Manskers at War
Written by Dennis Mansker
The Military Service of the Mansker-Minsker Men
Note: this list of Manskers at War is certainly not all-inclusive, although I would like it to be. If anyone has additional information on any of the Mansker-Minsker men in the wars of the 18th & 19th Centuries, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so I can add it to this page.
Note also how many of these Mansker-Minsker men first enlisted as drummer boys. It's almost a family trait.
Ludwig Mäintzger: In January, 1776, Ludwig , spelled "Ludowick Minsker", is mentioned in the account book of Captain John Simpson, and in July and August of that year, his name appears in the Pennsylvania Archives as a militia man on active duty. On 2 May, 1776, while in the military, he wrote his last will and testament.
Ludwig was a private in the Pennsylvania State Rifle Regiment usually known as Miles's Regiment, under the command of Colonel Samuel Miles, who was in charge from 13 March 1776, when the regiment was organized, until he was taken prisoner at the Battle of Long Island on 27 August 1776.
Company E, in which Ludwig served, was commanded by Captain John Murray. It was made up mainly of men from Paxtang Township, in a part of Lancaster County which, in 1785, became Dauphin County. Captain Murray was from Paxtang Township himself, and prior to his assignment to Company E, he had held a commission as an ensign in the 6th Pennsylvania Battalion. On 18 March, 1777, he was promoted to major in Pennsylvania State Regiment. As recorded in the muster rolls of the Lancaster County Militia, the men of Company E went to New Jersey in August, 1776, and were absent until January or February, 1777.
The regiment was created by a resolution passed on 5 March 1776 by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the purpose of defending the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and it was to consist of 1,000 men, armed with rifles, who were to be enlisted until 1 January 1778. There were to be two battalions of 678-man companies, one battalion commanded by Lt. Colonel James Piper, who died in September 1776 after being wounded and taken prisoner at the Battle of Long Island, and the other battalion to be commanded by Lt. Colonel Daniel Brodhead.
After the heavy casualties of the Battle of Long Island, Lt. Colonel Brodhead became acting commander of the remnants of both Miles's Regiment and the Pennsylvania State Battalion of Musketry, and they were consolidated into a single battalion. The major of the 1st Battalion of the regiment was Ennion Williams; John Patton was the major of the 2nd Battalion until 25 October 1776, when he was transferred to the 9th Pennsylvania Regiment.
Ludwig died near Coryell's Ferry, Pennsylvania, on 24 November, 1776, but the cause of his death is not known. He may have died of wounds, or, more likely, he may have died from illness caused by poor rations, or inadequate clothing and blankets, as did many of his fellow soldiers.
George Mansker, Sr.: In 1778, George appeared on the roll of Captain Jonathan McClure's Company, 4th Class, 4th Battalion, of the Lancaster County Militia, and on 11 August 1749, he was listed in rosters of the 7th and 8th Classes that had been called to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania to protect settlers there from the Indians. On 15 October 1779, he again appeared on the rolls of Captain Jonathan McClure. On 26 March 1778, George Mansker's name appeared on list of Paxtang Township citizens who took the oath of allegiance to the State of Pennsylvania.
John Minsker: John was a private in Captain John McClure's Company, 4th Class, 4th Battalion in 1778 and in 1779, he served under Captain John Rutherford and Captain Crouch. In April 1779, John went with his unit to Bedford County for a period of six weeks where they protected farmers who were putting in their spring crops.
Ludwig Minsker Jr.: In 1781, Ludwig Minsker Jr. served with the 10th Battalion, Captain James Murray's company; he appeared on a muster roll dated 12 April 1781.
John Mansker: According to his son, Samuel Mansker (see below), his father, John, the son of John Minsker, was a drummer boy during the Revolutionary War.
John Mansker: John, the son of George Mansker Sr., served with the Company of Captain William McCall, regiment of Colonel John K. Wynne, Robert's Brigade, in the Tennessee Militia, from 4 October 1813 to 26 January 1814.
William Mansker: William, another son of George Mansker, Sr., also served in the same company.
Kasper Mansker: Although he was in the neighborhood of 60 years of age, Kasper enlisted in Captain William Martin's company, of Colonel Thomas Williamson's Second Regiment of Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Gunmen. He saw action at the Battle of New Orleans.
Lewis Mansker: Lewis, another son of George Mansker, Sr., also enlisted with his uncle Kasper in the same unit and was in the Battle of New Orleans.
Samuel Mansker: Like his father, John, before him, Samuel was a drummer boy; he appears on a unit muster roll of 3 September 1812 in the 1st Regiment of the Illinois Militia under the command of Captain Absalom Cox at Kaskaskia, Illinois.
John Mansker: This John Mansker appears on the rolls of Captain Gordon's Company of Mounted Spies, Tennessee militia. His indentity is uncertain, but he could have been the John Mansker who married Elizabeth Dugger (see the "Missing" Manskers Page).
The Mexican War
William Henry Mansker, George W. Mansker and William L. Mansker enlisted into Captain Bird. M. Simpson's Company G of the 5th Regimental Mounted Gunmen, Arkansas Volunteers, in August, 1836. The regiment proceeded first to Fort Towson in the Choctaw Nation, and then to Fort Gibson in the Cherokee Nation, where it relieved three troops of dragoons and six companies of the 7th Infantry who had been ordered to the Texas border in anticipation of a war with Mexico. The war didn't happen for another ten years, but this was cold comfort to the George Mansker, Jr., family, the parents of George W. and William L. Mansker, who died a month apart at Fort Towson, probably from a mumps epidemic. William Henry Mansker (see the Texas Manskers Page) was the son of William Mansker, brother to George Jr., and all three of the volunteers were grandsons of George Mansker, Sr.
See alsoThe Mexican-American War and Arkansas Militia and the War With Mexico on Wikipedia.
Josiah Mansker was a private in Company C, (-?-) Regiment, Arkansas Infantry. He was also the son of William Mansker and grandson of George Mansker, Sr. See the Texas Manskers Page.
Thomas Mansker served as a corporal in Company H, 2nd Illinois Infantry.
John G. Mansker was a private in Company A, 2nd Illinois Infantry. John was a son of Lewis Mansker and another grandson of George Mansker, Sr. He was wounded in the Battle of Buena Vista (La Angostura, Mexico) on 23 Feb 1847.
There is also a Thomas W. G. "Manseker", a native of Nashville, Illinois, who served in the Mexican War.
Note: See also the Civil War page for a list of Manskers who served, along with their units.
John R. Mansker, John S. Mansker, Joseph Mansker, and David T. Mansker
From the time most of us were children, the description of the Civil War being fought "brother against brother" has been a cliché. It wasn't until I discovered that my great-grandfather, John S. Mansker, served in the 2nd Regiment of Arkansas Infantry, U.S. Volunteers, while his father, John R. Mansker and his brother, Joseph Mansker, served the Confederacy in the Arkansas cavalry, that I realized the true and awful import of that trite saying.
John S. Mansker's service record shows that he enlisted as a private in Company H, commanded by Captain Charles E. Berry, of the Second Regiment of Arkansas Militia Infantry, commanded by Colonel M.L. Stevenson, on 26 January 1864 at Dover, Arkansas, and was mustered in at Fort Smith, Arkansas, on 18 February 1864. His father-in-law, David Allen, also was in the same unit.
Interestingly, he also apparently shows up on the rolls of Co I, 35th Arkansas Infantry, as J. S. "Manskel". The company was made up primarily of men from the Dover, Arkansas, area, where John S. was known to reside. Also appearing in the same company are his brother-in-law G. W. Macomb (husband of his sister, Nancy), and G. W.'s brother, Peter, along with another brother-in-law, Robert Brashears, husband of his sister, Samantha Rebecca.
Apparently military life was not to his liking, since he deserted on 21 March 1864 at Clarksville, Arkansas, and remained away until 6 June 1865. After his return from desertion, he was reinstated in the company with loss of all pay and allowances due him up to 31 July 1865. He was mustered out at Clarksville on 8 August 1865, and the record shows that he was assessed an amount of $23.46 for payment for the equipment he took with him when he deserted, including an Austrian rifle.
John S. Mansker died on 27 December 1883, the result of long-term complications from the loss of a leg in the Civil War; it isn't clear exactly when John could have lost the leg since he apparently spent so little time on active duty, but a family story handed down over the years holds that his wife, Margaret Allen Mansker, hid him for a time during the war when he was hurt, even keeping his location secret in the face of threats to her baby. It could be that he had been wounded in the leg prior to his desertion and the leg had to be amputated some time later.
John R. Mansker, John S. Mansker's father, appears as a private in the muster rolls of Company B, 1st Battalion (Stirman's) Arkansas cavalry. (See the Unit Roster of Co. B.)
John R's service record shows that he enlisted on 3 August 1861 in Marion County, Arkansas, and was last paid on 31 December 1861. The company muster rolls for January and February 1863 show him absent, "detached in Arkansas". Interestingly enough, he also appears in Company H, 2nd Arkansas Infantry, the same unit as his son, John S., and the application for widow's pension completed by his wife, Nancy Holland Mansker, on 24 April 1882, supports this.
Joseph Mansker, the son of John R. and the brother of John S. Mansker, also served as a private in Company A, 1st Battalion (Stirman's) Arkansas cavalry, enlisting the same day as his father. The January and February 1863 muster rolls show him as present. He was captured at the Battle of Vicksburg on 4 July 1863 and taken as a prisoner of war. He was paroled on 8 July 1863 after signing a pledge to return home and not take up arms against the union again.
David Thomas Mansker, another son of John R. Mansker and brother to John S. and Joseph, was a seventeen-year old cavalryman in Jackman's Cavalry Regiment, C.S.A, which was organized in the spring of 1864. Under General Shelby's division, he participated in Sterling Price's Missouri Raid.
David Moore Mansker:
Company muster rolls show that David Mansker was a private in Company C, 1st Regiment, Mississippi Light Artillery. He enlisted on 27 March 1862 in Choctaw County. Col. W. J. Winters was the officer in charge. He was 33 years old at the time of his enlistment, he was 5 feet 9 inches in height, and his hair, eyes and complexion were listed as "dark". He died from pneumonia at Mobile, Alabama, on 8 March 1864. His next of kin was listed as Emily Mansker, Huntsville, Choctaw County, Mississippi. See photograph.

He first served as a drummer boy. He fought at Murfreesboro, and he was wounded in the left hand, losing a finger in the process, at the Battle of Stones River on 28 December 1862. Later, on 20 September 1863, during the Battle of Chickamauga, he was taken prisoner and ended up in the infamous Andersonville Prison. He was a prisoner of war for a total of 17 months, until 26 February 1865, when he was paroled. (See photograph)
John G. Mansker, was a 1st Lieutenant in Company D, 18th Illinois Infantry. One source states that he was killed in action during the war. He could be the son of Lewis Mansker and Betsy Simpkins, of Cape Girardeau, MO; they had a son named John G. Mansker, who was born circa 1818 (see Descendants Page). This would have made him roughly 42 years old at the start of the war, which is not unreasonably old for service.
Matthew C. Mansker, Sergeant, Company D, 31st Missouri Infantry. He was probably Matthew Casper Mansker, Jr., grandson of George Mansker, Jr.)
Thaddeus C. Mansker, Corporal, Company D. 47th Missouri Infantry This is most likely another son ofSamuel Mansker -- (see photo)

He also enlisted at Chicago on 28 August 1861, and by July 1865 he had reenlisted and was stationed at Port Lavaca, Texas, where he contracted a kidney ailment caused by exposure to the elements and by hard marching. He was discharged at Camp Irwin, Texas, on 25 September 1865.
William J. Mansker, Private, Company A, 32nd Missouri Infantry. William was probably the son of John Mansker and Martha Shaver, and another grandson of George Mansker, Jr.

Massive MIMO is a disruptive technology that consists of equipping communication transceivers with an excessive number of antennas to enable unprecedented gains in throughput and radiated energy efficiency. The aim of this project is to assess, through both a theoretical and an experimental effort, the robustness of massive MIMO gains under nonlinear hardware impairments, with specific emphasis on phase noise. We will determine the hardware typology (e.g., oscillator class) that needs to be used to release massive MIMO gains for a given targeted energy and spectral efficiency. This will facilitate a realistic performance/cost assessment of massive MIMO systems and pave the way for the deployment of massive MIMO systems in commercial applications. The results of our investigation will be used to determine which deployment scenario (access network, wireless backhaul network, dedicated applications) is best suited for massive MIMO technology. The project has the additional goals of strengthening the collaboration between Chalmers and Ericsson within an area (wireless cellular network design) that is important for the Swedish industry, of producing scientific publications and patents, of enabling knowledge transfer between Chalmers and Ericsson, and, finally, of generating new research areas both at Chalmers and Ericsson.


Early voting for the May 2 ballot started Saturday, April 18 and will continue through Saturday, April 25 at Lafourche Parish Registrar of Voters' offices.
Voters can decide whether to approve a quarter-cent sales tax increase for levee and drainage improvements in central and north Lafourche.
The tax is expected to raise about $2.2 million a year for the North Lafourche Levee District, which works to improve drainage and enhance flood protection for parish residents north of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
Money from the tax will be used strictly for projects, such as improvements to pump stations, levees and drainage canals, officials said.
The district includes more than 250 miles of levees and drainage canals and 40 pump stations. Only voters within the district will cast ballots on the tax proposal.
The ballot also includes a Lafourche School Board plan to redirect money left from the sale of construction bonds to campus safety enhancements. Voters parishwide will cast ballots on that measure.
Registrar's offices will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and are located at 307 W. 4th St. in Thibodaux and 16241 E. Main Street, Suite B-23 in Cut Off.


We have had many emails with the subject named "Panne Orange Mobile", so we decided to look into this a little more. The emails basically talk about an outage and SIGFOX and here is the latest coverage.
As consumers we rely more and more on our broadband connections or cell phone coverage, and now there is the need for a secondary network after last Friday saw the failure of the Orange network in France where 26 million users, or almost 40 million with the carriers partners such as Free, Virgin, and more were unable to use their mobile phone, tablet or laptop as an article here is reporting.
This included making phone calls, surfing the Internet, sending text messages and emails during the outage that lasted more than twelve hours. This made it more obvious for the need to have access to a secondary network which could take over in the advent of the primary network failing. It would need to be simple to deploy for economic reasons, and also be designed around a totally different technology to prevent incurring the same risk as the primary network.
The SIGFOX network is currently being deployed around the national territory and would be perfect for the situation that has just faced the Orange network. It would also provide a solution in the event of a natural disaster or an attack on civil security, which would supplement the primary network and allow people to send alert messages.
It is primarily dedicated to the Internet of Things and Machine to Machine communications, the network features SIGFOX technology that is compatible with mobile phones. The problems that were faced on Friday are still likely whatever the operator, as networks are complex and designed to handle high speed exchanges in ever tougher conditions. Twenty years ago such a situation would not have happened but now processes and emergency operating modes are based on GSM.
Ludovic Le Moan, President of SIGFOX said that the network could be a solution to a failed primary network, and needs "to be discussed with the relevant authorities in telecommunications". Le Moan continued by saying that "SIGFOX technology can be a quick and effective response to a problem whose failure potentially destabilizing for the economy is absolutely consistent".

A Sydney woman who visited Notre Dame just hours before it went up in flames has spoken of the locals' devastation after losing their famed cathedral.
"It was incredible, so beautiful," the mother-of-two from Bondi told the Herald.
"(Now) everyone is devastated. The huge plumes of smoke reminded me of the pics of the smoke from the twin towers, it looked really crazy."
Alice Whyte, Mary Dullard and Lan Leung near the Eiffel Tower on Sunday.
Ms Whyte, who ran in the Paris Marathon on Sunday, said the "huge plume of weird yellow smoke" above the buildings where they were staying a few kilometres away was "unnerving".
"There's been a huge security/military presence in the city all weekend," she said, due to the marathon and yellow vest protests.
"So we initially freaked out something security-wise was happening."
A day after her 42-kilometre run, Ms Whyte opted to delay going to Notre Dame, a decision she now regrets. "I thought I might go later when there were less crowds – wish I had now," she said.
"Our poor waiter was crying last night. He was so devastated about the fire."

Major dodging tactics needed for this one. Keep your eyes peeled for vacant toilets or lone friends nearby.
Nothing worse. A subtle hint? Smile and wave, fellas- just smile and wave.
The most annoying of all traits. Can we keep the chit-chat to a minimum please?
You go to the gym, well done. We do not need to see evidence of such all over our newsfeed thanks.
We'll keep our tanning mitts and exfoliator to ourselves, thank you.
Oh you're so hilarious. How long do we need to fake laugh for?
Some forms of footwear should remain strictly gender specific, and Ugg boots are top of the list. Potato feet are for girls with a hangover, y'hear?


The air conditioning at the Chamber has been broken all weekend. It is humid and about 90 degrees throughout the hospital. This new development combined with my day of 4 code blue's has confirmed my long held suspicions.
I do in fact work in hell.
I'm feeling a little more together today and more posts will follow.
It was so hot yesterday that even with the air on full blast, it was over 80 degrees in my apartment. Hot weather is gross.
Glad you are back. Hope you are on the road to brighter, cooler days.

« This Call to the Bullpen
Such a Lousy Ballclub
by Greg Prince on 28 April 2017 3:12 am
What sufficed for succor in 2012 evidently lacks efficacy in 2017, which is an R.A. Dickeyish way of saying that even when the Mets were routinely bad, Mets fans could take solace that R.A. Dickey was almost always good. Yet five years have passed. Tastes have transitioned. Roget's Thesaurus is no longer the de rigueur reference book in Flushing. The Mets fan who wants to be in step with the times requires a comprehensive medical dictionary — and could probably use a thick self-help manual.
Some things, however, seem the same as they ever were. The Mets, such a lousy ballclub when Dickey was such a wonderful story, are such a lousy ballclub all over again. They've been growing worse and worse on a daily basis. Buddy Holly would be confounded by how much everyday it's not getting better.
On Thursday, Dickey rematerialized and the Mets evaporated, 7-5. The result encompassed a sixth consecutive loss; a tenth defeat in eleven games; and a thousandth debilitating injury in approximately a week. This season's sample size is no longer so small that you can't take it to the lab and have it test positive for suck. The Mets are in last place, five under .500 and 7½ out of first. And that's the relatively benign news.
• Noah Syndergaard was scratched from his prospective showdown versus the pitcher for whose past his future was traded. Thor's nemesis on Thursday wasn't the literary lion Dickey but a comic book villain named Biceps Tendinitis. The painful bastard kept Noah from raising his right arm above his shoulder on Wednesday. No, that doesn't sound serious at all. Depending on who or what you wish to believe, Noah could be back in action as early as Sunday or disappear down the tunnel with Ray Ramirez until Odin knows when. You're familiar with how Met injuries go. Or don't go.
• Matt Harvey, an earlier model of mythic fireballing acedom, served as emergency starter his second start in a row. He used to be the Dark Knight. Now he's Sean Gilmartin Deluxe. Matt wasn't tipped off that Noah wasn't feeling tip-top, so he went ahead with his regularly scheduled exhaustive workout. As a result, the thoracic outlet syndrome recoveree didn't quite have enough gas in the tank to vigorously compete with a 42-year-old knuckleballer. Ad hoc Harvey Day was over in the fifth.
• Yoenis Cespedes doubled in the fourth inning, and if that's all we said about it, you'd think, hey, great. No, not great. Cespedes and his high-strung hamstring came up limping well short of second, which sent Cespedes where all Met hopes must eventually go, directly down Trainer Ray's Tunnel. We'll see Yoenis in our dreams, but not in our lineup.
R.A. Dickey, now an Atlanta Brave, is no longer capable of lifting our spirits, but he had a better Thursday than all who have succeeded him at the top of the Met marquee. He wasn't Cy Young superb, but all he needed to be was quotidian because he was facing the lousy Mets. He got through five innings, two of them with a spasming left quadriceps, which is exactly the sort of thing R.A. Dickey would a) have and b) ignore. Really, how calm does a pitcher's quad need to be when the opponents are the Mets?
The quad acted up when R.A. was running to first in the fourth. He ran to first in the second as well, on a play that foretold what kind of day it was going to be. With one out and the bases loaded after Harvey gave up two walks and a single, Dickey squibbed a ball to Jose Reyes at third. Reyes, not a third baseman, could have…no, should have thrown home to force Kurt Suzuki. Instead, he threw to Jay Bruce at first. Bruce, not a first baseman, made the putout on Dickey while Suzuki was scoring. Later, Suzuki blasted a three-run homer off Harvey. That also encapsulated what kind of day it was. As did ramblin', gamblin' third base coach Glenn Sherlock waving Bruce — as much a sprinter as he is a first baseman — to his watery doom at the plate. Jay was running from second. Ender Inciarte was firing from center. Sherlock liked those odds. The laws of physics didn't.
The Mets eventually scored five runs, none of them remotely threatening to Dickey's determination to garner a decision. R.A. was followed to the mound by Eric O'Flaherty, whom we dared mock in the wake of Opening Day, when we fancied the Mets a rock-solid contender. O'Flaherty was a disaster against the Mets on April 3, just as he was a disaster for the Mets in the otherwise sunny year of 2015. On April 27, O'Flaherty retired all four Mets he faced.
Reyes did slightly redeem his earlier miscue by throwing home from third twice on two other obvious throw-home-from-third situations and by hitting a solo home run at some inconsequential juncture of the contest. Neil Walker had three hits. Curtis Granderson had one, which is the Curtis Granderson April equivalent of three. Josh Smoker set down all eight post-Harvey hitters he encountered. Mostly Syndergaard couldn't go and Cespedes couldn't stay, but I figured I'd mention the handful of nominal positives in case you're planning on not giving up the ghost with 141 games to play.
That's assuming the ghost hasn't already gone on the 10-day DL.

How close is Nimmo to coming back?
Greg Prince
He has begun a rehab assignment.
K. Lastima
If Nimmo is the answer, I'm afraid to hear what the question is.
Best thing I can come up with here would be 'What's for dinner?' …
In the spirit of Jeopardy, "Who is the Mets' most recent disappointing prospect?"
Nimmo played okay with the Mets last season. The question is, who's next on the list after Conforto and Lagares of young replacement Mets outfielders? Dimmed prospect or not, next on the list is Nimmo.
Well, working for a living meant I didn't get to watch though I did listen to RA SO two Mets in the 1st driving back from lunch. Yay.
There's a formula though. .500 by the ASG, trade for Kelly Johnson, make the postseason. It's our thing. Our thing is still alive.
Five runs is a minor miracle. So are 2 hits from Reyes. The way I've seen him swinging his HR is a major one.
Bye Yoenis, see you in June. Maybe.
Remember the formula, .500 in July.
I can't type a fully coherent thought this early which fits because I've forgotten when the Mets played a fully coherent game.
9th string catcher
.500 by the ASG, trade for Kelly Johnson, make the postseason. It's our thing.
As I have a preference for day baseball, I considered rearranging my day so I could go to the game yesterday. Then my boss's boss scheduled a 3pm meeting that would've made no sense without me there. I owe him bigtime.
Baseball is a simple game. You throw the ball, you suck, you lose.
BlackCountryMet
Fire Glen Sherlock. NOW
Pete In Iowa
Then what about ALL THAT PROGRESS TdA has made under his tutelage?? May well be a worse catching instructor than 3B coach! We hit the Daly Double with him!
Bicep tendonitis.
Stiff neck.
TOS survivor (?)
Flexor tendon rehab patients (2).
I'm good after the first inning-pesky mechanics.
I couldn't get my sinker up.
No problem if Noah goes down – we've got Montero.
Zack is our best pinch hitter (?)
Kelly Johnson – where are you ?
Ken K. in NJ
There isn't really any way to objectively research this, but I've been wondering if there's ever been a "contending" team that won a hard-fought tense long extra inning game in April and it became a turning point of the season…for the worse.
Greg Mitchell
Yoenis will always be a leg-injury-waiting-to-happen. Get used to it (and plenty of limping) for how many more years?
Ah. So that's why he never hustles on the bases OR in the field. Got it!
It might be time for baseball as a whole to realize that chicken and beer is better for baseball players than squatting a billion pounds and throwing a 40 pound medicine ball three days before a start. I cant help but think of Mets hotstove with Gary Apple this winter hearing Noah say "I want to throw harder" and seeing Yo in the gym leg pressing a billion pounds. Maybe its time for light lifting, yoga, and running. Seriously. Lean and loose.
Stan Musial was listed as 6 foot but was probably an inch shorter and the guy weighed 175 pounds. One of the best hitters the world has ever seen. He didn't inject hgh and he didn't have a personal trainer. God just made him a hitter. Weight lifting is ruining baseball.
Chris Sale disappears when he turns sideways. Throws 98 mph.
Willie Mays almost never missed a game for 15 years. World stopped turning for a day when he passed out from exhaustion and missed a day or two.
Fun fact: after that epic 16 inning 1-0 CG loss to Marichal in 1962, Spahnie (not exactly a physical specimen) went out 5 days later–and pitched a CG–shutout. At age 42.
No worries about Yoenis . . . while the Mets are in DC he can rehab his hammy with a few rounds at Congressional CC . . . all good, right Sandy?
Five or nine years from now, this post will be very amusing to read. I know that for a fact, because whenever I have really nothing else to do, I dive into the archives of crummy seasons of this lovely page.
Jacobs27
Over at Metsblog, Matt Cerrone has this to say, and I agree:
"If a guy has a stiff neck, fine, give him a day or two to rest. If a guy has a hang nail, sit him a day. He'll almost certainly be fine tomorrow. But when it comes to obliques, biceps, muscle strains, hamstrings and other connective tissue and ligaments that could eventually lead to deeper injury, for the love of Mr. Met, just put the guy on the disabled list.
In years past, maybe it made sense to handle this more liberally. However, had the Mets instantly put Cespedes on the newly-created 10-day DL, he'd have been resting and ready to return on Tuesday. The Mets could not have known they would lose six games in a row, but the fact is that they were losing with Cespedes on the roster, not in games, so they could have lost those games without him too. At least they'd get him back healthy and ready for action, at 100 percent, starting May 2, instead of now having to play without him again until May 9.
The Mets need to stop screwing around with their best hitter. It should be obvious."
There's a lot else wrong with this lousy ballclub and how it's run, but at least that should be fixable… Also, we all know that there's no way Cespedes comes back May 9th. June 9th would be optimistic. Oy ve.

'Such a Lousy Ballclub'….yes, but it's OUR Lousy Ballclub.
(Attention Bandwagoners: please check under your Field and Excelsior seats for your personal belongings and keep to the right as you exit.)
April, guys. Still April. Yes, things look bleak. They always do…
My own personal ranking of fans who take losing the hardest:
1. Mets fans
2. Dodgers fans when they lose to the Giants
30. Padres fans
Matt in Richmond
Great comments about the perils of overdoing the weight lifting. I think a certain amount of strength training is probably beneficial, but flexibility is almost certainly more important. I've had his conversation numerous times and the example I always use is Hank Aaron…6′ 180lbs pretty much his whole career and arguably the greatest power hitter ever. From 1955-1970 he never played in fewer than 145 games, most years in the 155 range. How much heavy lifting you think he was doing?
And his playing in 145 per year was no exception — that was the norm for just about EVERYONE. And, that was with numerous doubleheaders throughout the season. All those games in fewer days.
I miss those days…..
also you leave out–some of those were 154-game seasons.
Syndergaard's "dead arm".
Harvey's workout.
Familia can't throw strikes.
Salas deciding to become the batting practice hurler.
Granderson's and Reyes' ohs-for-April.
Duda's elbow.
Flores' knee.
Cabrera's leg.
Wright's neck, back and shoulder.
Cespedes' hamstring.
D'Arnaud's 200 BA and statue posing after he rises out of his crouch as he throws to second.
Gsellman's first innings.
Lagares' flailing swings.
Can't we JUST LOSE WITH DIGNITY!!
Lenny65
Anyone who's ever watched sports (or suffered a hamstring injury) knows that hamstring injuries take time to heal. You DL Cespedes AND treat him with kid gloves when he returns. It's not the do-or-die throes of a late-season pennant chase here.
The endless angst over the starting pitchers is possibly the most aggravating long-term thing I've ever experienced in my forty-plus years of die-hard Mets fandom. Here we have this wealth of young starting pitching and we haven't been able to really enjoy a second of it as there's constantly a giant piano hanging over them all the time. Oh no, his velocity is down/mechanics are askew/looks unprepared/finger/wrist/elbow/shoulder/back hurts and it's all the time, every day, every start. I've never seen anything like it, is it this way with other teams or is it just another Mets thing? I don't have any pithy "answers" for it but I do know it's not much fun to watch or follow.
We remember the unfulfilled promise of Generation K. This group gave us the 2015 WS but has also missed a lot of time from injuries.
I hear what you're saying Lenny. It's so frustrating to have this much agita associated with the what ought to be our team's greatest strength. If you can't count on your young aces to stay on the field and be consistent, it takes a lot of the fun out of watching them, even when they are exciting… You're just waiting for the complication, the bad news, the TBA status… it's a shame.
On the pitchers–just proves the point I've made over and over and for years–very, very hard to build a team on young pitching these days. At least half of them have serious or off and on pitching ailments, from TJ surgery on down. It was all fairly predictable. The Cubs did it right, drafting young position players and trading or signing experienced pitchers with relative track record of health.
They are stacked with them. Would the Red Sox even think of trading Betts, Bogaerts and Benitendi for Noah-Harvey-deGromm? I could go on. That's why the real future of the Mets rests with Rosario, Smith and maybe Conforto, and maybe someone in A ball now…
Meh. You can bludgeon your way to the playoffs sometimes, but historically it's pitching that wins in October. Very very rare for the top offensive team(s) to take home the trophy. For all their young every day talent, there's a legit argument that Arietta, Lester, Hammel and Hendricks were equally important to them last year. And if memory serves, we beat them in 2015…….
You are totally missing the point. Whose roster would you rather have for next 4 years, Cubs or Mets (and assume Lester, Arrieta, Hendricks all gone by then)? And you also forget we lost to Royals who had vastly inferior starting pitching.
Am I being a crabby old "get off my lawn" guy to think that Jose's "war paint" look is not befitting for a guy looking quite a ways up just to attain the "Mendoza Line"?
I'm not missing your point I just don't agree with it. You're claiming that it's better to build with position players than pitchers. I'm not convinced that's true. Clearly with where the two franchises sit at this exact moment, anyone would rather be in the Cubs' shoes, but that doesn't prove or disprove anything. If you'd asked anyone the same question in 2015, when our young pitching had shut them down, it would be a tossup at best.
The bigger issue is that this is a fascile comparison, to put the Cubs and Mets against each other in a vacuum. It's to assume that there are no other factors (available resources, draft picks
etc). It's an oversimplification. Let's put it this way. If you and I each had 10,000 dollars and you invested in blue chip stocks and lost 3k and I bought 10,000 dollars worth of lottery tickets and won 1 million dollars, that certainly wouldn't prove that lottery tickets were a better investment. It would be anecdotal.
Bogus analogy. The crippling trend of arm injuries to young pitchers, widely recognized by nearly all (though apparently not everyone), is hardly "anecdotal.'
I feel like we're kind of talking past each other here a bit. Of course I'm aware of how injury prone pitchers are. In fact we have had discussions where I've been beating the drum about how inherently dangerous pitching is, while you've been blaming TC for someone's injury. I can only infer from your comments now that we are in agreement on that point.
The discussion though wasn't are pitchers prone to injury but rather is it automatically smarter to draft position players. My opinion is that it's an oversimplification to just automatically say yes and to use the Cubs as "proof" as to why it's so. History is rife with teams riding a hot pitcher or 2 to a WS crown. It's also replete with position players putting up monster stats during the regular season and doing little to nothing in October. There is no simple right or wrong, but for my money, I'd always rather rely on pitching when everything's on the line. And I'm far from throwing in the towel on Noah, Zack, Jake, Matt or even Steven.

Hideo Kojima Teases Possible Death Stranding 2 Symbols
By Josh Tolentino December 2, 2022
Hideo Kojima dropped a new teaser for his new Kojima Productions game. The latest reveal, which comes via Kojima's official Twitter account, invites viewers to "Start a new journey." Accompanied by three mysterious symbols, the teases are widely rumored to be connected to an in-development Death Stranding 2.

— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) December 2, 2022
Kojima's tweet features three mysterious symbols, at least one of which appeared on earlier teases confirming the involvement of actress Elle Fanning. One symbol is a logo for something called the "Automated Public Assistance Company." The second symbol was present on the Fanning teaser, and depicts a mysterious structure under an umbrella-like shape. The third symbol shows a tentacled creature pierced by harpoons. Exactly what the symbols mean is unknown, but they appear to be corporate or organizational logos of some kind.
The latest teases appear to be leading up to a reveal set for the 2022 Game Awards show. The Game Awards official Twitter account, as well as the account of creator and host Geoff Keighley, responded to Kojima's tease with hints that more will be revealed at the show on December 8, 20222, when the show goes live.
As for the connection to Death Stranding 2, that is also unconfirmed, though actor and Death Stranding star Norman Reedus did confirm that production is under way on the game. Kojima Productions is working on at least two projects. One is likely Death Stranding 2, while another, codenamed or titled "Overdose" appears to be connected to actress Margaret Qualley (who played Mama in Death Stranding). Some footage and screenshots of project Overdose leaked in early November.

This page displays the number and size of the unconfirmed bitcoin transactions, also known as the transactions in the mempool. It gives a real-time view and shows how the mempool evolves over the time. The transactions are colored by the amount of fee they pay per byte. The data is generated from my full node and is updated every minute. Note that in bitcoin there is no global mempool; every node keeps its own set of unconfirmed transactions that it has seen.
The data is separated into different fee levels given in satoshi per bytes. The lowest colored stripe is for transactions that pay the lowest fee. Higher fee transactions are stacked on top of it. Since miners prefer high fee transactions, a new block usually only removes the top 1000 kB from the queue. If a colored stripe persists over several hours without getting smaller, this means that transactions paying this amount of fee are not confirmed during this time, because there are higher paying transactions that take precedence. If a stripe on the bottom chart is much bigger than on the top chart, the transactions are larger than the average.
You can click on some fee level in the legend to hide all fee levels below that level. This way you can better see how many transactions are competing with that fee level. You can also click in the legend to toggle the visibility of the total fee statistics.

Q: How to use a SAS Expander I would like to hookup my mother board to the backplane. Th backplane requires 5 minSAS connectors, for a total of 20 hard disks. My motherboard only supports 2 miniSAS connectors, for a total of 8 hard disks. Can anyone recommand a VMware approved solution for this?

A: You're not fully explaining what you wish to do. In this case, I would use a dedicated SAS HBA to connect to your external chassis. An example would be something like the LSI 9200 or 9205 controllers. I'd leave the motherboard slots alone. How many drives are you trying to address?
Are SURE that your enclosure has minisas connectors? Most enclosures will have SFF-8088 4-lane connectors.

A: A very old post - but for the sake of similar questions in the future i'll answer it anyway.

Th backplane requires 5 minSAS connectors, for a total of 20 hard disks. My motherboard only supports 2 miniSAS connectors

That's most often number of ports for average SAS controller, 2 connectors = 8 drives.

Can anyone recommand a VMware approved solution for this?

VmWare has nothing to do with expanders (ESX or VmWare Workstation). Expander is invisible to operating systems: esx, linux, windows, etc. Some expanders don't even plugin to PCIe, just to power supply (that's how much expander talks to motherboard). It's hardware compatibility between a controller and an expander that matters.
Probably you wanted to ask if your SAS controller/hba on motherboard is compatible with VmWare ESX - that you'll have to check with vmware. If it's LSI based then it's natively supported in ESX. If you talk about VmWare workstation any controller/hba that has drivers for Windows/Linux will work.

Since you asked "How to use a SAS Expander":

*

*You connect you HD MiniSAS (further: SFF-8644) motherboard connectors to your expander using 2 identical cables that have: SFF-8644 on one end and SFF-8087 on the other end. I "presume" that your expander has SFF-8087 connectors.

*Now you connect expander to backplane with 5 cables SFF-8087 -> SFF-8644 (same cable as earlier, probably just a bit longer).

This answers your question (presuming few things since you did't specify motherboard nor expander you use, nor version of vmware).
Additionally:
Read the expander manual to see which are "controller link" ports (usually 1,2 or 0,1 - if you mistake no damage will occur, but disks won't be in "tree" structure (controller->expander->disks, you will see controller->disks). Here's example of correct connection between controller and expander.

Advice: try to buy expander of the same manufacturer as the controller to avoid weird issues and ping-pong on help-desks when things go south.

Today I went to see the exhibition presented at the Manufacture nationale des Gobelins (Gobelin Manufactory) and I really enjoyed it.
Manufacture nationale des Gobelins, is a tapestry factory located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. It was built 400 centuries ago, spurred on by Henri IV of France and it's still in activity. Nowadays, the Manufacture nationale des Gobelins employs 30 agents, working on 15 looms. The pieces they create are for the premises of the French Administration.
Each year, the Manufacture nationale des Gobelins organises a temporary exhibition about these pieces of art. And precisely, the current exhibition is about masterpieces created over the last century. It's a very interesting way of looking back at the period starting from 1918, in an artistic, sociological, political and technical terms.
I have to say that I actually liked almost every tapestry. The selection is amazing: Lurçat Matisse, Picasso, Mirò, Le Corbusier, Delaunay, Dufy, Derain and many other big names. And it's also a nice way to learn more about the French culture and know-how.
My piece of advice: don't miss the video presenting the huge tapestry about Petain and the one presenting the work of loom setter. Very interesting.

My husband is undoubtedly a meat eater but I like vegetables so it is okay with me to have some meatless meals. Barbecues can often be a difficulty for vegetarians as they are normally such a meat fest. Yet another of the really very best recipes that is nonetheless a preferred of vegans is the Avocado Grapefruit Salad. Add some butter or oil, herbs and spices and you can give the vegetables an wonderful flavor.
But possessing stated this my issue with the book is that it has not been written by a vegetarian author and as a outcome the book is written virtually apologetically as if it the ideal that could have been completed without meat. There are numerous replacements for meat or animal by-products that are scrumptious and pretty simple to uncover in well being meals shops and supermarkets.
Several ready-produced puddings use vegetable suet anyway, and will say on the labels if they are appropriate for vegetarians. The other items to think about if you are cooking meat as properly, is to hold the dishes separate, vegetarians are usually quite fussy about animal fats, and the roast potatoes will need to be cooked in a vegetable oil rather than the standard meat fats. This meal can simply be prepared when serving a classic Turkey roast if you have a mixed celebration of each meat-eaters and vegetarians, just by substituting the meat for the nut roast for the vegetarians.


OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 28, 2009) - The Weather Network expects warm summer days and a fairly typical summer ahead, according to their 2009 summer forecast. Canada's leading provider of weather information suggests that the lack of a strong El Nino or La Nina in the Pacific Ocean means that Canada should have its normal share of warm weather interrupted by occasional cool spells and thunderstorms.
"Our seasonal forecast team is predicting near to above normal temperatures across much of the country," says Chris Scott, Forecast Operations Manager with The Weather Network. "Summer precipitation is more challenging to predict because of the intense local nature of thunderstorms, but we do see the potential for drier than normal conditions in parts of the Prairies."
Temperatures are forecast to recover to near to above normal values after a cool and sometimes snowy spring across parts of the Prairies. The spring trend of warmer than normal temperatures for Southern Ontario and Quebec looks to continue for the summer months. Severe thunderstorms are common during the summer and as always, The Weather Network will be tracking localized thunderstorms as they develop. Additionally, The Weather Network's team of over 40 meteorologists and presenters will be covering the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1st to November 30th.
El Nino and La Nina are phases of the climate cycle called the El Nino/Southern Oscillation which describes the ocean and atmospheric patterns occurring in and over the equatorial Pacific Ocean. El Nino is characterized by warmer than normal sea-surface temperatures west of South America that endure for several seasons, where as La Nina represents the opposite cooler phase. Changes in water temperature across vast stretches of the Pacific Ocean cause disruptions in the trade winds and weather conditions. Both phenomena have a large impact on the jet stream and weather patterns around the world that can result in floods or droughts.

Q: Matrix Multiplication in pure Python? I'm trying to multiply two matrices together using pure Python. Input (X1 is a 3x3 and Xt is a 3x2):
X1 =  [[1.0016, 0.0, -16.0514],
       [0.0, 10000.0, -40000.0],
       [-16.0514, -40000.0, 160513.6437]]
Xt =  [(1.0, 1.0),
       (0.0, 0.25),
       (0.0, 0.0625)]

where Xt is the zip transpose of another matrix. Now here is the code:
def matrixmult (A, B):
    C = [[0 for row in range(len(A))] for col in range(len(B[0]))]
    for i in range(len(A)):
        for j in range(len(B[0])):
            for k in range(len(B)):
                C[i][j] += A[i][k]*B[k][j]
    return C

The error that python gives me is this:

IndexError: list index out of range.

Now I'm not sure if Xt is recognised as an matrix and is still a list object, but technically this should work.

A: One liner:
def dot(m1, m2):
    return [
        [sum(x * y for x, y in zip(m1_r, m2_c)) for m2_c in zip(*m2)] for m1_r in m1
    ]

Explanation:
zip(*m2) - gets a column from the second matrix
zip(m1_r, m2_c) - creates tuple from m1 row and m2 column
sum(...) - sums multiplication row * col
Test:
m1 = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
m2 = [[7, 8], [9, 10], [11, 12]]
result = dot(m1, m2)
assert result == [[58, 64], [139, 154]]

A: When I had to do some matrix arithmetic I defined a new class to help. Within such a class you can define magic methods like __add__, or, in your use-case, __matmul__, allowing you to define x = a @ b or a @= b rather than matrixMult(a,b). __matmul__ was added in Python 3.5 per PEP 465.
I have included some code which implements this below (I excluded the prohibitively long __init__ method, which essentially creates a two-dimensional list self.mat and a tuple self.order according to what is passed to it)
class Matrix:
    def __matmul__(self, multiplier):
        if self.order[1] != multiplier.order[0]:
            raise ValueError("The multiplier was non-conformable under multiplication.")
        return [[sum(a*b for a,b in zip(srow,mcol)) for mcol in zip(*multiplier.mat)] for srow in self.mat]

    def __imatmul__(self, multiplier):
        self.mat = self @ multiplier
        return self.mat

    def __rmatmul__(self, multiplicand):
        if multiplicand.order[1] != self.order[0]:
            raise ValueError("The multiplier was non-conformable under multiplication.")
        return [[sum(a*b for a,b in zip(mrow,scol)) for scol in zip(*self.mat)] for mrow in multiplicand.mat]

Note:

*

*__rmatmul__ is used if b @ a is called and b does not implement __matmul__ (e.g. if I wanted to implement premultiplying by a 2D list)

*__imatmul__ is required for a @= b to work correctly;

*If a matrix is non-conformable under multiplication it means that it cannot be multiplied, usually because it has more or less rows than there are columns in the multiplicand

A: If you really don't want to use numpy you can do something like this:
def matmult(a,b):
    zip_b = zip(*b)
    # uncomment next line if python 3 :
    # zip_b = list(zip_b)
    return [[sum(ele_a*ele_b for ele_a, ele_b in zip(row_a, col_b))
             for col_b in zip_b] for row_a in a]

x = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9],[10,11,12]]
y = [[1,2],[1,2],[3,4]]

import numpy as np # I want to check my solution with numpy

mx = np.matrix(x)
my = np.matrix(y)

Result:
>>> matmult(x,y)
[[12, 18], [27, 42], [42, 66], [57, 90]]
>>> mx * my
matrix([[12, 18],
        [27, 42],
        [42, 66],
        [57, 90]])

A: Matrix Multiplication in pure python.
def matmult(m1,m2):
r=[]
m=[]
for i in range(len(m1)):
    for j in range(len(m2[0])):
        sums=0
        for k in range(len(m2)):
            sums=sums+(m1[i][k]*m2[k][j])
        r.append(sums)
    m.append(r)
    r=[]
return m

A: This is incorrect initialization. You interchanged row with col!
C = [[0 for row in range(len(A))] for col in range(len(B[0]))]

Correct initialization would be
C = [[0 for col in range(len(B[0]))] for row in range(len(A))]

Also I would suggest using better naming conventions. Will help you a lot in debugging. For example:
def matrixmult (A, B):
    rows_A = len(A)
    cols_A = len(A[0])
    rows_B = len(B)
    cols_B = len(B[0])

    if cols_A != rows_B:
      print "Cannot multiply the two matrices. Incorrect dimensions."
      return

    # Create the result matrix
    # Dimensions would be rows_A x cols_B
    C = [[0 for row in range(cols_B)] for col in range(rows_A)]
    print C

    for i in range(rows_A):
        for j in range(cols_B):
            for k in range(cols_A):
                C[i][j] += A[i][k] * B[k][j]
    return C

You can do a lot more, but you get the idea...

A: The fault occurs here:
C[i][j]+=A[i][k]*B[k][j]

It crashes when k=2. This is because the tuple A[i] has only 2 values, and therefore you can only call it up to A[i][1] before it errors.
EDIT: Listen to Gerard's answer too, your C is wrong. It should be C=[[0 for row in range(len(A))] for col in range(len(A[0]))].
Just a tip: you could replace the first loop with a multiplication, so it would be C=[[0]*len(A) for col in range(len(A[0]))]

A: The shape of your matrix C is wrong; it's the transpose of what you actually want it to be. (But I agree with ulmangt: the Right Thing is almost certainly to use numpy, really.)

A: All the below answers would return you the list.Your need to convert it to matrix
def MATMUL(X, Y):
    rows_A = len(X)
    cols_A = len(X[0])
    rows_B = len(Y)
    cols_B = len(Y[0])

    if cols_A != rows_B:
        print "Matrices are not compatible to Multiply. Check condition C1==R2"
        return

    # Create the result matrix
    # Dimensions would be rows_A x cols_B
    C = [[0 for row in range(cols_B)] for col in range(rows_A)]
    print C

    for i in range(rows_A):
        for j in range(cols_B):
            for k in range(cols_A):
                C[i][j] += A[i][k] * B[k][j]

    C = numpy.matrix(C).reshape(len(A),len(B[0]))

    return C

A: def matrixmult (A, B):
    C = [[0 for row in range(len(A))] for col in range(len(B[0]))]
    for i in range(len(A)):
        for j in range(len(B[0])):
            for k in range(len(B)):
                C[i][j] += A[i][k]*B[k][j]
    return C

at second line you should change
C = [[0 for row in range(len(B[0]))] for col in range(len(A))]

A: m=input("row")
n=input("col")
X=[]
for i in range (m):
    m1=[]
    for j in range (n):
        m1.append(input("num"))
    X.append(m1)
Y=[]
for i in range (m):
    n1=[]
    for j in range (n):
        n1.append(input("num"))
    Y.append(n1)

# result is 3x3
result = [[0,0,0],
         [0,0,0],
         [0,0,0]]

# iterate through rows of X
for i in range(len(X)):
   # iterate through columns of Y
   for j in range(len(Y[0])):
       # iterate through rows of Y
       for k in range(len(Y)):
           result[i][j] += X[i][k] * Y[k][j]

for r in result:
   print(r)
