MLB Issues Three-Game Suspension To Cubs' Keegan Thompson
By Anthony Franco | April 11, 2022 at 5:28pm CDT
Major League Baseball announced this afternoon that Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson has been suspended three games and fined an undisclosed amount "for intentionally hitting Andrew McCutchen … with a pitch during the top of the eighth inning of Saturday afternoon's game at Wrigley Field."
Chicago manager David Ross has also been suspended one game and fined for Thompson's actions, as is customary. Ross will serve his ban tomorrow afternoon and miss Chicago's upcoming game with the Pirates. Thompson's suspension is set to go into effect tomorrow as well, but unlike Ross, he has the right to appeal.
The Cubs and Brewers traded hit batsmen on Thursday. Milwaukee pitching hit three Cubs players during the early stages of Saturday's contest. After Milwaukee's Trevor Gott hit Ian Happ, Thompson faced McCutchen with no one on base in a 9-0 game. His 1-1 offering was well inside and went to the backstop; on the next pitch, Thompson plunked the veteran outfielder. The benches cleared, although there was little more than barbs traded on each side. Home plate umpire Lance Barksdale ejected Thompson.
In the following inning, Cubs righty Ethan Roberts hit Milwaukee's Christian Yelich. That pitch was a 1-2 slider that clipped the left-handed hitter in the back foot, though, and Roberts remained in the game to record the final three outs.

Seems pretty standard. Basically any team would have done the same, but feel free to base your personality on being against the cubs

You get one shot. If you miss that's on you. There aren't any mulligans in this situation. Be better. Hit the guy the first time and that's that.
Don't quote the Cutch because you heard him say this. He's wrong.
The most famous plunking took out ARod on the 4th inside pitch and it came close to his head.

I'd love to see a hitter swing, but "accidentally" lose his grip on the bat at any additional attempts at an intentional beaning. These pitchers face no actual threat or punishment for throwing at hitters; love to see them get a taste of their own medicine and see how they like it
rememberthecoop
Yeah, having the balls to stick up for your teammates is #Cubs. Meanwhile, are you 10 years old or something? Just worry about the fact that half of your team has too many ow'ees to stay on the field.

Same ol' geriatric-fart White Sox_Fan. You forgot to block me when you changed your name…lol. I was missing already your stupidities, since nobody comment about your White Sucks, because nobody cares about them. Let's see if you want to return to be a Cubs fan when the Sucks move to Las Vegas.

Lot more history to this story. He didn't hit mccutchen in the head so seems like a pretty normal beanball situation.
It was the fact that he tried to hit him twice. If he would have hit him with the first throw, there'd be no suspension imo. Throwing at him twice is too obvious
raisinsss
Maybe it's just me, but I'd take 10 intentional beanings to the legs/torso over 1 unintentional to the face.
Mets had 2-3 of those vs the Nats. What's the appropriate response to that?
natxandria
I think the difference in that situation is that the nationals can legitimately argue that their relievers are so bad that those HBP had to have been unintentional.
Sure. And I understand that intent matters. But what do you do when you keep unintentionally getting hit in the face due to lack of skill? Is there any recourse? Do you just have to keep taking it?
Retaliation would definitely be met with the charade of outrage and suspensions and what have you. Besides, hitting a guy in the ass is absolutely no comparison to a fastball to the mouth.
Personally, I'd propose a rule that says hitting a guy in the head is an immediate ejection and automatic 10 game suspension, with escalation for repeat offenders and no appeal rights. Intent doesn't matter when you're putting someone's career in jeopardy (i.e. Kirby Puckett, etc.). If you're bad at pitching, don't put other people in danger for it. Either get better or don't come inside.
And if he missed the second time then he should have gone for three. These are major league pitchers; get them under control or get them off the mound. You can't keep hitting guys and expect no retaliation.
I have a feeling he didn't care about it being obvious. Not hit in the head=playground justice.

A beanball is when you hit someone in the head (AKA the "bean"). This wasn't a beanball.

Total BS. Keegan Thompson gets suspended but the Brewers don't get any punishment. They hit the cubs 3 times yesterday. Warnings should've been issued after Contreras was hit for the 2nd time in the series.
Jgwi2az
Does it really have to be explained to you that it matters if it's intentional or not. The Cubs hit Mccutchin on purpose. The others weren't. Did you see how Contreras leans over the inside of the plate.
Cmurphy
Suter hit Willson in his upper back, it's not like he clipped him inside. He doesn't stand that close to the plate anymore. He definitely did last season/
The Baseball Fan (Doesn't like the White Sox)
Meh, it's bad pitchers constantly trying to pitch inside (unsuccessfully) against the Cubs. If the umpires aren't going to protect the players, someone else needs to, even if that means taking a suspension.
Rizzo use to stand in the strike zone and get away with it.
1975Reds
And how many times did he get plunked?
louwhitakerisahofer
20+ per year since 2015 (minus 2020). Already doinked twice this year.
He's not complaining, it's part of his game.
Doesn't matter if pitches are intentionally thrown or not…when one team is hitting batters at an excessive amount they will be given a warning…that is just a reasonable way to control it…yes the Brewers should have been warned
bcjd
It absolutely matters if it was intentional or not, because that's the rule in the rule book. When there's an accidental HBP, the batter takes the base. When there's an intentional HBP, the batter takes the base and the pitcher is tossed. Intent is exactly what the rule requires.
Lol you misinterpreted that completely…I understand the rules…but when one team is excessively hitting the other team that team should receive a warning…therefore the other team doesn't have to retaliate because the umps are doing it for them
Huh? Like a warning is going to suddenly improve the pitcher's control. I mean, the pitcher isn't gonna be like well, we've been warned, now I need to stop unintentionally hitting people. It's not super complex.
Cosmo2
Well, a warning might tell a pitcher to be careful about pitching inside. Puts them BBC at a disadvantage
jollycharliegrimm
The batter has the right to stand in the BATTER'S box. If the pitcher is throwing the ball in the batter's box area, technically they are throwing at the batter.
militarycookies
How do you know the Brewers weren't hitting the Cubs on purpose?
You don't know whether the Brewers were hitting the Cubs players on purpose.
Sometimes you don't know if they are, I guess. But they're probably not doing it on purpose in many cases. But when they ARE doing it on purpose you generally know it. Generally pitchers don't hit batters on purpose unless in retaliation for something.
Dunk Dunkington
Thompson was clearly trying to hit Mccutchen and not fooling anybody, it was a easy call..
This is coming from a Cubs fan.
drasco036
It annoys me that players, in the age of "protecting the players", still have to police the game and retaliate. The umpiring crew should have nipped this in the bud the first game when Contreras got hit knowing that there is a history between the Cubs and Brewers, specifically Contreras and the Brewers. Contreras has been hit something like 12 times against the Brewers since 2020… 12 times in 32 games… and I'm sure Contreras hasn't played in all 32 of those games. It's ridiculous if he "crowds the plate" or not.
All Yellon
As always, we await developments.
SpendNuttinWinNuttin
Literally makes total sense
captainsalty
3 guys get hit you kind of have to respond. Nothing much to see here, just baseball players doing baseball player stuff. Take the couple days off and get back to it
afsooner02
It'll be appealed and reduced to 2 games. Really not that big a deal since RP don't pitch every day anyway.
Brewers took more of a L. They're 1-3 vs terrible teams and can't hit or pitch so far.
bootsday29
Why no Brewer suspensions? Hit Happ and others. They always throw at Contreras. It's bs.
Those will be coming—you can't tell me sometime in the next 16 games more Cubs players aren't going to get plunked. The best thing about this is now the Brewers will be forced to change their pitching philosophy against the Cubs since one errant inside pitch may be seen as intentional and the tables will turn.
It's a long, long, long season.
Agreed mike127…the Brewers should be punished further if they continue to hits cubs batters…it really does affect their approach to the cubs now…or at least should
I really don't think it will (nor should it) affect their approach, but now, with the history and early season stuff it does open the door to a pitch just little too inside by Burnes or Woodruff leading to a quick hook and then potential suspension.
Unfortunately, they are already at the point where even the most unintentional of pitches will raise the radar.
Exactly…that's why it should change their approach…if they don't then they risk losing a starter or whoever hits who…the point is that the Brewers should be warned immediately and therefore will have to change their approach…if they don't that is on them but they risk suspension
jorge78
Why don't these idiot pitchers do the right thing and hit a batter (if they must because of stupid "unwritten rules") with a slow knuckleball? Tony Coniglario anyone? Those hard thrown missiles can seriously hurt or kill. Got a beef? Challenge you amor to a mano a mano fight! Don't be gutless.
Oh, and suspend both managers a month, not a day.
Maybe the managers will then be scared straight and keep their players in line. This is not hockey, violence has no place in baseball. Most of all, who will think of the children!!??
desertbull
You mad, bro?
fsrasmd
Stupid decision. Apparently the Brewers can hit anybody they want but when a team tries to protect their own because the umps and MLB won't police the offending team, then we get bad decisions like this. Thanks, MLB. You continue to disappoint.
Yes, the Brewers can ACCIDENTALLY hit a Cub without penalty. However the Cubs got penalized for INTENTIONALLY hitting a Brewer. Pretty important distinction.
donopolis
Contreras is being hit intentionally. Probably not every single time, but it is still happening with intent some of the time. The probability that it is him every single time is too great to not be intentional.
Priggs89
You can count on one hand the amount of times he has actually tried to move out of the way on all these beanings. The guy refuses to back off the plate, and he refuses to make an effort to get out of the way. What do you expect? You want the Brewers to just stop throwing inside to him?
And why do you believe the Brewers are intentionally throwing at Contreras? What reason makes sense in your head? It's certainly not because they're afraid to pitch to him ala Barry Bonds. Maybe they think it's funny triggering the biggest crybaby in the game? I literally can't think of another reason why they'd keep throwing at him on purpose.
Tony Conigliaro, that is…..
Yankee Clipper
Man, come on. Talk about action & excitement in sports & one of the most integral aspects you remove. Ridiculous…
jimbob
Those 3 games could be the difference between the Cubs making the playoffs and falling agonizingly short. Lol.
He got hit in the wallet, don't know what he's so upset about. He had to know it was coming, he's been in the majors long enough.
jessaumodesto
It's about time
dodger1958
Should be fine of three games and missing 15 games (three starts).
So the team that hit four batters gets no suspensions.
Seems legit
whyhayzee
Why doesn't baseball just institute an intentional hit batsman rule? Avoid all this messy possible injury stuff. There. Problem solved. Honestly, this rule stuff is simple.
There is an intentional hit batsman rule: batter takes the base and pitcher is ejected.
What else did you have in mind?
Automatic hit batsman rule: the pitcher motions to the umpire and says something like, "I'm obligated to hit him with a fastball but I don't want to commit assault so can we just say I hit him and give him the base? Like we do with intentional walks."
The second one. I was being sarcastic.
My opinion is anything HBP above the elbow should be two bases and an immediate ejection of the pitcher.
Contreras has been hit 15 times in his career by the Brewers, including twice this year already. The umpires don't do anything, and when the Cubs police it themselves, they are the ones that get ejected. To make matters worse, whenever 1 Brewer hitter gets hit by Cubs pitching, they cry about it endlessly during or after the game. I don't even like the Cubs, and I actually DO like the Brewers, but this entire situation has been such a crock of S***.
Winslow Leach
Isn't this guy on SNL?
Instead of this endlessly ambiguous nonsense of retaliation, I think these would be reasonable rules:
If a batter is hit anywhere below the shoulders or the upper back, he takes his base. That's it.
If the HBP is anywhere near the head — from the shoulders, upper back and higher — the pitcher is ejected, intentional or not. If your control is that bad, you're a danger to opposing players. Sit down. You're responsible for your incompetence.
If a pitcher hits a batsman after he homered in the previous at-bat, the pitcher is ejected. Intent doesn't matter. Umpires aren't psychologists or mind readers and shouldn't have to pretend to be. The pitcher's intent is assumed, whether he intended it or not. If you didn't intend it, pitch better next time.
Retaliation is stupid and dangerous. It's time for MLB to grow up and eliminate it.
pfunknut
Contreras should have served some time as well. He didn't even move his glove.
TNCubbie
I would imagine something was said, some face or gesture made by the Brewers that made the Cubs feel like the HBP were intentional. Since no one at home or in the stands(and umpires for that matter) see nor hear everything taking place on the field, it's hard to say with any real certainties. Ya know like an under-the-breath remark from the catcher to let the batter know that if he ends up wearing it, it was because he wanted him to. Lord knows I said that many occasions to a batter., always using the word "IF" so the home plate umpire couldn't say much. If i hadn't said anything but knew that ball was not the pitch I called, when the batter turned and looked at me, I would just grin big. My point is we just may not always see what made one team feel retribution was in order. Fully well knowing that suspension and fines would be handed out most of the time you can bet money the team felt justified in their actions. And honestly, if a manager has a pitcher missing on the inside and he has missed and hit two and he doesn't remove him then it makes the situation intentional, and at the very least willing to risk player injury and not caring both deserve an "I'll see you and raise you one". Its the NL so I say wait till the pitcher gets up to bat and give him a taste of his own medicine.
That kid Thompson earned his way to be a MLB pitcher. Ross, as a former MLB catcher had to urged him to plank somebody. Everyone knows about McCuthen's theatrics, therefore had to be to him. If it weren't a Ross' demand, he would had sent the pitching coach to talk to Thompson after the first attempt. I am 150% with Ross and Keegan. If you are to retaliate for a fellow team member, it has to be if the opposite team intentionally hit your pitcher or catcher. Ross and Keegan did it ok, in my opinion.
Agorolm–perfectly stated….in terms of unwritten baseball rules it was done as well as possible. Couple of things—Thompson had already gone 2.2 innings….the Cubs were ahead 9-0…a runner on base with two outs was not going to jeopardize anything…..it was the inning after Happ (third Cubs player hit) was hit and had to be removed from the game. Ross knew he was bringing in Ethan Roberts for his major league debut in the ninth and he certainly wouldn't want him to do it (although he did hit Yelich with a two strike curveball in the dirt).
And, let's not forget—Thompson was NOT immediately ejected….it took a huddle of all four umpires to make the call The home plate ump did not see intent at the time of the pitch.
AlwaysPickedLast
Contreras Crowds the plate and can hit the outer zones very well. The Brewers pitch him inside to avoid his bat. He also keeps his padded elbow over the plate, not much to do to avoid hitting him in those situations.
Since 2020 Contreras has been hit a grand total of 28 times, 12 of those times came against the Brewers so apparently other teams seem to avoid hitting Contreras just fine.
24 starts against the Brewers, hit 12 times.
222 games against the field 16 times.
Brewers pitchers hit Contreras 50% of the games they play
The rest of the league 7%
Has anyone been ejected for a curve ball plunking? If he threw at the head but with a curve ball and connected would he have been ejected and could they have said it was intentional or would the old "curve ball" excuse saved him.
Punishment was extreme for the circumstances. They should have gotten Yelich though.
msqboxer
Bottom line is that it's part of the game…simple rule change that would be justified is if the batter hit is injured on a pitch deemed intentional, the opposing pitcher and catcher must serve the same amount of time on the injury list.
hyraxwithaflamethrower
Except for the majority of plunkings just leave a little bruise and no time is missed. Plus, there's a big difference between a pitch that honestly gets away from a guy and throwing at someone intentionally. The latter is worse from a moral standpoint, regardless of whether the hitter gets nailed or not.
Sorry, read your post too fast and missed the word intentional. I still disagree with your proposed punishment, because plunking a guy on the butt or back is not likely to make him miss time, so the pitcher and catcher would get off penalty-free in your scenario. I don't think they should. I can agree with the punishment depending on the severity of the infraction (including any injury), but I don't think it ought to be a game-for-game.
Jeremy320
Cubs crowd the plate excessively. Everybody hits them accidentally. Cub pitchers have to retaliate and get suspended. It's been the Cubbie game plan for a few years now.
It appears the rest of the league is growing tired of this game plan and suspensions to Cubs pitchers are getting longer and rapidly and liberally disseminated.
That is a empty opinion stated as a fact without a shred of evidence.
The evidence and stats were broken out and displayed ad naseum in 2019, 2020 and 2021. At this point "the cubs crowd the plate and get hit by everybody" is scripture. The suspensions have been increasing on them that's easy enough to just read. It's not a safe tactic the cubbies are engaged in as it puts players at risk of injury so I understand why the league is disseminating suspensions to Chi.
SharksFan91
Contreras (like other Cubs batters) constantly hang out over or near the plate. Rizzo was the same way. So obviously Contreras is often hit along with he refuses to move on inside pitches. Remove that piece of armor on his left arm and I bet he backs off the plate a bit after getting hit a few times.
Another part of the problem is there are more & more throwers than pitchers on the mound over the past couple of decades.

Q: Writing a charArray in a socket does not work I want to send a simple charArray via a socket, from a Java application.
My problem is that without adding an '\n' at the end of a charArray, the writing doesn't work.
Do I have to add this '\n' or is there a more elegant solution?
Here is my code:
public class ClientThread extends Thread  {
    private static final String TAG = "ClientThread";

    private Socket socket = null;
    private BufferedWriter outputStream = null;
    private BlockingQueue<Message> queue = null;

    private static final int SERVERPORT = 8080;
    private static final String SERVER_IP = "localhost";

    public ClientThread(BlockingQueue<Message> queue) {
        this.queue = queue;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(SERVER_IP);

            //send a request to connect to the server is listening on machine 'localhost', port 8080
            socket = new Socket(serverAddr, SERVERPORT);

            //create output stream to send data to the server
            outputStream = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()));

            while(socket.isConnected()) {
                //write message to socket
                char[] test = {'t', 'e', 's', 't'};

                for(int i=0; i<test.length; i++) {
                    outputStream.write(test[i]);
                }
                outputStream.write("\n"); //does not work without this line
                outputStream.flush();
            }
        } catch (UnknownHostException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}

A: You have not said what is reading your socket, but given that it is port 8080, I imagine it could be a web server and what you are sending is not a valid HTTP request. I don't know what response you are expecting or how you are determining if the message has been received, but again, I imagine it might be some debug logging of some sort. If the recipient is some server that you have written, perhaps you are reading the message with some method that expects a new-line.
The flush() method call should be sufficient to send the message. A new-line is certainly not required by IP which is a binary protocol and doesn't know about lines of text.
But probably whatever is reading your socket is waiting for a new-line before it decides to display your message.

A: It seems to me you are using many things that you don't fully understand
OutputStreamWriter
OutputStreamWriter is used for specifying the text format you want your output to be in. But since you have not filled in this parameter, you will get whatever the platform's default is (do you know what it is? If so, why not just enter it in the constructor?)
BufferedWriter
Buffers are useful for inefficient reading and writing. Inefficient means reading line by line rather than gobbling bytes as fast as possible. For writers, it means waiting to send data to an output. Is this what you want?
In any case adding the new line character shouldn't be necessary. Flush() should do the trick. But if \n is necessary, it means on the server side it is waiting for this character (probably using BufferedReader.readLine())
All that said, I'd advise you to start with PrintStream (you probably don't need a Writer if you're not specifying text encoding) and go from there.

Timothy Sherwood, UC Santa Barbara, "Computing, Fast and Slow"
Oct 7, 2019 3:30 - 4:30 pm
Computer Architecture as a field is more than just the incremental pursuit of faster processors – it can include the search for fundamentally new approaches to computing that better serve the needs of humanity. One area where the gap between "better" and "faster" remains large is in supporting absolutely critical computations in the face of adversaries (e.g. handling finances, flying a plane, counting votes). Knowing that a computer system won't do something (e.g. leak all secrets) despite the best efforts of a dedicated and diligent foe is something that has proven incredibly difficult for some very good reasons. Drawing insights from programing languages, machine learning, circuit design, information theory, computer security, and formal methods we describe how computers can support trustworthiness in much deeper and more verifiable new ways than previously thought possible. These and other approaches are a step towards a future where we more fully distinguish between "intuitive" and "deliberative" styles of computing yet where we can enjoy the benefits of both working together.
Tim Sherwood is a Professor of Computer Science and the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at UC Santa Barbara. He is a 9-time winner of the IEEE Micro Top Pick Award, a co-founder of the hardware security company Tortuga Logic, and the 2016 ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes Awardee "for contributions to novel program analysis advancing architectural modeling and security".

What traits rise to the top when video is the admission applicant's essay medium?
According to Robert Maddox, electronic recruitment coordinator for St. Mary's College of Maryland, video essays are "more about being able to see who the student is, and not what they do." Maddox was the expert guest and co-host of #CampusChat on Wednesday, July 28, 2010. The chat attracted 20 active participants engaged in over 200 tweets in a hour. This was the first #CampusChat to be co-hosted by a college admissions representative.
Video essays are not a new thing at St. Mary's College of Maryland. The admissions office is its third year of allowing applicants the choice of submitting a written essay or uploading a video essay with their application.

Keep the foie in the milk lightly salted 1 hour to remove he blood.
Dry well and cut into portions 80/100 g.
Season with salt and pepper then sear for approximately 1 minute in a pan with a little bit of oil until golden brown.
Liquify without the peel and strain though a chinoise.
In a very hot not stick pan, reduce the juice with the butter.
Rectify with salt and pepper and when it reaches a nape consistency, strain into a very cold container previously chilled in the refrigerator.
Scald the leaves in lightly salted water for one minute.
Shock and reserve for the cooking water.
Blend the Micri with 80 g of cooking water and reduce this essence as the previous, substituting the butter for the texturized Micri in cooking water.
For the preparation with Tapioca, cook the tapioca in the cooking water 15 minutes.
Cut semi frozen bread into dices of 0.4 cm.
Brown the dices in a non stick pan gently moving to prevent burning or breaking apart the dices.
When toasted add the honey in a thin thread along with the marjoram.
Reserve the bread in a sealed container.
Scald the leeks in salted water for 15/20 seconds then shock with ice.
Place the salad leaves in warm water with a drop of bleach for 5 minutes.
Clean and reserve for an additional 5 minutes in ice water.
Prepare a vinaigrette with the rest of the ingredients.
Sear the leak and cut into section of 1 cm.
Finish the foie in the oven and season the salad.
On the plate prepare lines with the pumpkin and some drops of leek essence.
Mix the rest of the leek essence with hazelnut and draw a circle.
Place the foie on top of a tablespoon of bread dices, then finish with the salad leaves freshly seasoned.
Usually we garnish with split toasted hazelnuts to complement the oil flavor in the leek essence.

In 2006 he became champion of the first edition of "Chef of the Year" CCA, an event where he is currently Vice President of the jury (the Chef Martin Berasategui is the President).
In December 2007, Jordi Cruz left the Estany Clar and became manager and head Chef at the restaurant Angle de Món Sant Benet (Barcelona). In November 2008 the restaurant was also awarded with one Michelin star, which is still maintained in 2014 Guide and now in Hotel Cram Barcelona.
In May 2010, he took the lead of ABaC Restaurant & Hotel, which is now the gastronomic reference of the city and it is awarded as Best Restaurant of Catalonia 2011 by the Catalan Academy of Gastronomy, and with 2* Michelin Guide since 2012 and 3 "Soles Repsol" since 2013.
Jordi Cruz is the author of "Cooking with logic: technique and concepts in the kitchen of Estany Clar" and he is actually writing his second book.
In June 2012 he opened a new restaurant in Barcelona Ten's Tapas Restaurant, in the heart of the Born district, offers tapas and side dishes true to the philosophy of ABaC.
Regarding his cuisine, the chef himself defines it as "evolutionary and restless, based on the product and where creativity and tradition are merged." Within his profession, the coherency and clarity of his avant garde cuisine has continued to stand out from changing fashions and trends.
Since 2013, he has been a judge on the program Master Chef Spain on TVE1 and has been awarded as Chef de l'Avenir by the "Académie Internationale de la Gastronomie" (International Gastronomy Academy).


Uri Geller: Master of Deception?
Let's face it, Uri Geller is an enigma. What do we really know about him, other than what he wants us to know? Nothing. There's been a lot of speculation: let's use the power of Astrology to review his life so far.
'Uri awoke from what seemed like a long, long sleep, and he knew by his stomach clock, and by the shadows, that he had missed his noonday meal. He decided to take a trip around this vast scented forest before going home. As he reached the south side of the pool, with the sun at his back, he looked up at the clear sky over the pool. Slowly settling down from the sky was a huge, silent, bowl-shaped object. He stared in fascination: What kind of airplane was this? All the planes his father had shown him were wonderfully noisy things with bird-like wings. This one was as quiet as his garden. It looked like the bottom of his mother's huge aluminum bowl, which she used to wash vegetables. It gave him a feeling of peace and beauty and of strength like when he was with his father.
He awake some time later to the setting sun, and looked for the bowl but didn't see it again.
In June 1953, at 10:30 am one hot Tel Aviv day, Uri was bored with the Hebrew classroom. He wished it to be 12 noon so he could have lunch and get outside to play. For a second, he thought about the metal bowl in the sky. When he looked at his watch, and it read 12 o'clock. That night he gave the watch to his mother to get it fixed. A week later he got it back. We pick up the story from Puharich's book.
He got his friend Mordechai to hold the watch while he concentrated on the end of the school day. Mordechai confirmed that the hands were at 12 noon, although the wall clock was still about 10:30. Later, when Uri showed some other children what his watch could do, they asked him how the trick worked. When he said it wasn't a trick, they jeered at him. He stopped showing them what the watch could do after that.
One day, after he and his mother moved to Cyprus (his parents had separated due to his father's involvement as an Israeli soldier), Uri overheard a conversation between a resident at his step-father's hotel and some other men,who were obviously spies. He subsequently approached the man, and they became friends. When Uri confronted him about his extracurricular activities, the man offered to let Uri work for him, as a courier, to keep him quiet about it. We pick up Puharich's retelling of the tale.
However, that year, Uri's stepfather died of a heart attack, and his mother, after trying to make a go of the small hotel for a couple of years, had to sell it for a sacrifice price. She and Uri moved back to Tel Aviv just before his eighteenth birthday. He then joined the Israeli armed forces as a paratrooper.
If you are wondering why I would spend so much time outlining these three incidents from his formative years, please understand that the birth chart shows a similar time line. But because I cannot know for sure what time Uri Geller was born, I have relied upon information that others have 'divined' (for want of a better term).
I suspect that the choice of the timing of this birth was taken in order to have Chiron ('the wounded healer') be conjunct his Ascendant in Scorpio. The reason may have been to highlight the secretive side of his nature. I think that it is wrong. By moving the time of his birth to 6:25 pm, the positions of the planets then support the story of his life.
When Uri joined the Israeli armed forces, he saw battle during the Six Day War in 1967. His description of the event can be found at the following link. http://www.uri-geller.com/articles/news-of-the-world.htm What works for me is the placement of Mars as the final one in a series of planets. It is the planet that signifies 'the soldier' and also 'accidents'. Whenever I want to rectify a chart (meaning, get the time right for the person's birth), I focus on where Mars would be placed if the person came close to dying in his life. This second chart is more accurate as it places his age at about 21 years for the Mars incident.
Now that we have Mars tied down, the planet Neptune appears in Uri's chart at age three. This is the time when the UFO encounter took place. When the beam hit him, it was like having a magic wand waved over him and his life would never be the same. Neptune is the planet of illusion, and it seems to be activated at this early stage in Uri's life. There has been a lot written about whether he is really psychic or just a great mentalist. It would seem that James Randi has bet a lot of money on the fact that Uri is a fake when it comes to any 'real' ability.
According to Randi, 'Psychics, those who claim to be able to read minds, to move objects at a distance by "mind power," and to do other "supernatural" things, seem to be more than just gifted people. They also have a very special set of rules by which they operate, and by which they insist on being judged. The "negative success" business is just one special rule. It means that when you win, you win; and when you lose, you win…Psychics cannot function when nonbelievers are present, either. Even the presence of a skeptic dooms their experiments to failure, and causes them great distress.' Randi, James (2011-08-28). The Truth About Uri Geller (Kindle Locations 237-241). James Randi Educational Foundation. Kindle Edition.
We also have a clue about his reasons for being this way: the 'trick' watch incident.
I think that sharing his 'trick' watch experience with others made him leery of being considered a fake and a fraud, For this reason, he started bending spoons 'with his mind' to win peoples' admiration and acclaim. But according to Randi, Uri is nothing more than a very good conjurer. This could be true, because the placement of Venus and Jupiter (and the Moon) is in the secretive sign of Scorpio.
He does not want to be made fun of any more, so even if he were perpetrating a fraud with the spoon, he would never admit to it.
There is a need to shine, as we have already seen, but the way Uri shines has a decidedly disquieting energy attached to it. Pluto (conjunct to Saturn) is in the first house (the 'Personality') in the sign of Leo, which represents the 'Entertainer'. I suspect the whole world is Uri's stage and the more controversial he is, the better he likes it. Pluto is akin to having a deep psychological itch that needs scratching. If he wasn't successful as an entertainer, he would have considered himself a failure. He needn't have worried.
The position of Uranus at the cusp of the twelfth house in the sign of Gemini may be pivotal to the fullest understanding of what the enigma of Uri Geller's life is. His purpose is to bring a higher electrical energy into this world. It is true that his effect on people in the 1970's was electrifying. Did you know that 'Uri' means 'light'? Doesn't that tell you everything?

Q: PHP Private variable access from child so I'm trying to work out an issue I'm having in designing PHP classes. I've created a base class, and assigned private variables. I have child classes extending this base class, which make reference and changes to these private variables through functions of the base class. Here's an example, keep in mind I'm still confused about the difference between private and protected methods/variables (let me know if I'm doing it wrong!):
base.class.php
<?php
class Base {
    private $test;
    public function __construct(){
        require('sub.class.php');
        $sub = new Sub;
        echo($this->getTest());
    }
    public function getTest(){
        return $this->test;
    }
    protected function setTest($value){
        $this->test = $value;
    }
}
?>

sub.class.php
<?php
class Sub extends Base {
    public function __construct(){
        parent::setTest('hello!');
    }
}
?>

So I'd expect the result to be hello! printed on the screen - instead there is nothing. There could be a fundamental misunderstanding of classes on my part, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Any guidance is very much appreciated! Thanks.
EDIT:
Thank you to everyone who contributed an answer - I think, despite the excellent solutions, that child classes are actually not what I need - it seems delegate classes may be more useful at this point, as I don't really need to reference the Base functions from within the other classes.

A: Should be like this:
base.class.php:
class Base {
    private $test;
    public function __construct() {
        echo $this->getTest();
    }
    public function getTest() {
        return $this->test;
    }
    protected function setTest($value) {
        $this->test = $value;
    }
}

sub.class.php:
class Sub extends Base {
    public function __construct() {
        parent::setTest('hello!');  // Or, $this->setTest('hello!');
        parent::__construct();
    }
}

main code:
require 'base.class.php';
require 'sub.class.php';

$sub = new Sub;  // Will print: hello!

Q: id_rsa file that shouldn't have a password is requiring a password I created an ssh key without a password that I use to ssh and mosh into several webservers.  It's been working fine for about 3 months now.  Today when trying to access one of our servers, it prompted me for a password.
I ran "ssh -vvv name-of-server" to confirm that the only thing keeping me from connecting to the server is the password requirement.
Changing the password requires the old password, which I don't have/ shouldn't exist.  Does anyone have any idea what might be happening, or how I can get rid of the password requirement?

A: Thank you to Garreth for pointing me in the right direction.
Unfortunately, this problem doesn't have a happy ending.  I checked out the private key file and noticed that it began with these two lines:
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,BCC23A5E16582F3D
Evidently this means that the key has been encrypted, and encrypted keys need a password to be used.  I found this command for decrypting:
$ openssl rsa -in id_rsa -out id_rsa

But you need the password to decrypt.  I tried copying and pasting the contents of the old RSA key to a new file, but I was prompted to enter a password to decrypt file as well.  I'm deleting my old keypair and starting over.  :(

A: The key has become corrupted in some way. Check it to make sure that no extra characters or lines got added to it (eg via been pasted in an email that wasn't plain text).
Check each individual line of the key in a plain text editor. There should be no blank characters at the end of any line, and no new lines beyond the key demarcation line.


This statistic shows the results of a survey on the distribution of 55+ readers that purchase their books in physical stores or on the internet or both in the Netherlands in 2016. As of 2016, roughly 20 percent of the Dutch respondents of 55 years and older responded that they usually buy their books on the internet.
* The question was phrased by the source in Dutch as follows: "Waar koopt u doorgaans het vaakst uw boeken: in een boekwinkel of op het internet?".


The ML series from 2006-'11 (W164) is the most common SUV from Mercedes-Benz that you'll see at your shop. The new platform in 2006 saw a new unibody construction, new engines and a change from mechanical systems to more electro-mechanical operation of the engine and drivetrain.
The M272 (V6) and M273 (V8) engine family was used for the W164. The engine can have port or direct injection, depending on the model year. All the engines do share continuously variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust camshafts.
The platform was one of the first to receive the 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission. Mechanically, the 7G-Tronic is bulletproof, but the solenoids and sensors in the valve body can cause problems.
Missed oil changes on the M272 or M273 can have a direct impact on the longevity of the engine. The main impact that worn out oil will have is on the variable valve timing actuators and the seals inside. The result will be that the actuator solenoids will either not hold pressure or they will seize. Bad oil can cause multiple codes for synchronization of the crankshaft and camshaft, the camshaft control device regulation solenoid valve and other camshaft actuator related codes. Wear to the timing chain can also occur.
When changing the filter, inspect the base of the housing that connects to the block for leaks. Also, inspect the oil cooler connections that are next to the oil filter for leaks.
A lot of 2006-'07 model year Mercedes-Benz W164s came with M272 and 273 engines. To smooth out engine vibrations, the engineers put a balance shaft in the center of the engine that is turned by the timing chain. The balance shaft's gear also acts as an idler pulley for the timing chain.
Many of the balance shafts had idler gears that were defective and would wear down the teeth to the point where the chain would jump. When this happens, the engine is out of balance and the engine timing is off. Typically, codes P1200 and P1208 will be stored in the active memory.
The only way to repair the balance shaft is to remove the engine and replace the idler gear, timing chain and guides. Mercedes-Benz reached a settlement with a class action lawsuit in 2011 amounting to $4,000 per vehicle. It is not uncommon for this type of failure to occur today on W164s with higher mileage.
On 2006-'08 models, it is not uncommon for the seat heater to short out and give the driver a very hot seat. The driver might notice a burning smell first, and, in some cases, the heater will not work at all. Replacement elements are available.
The M272 and M273 have intake manifolds that change the length of the runners and openings to the intake port to improve how the engine breaths at different engine speeds and throttle positions. When the flaps can't move due to damage to the actuators or the linkages, the driver may complain of poor idle, loss of power and a check engine light with a P2006 code and other codes that can include changes to the long-term fuel trim.
Inside the body of the intake manifold is a flap that essentially changes the length of the runners in the intake manifold. The other two flaps are located where the intake meets the intake ports on the heads. These help to control the air going into the cylinder to improve performance and turbulence.
The flaps are controlled by three vacuum actuators that are connected to linkages. These components are made of plastic. Over time and with exposure to heat, the plastic can become brittle. The flaps can break and become dislodged from the shafts, stop working and potentially fall into the intake ports.
The other potential failure involves the linkages on the intake manifold. Sometimes, the linkages can pop off their mounting points. Most of the time the linkages become brittle and break.
Repairing the intake manifold is straightforward. Just take your time and look for cracks and other damage before you install the manifold back on the engine.
7G-Tronic is the seven-speed automatic transmission used for the W164 platform. The transmission has the electronic control module mounted between the transmission and valve body. The control module is integrated into a conductor plate that holds the shift solenoids. The conductor plate has the electrical connections for the sensors, solenoids and connector to the vehicle. The conductor plate and control module are not serviceable, while the solenoids and sensor are serviceable. There are replacement modules, but there are services that can repair the conductor plate.
One thing to be aware of is that in the comfort or winter mode, the transmission starts in 2nd gear. But, 2nd gear is also used for reverse.
The most common customer complaint is a loss of shift quality or the transmission remains in gear. Most of these problems are related to the solenoids and the electrical connections from the vehicle to the transmission control module, and connections to the shift solenoids on the conductor plate.
The AMG version of the W164 has the MCT transmission — essentially the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission without a torque converter. Instead of a torque converter, it uses a compact wet startup clutch to launch the car from a stop and also supports computer-controlled double-declutching.
On older W164 SUVs in the salt belt states, rust is starting to eat away at the doors and wheel arches. Mercedes-Benz vehicles are not immune to rust and corrosion of the brake lines. The most common area for corrosion is above the fuel tank.
The W164 has an optional low-range transfer case with locking differential in the center and rear for the ML550 and AMG ML53. On most models, the transfer case has its own module that controls the operation of the center differential and high- and low-range operation, as well as distribution of power under normal operation.
A separate module performs the locking of the rear differential. It is typically on the Hi-Speed CAN bus network and needs inputs like throttle position, wheel speeds and even steering angle to operate.
The rear driveshaft typically does not have issues with the joints, but the center differential bearing can fail due to high mileage. The typical symptoms of failure are noise when cold and vibration. Also, the rubber flex disc can degrade and the rubber can separate from metal and cause a vibration.
When it comes to fluids, the 4MATIC transfer case uses automatic transmission fluid that meets Mercedes-Benz standards. The same is true for differentials that use 75w-90 hypoid gear lubricant. The fluid standards for the entire vehicle can be found at bevo.mercedes-benz.com. They even have an app that can be downloaded from the Apple and Google app stores.
The W164 has two Airmatic systems — the standard Airmatic and Airmatic with the Active Dampening System (ADS). The good news is that the air springs can be replaced independently from the struts in the front. The driver can adjust the system, but the air suspension module that looks at data from various modules also adjusts it.
The compressor is the most common component in need of replacement. The compressor's piston and cylinder are dry. As the compressor runs, a phenolic ring on the piston wears. Eventually, the piston wears and the compressor can't generate enough pressure. This results in longer run times and even more wear to the ring. The air suspension module knows that for a given amount of time and temperature how much time it should take to fill the reservoir with air for a given correction. If the runtime exceeds the calculated time, a code will be set. Or, if the runtime is excessive, it will shut down the compressor to avoid overheating and possibly damaging the electrical circuit.
The compressor will not typically run when the vehicle is idling. The compressor will run when the vehicle exceeds a specified speed between 25 and 35 mph. If a reservoir is low or depleted, it will run the compressor while the engine is idling.
If you've replaced the fuse and relay for the compressor and it now works, look at the current draw. Like all electric motors, when the electric motor starts, it draws about twice the amount of amperage to get the pump moving. It will look like a ramp. This is normal and should be present at the start for only a very short period. If the amperage stays high for an extended period, it could be a sign of mechanical damage to the pump. It will also burn up the new relay and fuse.

Meet Omiš
THE TOWN WHERE RIVER, CANYON AND SEA MEET
One of the most beautiful highways in the world follows from the coast one of the most beautiful seas and passes through numerous Croatian towns and cities, from Istria to southern Dalmatia. Enchanted by the beauty of the Adriatic Sea and the rush to get from one destination to another, through some places you just 'fly'.
Omis may not be one of those places, but visitors who decide to get to know it a little better, are almost always surprised by its uniqueness. As a tourist guide, I have heard countless times a sentence like "we had no idea that Omis is so interesting".
What makes Omis special? First of all, it is its diversity, in the historical-geographical, and then in the natural and gastronomic sense. All of mentioned above has produced many stories that this town keeps in its streets and is ready to tell them proudly to anyone who wants to listen. I highly recommend you to be curious 🙂
LOCATION: Central Dalmatia, almost halfway between the cities of Split and Makarska overlooking the island of Brac
MY EXPERIENCES – WHAT I VISITED, DID AND TASTED IN OMIS
Food: Soparnik, Black Risotto, a tiny bit of Frog
Sightseeing Omiš with tourist guide
Fortresses Mirabela and Fortica
Cetina River Canyon Tour
Town Museum Omis and Permanent Exhibition of Festival of Dalmatian Klapa Omiš
Town Beaches
Wine of the Omis vineyards
Panoramic Motorcycle Ride in Inland Omis
The Cetina River Cruise
The Cetina River Canyon
CHECK OUT OMIŠ FUN FACTS, BLASTS FROM THE PAST, THINGS I HAVE LEARNED AND I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU
UNIQUE POSITION – I will never forget my first visit to Omis. In addition to the blue sea and emerald green river, at the first encounter, I was most stunned by the hills. Omiška Dinara, Komorjak, Babnjača and the mountain Mosor are the hills that surround this beautiful Dalmatian town. Several hundred meters high cliffs look so huge that the town at their foot looks like a tiny anthill. It was only later that I became aware of the beauty and the fact that Omis is located at the mouth of the beautiful karst river into the Adriatic Sea. At this place, the river Cetina made its way through the mountain range for who knows how long time and divided it into Omiška Dinara and Poljica Mountain.
BEACH DIVERSITY – There are not many places on our coast where you can choose between the river and sea beaches. In Omis, you can not only choose between these type of beaches but also whether you prefer a sandy, pebble or rocky beach. Practically, the main town beach is located in the town centre. Everything is at your fingertips, especially restaurants in case you get hungry. The town beach consists of a little coarser sand, and a series of sandy beaches continues for five kilometres in the direction of the neighbouring town of Dugi Rat. From the Omiš pier, in the direction of Makarska, everyone who does not like sand can choose one of the pebble beaches. You can find out more about Omis beaches in my second post here.
The Mirabela also called Peovica tower
PIRATE'S PAST – Thanks to the piracy that the people of Omis practised in the 12th and 13th centuries, Omis has a rather exciting and slightly different history from other towns on the coast. Although at first it sounds interesting and exciting, and to some repulsive, as something you shouldn't really brag about, the story of Omis pirates is actually a story about people who defended their territory successfully for two centuries. As for the town and its inland, they also claimed the right to their territorial sea. At that time, this route was quite popular for sailing, and the people of Omis demanded the payment of a certain amount for unhindered passage (as we pay tolls today). Speaking of Omis pirates, it should be borne in mind that they lived in a time we call the Dark Ages today. So, they are guilty because, in addition to trade, fishing, agriculture, toll collection, they were also engaged in piracy. They were the most successful during the reign of dukes Kačić, Nikola, Malduk, Pribislav, Osor… At that time, the people of Omiš were extremely skilled sailors and shipbuilders. They had boats with special characteristics of a significant name, Omiš Arrows. Unlike other cities, in Omis, the boats were not kept in the port, but in the canyon of the river Cetina. At its mouth is still, though barely visible, Mostina – an underwater wall with a passage as wide as Omis people boats. For everyone else, it was an obstacle. Hundreds of years after their reign, the Mirabel Fortress and the tombstone of Duke Miroslav Kačić, which is kept in the Omiš Town Museum, testify their past.
The view on the Cetina river and Omiš
PHENOMENAL VIEWS – There are two forts in the city from which an incredible view can be seen. The nearest and oldest tower is Mirabela or Peovica. It is a Romanesque fortress of Omis pirates, probably built at the beginning of the 13th century at a height of 245 m above Omis. The second fort is called Fortica or the Old Town, and is located at the top of the Omiš Dinar and at a height of more than 300 m. Fortica is reached by hiking trails and can be reached from the centre of the town or the part of the town called Planovo, or the canyon. The Ferrata has been leading to the Fortica for the last few years, so you can climb it with the help of a cable. In addition to the Omis fortifications, on the left side of the river Cetina, on the way to the Inlanda Omis, ie the historical region of Poljica and the village of Gata, there is a statue of Mile Gojsalić made by Ivan Meštrović. View from that viewpoint, and then from the church of St. Jure on the hill Gradac in Gata offers a new angle view. All locations include a view of the Brac channel, the island of Brac and the canyon of the river Cetina.
FOOD, WINE AND CRAFT BEER – The gastronomy of the Omis area is diverse because it is associated with sea, river and continental dishes. As a latent vegetarian, I'm not inclined to experiment too much with meat dishes, especially not with seafood and others, sorry to write slimes :-). But to be in Omis and not be tempted to try at least a part of that gastronomic exotic is not only a sin but also nonsense. Some dishes, like black risotto made from cuttlefish, I tried just out of curiosity. And he was a jerk to me! Some dishes, like frog legs, I tried because I was brought before the finished act. What to do when the most famous Croatian food blogger Ribafish put a piece of frog leg meat under your nose? You open your mouth. Yes, I also tried squid, but only the part without the legs. I'm not really into shellfish either. I like to eat fish, my favourites are fried sardines, sea bass and grilled mole.
Omis has its own vineyards and it would be okay during a visit to Omis to start tasting local wine and then other wines from Dalmatia and Croatia. You may not have known that the Californian Zinfandel and the Italian Primitivo have their roots in Central Dalmatia. This variety has several names in Croatia such as Crljenak, Tribidrag, or Pribidrag as it is called in Omis.
The brewery from nearby Dugi Rat brews homemade beer with the names of Omis legends: Malduk and Mila and Apach according to a series of films about Winnetou for which some scenes were shot in the canyon of the river Cetina.
The Omis promenade
WALK THAT FOLLOWS THE RIVER TO THE SEA – The path of the promenade starts from the main street Fošala towards the city beach. Then it follows the beach and continues to the breakwater that literally passes between the river Cetina and the Adriatic Sea to the point where the river merges with the blue sea after more than a hundred kilometres of its course.
DALMATIAN KLAPA FESTIVAL – This festival has been traditionally held in Omis for more than 50 years. The story of organizing the first festival is another story of heartfelt Omis people and their enthusiasm, thanks to which we have the opportunity to enjoy the performances of klapas every year. The first official festival was held in 1967, while UNESCO included klapa singing on the list of intangible heritage in 2012. You can find out more about the festival at the exhibition with a permanent exhibition in Omis.
Radman Mills
CETINA, CANYON AND RADMAN'S MILLS – The source and mouth of the river Cetina are located in Dalmatia. It springs seven kilometres from Vrlika, at the foot of the Dinara mountain, and flows into Omis, breaking through the Omis Dinara, a hill located along the Adriatic Sea. It is approximately 105 km long and belongs to the Adriatic basin. Cetina actually has several springs, and the largest is Big Spring, also called Glavaš or Milaš Spring, more than 100 meters deep. Near the town of Trilj, Cetina leaves The field of Sinj and enters the canyon. The excursion sight Radman Mills is six kilometres upstream from Omiš. In the nineteenth century, on the site of today's restaurant and picnic area, there were water mills, a gorgeous park with ancient and medieval stone fragments and a summer house of the Radman family.
OMIS RIVIERA – From Omiš to the town of Makarska in a narrow coastal area, right by the sea stretches 20 km long Omis Riviera. It consists of places where they once lived from fishing, while today, of course, tourism predominates. The Omis Riviera consists of the following places: Nemira, Stanići, Čelina, Lokva Rogoznica, Mimice, Marušići and Pisak. In addition to the beautiful beaches by the sea, I suggest that you go with a bottle of water to explore the 'old villages' of these places, located at the foot of the hill. In addition to good recreation, this walk will give you a view of the sea, the island of Brac and beyond. I would especially like to point out Mimice and the VIA ARTISTICA project. From the Mimica Gallery to the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lokva Rogoznica, on the old Mimica road, the former Napoleonic road stretches a promenade with twenty beautiful sculptures.

Things left to do next time: – As someone who has lived in Omis for many years, there is little left that I have not yet poked my nose into. This mainly applies to active-type excursions such as zip-line and canyoning.
OMIŠ IN A NUTSHELL
Food and drink Omis does not have a special dish to single out as a traditional. It includes dishes of the natural territory in which it is located, meaning a typical Dalmatian cuisine and also continental, which in addition to a love for fish, means a lot of love for meat. Restaurants in Omis are diverse, from modern and traditional restaurants to various fast-foods which offer sea and river fish, frogs, snails, grilled meat, meat baked under the baking lid, vegetables and meat boiled and spiced with olive oil, but also burgers and pizzas. Everyone can find something to their liking.
Cultural Heritage Sights in Omiš The Church of St. Peter from the 10th century on Priko part of the town, st. Spirit and Roko from the 16th century, the parish church of St. Michael from the 17th century with a bell tower from the 18th century, the church of St. Mary and Luke from the 17th century six Roman sarcophagi in the old Omis cemetery, a pillar of shame, the house of a happy man, the Shrine of St. Leopold Mandić in Zakucac, the coat of arms of Omiš from the 16th century which can be found at several locations in the city, the tower Turjun, monuments, the remains of the church of St. Euphemia from 5.-6. century in Brzet.
Excursions in Omiš: Outdoor activites If the titles for the offer of excursions were shared in terms of number and possibilities, Omis could be proclaimed king without false modesty. In the first place, of course, is the offer of excursions related to active tourism, so all lovers of this type of vacation in Omis can spend at least seven days cold and try rafting, kayaking river and sea, down the canyon by the waterfalls in Zadvarje, hiking, climbing, driving by bike, zipline, hiking, diving… For those for whom rest means an easy walk, they can opt for classic and thematic city tours related to culture, history and gastronomy or a boat ride on the river Cetina.
Accommodation Regarding the offer of accommodation in Omis, and given the narrow land belt on which it is located, Omis has a decent offer for overnight stays. From hotels to 4 *, villas with pools to hostels, private accommodation and camps.

SURROUNDINGS OF THE TOWN. INLAND AND POLJICA.
Omis includes the area by the sea, the right and left sides of the river Cetina and the inland towards Split. A large part of the inland Omiš is a region that was once more than six centuries old Poljica principality, which covered about 250 km2. Poljica was an administrative area then, ruled by the self-government of the local people, which inherited its independence from the 13th century to the beginning of the 19th century. It consisted of 12 katuns, ie the main villages. It was a land of hard workers who cultivated every piece of fertile soil, small fields – fields scattered on the karst area of numerous scrapes, sinkholes and valleys… The region of Poljica is divided into Lower, Middle and Upper Poljica where various karst landscapes and beautiful stone villages intertwine. Poljica is most often associated with a centuries-old speciality – soparnik. More about it you can find in my article here. It is a fasting dish, consisting of chard and dough, and baked on the stove, directly under the grill. On the way from Omis to Gati, above the abyss of the canyon, he watches Meštrović's statue of Mile Gojsalić, a heroine from Poljica from the 16th century who saved Poljica from the Ottomans with her wisdom and courage. You can find out all about Poljica in the Historical Museum in Gata.
The Historical Museum of Poljica
In addition to Poljica, there are other traditional villages within the city region, woven into the heart of the Omis Dinara hill on the left side of the river Cetina like Podašpilje, Svinišće and Kučiće.
The Church of St. George on Gradac hill

OMIŠ SURROUNDINGS


What really needs to be said that has not already been said about this master director behind this film. Fritz Lang is the very definition of master in film making. From masterpieces of the silent film world all the way to the talkies. His extraordinary gift of excellence is something that is mind numbing, every time you watch his films. I grew up obsessed with his mastery. Such classics as 1927's Metropolis to my personal favorite film, one of my top 20 films, 1931's M, starring the one and only Peter Lorre. Lang is someone I always obsess about in the film world. I was so happy to learn that Twilight Time choose this beauty, The Big Heat, one of Lang's greats for their Special Edition 3,000 Unit Blu-ray, Encore Edition.
The Big Heat is a fantastic film. A flawless cast. Tight Direction. A classic crime noir thriller that remains perfect today, as it was, when it came out. Twilight Time has done a fantastic job in bringing this classic to a new generation. A wonderful Blu-ray to own.
All one has to do is look at the cast. Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame, Jocelyn Brando, Jeanette Nolan, Lee Marvin, Carolyn Jones and Alexander Scourby who I want to talk about. He plays the perfect villain. He is an actor that shinned in films. He had a voice like no other. A deep voice that stood out and made you notice. He not only was an actor, but he put that amazing voice to work, as a voice actor. He not only stared beside Glenn Ford in The Big Heat, but a year before, he stared alongside him in Affair in Trinidad, and also stared alongside him again in 1956's Ransom. He also might I add for all you lower budget, Drive-in, B-movie lovers out there, he acted in the one a kind 1985's The Stuff, which is a cheesy classic. The Stuff was his last feature film. One of his claims to fame and memorable realities is he read the King James version of the Bible, all 84 hours in audio form. Besides James Earl Jones, this version of the bible is one of the best. Both Jones and Scourby give a great reality to book on audio. Also he stared in one of my personal favorite epic films 1956's Giant. He had such a talent that sadly was never used the way it should have been. He was underrated and majorly underappreciated.
I have to mention Jeanette Nolan. She had parts in many memorable films right alongside her husband the one and only John McIntire, both of them often worked together. From parts in 1960's masterpiece Psycho to the long running TV show Wagon Train. Jeanette Nolan's part in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho is in voice only, she was the one and only voice of Norman's mama, Norma Bates. Jeanette along with her husband John would do voice talents to some on my favorite Disney animated films. John would do the voice of Rufus in Disney's Rescuers and Jeanette would do the voice of Muskrat Ellie Mae in Disney's The Rescuers. John would also do the voice of Badger in Disney's The Fox and the Hound and his wife Jeanette would do the voice of Widow Tweed. She was a gifted and extraordinary actress that left a shining reality in film and her performance in The Big Heat is no different as all the others who grace this film.
The plot is about Detective Sgt. Dave Bannion (Glenn Ford) fighting against the corruption and criminal element in a small town. Dave investigates the death of a fellow officer named Tom Duncan. Basically ruled a suicide. But the woman he is having an affair with believes otherwise. Soon Dave is pressured to close the case. Needless to say like a good crime caper, the mistress is found dead, tortured. Soon Dave finds himself threatened by an unknown person or persons. The main criminal element in the town is the character Mike Lagana (Alexander Scourby) who is a mob boss. Lagana has his control over the city and line the pockets of some of the police. Dave finds that the people are scared and allow the criminal world to run them over, directed by Lagana who control and force others under his will. Soon Dave's life is turned upside down and the world of justice turns it's back on him, and so he becomes a man seeking justice and vengeance upon the criminal world.
This is a great film. A great experience on this new outlet. A perfect example of how to treat a classic film that stands the test of time, and becomes all the more brilliant as you watch it on this lovely blu-ray by Twilight Time.
Another flawless example of audio and video. A great crisp image. A wonderful black and white clarity. The audio is spot on. Most of the time I really find no flaw in these Twilight Time Blu-ray's. Twilight Time always does an amazing job in expressing cinema.
Isolated Score Track. As in most all releases by Twilight Time you get the amazing isolated score track which is a great way to hear the music. Henry Vars who shockingly and sadly was uncredited for this film did the music. He was part of the film business, supplying music from 1930 all the way up to the 70's. A composer, conductor, musical director, he did it all. He composed for a variety of entertainment. From TV to motion picture. It was really great hearing this isolated score track, another wonderful special feature.
Audio Commentary with Film Historians Lem Dobbs, Julie Kirgo, and Nick Redman. Triple dose of perfection. What more could you want than three film historians talking about a film. I absolutely love these commentaries that Twilight Time supplies. Dobbs, Kirgo and Redman are pure perfection in cinema love. They know cinema. They know what film lovers want to hear. Another great listen.
Two programs by two of the great directors alive today, Michael Mann on The Big Heat and Martin Scorsese on The Big Heat. Two masters talking about a masterpiece of Crime Noir. Both of these are priceless.
A wonderful transfer to Blu-ray. Awesome amazing acting. Mastery in direction. Great special features. The Big Heat is a film that never gets old. It's a movie I can return to often. Knowing that one of the greatest directors in all of cinema history directed this film, makes me want to return to it over and over again. Twilight Time has done a fantastic job in bringing this out. I highly recommend this special edition blu-ray from Twilight Time. In my viewpoint it's a must own. Another great job in honoring a film.

It is always important to ask about what kind of support the company provides. Do they have a dedicated line for customers? Is it an international line? Do they have email or chat support? Most online customer support is automated, so it is important to ask what kind of online support they provide. It is also important to find out their hours of support and on what time zone they offer these hours.
It is important to ask Medical transcription companies how many customers they have and if any of these companies are references. If they offer references, this means they are confident about the service that they provide for their customers and these references to share their experiences. But don't simply take their word for it, make sure you immediately follow up and confirm all of the references that they provide.
One of the most important questions you can ask is how long a company has been in business. As a general rule, the longer they have been in business, the better. You do not want to get involved with a company that has just started. These start-up companies have yet to prove themselves in the business, and it could be risky for you to commit. A company that has been around for a while has experience and know-how in the medical transcription industry.
When you have researched enough about certain Medical transcription companies, it is important to ask about their standard operating procedures. This involves asking about their standard turnaround time, or the time it takes for your documents and files to be returned. This is also when you can ask about how they perform quality checks and how they perform quality control. You can also ask about whether or not they outsource their work. While this is common among medical transcription companies, it is still important to know how much and how often they outsource.
Finally, it is important to ask about the contractual details or the client-service agreements of these Medical transcription companies. This is usually answered by the submission of the contract itself, where you can review and study the details of the agreement. You should look for the way they bill you and when their usual billing time is. It is also important to know how long their standard contract is. You don't want to be contractually locked up by a company that you are not yet familiar with.

Work and motherhood: A gift and a struggle
Posted on May 14, 2018 by Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Before I became a mom I envisioned days spent with my babies like the one I got yesterday. The weather was beautiful, my daughters and I picked wildflowers and delivered them to grandma down the road, Edie ran through the sprinkler, played in the sandbox, rode her pony and spent the evening playing with her cousins while I cooked supper in honor of my mom and sisters with the windows open listening to the sounds of laughter outside. Besides the two giant pukes on my just-washed bedding, the baby was a dream. She slept and snuggled and was happy to be alive and learning.
It was a good day.
It was Mother's Day.
But let's be real now, not all days with kids and work are created equal. Some days it's looks less like a dream and more a circus performance that has yet to be properly rehearsed and someone opened the gates and all the animals got out in the ring. At least that's what it looks like on my living room floor, which matches what's happening in my mind.
Last week, in an attempt to keep that sanity and the bills paid, we started daycare up again after losing our provider when Rosie was born. And while it's only few days a week, it got me thinking about motherhood and work and keeping that part of yourself that makes you tick engaged among the booger wipes and snuggles…and why it's so hard to admit that it's hard…and why sometimes you feel like no matter what you do, it's not right for anyone.
And in those moments it helps to take a breath and remind myself that to have so much to love and so much I want to do that it makes me sorta crazy isn't necessarily a bad thing, although it may drive me to make questionable decisions about M&M consumption…and maybe we need to work on things like that…
Coming Home: How to be a good mom, today and every day
Forum Communications
There are a million ways to be a good mom.
Handing your 2-year old one M&M after another in an attempt to keep her quiet while you're on the phone conducting an interview for a magazine article that is overdue is probably not one of them.
It's not one of the ways to become a great journalist either, but when it comes to motherhood and work, sometimes it's about survival.
I'm thinking about this today as I sit in a coffee shop office after dropping my daughters off at their new part-time daycare perch for the first time. I'm thinking about motherhood and career and the proper amount of sacrifice and wondering if I should feel guilty about not feeling as guilty as I think I should about getting a break from my kids to get some work done … if that makes sense.
Does it make sense?
Since Rosalee was born five months ago, I have continued to work from my home office, struggling to keep my career afloat and my children entertained and happy three minutes at a time. And while it's been wonderful to be home with them, it's also been maddening and exhausting.
To have a career you love and babies you love at the same time is a gift and a struggle of distribution.
To have a husband with a full-time job and a ranch to run when he comes home at night makes our life look like "remember you have the babies tonight because I have a meeting" and texts about grocery lists and the triumph of finally finding the lost mermaid toy the toddler has been obsessing about. It's about piling in the old pickup to "help" fix fence and Daddy getting in just in time to read story after story before falling asleep in his work clothes in a tiny bed next to his daughter and her pile of stuffed animals because he's exhausted while I'm upstairs nursing the baby and finishing up the day's emails on my cell phone.
It's a familiar narrative.
We're not unique as a working family trying to make our dreams and our ends meet. But turns out there's a lot of wondering if you're doing anything right in between those lines of the happily-ever-after story.
Because once you put those dreams in motion, what comes next is the messy, wonderful, unpredictable, frustrating, fulfilling minutes piling up to create a life.
But why is it so scary to admit that it can be exhausting?
I know from experience that I can be tired and grateful at the same time. Aggravated one minute and proud the next. Content in the moment while really looking forward to when the toddler can put her boots on all by herself and the baby pops those bottom two teeth already.
When I pictured myself as a mother I had expectations that I wouldn't use M&M's as bribery as often as I do. But that was back before I met the kids who created this new version of me who loves them fiercely and fully, but still has work she wants to do.
And you know now that I think of it, I can only wish the same dilemma on my daughters one day.
Happy Mother's Day mommas!
