This tip introduces briefly how to reinstall Windows on the machines built with Rapid Drive.
This tip can be applied to the machines supporting Lenovo Rapid Drive technology.
1. What does Lenovo Rapid Drive technology do?
Combines SSD and HDD capacity together in virtual C drive. With OS and applications installed in SSD, speed up system performance.
Fig. 1
2. What is RapidDrive used for?
The driver is used to combine SSD with HDD.
Fig. 2
3. The schema of Rapid driver:
Fig. 3
4. How to get the RapidDrive driver package?
This driver package can be downloaded from the link:
Then double-click the downloaded .exe file, and it should extract to "C:\Drivers\RapidDrive\" automatically. Go to the path of
"C:\Drivers\RapidDrive\", you can find the driver setup file and the RapidDrive Tool, which is located in the folder of "tool".
Fig. 4
5. Steps to reinstall Windows on the machines built with Rapid Drive technology
The over-all procedure is shown below:
Fig. 5
(1) Step 1. Run "RapidDriveTool.exe" to separate SSD and HDD
Before reinstalling Windows, the tool of "RapidDriveTool.exe" should be run (run as administrator) in Windows or in Windows PE (if the current Windows crashed) to separate SSD and HDD.
"RapidDriveTool.exe" can be found in the folder of "Tool" in the RapidDrive package. The driver package is shown below.
Fig. 6
(2) Step 2. Reinstall Windows
After run "RapidDriveTool.exe", restart the computer, and boot from Windows installation DVD. Select SSD disk to install Windows. The disk 0 is the SSD disk. You may need to re-create the partitions in SSD. The following screenshot is for demo only, and the partitioning may be different from yours.
Fig. 7
Note: Boot the computer from Windows installation DVD to install Windows at the first powering-on after running "RapidDriveTool.exe". Once entering Windows, you need to run the tool again to separate disks.
(3) Step 3. Install RapidDrive to combine SSD and part of HDD
After Windows installation is finished, boot into Windows. Before installing RapidDrive, you should make sure there is an unallocated space, which will be combined into SSD to form a virtual C partition, existing at the beginning of the HDD, shown below.
Fig. 8
Run "Setup.exe"(run as administrator) to install RapidDrive.
Fig. 9
Reboot the computer, and the SSD and the unallocated space of HDD should be combined together to create a virtual C partition, shown below.
Fig. 10
For now, Windows reinstallation is completed.
1) Which machine comes with RapidDrive?
A. The machine with following icon supports RapidDrive.
Fig. 11
B. Users can buy the SSD and download the driver from Lenovo. And their machines should be ready for the RapidDrive. For example, Y460, Y560 and so on.
2) If OS (Windows 7) is installed on HDD, not SSD. What will happen?
It doesn't support RapidDrive. However, the machine can work well in this situation like a normal one with a SSD plugged without RapidDrive driver.
If RapidDrive driver is installed on this condition, it will cause "Blue Screen".
3) If installing OS on SSD without RapidDrive driver, what will happen?
The machine will have the whole SSD to be the system partition.
4) Can users uninstall RapidDrive Driver?
No, they can't.
When a new version driver is released, the old one can be replaced.
The relevant information about the driver can NOT be found in the Control Panel and Registry to prevent users from destroying the driver which will cause the crash.
5) What will happen if unplugged the SSD on the RapidDrive machine?
The operation system and drivers are located on the SSD. If unplugged, the machine is crashed.
6) Can SSD be found in the Device Manager?
7) Can SSD be found in the Disk Management?
No. There is a bug when checking the disk.
Fig. 12
8) How to adjust the partitions?
For non-RapidDrive machines, some tools can be used to merge / delete / adjust the partitions, for example, "Acronis Disk Director Suite".
For RapidDrive machines, only the tool preloaded on Windows 7 is supported.
9) Which may cause the crash of the machine (relating to RapidDrive)?
A. Install OS and RapidDrive driver on HDD.
B. The HDD is replaced. Some drivers may locates on it.
C. Some files used to maintain system partition (SSD+HDD) is damaged. They can be restored with OKR.
D. The 5th primary partition was created through some tools. Only 4 primary partitions are available, so delete it using the same tool. When allocating partitions on HDD, make sure the primary ones are less than 4.
E. Master Boot Record (MBR) of HDD was damaged. MBR can be fixed with some tools.
F. SSD can not be detected.

The boyfriend has been identified as 32-year-old Byron Earl Gee, a convicted criminal.
According to the Houston Police Department, Gee took lStephanie Lavette Phillips around 4:30 a.m. An Amber Alert was issued shortly before 7 a.m.
Police said Gee took the baby from the Brays Oaks Apartments in the 6400 block of W. Bellfort, then ran across the street to another complex. Witnesses said he was running door-to-door, baby in hand, trying to get someone to open up. When no one would, he went after one woman who was on her way to work.
"He told her to help him, to take him somewhere, but she told him that she had to go to work," said Daisy Gomez, the woman's sister. "He told her not to answer the phone and not to call nobody and, like, he saw that she pushed the green button to answer, that's when everything happened."
Gee then stole the woman's white 1999 Ford Expedition with license plate number DK3N645.
Gee is 5 feet 8 inches tall and was last seen wearing black pants, a black shirt and no shoes. According to records, he has been convicted of two felonies and three misdemeanors since 2001.

(Courtesy of the VHTRC)
It's been a very long road back to the VHTRC's notorious Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. Times have changed quite a bit since my only attempt back in 2009. That year, as a novice 100 mile runner, Bryan Powell's popular iRunFar page predicted me for a top 10 finish. The whole article can be seen at this address http://www.irunfar.com/2009/05/2009-massanutten-100-mens-race-preview.html
However, it is safe to say that the 2009 MMT went horribly wrong, and ended up turning into a day and night of chaos. The race itself was a logistical disaster, and fortelling of the real pain to come. By mile 35 I was already extremely dehydrated, and by the halfway point I was 3 hours slower than my projected pace time. I ran uncrewed, and because my pacing so was much slower than expected my night gear and cool weather clothing were several hours away from the point I needed them. The 2009 event saw two storms roll through, and the second being a dangerous cold front that dropped the daytime temperatures from the upper 80's to below 60. I got caught on the highest point of the course (Bird Knob) in the worst part of the storm. Lightning was scattered along the ridgeline and I was getting pelted with stinging hail and driving rains. Needless to say, within minutes I was soaked to the bone, freezing, and now in the dark without night gear. After an hour of walking, mild hypothermia started setting in, and I was forced to drop considering my only change of clothes was still over 15 miles away.
As tough as the race was, the real suffering had yet to happen. At 1:00am a volunteer was driving myself and another runner who dropped back to the start/finish area. Minutes later on the wet winding roads of Fort Valley our driver momentarily fell asleep and the vehicle ran off the road. We slammed into a tree at 40 mph leaving the vehicle in a precarious position hanging off the side of the road. The headlights pointed aimlessesly into the canopy of trees while the horn continuously echoed into the darkness. The second passenger, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the backseat and smashed into the front windshield and landed on top of me (I was in the passenger seat). The car was filled with airbag fumes, and my legs were a bloody mess from where the crushed dash board had sliced off all my skin. As I collected myself and assessed I had no major broken bones, I forced myself out of the car. My door was pinned closed by a rock, so I crawled at a 45 degree angle out of the driver's side. Once out, the driver helped flag down help, and I pulled the other injured passenger out of the vehicle. Within an hour EMS arrived and I was being treated for major lacerations, and the other passenger for internal bleeding and head trauma.
That was how my 2009 MMT happened, and I still have the scars to remember it by. It's now been a four year wait to get back and reunite with a place I have such hauntingly vivid memories. In 2010, for obvious reasons, I had no desire to run MMT, but chose to volunteer at the route 211 and picnic area aid stations. In 2011 I actually got into MMT on the lottery, but because I also got selected in the Western States lottery, I opted not to run MMT. That year I ended up pacing the 3rd place female, Kathleen Cusick. In 2012, I was nearly dead last in the lottery, and withdrew my name and opted to run Old Dominion as a last second run. As a pleasant surprise Old Dominion ended up being one of my best 100 mile runs to date. And now the 2013 MMT is less than 10 days away. I am coming off nearly six months of injuries, but managed to squeek in five strong weeks of training. Needless to say, my only goal is to finish and to finally redeem my 2009 DNF.
Race Preview
Kathleen Cusick- Fresh off a breakthrough win at the Vermont 100, Kathleen is due at MMT. She's always strong and always a contender for a top three. Sheryl has gotten the best of her at every meeting thus far, but I think this year will be different. Predict 25:30 for the win.
Sheryl Wheeler- The 2010 MMT women's champ is back again. Sheryl is known for going out conservative, but closes out the final 35 miles of MMT as strong as anyone I know. Predict 26:18
Jordan Wirfs-Brock- From Colorado, I think she will surprise some of us East coasters. Predict 26:45 for 3rd.
Megan McGrath- Ran 7:26 at Tussey Mountainback. Has the speed, but not the experience of the other women. Predict 4th in 27:10
Sheila Rao- Has had some really impressive runs this year and last, including a solid BRR. I could see her near 27 hours, if not better, and a top five.
Robin Watkins- Has yet to run 100 miles, but I think she will have a solid debut. Predict 27:40 for 6th.
Jess Mullen- From WA, she has pretty good experience and speed at 100 miles. Possibly sub 28 hours, but they don't have our kind of rocks in WA. Predict 28:15
Kerry Owens- Sometimes experience pays, and Kerry has a ton. I suspect a finish around 28 hours and a top eight.
Courtney Nestor- I was impressed with her running during the MMT 2 training run. Easily a sub 30 candidate and rounding out the top ten women. Predict 29:35
James Blandford- Simply put, James has been taking it to a whole new level in the past two years, and somehow stayed under the radar. Ran 20:31 last year, but his 6:39 at Bull Run Run shows he's more fit than ever. Predict 19:44 for the win.
Mike Mason- Mike is one of the most experienced contenders in the field, and he has done well at MMT. Predict 20:50 for 2nd.
Patrick McGlade- Ran an impressive, albeit unofficial 57.4 miles in 8:04 at the Icy 8 Hour. His speed has taken off recently, and he's had success at 100 miles. Not sure how he will fair on the rocks. Predict 21:30 for third.
Brad Hinton- Brad was already fast, but has gotten even faster in the last couple years. Still only has one 100 mile finish. Predict 21:40
Jason Lantz- Doesn't look to be in the same shape as last year, but since he's the defending champ, I got to think he's capable of a top 3. Predict 21:45
Denis Mikhaylov- Darkhorse pick. Won the rugged Virgil Crest 100 in 21:34. Predict 22:40
Evan Cestari- Ran 21:32 in 2011 and 19:33 at Oil Creek. Definitely going to be near the top 5. Predict 22:10
Keith Knipling- A perennial favorite at MMT, I think we'll see Keith come in around 23 hours and top 6. Predict 22:58
Ryan Henry- Always runs well at MMT and has gone under 24 hours several times. Predict 23:15
Jim Harris- The quiet guy that always crushes tough 100's. I think Jim will be in the top 8, and perhaps close to 23 hours. Predict 23:23
John Dove- Lots of experience, and he has won Pinhoti and Georgia Jewell 100 milers. Predict 23:30
Other's guys to pay attention to and potential sub 24 hours:
Barry Lass- fast and relatively unknown. Broke 24 hours at Grindstone. Might just sneek under 24. Predict 23:50
Joe Dudak- Ran 23:16 at Grindstone, and 12:24 at Hellgate 100k. The longer the race, the better he seems to run. Predict 24:30
Rande Brown- Rande surprised a lot of folks with his 22:11 last year. Will lightning strike twice? Predict 25 hours and a top 15
Matt Bugin- One of the fastest guys, but with no 100 mile experience. Predict 26:30, but obviously capable of much faster.
Ryan Nebel- He's been training hard, and has a great mix of speed and endurance. He's run some solid races this spring. Potentially a sub 24 hour finisher. Predict 25:15
AJ Cillo- He's a strong runner that I wouldn't be surprised to also see near 24 hours. Predict 24:45
Ryan O'dell- Has run sub 17 hours for 100, but on roads. Predict 24:40
David Ploskonka- Dave crushed the ultra scene last year, but has not had the same intensity this year. He has run sub 18 at Old Dominion, 8th at Badwater, and sub 24 last year at MMT. Predict 26:10
Ryan Meulemans- Ran 24:08 last year and was the first runner over 24 hours. It's tough to get that close. I think he'll be gunning for sub 24 for sure. Let's hope he gets it. Predict 23:59 just to give the nod for sub 24.
Padraig Mullins- Little known guy from MA. Ran 9:22 for 100k. Who knows?
Julian Vicente- Ran under 24 hours last year, and his experience will only make him wiser this year. Probably another sub 24
Good luck everyone. See you on May 18th

UBS adds two to Americas FIG team
UBS has added two new managing directors to its team of investment bankers serving financial clients in the US, taking senior bankers from Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs to bolster the unit.
Tannon Krumpelman and Doug Simons have both joined the Swiss bank's financial institutions group as managing directors, according to an internal memo seen by Financial News. The FIG team sits within UBS's corporate client solutions unit, which comprises advisory, equity and debt capital markets and financing.
The memo, sent by Greg Kennedy and Steve Pierson, co-heads of the bank's financial institutions group in the Americas, said the hires were made "in order to strengthen our FIG franchise and further our ability to deliver to clients in this high priority sector".
UBS has not made the top 10 rankings for Americas FIG investment banking activity since 2010, when it ranked ninth, according to data provider Dealogic.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs occupied the top five rankings for overall FIG banking activity in the Americas last year. European houses Deutsche Bank, Barclays and Credit Suisse ranked seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively.
Kennedy and Pierson wrote in the memo: "We are delighted these two outstanding professionals will be joining UBS to help broaden and deepen our FIG team. We have been strategically rebuilding our FIG franchise over the last year and are positive that Doug and Tannon will have an immediate impact given their extensive experience and relationships."
Krumpelman previously spent nine years at Goldman Sachs, where he was named a managing director in 2011. During his tenure at the bank, he focused on developing its domestic mid-cap depository investment banking business. Clients he has worked with include Suntrust, BankUnited and Bankia.
Simons was most recently a bank coverage officer at Swiss rival Credit Suisse and worked with US banks and financial firms on balance sheet strategies. Major deals he has worked on include Capital One's purchase of Chevy Chase Bank and BB&T's acquisition of Colonial BancGroup.

How do I determine if my research involves human subjects?
Determining this can be surprisingly complicated and depends on a variety of factors. There are a number of questions to think about as you determine whether you will need IRB approval:
- Does my work involve human subjects? For purposes of IRB review, a "human subject" is defined as "a living individual about whom an investigator conducting research obtains (1) data through interaction or intervention with the individual or (2) identifiable private information." (45.CFR 46.102).
- Is my work research? For purposes of IRB review, "research" is defined as "a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge." (45.CFR 46.102).
- Do you intend to collect information and then present it to a public audience or at a conference?
- Do you intend to publish findings or disseminate information based upon your work?
- Will you be conducting interviews, surveys or focus groups?
- Will you need access to sensitive data or records?
- Is there any way to link the data you plan to collect with identifying information?
- Are you seeking grant funding?

Good for you! Sounds like you have a very good plan.
You might want to check out these web pages:
Good for you! Sounds like you have a very good plan.
You might want to check out these web pages:
I was able to get Ella to the breast after 6 weeks of not nursing, during that time I was pumping so I did maintain a supply - so I can't really help you there - but I can help with the refusal! I had flat nipples and one thing I did was wear shields to draw them out. I also watched the videos on correct latching on Dr. Newman's breastfeeding website http://www.breastfeedingonline.com/newman.shtml Next - I attempted to nurse her when she was full and sleepy - we just laid in bed together and I would gently pop my nipple in her mouth to comfort suck. The first time that worked, I was overjoyed! Next, after we comfort sucked for about a week - I decided to go for it. I used a Nipple Shield (warning, the use of these is controversal, but it saved our bf relationship!) - I used it so it would mimick the feel of the bottle nipple in her mouth - I gave her a few sips of the bottle of EBM to satisfy her instant hunger - then I switched to my nipple and she took it!!! It took about another week for us to wean off the nipple shields and we are still going strong.
Other things I did:
-More Milk Plus herbs to boost my supply
-Bathed with her 2X a day
-Paced bottle feeding
-LOTS and LOTS of skin to skin contact
-Didn't give up!!
After she switched over - she nursed LITERALLY round the clock! We just sat in a recliner, watched Oprah and nursed, nursed, nursed. It was the best thing we ever did - Its worth it now, all that hard, hard work is totally worth it!
You can do it - Don't give up!!! I am cheering you on!!!!!

Thank You
First off, I am super pumped and excited about the huge feature on the front page of MLBlogs for me and my blog. It was after the game yesterday afternoon when I randomly checked the front page, and it totally shocked me. And I mean shocked. I've been the featured blog before, but this was just amazing! Thanks so much to all you guys for reading and supporting me as I blog about these tough Padres. You guys are amazing. I'm just thankful that God's given me the ability to write and that I can be in this great community of baseball fans. Thank you!
Yesterday, the Padres did not do too well. I had the radio on for almost the entire game, but I really didn't catch much of it mostly because I was chatting with Jeff Moorad (more on that later).
Kevin Correia started, giving up three runs in five innings. The big blast was a two-run homer to Chris Iannetta. The bullpen wasn't that great. Cla Meredith gave up three runs. Arturo Lopez made his major league debut and didn't get an out. Luis Perdomo and Edwin Moreno pitched well, but the damage was done by then.
On the offensive side, all you can say is Aaron Cook and Adrian Gonzalez. Cook absolutely shut us down. He basically didn't allow anything until the seventh. Adrian hit a solo homer, then Henry Blanco hit a two-runner later in the inning. In the eighth, Adrian hit his second homer of the day, this time a two-run shot. We got within two runs, but we lost 7-5.
With his eighth and ninth homers of the season yesterday, Adrian broke the Padres record for homers in April. But that doesn't matter to him, since they didn't win the game.
And yes, we were wearing the sand uniforms. I tried to warn them!! Those things need to be burned. Incinerated. Pulverized. Destroyed!!
Yesterday afternoon, Jeff Moorad particiapated in an online chat with a bunch of fans. I was one of them. I submitted nine questions and five of them got answered, so that was pretty cool. Jeff talked with the fans for an hour, which surprised me. Last time I did a chat, it was with Chase Headley and he did only half an hour.
Jeff got a lot of good questions, and he answered them pretty well. It was a lot of fun to participate in! But they didn't give him my question about getting Trevor back…
My favorite part of the chat:
peavy44fan: Do you think the Padres could win the World Series?
j_moorad: I won't rest until we do.
I love that about him. He's totally commited to bringing a World Series to San Diego. It's very cool. Here's the chat trascript if you would like to read it: Padres CEO Moorad chats with fans
It was a sad day for Padres baseball since we lost the game and the series to the Rockies, but we're still in second place, only 2.5 games behind. It just amazes me that we can be so bad, play so terribly, and still be doing very well in the division. That's the NL West for you. Colorado took the series from us, but they are still at the bottom of the NL West and still 2.5 games behind us. Crazy…
But now we are going to play the division-leading Dodgers for four games at Dodger Stadium. Maybe we can overtake them! Haha. That would be pretty cool, though. We have to get a series split at least. Tonight Josh Geer is pitching against James McDonald.

Congrats on the home page feature! And very cool that Moorad took so much time to answer the fans' questions. It bodes well for the future of the team.
Thats Awesome That you got on the home page!!!!!! I hope I am on the home page someday, but it probably won't happen. My blog isn't as popular as you are!! But anyways, Congrats on the home page. We need to beat the Dodgers today. This is a HUGE game for us.
Go Padres!!!!!!!!!
Looking good on the mlblogs home page!!! Congrats!!! I will admit, Cook looked great during that game. And it's about time too, I swear, that guy hasn't lasted more than four innings since the season started.
Loved the home page! And I think it's great that you all got to participate in the Q & A with Moorad!
congrats on the home page article!!! i hope that, even though the padres are without hoffman, they can win big this year. they are off to a good start. have fun blogging and i look forward to readin more of your articles.
Nice work Kaybee!!!!!
You deserve to be on the home page…..even if you are a Padre fan!!!
It's pretty cool that you can be playing so bad and still do well in the division like you said. I'm a Yankee fan and I'm stuck in the A.L. East which is probably the toughest division in the bigs. I wish it was a little like the N.L. West but then, where would be the competition? THat's no fun!
Congrats on the feature blog! =) Hope the Padres whoop som Dodgers butts. lol
~ King of Cali
Well I thank you for representing Padres pride🙂 Jeff Moorad is definitely a great guy. We NEED to beat LA tonight!!
Sorry I missed your front-page mention! Congrats on making it "above the fold"! Keep up the good work!
I'm glad a Padres fan said what I have thought all along about those Padres "sand" uniforms. I think your home uniforms look GREAT, and I also like the blue jerseys your guys wear. Those "sand" uniforms, though, make them look like a chain gang! ("Uh, San Diego Jail called, they want their jumpsuits back"…) They do need to be pulverized!
God Bless, Kaybee!
Just wanted to say "congrats" on the MLBLOG feature story. You deserve it!!
Trevor time in Milwaukee is in full swing. I witnessed his 1st and 2nd saves as a Brewer from the 3rd row…pics coming soon. Feel free to copy them off my blog for your own collection.

Be brave and send "The Wave" to it's grave
6/7/09 My 300th Entry!
Wow, take a few days off from blogging and the Rockies get their sheet together so to speak. The Rockies are confusing to me. I'm enjoying the ride but I never exactly know where we're going or how long we're staying.
Such is life if you're a Rockies fan.
What is "The Wave" ?
A repeating and periodic disturbance which moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.
Where did "The Wave" originate?
Depending on who you talk to there are several people who lay claim this honor. The first was a guy named "Krazy" George Henderson who according to some started the first wave at an Oakland A's game in October 1981.
Another of the theories says that the first wave was attempted at a Washington Huskies football game in 1981 by TV personality Robb Weller and Bill Bissell the marching band director.
There are others who claim to have started "The Wave" but it was 1986 World Cup in Mexico that took "The Wave" worldwide.
It was referred to as "The Mexican Wave" or "La Ola" by the broadcasters.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it is officially time for Rockies fans to retire our washed up version of "The Wave".
Below is an example I filmed of a Coors Field "Wave".
Most of 'The Waves" at Coors Field are much worse than that. I think "The Wave" has outlived it's usefulness and now it's just an embarrassment to witness such a wimpy display of wavemenship.
This discouraging display of dexterity could be the reason the Rockies have played poorly at Coors Field this season.
It's not like the players can't see this pathetic performance from their patrons. Maybe witnessing the washed up wave gets inside their heads and messes with their flow.
You never know? Hecklers swear by it.
I say no more. Never again will I let the "just go with the flow" type of mentality entice me to stand up while juggling a camera, brat and my baseball glove.
Next time you're at a game and you begin to "Feel it" and you think you should be the one to stand up and start the wave in your section…
Don't, don't do it. Resist that urge to make an fool of yourself.
If you have to stand up and do something, start a chant. Every time you stand up and perform "The Wave" you're waving our chances of a win right out of the stadium.
Let's end this knee jerking nonsense now. Baseball is a very superstitious sport. I think a poorly performed wave sends a message of "I don't care" and I have to believe that all Rockies fans care.
I don't want to be part of sending the wrong message.
You won't see this Rockies fan taking the risk of spilling his six-dollar drink again.
Let's do the right thing and send the wave to it's grave.
The Wave is not a Coors Field tradition. We need to think of our own tradition.
I say any opposing teams home run ball that is caught or snagged should be tossed not onto the field but into the visiting teams bullpen.
Stand up and be heard as you take a seat against the wave🙂
Go Rockies, bring that win streak home…D

I always take part in 'the wave,' but I really don't get the point of it. And why is it called 'the wave?' Can anyone actually see you? If they could? Who, in particular, are you waving to? Also, why doesn't the crowd say 'Hello' when they wave? That is what I do. I say 'hello,' because I actually pretend that I am waiving.
I know that sounds like a Jerry Seinfeld bit, but I really don't get 'the wave' either. They always do at Jay games too!
HOMIE-That's funny brotha. You're right, most people say woooooo when they do the wave. If they said Hello at least it would make sense?…D
Haha! I'd say that is a pretty darn good wave, for Coors field. I've seen much, much sadder ones than that, heehee. I will join in if a good one comes around, but most of the time I just pretend I don't see those pathetic attempts . 😀
Hey D. . . FOUR in a ROW!! Wooooooot!!!
Rockpile Ranter! Whats up! I'm going to see my hometown Brewers take on the Rockies soon, do you have any tips/nicknames/tricks for winning the Rockies over? Who is the friendliest? Who shouldnt I waste my time on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Shawn,
My advice is to get as close to the Rockies dugout about 45 minutes to an hour before the game starts. If Iannetta is playing he has a pre-game warmup ritual of signing for 5 minutes or so. Spilborghs is really good about signing before the game. It's about 50/50 as to whether each individual player signs here at Coors Field on any given game. I know the Rockies are really good about supporting their fans on the road so good luck with that Shawn. Let me know how you did…D
Hey D,
300? Wow. Keep'em coming. I'll look forward to #1000.
Love the idea of throwing the opposing team's homerun ball in their bullpen. Ha! Ha! And yeah, the wave is kind of done. Would be cool to come up with something unique. Maybe you could have a contest to see what else we could do.
Go Rockies!
OMG, I so do not like the wave. It's more suited to football, with the bowl-like stadiums. It just doesn't work as well in a baseball park, and besides, I'm trying to pay attention to the game (imagine that!).
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
PLEASE!! Kill the wave. I hate it so much!! It's the most annoying thing to ever have existed… well, one of the most annoying things.
R-LUV-Thanks, I'll make a thousand, bet on it.
JULIA-To each is own. I won't hold it against you🙂
SUE-Agreed, I don't like the distraction.
EMILY-It's right up there with sitting in front of a drunk heckler…D
Rant Man –
Per our discussion of today, here
is the link to the column I wrote about the wave for Boston Baseball magazine.
That was 1995, and I was sick of it then!
welikeroywelikeroy – It doesn't take a physics major to understand that it's
called "the wave" because someone thought it looked like a roiling ocean
wave. It's not because you're waving at somebody.
And, please stop it!
Douglas-I'll check that out. Thanks for the link. You're an interesting fella to talk to should be some good reading as you've been doing this for a while…D

Corporate welfareDecember 04,2012
Vermont ranks sixth among the states in per-capita spending for tax breaks for business. Thats according to an extensive review by The New York Times showing how all across the country companies play one region against another to exact a variety of tax benefits.
It is easy to see why Vermont and other states decide they need to dole out subsidies and other tax breaks for companies. Big national or international companies can choose where they are going to build a plant, or whether they will stay there. They have the leverage, and as they make their decisions they can negotiate deals with states eager to add jobs.
Vermonters face the continuous worry that companies already here will pack up and move to North Carolina or China. And Vermont development officials know that companies considering whether to move to Vermont may also be looking at offers in other states where officials are willing to exempt them from a big share of their tax load.
The result is a race to the bottom with companies exploiting the eagerness of state or local officials to slash taxes in order to land a big employer. Often, as in Vermont, tax breaks come with conditions. In Vermont employers have to show that the subsidies will create jobs that would not otherwise be created. But sometimes, companies benefit from outright giveaways.
According to the Times study, the top beneficiaries in Vermont over the past 15 years have been Husky Injection Molding Systems, IDX Systems Corp., King Arthur Flour, Dealer.com, Skypoint Solar, Mack Molding and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Vermonters appreciate that these companies employ people, but there is a cost to the benefits these companies are receiving.
The millions of dollars in tax breaks padding those bottom lines are dollars that must be provided by someone else. And in recent years, that someone else has been hard pressed to continue to support the important services provided by the public sector. The result is that as big companies add to their profits, cities and states are slashing school budgets, closing libraries and deferring repairs on decrepit roads and bridges.
Journalist David Cay Johnston has detailed the many ways that companies take advantage of the system, producing a society where inequality in wealth is comparable to that in Brazil, Mexico or Russia. In his book Free Lunch, he shows how the margin of profit for some companies consists entirely of the money they get from the government.
Increasingly, the mechanisms of our economy are designed to funnel money upward. Banks and credit card companies, until recent reforms, were allowed to charge usurious rates. Telecommunications companies charge more in the United States for service, and provide less service, than they do in Europe. Also, gambling, once considered a vice whose primary effect is to impoverish people, has now become prevalent and encouraged by government. It still impoverishes people, but it also enriches casino owners, some of whom enjoy government subsidies.
It is hard to break free of the iron grip of corporations. The threat that they will relocate or outsource is real. But if recognition of the problem were to spread and states stopped competing for the privilege of being fleeced, then companies would have to incorporate their share of taxes into their bottom line. Consumers could cover it. Meanwhile, cities and states would regain the revenues they need to fulfill their obligations to their citizens.
President Obamas insistence that the wealthiest taxpayers must pay higher taxes is happening in the context of a wider awareness about the ways that the system has been stacked against ordinary citizens for the benefit of the rich. As Johnston reports, the richest 300,000 Americans in 2005 earned as much as the bottom 150 million. This did not happen by accident. The rich are among the stockholders benefiting from the tax favoritism that cities and states have practiced, shifting the tax burden away from companies and toward ordinary taxpayers. Its happening in Vermont more than most places. In time it may change.MORE IN LettersA sixth-offense DUI gets plead down to a misdemeanor. A breathalyzer is refused.

The future's open wide
When I was 18 years old I was in a high school play. To conclude my senior year a few friends and I thought it would be a change of pace to finish off four years. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was a blast, I was the camel.

I was thinking similar things looking at our rookies and minor leaguers, especially the really young ones. I had drive and determination at their age and talent for my chosen career path, but nothing like what they've got. I tip my cap to all of them for that – guys who will make the show and guys who won't alike.
This is a very simple game…

I've had a bit of a busy one this weekend. A couple of old university friends came to stay; Sarah from 'oop' North, and Timmy from Northampton. You probably already know Sarah, because I spent Christmas with her, but Timmy can sometimes be quite illusive like a badger.
Some interesting facts about Timmy are:
(1) He used to be - until recently - an engine designer for the McLaren Formula 1 racing team. Twice I accompanied him to his work's Christmas parties (very grand affairs), and both times David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen were there. The pair of them were a lot shorter than I expected, and I touched David Coulthard's trousers which was rather exciting.
Thin David Hasselhoff (herein referred to as TDH) called me a 'useless bint', and we ended up going to the Tick Tock cafe in Cowley (a suburb of Oxford) and shovelling all-day-breakfasts down our necks. I could physically see my waist size increasing with each mouthful which was quite disturbing.
"I have planned a night out for us," I said to my chums, "and you are going to like it, and it is going to redeem me from the fact that I forgot to get food in for lunch.
Timmy and Sarah looked at me in a withering fashion.
"Go on," replied Sarah suspiciously, "what hairbrained scheme have you come up with this time?"
"I have booked us tickets for the Glee Club!" I pronounced, pleased with myself.
"What the bloody hell is the Glee Club?" asked TDH, "please tell me it's not a lapdancing club." (Timmy is weird like that).
"Nope, unfortunately they were fully booked. The Glee Club is a comedy club," I said proudly.
"For you," Sarah added.
"Why thank you," I beamed.
The plan involved us getting a bus into Oxford because we all fancied having a bit of a drink. Not being a fan of buses (I rarely use them because you can't upgrade to Business Class), I wasn't quite sure how they worked.
It started off fine; we paid our £1.60 each, and sat back as the bus started its 20 minute journey to Oxford. But as we neared our destination, things went a bit pear-shaped. Apparently, if you want to get off, you need to press a button which sounds a bell, and subsequently alerts the driver. I didn't know that, and there were no signs about it.
So we ended missing our stop, with me shouting, "we needed to get off there (pointing to a rapidly vanishing bus-stop out of the back window), how do we get this thing to stop and let us off?"
"Why didn't you press the bell?" asked Sarah with exasperation (she is a bus veteran).
"I didn't know that I had to," I replied, "there's no signs telling me to press a bloomin' bell if I want to get off."
"Bloody useless," Sarah muttered.
So apart from the fact that we accidentally ended up in the wrong part of Oxford, and had to walk a mile or so to the Glee Club (Timmy wasn't happy because he'd pulled a muscle in his thigh and each step was agony, and Sarah had got arthritis in her knees - blimey, it was like taking your Grandparents out), the night went swimmingly.
I don't know if you have ever been to a comedy club before, but it normally involves three comedians plus a compere, each doing a stand-up slot, and it is a great crack. There are always 'hen' and 'stag' parties there, and this time, the hen party was relatively easy to spot because they were all dressed as nuns. Well either that, or they were real nuns who found the convent a bit boring, which is understandable.
As the night drew to a close and we left the Glee Club to get a taxi, TDH looked at me with genuine surprise on his face; "that was a really good night out," he said.
"That's why my super-hero name is night-out woman," I said.
"Who calls you that?" asked TDH.
"No one really, it's a bit self-fashioned thinking about it," I replied.
"Thought so," added Sarah.
Blimey, you just can't get the chums these days.
P.S. So what did you get up to this weekend?

You hold your breath and listen with intent ears. It's prowling out there in the darkness, sifting through the leaves and ground looking for food or maybe … you. Then there's a pause as silence falls and the rustling of leaves is hushed. Suddenly, a dry rasping hiss and metallic clicking sounds fill the night air, followed by a hoarse, blood-curdling shriek that abruptly cuts off.
The silence returns - at least for a little while.
In the dark of night, lurking in the brush, animals can produce noises that strain human imagination. The sounds may be frightening at first until you learn which animals are creating all the ruckus.
Familiar nocturnal animals (those active at night) can explain most of the noises - opossums, raccoons, armadillos, coyotes, frogs, insects and owls.
Owls in particular have haunting calls and vocalizations and they can display elusive tendencies and behavior. This has led to some great scary folklore.
Often, the only time we humans know owls are around is when we hear their eerie calls floating through the darkness or when they suddenly startle us as they float past on dark, silent wings.
Owl calls run the gamut of creepy sounds. The barred owl call is a deep baritone hoot and it sounds like someone saying "Who cooks for you, who cooks for you alllllll," with the last note drawn out.
One barred owl in the park sits patiently on a sign near the highway underpass, staring intently, waiting for cliff swallows to make the wrong move in the middle of the night. A quivering, descending wail or whinny best describes the screech owl's call.
Although its name implies screechy sounds, you won't hear it from this owl. Perhaps that name would be better applied to the barn owl, whose hoarse shriek cuts off abruptly at the end. The scariness of barn owl calls don't end there - they also produce a dry rasping hiss, accented by metallic clicking noises.
Some unexpected critters add to the night symphony. The great blue heron, which is active both day and night, creates a series of low-pitched croaks.
Darting under lights chasing insects, the common nighthawk repeats a nasally "peent." The bullfrog adds a resonant, baritone bellow, while the chorus frog's mating call sounds similar to running your fingernail down the teeth of a plastic comb.
And then there are bats - while humans can't hear most of their high-pitched cries, some of us can feel strange vibrations in our eardrums when bats are calling nearby.
Some sounds can be frightening enough to lead you to believe someone is in distress. For example, the territorial call of a grey fox is described as a hoarse scream of anguish and has been compared to the wailing cries of a human baby. Distress calls of the cottontail are high-pitched screams and often attract predators.
So, the next time you're enjoying an evening outside and you begin to hear strange sounding yips, yelps and howls or other scary noises, you'll know it's just a coyote or the hooting of a great-horned owl or maybe an armadillo rustling in the leaves. Understanding what kinds of critters produce those strange nighttime sounds will make what you hear a little less spooky.

Bernie Worrell, 'Wizard Of Woo,' Dies At 72
June 24, 2016. Posted by David Tallacksen.Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog Supreme, The Two-WayBernie Worrell performs at the Black Rock Coalition Presents: All The Woo In The World â An All-Star Celebration benefit concert on April 4 in New York City. The concert was raising money for Worrell's medical costs. (Image Credit: Al Pereira/WireImage)
Keyboardist and composer Bernie Worrell, who helped shape the sound of the band Parliament-Funkadelic and influenced countless artists across a wide range of genres, died Friday at 72.
Worrell announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer.
His musical life began early — according to his official biography, he started studying piano at age 3, wrote his first concerto at age 8 and performed with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C., at 10.
The classically trained keyboardist (he studied at Juilliard and the New England Conservatory of Music) made his name — and an indelible mark on music — in the world of P-Funk.
Worrell, aka "The Wizard of Woo," was an early member of Parliament-Funkadelic, George Clinton's sprawling, theatrical and wildly influential funk collective.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame notes that Parliament and Funkadelic "prefigured everything from rap and hip-hop to techno and alternative," with latter-day disciples including Prince and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Worrell was one of the key collaborators shaping the sounds of the collective.
He was particularly famous for his innovative embrace of the sounds of synthesizers.
In the 1980s, Worrell helped reshape the sound of the Talking Heads and became a regular member of their expanded lineup.
Even if you don't know Worrell, you've probably heard his work. As a studio musician he contributed to scores of albums, and P-Funk songs are frequently sampled on hip-hop tracks.
In 1991, when his second solo album came out, Worrell spoke to reporter Andy Lyman for Morning Edition. Worrell said his mastery of musical fundamentals was central to his genre-mashing work.
"The art of creating is not just pushing a button," he said. "We're going to lose
the art of creating — composing — because they won't even know how to make a chord. The chords are already just on a button. What is the root? What's the third? What's the fifth of the chord?
"I feel that a lot of artists and parents who are interested in music should get music back into the mainstream in school systems," he said. "That's being lost also."
You can hear that whole piece, which also explores the social awareness of Parliament/Funkadelic as well as Worrell's lasting influence on the Talking Heads, here:
In January, Worrell announced that he had been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. An online fundraiser and star-studded benefit concert helped cover his medical expenses — and gave many in the music community a chance to honor his life while he was still there to hear it.
George Clinton and Bootsy Collins of P-Funk, David Byrne and Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads, Fred Schneider of the B-52s, Buckethead, Living Colour and Questlove, among others, performed at the "All The WOO In The World" benefit concert in April. And Worrell played too, of course.
The crowd shouted "We love you, Bernie!" as he struggled for words, holding a proclamation from the mayor of Newark, N.J., in his honor. "I don't know what to --" Worrell said.
"Thank you," he finally said. "I love you, too."Copyright 2016 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

Beyond Country And Blues: The Jazz Legacy Of Houston, Texas
June 23, 2016Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog Supreme, Jazz Night In America, Jazz Night In America: The Radio ProgramThough not well known for its jazz scene, Houston, Texas has produced some of America's best jazz musicians, including Jason Moran. (Image Credit: Courtesy of the artist)
When you think of the sound of Houston, Texas, you might think of country and western music. Maybe you've heard of bluesmen like Johnny Copeland and Albert Collins or gospel stars like Yolanda Adams. Or, you know, Beyoncé?
But Houston has also produced some of the biggest jazz musicians of today, according to the host of Jazz Night in America, composer and bassist Christian McBride.
"It seems to me that over the last 15 to 20 years, there has been an onslaught of these great musicians from Houston on the jazz scene," McBride says, pointing to the rise of artists like Jason Moran, Robert Glasper and Eric Harland. "All of a sudden you're thinking, where did all these cats from Houston come from all of a sudden? Especially considering Houston is not always a usual stop on most guys' tour schedules, how are all these bad cats coming from out there?"
With a little help from Jason Moran himself, McBride joined NPR's Audie Cornish to consider some of the brightest jazz stars in Houston's history, including saxophonist Billy Harper, pianist Helen Sung and more.

Book Profits in Overvalued Market
The yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond ended last week at 3.228% the highest yield since the end of March 2012. As this yield rises, stocks become less undervalued and more overvalued.
On Jan. 25 I wrote, Market Hasn't Peaked and in this post explained what it would take to call a market top.
The first condition is overvalued fundamentals and this morning www.ValuEngine.com shows that 65.2% of all stocks are overvalued, which is what we call a "ValuEngine Valuation Warning." Sure stocks can become even more overvalued, but strength in an overvalued market is a reason to book profits.
At most market highs all 16 sectors are typically overvalued by double-digit percentages. Today all 16 are overvalued with 10 overvalued by double-digit percentages as shown in this table. Note that the trailing 12 months price-to-earnings ratios have also become elevated for 12 sectors.
The weekly charts are not yet overbought for all of the major averages but this week the Dow Industrial Average and Nasdaq will join the S&P 500 , Dow transports and Russell 2000 in overbought territory.
I am predicting a market top based upon my levels from my proprietary analytics which show upside potential to risky levels in February.
Strength in the Dow industrials should be limited to monthly and semiannual risky levels at 14,132 and 14,323.
Other monthly and semiannual risky levels are 1542.9 and 1566.9 S&P 500, and 3250 and 3583 Nasdaq.
Annual and semiannual risky levels are 5925 and 5955 Dow transports.
My monthly pivot and semiannual risk level are 911.32 and 965.51 on the Russell 2000.
The downside during the first quarter is to my quarterly pivots at 13,668 Dow industrials, 1431.1 S&P 500 and 3071 Nasdaq. Other downside targets are my annual pivot at 5469 on Dow transports, and my annual pivot at 860.25 on the Russell 2000.
Sometime during the year the downside risk is to my annual value levels at 12,696 Dow industrials, 1348.3 S&P 500, 2806 Nasdaq and 809.54 Russell 2000.
The most overvalued stocks I have been profiling are in or related to the construction sector. All of these stocks are above their 200-day simple moving averages, which is a warning of a reversion to the mean.
D R Horton (DHI) ($23.35) beat earnings estimates last week and traded to a new multi-year high at $24.29 Friday. DHI began the year with a buy rating and now has a hold rating with the stock 42.0% overvalued. My semiannual value level is $20.50 with a weekly pivot at $23.23 and monthly risky level at $24.10.
