Welcome to click click, the sporadic review of what I find worth clicking on the internet.
Photographs of tailors at Henry Poole, 1944, courtesy of For Reference Only. Hat tip to Grumpy's tumblr.
- BRITTICISMS – a favourite tumblr feed, full of thoughtful personal vignettes and pop culture reflection. I've been listening and loving my way through her generous MIXICISMS music collection.
- Crustypunks – portraits, personalities and philosophy from the marginal inhabitants of New York City's Tompkins Square Park.
- 142 Minutes with Cat Marnell – a rehab-bound beauty editor talks about the bond between product and addiction. Via this sensitive post on The Beheld.
- Babes At The Museum – a blog full of pretty, culturally-minded girls at museums. Lovely and slightly squicky, though I can't decide whether the squick factor is due to stalker-ish overtones or my own latent desire to be a museum babe. Also, why no boys on exhibit? Via Who Is Bobb Parris.
- Chinese craze for English tattoos – I do adore all the lost-in-translation trends emerging out of the chaos of globalization.
- Is Facebook Making Us Lonely – this is one of those must-read articles for every internet citizen. Considering how much of the web is a tangle of human neuroses is becoming an important part of understanding how to use this million-edged tool. Related, and even more unsettling: Malwebolence.
Karma for clickers –
- Winkball – a little video of me talking about my scrubby Saturday outfit in Broadway Market. Watching myself on video is as excruciating as ever, maybe because this is way too accurately depicting the way I am.
- Safra On Style – "I'm on the computer 10 hours a day, and I read fashion magazines for 6. I also write for magazines, and, oh, yeah, I'm a fashion editor of some sort."
- 22/8 – "love the way the flash of colour works against tailored wardrobe pieces in dark colours"
- my style canvas – "As long as I can remember I've loved to draw girls in great outfits–guys sometimes too."

Jackson Walker Wins Victory for Clients in High-Profile Fracking Case
On July 25, 2013, Jackson Walker L.L.P. won a decisive victory for its clients when a Parker County District Court Judge granted summary judgment and dismissed all claims against Jackson Walker's clients and ordered that the plaintiffs take nothing in a high–profile lawsuit involving horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing ("fracking").
Jackson Walker represented the "Silverado on the Brazos" real–estate development, its individual owners, and other clients in the case styled Steven and Shyla Lipsky vs. Range Resources and Silverado on the Brazos Development Co. #1 Ltd., et al. The Lipskys alleged that horizontal drilling and fracking under the Parker County development caused their water well to be contaminated with natural gas. Mr. and Ms. Lipsky have been featured prominently in the news media and in the recently released HBO documentary Gasland Part II.
In the lawsuit, the Lipskys alleged breach of contract, violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA), common law fraud, statutory fraud, fraudulent concealment, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference, conspiracy, gross negligence, and malice. The Lipskys sought $4.5 million in alleged actual damages, $2 million for alleged "mental pain, humiliation, and embarrassment," treble damages under the DTPA, plus exemplary damages for alleged gross negligence and malice, and their attorneys' fees and costs.
At the hearing on its motion for summary judgment, Jackson Walker successfully argued on behalf of the Silverado on the Brazos development that the Lipskys' claims were barred by the statute of limitations and that the plaintiffs had no credible evidence to substantiate their claims. Jackson Walker attorneys Albon Head, Sara Abbott McEown, and Amanda Bush represented the Silverado Defendants in the case. The motion and briefing were drafted by Ms. Bush and Ms. McEown, and Mr. Head argued the motion.

Arapahoe Basin made a big announcement today on the eve of its 60th anniversary.
The rustic ski area has won permission to nearly double its terrain.
Earlier this season A-Basin snatched the title of first ski area in the nation to open.
It beat out nearby Loveland for bragging rights when it opened October 13th.
A-Basin spokeswoman Leigh Hierholzer says things just keep going forward for what had been one of the smallest ski areas in the state.
Hierholzer says a new lift serving Montezuma Basin should be completed this summer if there are no problems.

This Week's Hits: BBC Joke, Asian Cup, Toyota Recall
A recap of the most-read posts on Japan Real Time this week.
1. A U.K. audience howled when a BBC comedy quiz show deemed a Japanese man the unluckiest man in the world, but Japan was miffed. That's because the man down on his luck was Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who survived the U.S. atomic bombing of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
2. Speculation about the successor to Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld videogame system has been swirling around the gaming community for months. It's no wonder thousands tuned in to read JRT's live blog dealing the blow by blow at Sony's PS event Thursday when the company finally unveiled the anticipated device.
3. Japan's muted performance at the Asian Cup in Qatar finally caught fire when the national soccer team faced off against archrival South Korea. There's nothing like a good old-fashioned rivalry to rock a tournament to life.
4. Toyota is the world's biggest car maker by sales numbers. But after an announcement to recall nearly 1.3 million cars in Japan, it now claims the ignominious distinction of issuing the two biggest single recalls by a domestic car maker in Japan.
5. The incoming chief executive of Shiseido said the cosmetics giant is eyeing China as a burgeoning well of future profits as part of the company's long-term growth strategy. If so, the young leader shouldn't overlook the men. China's market for men's products is set to grow at five times the rate of its North American counterpart leading up to 2014, according to a recent report.

Additional volunteers sought for Citizens on PatrolBy: Stephanie Dumm News Messenger Reporter
The Lincoln Police Department's Citizen on Patrol Program is looking for more volunteers to be the department's "eyes and ears" on the street. On July 14, the program celebrated its ninth year of providing volunteer bike and vehicle patrol, as well as staffing for the department's front counter, according to volunteer coordinator Rich Ragan. On Wednesday, nine new volunteers were added to the team during a "swearing-in and pinning ceremony" at City Hall, according to Ragan. That brings the total number of volunteers to 36. "This means an additional presence on our city streets and help in the police department's front office," Ragan said. "We are actively pursuing more people." Ragan said he'd like to see at least "45 to 50" resident volunteers, who are asked to give at least four hours of their time a week. "We do low-profile, non-enforcement activity. We do tasks that don't need to be done by a police officer," Ragan said. "We don't do enforcement. We are the eyes and ears of the department and our safety is critical." Volunteers can serve in there areas: bike patrol, vehicle patrol and staffing the police department's front counter. By bike, volunteers travel Lincoln's 11 miles of bike and nature trails, 15 parks and also Lincoln's schools to both interact with the public and report "suspicious activity." If suspicious activity or an emergency is spotted, Ragan said the volunteers don't get involved but either radio police dispatch or call dispatch by phone, depending on the situation. Vehicle patrol also provides a variety of services, according to Ragan, including transporting official documents to the District Attorney's office and picking up mail from City Hall and delivering it to the police and fire stations. The volunteers also provide traffic control and patrol perimeters during incidents such as vehicle collisions and fires, and events such as parades, Ragan said. Vacation checks are done by Citizens on Patrol volunteers. They check windows and doors and move newspapers out of driveways for residents who request the checks, Ragan said. "If there is an unlocked window or door, we call an officer," Ragan said. "We avoid unsafe conditions." Having regular volunteers to staff the department's front counter would mean residents can walk in and receive help with filing police reports and getting information, said Lincoln Police Chief Paul Shelgren. Starting next week, Shelgren said, the front office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. "They can take property crime reports where there are no suspects and help people with online reports," Shelgren said. "It gives citizens better access. They can see a person, talk one-on-one and have their needs addressed." Parking enforcement will start happening again once "we get more volunteers trained," Shelgren said. "They will help with limited time parking enforcement," Shelgren said. "They can write tickets." Having the Citizens on Patrol program "helps keep our limited resources on the street, doing priority calls," according to Shelgren. What Ragan likes about volunteering is "giving back to the community, making a professional contribution and working with a lot of great people." "We are the eyes and ears, increasing the police department's presence. On the streets of Lincoln or in the cars, we are seen as police enforcement," Ragan said. "Our presence is an additional enforcement activity." The Lincoln News Messenger profiles a nonprofit organization every week.

When is it ok to let a baby cry?
My daughter is almost a month old. I breastfeed every 2-3 hours. She usually goes to sleep when she's done eating. If she's really tired she'll stay asleep when I put her in her bassinet. Sometimes she'll wake up crying, but she goes back to sleep when I pick her up. During the day we put her on a play mat or in her bouncer (We don't have a swing yet). She usually starts crying about a minute later until she gets picked up. The pacifier helps, but she spits it out every few minutes. I feel bad when I have to do something like fix a meal or go to the bathroom, and I hear her crying in her bassinet. My husband helps out in the evening I love holding my baby, but I also have a three-year-old to take care of. He was more easygoing as a baby. He didn't cry very often, and he was content most of the time...I feel unmotivated to do anything, like start laundry because I know that my baby will cry until I pick her back up.

At that age, it's recommended to pick them up every time they cry. But you are human -- if you want to go to the bathroom alone or start a load of laundry, do it! I wouldn't make a habit of it, but crying for a few seconds once in a while is not going to kill her. I wore my second child a lot so I could get things done with my toddler. I had a ring sling when he was an infant and a soft carrier (mei tai style) when he was older. He napped against me and I could chase my older one, read her a book, or cook a meal. The only time I ever left him to cry, other than the occasional bathroom trip if I was on my way when he woke up from a nap in the Pack N Play, was when I was lifting my older one out of the bath, because I just couldn't do it safely with the two of them. It broke my heart but we all got through it.posted 04/30/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

We've got great news! As of December 3rd 2012, we have dropped the price of Story Plus from $24.99 USD/month to $9.99USD/month (with comparable price reductions in all other regions). You can purchase a Story Plus subscription here.
Why such a big change? We want you to use Story Plus! We think it's the best possible solution for anyone making media, particularly if you're working on scripted films, television, and other types of video content. The writing tools in Story are great, but the real power comes from integrating your scripts into a powerful scheduling engine that can also generate extremely useful production reports. Script changes? No problem—all you have to do is synch your schedule, then refresh your reports, which is a lot faster and easier than making all of those changes manually. Story Plus is unique in that it combines screenwriting with scheduling, and we're finding that once folks start using it, they're hooked.
Here's a quick link to the feature comparison page that highlights the differences between Story Free and Story Plus: http://adobe.ly/OSjzlc
If you're currently a Story Plus subscripter paying for a month-to-month subscription, you don't need to do anything—we'll just be charging you less every month going forward.
Did you purchase an annual subscription to Story Plus? We've got you covered too. While we will no longer be offering the pay-up-front annual subscription option, any current annual subscriptions will run their course as expected, and you don't have to take any action at all. And because we appreciate your early vote of confidence in the future of Adobe Story, we're extending all of the Story Plus annual subscriptions by 6 months at no cost—which means that you're effectively getting the new lower price for the duration of your subscription.
We're excited about Story's bright future, and we'd love to have everyone using Story Free tap into the power of the feature we have in Story Plus. More to follow! And as always, you can create a new Story Free account or log into your account at https://story.adobe.com.Share


text: ModMyPi: how one student turned over £867,000 selling Raspberry Pi cases Business 23 August 13 by Kadhim Shubber Jacob Marsh Last year, Jacob Marsh was 23 years old and in the final year of his Civil Engineering Masters degree at Exeter University. He hadn't previously shown any entrepreneurial zeal and was set on a relatively safe and straightforward career building bridges.But on 29 February 2012, the Raspberry Pi Computer went on sale and Marsh's life was changed forever. His company, ModMyPi, turned over £867,000 in the year leading up to March 2013 and he's on course to hit £1.3 million this financial year."I wasn't a business person when I started," he tells Wired.co.uk. "I'd probably call myself a business person now."Now 24, Marsh's story demonstrates the transformative power of technologies like the Raspberry Pi and the crucial need to support small businesses and young entrepreneurs, and not just in Silicon Roundabout. "I was one of the people who was up at 5am in the morning, frantically bashing F5 on the keyboard trying to get my hands on [a Raspberry Pi]," he recalls. The demand that morning crashed the sites selling the Raspberry Pi."You don't you crash two of the biggest electronic manufacturers in the world's websites if there aren't a lot of people trying to get their hands on [your product]," says Marsh, with obvious admiration (ModMyPi donates 5 percent of profits to the Raspberry Pi Foundation).He and his friends at Exeter were typical techies and the Raspberry Pi captured their imaginations, in the same way it did for millions worldwide. Their discussions quickly led to the fact that the Pi ships as a bare circuit board and within weeks Marsh had designed and prototyped a case, and set up a website for pre-orders. Jacob Marsh The first prototype case was 3D-printed on a friend's £300 hand-built desktop 3D printer. "All the parts [of the printer] were also 3D printed," he notes.Despite recognising the obvious demand for Raspberry Pi Computers, Marsh didn't fully appreciate the demand for such a simple idea like a case. "I thought we're going to sell 20," he remembers. "In the first two days […] we had 300 pre-orders."3D printing is definitely a miracle of modern technology, but what it definitely isn't is a tool for mass-producing anything. Marsh was out of his depth.Without business mentoring, without support and without a better way of making his cases, his business was going nowhere. Luckily for him, Exeter University is part of SETsquared, a business support network formed by the universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey."I went to them and said, 'look I've got a product here, people are already buying it, help me'," he says. He joined SETsquared's incubator programme, found a company that would create the cases by injection molding, and by summer 2012 was shipping his cases internationally. "All the support I had available was key to moving me from just having an idea in my head to having a product to being able to sell it on a proper platform."Marsh now has three full-time and two part-time employees, and ModMyPi does more than just selling cases. "[The market has] become saturated now -- we've moved away from manufacturing [cases]. We've built a distribution platform around the Raspberry Pi."It's almost 18 months since the release of the Raspberry Pi. Marsh is a business person instead of a civil engineer, and as well as a company built off the success of the Pi, he has three Raspberry Pis at home.He uses one as a home media centre, another he uses to test the third-party products he sells on ModMyPi.com and the third he's set up as "a little retro gaming console"."I've managed to get Doom running on it," he says. "Quake as well.""Running a business like this is a hobby as well as a job," he says. Now read: The life of Pi: how Britain's biggest hardware hit for a generation came to be Latest on wired.co.uk

Kat O'Brien talked to Jorge Posada about his return from last season's injury:
"I have three more years, counting this year, with the contract," said Posada, 37. "We'll see after that. I would like to catch those three years. Obviously, I can't play first base [with Mark Teixeira there]. I want to prepare myself every year that I can catch. I love catching. I love being behind the plate. I love being in charge……"
Posada is off to a good start at the plate, hitting .286 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 13 games. He has a .357 on-base percentage and .571 slugging percentage.
Said Posada: "My biggest thing is I have to be prepared. Every year I want to get better, I want to improve myself. So when I go in the offseason, that's my main focus."
Before the season began, I suggested that Jorge Posada was quite possibly the most important cog on the 2009 Yankees:
Jorge Posada is the one player that the Yankees cannot afford to lose. He is likely to bat 5th in the order, buttressing a lower half of the order that has plenty of question marks. His backup is good with the glove but so abysmal with the stick as to make him a drain on the team when he plays too frequently. Due to the Yankees added depth at outfield and first base, they are certainly more equipped to deal with the loss of their other injury concern, Hideki Matsui. Ultimately, the health of Jorge may be a major factor in deciding who wins the AL East.
Brian Cashman had similar feelings on the issue:
He's feisty, he's hungry and he wants to win. He doesn't get enough credit for the leadership he has in that clubhouse. He is intense. We missed him both on that field and in that clubhouse last year.
Losing Wang and the way our pitching went last year was devastating. But our biggest loss was Jorge Posada."
Jorge's quick start has been, in my eyes, the most important development for the Yankees over the season's first weeks. It allows the Yankees to tread water without A-Rod and gives the lineup excellent depth once Alex returns. Hopefully he can remain healthy and settle into the 5 spot for the duration of the year.
There was one other interesting quote from Jorge:
"Yogi Berra and Thurman Munson and Elston Howard and Bill Dickey . . . I don't belong to that group," Posada said. "Yes, I want to be like them and I would love to some day belong to that group. But right now, I feel like they are immortal. I'm very content that I've been here so many years and that I've been given the opportunity to be here. I feel very proud of putting on this uniform each day."
A while ago, I quoted the following from THT:
Jorge Posada may not be the most glamorous offensive player, but his high-OBP, grind-it out game has been a key element in the Yankees' success over his career. Posada's prime, at eight years, is a little on the light side—without his monster 2007 season, he'd clearly be an also-ran, and it doesn't help him that his first year as a full-time starter was the last one of the Yankees' postseason dominance, or that Posada has not put up good numbers overall in October.
But his offensive game, for a guy who was a durable catcher for eight seasons and never has a serious off year, is solid. Posada's success against base thieves has been less than impressive (slightly worse than league average) despite a reputation as a guy with a good arm. He'll be a legitimate contender for the Hall even if he isn't able to have a second act behind the plate beginning in 2009.
Jorge has been overshadowed for much of his career by flashier stars and more exciting names. However, he has quietly put together a decent Hall of Fame case. What do you think of his chances? Does he belong?

DIY Photography Hacks: make a table-top studio for easy still life photography
In our latest DIY Photography Hacks post, find out how to use a few common items from around the house to make a simple table-top studio that's perfect for still life photography.
This week in DIY Photography Hacks we'll take you step-by-step through a project that'll help you unleash your creativity.
Using nothing more than a camera, a flashgun and a sheet of black velvet, we'll reveal how to make the perfect table-top studio for your still life photography and other creative photo projects at home.
We'll take you step-by-step through the process of setting up your mini makeshift table-top studio, which takes no time at all once you identify the items you need.
For our project we shot smoke trails, but you can tailor your table-top studio to shoot just about anything!
How to set up your DIY table-top studio
Take control
For ultimate control over your exposure, switch the camera and flash to Manual, and shoot in raw format. When you're working in a controlled environment there's no need to rely on your camera's automatic and semi-automatic modes. In fact, they can get in the way and start trying to alter your exposure when you don't want them to.
Manual focus
Switch your lens to manual focus. It's really difficult to focus on moving smoke against a black background, as we were trying to do, so autofocus will search backwards and forwards for something to lock on to. We got the best results by switching to manual focus (MF) and pre-focusing on the point where we anticipated the smoke would rise – using the tip of the incense stick as a starting point. If you ensure there's no draught, the smoke should rise fairly evenly.
Secure your flash
We used tape to secure our off-camera flash, which, due to the short length of the remote cable, wouldn't stay in the correct position on the table-top. It's always a good idea to carry some kind of tape in your kit bag – it has some surprising uses!
Use a flashgun
We used a Canon Speedlite 580EX flashgun attached to our Canon via a dedicated flash cord, rather than our SLR's pop-up flash. This way, we could light the smoke from one side, rather than from straight on, and the cable kept the camera and flash synchronised.
Control the smoke
As we were shooting smoke trails, it's nearly impossible to control the pattern that smoke makes, so we needed to experiment. If you, too, are shooting smoke trails set up your DIY table-top studio in a room free of draughts, because even the slightest air movement will interrupt the flow of smoke. We used a fly swatter to manipulate the smoke while looking through the viewfinder!
Take plenty of shots
Because capturing the perfect smoke pattern is going to be a little hit and miss, it's best to shoot as many images as possible, leaving you with plenty to choose from. Ensure you've got lots of space on your memory card and try different techniques to get the smoke to behave in different ways.

From an issue to be managed - to the heart of the business
Dr. Peter White, P&G Global Sustainability Director
Addressing sustainability is in the long term self-interest of business and – because much of environmental sustainability is about reducing waste and increasing efficiency – also has direct short-term benefit too.
Business cannot succeed in a society that fails, so it is in the long-term interest of business to build economically strong, healthy and vibrant societies; and such a society is dependent on businesses for growth and prosperity. Sustainability should be viewed as an opportunity for all - through a mutually-assured self-interest.
For any business to become more sustainable, it needs to understand where its major impacts occur, and where it has the biggest opportunity for improvements. This should be done over the full life cycle of the products or services that the company provides, and may lead to unexpected results. Some 10 years ago, P&G used Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to complete an energy footprint for the company. The result showed that most energy use was not associated with manufacturing plants, but with heating water in consumers' homes to wash clothes. This led to a programme of product innovation to develop detergents that work effectively at low temperature – initially at 30°C with Ariel CoolClean and then as low as 15°C with Ariel Excel Gel. The opportunities from cold water washing are significant, since in the UK it can save 40-50 per cent of the energy per wash. If everyone in the USA were to wash clothes in cold water it would save about 3 per cent of their total domestic energy consumption, and deliver over 6 per cent of their original Kyoto commitment for greenhouse gas reductions.
Technological innovation is vital, but only part of the story. Unless consumers adopt new technologies, and change behaviour accordingly, sustainability benefits may not be delivered. Developing a detergent that cleans brilliantly at low temperature is of no benefit unless consumers actually select low temperature wash programs – hence the importance of campaigns like Ariel Turn-to-30 and Future Friendly, aimed at changing consumer behaviour. Consumer studies from around the world show remarkably similar results about how consumers choose and use products. In Europe, the USA and Japan, only around 15 per cent of consumers (the 'green niche') will accept a compromise in terms of performance or value for the sake of a more environmentally sustainable product. At the other end of the spectrum, around 15 per cent of consumers are too concerned with basic living to consider sustainability attributes. In the middle, however, there is a large 'sustainable mainstream' (about 70 per cent of consumers) that will buy a more sustainable product, or adopt more sustainable behaviour, so long as they are not asked to make any trade-offs in performance or value. This is the opportunity for manufacturers like P&G to make a massive difference.
Companies can also contribute to the sustainability of the cities and towns where they operate though improvements in the environmental performance of their operations. In particular, major businesses can set up networks in their supply chain to convert previous waste materials into resources – the concept of Industrial Ecology. Although in 2008, P&G already converted 96 per cent of all materials entering P&G plants into packed product (with half of the remaining material recycled), the company set up a specific global programme to reduce solid waste going to disposal. By identifying all of the waste materials, and searching for alternative future uses, it has been possible to reduce the waste per unit of production by an additional 50 per cent in just three years. The solutions have been varied and creative: waste vegetable oil from producing Pringles in Belgium is now sold for conversion into biodiesel; waste from paper plants in Mexico is used to make low-cost roofing tiles for local construction; skin cream waste in China is used to condition leather. These projects benefit local businesses, cut costs for P&G and improve overall environmental efficiency.
Social responsibility is often the first area mentioned for corporate involvement in sustainability. Companies, large and small, and their employees, are important parts of the communities in which they operate. Many do this by supporting education or the arts, and through the 'volunteering' efforts of their employees. P&G's programme, entitled Live, Learn and Thrive, aims to reach 300 million children worldwide through a range of partners and projects in order to promote health, education and skills for life. Business can also play a broader role by applying its core strengths – innovation, scale and consumer insight – to address large sustainability challenges, including those encapsulated in the UN Millennium Development Goals. For example, over a billion people do not have access to clean drinking water, and deaths from water-borne diseases exceed those from HIV Aids and Malaria combined. By using a simple, cheap and robust technology developed in Newcastle upon Tyne, it has been possible for P&G and its partners to provide point-of-use water purification for both disaster relief and longer term sustainable water supply. Currently in over 60 countries, this programme (Children's Safe Drinking Water) has delivered over 3 billion litres of clean, safe water since 2004.
Ultimately, businesses which deliver the most valuable sustainability initiatives are those that look at what their company does, as well as how it does it. The 'how' is important – aiming to be more efficient and responsible across a company's operations – but by interrogating the 'what,' you can leverage the value delivered to society through the products and services your company provides, and the value delivered to your company in return.
By taking a broad approach to sustainability, companies can introduce sustainability programmes with a three-fold impact - beneficial to the environment, beneficial to society, and beneficial to themselves, now and in the future.

None of this is new, but familiarity doesn't make it any less painful. The Giants' pitchers got lit up on Thursday night in a 10-5 loss to the Pirates after losing 12-1 to the Red Sox the day before. This time they also lost Matt Cain, after he took a Gaby Sanchez line drive off his right forearm in the fourth inning.
No bones were broken, but it didn't take long for Cain, Bruce Bochy and Dave Groeschner to make the call to remove him from the game. "It hit me in the meaty part of the area. Kind of went right to my hand a little bit, the feeling was a little bit bruised real quick," Cain said. Usually I'd make a joke whenever the words "meaty" and "area" are uttered in the same sentence, but not tonight.
Cain has been a magnet for sharply hit balls up the middle this year, but this one might keep him out of the rotation for a bit. He has made at least 31 starts in each of the past seven seasons. Cain hitting the disabled list wasn't even a consideration, even during this topsy turvy year. He went 2.1 and 0.2 innings in consecutive starts in early July and it appeared that he might be hiding some sort of injury or at the very least be dealing with a dead or comatose arm. But then he pitched five serviceable innings against Arizona, and followed that by going at least seven innings in his next five starts leading into tonight.
Oh, but the dark cloud of baseball crap has parked itself over McCovey Cove, because baseball drinks red wine and Pepto Bismol when it's angry at a team. Baseball is angry at the Giants.
Cain's just the latest pitcher to get hit in the wrong place by a baseball traveling at least 90 mph. First it was Ryan Vogelsong who took a pitch off his right hand, a HBP that resulted in a fracture. Chad Gaudin went to the DL after taking a liner off his right forearm, although his bruise might have been closer to his elbow than Cain's tonight.
Bochy praised Cain's "durability" and "toughness" after the game, but with the Giants looking more and more each day like they're coming to terms with a last place fate, they'll give Cain all the time he needs to heal.
"We're not going to take any chances," said Bochy, who explained exactly what it would take for Cain not to miss his next turn. "He's going to have to have a tremendous recovery and not feel anything."
Stolen BASGs
— The Giants made a little comeback and tied the game at 3-3 in the fourth inning. But if the Pirates thought they were taking BP against Cain, they were playing tee-ball with Guillermo Moscoso and Jose Mijares on the mound.
"The guys did a great job of coming back. Marco got a big hit. That's what's disappointing, then you have an ugly inning like that after you just tied the game. But when the long guy has trouble throwing strikes, that's a recipe for disaster," Bochy said.
— Understatement of the night from Bochy: "It's been a tough week for the fellas."
— Bochy noted that Cain had "taken some pretty good shots up the middle" and "been hit a few times." I asked him whether there's anything Cain could do differently to avoid getting pelleted every month or two, and Bochy had no answers. "He attacks the zone. That's what he does well. Balls up the middle, there's not a lot you can do about that."
— Cain mentioned taking a ball off his arm in a similar spot back in 2009. It was right before the All-Star break so he got a little extra rest and was able to make his next scheduled start back then as a result.
— Mijares heard a healthy dose of boos when the fifth inning appeared to be never-ending, and by the ninth inning the park had thinned out quite a bit. I haven't seen a crowd like this for a Giants/Pirates game since Candlestick Park was used for baseball.

The different ways to call Bloody Mary…
101 comments:
- J said...
My friends and I were told in middle school by our global studies teacher that we had to:
-Be in the bathroom with no light visible anywheres in the room. (Ideal to do at night when all you have to do is close the door and if light gets under just put something like a towel under the door)
-Have to be alone, no one else can be in the room with you when you call her.
-Must say her name 13 times while spinning.
-After the 12 spin you stop spinning and learn towards the mirror and say her name a 13th time.
And supposedly after the 13th time she'll come out and either kill you or just scratch you.
None of us ever made it to the 13th name. heh
I remember right after 9th grade in June 2004 there was an e-mail circulating among all the freshman (about to become sophomores) e-mails about a newer way to call bloody mary.
You supposedly had to forward the e-mail to x amount of people before 9:24 PM on June 23rd or that night bloody mary would crawl out of your computer monitor and kill you.
Scared the crap out of me (cause I saw The Ring two years earlier and was still scared from that!) and I fell for it and sent it to everyone I knew. Hehe
I don't believe she's real anymore, but still not even money would get me to try to stand infront of a mirror in a dark room.
There's mirror in my house along the wall by the stair, and in the main hallway on the second floor. I hate walking through there whenever the lights are off.

im only in yr7, earlier this year i saw the ghost whisperer episode about bloody mary, and i got curious. I have looked around on several sites and the most common way to call bloody mary is: go into a dark room with a mirror and no light except ONE candle, you thensay her name 13 times while spinning. If you do this she is supposed to come out and scratch your eyes out!. I'm not game to try it but!

Me and my friend Claeb are trying to summon "Bloody Mary". We have had no success in the past, but are studying the other ways to do it. If we have any response whatsoever we will post it on youtube (Most likely with the name Bloody Mary myth or fable).
P.S.- Please send in ways to do it modernly :)

I've never tried it myself because I'm too scared but if someone could do it and tell me what really happens, maybe i could build up enough nerve to do it myself. I'm really curious if something really happens or it's all just a lie(which I hope it is.)

i was at sleep away camp and me and my friends got bored so we decided to try the bloody mary ritual.All my friends chickened out so i was the one who had to try it.I said bloody mary three times and there was a scream. my friend was pointing at the mirror.I turned around and looked at the mirror.There was a white figure staring at me.Everyone ran out but i was paralysed with fear.Then i snapped out of it.I ran not caring if i tripped or ripped my clothes.When i got back to the cabin everyone was staring at my hands and my face.I looked down at my hands which were covered in blood but i refused to look in the mirror incase i saw her again.My friend gave me her makeup mirror and i had scratces all down my face!!!!Creepy or what.Really DONT TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, i'll tellyou why, and how bloody mary began, ok in the 1983's there use to be the old hippy, groovy times, and ther were young guys who thought of something to get girls on a date, the did get all their girlfriends, and wanted the girls to hug them, they made a mythology, of "Bloody Marry", and so had gotten their girlfriends scared, so finaly they hugged, lol but, i dont know how it passed all that way, if you want to have fun calling the dead then just go with the stupid black magic idiots, they may make god mad im warning u dont ever get a letter board or a white globe, or enter the prison cells of criminals, and call them to come to u, or speak with them in theletter board, or else, god will get mad for im-balancing his laws, and actually wont protect u from the attack of the monster ghost.

I tried this once, splashing the mirror with three friends. We said her name 13 times and then nothing happened. So then we went outside and played the game, with three stones that I still have and she wouldn't let us play. So I asked, 'if we take the water of the mirror will you let us play?' Because we didn't wipe the water of, and then it started to rain, and there was a huge triangle, meaning yes. So me and one other friend went to the bathroom at school that we used and the tap was running. I turned it of, realising it was the tap that we used to splash the mirror, and then we cleaned it of.
When we got back outside, it had stopped raining and we started playing again but we felt scratching on us, and then this fly came up in the middle of the circle. Everytime it was someone else's turn, the fly would crawl over to that person and when we asked mary to give one of us a vision of how she died even though we know the whole story, the fly lay down on it's back and began scratching.
We were so creeped out and that night I had a dream of four faces being burnt and I think the four faces were symbolling. Mary, her mum Sarah, her dad Tom, and the candyman who we think was having an affair with sarah.
I beleive in her more than my friends and don't tell them about how strong my belief is and how many times I call her and see different parts to her death.

it was a long time ago.i thiink 3 years back i really dont know hehe:P
okaii.back to story.so yah i was in the seventh grade that time, and i had a sleepover party.
i had invited 14 pplz. ()
And we were playing truth or dare (i hate the game ). my friend dared me to go to the bathroom with 7 other ppl . i lighted a candle and brought in my mom's chant book (its a book with spells broght down from generations)
and i looked up the chant for a witches spirit.
- must be alone
-light as many candles
-spin around 12 times
while saying bloody mary
at the 13th time u must say this "BLOODY MARY I KIILED UR BABY "
-flashh the toilet
then stare atthe mirror for 13 sec
After the given amount of chants, the spirit will then appear in a mirror and claw your eyes out and death will follow. Other variations have her driving you insane or pulling you into the mirror, never to be seen again.
Bloody Mary is a ghost or witch featured in Western folklore. She is said to appear in a mirror when her name is called three times (or sometimes more, depending upon the version of the story), often as part of a game at slumber parties. Other very similar tales use different names for the character including Mary Worth, Mary Worthington, and Hell Mary among others.

This is how i have heard it works. You spin around 3 times then look into the mirror and chant BLOODY MARY 3 times then she is supposed to come out and kill you, but the spinning makes you think that you might have seen her because you are dizzy so its not really that good, But it is actually based on a true story about a girl called mary who was buired alive. :L

i believe in this all my friends do too.We just tried it but only heard noises.It creeped but kool, weve tried it so many fucking times and nothing happened idk bout them but i heard a scream. I could also tell u the real story, Mary was a young woman whos kids were killed and she didnt wanna live without them so she commited suicide she threw something at a body size mirror and the pices of glass cut her to shreds. Therefore the scratches in the legend. I believe in this cuz i believe in everything ghosts, and death. I see them so creepy but kool.

I did Bloody Mary about two years back at a sleep over. at first it was disappointing... but then... We were all sitting on the bed, there were 5 or 6 of us I think, we were telling ghost stories and I had just finished mine when my friend has started screaming and crying saying she saw something in the mirror, i hugged her and tried to sooth her and she kept crying, then the same friend, or another saw something in the corner of the room. after a while of us all seeing things we screamed and Maddie's dad came down stairs, we all went up stairs but then Me, Rose and Lyssa went down we saw something on the floor in the room, we went in on got it, and is Rose's hand writing it said Gaara, even though i know for a fact I hadnt let her from my sight since she saw something in the mirror. Later when I spoke to rose... she said the last thing she remembered was the mirror...

All this stuff is dumb! but even though i think it is dumb, i am too scared to try it. There are way to many stories about bloody mary that I have heard, and i don't know which one is true. I do know that she was the only living child of her father, and became queen. Then she was burned at stake, not buried alive, idiots. She was thought to be a witch. She did not have a chance to have a child, but she was still upset about that. There are too many stories, but that one was the most believeable. and for the summoning of her. I believe that if you are in a dark restroom, with the only light source a candle, for you must have a candle lit mirror, you must keep saying her name until she appears, it doesnt matter how many times said. I'm not sure what will happen, but I want to find out.

Well I'm in year 6 i was kept down in prep and on the 21of September 2012 I did bloody mary in the school restrooms like txgirl. I was near the lights and on the 13th time of saying bloody Mary she came out of the mirror and scrached me on the arm 3 times. I turned the lights and I saw 2 of them but I could not see the 3rd one so she leaves 2 that I can see 1 that is invisible. try it it is scary but fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be in the bathroom with no light visible anywhere in the room. (Ideal to do at night when all you have to do is close the door and if light gets under just put something like a towel under the door)
-Have to be alone, no one else can be in the room with you when you call her.
-Must say her name 13 times while spinning.
-After the 12 spin you stop spinning and learn towards the mirror and say her name a 13th time.
I bet you think I've done this, haha no. I'm such a wuss. I know right shamed

Help for the Haunted (Hardcover)
It begins with a call one snowy February night. Lying in her bed, young Sylvie Mason overhears her parents on the phone across the hall. This is not the first late-night call they have received, since her mother and father have an uncommon occupation: helping "haunted souls" find peace. And yet something in Sylvie senses that this call is different from the others, especially when they are lured to the old church on the outskirts of town. Once there, her parents disappear, one after the other, behind the church's red door, leaving Sylvie alone in the car. Not long after, she drifts off to sleep, only to wake to the sound of gunfire.
As the story weaves back and forth through the years leading up to that night and the months following, the ever-inquisitive Sylvie searches for answers and uncovers secrets that have haunted her family for years.
Capturing the vivid eeriness of Stephen King's works and the quirky tenderness of John Irving's novels, Help for the Haunted is told in the captivating voice of a young heroine who is determined to discover the truth about what happened on that winter night.

How about forget CRTs and place a 1 million Euro price tag on any 2 year old kit from MotoGP. With stipulation it would have to be raced, etc. This would enable someone (privateers) to be somewhat competitive for a while at least. Also, the rules would need to be written such that these purchased bikes would be able to be used at least 2 years following purchase, so maybe a 6 year rules freeze?
Serioulsy, just run what ya' brung and let the boys race for a change.
