Lineup tonight in SF…
I had a flashback earlier today to the days when the Dodgers weren't always televised and it was the San Francisco games that you could always count on being on TV. Well, we're on every night these days, which is pretty cool if you ask me. Tonight we're on KCAL.
Here's the lineup.
Furcal, SS
Hudson, 2B
Manny, LF
Kemp, CF
Ethier, RF
Martin, C
Loretta, 1B
Blake, 3B
Wolf, P

Oh man I'm going to missed Marlon maybe we can dump Pierre for him.
Nice lineup doesn't even mind if Loney is out because of his 1/20 against Zito and Loretta is 4/19 but Loretta has been a good surprise for us and hitting .538 in 13 AB's.
From the previous thread…………………..
messagebear – Like I always say, when you speak, you speak well and it speaks volumes – fantastic!!!
dodgereric – great letter to #22
enchanted – having a son who is a pitcher…….they do think that way at times. At his level it's more about defense. If he knows the best defense isn't on the field, he tends to think he needs to strike everyone out and will tend to over pitch instead of trusting the pitches that create ground balls, etc. I know Kersh is at the big league and shouldn't have to think that way, but some things in a player's mind I am sure are engrained into their thinking already and perhaps that is one of them, IMO of course.
Also from the previous thread…
I would hope Kershaw has more to think about when it is his turn to pitch than who is in the Dodger lineup that game. He is a young pitcher with a lot of upside and he is going to have games like this. Pitchers with a lot more experience than Kersh have suffered whiplash pitching in Coors watching baseballs fly all over the place.
As for Joe's method of resting players, I would rather see him rest a couple guys at the same time one game a week than spread off days over a few games. I want the best players in the lineup as much as possible so I am willing to sacrafice that one game a week if necessary if doing so helps the player and the tea
Hey everybody lets have some fun…….
Let the Good Times Roll!!!
So, I guess we might have to assume most day games or fly away games will be like this. I don't have a problem resting the 3 starters as much as why do it for Kershaw. As long as it's not just him they do this too, then fine, have it Joe's way. Also, like many have said, that happens to the best pitchers at Coors Field so I am not concerned at all with Kersh's ability at all. I have every confidence he will be there in the end when it counts most.
I personally don't think we should have "throw away" games…..they will come back to bite us in the a**. I believe dodgereric said yesterday that 26 year old players don't need a day of rest. I think Pujols plays every game and, why shouln't he?!

Sorry about the triple post………"submission error"!!!
Nelly, my guess Joe would have made out Sunday's lineup the way he did no matter who was pitching for the Dodgers. I could see him making decisions based upon the opposing pitcher as he is doing tonight.
Kersh is only three years out of high school. Whether its consciously or not I think when a pitcher knows he doesn't have three key starters, and one of the replacements is Pierre (and I'm talking more about his defensive liabilities now), you couldn't help but feel you need to be more dominating to keep your club in the game. Now throw in Coors Field where sometimes a pitcher's curve gets no bite, balls carry even this time of year, and a pretty fair hitting Rockies team, and it was a disaster.
Hard to say the game would've turned out any differently, but as Tru puts it, it was thrown away almost before it was started.
Dear Matt Kemp. Please shine tonight in the fourth slot so Joe has to move you up, at least to the fifth or sixth slot on a regular basis. Thank you very much.
According to SF's local ABC News, tonight is Star Trek Movie Night at AT&T Park. There's lots of trekkies there who were interviewed, saying the Dodgers were "Worse than the Borg", and wanted it to be known that their phasers are set to "Annihilate", and pointed at "Every Dodger in the Dugout."
Where's the Death Star when you need it? Misguided, these basement-dwellers are. (and this is coming from a person who holds Trek in higher esteem than Star Wars… though I don't do the ears).
Attention Triumph, The Insult Comic Dog, you're needed at 24 Willie Mays Plaza.
Wow I didn't think they was going to trash the Giants offense on Kcal. Ok you 2 don't jinxed them tonight.
These Giant fans, duped by the Dark Side, they are…
Damn Ethier
Who are these guys with the Dodger uniforms on. That's not the Matt Kemp I'm used to seeing.
Wolf has a psyche made of glass.
Why are you mad at Andre, if I may ask?
Come on Dodgers!!!!! Lets get some runs!!!!!
A typical Wolf start.
It's windy up here in NorCal, and it's nuckin' futs like Candlestick out at the Bay. On TV, you could see the ball Kemp couldn't come up with take a 20 foot slice from where it would've ended up otherwise. As for the up the middle shot that went past Wolf and Hudson, that was a rocket… just wide of Wolf's glove.
We're not out of this one, though. Now we know what we're working with. And will someone PLEASE shut Kruk and Kuip up? And what the ^$(*@*)( is BarRoid Bonds doing at the game? His #@$# eating grin is getting on my nerves!
He almost ran into Kemp and almost was a big collison. I don't know why Ethier didn't let Kemp would had made that catch no reason to even come close to him and sorry the Giants should had zero run no excuse.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard that too northstate………what morons!!!!
Oops it should had read I don't know why Ethier didn't let Kemp catch that ball and he would had made that catch.
Well, this is not going to be our night.
It was supposed to be the second baseman's ball according to Gameday so why not let Ethier take it if O-Dog couldn't and Kemp back off…..just saying. It's too early to start blaming players for things.
I guess you not watching Kcal Vinny also said Bonds was at the game.
like northstate said, it's very windy and that ball could have been Ethier's and then moved and became Kemp's. They ruled it a double, no error was given.
I hate to be negative but I think Kemp would had made that catch if Ethier was so close to him.
After the collision, Hudson was chatting with Kemp, pointed to Ethier, and gave Kemp a bat as Kemp nodded. My guess is that O-Dawg was saying that it was Ethier's ball (and in the replay, Ethier was the one who called for it). But the scorer gave Renteria a double for the play anyway, so I guess they felt the wind made it an unplayable ball.
Kruk and Kuip are chirping with the fervor (and the intelligence) of Spring Chickens. Sickening.
Some gray haired dude kissed BarRoid Bonds before they went to commercial last inning. Just thought you should know.
The official scorer must felt sorry for Kemp. I know what I seen on TV that ball would've been caught.
Like I said, it's too early in this game to start laying blame on anything or anybody. It's is extremely windy and there will probably be more plays like it guaranteed, hopefully to our advantage next time.
Whatever 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Wasted opportunity there. Was really hoping to see Hudson's fly-ball drop. so much for that.
Think I'm gonna find out if they're carrying this game in SAP, I'd rather listen in Spanish and miss half of what they're saying than keep listening to these rejects.
The wind so far helped the Giants a lot.
Typical Dodger inning of late. We leave a numerous amount of runners on base. Can't seem to get the hit at the right time.
northstateblues – I went to gameday……………I can't stand it, not to mention my son is here, thinking they are just wonderful.
MLB premium has the game on k-cal in hd.
Wolf will settle down, waiting for the Dodgers to get close or tie…then he'll tank again. Allow me his post-game quote. "Conditions were tough out there tonight and misplays happen, especially up here. But that just means I've got to bear down and pick up my teammates. There's no excuse. I couldn't close the door with runner on base that first inning. I cost us the ball game…" ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
That's more like it! C'mon Dodgers, let's shut SF up!!!
Nelly, can't get Gameday in the living room… and can't find an AM radio to try for the Bakersfield feed.
I have mlb.com premium, but I live up here so I won't get this game because it is SF we are playing. It will be blacked out I think (at least in the past).
nellyjune, do you have mlb.tv reg or premium? All the premium games you have a choice of hpome or away feeds. Great listening to the Dodger announcers. Last year was always subjected to the other teams announcers when Dodgers on the road.
He got hit last time by Zito pitched too 😦
I got KABC radio……..I am good now. Boblee – I am blocked out from this game even on mlb.tv because it's a game in my area, regardless of home/away.
So Nellie, you get this game on regular TV, right?
Wonder if Wolf'll remember that, Nelly.
I also wonder if someone will foul a line drive right into BarRoid's grill.
And Kruk and Kuip said they'll have a special guest for the 5th inning. Wonder if the "guest" will let them know he's parked over by the commissary.
yes, but it's gnat announcers, Kruk and Kuip,and like northstate says, they are very, very, very annoying to say the very least.
Come on Dodgers, lets make Zito work hard this inning.
The announcers are umpiring again… at this rate, I'm going over to Psychollingy and thank them up and down for not being the shamless umpiring homers that these two are. Geez.
I ALMOST prefer Joe Morgan. Almost.
LMAO!!!!!! I hear ya northstateblues 🙂
Here's to hoping the Dodgers light up the scoreboard with Barry in the booth.
C'mon Dodgers, Now is the perfect time!!
OH Yes, I remember those Giant announcers, they are bad.
They root along for the Giants and cross out people in Dodger gear on the screen.
I don't blame you.
They stink, especially when the Gnats are winning.
I did call the first inning Typical for Wolf, but I don't fault him for those pop fly hits.
intresting tidbits from Barry in the booth:
"Hudson's gonna do good hitting before Manny. Rich Aurillia did good hitting before me. No slight to Kent, but I feel that me and Aurillia were the best 1-2 combination when I was playing."
"Boston should've been careful what they wished for… Look at Papi, he was more successfull with Manny in the lineup" (that was a low blow to Papi)
(about the Dodger fans)"It was just a persona, I created that character. They weren't gonna buy tickets for my ability, were they?"
Why does everyone cut Kemp so much slack? The guy has all the tools except a baseball brain. Spit, I don't know what you were looking at but Kemp clearly strayed way over into Eithier's territory and caused a collision on a ball that Andre had all the way.
Kemp's new contacts sure haven't helped him all that much .
ZITO looks good tonight,…at least for 6 innings.
… and another quote I forgot, to bring up the rear (":: in Connery voice :: bringing up the rear, just like your mother, Trebek!" Sorry, could'nt resist), about the "persona" he created: "I'm gonna have to get in touch with Manny, and teach him how to create that persona." (reacting to Duane Kuiper mentioning that the SF fans don't give Manny the business that LA fans gave Barry).
Why does everyone cut Kemp so much slack? The guy has all the tools except a baseball brain. Spit, I don't know what you were looking at but Kemp clearly strayed way over into Eithier's territory and caused a collision on a ball that Andre had all the way.
C'mon Dodgers, let's get into that Bullpen. and more importantly, DONT GET SHUT OUT!!!
Lets make some noise…. Boy's!!!!
Things better start happening it's getting late.
Maybe some mistake from Zito.
I just got home a few minutes ago, but from what I can tell the Dodgers are making Zito look way better than he' been on a long time. They seem kind of flat considering they only flew in from Colorado yesterday, which isn't that long of a flight. Damn, Andre hit the ball really hard on his last at bat. That must be frustrating as a player to tag the ball and get robbed by a good defensive play.
Well if that is right someone had a bad camera angle and had it on Kemp all this time and it look like it was Ethier fault for cutting Kemp off. If you watching Kcal on ch 9 than you see what I was talking about but still Kemp had the best angle it look like it from the screen.

This is what I see on tv maybe there was a better angle to see it.
Good job Blake.
The beard raked that one a mile. Way to go Casey!
Nice hitting Pierre run run run
C'mon Bochy, can Zito stay to play for a while longer?
Sorry for the extra post – PC power problems…
I was watching on KCAL and it looked to me like the ball was in right field, not center. After the play Hudson talked to them both and pointed to Either. It was Eithier's play. I appreciate the great plays that Kemp does make from time to time but he still has a lot to learn.
Nice hitting Pierre run run run
Now all we need is some more of that from Zito.
Great cloth CASEY.
And Juanpy getting in on the action!
And now we get into SF's weary bullpen. It's getting better all the time…
Zito's "balk" was definitely one of the highlights of the night… he had trouble holding on to it… too much Crisco? Maybe taking a page from Gaylord Perry's book?
I think the ball was in Center than the wind blew it in RF I guess it fool both players but no big deal.
Thank you 32and53fan!!!! My point was it wasn't anybody's fault. The way the wind is blowing it very well could have started out being one players ball and ended up being the others. My issue was the slamming wasn't called for that early in the game, and if you are going to slam, then why not slam Matt for the next play where he clearly misread the ball, but once again, it was in very windy conditions, and I think the scorekeeper is ruling the hits as such.
I still think we should be up 3-0. Odog is so clutch.
O-Dog! Still only one out.
Yes, Manny!!!
Nice rbi Manny.
Wow they definitely have a lot more come from behind ability this season.
Sounds like there's a goodly number of Dodger fans at the park tonight.
Sigh maybe Kemp should had took that 3-1 pitch.
I don't know why they gave Kemp the green light. I would have had him take one more pitch.

#$!@^#$@#$! Sorry again for the repost. I was just trying to check the page again.
Great catch, Andre!!
32and53fan ~ I agree with everything you said. I don't know if you are new to ITD but either way, I'm glad to see you here.
AARRRRGGHHHHHH!!! Here we go again . . . .
Now all we need is a double play.
Thanks Tru. I have been on and off here for awhile but have not posted much under that name. This blog has more of "I love my little Dodgerpoo no matter what" feel to it than the Dodger Thoughts blog or even the ProSportsDaily board.
I love the Dodgers but do not like to see mental errors. I appreciate the physical skills that players like Kemp possess but I also like scrappy, less physically gifted players that use their brains to keep on top of the action and take advantage of every opportunity. They know when to take a walk, poke the ball the other way, or to take the extra base when the other team hesitates a little.
Fielder's choice – wrong choice Beli.
This is unbelievable. Take him out, Joe!
I really don't even like listening to games coming from AT&T Park…………..can't they at least come up with another frickin' chant.
32and53 ~ who were you before?
I love the Let's go Dodgers must be alot of Dodgers fan
Nelly, they may be Gnat fans but they have midget imaginations.
dcollins – hang in there!!! We are behind you in spirit while in enemy territory. GO DODGERS!!!!
Nelly, I forgot Dcollins was at the game tonight.
LOL!!! very true bluecrewgirl. This will become the highlight of their season so far if they win this you know 🙂
Thank goodness this inning is over!!! GO DODGERS!!!!!
Got out of that with a lot less pain than there could have been.
I don't know what Casey was seeing to swing on that pitch. He was obviously asking himself the same question by the look on his face.
Well, that sucks in more ways than one around here.
You don't have much time on a 94mph pitch to determine whether to swing or not – especially when there are two strikes.
Nelly, hopefully they won't rub it in too bad. Sucks that they gave the game away after coming from behind.
No kidding – LOL!!!
Well, it looks like Wilson may have gotten a talking too after yesterday's game. I guess the rumor was is that Wilson was out partying until 3 am the night before his closing performance yesterday where he blew Cain's three run lead. Heard that information from gnat fans at school this morning.
If Belisario didn't try for the out at the plate, we would be still playing but the Pods lost so we're still 2 1/2 up.
I don't think they will be too hard on me hopefully. We are still in first place in the standings.
Lakers are having another late in the game implosion after leading by 20 they are only up by 6.
What a joke they was playing good defense until this 4th. When I seen the Jazz had like 19 points in 6 min I knew they was going to somehow blow this lead.
I remember in 1951 my teacher a Christian Brother, was the only Giant fan in a class with mostly Dodger fans. He made my classmate, the biggest Dodger bragger, put up the scoreboard the next day after Bobby Thomson HR and stated "There stands the greatest finish in baseball history"
NELLY you can make them Giant fans pay.
I think they have it now, Shad, but they seem to make it way too close too often lately.
Thank you oldbrooklynfan!!!!
I love the we want taco chant so classic there lol.
You're up by 19 points going into the 4th and Phil can't even rest 3 to 4 starters and it so amazing how they can blow this lead and man we should've won this by 25+ points.
Damn what the heck happen to the Hornets? You rarely see the +/- by all the players at -. To bad Hart wasn't the only person that didn't have a double digit +/- at +8.
So, does this mean we won't hear from enchanted after a game on days we lose?
This game reminded me of a lot of games from last season. Hope they get back on track with Bills tomorrow. I think they will. Did the kids have a good time at the prom, Nelly?
Yes, very much so bluecrewgirl. A very nice looking couple if I should say so myself. We, as adults, had a good time that night as well. Dodger game and dinner……can't beat that!!!
tough loss.coming from behind and than letting it slip away.i was at work so i couldnt watch it but i was following it on my phone.thought torre shouldve took belisario out after 1 inning.give troncoso or kuo the ball,even ohman.i dont know the last time that guy pitched.i think we definitely need wade and kuroda back.with wade back,we got our setup man and with kuroda back we can move mcdonald to the pen.i still feel eventualy we'll need to get another arm.probably a releiver.a good one.luckily we got bills tomorrow and i think he'll get us a W.the guy's been great and i hope he can continue it.and goooooooo lakers!!!
Some great things said about some Dodger outfielder who shall remain nameless………………………….Andre 🙂
forgot about the article…..
Wade is supposed to be back very soon. It can't be too soon as far as I'm concerned.
Nelly, glad they and you had a good time.
I can't wait to have Cory Wade back. I think we need him back more than Kuroda at this point, not that it wouldn't be great to have him back also, but our BP needs help ASAP.
yea our BP definitely needs help and good article on Andre.even in a year or two when mannys gone i think having him here for a few years will make dre' a dangerous hitter all the time for the rest of his carrer.any of you think eventually someone like milton or weaver will get called up?if so,you think they'd come out of the pen or maybe start for McD if he's still struggling?
Some are already thinking (or hoping) for Weaver. I am not sold on either one to be honest.
I actually would like to see Weaver get a chance. I always liked him when he was with the Dodgers before. I know he's had some real highs and real lows in recent years, but I'd like to see him come on and really contribute. One thing on his side, he was always very durable and healthy when he was with them before.
im not convinced on either as well.and i feel giving mcdonald the chance is good but if he keeps giving up 4 or 5 runs in only 4 or 5 innings eventually i think they should give weaver a shot,maybe even milton if he continues to pitch well in the minors
Oh my 119 walks I would love to see that.
I think we should dfa Elbert and called up Weaver and put McDonald in the bullpen. He was great for us last year and against Phillies in the playoff. I was getting worry about Elbert only pitches 1 game the past week.
Oh, I think it's going to happen. He has as many IBBs as Manny already, and both of them are one behind Youkilis, Pujols and Overbay. It's kind of good company, don't you think? Like joepierre said, they seem to pitch around him an awful lot like they are afraid of him, and he has been hit by a pitch by Zito twice this season already, which may not be intentional, but maybe it is.
nellyjune you talking about eithier right?
Well, That Sucked! The Hated Giants Score Three Runs in the Terrible Third when they Shouldn't Have Scored at All and then Break Down a Terrific Comeback by the Dodgers by Scoring Two Runs in the Awful Eighth by Not Hitting The Stinking Ball out of the Infield after those First Two Singles! And The Worst Part of it All was that Dodgereric Can't Even Blame Torre for Leaving Bellasario In Because He Was Glad to See Him Start the Eighth! Too Bad the Comeback Was Wasted Because it was a Beautiful Thing To See. We're Never Out of it This Year, But Then Again We'll Never Feel Safe With a Lead Either!
So, I am guessing by all the capitals you are not impressed – LOL!!!!
mdavis – yes, I am 🙂 I was answering Spit sort of
It's my anti-Deschenes attempt.
Ooh, just got an inspiration! Hold on……..
For somebody who didn't have such a great night at AT&T, he sure is making news tonight. Yes, it's Andre again 🙂
Oh, is that what that was? LMAO!!!!! Now I get it!!!!! So, enchanted will be "if we win" ndeschenes, and dodgereric will be "if we lose" ndeschenes. That makes sense 🙂
eithiers definitely getting into pitchers minds.the mans getting better and better
Well, that didn't work out very well. I was trying for a Bizarro-deschenes tack. Readers of Superman will know what I was going for but I couldn't make it work.
It sure does seem that way, doesn't it?
Well, bizarre kind of fits. If your name wasn't attached to it, I would not have known it was you who had posted it.
So, are you still working on that inspiration, or is that not going to work out either?
The bizarro thing WAS the inspiration, but I just deleted it all. Everything is backwards to them – ugly is beautiful, you win by losing, etc. Maybe enchanted's imagination can make it work, but I'm coming up empty.
Here is some information on our pitches with the Isotopes. I got his off of digthedodgers blog site……he is doing a very imformative site………..kind of cool.
Notable Pitchers: (Record, ERA, IP, WHIP, BB, K)
Eric Milton: 2-2, 3.86, 21.0, 1.14, 4, 14 (This week: 2-0, 0.00, 12.0 IP, 4 Hits, 3 BB, 7 K)
Jeff Weaver: 1-0, 3.55, 12.2, 1.03, 2, 12
Tanyon Sturtze: 0-1, 7.11, 6.1, 2.05, 4, 7 (3 saves)
Shawn Estes: 0-1, 3.46, 13.0, 1.46, 3, 14
It's okay…………….so you are not perfect – LOL!!! I thought the post was great just as it was, whether you were trying to be ndeschenes or not.
miltons numbers are nice.i say at least two or three more starts before bringing him up,weaver also needs a little more apperances to show hes solid.of course if our bullpens still blowing leads and mcdonalds sucking we're gonna have to bring some of them up regardless
So, maybe bring up Milton to see what he can do, perhaps?
BTW, there's an interesting little movie on TCM called "Kill The Umpire" with William Bendix. He's a guy who hates umps but is in school to become one. I think I saw this about a million years ago. I think he ends up making a big call at the plate in a big game. He calls a guy safe who really seemed out. The catcher dropped the ball and got knocked out. The crowd riots. The catcher comes to later and backs up Bendix' call.
I think. 🙂
I found it!!!!
So, do you know why he is seeing double?
This is funny Eric!!!!
He used the wrong eyedrops just before the game. The other guy he's umping with had a whole medicine cabinet full of stuff.
"How can people get so mad at umpires? After all, we're human too!"
"Human? Aw, go on! Umpiring is the lowest thing that can happen to a man!"
No way I don't trust Milton at all but I know Weaver can't be worst than he was in ST. I think with our offense he'll probably win 10 to 11 games but you never know what your getting with him.
Oh my Eric and it just doesn't seem right when you do that in a loss lol.
That was pretty funny……what I saw of it.
That catcher was Alan Hale, Sr – the Skipper's dad!
And I saw enough of Weaver and Milton and Estes in ST.
I gotta go to bed. Good night all, God Bless and let's get 'em tomorrow!
Good Night Dodgereric!!!! Take care and God Bless to you and your family 🙂
Good Night ITD readers and writers!!!!! A painful game tonight, but tomorrow is another day and another chance to show those gnats who is the best team, with the best fans. I will be interested to hear dcolllins' take on the game seeing how he was there. Take Care and God Bless to everyone!!
We really don't have choice do we eric? I really think pitching in ST is alot of different than pitching in a reg season game because in ST the ballpark is always smaller than the reg stadium ballpark. Well actually you guys mean later on today lol.
GN Nelly
Good Morning ITD, Dodgerfaithful
After reading the articles about the game last night, there were alot of should'a ~ would'a ~ coulda's. That wont get it done, it was a tough atmosphere with the wind and cold not to mention that lame chant, but we still need to put some solid baseball together and come out on top. Wolf erase the first inning and you pitched well, unfortunatly erasing is not an option. I have faith you will step it up though. Fielding errors, we are to good of a team and have way to much talent to continue this pattern, Hit it ~ Field it~ Throw it, and to the right base, yes Belisario they teach you in little league to get the out at first. I have faith you will do better in the future also. We put one good inning together last night when we needed it, only problem was the Giants put two good innings together when they needed it.
I have heard enough of the Could'a ~ Should'a ~ Woulda's.
Heck that is my excuse… I could'a been in the big leagues,
I should'a been a hall of famer, I would'a been but I just did'nt get it done. It does'nt work for me and it wont work for you. GET IT DONE BOY'S!!!!!
Happy Birthday to Nelly, I hope your day is just fabulous, and we can get you a Dodger win tonight!!!!
Fantastic post, Dodger4life!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a quick pop in to say Happy Birthday Nelly!
Let's hope the Dodgers get a win for your day!
Go Blue!!
Bring the Ring to LA in 2009!!!
How is Kuo going to get back his confidence and stride if he's not allowed to pitch in a game situation except once a week. In saying that I have to assume that there's nothing wrong physically with Kuo – always a big assumption when dealing with Conte's judgment. If he's not ready from Spring Training and the early season for real game action, then send him down to ABQ, so he can get in some steady work. As it is, his situation really leaves me perplexed, so I can imagine how he feels no matter how much Joe "talks" to him.
My other thought is that Joe is getting caught up in his good Troncoso experience of a few games ago, and he wants every reliever to be able to go more than one inning. Typically that doesn't work out. How many times do we see a relief pitcher do great in getting his three outs, but blows it in the next inning. That seemed to be the trademark of one Giovanni Carrara. Not automatically blaming last night's loss on leaving in Bellisario, but the crux of the problem for our eighth inning woes I believes goes back to Kuo and Joe's inability to use him effectively.
Good Morning ITD readers and writers!!!!!
Thank you tru (mom), dodger4life and dcollins!!!! Last night everyone behaved themselves in the house, and I am guessing because of today. However, I want the win today regardless. Even my custodian said even though Zito pitched a good game, we lost the game versus them winning the game. For a Giants fan, he is pretty cool, and he actually hates the "Beat LA" chant.
Good mornint ITD bloggers
Well last night lost truely sucked. PITCHERS….I'll blame it on the pitchers…and oh yeah eventhou he is a great player and I love him but KEMP shouldn't of gotten on ETHIERS way. HUDSON, MANNY & BLAKE good job and oh yeah PIERRE you did contribute to last nights scoring!
Thank you Rose……………………..one of my students gave me a Dodger history book, and another gave me a stuffed animal named "Andre"….we already have a bears named Ethier and Dodgereric so she went with Andre for a name. However, the best gifts are the homemade cards because they all have reference to either the Dodgers or my love of baseball in general. Like I said, there are many, many days where this class is probably the most challenging I have had in a long, long time, but it's times like these that are the ones that are cherished and I hold onto. Thanks again Rose, and yes, the Dodgers need to win tonight 🙂
Homemade cards are priceless. Love them! They are wonderful students. Well I hope you have a wonderful day and you receive lots of blessings and hope you receive the best present ever….DODGERS KICKING SOME GIANTS BEHINDS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NELLY!!!!! Hope you have a great one!!!!!
jhall is in the ITD house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! I am having a fabulous day, but it will be a nice top off to the day if our Dodgers win tonight 🙂
Want to join the list to wish a very happy, blessed birthday to Nelly. Hoping your day is just as special as you are!
Happy Birthday, Nelly. I wouldn't have known except for the mention by others on ITD. You're one of the pleasant center-pieces of this ITD forum, one whose comments inspire enthusiasm not only for our Dodgers and the game, but for life itself as you describe it concerning your family and your work function. You are always especially valued here and deserving of all the best. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, once again.
Wishing you a great Dodgerholic day with Billz going for his 5th win!
Hello EMMA…I just checked out your blog…OMG! I love your 70's outfit…you are CRAZY…in a fun way! LOVE IT. I saw all the pics with Kemp, Manny, Furcal (I think), and of course BROXTON…HE IS TALL..wooow! And of course I ran into your pics of FOOD. I am starving right now, those pics look delicious. So that reminds me…WHEN IN ETHIER UPDATING HIS BLOG?
Nelly ~ I'm so glad today is your birthday, I love a good party…..Unfortunatly I cant be there in person but if I was the margarita's would be plentiful……
We would also have cake…..
And if I could swing it we would have presents too…..
You know we all love ya and appreciate your commitment to ITD, Andre and the Dodgers……Gotta take care of the Team Mom, now!!!
So I hope you have a wonderful day today, and it end's with a bang!!!
Life is good today!!!!
Happy Birthday Nelly
There is a cake in there somewhere Nelly.
messagebear – Thank you very much, and I credit you, along with enchanted, jhall, dodgereric, jungar, northstateblues, Kahli and plus others we haven't seen in a while for making this so enjoyable to read in the first place. It's the writers who get the readers to sign on in the first place, and ever since the day I signed onto ITD, it's been a place of fun, excitement, at times the needed seriousness (boy, have we had those times and still are), and of course, the LMAO moments, which definitely seems to be in the majority around here most of time. So, thank you, and as always………………..looking forward to reading what you have to say about this beloved team of ours.
Dodger4life – THAT was wonderful!!!! Thank you…. and the only thing I have to wait on is the youtube one. Everything else came through just fine. Thanks for the parade of Andre pictures – LOL!!!!!! I think Ramslover needs to look at those so he can visualize who number 16 really is so maybe it will sink in this time – LOL!!!!!! You are fabulous and you are our Dodger4life!!!!!!
My pleasure Nelly……You have seen the you tube before it was Mas Tequila….Enjoy your afternoon 🙂
Yes, I have definitely seen the video then 🙂
DODGER4LIFE…if I swing by can NELLY share her present with me…well today since it is NELLY's day she can enjoy her present all to herself…but tomorrow is another day…LOL….that was great.
NELLY you are one of the people I am really looking forward to meet during our tour….the TEAM MOM….
can't wait for billingsley tonight! i trust that he can be the stopper again.. i feel that maybe we're putting too much pressure on him, but i think he's mature and can handle it.. he is our ACE after all.. let's get a win.. GO BLUE!
Pressure is on Billingsley and he knows it, but HE CAN DO IT…
Pressure is on Billingsley and he knows it, but HE CAN DO IT…
Happy Birthday Nelly! Hope it's good from start to finish.
Beat the Bay! Beat the Bay! Beat the Bay!
Is it just me, or was anyone else cussing like a sailor last night when they let Belisario pitch a second inning? Not only that, but NO ONE was warming up. Even neck deep in quicksand, NO ONE was warming up. I felt I could've called that one a mile away. I don't care if it was even James Loney (who did some pitching earlier in his career), they should've had somebody else… ANYBODY else.
Don't get me wrong, when he's on his game, Ronald Belisario is one of the best producers on the staff (Belisario, producer, get it?… :: sigh ::). But as of late, the guy has trouble INTENTIONALLY WALKING a batter. Seriously.
And the little flip to Russel at home… rookie mistake, hopefully he'll learn, but another thing he'll learn is that when it's Dodgers-Giants, fans have long memories and little sympathy. He REALLY should've tagged the batter first if he was gonna flip the ball to J. Martin 3 feet wide and 3 seconds late.

Happy Birthday June Darlin'!
Dodgereric ~ I'm the Bob Hope one!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Happy Birthday, nelly. As for Uncle Joe, you really handle a bullpen shi**y, you know that? You burn out your achievers and ignore the rest…which is fine if it's a 20-game season. Kuo pitched Friday night…"electric stuff" you called it. So Saturday and Sunday pass, a nice two days off, and lo and behold, we wake up and find the Dodgers holding an 8th-inning lead. Kuo? Nah. Pitch Kuo or DL his butt. This bullpen is gassed enough without treating Kuo like a crystal goblet.
Thank you northstateblues – just a Dodger win would be nice considering who I live with 🙂
Ward Dear/Dodgereric…………..all I keep thinking about is your story a couple weeks ago at Lucille's about when you knew you realized you needed glasses. That is how old I am today, so I keep checking my eye sight. Now, mind you, I don't need to do even close to the precision work you needed to do. All I need to be able to see is a white board from the back of the room, but still 🙂 Thank you for the birthday wishes, and thank you for the quotes………….very Dodgereric of you, and I love it!!!!!!!!
Thanks Kahli, and great post as well. Where's Ohman been is another question. When was the last time he pitched?
hey dnelly, btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🙂
Ohman last pitched in Colorado on the 26th (Sunday). One inning, no hits, no runs, one SO, 14 pitches.
The last one before that was 8 days earlier in LA against the Rocks. One and 2/3rds, one hit (HR), one run, one SO, 17 pitches.
In 7 games he's pitched 6 2/3rds, given up 5 hits, two runs (both solo HRs), one walk, two SO, a 2.70 ERA and a 0.900 WHIP.
I guess Torre's just "shaking him out".
Happy birthday, Nelly.
Thank you sara and lbirken 🙂
dodgereric – thanks for the info. I didn't see the rest of that game on Sunday as I was on the road to home and lost reception to the gnat channels 🙂 BTW – great race on Sunday as well 🙂
Good afternoon ITD boys and girls!
I know, I know. It's been a LONG time since I posted – and when I did, it wasn't for that long. And I come back to ITD to find out that it's my Nellygirl's birthday today!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NELLY!!! A bit of a rough road trip, I know. But it's still very early and I'm not too concerned; yet. For me, as long as the Dodgers keep winning most of their series' then that'll be okay with me. Just no prolonged slumps. Those things are back-breakers.
So how are my ITD friends today???
Josh mentioned the time when few Dodger games were televised. I remember quite well when the only games televised were the road games against the Giants. I recall watching the game when Marichal hit Roseboro with the bat. That was a scary moment!
Just thought I'd put up tonight's lineup according to Tony Jackson.
Ss Furcal
2B Hudson
LF Ramirez
C Martin
RF Ethier
RF Kemp
1B Loney
3B Blake
RH Billingsley
Looks like it's Russ' turn to try at cleanup. I'm sure there's no method to it – just Torre.
lbirken, I remember those days well also. I think that having only 9 televised games back in the day may well explain why I "have to" watch all the games now.
CP, a big hi to you. How's the job going?
Hey sparkle! The job is okay, but I think it may be coming to an end soon. It seems like there aren't many other areas in my crew leader's territory that needs addresses verified. We just had a meeting this afternoon. If it ends, that's okay. I mean, I know it's temporary anyways, and I REALLY need to get back to looking for a regular job. But it was interesting while it lasted! So how are you?
Thanks! I had fun with the 70's outfit. I already had it for one of our Halloween contest here at work. The only thing is the pants to the lime green plaid jacket was fitting me too tight so I just paired it with bell-bottom jeans. Josh laughed when he saw me. And yes, that is Rafael in the Photo Day pictures. I am going to do more restaurant reviews close to the stadium on another thread. Also another thread for those that visit Dodger Stadium for the first time. I was supposed to meet this Rockies fan that droved from Colorado but because his computer was not working, I did not meet him. I wanted to buy his tickets for that weekend, buy him Dodger dogs and show him our beautiful Dodger Stadium. He could have had a better time (except for his Rockies losing) with me showing him around the stadium.
Hey Emma!!! You are so nice; to be willing to show a Rockies fan our Dodger Stadium! How are you?
I'm doing ok. I had a phone interview Friday and was submitted by one of my recruiters for another job, but still nothing much going on. I started a "victory" garden on my patio and love it.
Hey ITD! remember to make your all star votes! anyways i was wondering if anybody on here listens to dodger talk? ive been calling the show after every game and i won the dodgers blutopia dvd! i love the show and ive been getting pretty comfortable even with the john the guy that takes the calls. its pretty cool cause they know me and give a cool introduction! thanks and btw ken and josh are doing a great job this year. probably cuase we actually have a winning team! well remeber to vote once again!
Thanks Carol! Tom sounds like a nice guy and he was traveling all around. Maybe next time I go to Colorado I'll meet him or next time he comes this way.
Sammie, I have not been listening to Dodger talk but I'll listen next time. I used to call KFWB and back in the days when it was on KABC before. One of these times I'll make my debut there :-).
Well sparkle, remember I'm praying for you. Okay, you've peaked my curiosity. What is a "victory" garden?
Emma – I remember how nice you were when I met you at the WBC game. Speaking of Colorado, my husband and I are going there for our nephew's HS graduation Memorial Day weekend. We leave to go back to LAX on Monday the 25th, the same day that the Dodgers play in CO. So we've got tickets to that game, before our flight leaves!
I do remember your prayers – and again, thank you! You're on my prayer list, too.
Victory gardens date back to the first and second world wars. During those times, people would set out veggie gardens so they could have fresh food. The canned foods were sent to our servicemen overseas. These gardens became known as "victory gardens" because they supported the war effort. I'd dare to say our economic problems and our fight against them can be likened to a war, therefore, I have a victory garden.
Ah, got it sparkle! Great idea!
new thread…

Saw this restaurant review before on other food blogger, and it looks kinda tempting. Went there for lunch yesterday for there is a free-of-charge-driver. Haha..
The restaurant is located at ground floor, Pavillion, just next to Food Republic.
it's at self-service concept, where u order at the counter
take a number plate with u, and wait for the waiter to bring in your food
on the table, are assorted sauces like these
there are set meals available, you can choose either
A) main course + drink
B) main course + miso soup
Beef Set with egg, Rm14
juicy and very thin beef slices, tenderly soft
personally think this taste good, quite big portion too
Chicken Set with egg, RM14
the chicken looks dull, but the driver said it taste good
Unagi Set, Rm14.90
very few unagi, and very smal pieces too
unagi taste over-cooked, hm, probably leave it at the hot plate too long
there's actually something inside the corns and rice as you can see
stir mix the butter hidden under, and put on some black pepper
P/S: The restaurant named Pepper Lunch, probably due to the spice that they encourage the guests to add on the meal. Spice up the day ~

Contrails or chemtrails? October 24, 2008
Posted by David Cenciotti in Aviation, Military Aviation.
In the last years I have watched a proliferation of pictures showing aircraft flying at high altitudes followed by their characteristic white trails (I discussed this thing in Italian in this post: Scie di condensazione o scie chimiche?). In most cases, these images aim to highlight aircraft that, according to someone, can be associated with weather modification or military experimentation. Usually, those people use the term "chemtrails", the short for chemical trails, a definition which comes from contrails, short for condensation trails.
Let me say that I'm sure that some kind of testing has been conducted with similar aims and that someone is probably studying the possibility of changing the climate somewhere. However, I'm also sure that the majority of the images that have been circulating on the Internet show a normal phenomenon that has nothing to do with a conspiracy or with the attempts possibly done by some nation to modify the weather using airplanes.
Contrails appear from the quick condensation of the water vapour that is contained in the exhaust of the engines and in the surrounding air (due to a quick decrease in pressure and temperature) and crystallization of it around the solid aerosol particles ejected by the aircraft's engines. As temperatures where the change of state happens are extremely low (from -40° Celsius), contrails should appear from altitudes around 8,500 meters. (The ISA, International Standard Atmosphere, has a ground temperature of 15° C and a vertical temperature gradient of -6.5° C/1000 meters).
Actually, since the standard atmosphere is quite different from a real one, contrails can be seen also when aircraft are flying at lower altitudes (I remember watching an F-104 generating contrails above the mountains in central Italy in 1991 at altitudes around 3,000 meters). Furthermore, temperature aside, condensation depends also on the humidity of the air, which influences the persistence and form of the trails. The higher the humidity, the greater the possibility of ice crystals.
Trails are not static, but can expand or narrow depending on the wind (at altitude it is usually different in direction and intensity from ground level). The contrails can be continuous or intermittent, if the aircraft encounters different temperature and humidity conditions. Obviously, the trails follow the path of the aircraft, and for this reason, if the airplane turns, the trail will simply follow the same "route". If the aircraft is circling, the trail will assume an elliptical or round shape (according to the type of orbit the aircraft is performing). Should you see such non-straight contrails, you shouldn't worry: there are many aircraft that need to circle to perform their normal activities (not related to any weather modification test). Consider AWACS that have to maintain a particular working area for several hours, or aircraft involved in testing activities, or tankers involved in air-to-air refueling activities that follow the so-called "racetracks" while waiting for their receivers.
If many contrails appear more or less at the same time, or in the same place, don't be surprised: the sky is crossed by hundreds of invisible airways that connect reporting points and radio navigation aids. This means that people who live next to a waypoint or a VOR of an important airway could be overflown by a large amount number of contrails. If other aircraft flying nearby don't generate a contrail, this is also normal: air traffic control separates flights both horizontally and vertically and it is possible (if not probable) that some planes, encountering certain conditions, generate condensation trails, while others do not.
From a meteorological point of view, even if they look similar to the clouds, the contrails are not necessarily associated with any weather phenomenon. They can move, change shape, translate but can't bring rain, snow, turbulence etc. Conversely, the presence of contrails in a particular area could denote a high humidity condition in that zone.
Needless to say, the condensation clouds I explained in a recent post have nothing to do with chemistry or weather modification tests. Particular conditions of temperature and humidity, during cruise at high altitudes, can generate condensation clouds along with contrails thus leading to large trails of condensed vapor, that are very spectacular (a couple of interesting examples can be found on Airliners.net: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0980583/L/ and http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0695203/L/).
The following pictures depict the contrails generated by a flight of two Swiss F-18s overflying Axalp
I took the following picture on May 18, 2008 with a Nokia E61i mobile phone (hence the poor quality) from my house. It shows a contrail at night, lit up by the Moon.
JazzRoc – April 30, 2009
Thanks for your informative blog on "chemtrails".
It is true that aircraft have been commissioned at intervals to spread silver iodide molecules to seed rainfall. These are light aircraft, difficult to see because they fly beneath the base of a storm cloud.
It is also true that rockets and drone aircraft have been deployed to emit a burst of metal ions for radar reflectivity trials, and also true that military aircraft emit bursts of metallized glass fibres (called chaff) during maneuvers or wartime missions.
But, as you say, ALL other trails are merely ice crystals which condense from the exhausts of jet engines when the stratospheric humidity is higher than average.
What you might not know is that 17% of the stratosphere is supersaturated on average, and when an aircraft flies through these conditions, the exhaust ice crystals "seed" the deposition of MORE ICE. This deposition is not a LITTLE more, but can be a GREAT DEAL more – in the order of ONE to TEN THOUSAND TIMES more.
This means that a 3,000-mile jumbo flight can liberate 80,000 tons of ice out of the stratosphere.
This makes a BIG, BIG trail which can spread out wider than horizon-to-horizon.
It is NO WONDER that it causes concern amongst the unaware, and makes them susceptible to conspiracy theories.
However, scientific analysis of the effects of aircraft ice cirrus cloud cover shows that the overall effect of aviation is not yet discernible – for the Earth is a VERY large thing…
Fifty years of expanding aviation trade WILL significantly affect our weather, were it not for the fact that fifty years from now – we will have run out of oil altogether…
"since when do they make soda pop from burnt methanol" – I'm not saying you SHOULD. And it is kerosine that is burnt, the chemical name for which is decane, because there are ten carbon atoms in the chain which makes the compound.
"once burned the vapors are highly carcinogenic" – No they are NOT. They sting the eyes, NOT AS BAD as a garden BONFIRE (which IS highly carcinogenic). Human beings HAVE BEEN SELECTED for their resistance to carcinogens over a million years of sitting beside fires.
"go stick your face behind a turbine" – HA! I've done it many times.
"think about how much 300 million TONS is" – you're asking me to think? I'm the one that FOUND the figure…
"more than those 1500 volcanoes would weigh as a whole" – FANTASTICALLY WRONG. A million tons of VOLCANIC ASH stands in a CONE 240 FEET HIGH. Do you know of ANY VOLCANO that SMALL? I bet you DON'T.
"they do NOT produce 300 million tones of deadly gas per annum, but aircraft do" – WATER IS NOT A DEADLY GAS.
The volcanic output rates of steam, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and fine ash exceeds that of aircraft in particular, but comprise only 25% of the total (the rest comprising both Man's activities and natural life-processes such as peat-bog decomposition, melting tundra conditions, natural forest fires, and endemic fungal activities).
"smart enough not to call it a contrail" – CAN YOU READ?
"many chemtrails sprayed below 25,000 ft" – There hasn't been a single instance showed on the thousands of YouTube videos on the subject.
"NWO handlers riding you too hard again?" – Yes, it's dead tough. They're using HAARP to throw a DEATH RAY up my backside. They're bloody good shots to get right up my chuff from Alaska to Tenerife, but you know how it is…
It's definitely a contrail.
Burning kerosine makes an equal amount of water.
The plane is in the stratosphere which is stable and clear all the time.
The stratosphere can hold in supersaturation (when very clean) an excess of water as vapor.
This excess can boost the density of the trail by up to 10,000 times.
So 10,000 times as much ICE as the engines make by burning kerosine may be visible to you.
So it's DEFINITELY a CONTRAIL.
It's definitely not a "chemtrail".
The gap between engine and trail evidences the invisible exhaust vapors and gases.
Metals don't make invisible vapors – they're used in fireworks.
So there are no metals in the exhaust.
ALL organic materials burn in a jet flame at 2000 degrees to produce that GAP, for carbon dioxide (invisible) and steam (invisible) is what they will make.
No metals. No organics. Just fuel and air.
So it's DEFINITELY NOT a "CHEMTRAIL".
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Morgellons" or "Morgellons disease," is a controversial condition characterized by cutaneous symptoms, including crawling, biting, and stinging sensations; granules, threads, or black speck-like materials on or beneath the skin; and/or skin lesions. Some also report fatigue, mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, and changes in vision. The CDC indicates the etiology of Morgellons is unknown and there is insufficient information to determine if persons who identify themselves as having Morgellons have a common cause for their symptoms, share common risk factors, or are contagious.
The etiology of this condition is unknown, and the medical community has insufficient information to determine whether persons who identify themselves as having this condition have a common cause for their symptoms or share common risk factors. An epidemiologic investigation is needed to better characterize the clinical and epidemiologic features of this condition; to generate hypotheses about factors that may cause or contribute to sufferers' symptoms; and to estimate the prevalence of the condition in the population; and to provide information to guide public health recommendations."
Morgellons disease is not a widely recognized medical diagnosis, and medical professionals' opinions about Morgellons disease are divided. Some health professionals believe that Morgellons disease is a specific condition likely to be confirmed by future research. Some health professionals, including most dermatologists, believe that signs and symptoms of Morgellons disease are caused by common skin illnesses or psychological disorders such as delusional parasitosis. Other health professionals don't acknowledge Morgellons disease or are reserving judgment until more is known about the condition.
It was first reported three hundred years ago. If that is so, one has to ask how the aircraft and the spray technology were supposed to have existed then?
"So really, it is about faith rather than debating the real evidence." – joejoeirish, all I have seen IS faith. There has been NO REAL EVIDENCE. Assertions are NOT EVIDENCE. Pictures of "fluffy stuff" are NOT EVIDENCE.
What IS EVIDENT is that "fluffy stuff" CANNOT BE DEPLOYED AT ALL from aircraft, and WHITE PAINT PRODUCTS (barium and aluminum oxides) cannot be deployed except from VERY SPECIALIZED AIRCRAFT.
They would have to be MILITARY, and if you look at the annual military fuel usage and subtract from it the Iraq war fuel and aircraft carrier fuel and home-based fighter fuel, there is NOT ENOUGH FUEL LEFT to carry out this impossible concept. ONE DOSE of WHITE PAINT for coverage of the US (not even 2% of the Earth's surface area) would involve 170,000 tons of WHITE PAINT and a heck of a lot of fuel.
You guys have to be as CLUELESS about LOGISTICS as you are about Earth's atmosphere, Chemistry, and Biology. Why am I surprised? You don't do LOGIC either!
The "fluffy stuff" you see is the many tons of fine crystals of ice produced by normal civil aircraft when they fly through saturated air.
The dew point (or dewpoint) of a given parcel of air is the temperature to which the parcel must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water, called dew. When the dew point temperature falls below freezing it is called the frost point, as the water vapor no longer creates dew but instead creates frost or hoarfrost by deposition. The graph above shows the maximum percentage of water vapor that can exist in air at sea level across a range of temperatures. Note that with higher temperatures the equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor increases, thus more water evaporates. The behavior of water vapor does not depend on the presence of air. The formation of dew would occur at the dew point even if the only gas present were water vapor. Dew point is a monotonic function of the partial pressure of water vapor, so dew point can be determined from partial pressure of water vapor alone, and vice versa.
At a given barometric pressure, independent of temperature, the dew point indicates the mole fraction of water vapor in the air, or, put differently, determines the specific humidity of the air. If the barometric pressure rises without changing this mole fraction, the dew point will rise accordingly.
Reducing the mole fraction will bring the dew point back down to its initial value. In the same way, increasing the mole fraction after a pressure drop brings the dew point back up to its initial level. For this reason, the same dew point in New York and Denver (which is at a much higher altitude) will imply that a higher fraction of the air in Denver consists of water vapor than in New York.
On the other hand, at a given temperature but independent of barometric pressure, the dew point indicates the absolute humidity of the air. If the temperature rises without changing the absolute humidity, the dew point will rise accordingly. Reducing the absolute humidity will bring the dew point back down to its initial value. In the same way, increasing the absolute humidity after a temperature drop brings the dew point back up to its initial level. Coming back to the New York – Denver example, this means that if the dew point and temperature in both cities are the same, then the mass of water vapor per cubic meter of air will also be the same in those cities.
The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. If the relative humidity is 100%, the dew point is equal to the current temperature. Given a constant dew point, an increase in temperature will lead to a decrease in relative humidity. It is for this reason that equatorial climates can have low relative humidity, yet still feel humid.
Humans tend to react with discomfort to high dew points. Those accustomed to continental climates often begin to feel uncomfortable when the dew point reaches between 15 and 20 °C (59 to 68 °F). Most inhabitants of these areas will consider dew points above 21 °C (70 °F) to be oppressive.
Dew Points
20+C (68F) Oppressive
18C (64F) Sticky
16C (61F) Humid
13C (55F) Comfortable
10C (50F) Refreshing

Here is a formula to calculate the dew point in degrees Celsius to within ±0.4 °C. It is valid for
0 °C < Td < 50 °C
T = temperature in degrees Celsius
RH = is the relative humidity as a fraction (not percent)
Td = the dew point temperature to be calculated
The formula is:
T_d = frac {b gamma(T,RH)} {a – gamma(T,RH)}
gamma(T,RH) = frac {a T} {b+T} + ln RH
a = 17.27
b = 237.7 °C
ln is the natural logarithm.
There is also a very simple approximation which allows you to convert in your head between the dew point, the dry bulb temperature and the relative humidity, which is accurate to within about ±1 °C as long as the relative humidity is above 50%. This can be expressed as a simple rule of thumb: for every 1 °C difference in the dew point and dry bulb temperatures, the relative humidity decreases by 5%, starting with RH=100% when the dew point equals the dry bulb temperature. In equations this is:
T_d = T – frac {(100 – RH)} {5}
RH = 100 – 5(T – Td)
where in this case RH is in percent, and T and Td are in degrees Celsius. The derivation of this, a discussion of its accuracy, comparisons to other approximations, and more information on the history and applications of the dew point are given in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
In Fahrenheit
Tf_d = Tf – frac {(100 – RH)} {3.333}
For example, a relative humidity of 100% means dew point is same as air temp. For 90% RH dew point is 3 degrees Fahrenheit lower than air temp.
For every 10 percent lower, dew point drops 3 deg.
Tf_d is in Fahrenheit RH same as above.
Alternatively, there are a number of moisture sensing retail products available which measure relative humidity.

Automatic contamination detection
Checklight—part of the Whitewater Technology Group—has introduced a monitoring system for municipalities and water utilities that automatically detects water contamination—alerting the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system within minutes. CheckLight's state-of-the-art technology uses nonpathogenic luminous marine bacteria as early-detection sensors. Operating automatically, CheckLight's exceptionally fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution provides real-time, on-line monitoring, and enables flexible, unlimited expansion through the simple addition of monitoring units. Composed of numerous monitoring units—located at monitoring stations throughout the water system, and seamlessly integrated with the SCADA system—CheckLight's solution performs continuous automatic monitoring of water quality at various points in the system, sending immediate alerts if there are problems. Enabling comprehensive coverage of large areas, the system is exceptionally sensitive to very low concentrations of a wide range of toxic chemical agents, provides reliable and consistent results, and requires minimum maintenance and on-site visits. CheckLight's technology uses natural luminescent bacteria as early-warning biosensors, positioned inside the monitoring stations. If water is contaminated, the bacteria react by reducing emitted light, which immediately generates an automatic contamination alert. Rather than monitoring and analyzing the changing values of various parameters, bacteria respond directly in real time to a wide range of dangerous contaminants by simply dimming or turning off the light. CheckLight offers broad-spectrum biomonitoring solutions for drinking water. The company currently offers a manual kit providing early warning of water contamination.

A pair of light heavyweights looking to return to the win column collide in October with Fabio Maldonado (18-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) taking on Aaron Rosa (16-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
UFC officials today announced the contest, which takes place at UFC on Versus 6.
"Two exciting light-heavyweight sluggers have verbally agreed to throw down Oct. 1 in Washington, D.C., as Aaron Rosa takes on Fabio Maldonado," UFC president Dana White stated.
Featuring a bantamweight title fight between current champ Dominick Cruz and challenger Demetrious Johnson, UFC on Versus 6 takes place at Verizon Center. The evening's main card airs on Versus.
Maldonado vs. Rosa is part of the evening's preliminary card.
A Strikeforce, Bellator and EliteXC veteran, Rosa made his octagon debut this past June. Rosa went toe-to-toe with an always-tough Joey Beltran and ultimately succumbed to a third-round TKO.
The loss snapped a four-fight win streak for the 28-year-old Texan.
Meanwhile, Maldonado looks to rebound from a "Fight of the Night" loss to Kyle Kingsbury at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale. Maldonado peppered his opponent's rib cage with powerful body shots but fell short in the judges' eyes. The defeat snapped an 11-fight win streak for the Brazilian boxer. That run included a TKO win over James McSweeney in Maldonado's octagon debut.

Tallahassee, Florida — This holiday season, the Florida Department of Health (DOH) encourages Floridians to properly prepare meals and store food in order to prevent foodborne-illness or diseases caused by eating contaminated foods and drinks.
"Preventing foodborne-illness is important to keep your family safe and healthy during the holidays and year round," said Jamie DeMent, the Department's Coordinator of the Food and Waterborne Disease Program. "Floridians should practice four simple steps to stay healthy while cooking this holiday season–clean, cook, chill, and separate."
An easy way to prevent foodborne-illness is to maintain a clean and tidy kitchen. Insist that any helping hands in the kitchen this holiday season are cleaned thoroughly and often. Wash any objects that are in contact with raw poultry – including hands, cutting boards, knives, etc. — in hot, soapy water. Also, be sure that all uncooked meat and poultry are prepared individually and separated from vegetables and cooked food. Keep all countertop and work areas clean with disinfectant spray. Those who experienced a gastrointestinal illness during the past two weeks should refrain from preparing meals for others.
Planning ahead to ensure that you have enough time to fully prepare and cook a turkey is crucial. A frozen turkey needs 24 hours to thaw for every five pounds of bird. Therefore, a 10 lb. turkey will require two days of premium thawing time before serving. Thawing your turkey in the fridge reduces the risk of foodborne-illnesses from bacteria, which multiply rapidly at room temperature or in warm environments. Stuffing your turkey prior to cooking it allows raw poultry juices to absorb into the stuffing, causing improper cooking of the turkey to occur. Be sure to thoroughly cook the turkey at 325 degrees. The turkey's internal temperature should stay at 180 degrees, as any temperature below this can result in bacterial growth.
Experts say you should refrigerate leftovers within two hours of preparation. Leaving food out too long creates a prime breeding ground for bacterial growth. When storing your leftovers, separate raw meats, poultry, eggs and seafood into their own containers. Never leave food on the table and insist on heating up leftovers to their proper temperature of 165 degrees. Be sure to throw away food that is cloudy or mushy or food with an unusual odor. Also dispose of food that is from a leaking can or food that changes appearance, color and/or shape over a period of time.
For more information on how to keep your family safe from foodborne-illness this holiday season please visit http://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ and http://www.fda.gov/Food/default.htm. If you experience a foodborne-illness please report it to your local county health department or file an online complaint at http://www.floridahealth.gov/diseases-and-conditions/food-and-waterborne-disease/online-food-complaint-form.html

Oct-07-08 Court Again Validates COAH
Court Again Validates COAH
Denies Motion to Stay December 31st Deadline For Municipalities To Submit 3rd Round Plans
TRENTON – Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria issued the following statement today regarding the Appellate Division of the Superior Court's ruling that denied a motion by the New Jersey League of Municipalities to stay COAH's December 31st deadline for municipalities to submit their third round affordable housing plans. Additionally, the Court denied a request that a special master be charged with facilitating affordable housing in New Jersey. This marks the second time in two weeks that a request for a special master has been denied by the Court.
"By denying a stay of the December 31st deadline, the Court has not only validated COAH but also paved the way, yet again, for us to move forward in our efforts to provide New Jersey residents with the affordable housing opportunities they need," said Commissioner Doria. "As they did two weeks ago, the Court has shown they do not favor a Special Master be appointed to enforce the Fair Housing Act. Again, I express my sincere hope that all of the interested stakeholders, including the municipalities, the housing advocates, the developers and the state agencies, can now come together and work towards accomplishing both our moral and Constitutional obligation to provide affordable housing for the citizens of our state."
The Court's decisions validate the open and transparent process that COAH developed as a result of a January 2007 Appellate Court ruling that overturned COAH's first set of third round regulations.
COAH, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, facilitates the production of sound, affordable housing for low and moderate income households by providing the most effective process to municipalities, housing providers, nonprofit and for profit developers to address a constitutional obligation within the framework of sound, comprehensive planning.
Further information on COAH's revised rules is available by logging on to http://www.nj.gov/dca/affiliates/coah/.

Vail building permits up slightly
Vail, CO Colorado
VAIL, Colorado – Third quarter building permits issued by the town of Vail were up slightly in 2012 compared to 2011, according to statistics released by the Community Development Department. There were 210 building permits issued during the third quarter this year compared to 207 issued for the same period a year ago. Year-to-date, the number of building permits has totaled 448 in 2012, down 10 percent compared to 497 recorded for the three quarters in 2011.
While valuations and fees collected for the third quarter were down from 2011, year to date figures are running ahead of 2011 with $63 million in building valuation recorded compared to $51 million for the same period in 2011. Year-to-date building fees collected are over $2.1 million, up nearly 30 percent from the same period in 2011 when $1.6 million was collected. Much of the increase in building permit valuation and fees collected is attributed to the 17 building permits issued for new single family or duplex homes thus far in 2012.
The department has processed 497 design review and planning applications for the first three quarters of 2012, down slightly from the 555 applications recorded for the same period a year ago.
Overall, Community Development Director George Ruther says the building permit and planning valuation increases reflect the upward trend in real estate activity in Vail.
The Community Development Department continues to make improvements to the development review process for increased efficiency, officials said in a press release. Seven building permit types, such as residential re-roofs and window replacements, may now be applied for and issued over-the-counter while a customer waits.-

Wisconsin foodies hope to revive interest in Beaver Dam pepper
Food enthusiasts are holding a weeks-long celebration of a hot pepper that they say is one of Wisconsin's endangered foods.
The Beaver Dam pepper will be showcased in cooking demonstrations, on Milwaukee restaurant menus and at other events in September as the nonprofit Slow Food, and farmers and chefs working with it, aim to draw attention to what they say is one of thousands of forgotten vegetable varieties threatened with extinction.
Many of the vegetables fell out of favor as farmers and gardeners focused on hybrids bred to produce more while requiring less care. The Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity estimates 300,000 vegetable varieties have been lost over the past century.
"Each of those losses is the loss of a family's story," said Jennifer Casey, Slow Food Wisconsin Southeast's leader of biodiversity efforts.
Casey is among those working to revive interest in the Beaver Dam pepper. Brought to the Wisconsin community of the same name in 1912 by a Hungarian immigrant named Joe Hussli, the pepper's attraction is a sweet-yet-spicy flavor.
"There's heat in the back, but the first thing you taste is a sweet chili taste," said David Kozlowski, who grows the pepper on his farm south of Milwaukee.
The pepper can be tricky to grow, though. Some gardeners say it requires a trellis or some other support or the 9-inch long peppers will pull over the plant. Kozlowski's wife, Sandy Raduenz, said the Beaver Dam often produces fewer peppers than other varieties, which can make it a poor bet for farmers.
"In a warm, dry year, it will really produce," she said. "In a normal year, well a normal year for us, when you get the cool mornings and damp, it doesn't do as well."
Seed banks consider varieties like the Beaver Dam important because they can carry valuable genetic traits, such as heat tolerance.
Slow Food also considers them culturally important. Its Ark of Taste program finds farmers to grow forgotten vegetable varieties and raise endangered livestock species and works with chefs and food companies to popularize them. It has more than 1,200 foods listed in its catalog and hopes to bring that number to 10,000 in the next four years.
Slow Food Wisconsin Southeast held its first Beaver Dam pepper celebration last year at the urging of Lee Greene, the founder of Scrumptious Pantry, a Chicago company that uses heirloom vegetables in its products. She sells pickled Beaver Dam peppers, which she recommends in grilled cheese sandwiches.
"It cuts through the richness of the cheese," Greene said. She described the pepper as having "a really nice, mildly spicy flavor profile. So it starts out mild, but the heat builds up."
The chapter expanded its effort this year with a "grow out," in which it ordered seeds, had a Milwaukee nursery start them and then gave or sold seedlings to area gardeners.
Wisconsin farms are growing the Beaver Dam pepper as well, and the results will be seen - and eaten - during the celebration that starts Saturday with a cooking demonstration at the South Shore Farmers Market in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood. Other events are scheduled as well, and the celebration culminates on Sept. 21, when more than a half-dozen Milwaukee restaurants will serve dishes featuring the pepper.
"I think, traditionally, it was used in things like Hungarian goulashes, and one of the things the Hussli family was famous for was slicing it and just putting it on sandwiches," said Casey, who grows the pepper and uses it in everything from pickles to quiches, soups and stews.
Greene has organized a similar restaurant event with some Chicago restaurants from Sept. 19-22. She said while anyone can nominate new foods for Ark of Taste preservation, the most important criteria is taste.
"You can't force consumers to eat a product just because you want to keep it around," she said.

Nigeria attacks kill 13 vigilantes, 5 sect members
An attack by suspected Islamic sect members on a town guarded by a vigilante group in northeast Nigeria on Sunday killed at least 18 people and injured 17, residents and a government official said.
The attack in Benisheik, 72 kilometers (45 miles) west of Maiduguri, the birthplace of the Boko Haram network, took place days after the military said it killed at least 50 insurgents in an area to the north.
Zannah Fannami, a 27-year-old operative with the Civilian Joint Task Force vigilante group, said its members were attacked while awaiting Boko Haram's approach on the town.
"We heard that they would be coming since Friday and had been keeping vigil all nights," he said from the University of Maiduguri hospital while being treated for a bullet to his right thigh. Late Saturday night, "when we least expected it, we heard a thunderous sound like that of a bomb coming from the direction of a soldiers' post, then we decided to advance toward the sound and the Boko Haram gunmen, carrying sophisticated arms, opened fire on us, killing 12 of our members."
He said the vigilante group, which formed to fight the Boko Haram network, was able to kill five of the Islamic sect members and take possession of four AK-47 rifles.
Another injured Civilian-JTF operative, 32-year-old Muhammed Abuwar, said: "The military had agreed to watch and lay in ambush with us against the Boko Haram, but when the attackers came, none of them came over to assist us. Most of the Boko Haram shooters were shooting from atop trees."
The military has agreed to support any missions by the Civilian-JTF until its newest 7th Division fully formed to fight Boko Haram is fully functional.
The spokesman for that division, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa, said that brigade troops were sent to the area and "the attack was repelled." Troops are still searching for fleeing insurgents, he said.
"Information available to 7th Division of the Nigeria army revealed that at about 12:30 a.m. suspected members of Boko Haram terrorists deceptively attacked the youth vigilantes at Benisheik," he said. The spokesman confirmed five Boko Haram members were killed, but put the vigilante death toll at six.
The road leading toward Maiduguri was barricaded until the road was cleared, he said, adding: "Normalcy has been returned to the area."
A top Borno state government labor adviser, Garba Ngamdu, who also hails from Benisheik, said one of vigilante members had died in the hospital as doctors tried to remove bullets from his body.
He also confirmed the death of the five Boko Haram members at the hands of vigilante members with machetes and said their dead bodies still lay on the outskirts of the town.
Benisheik is a scanty linear settlement of staple crop farmers of not more than 1,000 houses, mostly made of mud.
There has been a rash of attacks by suspected sect members in northeast Nigeria recently, after young vigilantes formed the Civilian-JTF in June, taking over the search for the insurgents. The vigilante force claims credit for thousands of arrests in Maiduguri and many killings.

This proverb is usually said as an encouragement
to a person who is overcome by some difficulty
and is unable to see any positive way forward.
John Milton coined the phrase 'silver lining' in Comus: A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634
I see ye visibly, and now believe
That he, the Supreme Good, to whom all things ill
Are but as slavish officers of vengeance,
Would send a glistering guardian, if need were
To keep my life and honour unassailed.
Was I deceived, or did a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night?
I did not err; there does a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night,
And casts a gleam over this tufted grove.
'Clouds' and 'silver linings' were referred to often in literature from then onward, usually citing Milton and frequently referring to them as Milton's clouds. It isn't until the days of the uplifting language of Victorian England that people began to hear the proverbial form that we are now familiar with - 'every cloud has a silver lining'.
The first occurrence that is unequivocally expressing that notion comes in The Dublin Magazine, Volume 1, 1840, in a review of the novel Marian; or, a Young Maid's Fortunes, by Mrs S. Hall, which was published in 1840:-
As Katty Macane has it, "there's a silver lining to every cloud that sails about the heavens if we could only see it."
'There's a silver lining to every cloud' was the form that the proverb was usually expressed in the Victorian era. The currently used 'every cloud has a silver lining' did appear, in another literary review, in 1849. The New monthly belle assemblée, Volume 31 include what purported to be a quotation from Mrs Hall's book - "Every cloud has a silver lining", but which didn't in fact appear in Marian, which merely reproduced Milton's original text.
