A fine singer with a warm, expressive voice, Helen Merrill's infrequent recordings tend to be quite special with plenty of surprises and chance-taking. She started singing in public in 1944 and was with the Reggie Childs Orchestra during 1946-1947. Merrill, who was married for a period to clarinetist Aaron Sachs, had opportunities to sit in with some of the top modernists of the time, including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Bud Powell. She was with Earl Hines in 1952 and started recording regularly for EmArcy in 1954. Her collaboration with Clifford Brown was her first classic. She made several notable EmArcy albums during 1954-1958 (including one in 1956 that helped bring Gil Evans out of retirement); all have been reissued in a large box. After recording for Atco and Metrojazz in 1959, she moved to Italy for the next four years, touring often in Europe and Japan. Back in the U.S., Merrill teamed with pianist/arranger Dick Katz for a pair of notable and unpredictable Milestone dates (1967-1968) and then moved to Japan where she was quite popular. Helen Merrill returned to the United States in the mid-'70s and has since recorded for Inner City, Owl, EmArcy (including a reunion date with Gil Evans) Antilles, and Verve, which released her 2000 album Jelena Ana Milcetic a.k.a. Helen Merrill. ~ Scott Yanow

We're real people, doing real stuff. And most importantly, we care! We focus on 3 phil&thropic areas because we can make a difference to the lives of people around the world. phil&teds heads love to support authentic, relevant organisations such as The Women's Refuge , Ronald McDonald House around the world, Australia'a St Kilda Mums and 'Changing Lives' in Thailand - read more here!
Our 'chief cook & bottle washer' came up with the idea on an Air NZ flight, when asked to donate to 'Change for Good'. He thought that maybe owners of pre-loved phil&teds or Mountain Buggy products may want to play their part and donate back to us... So in 2009, 'Buggies for Good' was born!
We collect pre-loved buggies from generous gems around the world, then our clever little engineers and service fellas give 'em the once over to make sure they're in good working order. The jazzed-up-beauties are donated to a deserving cause, organisation or charity within the community.
Since launching in 2009, we've housed over 500 buggies.
If you have a request or know an organisation that we could help, please flick us an email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We strongly believe in the selfless work of New Zealand's Surgical Research Trust and their groundbreaking research. A phil&teddy bear is given to each child undergoing surgery at Wellington Hospital, to help to put a smile on their face and to provide a friend for comfort during a scary time. phil&teddy is there to make a child's recovery just that little bit more "bear-able".
After 10 years of building reciprocal business growth relationships in China, phil&teds took the opportunity to deliver back by supporting the Royal New Zealand Ballet's tour of this fantastic country in 2013. At first glance it may seem an unusual sponsorship choice, but phil&teds is well known for a 'business as un-usual' mantra, and decisions such as this are never without sound motive. "There's so much to this," says chief cook & bottle washer, Campbell Gower. "We've long bridled at the perception that
China is an unsophisticated 'factory for the world'. It's a country with a tremendous cultural history, and a currency of high performance business."
"At phil&teds we've built a high performance culture benchmarked daily against tough international competition. You gotta be the best! And we like to think that mirrors Royal New Zealand Ballet. So we want to celebrate the innovation, performance culture and abundant creativity of the Company, and it's truly thrilling to see that reflected in Chinese media," says Gower.
Did you know that phil&teds' very own chief cook & bottle washer donates a massive $25K a year to the NZ Surgical Research Trust? Pretty generous right? But wait, there's more...
Did you know that in the last 3 years, phil&teddy bears has made surgery that little bit more 'bearable' for over 5,000 little people within New Zealand?
Did you know that throughout 2012 and 2013, we refurbished and delivered over 300 buggies globally under our 'Buggies for Good' initiative? And that every one we send out, or collect from a generous gem in NZ, is free of charge thanks to the support of Peter Baker Transport ?
Did you know that throughout 2012 and 2013, we've had over 55 donations?! Which means organisations, fundraisers and community projects are now able to support their cause more easily, thanks to phil&teds and Mountain Buggy generous gems!

About Mercedes Benz CLK550

I love what you've done here-- but you're right, overdoing it in the wrong way can make you look like Jerseylicious.

I had some Leopard ballet flats that I wore hole through last fall! I need a new pair, b/c they juchzed up everything I wore them with!

RIP Stan Musial

RIP Stan MusialHe retired long before I was old enough to follow sports, but what a legend.
A nice quote from CNN's site: "Wrote Jason Lukehart, on Twitter: 'In a week that's shown the dangers deifying athletes, Stan Musial's death reminds me that once in a great while, there's a man worthy of it.'" For those who like numbers, he provided a lot to marvel at: http://www.baseball-reference.com/playe ... st01.shtml
Re: RIP Stan MusialHe was my first athletic idol as a boy. Even though I lived in NY, I was a fanatic St. Louis Cardinal fan. In 1957 I kept a scrapbook, with newspaper clippings, boxscores, and my own writeups of all 154 games !
I still remember one time, at about age 12, when I did something very bad ( swearing in a neighbor's yard so that they called my parents ) my father sat me down for a long chat, and he said to me, " Do you think Stan Musial would talk like that ? " It hit home !
Re: RIP Stan MusialI never knew anything (or cared) about his character or personality. I just knew that even though I never rooted for the Cardinals, I always enjoyed watching him swing a bat, so often with undesirable results for the team I was rooting for. He was an amazing hitter. RIP.
Re: RIP Stan MusialHe's arguably the most underrated and overlooked player in the history of baseball. If he had only played in New York . . . . .
Re: RIP Stan Musial
True . . . if you were an East-coaster. But for anyone west of the Allegheny mountains who followed baseball, not so true.
Re: RIP Stan Musial
Definitely not true. In the Midwest, one of the biggest names, even long after he retired. It was probably because of comparison with Musial that Santo had such a hard time getting into the HoF.
Re: RIP Stan MusialAnd his famous nickname, " Stan The Man," was bestowed upon him by the NY/Brooklyn sportswriters after he continually hammered the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. Golly I loved going to that ballpark. Polo Grounds too. Both had unique characteristics.
Re: RIP Stan Musial
I think you got dj's analysis backwards
Re: RIP Stan Musial
Perhaps my phrasing was wrong but I was agreeing with dj, who contradicting the assertion that Musial was underrated and overlooked. Anyways, Musial was well known in Chicago long after he retired. As for NY? Who cares...
Re: RIP Stan MusialAll class, a genuine nice man. He hit a home run in the first game I ever attended.
Re: RIP Stan Musial
The Man was so good that he has two statues of hisself outside of Busch Stadium. RIP, Stan.
Re: RIP Stan Musialloved his distinctive stance at the plate.
Re: RIP Stan MusialOn every Little League team I played on, I always asked for, and usually was given, # 6 .
Re: RIP Stan MusialI was an LA Dodger fan (did not know/care about pro baseball until 1959); he was one player I always feared from the opposition, even though his last four-five years were not so strong (except age 41 when he hit .330).
Re: RIP Stan MusialI was able to breeze through his 2011 bio in about 45 min's. Not a whole lot of drama there (fine with me). He did have a lifelong feud with Joe Garagiola if you are looking for any controversy at all. He just hit (never saw him play).
Re: RIP Stan Musial
Even for right-handed kids, Musial's was the first batting stance you had to mimic well if you were going to be a stance model. The other distinctive stances of the day were Ernie Banks, Frank Robinson, Jim Lemon (yeah, I know, few have heard of him), and later, Pete Rose. Mantle's was somewhat similar to Musial's, although much more upright at the knees and a little more upright at the waist. But there was enough of a torque in the torso that the pitcher could see the entire #7 on his back, and that was the part of the Musial stance. With Mantle growing up in Oklahoma in the '40s (Musial at his best) I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of copying going on, although I've never heard of it.
Re: RIP Stan Musial
Ebbets Field was made for Musial. I don't know what his lifetime average was there, but it must have been very high.
Re: RIP Stan MusialHe hit .356 at Ebbets, vs. an overall career average of .331
http://thehitters.com/profile.asp?i=1100&e=1 Also, he had 1815 hits at home and 1815 on the road.
Re: RIP Stan MusialYes, his was the most distinctive stance. Less so, but very distinctive from the mid-50s was Lopata, Campanella, and Robinson. Lopata's was a crouch more pronounced than Pete Roses'. Campy was the most open stance imaginable. Robinson had the bat way up high, almost like a samurai warrior.
Re: RIP Stan Musial
Story in my local the other day said it was because the Ebbets fans were so in awe of him that they chanted "Stan The Man"
Re: RIP Stan MusialThe first MLB game I ever attended as a young kid was when my granddad took my dad and me to see the Mets play the Cardinals (Bob Gibson pitching) at the Polo Grounds in 1962. Musial hit three home runs as the Cardinals won 15-1. I vividly recall that when the Cardinals lineup was announced every Cardinal was booed until Musial who got a loud round of applause.
Re: RIP Stan Musial
...but nobody had a stance like Wes Covington.
Re: RIP Stan Musial
Good point. The only person to hit a ball over the Longines clock atop the 50-foot tall right field scoreboard at Connie Mack.
Re: RIP Stan MusialThere were also Carl Yaz w/ the bat cocked high (every kid in New England aped that one, as did his OF mate Reggie Smith), and wide open Dick McAuliffe. Tony Oliva, Rico Carty (and to a lesser extent Clemente), the Afro-Latin batsmen w/ their rear foot stradding the back chalk line of the batter's box.
Re: RIP Stan Musialback when it was a badge of shame to walk:
<<Eighteen strikeouts. Pat Burrell had that many in the 2010 NLCS and World Series. Adam Dunn had that many in his first 10 games last season. Jack Cust had that many over a stretch of 26 at-bats in 2008. Reggie Jackson? He'd strike out 18 times in one nap. On the other hand, Stan Musial struck out 18 times in 1943.....>> Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/sports/shea/artic ... z2JOqi4Eeq
Re: RIP Stan Musial
Good stuff, but 1943 was before Musial had developed a power stroke and, as indicated above, strikeouts are often the flip side of homeruns. Musial had only 18 strikeouts in '43, but he also had only 13 home runs. It wasn't until five years later when Musial first hit 30 homeruns and went on a run of six 30-homer years in an eight year span. On the other hand, the season best for having more home runs than strikeouts belongs to Tommy Holmes, who had 28 homers with only 9 strikeouts in 1945. Here's a great chart showing all the seasons in which a player had more homers than strikeouts with a minimum of 20 homers: http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/10091
Re: RIP Stan MusialInteresting how the only recent one is Barry Bonds in 2004. Most HR hitters these days it is either hit a homer or forget it.
Re: RIP Stan MusialI'm a bit surprised to see Big Klu on the list. My boyhood recollection (probably cuz of the big arms and ripped sleeves) was that he was the consummate swing for the fences kind of guy.
Re: RIP Stan MusialConversely, Reggie Jackson, the most overrated player in history IMO, had fewers hits than strikeouts 11 times, and led the league in strikeouts five times.
Re: RIP Stan MusialThere used to be a saying along the lines of "I'd rather watch Reggie Jackson strike out than see anybody else hit a homer"; I always appreciated his at bats as works of art, even when flawed.
Re: RIP Stan MusialWhen Musial died, John Batchelor re-broadcast his excellent interview with George Vecsey, author of the 2011 Musial biography. The interview is great (better, IMHO, than the book).
Re: RIP Stan Musial
You and I, both. And you''ll note this was the big surprise to the big time baseball fans who populate the baseball think factory board.
