Yair Shalev Pine Tar

In what has come to be known as “the Pine Tar Incident”, umpires discovered illegal placement of pine tar (more than 18 inches up the handle) on third baseman George Brett’s bat after he had hit a two-run home run off Gossage that put the Royals up 5–4 in the top of the 9th.
After Yankee Manager Billy Martin came out of the dugout to talk to home plate umpire Tim McClelland, McClelland and the other umpires mulled over the bat (measuring it over home plate, touching it, etc.). McClelland then pointed to Brett in the dugout and then gave the out sign, thereby disallowing the home run. George Brett then stormed out of the dugout, angry and hysterical. McClelland ejected Brett. The homer was later reinstated by the AL President and the Royals went on to win after the game was resumed several weeks later. “The Pine Tar Incident” has now become part of baseball lore.

Yair Shalev Temple

As you know I, Yair Shalev share my travel experience in my loving city in simple I am traveler and blogger both. Hopefully you are enjoying my blog. In previous entry I explained my love for Gateway Arch. Today blog entry by Yair Shalev outlines Independence Temple.

The Temple in Independence, Missouri, is a house of worship and education “dedicated to the pursuit of peace”. It dominates the skyline ofIndependence, Missouri, USA, and has become the focal point of the headquarters of the Community of Christ (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). The temple was built by the Community of Christ in response to a revelation presented to their 1984 World Conference by then church prophet-president Wallace B. Smith. This revelation culminated instructions shared over the course of more than 150 years by prior prophet-presidents recognized by the Community of Christ. Groundbreaking for the temple took place Friday 6 April 1990, and the completed structure was dedicated on Sunday 17 April 1994.

Scene Challenge of the Week

Woops... not that kind of shock...

Woops… not that kind of shock…

Welcome to the middle of your week. I got 15 papers graded yesterday, several emails answered, 100ish pages read, a paper written, took my girlfriend out for dinner and ice cream (… well, technically I took her for dinner and then she took me for ice cream), and then watched part of an episode of the walking dead with her, did devotions with her, and spent some time talking. Today I plan to get another 10 papers graded, discussion boards done, another 100ish pages read, attend a class, and spend some quality time with my wonderful lady. So, at the moment I feel like I’m having a pretty productive week. I hope that your week is going as well! Anyway, it’s Wednesday, which means that you get a scene challenge. If you can’t remember the rules, I’ll provide them: I provide you with specific rules for how to write a particular scene.  Try to keep your scene under five hundred words, and try to keep it in the same tone as the introduction.  If I give a line that is very dark and depressing, then I don’t want to see a scene about a drunken monkey in a tutu…it just doesn’t fit.  If I do give you a line about a drunken monkey in a tutu, then you should probably try for a funny scene.

Your rules: You task this week is to write a scene of at least 150 words that is all one sentence. If you’ve been following the blog then you’ve seen this challenge before. Remember to make sure that the scene is grammatically correct, and that it flows well. Again, you might want to give it to a grammar nazi after you finish to make sure that your grammar is solid. Your cue: “I stared at the computer screen in shock…”

Yair Shalev M. Chittenden Locks:

Welcome to Yair Shalev Blog, I hope you will enjoy your journey with me, Yair Shalev. In previous post I explained Seattle Aquarium. Today blog entry by Yair Shalev outlines M. Chittenden Locks.

The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks is a complex of locks that sits at the west end of Salmon Bay, part of Seattle, Washington’s Lake Washington Ship Canal. They are known locally as the Ballard Locks after the neighborhood to the north. (Magnolia lies to the south.)

The locks maintain the water level of the fresh water Lake Washington and Lake Union at 20–22 feet (6.1–6.7 m) above sea level[2][3] (Puget Sound‘s mean low tide) and  prevent the mixing of sea water from Puget Sound with the fresh water of the lakes (saltwater intrusion) and play a mjor role to  move boats from the water level of the lakes to the water level of Puget Sound, and vice versa.

Yair Shalev Mariners

It’s me Yair Shalev behind this blog as you know if you have read my already publish post. If you are new to my blog Let me introduce formally. My name is Yair Shalev and I live in Seattle, WA. I love this city. I am a big fan of Seattle Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners are a professional baseball team based in Seattle, Washington. I, Yair Shalev love this team. Enfranchised in 1977, the Mariners are a member of the Western Division of Major League Baseball’s American League. Safeco Field has been the Mariners’ home ballpark since July 1999. From their 1977 inception until June 1999, the club’s home park was the Kingdome before moving to Safeco Field. The “Mariners” name originates from the prominence of marine culture in the city of Seattle.

The organization did not field a winning team until 1991, and any real success eluded them until 1995 when they won their first division championship and defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series. The game-winning hit in Game 5, in whichEdgar Martínez drove home Ken Griffey, Jr. to win the game in the 11th inning, clinched a series win for the Mariners, and has since become an iconic moment in team history.
