Now that Spring Training has started, I encourage
those rambunctious West Coasters and all others to post
their pre-season, regular season and post-season
schedules on the calendar. I'd like to coordinate chats
after these events. I'd also like to request that
someone take pictures of play and submit them to me for
potential inclusion as our Club Photo. Any and all
baseball, corkball or ritual stoning photos can go in
either the Group folder or a personal folder of each
member's creation in the Photos section. <br><br>How to
turn a regular photo into a digitized image suitable
to post:<br><br>Scan the photograph into a computer.
This usually saves these as GIFs or PIFs, which,
although postable, take a really long time to download or
upload. If you then transfer these files to a media
player, you can convert them into MPs, which have greater
definition and upload and download much faster. After this,
either e-mail me the photos or post them straight to the
Group Photos folder. <br><br>p.s. - techno djs and
guacamole are not how one traditionally celebrates Mardi
Gras! :)<br><br>Keep throwing and growing! I may see
you crazies in the last week of April, but who
knows...<br><br><br>John "Coleridge"
