against the Brewers. The final score of 16-10 gave the Reds a two-game winning streak. Shortstop Zack Cozart homered twice and first baseman Joey Votto brought one home in for the Reds. On Friday, the Reds start a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs at the Great American Ball Park. Get tickets for the game on Friday starting at $10. There are still plenty of great seats available for the Saturday and Sunday afternoon games. The Reds don't get any time off before the Milwaukee Brewers come to town on Monday for three games on the Reds' home turf. Come on down to the ballpark to support your team.
4/15/15 - The Cincinnati Reds have a 5-4 record after almost two weeks in the 2015 MLB Season. Just this week, they reorganized their roster, adding catcher Kyle Skipworth and pitcher Josh Smith. Two players, Daniel Corcino and Ryan Dennick were designated for assignment, and two more, Raisel Iglesias and Chris Dominguez were optioned to AAA Louisville. Skipworth's time on the roster might be short-lived if Devin Mesoraco's hip turns out to be fine after an MRI. In the upcoming week, the Reds are out on the road. Over the weekend, they're in St. Louis, then on Monday (4/20), it's onto Milwaukee for a four-game series against the Brewers. On Friday (4/24), the Reds come back to the Great American Ball Park for three games against the Chicago Cubs. Don't wait to get your tickets, starting at $5.
4/7/15 - With a late rally – a three-run homer from Todd Frazier in the bottom of the eighth inning – the Cincinnati Reds kicked off their 2015 campaign the right way, defeating Pittsburgh 5-2. Starter Johnny Cueto tossed seven innings of shutout baseball along the way, striking out 10 Pirates before yielding to the bullpen.
3/31/15 - It used to be a holiday in the city and the traditional first game of the Major League Baseball season. The latter tradition has passed; but Opening Day, just a few days away for the Cincinnati Reds, is still a special day in the city of Cincinnati.
3/24/15 - Ace Johnny Cueto has left Cincinnati Reds camp in Arizona, in order to assist a family member back in the Dominican Republic. While the team didn't mention who the family member was, the Reds have slated Cueto to be their Opening Day starter on April 6 at Great American Ball Park; in the interim, he's missed a pair of Arizona starts for the Reds.
3/19/15 - In Wednesday's game, the Cincinnati Reds couldn't hold back the Chicago White Sox. Reds' pitcher Jason Marquis just wasn't as sharp as he has been, giving up four runs, five hits, and three walks in five innings. The final score was 9-4, and the Reds' two game winning streak was snapped. Over the weekend, you can catch the Reds at their home field during spring training as they host the Oakland Athletics on Sunday (3/22). Tickets start at $16. On Wednesday (3/25), the Texas Rangers come to the Goodyear Ballpark. Get the best seats starting at $19. Wrap up your busy workweek with a Friday evening game against the Milwaukee Brewers. With tickets just $16 and up, you can bring the family and friends and unwind with a beer and hot dog watching America's pastime.
3/9/15 - So far so good for the Cincinnati Reds. Jason Marquis, in camp on a minor-league contract, has looked extremely sharp through his first two starts, striking out six and allowing just a pair of walks in five innings pitched, while stars Johnny Cueto and Aroldis Chapman have shown no signs of rust. Joey Votto also made his first appearance of the spring recently, garnering a hit in two at-bats.
3/3/15 - That sound you hear is the timeless crack of hardwood meeting cowhide, as the Cincinnati Reds walloped their Cleveland campmates, 10-0, in the first Spring Training game for both clubs. Conspicuously absent for the Reds was slugger Joey Votto, who missed 100 games last season; the club does not have a date set for his spring debut.
2/23/15 - With the 2015 season quickly approaching, all eyes are on Joey Votto. The first baseman was the MVP in 2010 when he batted .324 and got 37 home runs, but he strained a muscle in his leg last season and missed more than 100 games, unable to return for the rest of the season. More than any other player, Votto's performance could dictate the Reds' performance and fans' excitement. With spring training starting this week, it looks like Votto is playing strong and all are getting excited to see him in action once again. The first game of the preseason on March 3rd will be your first chance to see if Votto really is back in the game to lead Cincinnati to victory. Tickets are still available for as little as $19.
2/5/15 - Are you ready for the MLB 2015 season? Because it is right around the corner. First, the Cincinnati Reds will begin their preseason on March 3rd taking on the Cleveland Indians. Tickets for that game start at only $13. The Reds will feature 16 home games through March and the beginning of April, so you have plenty of opportunities to catch them live very inexpensively. Then, on April 6th, Cincinnati has their home opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. You can kick off the 2015 season by attending the first game for $101. If you cannot make it, they will be having a rematch just a few days later. Tickets are available for that game for only $3, so there is no reason not to go and cheer your team to victory.
2014 Season
9/29/14 - It was the final highlight for the Cincinnati Reds, in a season that lacked many, as Johnny Cueto spoiled Pittsburgh's bid for a Central Division title en route to his 20th victory of the season. Cueto finished the season with 20 wins (second in the National League) against nine losses, a 2.25 ERA and 0.96 WHIP (each also second in the NL), and a league leading 242 strikeouts in 243 2/3 innings. He also finished third in the NL in complete games with four. Offensively, it was the Todd Frazier Show on the banks of the Ohio; Frazier's batting average of .273, OBP of .336, 163 hits, 29 homers, and 80 RBI were all team-leading totals; despite not having enough plate appearances, catcher Devin Mesoraco had the team's top slugging percentage and OPS (.534 and .893, in 384 at bats).
9/22/14 - "It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart." So wrote former Yale University president and Major League Baseball commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti of the game that "stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." And so it goes for the Cincinnati Reds, who enter the final week of the 2014 season in fourth place in the National League Central, 15 games in arrears of St. Louis, the division leader (and presumptive champion). The final six games will feature the Reds facing off against Milwaukee and Pittsburgh, who are battling down the wire to claim one (or both) of the NL's wild card berths. One bright spot for the Reds is that Johnny Cueto, currently 18-9, is projected to have two more shots at the coveted 20-win plateau.
9/15/14 - If nothing else, the Cincinnati Reds have a chance to play spoiler to some Central Division team. Last week, the Reds took three out of four from division leading St. Louis, with the wins going to Mike Leake (his 11th, evening his record), "Big Pasta" Alfredo Simon (his 14th), and Cy Young candidate Johnny Cueto (his 18th, which tied him at that moment with the Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw for the league lead). However, following that, the Reds dropped two of three over the weekend to Milwaukee, with rookie David Holmberg picking up his first big-league win of his career. Another rookie, Daniel Corcino, drew a no-decision in his first start, the series opener with the Brewers last weekend.
9/8/14 - While division rivals Pittsburgh and St. Louis jockey for postseason position ahead of them, the Cincinnati Reds find themselves counting the days until the end of the season, all the while falling back towards the bottom of the division, just 3 ½ games ahead of the current cellar-dwelling Chicago Cubs. The Reds are one win and five losses into September, the lone win coming while ace Johnny Cueto collected his 17th win in a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets. Cueto has been the lone highlight in a very disappointing Reds season, first in the National League in wins and innings pitched, second in strikeouts, earned-run average, WHIP (walks plus hits divided by innings pitched), and complete games. He will be looking for win no. 18 later this week against St. Louis at Great American Ball Park.
9/3/14 - Opening the month on the road in Baltimore, the Cincinnati Reds start the month of September with six games against non-divisional rivals; after the three-game set with the American League East leading Orioles, the Reds face the New York Mets back home in Cincy before a visit from new National League Central leaders St. Louis, who have overtaken Milwaukee by a game as the stretch drive begins in earnest. After four games with the Cardinals, the Reds will embark on a nine game road swing to Milwaukee, Chicago, and St. Louis before closing out the season at home against Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.
8/25/14 - After breaking a four game losing streak with a pair of weekend wins over Atlanta, the Cincinnati Reds need to start making a move now if they want to make the National League postseason, with just six games remaining against non-Central Division opponents (at Baltimore, and at home against the New York Mets). The Reds have six games to make up in the wild-card race, two games back of Miami and 4 ½ behind Pittsburgh, their nearest Central rival. With Brandon Phillips' return to the Reds lineup last week, key cog Joey Votto remains on the disabled list; he is eligible to come off the 60-day list on September 4, but still has not resumed what the club calls "baseball activities."
8/19/14 - Bad news and good news for the Cincinnati Reds as they start a series with division rival St. Louis. The bad news: Starting pitcher (and innings eater) Homer Bailey was put on the 15-day disabled list over the weekend with a strained right elbow. The good news: Starting second baseman Brandon Phillips was activated off the DL and started the Reds' first game against the Cardinals on Monday. Phillips had been put on the disabled list back in July with a torn ligament in his thumb. He's wearing a brace on the thumb but collected two hits in his last rehab game. More good news: Third baseman Todd Frazier was also back in the lineup after missing three games.
8/11/14 - After taking three of four in a home-and-home series with Cleveland, the Cincinnati Reds dropped two of three to visiting Miami, claiming just Sunday's game on the power of a pair of longballs by catcher Devin Mesoraco. The Reds, currently five games back and in fourth in the Central, are struggling to make up any ground against the three teams in front of them, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh, who are clustered within 2 ½ games of each other. Longtime rivals Pittsburgh currently hold the second National League wild-card slot, and the Reds are just 2 ½ games back, but with San Francisco and Atlanta in front. The Reds will face off against Boston in a pair of midweek interleague contests before heading on a seven-game road trip with stops in Colorado and St. Louis.
8/4/14 - Going into a four game, home-and-home series with their American League counterparts at the other end of Interstate 71 in Ohio (Cleveland), the Cincinnati Reds wrapped up July and started August on a positive note, taking three of four from Miami in south Florida, including the controversial 3-1 win in the opening game of that series marked by an overturned call involving the new blocking-the-plate rule. With all the injuries to various parts of the Reds offense, this has become Todd Frazier's team – the Home Run Derby runner-up leads the Reds in most of the primary offensive statistics, including batting average, homers, RBI, on-base percentage, OPS, and runs scored. The other key stat leader is Billy Hamilton, who has become a quintessential leadoff hitter; Hamilton leads the team in doubles, triples and stolen bases, and is second in hits and runs scored.
7/29/14 - With a single game won out of their first 10 games after the All-Star break, the Cincinnati Reds are rapidly headed in the wrong direction. At one point being within a game and a half of the top of the super-competitive National League Central Division, the Reds are rapidly falling off the pace set by rivals Milwaukee, St. Louis and Pittsburgh. One of the killing factors for the Reds has to be the injury bug, which was responsible for bringing down two key cogs in the team's offense, Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. Phillips has begun throwing but is still unable to catch, as of a week ago; while Votto underwent another procedure for his strained quadriceps muscle. Adding to the pileup, Jay Bruce is now day to day, having been put on the team's bereavement list, momentarily leaving the Reds with a significant power shortage; only Todd Frazier and Devin Mesoraco have homer totals in the double digits among the active roster.
7/21/14 - After slugger Todd Frazier nearly claimed the All-Star Home Run Derby last week, falling to defending champ Yoenis Cespedes of Oakland, the Cincinnati Reds needed to get off to a good start for the second half of the season. Unfortunately, the New York Yankees didn't help, as the Reds were swept in the three game series in the Bronx. Two of the Reds' losses were by a single run, while Alfredo Simon was knocked around in a 7-1 loss. The Reds are still very much alive, though, in what has become a four-horse race in the National League Central Division, 2 ½ games back of St. Louis and Milwaukee, but just a game back of resurgent Pittsburgh.
7/14/14 - With the All-Star break upon us, the traditional mid-point of the Major League Baseball season, the Reds have rallied from a slow start to the season to turn the National League Central Division into a three-horse race with rivals Milwaukee and St. Louis, with just a game and a half separating the three teams – the Reds currently sitting just a half game behind the defending NL champion Cardinals, and a game and a half in arrears of the Brewers. The Reds have been fighting an injury bug of late, having lost Brandon Phillips to a thumb injury for an extended period, and Joey Votto to a still balky leg from time to time. But the pleasant surprises have been pitcher Johnny Cueto, who has returned to the dominant power-pitching form he had in 2012; and center fielder Billy Hamilton, who overcame some massive early-season struggles at the plate to put himself squarely in the middle of the discussion of the NL's Rookie of the Year candidates.
7/8/14 - A pair of news items: First, Jay Bruce started at first base in place of Joey Votto – a position Bruce, who normally plays in right field, hadn't played since high school. It's a precautionary measure for Votto, who is still dealing with a thigh injury which could hand him on the disabled list. On a more historical note: Before there was Jim Bouton and his tell-all look at the 1969 Major League Baseball season, there was Jim Brosnan, who chronicled a pair of Reds' seasons, one of which was the National League championship of 1961, in a pair of best-selling books. The pitcher, who also played for the Cubs, Cardinals, and White Sox, was known for "The Long Season" (1960) and "Pennant Race" (1961); he passed away at the age of 84 in the Chicago suburb of Morton Grove, Ill. on June 28.
7/1/14 - Shhh…don't look now, but here come the Cincinnati Reds. In what is arguably the most competitive division in the National League now, the Reds have won eight of their last 10 games, including their first four-game road sweep of San Francisco in over 40 years, and have put themselves in position to make a run at one of the NL's two wild card slots at the end of the season. Mat Latos is back on the active roster for the Reds, but has split his first two decisions from his first four starts. While the man of the offense has become Todd Frazier, who leads the squad in batting average (.287), homers (17) and RBIs (46), Billy Hamilton has started to show some good production for the Reds at the top of their batting order. After a slow start to the season, Hamilton is hitting .281/.312/.402, with 16 doubles, three triples, and even four homers, and his 34 steals put him second in the NL behind the Los Angeles Dodgers' Dee Gordon, who has 40.
6/24/14 - The Cincinnati Reds are 13-8 through the month of June, and currently on a three-game winning streak, taking two out of three from high-flying Toronto before heading off to the Friendly Confines of Chicago's Wrigley Field and grabbing a needed win in the first of a three game set. But while the offense struggles this season, the pitching has been the biggest factor keeping the Reds within shouting distance of St. Louis and division leading Milwaukee. Ace Johnny Cueto is clearly all the way back from the physical issues he had last season; while just 7-5, his 1.86 ERA and 0.84 WHIP are tops in the National League, as are his three complete games; his 119 strikeouts are second in the NL. The true revelation this season, though, has been Alfredo Simon, whose 10 wins put him first in the NL.
6/9/14 - So far this season, the Cincinnati Reds are a tale of two teams: offense, and defense. The pitching has generally been good – as a team, the Reds are third in the bigs in quality starts, fifth in batting average against (.235), sixth in WHIP (1.22), and ninth in ERA (3.57). The offense, though, is another story: 28th in runs scored (213), 27th in batting average (.237), 25th in slugging percentage (.372), and 29th – next to last in all of MLB – in on-base percentage (.299). The Reds are set to get a pair of key players off the disabled list soon – Joey Votto and Mat Latos are doing rehab stints with Triple A Louisville, and are expected back soon off the DL (Latos as soon as this weekend).
6/3/14 - The Cincinnati Reds finished off the month of May and started June the right way, taking three of four games from Arizona. The Reds claimed three straight after dropping the first game of the series in the Arizona desert, including a six-hit shutout anchored by Johnny Cueto's 7 1/3 innings of work in which he allowed five hits and just one walk while striking out seven, increasing his league leading whiff total to 92 while dropping his ERA to 1.68. The next day, the Reds collected all four of their runs in their 4-3 win off the longball, with four solo shots from Zack Cozart, Todd Frazier (his team leading 10th), Ryan Ludwick, and Chris Heisey en route to giving Alfredo Simon his team-high seventh win of the season. Off the field, Reds first baseman Joey Votto was eligible to come off the disabled list over the weekend, but remained on in a day to day status with no timetable to return from a strained left quadriceps muscle. Billy Hamilton also is day to day with a sore right elbow as a result of a long throw from the outfield.
5/27/14 - The Cincinnati Reds arrived on the West Coast at the beginning of the weak, and faced a pitcher just coming off the disabled list – and it took an eighth-inning double by Todd Frazier to break up what had been up to then a perfect game bid by Los Angeles Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu. The Reds offense woke up after than but it ended up being too little too late, as the Dodgers defeated Johnny Cueto (6 1/3 innings, four runs but just one earned, on four hits) and the Reds 4-3. Frazier scored the first Red run in the eighth on Chris Heisey's sacrifice fly; then Billy Hamilton ripped a double to right center field which scored Ryan Ludwick and Brayan Pena, accounting for the remainder of the Reds' scoring. The Reds have dropped three straight now, including two to division rivals St. Louis back home at Great American Ball Park, leaving them now in fourth place, a half game behind Pittsburgh and 6 ½ behind Milwaukee, still leading the division.
5/19/14 - After Johnny Cueto, the surprise of the season so far for the Cincinnati Reds has to be the pitching of starter Alfredo Simon. Simon is currently the Reds' staff leader in wins, with a 5-2 record; Cueto stands now at 4-2; Simon also has compiled a solid 2.45 ERA through his eight starts – but still almost double the minuscule number (1.25) that is Cueto's ERA. Cueto has also moved to the top of the National League strikeouts chart, with 76 whiffs. Over the past weekend, the Reds dropped two out of three to Philadelphia, winning the Friday night affair 3-0, then losing the next two by 12-0 and 8-3 counts. Slugger Joey Votto has missed the Reds' last four games with a knee injury, and the club continues to hope that he will not need to go onto the disabled list.
5/12/14 - The Cincinnati Reds got a huge lift on May 11: the return of closer Aroldis Chapman. Chapman struck out the side in the ninth inning of the Reds' 4-1 win over Colorado, allowing Homer Bailey to notch his third win of the season. Chapman faced four hitters in the ninth inning, walking one; he threw first-pitch strikes to all four hitters, and ultimately tossed 21 pitches, of which 14 were strikes. Billy Hamilton ripped a triple as part of a 2-for-3 day at the plate, and also swiped his 12th base of the season (tied for third best in the National League); and Todd Frazier slammed his seventh home run of the year, tops for the Reds just ahead of Joey Votto, who has six. On the mound, Johnny Cueto, despite just a 3-2 record, is having an outstanding season; he is tops in the NL in ERA (1.75) and WHIP (0.73), and second in strikeouts (68, two behind Miami's ace Jose Fernandez).
5/6/14 - nd down goes Jay Bruce. The Cincinnati Reds outfielder was scratched from the starting lineup on May 4, citing pain in his knee; he would see one plate appearance in pinch-hitting duty during the Reds' 10-inning victory over division leader Milwaukee. However, later the team would announce that Bruce had torn cartilage in his knee which would require surgery, meaning he would be out for at least 3-4 weeks. The good news is that closer Aroldis Chapman is expected back with the big club in time for the next homestand; after making a pair of successful starts for Dayton (Single A), the Cuban smokeballer is expected to make a start for Triple A Louisville this week, and then possibly follow up out of the bullpen before returning. More good news on the field: The Reds claimed three of four from the division leading Milwaukee Brewers to start the month of May off on the right foot.
4/28/14 - After winning seven of their last 10 games – including five of seven against division nemesis Pittsburgh – the Cincinnati Reds went to Atlanta and were promptly swept by the Braves, even turning a stellar eight inning, three-hit, 11-strikeout performance by resurgent starter Johnny Cueto into a no-decision. The Reds also found themselves struggling for baserunners this past Sunday as well, managing just three hits off Braves starter Julio Teheran – though two were for extra bases (doubles by Brayan Pena and Ryan Ludwick). Cueto, who struggled with injuries through all of 2013, is just 2-2 in six starts, but already has a pair of complete games and a shutout to go along with 50 whiffs – second in the NL to Stephen Strasburg – and a minuscule 1.15 ERA, also good for second in the league behind former Red Aaron Harang.
4/21/14 - Taking two out of three in Chicago, the Cincinnati Reds have pulled to just a couple of games away from .500, and now in third place in the National League's Central Division. The Reds bombed the Cubs on Easter Sunday, April 20, to a final score of 8-2; Homer Bailey tossed six innings of shutout baseball, striking out eight, and helping himself at the plate with an RBI single in the 4th inning. Jay Bruce and Zack Cozart each smacked homers in the 7th inning, while six Reds in total walloped extra base hits. In great off-the-field news, the Redleg Nation blog is reporting that shutdown closer Aroldis Chapman, who suffered a fractured orbital bone after being hit by a line drive during Spring Training, is scheduled to throw live batting practice on April 23, after which he should begin his minor league rehabilitation process.
4/15/14 - The Cincinnati Reds offense finally opened up over the weekend, giving the visiting Tampa Bay Rays a 12-4 shellacking on April 13. The Reds got longballs from Joey Votto, his second of the season; Devin Mesoraco, who also launched his second; and Chris Heisey left the yard for the first time this season, pinch-hitting in the bottom of the 8th inning. All of these runs came in support of starter Tony Cingrani, who threw 6 1/3 innings and allowed two runs on five hits while striking out six to notch his first win of the season. This win came after a pair of one-run losses to the Rays over the weekend, 2-1 on April 11 in a duel of aces David Price and Johnny Cueto; and then being shut out 1-0 on April 12. The Reds collected a grand total of eight base hits across the two losses. The Reds, at 4-8 and tied with Chicago at the bottom of the NL Central, haven't gotten off to this slow a start in almost 20 years.
4/8/14 - Did the Cincinnati Reds leave their offense behind in Arizona? It's still early (just seven games out of 162), but as a team the Reds are 28th in Major League Baseball in runs scored, 26th in team batting average, 23rd in team on-base percentage, and 26th in team slugging percentage. Through April 7, the Reds are 2-5 and in last place in the National League's Central Division, having scored 18 runs while allowing 24. Billy Hamilton's struggles at the plate exemplify the team's performance as a whole; in 17 at-bats, Hamilton had a grand total of one hit, a double, for a six-game slash line of .059/.111/.118. On the other side of the coin, Ryan Ludwick (.367) and Todd Frazier (.360 and 2 HR) are tearing the cover off the ball. Also encouraging is the performance of Johnny Cueto; in two starts (a loss and a no decision) and 14 innings pitched, he has allowed just three earned runs and struck out 17 as opposed to four walks.
3/31/14 - OPENING DAY: the phrase baseball fans live for, year after year. Until recent years, the Major League Baseball opener was an annual tradition in southwest Ohio, home of the first professional baseball club, the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds had an impressive string of 61 Opening Days scoring at least one run snapped on Monday, falling 1-0 to the defending National League champ St. Louis Cardinals. Reds fans did get some promising news out of the game, as starter Johnny Cueto pitched into the seventh inning, allowing three hits – including what would be the game-winning home run by Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina – and striking out eight while walking just one. The Reds' offense generated just three hits, all singles; and only Todd Frazier could touch Cards starter Adam Wainwright for more than one base hit (two; Brandon Phillips had the other single). Billy Hamilton was 0-for-4, all whiffs.
3/24/14 - It's every pitcher's fear: the smoked line drive up the middle. And that's exactly what happened to Cincinnati Reds smokeballing closer Aroldis Chapman in a Spring Training game against Kansas City. Chapman suffered a fracture over his left eye and a mild concussion after being hit in the bottom of the sixth inning by Royals catcher Salvador Perez. It's not only Chapman, though; the injury bug continues to bite the Reds. Not only will Chapman be out at least two months (and will he be as effective as he was before?), manager Bryan Price recited a litany of additional injury issues: pitchers Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall will start the season on the disabled list, and starter Mat Latos will likely join them – though Latos was expected to start a minor-league game at the beginning of the week; Johnny Cueto will also take a minor-league start; Homer Bailey is still recovering from a groin injury and will have bullpen sessions at the end of the week; and catcher Devin Mesoraco has an oblique muscle injury.
3/18/14 - Just two years ago in 2012, the Cincinnati Reds had all five of their starting pitchers go through the season without suffering any injuries. What a difference time makes – three starters have suffered injuries just during Spring Training alone, the latest being Homer Bailey, who signed a huge contract just before Spring Training started. Bailey was scratched from a weekend start with a mild groin sprain, although it was something characterized by Reds manager Bryan Price as "not a significant strain." The Reds' top returning starter from 2013, Mat Latos, is still recovering from meniscus surgery, but is said to possibly make his spring debut next week; Mike Leake started the spring with an abdominal strain but has made a pair of starts without any further physical issues. The most closely watched of the Reds' starters, though, has to be Johnny Cueto, who has had injury issues since the first game of the 2012 postseason.
3/11/14 - Cincinnati.com sports writer Paul Daugherty notes that the Cincinnati Reds are "focused on what they have, not what they lost" – in other words, having speedy outfield prospect Billy Hamilton; proven vets Joey Votto, Jay Bruce, and Brandon Phillips; and a starting staff that, despite the offseason departure of innings-eater Bronson Arroyo, Daugherty called "among the best three or four in the league." The big questions for the Reds right now? As Daugherty put it, "If Todd Frazier can…if Ryan Ludwick comes back…" When asked if the Reds are a "complete" team, Votto said, "I think so."
3/4/14 - In a preview on the Redleg Nation blog, the Reds' "biggest unknown" for 2014 is the ongoing project that is speedster Billy Hamilton. Blogger Jason Linden said, "Watching Hamilton run is a religious experience" – but notes that Reds fans are "hopeful and nervous." Hamilton does have some sizable shoes to fill, as 2013 starting center fielder and leadoff man Shin-Soo Choo (now a Texas Ranger) had a slash line of .285/.423/.462 to go along with 34 doubles, 21 homers, and a team leading 107 runs scored. The two big questions regarding the Hamilton project are: How he will do at the plate over a full season, and what kind of defense he will bring to the Reds' outfield as the starting center fielder. Thus far, Hamilton has appeared in four games for the Reds during Spring Training, hitting .333 (3-for-9) with a double, four runs scored, and a pair of stolen bases.
2/24/14 - Going into the meat of Spring Training 2014, the Cincinnati Reds have very high hopes pinned on speed merchant Billy Hamilton. The young outfielder astounded scouts and Reds front office personnel by stealing 258 bases across the 2011 (103) and 2012 (a minor league record 155) seasons. During a September callup by the Reds in 2013, Hamilton ripped off 13 bases in as many games, while going 7-for-19 with a pair of doubles and nine runs scored. Hamilton had a pair of special tutors last spring – Ken Griffey Sr. and Delino DeShields – and is working extensively this spring with another former Reds superstar, Eric Davis.
2/11/14- A now infamous article broke last Friday, profiling Cincinnati Reds LHP, Aroldis Chapman, the man who threw the fastest recorded pitch in MLB history (105 mph in 2010), and his longing for his old life in Cuba, smoking, sleeping and simply being bored for most days in the offseason. Now, Chapman is ready to brush off that winter slumber and hit the mound again, starting Feb 14, when Reds pitchers report for the first day of
Spring Training
practice. Cincinnati Reds tickets start at just $5 when they take on the Indians (Feb 27), see if springtime breathes new life into your young closer!
1/27/14 - The Reds are gearing up for life without leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo, but with gifted youngster Billy Hamilton and his world-class speed gear up for the challenge, things are looking more than promising. With new management and a craving for revenge against the
, the Reds could definitely take the NL Central this year! Cincinnati Reds tickets are averaging $38 to see how the team stacks up in
Spring Training
starting next month.
The Reds haven't made much noise in the way of headlining news this offseason, with seven of eight position players and four of five rotation players back in the line up with Spring Training looming on the horizon. The Reds obtained Skip Schumaker from the
and Brayan Pena from the
, while trading Ryan Hanigan to the
and losing Shin-Soo Choo in free agency, arguably the biggest change for the team this winter.
Making internal changes, the Red's promoted Bryan Price (pitching coach) to manager after letting go of six-year manager Dusty Baker. Under Baker, Cincinnati made it to the playoffs three times, but could never reach the NLCS round. On the field, the Reds have enlisted young swift-footed Billy Hamilton to replace Choo as leadoff hitter in center after his promising rookie year. Last season won Cincinnati a trip to the Wild Card round, but the Reds will settle for nothing less than the division title this time around. Can they do it with a new manager? Score some Cincinnati Reds tickets now to see how they do!
2013 Season
9/24/13 - The Cincinnati Reds have clinched a playoff spot for the second straight year. But, there is one more accomplishment the Reds would like to achieve before the end of the regular season – a NL Central title. Cincinnati will play one of two divisional rivals still in the hunt to win that title, the Pittsburgh Pirates, in the final series this regular season at Great American Ball Park. The two ball clubs both boast a 90-67 record; both are two games behind current leader St. Louis Cardinals. The three game series is averaging $42 in Cincinnati. Good news for the Reds, Johnny Cueto is back on the mound and if he remains healthy, can greatly contribute to a squad who has seen much of its pitching rotation fall to injury throughout the season.
7/26/13 - Despite losing ace Johnny Cueto to significant time on the disabled list, the Big Red Machine continues to keep the pressure on Central Division rivals St. Louis and Pittsburgh. The heart of the Reds' batting order – Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, and Jay Bruce – continue to be the engine of the Red Machine; while the pitching slack from Cueto's injuries has been admirably picked up by Mike Leake, who is quietly having a career year on the mound. Reds fans have come to expect great things from this team, and 2013 will prove to be no exception.
3/26/13 – The City of Cincinnati might as well shut down for Opening Day – Reds fans consider the day an unofficial Holiday and flock to
Great American Ball Park
in masses. The Cincinnati Reds are the only team who always opens the season with a home game (aside from 1990) and for the first time ever this year, teams (including the Reds) will play interleague games on Opening Day. Demand for Reds tickets is high; it is not surprising than that Reds Opening Day tickets are the second most expensive in the League – only the
Boston Red Sox
New York Yankees
Opening Day tickets are more expensive. Following the Reds Opening Day series against the
Los Angeles Angels
, the team will host the
Washington Nationals
Philadelphia Phillies
Miami Marlins
, and
Chicago Cubs
in April.
Is "The Big Red Machine" back? With the Cincinnati Reds winning the National League's Central Division two out of the last three years, many fans would say, "Yes sir!" Manager Dusty Baker has the boys from Ohio's "Queen City" playing solid baseball, with timely hitting and solid pitching. However, the Reds do have a number of questions going into the 2013 campaign. Are slugger Joey Votto and ace starter Johnny Cueto fully recovered and rehabbed from late season injuries suffered last season? Votto suffered torn cartilage in his left knee midway through last season, and was only moderately effective as a hitter after a short rehab; Cueto strained a muscle in his back just eight pitches into Game 1 of the 2012 NL Division Series, and never returned, while the Reds dropped three straight to the eventual World Series champions from San Francisco. The Reds also acquired outfielder Shin-Soo Choo from their upstate rivals in Cleveland; Choo is expected to hold down center field while up and coming basepath burner Billy Hamilton learns to play the position in what many expect to be his final season in the minor leagues. Finally, can 100-mph fireballer Aroldis Chapman successfully make the transition back to starting pitching, after a 2012 season in which he was one of the dominant closers in the National League? All of this and more remains to be seen as 2013 opens at Great American Ball Park.
How much are Reds tickets? Cincinnati Reds tickets average $65 at Great American Ball Park in 2013. Opening Day tickets are priced from $95 in the Bleacher and View levels to more than $700 for Diamond and Infield Box seats — the Reds host the Angels in an Interleague game on April 1st. In addition to the Angels, this season's Reds schedule features huge series with the three other
teams from California:
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Diego Padres
, and
San Francisco Giants
. Reds fans on a budget should head out to GABP to catch Reds games versus the
Colorado Rockies
Chicago White Sox
, Philadelphia Phillies,
Texas Rangers
, and Washington Nationals; Reds baseball tickets to these series average under $45. Also, cheap Reds tickets for most 2013 home games start at $15 or less. Cincinnati's popular on the road too; Reds away game tickets average $70, $5 more than at home.

So why should anyone want to use this?
Phoronix: Tux3 File-System Gains Initial FSCK Implementation
The Tux3 file-system has been in development for years while back on 1 January, the file-system work was resurrected. There's now an initial fsck implementation for Tux3...
So why should anyone want to use this?
Because online fsck is awesome.It is quite possible that Tux3 will get to incremental and online fsck before
Ext4 does. (There you go, Ted, that is a challenge.) There is no question that
this is something that every viable, modern filesystem must do, and no,
scrubbing does not cut the mustard. We need to be able to detect errors on the
filesystem, perhaps due to blocks going bad, or heaven forbid, bugs, then
report them to the user and *fix* them on command without taking the volume
offline. If that seems hard, it is. But it simply has to be done.
(Also if i understood correctly the layout should work wonders with spinning media. And also result in wear-leveling on ssd:s)
Online fsck is nice. Good file systems avoid errors though.
Errors happen, bugs happen. Its the nature of software. You do the best you can, but a bug will always find a way in. Plus hardware fails as Rahul pointed out. Thats why its not a "We have the perfect filesystem. Zero errors!" approach. Its a "This is reality. Shit happens. We need to protect against the shit." approach
I mean, atomic operations and similar things to avoid errors which are not hardware-sided.
This file system have a lot of potentiality i hope that everything work the best until, finally, will be ready.
I believe that would have the potential to become an enterprise file system something that is not ext4 (since important features such as snapshots are not present) but remained far lighter (so usable even on old machine with few resource) respect Btrfs (that is a sort of an elephant so we need not wonder that despite the support it receives isn't never ready as default file system and anyway require too much resource).

Greenpeace NZ campaign director Chris Harris speaks with the store manager of the Quay St Foodtown where Greenpeace hangs a seven metre banner on the downtown Auckland Foodtown supermarket which reads 'Costing our Oceans? Alongside, the mascot for the Greenepace Save our Seas campaign, Sad Fish, hangs in a bottom trawl net. The message highlighted that supermarkets without sustainable seafood policies are supporting overfishing and destructive fishing practices. At street level, a model of a large piece of coral in a supermarket trolley illustrated the environmental cost of destructive fishing practices. A team of activists entered the Quay St store, accompanied by a second Sad Fish mascot, to talk with shoppers and ask the manager to implement a sustainable seafood policy and to remove orange roughy, which is caught by bottom trawling, from the shelves.

Hi all... i'm new!
Hey there, I found this place searching for a way to transfer ps1 saves from my pc to my ps3. Sadly I haven't found one that doesn't involve using a psp.
Anyway I'm thumbgreen but feel free to shorten it if you'd like.
Hi all, hope ya all well. My names Drew from yorkshire. Am quite new to web forums, and chatting on the net so apologies in advance if i come across a little dim at times.
I Decided to join this forum cos, as most of u probably are, im a massive gamer and think the ps3 is the best thing since the wheel but now theres so much u can do with your console i seem to find myself asking alot of questions that this site seems to be able to answer....So...erm...Thanks
yeah, i'm new as well.. just pretty much preparing myself for when i actually do get a ps3.
zomg! i heard of you! can't believe ur really here! cud it really be you?
do you come in peace?
Hi guys! This is my first post here!
