Childhood Memories of Dodger Stadium
If you follow the @Dodgers on Twitter, you know that on Tuesday we have contests where fans can win various prizes. Well, with #childhoodmemories trending we figured we'd ask for people's best memories from Dodger Stadium and the response was overwhelming.
Hundreds of great tweets in just half an hour and there would be no way to really re-tweet them all, so we figured we'd post some of them here and then tweet a link to this blog. And keep in mind, this is only from those who happened to be on Twitter at 5 p.m. PT.
If this is your first time to the Inside the Dodgers community, welcome. Lots of Dodger fans talking here each day so join in if you'd like.
If nothing else, today's tweets remind us just how special Dodger Stadium truly is to so many people, including:

Thanks for the new thread Josh!!!! Some great comments!!!
Let's hope kids will be able to enjoy Dodger Stadium for years and years to come, and that the Frank or MLB doesn't get in the way of that.
I'm looking forward to my favorite memory….the day Frank and Ned are gone….and, the franchise returns to the fine organization it once was!
Actually, I do have three favorites….Getting Orel & Sax's autographs…..the very first time I saw Dodger Stadium (it was a beautiful sight and, being treated by my daughters to Under the Lights (with Andre & Russell as hosts).
Oh yea!!! That was a pretty awesome night!!!
😉 😉
My first game at Dodger Stadium was Valenzuelas' No-Hitter!!!!
Box seat, season passes! Getting signed gear, watching the team kick some butt! I don't live there any more but I hear the "new" crowd are rowdy and rude! That seriously stinks! You fans need to take back the stadium and make it family friendly once again. GO DODGERS!!
Awesome post and I agree with you about taking back Dodger Stadium to what it once was.
My last game at DS was when Ethier hit a dinger off Lincecum to hand Lincecum his first loss against the Dodgers.
And I won't be back until both Frank and Ned are gone!
In 1971 I used to "forge" field box ticket stubs, buy a cheap seat, and ride the elevator down to nirvana. Must have gone to 40 games that season, only to have the Dodgers lose to the Gnats by one game. I remember Marichal beating the Pods on the final day to clinch. Then the Dodgers changed the design of their tickets, I was off to college, and that was that with forgery!
And just to reprise a bit of boredom relief from last season, here's a Carnac I dug up:
Answer: Catch-22.
Question: What do the Los Angeles Dodgers do with 100 pop flies.
The back to back HRs against Guidry in the series… or the guy sitting two rows down picking his nose for 9 innings – its hard to choose.
LOL….a boomer or a booger!
Well, with our present team, the nose picker is more exciting 8 or 9 times out of 10.
Loney should be so fortunate as to have that kind of percentage.
A high pop up behind home plate beaning a guy walking back to his seat with two beers in his hand, and him not spilling a drop.
Getting tickets with my dad and somehow ending up right in the middle of an entire section of Expo fans.
The third game in a row beating the Astros to tie for the division lead on the last day of the season.
Fan appreciation day making fun of my buddy for winning a Steve Garvey pop-up batter.
Autograph Sunday sitting in the last row of the second deck dissing Rick Monday's hitting to whomever I was with only to have Rick Monday walk past behind me.
Cute usherettes in straw hats.
Ahhh the good old days.
That was a great article!!! It sounds like the other 29 owners think like us fans. Let's just hope they stay strong in their conviction. Loved the mention of the "fan boycott." It at least means somebody is watching how the fans are reacting to this chaos.
Gosh dang walk off single by Ross. The Giants don't deserve a guy like him lol.
Carlos Santana was part of another walk-off celebration today too!! What could have been with him…..
Getting five bucks and going threw all the baseball cards to take a walk to Dodger stadium 4 hrs before the game with a few of the peeps …sitting in the home run sections asking players for their autographs!!
Bautista I thought this guy had a fluke season last year but this year he's not slowing down but it probably ino big deal for us lol. If we didn't have Uribe and actually by some miracle be in playoff contender, he probably traded for him for a top prospect in the minor.
1977 free entry with my father after 7th inning to outfield bleachers Against Atlanta then HANK ARRON blasts one right over my head just under the 76 sign left field that's a lifetime memory TRUE BLUE
My father and I went on family day withhis work group at Lockheed when I was 10 years old. I love Dodger Stadium because its so unique and if you sit anywhere except maybe the bleacher seats in the outfield you can hear the chatter from the players. We were sitting above the third base line directly above the dugout. We were in the upper level, but I remember the sound of the bay as it hit the ball, the noise the gloves made when the infielders were warming up before the game and inbetween innings. I had a Dodger Dog and soda, peanuts of course and the best time of my then short life. I was in awe of the enormity of the field, players, and the game. Last but not least, I remember the smells of fresh cut grass, hot dogs, cotton candy, and my dad and his coworkers beer. I will always cherish that day.
Goin to dodger stadium as a kid sitting at the pavillion with my dad hundreds of games I went with him but when the dodgers swept the cubs it felt as if they won it all never have I seen my father so happy I started to have tears of joy
In spite of all the fine memories, please DON'T GO to the Stadium on Tuesday or any other day until McCourt is GONE. Then everyone can celebrate the RID OF FRANK Day, or year, or decade.
Favorites, I have a few:
1 – Bobby Welch's strikeout of Reggie Jackson in Game 2 of the '78 Series. Does anyone else remember him also getting Thurman Munson the batter before? He came in with only one out, the tying run on 2nd and the go-ahead on first. What a moment!
2 – Joe Ferguson's bullet to Steve Yeager on Jackson's fly ball to right-center to nail Sal Bando in Game 1 of the '74 Series. It only ranks behind Welch's strikeout because we lost that game anyway. Otherwise, it would be #1A. It kind of bums me out that my best two moments were of Series that we eventually lost, but those are the only two Series games I got to see in person.
3 – Watching one of Willie Stargell's homers hit the RF Pavilion roof and bounce into the parking lot. I can't remember if it was the first one he hit out or the second, but I'm sure he hit it off of Andy Messersmith. Willie Crawford didn't move his feet in right. He just turned and watched it with the rest of us.
4 – Like a lot of people, watching games with my mom and dad, and keeping score in my Peterson Scoremaster. Sure wish I still had those things. I used to even keep score listening to the game on KFI for a few years. I had a Koufax 1-hitter in one of them. I was pretty superstitious for a while then. If a Dodger hit a homer, I wouldn't change my position in my seat for a long time. Only pain would make me change. All my dad would do is shake his head.
All beautiful memories from all. Like the person that said it, I never went as a kid so I'be been making up for loss time.
OK, that was a positive post. Back to reality.
My favorite line in the story that kahli posted up above: "One major league owner referred to it as a "fan boycott."
100% in agreement with bear (of course!) and tru's comment up at the top deserves a high-five. If that day comes to pass, it will be a day like no other. I have a song all ready to go for it.
My most favorite childhood Dodger memory was attending my first game. We (my family) sat in the left field pavilion next to the bullpen. I was so shy at the time that, although the players tried talking to me, I couldn't make myself talk back. Oh yeah, and we beat the Phillies that day, too 🙂
My favorite memory was the day that boss hired me, as GM because nobody else would. My other favorite day was the day I got us a manager to work for cheap, thanks Don. But my absolute favorite memory was the day that KIm Ng left, now I don't have to worry about someone competent questioning my moves and taking my job, bitch.
My favorite memory is when I hired you, Ned. Oh, the fun that Jamie and I had! We laughed and laughed at the Dodger fans, thinking of how humilitated they all had to be that I would have the audacity to hire a Giant for their GM! Then, to make it worse, remember when I told you to bring that incompetent trainer with you? And then when I told you to sign Schmidt? And, and, and remember when Conte told you his arm was toast? And remember what I said? "PERFECT!! Now instead of signing him for a year at $10 million, give him 3 years for $46 million? Ah, those were the days when I could spend whatever I wanted…….."
Now go get me a Krispy Kreme. One of the jelly ones. Just make sure it's less than $5 thou…….
It's crazy that for how bad our team has played recently and how many of us(myself included) have given up on the season that were only 3.5 games out of first with well over 100 yet to be played
It funny I look at those batting numbers for the Giants and there way worst than out but there pitching is holding up again. To bad the Padres offense is even worst then the Giants and they are in last place.
I mean *our not out.
My first memory of Dodger Stadium was back in July 1976, I went to a Dodgers-Pirates helmet game that was already sold out when we arrived.We're from Puerto Rico,and my Dad told my uncle who lives in Fontana:"Wait here,I'll look around for an usher"He found an usher from Fajardo,P.R.,told him he was from the island and came to watch the Dodgers game with my uncle and little brother.The usher told my Dad:"wait 'till the sixth inning,I'll slip all of you guys through".True to his word,we saw the rest of the game(Pirates beat the Dodgers 3-2),and both my brother and I came out of the ballpark with Dodgers helmets!
For all of you parents out there, weeping at the twitters shown by Josh and thinking about bringing your kids to Dodger Stadium for their first game:
Do you really want your child's first baseball game to be remembered by supporting Frank McCourt, who is comparable to Jeff Skilling of Enron?
I think anyone who keeps stuffing money in my pockets is a twit all right. But I thank you anyway. 🙂
No worries Frank. In fact, us fans like to think of you as a word that at least rhymes with twit.
Carroll SS
DeJesus 2B
Ethier RF
Kemp CF
Uribe 3B
Barajas C
Sands LF
Mitchell 1B
Kuroda P
Loney and Miles sit against the lefty.
Well, I know you want me to quit</B. But that can't be it. That I'm unfit? No, that one I'll omit. I make you spit? No, that doesn't fit. That I won't commit? Maybe a little bit. I wish I had some wit. HEY NED! YOU NIT!GET ME A BANANA SPLIT. Maybe Selig will permit it.
And, you, dear Frank, are full of shit!
Pure and simple Frank, you are just a (b)shit(/)!! I believe that rhymes with twit.
My favorite childhood memories are a 1B that could hit (Garvey) and an owner that wasn't a lowlife thieving dirtbag.
Well, that certainly doesn't rhyme with "twit".
Obviously you don't know SHIT from Shinola!!! If you did, the team would not be such a mess. Sell the team, take whats left after the debt is settled and just go away. Everyone concerned will be much better off.
We have certainly had it!!!!
We just want to throw you into a deep pit that is full of spit from all the fans you have made split.
Just pay attention to what is said at the 1:44 mark
lol since when does the Padres have an offense?
This is a very sad day. Former Dodgers, Angels exec Dick Walsh dead
Why did they waited 5 days to post this on yahoo? I really hate that.
Why does Shad keep getting time warped?
lol I'm not.
…or was it Frank who time-warped. I just wish he would get time warped to another planet.
Found: The source of the mysterious nature of numerous Dodgers on the disabled list.
Alarming combo: Bedbugs with 'superbug' germ found
Or maybe there is a simpler explanation:
1. Frank is a lowlife dirtbag who is full of shit.
2. Frank hired Ned, who doesn't know shit.
3. Ned brought along Stan Conte, who doesn't give a shit.
4. Ned picked up a bunch of old PVL's, who play like shit.
Just heard rumor Kuo is going on DL….they can't disclose why until league approval. Hmmmm.
Dylan Hernandez reports Mattingly say what's wrog with Kuo until they get league approval.What the F*ck does that mean?
It costs $5025 to file a DL report.
LOL…that's probably it!
That would explain the Elbert called up but that was for Hawksworth. I'd assume if Hawksworth goes on DL Troncoso would be back but gosh can we release Cormier and called up another young stud in the minor. I'm going to have to check out some stats. I won't be surprise if Ely, Link or that Schington(sp) or however you spell that guy name but his 1st name is Travis be call up.
They'd probably call up a young stud if they had one.
It sounds like FranknNed's fit is starting to hit the shan.
OMG, Tractor Traylor found dead at 34.
Don Nelson pulled off a great trade to get Dirk to the Mavs.
Thanks Nelly!!! I love it!! Olney doesn't expect him to even get one other owner on his side. So Long Frank!!!
Wow I wish I didn't see this.
Just to pile on, here's another article on Loney's crappy hitting this year.
"Leading the way, we get one of the worst hitters in baseball, as Loney has been swinging more often and generating terrible results. Pitchers have come after him with a lot more first-pitch strikes and Loney, to date, has been helpless to make them pay for their aggression."
Yep STT, Loney really sucks. What sucks more is the fact that he is still here and playing almost everyday. Donny and Ned need to wake up. At least he is not starting against lefties anymore.
I thought this link was interesting. It compares this team to the 2005 team that won 71 games STT. Just what you predicted. When I looked back at the 2005 team, I had thankfully forgotten how freaking bad they were.
Who the hell was Mike Edwards?
We are likely to be pretty freaking bad this year.
– Loney can't hit
– Blake will be injured much of the year
– The bullpen is in total disarray.
LOL!!! That's what I thought Beav. I don't remember him. Wow, talk about a shitty lineup. My God, Ned ain't got much on DePodesta.
I'm sure organizations far and wide are lining up waiting for Frank to sell just for a chance to talk to Ned.
Afterall, he is a genius 😉
Now they are saying Kuo has an Anxiety Disorder. Elbert was called up for him…Hawksworth not on DL yet. I think we fans, are the ones with the Anxiety Disorder!
Seven years of putting up with Frank McCourt will do that to you. Just ask Jamie.
Yep, Kuo has the Yips, and Brox has the Shits!!!!
And I would bet that Uribe and Barajas have Man Tits!!!!
( . ) ( . ) 🙂
😕 😕
Well, now Podsedik is available.
Ned – just think – Pods AND Bradley. How can you say no?
Bradley> Is better than Thames/Gibbons/Pods combined that's so sad but without Bradley we would've had Ethier here.
Paul would've been a good 4th OF's and a cheaper option than all 3 combined.
Ned is just salivating over thoughts of an outfield of Podsednik, Bradley, and Pierre.
I know Jo-Jo would have loved that group.
They fit most all of his criteria:
1. Suck/had their best season 5-6 years ago
2. Are familiar to him
3. Played in the majors at least once in the last 10 years
4. Ex-Gnats
3 out of 4 ain't bad. Sign 'em up.
And honestly, is Mitchell the best we have in the minors to bring up? Christ, I'd rather have Castro.
Fidel? 🙂
Castro, Stalin, Lenin,… just about any of them would be preferable to McCourt!
You forgot Mao.
lol at least it wasn't Loney. Come on the guy is only 26 years old and only had something like 46 PA's. Is not his fault we suck ball with risp and 2 outs.
lol telling me you're joking Wally haha. Was he's one of Ned draft picked back in SF.
I'm speaking in general terms shad (or is it general turds?) If Mitchell is one of the cream of the minor league crop, that's well beyond pathetic.
Well there is a career minor leaguer Corey Smith and we have seen him plenty of time in ST but is he really an option?
Anything is better than Loney!!!
Wow Kevin Frandsen suspended
Who is Kevin Frandsen?
Who cares? lol I think he is with the gnats…or, at least he used to be.
Phillies but like what tru said who cares.
lol Wally either you playing around with me and you forgot and ex Giants and last year was pickup on waiver by the Angels.
LOL!! I just flat didn't recognize the name. Thanks!!
You don't realize how blessed we are to have Vinny until our team goes on the road and you have to listen to crap day after day.
Speaking of which, yesterday Steiner and Monday were ragging on the Pirates – prior to this year, they just signed a bunch of PVL's and never developed a young core. Sound familiar?
Sure does!
Which should they? We did it for them.
Yeah, I wonder why the homers don't rag on Frank and Ned for the same shit!!!
Shouldn't Sands have at least 2-3 homers by now?
He's missed a couple of homers by about 3 feet.
I'm afraid Sands has GregBrockBillyAshleyitis.
Ouch!! Better than Loneyitis!!
Loney has a terminal case of Herpierres.
If Steve Lyons can see what Jerry is doing wrong in his at-bats, why the hell can't our hitting instructor? Do we have one, by the way?
He's next year's manager.
It just keep getting better & better 😕
I'm putting Loney on the Phew list:
Phew .243 avg/ .318 obp/ .271 slg/ .590 ops
Loney .228 avg/ .267 obp/ .257 slg/ .524 ops
Now that is some sad shit!!!
Phewwww! That smells!
Sad that Phew is out-slugging Loney!
I'm out-slugging Loney!
lol even sad that Bills is outslugging them both.
HA! We posted about Pierre at he same time my brother (mines above.) Are you really my long lost brother of different parents?
LOL!!! Seems like it at times. Aww yes, the old Herpierres!!! The gift that just keeps not hitting!!!
Good point, Go Billz!!
J Carroll SS 3 0 0 0 0 0 .313 .375 .374
Here is some more shit.
What's Pierre risp numbers? lol since I'm too lazy to look it up.
Me too!!!
Plus, Phews job is not to drive in runs.
Phew 13 runs/ 9 rbi
Phoney 7 runs/12 rbi
If you look at runs produced, Loney is still trailing Phew.
Loney is pegging the Phew-O-Meter!!!
The starting pitchers been good to bad the bullpen need to take notes in this game.
That suck the Texas/Oakland games was rain out and the Rangers were up 7-0.
How would you like to lose your 1st GS like that and probably won't get a chance to hit 1 no more in your career.
Woo-hoo….two men on…..question is, will we score?!
We'll be lucky to get one Trumom. I'm hoping for alot more however.
Bases loaded…no outs…how many runs?
The one closest will win a mccourt bobblehead!
Same old shit…freaking double play! Now, it's up to poor Jerry to try and bring in another run. And, he did it! woo-hoo
lol Anxiety Disorder really.
Alright Jerry!!!
Damn Sands is such a double machine and he's the Brian Roberts of the Orioles.
Urgh I didn't know Kuroda was pitching a no hitter until I see that bust Wood broke it up.
lol wow 2 IBB's in one inning such a rare thing.
Sands XBH and is owning Loney XBH lol.
Whew….avoided a disaster!
Whew is right!!!
Better than Phew….lol
Really!!! LOL!!!
Sorry about that…I'm bored as hell. I really miss the PED era 🙂
Can't say I'm sorry to see the PED era gone. Its ashame it screwed up the record book. Aaron 751 and Maris 61 are still the true records in my book.
I wish I was alive to see those 2 hit.
I agree with you. I was just spouting off from being in that kind of mood. Aaron is KING!
I hear ya Trumom™. This team will do it to you.
Look like the Indians home winning streak is going to be snap if they can't comback form a 7-0 deflict. I can't believe that team have the best record in the league maybe Lebron leaving there town help.
Can we start a relieve pitcher for the 1st inning and let the starting pitcher finishes the 2nd-8th to help with those ugly bullpen numbers lol?
To bad Kuroda can't take 30 pitches away from his PC. I would've love to see him get a CG.
Yeah I hate the Heat and Celtics but glad the Celtics lost. I hope the Heat lose next round.
Paul " The Truth" Pierce turned into a helluva lie! He stunk!! If it wasn't for the Boston bench, it would have been a big blow out.
Gosh why can't we hit .300+ with risp for 2 games in a rows?
Super effort by Kuroda tonight!!! Nice job!!!
Very nice job, indeed!
Was hoping for a few insurance runs. But, it looks like 2 will have to do.
Me too, Tru!!!!!!!!!
Good grief, is Loney f*cking pathetic or what?!!!
But, Lyons said he hit the ball real hard! lmao An out is an out!
lol yahoo have Loney at 2nd bases hmmmmmm

Please, please, please, Padilla….a 1, 2, 3 9th!
This would be our 2nd team shutout of the season.
Yahoo is tripping Miles at 1st.
Do this mean Loney is 0/2 yahoo lol?
About damn time you fixed that yahoo and look like Carroll need to start a new streak.
I am loving Padilla's relief work.
Vincente says…………….
We don't need no stinkin' Broxton!!!!!!!
Woo-Hoo, win streak!!!!
Plop, plop…fizz, fizz…oh what a relief it is!
Way to go Kuroda and Padilla! Let's get another one tomorrow!
You can't forget Guerrier kind of impressive innings he had. I wish we can have that in the 9th with less than 10 pitches.
Would you believe, as lousy as things have been, we are only 3 games out of first place?!
Doesn't say much for the NL West!!!
Exactly! That's what I was telling Hubby last night.
However, we are in the division with the World Series Chumps 😕
Those stupid Rockies losing a series vs the Giants.
Good win tonight.. the starting pitching was outstanding as usual and I'm liking padilla in the 9th so far. Unfortunately the offense was its usual pathetic self tonight. If ethier and kemp can keep producing at this pace and we can get one more guy to be productive the rest of the way(maybe sands?) I think we could hang in there til the end but it's not likely
I fear the west is so pathetic that we will still be in it at the trade deadline and Ned will empty out what's left of the farm acquiring more worthless PVLs to "get us over the hump."
Of course we'll still finish in 4th, but probably be without Robinson and Gordon.
Damon could probably be had for De LaRosa and Tolleson, saving Robinson and Gordon for Matsui. Throw in Lee, and the current team would probably pick up the salary for the rest of the year.
Good Morning All..
Not that I am a mind reader, but perhaps Mr. Kuo is thinking too much. Perhaps he just needs to put a little fun, back into his soul.
My suggestion is the Boy's need hold a Karaoke Night, nothing like some good times and laughter to loosen up the mind.
Anyhoo…I am rooting for ya Mr. Kuo, and I believe in your song.
Have a fantastic Thursday everyone and enjoy the game tonight!!
Good Morning!!! Funny – whenever you put up a youtube video, it doesn't appear on my computer here at school. Youtube is "access denied" here so I all I see is blank, making wonder what you guys are up to 🙂
A little more info on Hong-Chih Kuo

Mark "Movie Star" Fields is making one hell of a "Bold Move" for the weekend after Thanksgiving — showing off something he's calling the "Showroom of the Future" at Detroit's Cobo Hall. The little post-turkey extravaganza is a curtain pull on FoMoCo's future product plans for Ford NorAm from now until, you know, whenever they run out of ideas — which apparently will be 2010. The two-day event is open to current and future Ford workers only, allowing them to see the automaker's product development plans aren't totally full of shit, "Dave" and fourteen Mustang variants. As Fields explains,
"Through our North America 'Way Forward' plan, we've spoken a lot about reducing our uncompetitive cost structure, but we have not yet fully explained our accelerated product plans...
...it's time to change that — and to show our full team of employees and retirees how this transformation truly is product-led."
Basically, this little exhibit will be an auto buff's dream — including new designs and concepts for everything from a new front-end to the Ford Five Hundred to a new front-end to the Ford Focus, all the way up to a new front-end to the next redesign of the Ford Mustang that isn't a Shelby-Saleen Boss whatever variant. To accommodate the time schedule, FoMoCo chief designer Peter "Big Balls" Horbury's probably busy applying a whole hell of a lot of "Dave" on platforms as we speak. We'd love to find out for ourselves, but despite 25,000 potential attendees, we're not among them. None of us are former or current FoMoCo employees. Given our Bruce Dickinson-like need for "More Dave" — we're putting out a call to would-be spy photogs: Now is the opportunity to get us the mother lode. First one to bring us pictures from inside the event of FoMoCo's Ford brand "Dave-ness", Mercruy's "MetroSexyBack" or Lincoln's "whatever" — will win one of them new t-shirts we talked about (and you talked about, given the comment load) yesterday. So yeah, that's right — let's tear this mutha down!

Clara Hughes Second in Bobbie Rosenfeld Voting
Former Canadian cycling star Clara Hughes finished second to speedskating teammate Cindy Klassen in voting for the Bobbie Rosenfeld award for 2006. The Canadian Press award for the top Canadian female athlete of the year is voted upon by Canadian Press and top newspaper sportswriters and editors. (Editor's Note: each year we are requested by CP to provide the names of any Canadian cyclists that should be nominated; this year we submitted Marie-Helene Premont's name)
Klassen, who won five medals at the Torino Olympics, was the overwhelming favourite, taking 131 of 144 first-place ballots and 412 points, to Hughes' 104 points (with three first-place votes). Olympic hockey gold medalist Hayley Wickenheiser had five first-place votes and finished third with 83 points.
Hughes and Klassen are also up for the Globe and Mail newspaper Nationbuilder award, which will be announced this Saturday.

iFaith, originally codenamed Project iF, was released today by iH8sn0w (@iH8sn0w) after his first live demo of the application.
An announcement this last Sunday gave information on where to watch for the release of iFaith but it was unknown about what the project consisted of and what its true name was. Today's live stream by iH8sn0w showcased the world's first public SHSH dumper.
A project that includes previous projects by iH8sn0w, iFaith is the first application to have the ability to dump SHSH blobs onto your physical device. iH8sn0w elaborated in his live stream on how iFaith works and reasons why it will be a useful tool:
- Because it dumps SHSH physically onto your device, it alleviates issues with having to upgrade to a firmware that is not currently jailbreakable.
- For example, if you buy another iDevice, it comes with a preloaded iOS version. Even if that version is currently jailbreakable, when Apple updates the firmware to a new version, they not longer need to sign signatures on SHSH blobs for lower versions.
- This means that you no longer have SHSH retrieval for that particular firmware. If you run into an issue of restore or device corruption, you have to update to the latest firmware and have no way of downgrading. With iFaith, you're now able to place SHSH blobs directly onto your device thus removing an issue of unnecessary iOS upgrading.
- Programs like TinyUmbrella and Cydia are able to store SHSH blobs but are limited in capabilities. These programs do not allow physical retrieval of SHSH blobs and they only can retrieve SHSH blobs that are currently signed by Apple. For this reason, the SHSH blobs are on a time constraint.

Adobe CS5.5 running over Intel's Thunderbolt @ NAB 2011
Just a quick blog update from NAB 2011.
One of the coolest tech demos at this years NAB was Intel's Thunderbolt technology. As you may have seen in my previous blog entry, Apple's newest laptop has the Intel Thunderbolt port that shares the same connection as the Mini Displayport . Currently, this is the only computer shipping with a Thunderbolt port – remember that you can't simply add a Thunderbolt port, it's tied into the logic board/Bus and processor. This is a feature you will want to watch for on your next computer purchase if you use uncompressed files or need to move large project files around.
As walked the show floor during setup, I saw several booths with Thunderbolt on display and none of them gave people the opportunity to see a complete workflow from computer to SDI output. Most of them were out of reach and under a piece of clear plastic. I wanted to give people a chance to play with the timeline and experience Thunderbolt first hand. Thanks to Promise Technology(Raid), BlackMagic Design (IO) , and iKan (7" SDI monitor), we were able to pull together a great display with in a few hours.
The real credit on the Adobe side goes to our Pro Video engineers and the Intel engineers who closely worked together over the past few years to insure that our 64 bit Mercury software playback engine could take full advantage of the "Fat Pipes" that Thunderbolt provides. As many of your know, Uncompressed video is not that much of strain on the processors like h264 video, but you do need a clean 64 bit path to deliver that much data from the timeline to IO like the Blackmagic unit demonstrates. All of these pieces need a clean 64 bit path and need to work together.
Click on the video shot by ProVideoCoalition.com to get a quick idea of what this is technology is all about. I'll be working on more tech demos as new Thunderbolt hardware is rolled out. Several vendors are planning to offer Thunderbolt connectivity in the near future have already contacted me. This includes, Cameras, IO devices, Displays, Raids, and PCs.
Stay tuned….

Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates, Inc. (KDA) has arranged for the renewal of a 14,000 square-foot, long-term lease for New York-based drugstore chain Duane Reade at 198-15 Horace Harding Expressway at the Cross Path Shopping Center in Flushing, Kalmon and Neil Dolgin, co-presidents of KDA announced.
"The Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates team worked closely with the owner to negotiate the best possible terms for the lease renewal of Duane Reade at the property," said Neil Dolgin. "The prime location of the Cross Path Shopping Center offers tenants excellent visibility, and the close proximity of Francis Lewis Boulevard and I-495 provides customers convenient access to all that the center has to offer."
Neil and Grant Dolgin of Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates represented the owner in the deal, while Winick Realty Group, LLC negotiated on behalf of the tenant.
In addition to Duane Reade, the 44,877-square-foot, one-story Cross Path Shopping Center features tenants such as Waldbaums grocery store, N&S Wines, a nail salon, pet groomer, T-Mobile and the Blue Bay Diner.

Though it's not without competitors, I'd argue that Apple's HealthKit has stood out since its inception, in part because it was relatively early to the game (mining patient-centered data) and partly because Apple products have a sexy reputation. That being said, it hasn't exactly transformed the health IT industry either.
Now, though, with the acquisition of Gliimpse, a startup which pulls data from disparate EMRs into a central database, it's become clearer what Apple's big-picture goals are for the healthcare market – and if its business model works out they could indeed change health data industry.
According to a nifty analysis by Bloomberg's Alex Webb, which quotes an Apple Health engineer, the technology giant hopes to see the health data business evolve along the lines of Apple's music business, in which Apple started with a data management tool (the iPod) then built a big-bucks music platform on the device. And that sounds like an approach that could steal a move from many a competitor indeed.
Apple's HealthKit splash
Apple made a big splash with the summer 2014 launch of HealthKit, a healthcare data integration platform whose features include connecting patient generated health data with traditional systems like the Epic EMR. It also attracted prominent partners like Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Ochsner Health System within a year or so of its kickoff.
Still, the tech giant has been relatively quiet about its big-picture vision for healthcare, leaving observers like yours truly wondering what was up. After all, many of Apple's health data moves have been incremental. For example, a few months ago I noted that Apple had begun allowing users to store their EMR data directly in its Health app, using the HL7 CCD standard. While interesting, this isn't exactly an earth-shattering advance.
But in his analysis — which makes a great deal of sense to me – Bloomberg's Webb argues that Apple's next act is to take the data it's been exchanging with wearables and put it to better use. Apple's long-awaited big idea is to turn Apple's HealthKit into a system that can improve diagnoses, sources told Bloomberg.
Also, Apple intends to integrate health records as closely with its proprietary devices as possible, offering not only data collection but suggestions for better health in a manner that can't be easily duplicated on Android platforms. As Webb rightly points out, such a move could undermine Google's larger healthcare plans, by locking consumers into Apple technology and discouraging a switch to the Google Fit health tracking software.
Big vision, big questions
As we know, even a company with the reputation, cash and proprietary user base enjoyed by Apple is far from a shoo-in for consumer health data dominance. (Consider the fate of Microsoft HealthVault and Google Health.) Its previous successes have come, as noted, by creating a channel then dominating that channel, but there's no guarantee it can pull off such a trick this time.
For one thing, the wearables market is highly fragmented, and Apple is far from being the leader. (According to one set of stats, Fitbit had 25.4% of the global wearables market as of Q2 '16, Xiaomi 14%, and Apple just 7%.) That doesn't bode well for starting a health tracker-based revolution.
On the other hand, though, Apple did manage to create and dominate a channel in the music business, which is also quite resistant to change and dominated by extremely entrenched powers that be. If any upstart healthcare player could make this happen, it's probably Apple. It will be interesting to see whether Apple can work its magic once again.

AMD to launch its fastest CPU ever on August 13th, 2009
There is little or no doubt that AMD's Shanghai e.g. K10.5 architecture is the best one to date. Six years after the debut of original K8 architecture [Opteron/Athlon 64], its modified version is finally passing the thermal-imposed barrier of 3.2 GHz.
In only ten days time [NDA on processors that AMD sent out to selected reviewers expires on August 13th, 2009 at 06:01AM], AMD will release the Phenom II 965 Black Edition, a multiplier-unlocked processor ticking at 3.4 GHz with the expected power consumption. After the unhappy break that was K10 e.g. Barcelona/Agena, it is good to see AMD improving on the CPU core and releasing faster clocked products and keeping roughly the same thermal levels just like they did with Athlon and Athlon 64.
Also worth noting is that we might see AMD or Intel releasing the fastest clocked x86 processor of all times in 2010 – the current record for multi-cores lies with Pentium Extreme Edition 965 clocked at 3.73 GHz, featuring a "lovely" real-world TDP of 162W. Mono-cores didn't went much beyond that – Pentium 4 670 and 672 were clocked at 3.8 GHz respectively. With advancements in process technology, a 162W TDP would now fit a quad-core processor at 4+GHz, instead of dual-core at 3.73 GHz – can anyone say that technology is not moving ahead?
To make matters more interesting, it looks like AMD decided to battle Intel with legalized overclocking – given that the Phenom II 900 series mostly consists out of Black Edition CPUs. In fact, we might argue that AMD is mostly targeting overclockers now – if you take a look at the whole Athlon II and Phenom II line-up, you'll see that the percentage of Black Edition processors is unusually high.
This is a far cry from the times when both manufacturers sanctioned overclocking with canceling out warranties and even punishing system integrators that offered overclocked processors in their respective line-ups.

Looks like Renaissance man James Franco's got competition. Singer/actor/designer Justin Timberlake added "Indy 500 winner" to his list of accomplishments Sunday, when the race car sponsored by his William Rast clothing line won the race, Us Magazine reports.
English driver Dan Wheldon, 32, finished first place in the Indianapolis race after driver J.R. Hildebrand crashed in the final lap.
"What a Memorial Day weekend! The William Rast car just won the Indy 500!!!!," Timberlake tweeted. "Congrats to Dan Wheldon, the WR racing team and everyone else who put in the hard work for this victory! Unreal!"
This is the fourth year William Rast has been a sponsor in the race, according to Radar Online.
JT and his childhood best friend Trace Ayala started denim label William Rast in 2005. The company's name is a combination of their grandfathers' names. The company's website describes their clothing as "grounded in the iconography of American denim heritage and biker culture, yet re-packaged and presented in a contemporary context."
The American Apparel & Footwear Association named William Rast "Brand of the Year" in April.

How Zynga Will Change Draw Something
Social game giant Zynga purchased mobile drawing game sensation Draw Something creator OMGPOP Wednesday for a rumored $210 million in cash and employee retention payments.
The popular game has been downloaded over 30 million times since its launch 6 weeks ago, with more than 1 billion drawings being created in the process. It's easy to see why Zynga, which is in the social gaming business itself, might want to purchase the company and its engaged customer base, hoping to bring those same players into other Zynga games in the future
Now that the Pictionary-style game is under Zynga's umbrella, however, what's that going to mean for the world's most popular word game?
"The game is a huge monster. People love the game — we're just going to support the game," Zynga CMO David Ko told Mashable.
Now that the game is part of Zynga, the company plans to let things continue to run as they have been, except now under the Zynga umbrella.
Rather than simply putting a Zynga label on the game, it plans to help the existing developers improve performance issues within Draw Something, find new developers to work on the game, and help the existing OMGPOP staff plan new games for the future.
OMGPOP was made up of a fairly small staff of people. "There are more features people want in the game, and there's no way we could scale enough people fast enough," said OMGPOP CEO Dan Porter. "The game is so large that you need a really big scale."
OMGPOP hopes that the Zynga acquisition will help give it some of the resources it needs to add those features quickly.
"Chat is a big part of the plan, but tricky because you don't want to break the guessing cycle of the game," says Porter. The company is looking to add a chat feature that appears after you've finished guessing a photo where you could commend or condemn your opponents artistic abilities.
Sharing is also part of the plan. Currently there is no way for users to save drawings they create or receive during the game other than creating screenshots on their devices. Porter says that the company is close to being able to integrate in a sharing feature in the game where drawings can be saved and shared with friends online.
Early on OMGPOP realized that words were a huge component in the game, and the company recently added the ability to add words on-the-fly to the game, a feature absent in its original release. Now words within the game can be changed to topics that are currently in the news. For instance, when the Hunger Games debuts later this week there will be 10 new words in the game related to the movie.
"Just like Draw Something is a cooperative game where two players work together and have a lot of fun, we hope to replicate that same feeling with OMGPOP and Zynga," said Porter in a post on Zynga's website.
Plans for the future also involve creating more cooperative games like Draw Something where players work together rather than against each other; games in which there is no "winner" or "loser."
"It's going to be drawsome," adds Porter.

All week this week on DiS Apparat Organ Quartet kick off a new 'Planet Gear' irregular feature on DiS, in which we ask musicians to get a bit geeky and talk us through the equipment that makes the magic happen. Today Jóhann Jóhannsson talks us through his Yamaha YC-20...
You can catch up with the rest of the Planet Gear series here.
The Yamaha YC-20 is one of the most recent organs to join the AOQ collection. We have had both the YC-30 and YC-45. Actually Úlfur´s main organ on the road has been the Yamaha YC-30, while I´ve been playing Farfisa professional for the past few years. The YC-20 is a beautiful design from the 1970s. It was the favourite organ of the early minimalists, Terry Reilly, Philip Glass etc. It´s high-gloss Ivory surface and those huge knobs are really nice. The sound can be both smooth and dreamy or fuzzy and aggressive.
I bought it from a Danish musician who had travelled with it for several years and it has never failed. It's built into a sturdy flight case, so it´s pretty a good touring organ. I've played a few gigs with it and it changed the live sound of the band for the better so I think it is going to be part of our live set from now on.

Osho Meditation Retreat
Friday: € 15
Saturday: € 60
Sunday: € 50
Weekend: € 120
(incl. breakfast, lunch, dinner)
Staying overnight is possible.
Limited number of participants.
Registration is needed:
06 42091142 / Meera
Anadi starts offering Osho Meditation retreats again within the restictions of the corona measures. The number of participants will be limited.
Swami Anand Anadi was born in Osho's home town in his neighbourhood, where he grew up within Osho's vibration. He became sanyassin at the age of 18 in 1981, started working in the Osho commune and created his base in Pune.
Over the years he more and more became a traveller, letting existence guide him to where he is needed, just by following his heart. With the people he meets on his path, he is sharing his love, silence and Osho meditations, enriched by his experiences.
Lately he also invites others to travel by creating each year an Osho Tour: a journey into the life of Osho, full of bliss, meditation and joy - going to places where Osho spent his childhood and early life up to the age of 40, meeting with people who were close to him.
Anadi has visited many rooms of his inner palace and has the talent to help others to discover theirs - whether you are a beginner standing at your porch or having entered different inner rooms already.
You are most welcome to join the upcoming Meditation Weekend to experience Osho meditation techniques such as the Dynamic, Kundalini, No Dimensions, Nadabrahma, Nataraj, White Robe shared by Anadi in a meditative climate of silence and love.
If you have a maroon robe, please bring it. Otherwise we provide the robe at the cost price of 10 euro. Its is a brand new robe from India that you can also use at home while you are meditating. These robes create a unifying atmosphere and help to keep the attention on the inner rather than the outer. The color maroon, when worn by many people meditating together, adds to the collective meditative energy.

My name is Glenn Hustler. I am an illustrator based in Bradford, U.K. I've always had an interest in historical matter. A couple of my un-commisioned projects include an illustrated story of the First Crusade, in which I married a number of events during the Crusade to the reported words of the Pope who called for it to happen, and a fictional diary of a WWI soldier complete with illustrations.
After I graduated I met Patrick Hadley, an archaeologist interested in public understanding of the past. He introduced me to the idea that there is a need for a new approach in the visual depiction of human prehistory. The problem being that current illustration of this kind provides a deceptively complete picture of what is known, which means it's audience generally doesn't feel the need to question it.
Together, we have founded a non-profit company advocating this approach. Enkyad Heritage Media brings artists (visual, music, dance) and archaeologists together to help bring the past to life. We have written and storyboarded a short animation set in the Mesolithic, which contains many self-contradictions in it's presentation. Once finished we plan to take the animation to art galleries and history museums. The hope is that by encouraging an open questioning of the material we present, we can build interest in the subject by allowing people to pursue their own lines of enquiry.
Other opportunities to produce work related to the subject of archaeology have come through Patrick. I provided work for the northern hunter gatherer forum, last year I met Dave Farnell, editor of the archaeological journal, The Post Hole, for which I have produced covers, and most recently I had my logo accepted for the day of archaeology!
The brief was very helpful. It was clear the logo had to be bold, bright and punchy but clearly be archaeological, so I layered some earthy colours in the text while trying to keep them bright and cheerful. While sketching out ideas I played around with the concept of using broken or partly hidden text, in order to create a puzzle to be solved and there is an element of that in the top line.

If you have a problem with the law or would like to help with justice, acting on justice yourself can land you in hot water. The nature of mankind in distressed situations is to take the law into their own hands. It is the most disciplined thinkers that control the desire to retaliate. I make an urgent call on all people to take a breath of fresh air when the pressure is on to react in a violent or threatening situation. You need help with justice and it will likely be served but by getting yourself tangled up in someone else's web, you may put yourself and family in jeopardy. There has been a long history of mistreatment and unfairness of the justice system. It is up to us to find the right knowledge and rulings for situations that affect us…knowledge is power.
Hopefully getting you the help with justice and legal advice will show you that diversity is exploding online to bring you other solutions besides digging deep into your pocket every time you need to hire lawyers. The people of the web needing help with justice or legal help cannot put their trust in the court system. To get a sound guide to help with justice of the peace info browse this site and see if you can find help for your problem without having to retain legal advisor's help.

NCBI recently announced a new release of
functional regulatory elements.
NCBI is now providing
RefSeq and
records for non-genic functional elements that have been described in the literature and are
experimentally validated. Elements in scope include experimentally-verified gene regulatory
regions (e.g., enhancers, silencers, locus control regions), known structural elements
(e.g., insulators, DNase I hypersensitive sites, matrix/scaffold-associated regions),
well-characterized DNA replication origins, and clinically-significant sites of DNA recombination
and genomic instability. Priority is given to genomic regions that are implicated in human disease
or are otherwise of significant interest to the research community. Currently, the scope of this
project is restricted to human and mouse. The current scope does not include functional elements
predicted from large-scale epigenomic mapping studies, nor elements based on disease-associated
Functional elements are colored by Sequence Ontology (SO) term
using the same scheme as NCBI's Genome Data Viewer:
NCBI manually curated features in accordance with International Nucleotide
Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) standards. Features that are supported by direct
experimental evidence include at least one experiment qualifier with an evidence code (ECO ID)
from the Evidence and Conclusion Ontology, and at least one citation from PubMed. Currently
971 distinct PubMed citations are included in this track.
This track was made with assistance from
Terence Murphy at NCBI.
Several new enhancements to the RefSeq Functional Elements dataset are available as a Public Hub.
The hub can be found on the Public Hub page.
The track hub was prepared by Dr. Catherine M. Farrell, NCBI/NLM/NIH with further insights discussed
in a related NCBI blog post.

Below we present a list (not in any particular order) of our favorite Contemporary Solo Instrumental Music (non-piano) albums released during the fourth quarter of 2014. We highly recommend each of these albums. To qualify for this list, an album had to be a new release (not a re-release) in either October, November, or December of 2014, feature solo instrumental music (or solo instrumental with light accompaniment) and be available for purchase on either iTunes, Amazon.com, or CDBaby.com. In selecting these seven albums from over a hundred possibilities, we applied the same rigorous standards that we use in choosing music for play on GAIA Prime Radio. So if you enjoy the music we play on our station, we are confident that you will enjoy the music on these albums as well. Click on the album title or CD cover image and you will be taken to iTunes where you can listen to samples of music from that album and/or purchase it.
Coming Soon: Our favorite recently released "Contemporary Instrumental: Piano" and "Contemporary Instrumental: Multi-Instrumental" albums.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Earnings at Time Warner Inc. grew 24 per cent in the first three months of the year despite a slight drop in revenue, as the company benefited from strength in its television networks.
Time Warner Inc. said Wednesday that first-quarter net income was $720 million, or 75 cents per share, compared with $583 million, or 59 cents, a year earlier. Adjusted for one-time items, the company earned 82 cents per share, beating the 75 cents expected by analysts surveyed by FactSet.
But revenue of $6.94 billion was short of the $7.16 billion expected by analysts. In the same period last year, revenue was $6.98 billion.
Its stock fell 30 cents, or 0.5 per cent, to close Wednesday at $59.48 after the results came out.
Time Warner said revenue growth at its television channels such as TBS and HBO was offset by declines at the studio production and magazine businesses.
Revenue at the television networks grew 3 per cent to $3.7 billion because of a 5 per cent increase in subscription revenue, such as fees that cable and satellite TV companies pay to carry Turner channels.
Advertising revenue at the networks fell 1 per cent despite higher ad rates, in part because of weakness at CNN and the shutdown of channels in India and Turkey.
The company said the Warner Bros. studio was successful with television productions, including hits such as "Revolution" on NBC and "The Following" on Fox. But revenue at the studio fell 4 per cent to $2.7 billion because its movies didn't do as well in theatres and it had fewer TV shows available for licensing abroad.
Another weakness was in the Time Inc. magazine business, which the company plans to spin off into a separate publicly traded company by the end of the year. Revenue at Time Inc. fell 5 per cent to $737 million. A 2 per cent increase in advertising revenue was offset by larger declines in subscription and other revenue. Ad revenue grew because the division now handles the websites for Sports Illustrated and Golf.
During a conference call with analysts, CEO Jeff Bewkes said the spin-off should leave Time Warner stronger as "the leading pure-play video content company in the world." Without Time Inc., he said, the company will get about 90 per cent of profits from television — the cable networks and television production at Warner Bros.
He said Time Warner Cable Inc. and AOL Inc. have both done better as independent companies, after Time Warner Inc. spun them off years ago.
"Back when we did those transactions, it wasn't common for large media companies to take steps to become smaller, but we did them because we believe they were in the best interest of our stockholders," he said.
The company also reaffirmed its outlook for the full year. It expects percentage growth in adjusted earnings to be in the low double digits. Analysts were expecting adjusted earnings of $3.68 per share, or about 12 per cent above $3.28 per share in 2012.
Time Warner also said it will issue a dividend of 28.75 cents per share on June 15 to shareholders of record on May 31.

The employees valued each factor on a five-point scale, and also indicated how important each one was to their overall happiness at work.
Afterward, those findings were analyzed and sorted to create a list of the 20 Happiest Jobs in America. And some of the results may surprise you.
