Bluefield State College Offers Around-the-Clock Online Academic Assistance to Students
CreatedThursday, October 21 2010
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Washington, DC and Bluefield, WV)–Bluefield State College has partnered with SMARTHINKING, the leading provider of online tutoring and academic support, to offer live tutoring anytime, from anywhere. Students receive real-time assistance in math, chemistry, bilingual math, physics, organic chemistry, biology, intro to anatomy & physiology, economics, introductory finance, accounting, and statistics. Writing support for all subjects is also provided through the online writing lab. SMARTHINKING e-structors™ have substantial tutoring and teaching experience, usually have an advanced degree, and participate in a rigorous online training and evaluation program.
By offering online tutoring through SMARTHINKING, BSC is making convenient and easy-to-use academic assistance available to students despite the time of day or their location. The service is especially helpful to those students who might not ordinarily be able to take advantage of traditional face-to-face tutoring or on-campus resources, such as commuter students, distance education students, students studying late at night, or any student with a hectic schedule.
According to Terry Thompson, BSC's SMARTTHINKING coordinator, "This is a tremendously valuable service because our students have varied work and life schedules. Through SMARTTHINKING, they can access academic support when they need it, regardless of the time." Currently at BSC, students can use the on-campus learning assistance resources for limited hours. Administrators felt that with students becoming more accustomed to 24/7 service in other aspects of their lives, they should also be able to access academic support to suit their own schedules.
SMARTHINKING has been providing assistance to students since Spring 2000 and currently serves over 500 clients across the nation. Knowing that SMARTHINKING has been successfully tested and highly rated by its users, BSC can be assured of receiving a high-quality service.
SMARTHINKING is not designed to replace traditional college assistance programs or traditional college courses. Its purpose is to serve as a supplement, in most cases, to existing campus tutoring programs and provide students with another tool for success.

August 28, 1995: Peering deep into the globular star cluster M4 with the Hubble telescope, Canadian and American astronomers have discovered a large number of "stellar corpses," called white dwarf stars, which may be used eventually to refine age estimates of the universe.
The observation was so sensitive that even the brightest of the detected white dwarfs was no more luminous than a 100-watt light bulb seen at the moon's distance (239,000 miles). A Hubble color image of a small portion of the cluster reveals eight white dwarf stars [inside the white circles] among the cluster's much brighter population of yellow, Sun-like stars and cooler red dwarf stars. Hubble reveals a total of 75 white dwarfs in one small area within M4 out of a total of about 40,000 white dwarfs that the cluster is predicted to contain. The picture on the left is a view of the cluster taken by a ground-based telescope.See the rest:

Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment
Funded by the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Populations and Communities and the National Water Commission, the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment (the Assessment) carried out a basin-scale investigation of water resources across the Great Artesian Basin (GAB), assessing the status of water resources, identifying the potential impacts of climate change and resource development on those water resources and filling knowledge gaps in our understanding of the resource. The Assessment provides an updated interpretation of the geology and hydrogeology of the GAB resulting in an update of the conceptualisation of how the groundwater system operates.
This web page provides access to reports and data produced for the Assessment.

Reporting outputs from the Assessment, including technical reports and region reports.
The Great Artesian Basin
The GAB encompasses several geological basins that were deposited at different times in Earth's history, from 200 to 65 million years ago in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. These geological basins sit on top of deeper, older geological basins and in turn, have newer surface drainage divisions situated on top of them (e.g. the Lake Eyre and Murray-Darling river basins). In this context - as a groundwater basin - the GAB is a vast groundwater entity underlying one-fifth of Australia.
The GAB contains an extensive and complex groundwater system, comprising a complex of multi-layered aquifers of variable character composed of predominantly continental sandstones. These aquifers are separated and partly confined by aquitards of both fluvial and marine mudstone and siltstone.
The Assessment was prepared by CSIRO. Geoscience Australia was a significant contributor to the Assessment. Important aspects of the work were undertaken by Flinders University, South Australian Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (formerly Department for Water), MA Habermehl Pty Ltd and Sinclair Knight Merz.

Powder: Wide
These are for experts who want a specialized powder skis, but also value versatility. They're wide but manageable (90–105 mm underfoot), so they surf the deep but bust crud and carve on groomed, too. Best for resort powder days, out of bounds and crud when the hill gets tracked out.

Banks must prepare to trim the fat
A dismal first quarter for fixed income, currencies and commodities will have forced many bank chief executives to address the uncomfortable question of where they must prune their businesses.
It is not just a matter of one poor quarter, however. Investment banks just have too much of their firepower pointing in the wrong direction, as we argue in the report we published jointly last month, "Mis-allocated resources: why banks need to optimise now".
We estimate that a further 8%, or $1 trillion, of the investment banking sector's balance sheet is poorly directed and could be cut.
This is a handicap for the industry as a whole, but an opportunity for individual players. Banks that step up to the challenge could add between one and three percentage points to their return on equity – delivering as much as a 20% improvement in returns. This is a huge prize, given that returns were only 11% in 2013, or 6% once fines and the drag from businesses that have already been exited are fully factored in.
Banks need to make more cuts as well as re-allocate towards growth areas, making much tighter portfolio decisions and trading off leverage, risk capital and funding for areas where they have an edge. And the case for change in 2014 is compelling.
First, the effects of new regulation are becoming clearer, and within the next two years many of the remaining post-crisis rules will be finalised.
In particular, banks need to respond to tougher leverage ratios. US regulators have already moved to a 5% ratio for the largest institutions and the odds of a 4% leverage ratio for some or all of Europe's largest banks are increasing. This particularly affects the economics of flow rates and credit, corporate lending, repo and prime brokerage: all of which are asset-heavy businesses.
But, importantly, this changes the economics of cross-subsidy models, whereby cheap financing is used to support the sale of higher margin products, and the banks' portfolio mix.
Banks will need to look afresh at how much leverage they can sustain in their models and where best to use this scarce resource – as well as look to re-price either the financing or the higher-margin products where possible.
The most successful players will move faster to understand and act on the trade-offs across multiple constraints.
Second, we forecast lacklustre overall industry revenues. While we see a good cyclical improvement in equities and investment banking divisions, this is likely to be offset by another poor year in FICC. Central bank action to suppress volatility is hitting macro products such as rates and foreign exchange hard, as there is a reduced need to hedge and fewer moves in price to necessitate trading.
Third, there is too much capital and cost tied up in areas where client payback will be low and banks are still working on old assumptions about how they cross-sell and cross-subsidise that may no longer hold. Finally, client demand is changing rapidly. Our interviews with investors and corporate treasurers suggest that margins are likely to deteriorate further, and that clients plan to polarise their spend, to happily pay partner banks, defined as those able to provide the majority of a client's needs within key geographies, and those with specialisms in specific products, but squeezing the rest.
Shifting client demands
While more than two-thirds of the investors who spoke to us expect trading volumes to increase, buying patterns are shifting, skewing the benefits. For instance, our research underscores the opportunities from multi-asset investing, a $3.5 trillion segment today that could increase by 10%-15% a year. Our interviews suggest that few banks are nailing this opportunity.
The case for significant optimisation is strongest in fixed income given the disruptive forces at work including vast changes in market structure, new leverage rules biting and revenues that are likely to disappoint again in 2014. Repeated misconduct issues have brought a starker realisation that more electronic, cleared and transparent market structures will, over time, bring broad-based benefits and have to be embraced more quickly.
We expect returns to remain poor for many banks unless they grasp the benefits of market structure change by cutting capacity further and re-allocating capital faster, primarily from the structurally shrinking rates business, towards new forms of credit provision.
New leverage ratio constraints increase the pressure on rates books in particular. Rates revenues have now dropped 60% since their 2009 highs, but we estimate 30% to 40% of Basel III FICC assets are still tied up in off-exchange rates markets and deliver only single-digit returns.
We estimate the industry as a whole needs to take up to $15 billion-$20 billion more capital out of the business, and to strip out costs from areas such as voice sales and manual trading, but will need to embrace structural reform faster to achieve this. The lack of liquidity in credit markets was a top concern of most of the investors who spoke to us for our recent report. Many banks cannot make money in flow credit and those able to commit risk and balance sheet are cleaning up. Others are being pushed to primary markets-oriented or specialist models.
At the same time, we see unmet needs in parts of the economy, such as SME lending and long-term financing, that may present new opportunities for those able to innovate.
The strongest firms are pressing their advantage. We estimate the top beneficiaries have already captured 1%-2% share each in FICC between 2010 and 2013, adding about two percentage points on wholesale return on equity. We think this trend will continue. Experience from equities and foreign exchange suggests it is possible to take market share in times of structural change, and that it is those with scale that win out.
The breadth and complexity of fixed income markets mean a greater variety of models remain viable. But the winning business models will be more diverse as banks optimise where they have a real advantage. Balkanisation will challenge returns, particularly for the European firms, and drive even starker regional choices, pushing more firms to focus more on specific geographies and putting pressure on global flow monsters. US firms have the opportunity to benefit from home market advantages and their progress on leverage.
The bottom line is, more tough decisions are needed in fixed income. But the prize is greater share gains and returns for those who can focus on where they have real advantage and scale.

March 24, 2011 —
It doesn't sound quite as charming as the swallows that return to Capistrano, CA every year in March, but a similar avian homecoming takes place in Narrowsburg. For at least the past seven years, and perhaps quite a bit longer, a flock of turkey vultures returns to Narrowsburg each spring after spending the winter in warmer surroundings.
A favorite perch of this group is two large trees on Bridge Street in Narrowsburg, just above St. Francis Xavier Church. This photograph was taken shortly after the snow stopped falling on March 21. The birds will remain in the area, often returning to the same perch, until the weather turns colder again in the fall.
These vultures are often seen in a spread-winged stance. The stance is believed to serve multiple functions: drying the wings, warming the body and baking off bacteria. It is practiced more often following damp or rainy nights. The best time to see the buzzards in the trees is the early morning.

Senju Tsunade
Tsunade (綱手, Tsunade) is the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure (五代目火影, Godaime Hokage), a descendent from the Senju clan and from the Uzumaki clan through her grandfather Senju Hashirama and her grandmother Uzumaki Mito. She succeeded in the position of Hokage after the death of her teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, at the hands of her fellow team mate, Orochimaru. She, along with Orochimaru and Jiraiya, are recognised as "The Legendary Sannin of Konoha". She is also celebrated as the greatest medical-nin of all time and is also credited with creating the official system of the medical ninja. Because of this, she is regarded as one of the most powerful and talented Koinoichi to have ever existed.
As one of the Legendary Sannin and the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade is undoubtedly one of the most powerful ninja that Konoha has ever produced. She is a remarkable combatant and medical-nin and is also hailed as the world's strongest kunoichi, which has lead to many younger kunoichi to look up to her. Jiraiya commented that no one could stand equal to her in terms of close combat and medical prowess.
Descending from the Uzumaki and Senju clans, she possesses an extraordinary long potential lifespan as well as strong life force, vitality and stamina. As a result of her medical prowess and her ancestry, Tsunade has a very high level of chakra control, capable of using complicated and delicate techniques with great ease.
Besides her medical expertise and mastery, Tsunade's trademark is her incredible raw physical strength. She is capable of crushing the ground with a simple finger or to send an enemy flying with a simple finger flick. Using her incredible chakra control, she can use chakra enhanced strength to produce devastating assaults by concentrating chakra on the point of contact and releasing it with a precise timing, boosting her strength to unsurpassed levels.
While her immense vitality, raw strength and battle expertise may be already frightening, her most powerful abilities come from her White Strength Seal. Over a period of time, Tsunade will focus and build up chakra in the seal mark on her forehead. The release command will disperse the seal and allow the stored chakra to pump back into her body. This chakra powers her already incredible strength even more and enables her the use of her unique abilities: Creation Rebirth and Strength of a Hundred.
Creation Rebirth and Strength of a Hundred are the pinnacle of medical ninjutsu, showcasing Tsunade's mastery over that field. Both techniques work with the same principle, using the yin chakra released from the yin seal to heal Tsunade's body from any injury. An envied ability, even by Orochimaru, which can give Tsunade a sort of "immortality" in battle, enabling her to regenerate lost limbs or organs, regardless of the damage. Coming at a great cost to her, the abilities themselves are labeled as forbidden and only Tsunade can use them.
Tsunade can summon slugs of varying sizes, although she has only ever been seen summoning Katsuyu. The slugs' primary abilities seem to revolve around spitting acid and splitting into smaller slugs. Tsunade apparently has a mental connection with Katsuyu, as she was able to get reports and send out messages through Katsuyu during the invasion of Pain. Tsunade can transfer her chakra to a large number of slugs over long distances. By having the slugs spread out and attach themselves to wounded individuals, Tsunade is then capable of healing multiple injuries at different locations simultaneously. This technique proved particularly helpful during the Invasion of Pain which helped Tsunade preserve the life of the majority of the village even after a devastating attack by the enemy forces.
Tsunade's Abilities:
- She can use the White Strength Seal (found here) and its techniques, Creation Rebirth and Strength of a Hundred (both found here).
- She is signer of the Slug Contract
- Because of her innate strength, Tsunade has a passive boost of +10 to all Taijutsu techniques.
- She can use Chakra Enhanced Strength and its related Taijutsu, which can be found here
- She has a perfect Chakra Control
- Member must be at least Sannin Rank
- Member must have mastery over Taijutsu and up tp B-Rank regular Ninjutsu
- To use other medical techniques other than Creation Rebirth and Strength of a Hundred, one needs to finish NB's medical school

Hi I am writting for support and or advice!
I am a stay at home mother of a 14 mos. old girl. Lately, she has been waking up in the middle of the night in a complete panic.....screaming, I was so afraid that I first thought that perhaps she was having a seisure but after a few minutes of rocking and consoling her I offered the mighty breasts and fell back to sleep within minutes.
During the past few days she has also been more clingy, she at times won't even let me put her down for a minute! she has only been cared for by me and I spend all day with her and I do sing, dance, wear her.
This is new. She has always been cuddly but enjoyed some independent to play. I must add that she appears to be teething, learning to walk... perhaps these milestones are making her more sensitive?
can anyone relate?

Amidst the excitement for Croteam announcing Serious Sam HD for Xbox Live Arcade and PC last week, there was a group of disgruntled gamers: PlayStation 3 owners. The platform wasn't mentioned as a destination for the remake, but why? I asked Croteam for an explanation to pass onto TheFeed readers, and I received a response from Croteam CEO Roman Ribaric, who laid out his studio's reasons -- and what you can do about it.
"We did plan for PSN at the start of Serious Sam HD development," said Ribaric.
"[We] couldn't get additional financing to support [the] extra development time needed," he continued. "It was either to do PSN by the same date or forget about it. There was also a thought to find another team to do it, but nobody was either willing (a.k.a. not enough time/money/interest) or realistically being able (or crazy enough) to do it in such short period."
When Croteam realized it couldn't produce Serious Sam HD for PS3 at the same time at the other platforms, it discussed the possibility of releasing Serious Sam HD on Sony's console at a later day. But that's where Croteam hit another unexpected snag, an issue you guys could help Ribaric resolve.
"We [have considered] doing PSN after we finish PC and XBLA," he said. "However, we keep hearing over and over from publishers, investors, marketing and other suits that players from one console, in this case PSN, wouldn't want to get it later, let's say eight months and seven days after, if it's released sooner on the other console, here that would be XBLA. I would normally say that's a lot of bull, but I will refrain here from my comment. What do your readers think?"
That's where you guys come in. If Croteam was to consider pushing resources into porting Serious Sam HD, but acknowledged it couldn't deliver the game until well after the other versions were on the market, would there still be an interest from gamers? The only one who can really help answer that question is you.
"It would feel perfect to have it on PSN as well," he said. "However, we are a garage team of 20 people, although with a larger garage now, working on Serious Sam HD for PC and XBLA platforms. Along that, we are developing Serious Sam 3 and Serious Engine 3 tech for both platforms. Now, I know we are good, but we are not that good to add PSN and finish at the same time. Just kidding, we are that good, but we are not supermen."
Tell Ribaric what you think. I'll be pointing him towards the comments. He'll be reading.

I like everything Melo said. Got me a little pumped.. Nice post KPH.
The only thing that kinda didn't make sense was when the writer said we "pushed" the Celtics. Lil' bit of a stretch there but whatevs..
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
This is why[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]wanted to come to the Knicks. It isn't only about bringing an NBA title home. It's about this city, his city.
Anthony was as cool as the spring night last night as he sat in Suite 4 at Yankee Stadium dressed in designer shades and a multi-color sweater. And he was surrounded by big-money employees of broker-dealer WJB Capital Group.
You don't get this in Denver.
"The excitement is back," Anthony told The Post. "We were in the playoffs, the Rangers were in the playoffs, now we got the Yankees. New York is the place, year round, and we're going to be part of it."
How big a part?
Anthony wasn't about to declare the Knicks the favorite to win next year's NBA Finals. But he believes the team's playoff push and a gutty first-round effort in which a hobbled team pushed the Celtics has set the stage for next season.
"There's a bull's-eye on us and it's getting bigger," he said. "When you have a team with me, Amar'e [Stoudemire] and Chauncey Billups, that's already a bull's-eye, but now we're going to have a year under us."
Anthony said he understands that Knicks fans might have been frustrated the team didn't achieve greatness after acquiring him in a February blockbuster trade with the Nuggets. After nine seasons in the NBA, he's learned the importance of continuity and commitment.
"A lot of people thought, 'They got Melo, they're to win it,' " he said. "It doesn't work that way. You have to have a commitment from everyone to win. We have that now. We're all committed to putting in the work to bring a title to New York."
Anthony didn't talk about the possibility of the Knicks adding additional free-agent stars such as guard Chris Paul or center Dwight Howard. He has seen Stoudemire try to play through agonizing back spasms in the playoffs and watched Billups knock down countless big shots.
He doesn't care if fans think of the Knicks as his team or Stoudemire's team. The Brooklyn native, who led Syracuse to the 2003 NCAA title, has one goal:
Win it all.
"Knicks fans have no idea yet what they have in him," said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, who was at the stadium for a Coaches vs[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]event. "The only thing that matters to Carmelo is winning. It's all he's about. He's a very, very special player."
And he's in a very, very special place.
As Anthony was readying to leave the stadium, Yankees employees who are accustomed to seeing superstars such as Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez on a nightly basis, politely gathered on the suite-level floor to catch a glimpse of the Knicks' newest superstar.
He is comfortable in this setting, smiling to all, nodding to well wishers with his personable son Kiyan by his side.
"New York always has a bull's-eye on it," said Anthony. "This is where you want to succeed. It's why Amar'e came here. The bull's-eye is going to be bigger next season and we'll be ready for it."
I like everything Melo said. Got me a little pumped.. Nice post KPH.
The only thing that kinda didn't make sense was when the writer said we "pushed" the Celtics. Lil' bit of a stretch there but whatevs..
Damn right."You don't get this in Denver."
i bet in his entire career here he will never attend a single rangers game.
Melo is our boy!
The straightest Knick since John Starks!
So proud to have him. STAT is a great man, but Melo is wearing that NYC swag on his sleeve
I still think Miami is too big for us in the next couple of years. We might end up beeing the second best team in the world for the next 3-4 years....90s all over again
How can I respect a fan who is willing to AGAIN fantasize on a specific free-agent to be, and prioritize him (a PG) over a quality big?
After all we as fans been through... considering who we already have... witnessing the Jetison of every quality to semi-quality big we've had since (and including) Patrick Ewing...
And you want to sell me on another year of "Just wait til'" and that "til'" equals some one other than a big...
WOW. D'Antoni must be growing on some of you. I have no words.
Yeah anyone would want a prime healthy CP3- but NOT before filling NEEDED holes. That makes absolutely no sense.
Bothers me to see people declare Chris Paul already to be on the Knicks. Bothers me even more that people think the Hornets are gonna trade him for Billups and Fields? You kidding me?
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
melo and amare have to coexist on the court before we can go ANYWHERE. im not one of the blind believers that an offseason together will magically make them click
It's all about the distribution and the plays run by the PG.
Steve Nash managed to feed STAT, Joe Johnson, Q-Rich, Marion and Tim Thomas all at the same time in Phoenix and on top of that created enough offense for himself to score 20 ppg.
Billups is old and has never been an elite playmaker. Elite PG yes, back in 03-04, elite playmaker - never. The Pistons were successful because of their defense.
You can add any big in the word, without an elite PG we're not going to win a championship. Can Marc Gasol play distributor? Can DeAndre Jordan? Can Dwight Howard? No, they all need some good passing and some good plays run for them. CP3 or even Deron Williams can do that.
Melo is the man...love the effort he put up in the playoffs....too bad Amar'e and Billups were hurt...we would had given Boston all they could handle...i think it would had gone 7 games, especially if Dantoni was a better coach. Those first 2 games were all ours
Got to call bullsh*t on this one. If he was about winning he would have signed with us in two months. We would have been championship contenders next year. Now? Who knows how long it may take with the new CBA and lack of draft picks, flexibility, depth, bench and assets."The only thing that matters to Carmelo is winning. It's all he's about."
Suffered?!? There are many free agents this summer. None of them demanded to be traded and many of them stand to lose a far greater percentage of their salary than Melo. The superstars are still going to get paid massive amounts of money with the new CBA. It's the mid-level players that are going to get hurt the most. Yet none of them are complaining.
Plus, Melo has made over $100 mil in his career thus far. Instead of $65 mil, he probably would have gotten $45-50 mil. So instead of $165 mil, he gets $150 mil.
People feeling sorry for Melo are just Knick fans trying to sugar coat the reality of Melo's greed. Say what you want about Melo's skills, but the truth is he was just about getting what he wanted. Winning was obviously secondary. There is really no debate here.

Teddy bears to troops in Afghanistan
Their smiling, expectant faces in the photographs belie the nature of the danger faced by those who comprise the 101st Airborne Division in one of the most inhospitable countries that lies half way around the world—Afghanistan.
While President Obama may have re-defined the nature of the military's role in Afghanistan, these young men know that they must remain vigilant, aware that if they let their guard down, they can be hurt or killed.
Residents of the Town of Highland have supported these troops through the Americans Supporting Americans Adopt-a-Unit program. Those who are in the program say the best way to serve "their soldiers" is to bring a little bit of home to the desolate, barren region where the soldiers are stationed. Photographs sent back show the troops in a stark area known as Kunar Province, but spirits are high, as can be deduced by broad smiles.
According to Peter D. Carmeci, of the Tusten-Highland-Lumberland VFW Post 6427, the troops are appreciative of the little things the town has done, such as shipping over newspapers from the area, sports magazines, homemade food and the like; the gifts help them to deal with the task at hand, which can be described as difficult at best.
Carmeci spoke before the town board at the meeting on March 12 and made an unusual request to the people of Highland. These brave young men are asking for, among other things, teddy bears and stuffed animals. Carmeci explained that the troops give the stuffed toys to local children as a goodwill gesture.
The troops also crave a bit of home cooking. More specifically, the troops crave homemade cookies—the kind that moms bake. Carmeci told the residents of Highland and parts nearby to fire up their ovens and bake chocolate chip, oatmeal and peanut butter cookies, so the troops can go on helping our country through whatever trials the Pentagon has planned for them. Residents are asked to drop off homemade cookies at the Eldred Town Hall between April 1 and 4.
Councilwoman Mandy Scully felt so moved that she asked if she were to bake cookies would they reach the troops in sufficient time to retain the flavor. Scully was reassured that the cookies would be mailed on April 5 and in the hands of the soldiers as soon as possible. She further asked, "Would they take teddy bears that were "'gently used?'" Carmeci answered in the affirmative.
Supervisor Andrew Boyar urged the town to get involved with the process. He has supported the project since its inception. "Drivers can have yellow stickers on their cars supporting our troops, but this is more tangible. With these packages, the troop feels less isolated," he said.
Studies have indicated that troops such as the 101st Airborne Division see themselves as "blood" relatives and steadfastly look out for each other's safety and consider themselves "family," akin to the families they left behind in the U.S. The three platoons that compromise 68 soldiers are extremely close knit, said Carmeci.
Any questions can be referred to Doreen Hanson, town clerk, at 845/557-6085.

I attended my first Comic Convention in Winnipeg, and it was a lot of fun. I met lots of people, saw lots of costumes, and handed out lots of drawings, so it was a good day. I kind of regret not spending more time checking out more of the stuff in Artist Alley, but I felt kind of obliged to stick close to my table. I guess the highlight of the day would be meeting Joe Combs of 'Business Casual' fame, as well as the guys from the 'Online Internet Webcomic Show'. I felt like a groupie.
Joe was also kind enough to give me a copy of each of his mini-comics, very cool!
And as I said, I handed out a bunch of drawings to people, which as fun to do. Here's an example of one (nobody would take this one, strange…)
Always fun to make light of injuries to children!
And last but not least, Crowbar Benson was featured in the 'Friends in Fire' webcomic by Adam Williams, which was pretty cool. He had his characters dress up like webcomic characters for halloween, which was a great idea. He really captured the essence of Crowbar in this strip.

Moris Donald "Bubba" Clawson, 46, was alive but unresponsive when deputies and EMS paramedics found him lying on a road at Mission River Oaks on Aug. 6.
Several residents who live in the rural area along the banks of the Mission River called the sheriff's department to report a man staggering and walking "loopy."
Deputies Ron Ramirez and Glen Grashamwere dispatched to investigate and found Clawson unconscious but breathing. His temperature was highly elevated. Clawson was transported to Refugio Memorial Hospital before being transferred to a Victoria hospital.
"My first concern was how he got from Woodsboro, where he was working as a carpenter, to Mission River Oaks," said Sheriff Robert Bolcik.
Investigators at the sheriff's department began to track his movements.
"We had eye witnesses who saw him at 1:36 p.m. on Wranosky Road," Bolcik said "He was also seen going into Haertig's where he bought a beer. Two eye witnesses saw him walking into Mission River Oaks at about 2:30."
The Clawson family is heartbroken with unanswered questions. Denesa Reni Clawson, Bubba's sister, is perplexed about why he was in Mission River Oaks.
"As far as I know, he had no friends or acquaintances there and it's a long way to walk from Woodsboro," Reni said.
"Bubba was picked up to go to a job in Woodsboro," Reni said. "He had a disagreement with his boss who thought Bubba took some money. His boss ran him off. Then he found his money."
Later that afternoon, Reni says the boss called looking for Bubba.
"He said he wanted to apologize to Bubba," Reni said. "I told him I'd tell Bubba when he got home but he never made it back."
Reni wonders why he walked three miles from Woodsboro to Mission River Oaks when his best friend lives near his work site in Woodsboro.
"If he knew anybody out there, I don't know who it is," Reni said.
Also troubling are the bruises found on Bubba's chest.
Yet, the coroner said blunt force trauma did not cause his death, according to the sheriff. Also, no bruises were found on his legs, ruling out that he was hit by a vehicle.
Reni also wonders if he was knocked unconscious and driven to Mission River Oaks and dumped out.
"My brother was honest, gentle and quiet," Reni said. "When they found him, he still had on his tool belt."
His sister said Bubba never argued with her, even as a kid. His untimely death has too many unanswered questions.
"My father said, we'll just have to let God sort it out," Reni said.
He is the son of Jo Ann and Morris Don Clawson of Cuero.
Funeral services are set at 2 p.m., Saturday at First Baptist Church in Bayside. The family will hold a private burial service at a later date.

Remember the days when our television choices were limited to three major networks, public television and maybe some UHF stations?
When ABC, NBC and CBS dictated what appeared on television and we turned to Walter Cronkite or Huntley-Brinkley as our daily gatekeepers of television news?
Today, our news and programming choices are vast and varied, allowing us to turn to the networks or diverse cable outlets that provide news programming, recipes or golf tips. Radio has exploded and become specialized in major media markets and the Internet allows each of us to be a distributor and consumer of news and information.
While the media landscape has changed dramatically, government regulations concerning ownership of media outlets are remnants of a bygone era, but today that may change.
The Federal Communications Commission is scheduled to vote on a proposal that would ease restrictions on media companies owning other outlets — newspapers, television and radio stations — in the same major market and allow single media companies to own TV stations that reach more than 35 percent of the U.S. audience.
The deregulation plan is expected to pass with the support of three Republicans on the commission while two Democrat commissioners oppose relaxing ownership limits.
Critics, even some social conservatives who decry government regulation against their causes, say media ownership restrictions are necessary to prevent programming decisions from being concentrated in the hands of a few who, they contend, would limit diverse viewpoints.
But FCC Chairman Michael Powell, who supports the proposal, told Reuters that "as long as this country is diverse … you're going to have a very difficult time making money being a one-note station."
He's right. Fears that the new media ownership rules would choke off diversity are unfounded and ignore today's realities of the information marketplace where media consumers have a plethora of media choices and, with the intense focus on ratings, become arbiters of media programming.
It makes good business sense to offer more diversity to the American media consumer, not less.
"These rules have become historic anachronisms that ignore new market conditions and the intense competition for our eyes and ears," wrote Adam Thierer and Clyde Wayne Crews, Jr., telecommunications and technology experts at The Cato Institute. "Even as the underlying business structures and relationships in this industry continue to change, the one undeniable reality of our modern media marketplace is that information and entertainment are commodities that cannot be monopolized."
While critics decry the possible "Wal-Martization" of media — in which major companies purchase smaller ones — it's an economic reality that larger businesses often have the capital and resources to launch competitive enterprises that increase consumer choices. A few years ago, CNN was the only outlet for 24-hour cable news. Now, Fox News Channel and MSNBC are competing in that venue and offering news alternatives for consumers.
The FCC's ownership rules are simply no longer necessary. The consumer has more power over today's media, unlike the days when our choices were limited to what the Big Three networks chose to feed us, and today the consumer demands options.
Diversity in programming has proved to be commercially successful. The free market will not allow that to be turned off.

A man made an interesting discovery in the walls of the home he was remodeling.
David Gonzalez of Elbow Lake, Minnesota, bought an abandoned house for about $10,000, planning to remodel it. While tearing down one of the walls in the house, Gonzalez found a copy of an extremely rare comic book amid the newspapers used as insulation. A copy of 1938's Action Comics #1 - best known as the first appearance of Superman - was tucked in the wall.
Not knowing how much it was worth, Gonzalez decided to auction it off and the current bid is over $100,000, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
In an unfortunate turn, when Gonzalez showed his find to his family, there was an argument over the comic and it was accidentally torn. This mistake is thought to cost Gonzalez about $75,000, according to the co-owner of the auction house selling the book. Still, collectors are amazed by the find.

The three painters selected for the exhibition, Christopher St. Leger, Ellen Tanner and Jean Carruthers Wetta, work in oil and watercolor, producing new interpretations of classic subjects such as landscapes, still lifes and portraits. According to Tracy Saucier, director of the Beeville Art Museum, "We try to bring a variety of art to the museum—everything from more traditional art forms to art cars and on-site installations—but for our fall show, we decided to get back to the basics, with a slight twist."
Christopher St. Leger, an artist living in Lockhart who creates "snapshots in paint," produces urban landscapes in soft, pastel watercolors. His works, both realistic and surreal, feature skateboard street culture and people on the move.
Artist Ellen Tanner offers a different take on the traditional portrait, embellishing her art historical portrayals of famous women with colorful and unexpected details. The third artist in the show, Jean Carruthers Wetta, presents a wide range of still lifes, some with familiar objects, others not-so-familiar, with surprising interpretations.
The Beeville Art Museum, created and operated by the Joe Barnhart Foundation, is first and foremost a teaching museum, providing cultural and educational opportunities for the citizens of Bee County and surrounding areas.
The Beeville Art Museum, 401 E. Fannin St., is open to the public 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. To contact the museum, call 361-358-8615 or visit the website at www.bamtexas.org.

Inspired by The Hobbit and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that J.R.R. Tolkien created to provide "the necessary background of history for Elvish tongues". From these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in English literature.
The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between the powers of good and evil.
In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien's great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe – hobbits, elves, and wizards – step colorfully into life. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.
©1983 Christopher R. Tolkien, Michael H.R.Tolkien, John F.R. Tolkien, and Priscilla M.A.R.Tolkien (P)1990 Recorded Books
"At last - The Definitive Recording!"
There are a number of Lord of the Rings recordings out there, including a superb dramatization by the BBC. But there is only ONE set of unabridged recordings of the trilogy -- from Recorded Books and read by Rob Inglis. For many years, I've treasured the set of these recordings I have on compact disc. But never before now have I been able to find them for audio download -- until now!!! Words cannot express how thrilled I am to listen to the Lord of the Rings on my iPod (and on my Kindle too!) Audible members who have never yet heard the saga read in its entirety, you are in for a very special treat indeed! In a whole new way will you enjoy the story you've read years ago and have seen transformed into the motion pictures. It'll be almost as if you're experiencing the story for the very first time.
"Perhaps my favorite narrator ever"
Yes, for sure. It was just a pleasure to listen to it. The narrator made it so captivating... Even though the book is of course from The Lord of The Rings series and wouldn't need further reasons to listen to.
Surprisingly the songs. I loved that the narrator managed to put into melody the songs on the book and actually sing them.
Elrond. Perhaps because of the contrast with the Elrond from the movies. Rob's voice for this character was lighter and melodious.
If I could, I would, but it's a bit too long for me to listen in one sitting :)
"Greatest Book, with the finest reading"
The audiobook doesn't let you skip or skim the songs (or the whole Tom Bombadil section); the result is that you experience the book as Tolkien intended it.
Rob Inglis's reading is superb on general principles - he distinguishes characters well and interprets them beautifully. But the best surprise is the authenticity and quality of his rendering of Tolkien's many songs. Heroic when that's appropriate; funny or moving or spiritual by turns, this is an effect you can't produce for yourself in a silent reading. (And Tolkien heard and authorized some of Inglis's tunes.)
"A Classic Done Right"
This book marks the beginning of Frodo the Hobbit's quest to resolve the question of the Ring of Power which hangs over the fate of Middle Earth like a menacing cloud. I read this book over 40 years ago and it has headed up (together with the others in the trilogy) my list of books to be stranded on a desert island with ever since.
Although the fantasy genre predates The Lord of the Rings, it is no exaggeration to say that Tolkien's books inspired the tsunami of fantasy fiction which is with us even today. More than once, I have read some particularly dreadful specimen of the same and thought to myself that J.R.R. Tolkien has a lot to answer for (tongue-in-cheek) but his genius speaks for itself and is recognized today. When I was in college, stating that The Lord of the Rings was a great work of fiction elicited (from my English professors) stares of incomprehension from some and mild contempt from others. As Norman Cantor has remarked, however, it is the reading public that determines whether a work is great or not and by that standard The Lord of the Rings is now a classic.
Rob Inglis is able to do the series full justice. Not only is he a superb narrator, but he can sing which is important in a work with such an emphasis on songs and music (not always the case.. sometimes I've cringed in sympathetic embarrassment as a narrator, competent in other respects, attempted to sing or chant his/her way through a song with dismal results).
In short, you can't go wrong with this series, particularly if you like stories about quests or knightly adventures. There's very little in the way of boy-girl romance however and no sex so readers who like plenty of that in their fiction may want to look elsewhere.
"A PURE Classic!!!!"
This is the best! Rob Ingles is excellent. His performance is as if JRR Tolkien was reading it himself.
Enjoyed the entire story and narration.
I have listened to The Hobbitt - also highly recommend,
"The story than which there is no greater"
This is by far the most exciting, most literate, most frightening, most elevating, most imaginative, most humane story ever written.If you have only seen the film, well, too bad. All that remains to be said is that Rob Inglis' narration is masterful.If you have only one credit, use it here.
"Finally Audible got it. What a great story!"
It is a timeless classic. So much more here than the movies (still great) can get into. You get such deeper insight into the characters. It can be a bit more whimsical than the movies, if that is your only exposure to this story. Great narrator.
Sam is still the unsung hero.
There are a lot of different characters in this book, and Inglis does a great job at keeping them separate.
There were times that it drug a little long, but over all it was great.
Worth the credit.
Say something about yourself!
"...no knowing where you might be swept off to."
Having listened to the entire series starting with The Hobbit, and continuing through The Lord of the Rings series, it is difficult to review each book only on its own merit, as they are each part of grand story. Truly an example of the sum being greater than its parts.
Bilbo's part in the tale of the one ring is over, and Frodo's begins. There is quite a bit in the books that the films left out, that add so much to the story. Characters that are far older than Sauron, Gandalf and Elrond. They have been largely forgotten by the realms in Middle Earth, but still have their parts to play (for good or ill) in the Fellowship's battle against the forces of Sauron .
Please indulge yourself and experience the complete unabridged performance of the beginning of the LOTR trilogy. Rob Inglis does an admirable job with both the narration and the songs. As tempting as it might be to skip over some of the songs, they do contain nuggets of information that hep to more completely flesh out the storyline.
"Finally. The Hobbit and LOTR Unabridged on Audible"
Well, first, I would like to both thank Audible for finally making this available, and alternately curse them for doing so at a time when they're making so many other great books available (Gardens of the Moon, for one). Needless to say, all others will have to wait until I'm done listening to these.
Second, I have to admit that I've just started listening to it, but so far, I must say that I'm entirely impressed by Mr. Inglis' reading. Nice, clear voice, good differentiation of the different characters.
Third, like many others, I read "The Hobbit" and this trilogy as a pre-teenager about 30 years ago. I loved it. I honestly don't think you can consider yourself a fantasy fan if you haven't read these books. They are, simply put, amazing. I eagerly watched all the movies and was very impressed with those as well. Except for "The Hobbit", of course. Now, I finally have a chance to listen to them in audio, and unabridged!
Again, thank you Audible... now, if you could just get "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" by Tad Williams, I'd be even happier!
"Good book, bad narrating."
I like this story. There is a reason it's a classic. I can't listen to this without shudders every sentence. The narrator keeps doing those awful inhales right on the microphone.
It's hard to listen to.

I have a slight oversupply but it seems to have made BF easier for me. I only pump 2-3 times a day and get an extra 2-4oz each time, so I don't think its an OS that is out of hand. Having the OS makes my flow faster which my LO (6 weeks) definately prefers (she fusses with a slow flow and between let-downs), and it also makes the feedings a little shorter which has been nice going from 50mins to 25mins. She also seems to be sleeping better and longer at night (usually one 4-5hr stretch between feeds). She hasnt been gassy and her stools are not green. I do feel full between feedings, especially at night/mornings, which I know I'm not supposed to feel anymore, but I kinda like have the OS better than the way things were a week ago (slow flow, fussy baby, realllly long feedings).
How bad is it to keep a slight OS on purpose? I'm thinking of just continuing to pump and extra 2-3x/day to keep it. I know this could risk infection, but I think I'm ok if I keep it mild. Has anyone else done this? Is it a really bad idea?

Every child, at some point or another, feels the burden of living up to his or her father's accomplishments. But what if your dad was somebody famous?
It's one thing to want to reach or exceed milestones your parents reached in getting an education, buying your first house, having children and having a successful career. Now, imagine the pressure if your dad was a sports legend, a beloved Hollywood icon or a Grammy-award winning singer?
You really couldn't blame a child if they looked at that and said, "No, thank you," choosing instead to follow their own career path and make a mark in a different field. But some famous children embraced their father's world and sought to, if not surpass, at least show they were their equals.
With Father's Day just around the corner, join us for a look at famous progenies who did their celebrity fathers proud.
Stephen King and Joe Hill
Many a dad has delighted in telling spooky campfire stories by the light of the campfire.
While it's doubtful Stephen King spun tales of child-eating clowns, murderous innkeepers and rabid St. Bernards for his two sons during distant Maine summers, he nevertheless made a lasting impression.
King's older son, Joseph Hillstrom King, began writing in 1997, taking the pen name Joe Hill in order to be judged apart from his literary last name. He's proved himself a success too, earning several awards for a collection of stories and his debut novel, "Heart Shaped Box," before his cover was blown in 2007.
Owen King, King's younger son, published his own collection of stories in 2005.
Hill also co-wrote the 2009 novella "Throttle" with his father. But that wasn't the first time they had worked together. At age 10, Joe appeared in the 1982 film "Creepshow," co-starring and written by his dad.
The family that scares together, stays together, right?
Julio and Enrique Iglesias
Julio Iglesias may be best known as Willie Nelson's duet partner on the cheesy '80s love song "To All the Girls I Loved Before," but the Spanish singer is so much more than that.
The Grammy winner has sold more than 300 million records worldwide in 14 languages and has released 77 albums. Oh, and he also fathered fellow Grammy winner Enrique Iglesias.
Despite his famous last name, Enrique was reluctant to ride his father's coattails from the very beginning. Enlisting the help of a family friend, he landed his first record deal by promoting demo tracks under the name "Enrique Martinez."
Nearly 20 years later, the rest is history. He's since sold 58 million albums worldwide, placing five songs in the Billboard Hot 100 top five singles, including the crossover hits "Bailamos," "Be With You" and "Hero," and holds the record for producing 22 No. 1 Spanish-language singles on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks.
Bobby and Brett Hull
Die-hard fans can easily recite the names of sports' greatest father-son combos, including baseball's Griffeys and Bondses, basketball's Barrys and Hills and football's Mannings, to name a few.
But none of pairings quite reach the level of hockey's Bobby and Brett Hull.
Brett's 2009 Hockey Hall of Fame induction made "The Golden Jet" and "The Golden Brett" just the second father-son player combo to receive that honor across the four major pro sports (after fellow NHL legends Lester and Lynn Patrick.)
Also the only father-son MVP winners in any sport, the Hulls each won Stanley Cup titles, Bobby in 1961 (Chicago Blackhawks) and Brett in 1999 (Dallas Stars) and 2002 (Detroit Red Wings.)
When Brett began his career, few expected he would approach his father's 16-season career goals total of 610. Brett, however, would go on to score 741 regular season goals, good for third all-time in the NHL, before retiring in 2005.
Henry, Peter and Jane Fonda
Hollywood is full of famous father-child combos, including Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Kirk and Michael Douglas and Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie.

Tim's Baseball Log
The offseason has been pretty quiet over here at Cook & Son Bats' Blog. But I have received a few comments lately about "my book." It is not your ordinary book, and I haven't really discussed it much (if at all) on the blog. So now seems as good a time as any to explain a little bit about "The Baseball Log":
Pictured above, that is Tim's (the original) Baseball Log in the middle and Kellan's and my Baseball Logs on either side.
Tim was born in early 2006. In October 2005, I was eagerly awaiting his birth when my wife's grandmother passed away. We had to drive down to Virginia for her services. My wife stayed with her family for a few more days, but I had to head back to Pennsylvania for work. Whenever I am on a long drive alone I do a lot of thinking. On my drive home, I did a lot of thinking about all the fun times I expected to have with Tim going to baseball games in the future. And I thought a lot about all of the great times I shared with family and friends at the Kingdome watching the Mariners while I was growing up.
Growing up in the suburbs of Seattle, I attended between 10-30 Mariners games a year while I was growing up. I have a lot of very specific memories of those games: Ken Griffey, Jr. breaking his arm making a miraclous catch in deep RCF, Game 1 of the 1995 ALCS, catching my only two live game foul balls, seeing Bo Jackson hit two homeruns in a game, Griffey's 8-game homerun streak, Randy Johnson's 19 strikeout performance featuring a monster bomb by Mark McGwire, Mike Greenwell singlehandedly beating the Mariners with a 9-RBI performance, a fan running out to CF to ask for Kirby Puckett's autographs during a game, Nolan Ryan giving up a leadoff hit to Harold Reynolds and then pitching a complete game 1-hitter, and temporarily giving up on the M's and starting to leave a game against the Yankees in late 1995 but running back into the field level seats in time to watch Griffey blast a monster game-winning homerun.
But for each of those specific memories, there are 10 games or more of which I have absolutely no memory.
As I drove, an unanswerable question came to mind: "What is the Mariners record in the games I have attended?"
I have no clue and no way of figuring out the answer.
I needed to make sure my son didn't suffer the same fate. I wanted to make amazing baseball memories with him…and actually remember ALL OF THEM! And in that moment while dwelling on that unanswerable question, I invented the answer: The Baseball Log!
I'm good at tinkering and making stuff. But I'd never made a book. It took a lot of thought and planning. I determined what I wanted to be included in The Baseball Log, and then I figured out how to make it. I started with fancy resume paper, a thin slice of wood, a side of leather (that I had used to make a baseball glove), some glue, a needle and thread, a leather stamping set, and a computer and printer. I put it all togther…
…and I made Tim's one-of-a-kind Baseball Log:
For more than a year, Tim owned the only Baseball Log. But I started thinking that other people out there might like a Baseball Log of their own. So I did some research about online self-publishing companies. I decided on "eBookstand Publishing." I did some revising and reformatting. And, boom: the "commercial" version of The Baseball Log was born. I dedicated the book to the biggest baseball inspirations of my life at the time:
FYI, if I had decided to add one more item to that list, it would have been "Spike Owen." My original favorite player of all-time. Curse you Red Sox for stealing my guy!
Anyway, here are the basics of The Baseball Log. The overwhelming majority of the book is simply page after page after page after page of empty boxes for the owner to fill in their own baseball memories. Here is a look at the first page of Tim's Baseball Log:
As you can see, it has spaces for the date, line score info, site of the game, companions with whom you attended the game, and game notes.
I forget the specific number, but I think the commercial version of The Baseball Log has room to record approximately 1,000 games. Here is a look at a random page of my Baseball Log, which includes Griffey's 601st homerun, Felix Hernandez's grand slam off of Johan Santana, and the first game of the First Annual Cook Grandfather-Father-Son Baseball Roadtrip:
NOTE: The 3-4 games listed on that page are the last two games that I have attended without Tim accompanying me.
Of course, the Baseball Log has a couple pages for the owner to record his or her favorite team's (hopefully, the Mariners) record in games he or she attends:
The top book in that picture is Tim's Baseball Log, the middle one is mine (you can see I have attended two more Mariners games than Tim since he was born…and the Mariners won both of them), and the bottom book is Kellan's (poor guy has only seen 1 Mariners win so far!)
I made one upgrade that I really like in the commercial version of the Baseball Log. Tim's book has pages for recording when Tim has seen each team play a game. I reformatted those original pages into the "Touch 'em All Checklist" where the owner of the book can record the date of the first home and away game for each team he has seen. Below, you can see that I (and Tim) have seen every MLB team play a road game, and every team except the Royals, Cardinals and Rockies play a home game…
…we will complete this list in May 2012!
There are pages to record Hall of Famers who you have seen play in person…
…once some of the players Tim has seen play retire and are inducted into the Hall of Fame, he will be able to reference the relevant games by page number in the "Memorable Games" column.
I had one more idea that has never panned out…but I still love it. My hope was that fan assistance office or front office receptionists at the various MLB stadiums would have "received" stamps that they use to stamp incoming mail. If so, my plan was to get our Baseball Log's stamped like passports…
…to date, I have yet to find any MLB stadium that had a stamp for our books. I have discussed this with a guy in the Phillies front office and he loved the stadium passport idea. Still, nothing has come of it. But wouldn't that be great to be able to get a stamp at each stadium you visit listing the name of the team/stadium with the date included? I'd love that.
The Baseball Log also has spaces to record your favorite players by year, and a bunch of blank pages at the back for autographs (although we have never attempted to have anyone sign our Baseball Logs).
I'll share one last picture with you. When I self-published the book, I decided to make it a sturdy hard backed book — just like Tim's Baseball Log — so it could (hopefully) endure a lifetime of use. Because it is a hardback, I got to design a dust jacket. As shown in the top picture, I used a baseball — one I snagged at the Kingdome — and I did some editing to remove the normal writing on the baseball and replaced it with "BASEBALL LOG." Here is a picture of the actual baseball that is pictured on the front cover:
I just realized tonight when I took this picture that I took the cover photo of the baseball on July 16, 2007 — exactly three years to the date before Kellan was born. Awesome! Makes me feel that Kellan had a little influence on the book years before he was born.
So, there you go: The Baseball Log.
It is not for everyone. In fact, it is not for most people. Even most dedicated fans. But for the right person, it can be really awesome.
If you happen to be one of the very few people out there who have purchased your very own Baseball Log, I hope you are really enjoying it.

Hello Todd,
I have been reading a lot of your blog learning about spring training in Peoria, I'm planning my first trip down there from Seattle this year! One question that I think you can answer, do players practice in the morning once the spring season starts? I wanted to make the trip down while they were just practicing, but I don't know if that's going to be possible now, but I'd still like to see them practice.
This is a great blog, I have really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear you have been enjoying the blog. Thanks for stopping by. You pose a good question about spring training. The answer is "Yes," but it is not as good as the practices before games start. In my opinion, the best possible time to go to spring training (if watching the practices is your goal) is to go the very first week that the position players report. The Mariners have 2.5 "Major League" practice fields and 4 minor "Minor League" practices fields. During the first week of full squad work outs, it is just the Major League camp and they primarily use the 4 minor league fields — and those are the best fields from the "fan" perspective. There is a big square of grass open to the public and home plate of each fo the 4 minor league fields is located at the four points of the square. So you can easily go from field to field watching all kinds of great training action. Plus, the Major Leaguers regularly walk through the public grass as they rotate from field to field. Once the minor leaguers arrive and games begin, the minor leaguers take over the 4 minor league fields and Major Leaguers retreat to the Major League fields, which in my opinion are not quite as ideal for the fans. When games are going on, the major league training sessions may be scaled back and they may not include all of the players every day. Still, its pretty darn cool. The minor league camp is actually quite fun to watch too…and you have the chance to see some very informal minor league games (both intra-squad and against other MLB teams) on the minor league fields.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Bought one for daughter that was just born…enjoy your blog:)
Congrats on the baby! Hope the book helps you perserve some great father-daughter memories.
The book is a fantastic idea! Putting everything on the Internet is ok but having the book in hand is much better.
Thanks. If you get the bood, I hope you enjoy it! Checked out your blog. Looking good. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I agree. The internet and computers can crash. But this book will always be sitting on the shelf.
Hi Todd,
Been following the blog for a while and wanted to ask you a question. I'm looking at going to a game on June 10th in Seattle. What in your opinion is the best place to sit at Safeco to watch the game? Also what food do I absolutely have to get from the game? This will be my first time ever going to Seattle so if you have any other ideas on what to do while there it is greatly appreciated. I'll be flying into Seattle probably late that Saturday and leaving out Monday so I'll be a little pressed for time. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated from you.

Makeup Haul: Inglot, Clio, BeautySoClean, Halloween Makeup
When was the last time I did a post on a makeup haul? Let me see…. Hurk! My Okinawa trip in April! That's 8 months ago!
Obviously it's not because I haven't bought any new makeup from then till now (how is that possible?!), it's more like my postings cannot keep up with the speed of purchasing. HAHAHA
A couple of weeks ago my friends proposed going to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and I was SO excited to go because I wanted to get me some Inglot! I've been dying to get my hands on Ingot products since it opened a store in City Square in March! The City Square branch is the third store in Malaysia, with the other two in Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
When we reached City Square after lunch, I told my two friends, who're both guys, to go get some coffee and give me an hour. Just one hour! Lol! And then I ran into the store and had a swatch feast.
This was the second batch, I'd already wiped off the first batch and without realizing, used up the entire arm again. HAHA! The entire arm was covered, front to back, top to tips.
The gel liners are AWESOME! So very pretty and pigmented and smooth and creammmyyy!!! And I love that they come in bright, happy colors! I got 82, 77, 72, 87.
I also got 4 eyeshadows: AMC Shine 30, AMC Shine 15, AMC 59, and Matte 385. And 1 lipstick (231) and 1 lip liner (60).
I went on a week day so there were very few people in the mall, must less the Ingot store, so I had plenty of space to move around and had very attentive service from the MUA.

NORTHFIELD A Northfield man was sentenced Monday to just over eight years in federal prison for possessing child pornography.
Robert Gray, 37, was sentenced to 97 months followed by 10 years of supervised release. District Court Judge William K. Sessions also ordered him to complete sex offender treatment.
According to court records, a search of Grays home Feb. 24 led to the seizure of two computers Gray used. More than 1,000 images and many videos containing child pornography were found on the computers, according to officials.
Gray was indicted by a federal grand jury in March and pleaded guilty in September.
Robert Gray has already demonstrated that he poses a threat to the most vulnerable members of our communities, our children, said Bruce M. Foucart, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, in a news release. Its a horrifying fact that by trading child pornography on the Internet, offenders like Gray effectively sentence those depicted to a lifetime of victimization.
