Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day–and so do I
I've just finished a thoroughly enjoyable read–Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, by Winifred Watson. Doesn't the whole thing just roll off your tongue? With such a title and author name, how could I resist the book?
Anyway, as I've already said, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day turned out to be a great read. The writing is beautiful and clever, and the story timeless, warm and funny, fast-paced, a Cinderella story about the strengths and weaknesses of women and life. It strikes me that it is very much like Sex and the City, but lifted by writing style and underlying kindness, faith and direction out of the cold and tawdry level. The book is one of those magical gems I will keep on the special shelf of books to re-read.
The novel was a success in it's time; set, written, and published in the modern and fast world of London in the 1930s. It almost made the silver screen, but WWII interrupted. Eventually it was rediscovered and published, went on to be read on BBC Radio 4 and at last did become a movie in 2008 (I must get hold of it!)
When I enjoy a cracking good book, I become wildly curious about the author. If I could, I would sneak up to their home and peer in their windows. Fortunately for people of my sort, the publisher of this edition, Persephone Books, had Henrietta Twycross-Martin do that for me and write an introduction about Winifred Watson and her work. (Good grief, you have to love those names! It's like a cemetery down here in the South.)
Ms. Watson wrote six novels during her late twenties to late-thirties, before and into the early years of her marriage. Her last novel was published in 1943, coinciding with the rigorous strains of the War years, a child, and having her mother move in with her. In other words, she entered the woman's life of domestic interests and demands. She is quoted: "you can't write if you are never alone."
Oh, how I nod my head at that one! I am very much of the same disposition. This is a peculiarity shared by all women writers, and few men. This is not a struggle peculiar to women with families; single women also have the nurturing nature. A dear writer friend who is resolutely single still finds that she struggles to balance her writing life with that of friendship and care-taking of aging parents.
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking. ~Jessamyn West (Hide and Seek)
I started writing when my only child entered school; I was thirty, with boundless energy and enthusiasm. I had the days, when I ignored the house, laundry, cooking, the garden, friends (I made few). For nearly twenty years I lived a rural life, days on end to myself to write my books. I admit to not appreciating this gift of solitary days. The time came, though, when the husband retired and we decided to move to live near our son and grandchildren. My mother went, too.
Now here we all are together. My days are filled with the sound of voices, both childish and grown, calling, "Nana!" Have I seen this, can I do that, trips to the pre-school, the grocery, the doctor carrying my mother, who, as Miss Winifred (I think of her that way now, a friend.) said, "women of my mother's generation could not live alone."
To write in the midst of a woman's domestic life is a great struggle. To write a novel an enormous struggle. Miss Winifred decided to quit that struggle. I imagine her absorbed bit by bit into creating a home for her family, cooking, sewing, gardening, taking photographs of grandchildren, making doctor appointments for her mother, as I just now had to stop to do. Truly, I was put on hold, so I pressed the phone speaker button, set it beside the computer, and kept on typing.
And yet, while Miss Winifred wrote no more novels, I do not believe she quit writing. She was a writer, and no doubt there were long letters to family and friends, perhaps a journal at times, or little short stories to entertain the grands, maybe the local gardeners' or parish newsletters.
We writers keep writing, as I am doing now, between the appointment making and picking up my grandson at preschool. I have not yet made the choice to give up the struggle, and thus far God provides opportunities here and there.
I have even begun the heretofore unthinkable for me– setting the alarm to rise at 5:30 so as to have a good hour or more of absolute peace and quiet. Good heavens, where will this lead?
I have no idea, but I press on with writing a novel and all manner of other things, including fantasies about having my books rediscovered and made into movies. A woman can dream.
And I smile at thinking of Miss Winifred, who said in her nineties, that she had enjoyed, "a happy life."
Me, too, each day.
Go and enjoy yours– create something!

Hi CurtisAnn,
This was great to read and nod to. I told another friend I was between organizing (my creative room & other places and creating….and they, too, don't go well together.) Love the theme and the truth of it, love the quote, " You can't write if you are never alone." The working title (for many years while I didn't work on it) for the book project I am focused on this year is, "Being Faithful to the Quiet"….I must press on! I, too, agree with you that she continued to be a writer, check out my last post, "Actors or Artists? Continue in your happy life.

I, too, have read "Miss Pettigrew" and smiled through it all. A fun read.
I selfishly hope you will be able to continue to find enough quiet time alone to continue writing. Your books have given me many happy hours of reading. Thank you.

Unique Pompeii wine a taste of ancient times
By Estelle Shirbon
Italy - Almost 2 000 years after Mount Vesuvius buried it in ash, the ancient city of Pompeii has renewed a long-lost wine-making tradition.
Wine-makers on Wednesday presented a red tipple produced from native grape varieties, cultivated using ancient techniques in plots where vineyards thrived until the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD ended life in the city.
"The ancient world was not made up only of statues and objects we see in museums. It was made up of all the facets of daily life - and wine was an important one," said Pietro Giovanni Guzzo, archaeological director of Pompeii.
"This wine recreates one small part of what life was like in Pompeii before the eruption," he told a news conference in the heart of the ancient city, now thronged by thousands of tourists every day.
The ancient Pompeiians cultivated vineyards in the surrounding countryside as well as inside the city walls, in their gardens and courtyards, and their wines were traded far and wide. Amphoras bearing the insignia of Pompeii-based wine-makers have been found as far as France.
Archaeological and botanical studies, including the moulding of imprints left in the soil by vine roots, allowed modern wine-makers to identify where vineyards were located and what kinds of grapes were grown.
The frescoes and mosaics that adorn many of the houses of Pompeii also provided precious information about the ancient vineyards, with numerous images of vines and bunches of grapes helping archaeologists identify varieties.
Based on those findings, an experimental plot of 200 square metres inside the archaeological site was planted in 1996 with eight different types of native vines that were well-known to the ancient Pompeiians.
The modern wine-makers followed ancient techniques, with close rows of vines supported by stakes made of chestnut wood, planted in exactly the spots where they stood 2 000 years ago.
They eventually selected two varieties of grapes, the Columbina Purpurea and Vitis Oleagina.
In 2001, the first substantial harvest provided wine-makers with enough grapes to produce 1 721 bottles of a wine that was named Villa dei Misteri, after the Villa of Mysteries, one of Pompeii's famous frescoed houses.
The wine will be sold at auction in Rome later this month, with all proceeds going to fund the restoration of an ancient wine cellar at one of the recreated vineyards.
As for the taste - "Well, it's a newborn wine, it needs rounding-off," said Carla Capalbo, of the monthly wine magazine Decanter.
"But it definitely has a character. You can taste the elements of the territory and the unusual grape varieties. They have found a balance between antique and modern."

Authorities said the suspects they believe are responsible for robbing an electronics store in northwest Harris County have been charged.
Klein ISD confirmed to Local 2 that a lockdown was issued for 10 minutes at Klein High, Kleb Intermediate and Mittelstädt Elementary Wednesday morning while authorities searched the area surrounding the schools.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said four Black men robbed the Radio Shack on Stuebner Airline around 10 a.m.
Officials said the suspects ran out of the store in the direction towards the bayou.
Authorities arrested the suspects at a nearby apartment complex near the intersection of Parker and Yale around 12 p.m. Wednesday.
Authorities identified the suspects as 18-year-old Marckel Lee Burns, 27-year-old Jerome Emanuel Harris, 19-year-old Desmond Dwayne Phillips and 24-year-old Johnothan Louis Fields.
All four men have been charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and appeared in court Thursday morning.

Nice Poster, but not 'great'. Whilst it has lots of detail about different scientists, it is not as visually eye catching as one would have hoped. You have to really study each person up close as with so many crammed onto the poster, they are rather small to read/see. Placing it at a good height on the wall means you cant easily see the scientists at the top. from this perspective a poster in landscape would be much better. the pros are that it does have a lot of information on it and lots of scientists as opposed to the top 10 or so. colours are ok but a bit boring really, I didnt frame this, so it would probably look better with a bright border to offset it and a frame.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By Russ K. on 6/5/2015 Russ K. wouldn't recommend this product to a friend A little over a year ago I purchased three Hydor Evolution 600's. Every 6 months I clean them in vinegar. When cleaning them this time (third time), the sticker started to peel. I decided to remove the sticker altogether so it didn't flake into the tank. After removing the sticker, I found that there is a crack that developed from where the electric wire goes in, going outward. I was concerned and decided I'd replace it. Then I repeated removing the stickers on the other two units and found a crack in the same place. Due to the jaggedness and non-uniform direction, I am certain these are cracks and not a seem. Basically, my overall concern is that all three units cracked in the same place, and all are near the power cord. I will say that I never got shocked or anything from them, but I don't want to take that risk for myself or my fish. great value By kyle on 4/5/2015 kyle would recommend this product to a friend Very quite. Suction cup works great. BRS pricing is way better than my LFS. Very Good Pumps By Lake on 3/19/2015 Lake would recommend this product to a friend These pumps work really well. I have 2 850s. They run almost dead silent, turn on right away, and can move serious amounts of water. I would recommend these to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on controllable DC pumps like vortechs, but also wants very good quality from an AC pump. good pump for the price By Bruce on 2/12/2015 Bruce would recommend this product to a friend good pump at a low cost. I have 7 of these in all sizes, use some for mixing salt but most just to create current in my tanks. Very little noise and have no had one fail yet. Have some turn on/off a couple times a day. They work good for that but I don't think it's the ideal unit for a wavemaker Powerful By George on 1/28/2015 George would recommend this product to a friend I love these pumps (1500gph) but was disappointed when i hooked them up to The WAVEMAKER they make clicking sounds everytime they turn on so i just run them on now. Great pump for overall spread By Brien on 12/30/2014 Brien would recommend this product to a friend Great pumps, OK spread. Not a pinpoint shot so it is pretty gentle. Id buy again, Great Pump By Lake on 12/7/2014 Lake would recommend this product to a friend These pumps circulate water and are perfect for any tank. Ultra quiet. Does not make a sound. very good water movement By boxxmann on 12/3/2014 boxxmann would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this power head as a replacement for my Seio that crapped out after about 6-7 years. The water displacement is broader and less direct than the Seio in my opinion, which I think is better for the overall current in a reef tank. Great product. Quiet, affordable circulation pump By b-christopher on 10/5/2014 b-christopher would recommend this product to a friend I can't speak for use with any wavemakers or timers, but for an always-on circulation pump the combination of power, quietness, affordability and durability are hard to match. At these prices, they are attractive emergency backups as well. great Powerhead By Devin on 9/10/2014 Devin would recommend this product to a friend I use mine for a mixing powerhead, and it works great!!!! very good construction!!! Great pump. By A on 7/16/2014 A would recommend this product to a friend Good pump for extra circulation. I wouldn't turn it on and off all of the time. you get what you pay for By joshua on 5/3/2014 joshua would recommend this product to a friend For the amount of money you pay for this pump. I cant complain that much, but after have two of these pumps running on the hydor wave maker for around 3 or 4 months, the front piece broke out of both and they began running backwards. I contacted their customer service and they were quick to send replacement parts with no hastle.

Posted by Andy Benoit
On the surface, it sounds like one of the most audacious statements in the history of mankind. "I would love to get another dog in the future," Michael Vick told TheGrio.com. Vick, you may have heard, doesn't have a great track record with dog ownership. A court order rule prohibits him from owning a canine.
But the Vick of today obviously views dog ownership in a different light than did the Vick of four years ago. "I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process. I think just to have a pet in my household and to show people that I genuinely care, and my love, and my passion for animals."
Strange as it is, Vick's dogfighting trial was one of the best things to ever happen to pit bulls. It pulled back the curtain on the heinous underground activity and brought about a wave of public awareness and sympathy for the animals. Vick's work with the Humane Society – including the work he has done not by legal obligation but by choice – has had a similar impact. And, perhaps most important, it has eliminated the pretext that dogfighting is simply part of back roads culture.
"I hate to use our culture as an excuse, but it is what it is and that's what happened and that's the way I thought about it growing up," Vick said. "This is just the way we were brought up."
Not anymore. Thanks to Vick, there isn't a person in America who sees dogfighting in shades of grey.

Michael Vick talks about owning a dog
People who do the things Vick did to dogs, shouldn't be allowed to own a dog.
For the record and just to make myself clear, I don't have a problem with that statement. Just because I defend Michael Vick doesn't mean I have a problem with somebody who is of the opinion he shouldn't own a dog ever again.
My problem is with people that think 2 years in a federal penitentiary wasn't enough when rapists and child molesters sometimes serve less. My problem is with people that think he shouldn't work in the NFL again because he hurt dogs.
Should he own a dog? I don't know, maybe it's too soon. Even people with violent crimes on their record don't always get banned from owning weapons for a lifetime. Sometimes it's a year, sometimes it's 5, sometimes they can't own a gun for 10 years. It's not always for life. People who have a drinking problem are rarely if ever banned from drinking for life, regardless of crimes they may have committed.
Do I harbor any bad feelings towards Vick for what he put my team
through at the end of his time here? Not any more
Good. You shouldn't because you know what? When Vick was there, your owner sucked at what he did. He surrounded Vick with NOTHING and only after he lost Vick did he make the proper changes that helped your team get to where they are today.
It took Vick leaving for your owner to hire the right coach. It took Vick leaving for the Falcons to replace THEIR ENTIRE OLINE... it took Vick leaving for the Falcons to sign a great running back and a great tight end and solid wide recievers.
Vick had NOTHING to work with.... your owner got complacent when Vick was there because he had some success and made money. Vick leaving woke your management up.... for that, you should thank Vick, not be bitter.

Michael Vick talks about owning a dog
Am I supposed to feel sorry for him?
StreeRat. It doesn't matter if you feel sorry for him or not because what you think doesn't matter. Here's the bottom line, I'll number these things for you since you're slow and it'll probably help you understand... make you come to grip with things a little better. Ready?
1) Michael Vick is not only back but he's here to stay. He's still young enough to play quite a few more years and fresh because he missed a couple. Like it or not, he's not going anywhere.
2) He doesn't care if you or others in this thread like him because you're in the minority. He's leading the NFL in voting for a game fans recognize great athletes... that's all that matters.
3) Although he lost a ton of money, he's still rich and will remain richer then you'll ever be. They let him keep more after his bankruptcy then you'll ever earn in your lifetime.
4) In the off season he's going to sign a MONSTER contract. The upfront money and first year alone in salary might be enough to completely pay off his creditors if he wants to go that route. The rest of the years in his contract will be his to keep....
5) Endorsements are on their way. In about a year Vick will be signing multi million dollar endorsement deals again. No question about it. I can't wait until you people start a thread about that when the time comes. Hell, Kobe Bryant SETTLED OUT OF COURT FOR A RAPE CHARGE yet only ONE YEAR LATER was the TOP SELLING ATHLETE IN ALL OF SPORTS !!!
You morons forgave Kobe for raping a girl because he wasn't convicted. What you forgot is that innocent people dont settle out of court with the accuser. Innocent people stand their ground and fight till death for their reputation.... yet Michael Vick hurts dogs and he's worse then somebody who raped a young lady while on the road and away from his wife and children??
Gotcha !! That makes sense !!!

Michael Vick talks about owning a dog
People who have a drinking problem shouldn't drink.
People who commit violent crimes with guns shouldn't be allowed to own a gun.
People who do the things Vick did to dogs, shouldn't be allowed to own a dog.
It's just how I feel. I've been a Falcons fan for over 20 years.
Been through bad seasons and good ones.
Do I harbor any bad feelings towards Vick for what he put my team
through at the end of his time here? Not any more, I did
while it was going on, but I'm proud of the way my team
has handled it and grown from it. While I don't necessarily
wish him the best, I pretty much don't really care how he does.
I just think he shouldn't be able to own a dog again.
Spacedinvader -- you are one of very few intelligent people posting in this thread. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Michael Vick talks about owning a dog
That shit stays with you NO matter where you move, or try changing your name! Especially a felony! I don't know what field of work your in but I sure in the hell wouldn't be able to get back my job after a felony charge.
You are full of crap. All of you Vick haters make it appear like every single good job out there requires a police clearance. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I know people making well into 6 figures that never got checked and a couple making good money with criminal records. Not all employers in all states are like you. If you're good at your job and have references to prove you know your work, you'll find a job in 99 percent of careers, even after going to jail. And if it's me or you in Vick's situation and nobody knows who we are, gambling charges from 2 or 3 years ago aren't going to prevent you from working if you know how to do an interview and work hard enough at finding another job.
And as far as Vick having it worst then if you or myself were in the situation....are you serious? I know ppl with misdemeanors that spent more time then 2 years. Vick got off easy!
No you don't. You don't know ANYBODY that got convicted of a misdemeanor and spent 2 years in a federal penitentiary... not even one. So quit trying to make a point using lies to do it. I'm smarter then that... actually I'm smarter then you are so don't try to put one by me. First time offenders charges with a misdemeanor rarely even see a jail cell for longer then one night let alone 2 years. Now, if you're talking about idiots that are repeat offenders then maybe... but that's not Vick. He wasn't a repeat offender so that's a different story. And I've known a couple of people and heard of many more that are repeat offenders and don't spend 2 years in jail combined for all of their offences in their lifetime.
Once again, pay attention. Before you respond keep reminding yourself that I'm smarter then you and that you are simply stupid. Don't respond with nonesense, it doesn't work with me. Maybe it would work with some other stupid friends of yours on these boards.. but not me.

Bodeezy. You are an idiot. Tom Brady hasn't won since "spygate" you said? You are such a moron it's not even funny. They got "caught" 3 games into the season. They went undefeated the rest of the way until they lost on a miracle play to the Giants. They proved they were just as good after as they were before. Brady missed the entire next season. The only other season was just last year when they won a ton of games but lost a gamwe in the playoffs. Brady's record is unbelievable, before and after "spygate". Moron.

I like grief on Town, farm, and Alcatraz. Alcatraz being my favorite by far. Played borough a few times and didn't care it. I really enjoy a good game of grief but too often it ends with half the people rage quitting. Obviously is was a MUCH better game mode than turned imo lol
Re: Grief PlayersRockker-1993 Jan 21, 2014 9:58 PM (in response to Zombiefaces)
Turned is an utter joke.
Alcatraz is my favorite too, but damn can it get a bit tough with Brutus popping up and resetting the round.

Rafa Santos (main photo), a young filmmaker, made a remark about his reason for getting theater actors for his films. But this irked some people from the showbiz industry, including the lead star of his Cinemalaya film, Samarito, Bea Garcia (inset).Photo: File photos
"Personally, I find the theater actors better to work with because they don't complain, you can feed them Sky Flakes three meals a day, and pay them in catfood, basically."
Ito ang kontrobersiyal na pahayag ng baguhang indie filmmaker na si Rafael "Rafa" Santos na umani ng batikos at "violent reactions," hindi lamang sa local theater community, kundi pati na sa ilang mga taga-showbiz industry. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)
Si Rafa Santos ay isang short film director na may entry sa forthcoming 7th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival, na gaganapin simula July 15, 2011 sa CCP theatres sa Roxas Blvd, Pasay City.
Ang short film niya ay pinamagatang Samarito, topbilled by theater actress Bea Garcia.
Si Bea ay lumabas na rin sa ilang indie movies tulad ng mga pelikula ni Jerrold Tarog, among others. Kasama rin siya sa cast ng Prey ni Brillante Mendoza.
Naganap ang panayam na iyon ni Rafa sa talk show na Cityscape ng ANC na ipinalabas noong June 24, Friday.
Kasama ni Rafa sa nasabing interview si Loy Arcenas, filmmaker ng full-length Cinemalaya entry titled Niño, at isa pang panauhin.
Na-post agad sa Facebook ang nasabing video at dito na nagsimulang rumagasa ang galit, disappointment, disgusto, at pagkondena ng mga theater and showbiz people sa inasal ni Santos sa nasabing panayam.
WHO IS RAFA? Sino nga ba si Rafael "Rafa" Santos?
Ayon sa kanyang profile bilang filmmaker sa Cinemalaya website:
"Rafa Santos was born Rafa Santos back in 1985 and has been growing ever since.
"1999: Rafa stops growing.
"2007: Rafa enters Marilou Diaz-Abaya Film Institute where, mentored over the next two years by the likes of Laurice Guillen, Mark Meily, the late Johnny Delgado and the venerable Marilou Diaz-Abaya herself, Rafa gains the ability and wherewithal to maybe someday make a Cinemalaya worthy movie.
"2011: Rafa finally makes a Cinemalaya worthy movie.

Widespread lockouts in metals sector - unionComment on this story
Lockouts in the metals and engineering sector were widespread and an estimated 200 companies had implemented them, the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) said yesterday.
Stephen Nhlapo, the union's national sector co-ordinator for basic metals and energy, said yesterday that Numsa had compiled reports of 30 lockouts in KwaZulu-Natal, 30 in Ekurhuleni and 34 in the Western Cape.
"This is in just three regions out of nine. We therefore estimate there may well be as many as 200 lockouts. Some employers do not say they are lockouts but simply tell the workers to return on Monday," Nhlapo said.
The National Employers Association of SA (Neasa) advised its member companies to implement lockouts of striking workers after it said it had been sidelined in the wage settlement to end the four-week strike in the sector.
The Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa) signed a three-year agreement with Numsa and five other unions that will increase wages for the lowest paid by 10 percent each year in that period.
Neasa did not sign the wage agreement, saying the increases were unaffordable and would lead to job losses.
It offered a wage increase of 8 percent across the board.
Numsa has threatened to picket at firms that implemented lockouts.
Gerhard Papenfus, the chief executive of Neasa, said yesterday that he did not want to reveal how many Neasa members had effected lockouts.
"All I can say is that 50 percent of our members who had responded said they had implemented the lockout. It is completely voluntary.
"I don't want to make too much of it. We are doing it for the good of the industry, not to pick a fight," he said.
Cosatu in the Western Cape has threatened to close down firms that effect the lockout, which it said was a ploy to force workers to accept slave wages.
Tony Ehrenreich, the provincial secretary, said Cosatu condemned Neasa for wanting companies to maintain the generational advantages of those who had benefited from apartheid.
"For those companies, both black and white, who think they can publicly show support for continued slave wages, Cosatu will do all that it can to close them down. There are many other companies that can fill the orders that these exploiters presently hold and we will negotiate to get our members moved to the new plants with the work orders that are going there," he said.
Ehrenreich said Cosatu would call for boycotts of those companies in the Western Cape that dared to lock out the federation's members. It would also focus on the directors' personal assets and connections.
He said: "The arrogance of those companies, who think they can advance a DA agenda in the Western Cape of undermining workers' rights, will be met with the full might of Cosatu." - Business Report

Closure For Billy Buck?
Former Cub Bill Buckner threw out the first pitch before the Red Sox home opener Tuesday against the Tigers. In a tearful press conference--lot of that going around this week--Buckner said he had finally been able to forgive the media for the brutal treatment he and his family had received following Buckner's fateful error in Game Six of the Sox' 1986 World Series loss to the Mets.
For a whole generation of fans, Buckner's connection to that Mookie Wilson-hit ground ball has obscured the fact that the guy was a terrific baseball player. The onetime Dodger played seven full seasons on the North Side after the Cubs had acquired him and Ivan DeJesus in a January, 1977 trade for Rick Monday.
Buckner played on some terrible Cub teams between '77 and '83, and he played for some terrible managers, including Herman Franks and Lee Elia. In fact, Buckner's first season with the Cubs was the only one in which the club finished .500. But Buckner hit better than .300 four times for the Cubs and won the NL batting title in '80 with a .324 mark. He managed to do that while limping around on chronically sore ankles that required extensive treatment and taping before each and every game.
The Cubs eventually traded Buckner to Boston in May of '84, a deal that opened up an opportunity for young Leon Durham to play first base full-time and brought Dennis Eckersley to Chicago. Durham and Eckersley were key figures in the Cubs' 1984 NL East championship. (Durham, of course, had an unfortunate post-season encounter of his own with a ground ball.)
Buckner was not as productive in Boston has he had been with the Cubs, though he did collect better than 100 RBI in his two full seasons with the Red Sox. Then Mookie Wilson happened to him. And the jokes. And the bitterness.
Buckner, who ended his 22-year career in 1990 with 2715 hits and a .289 lifetime average, was one of my favorite Cubs in the years he played here. And I am happy to see that on Tuesday in Fenway Park, where he received a long standing ovation as he hobbled out to the pitching mound to throw that ceremonial first pitch, Buckner seems to have closed a miserable chapter in an otherwise distinguished Major League career.
For the record, Buckner's numbers in his seven full seasons with the Cubs ('77--'83):
Buckner's contemporaries included the likes of Steve Garvey, Ken Griffey, Eddie Murray, Pete Rose, Robin Yount, and Dave Winfield. And in the years Buckner was a Cub, he had a higher batting average than all of them.

Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
And it's total BS he was even blamed for that game anyway. At the time he made the error, the game was tied anyway. No chance the Mets don't finish it off at that point. Bob Stanley and Rich Gedman were the real goats, and no one says boo about them. What an awful catcher Rich Gedman was.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Exactly right, just like it's stupid that Bartman is blamed for the game named after him. I thought it was great that Buckner got the reception that he did and was glad that he was able to get a little closure after 20+ years.
Billy Buck and Bartman
Buckner is easily in my favorite Cubs list.
Mike and Mike were trying to make the comparison between BB and Bartman this morning on ESPN (which reminded me why I stopped listening a couple of years ago. I was just flipping channels. honest!). They said something along the lines of "Hardcore Cubs fans still won't forgive Bartman." Idiots. From what I see, hardcore cub fans never blamed Bartman after that fateful game. Just the casual fans who needed talking points did.
Re: Billy Buck and Bartman
Who you calling casual, friend? I'm as die hard as they come and I still blame that motherfucker. You analysis is BULLSHIT.
Re: Billy Buck and Bartman
So you're on the fence, Chad?
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Yeah, the press can never just blame the team or a group of players or plays - it's always one guy as a scapegoat for a meltdown (see Bartman). I really like those ESPN shows "The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame ________" - they usually do a good job of showing that there is a great deal of suck and choke from a lot of people that went into those catostrophic collapses.
First Night Game!!
about time...day games are nice and all, but i'm ready for some end-of-the-day cubs baseball on TV.
btw...great bunch of articles posted lately, including this one.
Re: First Night Game!!
It's absurd, I haven't seen a first pitch yet this year. I haven't seen more than a few innings. Between crap going on over the weekend, the opening day blackout (seriously, wtf?), and all the day games I've pretty much missed the entire first week.
In fact, I would support a shorter MLB schedule if it meant:
* Starting the season in a little bit warmer weather.
* More night games.
* No blackouts.
And tonight the game is on CSN+, so I don't even know if I get it. Last year Ft. Wayne Fios TV didn't have CSN+, but I think they do this year. I'm not getting my hopes up, though, I think there's a conspiracy against me to prevent me from watching my Cubbies.
Okay, I'm done bitching.
Re: First Night Game!!
Now here's the way I understand this deal with providing CSN+. Since you're in the Cubs market (Ft. Wayne, Indiana I presume), I believe they are required to provide it to you. It shows up on my cable only on days when the Cubs or Sox are on CSN+. Any other day the channel doesn't exist.
As far as I know, games on WCIU are exempt from that, since it's not a cable channel.
Looking at the last week
Ok, so I went to look at the standings.
Notice a trend? Our pitching has been a real problem. Funny at face I thought we weren't hitting, but pitching seems to be a real issue. Looking at all the standings the common theme of 1st place teams is low runs against. We are very lucky to be over .500, this staff needs to get it straight. I thought bad weather schedules were suppose to help pitching?
Re: Looking at the last week
The only "trend" bothering me is Ted Lilly, and Bobby Howry.
OF those RA stats, they are probably responsible for 10-14 of those.
The team pretty much should be 5-2 now. But, I expect that they'll get back some of the games grabbed from the jaws of victory
when the team's other two stars start hitting, and when Theriot sits more.
Re: Looking at the last week
I think if Ted Lilly & Bob Howry had a bad week or even two weeks in July no one would think anything about it. Let's not panic yet.
Re: Looking at the last week
When was the last time a Cubs team had an offense that could carry their pitching? I'm liking it so far cos I know our pitching is good and it will come around.
Re: Looking at the last week
That block of code/table is definitely messing with the layout...
We probably just need to see the Runs Scored and Runs Against in order for you to make your point.
Re: Looking at the last week
can you edit past posts?
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
I believe that Darrell Johnston was the BoSox manager at the time, and he was the true idiot in this scenario. All year long he had used another 1st baseman as a defensive replacement for Buckner, but for this critical moment he leaves the poor guy in, gimpy legs and all. Predictably the ball ate Buckner up, and Johnston never offered a credible answer for his decision - nice way to throw your own player under the bus.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
John McNamara was the Bosox manager.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
YIKES -- I read the heading and thought I was being censored.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
if anyone is getting a free pass for 2003 it that stupid shortstop gonzalez i think,
he is the one who made the big error.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Gonzo error, Dusty sitting in the dugout while Prior labored, and Farnsworth serving up the back-breaking, 2-out, 3-run double to a dink-hitting Marlin (Mike Mordecai?) when the score was 4-3.
I'm sure Dusty thought he had no better option than Prior -- given what happened to Farnsworth, he was probably right.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Not to mention the poor pitch selection following the Bartman incident. As I recall, Prior had two strikes on Castillo and was trying to finish him off by blowing fastballs by him, which Castillo was barely getting a piece of him. For some reason, though Castillo was clearly barely staying alive, Prior or Miller decided to deviate from the string of fastballs, and Prior bounced a curveball to walk Castillo and let Pierre get to third. The inning devolved from there.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
if anyone is getting a free pass for 2003 it that stupid shortstop gonzalez
Yep. It was a "tailor made" double-play ball.
It also didn't help that Dusty sat on his ass in the dugout after the Bartman play, when he should have gone out and calmed his pitcher down. And Prior lacked the mental toughness to ignore the play and just pitch.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
We were never turning two on that play.
Dusty Baker Says He Begged Cubs For One More Year
And they flatly turned him down.
"Not much about him has changed. Baker still drops Hank Aaron's name every few minutes, and says "big-time" at least once every sentence. He still walks through the clubhouse and calls his players "dude" and "homie." He still chomps on toothpicks and passes out unsolicited advice."
In case this isn't 3/44 ...
Re: Dusty Baker Says He Begged Cubs For One More Year
I'm personally glad to hear he's the same "O.G." as he used to be.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
I think the moral to the Billy Buck and Bartman stories is that getting angrier at the guys who are involved in the mistake made in a game than the people who hound them and their family afterward is ridiculous. Bartman made the dumb mistake of reaching for that ball, just like a bunch of other people in the stands, and Buckner's body failed him on the ground ball, but it was malicious to hound these guys.

Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
I blame Bartman more than Gonzalez. :P
If Alou makes that catch, Gonzo doesn't have to rush to try to turn two and he doesn't make that error. :P :P
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Well according to KJK in an above post, you and are are only casual fans who are looking for talking points.
Re: Marshall Up, Piggy Down
Re: Marshall Up, Piggy Down
Looks like I can retire my tagline.
Re: Marshall Up, Piggy Down
"Cubs recall Marshall, send Pignatiello down
April 9, 2008 Recommend
The Cubs recalled Sean Marshall from Class AAA and assigned Carmen Pignatiello.
Marshall becomes the Cubs' only left-handed reliever."
What a dumb line. He becomes the Cubs' only left-handed reliever? He replaced a left handed reliever.

Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
After the Bartman thing, people would always ask me what I thought, while telling me that it wasn't Bartman's fault the Cubs lost.
I agree. It was not Bartman's fault. HOWEVER, that incident changed the complexion of the inning, and even Bartman's staunchest defenders can't deny that.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
i think non-cubs fans loved it and followed it more than cubs fans.
bartman right or bartman wrong most cubs fans i ran into found it stupid/unfortunate/etc. but generally just in passing.
many other team's fans jumped on it as if bartman ran onto the field and took alou's knees out with a baton.
Z, prior, wood...couldn't get it done.
agonz plays a full season with hardly an error and makes the error of his career...
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
i also blame dusty for not going to a starter out of the pen in game 7
instead we had dave veres i think in there while marlins manager
used josh beckett,needless to say dusty was once again out managed.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
what starter?
wood + farns (who was an ace pen guy in 03) gave up all the runs in the game.
veres+crew pitched like 2ip for 0er.
what other move should have been made? bringing in a 110 pitch Z to pitch for farns...who was one of the team's best pen men?
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
It's what Hank Aaron would have done.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
since i think dempster is gonna win 15 games this year
here is my prediction 6.1 innings 3 earned runs i see
a 5 to 4 game .
hopefully my prediction is a little closer than the

Making the NLCS with a young team = "crapping out of the playoffs with a young team."
I'm guessing 3/30 and all the two foot long hot dogs you can eat didn't work
Yes! In a 12-way tie for first!
Blew my prediction! I had them signing Zimmerman and trading for another arm.
Damn wanted Zimmermann
Yeah, this market. Remember when Ted Lilly signed a 4/$40m with the Cubs? It was like "Well, I guess if you can throw a ball, that's what the 3 and 4 starters are all getting." I'm glad I'm not a GM. Of course, they're spending our money...
in this market that seems like a decent deal relative to the market.
given that d.price will probably get 30m-ish a year, 22m for 29yo zimm doesn't seem bad. i wouldn't complain about him suiting up for the cubs. one less option gone...
Zimmermann 5/$110m with Tigers. Youch.
And the updated predications page: http://bit.ly/1NWlEek
Cubs 3B Christian Villanueva (who is out of minor league options) is hitting 358/464/500 for Obregon in the Mexican Pacific League (LMP), and is leading the LMP in OBP, is second in BAvg and walks, is seventh in SLG, and is tied for 8th in HR. He also has struck out only 16 times in 175 PA.
CTSteve, thanks for spelling Zimmermann correctly. We don't need another first baseman.
The media has linked Cueto and the Cubs approximately zero times this winter. I'm thinking there's just not a lot of interest there on the Cubs' part. It seems unlikely.
If the Cubs miss on Price, Grienke, and Zimmerman, they will aim for a mid-rotation starter via free agency or trade. However, I think this scenario also significantly boosts the odds that they extend Arrieta.
The Tigers are going after Zimmermann and the Red Sox will be throwing money at Price. Bringing Cueto back to the NL with the Cubs is looking like a serious possibility. Thoughts?
Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe in the financial impact to the Red Sox for not signing Jon Lester early in the free agent process:
It will be interesting to ultimately add up the cost of letting Jon Lester go.
The Red Sox botched up their negotiations with Lester in during spring training of 2014, making an initial offer of $70 million that was roughly $40 million short of what it should have been. Talks broke down and Lester was traded in July.
Wait...you're flip-flopping again?!
Is this legal? What is the rule here on opining definitively and then changing your mind?
I am not only surprised at your declaration, but Cutler's better 2015 showing. I don't get it - he went through Martz, Turner, Trestman, Kromer, and now Gase...and he is still here! And. he'll be here mext year too.
Happ signs w Jays
Morsi saying Price won't be a Jay

Indiana State Police are investigating two recent armed robberies at White River State Park.
The first incident happened shortly before 9 p.m. Feb. 13. The victim told police he was on his cell phone while sitting on a stone along the canal walk way when a male suspect approached him, pointed a gun at him and demanded his money, police said.
The second happened about a week and a half later, at about 2:45 p.m. Feb. 22. The victim, an Indianapolis ...

Are You Winning The War?
Article Date:
Copyright (C) 2007 Associated Equipment Distributors. All Rights Reserved.
It may be time to reexamine your strategies for recruiting and retaining employees.
Year after year, dealers who face the task of recruiting and retaining highly motivated and skilled employees may feel they're fighting an uphill battle. But the construction equipment distribution industry is about people, so if you struggle with recruitment and retention, perhaps it's time to rethink your strategy for "winning the war."
Christine Corelli, author and founder of Christine Corelli & Associates, says it's a company's human capital that holds the key to sustainable, long-term growth.
"Businesses don't do business – people do," says Corelli. "They create the force that ensures an organization's successful future."
From finding ways to improve productivity to building customer loyalty, it's your employees who hold the solutions to move your dealership forward.
"In the end, the success of your business does not hinge on the quality of your equipment, your brilliant strategic plan, your marketing and advertising sense or the power of your machinery," says Corelli. "What matters most is that you are profitable, have happy employees and provide jobs to your community. To accomplish this you must be surrounded with quality employees who help carry you into a successful future."
So how do you find the best and brightest? Take time to put structures in place for recruitment and retention and these two reoccurring "battles" won't seem as looming as before.
Battle I: Recruitment
Identify Your Candidates
Hiring the wrong person for a job can cost as much as half of their first year's compensation; that's why it's important to determine the type of candidate you need and where you might find them.
After creating a job description defining the primary tasks and responsibilities for the open position, determine the qualities you're looking for in your ideal candidate. It may be helpful to consider the qualities your best employees have.
"Hiring and Keeping the Best People," published by the Harvard Business Review maintains it's the candidate's personal characteristics that will tell you how a person will approach the job. Before you interview, itemize the characteristics that fit the job:
Analytical and creative abilities – A candidate's abilities in these areas will determine how he or she assesses problems and determines how to solve them.
Decision-making ability – Is a particular decision-making style required? Is it ok if they make decisions based on intuition, or would you rather have someone who is more structured and analytical in their thinking?
Interpersonal skills – Think about the tasks this person will perform. Which traits will translate into good performance?
Motivation – The candidate's personal goals, interests, energy level and job progression often demonstrate the level of motivation.
Understand what attracts these highly motivated quality people to choose one organization over another. Put yourself in their shoes. Money talks, but quality employees evaluate more than just salary when looking for a new job.
According to Corelli, some of the top attractions are:
Compensation – A competitive wage is very important
Bonuses – Provide bonuses tied to dealer profit, team achievement and/or certification
Benefits – Health, dental, short-term disability, life insurance, 401K, tuition reimbursement
Perks – A pickup for personal use
Work/life balance – Flextime is always a plus. If you demonstrate a respect for this delicate balance, you'll attract quality people and obtain a higher level of performance
Opportunity to learn and grow – High-quality employees thrive on learning new skills and expanding their responsibilities
Reward and recognition – Quality people want to be recognized and valued for their hard work. Rewards should be cash and gifts for individual performance
Training and development – Allow your employees to hone their skills
Where To Look
First look inside your dealership, promoting from within whenever possible. If you have an established leadership development process, you likely have a candidate in your dealership.
If no one is ready to assume the job that's open, your best employees are still your best bet for finding high-quality employees. Implement an employee referral program.
"Your employees have a stake in the continued success of the organization," says Christopher W. Pritchard in "101 Strategies for Recruiting Success." "Logically, therefore your employees can be a powerful recruiting source."
Pritchard suggests when formulating an employee recruitment program that you offer clear, concise instructions, offer incentives, time-stamp every submission and tie incentives to a clearly defined retention period. And then follow up.
"Your employees will feel justifiably upset if you drop the ball and fail to follow up on their referrals," he says. "Keep things simple, well-organized and well-executed."
Employees who have left your company on good terms are another great resource. At the exit interview, ask if you can contact your departing employee in the future for referrals. Then keep in touch with them.
If that fails, advertising online and in local newspapers are great ways to find employees, but they aren't the only ways. Most companies by now have realized the advantages of online recruiting. The Internet allows you to cast a larger net when looking for a new employee and your web pages are available 24/7. The large Internet recruiting sites are a great place to put your ad, but your message could get lost in the crowd: Target smaller sites and place a link on your website to allow users to submit resumes directly to you.
The AED Foundation can help when it comes to online recruitment. AEDworkforce.com, a free service available exclusively to AED members, hosts applications from technicians across the country. Here you'll find transitioning military personnel, post-secondary technical school graduates, and others whose technical skills and knowledge translate into a heavy equipment technician career path.
Technician applicants on the site come from many backgrounds, have varying levels of experience, and may be from related industries such as auto, truck, and aircraft. AED member dealers can search the listings and contact applicants directly. In addition, once you register on the website, the names of new technician applicants in your area will be automatically emailed to you.
Pritchard also suggests:
Placing an ad in a church/synagogue bulletin
Running an ad in the high school football team's season program
Placing a "we're hiring" message in the Welcome Wagon
Sponsoring a summer internship
Connecting with your local technical school and/or the military
Battle II: Retention
Create A Great Environment
You searched high and low, interviewed dozens of candidates and viola! You found the best person for the job. Congratulations. Now your top priority is to keep them.
To get your new hire off to a good start make sure you're ready for them to begin working for your company. Make them feel welcome. And team them up with a long-term employee that can give them the lay of the land and be an ongoing resource.
Build a sense of community within your office. Not only will this help keep your employees on the right track, it will be a great teambuilding experience. Some suggestions:
Celebrate birthdays and work anniversaries
Reward, reward, reward
Create company sports teams
Hold family and company picnics and outings
Support local charities with company volunteer groups
Keep communication open
Develop a mentoring program
Have productive meetings
Have an employee of the month/ year award
Give gift cards for great performance
Don't Be A Bad Boss
The number one reason employees leave is management.
"If they're working for a boss who doesn't respect them or treat them well, they'll look elsewhere for employment," says Corelli. She recommends adopting a zero tolerance policy for bad bosses.
According to Corelli, bad bosses display these negative behaviors:
Micromanager/ bureaucratic management style – Quality employees need little supervision. If their leader micromanages, quality employees feel as though they aren't trusted or respected.
Insincerity – A leader who gives lip service will lose the trust of quality employees looking for an open, honest leader who will follow through on commitments.
Do as I say, not as I do – If a leader insists employees treat customers well then that same leader should treat his/her employees well.
Incompetence – Nothing frustrates a good employee more than ineptitude.
Inaccessibility – Whether a manager intentionally brushes off employee concerns or is too busy, the message is the same: The leader doesn't care enough about people to give them the attention and respect they deserve.
Tolerates underperformers – If a leader thinks he/she can avoid dealing with a weak employee because the work is getting done, they're setting themselves up for far worse problems.
Unappreciative – Quality employees want to hear praise.
Unequal distribution of work –
Bad bosses have a tendency to punish employees for good performance by giving them more than their share of the work.
No conflict resolution – A good leader heads off problems or works quickly to resolve them. Bad bosses
do not.
Delegates task, takes credit – Quality employees will not tolerate a boss who does not give them credit for their hard work.
"Whether you like it or not, it's always up to the leaders in the organization to provide the motivation and set the tone for a positive attitude, strong work ethic, team spirit and quality work," says Corelli.
According to authors of "The Management Bible," Bob Nelson and Peter Economy, you get what you reward. "When you reward certain kinds of behavior – whether it's good or bad for the organization – that's what you'll get more of."
Rewarding your employees with anything from verbal praise to cash rewards and extra vacation days will ensure you're getting the results you're looking for and you'll have happy employees.
"Employees don't leave their personal lives at home when they head to work each morning," writes Pritchard. "They need to feel safe and valued. We tend to have little difficulty finding ways to ask our employees to improve performance. 'Catching' them doing something right is a simple but effective way to convey that we also recognize their positive contributions."
According to The Management Bible, cash isn't a motivator.
"To motivate employees, managers need to recognize and reward achievements and progress toward goals by employees on a daily basis," write Nelson and Economy.
What motivates?
Praise: Whether personal, written, electronic or public, your employees yearn for praise. This small act ensures that the good results will continue.
Support and involvement: Employees want to know how they are doing in their jobs. Involving them in decisions and supporting their mistakes increases their commitment and ease when working and making changes.
Autonomy and authority: Allow your employees to do their best job. Let them decide how to get the job done. This is the ultimate form of recognition because it shows you trust them to act in your best interest.
Flexible working hours: Time is the new currency. More than 80 percent of workers want more time with their families. Accommodate this with flexible hours.
Learning and development: Employees value learning opportunities in which they can gain skills that will enhance their worth and marketability.
Manager availability and time: Taking time with employees is of the utmost importance, especially in today's busy environment. It's critical for long-term relationship building.

Like the Mongol hordes of old, Ted Nugent will sometimes accept tribute in lieu of destroying your town.
A Texas town was so intent on ridding themselves of the Motor City Madman that city officials opted to pay out more than $15,000 to have Ted Nugent not play on the Fourth of July.
Longview was in negotiations to have Nugent play at the Fireworks and Freedom Celebration on Independence Day, but backed out after Nugent called President Obama a "subhuman mongrel" while campaigning with Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott earlier this year.
According to city spokesman Shawn Hara, Longview had other concerns that led to Nugent being paid $16,250 to end contract negotiations. The amount was half of Nugent's guaranteed performance fee.

The opening week for the Independent Interscholastic Athletic Association of Guam Softball League continued yesterday as the George Washington Geckos and the Guam High Panthers made their season debuts.
The Geckos were able to start their season out in impressive fashion as they earned a 15-4 road victory over the Panthers.
The Geckos took control early on, using a leadoff triple by Coleen Quinata to spur them on the way to a six-run inning in the top half of the first inning. From there the Geckos' defense, led by a strong effort by starting pitcher Ritanna Pocaigue, took over and shut down the ...

Thursday, January 03, 2013 2:36 PM ReplyCan this be used for operating a remote mouse on a Linux DVR?
Saturday, January 05, 2013 11:24 AM ReplyDo you know this for a fact ie from experience with this unit? I ask because I have tried a number of these extenders and they DON'T work because they only contain Windows drivers.
There are units on the market which do work with Unix but they are very expensive.

I've tried two or three extenders on Linux and they didn't work and I then used them on Windows XP without issue. I got them on DX a couple of years ago so they are possibly the same ones on sale now. I may be wrong but I think they load their own drivers when you connect them. What I have done is use cat5 to extend the usb cable and I've managed around 10m at most and the mouse movement is a bit jerky.
I've tried them on three different Linux DVRS. Anteco, Provision and Dahua.

Re your comment on USB mice. I've tried many different types and some work and some don't. If you don't believe me and you have access to a DVR, try it for yourself if your interested. The same goes for wireless mice.
Another fact is that the extenders I have tried did not work on the three different DVRs I tried them on.
Whether the reason is low power or limited functionality of the embedded Linux is not really relevant. The bottom line is that they don't work.
It's not so strange to use a mouse remotely from a system with a remote screen. It't much more reliable than using a pc or tablet on wifi, less cost, more immediate, less exposure to equipment theft etc etc

The title was not misleading at all. I was asking if the unit works on Linux. You shouldn't have answered if it upsets you so much.
