Callin' It Quits1 of 16
In light of Eva Longoria confirming that she's splitting from her alleged-shady-text-message-sending, basketball-playing husband Tony Parker, here are our predictions of which celeb couples may land in divorce court next.
Courteney Cox & David Arquette2 of 16
While some are speculating that this couple's marriage is just fine (and merely seeking publicity), we're not so sure. They've already separated, and tabloids are running interviews with a woman claiming to be David's mistress.
Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson3 of 16
OK, so they're not married yet, but we're fairly certain that buying yourself an engagement ring (as Jessica allegedly did) doesn't lead to happily ever after.
Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds4 of 16
Ryan's "Sexist Man Alive" title, recently bestowed upon him by People magazine, may just lead to an ego boost big enough to create some rockiness in this marriage.
Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green5 of 16
This pairing could also turn rocky, as one partner far surpasses the other in the sexy category.
Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher6 of 16
Rumors have been swirling for months that this couple is heading toward Splitsville fast. While we love the idea of a younger man and an older woman, we're not so sure it works well in the long run.
Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom7 of 16
Sure, there are always exceptions to the whole you-should-actually-know-each-other-longer-than-a-month-before-getting-married rule, but we don't think this couple will be one of them.
Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott8 of 16
While they seem happy now, we're not sure if Tori and Dean can take each other's habits in the long run: Tori's got a penchant for spending thousands of dollars shopping, and Dean's affinity for motorbikes is not something his wife looks fondly upon.
Mezhgan Hussainy & Simon Cowell9 of 16
Hmm. Once a ladies man ... always a ladies man?
Katy Perry & Russell Brand10 of 16
This couple is adorable, we admit. But come on, marrying a guy who "basically used to be a professional prostitute" — that's a direct quote from Katy to Esquire UK, by the way — is probably not the best idea.
Rachel Zoe & Rodger Berman11 of 16
We just have one question about the chances of longevity for this couple's marriage: Will the "band-aid baby" be enough?
Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon12 of 16
Sure, this couple is made up of two very musically talented people. But we can't help that nagging feeling that Mariah married down, despite how much we loved that Ring Pop-esque ring Nick gave her for their anniversary.
LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian13 of 16
Once a cheater, always a cheater and, as the phrase goes, they don't tend to prosper. We give this couple a year max of married life before they get bored of each other and look for greener pastures.
Tea Leoni & David Duchovny14 of 16
We love David Duchovny. Really, we do. But we worry about that pesky sex addiction of his.
Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer15 of 16
Twelve-year age difference aside, we're suspect of those celebrity couples who not only meet at work but also fall in love because they play lovers on set.
Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Broderick16 of 16
As down as we are with SJP, we can't seem to forget those cheating allegations against Matthew and the rumors that the couple retains separate residences.

Some of us specialize in birds, others know botany well, some focus on insects, and a crazy few specialize in scat. This last one is not my specialty; all scat looks like poop to me!
I think my specialty is bird identification. I have spent many years learning the birds and their field marks. Even so I still cringe when someone asks me, "What is that little brown bird?"
My usual answer, "Er…hum. A sparrow?"
Now that might satisfy the incurious person, but most people want to know what kind of sparrow. There are more than 40 species of sparrows in North America. And they all come in various shades of brown.
Sparrows are hard to identify. Birders tackle sparrow identification last as they learn their birds. These little brown birds (LBBs as I call them), take a lot of practice. But it can be done. Look at the bird-in-question's breast and then its head. Look for patterns and plainness. By this method you can usually narrow down an LBB to a species. Good luck!
Grasses are even more difficult to identify than sparrows. Grasses are green, and unless you find them in flower or with seeds, they really all look alike to the uninitiated. At least they do to me. But I am working on learning grasses.
I can ID johnsongrass (big with yellow mid-veins and an open, reddish panicle) and inland seaoats (midsize, grows in shade, and has a side-drooping panicle with flat spikelets). Also, these two are pretty easy to figure out using pictures.
It's the vocabulary that gets me. I mean, what exactly is a panicle, a spikelet, a lemma, or a glume?
I've learned that a panicle is a branching seedhead. The individual seed with its wrappings is called the spikelet. Glumes and lemmas are those wrappings (I think).
So when I came upon a new grass in the bottomlands of our South Texas creeks, I knew it wasn't johnsongrass or inland seaoats. No panicle. Instead there was a two-pronged seedstalk (called a spike) sticking out of the top of the grass.
The spike was cylindrical, woody, and had nodes (joints) about a half inch apart. When I touched the spike, it broke apart at the nodes! I examined my handful of the sections and realized each one had a groove leading to a small hole on one side. Cutting one open I found a single seed nestled in a hollow inside the section of stalk.
This grass was Joint-tail Grass (Coelorachis cylindrica). I think it is pretty cool how its seeds were protected inside the stalk. A wind or a brush with an animal would break the little joints off. A rain could carry them to a new location.
Joint-tail Grass is found in the southern states, but it is not too common anywhere. I read that it is quite palatable to livestock. If grazing animals find it first, you'll never see it. But the joint may protect the seed while it passes through the digestive tract of the animal. It can then be deposited, along with a bit of manure to fertilize it, in a new home.
The most fascinating thing about Joint-tail Grass is that it is similar to teosinte, a wild grass from Mexico. Archaeologists think it has been in cultivation for more than 10,000 years. Teosinte is believed to be the ancestor of modern corn.
Wild-type teosinte seeds are enclosed in a hard case formed from the seed stalk. More than 4,000 years ago, Aztecs in central Mexico discovered a mutation in their fields of teosinte. The seeds were only partially covered by the hard case. The new teosinte kernels were attached to the side of the stalk and were much easier to extract for food.
They selected these and planted them instead of the hard case variety. Thus they moved the evolution of corn forward greatly. Modern geneticists have discovered that a single gene was responsible for this change. It seems that only five genes were involved in the transformation of teosinte to modern corn. It is likely that each genetic change was selected for by humans growing teosinte for food. Corn was, and is, a staple in the human diet.
No wonder the Aztecs called it teotl + cintli in the Nahuatl language. "Teotl" means God, and "cintl" means dried ears of maize. Did that translate as Corn of the Gods? Or perhaps it meant the Corn was a God.
Food and culture writer Michael Pollan suggests that corn is actually using us humans as a means to dominate the world. Over the centuries of improvement, corn has manipulated us to plant it over millions of acres, to be dependent on it for food and related products, to genetically modify it so that it makes its own insecticide. Maybe Pollan is right. Corn is rapidly becoming King Corn.
So from humble Joint-tail Grass here in South Texas, we connect to one of the most widely grown crops in the world. Interesting, no?

All terrible iPhone photography by the author
We've all been thinking the same two things since Bodega closed for renovations in early February. 1) The Short North just isn't the same without Bodega. 2) What the hell is taking so long?!
When I walked into Bodega for a private "soft launch" reopening on Sunday night, I saw immediately what the hell took so long. The much-loved beer bar's transformation is dramatic. It's not a new coat of paint. It's Bodega 2.0.
Most obviously, there is no bar where once there was. A classy polished woodtop bar now resides against the left wall upon entering. MIND. BLOWN. Taps that used to wrap around the full length of 'Dega's old bar now live in two tightly condensed rows. The tap handles are now uniform and wooden, rather than the usual mishmash of brands (so that draft list becomes a necessity).
While the craft beer craze has lead to an explosion in draft selections, Bodega continues to maintain one of the city's finest. You may find bigger — as larger-scale beer halls boast as many taps as they can fit — but you won't find many better. I counted 47 different beers on draft, and Bodega takes the curation of its list seriously. And they're upping their cocktail game, too.
Apart from the amazing shifting bar, the most striking thing about the space is how much more open it is. The old Bodega was great … if you were lucky enough to get a table. Table seating has been reduced to three larger tables along the right (where the old bar lived), one in the back and a couple in the corner near the new restroom entrance. The end result: Now you can pop into Bodega for a beer without needing to send friends ahead to stake out a claim.
Another wholesale change is the menu/food experience. An all-new, streamlined menu is available at a food-truck-style walk-up counter in the back.
Salads and sides are offered, but the stars are fried chicken and fish. I swiped a chicken leg from a friend, and it scratched the smoked-then-fried chicken taste I've been craving since Ray Ray's Wing Shack closed at Ace of Cups. (Former chef Marcus Meacham has departed for the soon-to-open Kraft House #5 in Powell, though he got the ball rolling on these menu changes.) A full copy of the menu is below.
The change is so dramatic, it's sure to be jarring for former patrons — if you don't do well with change, you can sit on the patio and pretend you're back in time.
Overall, Bodega 2.0 is a solid update. It looks like their operating system will run more smoothly than ever.

By dave Wagner: Freedom Newspapers
Portales — Clint Conque feels good about his Central Arkansas football team as it gets ready for the 2004 campaign, but says he's not much different than most football coaches.
"Every coach in America is optimistic at this point in the season," said Conque, whose Bears face Eastern New Mexico University in Saturday's 6 p.m. lidlifter for both teams at Blackwater Draw.
The reason for optimism, above all else, is that the Bears enter the season far healthier than a year ago, when they eventually stumbled to a 5-6 record.
They return 14 starters, while senior quarterback Zak Clark returns after missing all of last season with a broken knuckle on his right index finger. Clark, who threw for 3,157 yards in 2002, started 12 games at the University of Arkansas before transferring to Central Arkansas, Conque said.
ENMU coach Bud Elliott, heading into his 37th and final season as a college head coach, said he expects a hard-fought clash.
"They're kind of a West Coast (style of) offense," said Elliott, seeking his 200th win as a college coach (199-174-9). "They really have a good concept on offense.
"I expect them to be a really formidable opponent. But I think they're going to find us to be pretty formidable, too."
The teams have never met. The Conway-based Bears have had a solid tradition which was revived under Conque, a former offensive coordinator at Louisiana Tech.
Prior to last season, Central Arkansas was 17-6 over the previous two years and ranked as high as fifth in NCAA Division II in 2002.
The Bears were listed 23rd in Football Gazette's Division II Top 40 this year — but they were picked fifth in the Gulf South Conference's preseason poll.
"It's a very tough league, no question about it," Conque said. "We went to the playoffs in 2001 and 2002, and last year the expectations were off the chart. Winning five games, we didn't handle that pressure very well."
He said ENMU should be a good test for his squad, adding that the fact Elliott is shooting for his 200th win provides even more impetus for the Hounds.
"They are a very sound, physical team that plays with great effort," Conque said of the Hounds. "Playing on the road against an extremely talented football team, we know we're possibly walking into a hornet's nest.
"We're very cognizant of the fact that coach Elliott has announced his retirement, and we know he's one win short of 200. Those are intangibles."
Elliott said the Hounds' option attack will have to keep the ball away from Clark as much as possible.
"If we can't control their quarterback some, we'll be in trouble," Elliott said. "We've got some awful good people who can (pressure) off the edge, and some pretty good blitzers inside."
Game day
Central Arkansas at ENMU
6 p.m. Saturday,
Blackwater Draw
Records: Season opener for both teams.
Coaches: Central Arkansas, Clint Conque, 5th year; ENMU, Bud Elliott, 11th year.
Last meeting: The teams have never played.
Central Arkansas players to watch: Zak Clark, Sr. QB, 6-3, 206; Cory Cangelosi, 6-1, 194; Anthony Lampkin, Jr. WR, 5-7, 160; Michael Norvell, Jr. WR, 6-0, 174; LeRoy Hamilton, Fr. FS, 5-10, 180; Gary Davis, Jr. DE, 6-1, 268; Chad Taylor, Jr. DE, 6-3, 248.
Of note:No doubt UCA's most famous alum, at least in sports, is longtime NBA star Scottie Pippen. He was drafted fifth overall by the Seattle SuperSonics in 1987, then traded that day to the Chicago Bulls where he was a part of six NBA championship teams in an eight-year span. … The Bears have played and defeated Lone Star Conference members Abilene Christian and Southeastern Oklahoma during Conque's term as coach. … Cangelosi was an All-Gulf South Conference selection last season and a preseason pick this year, while Lambkin earned preseason All-American honors as an all-purpose player. … Norvell was named the GSC freshman of the year in 2001 before sitting out the following season with an injury.
Quotable: "He throws as good as any quarterback in the Lone Star. We need to keep heat on him from a lot of places." — ENMU coach Bud Elliott, talking about defending against Bears quarterback Zac Clark.

Last Saturday's show exceeded her wildest dreams.
"(The) Saturday night rocket launch event was a huge success," Yates said. "We had big turn out with head counts in the hundreds."
The daytime portion was mostly for the kids. The kids had fun and got to learn from the pros, as they showed them the process of launching rockets, even letting them get on the microphone and do their own flight announcement.
"My stepson, Aaron, had a great time," said Virginia Perales. "He was so excited to launch his own rocket."
Wastequip, one of the event's biggest sponsors, had mentors take a trainer's class the day before so that they could effectively assist the children experience the thrill of blast off.
"We are happy to partner with South Texas Aerospace Club to be part of this event and help promote education of science," said Wastequip spokesman Agustine Benavidez. "We are here not to just make a living, we are here to make a difference."
With the moon illuminating the night sky, the pros were able to put on a show, firing a wide array of rockets, including one made by Yates' husband William, which was an Estes Ventris rocket with red, white and blue LED lights.
"We watched it continue to climb in altitude to a point as if it became one of the stars that belonged to the galaxy," Yates said.
Following the event, a survey was distributed, where over 70 percent showed their interest in a rocketry class, discussing the engineering and building of rockets and more. STAC is all ready in the process of creating a rocketry class in the future, using National Association of Rocketry (NAR) or National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) curriculum for different age groups.
The success of the event also spawned ideas for future events, including an RC airplane show, a hot-air balloon show and a local pilot air show.
With drawing a massive crowd, Yates is incredibly grateful to all of STAC's sponsors, including, Wastequip, the city of Beeville, the VFW, Manuel Segovia of Meskeet Sound and Recording and Joy Burkhardt from KRBX 107.1 Classic Rock, amongst others.
"We could not have made this happen without these sponsors," Yates said.
Yates had goals of bringing families together and also introducing rocketry, especially to the youth.
Both were achieved.
"Kids had so much fun learning and flying rockets," Yates said. "It was a great joy to see all these smiling faces."

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Kirk Gibson was just a 24-year-old kid with only about 200 career at-bats under his belt entering the 1981 season, the year this Topps card was printed. But the Tigers had high hopes for the former Michigan State two-sport star as he was the No. 12 overall pick in the 1978 draft. Gibson played in 83 games in '81 and hit .328 with nine homers while knocking in 40 and stealing 17 bases to give a glimpse of future things to come.

Furlough Days Could Be Cut Back, DOD Officials Say
Defense officials tell The Associated Press that department civilians will likely face up to five fewer unpaid furlough days than originally planned.
Meanwhile, Pentagon leaders scrimp to find up to $900 million in savings in the final months of the budget year that ends Sept. 30.
The officials say no final decisions have been made, but they believe civilian workers will take six to eight unpaid days off rather than 11.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
They cautioned that the savings are for this year, and won't affect likely budget cuts in 2014.
About 650,000 department civilians -- including about 5,000 at Fort Drum -- have been taking one furlough day each week since early July.
The furloughs were expected to save roughly $2 billion.

The 200 block of West Bowie Street will be shut down at 6 p.m. for the British pub's grand reopening and an outdoor street concert will feature country music star Rick Treviño.
Texas born Treviño was signed to Columbia Records in 1993 and has since charted a total of 14 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
His debut single "Just Enough Rope" was the first mainstream country music single to feature separate English and Spanish language versions.
Treviño has made his way through Beeville a few times before but never for an intimate downtown street show, which is sure to draw quite a crowd as he takes the stage at 8 p.m.
The Dog & Bee, which closed its doors about three months back to restructure its management and make a few changes to its menu, was first opened in 2011 to huge fanfare, complete with an Austin Powers impersonator and double-decker bus.
Owner Brenda Hughes said in a past interview about the pub closing, "We're changing the entire kitchen to make it a little more efficient.
"We just couldn't seem to get on top of it, so we figured the best thing to do was close it."
And what's new?, one might ask.
Well, during the event, you can sample the new menu as well as take advantage of numerous drink specials.
Food and beer will be on the house while it lasts, so make sure to show up early.
There is a $20 cover charge for the grand reopening event which doesn't seem too bad for a full evening of entertainment, food and drink.
The Dog & Bee is back, and for some, it's a welcomed reopening for sure.

Sweet Max, fret not, my friend, fret not. I doubt there is anyone who has perfect pronunciation. And who's to say what that is, anyway? Each country, even, has regional variations, let alone the differences between countries.
And not just vowels, either-rrrr, hee-yah? In Kentucky, you can hear something like this: Lemme borry yer pin to wraht with.
Singing pronunciation does or should differ, though, I think. Bob? AnnaS.? Faldage? Have other singers been taught this? As an example, in choir I sing ow-er, not are,
for the word our. 'Are' is very commonly heard here for
'our', and sounds even worse sung than it does spoken.

Dear MaxQ,
Coming from a country where our neighbours to the South firmly believe we say "oot" and "aboot" instead of "out" and "about", I understand your pain! We don't really say those words that way, of course, and I think I've said this before, we just use a different dipthong (uh-oo) before an unvoiced consonant, whereas in the US they use the same dipthong (ah-oo) whether the consonant is voiced or unvoiced!
Anyway, I figure, as long as you pronounce things the way everyone around you did when you were learning to speak, then your accent must be "right" for where you live!
(Recently there was an international choral festival here. A choir from Australia was being interviewed on the radio, and commented on the "funny accents" here. After the segment, the announcer wondered aloud - just whose accent was funny!?)

I'll leave Faldage to comment on pure vowels for me. Whatever he says, I agree with a priori.
(and it's diphthong, not dipthong!!)

It's quite easy to remember Bean; a dipthong is a very thin bikini, a diphthong ties two dipherent vowel sounds together!

For what it's worth, Max, according to Vox Latina in classical Latin the sounds of an unaccented i and an unaccented u were practically indistinguishable.
What Jackie says is right: "Singing pronunciation does or should differ. The vowels in Italianate Church Latin are pure Italian vowels ah, eh, ee, oh and oo none of which are diphthongs.
But, wait! That's not all!
There is also German Church Latin. Most of the noticeable differences in German Church Latin have to do with consonant pronunciation but the long e seems to be undergoing a Great Vowel Movement® similar to the Great Vowel Shift that English underwent in the 16th and 17th centuries and is pronounced rather more towards the sound of the long i.
Carmina Burana is however largely *not Church Latin (despite having been collected and even in some cases written by monks) and therefore not subject, strictly speaking, to the rules of Church Latin pronunciation. If you are singing in a group situation you will be subject to the dictates of the director. If you are singing by yourself, feel free to pronounce any way you want. I, for example, in the privacy of my own shower or automobile (or even when serenading my favorite phone callee) when I indulge in a stirring rendition of The Swan Song from Carmina Burana will, if doing my own setting, pronounce cygnus as tsinknoos.

Jackie and Faldage are both correct about pronunciation in singing. And it isn't just a matter of how you pronounce Latin etc. Even when singing in English there are times when the normal spoken pronunciation of a vowel needs to be altered so that the mouth is better shaped to enunciate the musical tone. You will have noticed that singers generally have their mouths open and rounded, which is to produce a sonorous tone; but you can't pronounce the short flat vowel sounds with your mouth like that, so for euphony the vowel is made deeper or more round. On the other hand, especially in Latin but sometimes in other languages, a final 'e' sound has to be shortened to 'eh' for the sake of the musical tone. It is also necessary frequently to suppress the letter 's' so a choir doesn't sound like the reptile house at the zoo.

Aside from the dipthong *issue (which I believe is a "subjective" one), the throat and facial muscle tensions needed to create certain vowel sounds is an important reason for vocalists to avoid their use, as these tensions will easily interfere with the resonance the voice is allowed when relaxed... not to mention (again) the enunciation and euphony.
BYB ...but there is *nothing like a choreographed group of reptiles.

Philadelphia Phillies (24-31) vs. Washington Nationals (27-28)
Starting Pitchers:
PHI: David Buchanan (1-1, 3.86)
WAS: Jordan Zimmermann (3-2, 4.07)
Time: 7:05, Nationals Park
Weather: Sunny, 74
Media: Twitter and Facebook
A Note for Tonight:
Here's your note tonight. The Phillies need a win and need to start a lengthy winning streak.
Lineup: Rollins SS / Utley 2B / Byrd RF / Howard 1B / Ruiz C / Brown LF / Brignac 3B / Revere CF / Buchanan P
57 Comments
Interesting lineup tonight. I get why you move Ben down, but Utley up to 2? I guess it makes sense, but I liked Ruiz in the 2 spot when they played without Ben before.
Buchanan was clearly out.
Werth gets the home call he went atound. Then hits a GR double.
Buchanan is clearly no Cliff Lee.
Kinda noticed that, too. Looks more like Walter Johnson. They seem to throw with the same arm.
And Johnson pitched in the same city Buchannan is throwing in tonight.
I see Jimmy has dropped below .250. Jimmy really hs been one of the relative bright spots this year, and it wouldn't really be like funny in a hilarious sense, but it would kinda typify the patheticness of most of this season if his average plummets to a certain point when he gets Schmidt's total. It would just be so Phillie to have a guy at .232 as the club's all time hit leader.
Just to get our terms straight, "Phillie" here means one of the more successful teams in recent memory, correct? (half kidding)
Actually, that may not be so unusual. For example, Schmidt hit .203 the year that he passed Ashburn.
…and Ashburn hit a very low (for him) .266 the year that he passed Delahanty.
In any case, as long as his OBP is in the mid-.300s, it's not as important what his batting average is.
And .266 the year after he hit .350.
Whitey was probably contemplating retirement after that off-year.
If a player hits .266 today he wants to renegotiate his contract.
Worse yet, Jimmy finishes at .232 and still has the 4th highest BA on the team.
My lingering fantasy after last night's game was to bring up the entire Reading Phightins team to play against the Nationals tonight while demoting the entire Phillies team and force them to play the Harrisburg Senators.
What's the over/under tonight for hits by the P's? What ever it is i'll take the under!
Being here in Virginia I have no choice if I want to see this game but listen to their announcers. The worst ever!!
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Bob Carpenter is an arrogant a"hol.
Hey a lead off hitter that can lay down a bunt! Where can we get one of those?
Seems like Ben Revere's bunting skill was an issue going back to his early days in Minnesota. Apparently, he even spent one spring training working with Rod Carew.
Actually, the only time I see a bunt go fair these days is when one of them is trying to hit away. Then they're so surprised they made any contact they end up getting tagged out while still standing in the batter's box.
Actually, the Phils are dangerously close to being no hit tonight. Here T6, their 2 hits so far are both on 0-2 pitches. Actually getting a hit on that count off a guy pitching well is really an accomplishment.
So, they really haven't responded to Sandberg's "Sense of Urgency" team meeting.
I don't know that I'd have run a successful meeting, but I don't know that a sense of urgency would be an effective theme. I would imagine that concept was a good hear for some younger guys, but the average vet on the Phils is SS eligible, and they know this is not a talented team, so it might have been 1 ear, out another. Maybe a relax, have fun schpiel would have helped?
The bottom line is talent levels usually win out, and the pitching they face near term probably just adds to the angst.
Tough to predict the eventual new GM's thinking, but in a general sense, H of F guy or not, I won't be surprised if his desire to have his own manager plays out over a not nexessarily anything to write home about Sandberg. Kinda wonder about all the talk of how much he stresses funnymentals considering how unfunnymentally the Phils play. And all too often.
Probably win the game 9-7 now and I'll change my tune.
tag: fat chance
I don't think I will ever understand the idea that if a team suddenly gets a "sense of urgency", they will automatically get better results.
As if 1) they didn't have it already, and 2) if they just _tried_ harder they would do better.
Maybe they're just not that good. Maybe they're in a slump, and being told to adopt a sense of urgency does not help one iota in getting out of the slump. Maybe the other team wants to win too.
I definitely agree with "they're just not that good". As I said back in March, they're one of the five worst teams in baseball.
Schmenk: You're trying to apply logic to an illogical situation. I agree, it makes no sense that they'd have to acquire a sense of urgency but they really don't have it. They can't even perform basic plays that they should be able to perform by rote by the time they're starting players on their high school team..
I think most students of the game can sense the difference between being short on talent and being short on talent, attention and concern. I know you see it, too even if it doesn't seem to make sense, especially when it effects an entire team. But it's a condition that can turn into a virulent organization-wide disease and I don't think these guys have a clue how to break out of it.
Ashburn would have bunted his way out of a slump. These guys don't know how to bunt.
I don't see the passion. I don't see them breaking bats over the water cooler. I don't see them running to first at full speed if only out of pure anger and frustration. And I'm sorry but it translates to either not thinking or not caring. If I were Sandberg I would demand they run out walks and fine any player who didn't follow his orders. Everyone is expressionless and functioning in foxtrot time while the competition is playing high-energy rock and moving at the same speed.
I've watched a lot of bad Phillies' team over the last 66 years. Some of those late 50s and early 60s teams were beyond dismal but they led the league in bench-clearing rhubarbs. In other words, they never got used to losing – or being made to look even worse by the opposition. This team is in a trance. They're far from the least talented Phillies team I've ever watched but I can't think of one less fun to watch.
I can probably count the words that I agree with on the fingers of one hand, but I think you probably knew that already.
I thought I had you agreeing with me up to at least 7 fingers.
– While they play a kids' game, I don't want them acting like children having temper tantrums and possibly hurting themselves. That would be reprehensible IMO and grounds for demotion until they can act like a grownup.
– The problem isn't that they're not trying enough, or don't have a sense of urgency, it's that they're pressing and not enjoying the game.
– They're a mediocre team at best that's going through a rough period. That combination can look ug-lee, like it does now.
They'll get through this — they won't be good enough to compete for anything, or probably even break .500, but they will look better than this, and the change won't have a thing to do with some lame "sense of urgency" speech.
First of all, I agree with you about the "sense of urgency" nonsense. Hopefully, Sandberg came up with that line for the press and wasn't trying to sell that garbage to his players.
Second, I think you missed my point about Rhubarbs and destroying the dugout and clubhouse. I'm talking about developing an attitude that directs the frustration away from the players and onto common enemies. I'm not suggesting they necessarily have to bash water coolers or that the manager has to get into fistfights with his own players, a la Billy Martin, but they sure could use an Earl Weaver type of wake-up call. They need to get mad, direct their anger and take it out on the ball instead of the bat.
And I don't put it all on the players. Perhaps Sandberg is truly lost for ideas. First of all, he didn't assemble this team, and for the first time, he's managing players who by definition shouldn't need a baby sitter or someone to yell at them like children who refuse to listen. I also realize that money has changed the game. When you pay your worst players 6 million a year to underperform, make bonehead plays or throw 80 mph fastballs you can't just send them back to tending bar – or tell them to un-defect back to Cuba. You're expected to play a JMJ or keep Ryan in the daily lineup and not dare move him out of the cleanup position until it becomes too painful not to attempt some changes.
Since no one set the over/under I'll do so for us. The over/under will be 4. As I said I'll take the under.
We may well have a number of years like this. Uggghh.
If Dom hits a grounder watch him trot to first.
I wouldn't call it loafing, but certainly not Charlie Hustle either.
Yep. He hit a grounder and trotted to first.
I guess the Sandberg told everyone in that big meeting to take it easy running out ground balls. You don't want anybody pulling a muscle hustling to a base just because you have no runs on the board.
I think this team is boring the Washington players and fans to death.
The competition can't even enjoy their own victories. They come too easily.
Look forward to zoning in o the ever popular CSN website tomorrow and checking out Corey Seidman's new column.
Formerly known as 5 things you need to know, I have no doubt the smart editors will be changing the title to 5 Things Yu Need to Forget.
As another victory is scored for truth in journalism.
tag: pretty darned good idea
Bases loaded for Byrd.
Strikeout or fly-out to right?
Apparently, human resource departments do not recognize "baseball-related depression" as a legitimate medical condition. At least the Phillies recognize Revere is not a leadoff hitter and moved him to number 8 in the lineup.
The Phillies have problems but the lack of starting pitching is really killing this team right now. In the last six games, the Phillies have gotten one game resembling a quality start and that game was Hamels start on Sunday. If the starting pitcher gives up 4 runs in six innings, there is a good chance the team loses. If the starting pitcher gives up 7 runs, forget it.
Fire Amaro!
Another day another disgrace
They may not fill up the Runs column, but they continue to fill up the Errors column.
Ricky Bo looks PISSED!
Ricky is going to have a stroke on live TV if they keep playing like this. If only the team cared as much!
I couldn't disagree more. I think the team cares a whole lot more than a part time TV guy.
I think Mike was referring to the baseball reliever and very tough competitor by the same name as that part-time TV guy. That Ricky B. would be appalled – maybe more so than the current members of the team.
Do they schmenk? Do they care? I'm beginning to wonder…
We all know that Schmek lives in a different reality than most of the rest of us.
That may well be (for better or worse), but the idea that they "don't care" is just preposterous.
I agree that "not caring" is preposterous. I can't think of a single person who WANTS to look like an ass.
The Phils are playing bad fundamental baseball not because they don't care, but because they haven't been taught how to play good fundamental baseball. No one is born with the knowlege of what base to throw to; it has to be learned. There are different baserunning situations that have to be learned. Certain pitches need to be thrown to certain batters, and no pitcher knows which until he's taught. Looking at the boneheaded play in recent games, one might easily conclude that the Phils' farm system has no teachers anymore.
It's time to shift a little blame from players' supposed attitudes to where that blame might really belong: the development people.
George – I agree especially after hearing Bowa yesterday –
"A lot of this has to do with instinct," Bowa said. "If you don't have good baseball instincts, you can't teach instincts. If you don't have it by the time you get to the big leagues, you're not going to get it. I don't care how much you practice. And there are some people right now showing they don't have the baseball instincts that maybe we thought they had."
It sounds like he expects that the players should already know everything, and not need to be taught/coached. Sure instinct is important, but you still need instruction, and "continuing education". Doctors, lawyers, teachers, police, managers, firemen, nurses, — everyone needs continuing education including MLB players.
I don't know, maybe I'm reading Bowa's words wrong, but it still irritated me yesterday.
Bingo, George.
Exactly what I've been saying for awhile (including elsewhere in this thread).
The inability: to bunt, to know what base to throw to, to take proper routes, to know where they are in relationship to the fence, to snap the ball back into play (rather than lob it), to watch for pick-off moves, to throw strikes (and avoid the free passes that lead to disastrous innings), to know how much of a lead to take (too long or too short), to lay off pitches, to run out a "routine" grounder (and at full speed), to keep a ball in play for a sacrifice, to erase personal bad habits, etc etc.
All of these issues begin with good coaching and end with smart managerial decisions. This team appears to be devoid of off-field talent, from its scouting crew to its bean counters.
Schmenkman is certainly correct when he suggests that they may not be a very talented collection of players. I agree, but it's far worse than that. They're also poorly coached and incapable of overcoming fixable flaws in their individual games. The fact that these players don't do the basics by rote at this point in their careers clearly tells us that those elements of the game have never been drilled into their heads anywhere in the system. Yes, perhaps the Twins' system was no more a help to Revere than the preparation Dom Brown received in the Phillies organization. That shouldn't make us feel better. Rather, it underlines the fact that the Phillies talent evaluators can't see obvious flaws in other teams' players, either. Nor can they recognize obvious talent, as the emergence Mr. Singleton and other ex-Phillies' prospects are dramatically proving.
Even a team with a dearth of talent can be fun to watch. Some have even won pennants.
This entire organization is sucking the life out of a great game.
There should be a July fire sale for scouts, coaches, managers, GMs and owners.
Lefty: Bowa may have been right about not being able to teach instincts but his statement contains two glaring flaws.
1.) Good instruction and influence helps the best of players (or anyone who naturally excels in any field). We've seen under-talented team over-perform. including the 1993 Phillies (or the 2014 Oakland As).
2.) Even if you can't teach it and a player doesn't have the instincts, how the hell did he rise through professional baseball and end up on a major league team?
Is that the player's fault or the sign of an inept organization?
I completely get that instinct and athleticism play a big role in the competence of a ball player. I just don't think it's right to put it all on that, as if teachable moments don't help people- ballplayers, and every other profession. So maybe it is harder to teach those that don't possess the natural skills Larry Bowa had, but to say it's impossible irritates the crap out of me. Why, are the coaches that lazy? If it doesn't come natural to a player -why bother trying to teach them????
WB gives great examples of teams that over achieve- it happens in all sports-
Larry Bowa is not and never has been a good coach, No IMO, no IMHO about it, he's just not. Put him back on MLB network, he was pretty good there.
It's hard to think they don't care when I recall the greeting Howard got after that come back walk off dinger that seems like it happened a month ago. That was pure joy. I think they are lost, maybe, but not indifferent.
And, as a team, very mediocre.
I'd like to see a sign that they care, like some players speaking out. I'm not suggesting they throw team mates or coaches under the bus, but I'd like to see a player during an interview express some anger or disgust with the way the team is playing, and not just some robotic platitudes.
Any speaking out, by it's very nature, I believe, leads inevitably to throwing somebody under the bus. I don't know if it's "robotic platitudes" or just a desire not to publically blame whoever flubs up on a particular day, which could cause a clubhouse row or a media stink. As a teammate, you can't just yell "This team stinks" and hope no one takes offense. As a teammate, you can't put yourself above the others by expressing anger publically; you have to remember that you're probably part of the problem, too.
I've heard players say, "I should have made that play," or "I elevated that pitch." I think that's better than shouting and complaining about the rest of the team and THEIR poor play.
Sort of like this?
"I definitely didn't come here for this.It's going to take, in my opinion, a lot," he said. "And in my opinion, I think it's going to have to be something very similar to what the Red Sox went through a couple years ago. From top to bottom."
"No, I would like to stay here. But if I'm going to have to put up with this year after year, then no, I don't want to be here. Why would you? Why would anybody?"

yeah, because that worked so well. 🙂

'No Sex Please, We're British': Catherine Doherty builds a farce — meticulouslyBy Jim Lowe
"No Sex Please, We're British" is a popular British farce, but its success is nearly as dependent upon the quality of the performance as it is upon the material itself. Catherine Doherty, who is directing the Northern Stage production, April 3-21 at Briggs Opera House in White River Junction, says she has both.
"The script is terrific — and this cast is great," he said. "It's hilarious. And not only is it hilarious — it's innocent."
But creating successful farce, Doherty insists, is meticulous work.
"Good comedy and farce are like plastic surgery," she said. "It takes a lot of meticulous, time-consuming work. You sew it back up for the first time, there's some bruising and some yellowing, but once that all settles down, nobody should see the work that went into it."
"No Sex Please, We're British," by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriott, was first staged in London's West End in 1971, going on to New York's Broadway in 1973. In London, it was unanimously panned by critics, but audiences thought differently — it played to full houses until 1987.
The plot involves a bank manager, Peter Hunter, who lives above the bank with his new wife Frances. When she innocently orders some Scandinavian glassware, what comes back is Scandinavian pornography. The two, along with the bank's cashier, Brian Runnicles, must contend with the veritable flood of pornography, books, films and, eventually, girls.
"In this day of Internet porn, this is so innocent," Doherty said. "And, still, the world is falling apart for them — just from some postcards, a blue film and a couple of women.
"It's well constructed," she said. "The two playwrights just offer such strong guideposts. And the structure is so good, because the stakes keep getting higher and higher for innocent reasons – not necessarily for devious reasons."
For Doherty, Northern Stage's producing director with a long history of successful comedy, this is good material.
"I think it works because it exploits, in a very good way, those necessary elements of farce — like near misses, mistaken identity, a collapsed amount of time — it takes place in only 48 hours in one location," she said. "While they don't have a deadline, like many farces have, they have to solve the problem quickly. And because all of those elements work in this particular script, it's very, very tight."
And therein lies the challenge, avoiding what Doherty calls "farce fatigue."
"You have to find strategies for these characters when things are falling apart. You don't want to get into melodrama and whining about the problems," she said. "I have to make sure that the company stays on target and driving through the material, rather than the material dragging them along. They have to propel the story rather than the story dragging them."
The characters, Doherty said, should not have time to come up with a logical way to solve the problem.
"They have to think right off the top of their heads," Doherty said. "One of the things we had to talk about early on was that they have to lie their way through things — and to what degree are they good liars? The audience knows that they are lying, but the characters they are speaking to don't know that they are lying. That's a tricky balance to strike."
Unlike drama, and even most comedy, actors must be physically able to deliver the complexities of the script.
"There has to be a good athleticism in terms of getting the timing of door-slamming, those near misses and those double takes," Doherty said.
And, if that weren't enough, the characters have to be believable in order for audiences to be able to relate to them.
"It can't be funny for funny sake — and that's not to say I don't mine the work for comic bits — but it has to be funny because it's recognizably funny in all of us," Doherty said.
Some actors have a tendency to take their characters "over the top."
"The challenge is to rein them in and make sure, if you're going to go over the top, you have to earn it," Doherty said. "You have to earn that particular crazy face, you have to earn that particular freak out. It can't just come out of nowhere."
Of course, the biggest challenge in comedy — and particularly in farce — is split-second timing.
"We can spend a half an hour on a sequence of two or three door slams and five or six lines," Doherty said. "'Is it funnier to slam the door before the line?' 'Can you get to the door and have it open by the time you get to your tag line?'
"In drama you're not so preoccupied that the rhythm and the percussion of those door slams are working within the text. You have to have that in comedy," Doherty said. "In drama, you have that same kind of timing that you have to do, but you're charting an emotional course, not a physical course."
In short, comedy requires discipline.
"It's appropriate that March Madness is happening because I am the coach that says, 'Oh, no, no, no, we stick to the game plan'," Doherty said.
Is it all worth it?
"There's nothing better," Doherty said. "What other profession do you get to ask the question, at least one or two times an hour, 'What's funnier, if we do this, or is this funnier?' That's just such a delight."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

The U.S. is falling behindOctober 24,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
Researchers have been warning for more than a decade that the United States was losing ground to its economic competitors abroad and would eventually fall behind them unless it provided more of its citizens with the high-level math, science and literacy skills necessary for the new economy.
Naysayers dismissed this as alarmist. But recent data showing American students and adults lagging behind their peers abroad in terms of important skills suggest that the long-predicted peril has arrived.
A particularly alarming report on working-age adults was published last week by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a coalition of mainly developed nations. The research focused on people ages 16 to 65 in 24 countries. It dealt with three crucial areas: literacy the ability to understand and respond to written material; numeracy the ability to use numerical and mathematical concept; and problem solving the ability to interpret and analyze information using computers.
Americans were comparatively weak-to-poor in all three areas. In literacy, for example, about 12 percent of American adults scored at the highest levels, a smaller proportion than in Finland and Japan (about 22 percent). In addition, one in six Americans scored near the bottom in literacy, compared with one in 20 adults who scored at that level in Japan.
American numeracy skills were termed very poor. The United States outperformed only two comparison countries: Italy and Spain. Nearly one in three Americans scored near the bottom in numeracy. That Americans were slightly below average in problem solving using computers was especially discouraging.
Some countries are making progress from generation to generation. But in the United States, as in Britain, the literacy and numeracy skills of young people coming into the labor market are no better than those who are about to retire. Americans who are 55 to 65 perform about average in literacy skills, but young Americans rank the lowest among their peers in the 24 countries surveyed.
The problem is not so much that the United States has gotten worse, but that it stood still on indicators like high school graduation rates while its foreign competitors rushed forward. Beginning in the 1970s, other developed nations recognized that the new economy would produce few jobs for workers with mediocre skills.
Those countries, most notably Finland, broadened access to education, improved teacher training and took other steps as well. Other countries take these international comparisons very seriously; some use the OECD data to set policy goals and to gauge the pace of educational progress. The United States, by contrast, has yet to take on a sense of urgency about this issue. If that does not happen soon, the country will pay a long-term price.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

The Cuties And Hotties Of Baseball – NL West
This is it! The last cutie post and by far the most anticipated!!! The NL West is filled with heartthrobs. Being a Yankee fan, I don't really get to see too many of these guys play. But thanks to my fellow NL West bloggers, I get a glimpse of them every once in awhile. Let's begin with the Dodgers.
NL West
Los Angeles Dodgers
-Andre Ethier
OMG I love this man. Hottie!!! And he is very sweet. He signed a shirt for me. Andre is one of my favorite baseball players. He is my favorite non-Yankee. LOVE YA, ANDRE!!!
-Clayton Kershaw
This little cutie is only 21, and he is already pitching greatly.
-Matt Kemp
Matty is putting up great numbers this year. He is very cute.
-Russell Martin
Who doesn't love Russell? This cutie is a great catcher.
-Chad Billingsley
This guy is just adorable. What a cutie!!!
Colorado Rockies
-Troy Tulowitski
Troy is the cutest thing!!!
-Jeff Francis
Jeff is one of the cutest pitchers. I feel bad that he is hurt.
-Ubaldo Jiminez
He looks so sad in this picture! But trust me, he is quite a cutie!
San Francisco Giants
-Tim Lincecum
The Freak! This guy is adorable. He is so little, but so good. I love him!
-Freddy Sanchez
Freddy is a cutie!!! I think he is amazing.
-Barry Zito
Barry has always been a cutie. I'm glad he is having a nice season.
San Diego Padres
-David Eckstein
David is a cutie. He is on my cutie baseball team. Hyunyoung loves him, too!
-Kevin Kouzmanoff
This one is for Kaybee, and I have to say, I'm starting to love this guy!
-Wade LeBlanc
I think he is a real cutie. Kaybee, Hyunyoung, what do you think?
Arizona Diamondbacks
-Doug Davis
Doug is pretty hot, despite the facial hair.
-Stephen Drew
Stephen is pretty cute.
That wraps up the cuties and hotties. Let's see….who is my favorite on this list….hmm…
Duh! Andre is my fav!!!
8 Comments
Oh, man. Cat will love this post! Very sweet that she made the signed shirt happen. I hope the Yankees play the Dodgers in the world series!
Woohoo! Let's hear it for Andre Ethier and all the Ethierholics!!
Great list on the Dodgers although I would like to see Loney in there too but I know you had to cut it somewhere.
Thanks Virgiinia!
You clearly have not seen these players in person. Or you dont have an hd tv because half of these guys are not good looking. I respect them as baseball players but thinking that kershaw, martin, billingsley, francis, kouzmanoff, leblanc, and davis are all cute or hot is laughable. Raise your standards!
Goodness reddiamond, Kouzmanoff is HOT!! They are all hot and cute and who's looking at outward appearances anyway right? Remember, man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart! With that said, these guys are all VERY cute and VERY hot!! I have to admit that the dodgers players are slightly good looking, but I'm sure they're pretty ugly on the inside when they're thinking about beating my Padres! haha. LeBlanc's OK, but I think there are better. Great, great post, and if anyone wants to stare at my HOT Kouz some more, there are plenty of pictures on my blog!!
That is amongst the funniest posts I've ever read, and it's really neat too. Andre Ethier is great too. I'm a bit surprised you left James Loney (Dodgers), Brandon Webb (Diamondbacks) and Heath Bell (Padres) out. I think Todd Helton should be there too. Great list by the way!
Matthew Tang
Excuse me Diamond but I have seen all those Dodgers in person less than one foot away. Actually Matt Kemp has hugged me a few times. Andre is so cute, it gives a female goosebumps. Clayton is very cute close up, innocent looking but with a mean fastball. I don't think he even shaves. Matt has fantastic gorgeous hazel eyes that change color. He is tall and has a hard muscled body. He is also playfull. Bills has a very handsome face and the body of a bull. James Loney has the build of a baseball player, lean and with long arms and legs. His smile would break any woman's heart. It's shy and sweet. I have talked to all of these guys and think they deserve to be on Virginia's list. Thanks Virginia for putting my guys on your list. I especially like your favorite. Andre is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I have ever met. He is always nice to his fans. He knows you now. I told him all about you and knows your name.
Diamond never mentioned Kemp and Ethier not being cute.
I posted a picture of Ethier in my blog in honor of your list.
I might not agree with some (like Giants) but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Dodgers win against the Giants! Life is good!
YAY ECK!!! David Eckstein=hot. End of story.
Drew Macias for the Padres is freaking cute by the way. I saw him up close🙂 Dan Haren is pretty hot too. Great post!http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com

Mike Moreno - Studio Session
February 6, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: awe, culture music, drums, fabulous guitarist, Jazz Alive, john ellis, kendrick, Live Music, lyricism, music release, musician, saxophonist john, Studio Sessions, synergy, tunes, world culture
If you checked out the list of my Top 10 favorite albums of 2007, you remember that Mike Moreno was among them. For those of you who are not familiar, here's your chance to check out this fabulous guitarist. The synergy and fire that this band brings is reminiscent and fresh at the same time, as is Moreno's brilliant playing. Saxophonist John Ellis' tone is one of the sweetest I've ever heard, and Moreno's tunes are classics in the making. Don't be surprised if you see them popping up in various musician's repertoires in the near future. Kendrick Scott's lyricism and dynamics on the drums are awe-inspiring, as usual.
Hear the studio session with WBGO's Josh Jackson. And if you dig it as much as I do, be sure to grab his World Culture Music release, Between the Lines. Let me know what you think!

2007 is ending, and though this year was pretty dry in my humble opinion, it was a GREAT year for music. Here are my favorite albums of 2007. I hope you'll check some of them out. And maybe some of these are your favorites, too!
Terence Blanchard - A Tale of God's Will: A Requiem for Katrina (Blue Note)
Jose Gonzalez - In Our Nature (Peacefrog)

Cyrus IMAP is an efficient IMAP server capable of handling a large number of accounts. Its biggest drawback is getting it installed and configured. This tutorial is a step-by-step guide on how to use Cyrus with the Postfix mail transfer agent (MTA). I tested these instructions with FreeBSD 5.4.
Postfix is a replacement for sendmail, the stock MTA that comes in FreeBSD. It is easier to configure and manage than sendmail. If you depend on sendmail, you can still look at the article for the Cyrus part, but you'll need to look elsewhere for the MTA configuration.
Unless otherwise instructed, perform all operations in this tutorial as root. You will need to use the port system. If you are new to it, check Chapter 4 of the FreeBSD Handbook.
Installing Cyrus and Postfix on FreeBSD requires three ports:
The SASL2 component acts as the authentication method. Any program that will connect to read email will go through SASL2 to authenticate. All users who have mailboxes need an account in the SASL2 database. In addition, any IDs you plan to use to manage Cyrus need IDs in SASL, but they don't need an ID in the Cyrus IMAP server.
Cyrus will manage the mailboxes. Users need to have an ID in Cyrus in order to receive mail.
Postfix will deliver the emails to Cyrus. Postfix needs to know about each user through a virtual alias map file. This file determines which emails to deliver to which internal mailbox. It is possible to point multiple email addresses to the same mailbox.
The ports I used for this article were Postfix 2.23, Cyrus 2.2.12, and SASL 2.1.21
All three ports rely on Berkeley DB as a database. For this article, I chose the most recent version, 4.3; however, if you already have a Berkeley DB port installed, you can configure the ports to use that instead.
Install this port:
# cd /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl2
# make WITHOUT_OTP=YES WITHOUT_NTLM=YES WITHOUT_GSSAPI=YES WITH_BDB_VER=43
# make install clean
OTP, NTLM, and GSSAPI are different authentication mechanisms and aren't relevant to this article. If you know about those other authentication mechanisms or plan to use them, you can omit the part that excludes them. However, leaving them while the rest of that authentication mechanism is not operational may cause your setup to not work or to produce additional warnings in your log files.
WITH_BDB_VER=43 specifies to use Berkeley database 4.3.
To test the SASL2 installation, do this:
# rehash
# saslpasswd2 -c admin
# sasldblistusers2
admin@domain1: userPassword
saslpasswd2 with the
-c parameter instructs SASL2 to create the user.
sasldblistusers2 shows the list of users. If the creation of the user
admin was successful, the output should match the display above.
After you run
make, a menu appears. Click on OK. This port needs no options besides Berkeley DB 4.3.
# cd /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd22
# make USE_BDB_VER=43
# mail install clean
As with the SASL2 port, choose Berkeley DB 4.3 by using
Cyrus needs a directory to hold the IMAP files:
# mkdir /var/imap
# mkdir /var/imap/spool
# chown -R cyrus:mail /var/imap
# chmod -R 750 /var/imap
The default directories for Cyrus are /var/imap and /var/spool, but I prefer /var/imap and /var/imap/spool to facilitate backups. You can point these directories somewhere else, as long as all configuration files point to the same place.
To start Cyrus at boot time, change /etc/rc.conf by adding:
Postfix and Cyrus will communicate with a socket. The /usr/local/etc/cyrus.conf contains the name and location of the socket. Comment the line with
lmtp and add:
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0

Linux Server Security
The primary configuration file for Cyrus is /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf. Replace your imapd.conf with the following. (The bracketed numbers refer to footnotes; remove those.)
configdirectory: /var/imap[1]
partition-default: /var/imap/spool sievedir: /var/imap/sieve admins: user1@domain1 user2@domain2 admin[2]
allowanonymouslogin: no autocreatequota: 10240 reject8bit: no quotawarn: 90 timeout: 30 poptimeout: 10 dracinterval: 0 drachost: localhost sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop lmtp_overquota_perm_failure: no unixhierarchysep: no virtdomains: userid defaultdomain: domain1[3]
loginrealms: domain1,domain2[4]
[1] To use a different location for your email storage, change the
partition-default, and
sievedir to point to your preferred location. The
partition-default doesn't have to be inside the same directory as the
configdirectory, but it makes it easier to back up if it is.
[2] If you want an ID to manage all domains, create it without a domain. IDs created with domains can manage only their own domain.
[3] This is the domain the system will add if you create a user without adding a domain.
[4] List all the domains for which you plan to host email. For an explanation of the options in imapd.conf, see /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf.original and
man imapd.conf.
Now you must create several directories and files to prepare Cyrus for operation. Become user
cyrus and run
# su cyrus
As root, start Cyrus:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/imapd.sh start
To test whether Cyrus is running, use this:
#telnet localhost 143
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK computer.domain.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12 server ready
To exit, type
a1 logout
For each mailbox you will host, you must create an ID in SASL2 and in Cyrus. For example, here's how to create the user
test. Replace
domain1 with a valid domain you plan to host. First, create the user in SASL2:
#saslpasswd2 -c test@domain1
Again (for verification):
# sasldblistusers2
firstname.lastname@example.com: userPassword
Then create it in Cyrus. You will need the password you used for user admin. If you don't recall the password, reset it using
saslpasswd2 admin:
#cyradm --user admin localhost
cm user.test@domain1
test@domain1 (\HasNoChildren)
A menu will appear when you
make this port. Select the options Cyrus SASL v2 and Berkeley DB4.3. The script will ask whether you want to add the
postfix user to the
# cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix
# make install clean
# rehash
Enable Postfix at startup by adding the following to your /etc/rc/conf:
Also create a symbolic link in the startup folder so that Postfix will start when the system boots:
# cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
# ln -s /usr/local/sbin/postfix postfix.sh
Then disable some Sendmail-specific daily maintenance routines in your /etc/periodic.conf file:
With Postfix configured, create a needed file called alias.db, and then start it.
# newaliases
# ls -l /etc/aliases.db
# postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual
# postfix start
Although the setup described in this article does not use this file, Postfix looks for it anyway. You may need this file depending on your future needs.
To test whether Postfix is running:
telnet localhost 25
You should see a prompt
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to < your host name >
Escape character is '^]'.
There is one final file to edit, /usr/local/etc/postfix main.cf. Change the entire main.cf as follows. (Again, bracketed numbers refer to footnotes, so remove them.)
command_directory = /usr/local/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/local/libexec/postfix mailq_path = /usr/local/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/local/man newaliases_path = /usr/local/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix sample_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail mail_owner = postfix soft_bounce = no myhostname = domain1[1]
myorigin = $mydomain relay_domains = $mydestination local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps recipient_delimiter = + debug_peer_level = 2 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 setgid_group = maildrop html_directory = no readme_directory = no masquerade_domains = $mydomain smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_recipient permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination reject_unknown_sender_domain permit smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_hostname smtpd_require_helo = yes mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp virtual_mailbox_domains = domain1, domain2[2]
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual
[1] The primary domain for email purposes.
[2] A list of all domains you plan to manage, including your primary domain.
For details on the options listed above, see /usr/local/etc/postfix/dist/main.cf.
Now restart Postfix to make it read the new configuration files:
# postfix reload
In addition to having users listed in SASL and Cyrus, Postfix needs to know about them. Add each user to /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual in the format:
user@domain user@domain
You may also want to have a single address to receive all mail not designated to a valid address. Add the line:
@domain1 valid_user@domain1
Be aware that doing this will cause all the spam to that domain to go to that user. On the bright side, doing this will make your setup more compliant with the Internet standards that require the existence of addresses such as
Finally, run
postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual. Remember to run
postmap every time you change that file.
If you already have an IMAP client, you can connect to your newly configured Cyrus server using the test user. Remember to append the domain name when you log in.
If you don't have an IMAP client, you can use a text-based mail client, called Cone, in the ports system for your test. You can install Cone in the same server in which you have installed Cyrus, or on a different machine as long as it can connect to the Cyrus IMAP server.
# cd /usr/ports/mail/cone
# make install clean
For the rest of the test, you do not need to be the root superuser.
cone at the command prompt.
Once you are able to connect to the IMAP server with your own client or with Cone, try sending an email. If the machine is the one responsible for handling email for the given domain (that is, if your DNS MX records point to it), you can send an email to your test user from any machine.
If the IMAP server doesn't yet have MX records pointing to it, you can still test your setup by setting the machine you configured as your Cyrus server as the SMTP server. If you're using Cone from the same machine, you don't need to do anything extra. Just write an email and send it to your test user. By default, Cone will use the current machine as the delivery SMTP server.

Wisconsin's Division of Emergency Management wants to make sure that people stay safe in this bitter cold.
The agency has put out a few tips to follow over the next few days.
Since frostbite can occur after being outside less than 30 minutes, if you notice a loss of feeling and a white, pale appearance on your fingers, nose, or toes, get medical help.
Make sure you have a car survival kit, with water, food, a flashlight, and battery charger.
And don't forget about your pets: Check out their paws in case they step in salt. And don't keep them outside for long.
As the temperatures plunge, homeowners need to remember to follow a few simple steps.
Especially if they don't want to have a flooded mess come next spring.
Specifically, now is the time to make sure faucets that may be near an outside wall don't freeze over this week.
Homeowners would rather see professionals like Curt Johnson of Action Plumbing, Heating, A/C, and Electric now than in the spring.
"The water in here turned to ice and expanded, and cracked the pipe," said Johnson, recalling a recent homeowners' nightmare. "So then in the spring, when this goes to get turned on, the water just floods the basement."
Johnson said it's the most common problem he is called on to fix.
"Every spring we probably change over a hundred of them," said Johnson.
But homeowners don't have to take a visit from someone like Johnson for granted: It's a problem that can be prevented relatively easily.
Most have probably put their garden hoses away for the winter.
But bitterly cold wind can still get in and split the pipe.
Johnson said you need to shut off the value in your basement too.
"That silcock goes outside, that valve should be shut off right there," said Johnson.
Moving from water to air, with the cold that's coming to southern Wisconsin over the next couple of days, your first move might be to turn the thermostat up.
But if there's no heat coming out of your vents, the problem might be your furnace.
"We're really looking for the filter to see if it's dirty or not," said Johnson about normal furnace maintenance.
If you've got furnace filters, replace them monthly.
Something else homeowners can do: make sure that the pipe bringing fresh air from outside so your furnace can run is clear.
"If we get a lot of snow and the wind blows and the drift comes up against the house and plugs these off, your furnace goes off," said Johnson.
But what's the most telling sign that you have a problem with your heating?


text: So breastfeeding has been going so well, and then DD cuts her two bottom teeth (at the same time!), and now, all of a sudden, it hurts when she nurses. It's been like that reliably for the past couple days. I feel like the obvious answer is that the two events are related, but I'm not for sure that they are, and what to do about it. I've tried adjusting her position, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Not every time does it hurt. My nipples aren't showing any signs of damage, or of thrush, nor does my DD, that I can see. I realize thrush may not have any outward signs. My period hasn't returned, and we are most definitely exclusively breastfeeding often, night and day. Although I realize no birth control method is 100%, even LAM, and as such, I just called my DH, who will be getting off night shift soon and asked him to go get a pregnancy test on his way home. Overkill? Maybe, but it sure doesn't seem like it when you can't sleep because it hurts to nurse! I will say that the pain seems worse when she's sleepy-- there have been times in the past when she's nursed to sleep, and once she's sleeping, the nursing becomes a little painful. I've always just chalked it up to the latch getting a little sloppy since she's fallen asleep, and just unlatched her. But, just now when I nursed her, even though she was sleepy, it hurt at the beginning of the nursing. Wow, this is beyond frustrating-- help!
