Q: How to open an index.html I have a site with two different languages(tr and en). These are in two different folder(tr and en) and each has their own index.html. I want to open tr's index.html at the beginning. My configaration so far;
<VirtualHost #ip-address#:80>
    *
    *
    *
    DocumentRoot #path-to-directory#
    *
    *
    *
</VirtualHost>

I tried to add
DirectoryIndex tr/index.html

it did not work.
I tried
DocumentRoot #path-to-directory#/tr

but I could not acces
http://<site-name>/en/index.html

How can I do that? I have tried redirect but it did not work as well.

A: I am not sure if you are able to force the browser to show the default page, as that sort of defeats it's purpose. The best idea I could think of would be to leave the default as index.html, and use mod_rewrite to direct index.html to app.php.
This should work for the default index ( www.domain.com) and show desired url in browser ( www.domain.com/app.php )
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName *.mysite.co.uk
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/mysite/web/"
DirectoryIndex index.html

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ app.php$1 [L,R=301]

With less than a week to the plastic ban deadline imposed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the civic body will be organising an exhibition from June 22 – 24 at National Sports Club of India (NSCI) in Worli to help citizens with the alternatives to plastic and its recycling options. The exhibition stalls will have categories which would provide solutions to plastic alternatives, plastic recyclers, bottle crushers, and companies with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
The state government had issued a notification on March 23 imposing a ban on manufacture, use, sale, distribution, and storage of all plastic materials such as one-time-use bags, spoons, plates, and also thermocol items. A grace period of three months has been given to the manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to dispose of the existing stock of the banned items.
The BMC has been appealing to the citizens to dispose of all the single-use plastic items before June 23. Thereon, the civic body would impose a heavy fine of up to Rs. 10,000 if anyone is seen carrying or using items which are included in the ban. It has also assigned as many as 200 officials to take action against offenders. Meanwhile, the BMC has set up a toll-free helpline (1800-222-357) for citizens so that they can collect the banned plastic and hand it over to garbage collectors.

For the recording sessions of Spec Ops: The Line, the actors playing Walker, Adams and Lugo recorded all their lines together in one room, in hopes that a realistic character dynamic would develop between them. They also recorded all their lines in chronological sequence in long, tiring sessions, such that by the end of the recording sessions they were tired, angry and eager to go home just like the characters themselves.

S03E37 FindingTheVoices with Mr. Oinam Khelchandra Singh, Understanding the Rituals for the dead in Manipur.
FindingTheVoices with Mr. Oinam Khelchandra Singh, Understanding the Rituals for the dead in Manipur.
For those who are left behind, a funeral provides a place for family and friends to gather for support and to reminisce, an opportunity to celebrate the life and accomplishments of a loved one, a chance to say goodbye, and the focal point from which the healing process can begin. The funeral identifies that a person's life has been lived, not that a death has occurred. It is also important to notify the community that this person is no more.
There are thousands of different culture and communities in India, and they practice different customs and rituals for a funeral.
This episode is a documentation of the meitei-meetei (or meitei-hindu) funeral rites and ceremonies. We have Mr. Oinam Khelchandra Singh, Arangbham Purel, from Sagolband Sayang Leikai helping us out in this episode as we try and cover all the customs and their significances.
Mr. Khelchandra Singh learnt everything about the rituals from the elders and performers and has been practicing for 30 years now.
We talk about the rituals to be followed when a person passes away, about lamboiba, and he describes the traditional customs step by step in detail. We discuss why clothes are burnt after a funeral, the purpose of lighting a candle or a small lamp at the place of cremation and other such topics. He also tells us the purpose of various rituals and about the symbolic meaning of the attire people wear during the 14 day period of the ceremony.
Banana leaves are used in a number of occasions in various regions of India. In Manipur, these leaves are used during religious rituals as well as a form of invitation for certain traditional customs. This episode is dedicated to the significance of banana leaves in Manipur, a documentation of the art form that has been practiced since the time of Kings and Queens. Madam Saroj Nalini Ingudam presents very thorough information on this practice with the help of her M. Phil paper from 1987-88. Banana leaves are used in every major ritual in a person's life; starting from birth ceremonies (Swasti Puja, Yupan Thaba), "Na Hutpa", marriage ceremonies, and also during funeral rituals. There have been a few changes in the way the leaves are used during rituals, for example, the "Tang Yatpa" came into practice only after the arrival of Hindu religion in Manipur. However, the same old practices are still followed without any change in traditional Meitei festivals like "Lai Haraoba".
Madam Saroj also talks about the different variety of banana leaves and their purposes; Leihou La, Leiyai La, Changbi La, Noney La to mention a few. The most commonly used is the Noney La, which is suitable for use in feasts because of its odorless quality. Madam Saroj also describes a little about how these leaves were so commonly used as invitations before the printed version of invitations came out. A description of how banana leaves are used as invitation for Shri Govindaji is shown towards the end of this episode.

Download Lily's Garden APK – For Android/iOS
Mobile Games, Casual Games, Puzzle Games
Publisher Tactile Games
Playrix's Gardenscapes remains to be one of the most engaging tile matching casual simulation games on the mobile market. This is not a bold claim at all considering that the game is being played by more than 7.5 million active users on a daily basis. It is also not surprising if many clones will come up adapting the same concept. Lily's Garden is probably one of the best successor from this game. It captures the same concept but delivered in a very unique approach. The objective is to restore the garden that is inherited by Lily from her late Aunt. It also features a match 2 puzzle.
In Gardenscapes, we were introduced to Austin the Butler who helped you restoring the garden that is inherited by you. In Lily's Garden, the game features a much more compelling story. It welcomes you with a cinematic introduction. Lily's life was somehow miserable and everything in her life is considerably failure from her work to her love life. Until one day, a lawyer approached her to inform Lily that her Aunt Mary passed away but left her a piece of land. After arriving on the said land, Lily was welcomed by an almost-forgotten and abandoned garden. To add more display, the contract states that she can only claim th land if she managed to restore the garden back to its former glory withing 30 days.
The mechanics of the game are very simple and easily manageable. Lily's Garden will take you to a series of challenging levels with varying range of difficulties. If you have played Gardenscapes, then you should know the drill. The garden will be restored step by step. Each action requires certain amount of stars. Creating a pathway for example requires One Star. Take note that you cannot randomly fix an item or an area in the garden. Everything will be listed on your clipboard.
In order to earn a star, you need to play the tile matching puzzle. Unlike Gardenscape which features a classic Match 3 puzzle, Lily's Garden features a Match 2 tile matching puzzle. You will be prompted into a dynamically-changing grid filled with colorful tiles. Simply tap a tile to match 2 or more identical tiles and eliminate them. You will have different objectives in the game. Some level requires you to eliminate certain amount of specific colored tile while others will require you to eliminate daffodils or bring seeds down the grid.
Bring Back The Garden to Its Former Glory
The best part of Lily's Garden is to the customization part. It is very rewarding to see how the garden improves from being in a nightmarish condition back to its former glory. Interestingly, the improvement is in a slow paced and therefore, the 30 days period given to Lily will not really take 30 days but even longer. In order to clear the day, you must accomplish all tasks 100%. Each day is composed of more or less 15-20 tasks. Once you have completed a day, you will receive a bonus gift.
It is also interesting to note that Lily's Garden also features a live system. This live system is very similar to Gardenscapes where you lose a life when you failed to clear a level. Take note that you only have limited moves for each puzzle and if you ran out of it, you must play the same level until you managed to make it through but you will lose a life for each failure. You need to wait for awhile before the life meter is refilled.
Amazing Graphics
One of the greatest feature of Lily's Garden is the visually striking graphics. The game will greet you with colorful and stunning details. I personally think that the garden here is more polished than Gardenscape. The details are superb and very intricate which makes this game even more engaging. Not to mention the compelling plot. There's even a romantic story between Lily and his neighbor Luis. Many drama will arrive soon and that's something to look forward to.
Lily's Garden may be considered as clone to Gardenscapes but the game is special on its own. It is very entertaining , has remarkable longevity and features impressive graphics. The rate of difficulty for the puzzles are also drastically increasing as you progress which makes the game even more thrilling. Definitely worth a download. Lily's Garden is available for both iOs and Android devices and is absolutely free. Good luck and have fun!

The City of Trees is Full of History!
Starting in 1863, Boise has been a major city in the state of Idaho. The city is over 150 years old, so it's no wonder that Boise is full of historical landmarks, buildings, and other relics. Check out some of Old Boise's must-see locations!
This is the building that started it all! In the 1800's, this building used to be a fur-trading post at the mouth of the Boise River. After the year 1841, the fort became a place for travelers to get supplies. However, this only lasted until 1854 when the Company abandoned the fort (the fur trade was starting to decline). Because of this, another Fort Boise was constructed. This time, the fort was used as a small military post to protect local miners and emigrants from Native conflict. Boise (the city) was then placed between the fort and the Boise River. Eventually, Fort Boise became a community center for hosting everything from concerts and theatre productions to religious events and Christmas festivities. Today, this fort is now known as the Boise Veterans Administration Medical Center.
This building stands right on the outskirts of Downtown Boise on the corner of Vista Avenue and Federal Way. In the early 1900's, this station was used for the great Union Pacific Railroad. Architects from New York built the station (which was opened to the public in 1925); this can be seen through the intricately carved sandstone drinking fountains, the bell tower, and the paintings of locomotives. When the depot first opened, thousands of people from all across the country came to see it! It was at this point that the Boise Depot became one of the most beautiful buildings in the entire Northwest. Although it was very beautiful, the station itself was only in service for about seventy years (it closed down in the mid-1990's). Today, it is registered as a historical structure. Tours are held almost every day and can even be rented for special events like weddings. It is also a popular place for pictures of Downtown Boise, as well as the backdrop for sessions such as family photos and graduation pictures (since part of a train still sits on the tracks!). The Platt Gardens are also a part of the depot, full of trees, rocks, bushes, and even a pond of huge Koi! You can also find benches along the way to sit and enjoy the view of the Downtown skyline.
This old jailhouse is on the eastern side of Boise right off of Warm Springs Avenue. First built in 1872 on over 230 acres, this building served as the main prison in Boise until 1973. Men and women from all walks of life spent their time here. When prisoners were first brought there, they went straight to work by building a wall around the perimeter (made of sandstone). Once the wall was completed, inmates made things like license plates, shoes, and shirts. During its operation, about 13,000 inmates were housed here (and ten of them were executed behind the walls). Because of unfair living conditions, two different riots broke out, one in 1971 and the other in 1973 (this was just before they got moved to a more modernized prison). This prison is now a registered historical site visited by hundreds of visitors each year.
This fire station was built on the remains of the old fire station, which ironically burned to the ground. The original building was a one-story building in a converted blacksmith shop. The new one (built in 1883) was a two-story building that housed full-time firefighters. It was originally known as "City Hall Fire Station", but it was soon changed to "Central Fire Station". Since then, the fire station has moved to a different area (in 1980), and the old station was converted into a restaurant and some private offices since 1985.
This building stands right in the center of Downtown Boise and is one of the largest relics in all of Old Boise. The building itself was made out of sandstone and was completed in the early 1900's. For a long time, the Boise Capitol Building was the tallest thing in the whole city! It is (and always will be) the center of Idaho's executive and legislative branches and is also of great historical and current value. Tours are held inside and is a place for the people of Boise to have their voices heard.
This building was constructed in 1910 and was used as a store that sold awnings, tents, wagon covers, and other outdoor sporting goods to travelers and residents alike. It soon became one of Idaho's first and largest businesses of its kind! Today, the building has since been renovated and is occupied by two restaurants and a design studio on the first floor, as well as a number of small businesses on the second floor.
This is actually a little section of Downtown Boise that is filled with tons of historical buildings (including the Capitol Building, Fire Station, and Tent Building) that are over one hundred years old! Exploring this part of town is an educational journey that helps visitors from all over the country remember those who came before them and to commemorate their lives and greatest accomplishments. Downtown Boise is filled with incredible local businesses and activities! Click here for a list of awesome things to do in Downtown Boise on a Friday night!
As you can see, Old Boise has plenty of history for you to discover! There are other buildings that haven't been mentioned, so please feel free to visit all of them. There is also a walking tour of the downtown area, which will help you see most of the buildings and other relics quickly and easily. If you have any questions regarding tour times or hours of business for any of these locations, give them a call or visit their websites for more information. Your visit to each of these places will give you a sense of awe and admiration for those who built our beautiful City of Trees!

Q: Show that either $1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{p-1}=0$ or $1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{q-1}=0$,but not both together. Let a complex number $\alpha,\alpha\neq1$,be a root of the equation $z^{p+q}-z^p-z^q+1=0$,where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes.Show that either $1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{p-1}=0$ or $1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{q-1}=0$,but not both together.
Since $\alpha$ is a root of $z^{p+q}-z^p-z^q+1=0$.Therefore,$\alpha^{p+q}-\alpha^p-\alpha^q+1=0$ factorised to $(\alpha^p-1)(\alpha^q-1)=0$,but since $\alpha\neq1$
Therefore,either $1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{p-1}=0$ or $1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{q-1}=0$ or both equal to zero.Because we have studied that if $ab=0$,then either $a=0$ or $b=0$ or both equal to zero.But this is in contradiction to what is to be proved.My query is why cannot both be zero?

A: $z= \cos \theta+ i\sin \theta\to z^p = \cos p\theta+i\sin p\theta=1, z^q=1\to \cos q\theta + i\sin q\theta=1\to p\theta = 2m\pi, q\theta = 2n\pi\to \dfrac{m}{p}=\dfrac{n}{q}\to m = kp, n = kq\to \theta = 2k\pi\to z = 1$, contradiction since $z \neq 1$. Thus they cannot be both $0$.

A: Without even knowing the form of the roots:
\begin{align*}z^{p+q}-z^p-z^q+1&=(z^p-1)(z^q-1)\\&=(z-1^2)(1+z+z^2+.....+z^{p-1})(1+z+z^2+.....+z^{q-1})\end{align*}
Hence if $\alpha\neq 1$, $\;1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{p-1}=0\;$ or $\;1+\alpha+\alpha^2+.....+\alpha^{q-1}$.
Not both: If both, then we also have both $\;\alpha^p-1=0\;$  and  $\;\alpha^q-1=0$. However, it is a classic fact that
$$\gcd(z^p-1,z^q-1)=z^{\gcd(p,q)}-1=z-1,$$
so that, by Bézout's identity, there exist polynomials $u(z), v(z)$ such that
$$1=u(z)(z^p-1)+v(z)(z^q-1),\enspace\text{whence}\quad 1=u(\alpha)(\alpha^p-1)+v(\alpha)(\alpha^q-1)=0 $$
which is absurd.

A: Berenard's answer with a differtn perspective:
Let $I=\{\,n\in\mathbb Z\mid \alpha^n=1\,\}$. Trivially, $0\in I$. If $n\in I$ then also $-n\in I$. And if $n,m\in I$ then $\alpha^{n+m}=\alpha^n\alpha^m=1$ so that also $n+m\in I$. We conclude that $I$ is a subgroup of $\mathbb Z$, hence of the form $I=d\mathbb Z$ with $d\in\mathbb N_0$
Now if $\alpha$ is a root of $z^{p+q}-z^p-z^q+1$ then you already shows that $p\in I$ or $q\in I$. We are also given that $1\notin I$, i.e., $d\ne 1$. Then $p\in I$ implies $d\mid p$ and so $d=p$. Similarly $q\in I$ implies $d=q$. As $p\ne q$, we cannot have both $p\in I$ and $q\in I$.

A: If $a$ is a root of $1+z+z^2+\cdots+z^{m-1}=0\  \ \ \  (1),a\ne1$
and is a root of $\dfrac{z^m-1}{z-1}=0$
If $a$ is a root of $1+z+z^2+\cdots+z^{n-1}=0\  \ \ \  (2),a$ is a root of is a root of $\dfrac{z^n-1}{z-1}=0$
Now Prove that $\gcd(a^n - 1, a^m - 1) = a^{\gcd(n, m)} - 1$ says $(a^m-1,a^n-1)=a^{(m,n)}-1$
$$\implies\left(\dfrac{a^m-1}{a-1},\dfrac{a^n-1}{a-1}\right)=\dfrac{a^{(m,n)}-1}{a-1}$$
If $(m,n)=1,$
$$\left(\dfrac{a^m-1}{a-1},\dfrac{a^n-1}{a-1}\right)=1$$
$\implies(1),(2)$ can not have any root in common

Q: Testing a rake task in rspec (and cucumber) I'm new to Ruby, and I've been trying to learn Rake, RSpec, and Cucumber.  I found some code that will help me test my Rake tasks, but I'm having trouble getting it to work.  I was told here: http://blog.codahale.com/2007/12/20/rake-vs-rspec-fight/ to drop this:
def describe_rake_task(task_name, filename, &block)
  require "rake"

  describe "Rake task #{task_name}" do
    attr_reader :task

    before(:all) do
      @rake = Rake::Application.new
      Rake.application = @rake
      load filename
      @task = Rake::Task[task_name]
    end

    after(:all) do
      Rake.application = nil
    end

    def invoke!
      for action in task.instance_eval { @actions }
        instance_eval(&action)
      end
    end

    instance_eval(&block)
  end
end

into my spec_helper.rb file.
I've managed to take this code out and run it in my cucumber steps like this:
When /^I run the update_installers task$/ do
 @rake = Rake::Application.new
 Rake.application = @rake
 load "lib/tasks/rakefile.rb"
 @task = Rake::Task["update_installers"]

 for action in @task.instance_eval { @actions }
  instance_eval(&action)
 end

 instance_eval(&block)

 Rake.application = nil
end

but when I try to get things working in rspec, I get the following error.

ArgumentError in 'Rake task
  install_grapevine should install to
  the mygrapevine directory'
wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

Unfortunately, I've got just under a week of ruby under by belt, so the metaprogramming stuff is over my head.  Could anyone point me in the right direction?

A: I've just spent a little while getting cucumber to run a rake task so I thought I'd share my approach. Note: This is using Ruby 2.0.0 and Rake 10.0.4, but I don't think the behaviour has changed since previous versions.
There are two parts to this. The first is easy: with a properly set up instance of Rake::Application then we can access tasks on it by calling #[] (eg rake['data:import']). Once we have a task we can run it by calling #invoke and passing in the arguments (eg rake['data:import'].invoke('path/to/my/file.csv').
The second part is more awkward: properly setting up an instance of Rake::Application to work with. Once we've done require 'rake' we have access to the Rake module. It already has an application instance, available from Rake.application, but it's not yet set up — it doesn't know about any of our rake tasks. It does, however, know where to find our Rakefile, assuming we've used one of the standard file names: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb or Rakefile.rb.
To load the rakefile we just need to call #load_rakefile on the application, but before we can do that we need to call #handle_options. The call to #handle_options populates options.rakelib with a default value. If options.rakelib is not set then the #load_rakefile method will blow up, as it expects options.rakelib to be enumerable.
Here's the helper I've ended up with:
module RakeHelper
  def run_rake_task(task_name, *args)
    rake_application[task_name].invoke(*args)
  end

  def rake_application
    require 'rake'
    @rake_application ||= Rake.application.tap do |app|
      app.handle_options
      app.load_rakefile
    end
  end
end

World(RakeHelper)

Pop that code into a file in features/support/ and then just use run_rake_task in your steps, eg:
When /^I import data from a CSV$/ do
  run_rake_task 'data:import', 'path/to/my/file.csv'
end

A: The behavior might have changed since the correct answer was posted. I was experiencing problems executing two scenarios that needed to run the same rake task (only one was being executed despite me using .execute instead of .invoke). I thought to share my approach to solve the issue (Rails 4.2.5 and Ruby 2.3.0).
I tagged all the scenarios that require rake with @rake and I defined a hook to setup rake only once.
# hooks.rb
Before('@rake') do |scenario|
  unless $rake
    require 'rake'
    Rake.application.rake_require "tasks/daily_digest"
    # and require other tasks
    Rake::Task.define_task(:environment)
    $rake = Rake::Task
  end
end

(Using a global variable is suggested here: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Hooks#running-a-before-hook-only-once)
In the step definition I simply called $rake
# step definition
Then(/^the daily digest task is run$/) do
  $rake['collector:daily_digest'].execute
end

Any feedback is welcome.

A: This works for me: (Rails3/ Ruby 1.9.2)
When /^the system does it's automated tasks$/ do
  require "rake"
  @rake = Rake::Application.new
  Rake.application = @rake
  Rake.application.rake_require "tasks/cron"
  Rake::Task.define_task(:environment)
  @rake['cron'].invoke
end

Substitute your rake task name here and also note that your require may be "lib/tasks/cron" if you don't have the lib folder in your load path.
I agree that you should only do minimal work in the Rake task and push the rest to models for ease of testing. That being said I think it's important to ensure that the code is ACTUALLY run in my cron tasks during my integration tests so I think very mild testing of the rake tasks is justified.

A: Since testing rake is just too much for me, I tend to move this problem around. Whenever I find myself with a long rake task that I want to test, I create a module/class in lib/ and move all the code from the task there. This leaves the task to a single line of Ruby code, that delegates to something more testable (class, module, you name it). The only thing that remains untested is whether the rake task invokes the right line of code (and passes the right parameters), but I think that is OK.
It might be useful to tell us which is the 21nd line of your spec_helper.rb. But given that the approach you posted digs deep in rake (referring to its instance variables), I would entirely abandon it for what I suggested in the previous paragraph.

Treasures from the Vault
By Paul Lukas, on May 16th, 2007
We all know that weird things can happen during All-Star Games. The problem is, not many of them have been properly documented for posterity. But a reader who prefers to go by TC has been watching lots of old MLB all-star video footage lately, and he's compiled some downright heroic additions to the historical record. Here's his report:
• 1972: Carlton Fisk wore his Boston uni with a Brewers helmet.
• 1975: Lou Brock had some kind of sticker on both sides of his helmet. It looks like maybe some kind of Cardinals logo..?
• 1975 again: The A's had seven players and the manager on the squad, including five starters: P Vida Blue, 1B Gene Tenace, SS Bert Campaneris, LF Joe Rudi, and RF Reggie Jackson. From what I can tell, all players wore green stirrups and yellow sanitaries. The infielders wore green/yellow hats, yellow shirts, white pants. The outfielders wore green/yellow hats, green shirts, white pants. Vida Blue wore green/yellow hat, yellow shirt, yellow pants. Manager Alvin Dark wore a green/white hat, white shirt, white pants. The two bench players — Rollie Fingers and Claudell Washington — wore totally different combos. I also spotted a coach (not Alvin Dark) wearing a white hat and green shirt. It was hard to find a good shot with all the players in it, but I managed to pull at least a couple with multiple players. [Also: Note the maroon blazers being worn by the AL umps — standard-issue for them back in the mid-1970s. — PL]
• 1985: Nolan Ryan batted while wearing a Padres helmet. [As an aside, I was once at a Mets/Astros game where Ryan stepped into the batter's box while still wearing his dugout jacket. The ump had to remind him to remove it. — PL]
• 1985 again: This was the game when Lou Whitaker forgot his uniform and had to use a replica jersey from the stadium gift shop with his number Magic Markered onto the back. The shirt itself looks pretty cheap. The announcers mentioned it — they said something like, "There's the familiar number one, but it was drawn on with marking pencil."
TC also noticed something interesting while perusing footage of the 1977 ALCS:
The insignia on the Royals' jerseys wasn't always the same thickness or weight. In Game 4, Freddie Patek had the thick/heavy logo, and the NEXT BATTER, Frank White, had the thinner version. In Game 5, Cookie Rojas wore the thin logo, while the third base coach (not sure of his name) had the thicker logo. Weird.
The real all-star, of course, is TC himself, for sharing all these amazing finds with us. Next round's on me, buddy.
Uni Watch News Ticker: Soccer-centric uni quiz here (with thanks to Tony Payne). … Good article about baseball bats here (as forwarded by Matt Nelson). … Well, that's one way to move some Arena League jerseys. … As if the story about Ken Griffey's jockstrap weren't enough, Brian Urlacher's jock is for sale on eBay. … The Nationals wore their red jerseys and alternate "DC" caps on Sunday — except for infielder Felipe Lopez, who wore the "W" cap (good catch by Tim Buckley). … Latest news about Rudy Giuliani's World Series rings — and new tidbits about a Joe DiMaggio uniform he owns — here. … Fantastic historical survey of English rugby uniforms here (with thanks to Jim Atherton). … Not positive, but I think we first saw this Lambeau Field anniversary logo a while back, didn't we? In any case, I'm fairly certain that this press release, issued yesterday, marks the first confirmation that the mark will appear on the team's uniforms. … Jesse Spector e-mailed me from last night's Astros game with the following communiqué: "I don't have my good camera with me, but when a player with a single-digit number is at the plate and they put his face on the big screen, they put a zero in front of the number, like '09 Hunter Pence' and '07 Craig Biggio.' It doesn't really make sense — it's a computer-generated image, not like a two-digit scoreboard thing where the zero is just a place-holder. I wonder how they would differentiate between Pence and Benito Santiago, if he was still here." … Reprinted from last night's comments: Jarrod Saltalamacchia appears to be wearing Brian McCann's knee savers. … Unfortunate news in the rugby world yesterday, as England and France unveiled their new NikeWorld designs — woof! Dominic J. Litten offers this analysis: "Note the raised, bumpy area around the torso section of the jersey. According to this news release, '[T]he new shirt also features an extensively tested gripper print for players, on the torso, when they are carrying a wet ball and, on the shoulders, when locking into the scrum.' Apparently, the boys at Nike are actually using the Dot Matrix powers for good." Not sure I'd go quite that far, but it's a good observation all the same. … The Yomiuri Giants recently recorded their 5000th victory, and there's a nice historical photo gallery here to mark the occasion (with thanks to Jeremy Brahm).

I have a memory of an All-Star game in the late 70's. I believe it was Dave Parker of the Pirates coming to bat with a Padres helmet on. I wouldn't even know where to sart looking for a photo of that.
JFront10 | May 16, 2007 at 9:11 am |
Felipe Lopez is also wearing his Breast Cancer Ribbon on the wrong side of his jersey. The rest of the Nationals players had it over the DC.
Robert | May 16, 2007 at 9:20 am |
As soon as I read the topic, weird Uni happenings at All-Star Games, the Lou Whitaker jersey jumped to mind. Would TC mention it, and if so, would he have a photo? Of course. Great job.
Jeff | May 16, 2007 at 9:31 am |
No comments about the Arizona-Colorado game last night? Arizona wore their red jerseys and Colorado wore their purple. Then again, can't say I blame you for not pointing it out. My eyes are still burning.
Brent | May 16, 2007 at 9:38 am |
I saw that Felipe Lopez picture in the paper on Monday and immediately noticed that he and Guzman had their ribbons in different locations, but am ashamed that I missed the different hats. I have to say though, really don't like the alternate reds.

Aw man! Ebay took down Urlacher's jock. And I so wanted to bid on that!
Seeing Ryan in the sunrise duds always brings a tear to my eye.
Regarding the rugby kits – why is it that some of the designs line up, but others don't? Maybe it's just the angle of the pictures, but the jerseys and shorts don't look like they are twisted. It just appears that they don't line up. That would be very weird.

Your memory is correct as I remember seeing the same thing.
In 1972, didn't the Red Sox debut their jerseys with the elastic waistband in the All-Star game or thereabouts? I think the announcers commented on it during the game.
Pete Rose in one All-Star game (1979?) wore a maroon batting practice jersey during the game. I don't think that was regular attire for the team.
The wearing of another teams' helmet seems to be commonplace in the ASG, especially if pitchers have to go to bat. I'm sure there are many examples of this.
WFY | May 16, 2007 at 9:50 am |
IIRC, by 1957 players were wearing plastic helmets with facemasks, so that logo is not as historically accurate as it should be.

I recall it as a maroon T-shirt or pullover. And I also recall that that's what really jump-started the move toward colored BP jerseys.

Have I been reading too much if I'm noticing uniform gaffes in my dreams?
Amy | May 16, 2007 at 9:53 am |
Regarding the "gripper print" on the new unsightly rugby kits – if the print on the shoulder makes locking into a scrum easier, wouldn't the print around the torso also make you easier to tackle? I'm thinking that's a less than desirable trait in a rugby jersey.
Larry | May 16, 2007 at 9:54 am |
Great rundown of all-star oddities! I have one to add – in 1981, pitcher Dave Steib of Toronto batted unexpectedly late in the game and wore a Cleveland helmet. In 1983 he started the game and brought a Blue Jays helmet with him. IIRC the broadcasters discussed this.

There's a good chance that is true, "Dressed to the Nines" displays this for the 1972 Sox, meaning that they probably did switch at some point in the season to the pullovers and elastic waistbands.

For what it's worth, Charlie Finley's A's wore non-uniform "unis" in the mid-70s… while the players all wore identical combinations each day, the coaches were stuck with wearing the white hats; which really looked especially weird on Joe DiMaggio during his stint as an A's coach!

Could that have possible been that special Saturday uniform? On "Dressed to the Nines" they have that uniform shown for 1979 and that was the only year they used the outfit.
I just recently watched a show on FSN Pittsburgh regarding Pittsburgh and all-star games. They showed a shot of Dave Parker's famous throw to Gary Carter to gun down Brian Downing. It was from a camera shot in the outfield and you could vaguely make out Rose at first, starting to get set up for the cut-off. If my memory serves me correctly, I think he had the maroon top on with the blue pants but I'm not 100% sure.
DJ | May 16, 2007 at 10:09 am |
I remember the logos on the sides of the Cardinals helmets. They were of a cardinal swinging a bat and clobbering a ball, with the ball streaking across the field of the logo. Wish I had a photo… :-(
jesse | May 16, 2007 at 10:18 am |
Dressed to the nines had the Phillies wearing a Maroon jersey in 1979, but it looks like it had buttons. The Phillies also had a Maroon BP jersey that was a pull over, but I don't think it goes back that far.
Joe Drennan | May 16, 2007 at 10:19 am |
So while I was waiting for this site to be updated with today's post, I thought I'd peruse the links. I came across the Chicago White Sox Uniform History site and came away with a few interesting nuggets that I haven't seen posted here yet.
"For the first time the Sox were wearing red stirrups. Perhaps noting their faux pas, a white White Sox logo (a batter swinging over a white sock) was added near the top of the red stirrup. Naturally the players' pants leg covered most of the logo, so the gesture towards franchise tradition was futile."
And it looks like Bill Veek would have been a UNi Watch member as well, "Veeck was a real student of Sox uniform history!"
I hate the White Sox, but it was intersting to see some of the changes they made, even wearing white stiruiips over white sanies. I still don't know why they White Sox main color is black, as the only logical explination can be 1919.

How could you leave off this spectacle between Randy Johnson and Larry Walker when Walker turned his batting helmet around? Not too uni-related, but an All Star uni moment none the less.

Lou Whitaker was also wearing Twins stirrups at that all-star game, complete with "TC" logo. They showed a close-up of them on the telly.
I can't remember to pay my bills on time, or my mom's birthday, but I can remember shit like that.

Wasn't it a Mizuno pullover? I remember Rose wearing such a thing back in the day, and being bitter that he was using a foreign company's product. This compounded my unhappiness with him for leaving the Reds to sign with the Phillies as a free agent.
Elwood | May 16, 2007 at 11:10 am |
My favorite part of the Lou Whitaker thing is it shows just how far sports jersey marketing has come. These days it would be infinitely easier to procure another numbered authentic jersey.

I remember the game and I'm sure it was a BP jersey. That was around the time the Yankees introduced their black BP shirts I coveted. Just a symbol of Rose's desperate need for attention I suppose.
Ferdinand Cesarano | May 16, 2007 at 11:16 am |
I remember seeing Tom Seaver bat while wearing a Dodger helmet during one All-Star Game. A quick check of Baseball Almanac shows that Seaver batted only once in an All-Star Game, in 1976 in Philly. So, that must have been the time. Interestingly, there were two other Mets on that NL All-Star team, including starting RF Dave Kingman, perhaps suggesting that Seaver grabbed the Dodger helmet not out of necessity, but by accident, since it is the same colour as the Met helmet.
Ah, another check of Baseball Almanac shows that Kong had already been to the plate and made an out in the 4th inning by the time Seaver's turn at bat came in that inning. So, Kingman's helmet would presumably have been available.

Having the stuff on your body doesn't actually make much difference. You need two sticky surfaces to make the system work. A lot of guys I played football with in high school wore rubberized elbow/arm sleeves that grip the ball better than skin (see Jerome Bettis). While it works on tackified leather (like a football), the rubber isn't actually that "grippy". UnderArmour actually made a long-sleeve "turf shirt" with the tacky panels built in, and again, it works on a leather ball, but your hand doesn't seem to stick to it. In football, tacky gloves don't help you tackle any better than bare hands. You still need another tacky surface to make them stick.

During the Warriors/Jazz game last night, one thing that was driving me nuts from the point I noticed it (when S.Jackson almost lost it) until the game ended, was that there were noticeable gaps in the floor in Utah. I didn't notice it in the key, but in this picture of the key (the only picture I could find) it is clearly visible.
What I was noticing was more where the planks butt together, not as much along the length of the them… but now that is bugging me as well!
http://www.nba.com/gallery/070515/070515_3.html
In looking at the nba.com galleries and similar shots of Detroit's floor, theirs seems to be all "shiny" and more "polished," for lack of better terms, as you'd usually see in similar pictures from any game.
As I recall, yes. Only for a year or two at the most.

You're right this makes sense… although… the tackling in rugby (is supposed to) involves wrapping up so conceivably if two teams had these grippy uniforms, the shoulder grippy of the tackling player could end up in contact with the grippy torso part of the tackled player… but I think I'm way over analyzing. Plus if two teams played in uniforms that ugly there would be bigger problems than possible tackling assistance.

The White Sox have had ads on their tarp as long as I can remember (I think the bright yellow DHL one is new, it used to be blue with a insurance company ad on it, and I think there might have been a black one inbetween). Do other teams not do it? And is it just me, or is it silly to complain about "logo creep" on something that like this? It's an advertising space, deal with it.
Valjean | May 16, 2007 at 12:14 pm |

Huge kudos on those A's pix. I'd forgotten Finley's All-Star shenanigans. Too bad they couldn't get anyone to wear the famous all greens.
And I think Vida in those all yellows was just nostalgic for his rookie year …
Josh | May 16, 2007 at 12:15 pm |
Hey, I've read this site plenty but this is my first post.
As a longtime rugby fan, I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that those jerseys are not only ugly, but completely unfathomable. Most sports change relatively quickly, but rugby's had a proud tradition of over 100 years of the same jersey designs, same short length and high socks, and that reflects itself in the players. I know from my experience trying to redesign Michigan's club jersey that the elders absolutely refuse to compromise colors or patterns. Rugby was amateur until the mid-1990s and a lot of oldies still think that way. I can't imagine what these countries were going for. Rugby isn't like college basketball or pro-football. You don't mess with England's all-white (they've already done that to a degree, but not like this…). I can barely speak, I'm so repulsed.

Does anyone know the name of the font used in this logo …

… or where I can find it?
Or what the name of the font is used in the current Warrior Logo?

In 1985 (the year of that Nolan Ryan photo), the Astros road uniform was a very, very light gray color. You can sort of see the white outline on the lettering and the star.

Speaking of All-Star games, I think Rose and Parker both wore BP jerseys in the 1985 game. Also, there was a practice of players wearing white shoes in All-Star games even though their team did not wear them. Carter wore white shoes in 81, Tommy Herr wore white shoes in 85. Several Expo players wore them in 82, I think. Dwight Gooden wore white shoes one year, if I'm not mistaken. It was 1986, I think. I remember the Dave Steib at-bat in 81, but I thought he was wearing a Mariners helmet. Does anybody else remember that?

Not necessarily, the difference between grabbing cloth and grabbing rubber, not that big of a difference, but in a scrum, cloth on cloth doesnt provide much friction. Also interesting to note, one of the forwards, (the one lifted on a line out) wears special shorts with rubber grip on the outseams, so players can grip it easeir and hoist them up.

[quote comment="86936″]Hey, I've read this site plenty but this is my first post.
As a longtime rugby fan, I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that those jerseys are not only ugly, but completely unfathomable. Most sports change relatively quickly, but rugby's had a proud tradition of over 100 years of the same jersey designs, same short length and high socks, and that reflects itself in the players. I know from my experience trying to redesign Michigan's club jersey that the elders absolutely refuse to compromise colors or patterns. Rugby was amateur until the mid-1990s and a lot of oldies still think that way. I can't imagine what these countries were going for. Rugby isn't like college basketball or pro-football. You don't mess with England's all-white (they've already done that to a degree, but not like this…). I can barely speak, I'm so repulsed.[/quote]

It's not that they're lazy at all. The "old" player design is part of the official Lambeau Field logo, which appears everywhere around the stadium.

Great link. The biggest problem I have with it is that it looks nothing like a rugby jersey. It doesn't even look like any kind of jersey really. It looks like a workout or training shirt for someone who likes to show off their guns. Where is the collar and the rubber buttons? And don't even get me started with the splash design on the shorts…

I remember the Braves had Morton Salt on their tarp at Fulton County Stadium in 1986.
The wearing of white shoes in an All-Star game remains common, doesn't it? It's something that a few ballplayers seem to do every year, and appears to have started in the early 1980s.

I'm surprised no one is pointing out some of the uni-gaffes in that Felipe Lopez photo. Apart from having the (ugly) curly W instead of the (awesome) interlocking DC, and the breast cancer pin on the wrong side, he's got the cuffs of his pants down almost to his heels and — the worst of them all — the top of his jersey is unbuttoned.
In other Nats notes, Ryan Zimmerman was wearing long pants for the first time I've seen in a long time last night. I didn't look through pictures from last Saturday, but he must've been wearing them when he hit the walk-off GS against the Marlins.

That Star-Tribune article is awfully hacky. Maple bats, while less likely to split lengthwise than ash bats, are much more likely to shatter completely. And Travis Hafner's nickname is a mashup of the words "Project" and "Donkey," not "Prospect" and "Donkey."

It could be the shade of navy that they use. I have a Seattle Mariners cap, and I believe both they and the Yankees use midnight navy. I put the Mariners cap side-by-side with a Brooklyn Cyclones cap (which is true navy) and the Mariners cap literally looks black in comparison, the shade of blue is that much darker.

Yeah, sorry–I certainly wasn't trying to sound condescending (but it seems some took it that way). I think Jason said it better than I did.
And yes, I've totally worn one black sock with one navy sock before, the color are very similar, especially in low light levels while trying to get dressed in the morning before your eyes are fully operational. It's an honest (if not emabarassing) mistake, but with all the exposure teams like the yankees get, it makes Jason's point even more applicable in this case.

Agreed — but when you see something like this your monitor has to be seriously tweeked for Clemens' gear to not look black. And I don't see much blue in that corporate backdrop either.
Something like this doesn't help either. You can't tell me the jacket 2nd from right (albeit a different style) isn't a different color than the others, which look — on my monitor — a lot more navy-esque.

A few other teams do this; both the Cubs and Astros and possibly the Pirates all come to mind. Paul did either a blog entry or an espn article about this sometime last year I think.

In fact I think the Pirates even attempted to wear them in lieu of regular caps in the field in the early 1960s.

way back when, all the Reds used to wear white shoes @ the ASG since the team made the players then wear ALL BLACK shoes. no one had shoe deals cause no trim could show. I remember Dave Conception looking quite cool in white adidas.
Still a correct answer though, kind of. ABC (I think) put the white dot on the helmet to mimic the button on the hats, but as a type of signature mark, added the white dot to all helmets, even for teams that didn't have a differnet colored hat button. Teams could, however, request a different color (I believe the Phillies helmet had a blue dot), but apparently most didn't bother.

I think the Pete Rose in the SD Padres hat is from an article sports illustrated did in 1979 when Pete was a free agent. They pictured him in the hat from I think every team in the league or every team that had an interest in him. I vividly remember him in the Yankees hat giving a thumbs down as well. I kept this sports illustrated for years,since at the time I was a little kid in Cincinnati and a complete idiot for everything Pete Rose. I would be willing to bet this picture is from this article.

No I'll try this with text in it. The Yomiuri Giants have had had Tokyo in their name, but I think they prefer the Yomiuri designation for corporate purposes. The only team that uses Tokyo in its name is the far less popular Tokyo Yakult Swallows, and that's only recently.
Since the Giants are easily the most popular team in Japan, they don't need an identifier other than "Giants."
The second most popular team, the Hanshin Tigers, has never used its city name, Nishinomiya, as far as I know. They could go for the region "Kansai", but Tigers has enough ID value for them.

Those new Rugby kits for England and France are horrible! Let's hope that neither of these teams go far in the RWC this summer. Hopefully one of the better dressed teams will win: South Africa, Australia or New Zealand.
Man, Nike makes the traditional kits of England and France really good, because the new ones are so bad! It looks like they decided to go back to the late 80s early 90s. Let's hope this isn't a trend in the great looking sport of Rugby. And, thank goodness the Springboks got out of Nike when they did or they might look just as awful.
Another note on the new Nike Rugby Kits:
…notice how in this photo the red "whatever" that sprays across the shirt and shorts doesn't line up evenly with the shirt. And the red "whatever" isn't "uniform" throughout (notice the difference between far left and second from the left). Did I mention how bad these look!

The new England rugby kit is crazily ugly. I don't really like uniforms that seem to mess with abstract modern designs. Stripes and quarters are generally fine by me.
The cut of the shirt doesn't look like anything new. It appears to be exactly the same as the next most recent design http://tinyurl.com/2yqjxc which I have, and significantly prefer. The odd red bits on that do at least follow the lines of the body.
(First post, woohoo)
Whoops, the link I gave shows the colour pattern of the most recent shirt, but it's the fan replica model, which has a different collar, and isn't made of the same materials. The player issue shirt has the same shape as the new shirt.

Back then, free agents weren't fully free — they had to go thru the free agent draft, in which a limited number of teams (up to 13 of them, I think) could claim the non-exclusive negotiating rights to a free agent. The free agent draft ran in reverse order of team record (like the NFL draft). Since the Mets totally sucked at the time, they had first crack to draft the negotiating rights to Rose, Winfield, etc. Eventually the free agent system was modified so that there was no limit to the number of teams a player could negotiate with — no draft, true free agency.

[quote comment="87078″][quote comment="87026″]i have been searching for a pic of derek jeter from the all star game in boston (the one where he wore a cleated version of the jordan brand jumpman vindicates) it was the year he mocked nomar's pre ab rituals with the batting gloves.
I don't have a photo, but I do know which year it was: 1999.[/quote]
Here's a pic of Jeter from the 2004 All-Star game in white cleats. Sorry it's not the 1999 game though.

Link to Helmet
The Broncos have a special helmet sticker to commemorate Darrent Williams and Damien Nash's passing.
I know it's kind of tasteless and I apologize, but I think it looks awkward on the side with the current player's number. But with the 9/11 flags on all the helmets, the other side probably wouldn't look any better either. I at least expected something in team colors.

Respectable sticker, but I'm guessing this won't appear on the helmets during the regular season.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, and I apologize for not checking, but Rafael Furcal is on fire (four hits in each of his last three games…1 for 1 so far tonight)
I figured out the obvious reason for this.
Before his hot streak.
And during hot streak.
Love it Raffy…Keep it (the pants) up!!!
Vamos dodgers!!

I think it was the 1989 All-Star Game when Harold Baines was missing the scripted "C" logo from his batting helmet. Anyone remember this or have a photo?

Wow, another SNC alum on Uni watch! It's amazing the range of the uni-watch faithful!
Just a note on the Mets game today. Oliver Perez was shown in the dugout wearing new glasses. I'm not sure if he'll be wearing them when he pitches.

I seem to recall in the 1987 All-Star Game in Oakland, when batting in the 13th, Andre Dawson was wearing a Montreal Expos batting helmet. Yet he was a member of the Cubs at the time. I can't seem to find a photo of it but I'm pretty sure that's the way it happened.

You're thinking of Tim Raines who was playing for the Expos at the time. Dawson started the game and was replaced by Jeffrey Leonard by the time the 13th rolled around.

ACTUALLY…I think you're thinking of Lee Smith, who wore Tim Raines' helmet while hitting late in the game. :)

As far as the stickers on the Cardinals helmets, I seem to recall that they were an attempt to add a little life to a somewhat moribund team that year. I think that they wore them all season long, but only in 1975, as after that management seemed to determine that adding better players would help the team more than helmet stickers

NDIC warns against patronage of re-emerging wonder banks
By OrientDailyNews Last updated Dec 16, 2016
The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, NDIC has warned Nigerians to stop patronizing fraudsters under the cover of wonder banks that have re-emerged and duped people of billions of naira.
The Managing Director of NDIC, Umar Ibrahim gave the warning at the maiden edition of the NDIC Stakeholders Town Hall Meeting with the theme: ''Bank Consumer Protection the Role of NDIC'' held at the Avenue Event Centre in Kano state.
Ibrahim decried the re-emergence of the wonder banks saying that "they are duping people of their hard earned money and promising returns that are not tenable in the financial services sector.''
He urged people to stop being greedy and to patronize money deposit banks or micro-finance banks that are officially licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and insured by NDIC to carryout financial transactions for the people.
''How can someone ask you to deposit N100,000 with them and get N50, 000 per month or 30 per cent return every month from such deposit for the rest of your life and you believe it is possible. These people have no assets or nothing to fall back on when they collect your money and run away. Most people who patronize them do it out of greed'' explained Ibrahim
He said the government is not relaxed over the development as a lot of them have been apprehended and are being prosecuted by Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, through the Investment and Securities Tribunal.
He said the series of arrests and prosecution have made many of them to go under, which by implication has reduced their operations and anks return to the North east
The NDIC boss further urged all Banks that ceased operations in the north-eastern Nigeria because of the Boko Haram attacks to henceforth resume operation in the urban and rural areas to enhance business.
The states affected in the north east includes, Borno,Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi, Adamawa and Taraba.
According to him, ''the north-east region of the country which was ravaged by the insurgence more than ever before, needed the services of the banking services sector to re-build.''
He said activities in the region have return to almost normal now, after military clampdown on the insurgents as such the banks should resume operations in earnest to serve the government, organizations and people of the area.
''Without adequate banking facility, without access to finance, progress in that area will remain retarded. There is the need to provide financial services to our poor brothers and sisters in that area to start life afresh'', stressed the Managing Director

Jala Wahid and Jan Verwoert
Talk as part of the exhibition "Cacophony of Things"
Two selected quotations from "The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic" by Italian philosopher Mario Perniola, together with Clarice Lispector's "The Passion According to G.H." (1964) are the starting point for the conversation between Jala Wahid and Jan Verwoert. While in his 1994 publication, Perniola considers the human being as a "thing that feels" amidst a culture of desire, in "The Passion According to G.H.", feeling and the body are reconsidered through an account of the crisis G.H. experiences, initiated by her confrontation with a cockroach.
Jala Wahid (born 1988, UK) finished her studies in Fine Art at Goldsmith College London in 1994. She is co-editor of SALT, a magazine on feminism and contemporary art. Jan Verwoert is critic and author and teaches at Kunstakademiet in Oslo and Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam. Selected Publications: "Bas Jan Ader: In Search of the Miraculous"; "Tell Me What You Want What You Really Really Want"; "Cookie!".
