In defense of Doug Melvin
Baseball May 21st, 2010
I don't know how it happened. I don't know when it happened, but somehow at some point I became a Doug Melvin apologist. I don't think that Doug Melvin should be fired. I think Doug Melvin should be signed to be the team's GM forever. As the Brewers have now lost their last 9 games seemingly everyone is calling for the head of Doug Melvin. I don't agree with them. I looked all over the internet and I could only find one other person who agreed with me, his name is Al. (FYI, We did this before the Brewers won yesterday.) Warning, this be long.
MPD: As of this writing the Brewers have now lost 8 games in a row. Of the eight games I would say that five of the games were lost by the starters and two were lost by the bullpen (with the final game being Sunday's against the Phillies which I would say was lost by one centimeter of Corey Hart's bat.) Now, everyone is calling for people to be fired. Some I agree with (Hoffman), some I could care less about because it won't make a difference (Macha) and the final one, I just don't understand. That final one is Doug Melvin, the mustached general manager. People are saying that because he put the team together that sucks right now that he should be fired for it. It's not just casual fans, it's diehards fans too and the argument is is logical. After all, he is the one who signed Doug Davis, Trevor Hoffman, Jeff Suppan, LaTroy Hawkins and throughout his GM career he's never been good with the pitchers. Those pitchers I mentioned are the ones that have underperformed and someone has to take the blame for them, but to me it shouldn't be Doug Melvin. Everyone who has performed poorly does not have a track record of performing this poorly and you can't blame Doug Melvin for that.
Trevor Hoffman has been awful, but he showed zero signs of decline last season. He is throwing the same pitches at the same speed he always has, but he's missing his spots. Does that mean he is done? Or is it something else?
Doug Davis hasn't been great, but he's also faced some bad luck (.415 BABIP.)
LaTroy Hawkins was hurt.
Claudio Vargas? Well, you can't win em' all.
Todd Coffey has had five bad outings and 15 shutout ones, but he's on pace for a lot of innings right now. That can't be good.
In your opinion Al, what has been wrong with this pitching staff, whose fault is it and what can be done to fix it? Read the rest of this entry »

Aside from rather slow shipping we are very pleased with this purchase! The price was incredible with the discount code we used. We ordered the navy/ivory 6' round rug. The rug is made of 100% wool and made in India. the rug is soft enough to be comfortable on the feet but also sturdy enough that I expect this rug to wear well for years to come.The navy color was slightly more royal blue than we desired but we are still very happy with the product and would certainly order from this website again.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I ordered the cream/beige rug and it is perfect. 9x12. Great price. Comfy and calming.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is super soft and is ADORABLE! I think the price is spot on and they were nice enough to give me a coupon when I called and asked about name brand rugs not being included in the average sales. The rug is perfect for our little girls nursery and adds tons of charm. The size is great and the quality is great. I love how it feels on my feet and I know my baby will be cozy crawling or playing on the rug. ***NOTE*** The white is 100% ivory/cream not white white. I wanted white white but I was able to get over it and now I am totally find with the ivory/cream. It look natural. BUT if you are looking for stark white then do not pick this rug. My baby furniture is white white and I actually think the ivory/cream is a nice way to soften the room. A must buy at a great price. It shipped really fast too and came nice and rolled up, easy to unroll. I will certainly order more. I'm a happy customer.

Amy Elliott, a Cleveland resident is one of the stars on Discovery's "The Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius" airing Wednesdays at 10 p.m. The eight-week series premiered May 1 on Discovery Channel, presenting seemingly impossible engineering challenges to 10 contestants to see who will become America's next great innovator.
Elliott, who has an IQ of 128, is currently pursuing a doctorate in mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech with a focus in 3D printing. After serving as an apprentice machinist for six months, she used her metalworking skills to build robots, spending several years with First Robotics and NASA Robotics Academy. She also worked for the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center for three years, where she designed and machined an experimental setup to test bearings, giving her a wealth of experience to rely on while competing on The Big Brain Theory.
Explaining how she ended up on the show, Elliott said, "My husband, Sam Elliott, was born and raised in Cleveland and currently resides there. I live in Cleveland part time while I'm finishing my dissertation at Virginia Tech. Pilgrim Studios sent out a casting call to my school via email. I replied to the email with a description of myself and they encouraged me to make a video. I made a video and they flew me out to Los Angeles for an audition. Apparently I did very well!! The whole interview process was super exciting."
"The series features some of the greatest young minds in America," said Kal Penn, the show's host who previously starred in the hit film franchise "Harold & Kumar."
Penn, who worked on outreach to young Americans in the White House, added, "There is a lot at stake within the show itself, and in terms of what it signifies. It's awesome to be part of such an exciting new series for Discovery Channel that celebrates all the amazing things our generation can do through creative thinking, the arts and STEM — science, technology, engineering and math."
While each contestant has a different level of experience, they all have one thing in common — the desire to win. The winner of the competition will earn $50,000 and a one-year contract to work at WET, the industry leader behind some of the world's most innovative water-based designed environments and experiences, including the nine-acre choreographed lake of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
"What you'll see in this competition is true innovation under hyper-real world conditions: extremely demanding challenges, limited resources and limited time," said Mark Fuller, series judge and CEO of WET. "The pressure that the contestants face plays out on camera with some who skyrocket with ideas, leadership and invention — and others who do a full phase meltdown under the intense pressure."
Elliott, 26, said, "Filming the show was just an amazingly fun experience. There were times where I was just sick with stress but had to push onward, and there were times where I was just totally excited and grateful to be there. One of my favorite things about being a cast on a show like this was that we had our every little need taken care of. They brought us all our meals, bought any items that we needed, drove us around and had everything planned out for us. We were really spoiled! But of course the best part of the whole thing was meeting such awesome engineers — the cast — and getting to work on such ridiculous engineering challeges — it was like the engineering Olympics!"
The cameras also capture the intense pressure in the design workshop, as well as in the living quarters where all the competitors must deal with each other's egos and personalities.
In the first episode, Elliott and the other contestants had to develop a solution to stop a set of explosives from detonating. But the catch was that the explosives were strapped to the back of two pick-up trucks heading toward a high-speed, head-on collision! With 30 minutes on the clock, the competitors had to come up with a solution to complete the challenge.
Other challenges include creating a machine that can cook and arrange a meal for a group of starving tourists near the Santa Monica Pier; building a portable bunker that can be deployed in five minutes and is able to withstand fire, pressurized water and winds from a jet engine; and constructing a robot capable of competing in three different athletic events.
A panel of expert judges determine the two strongest engineering concepts based on logic and design. The two competitors with the best plans become captains and select a team to execute their visions in just three days. The team that successfully completes the challenge remains safe, but the losers must face the judges, who determine which contestant will be eliminated.
"We are incredibly excited about this series and how it combines the drama of a competition show with the world of science, technology and engineering," said Nancy Daniels, executive vice president of production and development for the Discovery Channel. "We hope that it not only entertains our viewers, but inspires young people to get more involved."
According to Elliot, filming of the series went on last October to December, "but I've been keeping this thing a secret for a year now!" she said. "I'm so glad all my family a friends can finally see the experience I had! I will be moving to Cleveland full time, hopefully at the end of this summer. My soon-to-be hometown of Cleveland should watch the show and get excited about science and engineering!"
Craig Piligian, the series executive producer, said, "Creating a competition series that brings together both an educational opportunity and remarkable inventions by 'regular' people was something we've wanted to do for a long time."
Now that the show is a hit, Elliott and her husband are ready to created their own concept for success. Elliott, who calls herself the 'Martha Stewart' of engineering because she can do it all, say, "My husband and I would love to start a makerspace in Cleveland. It's basically like a gym but instead of exercise equipment, there are tools like laser cutters, 3D printers, tables saws, mill, lathe, etc. They are starting one in Chattanooga so we're excited about bringing that to the Cleveland area some time soon."
You can follow Amy Elliott on twitter: @amytheengineer for live updates during the show and visit her website at www.amytheengineer.com for her take on each episode.

Cataloging Maintenance Center
Supported by the Illinois State Library, the current Cataloging Maintenance Center is operated by the Illinois Heartland Library System with staff in two locations, Champaign and Edwardsville. Since 2001, the CMCs have been upgrading bibliographic records for Local Library System Automation Programs (LLSAPs) throughout the state. While continuing to do that, the CMC is also a source for other cataloging assistance.
The mission of the Illinois Cataloging Maintenance Center (CMC) is to provide cataloging support in the following areas:
- Database cleanup
- Original or copy cataloging of eligible collections (providing services free of charge through FY2014)
- Cataloging training
- Assistance with general cataloging questions, including questions on RDA (Resource Description and Access)
Eligibility & Guidelines
- The CMCs will provide original or copy cataloging of eligible collections for any library in Illinois that is an LLSAP member or that receives a grant requiring holdings to be set in OCLC WorldCat.
- Eligible collections will be cataloged free of charge. At the present time, eligible collections include genealogy, local history, and special collections (i.e., local authors, community cookbooks, government documents, etc.).
Eligible collections of material in most modern European languages can be accommodated. Since resource sharing is always the highest priority, availability of the collection (if tangible) via circulation or interlibrary loan is important. Uniqueness of material is also important.
- Before sending your items in for cataloging, please contact the CMC to determine eligibility.
- The CMC will create an original bibliographic record in OCLC or will supply an existing OCLC record. Records are then exported to the local database according to LLSAP's procedures. In some cases this means OCLC MARC records will be sent electronically to your LLSAP support staff for loading. The CMC will not create item/holding records in LLSAPs for individual copies.
- Items may be sent to either location through System delivery (within IHLS) or ILDS (libraries in the RAILS service area). Please provide contact information and make sure return labeling is included.
- Items will be cataloged in the order they are received with turnaround time varying depending on the scope of the project and other factors.
- In some circumstances, CMC staff may be able to come to your library to complete the cataloging. Travel by CMC staff will be on a limited basis, depending on several factors (i.e. accommodations, availability, distance, size of collection to be cataloged, condition of collection, etc.). Wifi capability is required.

Single-portion packages, custom-designed containers, tote bags and pouch bags are some of the packaging trends making an impact on the fresh produce industry this year.
Many suppliers and retailers also are using packaging as a communications tool.
"What has consistently worked in the market for retail grocers is to utilize packaging as an effective communications vehicle and to use it to get their message across and to build their brand," said Scott Koppang, director of marketing and sales for Package Containers Inc., Canby, Ore.
It works because attractive packaging draws consumers into the produce department, he said.
Totes, pouch bags growing trend
Increased use of single-handle tote bags or pouch bags is a growing trend, but it may not take the industry by storm, said Bob Degnan, president and chief executive officer at Package Containers.
The bags typically are used for small fruit, ranging from grapes and cherries to stone fruit.
"They have high-graphic capability and can be prepackaged, which avoids labor at the store level," he said.
"The bags increase the sales not only of produce that is in the bag but of bulk items displayed next to the bag," Koppang said.
But Degnan is seeing some pushback, especially from consumers who prefer organic or earth-friendly produce.
"They want to be able to pick their own," he said.
The bags fill a need, he said, "but I think it's a niche within the produce category."
Packaging Containers makes a single-handle Home-Toter bag out of high-density polyethylene and natural craft or bleached white earth-friendly paper that can be recycled, he said.
Going green, focusing on brands
People are looking to use less plastic in their packaging, yet still have a package that protects the product and maintains product quality, said David Grice, sales and marketing agent for FormTex Plastics Corp., Houston.
In order to do that, some manufacturers are ditching the lid and going to a film covering.
"There are a lot of trays out there with FloWrap," he said.
There's also a trend toward brand-specific specialty packaging, Grice said.
"Maybe their image is that of a company that is going extremely green in the growing and packing process, and they want their packaging and labeling to reflect that," he said.
Clamshell containers have long been the container of choice for berries, but their popularity continues to build for other commodities, as well, said Jim Scattini, vice president of marketing for Sambrailo Packaging, Watsonville, Calif.

Official Panthers - Jets Gameday Thread
Where: Bank of America Stadium
When: 4:05 Kickoff
Radio: 1110 WBT
Twitter: Follow @CarolinaHuddle from tweets and pics from the sidelines.
Keys to Panthers Victory
- Open up the offense. The Panthers won't be running the ball well with the Jets stacking the box defensively. Cam must throw the ball and force the Jets defense to stay honest.
- Contain Geno Smith. Do not allow a repeat of a rookie mobile QB beating you with his legs and buying time. (See week 2)
- Blitz, Blitz, and Blitz again. Geno is not Drew Brees. He will struggle finding a target quickly enough if adequate pressure if applied.
Panthers 27
Jets 13

:: beforeTime to get back on the right track! Go Panthers!
Got about 12 inches of snow up here in NY and were ready to plow away these pansy jets. fug santonio and fug Rex Ryan. CarolinaALLDAY
The Other Terrible Team from NY - 10
Only missed watching two Panthers games live in the last 4 years and I have to miss the rest of this regular season. Here's to learning of 3 more consecutive wins.
7-0 this year when I eat wings. 31-16
And why did you not eat wings last Sunday?
After last week's game, and with us hosting the Saints again next week I suppose there could be a letdown. Other than that small possibility I see no other reason that this one would be close. Come out strong and put them away early.
Panthers 27
Jets 7
Bonus Prediction:
Saints 17
Rams 23
And since we lost last week, all of my superstitions that caused us to win 8 straight now seem moot. Idk what to do with myself, switch it up? Or stick with the same strategy?
21-17, Jets.
made quesoAnd why did you not eat wings last Sunday?
Honestly kinda nervous about this one. It just feels weird.
And since we lost last week, all of my superstitions that caused us to win 8 straight now seem moot. Idk what to do with myself, switch it up? Or stick with the same strategy?
21-17, Jets.
Will you be proud of yourself if you're right?
Will you be proud of yourself if you're right?
Nope. But I started predicting us to lose every week after I went to see them play in AZ this year and they've been 8-1 since.
If the jets team that beat the saints shows up, it might not turn out as well as some of you are predicting.
Go panthers.
Also as a side note, go titans, rams, and bucs
Let's get that win.
I hope we open up the offense by running more hurry up and no huddle. Give the offense a spark. And please play Steve in the slot more. We do it, it works, then we go whole games not doing it at all. Either way we are winning today because Geno IS NOT going to beat us in our house period. Our defense is scoring today. 31-7 Go Panthers
also why the fug is this game a 4:05 game?
34-9 us.
Put Geno on his ass all day, stay mistake free, win.
Panthers - 24
Jets - 17

Most turbulence created by the bike is caused by the wheels (and spokes). At the top of the wheels the spokes are moving forward while colliding with the frontal wind. This causes a major turbulence, creating drag and slowing down the bike. With our splitfork we guide the incoming frontal air away from the spokes creating an airstream away from the wheels. In this way, we reduce the interaction of the airstream with the spokes which results in reduced turbulence and drag.

Because my work schedule changes from week to week, it's been difficult to find a people in advance to game with. Recently moved to the area (New Brighton) from Chicago, and my games are gathering dust. Just finishing getting my house up and running/able to have people over now, so I'm wondering if anyone has a group where they rotate at people's houses once a month or so, OR does so at the game center (either is fine with me).
I'm mostly into fantasy games, runebound, descent, want to try runewars, the new dungeonquest, etc, but willing to try pretty much anything. I'm a 32 year old doctor, wife and I are pretty normal, although she doesn't game

Florence Knoll Five-Drawer + Two-Door Credenza
Price: $10,575.00Overview
Design by Florence Knoll, 1961.
By Knoll.
Florence Knoll's credenza designs are reserved and cool, severe and angular, reflecting the objective perfectionism of the early 1960s. The Five-Drawer + Two-Door Credenza includes four box drawers (each with one removable partition), one full-extension file drawer with two metal bars for hanging files, and two storage cabinets on the far right with two adjustable shelves for use in one or both cabinets. The credenza is available in four body veneers, and a choice of matching veneer or marble top options. Marble tops (with the exception of White Extra, Carrara and Emperador marbles) can be ordered with a polished finish or satin (matte) finish. The satin finished marble creates a matte sheen that gives the top a natural honed appearance while offering the same protective qualities as the Polished polyester coated marble finish. The credenza base is available in either Polished Chrome or Satin Chrome.
Select Base Finish, then select Body/Top pairing. Available with or without Optional Locking System.
Extra White Marble is currently on product hold/unavailable. The KnollStudio logo and Florence Knoll's signature are stamped on inside of credenza leg. Optional central locking system requires only one key to open the credenza (sold separately, see options below).
Designer: Florence Knoll
While a student at the Kingswood School on the campus of the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Florence Knoll Bassett (née Schust) became a protegée of Eero Saarinen. She studied architecture at Cranbrook, the Architectural Association in London and the Armour Institute (Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago). She worked briefly for Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Wallace K. Harrison. In 1946, she became a full business and design partner and married Hans Knoll, after which they formed Knoll Associates. She was at once a champion of world-class architects and designers and an exceptional architect in her own right. As a pioneer of the Knoll Planning Unit, she revolutionized interior space planning. Her belief in "total design" — embracing architecture, manufacturing, interior design, textiles, graphics, advertising and presentation — and her application of design principles in solving space problems were radical departures from the standard practice in the 1950s, but were quickly adopted and remain widely used today. For her extraordinary contributions to architecture and design, Florence Knoll was accorded the National Endowment for the Arts' prestigious 2002 National Medal of Arts.

Brand Beginnings Knoll was founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll who sought to create new types of furniture and environments for the home and workplace. Their approach was to join craftsmanship with technology through the use of design and to create beautiful home furnishings that stood the test of time visually, functionally and practically. The pair sought out designers willing to change the landscape of modern design, daring to ask how furniture could work better. These landmark collaborations, with pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Richard Schultz built a brand that today contains many of the hallmarks of modern design.
Knoll Today Knoll enjoys brand recognition throughout the world for its modern classics as well as groundbreaking new products formulated under new deigner partnerships. Few companies can match the array of Knoll products, which combine a modernist aesthetic with residential appeal. This point of view nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of Knoll design. Today, it connects to a new generation seeking workplaces and homes that are comfortable for and beautiful for everyday living.
A Signature Piece The highly coveted Barcelona® Chair is, with little doubt, the signature Knoll piece. Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it is one of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement. Skilled craftsman construct this exquisite chair by hand every day. From leather produced from a single cowhide, 40 individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted, and hand-tufted with leather buttons to upholster the chair. Premium cushions are highly resilient with a down-like softness that surrounds the sitter in luxurious comfort. Cushions are suspended by upholstery straps in cowhide belting leather over a metal frame that is hand-ground and hand-buffed to a mirror finish. Meticulously detailed, Barcelona continues to appeal to customers worldwide some 85 years after its introduction.
Why Knoll? The Knoll names offers a rich design history – a legacy of iconic designers and inventive new collaborations. Their focus on quality and responsible manufacturing means that each piece transcends multiple generations in both use and appeal. Knoll offers furniture, accessories, textiles, felts and leathers that stimulate the senses and allow you to express who you are and what you value. They take great pride in creating the best possible product and the happiest possible customer.

"This year was very special to me because it was the first time my whole family has been together since my accident," said Laken.
Earlier this year the next family vacation was the last thing on the Wilson family's minds.
On New Year's Day, Laken, Adam and his family were visiting the Steamboat Ski Resort in Colorado.
The younger members of the family decided to go snowboarding on the mountainside.
Eventually the group became tired and decided it was too icy to snowboard, so they walked down the mountain to play in the snow.
At some point everyone began to tumble down the mountainside.
"Adam fell further down from me. I hit the artificial snowmaking machine. He tried to call and text me, and when I didn't answer he decided to hike back up the mountain," said Laken, recalling what everyone had told her about the accident.
Adam ran into the ski patrol and noticed a commotion up the mountain.
He asked what happened and discovered it was Laken who had taken a worse tumble than the rest of the group.
Witnesses of the event had called for help and Laken was airlifted to a Denver Health Medical Center.
"My whole family down here (in Cleveland) was just in hysterics. The last thing they told my mom before she got on the plane was that they couldn't promise her I would be O.K. when she got there," Laken said.
After undergoing three hours of surgery to remove bone fragments from the left side of her brain and to stop any brain bleeding that may have occurred, Laken spent 22 days in DHMC with less than a week of that time in ICU.
She was then moved to the pediatric floor to assess her therapy options.
Laken was told the soonest she would be able to be admitted to nearby Craig Hospital, a center that specializes in spinal chord and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, would be Jan. 22.
To Laken, that seemed too far away.
Although she still could not speak, she was able to communicate to her father that she did not want to wait that long to begin the recovery process.
Instead she chose to be moved to the rehab therapy department of Denver Health Medical Center.
The progress made from this decision led Laken to be discharged from the DMHC on the initial date she was scheduled to begin therapy at Craig Hospital — Jan. 22.
"After the flight home, I began outpatient therapy with Mary and Julie at Cleveland Rehab to regain mobility and balance," said Laken. "I was walking with assistance."
"After two months I was done with physical therapy," she continued, "but I still had a long way to go with my hand."
Since taking a semester off to recover from the accident, Laken has eased back into college life.
Delta State University called her to participate as an Orientation Leader this summer, and she was able to give up her crown as Miss DSU.
"Not like I would have liked to, but I was able to walk across the stage," she recalled.
Laken was released from speech therapy in May, but chose to take advantage of the speech and hearing services offered by DSU.
"Just because I don't think it's where it (my speech) should be. I was understanding everything fine," she said reflecting on her decision.
"My hand still gives me some trouble," continued Laken, as she rubbed her writing hand. "The whole right side of my body was paralyzed, initially."
In describing how her communication has been impacted by the accident, she said, "I would have to use my left hand to communicate, to write on dry erase boards. I can use both of them (hands). It just takes me a long time to write with my right hand now. I still don't have the feeling back in it so it's really hard. The strength's not back but I can do it."
Laken said the teachers at Delta State University have been very good to her and have allowed her to take her exams orally.
"I have to study harder, and sometimes I get nervous and have trouble with oral presentations," said the junior fashion merchandising major.
Laken is an active member of Tri Delta Fraternity and participates in most college campus activities, including the recent Fashion Merchandising Fashion Show.
She lives in the dorms on campus and has regained her ability to drive.
"I think she's O.K. with it," Laken said of her mother, Mechelle's feelings about her living on campus, "because I see her all the time and I help with softball. My little sister plays so I see her on a normal basis."
After graduating in December 2014, she plans to attend graduate school as an interior design major at Mississippi State or Mississippi College.
After taking the semester off to be with Laken as much as possible throughout her healing, Adam is now re-enrolled at DSU a well.
They have been dating for two years.
"I don't see myself with anybody else," said Laken.

Clevelander Dr. Macklyn "Mack" Hubbell, 81, and his wife of 60 years, Elizabeth, were bit in the '50s and have been adventuring ever since.
The couple first fell in love with travel while attending graduate school in Switzerland in 1953 and have since visited 125 countries on the map.
Hubbell, who served as the senior pastor at Cleveland's First Baptist Church from 1962-1980, began taking his wife around the world thanks to his background in psychology and counseling.
"Through the International Mission Board, I was sent to provide professional help to the missionaries located in different countries," said Hubbell. "We've had so many amazing experiences living on five of the seven continents because of my assignments."
The Hubbells lived this exciting lifestyle for about 10 years before settling back in Cleveland — but the globetrotting never ends.
"Since 2002 onward we have been tackling our travel bucket list," he said. "We've had a long list of countries and places to visit for a while now."
Their most recent journey was one of their fondest — a two-week excursion in early November through the Hudson Bay arctic region of Canada.
"We were moving along real slow in our tundra-mobile and this giant polar bear came right up and stuck his head through the open window," he said. "I will never forget it."
One of Hubbell's favorite travel elements is developing a special connection with local wildlife; from close encounters with artic polar bears, walking among gorillas in Rwanda, sighting giant sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands, seeing a pride of lions in Africa or being chased by a family of baboons.
With all the incredible voyages, the Hubbells remain proud of their Bolivar County ties and enjoy sharing their stories with locals.
"Every day our lives are impacted by the travel experiences we've had," said Elizabeth. "We enjoy it when people approach us and are curious about our trips."
Hubbell frequently writes of their travels in a weekly Bolivar Commercial column, and he is also the author of books ranging in many topics — religion, philosophy, travel, restaurants, mini-essays and beyond.
"A lot of people in the area connect with his articles and his writing," said Elizabeth. "People are very curious about our vast world."
Hubbell, mostly retired, still provides counseling services out of his home, but he spends a great deal of his time as a torchbearer for community service.
He has worked closely with the court system to improve city beautification in Cleveland, and he also voluntarily teaches through a rehab program at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman.
Hubbell also works with the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce to recognize quality courtesy workers from local businesses.
"My philosophy is that if you live in a community, you need to contribute to it," Hubbell said. "I want to do more than just pay taxes — I want to make a contribution.
"We are drawn to Cleveland because of the connections we've made with so many great people."
The appreciation for travel and service live strong in the Hubbell family, as they have for so many years.
Future destinations include Belgium, Holland, Greenland and everywhere else on the extraordinary bucket list.
"I always say, just live as long as you can live," he said. "As long as you are healthy, live as long as you can live."
Read Hubbell's column every Tuesday in the Bolivar Commercial.

Our Fashion I.Q. columnist and blogger reports on the best new style and beauty trends for the Sarasota siren.
It's spring, which means it's time to refresh and renew your look, even in seasonally challenged Sarasota. Get ready to shed those nubby winter tweeds, fur accents and knee-high boots; their four-month window has closed.
But no need to linger over your cool-weather-gear good-byes. Instead, let's welcome the new, and the spring/summer 2013 runways showed more than a few new trends that adapt well to our balmy weather and the relaxed elegance of our social milieu. You'll be spoiled with choices. It's no continental wardrobe shift, but there's plenty to know to be in the know as we approach the finale of Sarasota's social season.
To help you finish your new spring look, we've asked some local experts about what's fresh and exciting in beauty and overall styling.you'll see their comments on the following pages.
The spring and summer collections tend to feature vibrant hues, and this year was no exception. The tangerine tango of 2012 got a shot of spice and is now a vibrant hot persimmon. It was everywhere on iconic runways, like those of Diane von Furstenberg and Jil Sander; even hotter was emerald-green, which Pantone named "Color of the Year."
It's hard to imagine a hue more perfect for Sarasota, where the Gulf of Mexico is exactly that shade in spring. The emerald color story popped up in all manner of iterations from accessories to ball gowns. I'm loving Valentino's statement-making pointed-toe pump with rockstud stiletto heel, so stylish it could attend any Sarasota soirée. Burberry Prorsum showed the color of the year in bomber jackets, trench coats and a divinely flirty lace dress that cut just below the knee. This shade, which represents growth, renewal and prosperity, can be easily incorporated into your look in the form of a belt or on your fingertips.
Models also sported various shades of white, layered for a soft yet crisp monochromatic look. That's a great look for semi-tropical Sarasota, especially if you add a pop of color with your strappy sandals. Bold brights were as big as whites—another great trend for our sunny resort lifestyle; keep an eye out for confectionery hues like dusk blue, lemon zest and African lilac.
If you're still sticking to the safety of solid colors, it's time to move out of your comfort zone and embrace some of the new prints. They're adding sizzle and style to celebrities like Solange Knowles and Kylie Minogue, and they're a great way to stand out from the endless sea of black at a Sarasota gala. We'll be seeing Hollywood ingénues parading down the red carpet in digital prints such as fractured optical illusions and stylized blooms, from sweet and subtle to devilish and daring. On the other end of the print arc, designers like Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Alexander Wang featured jailbird stripes—black and white, maroon and white and other color combos—and technicolor patterns. Print styling tip for the Sarasota siren: Keep accessories to a minimum; let the pattern stand on its own. Go unadorned except for a simple stud earring or a barely there bangle.
Another great way to extend your comfort zone: Don an iridescent skirt or a dress with a rakish cut-out. Metallic is no longer just for holiday parties or formal wear; it's making appearances at offices and social luncheons. If you're new to the look for day, ground the shine with a neutral, like classic camel.
As for the cut-outs, they're not the kind that will make your mother blush; the new cut-outs have subtle sex appeal in an ultra-feminine way. Imagine sheer fabrics, luxe lace and mesh peek-a-boo inserts lightening up heavier fabrics; some artful cut-outs appear at the horizontal hemline, as vertical striping, stencil-like perforations and windowpane cuts. I particularly love the geometric honeycomb effect Vivienne Tam showed in her flirty dress series. I predict we'll see this look attracting the paparazzi at spring parties like Firefly and Pique-nique sur la Baie.
I'm also excited about the modern rendition of the Bermuda short; it's loose fitting with enough coverage for any body type. Bermudas are doing double duty as short suits, which are just brimming with cool and perfectly right for our humid summer climate.Other notable spring trends are oversized ruffles, lightweight leather and the pencil skirt, back in a big way. Another blast from the past: Jason Wu and Nanette Lepore brought back '60s macramé with a coquettish edge. Speaking of comebacks, there's a mod nod to the '60s in the air. Be sure to check out Louis Vuitton's checkerboard pattern; Kristen Stewart was the first to wear it while promoting Breaking Dawn: Part 2 in Tokyo.
And chinoiserie chic may be a new fashion buzzword, judging by the overwhelming number of designers inspired by the Orient. Alber Elbaz, for example, had a genius moment when he wrapped an obi belt under a feminine Lanvin tuxedo. Here's a style so chic and so simple for us to adopt for a black-tie gala; it would be great for the Sarasota Y's May Going for the Gold event, with its Night of the Jade Butterfly theme.What's brilliant about fashion right now is that there truly are no hard-and-fast rules; just follow the trends that work best for your body and express your personality. Just one piece of advice: Get adventurous. Dare to explore new territory while pulling looks off the racks to try in the dressing room, whether it's one of the mesmerizing optical illusions in prints or a chic cut-out dress. You may surprise yourself, and you will definitely up your Fashion I.Q.
Shades of Spring
A sure-fire way to update your look is to consult fashion's ever-spinning color wheel. Case in point: Updated from 2012, delicate African Violet has replaced the heavily pigmented Bellflower of 2012, just as Margarita has evolved into freshly sprouted Tender Shoots. And, even though Emerald has been named color of the year, keep a sharp eye out for Monaco Blue as spring's go-to color. That's the scoop from color authority Pantone; the company's Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Color Report compiles extensive R&D collected from fashion industry influencers. Above is Pantone's forecast for the top 10 hues that will dominate fashionistas' wardrobes (and fall's new home decor products) this season.
Spring Look
For insight on the top spring trends, we tapped d.cole Hair Design's Colette Olson. Not only does she have an innate sense of scissorly style; she studies runway shows and online sites to find inspiration and the most wearable looks.
If we want a subtle rather than drastic change, what's the one thing to do this spring?
Change your part. Center parts are really in; it makes a dramatic difference without losing length or changing color.
Speaking of color, what's new?
Instead of all of the ends being lighter and blond with the balayage technique, the hand-painted highlights are fewer, internal and more random to create dimension.
The ponytail is my go-to style for warmer weather; any new ways to style one?
Ponytails are lower and looser, tied at the nape of the head. They can be done with a severe deep part on the side or right down the middle or tied into loose knots. And the bun has worked its way down from the tight topknot to the nape and become softer and looser.
What's the story with bangs?
You could follow the Miu Miu spring/summer runway look of short choppy bangs or go with longer sweeping bangs that tuck behind the ear.
Any spring/summer must-have product?
If the hair is healthy, a sea salt spray like Davine's No.14 Sea Salt Primer will add a textured, tousled look.
What's Hot in Handbags
Wendy Getchell, owner of Lotus Boutique in downtown Sarasota, has had her finger on the pulse of what's in-style since she began reading Vogue at age 15. We asked Wendy to bring us up to speed on the new handbags.
Tell us about the hottest shapes of the season.
Bags seem to be getting a little smaller. Cross-body and shoulder straps are still big. The Rebecca Minkoff cross-body M.A.C. or Mini M.A.C. is one of the most popular bags in my store. And there's lots more in the way of clutches, but the sizes are varying.
Any new materials/designs surfacing?
I've been seeing more fabric bags accented with leather. In the mid-price range designers are stamping leather for a snake effect. Higher-end designers are using python. There are also great tribal-looking prints and a new silk screening technique on suede.
For black-tie events, what should be in our closet this spring?
A really fabulous clutch in a soft burnished metallic lambskin.
What mistake do women make when it comes to handbags?
They try to make one handbag fit all, and it really doesn't. I'd say you need at least three to choose from.
Do we still need to match our shoes with our handbag?
Absolutely not. It's not horrible if you do—you can, there just aren't any rules against it. I tell my clients that the accessories
you pair with your outfit should look like they're going to the same event.
More handbag advice?
A colored bag can really brighten up your outfit. Pair contrasting hues on the color wheel. For instance, I love lime green with hot pink.
Lengthen Those Lashes.
Five years ago, Shoko Kubota extended her services at Shoko Skincare to include eyelash extensions. They now account for more than 80 percent of her business. She specializes in Xtreme Lashes, the same brand that's chosen by celebs like Molly Sims, Kelly Rowland and Dylan Lauren.
How did lash extensions get so hot?
They make a woman's life so much easier. Lash extensions are natural, yet glamorous, and every woman wakes up looking beautiful. And they emphasize the focal point of the face, the eyes, which most women consider to be their best feature.
Besides the look, what do women like about the lashes?
They're extremely comfortable to wear, to sleep and to live in. And you can take showers, go for a swim and even scuba dive if you'd like.
The big question: What happens to our relationship with mascara?
No more looking for the perfect mascara! There's really no need with the extensions. But there is a special lengthening and volume mascara specifically for the extensions if you want to add more drama.
How long does the process take and what does it cost?
Your initial visit will take approximately an hour and a half. My favorite look is 60 lashes or more per eye. Pricing begins at $95 for a subtle look applied only to the outer corner of eyes and goes up to $350 for absolute glamour of up to 80 lashes per eye. And you'll need to be re-lashed every two to three weeks.
Lighten Up, Guys
Hank Battie believes that fashion has but one rule—good taste, a philosophy that's driven his Cravats' Custom Clothiers for more than 22 years. We asked for some insights on warm-weather dress.
How does a man's style change when warm weather rolls around?
It's time to opt for cooler, lighter-weight fabrics. For shirts, that means finely woven cotton. For suits, go with light worsted wools; under 10 ounces is considered a tropical weight.
Linen was all over the runways for men. How can you wear it without looking rumpled?
Linen is guaranteed to rumple because it's a naturally a dry fabric. If you're OK with the wrinkles, then it's cool. When linen is blended with another fabric such as bamboo, which is silky, the combination results in a softer fabric that will wrinkle less.
Is a seersucker suit still in?
If you've had one for a while, it's probably time to update it. Seersucker is for a certain guy with a particular sense of style, like the one who wears a bow tie. I especially like it for the Kentucky Derby parties, which are just as much fashion show as horse race.
What are your thoughts on skinny suiting?
Closer fitting suits are in vogue, but don't go overboard. The skinny suit works for very few and it depends on a guy's comfort level in his clothes. As custom clothiers, our focus is always on style rather than fashion.
What mistakes do men make when it comes to warm-weather style?
Don't let summer make a slob out of you; there are many lightweight fabrics to keep you cool and in style. Also, opt for nice sandals instead of flip-flops and pair them with a nice-good-looking pedicure. It's important.
A handy guide to keeping your white bucks bright.
White bucks are the epitome of warm-weather kicks, but they do take more care than feeding a goldfish, so you'll need to keep a few tools on hand. And, yes, you really should clean them after each wearing.
Protector spray: Get ahead of the game. Follow manufacturer's directions and apply a suede protector to a pair of new white bucks.
Suede eraser: Use a light hand while applying the eraser to scuffed areas. Some bloggers instead recommend a hard white eraser or Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.
Chalk bag: Fiebing's Buck Bag restores color to white bucks; you pat the bag against the suede.
Suede brush: Brush your shoes after each wear to clean away dirt.

Newcomers oust incumbents from Thiensville trustee seats
Thiensville voters swept out the incumbents on the Village Board, electing two newcomers, Ken Kucharski and Kim Beck, while selecting Van Mobley as the new village president. Incumbents Toni Ihler and longtime trustee and former Village President Don Molyneux lost their bids to return to the Village Board.
Mobley, a trustee on the board since 2006, will take over the gavel from Karl Hertz who did not seek re-election as village president. Hertz ran unopposed for his seat on the Ozaukee County Board. Mobley garnered 778 votes while his opponent Roland Runge had 229.
Mobley, 43, is a history professor at Concordia University.
Kucharski, 55, and the owner of Skippy's Sport Pub, led all trustee candidates with 639 votes. Beck, with 427 votes, narrowly edged out Molyneux's 416. Ihler had 312 votes.
Beck, 56, is Director of Arts, Humanities and Science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Continuing Education. He is a member of the village Plan Commission.
» Read Full ArticleBeer could flow during Glendale's Fourth of July
Glendale — Glendale's Fourth of July celebration received some liquid encouragement from city officials Monday night.
The Common Council unanimously expressed its approval for the city's Fourth of July Committee to pursue a beer vendor for this year's holiday bash. The committee would like Glendale-based Sprecher Brewery, working with Sprecher Pub and Restaurant, to provide Sprecher beer and soda for the event. No kegs will be tapped, however, until Sprecher submits a special gathering permit application to the city and that permit is then granted by the Common Council.
Beer sales were rejected by city officials a decade ago when the Fourth of July festival was a three- or four-day event, but now that the event is only one day, city officials do not think beer will pose a threat to the family-friendly event. The vendor would be required to have a licensed bartender overseeing beer sales.
Whitefish Bay native 'Kit' Carson was Rush Limbaugh's right-hand man
The legions of Rush Limbaugh listeners never heard of Christopher "Kit" Carson until the radio host announced Monday on the air that his beloved producer had died of brain cancer.
Carson, who grew up in Whitefish Bay, was known as H.R. on the program, in a nod to President Nixon's White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman.
He was the longest-serving staff member on Limbaugh's radio show, starting part time answering phones and letters for the conservative talk show host shortly after the daily program started in 1988.
Carson, 58, died Monday in New York.
Conservative Milwaukee talk show host Mark Belling has filled in for Limbaugh about 50 times since 1998 and got to know Carson, who ran the program from behind the scenes.

Without Showalter, Germantown boys rally for win over Whitefish Bay
After his team rallied from an eight-point first quarter deficit to pull out a 67-53 North Shore Conference boys basketball decision over a feisty host Whitefish Bay squad, interim Germantown coach Mark Adams first words out of his mouth were:
"I was just glad I could call him and give him the right message (about a victory)," he chuckled.
"Him" being veteran Warhawk coach Steve Showalter, who was laid up all this week while fighting some setbacks in his recovery from some recent arthroscopic knee surgery.
Showalter has fought this same battle against blood clots before and so carefully took the week off as Adams and other assistants ran practice and prepared the Warhawks for the Blue Dukes.

man who fell more than 18 feet from a second-floor staircase at the Bayshore Town Center died from multiple blunt force injuries, according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office.
ADustin Strzelecki, 21, of Silver Lake was critically injured about 9 p.m. Jan. 12 and died Wednesday evening at Froedtert Hospital.
Glendale police told investigators from the medical examiner's office that witnesses said Strzelecki had been drinking beer and possibly about four Long Island ice teas during a party, according to reports released Wednesday.
Police said Strzelecki was in the rotunda area at the mall when he tried to slide down the top rail of a banister and accidentally fell. Multiple people witnessed his fall and part of it was recorded on video that was reviewed by police, who have determined the incident was an accident.
Strzelecki was a junior studying engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, according to the university.
21-year-old man who fell from Bayshore balcony has died
Glendale — The 21-year-old man who fell from a balcony at Bayshore Town Center on Jan. 12 has died after nine days in critical condition at Froedtert Memorial Hospital.
Dustin Strzelecki of Silver Lake, was with his Toppers Pizza coworkers for a company holiday party at Bayshore's iPic bowling alley that night. After several drinks, he attempted to slide down a railing, according to a Glendale police report. Witnesses told police that Strzelecki tried to slide down the second floor railing, but he did not slide very far down the railing before he fell backwards over the railing to the lower staircase. The distance from the top of the rail to the surface on which he landed is 18 feet and 7 inches, according to the report.
When Glendale police and North Shore Fire and Rescue officials arrived at the scene at 9:22 p.m., they found Strzelecki unconscious at the base of the stairwell. He was transported via Flight For Life to Froedtert Memorial Hospital.
Apartment project proposed for Glendale
A development with 56 townhome-style apartments in Glendale would include 11 apartments set aside for people with disabilities under a tentative proposal pending before county officials.
The apartments would be built with public financing help at 1633 W. Bender Road, according to a report to the County Board's Economic and Community Development Committee. That site has a former nursing home that would be demolished to make way for the project, developer Ted Matkom said Thursday.
The apartments would be developed by Bond Realty LLC, a partnership between Matkom and neighboring property owner David Hobbs Honda, the county report said.
Bond Realty's affiliate, Bender Road Apartments LLC, is seeking $2 million in federal funds, provided through the county, to help finance the 11 apartments that would be rented at below-market rates to low- and middle-income disabled people, according to the report. The committee is to consider that request for the zero-interest, 20-year loan at its Monday meeting.
The development proposal faces "a lot of hurdles," Matkom said, including obtaining the public funds, as well as state Department of Natural Resources approval for an environmental cleanup at the site.
» Read Full ArticleWashington boys basketball team too quick for Brown Deer, 59-49
They schedule like a state championship team and carry themselves like a state championship team too.
But the defending WIAA state D3 titlist Brown Deer boys basketball squad needed to play a little bit more like a championship team tonight as a determined Milwaukee Washington unit made the quick Falcon squad play faster than even it wanted too, forcing numerous turnovers and easing away to a 59-49 victory at the Novak Family Fieldhouse.
"They did a very nice job of getting us to play fast," said Brown Deer coach Kelly Appleby. "That's a real credit to them. They just sped us up all night. We felt like we had a lot of opportunities tonight, but we needed to take better care of the ball."
The loss broke a three-game winning streak for the Falcons (7-4) while the under-rated, hard-scheduling Purgolders improved to 6-4.
Brown Deer was able to secure the lead only three times over the course of the game, 2-0, 4-2, and the last time late in the second quarter on a Lewrenzo Byers 3-pointer that made it 22-21.

Whitefish Bay — Three robbery suspects in a stolen SUV were arrested after crashing into another car near the Whitefish Bay-Milwaukee border Monday afternoon, Jan. 19.
The suspects allegedly robbed a 16-year-old girl of her cellphone near 38th and Burleigh streets at about 2:45 p.m. Monday, according to Lt. Mark Stanmeyer of the Milwaukee Police Department.
Milwaukee police officers pursued the suspect vehicle, a white 2003 GMC Envoy, but the vehicle did not come to a stop until it crashed into a red Ford Focus at around 3:20 p.m. outside of the Clark gas station in the 4700 block of Wilson Drive, just south of Hampton Road and Santa Monica Boulevard.
Two juvenile suspects and one adult suspect were arrested.
The crash occurred in Milwaukee, but Whitefish Bay and Shorewood police assisted Milwaukee officers in searching for a possible fourth suspect. Police carried rifles as they searched the surrounding area.
» Read Full ArticleStrong fourth quarter lifts Homestead girls past Whitefish Bay, 44-34
It was never a pretty game between the Homestead and Whitefish Bay girls basketball teams Friday night in the nightcap of the boy-girl doubleheader at Bay.
But for the Highlanders, it was a perfectly lovely fourth quarter, as they broke a 28-all tie by scoring the first 14 points of the session and then cruising home to a 44-34 North Shore Conference victory.
"There was no rhythm and it was very sloppy on both sides," said Highlander coach Corey Wolf, "but in the fourth quarter we had a little more composure. A little more composure and intensity.
"We scored early in that fourth quarter and that's what got us going."
Meanwhile, Bay coach Rick DeKeyser was disappointed with the finish.
» Read Full ArticleBay boys hang on, 44-42, after losing big lead against Homestead
Normally a basketball coach can sit back and relax after his or her team takes an 18-0 lead at home and just wait for the final score to be posted.
But in these days of a depleted roster due to injury and a lack of interior strength, Whitefish Bay boys coach Kevin Lazovik is not in the position to relax.
So that's why Lazovik and bis Blue Dukes had to sweat out a 44-42 victory over Homestead Friday after taking just such a lead.
Lazovik was not thrilled by the ending but is relieved by the outcome as the Blue Dukes improved to 5-2 in North Shore Conference play and 8-4 overall. Bay is now tied with Homestead (5-2, 7-4) and Port Washington (5-2, 10-3) for second place in the North Shore behind unbeaten Germantown (7-0, 11-0)
"I mean we started off red-hot and finished the game ice-cold," Lazovik said. "We sort of knew that might happen (the rally) because they are exceptionally long and very hard to get inside on.

In Germantown wrestling coach Jeff Szohr's mind, success is all about imposing your will upon an opponent.
The Warhawks succeeded broadly in that regard Thursday night, recording seven pins in a 63-15 North Shore Conference dual meet victory over host Nicolet.
It was an impressive effort for a team that earlier this season had to deal with a great deal of youth (no seniors in the starting line-up) and the suspension of its best wrestler for an athletic code violation (Szohr's son Zack).
"I liked our intensity and I liked the intensity we had in fighting for our style," said Coach Szohr., "We're fighting for the way we look in the practice room, because we've been working really hard since On-the-Water (the big Oshkosh tournament that was held late last month).
...You've got to be able to force your style on the other guy and whoever succeeds in doing that will usually win."

Mequon — A 109-lot subdivision received conceptual approval from the Mequon Plan Commission on Monday, Jan. 12.
The subdivision would be located on 110 acres of land immediately south of the Brighton Ridge and Knightsbridge subdivisions between Swan and Wauwatosa roads. The land, which is under negotiations to be purchased from the Mequon-Thiensville School District, is part of the new central growth zoning district, which allows lots as small as one-third of an acre in certain "cluster" developments containing at least five houses.
The smaller lot sizes in the central growth area are designed to allow developers more flexibility in providing open common areas. In these cluster developments, at least 30 percent of the total site area must be designated as open space. Thirty-three percent of this subdivision is designated as open space.
The plan proposed by developer Neumann Companies results in a density of one home per acre. The "cluster" lots range in size from 0.48 to 0.87 acres in size, with the average lot spanning 0.53 acres. The homes will have an estimated market value of $400,000 to $600,000 per site, resulting in a total property value of $44 million to $66 million.
The subdivision will include a neighborhood recreational area in the center of the subdivision connected to the sidewalks via a pathway system.
