A C64 emulator for your gp2x.
Fantastic job. Plays nearly everything I throw at it. User Interface is nice to use too.
Excellent! Runs full speed without a hitch. Why are F2, F4, F6 and F8 missing on the virtual keyboard though?
@Daikon: The even numbered F keys are the shifted values of the odd number ones. F1/F2, F3/F4, F5/F6, F7/F8. To get F2 you would use SHIFT and F1, etc.
Vice is better. Frodo doesn't run Creatures!
I never had a C64. I had a ZX81 and then a Spectrum for a short while. There's a lot of fun to be had trying out emulators of machines I've not owned as there's a huge library of games to experience. There have been some games I couldn't get working but to be fair I tried them in VICE and they still didn't work.
World Karate Championship and Armalyte are two gaming highlights for me so far.
This for me has turned out to be one of the best emulators on the GP2X; so many fun games.
Recently, Retro Gamer magazine (GB) reviewed a new C64 game called Joe Gunn and it's fantastic. Take a look here and there's a walkthrough here if you need it.


A long-simmering feud -- detailed in a stunning new report -- could be the reason that Beyoncé and Jay Z skipped Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's lavish wedding in Florence, Italy on Saturday.
RadarOnline.com says that Bey and Jay like Kanye, but they can't stand Kim!
A source at Eonline.com had a different version of what happened. The insider said the couple opted to skip the wedding to avoid drama with Rachel Roy. The designer was supposedly at the center of Jay Z and Solange's elevator dispute after the Met Gala.
In contrast to the reports, the "Drunk in Love" singer wished the couple well on their big day.

Resting and Testing
A little update to keep you all up to speed on Baby Peace and I. I have been adhering to a regiment of testing and resting. Resting in a semi bed rest fashion, I am getting a few quiet days in Denver to catch up on much needed rest, relaxation and reflection. Testing is taking place every Monday and Thursday. Every time we go for testing they do a bio physical profile on the baby looking closely at the dopplers or heart tones in very specific areas on the body and in the umbilical cord. As you know from past updates this has been in flux. Our little Baby Peace was in the middle of a circus act today, which is great to see except when you need them to hold still. We got the necessary readings of flow despite baby's many movements. Nothing has really changed for better or for worse. While the other recent tests strongly indicated "absent" or "reverse" flow, today's test had the dopplers all over the board. They were strongest where the cord exits the placenta and seemed to weaken en route to baby's belly. My high-risk maternal fetal medicine doctor said he "really didn't know what to make of it..."
For now we are in "stable" mode and will await anxiously the tests on Monday and Thursday of next week. Thursday will be when we next calculate fetal weight. We'll see if we've inched anywhere nearer that magical 1500 grams that we need to hit at a minimum. It's going to be a long week, not only for myself and baby, but Papa at home with our other precious kids.
Thanks for your vigilance and constancy in support. Our family feels embraced by each of you during this trial.
In great gratitude,
Free video to kickstart ideas for you to build your strength! Get it here!

Of course, no puppet-centric list would be complete without a Muppet or two. These Jim Henson creations are some of the more hilarious residents of Sesame Street, and are presumed to be from the planet Mars. Their trademark "yip yip….uh huh" language demonstrates beautifully their misunderstanding of the inherent absurdity of many human objects (e.g. televisions and typewriters). Complete with furry hides, tentacles, googly eyes and antennae, these out-of-this-world puppets can really put the world in perspective.
Wayang Kulit isn't a specific puppet, but rather an ancient form of shadow puppetry that has existed in Indonesia for centuries. Contrary to many of the preconceptions that are usually associated with puppets and their uses, these intricate and highly developed works of art are used to tell stories of mythology and the ancient struggle between good and evil. The puppets themselves are hand-made from buffalo hides, and operated using a complex system of strings and sticks. Their actions are orchestrated by a conductor known as the Dalang.
Many might argue that there is nothing bizarre about Howdy Doody – he is a beloved children's character and a staple of American entertainment history. We counter; however, that no string-operated, man-made juvenile should have that much influence over the youth of the world. This wooden, freckle-faced youngster captivated countless children and continues to represent the childhood of millions raised during the original running of the show (1947-1959).
What is every multi-million dollar superstar athlete missing from his entourage? Why, a smaller, smart-mouthed puppet version of himself! This fast-talking, game-spitting hustler could be spotted in night clubs, chasing supermodels, courtside at basketball games and hocking the merits of both the real Penny Hardaway and his signature sneakers. As Hardaway's fame began to fade, so did Li'l Penny's behavior, spiraling so far as to become embroiled in a confrontation with fellow puppet counterpart Miles Thirst. Seriously.
What's more bizarre than a puppet that wants to be a real boy? Real boys that want to be puppets. This gimmick was launched during the release of the "No Strings Attached" album in 2000, and featured a cover with the pop heartthrobs strung up like marionettes. While the concept may have oozed cheese, it made bank for the band, hitting number one on the Billboard charts and setting NSYNC head and shoulders above the other "boy bands" of the decade.
Don't be surprised if you don't recognize this fella'. As far as we can tell, he's no one famous or infamous. He's just plain old creepy. Really creepy. Rats are some of those aforementioned critters that carry an innate sense of strangeness, being plague-carriers and all. During the course of our research, the interwebs presented us with this jewel of bizarreness. Nothing says "strange" like a scrawny, wooden rat on a string.
Jim Henson strikes again. "The Dark Crystal" is legendary for its all-puppet cast, and the terrifying Garthim are a major contributor to its success. These puppets are built on a massive scale, an incarnation of nightmare and destruction. Seemingly created to do the bidding of the evil Skeksies, they crumble to pieces at the defeat of their masters, revealing themselves to be empty, golem-like "puppets" that cannot withstand the return of good to the world.
The "Captain Stargood" television show was created in a disastrous attempt to cash in on the Space Race of the 1960's. The eccentric wunderkind puppeteer Oswald Larsen was granted total autonomy in the production of the show and the resulting product was later described as "unwatchable, twisted and utter sh*t." Amid the wave of disgust and contempt that followed the release, the creators fled and much information regarding the terrible puppet show was lost.
Our number one spot is reserved for another nameless discovery from the depths of the internet. With his accordion jaws and less-than-sanitary-looking candy, this elaborate marionette is the perfect example of everything that creeps people out about puppets.


Discussion in '3rd Gen 4Runners (1996-2002)' started by Ol'Blue, Sep 25, 2015.
Came home from a nice long week vacation. The 4Runners had been sitting and just hanging out. It had been running rough for a little bit but would come out of it after it warmed up.
Hit the key and nothing but white smoke came rolling out the tail pipe and took about ten minutes to burn off all the coolant.
I'll post the video up as soon as I can.
Well it lasted 261,000 miles so I guess that is not to bad.
W3LCH and Bob like this.
is it an easy job on those? Thats damn good miles.
Need to pull the motor depending on what side. Mine was on the passanger side. I couldn't get the exhaust off. Might be able to undo the motor mounts and tilt the motor. But i pulled mine and sent the whole thing off to Shop to have it rebuilt and machined. $2200. $800 Master rebuild kit, rest labor + Machine work. Shave the headers and went ringed over. Mine only made it to 198,800K. @Ol'Blue is lucky!
Good Mileage is in the maintenance my friend.... I was trying to make 300k.


Most of my podcasts are with people that are established in a thing that isn't going to change - they are builders, musicians or coders that have chosen the tools and directions of their craft, and are sticking to 'em. Har is different - he's decided to step away from one milieu and into another. I didn't know much about this at the time that I reached out to him, but as he filled me in on his transitions, I realized that this was a great opportunity to see someone as they change tack.
My original goal with talking to Har was that he is an ambient musician that doesn't really use keyboards; rather, he uses guitars, basses, Chapman Stick and other stringed instruments. When I played with him at a planetarium gig, I watched with awe as he set up a rig with perhaps 50 guitar pedals in a ring around the stange - and proceeded to use 'em all! The sound was both beautiful and mighty and something that I'll remember for a long time as a completely unique experience.
Anyway, in this podcast, we talk about his instrumentation and his style, but we mostly talk about the process of change: leaving behind his internet radio show, embracing a new style, learning new skills and starting a new project with a here-it-all-is video.

Sine on Random Application Testing What is Sine on Random testing and when should I use this testing method in place of, or in addition to, either Sine or Random?
You may have asked yourself this in the past. The answers are quite simple.
the sinusoidal vibration is minimal and is less important to the overall test. In other cases the sinusoidal vibration that affects the device you will be testing has an impact on the underlying background random, and should be recognized as an important part of the test procedure. The sine tones which are superimposed on the random profile in a Sine on Random test can be fixed frequency or sweeping depending on the most common in-service experience. If sweeping tones are used they are often narrow frequency sweeps at approximately +/- 5% of the center frequency. All aircraft, whether fixed wing, rotor or rocket propelled, have a base random energy inherent when in service. In addition there is also a sinusoidal element present that cannot be ignored when testing. The sinusoidal vibration typically comes from the turbine engine or rotor blade and is present at various frequencies. Most of the components in an aircraft will benefit from mixed mode testing. Instruments, connectors, batteries and other common components of aircraft are all subject to both sinusoidal and random vibrations simultaneously, and are subject to failure from these vibrations. For this reason Sine on Random is the best application for testing components in many aerospace applications. A common and extremely harsh application of Sine on Random testing is the helicopter gunfire test. The helicopter is subject to a common random vibration, but when gunfire is introduced, a very noticeable high g sinusoidal vibration is infused into the environment. Devices that have only been tested using one method or the other may at first appear to be able to withstand this new environment created by gunfire from a helicopter. Since the Sine on Random testing method better represents the real world conditions, this would always be the preferred test procedure.
So how do you establish the correct profile to run on your shaker? There are two common methods to consider in establishing your test profile. The first is to run the requirement as spelled out in the MIL-STD-810G specifications. The MIL standards are applicable and easy to use whether the device under test is to be used in a military or civilian application. In addition, many of the test articles are the same, or similar, whether used in a military or civilian environment. The second common method for determining your Sine on Random profile is to record field data, and by using a variety of analysis tools you can establish the test characteristics required to create an applicable test profile. This second method is more complex and the analysis requires substantial tools and skills.
he measurement of real world vehicle emissions is now used to augment emissions measurement by standard laboratory cycle tests for vehicle and engine development. For both light and heavy-duty vehicles, Euro emissions standards require verified measurements to comply with proscribed limits. HORIBA presents its latest on-board emissions measurement system, OBS-ONE, for both certification and R&D under realworld driving conditions. The compact OBS-ONE is a purpose-designed system allowing measurement of exhaust emissions in a considerably expanded operating range and with improved calibration options. OBS-ONE is easy to install in any vehicle and requires up to 50 percent less energy compared with its predecessor.
The modular design of the OBS-ONE comprises a controller, two analyzers, a battery and an exhaust flow meter using pitot tube. OBS-ONE features a gas analyzer unit for CO, CO2, NO, NOx and NO2 (by subtraction). Optionally, an analyzer for THC based on a flame ionization detector (FID) can be added, at any time, enabling determination of total hydrocarbons. The system ensures accurate measurement even under challenging environmental conditions. Batteries can be simply changed during operation and ensure stable operation over long driving distances. Additionally, adjustable post-test data processing and the generation of test reports is possible. Furthermore, OBS-ONE offers comprehensive data protection functions. HORIBA plan to expand OBSONE with particulate mass measurement (PM) and particle number (PN) counting in the near future.
In terms of software, OBS-ONE features the highly adaptable and newly developed HORIBA ONE PLATFORM. This comprehensive and intuitive solution serves to operate and control the system. If required, OBS-ONE can be integrated, on a single display unit, with other measurement devices from HORIBA such as MEXA-ONE or CVSONE.
Mercedes-Benz is teaching autonomous cars how to speak Stuttgart/Berlin. Mercedes-Benz, robotics experts and linguists discuss how people can communicate with autonomous vehicles in the future. Traffic in the city of the future will be largely dominated by cars that drive themselves. Beyond the technical and legal aspects, the automotive manufacturer is therefore looking very closely at social issues in this context. Communication between people and machine intelligence is a key aspect here.
he fact that cars are able to perform more and more tasks autonomously, meaning that they are gradually becoming mobile robots, is now beyond dispute. This will not just lead to changes in motoring itself, however; traffic conditions on the whole will change, too. This is why Mercedes-Benz looks at much more than just the technical issues when developing autonomous cars. Company representatives from the Group Research and Futurology department therefore met with robotics research experts and linguists to discuss the key issues at the second Mercedes-Benz Future Talk: How will we communicate with autonomous cars in the future? Can an autonomous car "wave" a pedestrian over the road? Is the car speaking to me or to the person next to me? And what does "speaking" even mean in this context? Will we have to learn robot grammar or must the car be able to understand us? And how can this language be developed? Should it be intuitive or artificial?
The in-depth discussions between all those attending the Mercedes-Benz Future Talk "Robotics" revealed that there are still many unanswered questions in the field of human-machine interaction. It became clear that robots are much more than humanoids with a human-like appearance or figures from science-fiction films. This is also substantiated by Martina Mara, who conducts research into the psychology of human-robot relationships at Ars Electronica Futurelab: "The tin man, or synthetic human-machine, may be the image we have in our mind when we hear the word 'robot'. In the case of real robots away from the cinema screen, however, there is often only limited acceptance if there are too many similarities with humans." According to Mara, it is more important to make it clear as quickly as possible just how intelligent a robot is, which forms of communication it can master and how it signals what its next steps will be. Alexander Mankowsky, a futurologist at Daimler AG, added: "We see the car that drives itself - the autonomous robot - embedded in the overall picture of future mobility, with humans playing the main role in our vision of the future. The task is to develop a cooperative system in which one or more communication languages are essential to allow interaction between humans and machine intelligence in the dense urban environment." He also thinks that there may even be a robot-language dictionary in the future. According to Mankowsky, calling for people to adapt to the machines should not be the aim by any means in any of the deliberations. It is much more a case of building trust and confidence as human-machine communication gets more and more intensive.
On an everyday level, communication with autonomous vehicles is still new territory. This is why Mercedes-Benz joined forces with Ars Electronica Futurelab to create an "experimentation field" capable of testing various forms of interaction between humans and kinetic robots using prototypes. In a test setting, three interactive quadcopters were hailed, stopped or steered in a certain direction using gesture control or a haptic control object, for instance. This gave an initial idea of what co-existence between humans and autonomous machines could feel like in the shared space of the future. Mercedes-Benz is convinced that what seems a long way off can quickly become a reality, believing that it is essential to develop a shared interaction language to enable functioning social "human-machine cooperation" in the traffic of the future. The automotive manufacturer will continue to work towards this goal.
Mercedes-Benz Future Talk - interdisciplinary dialogue The Future Talk introduced last year by Mercedes-Benz established a new dialogue format and asked the question "How Utopian is the future?". By exchanging ideas with vanguards from various disciplines, the brand shares its visions and, as the inventor of the automobile, demonstrates its expertise in shaping a desirable, mobile future.

Choose the agency with a proven track record of setting up the right systems, research methods, and data-driven discipline to grow products beyond a successful campaign.
On behalf of everyone here at Fuze Card, I want to thank everyone on the Rainfactory Team for helping us launch a very successful campaign. Your support and advice were invaluable to our campaign and we truly appreciate everything that you have done for us. You are one of the most hard-working marketing agencies that we've worked with and we couldn't have done it without your team. In the future, I would like to collaborate with Rainfactory once again.
Rainfactory isn't a service provider, but rather a partner. They have integrated into the fabric of our team and helped us build a comprehensive digital approach, allowing our team to focus on what we do best: develop products. Thank you again for all your hard work throughout this campaign. It's been an incredible ride and we are only just beginning!
Through partnering with Rainfactory, we indeed understand Rainfactory at a deeper level. I have a lot to share regarding our experience.
To put it in short: with the help from Rainfactory, Clazio successfully raised $310k with 2,222 backers. Within the same product category, smart speakers, no one has ever been able to raise over $100k.
Rainfactory's service is professional and effective. Throughout the process, we were able to receive and gain crowdfunding resources, connections, and additional Indiegogo support.
Moving forward, we hope to continue working with Rainfacory for our next crowdfunding campaign to hit the $1 million mark for our next generation product!
It's difficult to describe how important Rainfactory was to our success for our crowdfunding campaign. When we started, we agonized over the need for a company like Rainfactory. We spent months interviewing other marketing consultants, crowdfunding companies and agencies in general.
At the end of the day, we went with Rainfactory because of two reasons: the data-driven approach to everything they do, and the people who work there. The team at Rainfactory worked to make Ping one of the most successful personal GPS campaigns ever.
This team constantly goes above and beyond. Their unwavering belief in the product, understanding of the brand, and expertise in crowdfunding made it a truly remarkable experience. I cannot wait to work with them again soon.
Rainfactory comes with our highest recommendation. They helped us build our website, and paid meticulous attention to detail for the overall design and branding.
We sold over $400,000 in pre-orders, and successfully introduced a new brand to the world. They have been a great partner from start to finish.
Working with Rainfactory has been an excellent experience. We're still running our campaign, but have already raised more than $2.7 million dollars – a truly unprecedented amount of funding. Their professionalism, dedication to our campaign and products, combined with their unique experience in both crowdfunding and beyond, made this process easier than we thought possible!
The Rainfactory team has always been professional, responsive and engaging. They've made sure to prioritize the long-term growth of our company and helped us shape our brand voice through landing pages, campaign copy, ads, social and email marketing. After finishing out a $1.1 million campaign with Rainfactory, we're happy to recommend them to other startups looking to bring their products to market.
Rainfactory has vast experience with crowdfunding campaigns and consumer product launches. The team was meticulous about research and planning of our launch, and provided innovative ideas throughout our engagement. They were very helpful in planning our multichannel strategy, including web, social media, email, and press.
Rainfactory helpled us hit $1 million dollars in a 60-day crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Their dedication, professionalism and strategic decision-making helped us reach our goals. We would highly recommend Rainfactory to other tech hardware companies looking for guidance in running a successful crowdfunding campaign.
After raising over $3.5 million dollars on Indiegogo with Rainfactory's help, we can surely proclaim: Rainfactory really does make it rain! We would highly recommend them to take your crowdfunding campaign to the next level.
Rainfactory has created the best service to work from strategy all the way to execution. They help with everything: value proposition prep, website and crowdfunding campaign design and execution, plus data-driven lead generation, ensuring you have momentum from the get-go for a successful campaign.
Touchjet worked with Rainfactory on our second crowdfunding campaign for the Touchjet WAVE. In the first 24 hours we reached our goal of $100K and within a very short amount of time (72 hours) we actually had 200 backers, largely due to the lead generation efforts by Rainfactory. Most people underestimate the need for marketing and preparation, but I think those are actually the most critical factors for success. I would highly recommend Rainfactory as a campaign agency for people looking to run crowdfunding campaigns.
Rainfactory has performed above and beyond my expectations with unprecedented dedication to driving results. From market research and positioning, to lead generation and customer acquisition, Rainfactory has played an integral role in running our campaign. With over 22,000 mifolds presold to over 9,000 customers across 89 countries, the results speak for themselves. I can't recommend them enough.
More than anything else, I was impressed with Rainfactory's ability to synthesize and plan for each stage of the crowdfunding process (and to walk us through it!). They went above and beyond for our Kickstarter campaign, helping us pull in nearly $500k and 28,000 social media followers. They went above and beyond for our Kickstarter campaign, helping us pull in nearly $500k and 28,000 social media followers. They come with my heartfelt recommendation.
We felt so lucky to have Rainfactory on our team when we launched Luna (now Eight). We had a really successful campaign and are very happy with the results we achieved with their support. They were a source of continuous support in many aspects of the campaign, making recommendations and leading the development and paid acquisition team toward success (over $1 million raised!). It was such a joy to have brought in an external resource that felt like a real team member we could trust and rely on to move the campaign forward.
Rainfactory is incredibly professional in terms of marketing and analyzing data to ensure quality results. With their support we were able to raise $610,000 in 60 days on Indiegogo, gain 3,100 supporters and reach 1 million YouTube video views in 60 days! Remarkable results for sure.
They are a well-experienced agency that provides a definite sense of security through data-driven action. Their methods made Mars as a client feel confident in the success of the project.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rainfactory for any number of their services. Their agile approach facilitates successful campaigns and provides support far beyond what you expect!
The whole team is 'in it to win it' for every client.
The first word I would use to describe Rainfactory is 'outstanding.' Their sense of client service and dedication to achieving results sets them apart as one of the most effective client management and marketing partners with whom I've worked with over my last 25 years in high tech. With their help, Jibo was the #1 Most Funded tech campaign on Indiegogo; we were able to generate $4m in orders across 2 crowdsource campaigns. Simply put, 'outstanding'.
Rainfactory's been featured around the web for our ideas and successes.

Geo Fencing | Why Geofencing.com?
Why Should My Business Use Geofencing?
You don't need us to tell you how overwhelmed the average American is with ads on a daily basis. Since the dot-com burst and the massive amounts of smartphones and other devices hitting the market—we're all bombarded constantly. And, new data shows that consumers are starting to ignore traditional advertising methods.
Using establishing, well-defined boundaries with geofencing, means you can hit your prospects and customers only when it's RELEVANT to them. Your ad is going to be tons more effective if it's shown to them while they're in your place of business, rather than on their couch, scrolling through social media updates and watching Netflix.
It's time for businesses to start taking advantage of this huge opportunity. The more relevant an ad, the more likely it is to convert. We even help our customers tailor the design and creative content shown in the ad to make it as impactful as possible.
So, it's no wonder why some of the world's largest brands have turned to location-based advertising and geofencing marketing practices. It's helped Coca-cola, Starbucks, and even BMW improve their marketing efforts.
The great news is that we help small and mid-size businesses get big results just like the Coca-colas of the world.
Geofencing is an excellent way to build meaningful relationships with your customers and develop a sense of community—weather online or offline—with your prospects and customers.
Younger shoppers are especially keen on this type of relationship—or brand loyalty—and it's important that businesses stay ahead of the curve and implement marketing best practices to create brand loyalty.
For example, you might send a notification to shoppers in your store that you're having a sale, and that all they need to do is like your Facebook page to receive the special discount. Customers that are satisfied with your brand's sense of community are also more likely to talk about your company with their friends and in their social feeds.
Our team of digital advertising and geofencing experts will be able to set up methods for collecting all of the data from your geofencing campaigns—who clicks what, at what time of day, where, how long before they clicked, etc.
We can then analyze this data and use it to help optimize your future ads–both in terms of when and how they're delivered, right down to the ad copy and colors selected for the headlines and buttons.
And we don't stop with one iteration. We'll continuously optimize your campaigns so that you keep getting better and better results.

MLB Playoffs: Rays ALDS Game 1 & Roy Halladay's Gem
Welcome to the postseason. I promised a reader that I would do at least one full day of "liveblogs" of the MLB Divisional Series playoff games, so yesterday found me setting aside a 12-hour block of time to endure such indignities as drinking beer, eating Thai food, drinking iced tea, eating sausages, watching a no-hitter and sitting down. I also typed.
I can't promise that I will do a full day of these again, so let's play ball!
Oh, we can't do that yet. We have to wait. It's time for the absence of analysis couched in vague non-answers and predictions so over-qualified that they declare nothing. This year TBS airs all the divisional games, which means that we open in the TBS studio, with your hosts, Cal Ripken, David Wells, Dennis Eckersley and some other guy who I would like to murder.
Offscreen (I just mistyped that as "offscream"), Cal Ripken hits balls in a batting cage at the edge of the studio. Awesome. He's way too old to play at anything like a major league level, and some boy cowers behind a net throwing him meatball pitches. We might as well be watching your drunk dad potato a bunch of fat, slow lobs for all the heroics on display here.
Here's what I want to know: why can't we do this for politics? As soon as Arnold Schwarzenegger retires, can we just have him off to the side of the MSNBC studio, shirtless, bench-pressing while grunting out general election predictions? He's way past his prime, too, but it wouldn't be any more or less meaningless than what's happening here. I just want to listen to him go, "Gnneeuugh... Ah tink dat when you look at da numbah, it obvious dat Mit Romney is dah real Towminatuh."
Meanwhile, someone must have tranqed the dipsomaniacal human manatee formerly known as David Wells, because someone has put a men's suit on him apparently without his knowledge. Last year he sat in the studio dressed in a brown Members Only jacket like the sort of PG-rated "biker" buddy that MacGyver would occasionally have to bail out of some kind of sticky situation in an episode with lots of backstory. I have no idea how they knocked Wells out, though, but if I had to guess, I'd say they used a large-bore hypodermic needle on a bottle of Evan Williams.
The studio team has been talking about Texas Rangers centerfielder Josh Hamilton wearing a flak jacket to protect his busted ribs, and Wells excitedly says, "Ear flak muffs! Ear flak muffs!" and then confuses himself and falls quiet.
Other people say stupid things, but they're sort of conventionally stupid, so I don't write them down.
RANGERS at RAYS—ALDS GAME ONE
• I'm going to fess up to something right here: I don't think there's any way that the Rays win this game. I know this makes me a bad fan, but I'm going into this game with enormous amounts of dread. The Rays have battered Rangers starter Cliff Lee this season, but those outings seem anomalous. The hammer feels like it has to drop.
That's because, their record aside, this year's Rays team frequently simply disappears for games. Other teams make mistakes; they beat themselves, or their starter stays in too long despite having lousy stuff. The Rays just vanish. Suddenly they swing at every first pitch as if desperate to leave the stadium as soon as possible; or they do the reverse and take every pitch, working the opposing starters and relievers to huge counts, but never swinging at anything, until they're finally forced to make an out due to the inevitable inertia of the game.
The Tampa Bay Rays are the Roanoke Island of baseball teams, a fascinating and inexplicable vanishing act that should otherwise be a tremendous success. Whenever this happens, I expect them to start the top half of any random inning with the field empty and a desperate scrawl of CROATOAN on the infield dirt, written in some split second when no one at home or in the ballpark was looking.
I don't have a solution for this, and it's obvious that neither manager Joe Maddon nor his batting coach do either. In 2008, the Rays lit up the Boston Red Sox and then went to the World Series and were utterly destroyed by Jamie Moyer, a man who is 5,000 years old and looks eerily like Ferris Bueller's dad. This year, they managed to steamroll the Yankees enough times to win the season series, only to have the Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals stomp holy hell on them.
• Our announcers for this game are Don Orsillo and Buck Martinez! Yes!!!! This should be interesting because I'm pretty sure Buck Martinez suffered a massive stroke at some point that turned half of his brain into yogurt. I can't remember ever feeling any animus toward Don Orsillo, so I have a neutral attitude until:
ORSILLO: 2010 has been the year of the pitcher.
People much smarter and with subscriptions to baseball stat sites have pointed out that, aside from the outliers of two perfect games and some no-hitters, offense hasn't declined radically at all. But "year of the pitcher" is the narrative, and people keep hearkening back to Bob Gibson and Denny McLain and 1968. Thus Cliff Lee is liable to throw a no-hitter on the mound, despite being beaten by the Rays twice this season. Okay.
• I'm paraphrasing, but:
MARTINEZ: The Rays will be more prepared for the postseason this time because 2008 prepared them less on the field than off the field: they got used to getting tickets for family and traveling in the postseason.
Martinez managed the Toronto Blue Jays, so it's always theoretically possible that he has some kind of special insight the layperson doesn't. But I'm pretty sure that teams have travel coordinators and front-office personnel in charge of getting comped tickets. Martinez seems to be suggesting that — rather than dominating the ALDS and ALCS and then falling apart at the plate and swinging at crap out of the strike zone and bringing in the horrible Dan Wheeler in high-pressure relief situations — the Rays lost the 2008 World Series because of an institutional failure of travel agency.
• David Price throws 22 pitches: 21 fastballs and one breaking ball. He's already starting to get anxious and hang stuff up about waist-high in the zone.
• The Rays load the bases for Carlos Peña, who is simultaneously the Rays home run leader and also the only starter batting under the Mendoza Line. Peña walks a ton, though, so his plate discipline gets him to a 2-1 count when Lee whizzes the ball near his head for ball three. Except home plate umpire Tim Welke claims that the ball tipped Peña's bat for a foul ball. It's a terrible, terrible call, making the count 2-2 instead of 3-1. Peña strikes out looking on what should have been the 4-2 pitch. What a bunch of fucking bullshit.
• Rocco Baldelli bats after Pena. It's great to see Rocco, because he's sort of a Rays folk hero for being one of their few good hitters back in the lean years and for eventually succumbing to what everyone thought was a bizarre and undiagnosable mitochondrial condition that left him debilitated with fatigue for days after a game. On the other hand, his being in the game feels like the goddamn stupidest decision on the planet, because he started the year as a coach in AA, jumped back into the majors pretty much by accident, then had a grand total of 25 at bats before making the postseason roster and starting in this game. Why is he here? Because of MATCHUPS!
This is one of those anecdotal situations like the thin-slicing examples Malcolm Gladwell describes in his book Blink, which you should under no circumstances read. In it, he tells a story about a faked piece of ancient Greek statuary. According to all kinds of highly technical, microscopic, chemical and other focused scientific tests, experts proclaimed the statuary an authentic work of antiquity. But a few art experts looked at it and instinctively, because of years of expertise looking at ancient Greek artwork, somehow knew it was a fake. Eventually, their instinct was borne out, but at first all they had to go on was years of knowing the way things should be and taking a macro glance and thinking, "On second thought, no."
It works the same way with Baldelli. I'm sure Maddon has studied how he performs against lefties and his previous at-bats against Cliff Lee, then examined the trajectory of most of Lee's fastballs and whether Baldelli has a swing that will optimally strike the ball, and finally he's looked at some new and arcane sabermetricians' stats for Baldelli's performances at the plate. But you know what? Fuck that. The man had 25 at-bats and spent the prior five years on the verge of fucking death. You do not put him in a postseason baseball game.
And this is the problem with Maddon. He becomes so wedded to this minutiae that he becomes tactically myopic. He becomes Tony LaRussa without the Transitions Lenses. And Tony LaRussa is the most horrible manager in the world.
• Jeff Fancoeur doubles off the center field wall. Maybe Price should throw fewer fastballs up in the zone. Maybe don't throw fastballs to Francoeur because every time I've seen him bat, he can't hit anything other than fastballs. Maybe throw some garbage off the plate because he fucking sucks and swings at everything and almost never, ever draws a walk. Maybe I should turn off the TV.
• I miss Kelly Shoppach wearing the striped socks and his pantlegs up high, because he looks like a penguin. It's adorable. Kelly Shoppach is a catching penguin. Everyone should call Kelly Shoppach "The Penguin." Also, when he sports the penguin outfit, he hits grand slams.
• The Rays have had three men in scoring position and four on base. In response, Lee has said, "So fucking what?" and gotten five of six outs via strikeout. Not to be outdone, Price throws another belt-high fastball over the meat of the plate, which Nelson Cruz promptly hits only about 5,000 fucking feet to dead centerfield and off a goddamned restaurant.
• The game is quickly giving way to despair, so I'm rescued by announcer blather!
MARTINEZ: The Molinas, of course: three great catchers, playing in the big leagues. It's unheard of to have that kind of ability in one family.
Bucky's talking about Texas Rangers catcher Bengie Molina, whose brothers José and Yadier also play catcher in the major leagues. All three are pretty good catchers and slow as shit on the basepaths, but Martinez's statement about their familiar uniqueness in baseball is just incredibly wrong. Off the top of my head, here's how unheard of it is to have that kind of baseball ability in one family:
Moises, Matty, Jesús and Felipe Alou
Bobby and Barry Bonds
Roberto and Sandy Alomar Sr. and Jr.
Orlando and Livan Hernandez
Tim and JD Drew
Greg and Mike Maddux
Joe and Phil Niekro
Jared and Jeff Weaver
Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr.
Dom, Vince and Joe DiMaggio
Buck Martinez was a manager, so I presume he's watched baseball kind of a lot. But even if he hadn't, these family stories are pretty common pregame fodder, and some of these people are a little bit famous. Joe DiMaggio is in the Hall of Fame, and he married Marilyn Monroe and wound up in the Simon and Garfunkel song everyone on the planet knows. He played for the Yankees, and his brother, who was pretty darned good, played for their arch-rival, the Boston Red Sox. Barry Bonds is either the greatest or second greatest hitter in the history of baseball. Ken Griffey Jr. is going to the Hall of Fame, and it was a big deal when he and his dad wound up on the same team. Both Niekros are well known in baseball. Lastly, Greg Maddux is probably one of the five greatest pitchers in history, and his brother is the pitching coach for one of the teams in this fucking game.
• Pitching in relief in the top of the 7th inning is the Rays' big trade-deadline acquisition for this year: journeyman reliever Chad Qualls. This is part of the bummer of rooting for the Rays. They have so little payroll that they can't really get any big names at the trade deadline without potentially trading away a great prospect who could turn in several years of low-cost ball. So you wind up getting guys like Chad Qualls. I remember at the deadline writing a bunch of whining and entitled tweets like:
"What are you doing tonight?" "I'm takin' my kid to the ballgame!" "Oh, really?" "Yeah. This is his first chance to get to see Chad Qualls."
Glad the Rays added Chad Qualls. His poise in being a hacky dead fish will help Dan Wheeler figure out how to look distinguished in failure.
Chad Squall: the torrent of impotent and well-deserved tears that comes over someone watching Chad Qualls pitch for a team they like at all.
Wish my dad had taken me to see a player like journeyman middle reliever Chad Qualls. Someone who throws a baseball, wears a uniform, shoes.
But there are two things that I should mention. One, the Rays traded for Chad Qualls at the deadline, gave up no significant prospects, meaning they're still protecting the future of the franchise, and they still beat the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox to win their second American League East title in three years. So I guess I'm a fucking idiot. Two, Chad Qualls comes in and pitches really well, so now I know I am.
• Ben Zobrist hits a home run despite being the last person in the lineup who you'd expect to do so. "Zorilla" injured his back earlier in the season, and Rays wonks suspect that he's never fully healed, which accounts for his power numbers and stolen bases dropping off a fucking cliff. At this point, the nickname Zorilla has to be put in quotation marks because of those power numbers. Still, this is the only scoring the Rays will do, so Rays fans bitching about his disappearance at the plate can thank him for preventing a shutout.
I like Zobrist. He plays every position except pitcher and catcher — make your jokes about his passionate Christianity here — and he does so without complaint. The Christian part also supplies a lot of unintentional comedy. His son is named Zion Benjamin, which is going to saddle the poor little guy with Matrix jokes for his entire life. His wife is a Godawful Christian pop singer, and he supports her by coming to bat to her music. Plus, during rain delays, the Rays' network plays this charmingly hapless profile of him where he's interviewed with his wife. (This isn't it, but you get the idea.) It takes place in this kind of crummy Rooms To Go-living room, where she quickly takes over the discussion, while he looks on with this kind of dopey beta-male "I got to marry one of the pretty ones!" expression. It becomes obvious both that she completely manages his life and that if he weren't making a lot of money in baseball, he might wind up one of those guys back in Tennessee, driving around in a Dodge Dakota, wearing his hair in a rat tail and spending his spare non-church time over-enthusiastically following something like teenage BMX racing. I know this probably sounds mean, but I really do like Ben Zobrist
• Buck Martinez mentions that Joe Maddon has used 129 different lineups in 162 games this year. This again raises the ugly specter of Tony LaRussa-ism. It's also manifestly clear that, even if you batted all of them end to end, Cliff Lee would have owned the shit out of every one today.
REDS at PHILLIES—NLDS GAME ONE: HALLADAY'S GEM
• Your announcers are Brian Anderson on play-by-play, with Joe Simpson doing color commentary. I have no idea who these men are, but during the 7th-9th inning and after the game, everyone in America will want to see them keel-hauled.
• There's little new to write here. If you haven't seen the game, go to a torrent site and download it. Now. You've probably read that Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay threw a no-hitter for only the second time in the history of postseason baseball. He came one walk away from a perfect game. Incredibly, he threw a perfect game earlier in the season, becoming only the 20th man to do that in history. (I looked at Wikipedia's perfect game entry to make sure I got the number of them in history correct, and I discovered this wonderful little illustration of the rarity of the feat: "Over the 135 years of Major League Baseball history, there have been only 20 official perfect games by the current definition. For comparison, more people have orbited the moon than have pitched a Major League Baseball perfect game.")
There's no reason for any of you to believe me, since I imagine a lot of people try to claim prescience after the fact when these things happen, but I started to get the feeling that something was happening after the top of the 3rd inning. Here are my end notes for the tops of the first three innings:
TOP 1st: 1,2,3 inning for Halladay. i get the feeling im gonna type that more than once
TOP 2nd: 123- again
Top 3rd: 123- i dont think hes playing the same game everyone else is playing
Unless you're a baseball fan, it's really difficult to explain the eerie sense of dominance that comes over a game when a player is not only working on a no-hitter but makes it seem like only a pure accident could rob him of it. By the third inning, it started to feel as if, at most, a fielder's slip in the rain to let a ball leak through the infield would stop Halladay from overwhelming the Reds, the best hitting team in the National League. I began writing these unconnected superlatives and weird questions to myself (corrected for grammar):
This is masterful.
Does describing this as the supremacy of his will make him seem like a Pitching Nazi?
Why do baseball writers always make chess metaphors out of these games?
This is like if Kasparov beat Deep Blue so bad it reprogrammed it to show him Russian porn.
And still none of that works: not stated awe, not questioning, not trying to be funny about it. What I saw was simply awesome, in the full sense of the word "awe." It's one of the greatest sporting spectacles I've ever seen — one man, seemingly effortlessly, dominating and outwitting some of the smartest and most talented people at their craft.
• That said, by the bottom of the 7th inning, Anderson and Simpson can't stop saying "no-hitter!" "no-hitter!" "no-hitter!" ad nauseam. I never bought into the old sports superstition that announcers should never say that a pitcher has a no-no going. I think it's silly: at least before and after the commercial break, you should let people who might casually be tuning in know that something pretty amazing is going on. Now, however, I can see the value in not talking about a no-hitter, because once someone starts, it's obviously very hard for them to stop. If I didn't know these two are basically sort of bozos, I would assume they are trying as hard as possible to jinx Roy Halladay. They keep saying, "Halladay is X outs/strikes away from a no-hitter!" and the number of times they've said it in one inning is off the charts.
• One of the announcers mentions that he can't hear anything, because the crowd at Citizen's Bank Park is deafening. (Philly fans: miserable jerks in football, pretty great for baseball.) And it is! I can totally tell it is! But it doesn't sound like it is. Whomever is in charge of mixing the audio for this game is really obviously dampening the crowd sounds, because you can feel the surging white-noise aspects of it but also feel how flattened it is. It's like if someone recorded a tidal wave and then played it for you through a single speaker with the volume, bass and treble turned down. The effect is one of anemic mid-range. I'm turning my surround-sound system up and down to see if it does anything, and the anemia doesn't change. This is really terrible. The Philly crowd should be electric. It should be thundering out of the speakers and washing the announcers out, not vice-versa. Nobody fucking cares about them. Instead it's coming across like hearing the Carlyle Group get rowdy. What the fuck?
• Why is everyone taking the first pitch? This happened in the Rays game as well. Everyone knew that Lee would smoke a fastball down a corner of the plate, and Halladay is doing the same (although his ump's strike zone seems less generous). In the early innings, I can see the value of taking a pitch and hoping to make the pitcher throw more strikes. But the Rays worked the count well against Lee in the first inning, then barely took any swings on the predictable first-pitch strikes in later innings. Somewhat similarly here, the Reds are already getting killed by Halladay, so they have less to lose by swinging; basically, the quick three-pitch outs almost come to the same thing, right? Instead of hoping to work the count against him, why aren't they trying to smack that first pitch back at him? Both the Rays' and Reds' performance feels like a concession, like both teams are handing out first-pitch strikes and just letting themselves get behind in the count again and again and again, surrendering to a force of inevitability.
• Halladay does it! But the announcer blather postgame is fucking unbearable. Anderson and Simpson both try to create extemporaneous poetry, as if they expect to show up on ESPN Films highlight reels or some future edition of Ken Burns' Baseball. Neither seem to realize that this will never happen because (a) they suck, and (b) the game is already over. This should be a fairly easy problem to solve: the game has ended, but you still have broadcast time. Okay. Now, given the fact that a man just pitched an amazing game and achieved a feat that has only happened once before in history, maybe you should just show highlights from the game constantly. Nobody needs to be told how amazing this is; it's amazing to casual viewers. Flash a graphic and show clips. Or, better yet, take a cue from Vin Scully and cut off the announcers' microphones and just play unaltered crowd noise for five minutes. Nobody who likes baseball — i.e. the target audience — would ever complain. Jesus Christ, how does something so purely and elementally appealing as sports get fucked up in such profoundly complicated ways by people who are professionally trained to not fuck up entertainment?
You know what? Just get me out of here. Just get me to the last game. I've been doing this for seven hours now.

After Pregnancy Tweet, Lea Michele's Publicist Says Her Twitter Account Hacked
Bravo—NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images
By Justin Worland
Lea Michele on Friday became the second Glee star to have her Twitter account hacked in as many days.
"Before this gets out to the media, I would like to announce to my fans that I am pregnant #BabyBoy," read a message posted on her Twitter account. But Michele was hacked, the 27-year-old's publicist confirmed to TIME. The publicist, however, did not touch upon the pregnancy question.
Michele's tweet was met with skepticism by many after another Glee star, Chris Colfer, appeared on Thursday to tweet that he had been fired from the popular FOX show. But the show's producers also said that Colfer was a hacking victim.
"We've been alerted that Chris Colfer's Twitter account has been hacked," read a statement to TIME from 20th Century Fox Television. "Rumors of his dismissal from Glee could not be further from the truth. We love Chris and look forward to working with him again this season."

In Toronto, More Dirt Makes for a Cleaner Game
The Blue Jays have installed all-dirt base paths in their home stadium for 2016, which provides a new challenge for the grounds crew

TORONTO—At the end of the third and sixth innings of every game here at Rogers Centre, the "world's fastest grounds crew" reports for duty. Legendary Blue Jays announcer Tom Cheek bestowed that nickname upon the team's groundskeepers decades ago for their ability to emerge from their station beyond the left-field wall, spruce up the infield and sprint back, all in 60 seconds.
With all due respect to the hardworking members of the Blue Jays' grounds crew, they had a bit of an advantage over their counterparts around the league. The infield to which they had to tend comprised four small patches of dirt around the bases and home plate. The rest of the field was covered with artificial turf—a green carpet that doesn't need to be watered, raked or swept.

The social construction of retirement and evolving policy discourse of working longer
- Taylor, Philip, Earl, Catherine
Taylor, Philip; Earl, Catherine
http://doi.org/10.1017/S0047279415000665
This article is concerned with the evolving social construction of older workers and retirement. Evolving and competing 'world-views' from public policy, and social advocacy of productive and vulnerable older workers, are described and critiqued. Contradictions and disjunctions, in terms of public policies aimed at changing employer behaviour towards older workers, are identified. It is argued that present representations of older workers have serious flaws that provide a weak basis for policy development and may not only undermine the prospects for overcoming prejudicial societal attitudes but may in fact strengthen them. It is further argued that sheltering older workers in employment placements will inevitably limit the extent and nature of their participation. Instead, the mainstreaming of their employment is justified, bearing in mind negative attitudes towards ageing. © 2015 Cambridge University Press.

Samantha Rosman, MD, MPH
The Fellowship was an incredible, transformative experience that changed my career trajectory forever. Prior to the fellowship I had little understanding of the inner workings of leadership, minority health, and health policy. After my fellowship training, under Joan's guidance, I felt equipped to create a path focused on leading efforts to address racial/ethnic disparities in health and health care. To this day I credit the Fellowship with my success, and am so thankful that the Commonwealth Fund supported Joan's one-of-a-kind vision to create a cadre of leaders in the field.

The Impact of Early Childhood Education on Health Outcomes
The primary goal of this project was to develop an issue brief for Virginia Commonwealth University Center on Society and Health's Education and Health Initiative reviewing the existing literature on the impact of early childhood education on health outcomes. The secondary goal was to perform a stakeholder analysis to inform issue framing and future advocacy efforts.
Americans with better education live healthier and longer lives. At age 25 those with a college degree will live a decade longer than their peers with a high school diploma. We see the less-educated suffering from chronic diseases and dying at higher rates than the more educated even when adjusted for intelligence, income, socioeconomic status (SES) and other background factors. Poor children start school at a significant disadvantage. Based on early math and reading skills, behavior and health measures, only 48% of poor children are school-ready at age five compared to 75% of their peers from moderate or high-income households. Children who start school ready to learn are more successful throughout their school careers, are less likely to drop out, and more likely earn more and achieve middle class status as adults.
A review of the medical and educational literature was performed to analyze the health outcomes of a wide range of early childhood interventions. Direct interviews with key stakeholders were conducted with: city councilors, state early childhood education commission leaders, community and parent organizations and business leaders.
There is significant data documenting the impact of early childhood education programs on educational and health outcomes. Early childhood education improves school readiness and IQ as well as improves future performance and graduation rates. Health outcomes include decreased child and adult obesity, decreased rates of depression, substance abuse and teen pregnancy, and substantially reduced cardiac risk factors. The stakeholder interviews revealed two main themes: 1) lack of awareness of health impacts of early childhood education across a broad array of stakeholders, 2) importance of focus on early childhood education quality since types and quality of programs vary considerably.
Future Directions:
It is our goal that this analysis of the impact of health outcomes of early childhood education can serve as a powerful advocacy tool. We hope to develop a robust advocacy strategy to broaden access to early childhood education across the country. We believe there are several critical policies that must be put in place to ensure the future health and success of our nation's children. These include: 1.) Support high-quality infant, toddler and preschool education and childcare for all children, especially those most at risk. 2.) Ensure all early childhood programs are of high quality and contain the necessary components to ensure performance and health outcomes 3.) Provide parenting support and education to all families 4.) Support home-visiting programs and parental support groups especially for at-risk families.
