He loved the present and the Cocktail Starter Set was great value for money and contained all of the things that he needed to make fantastic cocktails! When he opened the set on Christmas morning we discovered that the strainer was missing from the set, but when I emailed Drinkstuff I received a prompt reply apologising for the error and they sent out a replacement straight away. Great customer service!"

Exactly what I wanted, already well used. Excellent resource for finding what I want, always consistent of value for money and quality."
Steve Griffiths, Wed 29th December '10
"Thank you so much for the prompt delivery of my item, I was impressed with how you kept me updated throughout the process. I do feel that the delivery charge is pricey as most websites are offering this free."

Amanda Byrne, Wed 29th December '10

Catherine Rippingale, Wed 29th December '10
"Overall I was happy with my purchase and the customer service I received from Drinkstuff although I have the following comments. Postage to N Ireland I found was expensive. Packaging was flimsy, one of the items was broken on arrival. I was very pleased with the Drinkstuff Customer service team as they replaced this item in time enabling me to give the set as a present, it's original intent."
drinkstuff says: Thanks for your comments William. Sorry that your parcel arrived damaged. We hope that the gift went down well in the end.
William Cochrane, Wed 29th December '10

Mrs Carol Burt, Tue 28th December '10
"I was satisfied with my order once it arrived, but not with the delivery. I received an email from the courier saying delivery would be made on the 16th of December so I waited in all day. No parcel which annoyed me a little, but I decided to stay in all day on the 17th as well to allow for the bad weather and possible delays because of it. However, it still didn't arrive on the 17th and I had no further communication from the courier and their website didn't give any contact details to enquire about the order. Finally, my stuff arrived in the evening on the 21st of December and the delivery driver had no idea that the order should have been delivered earlier. This has put me off ordering in the future if I need things in a hurry unfortunately."
drinkstuff says: Sorry that you had these issues with your delivery Nick. Unfortunately the recent weather conditions caused some delays with deliveries across the country. We see that you ordered through an affiliate site of ours so unfortunately we can't make them include our contact details on their pages.
For future reference, our customer service team is always willing to help with any issues you may have, our full contact details can be found on our contact us page.

Ken Robson, Tue 28th December '10
"I was delighted with the product (as was the happy recipient!) and the delivery service was excellent, particularly in light of the poor weather conditions and the close proximity, time wise, to Christmas! Over all I would heartily recommend Drinkstuff to anyone who'll listen! I'll certainly use the site again."
Colette Grantham, Tue 28th December '10

Sandra Parnell, Mon 27th December '10

"2 sets of cocktail glasses received plus a cocktail strainer all in perfect order & very quick, Xmas as well. Party went a treat, ta."
John Firth, Mon 27th December '10
"The stools were amazing value, arrived incredibly promptly, and look fabulous; they really are the perfect finishing touch for our new kitchen. I would have given five stars if they hadn't come in quite so many pieces, but then for the money I guess I can't really complain!"
Lucinda, Sun 26th December '10
"I ordered pretty late for Xmas so paid for the next day service which I got. The parcel was delivered the next morning, the item was well wrapped and the recipient was delighted with the cocktail kit. All the items were as described and of good quality."
Imelda Baxter, Sun 26th December '10
"Parcel still not received 12 days later, chased delivery company twice who assured me that parcel would be delivered priority on Xmas eve, on tracking record it said unable to deliver due to severe weather, everyone else is delivering and my road has no snow on it. Not impressed!"
drinkstuff says: We're sorry that you've had these issues with your delivery Mrs Brooks. Unfortunately the recent weather over the Christmas period caused delays at the local delivery hub, so all parcels coming from there were delayed regardless of weather conditions in local areas. We see from the tracking details that your order has now arrived with you.
Gladys Brooks, Sun 26th December '10

Helen Malik, Sat 25th December '10
"Ignoring the delivery delay due to severe weather conditions, the clapperboard came quicker than expected! it was only £5 yet it seemed to be very decent quality. The alignment of the actual pivoting piece of clapping wood is about 4mm off, which would have been painfully frustrating if I had OCD, but great for the price nonetheless. I haven't yet tried it with chalk but I was quite pleased with everything really. Smashin'"
Daniel, Sat 25th December '10

"Placed my order at 21.00 hrs on Monday 20th of December 2010. Given the extreme weather I had hoped that we might receive our order before the new year. So imagine my surprise at 11.00 on Thursday 23rd of December 2010 in a snow covered Dublin when our delivery arrived, just in time for Christmas, so well done lads, and many thanks, and merry Christmas to you all."
Bernard Norton, Thu 23rd December '10

Sandra Matthews, Wed 22nd December '10
"The Hot Stone Grill is excellent, cooks really well and is easy to use, just like a lava rock (well a safer version!) the only downside to my order was the delivery company, they were very difficult to get hold of if delivery was missed, so rearranging was a nightmare, don't use DPD in the future use royal mail please. My experiences with them this year and in the past have been excellent."
drinkstuff says: We're sorry that you've had some trouble with your delivery Lee. A number of our parcels are delivered by Royal Mail, we make sure to send heavier and larger products by courier to help keep down the delivery costs to customers.
We have found that DPD perform above many other couriers in their delivery service, and we hope that you won't be put off ordering from us in the future.

"Fantastic website, clear & simple to navigate. Despite the adverse weather conditions, even when many other Christmas deliveries were going astray- my Drinkstuff order came really quickly! Would definitely refer friends to this company & will most definitely be back for some more cool stuff myself - thanks."
Tina Prior, Tue 21st December '10
"Although the stated time for delivery was 2-3 days, my items were not delivered for 6 days. As I need them specifically for a weekend opening night, one can understand my frustration. All I received was an apologetic E Mail, which didn't really help."
drinkstuff says: We're sorry that you were disappointed with the delivery of your items Mr Foster. We ensured that your order was dispatched from us within the allotted time, but unfortunately we have to rely on a 3rd party delivery service who have been affected beyond their control by the recent weather. Our courier DPD have been working overtime to resolve their backlog of orders and brought your order to you in the quickest time possible.

Rajesh Chumber, Mon 20th December '10
"Website easy to navigate and great variety of unusual products. Ordering and payments both very efficient. Items dispatched promptly. In general very pleased with whole process. Only down side is that the boxes the items were in, had been squashed at the edges and looked a little tatty. Nothing wrong with the contents, though. I will more than likely be ordering again soon."
drinkstuff says: Sorry that the boxes arrived like this Kate. We make every effort to pack our items to be fully protected, but unfortunately transit can take its toll on some boxes.
Kate, Mon 20th December '10
"An excellent company to deal with, we were recommended them by a friend last year and purchased 4 Zenith bar stools. We have had 2 problems over the year, one with the gas cylinder and another with a lever; no problem or issue is too much trouble for any of the staff, replacement parts sent out speedily, despite the products almost out of guarantee. This company is a pleasure to deal with, the staff are very professional, helpful and courteous, we will most certainly use your services again and recommend you to friends and family."
Pauline McManus, Mon 20th December '10

"I used this website for the first time and all went smoothly. Thank you."
Petra Tesarova, Sun 19th December '10
"Drinkstuff.... If you want to keep any credibility, DITCH DPD!!! You sent me the item on the 7th, and here I am after waiting in the last couple of days for them to constantly say they have "tried to deliver - calling card left". What a load of rubbish!! Terrible courier"
drinkstuff says: Sorry that you've had these issues with your order Luke. The recent weather has caused havoc across the country for deliveries. We see you have now received your parcel and hope you are happy with your order.

Like an ideal cross between his Neil Young concert docs and his hymn to the indomitable spirit of New Orleans in I'm Caroline Parker, Demme's graceful style effortlessly interweaves Avitabile and his native city, leaving the viewer with a sensory impression of Naples' shabby slums and eccentric street denizens. It isn't hard to see what attracted the director to the talented 57-year-old musician, a hyper-creative, mile-a-minute talker who sports a fuzzy haircut, a day's stubble and a dangling crucifix earring. His grasp of musical instruments and genres is surprising, and the clincher is when he tumbles into the back seat of a car and hands the driver a CD, explaining he likes to begin the day with Maestro Pergolesi.
The jam session is held in a Baroque church lined with paintings and altars where, one by one, 12 high-caliber world musicians arrive to perform his music. Enzo sings in his singular voice and sometimes plays the saxophone with Eliades Ochoa, Naseer Shamma, Gerardo Núñez, Ashraf Sharif Khan Poonchwala, Trilok Gurtu, Luigi Lai, Zi Giannino Del Sorbo, Amal Murkus, Djivan Gasparyan Trio, Hossein Alizadeh, Daby Toure and Bruno Canino. Almost all bring a rare instrument to play (Murkus and Del Sorbo are extraordinary vocalists) and great musical feeling.
As Demme shows, Avitabile's gifts are not limited to musical experimentation. His passionate involvement with the poor and oppressed is expressively rendered in a song illustrated by real-life police photos of murdered bodies lying on Naples' streets, and the vocal repetition of the phrase, "I have a dream."

POSTED: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - 4:11pm
UPDATED: Sunday, July 28, 2013 - 9:36am
Tyler, Texas (KETK) — So, the Trayvon Martin verdict did not go the way many wanted it to go.
Outraged, many are now wanting a Department of Justice inquery and on and on and on.
The President went on camera Friday afternoon and made comments once again about him knowing what Trayvon Martin went through when it came to race relations.
He then asked that "Stand Your Ground" laws be looked at again.
Well, Texas basically has that law.
It states if someone tried to kill you or take your property you can retaliate.
Boy, what a concept.
Well, the President doesn't like these laws.
Someone did some digging and found he had no problem with it until he had a political dog in the fight.
They found back in 2004 when Barack Obama was a state senator in Illinios, he co-sponsored a bill that strengthened his state's 1961 "Stand Your Ground" law, "by shielding the person who was attacked from being sued in civil court by perpetrators or their estates when a 'Stand Your Ground' defense is used in protecting his or her person, dwelling or other property."
S.B. 2386 passed the Illinois state senate by a 56-0 vote on March 25, 2004. It sailed through the state house with only two "nay" votes. Both chambers were controlled by Democrats.
But, that was then.
That's mt point of view, what's yours?
You can e-mail me at email@example.com [2] or facebook me at KETK Neal Barton.

That is taken from a mischievous poem penned by Jenny Joseph, from Gloucestershire, England. I was disappointed to read that she is a professional, published writer. Why couldnt she be the feisty gal of her own creation, the spunky, independent dame in the poem entitled Warning? But I dont know the lady so perhaps she is.
There was a series of books, back in the 1990s, from Papier-Mache Press, that likely stirred the hearts of all who read them. Contributors shared their poems, brief stories and candid, touching photographs of the not-so-young. I recently plucked the three I have out of storage, where their beckoning faces peeked over the side of the wood, dovetailed, Trogan Explosives box, one of the countless resting places where my oodles of books can be discovered throughout our house.
I once had a purple tee shirt adorned with Jenny Josephs now infamous remark, When I am an old woman I shall wear purple. My granddaughter Alyssa, then 13, spotted it in an outgrown pile I was getting ready for the Salvation Army. She was delighted to take it! Alyssa is a free spirit. She has no inhibitions about wearing anything that suits her fancy, whether its in or not. You go girl!
Colors typify and personify. Old Glorys red, white, and blue pride pulses through the hearts of our countrymen and women as the Star Spangled Banner is sung. Color the earth green! Slowly, but surely, Americans have been going green, in an effort to preserve our natural resources. In the red is a sad reality for businesses all across the country, who have been forced to lay off employees and possibly file bankruptcy.
If the blue moon on New Years Eve had you howling or acting slightly off plumb, its not unusual. So say many of the hospital, emergency room attendants, who have reported people acting bizarre and behaving otherworldly under a smirking-faced full moon. I dont quite agree. Blame it on the booze and that wacky stuff! Detox!
Ebony and ivory, living in perfect harmony. It seems as clear as black and white that the words to that old song did not bridge any significant gap. Moving on wardrobe colors can say a lot about individuals, be it fun, pastel hues of spring, the season of renewal, or luxurious purple, exuding sophistication, or maybe youre one of those forever in blue jeans babes.
Are the threads you wear really you? Yikes! Does this mean that my tie-dyed, shoulder-padded, polyester, leopard-skinned, Elvis-fringed, and knee-high nylons have exceeded the limits of wabi sabi! Its not your great-grannies world anymore! Todays grandmothers arent likely sitting home in their fuzzy slippers, knitting, playing peek-a-boo with the grandkiddies, and simmering a pot of stew on the back burner.
Grandmothers are working-out at local gyms, golfing, riding Harleys and speed bikes, meditating at the spa, leading Yoga sessions, belly dancing, and joining forces in groups like the red hat society. These colorful gals show the world that they arent tarnishing in their golden years by languishing over late lifes minor inconveniences.
They dont acknowledge fashion foibles. Anything goes! Their high-rise apartments are their Eiffel Tower. Trips to a casino are funded by the kids inheritance, and tea times may be laced with just a tad of the brown stuff. Some even have a pool boy (and they dont even have pools.)
When I am an old woman I shall laugh out loud during a bridge game...and nobody will know that I knew exactly what I was doing.
Im already there!

Time is so important to us. Years ago, people told the time from the seasons and the tides and the sun.
Today, we rely on calendars and clocks to keep us on track, and we pay attention to our time right down to the second (and in sports, we even pay attention to time right down the millisecond).
We make sure that we get to work on time and get the kids to soccer practice on time. Time is an asset that we all wish we had more of. We envy people with perfect timing. We save time when we can so we can spend time doing things we enjoy.
When it comes to credit scores, time is a valuable commodity. If you want to achieve or maintain a great credit score, use these four time-related tips to help you.
In our modern age, time is important. It's the one thing that we all get the same amount of (24 hours each day) and it's how we spend that time that matters. You can use time to your advantage to help boost or maintain credit by doing the right things at the right time and letting time heal the credit items we don't want on our report.

Historians may not record Saturday as the busiest day in the diverse chronology of Bradley County, but it's shaping up to be the one that makes the biggest difference in the lives of many who call it home.
From job fairs to household hazardous waste cleanup, from biking for a city to a 5K pumpkin run, and from a walk for life to a walk in memory of a little girl, Saturday is beginning to look a lot like a day for making a difference and for celebrating the myriad of ways that people are doing it.
And these are just a small handful. Others are being planned and their good-deed doers range from big-hearted individuals to civic clubs to churches to schools and to any number of small groups, neighborhoods and families who are reaching out to others in need.
Most of it is happening Saturday — but not all — because it's "Make a Difference Day," an annual celebration of kindness that was launched two decades ago by USA WEEKEND magazine and the Hands On Network, a business unit of the Points of Light Institute.
It's also a favorite time of year for Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland who encourages area residents to get involved, and to report those accomplishments back to his City Hall office.
"This year, I encourage our citizens to consider doing a project," Rowland said. "Whether it's a Scout Troop, civic club or organization, church, Sunday School class or individual, there is something that can be done to help someone else."
The longtime mayor, whose tenure leads the rest of the Tennessee pack among municipal administrators, said it's not hard to find a project ... even with "Make a Difference Day" just three days away.
"Just look around," Rowland offered. "There is always something that can be done and always someone out there who could use a helping hand."
He added, "Through the years, Cleveland projects have ranged from simple acts like helping a senior citizen with lawn care, cleaning projects, installing wheelchair ramps and picking up litter, to name only a few."
Regardless of location in the Cleveland and Bradley County community and irrespective of neighborhoods, Rowland urged local residents to "... just look out your front or back door and find something that needs attention — a neighbor who could use a visit or a helping hand, or perhaps a street or lawn that needs debris removed."
An article in last Sunday's edition of USA WEEKEND echoed the same sentiments voiced by the Cleveland mayor. Written by USA Today reporter Laura Petrecca, the informational piece spotlighted Gayle King, a TV co-host for "CBS This Morning" and editor-at-large for "O, the Oprah Magazine."
King, 58, a veteran news personality in both TV and print, is an acknowledged proponent of helping others. She likes the difference that "Make a Difference Day" is making in America and in the mindset of Americans, but she also believes in keeping it simple. "Make a Difference Day" isn't about making a slam dunk on the gauge of goodwill, she believes. It's about helping others in any way at any time at whatever level.
"People often think that volunteering means writing a big check or doing something lofty, but it's the small things that can make a difference in someone's life," King told USA Today. "You can start by just saying 'hello' to people. Just show people that they matter as human beings."
King added, "Don't misunderstand; sometimes writing a check is nice. I'm a big proponent of writing checks for causes you believe in. But it's also important to have eye-to-eye and face-to-face contact, because a conversation can help to change someone's life."
King's volunteerism began at a young age when she served at a hospital as a candy striper.
"It's not that I ever thought about being a doctor or nurse, but you're in a place where all they do is help people," she told the USA Today reporter. "That was my very first volunteer job, and I really, really liked it. I gave people tours of the hospital, fed patients and worked in the gift shop."
The warm feeling it gave her stuck ... all the way to adulthood. Now she teaches kids, but not by preaching. Rather, it's by role modeling and showing how little things done in less than a day can add up to big things in life.
"You can really teach your children so much more by example than by [sternly] saying, 'This is the right thing to do,'" King stressed.
Rowland sings the same tune, one he has hummed through years of experience in helping others.
"Cleveland is a caring community whose people and various organizations literally work year-round to 'make a difference,'" Rowland said. "This one day a year just reinforces what we do all year long — find ways to make the lives of our family, friends and neighbors a little brighter."
In a plea straight to the ears, and the hearts, of Cleveland and Bradley County residents, the mayor suggested, "Do something, no matter how small, on Make a Difference Day 2013. You'll be glad you did."
Those who do are encouraged to report it to Rowland's office at 423-476-8931. The mayor, working through administrative assistant Sue Zius, needs to know the project, the number of volunteers involved, the amount of hours worked and the status of the initiative.
"My office each year provides a report to 'Make a Difference Day' as to what is done here in this community," Rowland said. "Though we have not sought awards or cash rewards, it is important to share with the world that this community has a heart for 'making a difference' in others."
Whether they were all organized originally as a part of "Make a Difference Day," the Cleveland and Bradley County community has a slew of events taking place Saturday, all of which will in some way help people.
Just a quick rundown of some of the community events, and this is not all-inclusive of the entire list, includes:
- Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day: Scheduled Saturday for 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Tri-State Exhibition Center, this biannual initiative is sponsored by Santek Waste Services, Cleveland Utilities, Cleveland/Bradley Keep America Beautiful, Tri-State and the Bradley County mayor's office. Ready to clean out some household goop that doesn't need to find its way into Southeast Tennessee waterways or the ground beneath? Do it Saturday and deliver it to HHWCD volunteers at the Tri-State collection point for proper disposal. Call Cheryl Dunson at 303-7101 or Joanne Maskew at 559-3307 for additional information.
- The Refuge Job Fair: Scheduled Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Family Support Center at 1075 Blythe Ave. (old Blythe Elementary School), the job fair will host a large group of potential employers. To date, the group includes Applebee's, Belk, Bradley/Polk Adult Education (REACH), Cato, Cleveland State Community College, DEB, Express Employment, Firehouse Subs, Hampton Inn, Massage Institute, New Concept School of Cosmetology, ProLogistix, Rue 21, Select Staffing, Sodexo, Staff Management, SunTrust Bank, Taco Bell, and TJ Maxx. Others are expected to sign on before Saturday. Questions may be directed to 423-584-5211 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Cleveland Family YMCA Job Fair: It's not happening Saturday, but on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the YMCA. To run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the job fair is being sponsored by the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce and the Cleveland Career & Workforce Development Office. Last year's fair welcomed 500 visitors and 50 business representatives. Although it's not taking place on "Make a Difference Day," organizers agree it's still making a difference.
- Bike 2 Build: Operating by a name that's similar to one already taken by Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland for its own fundraising purposes, Bike 2 Build is a Saturday bicycling event sponsored by People for Care & Learning. PCL is an international nonprofit headquartered in Cleveland that is working to raise funds for Build A City, a massive municipal construction project in the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia, a war-torn, poverty-stricken country whose capital city, Phnom Penh, is the "Sister City" to Cleveland. Bike 2 Build will offer three courses — 100K, 50K and 20K. Start and finish will be in the parking lot at First Baptist Church of Cleveland. The 100K and 50K start at 9 a.m., and the 20K gets underway at 10 a.m. Find additional information at peopleforcare.org/biketobuild. (Note: People for Care & Learning and Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland are close working partners in community betterment projects.)
- Walk for Life: Sponsored by New Hope Pregnancy Center, this Saturday benefit supports the nonprofit's work whose mission is to "... provide help, hope and accurate information to those facing an unplanned pregnancy." The 27-year-old ministry plans to convert from a pregnancy help center to a pregnancy help medical clinic that will offer free ultrasounds. Saturday's walk begins at 9 a.m. at Cleveland High School. Registration gets underway at 8:30 a.m. Walkers can walk the traditional 1.7 miles, or walk on the CHS track as an alternative. For more information, call the center at 479-5825 or visit www.newhopepcc.org.
- Great Pumpkin Chase 5K & 1-Mile Walk: The Saturday race and walk will begin at 9 a.m. on the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway starting on Raider Drive at the former First Tennessee Bank location. Proceeds will benefit the 40&8 Society's various programs like nurse training, child welfare, POW/MIA, youth sports and veterans assistance. Registration forms or additional information are available by contacting race directors Rick Williams at 423-339-8916 or Daniel Koob at 423-309-1389.
- Moonlight Walk: This is a community initiative taking place on Thursday night, 48 hours ahead of "Make a Difference Day," yet its organizers believe they too are making a difference. The annual Moonlight Walk is sponsored by CASA of Bradley County. The somber event gets underway at 7 p.m. on the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway near Cleveland High School. The Moonlight Walk supports the work of CASA and the life of Melisha Morgana Gibson, a 4-year-old victim of child abuse who died Oct. 13, 1976, in Cleveland. Her death stirred the moral conscience of the nation. For additional information about the Moonlight Walk, contact CASA of Bradley County at 716-1844 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the CASA of Bradley County Facebook page and link to the Melisha Gibson "Light of Hope" page.
"So many individuals, groups and organizations are doing extraordinary things in Cleveland on Make a Difference Day," Rowland stressed. "And some are even being done in advance of Saturday or even just a little later. Even if it's not happening on Saturday, we know it is truly making a difference in the lives of others."
He added, "And that's what Make a Difference Day is all about. I thank everyone who is getting involved. I encourage others to follow their path to other projects that can be just as heartwarming."
(Editor's Note: The above list is not intended as an all-encompassing look at what's happening locally on "Make a Difference Day." Most likely, many other activities will be taking place. Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland urges that all be reported to his office for inclusion in his annual "Make a Difference Day" report to the national organization.)

Simple, wasn't it? Piece of cake.
Any authentic baseball fan more than nine years old and 48 inches high immediately grasps the significance of these magical figures, because statistics, for better or worse, are the measure and mantra of a true fan's passion.
Joe DiMaggio, as everyone knows, hit safely in 56 straight games--the sturdiest record in the book. In 1961, Roger Maris belted a record 61 home runs--a record not so safe these days. The peerless Denton True "Cy" Young, for whom the game's annual pitching awards are named, won an astonishing 511 games--a total that any two great current pitchers put together would have trouble matching. Hank Aaron hit 755 lifetime homers, demolishing Babe Ruth's "untouchable" major-league mark of 714. The great, greatly detested Ty Cobb held a similarly unassailable record of 4,191 career hits until the great, greatly detested Pete Rose stormed past him in the 1980s. Cobb had a lifetime batting average of .367. Forget it. God himself couldn't hit .367 lifetime.
Three? That's the number of fingers on the legendary Mordecai Brown's pitching hand. And the number of errors ex-New York Mets shortstop Elio Chacon once made on a single play. In the estimation of the late major-league owner Bill Veeck, it also connotes baseball justice: "You get three strikes," he said. "Even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off."
Two is the number of times Andre Dawson came within shouting distance of the RBI record for a single season, which is a colossal 190. And one--one is the number of 5' 6", 195-pound Chicago Cubs outfielders wearing size 5 1/2 shoes who hold that record.
The man's name is Lewis Robert Wilson. Hack Wilson. And for 67 seasons, no one--not Hammerin' Hank, not the Mick, not Ken Griffey, father or son--has begun to threaten his achievement. Not until this year, anyway. On July 5, in his final game before the All-Star break, the Texas Rangers' big, rangy right-fielder, Juan Gonzalez, struck a pair of two-run homers off Seattle's scary fastballer, Randy Johnson. That upped Going Going Gonzalez's 1998 RBI total to 101, and if he wasn't already a serious candidate to finally topple Wilson, he became one that night.
As any hitter worth the name can tell you, a hundred runs batted in makes for an admirable, contract-enhancing season. To do it in 85 games is a major miracle--even in a year when no fewer than five sluggers, led by the Cardinals' Mark McGwire, have a shot at Maris's home-run record and pitchers suddenly have the life expectancy of infantrymen at Verdun. Hitting in a Texas lineup that features plenty of power, clean-up man Gonzalez consistently has teammates on base when he gets to the plate, and he's come through in the clutch like never before.
Baseball people agree: Only the wilting heat and humidity of Dallas in late summer or the grind of the long season can likely keep the modest, likable young star from surpassing one of baseball's most cherished records.
Nothing against Juan, but I hope he falls on his butt in the second half of the season--or at least a few ribbies short of 190. Because if any player in history still deserves a break from the baseball gods and a star on the books, it's Hack Wilson.
You've probably heard part of the story. In a nutshell: Good hitter, bad drunk. Although he was one of the greatest players of his era--in the early Thirties, his salary was second only to Babe Ruth's--Wilson's off-field antics earned him such ill repute with the stainless moralists who presumed to run baseball and the teetotaling saints who wrote about it in the papers that he wasn't voted into baseball's Hall of Fame until 1979--45 years after he played his last game and 31 years after his death.
"He was a very irresponsible type of fellow," ex-teammate Waite Hoyt once told a reporter. "He would have been better off if he knew his limitations." Instead, Warren Brown once wrote, Hack liked to hit high balls even more off the field than on it. Wilson entertained the public, friend and foe, deep into the night in the saloons of Chicago and tended to the damages in the only way he knew how: For every quart of whiskey he drank in the wee hours, it was said, he downed a quart of milk before game time.
In his last season, with the Dodgers, a badly hung-over Wilson was daydreaming in the outfield one afternoon when Brooklyn pitcher Boom Boom Beck (so named for the frequency of the hits he gave up) got yanked from the game. Angry, Beck threw the ball from the mound into the outfield fence. Roused from his slumber, Wilson promptly ran it down and threw it home. The end was near.
Bandy-legged, barrel-chested and bull-necked--he wore an eighteen-inch collar and swung a huge, forty-ounce bat--the tiny fireplug of an outfielder began his career in 1923 with John McGraw's New York Giants and quickly became a crowd favorite. But a clerical error by the Giants' front office left him on the open market, and he found himself in Wrigley Field for the 1926 season. In the next five seasons he led the league in homers four times, and over that span, only Ruth and Lou Gehrig drove in more runs.

One of our biggest E3 2012 disappointments was the lack of Zelda Wii U shown. Nintendo revealed a new entry in the series for the Wii U was in the works at E3 2011, but later clarified that it was just a prototype.
Since then we've heard nothing about it, Nintendo didn't reveal anything this year - as it was expected to do - but was cheeky enough to show off the same prototype video again. With Nintendo refusing to throw us a bone we've been forced to come up with our perfect Wii U Zelda game in our heads.
As always we've compiled a few of our ideas and thrown them into the list below. Let us know what you want from Zelda Wii U in the comments below.
The Kirby look
The Zelda series cycled through a number of distinct visual styles, from the realistic aesthetic of Twilight Princess to the gorgeous cel-shaded cartoon style of The Wind Waker and the DS spin-offs.
The prototype Zelda Wii U video showed off a style that looks to be a mixture between Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, but we'd like to see Aonuma and the gang come up with something more unique. Our suggestion is something similar to the textured cloth aesthetic used in Kirby Epic Yarn.
Nintendo is already using something similar for the Zelda mini-game in Nintendo Land, we'd love to see the vast Hylian landscapes in the same style.
Full Motion Plus
Years of playing Zelda with traditional controllers meant we were very cynical going into Skyward Sword, but after an hour we found the Wii Motion Plus control scheme to be intuitive and - more importantly - a lot of fun. Instead of letting muscle memory take over during combat we were forced to constantly pay attention when swinging our sword.
We're hoping Nintendo holds on to this control scheme for the next Zelda, it worked too well to discard it. The platform holder has already said the Wii U hardware will support all existing Wii accessories and controller which means it could essentially refine the coding work done for Skyward Sword for the new game.
Of course this would mean the GamePad would have to be used for something else...
