Brian Scott
No. 2 Shore Lodge Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's Shore Lodge Chevrolet at Michigan International Speedway ... Brian Scott will pilot chassis No. 117 from Richard Childress Racing's NASCAR Nationwide Series stable in Saturday afternoon's Alliance Truck Parts 250. Scott drove this Chevrolet Camaro to an eighth-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in April and a 15th-place finish, after qualifying fourth, at Charlotte Motor Speedway earlier this season.
Scott's Irish Foothills Stats ... The 25-year-old Chevrolet driver has three Nationwide Series starts at the two-mile Brooklyn, Mich. speedway, accruing his best finish of ninth in this race one year ago. Additionally, the Nationwide Series competitor has a 100 percent lap completion rate at the speedway.
Pointing Out the Points ... After 12 series events, Scott sits eighth in Nationwide Series driver point standings just 64 markers out of first place and seven points out of fifth.
12 Down in 13 ... Scott and the No. 2 Shore Lodge team have notched six top-10 finishes, with an average finishing position of 12.5. The team's best start of third came one week ago at Iowa Speedway, and finishes of sixth at Daytona International Speedway and Iowa Speedway.
Lodging in Idaho ... Shore Lodge will serve as the primary sponsor for Scott and the No. 2 team this weekend at Michigan International Speedway. Set on the southern shore of Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho, four seasons of adventure await at this idyllic location. A family favorite since 1948, the travel destination allows guests to enjoy the spectacular views, friendly service and generous accommodations at the lake front resort. Shore Lodge serves as the perfect mixture of adventure and luxury featuring 26 spa adventures, fitness studio, golf privileges at Whitetail Club, jet skiing, and a private beach for guests.
Race Rewind ... In this event last year, Scott started from the 17th spot and finished ninth, a career-best Nationwide Series finish at Michigan International Speedway.
How do you think the newly paved surface will differ now that the Nationwide Series is returning for a second time? "It was noticeably faster for everyone last year; I think a lot of teams learned a lot in their first trip to Michigan (International Speedway) with the newly paved surface. So, going back it's going to be a much more competitive field. Teams will make strong adjustments and have an understanding of what they need to have a better race. When everyone shows up they'll be within the ballpark of the feeling they want and then work towards running well, which will make the competition that much stronger."
With Michigan International Speedway being so wide and a new surface, do you think the groove will open up more? "I like the fast racetracks, I hope the groove widens out and I hope we'll be able to move around to race a little more. Typically, the groove widens as tracks wear out. You'll get tire degradation and as the tires fall off, the groove widens as drivers search for grip. With Michigan being a newly paved track there's no need for that, but the grooves will widen out as time goes on."
With the track being so fast, do you use the draft on the straight-aways? "When you come out of turn two, it's similar to drafting of a superspeedway with flat corners, but you have to put a little bit more of a premium on drafting, passing and aerodynamics on the straightway as you jockey for position; which makes it more interesting."
Austin Dillon
No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's AdvoCare Chevrolet at Michigan International Speedway ... Austin Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 105 in the Alliance Auto Parts 250 at Michigan International Speedway. Dillon drove this Chevrolet Camaro to an 11th-place finish at Darlington Raceway in May 2013. In 2012, Dillon raced this Chevrolet to a fourth-place finish at Iowa Speedway in May and a fifth-place finish at Auto Club Speedway in March.
Dillon at Michigan International Speedway ... In two previous Nationwide Series starts at Michigan International Speedway, Dillon earned his best finish of fifth in last year's event after setting a new track record earning the pole award. He earned a 19th-place finish after starting 37th in 2009.
Etc ... In addition to his Nationwide Series experience at Michigan International Speedway, Dillon has one NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start at MIS in which he finished 24th after starting 22nd in 2012. He also has two Camping World Truck Series starts earning his best finish of fifth in June 2010, after earning the pole, and one ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards start, earning a second-place finish after starting 36th in 2009.
Going for a Record ... Dillon currently has three-consecutive pole awards in Nationwide Series competition and will set the record for most consecutive poles in series history if he is able to earn the pole award at Michigan International Speedway this weekend. The Welcome, N.C. driver earned the pole at Michigan one year ago, setting a new track record.
The Season So Far ... According to NASCAR's Loop Data Season-to-Date Statistics, Dillon leads the Nationwide Series in Average Starting Position (4.2), ranks second in laps in the Top-15 (88.5 percent), has led the third-most laps (257), ranks fourth in Fastest Laps Run (113), is the fifth-Fastest Driver on Restarts (8.750), ranks fifth in Average Running Position (9.598) and ranks fifth in Laps on the Lead Lap (94.54 percent).
Spark your Engines ... Dillon and the RCR team will sport the colors of award-winning premier health and wellness company AdvoCare on the No. 3 Chevrolet at Michigan International Speedway. AdvoCare offers nutrition, weight loss, energy and sports performance products of the highest quality developed through comprehensive research and backed by a Scientific and Medical Advisory Board. Dillon trains with AdvoCare products throughout the week and is a distributor as well. For more information about Dillon's favorite products, including Spark, Rehydrate, meal replacement bars and Post-Workout Recovery, visit http://www.AdvoCare.com.
AdvoCare Supporting the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma ... If Dillon wins this weekend's Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway, AdvoCare will make a $5,000 donation to the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. The health and wellness company will pledge $2,000 to CIPT for a top-five finish and $1,000 for a top-10 finish. So far this season, the No. 3 team has raised $10,000 towards the cause. The Childress Institute invests resources in research, education and awareness to improve the treatment for critically injured children in the U.S. and AdvoCare's generous donations are aimed at helping to raise awareness for pediatric trauma, the No. 1 killer of children in America. You can help save the lives of injured children by making a contribution to the Childress Institute in two ways: donate $33 in honor of Dillon via his website, or text WIN to 80077 to make a $10 donation.
Everyone says Michigan International Speedway is a place where you used to be able to pick your lane, but now it is totally different since the repave. Is that true? "Yes, it is. The track is so fast in one lane right now and that lane is going to move up as time goes on, but it's going to take a while. Michigan International Speedway was getting so racy from top to bottom with the pavement wearing out before the track was repaved last year. It will take a few years to get it back to the most race-able it has been, but it is still a very fun race-able track and there is a lot of racing out there."
Marcos Ambrose laid down a 203 mph qualifying lap in the Sprint Cup Series last time he was at Michigan International Speedway. When you are at a track that fast do you get that sensation of speed, or is it all kind of relevant since you do that every week? "Well, you do get the sensation of speed. When you are going down the straight-a-way and things are passing you and you're not seeing them in your peripheral vision, that's speed. So, it makes it fun to go to places like Michigan International Speedway, especially when you carry that kind of average lap time."
Paul Menard
No. 33 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's Rheem/Menards Chevrolet ... Paul Menard will pilot chassis No. 107 at Michigan International Speedway. This No. 33 Chevrolet Camaro was previously run this season at Auto Club Speedway. It was also utilized last year at Michigan International Speedway where Menard drove to an eighth-place finish.
Stats In The Irish Hills ... Menard has seven NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at Michigan International Speedway. His best start of first and best finish of fourth both came in 2011. The Wisconsin native has completed 877 of 878 laps attempted (99.9 percent) at the Brooklyn, Mich., track, leading 50 of them.
Gotta Have a Rheem ...Rheem Manufacturing Company (www.rheem.com) is privately held with headquarters in Atlanta and U.S. operations in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Indiana, North Carolina and Texas. In its 88th year of operation, the company manufactures a full-line of eco-friendly, technologically advanced residential and commercial heating and cooling systems; tank, tankless, solar and hybrid heat pump water heaters; whole-home standby generators, controls, swimming pool and spa heaters; indoor air-purification products; and commercial boilers throughout North America and world markets. The company's premium brands, including Rheem, Raypak, Ruud and Richmond have been recognized with countless industry and consumer awards for reliability, innovative design and high quality. Rheem is the official heating, cooling and water heating supplier to Richard Childress Racing, and is a primary sponsor of RCR's No. 29 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and RCR's No. 33 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Double Duty ...In addition to driving the No. 33 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet Camaro in Saturday afternoon's race, Menard will pilot the No. 27 CertainTeed/Menards Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event on Sunday afternoon. This race is scheduled to air live on TNT at Noon Eastern Time, along with the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
Race Rewind ... Starting seventh, Menard led the most laps (37) en route to an eighth-place finish at the two-mile track in last year's Nationwide Series event.
What are your thoughts on racing at Michigan International Speedway? "I'm excited to be running my first of three races in the Nationwide Series this weekend at Michigan International Speedway. We are taking the same car we led a lot of laps and had a great run with last year in Michigan, so I'm hopeful it will perform the same this year. It's always a lot of fun to run in the Nationwide Series, and I'm looking forward to getting back in the No. 33 this weekend. Ernie Cope (crew chief) and the guys do a really good job every week, and I'm just happy to be back behind the wheel of the Rheem/Menards Chevrolet."

Man sentenced for 'vicious attack'By Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 31,2013BENNINGTON — A Gage Street man was sentenced to a two to four years in prison on Monday after pleading guilty to what a prosecutor called a "vicious attack" on a woman in Pownal in July.
Kyle J. Ware, 20, of Bennington, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court on Monday to a felony charge of second-degree unlawful restraint, but his sentence on that charge was deferred for five years, which means that if he has no further legal trouble in that time period, the charge will not remain on his record.
Ware also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of domestic assault, interference with access to emergency services, being a minor in possession of alcohol and two misdemeanor counts of unlawful mischief. The overall sentence for Ware, who has been in jail since July, is two to four years but he was pre-approved for furlough.
A felony charge of kidnapping was dismissed by the state on Monday.
The charges were filed based on the complaint of a woman who said she had been at a party with Ware in Pownal.
She said the two had begun arguing and he kept her from leaving the home and assaulted her.
When she was able to get out of the home, Ware followed her outside and punched her car's windshield, causing it to break.
During the sentencing hearing on Monday, Ware declined to say anything to the judge before being sentenced by Judge Cortland Corsones.
Acknowledging Ware's attorney's description of his client as a dean's list college student and model prisoner, Corsones still cautioned Ware to take the conditions of his probation seriously.
"If you're the kind of person that everybody says you are, everybody believes you are, that's not going to happen.
You're going to do well and hopefully get back in college and be able maybe at some point to put this behind you and once again be a productive citizen," he said.
Jennifer Barrett, a deputy state's attorney for Bennington County, said the woman was not in court on Monday but Barrett said she was "in support of this (plea) agreement for the most part."

What is ear wax?
Published On: Jan 03 2013 08:02:50 PM PST
By Pure Matters
Earwax, also called cerumen, is naturally produced by the outer part of the ear canal to keep the ear clean.
It performs this task by trapping dust and sand particles before they reach the eardrum.
Wax also coats the fragile skin of the ear canal and acts as a water repellent.
Accumulated wax usually migrates to the ear opening, dries up, and falls out.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

The Tooth Fairy better hit up the nearest ATM the next time duty calls.
The average tooth is fetching $4 these days, according to a new survey by payment processor Visa Inc., released Friday.
That's a 42 percent jump from the $2.60 average reported in 2011, and one heck of a lot more than most people remember finding under their pillows growing up.
How much kids get depends on where they live, according to the survey.
Kids in the Northeast rake in the most cash at $4.10 per tooth. In the West and South, kids receive $3.70 and $3.60 per tooth, while Midwestern kids receive the least, at $3.30 a tooth, The Associated Press reported.
Why is the cost going up so much? Competition -- not only among kids but parents, too, experts say.
"A kid who got a quarter would wonder why their tooth was worth less than the kid who got $5," Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist and professor at Golden Gate University, told the AP.

A California man is accused of twice punching a flight attendant who refused to serve him on a Los Angeles-bound flight from the Philippines.
Edgar Nonga, 53, was charged with interfering with a flight crew in the crazed attack over the weekend.
He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
According to prosecutors, Nonga got drunk during the flight and had to be subdued by five men.
Police officers hauled him off the plane in zip ties after the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport early Sunday, Los Angeles TV station KTLA reported.
Footage of what appears to be the aftermath of the incident has been posted to YouTube:

A new dubstep artist is stealing the spotlight from the likes of Skrillex.
But unlike other dubstep musicians, this budding celebrity charmed even the moms who frown upon techno beats.
Well, who wouldn't be amazed when the source of the music wasn't a regular sequencer, but a tiny tweeting cockatiel?
In the video, Harvey's head bopped as he churned out electronic sounds.
Harvey made his debut on YouTube two days, and since then, his dubsteb performance has been watched more than 2.9 million times.
Harvey's owner denied that he trained his pet to mimic electronic sounds, but his pet learned them on its own.
"Just for all concerned, we have never played dubstep to him. I just beat boxed around the house and he picked it up," YouTube uploader 'Rainykauke' wrote.

In a push for linguistic unity, China points out that 400 million of its people can't speak the national language.
Mandarin is the official national language of China and large numbers either speak it badly or can't speak it at all, state media said.
According to Reuters, Ministry of Education spokeswoman Xu Mei said that only 70 percent of the country could speak Mandarin and the remaining 30 percent or 400 million people could not speak it. China's ruling Communist Party has promoted Mandarin for decades to unite a nation with thousands of often mutually unintelligible dialects and numerous minority languages, but has been hampered by the country's size and lack of investment in education, especially in poor rural areas. The promotion of Mandarin has long been a contentious issue in China, despite the practical benefits of having the entire population fluent in one tongue, and in some cases has lead to violent unrest.

This fragrant paste of basil, garlic, and pine nuts is classic and divine. For a summer appetizer, stuff it into hollowed-out cherry tomatoes. For a quick dip, stir about ¼ cup pesto into ½ cup plain yogurt, mayonnaise, or sour cream; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and season to taste.
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
¼ cup (1 ounce) pine nuts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Process all the ingredients in a food processor (or blender) until the mixture is a coarse purée. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Advance preparation
The pesto will keep for up to 1 week in a covered container in the refrigerator; pour a thin film of olive oil on top of the pesto to prevent discoloration. For longer storage, spoon the mixture into a foil-lined custard cup; cover tightly with foil and freeze. Once frozen, remove the foil-wrapped packet and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
To use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or remove from the foil and thaw quickly in the microwave.

No Spring Training Fast Pass but Position Players Report and Bam Bam Is Back
After a long winter without baseball, the start of Spring Training is so exciting that for a couple of days it almost feels like baseball season is just about to begin…and then we remember that Spring Training is a lot like going to Disneyland as a kid – you're excited for weeks before the trip. You can barely sleep the night beforehand imagining all of the rides you're going to go on and the fun you will have. You are bouncy and giddy the whole drive to the park and, then, you're finally there! You run into the park barely able to contain your glee and race to your first ride…where you have to wait in line for two more hours before you can board the roller coaster. Yeah, it's kind of like that.
But once you get on that first ride, oh boy! And getting to the park is the first exciting step, of course. So it goes with Spring Training. I am thrilled it's here! But I'm at that point where the fact that Opening Day is still six weeks away has sunk back in. I'm still, that excited little kid. But I've settled back down into waiting mode. Oh well, at least while we're waiting, there are actual player interviews on MLB again, interviews taped earlier in the day, not back in September. And there is news! Lots of news, as far as the eye can read. It's a bit of a wait still, but it's now a more pleasant one.
Today's news as the position players enjoyed their first workout was 90% fantastic! Kendry took an official batting practice on the main field and reminded everyone why we call him Bam Bam, knocking pitches into the scoreboards and stands from both sides of the plate. Whooo hooo, this is the kind of news I wanted to hear! Bobby Abreu reported to the field as his usual cheerful self and sounds like he is ready to assume the DH role, which had been a point of concern. Maicer Izturis is healthy and excited to make a play for full time third base and leadoff slots. If he can stay healthy all season it would be a first, so we'll see how that goes, but healthy and eager is a good sign. When Maicer is in the lineup, good things happen.
The only bad news this weekend is that Brandon Wood is injured and resting from a back strain. He is the last player who can afford to be starting off Spring Training slow. Honestly though, after last season, I don't have it in me to worry about this one. I like the kid. He has a good attitude and is willing to work hard and I would love it if he somehow turned things around this season and became strong hitter and a reliable third base, but I don't know if this is possible. If somehow he proves himself in ST and gets another shot at third this season, I want a hard cutoff date in place. If Wood doesn't perform by that date then the experiment has to be over. Folks can take a little fabric paint and turn all of those "Free Brandon Wood" t-shirts into "Free to a good home: Brandon Wood" t-shirts.

Kendry's nickname is Bam Bam? LOL. Isn't that a Smurf character or something? Hey, if he's banging the ball off walls (and over the walls), that's great news. So exciting that the "real" spring training is finally underway.
Jane – Bam Bam was Barney Rubble's son in the Flintstones. The nickname actually comes from us fans misunderstanding of the "Van Van" in Kendry's walk-up music. But mispronouncing it Bam Bam wound up being appropriate given the Flintstones character's penchant for thwacking things great distances with a really big club, so it stuck. Yes, it is great news that he's hitting well and that everyone is at Spring Training now!
This is a very simple game…
I like Bam Bam. Cool name. Hope Bam Bam doesn't re-break his leg being silly this year. As for Brandon Wood… enough is enough already. Right? Let. Him. Go.
Too bad there is no Express Pass at Spring Training. Like you, I get a little worked up as players start to file in, but then I ignore them for a few more weeks until the snow in front of my house melts away.
Kristen – congrats on making the front page of MLBlogs.com. You're on Mark's radar on! Shine!
And Morales as "Bam Bam?" Love it!
Oh, yes, if we all had a Fast Pass to Spring Training, I'd be in Tampa crashing at a friend's and hitting everything from Bradenton to Port Charlotte to Lakeland! Sadly, Fort Myers is a bit far away from Tampa…
– Randy
Are you still going to talk to us lowly nobodys?? Haha. Congrats!
I am right there with you on the rollercoaster analogy.
The excitement is so extreme that first couple of days, then it subsides a touch until you feel that surge of energy again as games are just over the horizon.
Congrats on the front page spot on MLBlogs.com today. MLB is feeing a bit "angelic" this week, which is fine since my team used to have a demonic first name (lol).
Hearing a strain, pull or even a twinge right now can set a player back for up to 4 weeks. This is the time of the year for precautionary methods. Better to be sitting today resting than in the middle of a heated series in May or beyond.
Again congrats on the front page recognition….
Rays Renegade
Woohoo! Kristen! This well deserved that you made the front page of the MLB Blog page! I knew it was a matter of time! Congratulations! And I love the nickname Bam Bam!Now go celebrate with a glass of California wine!
The hot tub is back in action! Check out my post! Should be a good season.
They started running ads for tickets here in Toronto. That got me excited. Sadly, I agree with you on Wood. Its too bad as I thought he had so much potential, I know the Jays had been in many prior trade talks for him. Anyhow, I wouldn't worry, you'll probably be feeling a whole lot better when Mike Trout makes his way up.
Jeff – I have a feeling that Bam Bam will be baseball's biggest proponent of the celebratory golf clap this season…though, really, he wasn't doing anything that over the top when he got hurt. It was just one of those bizarre things. I reserve full judgment on Wood until after ST. He isn't a liability in ST. Once we hit April though, that better be a very short cutoff date.
Mike – It would be harder to get into the Spring Training spirit with snow on your house, I'm sure. At least they start airing ST games next week!
Randy – Thank you so much! I didn't even know until I read your comment – kind of like a friend elbowing you to say hey, you're up on the jumbotron, he he. Yeah, I'm in the same boat with the Cactus League – can't afford a hotel and the Arizona friend who would lend me his sofa is on the other end of the state.
Michael – LOL! But of course, MLBlogs wouldn't be much fun without all the conversation. Thanks!
Rays Renegade – Thanks! Yeah, MLB was feeling awfully Angelic this week and I am grateful. I agree, precautionary measures are a really good idea during Spring Training, all the better to start of the season well. But, while I wouldn't want Wood to work through an injury before the season's even started, I worry about him in particular starting behind.
Emma – Thank you so much Emma! Good idea – I'm enjoying a glass of wine as I type.🙂
HTBM – Subtle😉. Seriously though, welcome back. I'll be sure to check out your blog again.
Welikeroy – Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting! Ticket ads are definitely cause for excitement. Angels tickets go on sale Saturday and I can't wait! Yeah, I am pretty excited about Trout and hope to catch him in one of the exhibition games in late March.
This is a very simple game…
Hello there fellow Angel fan!
It's always nice seeing another Angel fan here on MLBlogs!🙂 Hope you're ready for the long and exciting season ahead! I'm excited! I'm still worried about the bullpen but hoping that takes care of itself as the season goes on.
Bam Bam! He better take care of himself! No more broken legs over home plate celebrations. I've never been through so many emotions at once! It was all just a shock wave to me.
Here's to our team!😉
Hey Mimi, thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting. I am thrilled to meet another Angels fan and am so excited for the season to start! I am less worried about the bullpen in general – I like this offseason's acquisitions – than I am about the closer role specifically. But we'll see how it all plays out. Yes, I hope Kendry becomes a fan of the golf clap celebration this season and stays healthy.
This is a very simple game…

'American Mirror' an artful portrait of Norman Rockwell
Some critics and snobs have undervalued American artist Norman Rockwell, but Deborah Solomon doesn't make that mistake. Her new biography "American Mirror: The Life and Art of Norman Rockwell" makes the case that Rockwell's work, in all its fussy homeyness, is worth looking at and thinking about, and will continue to be so for a long time.
Many readers might recognize Solomon as the former purveyor of the often-snarky Q&A interview in The New York Times Sunday Magazine. But she's also an art critic and the biographer of artists Jackson Pollock and Joseph Cornell. Her Rockwell biography is well-researched; her prose intelligent, accessible and touched occasionally with humor; her readings of Rockwell's paintings sharp and sensible. »Read Full Article

First Aid Kit
Protect yourself and your family from injury by understanding how to prevent accidents in your home and be prepared by creating a home first aid kit. Creating a home first aid kit is very important and easy. You can either make the items in the kit, or find them at any pharmacy and most supermarkets. (The text in this photo gallery originally appeared on HealthiNation.com and was last reviewed on 1/6/11. For the full article, visit http://www.healthination.com/topic-center/index.php?t=first_aid_home.) (Photo credit: Thinkstock)
Emergency Numbers List
These should include your doctor, local ambulance, fire department and poison control center. Itâs also a good idea to have numbers for your pharmacy, and a person who will act as your emergency contact. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen & Aspirin Tablets
These are used for fevers, aches and pains. In some cases, aspirin should be taken during a heart attack. Talk to your doctor about whether this is something you need to think about. One important point-aspirin should not be given to children with flu symptoms, as they can develop Reyeâs Syndrome, a potentially fatal disease. (photo credit: Thinkstock)(photo credit: Thinkstock)
Cough Suppressant
Keep cough suppressants around for unexpected coughs, and colds. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Antihistamines & Decongestants
These agents are useful for treating symptoms of allergies, especially stuffy noses. (photo credit: Thinkstock)(photo credit: Thinkstock)
Keep this to check for fever. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Oral Medicine Syringes
These are used to give children oral medications, like cough syrup or antibiotics. You can also use these to flush and clean cuts and wounds. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Emergency Eye Wash Solution
Use this solution to wash out debris, or chemicals from the eyes. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Have on hand bandages of different sizes and shapes for cuts and scrapes. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Elastic Wraps
Youâll need these for sprains from a twisted ankle or wrist. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Gauze & Adhesive Tapes
Use these to dress larger cuts when other bandages wonât do. Gauze also acts as a good compress to help stop a bleeding cut. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Sharp Scissors With Rounded Tips
These will help you remove bandages, or clothing from the skin without cutting or damaging the skin even further. Hydrogen Peroxide and Antiseptic Wipes. These are both good for cleaning scrapes and cuts. Antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Instant-Activating Cold Packs
For sprains, bumps and bruises. (photo credit: Thinkstock)
Use these to pull splinters or clean cuts and scrapes. Be sure to keep your emergency first aid kit away from children since it contains sharp objects and medications. (photo credit: Thinkstock)

Karen Russell chronicles pain of growing up in "Vampires in the Lemon Grove"
In "Reeling for the Empire," one of the eight stories appearing in Karen Russell's "Vampires in the Lemon Grove," a young woman pines for adventure in a rapidly changing 19th-century Japan. Falling for the dubious charms of a "recruitment agent," what she gets instead is a life-draining job in a silk factory.
This being Russell - author of the wildly imaginative "Swamplandia!" as well as an equally inventive prior story collection - a potentially naturalistic tale lands instead in the twilight zone. »Read Full Article
Timeless storytelling fills 'A Country Doctor's Notebook'
While Mikhail Bulgakov wrote the stories in "A Country Doctor's Notebook" circa 1925-'27, about a young doctor's practice and plight in rural Russia, they don't read outdated, musty or strange today. Instead, they evoke archetypal situations we experience in contemporary medical storytelling.
At times, Bulgakov's young doctor in an isolated hamlet resembles the Russian equivalent of Hawkeye Pierce from "M*A*S*H," improvising under desperate conditions without backup. "Morphine," the tale of a doctor's prescription drug abuse, echoes the plight of the title character of "House," only with a grimmer fate. »Read Full Article

Picking country at the Grammys
Each year, as Piet Levy outlined in this morning's full feature and picks, the Grammy Awards are a celebration of the wide swath of music enjoyed across the United States and around the world. But, from the very first on-air promos for this Sunday's broadcast on CBS, it has seemed like the Recording Academy is placing a bit more emphasis on country music than in years past. The live lineup is touting performances from Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and, of course, Taylor Swift. Zac Brown will even join Elton John, Mumford & Sons, Mavis Staples and Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard in a tribute to the late Levon Helm.
Since the award show has (thankfully) turned heavily toward performance in recent years, it is likely that only one of the country awards will be given out on the live show. But any Grammy - even one won in a pre-show ceremony - is a real resume booster for any musician. So, here are my picks for the Grammys' four country categories. »Read Full Blog Post

The county described one of the people as an "employee," but did not specify where. The Shady Rest Personal Care Home is located nearby.
Paramedics said the elderly man was lucky to be alive because there is rebar sticking out along the hillside.
A nurse said the man disappeared about 1:30 p.m., but paramedics said they didn't get a call until 4:30 p.m.

A policy separating students at lunch based on their grades has sparked controversy at a high school in Tennessee.
During the lunch period, students who are making poor grades at La Vergne High School are separated from their classmates and forced to eat in a separate location.
"Number one, it's cutting their lunch down," parent Paul Morecroft said.
Morecroft's daughter, who has special needs, is in the 10th grade at La Vergne High.
He says he's concerned about students being separated during lunch based on academic standing.
"To me, it's considered separation, because you have your special needs kids and the kids getting the good grades on one side, and the kids getting below an 80 on the other side," said Morecroft, calling the policy a "civil rights violation and segregation, no doubt."
School leaders say La Vergne High has a split lunch period, half academic intervention to help students who may be struggling in a subject and half lunch.
"They are not segregating them in the traditional sense. If the kids' scores are low in certain areas, they are getting help in that area. If you want to label that segregation, then that's not the correct way to label it," said Rutherford County Schools spokesman James Evans.
Evans said this has been a practice at La Vergne High for two years as part of a statewide pilot program.
Some schools chose to work the intervention program into the regular school day, but La Vergne High has chosen the split-lunch concept with some students going to the auditorium for a learning lab first.
Ximena Jinenez, an 11th grade student, says she is all for extra intervention help.
"I don't think it's bad, it's good. We all need it. We need that little help in our lives," she said.
School officials say this concept during lunch has been a proven success. Two years ago, the graduation rate at La Vergne High School was about 77 percent, and it's now almost 90 percent.

Capitol Beat: The second election seasonNovember 26,2012Waterbury Rep. Rebecca Ellis, and Barre Rep. Therese Tess Taylor are seeking a Democratic caucus vacancy in the Statehouse as the assistant majority leader, a position that helps facilitate communication between legislators and party leadership.
I think in that process its really important for the individual legislators to know that theyre being heard and have an opportunity to speak and have an opportunity to discuss ideas and priorities, Ellis said.
Ellis was appointed as a state representative by Gov. Peter Shumlin in 2011, and was recently elected to a full term.
She has also served on the Waterbury Select Board for seven years, including four years as chairwoman. She also served on the Waterbury Planning Commission from 2001 to 2006.
Ellis said in addition to helping build consensus through the funding and construction of two firehouses in Waterbury, she was moved by the ability of a group of people to work together in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene and that her experience was something she could bring to the job of assistant majority leader.
During the immediate aftermath of the storm, a key group of about 20 leaders often met daily for about a month, and Ellis also helped facilitate 22 long-term recovery projects.
Taylor was first elected as a state representative in 2008. She served two three-year terms as a school board member with Spaulding High School and the Barre Technical Center, which included time as chairwoman. Shes also been on the board of the Barre Supervisory Union, which shes also chaired.
One of her major accomplishments in working with others includes helping resolve an 11-day teachers strike in 2005.
She also has board experience with the Central Vermont Workforce Development Board and the Barre Partnership, a nonprofit focused on revitalizing the citys downtown that she has headed as president.
Taylor said shes been able to reach out to others because of her experience with the Vermont Historical Society, where she previously served as the director of education and public programming.
As reported in Seven Days, the opening comes as the current Democratic whip, Addison County Rep. Willem Jewett, is seeking the position of majority leader. Caledonia County Rep. Lucy Leriche held that position, but she didnt run for re-election.
The caucus will vote Dec. 8.
State bank idea stays alive
Anthony Pollina, a Washington County Progressive, Democrat and Working Families senator, wants the state to look again at the possibility of a state bank.
Currently, the vast majority of incoming tax revenues or federal money the state receives goes to TD Bank, which earns a profit and charges fees, Pollina says. Through a state bank, which would use existing local banks or a state agency like the Vermont Economic Development Authority, the state could earn interest and use the money to re-invest in businesses or student loans, advocates say.
In 2010, a preliminary analysis by the Vermont Legislative Joint Fiscal Office wrote the system has a number of potential long-term benefits, but it would likely have a complicated and controversial transition.
Committee hearings have gathered testimony about the possibility, but banking representatives have opposed the measure.
A bill to study the issue was introduced last year by Pollina and Chittenden County Sen. Ginny Lyons, a Democrat, but the proposal ultimately was tabled.
Pollina said during an interview last week a state bank would work in partnership, rather than competition, with banks. He also said he believes that public support is more receptive now than it was two years ago.
He also said the University of Vermonts Gund Institute for Ecological Economics has supported the idea.
A fellow with the institute, Gary Flomenhoft, took part in legislative testimony on the issue.
He has suggested the North Dakota state bank was a key factor in that state having a budget surplus following the 2008 stock market crash while other states came out of it with deficits. Hes pointed to how in 2009 the North Dakota state bank returned $30 million to the state based on investments.
A conference from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier is set to include a discussion on the issue of state banks. The conference, called Vermonts New Economy, costs $25. Attendees can register at www.global-community.org/cgi/gc/neweconomy/.
Pollina is also working to draft a bill for another study group to try to undo declining state funding for state colleges for the cost of college education.
The state currently funds about 12 percent of the cost, Pollina said. In 1980, state funding paid for about half, and tuition covered the rest, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Portable Espresso Machines
The old expression, "You can't take it with you," does not apply to the perfect cup of coffee! Whether you're a road warrior that lives out of hotel rooms, an RV enthusiast headed down the highway or a yurt dweller in the wilderness, a portable espresso machine is a great option. Portable espresso machines use clever engineering to make pressure available without electricity, giving you a non-traditional espresso-style extraction. So cut down on your cafe costs and keep the quality of your espresso shots - no matter where in the world you find yourself…

AeroPress Coffee MakerThe AeroPress is an entirely new way to make coffee. A wide range of tasters from coffee professional and author Kenneth Davids to serious and not-so-serious coffee aficionados all praise the smooth, rich flavor. Other coffee makers drip hot water on a bed of grounds which over-extracts at the center and under-extracts at the edge. The AeroPress is micro-filtered for grit free coffee unlike French press style coffee makers. Learn More$29.95

The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
As a longstanding MBT customer, I was thrilled to find this style which is great for casual wear with the same wonderful features of all of the other MBT styles I have worn in the past
This is the best MBT shoe I ever had. My left big toe and back pain all gone after I wore this shoe. It is perfect for me
These are my 3rd pair of the MBTs and i love them, i'm addicted! They are perfect for my knees:) - arthritis:( - and worth the money i spent here on the footwearetc.com. My knees feel much-much better when i wear the MBTs as opposed to other shoes i have! These Pata became the 3rd or 4th pair i tried on - special thanks for the free shipping and free return! - and they are made exactly for my feet. I truly feel as if i were barefoot in them. Just got back from Seattle, WA where i had been walking around town all day in them, and felt tireless. I'm ready to buy another pair now.
I have been wearing MBT for a few years now , reccomended by my Doctor, these are excellent shoes to wear specially on cement floors
Excellent fit, so comfortable!!!
I have been using MBT for years and love them.....got the Pata and I'm very pleased with them. Streamlined and good looking.
It is the 4th pair of MBT I purchased from Footwearetc.com. This pair is much lighter and true to size unlike the other three pairs I purchased two to three years ago. It is not tight fit, so there is room for my toes to wiggle and for ticker socks. The leather is thick, soft, and beautiful. My feet, legs, and back feel better when I am wearing MBT's. I am very picky when it comes to shoes and clothing, and I seek comfort. I love all my MBT's. They are very well made, and they last. I just donated the oldest pair that I wore very heavily. The leather still was in perfect shape. It would have been even better if an extra pair of shoelace came with this model like the other MBT's I have.
