Instant replay goes smoothly in Arizona debut
Review of play on bases during Diamondbacks-Angels game takes little time, gets call right, just as MLB would have hoped.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- No fuss. No muss. No bother.
Instant replay went exactly as Major League Baseball would have hoped in its first trial in a spring training game in Arizona on Monday, when the Angels beat the Diamondbacks 3-2 at Salt River Fields.
"It was about as smooth as you could ask for," said D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who was right in the middle of it.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia asked for an umpire's review after Arizona catcher Bobby Wilson threw out Los Angeles base runner Luis Jimenez attempting to steal second base in the top of the second inning.
After a brief discussion, first-base umpire Ted Barrett and second-base umpire Bill Miller went to a telephone in the photo well near the first-base dugout to confer with MLB officials, who had access to replays in a dedicated trailer outside the stadium. Less than a minute later, the umps returned to the field and indicated that the initial call was correct.
"We weren't trying to make a mockery out of it,'' Scioscia said. "We thought it was a pretty close play. If we have 15 angles of that ..."
The official delay was 2 minutes, 31 seconds, but that was from the time Scioscia entered the field until the review was completed.
"It didn't seem that long," said Goldschmidt, the Diamondbacks' player representative.
Getting the play right and completing the review in a timely manner are "both important," Goldschmidt continued. "You don't want to have the game stalled out. If it's going to run like that, it is going to be great."
According to the new rules adopted by Major League Baseball and the players union over the winter, managers can challenge up two calls in the first six innings. If they are wrong on the first one, however, they do not get a second challenge. The umpire crew chief can call for a challenge after the seventh inning.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said he considered challenging a close play at first base on a Goldschmidt grounder to shortstop but decided against it. The D-backs were communicating via walkie-talkie with a man in their video room, and they will do the same during home games at Chase Field going forward.
"It is a lot more complicated than we thought. Hopefully we have super slo-mo (replays) in the regular season," Gibson said.
Scoscia agreed about the complications from a strategical standpoint.
"As far as the strategy of it, that's going to take a lot," Scioscia said. "It might be something you win, but you know you need that challenge to save the big play somewhere.''
Instant replay was used twice in the Blue Jays-Twins game in Florida on Monday, and it was available but not used during the Brewers-Cubs game in Arizona. It was tested extensively in the 2013 Arizona Fall League.
About the only decisions that cannot be challenged are balls and strikes, checked swings, obstruction/interference and the infield fly rule. A home run can be reviewed at any time.

The 54-hole event at the par-71, 7,455-yard Scarlet Course also includes Ball State, California, East Tennessee State, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Long Beach State, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Purdue.
State went 6-1 last season against teams in the field
"We are looking forward to playing in the Jack Nicklaus Invitational against another elite national field," Coach Clay Homan said. "This course has hosted numerous NCAA and PGA Tour events, so it will have the feel of a national championship. The opportunity to travel to a different part of the country will be a good experience for our team as well. We will need to step up our execution from where we were a week ago, but I am confident that we will."
The Bulldog finished seventh a week ago at the Dick's Sporting Good Collegiate Challenge Cup after opening up the season with a runner-up finish at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate.
The senior trio of Chad Ramey, Barrett Edens and Joe Sakulpolphaisan will be familiar faces for State, with freshman Jackson Dick and sophomore Ben Wood making their first starts on the team scorecard this season.
Dick signed with MSU as the eighth-ranked amateur among Australian golfers. Wood saw action as an individual to open up the season, finishing 16th at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate.
Homan's squad will tee off Sunday's shotgun start at 9 a.m.

Music and design are inherently connected; a performance can be just as much about image as it can about sound. A musical instrument is often selected because of its aesthetics as well as the quality of its sound and feel. Artists choose the tools that speak to them aurally and visually. However, once that beautifully lacquered Les Paul or engagingly knob-filled Moog is plugged in, the resultant mass of boring black cables does nothing to increase visual appeal.
That's where Cordinated steps in. From their West Loop studio, Juli and Dan handcraft beautiful, high-quality instrument cables perfect for both the studio and live performance. Dan, a musician and engineer, hand solders all of the cables, using quality cord stock and plugs. Musician/Designer Juli wraps each cable in brightly colored yarn. The finished cable provides quality sound and visual appeal. Cordinated cables harken back to a vintage look while providing modern quality.
Aside from the ability to color-coordinate your instrument with its cables (they will create cords in any colors/length), having multicolored, tangle-free cords is an advantage to any musician. Setting up quickly for a gig becomes easy for artists that use different types and lengths of cable. In the studio, the dreaded search for which instrument is connected to which preamp, amp, mixing channel, etc. is alleviated.
Cordinated cables currently come in two grades: Classic and Top Notch. Classic provides the standard sound quality one might expect from any store-bought cable, while the Top Notch cables are created from very high quality stock and use Neutrik X-Series 1/4" plugs. This way musicians can still pick up eye-catching, hand-wrapped cables without having to break the bank. For those looking for something special, custom orders are welcome.
Juli and Dan created Cordinated out of a mutual love for sound and design. As performing musicians with a home studio, they have created a product based specifically on their own needs, and luckily they are sharing that product with the rest of us. It is always a pleasure to support quality products that are made here in Chicago, especially when they are handmade by independent creators.
You can find Cordinated online at their Etsy or Supermarket shops.

By Ryan Jones, Staff writer
Malcolm Jenkins didn't even own golf clubs until fellow New Orleans Saints safety Roman Harper bought him a set last summer, but he spent his last day before New Orleans' organized team activities on the links Monday.
The veteran safety was among several Saints players who enjoyed one more relaxing round of golf during the Saints Hall of Fame Celebrity Golf Classic at the Chateau Golf and Country Club, capping a tumultuous offseason for the team. The Saints will begin OTAs Tuesday, which will stretch through July 14. They will be the first on-field practices without franchise quarterback Drew Brees and Coach Sean Payton, who has been suspended for the season for his role in the team's bounty scandal.
Jenkins, who is entering his third season as a starter in New Orleans' defensive backfield, said the Saints are hungry to begin on-field preparations for their 2012 campaign.
"It's been a long offseason, and I think where we're most comfortable is on the field," Jenkins said. "That's where we get peace from all of this and take our first steps moving on to the new season. I think guys are excited to take a step in a new direction."
Harper said that new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has already introduced major changes to the playbook in a departure from former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' scheme.
"It's totally different," Harper said. "There are a lot more eyes on the ball, not as much (man-on-man defense), and (we're) just trying to make plays on the ball. I'm looking forward to it. We're still going to pressure. We're still going to get after the quarterback like we did. The more we'll get to work with it, the more comfortable we'll be with it."
Jenkins and Harper agreed that Brees' absence might lead to an atmosphere more conducive to learning a new defensive playbook.
"It becomes a lot more relaxed when you don't have Drew out there making the plays that he does," Jenkins said. "We'll be able to learn quickly what we can and can't do in that defense."
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's suspensions of several current and former Saints players, including defensive end Will Smith and linebacker Jonathan Vilma, were the subject of a NFL grievance hearing conducted in New York last Wednesday. Jenkins, however, said that Saints players have put the issue out of their minds.
"I forgot the hearing was last week," Jenkins said. "I think everyone has just been moving on and focusing on things that are coming up like the OTAs. I don't think anybody is thinking about that stuff."
Goodell is expected to address the Saints' situation and the players' appeals when he meets with media today following the NFL's annual spring meetings in Atlanta.

Hello everyone,
I am new to this tribe. I have a question for all you beautiful people...
Has anyone ever heard of shredded dried deer tongue? It's called for in a recipe for a bath tea and it's supposed to smell like vanilla.
All I have found so far is real deer's tongue from the chinese herbalists, which I refuse to buy.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Deer TongueTue, April 26, 2005 - 12:47 PMDeer's tongue refers to a type of fern. This fern is thin and long with a smooth, leathery surface. There are many ferns in the Deer's Tongue family. Here, in Hawai'i, we have Deer's Tongue growing wild in the forest, as well as the indigenous Lau'ae fern and types of mule ferns, all have the same characteristics of smooth and leathery leaves and all release a lovely vanilla-like scent upon drying. The vanilla scent comes from coumarins. Other herbs that contain coumarins and have a lovely vanilla-like scent are Sweet Grass, Tonka Beans and Sweet Woodruff. I would suggest you go for some Sweet Grass in your bath, it is easy to find.
Good Luck.
Re: Deer TongueTue, April 26, 2005 - 12:50 PMThanks so much!
Re: Deer TongueTue, April 26, 2005 - 1:56 PMCan anyone recommend a good herbalist or store where I can get this?
I'm in LA...
Re: Deer TongueTue, April 26, 2005 - 2:10 PMYou can get braids of Sweet Grass for just about any "new age" store.
Or try your local co-op.
Re: Deer TongueTue, April 26, 2005 - 3:54 PMif you look at the bottom of the page, there is info for ordering braided sweetgrass......
Re: Deer TongueWed, April 27, 2005 - 11:55 AMGreat link thanks!!
& thanks St. Walker for the clear information
Re: Deer TongueWed, April 27, 2005 - 5:21 PMDeer's Tongue:
Vanilla Leaf, wild vanilla, trilissia odorata
Parts used-leaves
Herbaceous perennial plant distinguished by a naked receptacle, oblong, imbricated involucre, and a feathery pappus, fleshy basal leaves obolanceolate, terminating in a flattened stalk. Leaves clasping at the base. The leaves are used to flavour tobacco. The fragrance is largely due to coumarin, which can be seen in crystals on the upper side of the smooth spatulate leaves. Most species are used medicinally.
Medicinal action and uses; Demulcent, febrifuge, diaphoretic
Of the fern:
Hart's tongue, hind's tongue, horse tongue, god's hair, buttonhole,
Scolpendrium vulgare, asplenium scolopendrium
It is specially recommended for removing obstructions from the liver and spleen, also for removing gravelly deposits from the bladder.
I would recommend further reading and research to make sure you are getting exactly what you want.
I am not sure, but I thought San Francisco Herb company used to carry it, at least they did about 10 years ago. There are several other good reasonable sources to wholesale priced herbs.
Re: Deer TongueWed, April 27, 2005 - 5:40 PMAbout Sweet Grass, there is a website, (they are temporarily out of stock) they sell the plants...They donate a portion of their proceeds to Both Veterans and Native American schools. I will include it and you can email them and see when they will have stock available again if you are interested in plants www.sweetgrassplants.com
...another source is called Native Scents, entirely owned and operated by Native Americans...www.nativescents.com
Re: Deer TongueWed, April 27, 2005 - 6:00 PMThanks Linda. I now remember about the 'other' Deer's Tongue.
When I was the buyer for a large herbal apothecary, I used to order it from Aphrodesia. I am pretty sure that the use in this instance is purly for scent/external, so more research wouldn't really be necessary. It is always good to use the botanical names when one can as it creates less confusion. The ferns that you listed are not the same as the tropical Deer's Tongue ferns which grow here in Hawai'i. Deer's Tongue is just the white man's arbitrary and referential name given to the unfamiliar plants he discovered on his colonizing campaign. There are plenty examples of this type of naming in colonized nations. Here we have Star Apples, Mountain Apples, and Custard Apples...none of which are related to apples and all three are from different families!
Re: Deer TongueWed, April 27, 2005 - 6:47 PMHello St. Walker,
Yes I am sure you have alot of varieties in the islands that are not available or grown in the states...shipping must be outrageous...I ordered from Aphrodesia a few times about 15 years ago but was not happy with the quality of their product, and since I am studying for my PA horticultural certifate, regardless of whether I am native american or not the botancial names applied to plants do indeed lessen the confusion of varieties, that is why I posted also as many other names, (common and indigenous) that were most often used by those who were not of the horticulture loop. I would guess that the use in this instance also is for the external scent, however being as informed as possible when making a choice is always a nice option and makes additional information available to those who may not have access to it initially, I find it also stimulates interest...what we are here for. I used to own and herbs & spices shop from the late 80's until almost 2000, specializing in hard to find herb plants and varieties and gave talks and classes on many different aspects of usage....I agree about the apples, we also have something here that grows in our northern woods called may apples, of course, totally unrelated to apples grown on trees regardless of how many different varieties and hybrids there are...Thanks for the info on the referential names. Lauri
Re: Deer TongueWed, April 27, 2005 - 9:33 PMLauri,
"I find it also stimulates interest...what we are here for."
Agreed, fully :-)
I could go on and on with you I'm sure.
My grandmother began teaching me the uses of herbs for medicine when I turned 9 and my study with her continued until I went off to college. Since that time I continue to learn and utilize herbal wisdom every day. Most of my focus for the past 4 years has been on learning the plants of Hawai'i. When I first moved here, from Washington, i felt so out of place without any of my familar plant friends around me! Now I find that I am growing rusty with my mainland herbs.
I am sure your wisdom is delightful and I wish I could pick your brain in person...
I definitly appreciate your info as much of the banter on tribe seems to be extra short and to the point. (perhaps for the sake of brevity or maybe out of resistance to type so much?)
I totally agree with you on the quality of herbs from Aphrodesia...they tend to be poor, but they do have a large variety of non-medicinal herbs for potpurris and such.

Wheelchair Tennis Players from Jacksonville serve as role models for others with disabilities.
Exhibition during Men's Pro-Circuit Tennis finals on Amelia Island shows that there are no limits.
Amelia Island, FL, a wheelchair tennis exhibition, featuring Jacksonville's Rudy Chavarria and Dale Jackson, will be a special addition to the exciting lineup of the Ravenswood Winery Amelia Island Futures Men's Tennis Championships, the USTA Pro-Circuit event at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation's Racquet Park.
The wheelchair exhibition is scheduled in for Sunday, November 21, at 11:00 A.M. in Center Court, followed by the Men's Pro-Circuit Futures Singles Final. The full schedule for the Main Draw of the Futures is: Tuesday, November 16 - Sunday, November 21.
Both Chavarria and Jackson had spinal chord injuries, which resulted in paraplegia. They play in the Brooks Wheelchair Tennis League and compete in tennis events throughout Florida, including the FCTF (First Coast Tennis Foundation) Adult City Championships, making it to the 2009 singles finals and semi-finals respectively. The Brooks Adaptive Sports and Recreation program has organized this exhibition featuring the wheelchair doubles team of Chavarria and Jackson against 2 able-bodied players.
Wheelchair tennis was originated in 1976 by American Brad Parks and evolved into a major competitive international sport. It is played on a standard tennis court and follows most standard rules. However, in wheelchair tennis, a player is allowed to let the ball bounce twice, not once. Also, the athlete's wheelchair is considered to be a part of the body, so rules applying to the player's body apply to the chair as well. Skilled wheelchair handling is most impressive to watch and critical to succeed in the game.
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Communities in Schools locally, as well as Tennis Without Borders. Tickets are free from Tuesday, Nov 16 - Friday, Nov. 19. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children on Saturday, Nov. 20 and Sunday, Nov 21. VIP Tickets are $75 for Friday, Nov 20 - Sunday, Nov 21 with Preferred Center Court seating and unlimited access to the hospitality tent.

The Detroit Red Wings spent almost the entire game Friday night rallying to pull even with the Edmonton Oilers but ended up dropping a 3-2 shootout decision.
Edmonton had a 2-0 lead before five minutes had been played and the Red Wings used every second of the remaining 55 minutes to tie things back up. Brian Rafalski forced overtime with 0.2 seconds remaining in regulation.
Andrew Cogliano opened the game's scoring just 57 seconds into the game, scoring into the open side of the net on a cross-crease feed from Gilbert Brule.
4:01 later, Ryan Whitney scored his first goal as an Oiler, cutting from the top of the left circle in low to snap a shot past Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard.
Patrick Eaves put the Red Wings on the board with 8:09 left in the second period. Kris Draper raced in behind the Edmonton goal on the forecheck and won the puck, sending it out to Eaves in the right circle for a one-timer past Edmonton netminder Devan Dubnyk.
Rafalski tied the game when Henrik Zetterberg dug the puck out from under Edmonton Theo Peckham in the corner. With nearly everyone on the ice having moved to the left corner, Pavel Datsyuk sent it across for Brian Rafalski to bang into the net from the far side of the crease.
Ryan Potulny and Gilbert Brule scored on Edmonton's first two shootout attempts before Howard stopped Robert Nilsson. Pavel Datsyuk rang a backhand chance off the post and Jason Williams scored before Valtteri Filppula was stopped to ensure the Oilers' win.
Howard made 22 saves on 24 shots on the night. Edmonton took 13 of those shots in the first ten minutes of play. Dubnyk made 31 saves on 33 Detroit chances in earning his first career victory.
Notes: Eaves left the game with an upper-body injury after the second period... Combined with Calgary's win in San Jose Friday night, the Red Wings are now tied with the Flames for eighth place in the Western Conference. Detroit has one game in hand.
Edmonton has 13 shots in the first ten minutes. The Wings have had one good shift. Way to come out strong, guys. Should have stayed in Kelowna golfing.
Pull Howard. This team needs to wake up and he shouldn't have started tonight anyway.
Agreed... Put Ozzie in there and send the wake up call!
At least it's a point?
I know I say it every time but Howard was down too early on the first shootout attempt. The second I have no idea what he was doing. The third was a great save but you can't stop one of three shots and expect to give your team a chance.
That said, how does only one person score on a winless rookie goalie? And that one person is Jason Williams? Datsyuk beat Dubnyk but hit the post, but it doesn't count for any more than Fil's wasted shot.
1-2-1 with ericcson/lilja pair. 5-0 i believe with lilja lebda pair. Did you see where that second shot went on howard in the shootout, nobody stops that. At least we got a point is right though. Although a tie in points doesnt mean much since Calgary has more wins.
Did you see where that second shot went on howard in the shootout, nobody stops that.
Did you see where his glove was? Hell of a shot, yes, but Howard was nowhere near it.

College Hockey:Laker Love: Oswego Top Team in D-III
As Norwich Continues Its Remarkable Ascension, Manhattanville, Amherst Fall Precipitously Out of Poll; Williams and Salem State Enter Top 15
MINNEAPOLIS — The Oswego Lakers are the top team in Division III college hockey.
A week after splitting the vote with SUNYAC nemesis Plattsburgh, Oswego wrested control of the nations No. 1 ranking after hammering Brockport, 10-1, and doubling up Geneseo, 4-2. They received 12 of 20 first place votes.
The Cardinals, meanwhile, skated to a 3-3 tie with Potsdam and fell to second, 20 points — and seven top tallies — behind the Lakers.
Undefeated Norwich, fresh off back-to-back blankings of Amherst and Hamilton, rose two spots despite garnering one less first place vote than last week. In just three polls, they have gone from unranked to third in the country — a remarkable ascendance for the 5-0-1 Cadets.
Speaking of unblemished, the Adrian Bulldogs completed another ho-hum weekend: outscoring their opponent — Concordia (WI) — 19-2 to improve to 10-0 on the year. Though remaining in fourth, they received only two top tallies, one fewer than last week.
After splitting with seventh ranked St. Scholastica on home ice, St. Norbert dropped two spots to fifth. Sandwiched between the Saints and the Green Knights, the Soaring Eagles from Elmira are still No. 6 nationally.
Middlebury College remained in eighth after tying with Southern Maine and shutting out the Noreasters from the University of New England, 5-0. The University of Wisconsin-River Falls moved up one spot to ninth after besting Bethel and St. Marys by a combined score of 12-2.
The Bowdoin Polar Bears — rivals with the Noreasters for best D-III mascot — continued their winning ways by blanking Skidmore, 1-0, and blasting Castleton, 7-1. Tenth in the country, they are now 5-0 on the season.
Continuing the trend of non-traditional national powers rising up the rankings, the Curry Colonels — 7-0-1 in the nascent campaign — ascend one spot to No. 11.
Ninth in last weeks poll, the UW-Superior Yellowjackets split with in-state rival Stevens Point, landing at No. 12.
The MIACs Hamline Pipers acquitted themselves well last weekend in taking three points in a home-and-home series with conference foe St. Olaf. They rose two spots to No. 13.
Rounding out the top 15 were newcomers Williams and Salem State, a combined 10-1-2 on the season.
A mirror image of Norwichs ascendancy has been Manhattanvilles precipitous fall from grace. Two weeks ago, the Valiants were ranked fourth in the country. But after losses to Elmira and Hobart, they didnt even receive any votes from the pollsters.
Amherst also fell out of the top 15 teams.

The official blog of DevConnections conferences
Tuesday was "Microsoft Day" at DevConnections. This means that for 3 of the shows (Microsoft ASP.NET Connections, Visual Studio Connections, and SQL Server Magazine Connections), all of the talks were by Microsoft speakers. (The exception here was C++ Connections which is targeted at all C++ programmers, not those just using Microsoft C++. They didn't limit themselves to Microsoft talks on Tuesday.) Tuesday's talks tended to be more bleeding edge than talks that will happen today and tomorrow. (That's not to say there aren't any bleeding edge talks on Wed or Thurs, there are many but these are balanced with some best practices talks and talks on VS 2003/SQL 2000). In addition, the majority of speakers today and tomorrow will not be from Microsoft.
Tuesday content is driven by Microsoft. This is the time to ask the tough questions or bring your complaints and chew Microsoft out (although I did not hear much of that). In fact at the end of day, there was Microsoft Unplugged. This was your opportunity to drink beer, eat pizza, and ask Microsoft the tough questions. But instead of dropping a message on a forum or calling PSS and talking to someone who knows less about the topic than you, you get to ask your burning ASP.NET question to Scott Guthrie (one of the co-creators of ASP.NET!), Matt Nunn, or some other Microsoft architect, or PM. I even asked a question about Source Safe that had been bugging me at the Unplugged event.
So on Tuesday you get the Microsoft spin from the ultimate insiders. This perspective is very important but not the only perspective you want to hear. Enter the sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Here is when you hear sessions by third party (i.e., non-Microsoft) speakers. People like Kimberly Tripp, Stephen Walther, David Abrahams, Kathleen Dollard, Juval Lowy, Itzik Ben-Gan, Julie Lerman, Dino Esposito, Scott Meyers, Kate Gregory, and many, many others. Here you get the perspective of the people who are using the products to produce real applications, not just demo apps that look great in front of a crowd.
Which point of view is better? The Microsoft speak or the Third-Party speak. I would argue that neither is better; that you need both to get a well-informed, well-rounded take on Visual Studio, SQL Server, and other software that you need to use day after day to do your jobs. Fortunately, you get both perspectives here at DevConnections.
Noteworthy blog posts:
And day 3 is just beginning...
Which Flavor of Speaker do you prefer?

We know it's not the best reason for bringing a human into the world, but sometimes we just wanna have a baby so we can dress it up in things like this Knitted Mermaid Sleeping Bag ($187) from The Miniature Knit Shop! How freaking adorable is that?!
But then reality sets in and we realize we could probably get two fabulous pairs of shoes for $187, so we tell our biological clock to shut the eff up.
My already full womb just did a cartwheel.
Same here, Magzilla. I think the two pairs of shoes can wait!
I think this post just got me pregnant.

• Severino 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Leon 1-3, R, 2B, BB, RBI
• Marrero 1-3, R, BB
A three-run 3rd would prove to be enough as the Knights inflicted more than a flesh wound on the Chiefs, winning the game 6-2 and eliminating Syracuse from the I.L. playoffs. Starter Tanner Roark surrendered 10 hits for five runs (two earned) over six innings to lose his 17th game. He walked none and struck out five. Chris Marrero and Sandy Leon both went 1-for-3 with a walk while Eury Perez extended his hit streak to 15 with a bunt single in the 3rd.
Richmond 8 Harrisburg 6
• Wang 5IP, 9H, 6R, 6ER, BB, 3K, HR
• Demny (L, 6-8) ⅔IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 2K
• Nicol 2-3, R, RBI
• Solano 2-4, R, RBI
After overcoming a five-run deficit courtesy of Chien-Ming Wang to take a 6-5 lead, the Harrisburg offense ground to a halt in the late innings and fell to Richmond, 8-6. Facing the worst offense in the Eastern League, Wang was hammered for six runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings and struck out three. He also gave up his fifth HR in eight starts with the Senators. Sean Nicol, who replaced Seth Bynum on defense during the middle of an at-bat in the 3rd inning, led the Senators offense with a 2-for-3 game, followed closely by Jhonatan Solano's 2-for-4 effort. No explanation was given for Bynum's replacement, according to Patriot-News beat writer Geoff Morrow.
With Wilmington's win in the sole game in the Carolina League on Monday night, the tragic number for Potomac fell to four with seven games to play in the states of North Carolina and Delaware, where the P-Nats are a "perfect" 0-for-23 this season. The P-Nats trail the Blue Rocks by three games, the Keys by two games, and the Hillcats by a ½ game. Despite playing Wilmington in the final three games, Potomac does not control its own destiny, as Lynchburg can still win the second half title in addition to needing to surpass both Frederick and Wilmington in the standings if that happens. Also, with cancellations for both the Keys and P-Nats last Sunday, it's possible for those two teams to tie atop the Carolina League North and finish a ½ game ahead of the Hillcats and Blue Rocks. Should that happen, there will be a one-game play-in game with Frederick hosting Potomac. Roster moves: RHP Alex Meyer placed on 7-Day DL, RHP Shane McCatty activated from 7-Day DL.
Unlike Potomac or Auburn, Hagerstown is more comfortably positioned to make the playoffs with a four-game lead in loss column and a three-game lead in the Sally League's Northern Division. The three top teams each have seven games left, but the two cancellations the Suns have had in August positions them to possibly win on percentage points with 68 maximum games in the second half to 70 for the Crawdads and Power.
Auburn 12 State College 1
• Encarnacion (W, 5-1) 6IP, 2H, R, ER, BB, 4K
• McGeary 2IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 3K
• Pleffner 3-5, 2R, BB, HR, RBI
• Lopez 3-4, R, 3RBI, E(13)
A seven-run top of the 1st made the outcome of this one a no-doubter as Auburn blasted State College, 12-1. Pedro Encarnacion won his fifth game with just two hits and a walk given up over six innings. The Doubledays pounded out 16 hits with every batter hitting safely and five collecting multiple hits, with Shawn Pleffner and Carlos Lopez both collecting three hits. Batavia was rained out, thus the Auburn lead is 2½ games and the magic number to win the division is down to eight.

Wang? What more is there to say that hasn't already been said?
Is Marrero still on the 40man roster? Sad to say it, but it seems that it will soon be the end of the line for him with the Nats. Too little power for a first baseman and I can't picture him as a pinch hitter off the bench.
Wasn't Marrero the #1 Nats prospect for 2-3 years running.
How far we've come.
speaking of the watchlist, Manny Rodriguez has not throw a pitch this year and I don't recall a mention. Any info as to his whereabouts / health?
Alex Meyer on the 7 day DL. Any word as to why? I know there was some concern about his innings count (129), so I'm hoping this is just a way of playing roster shuffle/taxi squad. Do you think he'll get a look in the AFL?
why is it okay to shut Meyer down for a month and then start him back up again in instructional league (and then possibly the AFL) when that was an exact thing Rizzo didn't want to do with Stras?
Because with Meyer, hes being shut down for 6 days, not 30+. Thats the difference
I really like what Pleffner is doing in Auburn. Can only imagine what next year will be like after adjusting to pro pitching and wood bats
The rule of thumb with developmental people is it takes 600 AB's to take the aluminum out of a hitters swing.
I know Chien Ming Wang has been awful in minors this year. However, what I can't figure out is what really happened after he made such a long, hard recovery from shoulder surgery, flashed glimmer of sinker strength end last year and then "appeared" dominant for a few starts in Spring training. His awkward injury was to his leg but since then, it appears that he has lost his ability to get sink or at least outs. I'm following for afar (china) but can't figure out what really happened. Wish him well and hope he finds a way to get his pitch back.
After seeing his rehab starts up close and personal the last two seasons I can tell you he looks like two different pitchers out there. The guy last year had command and a heavy sink, this year a lot of balls are up and he's working behind a lot of hitters.

longtable with some columns, all of fixed with (e.g.

I have a

The height seams to be a little bit off on the lower rows. I just took the code from @egreg, I didn't know how to get the rowheight. The draw is on the node to show the box it creates so you can see the difference with the actual height. The example would look like this:
Edit: Obviously the difference in the single row column is due to the fact that I used caps in the watermark text, which are higher than the row dimensions. As long as you don't use a watermark that doesn't fit in the row, you will be fine.
Update: To rotate the text is not completely trivial. I don't know of any way to rotate just the text and not the accompanying box. If you turn off the
Alternatively, we could draw two nodes, one with an empty text and one with just the text in it, but not the same size (we have to calculate the placement of course, again not extremely difficult). The only real advantage this has is that it allows you to keep the box! Again, you probably don't care about the box
The placement of the text isn't completely equivalent, I suspect there is an
You can use the old trusted picture environment to position the text behind the row.
How to position the text exactly in the middle and center of the row can be automated, but I am not sure if it is worth the trouble. I am also not sure, if it looks right though; I tend to agree with @egreg that at the margin it may look better, especially with a right pointing arrow or small graphic.
It will look better if the background text is rotated a bit. For this you can use the

#5414 . A Decorative Art Nouveau or Secession Ceramic Pottery Vase. Marked "Germany" and numbered "850". Darkish Brown Ground with colored raised piping to create flowers with a white lined background. The decor has a Nabis feel about it. Reminds me of designs from the Munich School of Art. Jozsef Rippl-Ronai (1861-1927) designed items for The Zsolnay Factory in Pecs Hungary with similiar decorations. Size: 10 1/8' tall; footprint: 4.5".This pottery was made between 1919 and 1929 by the Kunsttöpferei und Majolikafabrik Carl Gebauer (Art-Pottery and Majolica Factory) in Bürgel, Thüringen, a small town near Leipzig. Located near the world-famous cities of Meissen and Dresden, the area is rich with the tradition of pottery-making. Gebauer began his career as a partner in the Neumann & Gebauer factory in Bürgel, founded in 1884, and then set up his own factory in 1892. His works were shown, and received commendations from several exhibitions throughout Germany. In 1920 he was employing 18 workers, exhibiting at the Leipzig fair, and his factory produced a variety of ceramic goods. By 1927 his workforce numbered 30 one of the largest ceramic factories in Bürgel. Once the Berlin Wall was established, Bürgel fell into the territory of the communist GDR. In 1948, the factory was taken into state ownership. Carl Gebauer's brother, Paul, was also a well-known ceramicist. But the Gebauer name is probably best known for Walter Gebauer, son of Paul, a world-renowned potter in the GDR, and highly respected throughout both Germanies for his glazes and technique. Walter, who worked with his uncle Carl from 1922-25, died in 1989. A ceramics museum in Bürgel, Keramik-Museum Bürgel, has a few similiar pieces. Price: $1,250.00.
Item # 5324. A French Palissy Majolica wall platter. Size: 14.5" x 20". Signed in script on the front Renoleau and incised on the back with initials A R. 19th century. Alfred Renoleau was an import designer in his field: palissy ware. This platter consists of 2 fish, 2 frogs and 2 crustrations. Condition: the lower back fin of the larger fish was broken off an reglued back on; There is a significant break and old repair on the bottom left of the platter: size is 4.25" and it is 2" deep with two sections glued back together as shown in the detailed images. P.O.R.
#5252. A rare Hungarian vase. Signed Emil Fischer Budapest. The Ignac Fischer (the father of Emil) was located in Pest but started at his fathers ceramic factory in Tata-tovaros and developed his knowledge in the Herend factory. He founded his own workshop in Pest in 1864 where he first started by only decorating other factory production. He started his own production in 1867. His specialized in decorated Majolica. He exported most of his production as Hungarian specialities. He was successful in the 1880 wining exhibition awards. His son, Emil Fischer took over the factory in 1895 and the factory slowly lost its sovereignty and became the property of the Zsolnay Factory at Pecs. We were told by a Zsolnay Family member that the Zsolnay Factory acquired the Fischer Factory to basically put it out of business. Size: 13" tall with a 5" diameter foot. Circa 1905. Six pierced panels with honey comb design framed with solid bands of polychromed flowers. Gold brocade background; two gold gilt rams support either side of the vase. Condition: flake to the head of one of the rams; top rim tiny edge flakes; no breaks or repairs to the honey comb pierced design. The only other factories that achieved this extremely difficult and style of design were the competing Zsolnay Factory and the Worcester Factory in England. Price $1,500.00.
We offer a selection of fine American Art Pottery From the firm of
D.F. Haynes and Company, Baltimore (1883-85).
# 5183. An American Aesthetic Era pottery pitcher. Attributed to D.F. Haynes and Company -Chesapeake Pottery Co. - Baltimore, Maryland (1883-85). Glazed earthenware, h.6.5". Possibly designed by Frederick Hackney, who was an English potter put in charge of artistic production by Francis Haynes. The factory hired art students, mostly women, from the Maryland Institute School of Design in Baltimore. This example, which may be called Calvert-Ware, came in a variety of colors. Condition: without flaws. We don't know how much of this pottery was produced but if this pitcher was use for milk, soapstone and porcelain kitchen sinks are very unforgiving to pottery, porcelain and glass and few examples have probably survived. P.O.R.
# 5085. An American Aesthetic Era pottery pitcher. Attributed to D.F. Haynes and Company - Chesapeake Pottery Co. - Baltimore, Maryland (1883-85). Glazed earthenware, h.6.5". Possibly designed by Frederick Hackney, who was an English potter put in charge of artistic production by Francis Haynes. The factory hired art students, mostly women, from the Maryland Institute School of Design in Baltimore. This example, which may be called Calvert-Ware, came in a variety of colors. Condition: glaze cracklature consistent with this era pottery; loss of gold gilt highlights. The only mark is a series of hand painted gold numbers on the underside: "4346". We don't know how much of this pottery was produced but if this pitcher was use for milk, soapstone and porcelain kitchen sinks are very unforgiving to pottery, porcelain and glass and few examples have probably survived. P.O.R.
# 5388. A very rare antique American Aesthetic movement Severn Ware Ghooleh art pottery bottle from David Frances Haynes; the bottle is bulbous at the base with a slender cylindrical neck; it was hand thrown and lathe turned; it has an applied gilt trim strip with a repeated gilt arabesque pattern, applied beads circle the base of the neck, also gild and an applied grid pattern with bead bands at it edges, gilded overall; on the upper half of the globe form one side has applied gilt leaves, flowers and buds; on the reverse there is a gorgeous gilt butterfly. Materials: clays, gilt and vitreous glazes/paints. Dominant colors: olive grey-green / gold (the greyish color is not a glaze, it is the cured color of the soils used) Date made: c. 1881 - 1885. Made in Baltimore, Maryland . Designer: David Frances Haynes at Chesapeake Pottery Co. Mr. Haynes was from New Hampshire and worked in a foundry in Baltimore; he was sent south to establish a factory, and in the process became fascinated with qualities and characteristics of clays for molds. He returned to Baltimore and started his new enterprise, taking on partners after 1887. Mr. Haynes was committed to the "art for art's sake" thesis of the Aesthetic Movement, so he did not try to create exquisitely rare and beautiful pieces for the rich in the manner of Tiffany, but rather wanted useful and beautiful items made affordable by the masses. Condition: surface marks consistent with use and age. No cracks or repairs.P.O.R.
# 5387. An American Aesthetic Era Severn Ware Chocolate or Tea Pot. D.F. Haynes Chesapeake Pottery Co. Baltimore, Maryland Haynes introduced "Severn" ware in 1885. It is considered by many collectors as Haynes' most original, most refined and beautiful style. Notice the unique coloration of the fine body which was secured by a combination of clays (rather than with dyes). Production of Severn Ware was for just a short period as it was very expensive to produce. Thrown on wheel with lathe turning to create the classic bands found on these pieces Hand decoration attributed to JAMES CALLOWHILL (1838-1917). Mr. Callohill came to the US in 1885 from England where he was reknowed decorator for Royal Worcester. His stay at Haynes Chesapeake was short - 1885-1887 Just shy of 10" tall Base is 4 1/2" Glossy finish Decorative bands at top and bottom are really special Aesthetic movement japanese inspired design is just gorgeous The detail work is raised gold. Condition: possible restoration to the underside of the lid as shown in a detailed image. No other condition issues. P.O.R.
# 5219. An American Aesthetic Movement pottery pedestal. Manufactured by D.F. Haynes Pottery, Baltimore, MD. circa 1885-90. Size: the top is 12" across with a usable surface 9" across; the pedestal is 24.5" tall. Condition: scuffs consistent with use and age. There was probably a companion jardiniere made for this decor at one time. P.O.R.
# DFH. A rare ceramic pitcher att. to D.F. Haynes of Baltimore, 1883-1885. Glazed Earthenware. App. 5 7/8" tall. Condition: considerable surface ware and edge flaking to the spout. Unmarked. David Francis Haynes purchased Chesapeake Pottery located in Baltimore in 1882. that year he hired and English potter Frederick Hackney to become director of the art pottery production of the factory. In '83, Hackney introduced "Calvert Ware" which is the item depicted above. Form consisted of vases, pitchers and mugs. The style above is fairly representative of many of his designs. Designs reflect an English Middle Age motif. We have had several examples of Calvert Ware, all different forms and colors. This item has been sold {we are always interest in purchasing pitchers and vases with similar decorations.
# 3767. A ceramic / pottery / Pedestal. Made between 1890 and 1910. Thickly glazed dull white surface over a solid composition material. Size: app. 42" tall and the top will support an object 9.5" across. Condition: various flakes and glaze crackelature. This is a very heavy stone like pedestal. Probably made for an indoor conservatory or to be used outside. We had this in our garden for a couple of years with the Newport, Rhode Island cold not affecting the integrity of the pedestal. We have seen a turn of the century catalogue from the firm of Liberty of London that pictured similar garden pedestals and this (unmarked) pedestal may be from the firm of Liberty and Company. Difficult (but possible) to ship. Price: $4,500.00.
# 5141. A French Art Pottery Vase. Etched signature for Gaziello Vallauris. Size: 11.75" or 30cm tall. The metallic glaze varies from top to bottom: copperish on the top to a green on the base. The glaze is a little different on each side. The surface is bumpy with the entire vase having a hand hammered finish. Condition: a rim glaze line from the top down for about 1.5" plus another glaze line on the opposite side of the top, impossible to photograph. Both glaze lines are about the same size; and two under base edge flakes. A very attractive vase. The form is pinched at the top to create a quatrafoil lip with the appearance of fluting almost to the base. Price $1,650.00.
# 4864. A Heliosine Ware pottery Art Nouveau Vase. Circa 1910. 21.5" tall and a 5.5" square base. Marked under the glaze: Heliosine Ware Austria with a crown. Incised Numbers "21039" and "3". We believe that the crown mark is for the firm of Ernst Wahliss. They were a retailer and maunfacturer, opening a shop in Vienna in 1836 with branches in London (1888) Berlin (1896); they were agents for Reissner, Stellmacher & Kessel and Zsolnay. The firm was renamed Alexander Porcelain Works Ernst Wahliss in 1905. This information is from Marks and Monograms of the Modern Movement by Malcolm Haslam which is an excellent reference book (ISBN 0 7188 2291 9) Condition: two very long cracks on oposite sides of the very tall vase from the top down about 8". Rubbing to the dull metallic glaze. A very large example of this most uncommon line of Art Nouveau Ceramics. Price: $950.00.
# 4754. A pottery garden seat. c. 1870's. Size: 22" tall x 12" across at the top x 14" across at the base. Condition: a section of banded border is missing around the base; minor staining and edge flakes consistent with use and age. Country of origin: probably Germany. Consistent with works from the Mettlach Factory. The factory was established in an abbey in Mettlach Germany around 1836 and continued until 1921. Heavy stoneware with three part construction. The pillow at the top is slightly unlevel to allow water to run off the surface. Four rams heads and four dogs heads add to the decorative elements. As a side note: in the Franco Zeffirelli Film La Traviata, three of these garden seats were used in room decorations. The opening scene in Violetta's home as it is being carted off. A pair of these garden seats is seen in Violetta's country home in her garden room going up the stairs. Each garden seat in these scene has a potted plant on it. This sumptuously decorated film used exquisite furnishings. From a local Newport Rhode Island home. This item may be safely shipped via Fedex or United Postal Sevice. The price for this garden seat is: $2,750.00.
Item # 172. A Hungarian Figure of a male. c. 1910-15. Cubist in form. Mark for the Obuda Factory of Budapest Hungary. Incised initials of the artist: "M.Gy." This size of this figure is 9.75" tall. The Glaze: Obuda glazes had some relationship to glazes from the Zsolnay Factory, but they were more reserved. This brown dull metallic glaze has an undertone of green, blue and purple gradiations. Condition: two chips, one on the leg and the other on the base; flea bites to the top of the plateau that the figure is standing on. Most Cubist decorative arts from Central Europe seem to come from Czechslokavia, this exceptional item reflects an international style that was also experiemented with in Hungary. For every 1000 pieces of Zsolnay that comes to the market, you find only one from the Obuda Factory. Price: $1,500.00
# 4840. A Three piece Clock Garniture. Soft Paste Pottery. From the workshop of Jean Pointu working at Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye . Size of the clock is: 19" tall x 13" wide and 7" deep. Each of the two vases at 13" tall x 9" wide and 6" deep. Condition: multiple edge flakes to the very three dimensional applied flowers and leaves. Mark with a factory incised mark. The clock itself strikes on the hour and half hour and is in operating condition. Circa 1880's. The price for the three piece set is: $3,000.00.
# 4342. A 4 piece set including three plates (7" diameter) and a cup and saucer.Copper Lustre rims outline hand painted figures from the Bayeux Tapestry. This art pottery service was meant to be used for display. The only person I know of who worked with copper lustre AND Bayeux Tapestry designs was Louis Dismant who worked at tSubles in Normandy. His mark was incised. The backs of these items is incised marked, but with the initials "RB" in hand written script and the word "BAYEUX". Each piece is marked. I would date the service early 20th century. Condition: edge flakes to the lustre but not to the pottery. Price: $450.00 the set.
# 4678 is an Period Art Nouveau vase. In the Secession Style, turn of the century. Marks: painted gold numbers: "2282/0" "B80" "268". Size 13.33" (34cm) tall. Condition: gold loss consistent with use and age. Glaze: blue background with some silver crystallizations, running, metallic oxides and volcanic concretions. Country of origin: probably France.Ceramists in France experimenting with similiar glazes were: Dalpayrat, Dammouse, Delaherche, Doat, Lachenal, etc. Price: $850.00.
# 3587. Pictured is a majolica jardiniere 10½" tall and 12 " in diameter. Factory mark for Ault (England). Register number: 165933. Consistent with designs and colors used by Dr. Christopher Dresser. Edge restorations. Inquiry

HINCKLEY TWP. — Matthew Willham is going to Otterbein University this fall.
But he's not going alone. He's taking his horse with him — with the help of a major sponsor backing his equestrian career.
"She can be with me at school, and then back home in the summer to compete," the 17-year-old Highland High School senior said.
Willham won a sponsorship from Nutrena, the livestock feed manufacturer, to subsidize him and his horse, Elmgaarden Affair, as they compete in the Olympic sport called "eventing."
Three-day competition includes dressage — guiding a horse through a series of complex maneuvers with minimal movements of the rider's hands, legs and weight — cross country jumping and stadium jumping.
Willham said eventing is considered challenging because the horse and rider have to train for all three events.
"The stadium jumping shows that the horse, after an intense two days of events, can still go over jumps that are easily knocked down with the slightest touch," he said.
Willham is entering his second full year of competitions. He met his horse — a mare, called "Affair" for short — during his training with Kate Coleman, who owned the horse.
"You can't just compete on any horse," Willham said. "It's a partnership. They feed off you and you feed off them."
Willham purchased the horse and continues to train under Coleman.
Affair is a Knabstrupper, a rare Danish breed numbering only about 1,500 worldwide. Affair is one of fewer than 100 horses of her kind in the United States.
Willham said Knabstruppers have the athleticism of "hot-blooded" horses like thoroughbreds combined with the calmer nature of workhorses.
"She's sort of in between," Willham said. "She's got athleticism, but she's also very sweet."
Willham trains out of the Hinckley Equestrian Center, owned and operated by his mother, Renea.
He said he became interested in riding through his mother, who built the Equestrian Center at the corner of Ridge and Ledge roads in 2006.
His mother never rode competitively, Willham said.
"It started out as something to do for pleasure, but I really liked competing," he said.
The Nutrena sponsorship will help Willham and Affair as they train this spring and compete throughout the summer.
In deciding to sponsor Willham, the feed company considered more than his riding ability.
Willham has a 4.4 grade-point average, which includes several advance placement courses. He also volunteers one-day a week with students who have developmental disabilities at the Victory Riding Center in Bath.
"The horses seem to have a special sense with (the students)," he said. "They're so calm around them."
While at Otterbein University, near Columbus, Willham hopes to combine equestrian studies courses and business classes. The school offers a major in equine business management.
Whatever he decided to do, his mother said she will be supportive.
"Whatever he wants to do, we're behind it," she said.

The Host
by Stephenie Meyer
Analysis: Setting
Where It All Goes Down
The Desert, Unknown Time Period
We've Been Through the Desert in a Year with No Name
It's hard to determine the year The Host takes place in. Aside from television, no other modern human technology is mentioned. Wanda sends e-mail, but whether she's using existing human infrastructure or alien technology is unknown. Why does it matter?
Well, it would help us put the attitudes toward women in perspective. There's a lot of talk over who is responsible for Melanie's body—like, "Whoever the body belongs to makes the call" (16.41), says Jeb. And neither Wanda nor Melanie are ever consulted, only the men, usually Jared or Jamie, sometimes Ian.
Could they all be living in the 50s, young Don Drapers trapped in an Invasion of the Body Snatchers ceremony come true, or are they just modern-day chauvinist pigs? Since Wanda knows of The Brady Bunch, this has to be post 1970, so unfortunately, in their return to primitive living, the men have also regressed to primitive behavior. (And is it just us, or this is a pretty common feature of post-apocalyptic stories?)
Here Comes the Rain Again
The deserts of Arizona is an apt setting for The Host, because the human race has found itself in a metaphorical desert—barren, dying, and surrounded by danger.
But in the Epilogue, it rains in the desert. Rains have a tendency of washing things clean and bringing new life. That's exactly what's happening in the epilogue to The Host. The humans and Wanda's species (well, at least two of them) are about to embark on a new journey of co-existence. In addition, they've found other human survivors. The weather is changing, and we don't just mean the cold front moving in. Could the ending be the beginning of a turning point for the human race?

14. Better Way feat Layzie Bone Produced by Just Blaze

I'm seen 3 videos of his that have peeked my interest, and not one of them is on the track list to his album.
After all the work he put in with Statik Selektah I'm shocked that there isn't one Statik produced track on this.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 22 January 1837; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18370122-TC-MAC-01; CL 9:124-128.
Chelsea, 22nd January 1837—
My dear Mother,
I fear I must seem an undutiful son for my silence of late; I have meant to write almost every day these two weeks; but really I have been very busy. Jack's Letter, which comes with this, signified to me that for you it would contain little new, as you had received one like it, shortly before, of your own. Tho' accompanied only by this poorest dud you ever read, it shall go off now, without waiting longer.
The best news I can send you is as it were conveyed without writing. Do you know the nature of that scrap of print? It is a piece of the Book! The Book is actually done, all written to the last line; and now after the usual higgling and maffling [procrastinating], the Printers have got fairly afloat, and we are to go on with wind and sea. There is still a great deal of constant business for me, in correcting the Press,—as much as I can do, we will hope; for they are to print with all the rapidity they are capable of; and I make a good many "improvements" as we go on, especially in the first volume. It will be six weeks yet; and then the Book will be about ready; and a copy will go off for Scotsbrig, I am thinking, as early as any other. Take that scrap of print, in the meanwhile, as a good omen; like the leaf that Noah's dove brought in the bill of it.1— I have had a very sore wrestle, for two years and a half: but it is over you see, and the thing is there. I finished about ten O'clock at night on friday gone a week;2 really with a feeling of thankfulness, of waeness [sadness], and great gladness. I could almost have grat [wept], but did not. Jane treated me to "a bread pudding" next day; which bread pudding I consumed with an appetite got by walking far and wide, I daresay almost twenty miles, over this "large and populous city."3 My health is really better than anybody could expect: the foundations of this lean frame of mine must be as tough as wire: if I were rested a little, I shall forget the whole thing; and have a degree of freedom and lightness of heart unknown to me for a long while.
As to the reception the Book is to meet with, I judge that there will [be] ten enemies of it for one friend; but also that it will find friends by and by; in fine, that, as brave old Johnson said, "useful diligence will at last prevail."4 It is not altogether a bad Book. For one thing, I consider it to be perhaps the sincerest Book this Nation has got offered it for a good few years; or is like to get for a good few. And so I say to them, "Good Christian people, there it is! Shriek over it, since ye will not shout over it; trample it and kick it, and use it in all ways ye judge best: if ye can kill it and extinguish it, then in God's name do! If ye cannot,—why then ye will not. My share in it is done."— That is the thing I propose to say, within my own mind, to "ma' friend Charles Little,"5 and all manner of other friends and foes, about this matter. One infallible truth, most precious for us all, is, that I am shot [rid] of it, and you are all shot of it.— So let us print with despatch till the Finis is printed; and then shut our lips as to it for a twelvemonth coming.—
Since Jack's Letter, I have incidentally had two notices of him. One was thro' John Sterling, to whom in the South of France he had been writing; and reported himself well. The other was a Newspaper from himself at Rome within these three days. It had two strokes on it, in token that all was still tolerably right.— Whether he is likely to get much practice in Rome one does not see hitherto; but he starts on a safe basis, that of being supported already. It does seem he is getting somewhat to do. I wrote to him, requesting more explicit accounts next time.
I have sent you my best news; and must now send you my worst;—which happily is not of a deadly nature either. It concerns this Influenza, which all the world has; which poor Jane who never misses anything of that kind, could not escape. She took it, eight days ago precisely; with cough, pains in the back, &c; and being otherwise unwell at the time, she suffered really sharply for some days. There was the utmost weakness, incessant coughing; sometimes violent headache; really a hard business. However, for the last three days she has been decidedly better; the last two days especially she has got round fast: the cough is brought under; and we hope it is mainly over. She is sitting writing a little, behind me, at this moment.— There never was any such universal thing seen here in my time; "everybody sick" &c &c; as you will notice abundantly by the Newspapers. The truth is, our weather is the nastiest that mortal need wish: fog, damp and frost and rain, in perpetual round. Many a time I think what is becoming of you in Scotland; for the Disease seems to extend all over this quarter of the world; and your climate at Scotsbrig is not likely to be to be [sic] much better than ours. I pray you, dear Mother, to neglect no precaution. Avoid going out, especially in morning or evening; keep roaring fires on, to drive away this poisonous damp: above all, see that "you take something to do you good"; a good garrison within makes always the best feature of the defence. I pray Alick, when he reads this, to ascertain that you have a Keg of right ale; and to get you one directly if need be; that is, if one is not already got. I am sure he will attend to this.— If indeed you had already taken the disorder!— But I am going on the principle of hoping to the last. At all events, somebody must write to me with all convenient despatch. A Letter: it is not safe to deal in Newspaper conveyance. There came a Newspaper here, last week, charged 19 shillings and odd pence, for being "written on," as they had marked it. I looked at it; could not for my life say whose hand it was: it looked like Alick's; but might be Hanning's. I, of course, refused it (as indeed the Postman directed me to do, being a very civil body): but I fancy we ought to take warning by it for they will be on the outlook now.6
I wrote to poor little Jenny at Manchester this last week: I try to believe that she is getting round again. I told them all my news that seemed likely to interest; and asked them to write. I also strove to impress on Jenny the necessity of careful regimen, exercise and attention to health, such as she had not been used to at Scotsbrig, but which that smoky confusion of a Manchester infallibly requires.
There are two bits of scraps for Dumfries,7 which you must send on, under cover to James Aitken as soon as you can. They are about the Herald Newspaper for John; as you will see explained in his Letter. I care nothing about it for myself: James and Jean, if they like, may take a glance of it at Dumfries, and then send it on to Manchester; it will still be in time here. I mentioned it to Jenny: it might be a kind of good to her where she is.—— Alick will now therefore understand how it is that he has been so ill dealt with about his Courier of late: I have sent it always on to Jack; but the instant this Herald is set on foot, we return to the old plan. Tell him farther I wish much to have a Letter from him. What do you say about America? I dare not say anything about it more. May a good Counsellor assist to judge what is best! Alick has had a sore enough wrestle, poor fellow; but we will not be beaten yet. We are nothing like beaten.
This unfortunate sheet is done, however! You seldom got a verier dud; but it was all I could engage for. I thought I should have had more leisure while the Proof-correcting went on; but I must crave farther delay. I beg you all to remember me; and be good to me till you see me,—and when you see me! I trust that is coming too; not far off us now.— The Lecturing Speculation, which I spoke of in my Letter to Jean, has taken no shape yet, and is neither off nor on: I cannot get it attended to for the present. We have a fresh supply of cash (for this Mirabeau); and were not thro' the old: "always been provided for." Our oatmeal is done; we sup on arrow-root, milksops, &c, reasonably well.— I mean to send you all copies of that Diamond Necklace Paper (and of the other too),—if possible in the beginning of February; but the people are unpunctual blockheads, so I promise nothing. Good night my dear Mother; may God be near you all! Jane sends her love to every one of you. I will not be so long in writing again; especially now that Franks are come in fashion once more.— I had a million other things to say; but they remain all unsaid. Surely I shall see you all before long. Surely this wretched damp mist will blow away, and there will be blue sky and sunshine. Good night my dear mother mia [madre.] Your affectionate
