I live by a couple of really nifty hills where it's absolutely unsafe to deviate over the center line at all. So in this case, I'm talking about the more extreme type of situation. Also, it's not practical for all types of bicycles to use the gravel shoulder. So, basically, ya gotta stay behind the bike. If there's a reasonable line of vision to get around a bicycle, I'll do it. I'm not sure how legal that is, though. Passing on the right on a two lane road is absolutely illegal unless there's 'lane' created for that purpose. You have to wait or risk a ticket.

I'm extremely patient with pedestrians, bicycles, and buggies. What worries me is the drivers that aren't patient and think it's absolutely fine to pass a bike or buggy in a no-passing zone. While I might jog to get out of a crosswalk more quickly, I wouldn't expect anyone else to do it.

Cell phones have made my list of gripes (again). A friend pulled into the driveway to ask me a favor. I stood by her car and waited five minutes for her to get off the phone (again). Last week, I was in a restaurant where the sign at the entrance specifically said, 'no cell phones'. Of course, a guy's loud ringtone reverberated through the restaurant and he carried on his conversation with the loudest voice in the room. That place was so small that he could have easily set his phone to vibrate and walked the five steps outside to talk. This last gripe is three years old, but it still bugs me. We were sitting in a restaurant while people were collectively carrying on a conversation on a speakerphone they had sitting between them on the table. They may as well have brought a boom box. I asked a restaurant manager friend what she'd do if someone pulled the speakerphone stunt. She said she'd either turn the house music up (to make it more difficult to talk on the thing) or turn the house music down (so everyone could listen in).

If you're not getting a message to post in Safari, it has to do with a 'push' by Yuku on Friday night. The problem has been pinpointed and should be fixed today. In the meantime, if you don't wish to use an alternative browser, the Quick Reply feature works. Safari users cannot start new topics or "add reply."

imblotto, I wouldn't know how to search for this either. On one hand, I want to concur with bsglorydays and guess that we're not approaching a record, but on the other hand, it does seem like this has happened an awful lot.

OBP SLG OPS vs LHP .350 .400 .750 vs RHP .300 .350 .650 This one uses the code bbcode directly in the editor (no HTML view). It's the same as the tags above. Close up the spaces: [ code ]something [/ code ] From examining the HTML in other posts, the problem appears to be that Yuku forces s to double-space... usually.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">OBP</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SLG</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">OPS</span> vs LHP .350 .400 .750 vs RHP .300 .350 .650 I pasted the information in without s, but the editor puts them in anyway. If I remove them in the HTML view, I get one long line. The one above, with the double-spacing throughout, is what I typically get. But 'typically' is the operative word. Sometimes it's different. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[u]OBP[/u] [u]SLG[/u] [u]OPS[/u] vs LHP .350 .400 .750 vs RHP .300 .350 .650 This is what you get when you remove the font sizing.

<font size="4"> [u]OBP[/u] [u]SLG[/u] [u]OPS[/u] vs LHP .350 .400 .750 vs RHP .300 .350 .650 </font> It seems to be working better with the tags: But now, the line skipping issue is popping up.

There's an issue with the charts wanting to double-space themselves. I'm going to get some examples to Kristen when I get around to it. You can also use the HTML tags. Whether it's or , use the HTML view to place the tags, switch back to normal view, then edit away. Pasting either of these into the HTML should work as well as anything: xx or xx. After returning to the normal editor view, replace xx with whatever you need.

This discussion should be taking place in Lambeauleap's College Football Forum.

Before Casey was switched to the kidney diet, he was eating a senior food that was extremely high in protein. That might be something to look into. As was mentioned above, a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement is something you can start on your own. If you get her going on that now, it should be helping before the cold weather kicks in. The vet may be willing to prescribe something like Rimadyl without actually seeing the dog. I was using that with Casey on as 'as needed' basis before he went on a regular medication routine. Rimadyl and Metacam are both hard on the kidneys, though, when used regularly. But we were at a point where it was pretty apparent that his kidneys would outlast his hips. I believe you can also try Tylenol. That also has kidney/liver affects, though. If you consider this, make sure you check to make sure Tylenol is the right thing. I always lose track of Tylenol vs. aspirin vs. Ibuprofen stuff.

I'm curious to see how things have gone for RoCo and if danzig6767 got any satisfaction from the vet who screwed up.

I tried to find a picture of Bob Burda, the only other Brewer player to wear number 19. The problem was that he was acquired in June, 1970, and traded in February, 1971. That's not good timing for producing a baseball card in a Brewers uniform. I could find pictures of him as a Giant, but that wouldn't have been right. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

HH, I think a statistician will tell you that 'regression' works in both directions, and thus, there's no need to bother with having to say 'progression' to the mean. In other words, 'regression' simply means to move toward the mean; you can 'regress' toward a better number or 'regress' toward a worse number. Of course, that's different than the 'every-day' definition of regression. lumberrule, Ennder is correct when he says 162 game samples have accuracy issues. You really need about three full seasons for statistics to be able to stand on their own. That's one reason why splits can break pretty badly; it can take much more than three seasons to get a reasonably useful sample to tell how a guy's going to perform vs. lefties, for instance. That doesn't exclude bringing in other information to help get some meaning out of smaller samples. As an example, Prince struck out an awful lot of times in his first two games of the 2005 season. Statistically, that's meaningless. However, the numerous observations from people saying, "he didn't have that lousy approach in spring training," filled in some important blanks.

The bad news is that the Cubs signed a good pitcher. The good news (as others have mentioned) is that there's a comparable for a potential Sheets signing. It certainly makes sense that Ben's next contract--if signed in the foreseeable future, of course--would fall in somewhere under Zambrano's.

Here's the pertinent stuff from Brady's Rotoworld page: http://www.rotoworld.com/images/left_corner_player_news.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/teamlogos/Mlb_sm/SD.gif Brady Clark-OF- Padres Aug. 16 - 11:50 pm et http://www.rotoworld.com/images/right_corner_player_news.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif Padres signed outfielder Brady Clark to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Portland. It was assumed Clark would sign with San Diego immediately after he was cut by the Dodgers in June, but he sat out a month instead and then spent a week in Boston's minor league system. The Padres will probably call him up to act as a reserve in September. http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/left_corner_bt_player_news.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/right_corner_bt_player_news.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/left_corner_player_news.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/teamlogos/Mlb_sm/SD.gif Brady Clark-OF- Padres Aug. 6 - 8:40 am et http://www.rotoworld.com/images/right_corner_player_news.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif http://www.rotoworld.com/images/pixel.gif Signed to a minor league contract last month, Brady Clark has reportedly left the Red Sox organization. According to the Boston Herald, Clark was frustrated by the Red Sox's "pursuit of other outfield options, such as free agent Bobby Kielty." Had he not left the organization, it's possible that Boston would have called Clark up instead of Brandon Moss this week. Source: Boston Herald

The public story on Thomas was that newly hired George Bamberger wanted him back. I believe Gorman's K totals held him back in previous seasons and Bamberger decided he didn't care about that. I'm also wondering exactly when Harry Dalton was hired. As the Alex Grammas / Jim Baumer firings occurred unusually late in the off-season, Thomas could have initially been sent to the Rangers by Baumer. I bet hawing could find those dates. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

This is vent thread material. Also, please note site rules about excessive punctuation in thread titles (?????).

Tell ya what... if you want to discuss the rules further, let's take the subject to PMs or the Issues Forum. I must say, though, that like them or not, you certainly seem to have a firm grasp of the rules. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

When the rules refer to a mature posting environment, they're referring to acting like adults rather than posting adult content. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Also note that when the cuss filter produces something like "$*++%," it's the responsibility of the poster to edit it out and replace it with appropriate language. This post gets a 'break' because: It directly quoted another message. The word in question was just added to the cuss filter a couple of hours ago.

"You make me sick" and "bad fan" comments are certainly something Brewerfan doesn't want on its forums. "You make me sick" is a definite violation of condescension rules (most likely a strike violation), and calling a member a "bad fan" is a probable violation.
