Jack Davis: Drawing American Pop Culture: A Career Retrospectiveby Jack Davis
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Jack Davis arrived on the illustration scene in the euphoric post-war America of the late 1940s when consumer society was booming and the work force identified with commercial images that reflected this underlying sense of confidence and American bravado. Advertising agencies were looking for new ways to tap a rich and expanding market, and there was a vast array of media that needed illustrations. Davis' animated and exuberant images possessed a sense of spontaneous energy that proved to have universal appeal in every medium he worked in.
Beginning with his masterful pen and ink cartooning at EC Comics, he quickly forged a reputation as one of the most versatile artists in comics, drawing humor, horror, and war stories. In Harvey kurtzman's MAD, especially, Davis made a mark as a master of caricature, composition, and wild, anarchic crowd scenes, practically vibrating with energy.
After stints at MAD, Trump, and Humbug — three humor magazines that defined the satirical zeitgeist of the '50s — Davis went on to become the most successful commercial illustrator of his generation, illustrating movie posters, magazine articles, magazine fiction, LP jackets, and more.
Jack Davis: Drawing American Pop Culture is a gigantic, unparalleled career-spanning retrospective, between whose hard covers resides the greatest collection — in terms of both quantity and quality — of Jack Davis' work ever assembled! It includes work from every stage of his long and varied career, such as: excerpts of satirical drawings from his college humor 'zine, The Bull Sheet; examples of his comics work from EC, MAD, Humbug, Trump, and obscure work he did for other companies in the 1950s such as Dell; movie posters including It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Bad News Bears, Woody Allen's Bananas, The Party, and others; LP jacket art for such musicians and bands as Hans Conreid and the Creature Orchestra's Monster Rally, Spike Jones and Ben Cooler; cartoons and illustrations from Playboy, Sports Illustrated, Time, TV Guide, Esquire, and many others; unpublished illustrations and drawings Davis did as self-promotional pieces, proposed comic strips that never sold (such as his Civil War epic "Beaureagard"), finished drawings for unrealized magazine projects — and even illustrations unearthed in the Davis archives that the artist himself can't identify!
Much of the material will be scanned directly from original art, showing the painterly brush strokes and black and white pen work with far greater fidelity than any previous reproduction ever has. Many paintings and illustrations are accompanied by preliminary drawings that demonstrate the evolution of Davis' drawing process.
The first comprehensive collection of a national artistic treasure.
About the Author
One of America's most beloved and best known illustrators, Jack Davis was born in December 2, 1924 in Atlanta, Georgia, and still makes his home in the area.

Let me start this post by admitting I am an unashamed Fedor nuthugger. The man can do no evil as far as I am concerned. His style is the epitome of MMA to me, mixed parts aggression and finishing instinct paired with a technical savvy that is matched only by Anderson Silva at a close second (IMO). The way he was able to dispatch his opponents with such brutality yet remain cold and calculating at the same time set my own personal standard for how a fighter should approach his competition; yet at the same time, his life outside of the cage/ring was defined by an endearing humbleness and legitimately warm aura that showed he was only there to ply his trade, not to revel in violence.
I am not a great artist. You could say I am good, but that would be debatable. Rather, I enjoy sketching/drawing in my free time, with my medium of choice being Micron fine tip pens. This particular piece was done with a .005 fine tip Micron pen on a 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. One day while browsing the internet, I came across a picture of Fedor made up of what looked to be roughly cut out Russian newspaper clippings....I immediately decided to redraw the picture with my own twist. Using only 3 words (The Last Emperor) I redrew the entire piece, using progressively larger words words to achieve a level of depth to the piece. Not saying this is a particularly great bit of art, but I figured my fellow Mutherfukers would appreciate something including one of the greatest fighters of our time. Hope you all enjoy =]

HAR LABOR DAY WEEKEND MUSIC SALE - all of my albums and singles on Bandcamp available through this Monday (9/1) for just $1 each (or hey, more if you're feeling generous!). Thanks! :D
HAR LABOR DAY WEEKEND MUSIC SALE - all of my albums and singles on Bandcamp available through this Monday (9/1) for just $1 each (or hey, more if you're feeling generous!). Thanks! :D
HAR-SALE! This weekend, Friday 1/24 through Sunday 1/26 - all of my releases on Bandcamp for just a buck each! :)
Yep, I decided if I'm gonna start getting serious about the music videos I might want to get up on Vimeo as well as YouTube! Visit my new Vimeo page containing my 2 newest music videos (so far!) at:
Coming soon: "Into The Maelström, Vol4 -The Return of The Professor", my live ambient improv set from May 12th on Stillstream.com, performed entirely on processed/looped PIANO this time (AKA "The 88-String Guitar" LOL).
The whole set was over an hour and 33 minutes long - here's a small excerpt. I'll have the full length set available on my Bandcamp site soon. Enjoy! :)
https://soundcloud.com/har-ambientguitarist/har-into-the-maelstr-m-vol4(0 plays)
For 5/11 and 5/12: I've set all of my releases available on Bandcamp to "Name Your Price". Help support independent music…thanks! :)
Now available on Bandcamp: "Into The Maelström, Vol. 3: The Surge. LIVE: January 13, 2013", a 50+ minute live-in-the-studio dark ambient improv soundscape performed on solo 8-string guitar on Stillstream. Enjoy! :)
As a salute to all of my Facebook friends who assume that all of THEIR Facebook friends must be watching the same TV show they are when they post their vague cryptic play-by-plays, I've decided to do the same thing…but for the songs I'm listening to. Ready? Here goes:
A question of definition: without getting into the typical pointless "what is and isn't ambient music" pissing match (AKA "The Petulent 'But Eno Says It's Gotta Be Ignorable!!' Whine") - where can one draw a line between ambient/atmospheric music, and "pretty or not-so-pretty instrumental music"…? Where does one end and the other begin?
To me at least, it seems like a lot of people are starting to easily blur the lines between "ambient/atmospheric music" and what would normally be simply called "instrumental music" under any other circumstance. Not saying that I personally think it's right or wrong - just observing what appears to be shifting perceptions and parameters.
As an example of the former: Michelle Cross & Joe Frawley's outstanding "Dolls Come To Life" album - while lacking so-called "standard" ambient staples like drones, and featuring melodic actually-sung vocals along with defined structures, tempo and cadence (albeit often rubato), it is indeed richly textured/soundscaped, darkly moody and undeniably very very atmospheric. In my book I'd call that ambient/atmospheric music, and featured it on my show on Stillstream. The sustaining high number of listeners during the entire album play seemed to indicate that they agreed with my opinion.
As an example of the latter: I've often heard either beautifully played acoustic guitar, piano or perhaps Chapman Stick instrumental solos with the ol' hint o' reverb…or, spikey, dry, heavily sequenced electronica…or, even full-blown metal instrumental tracks with a few whispy synth pads tossed in there…placed squarely into the "ambient music" category.
I've heard examples of when that definition might certainly be correct, and others when I'd say IMHO it might not be. Good-sounding and well executed? Sure. Moody? Perhaps. Atmospheric? Sometimes, but not always. Ambient? That appears to be up for grabs now.
The counter-argument I'll often hear is: "Well, the music still depicts a mood…ergo, it's atmospheric, and if it's atmospheric, that means it's ambient!"
My counter-counter-argument would then be: well, since ALL music typically depicts some kind of mood - regardless of whether it's one you enjoy hearing or not (yes, even predictable cash-grab pop music you might totally hate and groan about can still depict a mood) - then therefore shouldn't ALL music by this logic be considered "ambient"…?
My favorite counter-counter-counter-argument to date has been along the lines of: "yeah, but - it's got a lot of reverb so it's REALLY ambient!"
D'oh! ;)
Again, I'm not going to call one right and one wrong - one person's ambient soundscape is another person's "Awww, that's justa buncha SOUNDS, mannnnn!"….just like any other style of music. Or visual art. Or literature.
I just find it somewhat interesting how increasingly all-inclusive ambient music seems to be becoming in the eyes/ears of some people.
As always, Your Mileage May Vary.™ :)

TEXOMA -- Are allergies bothering you today? Local allergists say Cedar trees and Juniper trees are high in count right now.
The strong winds Sunday and Monday only caused more irritation for people. Dr. John Van Wagoner, M.D., a Certified Board Allergist explains the best medicine to take for your symptoms.
"If they are just runny, sneezy, itchy, watery then just do over the counter antihistamines . Take Alegra, or Clariton would be a-fore-po. But if stuffy is part of the game then a decongestant would be helpful to add to that, so do a Zertec-D or Alegra-D or Clariton-D."
Those medicines are behind the counter so you will need to ask for them. For daily medication to prevent allergies from even starting, allergists suggest a nasal steroid spray.
"If you are going to play the as needed game with the medicines then doing the Zertec, Alegro, or Clariton is probably the way to go. But if you are willing to do something daily then nasal steroid spray is much more likely to induce or prevent symptoms," says Van Wagoner, M.D.

We live in the age of the app. Our gadget driven culture is always seeking the new piece of technology that will improve our lives. Everyone wants the latest upgrade and state of the art kit which gets people talking.
It may surprise you to know that you can get gizmos for your bathroom. Electricity and water are not the greatest of bedfellows. They do not get on too well together but these devices are all safe and will help you to make a 21st century bathroom.
Waterproof TVs in your bathroom
If you want to get into a lather while watching your favourite soap while you relax in your roll top bath then you can by installing a waterproof TV. You can soak away and keep up to date with the current goings on in your favourite drama while you bathe.
These tellys are all HD ready and have Freeview installed. You can connect them to Sky as well so you can watch the match from your bath. Make sure you don't celebrate too wildly when your team scores or you may soak the bathroom.
Hi-fi in your bathroom
Many people have a portable radio in the bathroom that they put on when they are having their morning shower as they get ready for work. A few us will sing along to the tunes that come on thankful that bathroom acoustics always make us sound slightly better.
However, you could add to your bathroom a multi-room hi-fi system. Waterproof speakers can be concealed in the ceiling and your walls. So if you want to do some dirty dancing to your favourite tunes while you get yourself clean you can.
Hi-tech toilet in your bathroom
We are all used to our bath, toilet and basin doing the jobs that we expect of them. We certainly don't expect our lavatory to act as a home health service.
In Japan you get a loo that will record your weight, body mass index, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It will then beam the results to your computer. You can then monitor the results and if you are worried you can then go and see your doctor.
It may be a bit embarrassing if you have to tell the medic that your toilet warned you that your blood pressure was creeping up a bit.
Talented taps in your bathroom
You may have come across taps that are motion guided and only come on when you move your hand underneath. These clever taps help to reduce water wastage and will give your bathroom a Starship Enterprise vibe.
Yet there are bath taps that are really intelligent. You've been for a walk in the country and are really muddy. You need a bath but you have to get round to Aunty Mary's house and by the time you have got home and run the bath you will be late.
There are taps that you can control from your phone. So you can run your bath on the way back and it will there ready for you to plunge in, watch TV and still get to Aunties on time.

Lincoln County saw a record number of meth lab busts in 2013, and investigators tell WBTV tracking your purchases added to their success.
Sheriff David Carpenter said his department uses an online data system known as NPLEx. The online database allows investigators to track cold medicine purchases.
It's a tool Carpenter said has changed the way separate departments work together to track meth manufacturers.
"The new tactics that our drug investigators used, or are currently using, led to those busts that we had, which was record breaking for us." Carpenter said.
Lincoln County drug investigators raided 22 meth labs in 2013. The county only reported six meth labs in 2012.
While law enforcement agencies have had success battling the meth epidemic, they are not alone in their efforts.
Pharmaceutical companies, like Acura, have changed their products, making it more difficult for people to convert cold medicine into methamphetamine.
Company leaders said it is similar to the technology they used to hinder the abuse of pain-killers.
"There is a connection between pseudoephedrine and meth, and we have applied similar technologies to pseudoephedrine to make it very, very difficult for meth cooks to convert or extract pseudoephedrine for conversion into meth," said Brad Rivet, Acura Pharmaceuticals.
Acura sells their meth-resistant cold product nationwide.
As for the NPLEx system, it is used in 27 states, including North Carolina.
Local authorities tell WBTV there is no arguing its effectiveness, but there is a downside. Some feel the NPLEx system compromises customer privacy.
"There is a down side to it just to the fact that you know the vast number of folks are innocent folks but you are logged in for the purchase of cold medicine," Sheriff Carpenter said.
It's a privacy debate that was sidelined when state leaders signed the use of NPLEx into law and authorized use in 2012.

Life of Letter 10marketing, design, travel, and my thoughts
Archive for July, 2011
In Memory of our Dreams
I haven't written anything in a while for several reasons…one I have been busy, two there is a lot going on in our world and three, Kami and I have been thinking about something we can do for our son, Lukas' birthday. Lukas was stillborn on August 11, 2010. We want to remember him and support some of our favorite baby loss charities at the same time. So here is what we came up with…
We are going to collect pictures of friends, family, readers…whomever wants to send us one. We will be donating $5 to two of our favorite baby loss charities (Faces of Loss and March of Dimes) for each picture we receive. We want you to send us pictures of you, or family, your children or all of the above with at least one green balloon. Why a green balloon? Green makes us think of our son. He was born in August so his birthstone is Perodit which is olive-green and we were about a week away from painting his room green when he was born still. Feel free to be as creative or plain as you want to be with this, but have fun and take the time to remember someone you have lost.
Also take this moment to truly appreciate your children and all that they do. Believe us, they are a blessing and their lives should be celebrated each day. We would love to get 100 pictures from different individuals (we aren't made of money but we will donate as much as we can in support of these great causes!). You can email your picture to my wife at email@example.com by our son's birthday, August 11, and we are going to pull all the images together and create a collage to commemorate the occasion.
Of course we will be updating you both on here and at Kami's blog of some of the pics we get and how much money we are raising. Also if you want to contribute more to these causes that support those dealing with baby loss and researching causes then please feel free to do so in the name of our son, Lukas Clark Moore, or in the name of a child you have lost. No amount is too small. We believe that even those that don't spend much time on earth can have a legacy and we want our son's to be one of love and support of others…this is our small way of remembering.
About the charities…Faces of Loss is one of the first resources Kami found online after the loss of Lukas. It truly helped us understand that we are not alone and offers support and answers to questions for mothers and fathers dealing with baby loss. Knowing that you are not alone in this tragedy helps you learn to survive. The second is March of Dimes which is always working to make stronger, healthier babies. Part of their mission is to research the problems that threaten the health of babies.
MLB All-Star Game…great trip!
So I am behind on blogging…for sure. I get so busy and then my thoughts slip my mind. My wife had a great post about our recent trip to the All-Star Game on her blog (onpinsandneedles.net) and I wanted to share my thoughts as well.
I was so surprised when Kami told me that she had gotten me tickets to the All-Star game as a gift for our 10th anniversary. She totally kicked my butt at anniversary gifts this year…hands down. Baseball has always meant more to me than just a sport. It was always something my family did together, whether one of us was playing or we were attending it was the one thing we all got together around. I remember growing up and going to college and high school games, playing in hundreds of games and now going back with my wife, my father, my brother or all of us together. One of the last things Kami and I did while she was pregnant with our son Lukas was go to Chicago and catch a Cubs game. We had a great time and enjoyed the game and the city. That long weekend in Chicago has changed how baseball games affect me more than I realized before last week.
Don't get me wrong…I still love baseball. The strategy, the atmosphere, the game are still excite me and I can watch games pretty much nonstop. The one thing that gets me now is that I see so many fathers with their sons enjoying the games. They are eating hot dogs, wearing their gloves, talking about the game and hoping for a foul ball. They support the same teams and players and cheer together the successes. They are making memories. I know that I will never get to make those memories with my son. I have accepted it. It just changes my perspective. I was able to make those memories with my father and I have great ones…I had no idea that baseball could become such a source for longing.
Kami and I had a great time together…we loved the opportunity to just get a way for a few days, be around people we don't know and will most likely never see again. It is amazing to me how much that alone can help. The game and all the festivities surrounding it were spectacular and it was an all around great trip. I am so glad I was able to spend it with my wife and I am so thankful that she has grown to like baseball as well. We saw some great entertainment from Cee Lo Green and Jordan Sparks and we were fortunate enough to be able to attend several VIP events that MLB puts on and they are always a great time…they really know how to throw a party! Phoenix was a great city to host the events and Tempe was a great place to stay. It is easy to get around and believe it or not it was actually cooler in Arizona than it was back home in Tulsa during that week! It was still hot, but you know…its a dry heat there. I have to say Chase Field was a great ballpark, the air conditioned stadium was the perfect place to watch a game in the desert. Our seats were great and while All-Star games are not always the best game it is still fun to watch the games best perform.

Rachel Uchitel Goes to NYC After Tiger Woods Buys Apartment There
We called a Uchitel reunion!
We reported Tuesday morning that Tiger Woods moved into a Manhattan apartment over the weekend, less than a week after his divorce with Elin Nordegren became final. And look who's just flown into New York: yep, Tiger Woods mistress #1 Rachel Uchitel. Told you this wasn't over!
Rachel Uchitel returned to New York City to visit Ground Zero where her one-time fiance, James O'Grady, was killed in the September 11 attacks nine years ago. Uchitel's Ground Zero appearance occurred last Thursday, according to insiders, which means her visit to New York coincided exactly with Tiger's time there.
Woods played in the Barclays tournament just across the Hudson River from Manhattan in Paramus, New Jersey, beginning last Thursday. Then, over the weekend, he reportedly introduced himself to neighbors in his new downtown apartment building..
Rachel Uchitel's New York City trip happened under the guise that she simply wanted to visit her late fiance's place of death to get closure as part of filming for "Celebrity Rehab." Producers for the show are insisting that Uchitel was in search of healing, and one "Celeb Rehab" insider is quoted saying, "The audience will truly see a side of Rachel that no one has publicly ever seen."
READ: Elin Nordegren's Huge Post-Divorce Purchase
Actually we've never seen any side of Rachel Uchitel because we refuse to watch her on TV -- get a clue, Dr. Drew! Flip through our Rachel Uchitel slideshow and stay with LimeLife for a Woods-and-Uchitel sighting.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The owner of a downtown Los Angeles carwash has cleaned up, selling the property for a reported $25 million.
The Los Angeles Times said Thursday (http://lat.ms/1mI1J6J) that a local developer bought the 36,000-square-foot lot - one of the most sought-after real estate parcels in the area near the LA Live entertainment complex. A high-rise hotel is planned for the site.
The exact price was not disclosed, but owner Robert Bush was asking $25 million for the property that holds the carwash, two restaurants and a ticket-selling business. Experts familiar with the downtown market tell the Times he came close to getting his asking price.
Bush paid $525,000 for the land in 1980.

The Scorpions Land Hollywood Rockwalk Honor
By Celeb Stink 2010-03-24 18:54:26
German rockers The Scorpions are to end their time together with an honor on Hollywood's RockWalk.
The group announced plans to split for good following a two-year farewell tour earlier this year (10), but they're going out with a bang. Bandmates Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Matthias Jabs, James Kottak and Pawel Maciwoda will be honored outside Hollywood's Guitar Center on 6 April (10).
The Scorpions' handprints will reside alongside the handprints, signatures, and faces of other equally accomplished musicians and innovators such as Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. (KL/WN/IG)

A pint served on tap at Bavarian Lodge in Lisle IL
It pours a clear brown color that is just a shade lighter than cola. A two inch head dies down within the first minute to just a small ring of bubbles.
The nose is very heavy on the smoked malt. It's quite nice and underneath that I can detect just a little rye.
The taste is smoky with lots of caramelized sugars. Fairly reminiscent of a nice honey glazed smoked ham without the ham flavor; if that makes sense. I can get just a little rye on the end and if the rye taste would have been more prevalent I think they would have pulled off perfectly what their goal was.
It was served too cold for my liking (more of an establishment critique). The high amounts of smoked malt were a somewhat too harsh on my mouth but still pretty drinkable despite the smoke. I was very excited when I saw this on the tap list and am glad to say it was a very interesting and enjoyable beer. It's making me appreciate and seek out some more smoke beers since their flavor profiles are always a unique one.

Had this on tap at FFF into a nonic pint glass. According to the menu it has 20 IBUs and was brewed in honor of Henry Chinoski and was a collaboration with Johnathon Cutler of Piece Brewery.
A -- a light magohonoy color with stream of golden light and even seems like there is a bit of an orange color haze that also pervades this beer. It was also mildly opaque as only a small amount of light seemed to go through this beer. There was a small white head that sat on top for a few seconds before fading away leaving on a light white head that sat on the sides of the glass.
S - smell is hints of cured meat; mostly ham more than other cured meats and there is also a light smokiness that seems to come forth from this one.There also is a light hint of orange to me that seems a bit out of place and on the whole, don't think this one is all too fragrant.
T - the first taste is a slightly sweet malt that seems to sit on the tongue and give the taste of almost caramel or maple syrup. However, the main taste comes forth which is smoked kielbasa in my opinion. There is a light bit of sweetness that combats some of the smokiness and it almost tastes a bit like a sweet drizzle on the kielbasa. Have to say that the main flavors are truly a kielbasa smokiness especially in the aftertaste as the aftertaste reminds me of the smoked aspect of the meat and even a bit like the greasy, fat aftertaste on gets from eating said kielbasa. Overall, an interesting and unique brew and can definitely saw they reached their goals of making a beer that taste like cured meat.
MF - a nice, thick and full bodied brew that one can definitely tell they are drinking. Almost makes it taste like you are eating a full meal and would say this beer taste and feels like eating a mouthful of kielbasa and sauerkraut. There is a light amount of carbonation and there is also a bit of a greasy coating that is left on the tongue which reminds me of the feeling after eating kielbasa.
D - a beer that would be a perfect replacement for a kielbasa and sauerkraut meal as the smoky meat taste is so prevalent. On the whole I am not too sure as to how I feel about this beer. It is good and interesting and accomplishes its goal but after a while it started to get old and a bit too much for me. The greasy meat aftertaste started to wear on me and really had no desire to have another. On the whole, I would say this is a beer worth trying but not one that I would try again after having the experience once.

A- dark copper color, off white head sticks around for the duration of the beer.
S- Aroma is sweet malts, some smoke, and minimal hops.
T- Really sweet flavor, somewhat smokey but not even close to the band aid flavor I have had in some smoked beers. And like the name implies, there is a very sweet maple glazed ham flavor that lingers through the aftertaste. Very unique.
M- Medium carbonation and a heavy sticky body.
D- Overall this one lives up to its name, but I could not drink more then one of these due to its sweetness. A very unique beer that I am glad I got to try.

A: Amber with a cream colored head.
S: The aroma is definately that of a ham on rye. Very smokey with almost a salty flavor as well.
T: Smoked rye really jumps at you with a very meaty/hammy aftertaste.
M: Medium to heavy in body, yet fairly smooth.
D: Not a session beer. One or two at the absolute most.
A must try beer at least once if you're ever visiting FFF.

On tap at the brewpub...review from notes.
A- Pours a brownish cola color. One and a half finger whtie head that shows medium retention. No real lacing on the beer as I drink it down.
S- Big time rye in the front of this. Smokey meaty aroma in the middle of this combines the two aromas and makes my mouth water. This smells like well....ham on rye!
T- Smokey flavors right off the bat. There is a underlying sweetness to this but only in the front half. A light rye becomes the background but pops up for the middle for a second and stays through the ending. This tastes like a ham on rye through and through.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation was a little lacking I thought. Tastes were smokey and left everywhere from the palate and long into the aftertaste. Flavors blended well together and matched up evenly. No real alcohol drying on the palate.
D- This was a couple and done beer. I enjoyed it a lot for the fact that it tasted like it was suppose too. Smoked beers I like but only a couple pints please.

A pint glass (2 actually) served at the [name removed for privacy purposes, never thought that Ffej would advocate censorship] on 2-Jan-10. My affinity for rye beers is well documented.
A: The ale has a cuprous bronze color, somewhat dark but still translucent. A steady stream of carbonation only results in a modest head on both glasses. Little to no lacing occurred.
S: The ale has a sweet smoky aroma, not overpowering but definitely there, with bacon being prominent. A spicy rye bread body adds additional depth.
T: Much like the nose, the flavor is a one-two punch of smokehouse and thick rye. The smoky flavors are curehouse-like, with a salty, honey ham presence. Rye bread is a strong compliment to the smoke, a thick meaty meal in a glass. The FFF hop profile, normally in your face, is reserved, adding a floral bite near the end of the sip.
M: The mouthfeel is sweet, enhanced by the smoke. Rye adds a firm bready flavor, mildly spiced. A pleasant beer to sip through.
D: I debated having something else after my first glass but realized that it was too good and I must have more! A nicely smoked ale.

Served at a veggie beer dinner at Local Option, paired with brie-stuffed gnocchi, in a smoked tomato butter sauce, with roasted fennel & onion.
Sampled about 12 oz. of this creative brew. It had a thin skim of foam on it when it arrived, but the head retention was poor. The surface had a slightly viscous look to it when swirled. The color was a saturated golden amber.
Intense smoky aroma of cured pork, proscuitto, smoked ham, even bacon. The intensity is greater than Schlenkerla Helles, but not quite to Urbock/Weizen levels. A very nice smokiness, later on it lessens in concentration allowing some bready malt and rye aroma to show through.
Flavors follow the nose, it has a bready, spicy character from the rye malt, and plenty of smoke flavor too. The finish is fairly dry and woody, but the body is a little flaccid without much supporting carbonation. It was a nice pairing with the course, and was mostly sipped at for about 20 minutes or so.
This is a Rauchbier, and meant to be intensely smoky. The authors of low reviews here don't seem to be aware that this is a legitimate beer style.

This was one of the best beers in my opinion that Three Floyds had on tap. I guess they didn't think it was good enough as they no longer brew it and currently have no plans to do so again.
Great dark amber color, one of the best smelling beers ever! It obviously smells very smoky, definitely like smoked meat. Great malt, leaves you feeling kinda thirsty. You definitely need a glass of water after this. Has a very thin head, leaves good lacing on the side of the glass. I would pay good money to see this on tap again at FFF. They really had to cut back on some excellent brews once the economy tanked. I feel their pain, but damn they need to brew this one again!

If you've never watched a video from BBall Breakdown, let me tell you, you're missing out.
As one of the best (if not the best) hardcore basketball sites on the planet, BBall Breakdown and Coach Nick are known for their in-depth analysis of NBA games, though, they recently decided to focus their energy on one of the best games in 90′s history rather than one of recent memory.
So what was it? Something involving the Bulls and the Pistons? Maybe the Bulls and the Trail Blazers? Has to be the Bulls and the Indiana Pacers right? Knicks and Heat? Nope – the Looney Tunes All-Star's and the Monstars, of course.
For any child of the 90′s, Michael Jordan's 'Space Jam', which featured the NBA legend pairing up with your favorite cartoon characters was on constant rotation. Cheesy or not, the star studded flick (not to mention epic soundtrack – I mean, Method Man?!?) created a cult following and Coach Nick decided to recently break down the All-Star's victory over the Monstars. The breakdown is quite amusing to any basketball fan or any fan of Space Jam, though given some of the strange happenings and un-human like moments, the question begs – did the Tunes and MJ use performance enhancing materials to win? Coach Nick breaks it down and gives you an answer below:

With baseball's Opening Day rapidly approaching, let me focus on some baseball matters today. Unless the Cubs' latest certified phenom, Felix Pie, makes the team and gets a starting role, the Cubs look to start a line-up on opening day with eight position players who did not come from their organization. I understand that there is a tsunami of player movement in baseball today but not even one starter signed with the Cubs because a Cubs' scout saw him play and then developed his skills through the Cubs' minor league system? For those of you keeping score at home, that's not a good thing.
The SF Giants are trying to position themselves as an environmentally aware team. They are installing – and perhaps the installation is already completed – 600 solar electric generating panels at the park. They say this demonstrates their commitment to the rational use of energy. Sounds good until a little science kicks in. The output of those panels is nowhere near sufficient to power the lights at the field – let alone all the other electricity that is consumed there; in fact, the output might be able to power two individual residences. But the only reason all of this happened in order to create a perception of consciousness/care/concern on the part of the team; and in this case, the Giants hope that perception takes hold.
Maybe it's actually true that "chicks dig the long ball", but pitching is what provides winners in baseball. And quality pitching is one of the commodities that is in drastically short supply with 30 major league teams. Lately, one of the standard stories during spring training is a team's search for a "solid fifth starter" in their rotation. There's usually a grizzled veteran in contention for that spot with a youngster or two from the club's farm system and maybe even a relief pitcher who is getting a look in a new role for the team. It makes for great copy; it also provides a diversion; it allows fans to ignore the fact that in most cases there aren't four solid starting pitchers in front of the guys who are "fighting for the last spot in the rotation". But spring training is about hope and optimism – not reality. Reality usually sets in sometime around June 10.
Look at the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals' projected rotation. It has two retooled relief pitchers in the #4 and #5 slots. Adam Wainwright and Braden Looper will start games this year. In Looper's case, maybe the Cards have had enough of him coming into games in tight situations and throwing kerosene on the fire. Whatever. These are the defending world champions we're talking about here and that is the status of their projected starting rotation. Yowza!
In NY Mets' general manager, Omar Minaya, was asked about the solidarity of the Mets' starting rotation. Minaya said, "The guys we could have had as free agents, they're not better than the guys we have here." That's vote of confidence if ever I heard one. And when you think of the Mets' pitchers, you think of Tom Glavine and Pedro Martinez – even though Pedro is injured and probably won't pitch until the 4th of July. That's not bad until you get down into the rotation and see names like John Maine, Oliver Perez, Chan Ho Park and Mike Pelfrey. Unless I was hallucinating during the off-season, Dice-K, Barry Zito, Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens were "available". And Omar Minaya likes his quartet better than that one? He may the only Earthling who does.
Curt Schilling will never carry the label, reticent. In one of his rambling commentaries, he reportedly said that he would go to the bullpen if that was what it took to get Roger Clemens to sign on with the Red Sox this season. That makes for good copy during the six weeks of spring training. But I'd like everyone here who believes that to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth to come over to my house this weekend for a 12-hour high stakes poker game. And bring your homeowners' equity line of credit checkbook too…
A longtime friend – in fact we played on the same Little League team together; he was actually a good player and I was not – noticed that the Phillies will need a strong performance from the right arm of Freddy Garcia this season if they hope to make the playoffs. He saw an omen in the Eagles' season last year when another guy named Garcia stepped in, used his right arm effectively and led the Eagles to the playoffs. Who knows; it could happen…
In the golf world, the big news of the moment is "loogiegate"; Sergio Garcia spitting into the hole after he removed his ball. Yes, it is nasty and yes, it demonstrates that Sergio Garcia does not live by the adage that you should always behave as if your mother was standing right next to you. But let's not go off on too great a rhetorical flourish here and say that this behavior needs to be stopped in its tracks because you never know where it could lead. Excuse me, but "loogiegate" is already a step back from where boorish behavior on a golf course has already been. I forget the details but in a tournament within the past year or so, they had to move the pin placement on one of the greens because someone had defecated in the hole. Sergio Garcia demonstrated that whatever class he may possess, it's all second-class. But let's not make "loogiegate" out to be the worst thing to happen on the golf tour since its inception.
On a positive golfing note, the LPGA has taken the lead once again in terms of solid public relations. Recall that the LPGA recently and rightfully granted permission to a young woman to use a cart and haul oxygen around with her to play in LPGA events because of her serious medical condition. Now the LPGA has defined a list of prohibited performance enhancing substances and it will test players in LPGA events next season. I believe that reduces to three the categories of competitors who are not subject to testing:
Pro Poker Players
Pro 'rasslers
PGA Tour golfers
Finally, since most of this was about baseball, here's a note from Dwight Perry in the Seattle Times related to some concerns in the Mariners' camp:
"First it was the health of his closer, and now a sudden crop of fielding gaffes has given Mariners manager Mike Hargrove two things to stew about.
"In other words, Putz and boots."
But don't get me wrong, I love sports…

A hand-crafted dollhouse with so much detail that it took 1500 hours to make.
That is just one of the attractions at the annual Essanhaus toy show which will be held this weekend.
The show features vintage toys...no videogames here.
Organizers say people in Michiana love toys with an old-school twist.
"They've really loved it, they brought their kids and they said it was a great day, they come and have their meal, their breakfast and spent the time looking at toys enjoying the complex here," says Joel Miller of Essanhaus.
The show takes place this Saturday, admission is three bucks.

We have seen the Jazz struggle mightily against smaller teams or teams with a stretch 4 or a stretch 3 playing the 4 position. Basically any team that wants to play small ball with one decent post defender and loves to trap can beat the Jazz. A lot of teams are playing European style basketball now. One post player and 4 outside shooters in the game to space the floor and drive and kick. These kind of teams create mismatches on offense and they just trap and rotate whenever the Jazz try to take advantage of one of their players due to size, strength etc. Houston, Golden State, New York, and even Sacramento to a certain extent have given the Jazz multiple problems.
So what is the deal, why can't the Jazz adjust to this style of basketball? This one goes on coach Corbin!! He seems to be head strong and he refuses to either match up or roll out one of his own versions of small ball. The Jazz come rain or shine play two bigs in the game 95 percent of the time. Rarely do they slide Marvin to the 4 or Hayward to the 4 and go small. Corbin never adjusts to the mismatches and he rarely goes to anyone else in the post other than his big men. You had Jason Kidd guarding Hayward, you had Marvin Williams guarding Smith. Either of those two players could have caused problems in the post on offense when it was clear that Big Al had no intention of fighting for position in the low post. Where was a cross screen on the low block to get better post up position? Where were the back screens and back cuts to combat against pressure being applied on the perimeter? What is going on with the Jazz offense in these games it's terrible. I feel like I'm going back in time whenever I watch a Jazz game. We are like a one trick pony.
What is Corbin's love affair with Earl Watson? The Jazz point guard play and decision making has been terrible against the above teams and pretty much all season. The Jazz fire up bad shot, after bad shot in these kind of games and look completely lost on offense. Really you could make an argument that outside of Tinsley, the Jazz have had no point guard play at all this year. Burks has done OK in spot up duty, however, the Jazz didn't even play him at point guard during the summer league to prepare him for the upcoming season. Again this one goes on Corbin who obviously couldn't coexist with Devin Harris even with his better point guard play down the stretch run last year.
You can add this point guard mess onto the front office as well who obviously couldn't even see that LA had Mo playing the two and shooting 3's instead of playing point guard. I can't help but wonder how a three guard line up of Harris, Mo and Burks would do speed wise. Throw in Favors at center and Hayward at the four and let the Favors dunk fest begin......maybe in an alternate universe some where but not here. Lastly, where exactly was the vision of what this team was supposed to be? a pound it down your throw team? not with Mo playing the point.......I'm just not clear on what we are exactly trying to accomplish with this team? Win and develop? play games that matter? This is a cluster any way you look at it and it's embarrassing especially on national TV!!!!!
If the national TV guys can see whats going on, then why can't the Jazz front office? What are your impressions of this mess Jazz fans??

PALM BEACH, Florida -- With its iconic paintings created by 75 Italian artisans three-quarters of a century ago, four oceanfront pools, nine restaurants, 10 tennis courts, 11 boutiques, 25 luxury beach bungalows, 36 holes of golf, a half-mile of private beach and 2,000 employees, the Breakers, here on an ocean bluff on Florida's coast, stands as a robust symbol of many things:
The vision and creativity of a classic American entrepreneur. The affluence and excess of an international leisure class. The aspirations of a striving American middle class. And the growth of a remarkable American peninsula once regarded as a hopeless backwater overrun by mosquitoes and mobsters, cracker cowboys and crackpot real-estate swindlers.
From the dreamy 1565 delusions of Ponce de Leon to its 1819 acquisition from Spain to its 1860s role as "supplier to the Confederacy" (it sent beef, pork, fish, fruit and salt to rebel troops during the Civil War) and beyond, Florida once was stuck at the literal and imaginative periphery of the country, a place of limitless potential but little prosperity. As late as 1880, the entire state had a population smaller than Lincoln, Neb., the 72nd biggest city in the country, has today.
Then Henry M. Flagler built his hotel beside the Palm Beach breakers, and the guests flocked in by private Pullman cabins. Eventually he extended his rail line south all the way to Miami and finally, amid nearly unendurable building conditions that included three hurricanes, to Key West. That, and the phenomenal growth of the orange trade -- Florida production reached 10 million boxes in 1915 on the way past 230 million a century later -- provide the origins of one of the most remarkable stories of population and economic growth in history.
So much so that maybe today, maybe next week, maybe next month, Florida will surge past New York and become the third biggest state in the country, its population now arching toward 20 million people, surpassed only by California (38 million) and Texas (26 million).

Thousands of customer calls routinely come in to Verizon business offices every day. And on most days they are just that, routine. But one day a routine customer call turned out to be anything but that for Verizon sales and service consultant Sonja Legge, whose quick thinking helped to save the life of a woman experiencing a life-threatening emergency. .
On May 18, Legge, who works at Verizon's customer service call center in Livingston, was assisting a female customer on the telephone when the customer told Legge that she wasn't feeling well. After confirming with the woman that she needed help, Legge immediately notified her supervisor who brought her a cordless phone that she used to call 911. She spoke with an emergency dispatcher and provided the customer's name, address, home and mobile phone numbers.

During difficult economic times, the possibility of domestic violence can escalate within families as tensions mount. Verizon has been a national leader in helping to prevent and educate on domestic violence issues.
Now, New Jersey nonprofit organizations can compete for $200,000 in grants from the Verizon Foundation to support technology-based programs to combat domestic violence through awareness, prevention and recovery in under-served communities across New Jersey.

Becoming more energy efficient isn't just cost effective; it's environmentally friendly and makes the country less dependent on outside sources of energy.
Verizon and the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently signed a memorandum of understanding to develop innovative ways to reduce energy use in the information and communications technology industry. This is a first-of-its-kind agreement between an industry company and a national laboratory owned by the Energy Department.

Diversity is an important part of Verizon's approach to its customers and employees. A diverse employee body that reflects a company's customer base is important in being able to relate and communicate. It also brings a wealth of creative approaches in how we work and interact with each other and our customers.
So, it's no surprise when Verizon is recognized by external organizations for our efforts. Recently Black Enterprise magazine has named Verizon to the publication's list of 40 Best Companies for Diversity for the sixth time.
The elite companies were selected based on their commitment to diversity in four key areas - employee base, senior management representation, supplier diversity and board of directors. Verizon was singled out as one of only four companies to demonstrate significant strength in all four areas. The 40 Best Companies for Diversity list is featured in the July issue of Black Enterprise, now available on newsstands, and on the publication's website.

Police in Bridgeton are investigating an early morning shooting that happened when the victim says he grabbed a gun that he thought was fake.
Just before 12:30am, police arrived at the Amity Heights apartments where a man was shot twice when two men who were trying to rob him.
Authorities say the victim was sitting in a car when two men approached him, pointed a handgun at him and demanded money. The victim got out of the vehicle and attempted to grab the handgun, thinking it was fake.
The assailant then fired five shots, and the victim was hit once in the hand and once in the thigh. He was treated at a hospital and released.

What some Rockford aldermen call a balanced budget has had some unbalanced opinions about one item regarding geographic policing. The city's moving forward with this initiative to split the police department into thirds. Monday night, city council members came to an agreement on the $320 million 2013 spending plan for the most part. Aldermen have voted it down twice in the past few weeks. It's amended this time, but even that change didn't bring with it unanimous support. It passed 11-1, with 13th Ward Alderman Linda McNeely voting no. 14th Ward Alderman Bill Robertson has been absent due to illness.
Aldermen Frank Beach and Carl Wasco want answers. City council members approved their amendment giving administrators 60 days to complete a fiscal impact analysis of moving police into the geographic policing model permanently.
"It's not about just this year, it's where are we going and can we afford it?" -says Wasco.
They're also asking for a look at the cost of officers staying in the Public Safety Building. Alderman McNeely believes the city doesn't have enough money to fund new locations. She'd like to see the department work with what it has now.
"I don't think that we have the manpower to support three different locations so to me, what I think would be best for the city, is to take those fundings, we would own the property, we'd rehab it and then we'd have more funding also for more police officers." -she says.
Once aldermen get this analysis back, that'll determine their support for geo-policing.

Falloux Law, (1850) act granting legal status to independent secondary schools in France. It was sponsored by Count Frédéric-Alfred-Pierre de Falloux (1811–86), minister of education in the Second Republic, and one of its main architects was a Roman Catholic bishop, Félix-Antoine-Philibert Dupanloup (1802–78). Under the guise of freedom of education, it restored much of the church's traditional influence.

If the just concluded elections in Uttar Pradesh have been phenomenally significant on account of the acknowledgement of Dalit leadership in a state that has traditionally been the high-seat of Brahminism in North India, a collateral consequence has been the unequivocal rejection of the hegemony of the RSS and its many street-level mujahids who were let loose there during the course of the event.
Nor is it a matter of small satisfaction to the polity as a whole that the BJP should have had to make an abject public apology for the venomous Compact Disc it issued formally, and to condemn it.
At both ends, the occurrence stoutly emphasizes that India's republican democracy carries a dynamic which neither casteism of the long-entrenched nor communalism of the RSS are strong enough to thwart, whatever the price.
Speaking of price, two young and talented art students at the M.S. University, Vadodra are now paying it—an ugly reminder that Mullah Modi remains recalcitrantly committed to snuffing out the least expression of freedom that contravenes the fascist edicts of lumpen, majoritarian gangs. Clearly, Modi has failed to take in the message that the elections in U.P. have delivered. Having effectually seceded from the secular, democratic republic, Mullah Modi thinks he can keep Gujarat forever outside the reach of national preference and sanity. He ought to think again, and before too long. Let him note that none other than Maneka Gandhi has now felt impelled to counsel Advani in a document released to the press and the public that "we offend the entire cultural and thinking world" in the way artists are treated. Maneka Ji deserves the nation's compliments.
Lest any secular and well-meaning mullahs—which is a preponderant majority—should take offence at my use of that term to define Modi, I hasten to the point that is sought to be made. Put simply, the stark irony of the day is that while in Pakistan "Mian Musharraf" is fighting a grim battle against the Talibani cultural fascists on behalf of the secular and liberal citizens of that country, here in India it is Modi who continues to wear the mantle of the Hindutva Taliban. Clearly, the "Mian" shines in contrast to the "Mullah" in Gujarat.
Come to think of it, if since the carnage in 2002 it is the likes of Sreekumar, Geeta Johri, Rajneesh Rai, Citizens for Peace and Justice and other Gandhian organizations, and hundreds of ordinary men and women striving across communities against tormenting odds who have indomitably kept alive the hope of renewal, after the disclosures of the murders committed in Gujarat with tacit state endorsement, and the lessons of the UP elections in mind, it is time for the whole nation to rise as one against the practice of fascism in Gujarat.
As to the tom-tomed "developmental" achievements of Mullah Modi, let it be remembered that the wonderful Autobahns in Germany were largely built by Hitler's say-so. And both Hitler and Modi seek "development" to enrich corporates who have next to no stakes in democracy or the lives of ordinary millions. Nor should it be forgotten that just as Hitler had no use or place for Jews in his Nazi-racist grand vision, Modi has reduced Gujarat's muslim Indians to a state of existence that everyday reminds us of those unfortunate Jews. It is another deep irony, of course, that the Zionist state of Israel today replicates the same kind of "apartheid" (Jimmy Carter's appellation) against Palestinian and other Arabs muslims as the Jews that comprise it not long ago experienced at the hands of the Nazis. What surprise then that Hindutva fascist should so want to transform the Indian republic into a Hindutva-Zionist state!
It is time to insist that lumpen vigilante hounds will no longer have a field day at unraveling the republic brick by bloody brick. Just as it is time to remind the Indian state that should it continue to be greedily laggard at meeting and enforcing the covenant it has made with "we the psople" it may not have much leeway or breathing space left to it either. Look where you will in India, and people are increasingly willing to take things into their own hands. Should that be allowed to happen, then Mullah Modi's hounds will not be the only ones manning the streets and the barricades.

Jake Westbrook has now had 5 fairly successful starts as a Cardinal. In those five starts he's had ERAs of 3 vs Houston, 3.86 vs Florida, 4.5 vs San Francisco, and recently a much less impressive 6 vs Pittsburgh. WHIP-wise, Westbrook started out with a very impressive .83 and .86 as a Cardinal. Since then it's been mostly around 1.17 but vs San Fran he walked 2 batters and gave up the most hits since becoming a Cardinal. Also, 31 strikeouts in 5 games has been a nice little bonus... especially since he's also pitched 31 innings (over 6 innings per start). He's induced at least 10 ground balls in each start, 14 vs the Cubs 13 vs Houston.
To conclude, Westbrook's ERA as a Cardinal is 4.07 so far. In the month of August his 3.04 FIP is second only to Wainwright, and his 2.57 xFIP is the best in the rotation (5th in the majors). And Westbrook leads the majors in August in GB/FB ratio... the ultimate 21st century Cardinals pitching holy grail.
I'm not really sure how to look up WAR for his first 5 Cardinal games but I'm sure he's been quite an asset to the team. Especially once the defense behind him is a little more regular (please no more Lopez at shortstop! or at third! or any Aaron Miles). Anyway, I've compiled some pitch f/x on him from http://www.brooksbaseball.net. Other stats and info from fangraphs.com.
First off, his last start which was probably his weakest start yet.
10 swinging strikes low in the zone.... most of them actually balls. That's good to see he's still fooling hitters. A lot of called strikes in the strike zone as well. Still there are more pitches in spots that seem pretty dangerous than I would like to see! He's pretty much all over the place in this start.
Vs. the Giants, he also sprayed the strikezone and all around it, getting less swinging strikes down in the zone.
Also vs. the Giants, here's a spin axis vs speed graph:
Jake tops out at 92mph and can dial it all the way down to 77mph on offspeed pitches.
Here's the same type of pf/x but for his last start vs the Pirates:
This time he drops all the way down to 76mph on one pitch and is a tad over 92mph it looks like on the top end. Different spin also.
I don't have a whole lot to say about these but I haven't seen a pitch f/x post recently so I'm hoping to get some discussion started about Westbrook and how he seems to be a great fit for the Cardinals pitching style.
Lastly here are two cool looking graphs plotting spin corrected by release point. They look cool heh.
Lastly, some links to his other starts: Cubs Marlins Astros

"What an incredible turnout!"
"I am humbled by the overwhelming response of our people."
"This is so much more than anyone could have imagined."
Those are just three of the numerous comments made at the Diocese of Raleigh's Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine in Washington, DC, Saturday, April 12. More than 1500 men, women and children traveled, in most cases, more than 250 miles to be part of this special day in the life of the Church of eastern North Carolina. The large gathering, which filled the Upper Church of the Basilica, caused even the Shrine staff, which hosts similar events, to marvel at the turnout.
The Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge said that since he arrived in the Diocese in August, 2006, he has been deeply moved by the faith and enthusiasm of the people. He added that the response of the faithful who journeyed to pay tribute to the patroness of the Church and the Diocese of Raleigh is one more sign that the Church in the Diocese is vibrant and alive.
In both his official greeting and in his homily, the Bishop thanked the pilgrims for the great effort and sacrifice they undertook for this special occasion. Approximately 380 people departed Friday, most on buses from locations throughout the Diocese, spending Friday night in a hotel outside Washington. The remainder bused or drove up on Saturday morning.
In his welcome, Bishop Burbidge pointed out that the Basilica belongs to all the bishops of the United States and therefore all the people. "We are in your Church today. We are in Mary's home."
He asked the faithful to take time during the day for reflection, adding, "The Lord will speak to you." He also asked for prayers for three Diocesan intentions:
Father JaVan Saxon, Pastor of Saint Mary Church in Laurinburg, offered a reflection on "Our Blessed Mother" in English in the Upper Church and Father Fernando Torres, Pastor of Immaculate Conception Church in Clinton, offered a reflection on Our Lady in Spanish in the Lower, Crypt Church. Both reflections were followed by the Rosary. The day also included Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. It concluded with Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist.
"We have journeyed to this Basilica Shrine as pilgrims," the Bishop began in his homily, "as one diocesan church with a rich diversity.
"As pilgrims who travel in the company of one another, we renew today our trust in the Lord's abiding presence, for He is the one who leads us today and always, the One who guides us on the right path."
The Bishop cited Pope Benedict XVI's recent encyclical, Spe Salvi, where the pope compares life on earth to "a voyage on a sea, often dark and stormy, a voyage in which we watch for the stars that guide us on our route." The Holy Father had noted that, while Christ is the "true light," to reach our destination, "we need lights close by – people who shine with His light and so lead us along our way. Who more than Mary could be a star of hope for us?"
Bishop Burbidge spoke of Mary's acceptance of what God asked of her and called on each of each us to say "yes" to God's call. "I renew my 'yes' to be a shepherd for you after the heart of Christ," the Bishop pledged, and then called on priests, deacons, consecrated religious, married couples, seminarians, single people and young people to renew their own "yes."
"Mary Immaculate, Mother of God, Mother of the Church, pray for us," the Bishop concluded, "so that each and every day we may say 'yes' to the Lord and His ways."
Sue Cheney, a confirmation coordinator at Holy Redeemer by the Sea Church in Kitty Hawk, made the pilgrimage with six students from her parish, five of whom will receive Confirmation this year. She called it an excellent opportunity to provide the young people with a deeper understanding of the diocesan church and their faith. Cheney said the students used the travel time to review the questions and answers that they will need to know prior to receiving the Sacrament.
Nicetas Juanillo, a native of the Philippines, and parishioner of Saint Mildred in Swansboro, said the pilgrimage was a moving experience and added that she was brought to tears by the music of the Diocesan Choir during the Benediction.
Lewin Warren of Saint Michael the Archangel Church in Cary said he and his wife recently made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He is looking to deepen his relationship with God and said the pilgrimage offered him that opportunity.
Cheney, Juanillo and Warren's interviews can be viewed below along with reflections from other pilgrims.

I was just kind of thinking about this last night at work so I decided to make a post of it. Disclaimer: I am by no accounts an expert but just kind of wanted to put this up just for something for us to do in the boring off season. So...
Drafted 8th overall in the 2009 draft by the Cincinnati Reds. He bats and throws right, is 6'1'', 190 lbs. and last year was Leake's age 22 season (born 11-12-87).
Here is a scouting report on Leake written on April 5th of last year on fangraphs:
"Leake was a favorite amongst MLB teams as an advanced college pitcher that should make the Majors quickly. The right-hander did not have the best stuff in the draft but he still produced solid numbers: 1.71 ERA, 6.0 H/9, 1.5 BB/9 and 10.3 K/9. He also allowed just four home runs in 142.0 innings of work.
The Pre-Game Scouting Report: Leake's fastball is said to be in the 88-94 mph range and it sits 89-91 mph. It is also said to have natural cutting action and good movement. When he's on, he should produce a good number of ground-ball outs. As for his secondary stuff, he is said to have a 79-82 mph slider, a solid change-up and a show-me curveball. His control is good, his command is plus. Just 6'0", he's athletic, durable, and has good mound presence."
Leake's 2010 line spending the entire year with the Reds:
8-4 22GS 138.1IP 158H 5.9SO/9 3.2BB/9 1.86K/BB 1.2HR/9 4.23ERA 1.496WHIP 94ERA+ 4.68FIP 4.31xFIP
His month of May was actually far superior to any of his other months of 2010 and made this line what it is.
Drafted in the 28th round of 2006 (830 overall). He bats and throws left, is 6'3'' and 215lbs. and last year was Owens' age 22 season (born 12-18-87).
Here a scouting report from Owens' piratesprospects.com page:
"Owens is 6′ 3″, 215 pounds, but throws his fastball in the 88-91 MPH range. He doesn't project to have an increase in velocity in the future, although his fastball control is enough to make him such a valued prospect. Owens can locate his fastball wherever he wants, and complements that with his curveball and changeup.
The curveball is something Owens has worked on in the last year. Owens wasn't effective in 2008 with his slider, and the Pirates had him switch to a curveball in 2009, which acts like a slurve. Owens feels good about the pitch, using it as a strikeout pitch to complement his excellent fastball control. Owens had a .214 BAA versus right handers in 2009, which shows that his changeup was also very effective.
Owens has the potential to be a very special pitcher. He has exceptional control over his fastball, and he has two great pitches to complement the fastball. He works fast, and throws strikes consistently. He will be adding a two seam fastball to the mix next season, which should give him another solid weapon for his arsenal. A left handed starter with exceptional control, and three strong pitches is rare to have, and it would only be better if he learns success with the two seam fastball."
Owens' 2010 line after spending the entire year with AA Altoona:
So the question(s) I ask of you is this: Who is better going forward? Is it Owens' for being left handed, still having the benefit of being brought along slowly in the minors, plus adding a 2 seamer this year? Or is Leake the better pitcher for making the jump straight to MLB at the same age and putting up a respectable line? Will Leake get better or suffer from being rushed to MLB?
