'Masterful' Hendricks needs only 81 pitches to hand Cardinals their first shutout loss

Antonio Perez, chicago tribune
CHICAGO — They didn't see many pitches to begin with. And of the few from Kyle Hendricks the Cardinals did hit, most vanished — predictably —into a Cub's glove.
Shifted to the left of his base, Cubs second baseman Daniel Descalso stole a hard-shot single from Paul DeJong. Racing in from center, Jason Heyward slid to rob Jose Martinez of a sinking-liner single. Marcell Ozuna had nothing to show for a hard liner to right and a harder grounder down the third-base line, and the hardest of Matt Carpenter's bolts — a 100-mph liner off the bat — was caught, unceremoniously, by Anthony Rizzo at first. It's sure tricky to hit 'em when there's nowhere they ain't.
Putting the ball in play catered to Hendricks' brisk pace, fell into the Cubs' rigged defensive traps, and left the Cardinals going scoreless Friday for the first time this season. In a 4-0 win at Wrigley Field, Hendricks needed only 81 pitches to author arguably the most efficient shutout ever by a Cub against the Cardinals.
The game turned on the Cardinals' inability to wedge hits between the defense, and the Cubs not having to bother. Two walks in the third inning preceded Rizzo's three-run homer that simply sent the game's decisive hit where the Cardinals couldn't go, the bleachers.
"We got beat. We didn't beat ourselves," Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said. "We hit some balls at people. That's part of the game. (Hendricks) did a nice job, he really did. That was pitching, the art of pitching."
More like the art of minimalism.
With fewer brushstrokes than any pitcher has needed to shut out the Cardinals since 1990, Hendricks held them to four hits, and the only Cardinal to reach second base was pitcher Jack Flaherty. He had to steal it.
A "Maddux," named for Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, is a shutout that requires fewer than 100 pitches. It's a control freak's gem. And since pitch counts have been reliably tracked, only Doug Drabek got through nine shutout innings against the Cardinals in fewer pitches. Took him 80 on Sept. 30, 1990. Maddux himself needed 88 to pull off a Maddux against the Cardinals in 1995. In the past 30 years, no Cub has shut out the Cardinals in less than 114 pitches, according to Baseball-Reference.com.
Hendricks had the fewest pitches in a shutout in the majors since 2012, the fewest pitches by a Cub in a shutout since Jon Lieber in 2001.
"Really masterful," Shildt said.
"He did what he does every single time," Cardinals infielder Kolten Wong said. "He attacked with what he has. He tries to use the deception and your aggression to get you out. That was something that we talked about — we tried to keep him in the zone but not take too many pitches. He's going to throw strikes. It's just a matter of if you can sneak some base hits in there and get him."
That's in large part because of the picket-fence defense so many of the Cardinals faced so many times they made contact against Hendricks (2-4).
The first meeting of the 2019 season between the Midwest's oldest rivals was really a continuation of the modern saga. Both are good. Both intend to contend.
The Cardinals arrived in first place in the division, 2½ games ahead of the Cubs, and winners in 11 of their past 14 games. The Cubs came from the West Coast, buoyed by a four-game winning streak. If either team saw this series as a measuring stick — eyeballing a chief challenger — then it was really more of the same. The Cubs already know the Cardinals like a good tailor. They've been sizing them up for a few years, trimming them back, fitting them for third place. Look no further than where they tuck their outfielders, where the seams are in their infield.
Hendricks finished the fifth inning and got his 15th out on his 48th pitch. Five of the next six outs came on strong defensive plays or plays made by a shifted infielder. Twice a Cardinal stung a pitch up the middle — only to see an infielder standing there as if with a magnet. Ten of the game's 15 hardest-hit balls were by Cardinals. Hendricks' efficiency was aided by scouting proficiency.
"There are not a lot of secrets out there," Shildt said.
"We play each other a thousand times a year," Flaherty said. "So everybody pretty much knows everybody in the division. That's just how it is. There's no weak link in this division."
Flaherty (3-2) and his feel for the Cubs' lineup was clear in how he described working around it, as if a safecracker.
Dating to last season, Rizzo has reached base against the Cardinals in nine consecutive plate appearances. Keeping others off around him limits trouble. Flaherty didn't in the third. A tight strike zone put him behind on Descalso, and a walk to Descalso was followed by a walk to Kris Bryant. Rizzo tagged a fine pitch for a three-run homer, but Flaherty insisted he didn't trace that back to a missed strike call to Descalso.
"It's just a different at-bat with guys on," Flaherty said. "I mean, if you're going to dwell on it, you're asking for bad things to happen. If I'm still thinking about that pitch as the rest of that at-bat goes, I've still got more chances to get him out. (The ump) missed one. Whatever. I still have a couple of more pitches to get him out. I wasn't able to."
The Cubs extended their lead to four runs in the seventh after skirting around Rizzo with a walk and watching Javier Baez drive in the run. Flaherty had left the game by then, turning a bases-loaded jam over to the bullpen. He needed a season-high 110 pitches to get 17 outs.
Hendricks got through his first 18 outs on 55 pitches.
"Some games are hard-fought. Both teams execute. A play happens here or there. That's the game," Shildt said. "One ball got out of the ballpark. One ball got into the gap. Otherwise we'd still be out there playing. But we're not. And we'll show up and play" Saturday.

New Polls, Tymoshenko in Troubles
Chances of the former PM Yulia Tymoshenko of winning the presidential elections in Ukraine are decreasing. From the beginning of the official campaign, Batkivshchyna's candidate is having more and more troubles and she fell to the third position in polls. Two newest polls place Volodymyr Zelensky at the first position, but Petro Poroshenko can be satisfied as well because he beats Tymoshenko who was considered as his most serious rival.
SOURCE: TYMOSHENKO.UA
On February 20, Ukrainian Centre for Economic and Political Studies named after Olexander Razumkov published its poll. A comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, has the greatest support – 19 percent among those who are to participate in the elections. The second position is occupied by President Petro Poroshenko – 16.8 percent of support, beating Yulia Tymoshenko – 13.8 percent of votes. Zelensky remains a favourite of the second round as well. He wins with Poroshenko in polls 32.2 to 19.1, and with Tymoshenko 28.7 to 18.6 percent. On February 22, Socis centre also published its poll. Among all people asked, Zelensky gained 23.8 percent, Poroshenko 20.3 percent, and Tymoshenko 15.9 percent. Out of the remaining 41 candidates, only Yuriy Boyko, the main candidate of the pro-Russian camp, has a relevant result (11.5 percent). But it is worth noticing how the respondents answered the question who is to become a president? Most of them, 23.9 percent, pointed to Poroshenko, Tymoshenko had 16.3 percent, and Zelensky, the leader of polls, only 12.5. This only confirms that the current results of Zelensky are overestimated. When the time of voting comes, part of Ukrainians may realise that they do not want to vote for a candidate whose running for elections is considered as a kind of happening. This is the first good information for Poroshenko. The second one is the growing troubles of Tymoshenko.
Subsequent polls confirm the fall of popularity of the candidate who earlier for many months before the start of the official campaign, had been a strong leader of the polls. Tymoshenko reacts to her troubles in a way which makes her situation even worse. It started on February 4, with accusing Poroshenko of trying to buy Ukrainians' votes within his campaign (1 thousand hryvnias, which is 36 dollars, for one vote). Without providing any evidence, Tymoshenko called the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General to start an investigation. On February 5, in turn, during the meeting in her home town Dnipro, Tymoshenko attacked the Minister of Healthcare Ulana Suprun, born in the USA, saying that she was "sent by the foreigners" who wanted to "experiment on Ukrainians". These attacks happened just after the publication of polls showing that Tymoshenko was preceded by Zelensky. But such a sharp reaction had the opposite effect. After two weeks, it turned out that Tymoshenko was also preceded by Poroshenko. And this is a risk of a real defeat: not entering the second round, even though not long ago, the former PM seemed to be an undoubted favourite of the elections. Especially, as on February 21, the Security Service of Ukraine informed that it detected a vote-buying pyramid in favour of Tymoshenko and stated that Russia was responsible for that. General Prosecutor's Office announced that over 50 places in different regions of the country were inspected. The media report that these are mainly local campaign offices of Tymoshenko.

While progressive political left, nationalist groups and civil society members from all over the country are demanding early release of enforced missing Baloch poet,writer and social activist Abdul Wahid Baloch , there are news of more enforced missing of people from Baloch community. Recently Pakistani Security forces conducted a military operation in Gwarkop Baluchistan And on 4th October,2016 and picked up 9 persons including 24 years old spokesman of Baloch Students Organization Azad-BSO Azad Shabir Baloch. Usually security forces and intelligence agencies pick up people from Baloch community and never admit that such arrested Baloch activists are in their custody. This practice started in Musharraf Era and still continued. Even Judiciary has been failed to recover such missing person from security forces. In most cases concerned Police Station does not register FIR of enforced missing persons.
24 years old student Shabir Baloch was picked by security forces of Pakistan in Gwarkop military operation which took place on Tuesday, 4th of October 2016.This incident of another enforced missing was reported on official website of Human Rights Council of Baluchistan-HRCB. According to HRCB, 9 persons were picked up during the day long military operation in which more than 50 vehicle of ground forces took part with the support of two gunship helicopters, as it has usually been norms in Baluchistan.
Shabir Baloch, born in 1992, is brother of three sisters and three brothers, resident of Labach Awaran, Balochistan.
He had been active in BSO since a long time and gradually rose as Central Spokesperson and Information Secretary of Baloch Students Organization (Azad).
BSO is a political organization which is said to be the mother organization of modern Baloch nationalism. It evolved in an its institutional form in 1960's after the educated Baloch youth kept setting together while discussing the ways of building the national capacity as well as to defend the Baloch rights in a situation of an Identity Crisis.
BSO had been the main source of inspiration for Baloch nationalism for decades. With the recent row of conflict between Islamabad and the local inhabitants of Balochistan, BSO has again been the driving force behind the discourse of Baloch rights.
BSO is considered as a cradle organization in the struggle for rights of Baloch people on Pakistan. Many of the current leading figures including ex-Chief Minister of Balochistan Dr Malik Baloch, and also the chief commander of Baloch Liberation Front Dr Allah Nazar had got their early political education in BSO.
When the ground work was started on Gwadar Deep sea port in Balochistan, BSO was one of the main organizations campaigned to oppose it and was struggling to raise awareness against the project, especially in Gwadar and adjacent parts of the area including Mekran region. BSO has been and is one of the hardest opponents of China-Pakistan-Economic-Corridor, the multibillion 'development project' which is a highlighted issue in the conflict between Islamabad and Baloch populace of Balochistan, which the latter fear that are tools to convert them in minority in their own ancestor land.
In March 2013, Government of Pakistan announced a ban on the activities of BSO and since then the organization's leadership have been under ground. The then chairman of BSO, Zahid Baloch was picked up by security forces in March 2014 and he is still missing. Dozens of its middle level leadership have also been killed by security forces. Hasil Baloch is the most recent one, who was killed by helicopter shelling in Kolwah region of Balochistan on the western route of CPEC on Wednesday, 5th of October 2016. Dozens of its workers and leaders have been allegedly picked up by security forces, Shabir Baloch being the most recent, abducted on Tuesday.
Since 2009, thousands of political activists have gone missing, allegedly picked by security forces in Balochistan. Hundreds of the abducted persons were found dead on road sides after some period of the abduction. Hundreds of military operations took place on the routes of CPEC, villages burnt, populations forcefully displaced, for which there are clear evidences available.
Government of Pakistan has openly said again and again that 'no hurdles would be tolerated on the way of CPEC' and has taken this project as matter of its survival and had clearly said that any one opposes these projects would be considered as culprits. Even the Islamabad backed Balochistan Government has claimed recently that the security forces have 'arrested 13,575, killed 375 during 2,825 military operations in Balochistan', under what Government calls 'National Action Plan'. But neither the details of the killed persons had been made public nor of the 'arrested' ones.
In most of military operations, the educated youths are the target of extra judicial killings and the enforced disappearances. While on the other hand the Islamic schools and madrassas are increasing in numbers and operate freely. There are serious concerns among people of Balochistan that the security establishment of Pakistan seems to have a plan for cleansing the educated youths from Balochistan.

The Get Down – Part 2 Official Trailer
Buy The Get Down Soundtrack (Part 1 & Part 2)
After 8 months of the release of The Get Down Part 1 on Netflix, we finally have access to the rest of the 5 episodes of the most comprehensive dramatised show about the evolution of Hip Hop. It's one of the most expensive television series to make alongside Game Of Thrones and Lost, costing an average $10 million per episode.
The first part of the series takes us through the lives of characters symbolic of varying elements that contributed to the birth of Hip Hop (emceeing, djing, graffit and dancing) during the phasing out of the funky sexy disco era to give way to a more raw and youthful voice of the streets.
The Get Down Part 2 sees The Get Down Brothers (Justice Smith as Ezekiel "Zeke" "Books" Figuero, Shameik Moore as Curtis "Shaolin Fantastic" Caldwell, Skylan Brooks as Ronald "Ra-Ra" Kipling, Tremaine Brown Jr. as Miles "Boo-Boo" Kipling and Jaden Smith as Marcus "Dizzee" Kipling) and Mylene Cruz (Herizen F. Guardiola) at a considerable amount of success locally, taking their passions to the next level and out of their borough.
With input from Hip Hop legends NAS and Grandmaster Flash, it's wild to witness history in the making through the vibrancy that creator Baz Lurhmann and his wife Catherine Martin, an Oscar-winning costume designer in particular for by-gone eras. The series draws on Flash's own anecdotes, most notably in the scenes that include the art of turntablism that he pioneered.

Draft 2010: Breaking down the defensive tackles »
An opinion that Roger Goodell Sits Steelers QB Roethlisberger for two games
April 10th, 2010 Matt Loede Posted in Off the Cuff, Pittsburgh Steelers
All signs Monday point to any possible charges against Ben Roethlisberger being dismissed, meaning things slowly should get back to normal for he and the Steelers. The last month has been one of story after story coming out about the night of March 5th, as Roethlisberger has been under a microscope as well as exactly what went down with a 20-year old accusing him of sexual assault. Now though, those distractions should go away.
Despite that, it remains blurry about what, if any, type of punishment the QB will have to face from the league. Sure, no charges were levied at Roethlisberger, but taking into consideration what took place last offseason with another woman involving the QB, has commish Roger Goodell finally seen enough? A decision about if the QB is going to have to face a suspension is up to Goodell, and here's betting despite being not charged with a crime, Ben is going to have to sit a pair of games.
Now one would say that it's not a fair judgment to have to suspend a player that was not charged with a crime that easily could have been considered hear-say, but Goodell will throw the "player conduct policy" charge at the QB, meaning that it's time to take a seat and think about his actions.
Fair? Maybe. Then again, if Roethlsiberger has to sit games one and two of the season, and let's say those are games against the Ravens and Bengals, and the team starts 0-2 with Dennis Dixon under center, then Steeler Nation is going to be in quite the uproar. On the other hand, will sitting Ben a couple game get him the message that he simply has to end this 18-year-old behavior.
My guess -Ben's gonna sit two games. What do you think?
5 Responses to "An opinion that Roger Goodell Sits Steelers QB Roethlisberger for two games"
Sinclair says:
I believe that under the circumstance if Ben is not suspended for a few games Roger will have more to deal with from the minority community about how he appears to treat black players. Roger set the standard with other black players when he handed down sentences stating "although not convicted in a court of law the actions of the players were detrimental to the league and its image." This is the 2nd time in less than a year that allegations about the same conduct have been against Ben, if he does not take actions he will look like the racist some thinks is is as commissioner
You have to be kidding me. How could anyone say he's racist? That's a joke. A lot of the players that have been getting in trouble have happened to be black. Goodell can't control what race is making these stupid decisions. They all should be punished by the severity of what they've done. It has nothing to do with race
Sinclair, its completely crazy to bring race into this situation, lets take a look at all of the people suspended for incidents and compare. Mike Vick, arrested, convicted, admitted and plead guilty, two felonies. Went to prison. Donte Stalworth, hit and killed a person while drunk, arrested, convicted, prison. Pacman Jones, Arrested a # of times, on probation and about 8 other incidents that were minor with no arrests, although implicated in drugs and shootings! Ben has not been arrested or even charged in either situation. Admitted that they look bad and he needs a talking too, but these players are free men and last time I checked going to a club or even being single is not illegal. Cops/DA always look to press charges even when a case is very light on evidence, no matter what color the people are, if there not pressing charges that pretty much says that this whole thing is either blown way up or stinks like the Nevada case of lawsuit happy women, think Kobe Bryant. The NFL should start standing behind players until the facts are out and I think they will in this case, I expect a good a** chewing for him by the Rooney's and the commish, they dont owe an explanation to the "minority community" as you put. Find another player who was suspended for similar conduct black or white
it's ridiculous 2 even think that ben should get a to game suspension. he didnt do anything wrong. yea he has been accused twice by women of sexual assault, but no charges hav been pressed in both cases. he didnt do a damn thing wrong. im tired of ppl saying it's ben's lifestylee that gets him n2 trouble. he's a young, very rich, and 2 time super bowl winning, and he likes 2 go to the club. let him party, he's single. ben didnt do anything wrong and money hungry women accuse him of sexual assualt. wat is he suppose 2 do? never go out to theclub again, never talk to another gurl again, bc that's where ur getting at
people who bring race into it are the real racists. People who think that someone that being accused means your should be punished need to go live in Russia or China

Q: Access VBA: Is there any way to get computer specs? I'm creating a form in Access that processes millions of lines of data, and takes several hours (depending on your computer).
I want to implement a feature that will read the computer specs, such as CPU speed and amount of RAM, and determine how long the process will take.
Is it possible to get the computer specs using VBA?

A: 1) There is this "environ" function that can give you informations on the "computer" environment. It is usually used to get things such as user name or temp folder, but it is said to return the following values:
environ(x): value returned
1 : ALLUSERSPROFILE
2 : APPDATA
3 : CLIENTNAME
4 : CommonProgramFiles
5 : COMPUTERNAME
6 : ComSpec
7 : HOMEDRIVE
8 : HOMEPATH
9 : LOGONSERVER
10 : NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS
11 : OS
12 : Path
13 : PATHEXT
14 : PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
15 : PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER
16 : PROCESSOR_LEVEL
17 : PROCESSOR_REVISION
18 : ProgramFiles
19 : SESSIONNAME
20 : SystemDrive
21 : SystemRoot
22 : TEMP
23 : TMP
24 : USERDOMAIN
25 : USERNAME
26 : USERPROFILE
27 : windir

2) you have some shell functions that can be used to launch external programs and get a value back. In addition to the standard VBA shell function, you also have some interesting things such as this "shell and wait" function.
3) Of course, you can always declare functions from the windows API in your VBA code and use them to get needed values ...

Mitie's Ruby McGregor-Smith backs the coalition government's deep budget cuts. Guess who stands to benefit?
We can't help bringing a bit of baggage to an interview. In Ruby McGregor-Smith's case, it's a trolley-full, starting with how I once described the boss of Flybe, the regional airline.
"You called him squat," cries McGregor-Smith, wide-eyed with anxiety. She has clearly been scanning my work for adjectives.
I certainly can't. Then there's the fact she has appeared on this page before, three years ago, when I was away. It was the first interview she gave as a chief executive. She had no idea journalists wanted to know so much.


Britney Spears is headed back to Las Vegas! "Extra's" Mario Lopez was on hand tonight to make the big announcement with the star at the Toshiba Plaza in Las Vegas, where she was set to appear for a Spirit Day rally for GLAAD.
Mario surprised the crowd with the news that Britney will begin a new residency at the Park Theater at Park MGM beginning in February. The new show comes on the heels of her wildly successful residency at Planet Hollywood.
Spears is in good company, as other A-list stars like Bruno Mars, Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, and Aerosmith have had residencies at the new Park MGM Resort. Tickets for the new Britney show go on sale Oct. 26.

Q: Running a dynamic amount of asynchronous tasks in bash I have a bash-script that should run a synchronize task oil r cron:sync $id on all IDs in a config file, as I'm quite new to bash, I was wondering about how to do it.
The thing is, syncs have to be done every 10 seconds, and it should not wait for a sync, thus I'm using & between the syncs
Currently I have this file:
#!/bin/bash

cd /var/www/script/

i="0";

function dsync {
        oil r cron:sync $1
}

while [ $i -lt 10 ]; do
        echo ">> Syncing IDs - loop $i"
        dsync 126776804 & dsync 108792704 & dsync 108291602

        sleep 10
        i=$[$i+1]
done

Now the question is, what if I have a file with on each line the IDs that have to be synced, how would I go by doing this ?

A: Your syntax when starting the tasks is wrong. To start them all in background you need to place them on separate lines:
dsync 126776804 &
dsync 108792704 &
dsync 108291602 &

You are further saying it should not wait for a sync. Having this, I assume that you don't care about the return status of the tasks, is this assumption correct?

A: I think what you want is something like:
#!/bin/bash

cd /var/www/script/

i="0";

function dsync {
        oil r cron:sync $1
}

while [ $i -lt 10 ]; do
        echo ">> Syncing IDs - loop $i"

        for j in $(cat ids.txt); do
          dsync $j &
        done

        sleep 10
        i=$[$i+1]
done

A: For variable count of parallel evocations of the dsync you can use the xargs in form:
xargs -n1 -I% -P0 oil r cron:sync % < filename_with_IDs

example with a pipe
seq 100010 100015 | xargs -n1 -I% -P0 echo oil r cron:sync %

produces
oil r cron:sync 100011
oil r cron:sync 100010
oil r cron:sync 100012
oil r cron:sync 100013
oil r cron:sync 100014
oil r cron:sync 100015

(ofc, you need remove the echo)
The -P0 ensures than any number of arguments will be executed in parallel (forked into background)
from the man:

-P max-procs
Run up to max-procs processes at a time; the default is 1.  If max-procs is 0, xargs will  run  as  many
processes  as  possible  at a time.  Use the -n option with -P; otherwise chances are that only one exec
will be done.


When I'm not knitting or spinning, I'm taking care of my fam, cooking, eating, fixing computer stuff, dinking with web sites, and learning to work with WordPress, because Blogger has done me wrong. Bastards.
I have just received a calendar with these very cool cable hats (without the flaps, but I'm going to try those next) and I'm so old that I need to know what size needles you suggest I use and the gauge. I don't see it in the paper pattern on the calendar or the one on your site. Could you enlighten me?
Thanks for my daughter's snowboarding earflap hat pattern (the video was helpful for this first time knitter). I tried switching to DPNs when the hat got too small for the circular needles but stiches seemed to be fused to the DPN so tight that I can't get another needle into it (chopstick hat, anyone?). How can I finish this hat? Also, do I sew polatec inside the flaps and a rim of about 2 inches inside it like the ones I see at REI?
I have been looking for this ear flap pattern.
Thank you but do I have to print 26 pages to get it?
How do I just get the pattern.
I really like your baby/kids earflap hat but I need to make it to fit a 24 month old so could you tell me how to do that?
Margi, which pattern are you trying to print?
Julie, I was looking through the lands end catalog (for kids) and in it is a lined ear flap hat that is really cute. Therefore I went on line looking for earflap hats for toddlers. Found yours and it really is cute.
If you have the time to go on line to lands end and take a look at their striped earflap hat for toddlers (HG59529 – style #) – maybe you can tell me how to make the earflaps look more like the ones in the catalog. I'm sure it has to do with just starting to widen the earflap much sooner than in your current patter. But I am not talented enough to do this. Any idea?
Chrys, I can't seem to find the one you are talking about…searching on that item # doesn't yield anything, and I looked through the entire hat section and didn't see and striped earflap hats.
If you're not already a member of ravelry.com, I urge you to join — I am positive that you can find what you're looking for (and then some!!) there.
If you'd just go to ll bean kids, then to toddlers, then to outerwear and then hats.
Hi Julie – I want to knit an ear flap hat for my great grandson. I found one that I like very much on your web site – it is a blue/white verigated with seed stitch earflaps and a few rows of seed stitch around the base of the hat. The rest is ss.
I didn't see a pattern or size needles.
Row 2: *yo, k1, sk2p, k1, yo, k1* (repeat around).
Row 4: *k1, yo, sk2p, yo, k2* (repeat around).
Repeat rows 2-5 two times.
Continue knitting all rounds until piece measures 5 (5, 5.5) inches from bottom.
I am so fed up with ripping this out – please explain???
I am knitting your hat with earflaps, large infant size. I have just finished adding the earflaps and am counting my stitches but something doesn't add up. I was wondering if you could clarify. On the pattern, it says I should have 84 stitches on my needles, but if I do the math (and count my stitches) it should add up to 88. It's 14 stitches cast on + 15 stitches for earflap 1 + another 30 stitches cast on + 15 stitches from earflap 2 + the last 14 stitches cast on (14+15+30+15+14= 88).
Thanks for helping me out with this. Can't wait to finish the hat for my daughter!
In the first knit row of the hat, you'll see that the instructions tell you to k2tog to close up the gaps on either side of the earflap. so that's 2 flaps…one stitch on either side…a total decrease of four stitches.
Makes sense! Thanks so much for clarifying.
i need some help with the basic earflap hat. when it says to knit straight till flap is 3.5″ does that mean to just knit or to do the stockingnet stitch? still new to knitting and sometimes have trouble understand some patterns. thank you for any help you can give me.
My name is Jenn and I'm with the marketing team at Craftsy. I came across your blog and I wanted to reach out to see if you would be interested in getting involved in our new crafts community?
If you're interested, please shoot me an email!
Hey Julie. I love, love your patterns. I particularly wanted to make the cabled earflap hat for a two-year-old girl, and a four-year-old girl. The instructions are for infant size. What do you suggest I do to make this pattern go to these bigger sizes? Many thanks for any help you can give and for being so generous with your talents.
Is the basic earflap hat for adults or children? I had chemo and I do like the cap for the upcoming cold winter.
Is the basic earflap cap for adults too?
I have just found this site and love it. I wonder why the archives end in Dec of 08…. I continue to try to learn how to knit just a little better with each project.
Hi Julie, I am making the Lace-Edged Women's Hat. When you finish the 6th decrease it says to continue in this pattern, decreasing every row. Does that mean to repeat the 6th decrease every row or keep going down like the 1st-5th decrease does? (do I do this every row K7(8,9) K2tog until 12 stitches remain? OR do I continue the decreasing pattern like K6 (7,8) K2tog; then K5 (6,7) K2tog?) Thanks!

Q: jQuery Ajax - how to get response data in error I have a simple web application.
I've created the server REST API so it will return a response with HTTP code and a JSON (or XML) object with more details: application code (specific to scenario, message that describe what happened etc.).
So, for example if a client send a Register request and the password is too short, the response HTTP code will be 400 (Bad Request),  and the response data will be: {appCode : 1020 , message : "Password is too short"}.
In jQuery I'm using the "ajax" function to create a POST request. When the server returns something different from HTTP code 200 (OK), jQuery defines it as "error".
The error handler can get 3 parameters: jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown.
Ho can I get the JSON object that sent by the server in error case?
Edit:
1) Here is my JS code:
function register (userName, password) {
    var postData = {};
    postData["userName"] = userName;
    postData["password"] = password;

    $.ajax ({
        dataType: "json",
        type: "POST",
        url: "<server>/rest/register",
        data: postData,
        success: function(data) {
            showResultSucceed(data);
            hideWaitingDone();
        },
        error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {

            showResultFailed(jqXHR.responseText);
            hideWaitingFail();
        }
    })
}

2) When looking at Firebug console, it seems like the response is empty.
When invoking the same request by using REST testing tool, I get a response with JSON object it it.
What am I doing wrong?

A: Here's an example of how you get JSON data on error:
$.ajax({
    url: '/path/to/script.php',
    data: {'my':'data'},
    type: 'POST'
}).fail(function($xhr) {
    var data = $xhr.responseJSON;
    console.log(data);
});

From the docs:

If json is specified, the response is parsed using jQuery.parseJSON before being passed, as an object, to the success handler. The parsed JSON object is made available through the responseJSON property of the jqXHR object.

Otherwise, if responseJSON is not available, you can try $.parseJSON($xhr.responseText).

A: directly from the docs

The jQuery XMLHttpRequest (jqXHR) object returned by $.ajax() as of
  jQuery 1.5 is a superset of the browser's native XMLHttpRequest
  object. For example, it contains responseText and responseXML
  properties, as well as a getResponseHeader()

so use the jqXRH argument and get the responseText property off it.
In the link above, look for the section entitled
The jqXHR Object

A: I also faced same problem when i was using multipart/form-data. At first I thought multipart/form-data created this mess, but later i found the proper solution.
1) JS code before:
var jersey_url = "http://localhost:8098/final/rest/addItem/upload";
var ans = $.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
    url: jersey_url,
    data: formData,
    dataType: "json",
    processData: false,
    contentType: false
    success : funtion(data){
      var temp = JSON.parse(data);
      console.log("SUCCESS : ", temp.message);
    }
    error : funtion($xhr,textStatus,errorThrown){
       console.log("ERROR : ", errorThrown);
       console.log("ERROR : ", $xhr);
       console.log("ERROR : ", textStatus);
    }
    });

Here when error occurred, it showed me this in console :-

Error :

Error : { abort : f(e), always : f(), .... , responseJSON :"{"message":"failed"}" }

Error : error

Thus i came to know that we have to use $xhr.responseJSON to get the string message which we sent from rest api.
2) modified/working error funtion:
error : funtion($xhr,textStatus,errorThrown){
        var string= $xhr.responseJSON;
        var json_object= JSON.parse(string);
        console.log("ERROR : ",  json_object.message);
    }

Thus will output "Error : failed" on console.

A: After spending so much time on this problem, I found the problem.
The page is under the URL: www.mydomain.com/register
The REST api is under the URL: server.mydomain.com/rest
Seems like this kind of POST is not so simple.
I'm going to search more information to understand this issue better (if you have more information please share it with me).
When putting the REST API under www.mydomain.com/rest - everything is working fine.

ALGONA — Early in the live auction a bidding war surfaced for a simple item like a Rock star parking spot that included VIP parking and a personalized sign. The more than 400 people sitting at the tables at the Friedmann Auditorium cheered them on.
When finished, two people bid $10,000 each to have the Rock star parking spot.
That set the tone for the evening during this year's Gala, "The Big Apple: Start Spreading the News." When the evening was over an estimated $407,000 was raised. That is the best year on record.
Over the course of 29 years, Bishop Garrigan's Gala has raised more than $6.5 million to help children in the school.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Aesthetic Cognitivism is a theory about the value of the arts that approaches them not simply (or not even) as sources of delight, amusement, pleasure, or emotional catharsis, but, instead, as sources of understanding.
Cognitivism Principle #1: Learning Should Be More Focused and Purposeful. ... Cognitivism Principle #2: Learning Should be Self-Directed. ... Cognitivism Principle #3: Learning Should Come from Discovery and Analysis. ... Cognitivism and Real Learning.
Cognitive theory is an approach to psychology that attempts to explain human behavior by understanding your thought processes. 1 For example, a therapist is using principles of cognitive theory when they teach you how to identify maladaptive thought patterns and transform them into constructive ones.
Research in Cognitive Psychology These include perception, human learning, attention, categorization, problem solving, decision–making, information processing and retrieval, short and long-term memory and forgetting, sensory encoding, motor control, psycholinguistics, and reading.
It explores internal mental processes such as language, problem solving and memory. ... Cognitive psychology is very useful and popular because it can be applied to many fields in psychology, which includes memory, attention, perception, child development, problem solving, eyewitness testimony and gender role development.
Overall, dreaming appears to be a gradual cognitive development that is tightly linked to the development of visual imagination. ... However, while a cat may experience images and emotions in sleep, it is less likely that these experiences are tied together by a narrative as is the case in our typical dreams[127].
The cognitive process dream theory states that dreams are simply thoughts or sequences of thoughts that occur during sleep-states. Dreams express conceptions of self, family members, friends, and social environment.
Sleeping issues that cause a lack of sleep, such as insomnia and narcolepsy, can increase one's risk of experiencing vivid dreams. Changes to your sleep schedule, such as flying overseas (and going to sleep at a different time) or getting less sleep than usual, can also increase this risk.
Memory: Memory is an important cognitive process that allows people to encode, store, and retrieve information.
A cognitive memory is a learning system. Learning involves storage of patterns or data in a cognitive memory. The learning process for cognitive memory is unsupervised, i.e. autonomous.
The three main forms of memory storage are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is not consciously controlled; it allows individuals to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased.
"Cognitive decline may begin after midlife, but most often occurs at higher ages (70 or higher)." (Aartsen, et al., 2002) "… relatively little decline in performance occurs until people are about 50 years old." (Albert & Heaton, 1988).
People with Alzheimer disease and even mild cognitive impairment may be dangerous to themselves or others on the road. Assessments of driving ability could be useful for evaluating whether or not people with impaired cognition should in fact drive at all.

The white opal acrylic finish creates a simple and clean ambience that easily can be placed around a room to simplify the design or theme of the room.
The shade of the lamp is made of molded white opal acrylic as well, while the base and the housing are made from an injection molded ABS.
Reaching a bit shorter than the mini table lamp, the Panthella table lamp has a cable of 2.1 meters, with an in-line switch on cord. This gives the lamp a simple usage, but also an even more basic functional rate.
This lamp is a great addition for the bold yet simple theme. If you are looking for a light fixture to tie the room together in an easy, yet seemingly traditional design, the table lamp is a perfect fit. Though it is traditionally designed in nature, the colour and emission of the lamp promotes a modern look, which means that it can be fit into any type of theme.

Michigan Primary Has One Bright Spot for Common Core Opponents
August 6, 2014 By Shane Vander Hart
Over all the Michigan Republican Primary yesterday was not a good day for Common Core opponents. Debbie Debacker of Stop Common Core in Michigan told me yesterday that most of candidates running against Common Core lost.
I didn't track those races, I don't know all of the players, nor do I know how many were going up against incumbents. So it's hard to provide any type of analysis and I really don't know how much Common Core was an issue in each race compared to say the quality of the candidates.
It's not enough to just be against Common Core to win a race, in particular if you are running against an incumbent which is always tough to do anyway.
Debbie indicated that pro-Common Core candidates were well funded by Michigan businesswoman and philanthropist Betsy DeVos (who is a huge Common Core and charter school supporter), as well as, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. It is also hard to beat someone who has more money to spend.
So without any more information I really can't perform a postmortem of the Michigan Republican primary. I was disappointed to learn that Tom McMillin who was a strong Common Core opponent in the Michigan House lost his bid for Congress. He was beat by former State Senator Majority Leader Mike Bishop in Michigan's 8th Congressional District Republican primary. Bishop was endorsed by the outgoing Congressman Mike Rogers. McMillin is term-limited so he was not able to run for reelection as a state representative.
I will say that based on national polling I've seen I highly doubt Common Core advocacy was what won elections for anybody. More than likely it was downplayed on top of a lot of rhetoric that they respect local control, yada yada…
There was one obvious bright spot however. Two-term State Representative Frank Foster (R-Petoskey) was beat by Lee Chatfield, a 26-year-old Christian school teacher in Michigan House District 107 54% to 46%.
The local paper painted Common Core as being a primary issue.
From the start, Chatfield has portrayed Foster as a supporter of the nationwide Common Core State Standards for education that were adopted in Michigan in June 2010 and have led to controversial debate in several states.
But Foster says the federal standards were adopted just before he was first elected in November 2010 and ever since he arrived in Lansing he has voted to put in place safeguards that return control over curriculum to the local districts.
"The standards were adopted but the big thing was whether the legislature was going to fund the implementation of that," Foster said. "They call it Common Core but really what we said is we understand this process is moving forward, however we think that Petoskey schools ought to have the right to adopt their own curriculum if they don't like what Common Core is doing."
Foster is a 27-year-old Republican and Petoskey resident who represents the state House's 107th district, which includes part of Cheboygan County and all of Emmet, Mackinac and Chippewa counties.
Last year, the legislature briefly paused its changeover to the Common Core standards but later reauthorized the Michigan Department of Education to continue implementing them again. The state Department of Education says "the (Common Core) standards promote equity by ensuring all students, no matter where they live, are well prepared with the skills and knowledge necessary to compete with their peers in the United States and abroad."
Apparently Foster approved the funding, and he tried to downplay it. It either didn't work or there were other issues at play as well. Elections are rarely won or lost over one issue.
Congratulations to Lee Chatfield, and I want to wish Tom McMillin well.
Just for reference sake, I've written about Common Core as an election issue here, here and here.

Other anti common core candidate who won. Cindy Gamrat, Todd Courser, and Gary Glenn. Probably others that I'm forgetting now.

Well, MI-3's Justin Amash slapped down Common Core Crony Brian Ellis 57-43%. You'll love his victory speech. Also, John Moolenaar won his 3 way race 51-38-11% in MI-4. In the great state of Kansas, KS-1's Tim Huelskamp fended off Common Core loving Alan LaPolice.

i saw his speech and he was FANTASTIC!


Almost three weeks have passed since Anthony Sullivan and I launched The Submissions Grinder, a web-based tool for writers to find markets, track submissions, and look at market response statistics. At the time of launch the site was very simple, with a limited set of features, and admittedly some stability issues.
Just because we are the only free option does not mean that we have been resting on our laurels. We have been working hard on the site. The site stability issues of those early days have been resolved. New features, enhancements of existing features, and bug fixes have been added steadily. We now have more than 900 approved market listings, and counting. We have hundreds of registered users who have logged almost 8000 submissions into the system.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has registered, logged submissions, spread the word about our site, reported bugs, suggested market listings, suggested features, volunteered to keep market listings up to date, donated money to us, or shared feedback. We are glad to know that our effort has not been in vain, and that our tool is serving as a resource for writers like us.
Now that the Grinder has been around for a while we just wanted to share some of our favorite features that are now in place, and some features that are in the works. The Submissions Grinder is worlds better than it was at its launch on January 7, but we're not done yet. These are just a few of our current and future features in the works.
Please feel free to leave comments here or elsewhere about what features are important to you, what you think of our current and planned features, or anything else that you'd like to say.
These are the core functionalities that make the site a worthwhile tool.
The Grinder keeps a list of your fiction pieces, and you can make entries for each submission of each story, keep track of which ones are pending. You can quickly filter your results down to show just the set you are interested in, such as all the submissions made to a particular market, or all the submissions of a particular story.
You can search for new markets for your work, based on various parameters, including length, genre, pay rates, and many other factors that are important to us writers. If you're a new writer, this kind of tool is essential to finding places to send your work. If you're a veteran writer, you might still find something new from time to time.
This is really the most valuable thing that this system provides. The data from every submission is combined to make anonymous statistics for all to view, so you can see the response times for different markets to decide where you want to submit or when to query an existing submission.
For the initial release, we focused primarily on getting the core functionality working, and then on squashing bugs and improving the feature set. But we've gotten a lot of feedback that said that the Courier font used for the site was hard on the eyes. We want to make the site as friendly to you users as we can, so we listened to that feedback and changed the font of most of the site to make it more readable. We also added colored boxes and shadows to offset and emphasis certain areas of the screen and to add some variety. And we now have a logo. This has been a recent change, and we'd like to know what you think of the new look, so do give us comments.
For each market, we provide numbers that show the minimum, average, median, and maximum response times. But we've also added a new feature that sets us apart–response time histograms. There's only so much you can gather from looking at those four statistical numbers, but you can get a much better feel for a market's response times by seeing a response time histogram, which are included with each of our market listings.
For instance, here is a snapshot of the histogram from Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show. You can see that there is a very strong peak of responses that take place at about 30 days. There are some that are shorter, even down to 1 day, and a smattering of longer ones. This is very representative of my experience with the magazine. They have a very steady slush response time at about 30 days, but stories that make it out of slush are much less predictable and longer, while the shorter response times can be the editor plucking stories from the slush directly or for writers that may have more history with the magazine and bypass the slush. With just a quick glance you can get a very good feel for these details by looking at this graph.
So far all of our listings and data fields are fiction based. We will add poetry and non-fiction listings to help writers keep track of those too.
We intend to put a system in place to allow staff members of publications to participate in the upkeep of their page, such as opening and closing dates, changes in rates, adding in seasonal themes/guidelines, etc. This will help the markets keep their pages as accurate as possible which will help encourage a volume of quality submissions, and will help ease the load on us as we try to keep listings up to date.
Right now, openings and closings of markets are manually entered by us. But there are many cases where markets schedule their opening and closing dates far in advance, so there will be support added to automate this process.
Writers may decide never to submit to particular markets, for editorial policy, personal feelings, or for whatever other reason. Each writer will be able to choose to ignore that market so that it will not come up in their searches anymore.
On the homepage of The Grinder website, you can see the 40 most recent responses across the whole site. We intend to provide something similar that shows you such recent responses but only for the markets where you have pending submissions, so that you can tell at a glance where the response activity is happening.
Right now the histograms are shown for every market. But in the future, if you are a logged in user with pending submissions at that market, those pending submissions will be marked on the histogram with a line, so that you can see where you lie in the spectrum of response times so far, giving you a quick visual queue about how unusual your current wait time is.
If you like what we're doing, give us suggestions on how we can be better, suggest new market listings, report bugs, upload your data and use the submission tracker. We've added a Donate button as well–we appreciate anything you can give, and we maintain our commitment to not require any payment to use the site. Thanks!

Q: Tensorflow-Lite unresolved reference for tfLite!!.setUseNNAPI in kotlin Android App I am trying to run this app which is an object detection application. The app uses Tensorflow-Lite.
When trying to run this app I get the error
Unresolved reference: setUseNNAPI

for these lines
override fun setUseNNAPI(isChecked: Boolean) {
    if (tfLite != null) tfLite!!.setUseNNAPI(isChecked)
}

It cannot find a reference for tfLite!!.setUseNNAPI(isChecked). This function should somehow be connected to the Interpreter options but these are set in the create method:
    @Throws(IOException::class)
    fun create(
            assetManager: AssetManager,
            modelFilename: String,
            labelFilename: String,
            inputSize: Int,
            isQuantized: Boolean): Classifier {
        ...

        try {
            val options = Interpreter.Options()
            options.setNumThreads(4)
            options.setUseNNAPI(false)
            d.tfLite = Interpreter(loadModelFile(assetManager, modelFilename), options)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            throw RuntimeException(e)
        }

Does anyone have a clue of what is going on?

A: Please check the build.gradle file for app.
If you see the below line or if the version is less than 2.3.0 update it to the latest version
implementation 'org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite:0.0.0-nightly'
change it to
implementation 'org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite:2.3.0'
it is not downloading the latest tensorflow-lite version for android.
Hope this fixes your issue
