There is more controversy in Augusta on Thursday following comments Gov. Paul LePage made about a state Democratic senator from Aroostook County.
Thursday morning, LePage held a rally at the State House saying he would veto the two-year state budget compromise deal approved by lawmakers last week.
The governor said he wants to meet with lawmakers to come up with a better plan. He also wants a 60-day extension of the budget to avoid a shutdown.
Afterward, Sen. Troy Jackson gave the Democrats' response to the governor's proposal. Jackson said LePage hasn't wanted to work with them and that Thursday's event was a last-ditch effort for him to get his way.
When LePage was asked about the Democrats' response, he said, "Sen. Jackson claims to be for the people, but he's the first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline."
LePage added, "He is bad. He has no brains, and he has a black heart."
The governor said he was upset that the budget process was playing out this way.
When WMTW News 8's Paul Merrill asked the governor if he knew these comments would be viewed as offensive by some people, he replied, "Good. It ought to, because I've been taking it for two years."
WMTW News 8 is waiting for reaction from Democrats to the governor's comments.

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series News and Notes
Race: CarCash Mudsummer Classic presented by CNBC Prime's The Profit
Date: Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Location: Eldora Speedway
Richard Childress Racing at Eldora Speedway ... Wednesday night's spectacle will be Richard Childress Racing's first appearance at Eldora Speedway in a NASCAR-sanctioned event. The inaugural event marks the first time in four decades that a national NASCAR series returns to a dirt track.
RCR's Camping World Truck Series History ... In 292 Camping World Truck Series starts, RCR has earned 28 wins, 37 pole awards, 110 top-five finishes and 179 top-10 finishes. RCR also earned the inaugural series championship in 1995 with Mike Skinner, and again with Austin Dillon in 2011. The organization has an average starting position of 9.5 and an average finishing position of 10.4.
Race Format ... This week's event at Eldora Speedway brings a different race format than the Camping World Truck Series is accustomed to normally. Following three rounds of practice, teams will qualifying using the normal timing system and two-lap format. This will place teams into separate qualifying races based on speeds. Each qualifying race will consist of eight laps. The top speeds from those races will advance into the main event. The feature race will consist of three segments, a 60-lap race followed by a 50-lapper and concluding with a 40-lap dash to the checkered flag.
Looking Different on Dirt ... The Mudsummer Classic will see a number of changes to the trucks than normal. Some of the differences to accommodate dirt racing will be no splitter and a mesh guard to protect the radiator. There will be a clear polycarbonate deflector (maximum 6 inches high by maximum 18 inches long) placed on the hood in front of the driver to deflect stones from the windshield and the rear of the truck will feature a larger spoiler. Goodyear will also be bringing a new tire based on a Dirt Modified tire.
Points Racin' ... With nine Camping World Truck Series races completed in 2013, Ty Dillon is fourth in the driver championship point standings, trailing the leader by 48 markers, while Brendan Gaughan is ninth in the standings, 77 points outside the top spot. The No. 3 team is fifth in the owner championship point standings and the No. 62 team is 12th.

Ty Dillon
No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet Silverado
This Week's Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet at Eldora Speedway ... Ty Dillon will pilot chassis No. 047 from the Richard Childress Racing stable in Wednesday's inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway. This Chevrolet was previously run as a No. 2 machine for RCR. During the 2012 off-season, it was transformed into a No. 3 Chevrolet and will make its first paces with Dillon this week.
Eldora Details ... This week's 150-lap event marks the first time the Camping World Truck Series will compete on a dirt track. Although the Series is new to the half-mile dirt oval, Dillon is familiar with racing at Eldora Speedway. He traveled to the Rossburg, Ohio facility in June 2012 to compete in the eighth annual Prelude to the Dream where he led laps in his heat race and finished second, qualifying the young driver fifth for the main event. He went on to finish ninth in the final rundown.
Slingin' Dirt ... The veteran dirt racer has collected some impressive stats since beginning his dirt career in 2007. Dillon has garnered more than 15 feature wins, including the 2008 All-Star Shootout at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the 2011 and 2012 DIRTcar UMP Modified Gator Championship at Volusia Speedway Park in Florida.
Grand Openings ... Bass Pro Shops, one of America's premier outdoor retailers, are projecting 21 new stores in areas across the United States including Seattle, Anchorage, Alaska and Little Rock, Ark. For more information on store locations, visit www.basspro.com.
Meet Dillon ... Dillon is schedule to participate in a question-and-answer session at the Team Chevy Stage on Tuesday, July 23 beginning at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Following the Q&A session, Dillon will sign autographs with fellow Camping World Truck Series drivers at an autograph session held in the multipurpose building outside turns three and four at Eldora Speedway beginning at 2 p.m. ET.
Double Dose of Dillon ... For the fourth time in their Camping World Truck Series careers, the Dillon brothers will compete against each other doing so at Eldora Speedway on Wednesday evening. The last time they were both in the same Truck Series event was at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2011 when Austin earned a 10th-place finish and clinched the 2011 championship, while little brother Ty posted a sixth-place result.
What are your thoughts about NASCAR competing on a dirt track? "This is really exciting for not only the drivers but also the fans. For the first time in my life, my two worlds collide and I get to race on dirt and in my No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet. I think it's great for NASCAR and for the dirt racing world. A lot of the fans from the dirt world will come out to the race, and a lot of NASCAR fans will get to experience dirt racing for the first time."
What do you think will be the biggest challenge going from asphalt to dirt? "These trucks race a lot different than the dirt cars. The dirt cars slide through the corners better than the trucks do. It could be anyone's race, really. No one knows what to expect. We've all been testing and have a starting point, but we won't really know what it's going to be like until we all get out there on the track together. It's going to be a great show for the fans."
Austin Dillon
No. 39 American Ethanol Chevrolet Silverado
This Week's American Ethanol Chevrolet at Eldora Speedway ... Austin Dillon will pilot chassis No. 058 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stable. RCR teammate Kevin Harvick raced this Chevrolet Silverado to Victory Lane at Martinsville Speedway in March 2012, after starting from the pole position, and he also posted a 12th-place finish in this truck after starting second at Martinsville in October 2012.
Dillon at Eldora Speedway ... Although this weekend marks the first time the Camping World Truck Series has competed at Eldora Speedway, Dillon is quite familiar with the half-mile dirt track having previously competed there in the Prelude to the Dream dirt late model event in 2011. He also won the pole for the World 100 dirt late model race in 2010 at the Ohio-based facility.
Welcome Back ... The Inaugural Mudsummer Classic at Eldora Speedway marks the first time that Dillon will compete in the Camping World Truck Series since winning the Series' championship in 2011. Since earning the title, the 23-year-old has earned Rookie-of-the-Year honors in the NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2012 and is currently competing for the 2013 Nationwide Series title while also running a limited NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule.
Think Green ... The No. 39 Chevrolet team will sport the black and green colors of American Ethanol this Wednesday at Eldora Speedway. American Ethanol, a renewable source of cleaner burning energy from the bounty of America's farmers, helps create new green jobs and a renewed sense of pride for the American worker, while helping to achieve greater energy security for our country. Launched by Growth Energy and the National Corn Growers Association, along with the support of other partners, American Ethanol is a breakthrough brand that seeks to expand consumer awareness of the benefits of ethanol and E15, and takes the NASCAR Green initiative to the next level. Since the program launch for the 2011 season, NASCAR® drivers have run more than 4 million miles on renewable Sunoco Green E15.
Road Trip Through the Heartland ... Directly after Sunday's Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland Speedway, Dillon traveled to Eldora Speedway in a Chevrolet Flex Fuel Tahoe and recorded his trip via a series of social media posts on Instagram (Austindillon3), Twitter (@austindillon3) and Facebook (Facebook.com/austindillon3). During his drive, Dillon engaged in a Twitter chat with fans and stopped at an American Ethanol POET biorefining plant in Portland, Indiana. He visited some of the heartland's farmers and helped to spread the word about the benefits of ethanol, a homegrown, cleaner renewable fuel that's also high-performing.
A Family Tradition ... For the fourth time in their Camping World Truck Series careers, the Dillon brothers will compete against each other doing so at Eldora Speedway. The last time they were both in the same Truck Series event was at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2011 when Austin earned a 10th-place finish and clinched the 2011 championship, while little brother Ty posted a sixth-place result.
Talk about going back to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the first time on a dirt track. "I can't wait. Eldora Speedway is a special place. I've been able to run a lot of dirt races there and sit on the pole at the World 100, which is probably one of my favorite moments of my career. Going back to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the first time is going to be cool. We left the series as champions and now we're going back there just to have some fun and try to win a race. It's a special race because it's the inaugural one and at Eldora Speedway, a dirt track. Man, it's awesome for NASCAR. I can't wait to see the fans out there and hopefully see what turns out to be a good race. We're bringing American Ethanol as our sponsor which works out great because I think the corn growers will really love it. Grass-roots dirt-track racing appeals to a lot of people."
You're a dirt guy, do you think you know more than some of these other guys? "I don't know. I got to test at Eldora Speedway with Tony Stewart and my brother, Ty Dillon. It's going to be slick and these guys are going to be forced into a new style of driving. You're going to really have to work on forward drive and being smooth on the wheel. It's going to be a fun race. I'm really interested to see how it turns out."
Do you like the format? Heat race, consi, feature? "Yeah. It's regular short track racing on a Wednesday night, similar to what you see every Saturday at your local short track with heat races. It will get wild."
Brendan Gaughan
No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Silverado
This Week's South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Silverado at Eldora Speedway ... Brendan Gaughan will pilot chassis No. 004 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stable in the series' first event on dirt at Eldora Speedway. This RCR-prepared machine was last utilized by the former No. 22 team at Dover International Speedway during the June 2011 event.
Going Back to Grassroots Racing ... Wednesday night's Camping World Truck Series event at Eldora Speedway marks the first national series NASCAR dirt race in more than four decades and is the Las Vegas native's first time competing at the Ohio-based facility. The Mudsummer Classic will also embrace the typical short-track style qualifying process; running heat races in additional to qualifying laps to help determine the starting lineup.
Not Afraid to Get a Little Dirty ... While Gaughan has yet to compete at Eldora Speedway, he is no stranger to dirt-track racing. The RCR driver has years of experience competing in off-road racing events, along with ample track time on West Coast dirt tracks. Most recently, Gaughan competed at Volusia Speedway Park in February for Team Dillon Racing.
South Point Hotel & Casino ... Opened in December of 2005, the South Point resort was the first megaresort located south of McCarran International Airport and the Las Vegas Strip. The facility consists of a 25 story hotel tower and 90,000 square feet convention center located on a 60 acre site along Las Vegas Boulevard in Enterprise, Nevada. South Point Hotel offers a total of 2,163 rooms and 160,000 sq. ft. meeting and convention space; the largest of any hotel in Las Vegas that is not on the Strip. For more information, visit www.southpointcasino.com or call 1-866-796-7111.
A Little Dirt Removal ...The South Point Arena & Equestrian Center can convert from an equestrian event dirt floor to a publicly ticketed multi-purpose venue with concrete floors in 18 hours.
Meet the Driver ... Fans will have an opportunity to interact with Gaughan when he visits the Team Chevy Stage during a fan question-and-answer session on Tuesday, July 23 from 1:30 to 1:50 p.m. Eastern Time. The South Point Hotel & Casino driver will then join other Camping World Truck Series drivers during a NASCAR autograph session from 2 to 2:45 p.m. ET at the multipurpose building located outside of turns three and four at Eldora Speedway. Gaughan will return to the Team Chevy Display Wednesday, July 24 for an autograph session from 10 to 10:45 a.m. ET.
In the Rearview Mirror: Iowa Speedway ... Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet team suffered damage from an incident in the early stages of the 200-lap event at Iowa Speedway, relegating them to a 31st-place finish.
What are your thoughts on racing at Eldora Speedway? "I'm more excited for this race than normal. I really wanted to run in the Prelude to the Dream that Tony (Stewart) used to have, so to finally be able to race Eldora (Speedway) is going to be so cool. I also have to applaud NASCAR for putting this race on the schedule. It took big time guts to add a dirt track back onto a national touring schedule after 40 years, and I am really impressed with the decision and the place they chose to do it."
How do you feel about the qualifying procedure NASCAR has implemented for this event? "The qualifying format, although it may be foreign to some NASCAR fans, is pretty normal in dirt-track racing. It's going to give the fans more bang for their buck and bring a great grass roots element to this event."

A soldier-turned-superhero named "Bagram Batman" is helping keep Army troops safe in Afghanistan.
The caped crusader is the star of a new series of PSAs put out by the U.S. Army and AFN Afghanistan showing how everyday trivialities can become deadly mistakes in a hostile environment.
He's even got his own Facebook page and Twitter feed.
"Bagram Batman may not be the hero the men and women of Afghanistan need.... But it's the one they get. Veiled under a cloak of valor, Bagram Batman battles idiocracy, mediocrity, complacency and poor table manners!" his Facebook page reads.
Each of the 30-second clips features Bagram Batman swooping in to educate a soldier about avoiding a potentially dangerous situation, according to the International Business Times.
In "The Bagram Batman vs. Headphones Guy" video, Batman warns a Taylor Swift fan about the dangers of wearing headphones while running on base.
"Where is your weapon?" he roars in another video, attempting to mimic the voice of Christian Bale.
At the end of each clip, he yells in a gravelly voice, "Swear to me!"

Fattoush (Lebanese "Crumbled Bread" Salad with Sumac and Pita Chips)
(Makes 4 large main-dish salads or 6 small side salads; slightly adapted from recipe sent to me by a reader named Lori. Thanks Lori, I love the salad!)
2 whole wheat pita pocket breads, cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide, then toasted and crumbled
2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 cup diced tomatoes (let drain a minute or two if extra juicy)
1 cup diced cucumber (same size as tomatoes)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley (leaves only, no stems)
optional ingredients: chopped green pepper or radishes (I didn't use either of these but Lori's recipe had green peppers and I saw several recipes that added chopped radishes.)
Dressing Ingredients:
1 tsp. chopped garlic (2-4 cloves garlic)
1 tsp. salt (I used fine grind sea salt)
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, about 2 large lemons (I love lemon, so adjust the amount to your own taste)
1 tsp. powdered Sumac, plus more for sprinkling on individual salads if desired)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Remove outer leaves from Romaine, trim stem end, then wash and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Cut Romaine into fourths lengthwise, then turn and chop crosswise into small pieces. (If you have a salad spinner, you can chop the Romaine first, then wash.) Put chopped Romaine into salad bowl large enough toss all ingredients.
Chop tomatoes, green onions, cucumbers, mint, and parsley and add to lettuce. Add about half of the dressing and toss, then add crumbled pita chops and toss again with more dressing. (You may not want all the dressing, but this salad should be quite wet.) At this point the salad should sit for a few minutes (or longer) to let flavors blend and so the pita chips absorb some of the dressing. To serve, arrange salad on individual plates and sprinkle with a bit more Sumac. You can also serve it in a large bowl with the Sumac sprinkled over.
When I first tested the recipe I made enough for two large salads, ate one for dinner, and put the rest in the fridge overnight. I was surprised how great it still tasted the next day, even though the vegetables were fairly wilted. When I made this for guests I tossed the salad together before they arrived, and it was perfect when I served it about 30 minutes later.

Poor color vision is a reduced ability to distinguish between certain shades of color. Although many people use the term "colorblind" to refer to the reduced ability to discriminate between some colors, true colorblindness describes a total lack of color vision. The ability to see only shades of gray is rare.
Poor color vision is an inherited condition in most cases. Men are more likely to be born with poor color vision. Most people with poor color vision can't distinguish between certain shades of red and green. Less commonly, people with poor color vision can't distinguish between shades of blue and yellow. Certain eye diseases and some medications also can cause poor color vision.

Authorities have arrested a man they believe is involved in an international eel-smuggling operation.
Police tracked the man down to a hotel in Hampton Falls and arrested him there Friday morning.
Police attempted to arrest the man earlier Friday, but he escaped wearing a set of handcuffs on one hand. The state police chopper and several K-9 units then searched the area of Route 1 in Hampton.
A New Hampshire Fish and Game officer got a tip that two men suspected of illegally fishing eels off the New Hampshire coast would be in Hampton around 4:30 a.m.
The officer made contact and arrested one suspect, but failed to arrest the second suspect, who began fighting him. The officer pepper-sprayed the second suspect before he ran away into the woods. The suspect took off with handcuffs on one of his hands.
State police said eel meat, sold overseas, can be worth $2,000 a pound.

A Queens woman has recovered her $5,000 life savings from a refrigerator her sister considered trash.
Magda Castillo told New York TV station WABC she had forgotten all about her secret hiding place until after her sister junked the fridge for $5 last week.
They went to the junkyard the next day, but it was too late.
The fridge had been smashed "like a pancake," Castillo told WABC.
The pair left, convinced they would never see the money again, but workers later used a forklift to pry open the crushed appliance and found the bills in envelopes and wrapped in plastic bags.
They alerted the media, and Castillo came back after watching the story.
"I saw on the TV they found my money," the Cuban-born Castillo told the New York Daily News. "I said, 'Oh my God, I'm very happy.'"
She and her savings were reunited on Tuesday.
And it's no more kitchen storage for her. Castillo said she now plans to put the money in the bank.

Milwaukee Music Video: See the eye-popping treatment for Dana Coppafeel & SPEAK Easy's latest single
A couple of months ago, local filmmaker Xavier Ruffin released one of the most visually arresting, made-in-Milwaukee music videos of the year: Klassik's partially-animated "Anything" video. Now Ruffin's done it again with a jawdropping treatment for Dana Coppafeel and SPEAK Easy's "One of These Kids." The catchy single, featuring Milwaukee's premiere rapper Prophetic, will appear on "Dana Coppafeel & SPEAK Easy," an EP that'll be released by local label Uni-Fi Records this spring.
A whole lot of "how'd they do that" moments in this video. I won't spoil anything. Just watch (but be forewarned, some f-bombs probably doesn't make it suitable for work). »Read Full Blog Post

Solace for the Children provides medical care, as well as education and leadership development for the children of war-torn countries. Since 1997, our organization has been inspiring volunteers to take children in to their homes and see that they have their critical medical needs met.
Wherever children are affected by war, Solace will offer the children healing and tools for bringing lasting peace, beginning with the children of Afghanistan.
Afghan children have been the innocent victims of war for more than 30 years. While many international efforts are working to rebuild necessary infrastructure across Afghanistan, even the most basic of human needs cannot regularly be met.
One physician for each 50,000 citizen struggles to do all within their ability, yet with little or no equipment in the vast areas of the country, and little medical training beyond simple basics available to these courageous individuals, they are forces to watch the children of their country suffer and die.
The Summer Program is a medical travel program administered June – August. Children who are casualties of war-torn countries, ages 7 – 12 are qualified for the opportunity to travel to the United States for six weeks and receive medical treatment that is unavailable to them.
Our Extended Program provides for youth whose medical situation requires urgent immediate care or more than six weeks of care. Recognizing the tremendous need for medical support of the Afghan children, Solace provides treatment for children whose conditions are too complex or...
Educational Programming that supports participants once they return home in a healthier state. Returning healthy to home, many of the children have the first opportunity to attend school. Solace provides basic support to make this possible.

Dancing lifts otherwise-creaky 'White Christmas'
Whether the locale is 1942 Guadalcanal or 2013 Milwaukee, it's easy to grasp the appeal of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," conjuring a time and place when we were younger and life was simpler — while also suggesting just how far away that yesteryear is.
Such holiday-driven nostalgia for days gone by was enough to pack the Marcus Center Tuesday night, where "Irving Berlin's White Christmas" — a 2004 stage adaptation of the 1954 movie — is spending Thanksgiving weekend before moving on. »Read Full Article

Weaver Continues to Dominate as the Angels Bring Their Losing Streak to a Halt
What's what? Oh. That. Why, yes, that is a lit halo to the right there. *beams* Jered Weaver pitched a complete game shut out tonight to lead the Angels to victory over the A's. With a record of 6 and 0 in the first 23 games of the Angels season, Weave now holds the franchise record for wins at this point in the season and is one of only four pitchers in Major League Baseball to go 6 and 0 in March and April.
I snapped the photo of the halo as we exited the game, having decided on a whim to catch the next Weaver start. Good decision. We managed to get to the game and to our seats just in time for first pitch, a rare feat indeed on a weeknight, and what a game. Weaver, of course, was very much on his game – ten strikeouts and only 1 walk. He did give up seven hits – three of them to Coco Crisp who really had a great game – but that is where the rest of the Angels came in, preserving Weaver's shutout and proving that the poor fielding of the Red Sox series was nothing more than a really bad four days.
Peter Bourjos, Torii Hunter and Vernon Wells all had great catches in the outfield. Jeff Mathis and Erick Aybar picked off Crisp at second on an attempted steal that saw Aybar sticking to Crisp like a burr and applying the tag as he overslide the base slightly. Aybar had another fantastic play, fielding the ball well onto the grass and executing a perfect leaping throw to first base just in time to throw out Daric Barton and end the 8th inning…okay, actually the Angels benefitted from the umpire's angle on that call. Seen from another angle, Barton was just barely safe, but it was a really close play and bad umpire calls will certainly cut both ways over the course of a season – see previous post.
And the bats decided to pay a visit again! Everyone hit tonight except for Jeff Mathis and Torii. Poor Torii. He usually heats up with the weather so April is not his best month to begin with and, after last season, I just plain think he's trying too hard. I'm sure his bat will not remain silent for very long. Wells singled, Alberto Callaspo doubled and then Howie Kendrick doubled to bring them both home in the bottom of the second inning to give Weave early run support. Timely hits by Bourjos, Aybar and Bobby Abreu provided additional runs.
All in all, it was a fantastic game for the whole team and the perfect cure for the Red Sox blues…until we visit Fenway next month where, hopefully, we can devise an even better cure, like winning a few games…but I digress. Even the Angels fans rocked this game. I am sitting here sipping hot tea to soothe a throat happily hoarse from cheering as I type this. Seth and I sat in the front of the Right Field Pavillion this evening and right field fans are usually loud and enthusiastic but tonight, everything was amplified and we treated the players to a cheering, yelling, clapping, sign waving frenzy of support. Asked at the end of his post game interview why he was pitching so well this season, Weaver first credited the rest of the team and then said "Maybe it's all of these great Angels fans who come out and cheer for us." And mentioned that the crowd cheering his name really pumped him up. How sweet is that? Lights out pitcher and great with the fans to boot.
Here are some photos I took of the game including my view from left center (4 rows behind the wall):
Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells discussing the catch Bourjos just made in center:

Talk about unstoppable! Weaver is simply SICK! Awesome that you got to see it.
So great that you were at the game and able to see the losing streak stopped in person. Must have been your presence that did it! Well, and with a little help from Weaver. Nice pics.
I hope Torii gets his bat back soon. He's always a fun player to watch.
Good Angels game for sure!. My poor A's… GRR!
I love the Halo pic btw!
Weaver is a serious AL west nightmare, and to think we gotta face him at least 2 to 3 more times, *ouch*
Good AL west baseball though, a blast to watch. Ya shoulda held up a sign with your blog addy on it! Ive got mlb tv. I coulda froze the frame and shot a pic of it to ya. Anyway, glad ya had a great time.
Great pics of the game. Looks like such a great time. Weaver is just a monster this season. Hope he keeps it up.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Jeff – He really is sick and just that much better to watch at the stadium where you can really appreciate that long, goofy, deceptive delivery.
Mark – Cool! It fun, one of the few remaining features from the original stadium.
Jane – Yeah, just a little help from Weaver, he he. Thanks!
Catherine – He was just on fire tonight all of the sudden so maybe we're getting there. So nice to see a smiling, bouncy Torii for the first time in a few games.
Jon – Thanks! It was a fun game all around. It looks like between your guys and my guys, the AL West is going to be the same tight race it usually is this season, despite what the critics and Rangers think. I would feel weird holding up a sign for the blog. Any sign I hold up will be for the team.
Mike – Thanks Mike! It was a lot of fun and boy do I hope so too.
— Kristen
The long, loopy delivery is very Weaver-esque indeed. I still remember him in a Redbirds hat, trying to stay warm at the ballpark while watching his brother blow Mets and Tigers away at Busch in '06. He sure has come a long (and better than his brother) way!
Jeff – Little did anyone know at the time that Jeff Weaver's kid brother was a future beast, because what are the odds? I love the loopy delivery and can see how it would be really tough on batters.
This is a very simple game…

Income investors should play it safe and steadyFebruary 03,2013
Every day in the financial markets, there are winners and there are those who, well, dont win.
Over the past few weeks oh, to be a stock investor. With the Dow Jones Industrial Average having climbed just under 1,000 points in the past month, a 7 percent return in 19 market days, and most major market indices within spitting distance of all-time highs, stock investors indeed have reason to rejoice.
Granted, theres no telling for sure if this trend will continue, but low interest rates and overall improved corporate earnings indicate that this recent advance could have additional legs.
Not so for investors looking for income. Stocks love low interest rates and greater certainty in earnings outlook. While bond and other fixed-income investments are not supposed to offer double-digit returns, many who purchase in these investments do so for income, particularly as one nears retirement or is in retirement.
After a career of work, responsibility to an employer, a family and building a nest egg so one can step back and take it easy a bit, the meager yields in income-oriented investments are rather depressing.
The downside to this interest-rate environment is that some people nearing retirement, unhappy with yields on safe investments, are abandoning their investment plan and venturing out into investments in search of higher yields and higher risk.
Unless you know the risk, its best to stay with what you know. If you are looking for yield as you near retirement, its important to look at income investments in a total return way and not just in the narrow definition of yield.
And re-invest everything until you absolutely need to take the money out for living expenses. The magic of compounding is really magic; the longer its working for you, the better.
Retirement funds with target dates are very popular. These are mutual funds that have a target date that you match with your own retirement date.
The idea here is that these funds become more conservative as you get closer to your retirement years. Right now the average yield in these funds is in the 2 percent range.
But if you look at the total return figures for these funds, the picture is a bit more encouraging. Actually not just a bit. Total returns in these funds for the past five years are in the 20 to 25 percent range.
For example, assume an investor put $10,000 in Vanguard Target Retirement Income on Jan. 1, 2008 the year of the financial market collapse. As of last week, that investor would have $12,317, according to Morningstar. Thats a 23.1 percent return.
Total returns on income funds have been respectable over the past few years. The total return on these funds has been healthy, especially when you compare it against the stock markets five-year performance of around 13 percent.
Its easy to lament the days of certificates of deposit that paid 8 percent returns and a time, not that long ago, of achieving a return that would provide a monthly dividend check one could live on.
We may not see those days for a long time. In the meantime, if you are nearing retirement and still have time to let compounding work on your nest egg, look for the overall return.
In the end, thats the number that really matters.

Brendan Gaughan Driver Diary: A Racing Deal, Shark Diving and the Nerd Machine
March 16, 2013
Author: Amy Henderson
Date: March 15, 2013
It really kind of stinks for the team the way the schedule is set us, because you don't get in a rhythm. You go one race, and you know, for the guy that wins at Daytona, it's great. He gets a month and half of being the only winner and the points leader. But for the rest of us, we want to get racing. With the RCR bunch, I was supposed to go to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was really smart on Richard's part; we took my whole truck team. Because the Truck Series was off, we took my truck team, and they were working on the car, and Danny Stockman and the No. 3 team in the Nationwide shop set the car up and then we took it and let our boys do the nuts and bolts. We took our truck, our trailer, and we sat in Las Vegas and watched it rain. That was a big bummer for all the boys. But that's part of the deal; no biggie. Now, we're having a busy stretch of testing. I'm sitting right now at Motor Mile in Radford, Virginia, testing all day. We leave Sunday for Texas Motor Speedway, so we're busy right now. It's not like we're just sitting on our butts saying, 'hmm, what do we do?' We're keeping busy and learning a bunch, but it does stink, because as a racer, you want to race. You want to get in a rhythm, you want to keep going, and you just kind of sit here going, 'Okay, well, I've got time off. My car chief took a vacation. One of our guys just had a baby, so it's nice for him…' but all of us are sitting here thinking that we want to get to the track and race.
The Truck Series needs to have a couple more races. The real reason for that being the sponsors; we've got to give them value for their dollar, and 22 races is not enough to give the sponsor value. It didn't save us money; it didn't save the teams a whole bunch of money having three fewer races. NASCAR knows this, and they tried to add a couple races to the schedule. They're still trying. They didn't get it worked out. They added a road course, they added the dirt track, so they've taken some bold steps. We've heard they're going to add a new short track to the schedule next year. They'll probably gain a track somewhere, so we'll probably get back to the right number of races. That's all you can really do, just add races. We need about three or four more races for the trucks. There's a big gap here where you could add one or two. There's another gap where you could maybe add one. I don't think it's anything that's vital; it just isn't good from the sponsor end because we needs those races for sponsor value.
Find out how Brendan Gaughan has spent the long early season truck series break. It's probably not what you expect!
Our Chevy was fast at Daytona. It was way fast. It was a bummer. Everybody looks at it and some people say, "what the hell, you're an idiot," and some people say they saw what happened. It depends on your point of view. I made a mistake on pit road that put us back further than we should have been. Then you only have one more stop to make the difference, and the guy that is pitting in the stall right in front of me happens to be two spots ahead of me on the race track. So, you want to get in front of him because that's the guy who gives you a good opening on pit road. I wanted to get by him, I set the deal up for about five laps. I kept watching Newberry, and the kid's never been to Daytona, so he's just trying to bide his time and be patient, but I kept making him look outside, and I made him open a hole. I was intentionally doing something to get him to open a hole. He opened the hole and I went through the hole. Once you're in the hole, I'm now basically at the mercy of somebody else to sit there and do the right thing. As soon as he felt me, he should have just moved back up, but he did not. And look, he'll never do that again.
There's a difference as a driver. If I'm at your rear bumper, just barely in there, yeah, I need to get out of there. If I'm pushing at your bumper, I'm not there. But if I'm at your rear tire, there's no more 'pretty much;' I'm there. So it's a deal where, he's a good kid, he made a mistake. You can say I got impatient, I got this or that. I had a reason to get there, and it wasn't impatience. I spent laps setting it up. It was just a racing thing. I got put in a bad spot—I put myself in a bad spot. He got in a spot where he could have got himself out of it, because once I committed, there's no getting out of there. There's no hitting brakes or anything like that. It's not a big deal. It was just a racing gig, that's all. It stinks for points, but we're going to go to Martinsville, my favorite place in the world, and we're going to go there and win a race.
We spent a lot of time during the offseason at our family's house in Colorado. We went up to Colorado and I had my 25-month-old skiing with me, and we went from the top of the mountain to the bottom. He's 25 months old and we went from the top of Vail Mountain to our house at the bottom. As a father, I don't know if there's any cooler of a feeling than watching your son accomplish something like that and being a part of that. It was so neat. I've been skiing since I was two and a half. It was just so invigorating to have my son and do that. It was neat. And then the new baby, there's a lot of sleepless nights, a lot of bottles and poopy diapers, but it's all worth it. It's all great.
Now it's race time, and they travel to a lot of races with me. I got a new sponsor, Alliance Coach. For the last couple of years, they gave me a coach for Daytona, because we're there for two weeks. Well, I finally talked them into giving me a deal for the year. The main reason for that is I can't expect Tatum and the babies to come and stay in a hotel if they're going to come watch a race. I've got to have a motor coach, a place for them to be. Alliance stepped up and gave me a sponsorship, and I go pick up my motor coach in a couple of days, and I'm excited about that. Now I get to have the babies at a bunch of races with me, and that makes me happy!
I'm a Dive Master for Lake Norman SCUBA. I do a whole lot of diving. As a matter of fact, I have a trip planned during one of our breaks, where I'm going out to this middle-of-nowhere island. I'm really excited about it. I'm taking the owners of Lake Norman SCUBA and a bunch of friends from Colorado and my wife, and the grandparents are going to watch the babies, and we're going to go do a big dive trip.
I'll dive anything. This place we're going to, there's no shipwrecks; it's all big animals. We're going in a season that has schooling hammerheads, whale sharks, giant Pacific rays—it's a big animal place. I tech dive; I'm a dive master, and I'm working on getting my instructor rating. I do a lot of diving and enjoy the hell out of it.
My favorite place to dive is this island called Soccoro Island. It's a protected area off of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico. It's like the Galapagos of Mexico. It's phenomenal. The giant Pacific manta rays are the most gorgeous animals you'll ever see. Shark diving is fun. Stephen Spielburg created a phenomenon that lives to this day. I love diving with sharks. There are a ton of sharks out there. We're hoping this year to see schooling hammerheads and whale sharks. I could go to heaven then, it would be amazing. It's unbelievable how the rays are. They're like dolphins almost; they're very social animals. They come and play with you forever, it's just really impressive. That's my favorite place to go right now. I'm a tech diver, and what tech diving means is that I can go past what's called the decompression limit of recreational diving. I can go deeper than that; 225 feet is my max depth right now. To do that, you carry four tanks, two on your back and two on your chest. I've been to the USS Oriskany that's off the coast of Florida. The cool thing about the Oriskany is that that's the boat that John McCain took off from when he got shot down in the Vietman War and became a POW. I've been inside it, we penetrated the wreck, and I've gone to the bottom of it at 220 feet down. I love tech diving. It's a phenomenal time. I love my diving. If I can be underwater or on a mountain skiing, that's where you'll find me.
There's a new Star Wars movie coming out in 2015. Lucas is a genius. He took some heat over the first three movies, so he got mad and sold the rights to Disney. They're probably the only company that has the money to do that correctly. I love the director; I do know the storylines and what they're supposed to be like. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like on film. I'm pumped. I can't wait until they come out. To watch them filmed would be another one of those heaven-type moments. It's cool. I'm waiting for them I think it's going to be done well, and they have the right people doing it. In this world, it doesn't matter if you're a race car driver or a movie producer, you need the right people.
Those deals are so cool. I'm just a geek like that. Have you seen my race helmet? It's called the Nerd Machine helmet. If you watched the TV show Chuck, it was a TV show about a computer geek that became a spy and a computer got put in his head. He worked for the Nerd Herd, which was like the Geek Squad, but he was just this everyday computer geek that became a CIA agent. I've had a chance to meet him, the guy that owns this, and they have a Website called the Nerd Machine. I'm a big dork. I'm a Chuck nerd, I'm a Comic-Con kind of guy, and I've got the Nerd Machine logo on my helmet.

Have you ever wondered why April Fools' Day (April 1) and tax day are in the same month? Maybe it's coincidence, or maybe it's a cosmic joke, or maybe, just maybe, it's exactly as it should be.
Maybe it's not funny at all. Think of it this way: an April Fools' prank is typically funny only to the jokester. Oh sure, the poor sap on the receiving end will pretend to laugh, pretend to be a good sport about it; but inside, they're either humiliated or planning their retaliation.
On tax day, it's usually the Internal Revenue Service that's the jokester, making you account for every stinkin' penny earned and spent during the year.
Well, listed below are five things the IRS doesn't want you to know, so that you can at least get a giggle or two at the IRS's expense ...
No. 5: They don't want to seize your assets
Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that you're delinquent on your taxes. IRS collection agents might threaten to seize your assets in order to scare you into resolving your tax issue. Don't get scared.
In most cases, it's too expensive and takes way too much time for the IRS to seize your assets. They have to not only identify and seize said assets, but they also have to sell them.
This is typically done via public auction, which means the cash they get will likely be less than the value of the assets seized.
So, although it's never a good idea to be delinquent on your taxes, just remember that the IRS really doesn't want to seize your assets. One exception to this, however, is your bank account. It's a relatively easy process and they don't have to bother with an auction. They might also try to garnish your wages.
No. 4: They would rather not go to court
If you should ever find yourself in trouble with the IRS to the point where a trial in a court of law looms over your head, you can take solace in knowing that they would rather not go to trial.
Trials are expensive, they can take a long time to reach a resolution and, if you have a good tax lawyer, the IRS (aka the United States government) risks losing more money than the issue is really worth.
The IRS is going to exhaust every possible avenue before actually going before a judge. Keep this in mind if you find yourself going up against tax agents threatening to haul you into court.
If you can come up with a reasonable resolution outside a courtroom, chances are excellent they'll settle.
No. 3: Their agents do make mistakes
Believe it or not, the IRS doesn't know everything. In fact, tax lawyers estimate they give the wrong answer to taxpayers' questions about 30 percent of the time.
Nobody's perfect. You expect mistakes from time to time, even from "experts," but 30 percent is pretty significant.
Of course, tax lawyers are also likely to tell you that in the event that the IRS gives you the wrong advice, you can't count on it if you're trying to dodge an accuracy related penalty. One exception to this could be if you are able to get the incorrect advice in writing; however, IRS agents are usually instructed to avoid giving written advice.
It is advised that you refrain from asking the IRS any question beyond the scope of what would be considered a rudimentary question. A wrong answer on even a question that seems to be simple could make your life chaotically miserable.
No. 2: It pays to be pushy
Sometimes in life you have to be a bit of a jerk. For some of us, it just comes naturally, we don't have to pretend. For others of us, it's a foreign concept that runs counter to how we would normally behave.

Lollygagging Through Late November
It's the end of November, the house is all put back together from the Thanksgiving holiday, the trade/acquisition speculation on the Angels sites has reached the silly stage – in many cases, intentionally so – and I could not bring myself to feign interest in USC vs. Notre Dame. So, what's a baseball fan to do? It was definitely time for Bull Durham…especially because I hadn't seen it in months!
Bull Durham is my favorite baseball movie by far and one of my favorite movies period. Shocking given the title of my blog, right? There are a number of excellent movies that depict baseball players, coaching staff and other baseball insiders and their crazy passion for the game. Bull Durham is certainly among them. It's well written, perfectly paced, filled with memorable characters and it does an excellent job of balancing all of the hope and promise of talent with the hard reality that a real career in baseball is unlikely for all but a very few and ephemeral for the majority of those few. What pushes Bull Durham over the top for me is how well it also shows the crazy passion of baseball fans. Besides, it's infinitely quotable. What's not to like?
A few months ago I found an older interview with Ron Shelton, the writer and director and a former second baseman in the Orioles farm system. Apparently, he has toyed with the idea of making a sequel several times but didn't know where to take it. If Crash goes back to the minors or gets the managing job in Visalia, he either leaves Annie behind or takes her with him away from the life she's created in Durham which is such a part of her character. Either way, the character dynamics are ruined on top of having lost Nuke and the cast of engaging background characters. Shelton said he just couldn't do that to his creation, a measure of restraint I applaud and wish more artists had the option to employ (because, like baseball, creating art is also a job and I realize there are many practical factors aside from the artist's wishes that go into such a decision).
Watching the Angels this year, however, in particular the dynamic of veteran pitchers interacting with a rookie catcher, I wonder if there isn't a different way to approach a Bull Durham sequel. Watching Hank Conger make his major league debut was a bright spot for me this season, even though he was shaky at times. I remember the pregame show before his first start, catching for Jered Weaver no less. Victor and Gubie showed video from an exchange with Weaver earlier in the warm-ups. So, I understand Hank's had a lot of questions for you. Gubie said with a knowing smile. Do you think he's going to be okay? Weaver laughed and said, I think we have Hank breathing normally now. He's going to be just fine. Weaver pitched a great game that night so Conger didn't have many reasons to visit the mound or work to calm him down. However, I also remember a later start for Conger where Weaver did run into some difficulties. He started to get flustered and pace around the mound before he finally gestured toward Conger seeming to indicate, hey kid, this is the part where you walk out here and talk me through this.
Until I saw that interaction, I had only thought about veteran catchers training rookie pitchers, never the other way around. But think about it, a wiser and somewhat bitter Nuke at the end of his major league career, trying to rehab his aging arm in the minors for one more shot at a major league season, works with a rookie catcher. But because he's Nuke, older and wiser is still far from wise. Make the rookie catcher inexperienced but talented and significantly more intelligent than Nuke, like Crash might conceivably have been at the beginning of his career, and suddenly you have what I think would be a very interesting dynamic where the catcher clearly does have a thing or two to learn from the pitcher's experience but can't imagine learning anything from someone who plays the buffoon so often. You would also have an easier time setting this story line back with the Durham Bulls where it wouldn't be unlikely that the Larry character – easily my favorite supporting character – could have worked his way up to the manager's position. Leave Crash and Annie out of it all together or have the characters make a cameo appearance attending the games, Annie still teaching at the community college and Crash probably a hitting coach for kids in the community and you would have…well…the closest I will probably ever come to writing fan fiction at any rate, LOL.
I don't know what resolution the Angels have planned in 2011 for the increasingly crowded catching situation. But if Hank Conger can keep improving on his batting average and on base percentage – he looked a lot better by the end of the regular season but then didn't do so well in winter league, so who knows – I would prefer seeing him as the back-up catcher with Mike Napoli in the lead catching role over a lot of our other options.

I love Bull Durham too and wish I could meet Ron Shelton to tell him. (Supposedly he lives here in the Santa Barbara area.) The movie was perfect for all the reasons you mentioned. Loved the story, the humor, the backdrop and, or course, the acting. You just made me want to watch it again!
I love Bull Durham Too! I've watched itmany times. Maybe I'll watch it again this weekend.
I think you would have loved to have attended this event
Jane – Oh, that would be neat to meet Ron Shelton if you ever get the opportunity. Well, I would definitely recommend popping Bull Durham in the DVD player. I found it therapeutic and Shelton has some fascinating things to say about the minor leagues if you let the commentary run…of course, you probably already know that🙂
Emma – You are right. I would have loved that event. I adore Ball Four. Jim Bouton has such a way with words and made the mixture of zaniness and worry in the clubhouse, on the bus, etc. really come alive for me. It's funny that you mention Ball Four because I picked it up for the first time when the only answer I could come up with to the question "What do I want to read?" was Bull Durham…and that isn't based on a book, so I bought Ball Four and loved it.
Lol, love the part where Weaver says to Conger "hey kid, this is the part where you walk out here and talk me through this." Classic. Check out my blog if you get the chance, you'll like what you see in my recent posts for the Angels.🙂
The Manoman
I actually have a signed script from the movie at home and it is a mandatory film choice once a month during the off season. Also on the mandatory list is "Eight Men Out", For The Love of the Game", "Major League" ( all 3) and "Chasing 3000".
Did you know Rays Hitting Coach Derek Shelton's Dad Ron Shelton played with the "Bull Durham" director in the minor leagues. One was an infielder (film Shelton) and the other a pitcher (the other Ron Shelton).
That is my 6 degree of Rays connections for the day besides the Durham Bulls are the Rays Triple-A affiliate.
Great movie…Think I will re-watch it again tonight.
Rays Renegade
I was glad that Ron Shelton was part of the panel discussion of the Ball Four turns Forty event. I only wished I had taken my Bull Durham dvd but I got to talk to him for a little bit and had my picture taken with him.
manoman12 – Weaver never actually said "Hey kid…", it was my interpretation of his body language and gestures but I think I got the sentiment right. Both of the Angels announcers are former pitchers and this interaction got them cracking up and trading training newbie catcher stories, LOL. Thanks for dropping by and for the link. I will be sure to check it out.
Rays Renegade – Signed script! Droooooool. Yeah, I usually watch Bull Durham once a month or so when I stumble across it on cable, but I haven't found it in a while so I had to break out the DVD and will have to do that more often. It looks like your mandatory baseball movie list overlaps mine a fair bit. I _love_ For Love of the Game and Eight Men Out. I will have to check out Chasing 3000. That's one I have not seen.
Emma – It would have been nice to have a signed DVD too, but getting to chat with him and getting the photo probably more than make up for it. Very cool! I am surprised I didn't hear about this event. The Burbank Central Library is old childhood stomping grounds for me and my parents still live and work in Burbank. I'm going to have to raz my Dad about not knowing and/or telling me about this, LOL.
Hopefully their catcher situation turns out better than their 3B situation. Uh… *cough* Brandon Wood *cough*.
Jeff – Yeah, I don't think the Angels 3rd base situation could have been worse if they'd tried. Wood was so bad that at one point I was suggesting the Angels trade him to Humble Pie for beer, a'la Almost Famous.

No. 5: Coronado Beach - San Diego, Calif.
The Travel Channel has called Coronado Beach one of the best in America, citing its near-perfect weather and sprawling stretches of clean white sand. Coronado is perhaps best-known for the national historic landmark Hotel del Coronado, the finely restored, red-roofed Victorian-era inn that has beckoned tourists to the shore since 1888.
But locals and tourists alike fall in love with the beach itself because there is so much to do there -- Coronado is a favorite of for sunbathing, volleyball and other beach sports, and swimming nearly year-round.
There's also a great bike path, tide pools to explore, nearby off-leash dog park and fire rings. In January through March, visitors might spot whales migrating south.
But maybe the best thing about Coronado is that it has the widest expanse of sand in San Diego County -- plenty of room to fly a kite or simply unfurl a beach towel for a quiet nap under the California sun.
Best Beach No. 4: Georgia on my mind

Gopher brokeJuly 17,2014
Ive always hesitated to call myself a gardener merely because I have a garden in
the same spirit that I dont refer to myself as a Buddhist simply because I spend a period of time each day sitting vacuously in front of a set of houseplants, hoping to eventually absorb what they theoretically have to offer. Though Ive been doing this for decades without any discernible learning on my part, Im afraid to skip a day because that might be, you know, the day when the bromeliad goes all Fantasia. Id hate to miss that.
Im also aware of how pretentious Id sound. Some things are truly better left unsaid. I garden clandestinely as well. Partially because Ive spent half my life wondering (too audibly) why people bother particularly in Vermont. My most recent venture finds me unable to avoid slinking out there each day lest something important elude me: a tender shoot thats not a weed emerging from the soil; a tiny lettuce leaf the moment before its consumed by slugs; or that one deerfly swarm that will provide enlightenment via proximity to utter madness.
The seemingly repetitive nature of my life sometimes reminds me of Groundhog Day. Which brings me to the gopher, which, despite my abundant sensitivity, must depart at least my garden and perhaps the Earth itself. Im in a grudge match between compassion and having enough parsley to make a credible linguine in white clam sauce.
It took me awhile to figure it out where the few vegetables I actually grew last summer were going, and I truly didnt get it until I actually saw the beast standing on its hind legs eating an apple, looking like a small man in a fur coat before the 1946 Yale-Harvard game. I thought at that moment, He has to go. My larger dilemma was how. Which brings me to the raccoon. Full disclosure: This would not be my first encounter with wayward vermin.
Back in late November as shadows lengthened and temperatures plummeted, feeding birds seemed like a logical way to connect with the natural world as I doddered through my first winter of retirement. Far less logical and exponentially more surreal was my dispatching said raccoon with a shovel. As he crouched malevolently near where I was doling out black sunflower seeds, I assumed his intentions were maladjusted, given it was noon and his species was generally nocturnal unless gripped by lunacy.
I would love to say the animal reared up and came at me, teeth bared, foam spewing from its razor-sharp fangs, and I feared for my safety. But that was not exactly how it happened. Looking back, it feels perpetrated by someone else. Certainly not the bodhisattva of the chickadees. Initially, my own intention was to fetch the garden hoe, quickly spin him around, tap his hindquarters and send him on his way, back to the forest where he would happily live out his days. Had only he agreed to leave quietly.
Although his teeth were visible when he awkwardly aimed himself in what he believed to be my direction, and he did make a noise similar to a slow leak in a truck tire it became quickly apparent that hed had a rough day and was not particularly threatening per se. However, his appearance was straight out of an Animal Planet production of Saw III. Im not a veterinarian, but I estimated his actuarial table to be shrinking with each hiss.
My first instinct was that termination with extreme prejudice was the most humane way to go about the delicate task of transitioning him to the big cornfield in the sky. But to do that without having the yard look like the Manson Family had been joy-riding through the neighborhood, I needed to exchange the hoe for something duller. If blunt force trauma is the objective, something ... blunt, like the shovel, seemed in order, a dull thud clicking the lights off and wed be home free. At least I would.
Id always had pretty good hand-eye coordination: swinging a baseball bat or manipulating a pool cue but unless you count midnight Wiffle ball on New Years Eve hadnt practiced either skill for a good long time, and my timing and accuracy left something to be desired. Not to mention the psychotic vermin turned out to be surprisingly resilient a par 3 with a double bogey as I recall.
Which brings me back to the groundhog dilemma. Asking around, I learn often in hushed whispers that even the other crunchies who recommend Havahart traps hesitate uncomfortably when asked, Then what? Since it is illegal in Vermont to do anything with a captured vermin except release it at the point of capture probably right back in your garden or humanely dispatch the thing, options are pitifully few and generally Darwinian.
The gopher and I unbeknownst to him and surprisingly to me had entered a several week period of peaceful coexistence, which worked as long as our respective territories did not intersect as they appear to have this morning, when all the basil from the deck planter was gone and no one was having pesto on their granola. This could be bad. Im not sure what to do. Ive got the Dalai Lama on speed dial, but hes not picking up.

Alternative Tentacles, the label that has been re-defining what "punk" is for over 20 years has struck once again with The PHANTOM LIMBS on their debut album Applied Ignorance.
Jello Biafra thought they were the strangest band he had EVER seen at Gilman St. that the crowd went stark raving nuts for.
So how the hell do we describe this? We prefer not comparing them to other bands but we can't resist comparing them to a cross between the Screamers and Gilbert & Sullivan gone terribly wrong. Eerie, grinding keyboards mixed with driving bass, thundering drums, wall-of-sound guitar and frantic, desperate vocals.
The Phantom Limbs have subjected West Coast punk, goth, metal, and indie audiences alike to their psychosis with equal appreciation since the late 90's. Like a carnival sideshow, The Phantom Limbs thrive equally on the awe and anxiety of the crowd. Their music is a swirling amalgamation of old school punk, deathrock, and no wave mixed with the theatre songs of, say, Kurt Weil. Like so many of the great Alternative Tentacles' bands in the past they are a must-see live. Their live shows have become stuff of legend with singer Hopeless invariably naked or covered in grease paint, duct tape, wrapping paper or substances of unknown origin. Crowd interaction is mandatory, with Hopeless sometimes going so far as to handcuff himself to unsuspecting fans.
Their debut single has been a favorite not only on college radio, but among punk and deathrock DJs in clubs at home and in Europe.
Expatriates from Los Angeles, the members of The Phantom Limbs have previously lent their talents to such cult faves as The Boyscouts of Annihilation, Anal Kitties, Scurvy Dogs and Black Ice. They now find themselves quite at home among the run-down, piss soaked streets of Oakland.
