But This One Goes To Eleven
Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on June 12, 2018
When Cory Gearrin is the player of the game, you probably didn't win the game. And that's disappointing and shouldn't have happened. When you give Bum 5 runs you are supposed to win. When your first four hitters go 8 for 16, you are supposed to win. Cory Gearrin getting POTG when all that happens makes no sense….
Anyone going to parade today? I'm counting this one as my number 11. I got 5 SB's, 3 WS and 3 NBA championships. I don't count the ones when I wasn't alive. I didn't count the one the Warriors won in '75, I wasn't watching back then. So, mine go to…..

Nice post. Everyone knows my feelings about Gearrin. He is to the pitching staff what Actionless is to the OF/offense. At least Actionless can play some decent CF.
I am with you on the 11. Having moved to NorCal in '77 (thank you United astares Air Force), those are the ones I count, too.
I watched the postgame last night, and Bum put it all on himself. He said his stuff is good enough to get hitters out and win games, but that he did not execute when it mattered. He wasn't the sharp dominating Bum we have come to know and love in the past, but I think we will see some semblance of that guy, soon.
Just get the W today. One day, one game at a time. The Giants should be throttling the hell outta this team.
Not doing the parade. I love the Warriors, but basketball is just not on the same plateau for me as is baseball, and football. Giants World Series champion parades? Whole different monster, and you bet your ass I was there, and would be for any in the future. I would also attend a Niner parade…
Have any Flappers bought, or have plans to buy, any Warrior championship bling?

Hey we all can't stand Gearrin, Giants must feel the same way,and I'm sure in his mind he's the lame duck pitcher not knowing when their gonna get rid of him,has to be a bad feeling for him being day to day..
willedav said, on June 12, 2018 at 7:47 am
Quick look at games Stratton has a win—Giants have scored 48 runs for him in those 7 Ws. So it's more about what everyone else, hitters and pen behind him, is doing than how good or bad he usually is.
Last outing where he didn't get decision but SF won anyway he went 4innings vs. AZ gave up 7 hits 2 BBs 3 ER.
Giants scored 5 and won. iirc Giants score 5 they usually win for anyone tho it didn't happen yesterday.
mrsprtdude said, on June 12, 2018 at 7:59 am
11 wins for me too Craig! Not a huge parade guy, but regret not flying up for 2010.
Random question but my dad is a huge Red Sox fan, so i keep up on them so i can fill him in when we talk. Anyone know why the Sox ( and most other teams) have played 6 more games then the Yankees? Thas a lot. How many weeks in the 2nd half will the Yankees be playing all 7 days multiple weeks in a row?
willedav said, on June 12, 2018 at 10:04 am
Rainouts/cancelled games I believe.
Monronta&Dyson coughed up yesterday's game.Giants-had the lead 3 different times..
Monronta couldn't throw a strike, Dyson threw to many that got hammered.
dirtnrocksnomo said, on June 12, 2018 at 8:28 am
Longoria blew a chance to drive in some runs in the 1st yesterday too. The club just couldn't get the timely hit. I read somewhere that Gearrin was placed on waivers last week and nobody wanted him so naturally the Giants will hold onto him.
blade3colorado said, on June 12, 2018 at 8:55 am
Dirt, I'm not certain I believe this, but Ken Rosenthal/McCovey Chronicles are reporting . . . wait for it . . . that they were trying to save money on the luxury tax calculation. I know mind boggling. The Giants are apparently counting pennies now toward's being under that threshold.
Per Rosenthal, the Giants are $2 million over the CBT threshold right now. Every time they add a new player to the 40-man roster, their salary obligations increase. Every $100,000 counts at this point. So, that's another reason why we might not see Steven Duggar this year. Any trade the Giants make will require dumping salary. This means they'll very likely have to give up a lot more than usual just to make it work for the receiving team.
Here's the McCovey Chronicles article: https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2018/6/11/17440282/figuring-out-who-the-giants-could-trade-mlb-trade-deadline-2018

chipower9 said, on June 12, 2018 at 10:24 am
Yep. I shared (yesterday?) that the Giants put Gearrin on waivers last week, and everything I read confirms Blade's comment….that they're trying to keep under the luxury tax threshold. Quit being such a fucking tightwad, Charles Johnson (it's easy to talk when it is someone eles's money with which you are wanting to screw around).
By the by, you guys all knew that Evans said this, right?
"Building a [minor league] system has never been our ultimate goal. Our ultimate goal is to have success at the big league level, which a strong system helps with but it doesn't solve."
Consequently, this column is also mind blowing, where it states, "If, as GM Bobby Evans stated, having a strong farm system is not an "ultimate goal", that the goal is to "have success at the big-league level", then the Giants should back up that kind of ridiculous talk by walking the walk. Trade their few minor league assets (OF Heliot Ramos, OF Steven Duggar) this July for Herrera and whoever else they can get. Then let's see some of that big league success instead of the mediocre dreck we've experienced the past four years."
http://thesportsdaily.com/2018/06/11/the-2018-mlb-trade-deadline-what-the-sf-giants-will-do-what-they-should-do/
I almost spit out my morning coffee after reading both of these columns today.
zumiee said, on June 12, 2018 at 10:16 am
That's a great point. If the Giants are truly all in this year. Then be ALL IN. Walk the walk, and not just talk the talk.
Although, I would like to hang onto Ramos. He's very intriguing. And, of course, hang onto Bart.
I am not saying give up on Ramos, but even though he made the top 130 prospects that Zumie shared, the dude is struggling in low A Augusta:
In 229 plate appearances – .228, .306, .369, .675 with five HR, 17 RBI, and 63 Ks to only 18 BB.
dirtnrocksnomo said, on June 12, 2018 at 10:53 am
Ramos is 19 and young for the league as a whole.
That is why I said I am not willing to give up on him, but you would hope the numbers improve, soon. Those numbers, regardless of age, are not 59th prospect in MLB numbers, IMO.
Blade, I saw that too but honestly I don't have a problem with Booby's comments. The Giants farm system has produced starters at 4 of 5 infield positions and contributed to the SP and BP on the current roster. An all-star outfielder would be nice but I think focus on it is irrational at times. What club wouldn't want an one? Regardless, I am more bullish than some regarding position players on the farm right now and can see them contributing soon.
blade3colorado said, on June 12, 2018 at 11:30 am
"An all-star outfielder would be nice but I think focus on it is irrational at times."
Agree. I think you can search the Flap back to day 1, and you'll never find a post from me regarding our inability to produce an "all-star outfielder." The bottom line is what matters to me are play-offs and World Series, where outside of the Yankees or St Louis type club, you wont find a more successful franchise. Besides, we have a pitching advantage at the Phone Park, so I see why the emphasis is on defense and pitching.
dirtnrocksnomo said, on June 12, 2018 at 12:02 pm
It was a general comment not directed at you specifically.
alleykat69 said, on June 12, 2018 at 10:44 am
Twin's rants on Brandon Crawford were legendary:He takes his 1st year and just rips him a new one about "how he will never hit in the bigs and His fielding just mediocre at best"
Hmmm 3 straight GG hitting .338 doesn't get much better then that!
He probably ripped Barry Bonds his rookie year when he only hit .223 as I guy that wouldn't produce either..
Not to psycho-analyze too much, but….TF had a big heart for Latin American ballplayers; he had seen racism against them over the years, and he felt a need to stand up for them in a big way on the blogs, on a constant basis.
I think he saw Crawford as an over-rated honky that had come in, displacing more worthy Latin players. And Craw did struggle for a while in the beginning, after hitting the grandslam in his first game.
The biggest I ever got ripped by TF was whenever I (in his opinion) unfairly dissed a Latin player.
That's only part of the equation, albeit a very, very important part. Related to what you said, is that we had two excellent shortstops, Juan Uribe, the starter and Edgar Renteria, who performed magnificently during the playoffs and World Series. If you recall, in the 2010 World Series, Rentería won the Most Valuable Player Award after he hit game-winning home runs in Game 2 and Game 5. He also had other key hits during the playoffs. Consequently, Twin thought the Giants should have rewarded both or one of them at least . . . Instead, the Giants took a pass on both and they signed with the Dodgers (Uribe) and Reds (Renteria).
djloo27 said, on June 12, 2018 at 11:52 am
He would lay into me any time I would question a Latin player's true age (Feliz, mostly) as if I invented that theory…
YogiBarrister (@Yogi47951368) said, on June 12, 2018 at 12:44 pm
You're misremembering what actually happened. Renteria was the worst NL SS in 2009, and by 2010 could no longer adequately play middle infielder. The Giants were mediocre until he got hurt and Uribe took over at SS.
It's true, he was a team leader with a knack for coming up big in the World Series. If Sandoval hadn't been slumping at the end of the season, Renteria wouldn't have been on the WS roster.
In 2011, same thing with Tejada. He could no longer play SS, so they called up Crawford. They were in first place when they sent Crawford back down and then immediately, the pitching collapsed.
mrsprtdude said, on June 12, 2018 at 11:46 am
If the Giants are really determined to get under the cap they should trade McCutchen.
He isn't helping at all, and the extra cash would solve the issue…His defense is hurting us.
I want CJ to just pay more too, but if we are under the cap the penalties go away for a few years. Many big money teams are doing this (Dodgers Yankess etc) so we can't blame CJ for not just throwing money away. These guys often have this money by making all decisions based on a formula that works for them over time. Not realistic to expect this to be different
An example for me..
My dad always saved and invested and has a secure financially stress free retirement. never waits money. He is very afraid of heights. At 69 years old he was on the roof of his 2 story walnut creek house (years ago before he got Parkinson's). We were talking and I said "dad why are you doing that? You have money. Just pay someone to do it." Dad: "Why do you think i have money!"
I see that point, but the guy is a billionaire. That's a staggering amount of money. A million times a thousand. It blows my mind when I think about it.
It would be interesting to know Johnson better. The Giants ownership group remains clothed in shadows. It would be nice to hear him go before the public and talk about what owning the Giants means to him. I hope it's more than just an investment to him. In fact, I hope it means a LOT more to him than just an investment.
djloo27 said, on June 12, 2018 at 12:04 pm
My father getting to enjoy about one healthy year of retirement and many others who I've know that worked their whole lives and dropped dead way too young put an end to me caring about how little I've saved for my "golden years" which already suck. Morrison knew this at age 25…
"All our lives we sweat and save; Building for a shallow grave"
opps never wastes
It bothered TF that Andres Torres never became a hugely beloved figure in Giants history. And he implied racism from Giants Nation was involved in that. That got some push-back from Flappers, and you all know TF wasn't going to back down; but was only going to double down even more.
I see it more as Torres just had the one strong season, and it takes longer than that to become a beloved figure in baseball.
When the Giants displaced Torres with Pagan, there was no way TF was ever going to warm up to Pagan.
zumiee said, on June 12, 2018 at 12:03 pm
And certainly it's a huge deal that Torres' strong season was 2010, such a magical important season.
But there were so many heroes that season, as there is any championship season. Not everyone's going to get their full due.
There was no GIant that I would rather see at the plate in a big spot in 2010 than Torres.
When he needed the appendectomy during the season in the middle of the night, he didn't even wake a teammate or medical staffer. He just went to the hospital alone. Wonder how BB9's coming along…
Funny, I was just reminiscing about the clinching game 5 line up last night – cast offs and misfits.
C Buster Posey
1B Aubrey Huff*
2B Freddy Sanchez
SS Juan Uribe
3B Pablo Sandoval
LF Pat Burrell
CF Aaron Rowand
RF Nate Schierholtz
P Lincecum
I know they're adding some more plaques this year to that wall of fame outside AT&T.
Wilson is one of 'em. Can't remember the other two…
Torres is on the All Time 21st Century Giants 25 man roster. It's imperative they have a fourth OF who can play all three fields well and contribute with the bat. He could steal a base, switch hit, and was their best defensive OF.
willedav said, on June 12, 2018 at 12:08 pm
Being close to pirates it must have galled Twin to see how writers etc. treated Clemente. I distinctly recall the Giants PA announcer with the deep voice introducing him as "Bob." whoinell from Puerto Rico is named Bob?
Racism endemic to the sport 50s/60s seems so weird these days, that teams even in NL had quotas for how many black players they would carry, like no more than 3-4. It took the Cards of Gibson Flood to get the team to make sure ST hotels in F;orida would not discriminate against black/latin players. Before they refused to play ST it was routine for them to be housed separately other side of tracks and not allowed to eat in team hotel.
Felipe Alou talks a lot about his first stint in minors in Louisiana, a terrible experience for him.
The "Bob" thing was definitely an issue.
Does he look happy about it?
xoot said, on June 12, 2018 at 4:03 pm
that Bob bullshit didn't last long, iirc. Roberto saw to that.
Count me as unimpressed with McCutchen-especially his D. He doesn't seem interested in anything beyond one and done and that is fine with me. That said, he's 10 for his last 24 and the club really needs someone to catch fire and carry them.
They wouldn't bring him back if he batted .400 the rest of the year.
I think he wants to retire as a Pirate…
I just recently watched a video of the Niners' '89 season. So many great players on that team. Did John Taylor ever get his full due? Not really. But he seemed to accept that OK. But clearly he helped Rice have a great career. Teams couldn't just ignore Taylor. He was too good. But Rice was better, and got a lot more of the attention.
And all the offensive and defensive linemen's names that get lost to history. It was a wonderful blast from the past to hear those names again, and see their highlights from that season.
So how badly will the Dodgers crush Bartolo Colon tonight? Colon is a nice story, but being a nice story isn't going to help him tonight.

TF was rightly skeptical about Crawford because his numbers in the minors didn't add up. And he wasn't very good at the plate his first 3 years in SF, either. There are always exceptions to general patterns, and SF is reaping the benefit of that truth with Crawford right now, who is 31 years old and having by far his best season.
And BTW, if you think Gorkys is more likely to be PEDing than Craw, you are a fucking racist!! 😉
I resemble that remark…

Bozo said, on June 12, 2018 at 4:56 pm
If I remember right, when Craw first came up he had minor league stats similar to Robby Thompson's minor league stats. I think most of us were cool with that (not so much Twin, but most of us) the frustrating thing was he was making some rookie mistakes and boneheaded plays in the field, so as a guy known for his glove, it made his poor hitting stand out.
It seems to me that he started turning his batting stats around after Bonds worked with him one spring, does anyone else remember that?
That all sounds accurate (about his fielding, etc.)…and I may remember him working with Bonds.
Shades of Pablo….Muncy will be playing secondbase for the Dodgers tonight. Muncy is only slightly smaller than Pablo.
Flavor said, on June 12, 2018 at 5:07 pm
Gorks is far more likely to be taking PED's than Crawford. That's not even a question….Gorks and Max Muncy are both taking drugs this year, I'd bet a large amount of $$$ on that.
Just trying to bring a little Twinner spirit back!
he's always here my man, he's always here…..whenever I say "man, Twinner would really give it to so and so" I'm thinking of that old fart…
Hunter Pence, congenital spinal disability and all, sure came back this month determined to play hard.
in 525 career at bats, before this year, Gorks had 8 homeruns. This year, 147 at bats, he's got 7. That ain't mother nature come acallin'
maybe he just ate his vegetables, as my 6 year old son said back in 2003. But Gorkys, whose given name is Gustavo I see, is also striking out a lot more this year. Maybe he's just finally cutting loose, like everyone else.
Spinach.
LOL, I guess.
What can you do except LOL?
Stratton and Beede were both first round picks. Ouch.
I swear it's a pattern with this team. Beat the top teams unexpectedly (Nats), and roll-over to the dregs of the league.
We're going from let's sweep to let's split in a fucking hurrry here
lol LUCK
Jeebus! Better lucky than not I guess.
Damm these chumps are feasting on Stratton wtf!! Kick some major ass in Washington only to look like bad new bears in Miami!!
games like this, pitched by guys like Stratton (who sucks) are inevitable. Bum is the key to all this, if he doesn't get his shit together this season is over…
Not feeling this one tonight.
Oh sure, let' mix in a double play with that shitty pitching and inability to get the timely hit. Because…"It's the Giants Way!"
Pablo took the first pitch for a strike, then swung at a pitch a foot outside.
Pence is so bad. He can't hit anymore. WHY IS THIS GUY PLAYING!!?!??
There's about $10 million left on his contract.
10 million is pocket change in today's game
You'd think so; but not in Giants ownership meetings, apparently.
Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall at those meetings?
So as usual the latest Cy Young pitcher against us Trevor Richards who went undrafted and pitched in a independent league for 3 teams Grizzlies,Muttdogs( my favorite) and Grasshoppers is mowing us down, and only Stratton of all guys with the only hit., yikes pretty pathetic..
Oops forgot Longo recent base knock..
apparently he's not taking steroids to improve his IQ….boy, good ol' Twinner woulda really let me have it for that one!

This game is weird. Usually by the end of 7 innings we're already in double figures in SOs. This game? Only 2. No conclusions, but quite weird.
Aaaaaaaaaaand there you go. Wax the cream and shit the dregs.
Strat actually makes it 6. For all those 5 run wins he wears a 3 run loss.

snarkk said, on June 12, 2018 at 7:14 pm
Just like the Giants to start out on the road hot, then lay down.
On the salary cap deal, I told you dudes at the beginning of the year, the cap thing was Prime Directive. Since that colors every move, that's no bueno. Why should we be surprised at this?
This is the team that when asked what he was going to do with the $17 million / year loan stroke freed up because the note was paid off, Baer said use it not for the team, but for the REAL ESTATE project…
Which makes sense if you're not really interested that much n winning baseball, but building a baseball / real estate empire. Instead of paying $17 million for a top line outfielder or pitcher, you can leverage that flow to pay the strokes on around $300 million in loans with the stadium likely as security, to help finance a billion dollar mixed use Mission Rock project…
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/02/13/san-francisco-giants-mixed-use-waterfront-development/
depressing.
Using baseball teams to leverage real estate investment returns is the wave of the future. There was nothing really wrong with the Turner Field stadium in Atlanta, it was only around 20 years old. But, it was in the "wrong" part of town, and the Braves could not leverage it to make money on non-baseball biz. So, they got the local county to basically pay for most of the new stadium 20 miles away from downtown, then self-financed the adjacent mixed used development without public dough so they could reap economic rents on the private piece. Smart, let the taxpayers eat most of the cost of building the magnet that generates your profits on the nearby business which you own in entirety, so your ROI goes way way up. "The stadium itself represents a $672-million public-private partnership with Cobb County; the Braves and others are privately funding The Battery Atlanta development to the tune of $550 million."…

I understand that, Snarkk, and am not surprised, but that doesn't mean that Mr. Tightwad Charles Johnson and his unwillingness to spend cannot piss me off, because it does. And it feels good to bitch about it. It is one of the privileges of being a fan.
At least the Warriors are getting it right. Although their move to SF will piss me off. It's a bitch getting tix here. It's a Bart slog or a $40.00 fee at the crapatorium. It'll be $50.00 in SF. It's mp Wait till it skyrockets for the new joint. Yippee. I haven't been to a game since before the 1st championship.
WS Champs also in Oaktown and lighting up A's 6-2, before rather intimate gathering. Man what a great chance to see them and sit anywhere.
Tony Kemp doesn't look any bigger than Altuve.
Other Kuiper talking OB leaders and OPS.
Don't think you'd hear much about that stat from Duane.
OUTAAAA HEEEERe !!!!!…
Kuip is still up to his old tricks of eating during the post game "wrap".
Why is that part of the radio show less important to over the radio waves civility than in-game?
Nothing like hearing a guy smacking his lips while he talks about his "pick" for player of the game…
Classic passive-aggressive behavior in that situation. Kuiper doesn't like having to do the wrap, and lets it be known.
Passive-aggressive behaviors can be some of the most annoying and infuriating behaviors.

What if you want to explain yourself or convey important information? They have blocked you, so your messages won't reach them in the normal way. Also if you can't see the person offline, the scene gets the worst. That's when this tutorial comes to save the day. Now you can message them even though they have blocked you.
You asked – How? Well, keep reading. There are 4 methods so you may wanna check the table of content from below. So, let's get started with the hacks.
You can revoke the blockage by recreating your WhatsApp account. After this, you can immediately text someone who blocked you on WhatsApp. You can follow the steps given below.
Take up your phone and open WhatsApp on it. Then, hit the three dots on the right-top corner and go to "Settings>> Account".
You can now see an option named "Delete My Account" there. Don't forget to tap on it.
Here, you will have to "choose your country" (or enter the country code) and "type your phone number" into the appropriate fields.
Once you complete all the three steps, "hit the red Delete My Account button". This should do the trick.
Now close WhatsApp and Open it again. Now sign up for your WhatsApp Account just the way you did it the first time.
There you go! You have bypassed the blockage now. You can now text someone who blocked you on WhatsApp.
Caution: When you delete your account, you are erasing all your details on WhatsApp. You will never get your messages back. And, you got kicked out from all the groups too.
If you don't want that to happen, you can follow the other 2 methods given below.
You can't send messages to a public group with all your friends or acquaintances, I know. So ask your close friend to create a WhatsApp group for you. Also tell him/her to add you and that person, whom you want to message as members.
Finally, instruct him to leave the group. Once he does that, only you and that person will be in the group. Every message you send into the group can read by the other only member.
One of the quickest ways on how to text some who blocked you is messaging them offline. You can type the text into your default text messaging app and send it to their number.
Just like WhatsApp, there are some other apps that you can use the phone number as the base of contact. Even if you don't have contacts with them on any other platform, you can try searching the number on it.
That's the four different methods on how to text someone who blocked you on WhatsApp. You can try this method for other social messaging apps too. Tell us in the comment section if it works too.
If i delete my whatsapp account then can i create another WhatsApp account by using my first phone number?
Even if I delete and reinstall also it dnt work. Any other option is there?
Yep, it's not working… After deleting and reinstalling the app, this function doesn't work. Wasted my time and data here. Poor article!
The first technique of sending messages to blocked person does not work even after deleting the whatsapp account permanently and reinstalling it again. It's a fake method.
I had personally tried it.. It's not fake Kumar.

Q: USB Drive - Not able to change file permissions Now, please note that this is a sub-question of my old Changing Ownership: "Operation not permitted" - even as root! question. If you do not want to visit that link or cannot, to sum up, while attempting to use:
sudo chown (...)

To change the ownership of a file inside of a USB drive, it was unsuccessful, as the file had the immutable flag set in its extended attributes. This was the solution that worked, removing the flag via:
sudo chattr -i (Path_To_File)

As this was fixed, I basically put this in the back of my mind where I would remember it in case of repetition of the error. Recently, I was formatting a USB custom, and ran into the same error, except this time, nothing that was suggested to fix said error the previous time, has worked. Here's your command output that I know you all love:
sudo chown david:david ~/USB5/Format/type.cr

Please note that I have checked this command, and neither the (~) general path, nor the specific path work. The following is my output:
Operation Not Permitted

Of course, I have tried the fix from before, and the file does not have the flag. What can I do to fix this?
Suggested answer below:
sudo mkdir /media/flash
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flash -o dmask=000,fmask=111

This just hangs on the second command, I left the computer for over 2 hours, just hanging.
EDIT: Changing to EXT4 Did nothing, same error.

A: You can set up /etc/fstab as a way of configuring drives.  To pick out or identify a specific partition to mount, we can use the partition's UUID, which can be found with blkid
sudo blkid

In order to mount the drive, you need an empty directory.  The user you wish to have access to the files needs access to this directory, including +x:
sudo mkdir /mnt/MyDrive
sudo chown me:me /mnt/MyDrive
sudo chmod 770 /mnt/MyDrive

Where me:me is the user:group string.  On most systems, the first non-root user created at install will have the uid of 1000, and gid of 1000, but you can check /etc/passwd and /etc/group to confirm these numbers match up on your system for the next step.

Now that you know which partition to mount, and you have a place to mount it, work on a new entry in /etc/fstab
UUID=id-without-quotes  /mnt/MyDrive   ext4   defaults,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000

Additional details about /etc/fstab can be found in the Ubuntu Wiki.  The details found in the wiki will help you fine-tune settings, such as auto-mounting when inserted, or setting default umask.  Another interesting option is the users option, which allows non-root users to mount the filesystem.
sudo mount /mnt/MyDrive
sudo umount /mnt/MyDrive

If you need to share these files with other users, create a new group, add all of the users to the group, and then adjust the gid to match the new group's identifier.  You can see other examples of this, such as httpd or nginx using the www-data user/group.

A: I'm using Sparky linux (Debian testing), but I had the same problem and this may work for you.
After trying all the command line suggestions and not having any success, what worked for me was simply using Gparted and formatting the drive to ext4 and then doing a reformat to fat32 again and all is well.
It was kind of strange as I had been using this 16gb Adata USB3 for a couple of years and never had any issues. Hope it works for you.

Marylanders have access to an abundance of water much of the time, and we're accustomed to having water available at the twist of a faucet. U.S. citizens use approximately 205 billion gallons of water a day for household, industrial and agricultural uses. Unlike the dry western areas of the country, in this area we often overlook the importance of conserving water. As our population continues to grow, however, demands on our precious water resources will increase. In order to ensure adequate water resources for our future needs, we must put conservation measures into effect now.
Practicing water conservation on a regular basis can prevent or postpone the building of new water supply infrastructure. When utilities are able to reduce demand, they can frequently extend the life of existing infrastructure, saving their consumers the cost of building or renovating. Conservation can also reduce the amount of water that needs to be processed by wastewater treatment plants, again preserving infrastructure and also reducing the amount of waste discharged to streams and rivers. Finally, sound water use practices can make us more resilient during times of drought, negating the need for mandatory interventions.


Christmas in Spain was the perfect way to end 2018. I went to Spain with my husband and daughter after deciding in the summer that we no longer wanted to waste our time and money buying gifts that were, let's be real … meaningless. We figured out it would be more beneficial to spend our money on creating memories, than on another sweater or gadget that would be purchased, just because.
Spain has a been a dream destination for my daughter since high school since she is pretty fluent in Spanish and loves the culture. My husband and I both enjoy dining on tapas (our favorite restaurant here in Connecticut ironically is Barcleona) and sipping on good wines from Spain so this was also a place we were both excited to visit.
We flew out of JFK with with layovers in Dublin going there and London on the way home.
Seeing that we wanted a place we could stay together as a family, we decided that the Midtown Apartments would be an ideal location (they offer apartments only for people on vacation). It is located in a bustling and walkable area of Barcelona (a plus for the apartments location is that it is directly across from one of the beautiful buildings the famed architect Gaudi designed). I loved the modern industrial décor of the building and the apartment. The apartments have everything you would need from a washer and dryer to dishes/pots/cooking utensils. The living room has a large size TV and surround sound speakers that allow you to play your music through Bluetooth. The bedrooms are comfortable with balconies of city views. The bathrooms are quite spacious and they even have towel warmers. One thing to note about this place is that there are hand towels and bath towels but no wash cloths so if you like to shower with a washcloth, I suggest bringing them.
LUNCH: We had lunch the first day at Levante Bistro… the bistro is charming inside and the food was very good. We especially loved the hummus and lamb meatballs.
BREAKFAST: The 2nd day we ate breakfast at Singular where we enjoyed a café bombon (espresso + condensed milk) drink as well as fresh carrot juice and egg dishes (you will find most breakfast places in Barcelona offers a delectable varied of fresh juices).
BRUNCH: We enjoyed brunch at Alsur Café (our favorite spot for breakfast/brunch food ) … which is a little less than a 10 minute walk right around the corner from the Midtown Apartments. We had a smoothie bowl, oatmeal bowl and again fresh juices. All of which were amazing. Again the fresh juice, which is offered at many eateries, was delicious and refreshing. We sat at a very big table that was more of a community table. We had three lovely ladies join us halfway through our meal. They also have tables for smaller groups of people.
DINNER: A place located right around the corner from the hotel is El Mercat. It has a beautiful bar and bright and open modern farmhouse feel to its decor. A must try if they are on the menu are the peas and the oxtail soup.
We enjoyed a paella at Xiringuito Escriba located right on the water. If the restaurant isn't to busy you MAY be able to get a paella for one but generally the paella's are served in large pans for serving 4-6 people. The hubby and I had the chicken and our daughter the seafood, both of which where really good.
We visited the highly suggested El Nacional which is a destination for eating. It's a restaurant (massive) where you can enjoy multiple areas within it. There are areas dedicated to meats, tapas, seafood and etc. as well as a few bars and even an area for gelato. I have to be honest here. For a place that came so highly recommended we were quite disappointed with our food. The stew wasn't a stew and the meat in it was very dry and had to be sent it back (they took it back without hesitation. top notch service) the chicken dish was really good but none of use really enjoyed the apple dessert. We felt it lacked flavor and spices.
We went to the Gothic quarter of the city (a must visit the first time there and please do wear comfortable walking shoes). There is a plethora of shops and eateries to visit.
While there be sure to visit Gelarto Rosa. The gelato was seriously so good!
(as you can see in the above photo, since we arrived the day after Christmas, many stores were closed as it was a holiday in Spain. The next day they were all open and very busy and bustling with people).
and within the Gothic quarter the plaça sant felip neri … a solemn and quiet area where 42 people where killed in January 1938, mostly children, during a bombing. There are visible dents in the stonework where the bombing took place. You will notice that this area is very quiet, and solemn yet also beautiful and romantic.
Visit the Gaudi House Museum. museum. Which is actually the home of Gaudi, one of Spain's greatest and most respected architects. You will clearly see how important his faith and design was to him.
Speaking of Gaudi, there is one MUST see place when you visit Barcelona. The famous Sagrada Familia. It will be the greatest legacy to Gaudi once it's completed in 2026. I would advise you buy tickets way before had as they do limit the amount of people per day that are able to tour inside Sagrada Família.
The only other place we wanted to see but didn't get a chance to see was the Arc de Triomf. It is surely one place we want to visit once we go back.
Unlike in the United States, when eating out, tipping is not expected. It's not their custom as their pay wage is sufficent compared to the pay scale for servers in U.S.
Restaurants and hotels are kind enough to call taxis if you need to get around so that was nice and surprising.
Traveling later in the year, winter is December – March, but it still doesn't get super cold. Layers are highly recommended.
I hope this guide helps you if Spain is on your bucket list to travel. I truly hope it is.

Economics PhD programs are popular among business-minded graduate students. Those pursuing a PhD in economics typically study current economic theory and policies, as well as the history of important global developments in finance and economics. With this doctorate, candidates are eligible for careers as government analysts, economists, global corporate executives, and other high-level positions in the fields of business and finance. The Ph.D. in economics is especially sensible for students aspiring to a career in economics, finance, or business, and is sometimes completed in combination with a graduate-level business or management degree.
The curriculum of the PhD program in economics involves in-depth study of standard economic policies and trends. Programs vary according to institution, with some colleges offering a particular concentration in topics like post-Keynesian, institutionalist, or feminist economics. Additional specialty areas include development economics, international economics, labor economics, monetary economics, gender economics, comparative economic systems, economic history, and econometrics, among others.
Doctorates usually require intensive research and comprehensive course work, as well as the presentation of a formal dissertation to support students' original research, to complete the program.
Price Theory. This course touches on how supply and demand would factor into competitive markets as well as monopolistic markets, and the potential effects of investing in human and physical capital.
Theory of Income. This class covers the neoclassical growth model, human capital accumulation, and the q-model of investment.
Social Interactions and Inequality. This class goes over how social interaction influences the economy, and topics include social media and discrimination.
Topics in Matching and Market Design. This is a reading-intensive course covering the technical component of marketing design and discussions on what makes interesting marketing strategy.
Public Economics. Taxes are analyzed in this course to determine how the government utilizes taxpayer money on programs like welfare and social security.
Students complete their doctoral degree with a formal dissertation to support their extensive research. For their economics dissertation at Chicago, for example, students are encouraged to consider publishing their dissertation research in professional journals and academic periodicals. Typically, Ph.D.s are awarded only after candidates have completed the dissertation, as well as any additional program-specific requirements, to meet the standards of the granting institution.
Most Ph.D. students in economics are required to incorporate rigorous mathematics and business courses into their curriculum, as being skilled in these subjects in addition to intensive economics training is essential to a successful economics career. Due to the exhaustive requirements in a variety of academic subjects to complete the economics Ph.D., some students are hesitant about whether they can meet these demands. In a field like economics that seems to have countless career opportunities accepting various qualifications, some prospective students may question the necessity of a doctoral degree.
However, students who get a PhD in economics can be sure they are getting a comprehensive and thorough education in this field. Graduates with a doctorate have a much greater chance of moving into a high-level executive position than those who have only completed an undergraduate or master's degree. Upward mobility and job growth are also stable, especially for Ph.D. graduates. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), while economists in general may experience slower-than-average job growth during this decade, job opportunities for individuals with economics Ph.D.s are expected to increase, particularly for those with strong quantitative abilities, analytical skills, and related work experience.
PhDs in economics require diverse prerequisites, intended to demonstrate to the admissions faculty that the candidate has adequate basic knowledge of economics, as well as a dedicated interest in performing research, as this is ultimately what much of their career may entail. A prime candidate for the Ph.D. in economics has a master's degree in economics or a related field, or an undergraduate degree in addition to supplemental course work to satisfy graduate-level requirements, as well as documented research experience or professional experience related to economics. Depending on the granting institution, doctorates usually require an extensive application process, including a minimum GPA, letters of recommendation, a statement of intent, possible competency exams, and entrance interviews and evaluations.
A PhD in economics can open the door to a variety of diverse career options. Economics doctorates provide the skills needed to become economists, analysts, actuaries, political scientists, and even teachers and mathematicians, among others. Graduates are qualified to work in high levels of federal, state, and local government, as well as in financial firms, scientific research organizations, and consulting offices. As skilled economists are needed in nearly every aspect of business and commerce, the demand for knowledgeable professionals is steady, and prospects and salaries are high. Economists averaged an annual salary of $89,450 in May 2010, and jobs in this field are expected to increase 6% by 2020, with increased opportunities for Ph.D. holders, according to the BLS.
U.S. News and World Report As a reputable source for top colleges and universities ranked by program, this resource features information on the best economics graduate programs in the country.
Davidson.edu – Foley blog This web page, containing comprehensive first-hand yet objective information for prospective graduate students, is maintained personally Mark C. Foley, associate professor of economics at Davidson College.
Harvard University Department of Economics Arguably the top economics Ph.D. program in the U.S., this site features an in-depth exploration into the principles and curriculum of this prestigious program.
Economics Ph.D. students, as in any Ph.D. program, should first complete the FAFSA application to explore federal financial aid options. Next, students should research which state-funded and college-specific scholarships are available. Many federal agencies offer stipends for a specified term or research fellowships, depending on the area of study. Students may also be eligible for assistantships through private organizations, as well as merit- and need-based scholarships through the institution awarding the degree.
Federal Direct Stafford Loan. Ph.D. students can find low-interest loans of up to $20,500 and with a 6.8% fixed interest rate per year, through this loan program.
Federal Perkins Loan. As a great loan option for full-time students with an expressed need for financial aid, this aid program distributes an average of $3,500 per academic year at a rate of only 5% interest.
Campus-Based Aid. Schools may decide how to manage their campus-specific financial aid their own way, but most schools also fully participate in the wide variety of federally regulated funding programs.
Is this the right choice for you? Be sure to give yourself ample time to think through your options. If you're comfortable with your final decision, you will be able to clearly see how the benefits outweigh the hardships while you are in the process of pursuing this degree. Ask other Ph.D. students about their own experiences.
Get a head-start on the application. Just as it took some time and effort to contemplate your next move, it will take more time and effort to complete the application process. Get started now, and you'll be glad you did later.
Work instead of study in the meantime. Taking on a Ph.D. program immediately after you finish a previous degree isn't for everyone. Allow yourself to gain some much-needed insight and experience by seeking out a professional opportunity before you start studying again.
Explore your funding options. Organizing your financial aid is key to getting off to a healthy start in the degree process. It is always a good idea to get the financials squared away now, so you don't have to wonder about it later.

Our six schools are responsible for the teaching at the HSG and offer a large number of Bachelor's, Master's and Ph.D. programmes. The members of all of the schools actively advance the research in their field and each school is responsible for at least one Profile Area.
Integrative Education
Our schools provide an holistic and practical education, which extends beyond their own subject area. The largest area of integrative teaching is Economics, where the "School of Management" (SoM), the "School of Economics and Political Science" (SEPS) and the "School of Finance" (SoF) are all active. The "Law School" (LS) is oriented towards Business Law and offers degree programmes where students gain considerable practical experience.
New "School of Computer Science"
The University of St.Gallen founded its School of Computer Science (SCS-HSG) in August 2020. Starting in September 2021, it will offer the first Master's programme in Computer Science. The Bachelor's programme is expected to start in autumn 2022. The establishment of a School of Computer Science as well as the two new study programmes have been initiated by the IT Education Initiative of the Canton of St.Gallen.
The "School of Humanities and Social Sciences" (SHSS) fulfils a special role. It brings together twelve different subject areas from the humanities and social sciences and gives students a broader academic education, targeted to supplement their main programme of study.

Dallas immigration officials have lifted the Jan. 31 deadline for deportation of Olga Zanella to Mexico, allowing the 20-year-old woman another precious week of time to appeal for her rights to remain in America and continue her college education.
That's the word from Dallas immigration advocate Ralph Isenberg who has been working on Zanella's behalf. Isenberg said developments in the case unfolded when Zanella visited her immigration officer on Friday and was told that officials of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Dallas had lifted the Jan. 31 deportation order and extended the deadline until Feb. 4.
In granting the very rare extension Dallas officials seemed to be taking seriously Isenberg's urgent submission last week of new evidence regarding Zanella's ability to cope with abrupt removal to Mexico after living for the past 14 years in America.
Isenberg was notified about Zanella's pending deportation by immigration activists in Seattle who had become familiar with Isenberg's work as he fought last year to secure the return of deported Portland college student Hector Lopez.
Friday evening Isenberg says he talked to Zanella's father by telephone.
Zanella then told Isenberg that she never before had seen her father cry.

Q: Change enum type value Hello I am using a library. It has some options embedded in enum, but i can't figure out how to configure them. The library is called PPRevealSideViewController.
It has a property:
@property (nonatomic, assign) PPRevealSideOptions options;

Here is the enum code:
enum {
    PPRevealSideOptionsNone = 0,
    PPRevealSideOptionsShowShadows = 2 << 1, /// Disable or enable the shadows. Enabled by default
    PPRevealSideOptionsBounceAnimations = 1 << 2, /// Decide if the animations are boucing or not. By default, they are
    PPRevealSideOptionsCloseCompletlyBeforeOpeningNewDirection = 1 << 3, /// Decide if we close completely the old direction, for the new one or not. Set to YES by default
    PPRevealSideOptionsKeepOffsetOnRotation = 1 << 4, /// Keep the same offset when rotating. By default, set to no
    PPRevealSideOptionsResizeSideView = 1 << 5, /// Resize the side view. If set to yes, this disabled the bouncing stuff since the view behind is not large enough to show bouncing correctly. Set to NO by default
};
typedef NSUInteger PPRevealSideOptions;

Thank you very much!

A: obj.options = opt0 | opt1 | ... etc

For example: obj.options = PPRevealSideOptionsBounceAnimations | PPRevealSideOptionsResizeSideView;

A: I made a documentation of this controller for that purpose. Well, my bad, this method is not very highlighted, but does exist :
You can reset an option using - (void) resetOption:(PPRevealSideOptions)option; (behind, it is low level : _options ^= option;)
Or set an option by using - (void) setOption:(PPRevealSideOptions)option. There is even a setOptionS method ;)

Carriera

Inizi e Minor League (MiLB)
Parra si diplomò al liceo Francisco Pulgar della sua città natale, nello stato federato di Zulia, Venezuela. Il 30 agosto 2004, all'età di 17 anni, Parra firmò un contratto con gli Arizona Diamondbacks. Iniziò a giocare nel 2006 nella Pioneer League della classe Rookie.

Nel 2007 giocò quasi interamente nella classe A e partecipò alle prime partite nella classe A-avanzata.

Nel 2008 militò nella classe A-avanzata e nella Doppia-A. Iniziò la stagione 2009 nella Doppia-A.

Major League (MLB)
Parra debuttò nella MLB il 13 maggio 2009, al Chase Field di Phoenix contro i Cincinnati Reds. Proprio nella partita d'esordio nel suo primo turno di battuta, batté come sua prima valida un fuoricampo, diventando il 100º giocatore della storia della MLB a riuscire nell'impresa. Venne nominato esordiente del mese di maggio. Concluse la stagione con 120 partite disputate nella MLB e 29 presenze nella minor league, tutte nella Doppia-A.

Al termine della stagione regolare 2011, partecipò nel suo primo post stagione alle Division Series, dove i D-backs venne eliminati dai Brewers per 3-2. Sempre nel 2011, venne premiato con il suo primo Guanto d'oro come esterno sinistro.

Nel 2013, vinse il suo secondo guanto d'oro e venne premiato come "Overall Defensive Players of the Year" oltre che "Defensive Player of the Year".

Il 31 luglio 2014, i Diamondbacks scambiarono Parra con i Milwaukee Brewers per Anthony Banda e Mitch Haniger.

Il 31 luglio 2015, i Brewers scambiarono Parra con i Baltimore Orioles per Zach Davies. Divenne free agent a stagione conclusa.

Il 19 gennaio 2016, Parra firmò un contratto triennale con i Colorado Rockies, con cui rimase tuttavia per due stagioni, poiché i Rockies declinarono l'opzione del 2019, pagando 1.5 milioni al giocatore, e lo resero free agent in anticipo.

Il 14 febbraio 2019, Parra firmò con i San Francisco Giants. Divenne free agent il 7 maggio.

Il 9 maggio 2019, firmò con i Washington Nationals. Durante il periodo trascorso con i Nationals, su suggerimento dei suoi figli, Parra cambiò la sua musica d'ingresso in campo con la popolare canzone per bambini Baby Shark. Questa scelta venne molto apprezzata dalla folla di tifosi che nella seconda parte della stagione iniziò a cantarla e ballarla sugli spalti, ogni volta che Parra veniva chiamato alla battuta. La "shark dance" venne utilizzata costantemente dai tifosi anche nel post stagione, dove Parra venne schierato una sola volta in difesa, ma apparve come battitore in più occasioni. Al termine delle World Series, Parra e la sua franchigia divennero campioni per la prima volta.

Nippon Pro Baseball (NPB)
Il 20 novembre 2019, Parra firmò un contratto valido un anno con gli Yomiuri Giants della Nippon Professional Baseball. Divenne free agent il 2 dicembre 2020.

Ritorno in Nord America
Il 3 febbraio 2021, Parra firmò un contratto di minor league con i Washington Nationals con un invito allo Spring Training incluso.

Nazionale
Parra venne convocato dalla nazionale venezuelana per partecipare al World Baseball Classic 2009 e all'edizione 2013.

What's your call for October?


Yet another week flying by. I was hoping to write this post yesterday, but you know the last thing I want to do when I'm trying not to throw up in the morning – write a blog post about delicious pizza.
I've had a box of King Arthur Gluten Free Bread & Pizza Mix in my pantry for months, and I decided to finally use it this week.
I picked up a ball of local mozzarella cheese at the farmer's market and perused Pinterest for recipe ideas. Then I remembered the nearly empty jar of pesto in my fridge and decided to keep it simple.
I prepared the crust according to the pizza crust instructions on the box. NOTE: If you use this mix, give yourself plenty of time! This crust has to rise TWICE for a total of an hour of prep time before you're ready to bake.
It should be said too that this crust is a sticky mess! I used plenty of olive oil to pat it out with my fingers, but you will definitely be amazed by how sticky it is. Just keep at it and use your fingers to spread the dough on your pan.
Once I had pre-baked the crust, it was ready to top! I spread the pesto on the crust and scattered the thinly sliced mozzarella, leaving a bit of space in between for melting. I baked the topped pizza for 8 minutes, or until I noticed the edges browning and the cheese had melted.
Done! Fresh baked gluten free pizza!
Parrish and I were both impressed with the crust itself. It was thick and chewy with pockets of olive oil.
If you have access to local, FRESH mozzarella you should definitely try it on a pizza. Yes, it can be a bit more expensive that shreds from the grocery store BUT it's TOTALLY worth it!
This topping combination is definitely a favorite. I love pepperoni but there is something about a white pizza!
I have a lunch meeting outside of work today, so I'm enjoying a little extra time at home before I have to go in. Which includes a little update for you guys!
Roasted Spaghetti Squash topped with Classico Sweet Basil Marinara, Cabot Mozzarella Cheese, and DELICIOUS beefy meatballs. On the side, a few slices of Imagine That Gluten Free baguette.
Once again I snagged the last baguette at the Durham Farmer's Market. Lucky me – I love that bread!
Super cozy maternity jeans from H&M!
Because when I woke up Sunday morning, Baby Ravelli had popped!
The jeans (and one pair of shorts) are the only item of maternity clothing I currently own, so I was more than excited when my amazing MIL treated me to a mini shopping spree online at Pink Blush Maternity Sunday morning.
I can't wait until that box gets here!
The third thing I'm loving lately will come as no surprise: ZUMBA!
I am SO excited that my favorite teacher Lu is back from Maternity Leave. Never in my life have I met a woman like Lu. She has the most amazing smile and energy. When you dance, even if you're huffing and puffing, you can't help but be happy.
I did end up having to modify a few of the moves. Jumping is totally out of the question – nope – that does not feel good. I also had to take a bathroom break halfway through….so that was new. But even though it was modified, I still had a blast!
I also have a few new-to-me workouts planned for the rest of the week. I love mixing things up – especially since running isn't exactly comfortable right now.
What about you? What are you loving lately?

High Court rules for flood control district
In good news for local jurisdictions, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled today that 'the flow of water from an improved portion of a navigable waterway into an unimproved portion of the same waterway does not qualify as a 'discharge of a pollutant'' under the Clean Water Act (Los Angeles County Flood Control District v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. et al.).
In Los Angeles County Flood Control District v. Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the NRDC alleges that discharges from the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) resulted in pollutant exceedances in four rivers in Southern California. A U.S. district court found that the NRDC did not present evidence sufficient to prove that the county's MS4 was responsible for the pollution. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit overruled the district court, finding that readings at the county's self-monitoring stations revealed persistent violations of the county's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
According to the 9th circuit, evidence showed that monitoring stations for two of the rivers (the Los Angeles and the San Gabriel) are located in a channelized portion of the MS4 owned and operated by the District and after stormwater known to contain pollutant exceedances passes through the monitoring stations, it is discharged into the two rivers. When the pollutants were detected, they had not yet exited the point source (the concrete channels of the MS4) into navigable waters. The District claims that the infrastructure of the MS4 does not generate or discharge pollutants—it just conveys the stormwater that contains the pollutants. The Court said that because the District holds the permit for the MS4, it has the legal authority to hold dischargers to the MS4 accountable for their contributions of pollutants and flows through such things as ordinances, permits, contracts, and model programs.
The Supreme Court disagreed with the 9th circuit ruling, citing the South Fla. Water Management District v. Miccosukee Tribe decision in which the High Court ruled that pumping polluted water from one part of a water body into another of the same body is not a discharge of pollutants under the CWA. According to the Court, it follows from Miccosukee that no discharge of pollutants occurs when water, rather than being removed and then returned to a water body, simply flows from one portion of the water body to another.
