20 Stadiums in 20 Days – Coors Field
If you read my last post, you'll recall that I was in Los Angeles. Two days later, the second leg of my business trip took my husband and I to Denver, home of the Colorado Rockies. Whereas our experience at Dodger Stadium had been sunny and warm, our visit to Coors Field turned out to be anything but that. However, it was a great night.
We were apparently following the Dodgers, as we would see them take on the Rockies on September 17, 1996.
This picture is the only one from our visit to Coors. It was not taken the night of the game we went to – note that the sky is beautiful and sunny. Less than 24 hours prior, it was dark, rainy, and cold. So rainy that I didn't even try to take my camera to the game, which is really unlike me.
So why did we go to a rainy night game? Because this was only the second season for Coors Field, and it was still pretty hard to get tickets. I'd ordered the tickets in advance once I knew we'd be in Denver, and was only able to get Rockpile seats for the game. Still, we had the tickets and wanted to use them, considering our flight home left the next afternoon.
It hadn't actually been raining all day, though it was looking threatening. And having just come from L.A., we didn't have anything warm to wear. So a few hours before game time, we ended up in a Gap in downtown Denver, buying jackets with fleece linings in them.
As we left our hotel for the walk to the stadium, it was raining lightly. Once we got to the stadium it continued to rain. Game time comes, and guess what? Rain delay!
Ultimately a two-hour rain delay. Lord only knows why we waited it out, and didn't just go back to the hotel. But we walked around and around the concourse, and eventually it was announced that the game would start. We made our way to our seats.
Not only were they in the Rockpile, the farthest section from the field, they were only a few rows from the very top of the Rockpile. But because of the delay, there were a lot of empty seats, so after an inning or two we moved down to the front of the section.
It never did really stop raining; it just sort of drizzled and misted most of the night. And even though we had our brand new fleece-lined jackets, I still froze my *ss off!
Eventually we made our way over to the first row or two of the left-center field seats. While we were there, we saw a home run hit by the Dodgers' Tim Wallach bounce off some guy's chest, only to be claimed by another guy sitting a few rows in front of him. The first guy tried to argue that the ball should be his because it hit him first, but to no avail.
The Rockies didn't do much that night, losing to the Dodgers 9-0.
So what, you ask, was so great? Hideo Nomo had just pitched a no-hitter at the most hitter-friendly park in the major leagues. And we had witnessed it!
The next day was, of course, beautiful, but we had a late afternoon flight to catch. We walked around the stadium area, so I could take the above picture. A man walking down the street asked us if we wanted two tickets to that afternoon's game, as he couldn't use them. We said "no thanks". After walking another block we could have kicked ourselves, having just realized that we could have gone in at least for a few innings, even if we didn't stay for the whole game. As they say, hindsight is 20/20.
Postscript: we still have the jackets we bought in Denver, and I often wear mine during the winter. And believe it or not, the price of Rockpile tickets is still the same as we paid almost 13 years ago – only $4!
Trivia Tid-Bit! Can anyone tell me what was unusual about this game? (yes, I know, but I want to see if you do)

Isn't it funny how we always end up having to buy things when we go to games? We went to a Red Sox game at the end of May in Fenway. We had coats & hats & mittens but it was SO cold we had to go and buy Red Sox fleece blankets to wrap ourselves up in them!
I can't believe you got to watch a no-hitter! I wouldn't have liked the cold and rain at all, but seeing a no-no is quite a dividend. Looking forward to your next road trip!
There was something more unusual than a no-hitter? Wow…can't wait to hear what that was!
Nomo's no-no… not only a great feat, but also an excellent tongue twister!
Interesting, only people whose names start with "J" have commented on this post!
Julia – yes, it certainly drives the cost of the game up when you have to buy more clothing just to stay warm!
Jane – normally I don't tolerate cold well, so I guess it was divine intervention that caused us to stay for the big payoff!
Jenn – yes, there was something unusual. You'll find out in the next stadium installment.🙂
Jeff – say it really fast three times, especially after having a drink (or two)!
Could it be that game was Hideo Nomo's Red Sox debut? Neat blog on Coors. I love that the Rockpile tickets are the same price. Great game to have witnessed…D
Only no-hitter at coors field. But also any no-hitter is special, especially a rainy one! That sounded like a fun game.
D – this was Nomo's no-hitter as a Dodger, though he did go on to throw one for the Sox as well. I'd love to get back to Coors sometime when it's sunny and warm!
Diamond – as it was getting late in the game and the crowd realized what was happening, it was pretty cool! (and I'm not talking about the temperature!)
Hi, Sue …
Great idea, "20 Stadiums in 20 Days" !!!
It made me think of how many Stadiums I have visited over the years, and the total is: "Nine" Major League Stadiums, and "Two" Minor League Ballpaks !!!
Of the ones you have featured already, I have visited Camden Yards [two times]; and, Fenway Park [two times] … I have never been to Coors Field or Dodgers Stadium !!!
Also, on my list: Yankee Stadium [many, many, times]; Shea Stadium; the K.C. Royals ballpark; and, the old Stadiums in Detroit; Cleveland; Philadelphia; Cincinnati … The two minor league parks were in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA, and Norwich, CT. … So, Sue, I have to increase my traveling to catch-up to your total of 20 Stadium visits !!!
Sue, regarding the unusual event in the above game, I would say, it was not only the "no-hitter" by Hideo Nomo, but, also, the fact that it was a "complete game" no-hitter by Nomo !!!
The "Complete Game" by starting pitchers is becoming as rare as a shutout, or no-hitter !!! … I would like to see teams increase the pitch-count for starters, and not limit their innings … It would be great to actually see [more than] a few "complete games" pitched by starting pitchers this year and in future seasons !!!
Take care, Sue, and keep up the excellent work on your blog !!!
— Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L"
Jimmy – that's not what I was thinking of, thought you're right, complete games are unusual these days! Hope you get to visit some new stadiums – how about new Yankee and new Shea this year? Thanks for the kind words!
I was googling Nomo and found your post! Wow! You got to see his no-hitter. In all the games I have attended, I have yet to see a no hitter. Good for you. My only time in Colorado, it had snowed the night before and they did not give us our luggage until the following day. I was at the game drinking a couple of cups of hot chocolate. It was freezing and I was wishing I had my Dodger poncho with me that I had left in my luggage. Great trip down memory lane . Can you believe

Westby teacher winning over students & parents
Debbie Urbanek ends each school day by giving her students either a high five or a hug.
"There's something to love about every kid. Sometimes you have to look a little harder than others but there's something to love about every kid," said Urbanek, February's Top Notch Teacher.
The third grade teacher is known for energy in the classroom. But now she's being recognized for her work when the day is over.
Urbanek has made sure to contact each students' parents at home.
"Sometimes it's notes home with the kids. Sometimes it's little awards to let the parents know that the kids are doing a good job. I don't want the first time I contact a parent to be for a negative reason," said Urbanek, who has taught in the Westby School District for 24 years.
Teachers at Westby Elementary School were challenged to find more ways to involve parents this year. Urbanek has gone above and beyond, even calling families when she gets home for the day.
"She works really hard on her craft and we always count on her for those extra things that teaching requires," said Bruce Peterson, the principal at Westby Elementary School.
Peterson says parents have been pleased to know more about what's going on with their children day to day. Urbanek says it's all just part of the job.
"I like the satisfaction of seeing the light bulb go off, the satisfaction from watching them learn and seeing them grow."

Hope persists for Golden Guernsey plant's future
A week after the sudden closing of the Golden Guernsey dairy company, resulting in the loss of more than 100 jobs and sending schools scrambling to find another source of milk, Teamsters union official Gene Gowey says he clings to hope the plant will reopen.
Some people had worked at the Waukesha plant for more than 25 years, but they're too young to retire and they've spent their entire career in a niche business that doesn't offer many local job opportunities, said Gowey, recording secretary for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 695 in Madison. »Read Full Article(151)
Milwaukee's Integrated Mail Industries expansion stalled
When land sale negotiations between two neighboring businesses on Milwaukee's north side failed, city officials supported efforts to force a sale - an action justified because one of the companies was threatening to move if it couldn't expand onto the disputed property.
Nearly three years after the land was sold, expansion plans for Integrated Mail Industries Ltd. remain stalled because of a slow economy. And while the company's president says Integrated Mail still plans to use the property, the project has no specific timetable. »Read Full Article(1)

by Johnny Grantham, District Promotional Rep, Cullman County SWCD, Cullman, AL
Wallace State Community College in Hanceville unveiled its new nutrient recycling project located at the school's Agricultural Production/Horticulture facility.
Major sponsors of the project are the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES), Alabama Mountains, Rivers and Valleys (AMRV) RC&D, Cullman County SWCD/NRCS, Cullman County Commission-East Side Road Department, City of Cullman, and American Proteins.
AMRV RC&D, SWCD, and ACES provided grant money and project oversight. NRCS provided engineering and design. American Proteins provided pond liner and instillation. East Side Road Department provided excavation and dirt work.
The project is designed to collect excess run-off water and nutrients from the elevated plant beds used to grow seedlings. Approximately 8,000 gallons of water per day is used during growing season. Collecting the run-off water and nutrients saves the cost of additional fertilizer and about 3,000 gallons of water per day during growing season. The project will also provide a backup source of water for the plants in case of a disruption in the normal water supply. The project also captures the nutrient enriched runoff before it enters local streams.
The project is designed to teach water and nutrient testing.

Mike immersed himself in The Kindling in his first year and has missed only two meetings in three years.
"Even as an entry-level staff member, you're part of the whole process," Mike says. "You write your articles, workshop it, take accompanying photographs, lay them out on the computer and then, finally, get to distribute the print versions."
Now a co-editor-in-chief, he oversees the operation, working diligently to keep variety in the humor. "We've got a little bit of everything and I love that," Mike says.
Mike also knows what he's doing applies to his future. "Sharing ideas and working together to get a collaborative work out by a deadline parallels almost every office job," Mike says. "It's impressive to be able to hand a publication to an employer and say, 'We did this.'"

Qawz Quzah
"(A Molotov cocktail) is an improvised weapon that is often used in riots and acts of sabotage because it is easy to make and use,'' according to an article in Tunisian children's magazine Qawz Quzah.
A how-to guide on putting together a Molotov cocktail is not something you would expect a children's magazine to feature, but that is exactly what recently ran in "Qawz Quzah," a popular Tunisian magazine whose name means "rainbow" in Arabic and is aimed at children aged five to 15.
"(A Molotov cocktail) is an improvised weapon that is often used in riots and acts of sabotage because it is easy to make and use,'' reads the article, which came complete with detailed instructions on how to make a Molotov cocktail and appeared in the latest edition of Qawz Quzah.
The article, which appeared in a section of the publication called "Knowledge Corner," touched a raw nerve in a country still struggling to tame the unrest stirred up by last year's successful revolution, the first of the Arab Spring. The government on Monday announced that it would prosecute the popular magazine for running it.
Slideshow: State of emergency in Tunisia
Tunisia's revolution led to the democratic election of a transitional government headed by the moderate Islamist Ennahda party, but violence persists among extreme religious groups. Molotov cocktails have been the weapon of choice in these confrontations.
A 'professional mistake'
Speaking from Tunis, Rabii Kalboussi, a journalist working for the English-language website Tunisia Live, told NBC News that the story has provoked a stronger reaction abroad than it has inside the country itself.
Crackdown on free speech in birthplace of Arab Spring
"No one knows why such an article was published. It is a kids' magazine, so I don't think there are political intentions behind it," he said.
"I don't believe the government is really aware of the impact these things have on children, especially if they are regular readers of the magazine," Kalbous added.
On Tuesday, the magazine's editor-in-chief Monji Chebbi was forced to apologize on Tunisian television for what he described as a "professional mistake."
The Ministry for Women and Family Affairs said the article "encourages violent and terrorist thought'' and it also endangers children's lives by "encouraging the use of Molotov cocktails in acts of vandalism or terrorism."
Mohamed Bouazizi, the fruit vendor whose death changed the Arab world
The Molotov cocktail was named after Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet foreign minister during the 1950s. It is a general term used to describe improvised incendiary devices.
NBC's Charlene Gubash and Reuters contributed to this report.

You plant a nice garden, you see sprouts and buds and birds and butterflies. Then suddenly, the wrong crowd shows up. Slugs, ants, mites, and other nasty critters treat your plants as if they were a tray of hors d'oeuvres. Here are a few of the more common uninvited guests you'll find in your garden and what to know about them.
Slugs are never going to win any beauty contests. There are over 30 species of these slimy creatures. They seek out damp, cool places to hide. Lift a rock or a piece of wood in your yard, and you might see a few. Slugs are active for two hours after sunset and two hours before sunrise. They munch on seedlings and ornamental plants, but they particularly love hostas. If you see large round holes in your plants' leaves, you're looking at the remains of a slug feast.
Spider mites are like little garden vampires. They bite and suck the fluids out of your plants. They can leave white or yellow spots on foliage, or even kill the entire plant. If you can't see them, look for fine silk webbing on your plants.
These sap-sucking insects can weaken your plants. They can pass diseases from one plant to the next, and generally stunt your plants. Look for them under leaves and flowers. While they have natural predators, you can protect your plants from aphids with several products.
Ants seem to be everywhere in the summer. You'll see mounds in the yard, and little columns of them marching across your patio. Of course, it's no fun seeing them in the kitchen. While they usually don't get beyond the nuisance level, they can contaminate food. If you have carpenter ants, they can eat away at wooden structures in your yard, such as decks and furniture.
If you live in the south, these creatures can make being in the yard miserable for your family and pets. They're very aggressive, and will defend their nests against everything. If the nests are threatened, they might just relocate - to another part of your yard. If you haven't been bitten but suspect that you have fire ants, look for large, hard mounds in your yard.

VISTA Member Uses Spanish Skills to Support Parents Plus
Blog Categories:
This summer I've been working as an AmeriCorps Summer VISTA for a non-profit group called Parents Plus. I have just returned from a year abroad in Spain but I figured with my AmeriCorps position mostly involving office work I would not have much of an opportunity to practice my Spanish this summer. I was mistaken.
I've spent the last four weeks using my second language almost every day, talking to participants of our various programs, entering survey forms into our database and even on one occasion writing a release form to get permission to use some photographs on our website. I think the lesson I've taken away from this experience so far is that bilingualism can be as important as I want it to be. I could have made it through this summer just fine speaking and thinking only in English, but it seems that I can always find some bilingual opportunity, be it giving a phone interview to a Hispanic couple involved in one of our parenting classes or simply spending an hour or two talking and playing with some kids at a summer school picnic organized by Parents Plus.
At its core, I believe that the sometimes-stumbling attempts of a primarily English-speaking American like myself to speak in Spanish to native Spanish speakers serves as an effective reassurance mechanism. English language learners attempt to communicate in their second language a hundred times a day, struggling to get their ideas across to people that all too often aren't willing to take the time to listen. Hopefully they feel more comfortable working with me in a shared pigeon of Spanish and English, a setting where both of us have to give and take, and together we can bridge whatever linguistic divides separate us to concentrate on the more important issues at hand.

The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support pre-clinical development and testing of new therapies for neurological disorders. The program will facilitate solicitation, development, and review of therapy-directed projects to accelerate the translation of basic research discoveries into therapeutic candidates for clinical testing. This program is specifically directed at projects that include therapeutic leads with demonstrated activity against the intended disease target. The program supports pre-clinical optimization and testing of these leads and projects must be sufficiently advanced that an IND or IDE application to the FDA can be submitted by the end of the project period. The program does not support early-stage therapeutic discovery activities such as high throughput screening. The program also excludes clinical research, basic research, and studies of disease mechanism. This is a milestone-driven cooperative agreement program involving participation of NINDS staff in the development of the project plan and monitoring of research progress.

Evil struck in Connecticut on Friday. A man shot and killed his mother and then went to the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, where she was a teacher. He gained access to the school, killed those in her classroom, and then went on to kill the principal and others in the school. Such is not an act of passion or emotion but simply an act of pure Evil. In this shooting, the Evil appeared to be directed at the mother of the shooter and those whom she held dear.

A NASA Hubble Space Telescope picture of a hypersonic shock wave (lower right) of material moving at 148,000 miles per hour in the Orion Nebula, a star-forming region 1,500 light-years away.
Studies of similar objects infer that such highly supersonic shock waves are formed by a beam of material coming out of newly formed stars.
The plume is only 1,500 years old. The image is 112 light-year across.
This color photograph is a composite of separate images taken at the wavelengths of the two abundant elements in the nebula: Hydrogen and Oxygen. The images were taken with HST's Wide Field and Planetary Camera (in wide field mode), on August 13 and 14, 1991.

Professional symphony at Milford Theatre
September 11, 2013 —
MILFORD, PA — On Saturday, September 21 at 7:30 p.m., the Manhattan Symphonie, led by conductor and violinist Gregory Singer, will become the first professional symphony orchestra to ever play at the historic Milford Theatre. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Grey Towers National Historic Site, where the father of the conservation movement, Gifford Pinchot, and his family introduced modern forestry and other sustainable practices to America, the concert is called Nature in Music.
The program will include "The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi, waltzes by Johann Strauss Jr. such as "Blue Danube" and "Vienna Woods," and excerpts from Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring." Antonin Dvorak's "Silent Woods" will feature a special appearance by cellist Yosif Feigelson, an internationally renowned soloist who lives in Milford. Thanks to the sheer size of the orchestra and the nature of this program, this ensemble will be able to fill the theater with a sound as big as the great outdoors.
Tickets cost $20 at the box office or $15 when purchased in advance on the Kindred Spirits Arts Programs website, kindredspiritsarts.org. The public can also buy tickets at Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad St., Milford. Children under 15 are admitted free.

Absolut Peppar
Absolut Peppar was launched in 1986, seven years after Absolut Vodka. Besides being the first flavored vodka in the family, it was also the first flavored vodka in the world. So why pepper? Since vodka and pepper is the main ingredients in a Bloody Mary, it seemed like a good idea to make things easier for the many Bloody Mary bars popping up in Boston, New York and elsewhere at the time. The idea soon turned out as intended, both for bartenders who could now make Instant Bloody Marys, and for all the fans of the drink.

How to Grow
Direct sow after frost, or start indoors up to 1 month before last frost date. For young, tender basil plants, space 2" apart; for bigger, heartier plants space 8-12" apart. To have fresh basil the whole season, start in succession at one-month intervals. Pinch off tallest growth in order to keep basil from flowering; flavor becomes too strong once in bloom. Good for garden or container plantings.

When Liz Bart explains the frenetic pace at which she and her NAIA Olivet Nazarene University women's basketball teammates play, she doesn't use a comparison to her own sport.
"I tell my friends it's like hockey," said Bart, a Cary-Grove graduate. "It's a great way to play. When I go back and watch high school ball, it's so much slower."
A junior guard for the Tigers, who are ranked No. 17 in NAIA Division II, Bart is part of a team that plays 15 players a game in short shifts while firing away from 3-point range an average of 57 times a game. The team's goal is 90 shots a game, 45 of which should be 3-pointers.
"It's a totally different philosophy than most teams," ONU coach Lauren Stamatis said. "It's very uptempo and a very fast style."
"I love it," Bart said. "Even our center shoots threes."
While zipping up and down the floor, ONU substitutes five players at a time. Bart estimates her average time on the court is about 35 seconds before the next group comes into a game.
"We like to play everybody on our roster," Stamatis said.
Bart said she practices with the same four players on her "unit" all season to build familiarity.
"Getting to play with the same unit every time you go in is a lot of fun," she said. "I don't think I could go back to a regular style of basketball."
Bart, a team captain, is an important contributor for the Tigers (20-6), who average just more than 100 points and force opponents into more than 35 turnovers a game.
This week, Bart ranks No. 5 in NAIA in made 3-pointers (79) and sixth in 3s a game (3.04).
"She has no conscience when it comes to shooting the ball," Stamatis said. "If she's inside the gym, we want her to shoot. I yell at them if they don't shoot the ball."
ONU's fast-paced style also brings about plenty of yelling from fans on the Bourbonnais campus for home games.
"Our fans love it," she said. "Our families love it."
The student section, in particular, gets into the spirit, wearing Tiger shirts and even Tiger slippers, Bart said, along with shouting a unique chant when a new unit hits the floor.
"They yell, 'Line change,' " Bart said. "Just like in hockey."
Parkside's giant slayers: Jacobs grad Conrad Krutwig had a team-high seven rebounds and scored eight points Thursday night to help NCAA Division II Wisconsin-Parkside's men's basketball team to a 75-70 win at No. 23 Kentucky Wesleyan. The win was the fifth in a row for Parkside.
Krutwig, a senior forward who has started every game this season, is averaging 11.4 points and 5.7 rebounds for the Rangers (15-5). Krutwig also has hit a team-high 32 3-pointers this season.
With Thursday's win, Parkside took over sole possession of the Great Lakes Valley Conference's East Division with a 10-2 record. Parkside has defeated five Top 25 teams this season.
Whiting a winner: The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference named Woodstock grad Mollie Whiting the league's Women's Basketball Athlete of the Week on Monday.
Whiting, a senior guard at D-III Dubuque University, scored 23 points and hit a game-winning shot with 2.1 seconds remaining Jan. 31 in a 49-48 victory against Wartburg.
Whiting scored 31 points two days later in the Spartans' 80-63 win against Coe. Whiting's first basket of the game against Coe helped her surpass 1,500 career points. The conference's leading scorer at 21.9 points a game, Whiting has score 20 or more points in 11 consecutive games.

Even in a state known for big things, Houston is an exceptionally big city. Named after the legendary Sam Houston, this is the fourth largest city in the United States and an amazing place to visit on business or for pleasure. If you are looking for Houston hotels, Extended Stay America has several great places to stay, each offering comfortable accommodations and excellent rates.
Second only to New York City for hosting the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies, Houston has a strong, diverse economy. Home to major operations of five of the six supermajor energy producers, Houston is considered by some to be the energy capital of the world. As if this international notoriety weren't enough, Houston is also home to the Texas Medical Center, the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions.
Houston has been tied to the American space program from the early days of manned space flight. Opened in 1963, the Johnson Space Center continues today as the nation's focal point for space exploration. The Center is also a wonderful tourist destination offering museums, movie theaters and even the opportunity to learn what it is like to live in space.
For a somewhat more traditional tourist experience, join the nearly seven million culture-seekers who annually visit Houston's Museum District. Here you will find the Museum of Fine Arts, featuring classic art, a sculpture garden and the Bayou Bend exhibit of uniquely American art. For the lover of non-traditional art, there is the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. This is not only a fun place to visit, but it also provides free admission.
The Museum District is also home to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Located in Herman Park, this museum has plenty to experience, including a planetarium, IMAX Theater and even a butterfly center. While you are in Herman Park, be sure to stop by the Houston Zoo. With over 4,500 permanent wildlife residents, you are sure to see something new and exciting.
Live performances are so much a part of Houston life that the city has its own Theater District. Here you will find the second largest concentration of theater seats in a downtown area in the country. If you love the classics, attend the Houston Ballet or the Houston Symphony. You can even enjoy Broadway in Houston, with many of your favorite shows and perhaps something new and exciting.
Houston is known for having some unique tourist attractions. For example, you can take a 90-minute boat tour of Houston Harbor, one of the busiest harbors in the world, and see huge supertankers up close. Also unique is the Downtown Aquarium. Part restaurant, part aquarium and part amusement park, this is a great place to spend the day with the family.
The Downtown Aquarium isn't Houston's only unusual tourist attraction. With exhibits like the beer can house and car art, The Orange Show is not just the ultimate in artistic self-expression, it is a must-see Houston attraction.
Fans of professional sports will find their favorite sport here in pretty much any season. You can start your year off with Houston Rockets basketball, grab a hot dog at an Astros baseball game and finish the year cheering for the Texans football team at Reliant Stadium.
Houston has no shortage of great places to dine or fun nightlife haunts. Being this close to the Gulf Coast means that finding fresh seafood is not a problem. Restaurants like Danton's Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen have been thrilling taste buds in this region for a long time.
Houston's fabulous nightlife offers all the entertainment most travelers can handle. Whether you are looking for a rollicking cowboy bar, an Irish pub or a nice quiet neighborhood bar, Houston.com is a great resource for your travel planning. For some real Texas hospitality, drop by The Ginger Man, one of what are called American pubs in Texas.
With eight full size municipal courses, Houston is also a great golf city. Called Houston's best golfing value, Sharpstown Park Golf Course might be a good place to start. You can also find many other enjoyable public and municipal courses from which to choose.
For a comfortable, convenient, and affordable hotel in Houston, Texas, Extended Stay America has just what you are looking for..

My Prediction for the 2012 World Series
With last night's win over the Cardinals, it's official: The San Francisco Giants will be taking on the Detroit Tigers in the 2012 World Series; which begins Wednesday in San Francisco.
Now that the matchup is set, I wanted to take the time type up a blog post with my prediction of who I think will win the World Series. Though I'm normally way off when making predictions–I had the Rangers and Angels making the World Series in my March predictions–I feel fairly confident this particular time. (After all, I have a 50 percent chance of getting it right.)
With that said, this is how I feel it's going to play out:
Game 1- Tigers
Game 2- Giants
Game 3- Giants
Game 4- Tigers
Game 5- Tigers
Game 6- Giants
Game 7- Giants
That's right. Not only do I have the World Series going seven games, but I strongly feel the Giants are going to pull it out–both of which many people disagree with. A lot of people seem to think the Tigers are going to mow down the Giants with little effort whatsoever, and while that's not out of the question, I just don't see it happening.
First of all, the Tigers are going into the World Series on five days rest, while the Giants merely have today. While logic would tell you that rest is a good thing, in the case of post season baseball, I see it as working just the opposite. The Giants have momentum that the Tigers don't, and while the Tigers seem to be the favorite to win the World Series I think they're going to surprise a lot of people; and not in a good way.
One of the main reasons I think people feel the Tigers are going to be SO dominant against the Giants is because of the way they clobbered the Yankees in the ALCS. Something you have to keep in mind is that the Yankees weren't themselves during the series. Lets face it: They sucked. That's about as straight forward as I can put it. The only reason the Tigers were so impressive is because the Yankees played horribly. While I'm not trying to take anything away from the Tigers, I just want to get the point across that had the Yankees of played like THE Yankees, things wouldn't have gone the way they did; in terms of a sweep.
Now, something the Tigers have that the Giants don't is Justin Verlander. Every time he's on the mound, you have to like the Tigers chances of pulling out a victory. But while they have one of the best pitchers in baseball–along with the Triple Crown winner, in Miguel Cabrera–in the end, I don't think they'll be able to hold off the surging Giants. The Giants have too much going for them.
In the end, no matter who you have winning the World Series, as a baseball fan, you have to be excited about the upcoming week of Major League Baseball. Anytime you have a couple of teams as good as these going head-to-head in a pressure filled Fall Classic situation, you're sure to have some incredible games.
So that's who I have winning the World Series. Who's your pick?
Leave a comment below with who you have winning, and in how many games.
8 Comments
I think this shows your overall lack or perspective of the Detroit Tigers. Every pundit who doesn't spend enough time watching Detroit assumes the Tiger's rotation begins and ends with Verlander, and that is just not the case. For several stretches during the regular season this year and including the postseason last year, Verlander was out-pitched by either Scherzer or Fister.
While I don't think this necessarily means they're going to win the World Series, I think you're doing a great disservice to you and your blog assuming all of their success can be accounted by the poor play of the Yankees.
We shall see.
Yet it only took four games to cage the kittens.
Too many people weren't noticing that Pablo Sandoval was finally showing signs of being fully recovered from his wrist surgery in the NLCS. They also chose to forget that he'd seen Verlander before, and hit a colossal triple off him in the ASG–when he was hurting, still. So let's see the stats line for Panda vs. Verlander:
3-3, a triple, 2 HR, 7 RBIs.
Heck, even Barry Zito was able to hit off him. What's wrong with the AL that they can't hit him but Zito can?
Verlander, schmerlander.
Furthermore, EVERYONE underestimated the Giants' pitching.
Yes, indeed, in Bumgarner we trust. With just a slight tweak to his mechanics, He was nails–like he usually was.
Fun fact: Barry Zito had more RBIs than fat-a$$ Prince Fielder.

Porphyria Cutanea Tarda

It is possible that the main title of the report Porphyria Cutanea Tarda is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a rare disorder characterized by painful, blistering skin lesions that develop on sun-exposed skin (photosensitivity). Affected skin is fragile and may peel or blister after minor trauma. Liver abnormalities may also occur. PCT is caused by deficient levels of an enzyme known as uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD). In approximately 75% to 80% of cases this deficiency is acquired (PCT type 1 or sporadic PCT); in the remaining cases, individuals have a genetic predisposition to developing the disorder, specifically a mutation in the UROD gene (PCT type 2 or familial PCT). Most individuals with this genetic mutation do not develop PCT; the mutation is a predisposing factor and additional factors are required for the development of the disorder in these individuals. These factors are called susceptibility factors and are required for the development of both sporadic and familial PCT. Generally, PCT develops in mid to late adulthood. In extremely rare cases, individuals have mutations in both UROD genes. This autosomal recessive form of familial PCT is known as hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP). HEP occurs in childhood and is usually more severe than PCT types 1 or 2. NORD has a separate report on HEP.
PCT belongs to a group of disorders known as the porphyrias. This group of at least seven disorders is characterized by abnormally high levels of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors due to deficiency of certain enzymes essential to the creation (synthesis) of heme, a part of hemoglobin and other hemoproteins. There are eight enzymes in the pathway for making heme and at least seven major forms of porphyria. The symptoms associated with the various forms of porphyria differ. It is important to note that people who have one type of porphyria do not develop any of the other types. Porphyrias are generally classified into two groups: the "hepatic" and "erythropoietic" types. Porphyrins and porphyrin precursors and related substances originate in excess amounts predominantly from the liver in the hepatic types and mostly from the bone marrow in the erythropoietic types. Porphyrias with skin manifestations are sometimes referred to as "cutaneous porphyrias." The term "acute porphyria" is used to describe porphyrias that can be associated with sudden attacks of pain and other neurological symptoms. Most forms of porphyria are genetic inborn errors of metabolism. PCT is an acquired liver disease, in which some individuals have a genetic predisposition to developing the disorder.

For most of the game, it was as close as close can get.
But one poor stretch by the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team broke open a close game and helped Montana State win 73-60 in a key early-season Big Sky Conference game Saturday (Jan. 5) at Reese Court in Cheney, Wash.
The loss ended EWU's five-game winning streak, which included a perfect 3-0 start to the Big Sky Conference season. EWU is now 7-6 overall and 3-1 in the Big Sky, while Montana State improves to 3-1 in the league and 9-4 overall.
"I was not pleased with who we were this afternoon," said EWU head coach Wendy Schuller. "I was not pleased with our performance in terms of movement, energy and all the things we need to be. It's disappointing to do that on your home floor."
Carrie Ojeda had a double-double to lead the Eagles with 13 points and 10 rebounds, with 11 of those points and six boards coming in the second half.
"Carrie battled, and played really hard for us," said Schuller. "It would be nice if we could get her more touches in the paint. Part of that is her positioning, and some of it is our guards working to get the ball into her. But I think we need to do a better job of getting the ball to Carrie. She played hard tonight, and you could tell she was determined to do a good job on the glass for us."
Laura Hughes had nine first-half points and finished with 11. Lexie Nelson finished with 10 points, and Kyle Huerta scored six of her seven points in the first half.
Montana State made 61 percent of its shots in the second half (17-of-28), compared to just 26 percent for the Eagles (7-of-27). The Bobcats finished at 48 percent for the game, while Eastern made only 37 percent.
"Their [Montana State's] offensive execution was really good," said Schuller. "They did a great job of getting the ball into the paint, whether it was with post entries or drives. They just found ways to score inside. I felt like we were reacting rather than anticipating on the defensive end, and because of that, we got the result we did."
There were five ties and 10 lead changes in the first half, and EWU led 30-28 at intermission. The biggest lead for either team was four points by MSU, and Eastern held a 3-point lead at one point. Hughes and Huerta sparked the Eagles off the bench, combining for 15 of EWU's 30 first-half points.
Eastern opened a five-point lead early in the second half, then took a 50-45 advantage with 11:03 to play on a steal and basket by Ojeda. But that would be the last Eagle lead of the night.
Eastern went the next 5:48 without a field goal, as MSU used an 8-0 run to take the lead for good, then extended the lead to 60-54. During that stretch, Eastern missed five field goals, had five turnovers and made only 4-of-7 free throws.
A basket by Nelson ended the drought, and two free throws by Hughes pulled Eastern to within two at 60-58. But a three-point play by MSU's Rachel Semansky ignited a game-ending 13-2 run in the final 4:02 by the Bobcats.
Semansky, an All-Big Sky second-team selection in 2011-12, had 20 points and eight rebounds to lead the Bobcats, making 8-of-10 shots from the field and 4-of-7 free throws. She entered the game averaging 13.7 points per game on a conference-leading 57.4 percent from the field.
The loss denied EWU head coach Wendy Schuller a chance at her 150th win at Eastern. Her career record as a head coach currently stands at 149-186. Schuller is 77-93 in Big Sky Conference play.

It is good that while having a hard time dealing with DH's recent unexpected unemployment, we still can get comic relief from DD's (almost 23 months) chattering. This morning, when DD woke up (we cosleep), she said, "Hi, Mama! Hi, Daddy! Hi, BOOBIES!! BOOBIES!! Tessa's boobies!" and nosedived for the boobies. Somehow I got the picture she was way more excited to see the boobies than either Daddy or Mama.
Poor DH, though. The boobies haven't been his for quite some time now, and now DD's staked her claim and voiced it!

Stop. Look. Listen.
Before heading out to look at (and listen to) Blake Shelton's Ten Times Crazier tour, also featuring country newcomer Jana Kramer and the sizzling (All Over the Road) Easton Corbin, I stopped for a moment, smelled a few summer roses and dropped the dog off at the groomer in Long Eddy, NY. "I'll be back," I called out to her as she slinked off into the tub. "No worries; you'll be gorgeous." The concert was epic and built in momentum until the sold-out crowd went wild. I shook hands with Corbin, climbed the New York National Guard rock wall and took enough photos (with The River Reporter's Amanda Reed) to create an album, which will appear soon online. "Like" our page (www.facebook.com/theriverreporter) to find yours, tag your friends and capture the experience if you were unable to attend. I stopped, I looked, I listened.
"What's next?" I asked the pooch, while admiring her new 'do. Exhausted, she was catching a catnap. Think I'll join her before starting a new to-do list.

Check out my new t-shirts
So, if you've watched the youtube videos I've provided on this blog, you may know a little of the history behind my yellow-shirted ballhawking prowess.
In case you missed those entries…click here for my Channel 12 interview.
Click here for my interview on Fox.
Those interviews kind of explain the history.
Alright…my shameless self-promotion is completed.
It's time to unveil the new "Happy Youngster" shirts I will be wearing for the 2009 baseball season.
I designed the logo myself and my good friends over at the
Milwaukee Shirt Guys created them for me.
If you see a guy running after fly balls in Batting Practice (capitalized because it's so damn important) like his pants are on fire, check to see if he's wearing this shirt…it's probably me!!
And when that crazed maniac finally stops running when Batting Practice has concluded, come over and say "hello."
Every great ballhawk needs a consistent look…easier to recognize.
Mine just happens to be yellow!
So, whaddya think?

By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
PORTALES — Kim Falkenhagen is from the upper Midwest, but she's no stranger to this part of the world.
The 33-year-old Falkenhagen was named Eastern New Mexico University's volleyball coach on Tuesday. She replaces longtime coach and current athletic director Mike Maguire, who stepped down from coaching after six years in a dual role.
The Saginaw, Mich., native spent three seasons on Tony Graystone's staff at West Texas A&M, helping the Lady Buffs go 100-8 while reaching the national quarterfinals in 2000 and 2002 and the national round of 16 in 2001.
She's anxious to get going with the Zias.
"When I saw this job (advertised), I thought I'd look into it since I'm familiar with the area," said Falkenhagen, who spent the past four seasons as head coach at Division II Bemidji (Minn.) State.
Her record at Bemidji was 35-93, including 7-25 in 2006, but she and Maguire said the program there has been underfunded.
"She's (been) in a tough situation," said Maguire, who won nearly 400 matches in his 20 seasons at the ENMU helm. "I think it'll be a good fit for us because she knows the area and the conference."
Falkenhagen, who plans to be in Portales sometime next week, acknowledged she'll get a late start in recruiting.
"Hopefully we can get things rolling again," she said. "I'm real excited to get down to Eastern. They've had success in the past and the program has a lot of potential."
Assistant coach Daniel Burkert returns for his second season at ENMU.
"He's real eager to get some things done," said Falkenhagen, who as a player helped Northern Michigan win an NCAA Division II national championship in 1994 and reach the national finals the following year. "I think it's going to work out well."
Maguire said there were about 35 applicants for the position. Falkenhagen was one of three finalists.
"The field kind of narrowed itself," he said. "But there were some quality candidates."

Time: 7:00 pm - 8:45 pm
Type: Film
In conjunction with Unflinching Vision: Goya's Rare Prints, the Museum presents Blancanieves, the 2013 Best Film winner of the Goya Awards, Spain's main national film award. Known in Spain as los Premios Goya, the Goya Awards are named after the artist not only because he is a notable representative of Spanish culture, but also because his visual concept is very close to film. Blancanieves tells the story of the enchanting daughter (Sofia Oria and Macarena García) of a famed matador (Daniel Giménez Cacho) who flees her wicked stepmother (Maribel Verdú), to join a band of bullfighting dwarfs in a Spanish take on the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale Snow White. Upon learning what has become of her despised stepdaughter, the diabolical stepmother prepares to administer a punishment that will break the defiant girl's will for good. Set in Seville in the 1920s, Blancanieves is a tribute to silent films.

With Christopher Knight, better known as Peter Brady, celebrating his 57th birthday on Friday, what better time to check in with the stars of "The Brady Bunch"?
Here's the story: The classic TV sitcom "The Brady Bunch" premiered on Sept. 26, 1969, starring (clockwise, from top left) Maureen McCormick, Florence Henderson, Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Robert Reed, Susan Olsen and Eve Plumb. The show ran for five seasons before ending on March 8, 1974.
Florence Henderson played Carol Brady, one of the all-time classic TV moms.
Apart from subsequent "Brady" reunion shows after the original series, Henderson over the years has guest-starred on such shows as "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," "Hart to Hart," "Rosanne," "Ellen," "Ally McBeal" and "The King of Queens." She most recently appeared in cameos on the sitcoms "Instant Mom" and "Trophy Wife" and on the reality TV cooking competition "Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off." She also appeared as a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars" in 2007 and 2010 and had a role as Grandma in 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie." She has hosted her own talk show, "The Florence Henderson Show," since 2007, and started a cooking show, "Who's Cooking with Florence Henderson," in 2013, both on the cable network Retirement Living TV.
Robert Reed played "Brady Bunch" dad Mike Brady. Reed appeared in several "Brady"-related projects through 1990. Before starring on "The Brady Bunch," he had starred in the TV legal drama "The Defenders." Over the course of his career he was nominated for three Emmys, for his guest-starring role in a two-part episode of "Medical Center" and for his work on the miniseries "Rich Man, Poor Man" and "Roots." He died after a six-month battle with colon cancer, with HIV infection a contributing cause to his death, on May 12, 1992, at age 59.
Maureen McCormick played Marcia Brady, Carol Brady's oldest daughter.
McCormick has starred in most, but not all, "Brady" reunion specials, and has guest-starred on such shows as "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," "Touched by an Angel," "Moesha" and "Scrubs." She appeared as herself alongside Florence Henderson in the end credits of the movie "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" (throwing out an expletive to describe Marcia's tussles with sister Jan Brady), and on the reality shows "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2007 and "Gone Country" and "Outsider's Inn," both in 2008. She most recently appeared in the 2012 direct-to-video horror movie "Snow White: A Deadly Summer," alongside Eric Roberts.
Barry Williams played Greg Brady, the eldest of Mike Brady's three sons.
Since "The Brady Bunch," Williams has shared his time between roles on stage, public speaking and appearing on "Brady"-related projects. In 1992 he wrote the autobiography "Growing Up Brady," and served as executive producer of a television movie based on the tome in 2000. Like McCormick and Henderson, he appeared in the end credits of "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star." He also played a music producer in "The Brady Bunch Movie." His most recent screen credits came in the Syfy TV movies "Mega Piranha" in 2010 and "Bigfoot," co-starring with fellow former child star Danny Bonaduce, in 2012.
Eve Plumb played Jan Brady, the middle Brady daughter, with her jealousy of older sister Marcia or her awkward position as the middle child often fueling storylines on the show.
Plumb has appeared in not all, but most "Brady"-related projects since the original series ended. She has also guest-starred on such television shows as "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," "Wonder Woman," "The Facts of Life," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Army Wives," and the daytime dramas "All My Children" and "Days of Our Lives." She also appeared in the 2013 indie thriller "Blue Ruin" and in the Funny or Die musical web series "The Sisters Plotz," which has been made into a movie set for release later this year. She also is a self-taught painter who has been painting for more than 20 years.
Christopher Knight played Peter Brady, the middle Brady son.
Knight has appeared in all "Brady" reunion projects and had a cameo in 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie." Over the years he has guest-starred on such shows as "One Day at a Time," "The Bionic Woman," "Happy Days" and "CHiPs," and on the daytime drama "Another World." From 2005-08, Knight starred in reality show "My Fair Brady" opposite his wife, Adrianne Curry (who he met on VH1's "Surreal Life"), a winner on the reality show "America's Next Top Model." More recently, he's had a guest-star role on "CSI" and appeared in the 2012 indie comedy-drama "Letting Go." Knight and Curry eventually separated in 2011 and were divorced in February 2012.
Susan Olsen played Cindy Brady, the youngest of the Brady daughters. She was portrayed as a naive, but occasionally precocious little girl, who was most often seen wearing her hair in pigtails and had a pronounced lisp.
Olsen has appeared in most, but not all, "Brady"-related reunion projects and has worked as graphic designer and artist. She also had a cameo in "The Brady Bunch Movie," but her scenes were deleted. In 2008 she was a contestant on the reality competition, "Gimme My Reality Show!" Most recently she's appeared in the TV movies "A Halloween Puppy" and "Holiday Road Trip."
Mike Lookinland played Bobby Brady, the youngest Brady son. The precocious and often overlooked youngest boy, Bobby was often portrayed as a whimsical dreamer, fantasizing about having various adventurous lifestyles, such as being a race car driver, a football star, a cowboy, and an astronaut.
Lookinland has appeared in all "Brady"-related reunion projects and taken the occasional guest role. But, for the most part, his work since "The Brady Bunch" has been behind the scenes, as an assistant cameraman in film and television, including the TV movie "The Stand" and series "Promised Land" and "Everwood." He also appeared as himself in the end credits of "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star."
Ann B. Davis played the family's housekeeper, Alice Nelson. Alice was the housekeeper to Mike Brady, his previous wife (who died before the series started), and their three boys. Alice stayed on, to be the housekeeper for not only his boys, but for his new wife, Carol, and her three daughters. She was known for her sky blue housekeeping uniform, which she almost always wore, and for telling jokes, which were almost invariably met with multiple "Oh, Alice!" responses from the family.
Davis joined an Episcopalian religious community in Denver after the show ended in 1974. She also appeared in several "Brady"-related projects and, according to the Internet Movie Database, became involved in prayer, Bible study and charity work in Texas. She also made a cameo appearance as a truck driver named "Schultzy," a reference to her Emmy-winning role on the 1950s sitcom "The Bob Cummings Show," in 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie." Davis, seen here backstage at the 5th Annual TV Land Awards on April 14, 2007, died at age 88 on June 1, 2014.
For most of the series, Alice dated Sam Franklin (Allan Melvin), who ran the local butcher shop. In the final season of the show, Alice and Sam were engaged. They were married some time after the show left the air in 1974 and before the 1981 TV movie "The Brady Girls Get Married."
Melvin was also known for his roles on the TV shows "The Phil Silvers Show," "All in the Family" and "Archie Bunker's Place." When "Archie Bunker's Place" ended in 1983, Melvin's work was exclusively devoted to cartoon voice-overs. He died of cancer on Jan. 17, 2008, at age 84.
In the middle of the show's fifth and final season, producers added a new character named Oliver, Carol Brady's young nephew, who was sent to live with the Bradys while his parents were living in South America. Cousin Oliver, played by Robbie Rist, appeared on the final six episodes of the series, but was not well received by fans. The term "Cousin Oliver" has since come to be used to describe the addition of a young character to a series in an attempt to save a series from cancellation.
After "The Brady Bunch," Rist found roles in a variety of TV shows, including playing Ted Baxter's son David on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and Dr. Zee on "Galactica 1980." He also made guest appearances on "CHiPs" "Trapper John, M.D." and "Knight Rider." He played Booger in the failed 1991 TV pilot "Revenge of the Nerds" and had a supporting role in 1986's "Iron Eagle." As an adult, he's found more success as a voice actor, voicing Michaelangelo in the live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movies, playing the Siberian husky Star in 1995's "Balto" and lending his voice to TV series such as "Batman: The Animated Series," "Naruto" and "Doc McStuffins." One of his more recent higher-profile roles in front of the camera came as a school bus driver in the 2013 Syfy movie "Sharknado."
"Brady Bunch" creator Sherwood Schwartz, who also created "Gilligan's Island," died at age 94 on July 12, 2011.
The cast reunited at the 5th Annual TV Land Awards in Santa Monica, California, on April 14, 2007, and is seen here backstage with Kelly Ripa. Seen here is (from right to left) Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen, Ripa, Florence Henderson, Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick and Christopher Knight.
The Brady family made it to the big screen in 1995 with the parody film "The Brady Bunch Movie," which saw the 1970s family placed in the 1990s. The film starred Shelley Long as Carol Brady (top, center), Gary Cole as Mike Brady (bottom, center) and Christine Taylor as Marcia Brady (top, left).
"The Brady Bunch" had a variety of stars make cameos on the show over its five seasons, some as characters and some playing themselves. One of the most memorable was Jim Backus, better known for playing Mr. Thurston Howell III (aka "The Millionaire") on "Gilligan's Island" and as the voice of "Mr. Magoo." Backus appeared three times in "The Brady Bunch," including appearances in two of the three Grand Canyon episodes, "Ghost Town U.S.A." and "Grand Canyon or Bust," playing Zaccariah T. Brown, a prospector who mistakenly thinks the Bradys are jumping his gold claim and locks them in a ghost-town jail. He also played Mike Brady's boss in a fifth season episode.
But Backus wasn't the only "Gilligan's Island" alumnus to appear on "The Brady Bunch." Natalie Schafer, who played Lovey Howell, Backus' character's wife, on "Gilligan's Island," played Penelope Fletcher, a fussy client of Mike Brady's who is charmed by Cindy's impromptu Shirley Temple routine in fifth season episode "The Snooperstar."
Legendary horror film actor Vincent Price appeared in the three-part Hawaii vacation episodes kicking off the show's fourth season in 1972, playing the villainous Professor Hubert Whitehead, who holds the Brady boys hostage.
Desi Arnaz Jr., the teen heartthrob son of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, played himself during the show's first season, appearing in the episode "The Possible Dream." In the episode, Cindy gives away Marcia's diary, in which she wrote of her crush on Arnaz, who later shows up at the Brady's house because Alice knows Lucille Ball's housekeeper.
Arnaz was hardly the only Marcia Brady crush to appear on the show. Davy Jones of The Monkees famously appeared in the third season episode "Getting Davy Jones," performing at a music studio and then taking Marcia to her school dance. He also satirized his cameo decades later in "The Brady Bunch Movie."
Famous Hawaiian singer Don Ho (second from left) played himself 1972's "Hawaii Bound," the first of the three-part Hawaii vacation episodes. In the episode, he sang for Cindy and Bobby after they run into him outside of the Sheraton Waikiki.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, and future Hall of Famer, Don Drysdale dropped in on the Bradys in the second season episode "The Dropout." After stopping by to take a look at plans for a house Mike was designing for him, he gives some baseball tips to Greg that go immediately to his head.
Deacon Jones, a defensive end for the Los Angeles Rams and a 1980 inductee of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, appeared as himself in the second season episode "The Drummer Boy," encouraging Peter's singing.
In perhaps the most famous "Brady Bunch" cameo ever, New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath appeared in the fifth season episode "Mail Order Hero," where Bobby lies to his friends when he tells them that he knows Namath.
