Shatel: Sad, lonely shell on the hill
Grant Gibbs approached Court 2 at the Omaha Sports Academy on Thursday night, a shiny smile on the Creighton junior-to-be’s face. He exchanged hellos and handshakes with some buddies before his Metro Summer League basketball game. Even came over to say hey to a reporter. When asked if he was ready to roll, Gibbs’ expression only grew...Anybody seen our old friend?
On the Thursday before the College World Series, there was an eerie silence on 13th Street, south of Interstate 80. Every year, since 1950, this street has been the place to be this time of year. Every year, this was the center of our universe.
But this year, two days before first pitch, there's no traffic on this street besides a car or two. There are no tents, no vendors, no T-shirts. The sidewalks are empty.
Over at Zesto, there's nobody standing in line at the window.
Down at Starsky's, the marquee sign promises beer specials this week. But will anybody show up?
Finally, shockingly, you see our old friend, Rosenblatt Stadium, sitting glumly atop the hill.
Our old friend isn't doing so well. Our old friend looks like she could use a hug.
Since 1950, Rosenblatt Stadium stood on this hill like a magical castle this time of year. Now, two days before the CWS, she looks like an abandoned house.
Almost abandoned. Inside, workers prepare items for next week's Rosenblatt Stadium auction. And then there's the two South Carolina fans who sneaked in to take a look around where their Gamecocks made history just one year ago.
They are shooed away by Calvin Sisson, executive director of the Omaha Zoo Foundation, who tells them that the stadium is not open. Sisson says it's not safe in there.
Darned right it's not safe. You can get your memories crushed in there.
It's sad. It's lonely. It's apocalyptic. Like something out of a “Mad Max” movie.
Remember that green grass, the most beautiful grass you'd ever seen? That was the first thing you noticed when you walked into Rosenblatt: the wonderful green lawn, cut like a painting.
Green has been replaced by brown. There's some green left, but it's a faded water color. But the worst part is the height. It's up past your ankles in places, up to your calves in others. It's a junkyard grass, with splotches of sand and holes here and there. It looks like the yard of the house that went up for sale a year ago and was forgotten about.
Weeds sprout up through the dirt that wrapped around the inside of the stadium, on the warning track and in front of the dugouts.
When You Walk Through A Storm - News
So you can't walk around inside. But you can show up at 9 am next Wednesday at Rosenblatt (or go online at rosenblattauction.com at that time) and bid for just about anything you want. Including the soap dispenser that Omaha Storm Chasers manager Mike
They often know a storm is coming before we do.” So pay attention to the weather, and to your dog's behavior. If there are reports of a storm coming through, and your dog begins to exhibit nervousness, then keep him inside with you.

"Everybody goes through the same things. You go through 40 miles of bumpy road to get to a smooth one, go through the storm before the clearing," Ely said. "This is kind of a celebration of spending my life playing music with my friends,

iA Writer: Simple, Beautiful Text Editing On Your Mac | Mac.AppStorm
What it DoesWell, actually, this won’t take very long. That’s because iA Writer has been deliberately pared down to the essentials. It saves your writing in plain text, so there are no formatting controls or layout features to think about. So that means no agonizing over what font to use, no time-wasting about anything to do with how your text will look on the printed page. In fact, the app doesn’t even have a Preferences menu, so there’s absolutely nothing to adjust or fine-tune.
In fact, there’s really only one thing you can adjust in iA Writer: whether or not you’re in Focus Mode. With Focus off, your text fills the screen.
In Focus Mode you can use [CMD]+[arrow keys] to jump backwards and forwards between sentences and quickly jump through your document.
If you want to add some basic formatting – headers, italics, bold, lists – you can do so using the popular Markdown syntax. This is decidedly not WYSIWYG editing, but it does allow you to prepare texts that other apps can convert into formatted pages.
Nice touchesiA Writer is a very nicely designed app, full of thoughtful and effective little touches. Colours and fonts are well considered, so your text is easily legible onscreen. Rather than ordinary white, the background is eye-savingly slightly-off-white, with a subtle paper-like texture. And that blue cursor – well, I find it lovely.
I believe Writeroom was the first of the lot. It aims at the same end, but gives you a lot more control over how the app looks, and various other things – from adjusting text and background colours to changing the default document encoding.
All these things are useful, but the truth is that I set things as I wanted them a long time ago, and haven’t made any changes since then. And even with that fine-tuning, I far prefer the appearance of iA Writer. What I do miss, though, in switching from Writeroom is realtime spell-checking – I hope that iA Writer might add this feature in the future.
ConclusionI think the difference between these apps points to an interesting observation about freedom and constraint. Writeroom gives you enough power and control to be able to set things up more-or-less exactly as you want them (though you can’t get a subtly textured background, sorry). iA Writer, by contrast, gives you no control – in fact, rather, it takes away options. In a sense, then, Writeroom offers freedom and choice (within the limitations of a full-screen, distraction-limiting writing app), where iA Writer imposes limitations. And yet, I for one will be choosing to use Writer from here on – and I expect many will agree and do the same. Well-considered constraints and limitations occasionally win out over power and freedom.
