Mendoza, Blanton square off seeking first victories
The Royals' brief homestand in the midst of a stretch in which they play 12 of 15 games on the road did not exactly go as planned. After being swept at home by the Yankees over the weekend, the Royals will look to get back on track Monday when they embark on a nine-game road trip, starting in Anaheim against the Angels.
With the sweep, Kansas City has now lost six of its last seven games entering its 10-day West Coast swing. The Angels, meanwhile, took two of three from the White Sox in Chicago but were one-hit by Chris Sale in Sunday night's series finale.
"We had a little bit of momentum going into tonight, but we have a long homestand coming up and we have to take advantage of being at home and playing in front of our fans cheering for us, and we have to get on the right foot tomorrow," Mike Trout said after Sunday's loss. "Tomorrow's a big game for us. We just have to take it one series at a time; try to win a series."
Monday's series opener will feature a battle of starting pitchers each seeking his first victory, as Kansas City's Luis Mendoza (0-2, 6.38 ERA) toes the rubber opposite the Angels' Joe Blanton (0-6, 5.66 ERA).
For Mendoza, the outing will mark the first time this year he has made a start on regular four days' rest. His first two starts came on April 6 and April 12, respectively, then -- due to team off-days -- he didn't pitch again until an April 24 relief appearance against the Tigers. He has since made starts on May 1 and Wednesday.
"The more you pitch, the sharper you're going to be," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He was in so many inconsistent situations -- nine days one time, 12 days another. When you get locked into a five-man rotation, it just helps you. Like a hitter playing every day, that's your rhythm, that's your routine. It makes it a lot easier."
Mendoza made an impressive season debut, allowing just one run on two hits over six innings in that April 6 outing, yet has struggled since. The righty has allowed at least five runs in each of his other three starts, lending credence to Yost's theory. The key to Mendoza picking up his first victory in Monday's series opener, according to Yost, will be the way he utilizes his offspeed pitches.
"He's got to keep his sinker low and command his breaking ball," Yost said. "And when he does that, he's going to be in good shape."
As for Blanton, the Angels are just hoping he can keep doing what he's done in his last three starts -- despite the unfavorable win-loss record. The right-hander has turned in three consecutive quality starts, yet with the Angels managing just four combined runs in those contests, he's been left with three straight losses as well.
"It's a team game," Blanton said after allowing three runs over 6 2/3 innings against the Astros on Wednesday. "Our goal is to win games ... but it does feel better to at least contribute and at least give us a chance when I'm out there. The first couple starts, I wasn't doing that. And now I am at least giving us a chance."
Royals: Dyson to see time as leadoff hitter
Jarrod Dyson made his first start of the season as Kansas City's leadoff hitter on Sunday, something that may become more frequent in the future.
Dyson, who had batted either eighth or ninth in each of his six previous starts, made 39 starts at the top of the Royals' order in 2012. He went 1-for-4 with a double and scored a run on Sunday.
"Right now, we're still kind of fiddling with it," Yost said. "Dyson is probably our most prototypical leadoff guy. And days that he plays, he might move up there. We'll see, we'll just take it day to day."
Typically the Royals' fourth outfielder, Dyson has been getting more playing time recently, in part due to his incredible speed. He's hitting .258 (8-for-31) with one home run, one triple and five stolen bases in 16 games this season.
Angels: Bullpen on a roll
Despite dealing with numerous injuries to its relief corps, the Angels' bullpen has tossed 17 consecutive scoreless innings.
Relievers Ryan Madson, Sean Burnett and Kevin Jepsen are all currently on the disabled list, and setup man Scott Downs, who missed a couple of games earlier this month due to pain in his right side, just returned Saturday after leaving Thursday's game with an injured right foot. Through it all, the Angels have managed to rack up a 10-1 record when leading after seven innings.
"The one thing you can point to is our bullpen," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Our bullpen has really responded to the challenge of getting the outs we need."
Worth noting
• Blanton is 3-1 with a 1.76 ERA in six career starts against the Royals, though he hasn't faced Kansas City since 2007. The 1.76 ERA is Blanton's best against any Major League team.
• Kansas City has been outscored overall in each of the first three innings of games this season. Opponents are outscoring the Royals 60-37 in those three combined frames.

Drummers call taiko an affirmation of life
"Drumming is one way that people can find something so simple. It's just the beat — a heartbeat and rhythm of nature." —Russel Baba, Shasta Taiko Photo courtesy Plumas Arts
Plumas County is invited to experience the Japanese art of taiko when Plumas Arts presents Shasta Taiko at two public performances: Wednesday, April 20, at the Town Hall Theatre at 7 p.m. and Friday, April 22, at 7:15 p.m. at The Feather Community Art Center in Portola.
For Jeanne Mercer and her husband, Russel Baba, who founded the renowned Shasta Taiko group in 1985, the thundering rhythms of the taiko drum are more than just music — they're an affirmation of life.
"The first time I saw a taiko performance, it just blew me away because it was so powerful and physical," recalls Mercer, who is generally recognized as having the most years of experience among American women taiko players. "I thought it was wonderful, especially for the women, because it made them yell, shout and really express themselves in a very powerful way."
"Taiko has helped me gain confidence in myself and build self-esteem as a Japanese American," says Russel Baba. "I was born right after World War II and the attitude toward anything Japanese at that time had negative connotations."
"But teaching taiko to non-Asians has shown me that something like taiko is sorely needed everywhere," Baba adds. "There are basic life lessons that everyone could experience by active participation in taiko or other arts or cultural activities. There is nothing like playing drums with others and playing a big taiko is a very unique and powerful experience."
"Almost all of my compositions, I would say, come from the connection with nature," says Mercer.
"The material itself that we play on is natural," Baba notes. "I really enjoy that feeling of the drum — just of the wood and the skin. Then, living in nature, I just absorb it. I don't know if I consciously come out with compositions that way, but I feel that it does affect me. The presence of that mountain is there. And I also think of the connections to Mount Fuji in some ways, because my grandfather was from Yamanashi-ken, which is at the base of Mount Fuji."
Baba has also used the rhythms and instruments of taiko for experimentation. A versatile musician who also plays saxophone and flute, Baba has incorporated taiko with jazz for many years. Finding a balance between the two sharply contrasting musical styles continues to be an exciting challenge for him.
"Japanese seem to always have a very formal approach to anything, especially the arts," Baba says. "So for me, I feel like I'm between two worlds. Basically, taiko is formal. Everything is planned before — rehearsed and polished. The type of jazz I learned and love to play is more spontaneous, freer, looser."
"I'm just beginning to feel more comfortable about being uncomfortable, realizing it is healthy and reflects where I am — as an artist and as a person — in so-called conflict," Baba says. "Walking in two worlds — traditional/modern, East/West, form/freedom, mind/heart. And that may reflect where we all are living today."
He expresses optimism for what music may reflect tomorrow. Baba and Mercer's son, Masato Baba, is also an accomplished musician who has had a lifelong passion for taiko and has toured as a member of the Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble.
"It is really a blessing to see Masato develop as an artist and into an outstanding person," says Baba. "He is my inspiration and a teacher."
"American taiko and the modern taiko movement is a relatively new, growing art form," Baba observes. "Taiko is more than simply playing a drum. Playing music is more than hitting the right note or being on time. It may be more about centering and balance and maintaining tension, presence and effort with relaxation. It is a life experience and a nurturing experience. The act of playing and participating is life."
Admission to the Shasta Taiko performances will be a $5 donation per person at the door, but greater amounts would be appreciated from those who are able to pay. No one will be denied access to the performance for an inability to pay. Guests are encouraged to arrive at least 15 minutes early as capacity crowds are anticipated.
These performances are funded in part by a music-industry antitrust settlement; the California Arts Council, a state agency; and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Read full expert reviewThere are hundreds of great places to eat and drink in Edinburgh. Really we have come a long way from ye olde days of deep fried Mars Bars and haggis pies. There has been a revolution in the standard and food being both produced and cooked in this country.
With six Michelin-starred restaurants in the Edinburgh area alone, other restaurants and food producers have raised their game. As a result you will be spoiled for choice. Whether you want to spend a few quid or a shed load of money you can pick and choose the kind of food you like to eat in the atmosphere you like to eat it.
I have featured three of the Michelin-starred restaurants in town because they are my favourites. I will of course list the names of the others but I felt that, as Michelin is already a known standard, I should perhaps draw your attention to smaller, lesser-known establishments which would be easy to overlook.
Every country seems to have a different policy on tipping but here it is generally left to the discrepancy of the customer. As a rule of thumb I recommend 10% of the total bill. Sometimes if you have party of 8 or over they will automatically charge you 10% but it should state that clearly on their website or when you book. Occasionally a restaurant will add an automatic 10% service charge even if there are just one or two of you which I don't agree with and I have insisted they take the service charge off to make the point. I am happy to generously tip if the service is good, if not, I don't.
Each of the restaurants/cafes/coffee shops I have featured offer value for money, great food, consistency and excellent service. I have been involved in the restaurant industry in Edinburgh, both as a consumer and a professional, for over 20 years. During that time my husband started his own restaurant and expanded until we had eight sites in Scotland, he sold them three years ago - so there is no conflict of interest! In addition I was food critic for The Sunday Herald for a year, presented two series of food programmes on STV and was a judge in Channel 4's new food show Iron Chef. I have also been a judge for Restaurant of the Year for the past two years and am going through the process again late 2010 to be announcend February 2012/ To be frank, food is my obsession. I eat out all the time and I am very proud of what Edinburgh can offer.
Geographically I have tried to cover all areas of the city, with a natural concentration in the centre. I hope you find somewhere close to where you are staying. If not please let me know as feedback from you is paramount and I can rectify things.
On an ongoing basis I will keep my ear to the ground and review any new additions to the Edinburgh food scene, as well as monitoring all featured restaurants with a view to making sure what you read on this list is accurate as it is important you can rely on this.
Cheers! Enjoy!
Regards, Alison
1st November, 2010

Where did you begin your career?
Polo. I started in the retail store in Manhasset. Before my senior year in college I wanted to make some extra money so that I could have more fun. At that time Banana Republic was really cool, so I went to Banana Republic and I filled out an application, but they said I didn't have enough experience. When I was walking back to my car I saw the Polo store. I thought I would never get a job there but I might as well try. And I got the job.
So what made you decide to continue on this career path after working in retail?
When I started, I wasn't into clothes at all. I had no clothes. I bought my first blazer for five dollars because I needed one for my travel dress code when I was a college swimmer. The guy who handed out the towels, I asked him, where do you buy a blazer? He had an old blazer with a crest on it, an old heavy wool melton blazer. He said, just give me five bucks for it. That was my first blazer. That was the beginning of my love affair with blazers.
What keeps you in this business?
So when I went to work at the [Polo] store, the only reason I started working there was to make some extra money. I went to the store and it was really fun, and I loved it. I kind of really fell in love with the whole idea of working at Polo. So after graduating, I sent in an application and got a job at the warehouse. I started in the neckwear warehouse, and they really sold me on that. They told me Ralph [Lauren] started in ties, and you're starting in ties, and they kind of built it up. It was a job in the warehouse basically. And I liked that too. It was great people and a lot of fun. Then I really got the men's fashion bug. I just fell in love with product.
That's what's kept me in it, just the excitement of each season and developing product. The part I love most is selling it, communicating the vision, and getting people excited about it. So you know now it's probably more about the business and less about the product. I shouldn't say it's less about the product, but where I used to every day get rigged up in these elaborate Polo costumes, now styling is a little different for me, but my love of the business is the same.
What is your favorite part of your current job?
Working with design and our customers. It's working with design, especially with [designer Joseph Abboud], that's probably the most rewarding. Working with someone who has that kind of passion, it's just contagious and it's challenging. He's really committed to making great product which is what I believe drives the business.
The other facet is communicating that vision to stores. So for me, every day, every presentation, I still get nervous. I feel like I'm on stage to project what the vision is for Hickey Freeman, just like an actor is taking their script and becoming that part and they have to sell that story to an audience, or an athlete is paid to hit a home run. I'm amazed – I have an event tonight at a store in Connecticut and I'm nervous about doing a good job. But I think if you weren't nervous about the critical aspects of your job, you wouldn't be good at it.
How do you choose what you're going to wear in the morning?
The part I love about clothes is it's an extension of what you feel and who you are. That's why I've never been an automobile buff. I would think you would have to have 100 cars, because it's not really an expression of how you feel if you get in the same car every day. To me, if I was fanatical about automobiles, I would want to wake up one day in an old Defender, and another day a Ferrari, but I'm kind of content with my one car that's not particularly special in any way. I think that's what's really fun about it, is getting up and throwing together a look in a matter of minutes by looking at what I have. It's almost like art.
Today I'm travelling to a store in Connecticut that's about two and half to three hours away. So the reason for the jeans is that I don't like to sit in dress pants too long. You know that comedian Alan King? A lot of the old performers, they wouldn't put their suit pants on until right before they went on stage, because they wanted the crease and the profile and the silhouette to be perfect. So you had guys who the pants would be the last thing they put on. Picture somebody in their shirt, shoes tied perfectly, then they'd slip the pants over the shoes standing up. So they never sat down in them.
Before I leave [for Connecticut] I'll put the suit pants on. So this is the shirt I'm going to wear, I have the suit there [points to a garment bag hanging by the door], I have the tie in my bag, I'm ready to go. But to me, tonight, it's an event, there's going to be a lot of lobbyists there, so I'm wearing a solid navy suit. It is my Hickey Freeman Mahogany Collection navy Traveler suit– it will crease less. When you talk about the traveler you think of typically air travel, but today most people really could benefit from that kind of suit. For you and I, it takes two hours to get to work. That's travelling.
What does your closet look like?
Fortunately, my two girls prefer to be in the same room, so the extra bedroom became a walk-in closet which worked out perfectly. It's basically split up by season. It's sleeve suits and jackets hanging on the top and then pants on the bottom. All the suits are together. Then in the middle it's all folded sweaters, jeans, khakis.
I always get my shirts folded so then there are shirts stacked sort of like in a store. I think they travel better folded. No starch. I find now for the most part I fold my suits, too when I travel. When you have a full canvas made suit and the front is full canvas, there's no creasing at all. People are shocked, you'd think you wouldn't put a full suit in a bag, but I find it travels just as well.
The one thing that's really interesting to me is – my father was a pattern maker for women's clothes – and when we think about all the clothes we wear, especially tailored clothes, a jacket has three dimensions. And it all starts from a flat piece of paper. So anything that's well designed, it'll go back to its original shape. It won't go flat of course. But you can contort the suit and basically get it flat, fold it, and fold it in thirds. Just like you can do to the paper that made it. Everything starts flat.
I guess I've been at Hickey freeman for almost three years, so I have about 40 suits in the basement from prior lives. But I've become a really a collector of things. I have a lot of blazers. I love blazers. And I used to buy much more frivolous things. I think now I'm just more focused on what I want. Instead of having one blazer I have to have peak, notch, double breasted, linen ,wool, and a flannel blazer.
What's your favorite place to shop?
I would say my favorite places to shop are in Tokyo. Most of our industry goes to Paris, London or Milan to shop, but to me Tokyo is the height of retailing in the world. If you walk into a store when it opens, it's impeccable. The service is incredible. I love American style and it's sad to say this but when you go to Tokyo you see stores that specialize in American heritage and vintage. You see the modern American style. Also, you see a lot of American products. They have a great appreciation for our style of dressing which I think is very easy, natural. They also have a great love of specialty shops, more so than we have here.
I would say my favorite store in New York is the original Jean Shop on west 14th street. It's a cool store. The jeans are great, the products are great and it's just really true to what it is.
Where does your style inspiration come from?
Over the years I've been influenced by a lot of the people I've worked with, whether at Polo or Oxxford, and then of course here. Joseph [Abboud] has his own particular style. There are days that I dress, and I say I kind of "dressed very Joseph A today" but it's just influenced by seeing his style and curating it and making parts of it my own.

By Brian Lamar Strategic Communications
On March 18, the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) celebrated the awarding of its 5,000th Associate of Arts degree to Pfc. Tyler Rasmussen.
Rasmussen, a Georgia native, graduated from DLIFLC's 64-week-long Arabic basic course nearly 16 months after he began the program.
"I am definitely honored to have received this degree. Being the 5000th AA degree recipient is really extra special," said Rasmussen. "I didn't know it (DLIFLC) was an accredited institution and was excited to learn that because I had a lot of credits from college…and this was a way to get my degree."
"Keep the door open to DLI," said DLIFLC Commandant Col. Sue Ann Sandusky, addressing graduates, instructors and family members at the ceremony. "We hope you have not only learned the language but have grown spiritually and morally…We need the full spectrum of your talents," said Sandusky, adding that students could easily find themselves back at the Institute for an intermediate or advanced course, or even a new language. "You may become commandant some day." Rasmussen's future plans include obtaining another degree while in the Army, and possibly even a Master degree.
DLIFLC averages about 625 AA degrees annually and was formally recognized for academic excellence by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges in 1979. In 2002, ACCJC accredited DLIFLC as an Associate Degree granting institution.
Servicemembers who enlist in military positions that require language training typically attend DLIFLC after basic training. When a student completes a basic language program with passing grades and a qualifying exit exam score on the Defense Language Proficiency Test, they have automatically earned 45 of the 63 credits required for their Associate of Arts degree, according to DLIFLC's Registrar Office.
"There are a series of additional general education credits that students are required complete in order to earn the DLIFLC Associate of Arts degree," said Dr. Robert Savukinas, DLIFLC's registrar. "If a student at DLI successfully completes the basic language program and transfers another 18 credits in the areas of English, Math, Natural Science, Social Science, Technology, and Physical Education, they can earn their AA degree from DLI," Savukinas explained.
Since students are already required to complete the language classes with passing grades as part of their military training, the end result of getting a degree is just an added benefit.
"Students find it amazing that they are completing military training and are getting college credit for it. The feedback from students has been nothing but positive," said Savukinas. "Students at DLI are paid to study, which I think is the best type of scholarship around."

My fiancé gave me this ring yesterday. I had found it on line a month prior to our engagement and fell in love with it. But after reading and reasearching diamond clarity charts I was skeptical to have him purchase a lower quality diamond. Boy was I wrong. As soon as he handed this ring to me I was blown away by how it sparkles and catches the light. It is truly a bargain for the buy and I would recommend it to any couples with a low budget for their engagement ring. I am very pleased with my beautiful ring. The only complaint I have is that it is sold as a set. And the plain white gold band does not seem to match when worn together. Otherwise I am in love and will defiantly be using overstock again.
This is a pretty little ring for people on a budget. My children helped pick this out for me and I think it is just beautiful. It reminds me of the rings my aunts all wear from the 50s.
This ring is really stunning! It's smaller than the pic, but I was expecting that from looking at the measurements. Still, I'm a tall person with long fingers and this ring stands out on my hand for sure. I have received numerous compliments on it. It's very sparkly and catches the light beautifully. Sometimes I find myself just staring at it, amazed that it's mine and how pretty it really is. I would have liked for the band to have some bling on it as well, but it is a nice, simple band and it does work with the ring. For the bargain price of the ring, one can always upgrade the band down the line. All and all I'm very happy with this ring and would recommend it to anyone looking for something stunning and budget friendly.
i absolutely love this ring, if your a person who does not want a big diamond that gets stuck in everything and its on ur way specially when doing house work and running after the kids this is for you, its very comftorble very satisfied.
The ring is OK, the diamond is obviously low quality. I paid for 4-5 day shipping and the product took 15 days to arrive. Unacceptable!
When my husband and I got engaged he asked me to give him Ideas for a Wedding Ring set. I looked online at thousands of pictures before coming to overstock to look at their selection. When I found this ring I immediately told him that this is the one I wanted. This set is Beautiful. I've had my ring's for going on two years now and the diamonds still sparkle and shine like the day I got it. I couldn't be happier with our decision to purchase from overstock.
So I purchased this ring and after a week of my fiancè wearing it the smalll diamonds started falling out and now it has to be replaced. The ring is small, a lot smaller than it appears. The one thing I like about this ring is it has a good return policy so I can get a ring actually worth while.
The engagement band portion of the ring is very pretty, although I returned mine because a stone was missing. So quality appears to be suspect. The wedding band portion is very thin and unsubstantial and feels and looks like a piece of children's play jewelry. Quite disappointed with the piece.
I had picked out a few rings on overstock.com for my boyfriend to choose from to surprise me with. This is the one he chose. I was very disappointed in the difference of quailty between the picture and actual product. I knew it would be smaller and I was fine with that but I didn't expect it to look so cheap. We wont be ordering another ring from overstock.com and instead we will be going to a jewelry store where you don't get the false advertising of the product
I ordered it and the first one I got was missing two diamonds; so I got sent a replacement & had it looked at by a jeweler and it's perfect. There can always be lemons but I'm happy with my second one.

The much more sophisticated version of "w00t". Often used in variation with othe similar words. b00tz0rz can be a standalone exclamation, or it can be a concrete idea, ie. to w00tz0r one's b00tz0rz is to woot one's boots. This is closely related to rocking one's boxers, or r0x0r j00r b0x0rz.
The term was coined by the infamous KryptoniumFetus.
