Run around the bases yelling and screaming and celebrate with your teammates at home plate and in the dugout. The MLB App is the 1 destination for live baseball video and audio, directly on your iOS device. Hitting a home run in a key situation deserves the right to express fun. I’m not against players expressing their joy during a game. This may have been because Bautista came in hard trying to break up a double play and not in retaliation after his bat flip heard around the world. Joey Bats got what was coming to him when Roughned Odor landed a right jab in a game the following year. It’s almost as if this has stopped, and pitchers are allowing hitters to get away with such nonsense. If you do show up another player, the opposing pitcher has every right to aim for your midsection the next time you step in the batter’s box. I’ve never seen a list of baseball’s unwritten rules, though surely this is within the first few pages. First Alex Bregman pulled the stunt (on a pitch which was allegedly tipped by Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg) and then Juan Soto does the same because “it looked like fun.” All of this on the game’s biggest stage, Game 6 of the World Series. The bat flips have evolved to the carrying of the bat all the way to first base. ![]() Not only is it disrespectful to the pitcher, but the act is also desecrating to the game itself. This is the definition of showing a pitcher up, is it not? And as a society we have glamorized it to the point it is done way too often.

“But Jim, we need to speak out against abuses so that we don’t allow this country to become taken over by a Hitler/Stalin/Mussolini.” “We need to hold people accountable and make sure things are right.” Problem is, we can’t agree on right. I could strongly disagree with their policies or some of the things they said, but it was my understanding that they were still a leader that I was to respect (even when they did disrespectful things). But guess what, they were still my Leader, Senator, Congressman or President. I’ve voted for local leaders, state leaders, senators and congressmen but I haven’t always had “my candidate” win. I have voted in 7 Presidential Elections (might have been 6 – it’s early as I type this) and my candidates haven’t always been elected. It is the expectation and it is the rule. It is en vogue to promote the failures of others and it is expected that we smear someone’s face in that failure and that we rejoice in their just desserts. Rather than looking for positive things to say, it is expected that we not only looking for negative, but we actively seek it out. It seems that as I’ve gotten older, we are teaching a very different lesson. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nuthin at all” as the little bunny from Bambi would say. When I was little, I was taught by my mom, dad, grandparents, uncles and aunts, teachers, pastors, practically everyone, to show respect. What does all this have in common? Well, to put it mildly, disrespect. While others, on my same feed, joined in the chorus of bemoaning the president-elect, calling him an “idiot” and other less-than-respectful terms. There were a few on my Social Feed who immediately defended the president from those “wacko” Hollywood clowns. In her speech, she spoke out for the disabled – a worthy cause indeed – but she did so in a way to embarrass the new president-elect. One actress, the incomparable, Meryl Streep, received a lifetime achievement award. Actors/Actresses gave thanks to parents, spouses, kids, co-workers, and God as they received their little golden statue. I heard that these same players are given all kinds of luxuries and that they also need to be paid because they are being “taken advantage of.”įinally, a cross over between the Golden Globes and our President-elect. I heard football players called heroes and over-privileged goons. In the days prior, I heard both coaches called geniuses and arrogant morons. I don’t know much about Clemson, other than their team wears Orange and Blue and their coach has a funny name. After living in Alabama for nearly 2 years, I have first hand knowledge of that team and their fans. As an SEC fan, I am committed to despise every other team in my conference (though I will always root for them during bowl games). The second topic was the College National Championship game between Clemson and Alabama. I watched a clip of her, fighting tears, to apologize for messing up. She was accused of “hurting people” by her words. People said she had disrespected the actors and those who worked on one film. ![]() But apparently enough people spoke up about because the next morning, Bush had to offer a public apology for her misstep. I’ve seen the video, Pharrell stumbled in response and the interview went on – it was a little awkward, but obviously it was a misstep by Bush. During the interview, she misspoke and mixed up titles with another movie. ![]() At one point on the famous red carpet, NBC correspondent Jenna Bush was interviewing the artist Pharrell about a movie he was actively involved in. Statues were given in recognition of work in film and it was a star-studded affair. But for some reason, today I read them and as I did I noticed in all the stories a recurring theme. Normally, I wouldn’t really give much attention too any of them. These are currently the 3 primary mentions on my social media feed. National Championship Game involving Alabama and Clemson The golden globes – awards for people who make moviesĢ. ![]() If you need to make changes – for example, correcting a very under (or over) exposed image – then you’ll start to lose quality. This is OK in many cases as the human eye can’t actually see all the 16.7 million colors these types of images have. However, you can convert JPEG to RAW with the help of specialized software. When you open them in Photoshop or any other editing software, they’ll stay in 8-bit mode.Įven if you change the workspace to 16 or 32-bit mode, there won’t be any extra information to work with. Let’s see what the difference is and when you should use each one.Īs I mentioned before, JPEG photos are 8-bit images. ![]() In Photoshop, you can choose to work in 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit and this will determine how extreme you can make your edits before you lose quality or get artifacts like banding. Then, you have to consider how you want to edit your images. So, that’s the first thing that’s influenced by bit depth. When you’re photographing, you can choose between shooting in JPEG, which generates 8-bit images, or RAW, which will give you images from 12 to 14 bits depending on the camera that you’re using. So, what does that mean to you in real life photography? If you then multiply it by three channels… well, you get the idea. That means 281 trillion colors.Ī 32-bit image has 4294967296 tonal values, and let me tell you, I don’t even know how to read that. That equals 16.7 million colors.Ī 16-bit image has 65,536 tonal values in the same three channels. Instead, it can hold 256 tonal values in three different channels (red, green, and blue). ![]() So, an 8-bit image doesn’t have 8 colors. When you add more information to it, the color depth grows exponentially. There aren’t any tonal values in between and there are no other colors. Now, a one-bit image can only be black and white because 1 bit can only be black if it’s a 1 or white if it’s a 0. Digital information is stored as either 1s or 0s. ![]() The Korean square keyboard stickers which cover the key completely are my least favorite ones, as cute as their design may be.

In 1994, the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club was created by a group of breeders to apply for recognition by the American Kennel Club. Lyon Brown who, together with Elizabeth Spalding and other enthusiasts, founded the Cavalier King Charles Club USA that continues to the present day. The first recorded Cavalier living in the United States was brought from the United Kingdom in 1956 by W. And in 1945, the Kennel Club first recognised the breed in its own right as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Following the war, few dogs survived as the new beginning from which all present-day Cavaliers descend. For instance, in the Ttiweh Cavalier Kennel, the population of 60 dogs dropped to three during the 1940s. The Second World War caused a drastic setback to the emerging breed, with the vast majority of breeding stock destroyed because of wartime hardship and food shortages. The first standard was created, based on a dog named "Ann's Son" owned by Mostyn Walker, and the Kennel Club recognised the variety as "King Charles Spaniels, Cavalier type". Eldridge died before seeing his plan come to fruition, but several breeders believed in what he said and in 1928 the first Cavalier club was formed. In 1926, the American Roswell Eldridge offered a dog show class prize of 25 pounds of sterling silver each as a prize for the best male and females of "Blenheim Spaniels of the old type, as shown in pictures of Charles II of England's time, long face, no stop, flat skull, not inclined to be domed, with spot in centre of skull."
