Birthday Bash Giveaway: Part One
Engine 145's first birthday is July 11, but we're celebrating all week long. We've got a bunch of giveaways lined up for you as our way of saying "thanks."
First up: Drew Kennedy's excellent Fresh Water in the Salton Sea album and novel (here's our 2011 feature on this project).
One reader will get the Fresh Water in the Salton Sea bundle, which includes both the CD and book. Since Drew is a big baseball fan, to enter this giveaway, leave a comment on this post mentioning your favorite song about baseball before noon Eastern on Tuesday, July 10. A winner will be chosen by random number generator and informed by email, so be sure to use a valid address. One entry per household, please.
29 Comments
Clearly Steve Goodman's "St. Louis Browns" is the greatest baseball song ever, surpassing even his "Dying Cubs' Fan's Lament." Clearly.
Piffle. It's "Home Run Man."
"Moe Berg: The Song" by Chuck Brodsky.
I'm not putting myself in the running, but it's "Dying Cub Fan's Last Request," and NOTHING surpasses it. As least not if you're a lifelong Cubs fan.
I love The Baseball Project's "Harvey Haddix" and the way they included every single pitcher who ever threw a perfect game. Of course, since they recorded it, there's been like 5 more perfect games, so the song's gotta be pretty tough to sing by now. And thank goodness Jim Joyce blew that call at first base, because I don't know what they could rhyme with "Armando Galarraga."
I'll go with "Van Lingle Mungo" by Dave Frishberg.
I have the album and book so I don't need an entry, but my favorites are "Harvey Haddix" and "Ted F—ing Williams", both by The Baseball Project.
Letters in the Dirt by Chuck Brodsky gets my vote today, but tomorrow it could be something else. Brodsky may be writing about a baseball player, but he is really writing about all of us. Great stuff.
letters in the dir.
I'm soooooo not a sports fan. I'd have to go with "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" as it may be the only sports related song I'm familiar with….
Favorite Baseball song? Easy. "Cheap Seats" Alabama
I love Kenny Roger's "The Greatest" song.
If Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" counts as a baseball song because it was played at the ballpark, then the greatest baseball song has to be a song written by Francis Scott Key.
"Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?"- "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel. Yes, it's overplayed, but it's still a classic.
I'm sorry, but a passing mention of a baseball player is not enough to make a song be about baseball. It's got to have baseball as its subject, or at least as its central conceit. Like "Home Run Man."
"Two strikes against me before I even start
I swung twice, but I missed – I'm gonna win your heart
You're doing all the pitching, and the game is in your hands
But one thing you don't know, honey, I'm a home run man"
And note that this one is an actual country song written by an actual country songwriter and recorded by actual country music singers like Jimmy Martin and Marty Raybon. As opposed to folk singers, roots rockers and the like. Kind of appropriate for a country music site.
The Treniers – Say Hey (The Willie Mays Song)
"A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request" for me, but of the songs that have yet to be mentioned, "Right Field" by Peter, Paul, and Mary. And Sam G., your comment literally made me fall on the floor laughing.
I don't know what they could rhyme with "Armando Galarraga."
They "rhymed" Randy Johnson with Addie Joss, so I'm guessing they'll rhyme Galarraga with Phil Humber.
I like Nelly's Batter Up.
"Glory Days" – Bruce Springsteen.
Ineligible, but shocked that nobody has mentioned Trace Adkins' modern classic, "Swing." Shame on all of you.
There's also "America's Favorite Pastime" by Todd Snider.
Take Me Out To The Ballgame is my favorite.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned "Centerfield", written and sung by John Fogerty. It gets the blood pumping, the adrenalin flowing with its infectious beat and perfect lyrics.
In addition to writing "The Greatest" for Kenny Rogers, songwriter Don Schlitz also wrote "I Watched It All On My Radio" by Lionel Cartwright.
I'd go through the stations 'til I found a game
I knew how they played by the sounds of their names
The sluggers hit homers, those pitchers threw smoke
And I watched it all on my radio
"The Show", written by Jon Vezner and Don Henry, from Vezner's cd "Who's Gonna Know", tells of a young man's journey to "The Show" which many know from the movie "Bull Durham" is the major leagues.
I don't listen to a whole lot of baseball songs now that I think about it, but I do enjoy "The Cheap Seats."
take me out to the ballgame
I am not a baseball fan but I love football I love the NFL theme song that Faith Hill sings
I love Kenny Rogers "The Greatest"
My favorite is "Talkin' Baseball" – Terry Cashman
The old classic – John Fogerty, Centerfield

My First Craft Book
By Emma Hardy
Gifted by CICO Books
Book Review by Linda Augsburg
I wish My First Craft Book had been around when I was 7. I was a crafty kid who loved making things and I would have gotten so many great ideas from this book! Even as I paged through it to write this review, I thought "I want to try that!"
The 35-plus projects in this book range from cooking and nature crafts to costumes, sewing and more. I actually have favorites: The dried-flower fairies decorate cards that I believe kids that age could replicate just as beautifully (and I hope to, too!) And the fresh colors in the yo-yo fabric necklace make me smile as much as a 10-year-old would. While the projects in the book don't look like a child made them, they all seem like a child could create them and there are tips and illustrations along the way to help you and your kid succeed.
Another wonderful aspect of this book is that it teaches techniques in addition to just suggesting projects. You can introduce your little crafter to some time-tested crafts like papier-mache and egg-shell mosaics. You can share quality kitchen time while you make salt-dough ornaments and bread rolls shaped like animals.
I think you'll love making these projects with your kids or cheering them along as they create them on their own.

EoPlex Presents Paper Co-Authored With STMicroelectronics at Device Packaging Annual Conference of International Microelectronics and Packaging Society
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire/ — EoPlex Technologies, the company that produces complex electronic components in a high-speed, low-cost, clean tech process, has co-authored a paper with its customer, STMicroelectronics, the world's fifth largest semi-conductor company. The paper, entitled "High Performance and Cost Effective Molded Array Package Substrate," was presented yesterday by EoPlex Vice President, Philip Rogren, for the Annual Device Packaging Conference of IMAPS International Microelectronics and Packaging Society.
"We are pleased that STMicroelectronics has co-authored the important discussions presented in this paper," said Arthur Chait, CEO of EoPlex. "Their participation in describing the new QFN Multi Row (QFN-MR) packaging family and their interest in EoPlex's advanced substrate for QFN-MR means a great deal to us. I extend my personal thanks to Pierangelo Magni, Mark Shaw and Maura Mazzola for contributing their perspective."
This new packaging family combines the manufacturing efficiencies of QFN with greater design flexibility and performance than BGAs and QFPs. In addition, the molded array package (MAP) substrate simplifies assembly flow and enables test in the strip prior to singulation. EoPlex's unique print forming processes and advanced materials combine to create a MAP substrate that is more cost effective and is also very environmentally friendly in both its manufacture and use.
The disruptive EoPlex platform technology is a clean additive process that uses proprietary deposition techniques and materials to produce ceramic-metal or metal-polymer components, such as cell phone antennas and the micro semiconductor packages described above. The EoPlex process can replace many older processes, such as etching and plating, that require toxic chemicals or processes, and machining that generates fine particle wastes. The EoPlex process also allows new design freedoms and advancements that were not available before – all at very low cost.
About STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics is a global leader, serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications with innovative semiconductor solutions. ST aims to be the undisputed leader in multimedia convergence and power applications leveraging its vast array of technologies, design expertise and combination of intellectual property portfolio, strategic partnerships and manufacturing strength. In 2009, the company's net revenues were $8.51 billion. Further information on ST can be found at http://www.st.com/.
About EoPlex Technologies, Inc.
EoPlex Technologies, Inc. is the creator of an innovative deposition technique based on custom printing equipment and proprietary "inks" that carry ceramic, metallic or polymer materials to millions of locations. This allows the manufacture of components with integrated chambers, channels, dielectrics, sensors, circuits, reactors, energy scavengers and other features. Many parts are created simultaneously in large panels and at low cost. A further advantage of the process is that it is additive and, as a result, is very environmentally friendly. EoPlex manufactures miniature antennas like those used in cell phones, GPS devices and other portable devices. The company also produces a new semiconductor packaging micro-lead frame that offers better performance and lower cost in many portable devices. EoPlex is a privately held company based in Redwood City, CA and is backed by ATA Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Labrador Ventures and Draper-Richards.

Buff1 - When the Winter Comes
Artist: Jamall Bufford
Producer: Damu the Fudgemunk
Album: It's a 1derful Life
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 11 votes )
The autumn leaves are pretty and all, but When the Winter Comes, you'd better be prepared – especially if you, like me, live in the coldest state in the mainland U.S. (I reside in Minnesota, for the record). On the latest single off Booth newcomer Buff1's forthcoming It's a 1derful Life mixtape, the Ann Arbor, Michigan up-and-comer uses the impending chill as a metaphor for the passage of time, spitting, "The colder it gets, the older you feel/ your bones get tense like you're over the hill…." Damu the Fudgemunk, the inexplicably-named beatsmith readers may remember from The Black Sunn's Who I Am, turns in an impressive performance behind the boards, backing Buff's half poetic, half boastful bars with a sampled beat featuring some shiver-inducing piano trills – I'm feeling kind of chilly just listening. Readers digging WtWC can find plenty more wintry jams – and, hopefully, a few warmer tunes – on Buff1's latest street album, set to hit the 'net December 2.

text: A new survey of state legislatures across the country from Rutgers University finds Louisiana has the fewest women by percentage in its state legislature. According to the report from the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers, 12.5 percent of the Louisiana legislature is female. The national average is 24.2 percent. Christine Day, a professor of political science at the University of New Orleans, doesn't believe that low rate of female representation is a result of voter sexism, but there may be hurdles when it comes to attracting campaign donors. "There's been some research showing that women do have a harder time raising money," said Day. "(They) are less likely to have the kinds of business connections that can help raise that early money." Day points out that in 1996, voters sent Mary Landrieu to the U.S. Senate, and this was after Landrieu had served in the statewide elective office of treasurer earlier in that decade. And from 2004-2008, Kathleen Blanco served as the state's first female governor, after two terms as lieutenant governor. Day expects the number of women in politics in Louisiana will grow. "The more women role models in elective office there are," she said, " the more likely young women and girls are to start thinking about politics as a profession they could enter as well."

From Barnes & Noble
Like most of his countrymen, George Picquart is convinced that Captain Alfred Dreyfus has guilty of espionage, but as the recently promoted chief of French counterespionage, he is also in a unique position to reevaluate his views. His chance discovery of documents stolen from the German embassy convinced him that Dreyfus had not been the traitor spy, leading him to secretly reopen a case that the government had wished was forever closed. Based on an important historical episode, this novel carries not only that stamp of authenticity, but also the talented storytelling ability of Robert Harris, the author of Pompeii and Fatherland.

The Cisnes River (Spanish for swan) is a river located in the Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Region of the Chilean Patagonia. It runs in east-west direction from the mountains near the border to Argentina and empties into the Pacific Ocean, near the town of Puerto Cisnes at Puyuhuapi Channel. Its characteristic turquoise-blue color is due to the glacial sediments deposited in it. Moro River and Pinchado River are some of the major tributaries of the river.

F800GS vs. KTM 990 Adventure
Hello all. I searched but couldn't find any comparo's. Maybe somebody here can help.
I have about 60k miles on my 2004 KTM 950 and want to replace it. I've had it since new and have ridden it all over the continent. I like it, but its pretty well worn and the 950's are pretty crude running compared to the new 990's.
I know I would be happy with another KTM, because they are much more refined these days. I like the way they handle, I want a 21" front wheel, spokes and tubes, center stand, 200 mile range and the suspension is very nice for hitting washouts and such you find on forest service roads. It takes a lot to upset the bike.
It appears to me the F800GS is pretty much the same motorcycle as the KTM Adventure. Maybe a little smaller and lighter, which for me would be a plus.
My present KTM is well farkled, but I want to keep my new bike totally stock. I want it quiet and functional for long days cross country and visiting more remote areas in the west.
Anybody here gone from a KTM to BMW800? How do they compare?

This or`d to be fun........... Before buying the 8gs.... I was too considering the 990....... and while one can debate handling......capability's.....etc..... I will just share what was the deal beaker for me. On the ktm most of the mechanics is hidden by plastics, which has to be removed to gain access..... thus a simple oil change will take hours.....rather than the 30 minute it takes me on the 8gs....... Looks....which is a biased issue....never the less for me... I think it`s ugly...... 990 is costlier....... Then looking through the 990 forum....I saw other small issues...... But what I did not see....was the crap that has happened to the 8gs riders..... simply because the 8gs was so new....... The 8gs have had it`s share of issues as have the 990 with the fuel system...... If I had to do it all again.... I`d still end up with the 8GS...... but living through the recalls with the 8gs..... I`d say it does not have a lead in trouble free dispatch.......and you end up spending a few bucks on seat...and others.....so it is not much cheaper anymore....... All that said....
The look of the 990 and the oil change will still tip it for me...... But that`s just me. Best think for you to do is pour yourself a lot of espresso....and look through both forums.....and make up your own mind....... because simply put...we are all different.... and while some prefers the Austrian.....others will lean towards the Gerrrrrrrrman.....
May the force be with you.....

I can only speak for the F800, but a recent trip around Europe gave me regularly between 220 and 240 miles per 16l tank. One day involved 9 hours of non-motorway travel (regular changes of speed) and I only filled up once! Epic all day travel. I average 60mpg, and I don't ride that frugally!
I, too, read about issues with the bike, and was a little wary. I'm 9200 miles in, and only a headlight bulb has been an issue, so mine seems OK (it's an 2010 '30-Years' model). I did replace the seat, though, as mentioned above - a must in my opinion.
I think I'm correct in saying that the UK BMW off-raod skills school uses stock bikes.

If you want to keep the new bike totally stock Im not sure the F800GS is for you. Coming from the KTM you won't like the standard suspension much, you will at least need to respring both ends as they are too soft, and the forks still won't be that great. You might also need to do something with the seat. I think you will also want some protection ... better bashplate, engine bars, hanguards. Finally in the miniminilist world I would add a boosterplug or accelerator module or similar thing to smooth out the bottom end power a bit. On the bright side none of this has to cost a fortune or be very difficult.
Further to the bright side the F800GS is lighter and thinner than the 990, has a better turning circle, uses a lot less fuel, is easier to work on and has far better fueling than the 990 I rode. It has less power, but if you can use all the power an 800GS has off road you truly are a legend. There is also a good ecosystem for the GS and you can get lots of information and almost any accessory or modification you can think of.
The farkling does work ... I often get on my 800 after I haven't ridden it for a while and can't believe what a nice bike it is!
There is also the Triumph 800XC. but that is generally accepted as being better than the BMW on road, but not as good off ... less ground clearance, more weight, less bottom end torque. If you believe the published maintenance schedules it is also harder to work on.
If you get a 990 you will at least need some protection for it and to relocate the sidestand. Throttle tamers and what ever else you use to even out the throttle response might be necessary as well.
As they always say test ride them all and see which one appeals to you the most. If I had to pick one of them now I would probably get another 800GS, knowing I wouldn't keep it stock. I might consider the KTM, but only if they have really improved the fueling over the one I rode ... after a brief love affair I couldn't wait to give it back!

I think Ducksbane summed it up pretty well. I also thought long about the 990 and I still consider changing from my F800 from time to time. If indeed you intend to just keep it stock, you are in for an off road let down with the F800. Unless you ride very mellow stuff the stock F800 needs some upgrades to be really dirt worthy. I would say wheels, suspension, protection, and booster plug (or similar). Also maybe a change in the stock gearing. That said, with these changes, the F800 is indeed quite nice. Weight is still an issue for me any time I get into harder stuff and I wish the bike was another 50-100 lbs lighter. This alone has scared me away from the 990 as I certainly dont want more weight. But I do think the 990 has a better stock suspension so it may indeed feel better if not lighter in the dirt. The maintenence thing also scared me off the 990, although the F800 is not exactly perfect there either. I haven't seriously considered the Tiger as its lower and heavier appears to be less dirt worthy than the F800.
The 990 and the F800 are both cool bikes.
IMO : dirt capability (stock) 990 > F800
road capabilty : probably a toss up
maintenence (ease of and reliability) F800 > 990
looks : F800 > 990
The above are of coarse just my totally biased and unscientific impressions so take them for what they are worth. I am sure I would be very happy with a 990, but I have spent enough time and money on my F800 now getting it dialed in the way I like it I am going to stick with it for now.

Great input all
I was having the same debate awhile ago... I'm going to join the F800GS ranks.
The local dealers for the KTM NEVER have anything to test ride unless I buy it first The BMW dealer has always given me a 1.5+ hr test ride (mid week).
That alone carries more weight than comparing the two on paper.

I owned an '04 KTM 950 before going to the F800GS. So, I can tell you exactly how they compare in minute detail. But, let's keep it simple with just the highlights.
If you want to keep it bone stock and plan to do some hardcore offroad riding, then no butts about it.....the KTM is your choice. Its heavy, doesn't turn well, and quite bothersome to work on (removing all the plastic, tanks, etc....to do anything), but its got a good suspension stock, and easy to convert the front end to a high fender. The KTM motor was more exponential in the powerband.....harder to tame and control in the loose stuff.
The F800GS is smoother, more linear motor, better fuel mileage, heavy but more nimble with great turning ability, whisper quiet, and a real dream to work on (easy peasy maintenance). But, the stock suspension SUCKS² You'll have to drop some serious coin to fix it properly. But after you do.....ooo-la-la....she's pretty sweet.
I didn't get along well with my KTM offroad and in the garage. It wasn't the most reliable bike I've owned. I'm loving my F800 in comparison....AFTER bringing it up to my personal specs. Seems like I've bought this bike twice, by now. Probably have. But I'm very pleased with the result. Do wish it had a bit more ground clearance.
Sound like you got along well with your KTM, so......

I've ridden both a lot (back to back to back) and I own an F800GS which I bought before the comparisons - never really considered a 990 because I just don't like the looks.
The 990 has quite a bit more power than the F8, and the suspension is certainly stiffer (probably better once you get it dialed in).
990's are bimodal. On some the fuel injection is in the "workable" category and on others it is a nightmare - jerky transition from idle to midrange, stalling, dying as you stop,... The bad ones seem to resist all attempts to fix either at home or at the dealer. I know of two people who have converted from FI to carbs at considerable time and expense.
As others have pointed out, the 990 is harder to work on. In fact, when you pull the fairings the wire and other routing looks ad hoc and chaotic. It is like the bike was never really finished by the factory. Even a simple oil change is a lot of work. The FI filters clog very easily, and cost $120 to replace. And on it goes.
The F800 is not perfect to be sure, and has had it's share of issues, but at least there was always a light at the end of the tunnel. The 990 is just not ready for prime time IMO.

When I went to the dealer to test a KTM 990, I got back and said it just felt too much of a dedicated offroad machine (albeit a heavy one!). He then offered me a test ride on a brand new F800GS. I bought the BMW on the spot.
Theres not a day goes by where I don't regret buying the BMW ....BUT I imagine I'd be even more dissatisfied with the KTM.
The Beemer is uncomfortable with the stock seat, has a ridiculously tall first gear so hard core offroading is out of the question in stock form which is fine because the suspension is shite for that anyways, the motor rattles more than my dead grannys teeth and it's stupidly overpriced IMHO. No, where the Beemer pics up points is it's ability in town over the KTM and it's astounding fuel mileage.
I have 7 bikes - I dislike the Beemer because it cost the most and delivered the least. I'm sure there's people here who swear by 'em but honestly there's no comparison to what you get with a Japanese machine - in quality, performance and value for money.
When I bought it, I made my bed and now I'll lie on it....... c'est la vie!

Some of my first impressions of the BMW were similar to yours and I was unhappy enough to bitch about here.
My first trip to Saline/Death valley on the stock bike, put the fear of Dog in me, a 65mph tankslapper will do that. Suspension that jarred my teeth, abrupt throttle that garnered me a bent rim. First was too abrupt and 2nd would not pull the grades.
I have about $1,700 in suspension fixes, Accelerator module, G2 tube, exhaust and a shock brace for peace of mind. It is a completely different bike.
It is still cheaper than a KTM. The engine in mine makes no odd noises. With added torque and ability to modulate the throttle, coupled with decent suspension, has made me forget the tall first gear.
Stock to stock there is no comparison, if you are talking about suspension and power.
A few mods and it is tough enough for me.

I had the same problem as you back in March 2010. It took me a few months to do my "homework" and finally decide to put the deposit down on a GS 800. Yes, KTM was the better bike but not £3000 better (which was the price difference between the two), KTM has the better suspension but the GS was easily improved by fitting Hyperpro progressive springs. Furthermore, the GS is much easier to mantain with longer service intervals. Also, the fuel consumption was another thing that spoke for the GS. Now, after almost 1 1/2 years, two trips to the continent and with 11000 miles on the clock, I can't say one single word against the GS8.The only problems I had were a leaking rocker gasket and water pump which were replaced quickly and efficiently (both cases within three days from reporting) by my local dealer.

1) OK - best farkle - hands down must-have mod for me was a GPR steering damper. OMG - completely different bike after that. It was a total pig before and I imagine your tank slapper story is not uncommon.
2) Answer to the KTM v BMW muse..... do like I did and buy an orange BMW

WILLIAMSON – An organization promising to build a stronger and more diverse economy in West Virginia is inviting residents of Williamson to take part.
'What's Next, West Virginia?' is a statewide series of community conversations about strengthening local economies. These nonpartisan conversations are designed to encourage thinking, talking and actions based on West Virginians' own ideas for helping their communities - and the state - move forward.
'What's Next, West Virginia?,' which is being organized by a coalition of partners from across West Virginia, believes the time is right to come together to talk about the future of the Mountain State, and how people can work together to build stronger, more diverse local economies.
Charleston will play host to one of five regional workshops for people who want to bring 'What's Next?' to their communities. The event was created specifically for residents of Williamson and the whole southwest region of the state.
On Sept. 3, residents of Mingo County and Southern West Virginia who want to take a lead organizing role in bringing 'What's Next?' conversations to their area are invited to attend a regional workshop in Charleston to get started. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Saint John XXIII Pastoral Center. Other regional workshops have already been held in Buckhannon, Martinsburg and Beckley. In addition to the Charleston workshop, one more is scheduled for Wheeling on Sept. 16.
More than 90 people have already registered for the Charleston workshop, as well as several individuals from Mingo County, and many more from surrounding counties.
'What's Next?' conversations provide a way for people to come together in discussion and analysis of the state's needs in a democratic process that includes a wide array of voices and allows fresh, innovative thinking to emerge.
'What's Next?' is being organized by a broad and growing coalition of partners from nonprofit, philanthropic, government, educational and faith-based organizations across the state. This coalition has been working for more than a year to develop relationships, build connections and create processes to support productive conversations about the economic future of West Virginia.
Workshops are free, but registration is required at whatsnextwv.org/regional-workshops. Find out more about 'What's Next, WV?' at whatsnextwv.org. For more information, contact the West Virginia Center for Civic Life at email@example.com or 304-344-3430.

1976 Toyota Celica Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 5 reviews
The 1976 Toyota Celica got a new addition to its lineup: the Celica hatchback. It was marketed as a "sports-touring car," with the hatchback offering more trunk room than the coupe. The Celica coupes got a larger wheelbase for 1976,
The new hatchback came as a GT, which offered sporty handling, upgrading interior finishes, and distinguishing body features like racing stripes and chrome-trimmed wheels. The coupe came in the base ST as well as the GT trim levels. The 1976 Celica had a 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine.
Consumers had been demanding a Celica hatchback, so once it was introduced it proved to be very popular. The 1976 Celica was awarded Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year.

Boston Marathoners Fled to Chabad House
'These kinds of attacks don't discriminate.'
In the moments that followed the detonation of two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon yesterday, Rabbi Mayer Zarchi of Chabad Lubavitch of Boston found himself at the epicenter of chaos. The rabbi, who was handing out Jewish literature to some of the 500,000 visitors that the marathon had attracted at a tefillin stand a block away, heard the explosions and immediately recognized the sound.
"I've heard these kinds of noises before, and as soon as I heard it, especially after the second one, I knew what it was," he said in a telephone interview today. "What I heard, what I smelled and the kind of wounds you saw, were all emblematic of a bomb." He went on to add, simply, "It was terrible."
As police started escorting shocked witnesses away from the blast scene, the rabbi began to make his way back to the Chabad House, three blocks away. Because of its proximity to Copley Square, the Chabad House quickly became a refuge for confused and terrified runners who began pouring in to make calls to their family and friends from landline phones.
"These kinds of attacks don't discriminate," said the rabbi, who in December performed the annual menorah lighting in Copley Square. "It rang really close to home." Around 6 o'clock, Rabbi Zarchi went to the waiting room of Massachusetts General Hospital to comfort the families of victims and stayed for the rest of the night.

25 students fail to make it on time; parents question conduct of exam on a weekday
Eamcet aspirants were in for a harrowing time with traffic jams across the city threatening to rob them of a shot at the exam this year.
However, students were largely able to offset the delays, having set out two to three hours prior to the start of the exam. Eamcet officials had earlier warned that latecomers would not be permitted to attempt the exam.
Those who had their exam centres on the city outskirts, however, were greeted by clogged roads. The ongoing Metro Rail works were to blame for traffic moving at a snail's pace at Tarnaka, L.B. Nagar, Malakpet, Kukatpally, Punjagutta, Begumpet and Gandipet.
Officials said around 25 students were not allowed inside the exam hall as they arrived late by a few minutes. However, the figure could be around 50 going by students' claims.
Weekday exam
Parents questioned the conduct of the exam on a weekday, despite authorities being aware of the problems involved. The exam has been conducted on weekends since 2009, following a directive of the State Human Rights Commission to the effect. This year the exam was scheduled on a Friday as some other exams had been posted for weekends.
Tense moments
A Kukatpally centre witnessed tense moments when parents protested the entry of YSRC leader and MLC Jupudi Prabhakar into the exam centre. Mr. Prabhakar had come to the centre to drop his son, who was to attempt the exam. Meanwhile, officials said 95.18 per cent of registered students attended both the engineering and medical tests. In the engineering stream, out of the 2,91,085 registered candidates 2,77,068 appeared while in the medical stream 1,00,004 students appeared out of the 1,05,065 registered candidates.

Four kids were killed and seven others critically injured when a pre-school wall collapsed on them in Odisha's Nayagarh district, about 100 km from Bhubaneshwar on Monday morning.
The tragic incident took place when the children were taking mid-day meal in a dilapidated building on campus of Neilia Upper Primary School under Ranapur block. The wall made of brick and mud was soaked due to continuous rain. Besides, the wall's contiguity with a pond made it more vulnerable.
"As many as 22 children had attended the pre-school on Monday. Three kids died on the spot. One succumbed to injuries while being rushed to hospital. One seriously injured was referred to SCB Medical College Hospital, Cuttack. Most of children had sustained head injuries," said Paresh Mishra, a Samiti Sabhya, who accompanied the injured to capital city.
"An anganwadi centre is supposed to be the safest place after home. In this belief we had sent our kids, who were hardly able to speak, to these centres. They killed my daughter by running the anganwadi centre in an unsafe building," said Niranjan Sahoo, father of Pinki Sahoo, a four-year-old girl who died on way to hospital.
When asked about the incident, Nayagarh District Collector Sarojkant Choudhury admitted that the anganwadi was being run in an unsafe building. "I don't know who had given permission to run the anganwadi centre in the unsafe building. We would inquire into the incident in detail. The administration would take care of the treatment expenses," Mr. Choudhury said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced ex-gratia of Rs. 1 lakh for parents of victims and assured that the treatment cost would be borne by Chief Minister's Fund.

Best budget pass of all. Madamme Tussaud was a good photo op. Wildlife Syndey allowed us to hold Koalas, Snakes and other animals. SeaLife Sydney showed heaps of fishes and Sharks. Sydney Tower 4d entrance allowed us to see Sydney 360 degrees view. The hop on hop off cruise was a good ferry transport for a day and live commentaries.
