What a day for a model fitting! Today we had our protos due, and time to try them on the ladies!
A Proto: Is basically the drape, or first draft, of your garment. We had the choice of creating these in yard goods that we bought from a fabric store, or creating them out of our actual fabric.
In my case the jacket in my first look is the actual jacket, minus the closure. The dress beneath the jacket is a proto but is going to be knit out of my mohair! In my second look… the skirt is going to be as shown, but dyed to match my color story and with a different waste band. Her top is not going to be as shown either… it will be a hand knit tank top with a shawl (as shown but bigger)!

Calvin Finch: Blackberries
Published 3:50 pm, Friday, February 22, 2013
Blackberries are one fruit you can grow without having to spray for pests.
Most area nurseries have the plants blackberries in 1-gallon containers for transplanting, or they can be purchased as bare-root plant. Blackberries bear fruit in May and June on vines that grow well in raised beds or even in native soils.
Growing blackberries isn't without challenges. The stems are thorny, and old stems should be removed each year after the fruit is harvested. Fruit is produced on new wood. If the old stems are not removed, the bed can become a tangled mess, making it unpleasant to harvest the fruit.
A newer variety, Natchez, avoids the thorn variety without sacrificing fruit quantity of flavor. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension recently gave Natchez the Texas Superstar distinction for its proven hardiness throughout the state.
Other thornless varieties such as Navaho and Arapaho are later blooming and, in my experience, seem to decline after a few years in our hot summers.
Though they are not thornless, the varieties Brazos and Roseborough have done well in our area for years. A relatively new variety, Kiowa, has outperformed Brazos and Roseborough in test trials. Any of the three selections will perform well.
Lifestyle Channel
Blackberries also spread aggressively. Control the spread by removing stems that appear outside the designated bed.

Injury-plagued Yankees fall to Red Sox
Kuroda forced out in second inning after bruising right middle finger
NEW YORK -- The last thing the injury-plagued Yankees need right now is another scare, but that was exactly what they received when starter Hiroki Kuroda was forced to exit in the second inning after taking a line drive off his pitching hand.
Fortunately for the Yankees, they learned that Kuroda had suffered just a bruised middle finger. That was about the only positive news of the night for the Yanks, as they never recovered from the early blow and suffered a 7-4 loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.
"It's definitely not what we want to see," said outfielder Vernon Wells, who hit a three-run homer. "I think there's enough injuries going around where we don't need that to happen. Hopefully he's OK. We need to get back out and play better baseball tomorrow."
While Kuroda was putting the Yanks' fears to rest by submitting to an X-ray and a CT scan, reliever Cody Eppley was charged with four runs in 1 1/3 innings of work before Adam Warren restored order, limiting Boston to a run over 5 1/3 innings of long relief.
"It's definitely a game you probably wouldn't expect to come in, with Kuroda pitching," Warren said. "I've been talking to these guys a little bit, just picking their brains [to] stay mentally ready all the time. You never know what's going to happen in that situation."
Kuroda had allowed a first-inning RBI single to Jarrod Saltalamacchia and was opening work in the second inning when Shane Victorino torched a line drive up the middle. Kuroda stuck his hand up and made contact with a glancing blow as the ball sailed into center field.
After a brief examination, Kuroda stayed in the game, but he could not find his command, issuing a walk and hitting two batters to force home Boston's second run.
"I thought I was going to continue to pitch," Kuroda said through an interpreter. "But against the lefties, I wasn't able to make the pitches, so I felt like I couldn't go anymore."
"We knew it wasn't him; at that point, he wasn't on," catcher Chris Stewart said. "It was time to get him out of there."
Manager Joe Girardi said that the Yankees will not need to make a roster move for Thursday's game, even though Warren threw 86 pitches in relief. He lauded the work turned in by the 25-year-old, who made one start for the Yankees last season and lasted just 2 1/3 innings.
"He did a tremendous job," Girardi said. "He saved our bullpen with the amount of innings he was able to give us today. I thought he threw the ball extremely well and mixed his pitches."
Kuroda said that it is too soon to know if he will need to miss his next start. The righty will throw a bullpen session on Friday, but he is relieved that there was no fracture on his fingertip.
"No swelling. The skin was good," Kuroda said. "The [test] result was good, so we'll see how it goes. I'll talk to the doctor tomorrow and talk about the next outing."
Back on the field, Victorino and Jackie Bradley Jr. added RBI singles off Eppley in the third inning, and Jacoby Ellsbury greeted Warren with a two-run single to center field.
That was plenty of support for Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz, who limited the Yankees to one run -- Travis Hafner's fourth-inning homer, his first in pinstripes -- over seven innings.
"It's always good to get off on the right foot," Buchholz said. "First start of the year, get it out of the way, especially this place pitching against this team. It's never an easy task coming in here and throwing to these guys."
Buchholz scattered six hits, walking two and striking out four, as the Red Sox pocketed the first two games of the season. The Yankees started 0-3 last season.
"It's not unusual to lose two games in a row," Girardi said. "It's somewhat glaring when it's the first two games. We didn't start out too well last year either and things turned out OK. I thought we swung the bats really well tonight, even better than the four runs that we had. I thought we squared some balls up, so I felt good about that."
Dustin Pedroia knocked home Ellsbury with the seventh Red Sox run in the sixth inning, and Wells closed the deficit with his first homer in a Yankees uniform, a three-run shot in the eighth off Sox reliever Alfredo Aceves.
"You never want to lose games," Wells said. "Obviously they're going to come, but we haven't played good enough baseball to win. That's the bottom line. We haven't clicked in all three phases of the game. It's just a matter of time before we do. It'd be nice for it to happen sooner than later."

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
Bullying is when a person or a group repeatedly and intentionally uses or abuse their power to intimidate, hurt, oppress or damage someone else. It can be covert or cyber-based (happening online through social networks or even through mobile phones). Bullying can be physical or emotional.
According to the National Centre Against Bullying, there are five different kinds of bullying behaviour. They are:
1. Physical bullying: when physical actions such as hitting, poking, tripping or pushing, are used to hurt and intimidate. Repeatedly and intentionally damaging someone's belongings is also physical bullying, says the centre.
2. Verbal bullying: involves the use of negative words, like name calling, insults, homophobic or racist slurs, or words used to intentionally upset someone.
3. Social bullying: when lies, the spreading of rumours or nasty pranks are used. This includes repeated mimicking and deliberate exclusion.
4. Psychological bullying: involves the repeated and intentional use of words or actions which can cause psychological harm. Examples include intimidation, manipulation and stalking.
5. Cyber bullying: this is the big one at the moment and is when technology is used to verbally, socially or psychologically bully. It can occur in chat rooms, on social networking sites, through emails or on mobile phones.

Breast Augmentation Chase
As women become conscious about how they look with advancing age, they look for various ways to enhance their figure. To start off with, breasts are one of the vital assets a woman has that makes her feel good. However, the breasts may lose volume after pregnancy or they might not have developed fully. This might give a woman complex about her looks. For such women, breast augmentation has come as a savior. It is a surgical procedure that tries to achieve fuller breasts with the help of implants. The procedure may also be performed in cases where a woman has asymmetrical breasts, require breast reconstruction or have got sagged. It is important that the procedure is done for self only and not to impress anybody else.
Making The Decision For Breast Enlargement
As discussed above, the surgery is carried out using breast augmentation that may be made of either saline or silicone. Though both the implants are made of silicone shells the difference is in the filler used. In a saline implant, the filler used is sterile salt water (saline) whereas in silicone implant, the filler used is plastic gel (silicone). The saline implant is usually the preferred one even though silicone implants are said to be more realistic. The reason for this is the silicone implants are risky as in case the shell gets ruptured the filler liquid is not absorbed by the body. On the other hand, if a saline implant gets ruptured the filler liquid gets absorbed by the body.
Is Breast Enhancement for You?
FDA has set some guidelines for who can be considered suitable for the augmentation surgery. According to it, a woman should be of at least 18 years to get saline breast implants and 22 years to get silicone implants. During consultation, the patient is asked to stop certain medications for few days or few weeks before surgery. Usually, performed on an outpatient basis, it may sometime require overnight stay. The procedure involves administering anesthesia to the patient that may relieve them of pain. Depending on the technique being used, incisions are made under the breast, under the arm or around the nipple.
The after surgery care requires the patient to wear a surgical bra. They are also advised to avoid excess activity and heavy lifting for a period of up to 6 weeks. In case of discomfort, over-the-counter pain medications may also be given. Even though it is a cosmetic procedure, breast augmentation carries a risk of breast pain, scarring, bleeding, infection, etc.
To know more about breast augmentation, you are advised to go to WebMD.

FRIENDS of tragic teenager Aleysha Rothwell came together again tonight to walk in her memory.
About 100 people met at the Home Bargains store in Breightmet for the second time in a week — as they aim to keep Aleysha's memory alive and raise money for a headstone.
The group has already raised about £1,300 and armed with donation buckets they set off on a route to the Home Bargains shop in Bury, before walking around Bury and Ainsworth.
Friend Morgan Pritchard, aged 14, who helped to organised the vigil, said: "The aim is to raise between three and four thousand so we can buy a headstone that Aleysha deserves and so far people have been really generous."
Taking part in the walk was Aleysha's girlfriend, Beth Lees, who said she was really pleased with the amount of people who came out.
She said: "We don't want this to die down - we need to keep her name in people's minds.
"It still feels like a bad dream — we want to spend the money on something that she deserves — I would buy the moon if I could."
The crowd wore T-shirts with messages dedicated to Aleysha printed on them and many of them held photographs of the 16-year old as they walked.
There were youngsters dressed in onesies and in fancy dress to represent the fun person that they said Aleysha was.
Aleysha was 16 when she died at her home in Breightmet, where she lived with her foster mother Beverley Sharples.
Her mother, Gaynor Rothwell, attended the walk and said the efforts of Aleysha's friends were "mind-blowing".
She added: "What they have done is incredible and just shows how loved she was."

Emphasizing potential, Indians option Bauer
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- As a former player, Indians manager Terry Francona understands that the day of a demotion is not always the best time for a detailed conversation -- but it was just that Monday morning for prospect Trevor Bauer.
Francona and general manager Chris Antonetti told Bauer he was optioned to Triple-A Columbus, taking the young right-hander out of the mix for Cleveland's final rotation spot. Bauer took the news in stride and had a productive discussion with the manager and GM.
"We kind of talked to Trevor at length this morning," Francona said. "We asked him, 'Are you ready to listen?' He said, 'Yeah.' He's a pretty thoughtful guy. We talked to him at length and tried to get him to understand where we view him."
With the 23-year-old Bauer heading back to the Minors, only right-handers Carlos Carrasco and Josh Tomlin are left in the Indians' rotation battle. Veteran Aaron Harang, who was told Sunday that he would not make the team, opted out of his Minor League contract on Monday and joined the Braves as a free agent.
The fact that Bauer remained in the running until Monday was a testament to the work he put in over the winter. Through last season and into the offseason, Bauer overhauled the mechanics of his delivery. In 16 innings between Cactus League games and Minor League games this spring, the pitcher allowed 13 runs (12 earned) on 18 hits with 18 strikeouts against eight walks.
Cleveland acquired Bauer from the D-backs in the nine-player, three-team deal that also involved the Reds in December 2012.
"It was a high-profile trade," Francona said. He goes through mechanical changes because of an injury and is trying to get back to where he was, had a lot of hiccups last year. He comes into camp really thinking he's ready to go, because he worked so hard, and had a few more hiccups. The last two weeks, he has done everything in his power that shows us that his path is coming.
"And when it gets here, again, we want this kid to come here and stay here. So, finding consistency in what he does is very important. We have a lot of confidence in the fact that he will do that."
Antonetti echoed Francona's remarks.
"The one thing we're so encouraged about," Antonetti said, "is right now Trevor is far closer to being a very successful Major League pitcher than he was six months ago and than he was two weeks ago even. He's on that right path."

If you look at the test page for my restyled home page:
you will see a horizontal bronze rectangle just under the top three pictures.

High Style Vintage Clothing
& 18th Century Costume

The code was simply a
 styled with the rule "bronze", which is
When I use width of 100% (or no width), the bronze rectangle extends beyond the pictures to the right.
But using less than 100% will cause problems when the browser makes text and pictures large enough, in which case the bronze rectangle obvious is shorter by 1.5% than the parent image box.
How should I style "bronze" to make it exatly fit the above pictures?
The URL to the web page returns a 404 error. If you can post a working link to your page, we'll be glad to look at it.
Ron,Since I solved most of the problems by myself, I took down the trial page and went live athttp://www.vintagetextile.com/
The remaining minor issue has to do with the spaces (margins) between) the three pictures. I use a right and left margin of 2% as you can see from the relevant code and styles. I would like to use smaller right and left margins for the left and right pictures (respectively), e.g., about 1.3% but run into this problem: if margins are set to anything other than 2%, then the bronze bar (bottom border of the
) no longer exactly matches the width of the
, especially when user changes browser's font-size.

High Style Vintage Clothing
& 18th Century Costume

html {height: 100%; padding-bottom: 1px; }body {width: 88%; max-width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; border:0; color:#000; background-color:#fff; font: 1em/1.2 Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; }.picleft{border:0;margin-right:2%;}.picright{border:0;margin-left:2%;}
img { max-width: 100%;border:none; height: auto !important; }.center img.tall { width: 100%; max-width: 400px; height: auto; }.images span { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; }.images .tall { float: left; width: 32%; max-width: 400px; height: auto; }.images.tall + img + img {float: right;}img.tall {width:400px;height:585px;}img.wide {width:600px;height:500px;}
Try something like this. Works in FireFox, but test thoroughly. Instead of floating all 3 images to the left....
.images span {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
.images .tall {
[s]float:left;[/s]
height: auto;
max-width: 400px;
vertical-align: top;
width: 32%;
.picleft {
border: 0 none;
[s]margin-right: 2%;[/s]
middle image {
float:none; /* not really needed */
.picright {
border: 0 none;
[s]margin-left: 2%;[/s]
PS: if you need to post code, please click the link at the bottom of my post and read our guidelines. Basically, they ask that posters place their code between "code" tags. You can click the "#" symbol in the message toolbar and they will appear.
Ron, Thanks. I will try this tomorrow. As I understand the instructions, I am allowed to post styles from my style sheet as is. For code, I have to surround my HTML code sample with "
". Is that right? I will try to avoid using HTML code in this forum in the future, although that is very difficult.
Ron,I made the changes you suggested and in addition got rid of the style images.tall + img + img {float: right;}However, the page now seems to have the same 2% spacing between images. That is weird. In any case, I want to be able to adjust the spacing between the pictures. I don't see how I could adjust the spacing between the pictures with your styles.
Change the width of the images from 32% to 33% or somewhere in between.
.images .tall {
height: auto;
max-width: 400px;
vertical-align: top;
width: 32%;
I'm not sure what your take on my request was, but you are free to post HTML and CSS within your message. We just request that the code (HTML and/or CSS) be surrounded by [noparse]
[/noparse] tags so your code appears in a "code" box with scroll bars and retains its formatting.
With one click, that hash symbol (#) in the reply toolbar will generate the "code" tags for you.
These are lines 41 through the end of your home.css file.
/* .picleft{border:0;margin-right:2%;}
.picright{border:0;margin-left:2%;} /* */
.book1 img{border:0;vertical-align:bottom;}
p.largecat a#burn {color:#00f;background-color:#fff;text-decoration:underline}
img {
height:auto !important;
.center img.tall {
.images span {
text-align:center;
.images .tall {
/* float:left; /* */
width:33%;
border:0 none;
vertical-align:top;
.images .picleft {
.images .picright {
img.tall {
img.wide {
#bottomBorder {
border-bottom:#fc6 solid 1em;
And this is how it looks to me in FireFox after changing the image width from 32% to 33%:
Ron,Thanks for your masterful CSS work. I have increased the width of each picture to 32.4%, getting the spacing just right.You have done such a fantastic job that I'm tempted to post my next scalable design problem:http://www.vintagetextile.com/1940s_to_designer.htmThese category pages use a table design. They do not scale well to tablets, let alone phones. My detail pages, e.g., http://www.vintagetextile.com/new_page_399.htmand Home Page (thanks to you!) now scale well.
As you already know, the tables will have to go. I think you need to consider a different layout, too. The present layout imposes awkward dead spaces. In a new layout the images can be aligned down one edge or alternated to opposite edges. If the details are allowed to start at the top of each block, then longer details can wrap beneath the image. On narrow devices, the details can be positioned beneath each image, or the thumbs can be scaled smaller and the text still allowed to wrap. The text in the details can be vertically centered for wider screens. You may also consider just showing a screen full of images which the user can click to show the details.
Give it some thought and start a new thread with your requirements.
cma6. This test page is my take on your 1940s_to_designer page. It's the best I could do without some discussion about your tastes in page design.
At > 900px, it looks like your original.
As the page narrows, it will go through 3 media queries, 900px 700px, and 520px, to adjust the content before reaching the smallest width. It seems to work in FF, Chrome and Opera. I did not test it in IE. It will not work in IE8 without adding a JS script to accommodate media queries. Like I said, this is just a hack to help you decide and describe what you want.

Take Me Outdoors Houston Set For Oct. 2 At Discovery Green
Houston's 2nd annual Free, Family-Oriented Festival of the Outdoors
HOUSTON —At a time when people in big cities are becoming increasingly disconnected from the world of nature and the outdoors, Take Me Outdoors Houston on Oct. 2 at Discovery Green will offer Houston's 2nd annual free, family-oriented festival of the outdoors.
Exhibitors will provide hands-on activities, booths and opportunities to engage audiences who haven't ever or don't often get exposure to the great outdoors – especially the resources located right in Houston's big backyard.
"By introducing Texans, especially urban adults and kids, to outdoor recreation, our woods and waters and natural places become more relevant and important to them," said Heidi Rao, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hunter education specialist in Houston. "We believe recreation leads to conservation. If they're out there enjoying the natural world, they come to care about it and finally to care for it."
Take Me Outdoors Houston will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sat. Oct. 2 at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park created by a public/private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy. The park's mission is to provide a beautiful, urban green space in the heart of Houston that serves as a village green for the city. It is located across Avenida de las Americas from the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Hilton Americas Hotel, sitting between the Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park. Since the park opened in April 2008, it has welcomed more than 1 million visitors and hosted more than 800 public and private events.
Take Me Outdoors Houston will consist of a variety of exhibitors clustered in topical zones.
The Nature & Environmental Zone will include the TPWD State Parks Division, TPWD Texas Outdoor Family Program, Houston Zoo & Zoomobile, Katy Prairie Conservancy, Armand Bayou Nature Center, Jesse Jones Park and Nature Center, Houston Sierra Club, Houston Audubon Society, Wetlands Center and Baytown Nature Center, Texas Coastal Watershed Program, Student Conservation Association, Friends of Sheldon Lake State Park, and 4-H.
The Hunting & Wildlife Conservation Zone will include the TPWD Hunter Education Program, TPWD Wildlife Division, Houston Gulf Coast Safari Club International, and Laser Shot Shooting Simulator.
The Fishing & Aquatic Conservation Zone will include the TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division, Buffalo Bayou Partnership, and Landry's Downtown Aquarium in Houston.
There will also be two educational demonstrations of live hawks and other raptors in flight by master falconer John Karger of "Last Chance Forever – the Bird of Prey Conservancy" based in San Antonio, sponsored by Houston Gulf Coast SCI.
The Houston Grand Opera will also present the "Butterfly Migration" on stage for two shows.

Three Charleston teenagers were arrested Friday night in the armed robbery of a Kanawha City grocery store, in which a store clerk was shot and seriously wounded.
John Proctor III, 19, is charged with first-degree robbery and malicious wounding. Ricky Patterson, 18, and a 17-year-old male identified only as "L.L." were charged with first-degree robbery. The three were arraigned late Friday night by Kanawha County Magistrate Mike Sisson.
Police issued warrants Friday for two other Charleston residents, Telisa McCauley and Alisyn Lee Proctor, John Proctor's sister. Police believe the two women drove the getaway car in Thursday's robbery.
Police said all five people charged in the robbery are related.
John Proctor's shoulders were drooped and he had his head down during much of his arraignment Friday night.
He allegedly shot Shawna Sampson, a clerk at the Foodland in Kanawha City, in the chest when she entered the store's office, where police say he and the 17-year-old had gotten into the safe.
Sampson, a 44-year-old Winifred resident, was in serious but stable condition late Friday afternoon.
L.L.'s arraignment was closed. His family members could be seen crying while leaving magistrate court.
Patterson allegedly went into the Foodland before the robbery to make sure the safe was still open and that no police officers were in the store. He was paid $30 for his role, police said.
Both he and Proctor could now could face 10 years or more in a state correctional facility.
The police were able to solve the case after Sampson identified L.L. as a regular at the Foodland store in Chesapeake, where she used to work.
A friend of L.L. and Proctor, identified as "B.W.," admitted to police that he also was paid $30 to scope out the scene with Patterson before the robbery.
Charleston Police Chief of Detectives Lt. Steve Cooper said B.W. also faces robbery charges.
The juvenile referred to as L.L. was picked up for questioning and told police what happened, they said.
Proctor and L.L. allegedly burst into the store at about 10:15 p.m., ordered customers and employees to get down on the floor and demanded money, according to the criminal complaint. Proctor carried a pistol, while L.L. had a pellet gun, police say.
L.L. allegedly told police that McCauley and Alisyn Lee Proctor were paid $3,000 each to act as getaway drivers and were waiting a few blocks away in a PT Cruiser.
The group stayed in a Super 8 motel in Barboursville Thursday night.
Joline McBrayer has worked at the Kanawha City Foodland as a cake decorator for 16 years.
"I found out [about the robbery and shooting] this morning when I came into work," McBrayer said Friday. "I couldn't get over it. I can't believe this happened."
She said Friday that she had talked to Sampson about Sampson's son, who was supposed to start working at Foodland. The two shared health concerns about diabetics, and about life in general.
"You never think it's going to happen at your store," McBrayer said. "I'll be looking around before I come in here."
She plans to call Sampson once her co-worker is well enough to take phone calls.
"I've been praying for her all morning," McBrayer said. "I'll tell her to take your time, get well and come back to us."
Elizabeth Lambros, 83, of Kanawha City, has shopped at Foodland for 25 years. She found out about Thursday night's robbery while doing her grocery shopping Friday morning and felt cautious.
"That's a shame," Lambros said on Friday, before the arrests. "I have a feeling I'll give [Foodland] a little space until we know who did it and why."
Mim Abernethy has been a loyal Foodland shopper for years. She was buying groceries for a family meal Friday night with her daughter, her daughter's husband and her grandson.
"I just told the girls at the register I was glad they're all right," Abernethy said. "I feel like I know them. They have been working here so long — you see them every week — I was just concerned about them."
"On behalf of my family, and our extended Foodland family, our thoughts and prayers are with Shawna, who was the victim of a senseless act, as well as her family and friends," the store's owner, Rick Joseph, said in a prepared statement.
Staff writers Rusty Marks, Caitlin Cook and Rachel Molenda contributed to this report. Reach Erin Beck at email@example.com or 304-348-5163.

Seems like he is finally coming along to the role we all new/hoped he would. Just hate to see that diminish when Granger returns. Nothing against Danny at all, but I think we all can agree to liking this PG24 we have been seeing as of late Discuss..

The Dragon SlayerLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Victor the Viking lived in a distant land inhabited by dragons and sea monsters.
The dragon population later became a threat to the kingdom. The King, who married Victor's sister and made her his queen, announced a contest. The warrior who could kill the most number of dragons from sunrise to sunset of next Sunday would be declared winner and marry the King's only daughter.
On the eve of the contest, Gringo the Gorgeous, first born of and heir to the King, slept early to conserve his energy with his sharpened ax beside him.
Victor the Viking, who almost forgot his ax and shield, rode his black gelding into the forbidden forest and camped there overnight to gain a headstart.
Abner the Able spent the night in his house sharpening his spatha and polishing his bronze shield. he had his squire prepare his stallion for the contest.
Brav the Bold woke up very late the morning of the contest and had to ride his horse like crazy to catch up with the others.
Igor the Terrible, the only warrior who used two weapons was able to kill 4 dragons with his ax and 5 dragons with his spear.
At the wedding dinner hosted by the king later that evening, the winner, who killed more than a half dozen dragons with his ax, and his proud parents were honored by the King.
The winner's horse was castrated and retired from duty. The winner's bronze shield was permanently displayed in the King's Hall.
Who won the contest?
AnswerBrav the Bold won the contest. (by process of elimination)
Gringo the Gorgeous, first born of the king, could not be the winner because the winner was not the king's son. The winner and his parents were honored by the King.
Abner the Able, whose only weapon was a spatha( a sword) could not be the winner because the winner used an ax to kill dragons. Only Igor used two weapons.
Igor the Terrible, who killed only 4 dragons with his ax (and 5 dragons with his spear), could not be the winner because the winner killed more than a half dozen dragons with his ax.
Victor the Viking, whose horse was a gelding(castrated horse), could not be the winner because the winner's horse was castrated after the contest.
Brav the Bold must have killed at least 10 dragons because Igor killed a total of 9. More than a half dozen means a number greater than 6, including 10.

The interesting thing about Apple (AAPL) right now is that Mr. Market has already decided to issue his verdict: Apple is now becoming the next bellwether blue-chip, capable of generating tons of cash flow without the ability to reinvest it back at similar rates of return.
While I am not an Apple shareholder -- not yet anyway -- it seems to me that the market has overreacted of late. Apple, dare I say, now looks more like a value stock with attractive growth prospects.
Apple's quote at 10x earnings -- which, if you can believe, is a 33% discount to Microsoft's (MSFT) earnings multiple -- is indicative of just how a much of a cult stock Apple has become. Until the selloff, most Apple owners were investors at any cost. Apple was the must-own stock, irrelevant of price or valuation. In fact, according to The Wall Street Journal, large-cap investment funds had allocated 7% of assets to Apple before its current selloff.
Apple is currently falling victim to investor bias. Investors look at Dell (DELL), Cisco (CSCO) and, to a lesser extent, Research In Motion (RIMM), and conclude from Apple's "lackluster" quarter that this the beginning of the end of one the great growth stories. They draw that same conclusion as they look to Microsoft and see that it can only generate 40% on equity on the small portion of its capital that it allocates to Windows. Investors also continue to hone in on the iPhone as the only possible way that Apple can have a bright future.
Investors should consider the following. Apple currently has an installed base of about 200 million customers, with an approximate market share of 20% of the global smartphone market. That means the world has an installed base of 1 billion smartphones -- which leaves market potential of about 5 billion people who are currently using mobile phones other than smartphones. That's why I recently opined that Apple would give some margin points by making a cheaper iPhone in order to capture a big chunk of this population of five billion -- a move that could be enormously profitable.
Also, Apple's 200 million customers are loyalists. Find me an iPad owner, and it's a near certainty that, if this person has a smartphone, it's an iPhone. I still hold to my view that the iPad will become another iPhone-like home run, as iPad sales continue to grow vigorously.
More intriguing is the potential market for new Apple products. I know that I was an iPhone user before the iPad was released, and when it came time to buy a tablet, it wasn't even a question that it would be an iPad. We know that Samsung is Apple's nemesis. We also know that Samsung is a heavy hitter in the television market. Prior to his death, Steve Jobs talked about an Apple television -- not the existent software part, but the actual television. At the outset, such a product would already have an installed customer base of more than 200 million who would be very likely to purchase an Apple product for their next TV purchase.
In the end, as it always is for us value folk, it's all about the price-value relationship. At $450 a share, or $450 billion, you are getting a company with currently about $1 billion a week in cash flow. Apple's current enterprise value of $390 billion implies that it is now trading for around 9x EV/FCF. That's certainly a value multiple in my book, and it's being assigned to a company that I believe has not stopped growing -- not by a long shot.

Kipnis finding success with shorter swing
CLEVELAND -- A shorter swing has helped Jason Kipnis dig himself out of his early-season slump. Recently, the Indians second baseman has not only been one of the most potent bats in Cleveland's lineup, but also one of the top hitters in baseball.
Kipnis has been an extra-base hit machine of late, entering Friday's game with the Mariners with a dozen such hits over his past 13 games, dating back to May 3. The second baseman's 12 extra-base hits were the most for any hitter in the Major Leagues over that span.
"I started squaring up the ball more," Kipnis said. "When you put the ball in play a lot more and start squaring it up, a lot more things happen. I started driving it to the gaps and down the lines and, when that happens, it leads to extra-base hits when you come out of the box fast."
In Wednesday's road win over the Phillies, Kipnis went 3-for-4 with one home run, two doubles, three RBIs and one walk. In the process, he became the first Indians second baseman to have at least three extra-base hits, three RBIs and a walk in a game since Joe Gordon accomplished the feat in 1949.
Over his past 13 games heading into Friday's action, Kipnis had hit .303 (16-for-53) with a .356 on-base percentage, a .755 slugging percentage and a 1.111 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. His slugging percentage was the third-highest mark in the Majors in that stretch, and his 40 total bases ranked second in baseball (Texas' Mitch Moreland had 43, dating back to May 3).
During that time period, Kipnis compiled five homers, five doubles, two triples, two stolen bases, 16 RBIs and 11 runs scored. It has been a drastic turnaround for Kipnis, who posted a .189/.265/.270/.535 slash line over his first 18 games, during which he had one home run, three doubles and four RBIs.
"We shortened the swing. We cleaned up the swing," Kipnis said. "That's all. Pretty much the big adjustment that we made was just trying to get the whip action back in it and just short to the ball. So, instead of fouling off pitches that I usually put in play, I'm driving it, and the extra bases are coming."
On Friday, Kipnis continued his recent trend, launching a three-run, walk-off home run in the 10th inning to hand the Indians a 6-3 win against the Mariners.

|This route is a must do with really fun moves but take care getting to the second clip as it's pretty dicey with awkward moves and the fall there has the potential to be nasty. I've seen many people (including myself) lead many of the 10's in the corridor and take a fall trying to get the second clip. Easy cruising terrain above and one of the longest in the corridor awaits!

|Brutal start on this route. I ended up down climbing off of it because I couldn't make it past the second bolt. I saw a guy climbing a 5.11 struggle with the start of this route. The rest of it looked fun though. Maybe if you stick clipped the first two bolts.

My first (and only) time up this route, I nearly broke my jaw on the starting ledge when I popped at the crux (before I clipped the second bolt). Literally missed it by an inch.
Stick clip the second bolt on this route and its worth doing, otherwise, avoid it.

The start would seem lame if you couldn't do it.
If you primarily climb trad, this will be one of your favorite routes in the corridor. I thought it was spectacular. Most fun I've ever had on a sport route, but that's because the tricky stemming required to pass the low crux wasn't just another jug haul. I can definitely see where sport climbers would hate this. Not many climbing gyms prepare you for the opening moves. Reasonably well protected and fun!

|I am not a strong 5.9 leader but I enjoyed the start and so did a friend of mine. We're both 5'4"ish. I have heard my taller male friends say that they struggled and fell at the start, so that opening sequence may just lend itself well to short flexible people for whatever reason.

Flashed it :] Super fun. The beginning is 5.9 and the second half is 5.6 climbing.. This was my first experience with relatively spaced out bolts and that huge slab jutting into the route under me made me feel a tad nervous about the potential fall.
I, too, am short at 5'2" and didn't remember the start being too tough.

|A hold was chipped into the rock near the first bolt, thus making this route a lot easier. I always thought this route was a sandbag and now I feel it truly is a 5.9 pitch. It's sad to see the rock marred in this way and all climbers should consider this behavior unacceptable.

I went up to Fundamentals to view the new basketball links Hicks has put up. Check them out! As Pacer fans we are blessed to have someone like Hicks as a fellow fan! This site Rocks! Thank you Hicks!
While there I clicked on, Pacers.com "Bird's Eye View" to see if there were any new Bird articles. There wasn't, but in reading a question and answer session I had read before I came on to a statement by Bird that will most assuredly impact the Pacers draft. In answer to the 5th question down he says in part,
A. Id like to get a team that runs a little more. I think basketball has gotten a little boring throughout the league because of half court offenses and coaches calling the plays. I would like to have an up-tempo team that gets out and moves the basketball from inside-out around the perimeter so guys will have better looks at the basket. My job is to try to build a team that the fans like and also win games.
We no doubt discussed the whole article here on the digest when the article first came out, but it occurred to me that his view as expressed here will impact who he drafts and trades for.
There were reports he offered Artest for Peja last year, so it appears he's willing to trade Artest if he can get a good player that can run. Joe Johnson, and Ray Allen, can certainly run. So can Michael Redd, but I doubt Bird would want to play against Artest more than twice a year, and Redd's in our division.
I'm thinking Foster and either Jackson/Artest gets offered to Phoenix for Joe Johnson in some sort of package. Of course that trade would probably work better salary wise for Shawn Marion, someone else who can run.
The more I think about it the more I think Phoenix would be a likely trade partner especially if Foster and Marion were part of the trade. With Foster playing center they could move Amare Stoudemire to his natural position of power forward which is where Marion is now playing. Phoenix wouldn't miss Marion.
I'll go look at the numbers and see what trades would work.

WIXOM, Mich. - Police from several jurisdictions met Wednesday to update the public on the search for a roadway shooter.
Since Oct. 16, police say 24 incidents involving shots fired at cars or people were reported in Oakland, Ingham, Livingston and Shiawassee counties.
Uncut: Police update roadway shootings investigation
More than 100 full-time investigators are working to find the suspect.
Investigators say they received more than 2,000 tips since the reward for information leading to an arrest of the shooter was raised to $102,000.
Police say approximately 1,300 tips came in after the FBI and ATF increased the reward.
Police are not ruling out the possibility that more than one person may be involved in the shootings and they are stepping up patrols for Halloween.
Despite fears that I-96 is not safe, police say only three of the reported incidents occurred there.
The task force reminded citizens to remain vigilant and reporting information to 800-SPEAK-UP.
The Livingston County Sheriff's Office says an incident Wednesday morning on I-96 was a road rage case and not a shooting.

Another Look
Pitchers Who Fizzled
It was a week ago that Stephen Strasburg, who is no relation to Steven Spielberg even though some say he has to be an extraterrestrial, made his major-league pitching debut. If a Hall of Fame vote had been held the morning after he zapped the Pirates with 14 strikeouts and nary a walk, the only real blemish coming when Delwyn Young hit a changeup for a home run, Strasburg would have been our first unanimous Hall of Famer.
But allow a warning to be issued here. As Lee Corso of football fame would say, "Not so fast, my friend." See, we've been there before.
Not to belittle a pitcher with a 100-mph fastball with as good a curveball to come into the major leagues since Bert Blyleven, pinpoint control and an unflappable disposition, but time and time alone will be the judge of Strasburg's greatness. Consider briefly what occurred in 1953 and 1954, seasons when we were treated to a host of shooting stars across our horizon who wound up going down in flames.
It began on May 6, 1953, when Alva Lee "Bobo" Holloman made his major-league debut for the St. Louis Browns. A rather ordinary pitcher at best, Holloman was a $10,000 acquisition by owner Bill Veeck from the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs. Hollomon had been used in relief before he got his first start that rainy night in St. Louis, where just 2,477 fans showed up. Who knew that Holloman would throw a 6-0 no-hitter, a rather unimpressive one at that, leading Veeck to write the following in his autobiography, Veeck As In Wreck:
Veeck wanted to send Holloman back to Syracuse but knew there was money to be made, saying "I don't think it's really wise to send a man back to the minor leagues right after he's become immortal… It looks as if you're punishing him for throwing a no-hitter." So it was that Holloman finished out a 3-7 year—his only big-league season—with a 5.23 earned run average.
In early July of 1953, another pitcher burst on the scene spectacularly. That was Al Worthington of the New York Giants, who opened with two-hit, 6-0 shutout of the Philadelphia Phillies at the Polo Grounds, then followed that up with a 6-0, four-hit, seven-strikeout performance against the Brooklyn Dodgers in Ebbetts Field against a lineup that included Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges.
Worthington, 24, could not, of course, keep pace and finished with a 4-8 record, following that up with 0-2, 7-14 and 8-11 years before finally having a winning season. He did, however, become one of the best early closers in the mid-1960s for the Twins.
Perhaps the most spectacular pitching debut, and the one which raises the red flag, was by a left-handed flamethrower named Karl Spooner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who was called by no less a player than future Hall of Famer Campanella "the greatest young pitcher I've ever seen" after he debuted with consecutive shutouts. Spooner struck out 15 New York Giants in his debut, 12 Pirates in his second game and allowed only seven hits combined with no runs.
Spooner's career died along with his left arm, his major-league stay running form Sept. 22, 1954-Oct. 3, 1955. After those two victories, Spooner went 8-6 with a 3.65 ERA and two saves and made his final appearance in the big leagues as the starter of the third game of the 1955 World Series. His was a sad tale, injuring his arm so severely that he never could recapture his magical moment.
Spooner, who died at age 53, would often have the tragedy of the course his career followed brought up to him, but he would answer, "I've always got those two big ones on my record. They can never take those away from me."
Perhaps the cruelest of all was the career course Wayne Simpson took after a spectacular debut with the 1970 Cincinnati Reds, who were just becoming the Big Red Machine. Simpson was a hard-throwing right hander who stood 6-foot-3, weighed 220 pounds and had a reputation for being wild, compounded with troubled vision, which only helped as he went out in his hometown of Los Angeles on April 9 to face the Dodgers.
The Reds, who had won their first three games of the season and would go on to win 70 of their first 100, were facing Don Sutton, a Hall of Fame pitcher, making it a difficult debut for Simpson. If Simpson was nervous, he certainly didn't show it as he made fast work of the Dodgers, completing a two-hit shutout in one hour and 58 minutes, throwing only 82 pitches and not walking a batter. Simpson retired the first 16 batters he faced before Ted Sizemore collected one of the two singles he would give up, along with one to Willie Crawford.
Simpson would be the most dominant pitcher in the National League, winning 13 of his first 14 decisions, the only loss coming when an error by Dave Concepcion let two runs score against St. Louis in a 3-1 defeat. Following that April 24 game Simpson's ERA was 0.58. On July 5, Simpson outdueled the Houston Astros' Denny Lemaster, 3-1, making his record 13-1 and his ERA 2.27.
Simpson would win two more games that year, his right arm injured but no one knowing just how bad it really was. Even his manager, Sparky Anderson, had said his problems were mental, not physical.
I recall one afternoon before he was supposed to pitch sitting alone with him in the clubhouse, Simpson in tears, saying: "They tell me there's nothing wrong with my arm and I can't throw the baseball across this room."
Shortly thereafter the shoulder hemorrhaged, the blood showing on the surface. It was the beginning of the end of Simpson's career, a tragic end that Ira Berkow of The New York Times revisited after his career had ended as he bounced around and won 36 and lost 31 with three different teams. Berkow would write:
With all this in mind, let us just let the career of Stephen Strasburg play out, for baseball has this way of choosing who it wants to bestow long-term greatness upon.

Tut. How could you ever write this article without mentioning The Bird? Two 11-inning complete games in his first five starts, five extra-inning CGs in his first year (one an 11-inning shutout) ... and we all know what happened after that.
Jun 15, 2010 08:45 AM
I haven't read one person saying 'put Strasberg in the Hall of Fame already!' Talk about a 'straw man' argument.

Sounds like most of these are guys who simply had great debuts and weren't thought of once in a generation prospects before they came up. It shouldn't be too hard to find some "can't miss" prospects who did, even if you raise the bar to those who at least made the majors.
Jun 15, 2010 09:44 AM
"...as good a curveball to come into the major leagues since Bert Blyleven..."
Jun 15, 2010 11:28 AM
I always thought the best curveball I'd ever seen was Dwight Gooden's in 1984-85. Strasburg's strikes me as the best I've seen since then.
Jun 15, 2010 21:33 PM
Whenever I read about these flashes in the pan, I'm reminded of Bill Rohr, whose debut for the 1967 Red Sox was an almost no-hitter at Yankee Stadium that was broken up by Elston Howard with two outs in the ninth, after Carl Yastrzemski made a spectacular catch on a ball hit by Tom Tresh leading off the ninth. I believe Rohr won two more games for the Sox before returning for good to the minors. He reappeared briefly with Detroit but never again came close to his flirtation with history. Ironically, Howard was dealt to Boston later that season and became part of their drive to the AL pennant.

Bonds 756 sign restored at AT&T Park
SAN FRANCISCO -- The mystery as to disappearance of the Barry Bonds 756 home run sign off a wall in the center-field bleachers at AT&T Park may never be solved.
The Giants aren't talking about it, other than to say it has been replaced.
"It's brand new, and improved," said a Giants spokesperson. "Everybody can relax now."
The Giants also had to replace a Barry Bonds disc, commerating one of his MVP awards, along the railing of the walkway surrounding the giant Coca-Cola bottle in the left-field Fan Lot.
