What would the salaries look like in order to build a core of:

Not sure why Lebron would want an aging Johnson over Bosh but I say give him what he wants. Maybe he knows that JJ does not get a max deal so it leaves room for other acquisitions. Maybe he thinks as he gets older he will be more of a post up player and would like to kick it out to an elite shooter like Johnson.Ric Bucher of ESPN quoted a league source on Thursday when he said that LeBron James might be more interested in coming to the Knicks if they have Hawks' shooting guard Joe Johnson. "If it's LeBron James they want," Bucher said, "a league source says the Hawks' shooting guard is a very good place to start."
I would sign Lebron and let him know he can chose who he wants...anything to get Lebron is worth it IMO even paying JJ more than he is worth.
What would the salaries look like in order to build a core of:
I think that would be the best 3 player combination in the league.
Also many of you may be saying, Why in the hell should we resign McGrady? Because Tmac is good to keep around if they can get him for a affordable price. Hes a great Mentor to Douglas, Chandler, Walker, Gallo and the other young guys. then if you add in LeBron to the team and a winning atmosphere, then the knicks would be like a Rookie to star building machine. Look at the great progress we have seen out of Walker and Douglas. I think McGrady has something to do with that.
Sorry guys. There is no way to sign all three. There isn't enough cap space. Even if Lebron takes less than the max, there isn't enough cap space. I really don't see Lebron taking $11 mil.
There was another rumor the other day that said the Cavs are getting worried because Lebron has been watching Knick games in the lockerroom before Cav games. That he's been keeping an eye on Douglas, Gallo and Chandler.
Look for these types of rumors to be coming out on a weekly basis from now on until he signs somewhere.
Lebron probably hasn't even made up his mind yet. What happens in the playoffs will greatly affect his decision. I'm rooting for a Heat/Cavs first round matchup and Wade wins. That would send Lebron packing.
I understand your optimism about the possibility of this guy signing here but until he openly admits that he wants to be a Knick, I will continue looking at him as Queen James.Something tells me that he is going to kick us in the rear end come July.What I can't stand are the Knick fans that kiss up to this guy whenever he plays against the Knicks at the garden.I wonder how idiotic these people will feel if Lebron tells everybody that he's staying in Cleveland.These people should already know that kissing a visiting player's behind is one of the most degrading things a person could ever do.
kobe is on the decline, i think bynum may get a lil bit better,and gasol is a very good all star level but not elite power forward in this league, he was never able to win **** as the go to guy in memphis.
Lebron is hands down by far the best player in the nba
johnson is hands down by far a top 5 shooting guard in this league
and lee is the best passing, rebounding power forward in the league with a top 5 pf offensive skill set.
those three with gallo, chandler, douglas, 2 fillers, walker, and a cheap t mac would be a 66-16 team for the next 3-4 years.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
Kobe is on the decline??? He may not be where he was two years ago, but he has enough to be the best in the league WHEN IT COUNTS. Lebron couldn't even put away the magic. His playoff clutch ability is very suspect.
And did you forget about Lamar Odom? Without O, the Lakers don't win the title. Where was Bynum during their playoff run? M.I.A. Lamar Odom, alone, is better than Lee. If he was getting Lee type minutes, on a bum ass team like this one, he would average better numbers than Lee: 22 PPG, 13 rebounds, and an actual block.
As for Gasol, he owns Lee on every level, that's not even a question. And everyone knows Gasol is considered the best passing big man in the league. He is constantly called, by experts, the most skilled, in fact. And Howard stated, in last year's finals, that he wants to play more like Gasol. But he's not "elite," Howard's just insane: Gasol is in the same league as Caman, David West and Randolph.
As for Gasol, according to you, not winning anything in Memphis, let us go over this again, for the millionth time. Gasol took the Griz to their only three playoff appearances. In spite of all of the hype they have this year, they still cannot make it. What do they lack? Gasol.
Pau Gasol basically carried the Griz to their only successful seasons (in the vaunted West, by the way); and they gave him no one, insofar as support. If they did, list them out. Who? Eddie Jones, age 38? Damon Stoudamire, age 40? Battier, Mr. Blend-in-with-the-crowd? Mike Miller, defer-to-everyone-else? You cannot call a player unsuccessful, when he does not receive adequate help.
And Pau never got to gel with Rudy Gay and Mayo. If they still had Pau, the Griz would be going to the playoffs this year, with a shot to win a series. Meanwhile, Kobe, who reaps the benefits of playing with Pau, would be on a mediocre team, still being looked at as being Shaq's b!tch.
And where was Kobe, in between the time that LA got Gasol and Shaq signed with Miami? He was missing the playoffs, getting bumped early, losing perpetually. He needed Gasol as much as Gasol needed him.
Kobe is great, but he needs a great big man to play with. His need to play alongside Shaq, and, later, Gasol, in order to win big, proves this.
The same goes for Lebron. If he plays on the Knicks, with Lee as the best big, the Knicks will be a team that makes the playoffs, only to get bumped in the 2nd round, every year. Bosh is a must have!

I agree with many people that if the Knicks sign Lebron and bring back Lee, guys like Dwight Howard will start to lose many hours of sleep.I definitely would shake in my boots if I were an NBA big man and saw David Lee guarding me.This is why Walsh needs to give Lee a 6 year contract of max money.If David Lee comes back to the Knicks next season, I see him playing Bill Russell type of defense.Not only will he lead the league in block shots per game, he would become a better rebounder than Rodman in his prime.Could you imagine a player that plays defense like Bill Russell, blocks shots like Mark Eaton and rebounds better than Rodman? I am predicting it right now; next year David Lee will win an MVP, Mike D'antoni will win coach of the year and the Knicks will go 74-8 and go undefeated in the playoffs.

yea im into live also. i had to create Frye Lee and Nate. i can't wait till Live'06 comes out.
In nba live 2003.....i used the knicks...
and i remember trading for stephon marbury and i also had jamal crawford off the bench(his rating sucked) cuz he had a high 3pt rating
then in 2004
i traded for crawford and had him as the starting Pg on my team cuz i liked him alot...
then in 2005 my team was
C-amare Stoudamire
Pf-Eddie Curry
Sf-Peja stojokovich
Sg-QUENTIN RICHARDSON
Pg-Jamal Crawford
I dont like using marbury in live cuz im just not good wit him so i traded him
this is relly odd.....i also in some other game ended up with tim thomas cuz i did a trade with the bucks and i had to make the contracts work (i think it was inside drive 2002 or 2003 i dont member witch one i own)
also like 8 years ago i had nba shootout or somthing(for psx)....and i traded allen houston from the pistons to the knicks...wow
Maybe on nba live 06 i should trade for
Kevin Garnet
Lebron James
Kobe Bryant
Ben Wallace
And Dwayne wade (or just keep stephon)
it could work
every thing i stated above is 100% true
yea im into live also. i had to create Frye Lee and Nate. i can't wait till Live'06 comes out.
New York Basketball!!
yea im a huge live fan.....but tell me those coincidences arent weird......
the knicks team are going to be nice this year....they had a good rating last year as well...and we only got better...if isaih dont get a pf this year first thing im doing its trading for stromile swift
me 2 im a live fan, and i made the sickest team. i was in cap hell though... this was my line up
c-ben wallace (got him for crawford)
pf-emeka okafor ( got him for nazr mohammed and some other guy)
sf-tmac ( got him for kt and some other players i forgot)
sg-eddie jones ( got him for tim thomas)
i won 3 championships in about 6 or 7 seasons then traded tmac who was like 35 years old for lebron and snow. my bens defensive ratings were in the 90s and eddie jones was like 40 something years old but i kept him for his hot shooting
Sg-Michael Redd
that is my best but that was in a fantasy draft bench was
Pf-i forgot his name(shot blocker)
Sf-Created guy (he was ok...nothing great)
Sg-i dont remember someone who can shoot tho
Pg-Brenden knight (99 steal rating)
very young team....i had like the 8th overall pick and took tmac then traded him and wound up wit my team
you give yourself too much credit...i definetely dont see Amare, Curry or Peja on our team...and jamal was a given so u got one new addition right haha
Ive had a roster of...
C Amare Stoudamire
F Stromile Swift
F LeBron James
G Ray Allen
G Stephon Marbury in 05
aswell as my current roster of
C Eddy Curry
C Darko Milicic
PF Rasheed Wallace
PF Mike Sweetney
SF Tracy McGrady
SF Trevor Ariza
SG Kobe Bryant
SG Kyle Korver
SG Allan Houston
PG Stephon Marbury
PG Charlie Ward...
thats the hottest team riight there tho
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
Elias Arverdson (big guy i drafted)
Erik Dampier
Rashard Lewis
Quentin Richardson
Stephon Marbury
Jeff McInnis
Allan Houston
Marc Blount
Robert Horry
Kyle Korver
Jake Tsakalidis
Mats Lingren (point guard i drafted)
Jerome Williams
talking abioyut nba live.. guess who was my starting C?
i bet u played sacramento in the finals.. right?
LOL I always play sac in the finals! I whoop der asses tho. I try not to relate the skill rating in the game to the ACTUAL athletes skill in reality. GM mode in Live '06 better be better than '05.
Im never afraid to use Sundov.(realroster)
btw- anyone else create Frye, Nate, and Lee?
if so what ratings did you give them?
New York Basketball!!
I'm in to live but I try to keep my team realistic, in most cases. I have traded Tim Thomas for C Weber. But now I play Marbury at SG and he kicks ass. Q Richardson's (SF) dunks are incredible! James... I got 17 pt and 10 rebounds on Shaq. Ha ha!!!! Bust Shaq's ass! He got his dunks off though. Of course I had Crawford at point. I still would like to see Thomas traded for Webber.
in 05 my team was
C - Ben Wallace
PF- Tim Duncan
SF- Elden Campbell (monster shot blocker)
SG- Ray Allen
PG- Chauncey Billups
i had a big trade with detroit thats y i got this roster lol
but we were sick man
it's not the mighty ones that are winners, it's the winners that are mighty
haha, that was an easy guess.. especially with that screen in the backgroundOriginally Posted by Peach_NYK_21
but the funny thing is that i played game 5 - the last game at MSG
I hate the ratings and stats of 2005!! but other than that, i loved the game, i loved boosting Ariza's stats and playing in the dunk contest!! its always Ariza & LeBron! and i kick LeBrons ass!
haha back to the main topic of this, that is a weird coincedence with the whole roster thing...
Before Mr. Tayor taught the world to play
Before fiber glass, before parque
Before the world Doctor was spelled with a "J"
And ballrooms were ball courts where the renissance played
Before hype and before the dunk
After the rythm but before the funk
It was only a ball, and the soul of the game
Bleed oRaNgE & bLuE, the only way to bleed
my team was
c-theo ratliff the best shot blocker in live
off the bench i had mutumbo,childress,jr smith,mike james,ariza,malik,sweetney

Waterbury Center man gets jail time
BARRE A Waterbury Center man will spend 16 days in jail for grabbing a 17-year-old girls breast and for his 10th charge of driving with a suspended license.
Steve A. Salls, 53, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Washington County criminal court in Barre to a misdemeanor prohibited act and driving with a suspended license. He was sentenced to 16 days to six months, all suspended except 16 days. He was initially charged with felony lewd and lascivious conduct but had the charge amended under a plea agreement.
He is to start serving his sentence at the Northeast Regional Correctional Facility in St. Johnsbury on Jan. 26.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, the 17-year-old reported to the Department for Children and Families in July 2012 that Salls would repeatedly grab her after giving her a cigarette. State police said that when they questioned him he admitted doing it four or five times over the past year but added that she flirts and provokes it, too.
Similar allegations were leveled against Salls with the same girl last year, but charges were not filed because there was a question of consent on the part of the girl, according to state police.
Salls has previous convictions for selling cocaine, driving under the influence and simple assault as well as nine convictions for driving with a suspended license.
According to the state police affidavit concerning the license conviction, a detective saw Salls driving out of his driveway in Waterbury Center on Aug. 22, 2012. The detective said she knew Salls had a suspended license. Salls drove into the parking lot of Emerys Village Store and Deli and the detective pulled in after him. When asked why he was driving, Salls said he was on his way to play horseshoes, according to police.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

Public School Recognition
Application for Recognition of Schools (2014-2015)
The 2014-2015 Application for Recognition of Schools (ARS) is now available and open on IWAS for public school administrators, school district personnel, and Regional Office of Education personnel to submit their applications electronically. As part of the ARS:
- Each school district must submit a list of all paraprofessionals it employs to the State Superintendent of Education with the application as per 23 Ill Admin. Code 1.630 (b) (5) (A).
- School districts must submit information concerning first and second year principals eligible for the Illinois New Principal Mentoring Program as per Public Act 94-1039.
- School districts must respond to questions regarding teacher and principal evaluations. Each item, which includes the applicable statutory reference, must be answered either "yes" or "no". Though implementation dates of PERA and Senate Bill 7 may vary, the items in this section apply to all school districts in Illinois. Important note: due to confusion in the previous application submission, a district will not be able to submit the ARS for its schools [see paragraph (a) above] until it has submitted the Teacher and Principal Evaluation responses to the Regional Superintendent of Schools.
The following timelines apply to the submission of the ARS:
- Each public school is required to submit the ARS electronically to its district office prior to September 30, 2014. In the case of Chicago Public Schools (CPS), each school is required to submit the ARS electronically to the CPS Office of Education Policy and Procedures by the close of business on September 30, 2014.
- Each school district must submit the ARS for each of its schools to the respective Regional Office of Education by the close of business on September 30, 2014.
- The Regional Offices of Education and the CPS Office of Education Policy and Procedures are then required to electronically transmit the ARS to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) by the close of business on October 15, 2014.
All components of the ARS must be formally approved by the applicable local board of education before submitting to the Regional Superintendent of Schools. The ARS User Guide is available for your reference below. For your convenience links to the relevant sections of the 23 Illinois Administrative Code are highlighted in blue. To access the ARS system in IWAS, login to your account and click the System Listing button (located in the menu on the left-hand side). The ARS is located under the heading "Survey."

Positives from NLCS Game 3 Dodgers vs. Phillies
Yeah, the Dodgers lost this game 11-0. Cliff Lee was unhittable. Kuroda did not have it and our bullpen got hit. Ouch! BUT there got to be some positives in that game right?
Let's see..
- It only counts as one loss
- We got Wolf going tomorrow!
- We got to listen to Vin on the radio (or MLB audio) for 6 innings! (1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9)
- Manny got two hits so he is starting to hit, right?
- Billingsley looks like he could start a game back at Dodger Stadium
- Dodgers are the only team that have not committed an error.
OK, if I think of any more postivies, I'll post them later.
Thank God we could listen to Vin Scully during this game. Here are some comments by Vin:
Afer a line drive that scored Carlos Ruiz to make the score 5 -0 Phillies, Vin said "I'll be honest, the bell is not the only one with a crack on it."
After Vinny reads a promo about a DODGERLIFE event that allows you to hit, throw, run, eat….swing for the fences…,he said
"I'll tell you right now, is a heck of a time to read that promo. None of the things the Dodgers are doing right now." LOL.
After the game was finally over:
"The Dodgers have been overwhelmed. tonight. If this was a heavyweights, well any kinda of weights, this would have been stopped a long time ago because the Dodgers have been on the ropes …They've been getting a pounding. "
We love you vin!!
And we love our Dodgers because they may be bums, but they are our bums
Go Dodgers!
Today is the anniversary of that famous home-run by Rick Monday in the NLCS series against Montreal!
Happy 28th anniversary Monday!

Just when I think I've heard all of Vinny's "Vinnyisms" I still laugh. I'm sure I've heard of the "hiccup" line before, but it still makes me laugh!!! I LOVE YOU VIN!!! Emma – Thx for the laugh!!! I needed it!!! 🙂
And yes, like I said on ITD, it still only counts as one loss…
Oh yeah Emma – HIGH FIVE!!!
Vin made the game more bearable. HIGH FIVE to you too!!!
Oh and that was silly phan52 saying the crowd had a lot to do with the scoring in the first inning. haha. That was plain silly.
Emma, that was the stupidest comment I ever read. Of course it comes from a Philly phan. I'm not usually that straightforward, but that comment just made me tell him (or her; still don't know which one it is) to shut up. And the worse thing yet; he/she has reproduced and has a kid. I feel sorry for the kid.
That's right Emma. We took a whuppin' last night. But… as you said… it's only one game. Let's get a Wolf attack going!
Plus Emma, if phan thinks that the crowd was responsible for putting up crooked numbers in the first inning, he/she doesn't must not think much of the Phillies' players…
You are funny! It was so good to see you at the stadium. And you and Will were there very early to meet my brother and my Top Deck friends. You are right that he did not give credit to the phillie's hitters. Also he must not know that Kuroda had been inactive for a while due to a neck injury. Pitching a simulated game in the Spring Training facitily is not the same as facing Major League hitters. Kuroda was just not ready yet.
I am ready for the Wolf attach tonight!
It was great seeing both you and Will last week!!! But when we win a game in Philly (see, I said when, not if), there may be chance that I'll be at game 6 on Friday!!! I'll keep you posted!!! And I'm sure he/she knows that Kuroda-san was inactive for a while. Poor decision on Torre's part to put him on the roster as a starter. But this series is FAR from over. We were down 2 games to 1 against Montreal in 1988. We all know how that ended up!!! 🙂
Well, I've gotta go Emma! I'll catch up with ya later…
OK, whoever this "phan52" is, is apparently giving the rest of us Philly fans a bad name. We're not all like that, you know🙂. Anyway, I wish there were a way to clone Cliff Lee for the remainder of the playoffs – he has been the best Phillies pitcher by far. Kuroda was definitely not ready to come back, I felt kind of bad for him (well, just a little). Another ex-Phil on the mound for you guys tonight, so should be a good game!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I didn't realize the Dodgers were the only team without an error. That's huge! As long as they continue not to make mistakes, they've got a good shot. Good luck tonight!
Sue – I'm sorry, I know not all Philly fans are bad. I've read your comments here on Emma's blog, and you are what a true fan should be like (whether it's a fan of the Dodgers or the Phillies or any other team). And we wouldn't even mind phan52 so much if he/she (again, I still don't know which one applies) was just supportive of the Phillies. But if you ever get a chance, go to the Inside The Dodgers blog (we affectionately call it ITD) you will see that name quite often. Emma has a link to to Inside the Dodgers on top of her Favorite blogs list. But yes, Cliff Lee has been quite good for the Phils. 🙂
Oh, and Sue, I caution you – ITD is, how should I say it, a little more "graphic" than Emma's blog!!!
Sometimes, it is actually better if you lose a blowout rather than a close one. In a blowout, you know you are going to lose, but in a close game, you are left thinking of what might have happened.
Hope to see you on Friday!
I could not believe it ethier..mean ethier .. oh you know what I mean. I am craving a TURKEY sandwich!!
phan52 is one fan that likes to go glow and pest there. He has been doing that since last year, but most have learned to ignore him. And we all know, not all phans are like him.
Yes, another Ex-Phillie on the mound. I was hearing on the radio that Wolf heard from the Wolf pack. He still keeps in contact with some of those guys.
that is right! With a blowout, you can start thinking about the next day. they should have let Loretta pitch.
I don't remember, have they ever had a non-pitcher pitch an inning in post season?
CP! I forgot!! I definitely remember 1981! . I will never forget Monday on a Monday coming up with that big homerun! I kept jumping up and down like the way he was jumping up. OMG!! I just looked it up and TODAY is the anniversary of that happy Monday!
Happy anniversary Monday!!
Oh, is today the anniversary of Monday's HR??? Wow, that is awesome Emma!!! And Happy anniversary to Monday on Monday!!!
I know you said 1988 and mentioned Montreal but is all good since our Dodgers won both years!!
Yeah Emma, I just realized my mistake! Oh well! Yes, I was originally talking about 1981!!!
Well CP! You reminded me of it so I just updated my post with a pic of Monday! Thanks for reminding me! I am sure Josh or probably Mark Langill will talk about it today in the ITD.
Well Emma, we're two peas in a pod!!! We know what we meant; our fingers just didn't cooperate!!! (Yes, blame it on our fingers!!!) And yes, I'm sure Josh and/or Mark will talk about that anniversary!!!
Emma – Mark Langhill did just put up another thread on ITD. And yes he talked about yesterday's loss in historical context. But he didn't mention Rick Monday's blast!!!
I love what he said about 1959:
" Older fans should recognize the same score from Game 1 of the 1959 World Series. After the 11-0 defeat against the White Sox in Chicago, pitcher Don Drysdale boarded the bus and shouted, "Is that all they've got?", which drew laughter from his teammates and the Dodgers eventually won the Series in six games."
lol sounds like Big D was a fun teamates but a fearsome competitor.
I was busting up when I read that!!! I had never heard that about Drysdale!!! Well, I do want to see our "next competitors" (i.e. Angels/Yankees). I just heard that Vlad just tied up the game!!!
Catch ya later Emma!!!
And again,
OH WOW! Just saw my blackberry blinking and saw your message. Did not know the Angels had tied the game! That place must be rocking. I have the MLB audio, but is not working or else I'd be working and listening to the game! I leave at 5 on the train and don't get home until close to 7 so I'll listen to the game on my way home. And hopefully watch the replay once I get home.
My heart and stomach is beginning to get a little nervous.
ay ay ay.
Before the game I did wonder to myself why Chad Billingley did not get the start. Did he and the Beaver get grounded by messing up the neighbors rose bushes again?
Seriously, after it got to 5-0 the Dodgers did not quit, but the crowd was so into that game the energy seemed to get sapped right out of the visitor's dugout.
But as you say, tonight can bring them even again.
And that is the fun of a 7-game series. It is never over until someone posts that "4th" win.
Keep the faith!
Rays Renegade
Nice post. I'm really pulling for a Dodger's victory in this series because I think it would be awesome to see Torre return to NY if the Yankees make the World Series as well. It won't be any easy task.
Your Dodgers are up now! And congrats on being #52 on the latest Leader's list!
I was trying to keep the faith, but tonight's game was a killer. I am totally depressed now.
Thanks. Tonight's loss really hurt. I think it was because it was in the 9th that we lost it.
thanks. I don't know how you do it informing everyone. Did I say I am depressed after that devastating loss?
Heart…. Breaker.
Emma, That was more surprising to me than anything….I have to say even I was in shock when Rollins actually connected off Broxton…
Outside the Phillie Looking In
I feel for ya, Emma. I know your pain and I assure you it will get better with time… especially if your Dodgers can win three in a row now. They have to or else.
I love Randy Wolf – he was my favorite pitcher when he was here…and a real nice guy too. Felt bad for him in that loss, but happy we won. We were all surprised by that win though.
I am curious as to why you consider it a "positive" that Billingsley could start one of the games if they make it back to Dodger Stadium. I would think of that as a negative. Bills was absolutely horrible against them in the playoffs last year and from his late season meltdown I think we need to keep him in the bullpen. Now is not the time for experimentation. I mean, if we get that far to where there is the possibility of Game 6 or 7. If he did that people would be calling for Torre's head.
C'mon Emma… we need a win in the worstest way ; ) Let's just not go out in a 4-1 bow.. like we did last year…
Imagine how we felt. Being one out from a win. And I know you and all Philly phans were beyond ecstatic! I know I would have been.
It shocked everyone ha? yeah, Randy is a nice guy. Did you know he pitched a perfect game at Dodger Stadium when he was in school?
yeah, I know it will get better with time but this one hurt more so than the other ones. ONE OUT, that is all we neded to take that game. ONE OUT! agh..
Hey I love that name!
Well, Billz did way better than Kuroda. We can't go by last year's performance. Kuroda did great in the playoff last year. With Kuroda being on the DL several times this year plus when he got hit on the head. That was a long layoff for him. He had not seen major league hitting for a while. Not counting that workout in Glendale, Az. I agree no time to experiment. When I said it we were down 2 games to 1 and I was very hopeful we would take game 4. I wish in that game that Billz was there, Torre would have left him a little longer. The way we are down now, NO, I would not put Billz there. OK, I was going to say I wish we would…. not going there . Is done.
Ii am all stressed out with auditors (Federal this time) at work. I have not had time to post.
oK, i hit whatever button there and I had not finished.
I hope we do not go out like we did last year but I don't want them celebrating at Dodger Stadium either! Oh man!
A friend text me a couple of days the following:
"If today is the anniversary of Rick Monday's homerun in the NLCS in Montreal, then last night was the anniversary of Jerry Reuss and the trench coat!" LOL. Anyone remember the story?
So sorry about your Dodgers, Emma. They fought hard. I know you must be disappointed.
Thanks Jane.
Yes, I am very disappointed. The loss with Jonathan on the mound and one out for a win, left me very depressed and disappointed. Well, like saying that was made so famous by the Broklyn Dodger fans "Wait Till Next Year." Perhaps I should re-read the book but right now I am in the middle of reading a book that a friend at the stadium loaned me. It is "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."
I know that book your reading Emma! You'll have to let me know if it is good. I just saw the score – I am so sorry about your Dodgers – I know how you feel. Remember all the good times you had at the ballpark this season!
thanks. I really appreciate you stopping by and thinking of me during a time when like Jeff, I wanted to crawl under a rock. Yes, I had wonderful times at Dodger Stadium this year. I am alredy looking forward to next year and planning a trip to Fenway Park with friends!
I am enjoying the book Julia. I did not think I would but I am. It follows the same story as the orignial P&P with the twist of the zombies. I do go ewwwww at some parts. I am curious how this particular person in the book is going thru the transformation little by little after being bitten by one of the "unmentionables" like they say in the book.
Sometimes a team just get on the momentum roll and nothing can get in their way.
Unfortunately Philly got on a hits run and stayed hot in both games.
Worst thing is to see a team that has struggled and fought their way see their season end on a home run barrage.
But there was some amzing things done by the Dodgers this season, and they should not hang their heads for a moment.
Have to admit, if it is Philly?NY series you can bet me television will be on something else.
Maybe I should get a Netflix subscription for next week?

Guitar duo to play at Grey Towers
August 14, 2013 —
MILFORD, PA — The Newman and Oltman Guitar Duo will present a "Classics New and Old" concert at Grey Towers, the former Pinchot family estate and National Historic Site, on Saturday, August 17 beginning at 5:30 p.m. The program includes works by Piazzolla, Albeniz and Giuliani—the 19th-century composer, not the mayor—as well as modern guitar music they have commissioned, including "Raritan Triptych" and "No Feathers on this Frog."
Newman and Oltman have served as ensemble-in-residence at New York City's Mannes College of Music for 25 years. They have performed all over the world, winning rave reviews at Carnegie Hall, the Caramoor Festival and other major venues.
Tickets cost $20 at the door or $15 with advance purchase at www.kindredspiritsarts.org; children under 15 are admitted free. Tickets are also on sale at Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad Street, Milford.


text: Lets all just stop hoping we can get the best PG of this generation, who's stated openly that he wants to play here w Amare and Melo. He wouldn't help us that much because legit, great 2-way players always fail to make their teams better. Also an Amare-Melo-Paul combo would pale in comparison to Lopez-Brooks-Dwill or any other 3 player combo in the league anyway so f*ck it.. may as well not even try.

Gratuitous Good Wishes!
Grab a beer, put on a funny hat and get out the birfday cake, y'all, 'cuz today is Mr. Krause's 3rd annual 29th birthday!
That's right… 29 years and 1095 days ago, my crotchety and oft curt colleague, Mr. Krause, came into the world wielding a Chet Lemon inscribed Louisville Slugger and a Kirk Gibson mustache (at least, that's how the story goes).
And since Mr. Krause is always giving me a hard time for posting gratuitous pics of scantily clad beauties on a baseball-politico blog, I thought I would take some time to post gratuitous pictures that he would like:
And let us not forget… if it has reason behind it, it ain't that gratuitous, which should give me a free pass to post pictures of hot chicks here for as long as I deem necessary.
I think.
Anyway, holla at Al. Tell him you love him (if you love him, that is). And make sure you dig on that gnarly photograph I recently snagged from his folks' place.
Hate me. Don't hate Al. Not today anyway.

Happy BD. Is that a Speed Racer checkered flag sweater you are wearing?
I bet is he heck-bent for Winsor by 5 pm with a fistful of georgies and looking for…birthday kisses.
You know you brought the party to a sudden halt with a photo of Ohio State cheerleaders. Guess our birthday boy will just have to Photoshop them in maize and blue.
I wish I was in the Motor City tonight, I would then boogie on down to the MGM Casino and put my chips on 29.
BTW, did you buy him "Mr. Baseball" on Blu-Ray yet?
Rays Renegade
Happy Birthday Al! I raise my wine glass to you – at least that's this evening's excuse for one of the glasses😉
Great job on the photos Jeff, especially Magnum. Best. Tigers fan. Ever.
– Kristen
How cute is that pic of Allen? Nice job stealing it from his parents' house, Jeff, and Happy Birthday, Allen! May you be 29 forever.
He lies about his age? That's a chick thing.
Happy belated birthday, Al. I hope you had a great day, and enjoyed a cold beer while watching 'For Love Of The Game'.

Opening of downtown ice rink delayed a week
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:06 p.m.
One way that's bound to generate some holiday spirit will have to stay on ice a little longer.
After a five-year hiatus, the return of the ice skating rink to downtown Gainesville has been pushed back a week from Friday until Friday, Nov. 30.
Russell Etling, with the city's Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, attributed the delay to logistical and supply difficulties that Midwest Display Inc., the firm that will operate the rink, faced in getting the rink set up by this Friday.
"They were unable to get everything in place to get it up by Friday," Etling said.
Because of the delay in opening, the rink's stay on the Bo Diddley Downtown Community Plaza will also be extended one week from Jan. 6 to Jan 13.
The city discontinued the rink in 2007 because of budget issues. This year, the city will not provide Midwest Display any funding to operate the rink and will receive 10 percent of the ticket revenues.
The Plaza Ice Palace will be open from 4 to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. Prices are $10 per person, including skate rental, for one hour or $7 per person for those who bring their own skates.

Why I cheered for Derek Jeter
As a Red Sox fan, I have been brought up to hate the Yankees. The timeless rivalry dates back to the beginnings of baseball, and has been augmented numerous times thanks to trades we want to forget, home runs we wish had never been hit, and bench clearing brawls.
ed hitter, and have Martinez at first with Jason Varitek catching.I know that Varitek's average is worse than Big Papi's, but he has more of an impact on the game with his defense than Papi does. I think that would be the best offensive lineup that the Red Sox can put out there.
19 Comments
Great blog, Elizabeth! I share your admiration for Jeter's feat. Few franchises have the history that the Red Sox and Yankees (and others) do, so for a player to set one of those team's all-time hit records at this point is worthy of celebration. And while I root against the Yankees, I don't do so with such hostility that I can't appreciate an accomplishment like Jeter's.
I objected to Jim Rice's comment last month citing Jeter as an example of all that's wrong with the game. In fact, I've always seen Jeter as a positive ambassador — he doesn't run his mouth, he plays hard, he's rarely out of the lineup, and he conducts himself outside the game (at least from what I can tell) with integrity. It just so happens he plays for the Sox' arch nemesis.
I don't really understand Red Sox fans who feel the need to trash Jeter solely because he's a Yankee. Baseball is an amazing game — "the only real game," as Babe Ruth once said — and it would be a loss for me if I couldn't enjoy and appreciate the noteworthy feats of all players, regardless of uniform. That doesn't diminish my passion for the Red Sox one bit, and it doesn't temper my enthusiasm for rooting against the Yankees either. It just means that last night when I watched Jeter's historic at-bat, I felt fortunate to have witnessed it.
As for the Sox' lineup, Tito will be Tito. I've felt frustrated at several points since the break with the way this team's been managed, and, like you, my principal objection is the inclusion of Papi in almost every lineup (even against tough left-handed hurlers that Ortiz routinely struggles against). I'm not confident this will be worked out to my satisfaction, and with a starting rotation still trying to find its groove, I think we're up against it as the season comes to its close. But we've been up against it before, and if there's one thing I have no confidence doing, it's predicting what might happen come October.
Nice entry, the Yankees and Red Sox are sure the powerhouses of the AL East. Good thing they keep each other busy with competition against one another. They both are sure fun to watch.
Matthew Tang
Isn't that why we all cheer for Derek?
He is a fun outgoing guy and no one can hate him\\
not even the red sox.
Thanks for stopping by btw,
love your blog. =)
Derek is one of few that have accomplished 2,000 hits. And yet he is still going to get 3,000.
Can you believe he is way out ahead of Ichiro?
I can't.
good luck to Jeter I wish him well,
–Ted "TTW/T"
I really loved this post, Elizabeth, especially about your goal of reaching out to the disabled and turning them on to baseball. You're so right about all the senses being involved: the sounds, the sights, the smells. I know you'll find a way to achieve your goal. As for the Yanks and Sox, I wrote a piece for the NY Times about that very subject last year: how we hate each other and need each other at the same time. If I weren't so lazy, I'd go find the link. I think it's cool that you cheered for Jeter. You can go right back to hating the Yankees now!
Elizabeth, I think it's great that you were able to look beyond the rivalry, and appreciate and cheer for Jeter's accomplishment (and maybe brave to admit it). A milestone like that transcends rivalries, and of course it doesn't hurt that Jeter is a player who gives his all and plays the game the right way.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Yes, no matter who I root for, I cheered for Derek Jetter. As a baseball fan, I appreciate his accomplishments. I admire you for those goals that you have setup yourself to acoomplish. Keep reaching for them!
That's definitely one of your best blogs ever. And I must admit, I also cheered for Derek Jeter. To me, he represents all that is good in the game. I can't see him as a steroid user. I see him as a captain and a clutch hitter. But, I also see him as a Yankee, so I still wince just a bit admitting that I cheered for him. But I couldn't help it.
You have noble ambitions regarding bringing baseball to people with disabilities. I have a feeling you'll do it too. I hopw you will always write about baseball. You have a way of making it come alive on the page.
And right on about Lowell and Tek. Papi has been getting some hits here and there, but Lowell has greater consistency at the plate and we could definitely use his defense on a nightly basis. However, I think Francona is playing it smart by not using Lowell every night. You can tell that MIke can't run effectively and, much like Baldelli, should be used sparingly if we are going to make a good run at the playoffs.
What about Bowden for Byrd in the starting rotation? That kid can pitch! (and better than Byrd at this rate).
Keep up the great work!
I always cheer for Jeter! He is one of the best players in the game and a great role model for kids everwhere. Whether you are a fan of the Yankees or not, this guy is GREAT for baseball and should be appreciated by all fans. He gives 110% all the time…I wish him the best!
I admire what Jeter has done – but for me, Lou Gehrig will always be the greatest player to wear pinstripes. If some day Yaz' hit record is broken – we will all know that Yaz had done all that he could and we will cheer whoever can do that. But it is a bit unsatisfying to see a new Yankee hit leader – we never got to see all the Lou Gehrig could do. We all know that if he was able to play until he wanted to end that he would still own the Yankees record.
I hate the Yankees too,propaly cuz me suck agnist them,but I cheered for Jeter too,he is the one Yankee,I like.
good luck to the Red Sox the rest of the way
I ment we not me,oppps,haha
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for your comment on my blog! Ichiro finally hit #200 tonight and it brightens my day🙂 Anyway, amazing entry, I love it! Trust me, I see Jeter as a Yankee…but I don't, if you get what I mean. I think he's just a classic player and it doesn't matter to me that he's a Yankee and trust me, I hate the Yankees just as much as you do! Jeter is an amazing player and I don't think you're a bad Red Sox fan at all!🙂 xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
This was a beautiful post Elizabeth. I loved the prt about people with disabilities getting involved with and being able to experience baseball. Great post.
Very nice post, especially the reaching out… I think secretly everyone wants someone to break a record when they get close to achieving it….the BoSox definately have a mountain to climb if they get to the post season…but it's baseball anything can happen and usually does…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
BASEBALL IS INDEED A BEAUTIFUL THING…good story. sometimes you got to go against the grain for the good of baseball.
Elizabeth: You know what? You are right. You are absolutely right. I am a huge Yankee fan, 16 years old and I want to be the Yankee clubhouse reporter when I grow up. I hate the Red Sox more that anything. BUT. I need them. They need to be in the AL East breathing down my Yankees' necks, or ahead, forcing my Yanks to make a dramatic comeback. The truth is, they make it fun. Without the Red Sox, well, it just wouldn't be the same. And I admire Jacoby Ellsbury. I love the way he plays the game. I love the speed and energy he brings to his club. He is a great ballplayer.
I think you are very wise to say what you said in this post. Not many fans have the courage to do that. You are obviously a genuine person and a great fan of the game. I admire that.
Great post!! I too cheered for Jeter that night. And a few days later, when I went to Yankess Stadium for the first time, I only cheered for him and booed the rest of them old men. Seriously, Hideki Matsui looks like he's 100 years old and should retire. This year's Red Sox should win it all this year, and we have the players to do so. Hope that tonight goes in our favor!!
Wonderful post, Elizabeth! And yes, I absolutely cheered for Jeter. I hate the Yankees as a team, but not as individuals; there are a number that I do like/admire, and Jeter is definitely one of them. Of course, the Sox are now out of the post season, so we're licking our wounds and again rooting for anyone who plays against the Yankees!

Hi! My daughter is 23 days old and the only time I've gotten any decent sleep since her birth is when I put her in bed with me and my husband. Otherwise she has been sleeping in a pack n' play right next to our bed. That works ok, but after I feed her and rock her back to sleep, I get 1.5 hours if I'm lucky until she wakes up and wants to do it all over again.
I have been reluctant to put her in bed with us all the time because of concerns for safety issues. We have a bed that is rather high off the floor and our mattress has a "pillow top" so it's kind of squishy.
I am wondering how others co-sleep safely. Is it unwise to put a baby on a mattress that is a bit more soft?
Thank you!!

Up next, redheaded, pale, funny and smart ...
No. 2: Conan O'Brien
Even if you didn't know better, you'd suspect that Conan O'Brien was an educated gentleman. And it's not just because he had to turn to books because there wasn't much call for lanky, pale redheads in Hollywood.
O'Brien graduated from high school as valedictorian and then parlayed that high school awesomeness into an Ivy League education at Harvard. O'Brien didn't just graduate; he was a magna cum laude graduate with a bachelor's degree in history and literature.
For anyone else, those might sound like wasted degrees (unless the History Store needs a manager), but time has shown differently.
While at Harvard he wrote for the "Harvard Lampoon" for four years, and then went to scribe for "Saturday Night Live" and "The Simpsons" before overtaking late-night television.
Our last smart celebrity is the former child star who has it all ...
No. 1: Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman has it all. She's gorgeous, a great actress and she's very smart.
In fact, she was smart enough to know that even though she found success early in acting, she needed to hedge her bets and get some education. After all, Hollywood is littered with the drugged-out shells of old child stars, and Queen Amidala wasn't about to let that happen.
But Portman didn't settle for just attending part-time classes at Los Angeles Community College. After graduating high school with a 4.0, she headed off to Harvard, where she received a bachelor's degree in psychology. She did graduate studies at Hebrew University and is fluent in Hebrew, French and Japanese.
She even managed to continue working while pursuing all that education.
It's good to know she has something to fall back on if this whole "acting" thing doesn't pan out for her.

'Merica the Bootyfull
Goddamn it, I love me some 'Merica.
You know this, dear readers. Heck, you probably love you some too.
And yesterday, on our hallowed Fourth of July holiday, I had a grandtastical time with friends, family, and beer. I BBQ-hopped all over the Chi; kissed babies' sunburnt foreheads; ate me some apple pie. At the end of the day I was so drunk with red, white and blue cheer that I couldn't help but point my finger at strangers and say "I want YOU!"
And along the way, I learned what 'Merica really is.
Duh. We all know this. I attended BBQs in costume, as a walking representation of our nation's capital. I wore this red novelty tee (the sleeves I ripped off, 'cuz 'Merica don't need no dang sleeves) with the Washington Nationals cap I picked up during Strasmas a couple of weeks ago.
This outwardly provocative get-up netted me lots of friends. Strangers approached me with "Hey, Strasburg, man!" and "Gotta love Strasburg, dude." The ladies were impressed with me being big in Europe and one of them even made a joke about the possibility of Stephen Strasburg being big in Europe, to which I replied, "Strasburg… he's good and all, but, y'know he ain't no Jeff Lung."
'Merica… it's…
Being Anything You Wanna Be… For Five Hours
Hate me 'cuz it's trendy, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Hope you had an awesome 4th of July. To me, American mostly means baseball.
That guy looks like he could be from my hometown in Ohio. Why didn't you say you were going to a BBQ there? I could've got you hooked up at the Arrow Queen with some cheap ice cream! (I once played kissy face with the owner in high school).
AG23 — Amen for that!
Amy — Next time I'm totally gettin the scoop from you first. PS, that guy can dance too.
Prince — BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Love the Strasburg outfit!
"Strasburg… he's good and all, but, y'know he ain't no Jeff Lung."- I've gotta add this to my 2010 baseball quotes, this made me crack up.
Thanks for the laughs as usual,

FBC — Hehehe. Glad you liked it. I try🙂
Jane — I think his name is Mike, but I can't be sure. It was well past beer thirty when I was introduced to him… cool dude though!
Mimi — Me too! Hope yours was good!
I'm told that 5 hour stuff can give you 10 hrs when used in an Absolut dilution… now thats the kinda t-shirt I need….:-)
Cue Lee Greenwood when that dude's out and about in that (lack of) outfit!
Good times, Jeff!
Peter — Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!
Randy — Done, brother! Done!
Can I share this picture on my site? I'm happy to link back to you. Because 'Merica!

At the risk of stating the obvious, $105 million is a lot of money. That's about what Comcast and NBCUniversal have shelled out on the new Syfy series and video game Defiance, a hybrid unlike anything you've seen on television. I mean your computer. Wait, make that your PlayStation.
Look, it's new. It doesn't fit into any one box in your living room.
Still, $105 million is the rough budget for the project, which includes a staggering $40 million for the TV series alone (for perspective, HBO, the gold standard for expensive TV, shelled out $60 million on Game of Thrones' first season). The balance pays for the $50 million it cost to make the video game, developed with software company Trion Worlds, which shares the financial burden (NBCU owns half of the game with Trion), and the show's huge marketing budget—upwards of $15 million.
[UPDATED: The budget breakdown for Defiance has been revised per new information from Syfy, which initially provided Adweek with erroneous numbers. Though the overall figure is correct, NBCUniversal bears less of the financial burden than it originally indicated.]
That budget alone indicates just how big a swing Defiance is, not just for Syfy but for NBCUniversal's whole cable division. Sources say the show, which debuts April 15 at 9 p.m., is being given as high a level of internal promotional attention as Universal Studios' feature films. "[It's] top-priority across Comcast for March and April, up there with Fast & Furious 6," says one insider.
In other words, Defiance had better hit big.
But seriously, what is it? Think of the TV series as the love child of Joss Whedon's posthumously venerated half-season wonder Firefly and Syfy's own five-season small-town dramedy Eureka. The elevator pitch: It's a post-apocalyptic space Western, set 40 years in the future, that pushes all the geek buttons. The show creator is Rockne S. O'Bannon, whose credits include a cult Syfy show from the late 1990s called Farscape. Actors with genre TV chops man this ship: True Blood vet Grant Bowler plays reluctant sheriff Jeb Nolan, Dexter thespian Julie Benz plays town mayor Amanda Rosewater and relative newcomer Stephanie Leonidas plays Jeb's adopted alien daughter Irisa, who is angry with him for allowing the two of them to get waylaid in Defiance (formerly St. Louis).
There's a lot more to it than that, including an ongoing conflict among several different varieties of alien and alien crossbreed—the pilot is roughly half introductory whodunit and half future-war background primer. And it's crammed with expensive special effects.
The video game is a massively multiplayer third-person shooter that features voice work by actors from the TV series; it goes live and will be available in stores April 2. The game also keeps pace with the events of the show, referring to series plot developments as it goes on. The show returns the favor; as your character fights mutants and aliens on another front, your army's major victories will make an appearance on the show. More on this later.
Syfy president Dave Howe calls the experience "true transmedia," and though he's excited about it, he is aware of what's at stake. "I've lost a lot of sleep over this project, as you can imagine, especially since we've delayed it twice," admits Howe. Defiance has been in development for five years—an eternity for a TV series but not unheard-of for a game (although plenty of games get pounded out in a year or two).

Woman denies charge of trying to kill a police officerDecember 28,2012PROVIDED PHOTO
Jennifer BerubeA transient woman who allegedly tried to kill a Rutland police officer by cutting his throat with a knife was ordered jailed without bail Friday after she pleaded innocent to a charge of attempted murder.
Jennifer Berube, 39, didn't speak during a brief appearance in Rutland criminal court in which she stood in chains while her attorney entered a denial on her behalf to a criminal charge that carries a potential lifetime prison sentence.
Judge Nancy Corsones scheduled a weight of the evidence hearing for next Thursday which will determine whether Berube will continue to be jailed without the option of release by bail.
Berube and her boyfriend John MacLean III, were arrested Thursday afternoon for allegedly trying to use a stolen credit card at businesses on North Main Street and Woodstock Avenue.
The pair was being booked on a number of petty offenses and probably would have been released with a citation to appear in court on a later date when Berube somehow obtained a multi-bladed knife and attempted to pull it across the throat of Officer Damon Nguyen who was on duty in the booking area, according to Rutland police Sgt. John Sly and court filings.
"If it wasn't for the officer's skill set, it would have been a totally different outcome," Sly said. "The minute she laid hands on him, he responded and neutralized the situation."
Instead of cutting across the officer's throat the way Sly said she intended too, the blade left only a minor cut.
Nguyen was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released.
Berube was also taken to the hospital after she was restrained by the officer and other members of the force who rushed to assist him.
During the struggle, Sly said the woman cut both hands on the knife she wielded.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

The Calibre S proposes a new method of measuring and reading time by means of bidirectional systems that are mechanically independentbut synchronized, offering accuracy, practicality and elegance. It combines the precision of quartz technology with the sophistication and complexity of mechanical watchmaking. The Calibre S is the first new generation of analog timepieces to be developed for several centuries and, with some 250 components, it is in the pure avant-garde tradition of TAG Heuer.
This disruptive technology has been strongly inspired by sports car instruments. It uses similar bidirectional micro-motors and 160° dials. Placed at 4.30 and 7.30, they display information ranging from a perpetual calendar to 1/100th of a second.
This breakthrough by TAG Heuer required a special effort to minimize the weight of parts and materials in order to maximize precision and guarantee perfect inertia. The Calibre S underwent 12.000 hours of testing including simulated acceleration, shocks, and exposure to extreme temperatures. Despite the great difficulties involved,TAG Heuer made no concessions in the quality and performance of the Calibre S which is fitted in the Aquaracer and Link series.
– The central hands display the elapsed time measured by the chronograph (hours, minutes and seconds).
– The two counters display the date in Time mode, and 1/00th sec. in Chrono mode.

In my last article, I introduced the concept of archivers; today I would like to demonstrate the usage of the
tar archiver.
Since we'll be backing up and restoring files, I recommend that you create a test user account to practice with until you are comfortable using the
tar utility. On my system, I became the superuser and used the
adduser command to create a test account named
I then followed the prompts to make a user called
I then wanted to quickly add a lot of subdirectories and files to this test user's home directory. Since I had the ports collection installed on my system, I copied over one of its subdirectories:
cp -r /usr/ports/www/ ~test/
I then changed the ownership of these files so they belonged to the test user:
chown -R test ~test/www/*
I now had a lot of files in a test directory to practice with. I then logged in as the
test user and checked out the contents of my home directory:
ls -l
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 375 test wheel 9728 May 11 09:53 www/
du -h | tail -2
28M ./www
It looks like I have 28M worth of data to work with in my test directory.
In theory,
tar can be as easy to use as this command:
tar c .
where the
c means "create an archive" and the "
." means "of the current directory." However, if you try this, you will probably get the same error message I did:
tar c .
tar: can't open /dev/sa0 : Permission denied
Aha, you may think; I'll try as the superuser:
tar c .
tar: can't open /dev/sa0 : Device not configured
Remember last week when I talked about tape devices? By default, the
tar utility assumes that you want to backup to your first SCSI tape drive (
/dev/sa0) which is great, if you happen to have one attached to your PC. If you don't, all is not lost. In Unix, a tape device is simply a file. So it is very easy to tell
tar to create a backup to another file, whether that file be a different type of tape device, a floppy, another hard drive, another PC on the network, or an actual file somewhere on your system.
I'll start simple, by telling
tar to create (
c) a backup of my current directory (
.) to a file I'll call
backup.tar. Since this is not the default backup location, I'll use the
f switch to indicate the name of the file I'd like the backup sent to:
tar cf backup.tar .
When I ran this command, my prompt disappeared for a moment and I heard my hard drive churning away. When my prompt reappeared, I had a new file in my home directory named
backup.tar. If you don't want to just wait in silent anticipation, use the
v switch and
tar will tell you what it is doing while it is doing it. I'll remove that backup and try again with the
v switch:
rm backup.tar
tar cvf backup.tar .
You'll understand the difference when you try this for yourself. Now, let's see what type of file
tar created:
file backup.tar
backup.tar: GNU tar archive
This is not an ASCII text file, so I won't be able to view its contents with a pager or an editor. However,
tar understands this file and I can ask it to read it for me using the
t switch:
tar t backup.tar
tar: can't open /dev/sa0 : Device not configured
Oops, I forgot that
tar expects to read that SCSI tape device unless I tell it to look somewhere else. I'll try again, this time including the
f switch:
tar tf backup.tar
This time, a whole bunch of files and directories fly by very quickly; it looks like I've successfully made a backup. If I wanted to verify the file list, I'd send the output to a pager so I could read it one page at a time:
tar tf backup.tar |more

Learning the Unix Operating System
It is also possible to create a compressed backup by including either of the
z or
Z switches when using
tar. Let's take a look at the size of that backup we just created:
ls -l backup.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 25722880 May 11 16:41 backup.tar
I'll now remove that backup, tell
tar to create a compressed backup using the
gzip utility, then view the difference in size and type:
rm backup.tar
tar cvzf backup.tar.gz .
ls backup.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5899840 May 11 16:45 backup.tar.gz
file backup.tar.gz
backup.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Sat May 11
16:45:47 2002, os: Unix
And I'll repeat the above, except this time tell
tar to compress using the
compress utility instead:
rm backup.tar.gz
tar cvZf backup.tar.Z
ls backup.tar.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9444468 May 11 16:50 backup.tar.Z
file backup.tar.Z
backup.tar.Z: compress'd data 16 bits
To list the files in a compressed archive, don't forget to include the
z (or
Z) switch. For example, if I try this:
tar tf backup.tar.Z
I'll get this strange error:
tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive.
tar: Skipping to next file header...
tar: Skipping to next file header...
tar: only read 3188 bytes from archive backup.tar.Z
Since this file was created with the
Z switch, I have to remember to include the
Z switch whenever I work with this file.
tar tZf backup.tar.Z
The above command will give me the listing of the contents. You'll note that when I created my backups, I gave the archives I created with the
z switch the extension of
tar.gz and the files I created with the
Z switch the extension of
tar.Z. I can call my archive whatever I want; I just used that convention to remind me that I'm dealing with a
tar archive file and what type of compression I used when I created that file. It is always a good idea to use the
file utility on an archive to verify whether or not it has been compressed, and if so, whether it was compressed with the
z or the
Z switch.
Also, when listing the contents of an archive, you can include the
v, or verbose, switch. Here is an example of the difference in the output, first without the
v switch:
tar tzf backup.tar.gz | tail -2
Then with the
v switch:
tar tzvf backup.tar.gz | tail -2
-rw-r--r-- test/wheel 116 May 11 09:53 2002 www/mod_tsunami/pkg-plist
-rw-r--r-- test/wheel 9713 May 11 09:53 2002 www/Makefile
Notice that long listing of the files in the backup and compare that to a long listing of the backup file itself:
ls -l backup.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 15098016 May 11 17:31 backup.tar.gz
The backup was created by the superuser at 17:31, yet the files in the backup still belong to the test user and those files were created at 9:53 (when I set up the test directory). This is what I was talking about in the last article when I said that archivers preserve the permissions and ownership of the files that are backed up.
It is also possible to tell
tar to backup multiple directories:
tar cvzf partial.tar.gz www/apache2 www/chimera www/zope
The above command will create (
c) a gzipped (
z) file (
f) named
partial.tar.gz by archiving the contents of the directories
chimera, and
zope. Remember, tell
tar which file you want to send the backup to first; everything after that name will be what
tar will back up for you.
If you are still saving up for a tape device and want to do a poor man's backup using floppies, this command will backup everthing in your current directory:
tar cvMf /dev/fd0 .
Don't forget to put a floppy disc in your floppy drive, and make sure you are in the directory you want to backup. Note that instead of using the
f switch to give the name of a backup, I used it to specify the name of my floppy device (
Why did I also include the
M, or multi-volume, switch? Since I was backing up a directory with 28M of data, I knew it wouldn't fit all one floppy. Since I used the
M switch, when
tar had filled up the first floppy, it displayed this message:
Prepare volume #2 for
/dev/fd0 and hit return:
It is a good idea to always include the
M switch when backing up to floppies, just in case the data won't fit on one floppy. Also, if you want to save on the number of floppies you'll need, include either of the
z or the
Z switches so that the data will also be compressed as it is backed up.
An interesting note about backing up to floppies: you don't mount the floppy first, and once it contains the backup, you won't be able to mount the floppy. Yet the
tar utility understands the data on the floppy, so this command will work:
tar tvf /dev/fd0
You should run this command after you create your backup, so you can verify the files in the backup.
However, if I try this command:
mount /dev/fd0 /floppy
I'll receive this error:
mount: /dev/fd0 on /floppy: incorrect super block
One last thing about creating archives with
tar was designed to back up everything in the specified directory. This means that every single file and subdirectory that exists beneath the specified directory will be backed up. It is possible to specify which files you don't want backed up using the
X switch.
Let's say I want to backup everything in the
www directory except for the
apache2 and
zope subdirectories. In order to use the
X switch, I have to create a file containing the names of the files I wish to exclude. I've found that if you try to create this file using a text editor, it doesn't always work. However, If you create the file using
echo, it does. So I'll make a file called
echo apache2 > exclude
echo zope >> exclude
Here, I used the
echo command to redirect (
>) the word
apache2 to a new file called
exclude. I then asked it to append (
>>) the word
zope to that same file. If I had forgotten to use two
>'s, I would have overwritten the word
apache2 with the word
Now that I have a file to use with the
X switch, I can make that backup:
tar cvfX backup.tar exclude www
This is the first backup I've demonstrated where the order of the switches is important. I need to tell
tar that the
f switch belongs with the word
backup.tar and the
X switch belongs with the word
exclude. So if I decide to place the
f switch before the
X switch, I need to have the word
backup.tar before the word
exclude. This command will also work as the right switch is still associated with the right word:
tar cvXf exclude backup.tar www
But this command would not work the way I want it to:
tar cvfX exclude backup.tar www
tar: can't open backup.tar : No such file or directory
Here you'll note that the
X switch told
tar to look for a file called
backup.tar to tell it which files to exclude, which isn't what I meant to tell
Let's return to the command that did work. To test that it didn't back up the file called
apache2, I used
grep to sort through
tar's listing:
tar tf backup.tar | grep apache2
Since I just received my prompt back, I know my exclude file worked. It is interesting to note that since
apache2 was really a subdirectory of
www, all of the files in the
apache2 subdirectory were also excluded from the backup. I then tested to see if the
zope subdirectory was also excluded in the backup:
tar tf backup.tar | grep zope
<output snipped>
This time I got some information back, as there were other subdirectories that started with the term "zope," but the subdirectory that was just called
zope was excluded from the backup.
Now that we know how to make backups, let's see how we can restore data from a backup. Remember from last week the difference between a relative and an absolute pathname, as this has an impact when you are restoring data. Relative pathnames are considered a good thing in a backup. Fortunately, the
tar utility that comes with your FreeBSD system strips the leading slash, so it will always use a relative pathname -- unless you specifically overrride this default by using the
P switch.
It's always a good idea to do a listing of the data in an archive before you try to restore it, especially if you receive a
tar archive from someone else. You want to make sure that the listed files do not begin with "
/", as that indicates an absolute pathname. I'll check the first few lines in my backup:
tar tf backup.tar | head
None of these files begin with a "
/", so I'll be able to restore this backup anywhere I would like. I'll practice a restore by making a directory I'll call
testing, and then I'll restore the entire backup to that directory:
mkdir testing
cd testing
tar xvf ~test/backup.tar
You'll note that I
cd'ed into the directory to contain the restored files, then told
tar to restore or extract the entire
backup.tar file using the
x switch. Once the restore was complete, I did a listing of the testing directory:
I then did a listing of that new
www directory and saw that I had successfully restored the entire
www directory structure, including all of its subdirectories and files.
It's also possible to just restore a specific file from the archive. Let's say I only need to restore one file from the
www/chimera directory. First, I'll need to know the name of the file, so I'll get a listing from
tar and use
grep to search for the files in the
chimera subdirectory:
tar tf backup.tar | grep chimera
I'd like to just restore the file
www/chimera/Makefile, and I'd like to restore it to the home directory of the user named
genisis. First, I'll
cd to the directory to which I want that file restored, and then I'll tell
tar just to restore that one file:
cd ~genisis
tar xvf ~test/backup.tar www/chimera/Makefile
You'll note some interesting things if you try this at home. When I did a listing of
genisis' home directory, I didn't see a file called
Makefile, but I did see a directory called
www. This directory contained a subdirectory called
chimera, which contained a file called
Makefile. Remember, when you make an archive, you are including a directory structure, and when you restore from an archive, you recreate that directory structure.
You'll also note that the original ownership, permissions, and file creation time were also restored with that file:
ls -l ~genisis/www/chimera/Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 test wheel 406 May 11 09:52 www/chimera/Makefile
That should get you started with using the
tar utility. In next week's article, I'll continue with some of the interesting options that can be used with
tar, and then I'll introduce the
cpio archiver.
