Evan Rachel Wood joined Camilla Belle on the red carpet for the Andrea Bocelli Foundation's 2011 Benefit Gala, which was held at the Beverly Hilton hotel this weekend.
The 'Ides of March' actress wore a Preen Spring 2012 dress. This is our first look at this collection on the red carpet.
I'm desperate for one of the colourful pieces to be worn on the red carpet, but Evan rightly chose this dress as it's more season appropriate.
Her black Sonya dress has an ivory and black printed top with a black mid-calf skirt cinched at the waist with an ivory printed belt.
A black hairband pulled back Evan's lighter blonde hair, whilst the rest of her accessories included black bow front Guiseppe Zanotti peep-toe pumps and a red satin Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.
Simple studded earrings and a pink lip shade finished the look.
You can buy Evan Rachel Wood's Guiseppe Zanotti bow front peep-toes

I recently had a brief chat about hair weaves and extensions with celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble. Kim is the mastermind behind the styles you've seen on Beyonce, Kerry Washington, Shakira, and many more. Should you wear a weave or are considering one, definitely take notes.
Fashion Bomb Daily: What are some tips for keeping your own hair healthy while wearing extensions? How do you prevent/take care of "weave itch"?
Kim Kimble: Keep the scalp fresh and clean by using a scalp treatment (like Kimble Hair Care Systems Scalp Relief). Detangling shampoos and conditioners (such as Kimble Hair Care Systems Untangle Shampoo and Untangle Conditioner) will keep the extensions from pulling on your hair. Silk pillowcases/bonnets are also a great investment as they will help keep your hair and the weave from drying out. The products will keep the weave fresh and smelling good. Be sure that when you wash your hair/weave, you let it air dry.
FBD: After extensions get taken out, what are some tips on how to style/maintain your own hair? Sometimes it's tough going from 20 inches of hair to 4 inches…lol. How do you get your own hair to not feel so thin after taking the weave out?
KK: Use some thickening products to thicken it up so that you feel like you have hair on your head. Thickening shampoos and conditioners, etc.
FBD: How long should one keep a weave in?
KK: Six to eight weeks is ideal, but you never want to go past 3 months. The average person naturally sheds about 60-80 hairs naturally. If you leave the weave in too long, your natural hair will start to shed and you will have a big mess when you finally remove the weave.
FBD: What are some upcoming weave trends?
KK: Clip ins, partial pieces, temporary extensions, straight and wavy textures, but there is an abundance of curly textures in the summer. In winter, there is more of a demand for more sleek and wavy styles.
FBD: What are some tips for ladies using weaves/extensions to transition out of a relaxer?
KK: Wearing a full head weave with extensions – find an extension color or cut that looks best on a full head.
FBD: What is the best type of hair to use for weaves/extensions?
KK: Some of my favorite hair types are virgin remi hair, Indian, Malaysian and yaki texture. However, when getting weaves/extensions, it's extremely important to match the hair type to your natural texture to ensure the best and most natural look.
FBD: Any tips on wigs?
KK: Find the most natural looking wig, have it cut and colored custom to your needs, and it will look more natural.

[...] Hair tips for weaves and wigs: If you're pretty active and wear weaves, you might want to consider going with a more wet and wavy or wash-n-go texture. This way if you have to wet your hair, it won't take a team of stylists to get your weave back on course. Also pay special attention to your real hair.

How much is the charge to put in the weave?
Its great that these hair weaving techniques offers hair which can last for months into your own hair. However just because it does not always involve braiding, glue or bonding methods used- does not mean it can't cause bald patches, hair loss and thinning.
hair weaving or specialty wigs can damage and tangle hair if improperly removed as well without using the Take Down Remover cream

A seminal Scottish drama that hasn't been seen on an American stage in 30 years, the Griffin Theatre Company proudly presents Ena Lamont Stewart's Men Should Weep. A landmark work that was selected by the National Theatre of London's millennium poll as one of the "Top 100 Plays of the Century," this show is set in Glasgow during the 1930s depression. Focusing on the misfortunes of the Morrison family -- six children, two parents and one grandmother all living together in a disordered tenement home -- this family drama touches on many timeless issues, all stemming from the central theme of poverty.

Sitting in the second row center, I was dismayed by the amount of cigarette smoking taking place onstage. Had I known of the smoke in advance, I might not have attended or I would have sat further away.
All other aspects of the show were well done.

Performances were fantastic, there were certain scenes you could cut the tension with a knife. The first act dragged a little long, but everyone was great. And that Connie, what a dame!

Not a good play to begin with, sadly miscast here, limply directed. The first act seemed to last forever, and the evening as a whole moved along like continental drift. What the director doesn't get is that Odets plays are Yiddish theater, badly...continued

If you notice what looks like a SWAT team at the Captain Warren House in Edgartown this morning, there's no cause for alarm: The Island-wide police tactical response team has asked the town's permission to use the dilapidated structure for training in search techniques.
"We use the Wesley House frequently, but the guys know every room," Edgartown Police Sgt. Jamie Craig told selectmen Monday afternoon. "There are no surprises."
Using the town-owned Warren House, next door to the Edgartown Public Library, will give officers "terrain they haven't seen before," Craig continued.
Wednesday's training will not be a dramatic affair, Craig assured selectmen: Officers will be conducting "slow, methodical searches" for people hidden in the building.
There will be "no big dynamic movements, no crashing and bashing around," he said: The team will be "just creeping around slowly."
Nonetheless, Craig said, there will be signs posted indicating that a police training exercise is underway, "so people don't think anything's real.
"We learned that early," he added.
According to the Edgartown Police Department website,
The Tactical Response Team (T.R.T) is designed to provide the island's communities with a flexible and effective response to unconventional and high risk law enforcement incidents, thereby increasing the likelihood of a safe resolution.
Its basic premise is that a select group of highly motivated and well-conditioned officers, specially equipped and trained to function as a tactical unit in a variety of situations, can be more effectively and safely employed for critical incidents which exceed the capability of standard police resources.
Incidents to which the team may respond include but are not limited to: hostage situations and negotiations, barricaded suspects, sniper situations, active shooters, service of high-risk warrants, searches for armed subjects, VIP protection, civil disorder and other special events.
Officers James Craig and Nicholas Phelps represent the Edgartown Police Department on the Martha's Vineyard Law Enforcement Council Tactical Response Team.

One of Ansel Adams' pet peeves was when Alan Ross would forget to turn off a battery-powered digital thermometer in the dark room.
He communicated his displeasure about the batteries wearing out by leaving notes that read, "You left the thermometer on all night (sniff!!)" and "Naughty boy!!!!!! You didn't turn the [expletive] thermometer off!!!!" Since Ross wasn't accustomed to using a thermometer that needed turning off, he forgot — a lot.
When Ross followed through, though, Adams scribbled, "Dear Alan, I am peeved!! Disappointed, discouraged!!!! You did NOT forget to turn off the thermometer and I have nothing to gripe about! What is life without a gripe? Desolate, flat, etc. ..."
These missives, exhibited at the Forest and Ocean Gallery along with candid shots of Adams dressed as Moses and another in which he is clowning around with a dark cloth, showcase the photographer and environmentalist's gregarious nature. Titled "Alan Ross: The Ansel Adams Legacy," the show features 11 black-and-white landscape images from the 26-piece collection "Yosemite Special Edition." The pieces cost $300 when unframed and $395 with frames.
The airy venue, bathed in natural light, also houses images that Ross captured across the West Coast, in particular at Yosemite National Park and East Sierra and Death valleys, during his five-year tenure as Adams' assistant. These limited-edition creations range from $600 to $12,000.
"We are trying to show what Ansel Adams was like as a human being, not just as a man behind the camera taking beautiful pictures," said gallery owner Ludo Leideritz. "During the reception, Alan's presentation [touched on] Ansel's sense of humor — which a lot of people never really got to know — and the fact that he was a clown. He would dress in costume just to give a shock effect. He wanted people to be comfortable around him ... there was no snobbishness or puffery. And he was extremely dedicated to his craft."
Leideritz, a fellow photographer who has converted his Rancho Santa Margarita home's three-car garage into a studio and dark room, met Ross six years ago at a workshop. Since then, the two have collaborated regularly and become close friends, as have their wives.
Until a week ago, Forest and Ocean Gallery was a 900-square-foot space, committed to fine-arts photography. Now, the location has expanded into the spot next door and is more than double its original size. In time, Leideritz plans to bring down the wall separating the two so visitors, like the 200 who attended last week's opening of the Ross exhibit, can move freely throughout, taking in the work of other artists, including jewelry and sculpture.
Having watched his exposure and printing techniques, Leideritz believes that Ross is "one of the top 20 photographers on the planet," adding that he, like Adams, effortlessly zeroes in on his targets.
"When you look at Alan's images, you see that there's a master at work here," he said. "There is so much going on — it's not just a pretty picture. There's depth, thought behind the image, expression and quite a variety of subject matter. You can tell that this man is completely, 100% dedicated and accomplished in what he's doing."
Ross and Adams were initially connected in 1972 through a common friend, advertising photographer Milton Halberstadt. The two began working together full-time in 1974, with Ross moving near Adams in Carmel to help him in the field and with photographic processes like developing film and finishing prints. On most days, they ate meals together and formed what could best be described as a familial bond, he recalled.
Although he immediately noticed Adams' energy and good humor, Ross said he was most influenced by the man's simplicity, practicality and humility.
"There was nothing about Ansel's equipment — camera or darkroom — that was either extravagant or exotic," he said. "His camera gear was old and beat-up, his darkroom cabinetry was mostly painted plywood.... He had no interest in whether he had 'the best' of anything. If it served his needs, that sufficed."
Adams also drove a used Ford LTD, which he adored, and could easily be found in the phone book.
"He had no illusions that every one of his exposures would be a masterpiece. It was enough that he had responded to something seen and tried to make it work," Ross added.
"He never regarded himself as anything more than a hard-working human with a purpose. He was dedicated to his convictions regarding photography, the environment and politics, and that dedication kept him always in motion."
The duo spent extensive time in Yosemite, which Adams had visited as a young boy with his parents. Completely overwhelmed by its majestic beauty, he returned every year for the rest of his life to continue expressing his feelings about the environment.
His favorite spot lay at Inspiration Point, with a view of El Capitan, Bridalveil Falls and Half Dome. Ross traveled there the week his mentor died and took a shot of a rain-drenched valley with dark clouds overhead — the weather gods seemed to be mourning too, he reflected.
At the Forest and Ocean Gallery, Leideritz walked between images that spoke of Adams' time with artist Georgia O'Keeffe and noted photographers Imogen Cunningham and David Kennerly. The gallery owner said Ross is the only person whose shots were framed and hung in the photographer and environmentalist's home. Adams especially liked "The Onion" and "Bridalveil Fall in Storm" — the latter found a home behind his wife, Virginia's, chair.
"I think all of us learn from someone or, perhaps, more than one person," Leideritz said.

The annual look at who went to the movies from the MPAA has been released. Here are the relevant stats. Women and men go to the movies in equal numbers. In 2010 women bought 50% of the tickets and men bought 50% of the tickets.
Breaking it down:
• 222.7 million people went to the movies at least once in 2010 (in the US and Canada)- that's over 2/3 of the population, and the average amount of tickets purchased per moviegoer was 6.
• 35 million people make up the frequent moviegoers (which is people who go at least once a month). Men increased in all age groups of frequent moviegoers, but women still make up more of the frequent moviegoers in the 18-24 category.
This number is very important - Hollywood lives and breathes on the narrative that young men drive the box office. That is just not true. There were 4.2 million 18-24 year old female frequent filmgoers compared to 3.3 million male frequent filmgoers. Now clearly young women are going to the male centric movies because those dominate the theatres, but keep in mind that three out of the top ten grossing films of 2010 (Alice in Wonderland, Twilight Eclipse and Tangled), had a female at the center of the story.
So what do the numbers mean for women and film? Women went to the movie less in 2010 than in 2009 where they bought 55% of the tickets, but they still go in EQUAL amounts to male patrons. Numbers do not lie. Women and men buy tickets in equal amount and women made up 51% of the moviegoers in 2010 compared to 49% of men.
Other things to note:
• Total Worldwide Box Office - $31.8 billion
• US Box Office - $10.6 billion
• International Box Office - $21.2 billion
• International box office makes up 67% of the revenue.
• Boys under 17 go to the movies more than girls- no surprise. Most of the films for kids have male leads are targeted at boys.
• Women in the 25-49 categories go to the movies less than men but that shouldn't surprise anyone because we all know who does the lion's share of child care.
• Women and men 50 and up go to the movies almost equally.
• Women and men go to the movies by race in equal amounts except for Latinos.
Now you have the ammunition. Don't be a part of a false narrative. Help fight the misconceptions about who goes to the movies.

"young men drive the box office. That is just not true." -- Kind of hard to take your word for it considering this is a feminist site and biased..even if you are right the only stat that matters is the sales and the sales show male-centric movies wipe the floor over female centric movies. This war on men nonsense needs to stop. Men need women and women need men
Betty Kruger | October 2, 2011 1:40 AM
OMG!!! Totally true!!!! I always have to wipe poop off of baby butts and breast feed 365 days a year and all my husband is good for is going to the movies!! UGGHHHH!!!!! This is so important thank you so much for righting this!! We need to STOP misconceptions about WHO GOES TO THE MOVIES!!! When you organize a 5K let me know!!!
Wendy | February 26, 2011 11:46 AM
Hollywood needs to stop assuming that all women want the same thing. I'd rather go see IM2 with my husband and we both enjoy it than see SATC2 and neither of us enjoy it. Films should target both and especially the 25 and over crowd who make up the bulk of ticket buyers. I have a teenage son. When he wants to see a movie I buy him a ticket. Women make the majority of purchases for the family. Make a product that everyone wants.
M.C. | February 26, 2011 7:59 AM
@ David: There's no reason to think that the average American woman simply enjoys male-centric movies more than female-centric ones.
Maybe women just prefer action flicks like Iron Man over romantic road-trips like Eat Pray Love.
If Iron Man had been Iron Woman and EPL had been about a man doing soulsearching, the box office probably would have been similar.
Jamie | February 26, 2011 3:11 AM
In advertising they insist on aiming ads at teenage boys and swear that they control the market place. I'd tell them in meetings, I've never seen a teenage boy buy anything. You might want to target the ads at their mothers and girlfriends....I think it's the males in power passing the torch, making sure their younger selves stay the focus of attention. The media is conveying who is important in society and who is not.
Frankly, I'd prefer that execs just focus on making good films for everyone. They've relied far too much on trying to please a so called target demo. It's an unstable business model.
David | February 26, 2011 12:04 AM
"Now clearly young women are going to the male centric movies because those dominate the theatres..."
That's a pretty reckless assumption. Last summer, more women went to go see Iron Man 2 than Eat Pray Love. I submit that the average American woman simply enjoys male-centric movies more than female-centric ones. The WNBA has been around since 1997 and has been bleeding money since Day One because their target (female) audience is too busy watching the NBA, MLB, and the NFL.
There is nothing else in the world that blatantly shows no self control like a fat person. They are

Cleveland claims relief pitcher
Perez added on waiver claim from White Sox
CLEVELAND -- The Indians filled their 40-man roster with a waiver claim on Monday.Right-handed reliever Oneli Perez was claimed from the White Sox and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. Perez, who turns 25 next week, was 0-1 with a 9.53 ERA in 14 appearances for Triple-A Charlotte. Last season, he was 6-2 with a 2.10 ERA and 16 saves in 59 appearances out of the bullpen at Double-A Birmingham. The Indians had an opening on their roster after outfielder Jason Tyner was designated for assignment last week.

1. Is that package enough? (As Lyle Spencer seems to think)
2. If not, what should we change to get him?
3. Shouldn't we be pursuing this now, regardless of our Free Agent additions?
4. Do you think Peavy would okay it? (Note: I didn't ask "Would you LIKE him to okay it?" Just if you think he would.
I simply don't think that would be enough for the Pads. I've always felt we'd have to give up Weaver to land Peavy. Which, by the way, I'd be okay with.
I wish we'd get these talks going now, if we haven't. I still don't think Peavy would okay the trade to the AL, but having him in our rotation would make us monsters. Throw in Dunn and we have to be highly considered to go all the way.

The Cuba Arts Initiative was created in 2010 as a result of the frequent inquiries from artists and public for a need to present and discuss the diverse aspects and expressions of Cuban art and culture in a setting such as the one provided by the Cuba Project. This initiative offers seminars and exhibits related to Cuban culture, intellectual history and the arts in collaboration and partneship with other institutions in Cuba and the United States. It includes film series, music, performance art, literature and art exhibitions.
In 2011 the Cuba Project is presenting the well-known Cuban band Grupo Folklorico y Experimental Nuevayorquino in collaboration with Bands of New York, a project that explores the legacy and role of Cuban music in New York communities, engaging artists, specialists, scholars, and local communities in a series of talks, seminars, and musical events.
Geographies of Cuban Art which featured Corina Matamoros, curator of contemporary Cuban art at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana was presented in May 2011 in collaboration with the Rubin Foundation.
A Summer Film Festival showcased three films made in Cuba in 2010 with discussions led by Cuba Fellow and Graduate Center professor Jerry Carlson.

text: The story of Jordan Graham and Cody Johnson's death spans two months time, including this week's federal court appearances. Court documents show eight days after Jordan Graham married Cody Johnson, she texted a friend she was having second thoughts about tying the knot.On July 7, Johnson was reported missing, and his body was recovered in Glacier National Park five days later when Graham notified a park ranger.As an investigation ensued, on July 16, Graham allegedly admitted she'd pushed Johnson off a cliff after they'd been arguing, but only after first fabricating a story that Johnson had fallen while hiking with friends.Johnson's friends said Graham seemed cold and calculating in the wake of her new husband's death."My gut was she had involvement in the process, I know there was a point in the situation where Jordan could have done the right thing. Even if it was an accident, the right thing wasn't done. So now, we're trying to pursue what the right thing is."In U.S. District Court this past Wednesday, her mother took the stand and admitted she and Graham's brother were present when Graham went looking for Johnson, and they did not immediately call the authorities when the body was found.Also in court on Wednesday, prosecutors revealed Graham tried to cover up the crime, by creating a bogus email account and writing fake emails from a made-up friend -- an account that traces back to Graham's home address.Judge Jeremiah Lynch released Graham to her parents Thursday, saying the young woman was not a flight risk nor a threat to the community. After Friday's court appearance re-affirming she should remain free, Graham will remain on house arrest in Kalispell until her next court date.ABC FOX MONTANA spoke with friends of Cody Johnson this week, who revealed the young couple hit it off immediately when they first met, but Graham became very controlling in the months leading up to the alleged murder.

Summer is Trout Season in Arkansas
Mike Trout continued his torrid June hitting with his eighth HR and 23rd stolen base tonight. He was on base three times, raising his slash line to a triumphant .330/.434/.565. He has a 1.265 OPS in June. He's doing this playing half his games in a pitcher's park. The Arkansas Travelers have won 8 of their last 10, have the best staff ERA in the Texas League, and suddenly have a functional offense. They are two games up on the divisional competition, and are on the verge of winning the first half outright. As a reminder, the average player age in the Texas League is 24. Mike Trout is still just 19 years old -- the youngest player in the league by far. In fact, there are only two active players under 21 in the whole league, and six total under 22. Put that in your prospect pipe and smoke it, George Washington.

BALTIMORE (BP) -- Developing resources to plant churches within the context of the African American community will be the National African American Fellowship's main focus at its 2014 meeting in Baltimore, NAAF President A.B. Vines said.
The African American pastors will celebrate NAAF's 20th anniversary June 7-9 at the Baltimore Convention Center, site of the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting June 10-11.
The fellowship is working to establish a partnership with the North American Mission Board to plant churches utilizing guidelines that conform to the needs of the African American community and to raise money to fund church plants, Vines said.
"We want to be a conduit so that churches can work in concert to help plant churches," he said. "We need to plant our churches within the context of the African American community."
NAAF aims to partner with NAMB to plant churches using models that are culturally relevant, Vines said, noting that urban churches are not necessarily African American because of changing demographics.
"We're still trying to work arrangements with NAMB to get more funding to help us with that," Vines said. "There's a lot of different ways to plant churches. We're trying to find the best format that we can.
"Since NAMB has decreased tremendously its African American footprint in the convention, we need to work alongside them in planting African American churches," Vines said, although the specific number of black church planters is not available.
"We can do it ourselves and partner with them from our context," Vines said, "as opposed to us trying to partner with them in their context. Once we raise our funding stream, we'll be able to raise money to do our own church planting."
In other priorities, NAAF is making plans to award its first two NAAF scholarships, $5,000 awards to a male and a female high school graduate.
"We're going through the applications now and the winner will be announced in June, at the convention probably," Vines said. "We have the scholarship funds, but we're going to offset the money, so we don't wind up draining our account."
NAAF will elect officers at its business meeting June 9 at 4 p.m. in Room 346 of the convention center. NAAF's board at its spring meeting recommended as 2014-15 officers: K Marshall Williams, president, pastor of Nazarene Baptist Church in Philadelphia; Byron J. Day, vice president, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Laurel, Md.; Frank Williams, secretary/ treasurer, assistant pastor of Bronx Baptist Church and interim pastor of Wake Eden Community Baptist Church, both in Bronx, N.Y.; and historian/parliamentarian Michael Pigg, pastor of Philadelphia Baptist Church in Lithonia, Ga.
When his presidency ends in June, Vines will remain active in NAAF as representative for the Pacific region, the board recommended. Brian King, senior pastor of Ezekiel Baptist Church in Philadelphia, was recommended to another term representing NAAF's Eastern region, and Garland Moore, pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Milan, N.M., was recommended to continue representing the Mountain region. The board recommended Jeffrey Friend, pastor of Suburban Baptist Church in New Orleans, to head the Central region.
Vines will deliver the presidential address at NAAF's banquet June 9 from 6:309:30 p.m. in the convention center's Camden Lobby. There, NAAF will honor its past presidents. Banquet tickets are $55 each and are available at www.naafsbc.org under the E-Giving tab. NAAF encourages reservations be made by June 3, as only a few tickets will be available at the event. Additional information is available on NAAF's website under "Announcement."
The group's annual worship service will be held June 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Seventh Metro Baptist Church, 30 E. North Ave., Baltimore. Joseph Lyles, pastor of Fort Foote Baptist Church in Fort Washington, Md., and a past NAAF president, will preach. Ryan Palmer is the host pastor.

Sylvester - When responding to an emergency call, there is no time for hesitation, and no room for mistakes.
"That was the situation we were tested in, a cardiac arrest situation, which is the most life threatening there is," says team leader Krista Rouse. "We want the patients in worth county to know that we're here and we care about them. And that we are trained to take care of them in the highest level of training."
The Worth County team competed with other EMS workers from across the state, and took home first place in a competition that judged on management of the patient, use of time and overall professionalism. They placed second in the competition last year and have been training constantly in order to take home the trophy this year.
Although the team is proud of the accomplishment, the trophy is bittersweet. While at the competition, the team received news that Worth County first responder, Amanda McDonald, had been killed in a car accident.
"She responded on calls and was like family to us," says Rouse. "She was killed in a car wreck last week, one of the days we were over there competing, and we decided as a team to dedicate [the trophy] to her memory."
And they hope to honor her memory next year by winning the award again. The team will next compete in a Basic Trauma life support competition in November at Darton College.

ARLINGTON -- The story of Spring Training for the Rangers should have been how they were going to defend their American League championship.They went to the World Series in 2010 for the first time in club history and Spring Training should have been a celebration of that. But that's not the Rangers way. The Rangers go into Spring Training with three big questions hanging over the club and Michael Young is No. 1 on the list. Young was the Rangers' starting third baseman the past two seasons, but that changed when the club could not convince pitcher Cliff Lee to return and signed Adrian Beltre instead. The plan was for Beltre to be the Rangers' third baseman and Young to fill the role of designated hitter and "super utility" infielder. But Young doesn't appear to be satisfied with that role and there is a possibility he could be traded before or during Spring Training. That situation continues to hang over the Rangers. The other two issues also remain unresolved. The Rangers haven't decided if reliever Neftali Feliz, who was the American League Rookie of the Year, will remain as closer or move to the rotation, and it's still unclear if the club will be able to sign American League MVP Josh Hamilton to a long-term contract. The Rangers could go to Spring Training with much intrigue remaining to be cleared up.

First Spring Training game2:05 p.m. (CT) Sunday, Feb. 27 vs. Royals
Opening Day3:05 p.m. (CT) Friday, April 1 vs. Red Sox
Triple play: Three questions that need answers1. Will Neftali Feliz be moved into the rotation?
Feliz saved 40 games for the Rangers as their closer in 2010, but both he and reliever Alexi Ogando will be stretched out as possible starters this spring. That is only a first step and doesn't mean either one will actually be in the rotation. The Rangers know that Wilson made a successful transition from the bullpen to the rotation last year but that doesn't automatically mean Feliz will do the same. The Rangers know Feliz can throw hard but they also want to see him command his secondary pitches for strikes as well. They also need to feel comfortable with a potential alternative as far as a closer. Ogando would be one strong candidate. Mark Lowe and Darren O'Day are the other two setup relievers who might be considered. 2. Who will get the most playing time at first base?
Moreland, a left-handed hitter, is expected to be the Rangers' primary first baseman, especially against right-handed pitchers. Young and Mike Napoli could see time there against left-handed pitching. But Moreland still has to earn the position and manager Ron Washington wants to see some improvement defensively. The Rangers are unlikely to just hand Moreland the job and Chris Davis, the Opening Day first baseman the past two years, remains on the roster. The position is not set in concrete. 3. How will the outfield be configured?
Washington said he wants to move Josh Hamilton back to left field. If that turns out to be the case, then Julio Borbon will be back in center field and David Murphy will end up being the fourth outfielder again. Nelson Cruz will be in right field. During the playoffs, Hamilton played center with Murphy in left and Borbon mainly off the bench. They also used Cruz in left when they faced a left-hander because they had Jeff Francoeur in right field. Francoeur is no longer with the Rangers.

The new guys3B Adrian Beltre The Rangers, unable to re-sign Cliff Lee, signed Beltre to a six-year, $96 million contract to help fortify their defense as well as be their cleanup hitter. He was an All-Star in 2010 while having one of his best offensive seasons. RHP Brandon Webb: He was the 2006 National League Cy Young winner but has missed almost two complete seasons with a right shoulder injury. He is expected to be at full strength and ready to go at the start of Spring Training. RHP Arthur Rhodes: He was also an All-Star in 2010 for the Reds and has been one of the top left-handed setup relievers in the game for the past 16 years. He combines with Darren Oliver to give the Rangers two effective left-handed setup relievers. C Yorvit Torrealba: He takes over as the Rangers' No. 1 catcher, a 10-year veteran who has earned a reputation for being solid defensively and able to work well with his pitchers. Matt Treanor is back as the backup catcher. C/1B Mike Napoli: The Rangers gave up reliever Frank Francisco to acquire a versatile right-handed hitter who can play both first base and catcher. He has hit 66 home runs over the past three seasons. He has a career .928 OPS against left-handed pitchers. RHP David Bush: He was 8-13 with a 4.54 ERA in 31 starts and one relief appearance for the Brewers last year. He gives the Rangers veteran insurance for the rotation and could be a long reliever/spot starter coming out of the bullpen. RHP Yoshinori Tateyama: He is a side-arming right-handed pitcher who had significant success as a setup reliever in Japan. He gives the Rangers some depth in case they want to move Feliz or Ogando into the rotation.
Prospects to watchRHP Tanner Scheppers The right-hander was 1-3 with a 4.84 ERA in seven starts and 29 relief appearances last season at Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Oklahoma City. He was ranked 43rd on MLB.Com's Top 50 prospects. RHP Omar Beltre: He made two starts for the Rangers last year while going 3-9 with a 2.65 ERA in 14 starts and 10 relief appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City. In 85 innings, he allowed 69 hits and 38 walks while striking out 85. OF Engel Beltre: He was the Rangers' Minor League Player of the Year in 2010, hitting .300 with 52 runs scored, six home runs, 49 RBIs and 18 stolen bases at Frisco and Class A Bakersfield. He could be a year away from breaking into the Rangers outfield. LHP Michael Kirkman: He made 14 relief appearances for the Rangers at the end of last season but was also their Minor League Pitcher of the Year after going 13-3 with a 3.09 ERA at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He has a chance to pitch his way into a prominent role on the pitching staff. C Jose Felix Considered an outstanding defensive catcher, Felix was the Rangers' Minor League Defender of the Year in 2010. He is still developing offensively but is their best catching prospect at the upper levels of their farm system.
On the reboundRHP Mark Lowe: Known as the second player acquired from the Mariners in the Lee trade, Lowe missed almost five months after undergoing back surgery. He pitched in three games at the end and was on the World Series roster. Now the Rangers are counting on him having a major impact on their bullpen this spring. RHP Scott Feldman: The Rangers' 17-game winner and Pitcher of the Year in 2009 struggled much of last season and ended up having knee surgery in the offseason. He is not expected to be ready for Opening Day but he could be a viable option for either the rotation or the bullpen by late April or early May. RHP Eric Hurley: A former first-round Draft pick in 2004, Hurley has missed all of the past two seasons with a torn right rotator cuff and a broken left wrist. But he pitched well in the Arizona Fall League and will be at full strength in Spring Training. OF Craig Gentry: He could have been a part of the Rangers' postseason team but had his year cut short because of a broken wrist. In 69 games at Triple-A Oklahoma City, he hit .309 with a .393 on-base percentage and 12 stolen bases. He can still run, play defense and has a strong throwing arm.
Long goneLHP Cliff Lee: The Rangers' No. 1 starter in the second half of the season and the playoffs ended up signing with the Phillies rather than returning to Texas. Webb has the best chance of replacing him in the rotation. OF/DH Vladimir Guerrero: The Rangers made an attempt to re-sign him but that came to a close when Beltre came aboard. Young will likely be the Rangers' designated hitter, with Beltre likely to replace Guerrero as the cleanup hitter. C Bengie Molina: He talked about retiring, then told people that he wanted to play one more year. But the Rangers went in another direction at catcher. RHP Frank Francisco: The veteran right-hander and former closer was the Rangers' No. 1 setup reliever for much of last season until he went down with a strained muscle in his right ribcage. He missed the entire playoffs and then was traded to the Blue Jays for Napoli. OF Jeff Francoeur: The Rangers' right-handed-hitting right fielder for the playoffs ended up signing with the Royals and will be on the other side of the Spring Training complex.

Article By: Lew Bryson
the first of November, and that means two things.
One, you sold your last bottle of Oktoberfest yesterday; hope you didn't overstock, and
two, it's now winter beer season, and all the breweries are going to be selling you theirs.
But before you buy into the turbo-charged, spice-burning action, ask yourself . . .
Why Again?
. . . do people want winter beers; why do brewers brew them; why are they spiced,
why are they big; and why are you buying them . . .
"The market is a lot like our brewers," offered Andy Pherson, President of Long Trail Brewing in Bridgewater Corners, Vermont. "They like change." It could be as simple as that - if you sell to the craft brew consumer, you know that's true. These guys have already changed from what most other beer drinkers prefer, and it's almost as if that change has gotten into their psyche; they change a lot, brand loyalty thrown to the winds.
You just did real well on Oktoberfest (it's the biggest-selling seasonal beer overall, so it's at least likely that you did), but now they're looking for something new. Winter beers are just that something. It doesn't matter if they've seen this "new" thing before, after all, they saw all those Oktoberfest beers before. It's new now, new like the changing season.
Jim Koch, the Sam Adams man, takes that changing season philosophy and goes deep with it. "I believe that the styles of beer have a fundamental relationship to the turning of the seasons," he said. "When you live in New England, the changing of the seasons is something very dramatic, almost thunderous. You'll have that first day when you say, 'Okay, it's really winter now.' It may be in the end of October, it may not be 'til December, but it happens. It affects your mind, it affects your attitude and it affects your beer."
Okay, a bit more heart and soul, but still valid. People may look at the calendar to buy Oktoberfest, but they look out the window and walk out the door to know when it's winter beer time, and when that day happens . . . Al Marzi at Harpoon knows. "We've got hardcore fans of the Harpoon Winter Warmer," he said, "people who always call: 'When's it coming out?!'" For some people, there's a real pragmatic reason for the desire for winter beers that has to do with the way the season drives something else. "A lot of it is that people who buy beer in our segment do a lot of food and beer pairing," explained Ben Anhalt, the brewer at Paper City in Mt. Holyoke. "In the colder months people aren't eating salad. "They're eating meatloaf, and spaghetti and meatballs. There's a culinary edge to it. You need something bigger to match those foods."
That's why Anhalt rolls out Paper City's big Winter Palace Wee Heavy, a hefty beer that can take on a meatloaf without wheezing.
And just in case that meat loaf is tougher than it looks, he's brewing an additional special winter beer this year for a tag team match, his Denogginator doublebock.
Ask Anhalt why he brews the Denogginator, though, and you'll get the answer that strikes closest to home on all these winter brews. "I brewed it just for fun," he said. Go back far enough - and that's going to be going back a couple centuries - and you'll find that seasonal beers were almost all brewed for all these reasons. English winter warmers were an accompaniment to wild boar and Christmas pudding.
Doublebocks were brewed strong and sweet to sustain fasting monks through Lent. Spiced winter beers were just something different, something special, something . . . just for fun.
That's where Harpoon's Winter Warmer falls in, a spiced winter beer that was done just because. Harpoon head brewer Al Marzi recalled how it got started. "It was (brewery co-founder) Rich Doyle's idea," he said. "He was looking at winter beers in Europe, primarily in England. That's why they opened Harpoon: they'd traveled in Europe, had those fresh local beers, and wanted to start that in Boston. They went back to those roots to decide what beers to make." Marzi wasn't at the brewery yet when the Winter Warmer was first brewed, but that's not all that surprising. As best as they can determine, the Winter Warmer is the third oldest regularly-brewed winter seasonal beer in America, coming in behind Anchor's Our Special Ale and Coor Winterfest. "It was our first seasonal, and I think it was in 1989," Marzi said. "It has been our best-selling seasonal for years. The Summer Ale finally passed it this year, mainly on the basis of a longer season."
I asked Marzi if the beer is the same every year. "Hey," he said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it! We've always liked it the way it is. But it's funny. No matter that we don't change it at all, people always ask, every year: 'What did you do to it?' or 'It's different!' and you'll hear them telling each other, '1996 was the best year.' It's all the same! We haven't felt a need to change it. We've got the 1OO Barrel Series to keep the brewers happy."
Even a brewery that's just starting up will have a winter beer. Todd Marcus is busy as a one-armed paperhanger out on the Cape,
running his new one-man operation, Cape Cod Brewing. He's only got two beers available as I write this, his Channel Marker Red and Shark's Tooth IPA, but he'll be ready for the cold winds off the ocean.
"I'll put out some specials to satisfy the fickle tastes of the craft brew drinker," he said. "They always want something new. I've got a couple options. It might be a spiced version of the red, with allspice, cinnamon, clove, and ginger. But if I have the tank space, I'll do something halfway between a Scotch Ale and a barleywine, a beer I've made before, called Old Man Winter. Somewhere between 8 and 9%, certainly way less than cloying, with just enough roasted malt to give it a hint of smoke."
Anhalt isn't just rolling out the big, malty, solid Winter Palace or the mighty Denogginator. "Winter Lager is one of our Brewer's Offering beers," he said. "The former head brewer had this recipe with seven different grains: rye, a little wheat, kind of a hodgepodge. It's a fun little multigrain lager that doesn't fit in any styles or categories. We mostly make it to keep our lager yeast happy over the winter." All three beers are available in draft and bottles.
Jim Koch is playing Santa Claus this year with a little bit of something for everyone in his big beer sack. "We have some beers from the past this year," he said. "Old Fezziwig and the Cranberry Lambic will be available in the mixed winter packs. We're also working on a new beer that will be in the mixed packs, which has the name Holiday Porter at this point.
It is a very big, higher alcohol porter, a big Imperial porter. It's not the (old) Honey Porter, there's no honey in it."
If you want a full six-pack or case of winter specialty, Boston Beer offers the Samuel Adams Winter Lager. "Winter Lager is the primary winter beer," Koch confirmed. "The Winter Lager will be the same recipe as in the past. It's a big, spiced beer - a big malty dark lager with holiday spices in it. It has fresh ginger pulp, cinnamon from southeast Asia, and curaEao orange zest. Even the base beer is an unusual style: it doesn't really fit the schwarzbier or dunkel category, it's bigger than that."
Long Trail does a winter variety pack too, though you won't find multiple winter specialities in there.
"Hibernator is the winter beer, since 1995," said Andy Pherson. "It's a Scotch Ale. We haven't changed it . . . except the hop variety, and hops aren't that big a deal in a Scotch Ale anyway. It's about 6%."
You can expect to see more support for the Hibernator this year, and Pherson had an interesting story on why that is. "We have to flaunt that label more, and we're going to do that this year," he said. "We didn't do more before this year because we didn't own the name. Golden Pacific Brewing came up with the same name, and registered it first, by a few weeks! I went out to Golden Pacific and fessed up. I showed it to the president, I told him we were already in production. He was great about it, and we wound up doing a license with them. Then just as the agreement expired, Gambrinus bought up Golden Pacific. Well, we just signed a license agreement with them. It's an outright sale, and we own the name now, so we'll be able to put some solid support behind it."
Another Vermont brewer who is looking for your interest in winter beers is Otter Creek and Wolaver's, in Middlebury. They had a winter beer for years, one called A Winter's Ale, but they dropped that last year and brewed up a new beer called Alpine Ale. Sales and marketing guy Max Oswald described it as "A great beer, with big malt flavor and a solid hop finish. It's engaging, the kind of beer you want to keep going with. It's 5.8% ABV. We're selling to ski areas, so we don't really want to knock someone over."
Oswald explained why the change in line-up. "We'd seen some stagnation in seasonal sales," he said. "We'd had a static line of seasonals. Winter beers get compressed into November and December, and your winter beer's not really performing in the winter January and February. Steve Parkes (of Wolaver's) came in with a bunch of ideas from California. So we shook it up with some new beers. It worked out well, the market really responded. It de-seasonalized it to a 'special release', working towards eliminating the November/December 'winter beer' season and positioning the beer towards skiing - the whole ski season. We're not stuck, handicapped, hamstrung by 'winter' anymore."
That's certainly something to aim for. I asked Al Marzi what he thought was the best way to sell winter beers after New Year's Day. "Make sure you sell them by December 31," he replied, and he wasn't laughing. It's a rare winter beer that continues to sell well after New Year's Day. "After New Year's Day," Marzi confided, "the light-switch goes off, the case sales fall off. It's really strongest leading up to the holidays. Even though January is the heart of winter, people just aren't thinking that. I don't know why they won't sell in the winter."
Don't take that personally. It's probably not the winter beer's fault. Brian Anhalt got realistic about it. "In any kind of service or hospitality business," he reminded people, "January is a horrible month. People don't go out or buy six-packs: they're overextended financially, they're still on their New Year's resolutions. January's a dog of a month, probably a 25% drop in brewing. But once that's over, February comes and things are back on course - but winter beers are forgotten. So play your inventory really close. You should be getting your volume discounts in December and overstock, then just live off that fat in January."
There is a contrarian view: no surprise, it's Jim Koch. "Winter Lager does fine after New Year's Day," he said. "It continues to do well into winter. Then, depending on where you are in the country . . . sometimes around the end of February in Massachusetts, even though it's still winter and the weather sucks, people's minds sort of lean forward. They begin thinking about spring. That's only for about two months or six weeks, because come April, we're thinking summer." Must have something to do with baseball.
Don't let all this talk of 'dead by January' scare you off, though. Winter beers are definitely hot sellers, and sales have been on the rise over the past five years. "We've seen growth in our seasonal program every year since we started doing it in 1987," said Koch. Andy Pherson's real happy with Hibernator sales. "It showed 2O% growth in all markets last year," he said. "It's a very steady grower."
"Winter Warmer's been up," Al Marzi said, "and if it holds with the other seasonals this year, it will continue to be up. It's been a really good year, across the board." "We're looking at about 2O% growth overall," said Paper City's Anhalt. "We took a large jump in our spring and summer seasonals, and maybe the trend line will jump even higher, because we usually sell more Oktoberfest and Winter Palace than the other seasonals. We could have a gangbuster fall."
Okay, say you've got your stock in, and it's not January 1 yet. What's the best way to sell it? Max Oswald at Otter Creek leans on the lure of a special release, kind of the news aspect of it. "There's a strong market for special release beers," he said. "Let people know that's what it is. A lot of people are always looking for something different, something to look forward to, a beer that's only out for a while. They're drinking the category: quality and variety. The retailer can play into that. We do POS all around that special release. Retailers have been stung in the past; when seasonals shut off, they shut off hard. But we've adjusted, and those sales will come back. It's also a great way to introduce people to their stores: a lot of big stores don't handle that kind of variety."
Jim Koch says pile 'em high and watch 'em buy. "Put up a 5 to 25-case stack, depending on your store size," he said. "Winter beer is an impulse purchase, and it's very high incremental profit. It tends to be an additional six-pack, 12-pack, or case on top of what they intended to buy. That's about as profitable as it gets: it doesn't replace what they were planning to get, and it's a pretty good ring. It brings a lot of money to the bottom line. 'Samuel Adams Seasonals are the golden cases that all fall to the bottom line'. That description actually came from a retailer. It's a high-profit, impulse item, so display them prominently. They don't detract from your base business and will add pure profit dollars to each customer visit."
All good points, and thoughtful strategy. But Brian Anhalt had a real simple suggestion that plays hard on the "sell it by New Year's Day" wisdom. "Make a pretty display," he said, "and put a Christmas tree on it."

Dentist will swap cash for Halloween candy

That is a lousy deal. Candy hasn't been $1/lb in 40 years. Talk about sucking all the joy right out of life. Dr. Killjoy, DDS, is just trying to drum up business. Just brush your teeth, Kids.
on Oct 31, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Clearly you do not have children.
"Just brush your teeth, kids" ha ha ha ha. If only life were that easy!!!
This is a nice option for kids. They can eat some of their candy, and sell some back. Children do not need hundreds of $$$ and they did not buy the candy, nor their costume, etc. so it is a good deal for them.
Stop being so negative on every story you read
on Nov 1, 2011 at 11:08 am
Ingenious way of incentivizing kids to eat less candy. Realistically, we have surpluses of candy after every Halloween that never gets eaten.
Also a pretty inexpensive and slick way to draw potential business to your dental practice. After all, guess who will be driving the children to redeem their money for candy swaps?
And Anonymous, what's wrong with advertising one's business and trying to increase his practice? He isn't making false or misleading claims, just broadcasting he's a dentist.

Pathways to Sustainability

Kailua-based Sunetric is the state's largest solar contractor,
Solar—Big, Better, Best
Solar is a sure bet for Hawaii—though the argument becomes more compelling every day, complexity and confusion lingers. Only a few short years ago, there were less than ten solar contractors in Hawaii; today there are over one hundred. The number of solar manufacturers and the spectrum of technology has increased exponentially along with a global uptick in marketing, advertising, and media focus. Dozens of contractors, hundreds of products, thousands of conflicting messages on the 'best' solution—it can make even the most informed consumers question their ability to choose.
Thankfully, the increased competition has fostered innovation across the board—from panel efficiency to myriad financing programs, the solar market has never offered so much potential to so many. On the residential front, new, higher efficiency PV systems provide incredibly quick return on investment and remarkable environmental benefits. Additionally, new financing options like SunRun create opportunity for nearly any Hawaii home owner to go solar regardless of their financial standing. In the commercial marketplace, government incentives continue to support solar investment across the islands. Additionally, the Public Utilities Commission's recent approval of the Feed-In Tariff program could provide a powerful catalyst for growth in renewable energy production on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island over the coming years.
As the market grows, so too have the companies involved—from sales consultants to marketing organizations to fully integrated design, engineering, and installation resources, the players continue to mature. None has progressed further than the industry leader, Sunetric. Freshly stationed in a state-of-the-art office space in Kailua, the firm proudly wears the mantle of Hawaii's largest locally owned and operated solar installer. Founded in 2004, Sunetric has installed more PV than any other company in the state. In total, Sunetric is responsible for nearly 60,000 solar panels installed across all islands, offering the equivalent benefit of taking 3,000 vehicles off Hawaii roads each year.
A growing solar marketplace holds the promise of a sustainable future for Hawaii, but a big solar industry doesn't alone guarantee success. Better technology, financing, and service must continue to evolve, and as the crowd grows, the best contractors must perpetually innovate and adapt. Again, the paragon is Sunetric—with unmatched insight, capability, and experience, the firm leads the way into tomorrow, working with communities, consumers, and government to educate and advocate for a sustainable, and affordable, future for Hawaii.

Quick Biography:
Israel "Bruddah IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole was born on May 20, 1959, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Israel began playing music at age 11, and released his first solo album, Ka'ano'i in 1990. He died in 1997 at age 38 of respiratory problems brought on by his morbid obesity. Despite his short life, his gentle ukulele playing and hauntingly beautiful voice have already made him a musical legend.
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was already popular in Hawaii when he burst onto the world music scene in 1993 with his album Facing Future. The album shot to number one on the Billboard World Music charts, and in Hawaii, Iz became a bona fide star. Facing Future contained the song that would eventually become most associated with him: his medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What A Wonderful World."
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What A Wonderful World":
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (from The Wizard of Oz) and Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" is almost impossibly beautiful, and has been used in many tv shows and movies, including ER, Scrubs, 50 First Dates, Meet Joe Black, and Finding Forrester.
Political Activism:
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was a staunch advocate for Hawaiian independence and Hawaiian cultural and environmental issues. Some of his lyrics even spoke on the topic of Hawaiian sovereignty.
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole died in 1997 at the age of 38. He had suffered from morbid obesity his entire life, topping 750 pounds at one point. He died in the middle of the night of respiratory failure. He was laid in honor in Hawaii's Capitol building, and his ashes were later scattered into the ocean. He left behind his wife and young teenaged daughter.

What Indianapolis Fans Are Saying About Brody Eldridge
Colts take Brody Eldridge in the fifth round, a 265 pound tight end out of Oklahoma. The interesting thing about him at Oklahoma is that he was sort of a "jack-of-all-trades" along the offensive line. He played some center and guard his senior year. He didn't catch that many passes playing behind OU phenom tight end Jermaine Gresham. But pass catching doesn't seem to to be his thing. This guy is a blocker:

The Cameron Parish Police Jury can only use money dedicated in a tax approved in May for the parish courthouse and jail, according to a recent Louisiana Attorney General's opinion.Voters on May 4 renewed a 10-year ad valorem tax for "maintaining and operating the Cameron Parish Courthouse and Jail."However, officials sought an opinion on using tax proceeds on the East Annex, which currently houses the District Attorney and the Tax Assessor; as well as the West Annex, which houses the Parish Administrator and staff, the West Cameron Port Commission, the Registrar of Voters and the Office of Emergency Preparedness.Officials also asked if the parish was authorized to use the tax proceeds for the maintenance and operation of its temporary location in Creole that housed the Parish Administrator and staff, Registrar of Voters, Director of Planning and Development and the Office of Emergency Preparedness from 2005 to 2012.The opinion states that, "ad valorem tax proceeds dedicated 'for the purpose of maintaining and operating the Cameron Parish Courthouse and Jail,' may not be used to maintain and operate buildings other than those that house the court and jail."You can read the full opinion HERE.

I have been busy with my new toy: 1959 CUB named "Argale" after my grandfather. Anyway, I got the carb problems fixed with all your great help but after installing it and cranking my heart out I discoverd I had a non- sparking issue. Since the push button switch had been replaced I started there but that didn't fix the problem. So, I pulled the grill, hood and tank, and dashboard and wired the two wires together and still no spark. Pulled the distributor cap and it looks like my points are HISTORY ! DO I PULL THE ENTIRE DISTRIBUTOR OUT, SHAFT AND ALL TO REPLACE THEM??????
I made a new CUB friend today, right here in town I saw one sitting outside and he had just got it. I determined that his was a 1948 with manual push button lift and no hydraulics or electric lights. It had belly mower, decent paint, but when we tried to turn the engine it broke the pin of my hand crank ! A stuck engine. I advised him as to his options ATF, raise the rear wheel and turn in gear, etc. He stopped later and returned my crank repaired and said he took the starter motor off and was able to turn the engine over. He had a lucky day too !
Thanks for the help !
