The #5 Starters…Mitre and Gaudin! I Miss You!
Sergio Mitre and Chad Gaudin
Yankee fans were unsure about these two. Sergio Mitre was coming off Tommy John Surgery, and Chad Gaudin had 10 losses with the Padres before coming to the Yanks. Both faced criticism at times, but in reality, they did their jobs. They pitched when they had to, and threw quality innings. They were no Sabathia, but they were good enough. I miss Sergio (♥) and Chad.
I remember seeing Sergio pitch in his first game as a Yankee. It was against the Orioles. Just something about him…I don't even know…I just loved him. Like, really. I fell legit in love with him. From the minute I saw him, I was a fan.
When I first saw Mitre, my jaw dropped because he was friggin' sexy. When I first saw Gaudin, my jaw dropped because he was friggin' terrifying! The first time I saw him was in a picture. And he had the freakiest beard! A GIANT RED COATEE!!!
What a difference between he and Mitre! I couldn't understand why the Yankees got Gaudin. His record was 5-10 at the time, and his ERA was somewhere around 5. But as it turned out, the Yankees won every game Gaudin started! I grew to love Gaudin. See, when a man becomes a Yankee, and I scan that man over with my eyes, I only see good things. To tell you the truth, Gaudin looked pretty darn good in Yankee pinstripes himself!
Lookin' good.
There is one day that I will never forget. It was Saturday, August 29th, Yankees vs White Sox. It was Mitre's turn to pitch, and at this time most people were fed up with Mitre. They were saying how he stank and should be traded, or sent somewhere else. But I always believed in Mitre. No matter what he did the start before, I always had a positive attitude for him in his next start. The 29th was no different. But this time, Mitre was magical. He was right on. Sergio Mitre was pitching a perfect game!!! I was so proud of him. He went 4 and 1/3 innings perfectly. Even though the perfecto was over, Mitre was still dealing. But in the 6th, tragedy struck. Mitre was hit square in the forearm by a line drive, which sent me into hysterics. Girardi then took him out, out of this game. It was the game of his life, ended too soon. The crowed gave him a lovely ovation, and so did I as I held back tears. Mitre belonged.
Chad Gaudin proved to be reliable for the Yankees time and time again. He even made it onto the postseason roster! Imagine how that must have felt: Gaudin, a player not many people knew about with sub-par numbers, joined the Yankees halfway through the season, and was dominant enough to make the postseason roster. Even though he didn't see much action in the playoffs, Gaudin was important. He was available either to start, or to relief. He was a luxury that the Yankees didn't need to utilize. But it was nice to have him there, just in case they did.
I miss both these guys. But I don't think I have to worry about them this offseason anymore. The Yankees signed Mitre and Gaudin for next year! I was overjoyed when I heard that. Sergio Mitre and Chad Gaudin are both here to stay! Hooray!
Sergio, Chad, thank you both for helping my Yanks this year. I'm glad that you will be back. Enjoy the offseason, have a holly-jolly Christmas, and I'll see you next year! I LOVE YOU!!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family, hope you have fun and enjoy…:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Hey, I was randomly checking out some blogs and I stumbled across yours. I have to say it's really awesome and I will be sure to stop by often. Have a happy holiday season, and congrats on getting Javy Vazquez, he should do you guys well.
I sorta kinda don't miss Chad Gudain🙂 It was terrible to watch him when he was with the Padres. But glad to hear that he's doing a great job now. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful one with your family!
I have known Chad for a while, and during the last series against the Rays he came over and we talked about the different feeling of the Yankee clubhouse in comparision to the 2007 Rays locker room when Chad was here.
He has always been a guy I wanted to see play great in the league.
You know he got the attention of a scout by protraying a waiter in a restaurant and his agent was chatting with a scout about how anyone around them could be a potential player.
Chad went to the table and the agent pointed to him and asked a few questions, then offered a bet to the scout Chad could pitch.
He got an offer to play baseball 30 days later.
True Louisiana story.

Two fundraisers planned to benefit Valley toddler
February 14, 2014
The Genoa Bar and Flight Restaurant are hosting two fundraisers tonight and Sunday to benefit 3-year-old Olivia Simmons whose father died Jan. 29.
Buk Taco and friends are performing live starting at 7:30 p.m. at Genoa Bar.
"I've known Donnie for years, and everybody wanted to do something for Olivia," Bar owner Willie Webb said. "It's going to be an open mic night with bands from all over the Valley who knew Donnie playing all night."
The second fundraiser is a more family-friendly a spaghetti feed 2-8 p.m. Sunday at the Flight Restaurant with all proceeds going to the Olivia fund.
There will also be live music from local bands.
The spaghetti dinner costs $10, and all donations are welcome.
A bank account is set up at Wells Fargo called "The Olivia K. Simmons Donation Fund " account No. 7435874438. This is an interest bearing trust fund for Olivia when she turns 18 years old.
For more information, call Webb at 782-3870.

Skidmore-Tynan and John Paul II both went winless in 2013.
The two meet on Friday in the season opener.
Second-year Bobcat coach John Livas is hoping that it is his team that will snap the losing skid.
"We talked about it last week, and that's one of the things I told the kids, 'Hey, we're ready to get that first victory,'" Livas said. "The kids are ready. I'm ready as a head coach.
"Hopefully, we're going to come out with that 'W' at the end of the night."
To put the skid to rest, the Bobcats will have to go through a team eerily similar to them.
John Paul was stacked with underclassmen during the 2013 winless campaign, which is why 14 starters return this year.
And like S-T, the Centurions like the ground-and-pound style.
"It's a variation of the wing-T. They'll line up a wing to one side and kind of spread you out on the other side," Livas said about JP's offense. "It's the same principles (as us). They're going to try to trap and sweep, and they're going to boot and throw the ball off of that formation.
"We're obviously familiar with the style of offense."
John Paul's offense, called the West Coast wing-T by second-year coach Mario Vasquez, has a hint of passing in it, but Livas thinks his defense is ready for just about anything.
"We're ready. What we've told the kids is that if you just trust your read, and read what you're supposed to read, and do your techniques, we're going to be fine."
John Michael Gonzalez will call the signals in the Centurions' new-look offense.
"He's very athletic," Livas said about Gonzalez. "When you have a quarterback who is athletic back there, you have to remember that he becomes a threat.
"Not only can he run the ball, he can throw the ball as well."
Returning tailback Andrew Serna will be a big part of the JP's offense as well.
"I think the same as the quarterback," said Livas. "He's pretty fast, shifty. Pretty quick little kid.
"It's just like anything else; we're going to have to find ways to stop him."
For the Bobcats, getting off the schneid in Week 1 could set the table for big things.
"For us, (it would give us) confidence," Livas said. "That's what we need. I've always believed that ... success breeds success.
"Our kids just need to believe, and they need confidence."

July 31, 2013 —
HARRISBURG, PA — Senate Democratic Leader Jay Costa released the following statement concerning the death of former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, who died on July 28.
"Pennsylvania has been blessed with many governors of outstanding ability and skill and, although his government service ended many years ago, I believe Governor Scranton was one of our most effective executives. His record of public service as governor and in various capacities on the national level is impressive. He serves as a role model for others who aspire to a life of public service.
"Pennsylvania, and our nation, are better places because of Governor Scranton. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Scranton family today as they mourn the loss of the former governor."
Scranton was elected as governor of Pennsylvania in 1962, and he also served in the U.S House and served as ambassador to the United Nations.

GOP Must Not Cave to the Bully on His Sequestration
President Obama's demagoguery and fear-mongering on his sequester cuts are breathtaking, even for him. Lest you think I am engaging in hyperbole, let me give you the dictionary definition of a demagogue.
One definition is "a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument."
Obama's ordinary MO is to stir people against one another, to stoke the flames of envy among some against others in lieu of rational argument to rally support for his causes.
Obama has had four years to try his ideas. They have all failed, in every category. His stimulus plan to spend nearly $1 trillion of borrowed money to jump-start the economy was a colossal, unconscionable waste of money we didn't have and not only didn't work as promised but probably stalled the private sector's efforts to recover. He remains defiantly unrepentant in the face of his repeated reckless green policy failures.
Liberal economists and ideologues — in some cases, there's little difference — cling fast to the myth that Obama's gutting of the private sector to chase public money after projects for which there was no demand actually helped the economy. But they can't prove their assertion that the economy would have been worse but for the stimulus any more than one can prove a negative. But objective evidence says otherwise: Obama has presided over the worst recovery in 50 years.
But those who control the writing of history (and the other disciplines, such as economics, that have been thoroughly politicized in modern academia) have an advantage in controlling the present. Liberal academic revisionists have firmly planted in our history and economic texts the myth that FDR's big-government policies brought us out of the Great Depression. Only recently have a number of modern historians and authors set the record straight: His policies exacerbated and prolonged the Depression. Yet Obama persists in touting his own big-government prescriptions, demanding we ignore history and his own record.
Obama has had four years to get the economy moving, and our extraordinarily high level of unemployment is just as high as it was when he took office and, when you consider the record numbers of people leaving the workforce, is much worse than the numbers indicate. Yet he still refuses to accept any responsibility for his own failures.
Obama will not offer any plan to reduce spending, especially entitlements. He just keeps going back to his crusade against the rich, from whom he's already extracted a higher tax rate and eliminated personal exemptions and deductions. He promised he wanted a balanced approach, but he refuses to balance his punitive tax hikes with spending cuts and entitlement reform. Even former Sen. Alan Simpson said that unless Obama gets serious about entitlements, he will have a failed presidency.
But Obama and his Democratic senators will not pass a budget, and they will not participate in entitlement reform. Instead, Obama is back railing against the Republicans for their alleged unwillingness to further tax the rich, whom they have already reluctantly agreed to discriminatorily tax.
Obama tells us that Republicans are insisting on keeping his brainchild — the sequestration — in place to avoid further taxing the rich. This is the same sequestration he promised to support; he even threatened to veto efforts to remove it. Now he complains about its draconian cuts — not about cuts to the military but about cuts to his sacred domestic programs. But in fact, even with the sequester cuts, we will be spending more in fiscal year 2013 than we have in any other fiscal year in American history, save 2011. He is simply misleading the public because he wants to further punish the rich — even if it means holding hostage our military and accelerating the nation's imminent bankruptcy.
Obama is dreadfully wrong on both sides of the fiscal equation. Economic growth does not depend on government spending, which has the opposite effect because it sucks the wind out of the private sector; and you balance the budget not by taxing the rich but by drastically cutting spending and reforming entitlements.
Obama and his ilk mock Republicans for their "trickledown" economics, but Obama is the quintessential proponent of his own trickledown economics. As to the private sector and entrepreneurship, he is an atheist. He believes that only he and his central planners in the omniscient federal government can cause economic growth and that from that high mountain of government largesse will trickle down economic activity for the ignorant, impotent private sector and the economy at large.
The sequestration, as House Speaker John Boehner has said, is an ugly way to cut spending and is not good for our national defense. But if we don't start cutting fast (and the sequester is more a reduction in the rate of spending increases than it is a cut), we won't have the money to support a military at all, much less anything else. Time to stop playing games with the nation's very viability and our children's future. The Republicans must hold to their guns this time.

Program designed to deter crime
The director of the Community Corrections program, Matt Bennett, discussed a new program with the Barbour County Commission Wednesday, one designed to offer a helping hand to those needing an opportunity to improve their lives.
The program is set to begin Feb. 5, and offers classes to those who qualify. Qualifying persons must be a parent, be incarcerated or have a low income within a certain range below poverty. The idea behind the program is to help families, Bennett said.
Referrals for the program can come through Community Corrections, probation, parole, the Family Resource Network or the Department of Health and Human Resources.
"It's going to be something that can benefit the whole community," Bennett said.
The program offers a new start with the hope that those who benefit will become less likely to commit crime. Bennett said some might be less likely to repeat their offense if they are able to get a job to be able to support their families. Those who participate could choose a variety of different classes and receive job assistance in the area after completing the classes. As an incentive for employers, the program offers to pay the first two months of salary so that the job seeker is more likely to be given a chance.
"The whole meaning of this is to try to give people the tools to get their lives back on track," Bennett said.
Also during the meeting:
Sheriff John Hawkins said that he was contacted by Congressman David McKinley, R-W.Va., about a Second Amendment "round table" discussion that McKinley wants to have with some officials in Barbour County. The Sheriff's Department will host the discussion at 10:30 a.m., Jan. 30 in the conference center at the Day Report Center.
After tabling board appointments at an earlier January meeting, commissioners revisited the matter and appointed nine people to the Economic Development Authority board, filling two vacant positions. The appointments include Mike Isner, Tim Ferguson, Jeff Rogers, Ron Channell, Josh Krepsel, Phil Hart, Joe Super and two men who filled the vacancies, Ron Redman Phillips and Larry Jett.
Commissioners also appointed Michael Johnson to the Airport Authority, Roberta Keener to the Central-Barbour Public Service District and Barbara Barkley to the Barbour County Health Department.
Upon the request of Prosecuting Attorney Leckta Poling, commissioners agreed that Mary McCullough will be hired as a contracted paralegal to assist with orders, legal research, managing cases and other office duties. Also under personnel, commissioners approved that the Sheriff's Department advertise for a part-time administrative assistant to replace Misty Poling after her resignation. Misty Poling will work through Feb. 24. Hawkins said he wants to hire someone for the position while she is still available to help train them. Misty Poling was present at the meeting, but said she did not want to publicize her reason for resigning.

The geologic record suggests volcanic activity in what is now North Carolina primarily occurred in two phases of the middle Proterozoic era, between 850 and 500 million years ago, first while the ancient North American and Euro-African plates were moving apart, then while these same plates were colliding. During the first phase, 840 to 800 million years ago, eruptions occurred under the ancient Iapetus Sea and on land. Volcanic ash and lava flows deposited underwater and interbedded with layers of mud and sand are now part of the Ashe Formation stretching from Ashe and Watauga Counties in North Carolina into Franklin County, Va. The first eruptions on land occurred about 820 million years ago on the Piedmont Terrane, along the present North Carolina-Virginia border in the environs of Mount Rogers. These eruptions continued for at least 220 million years and deposited some 3,000 meters of volcanic and sedimentary rock.
The second phase of volcanic activity, beginning around 750 million years ago and lasting more than 300 million years, occurred along an arc of island volcanoes on the Avalon Terrane, a collision zone between the Iapetus Sea and the Theic-Rheic Ocean. Intense folding and metamorphism have destroyed most evidence of these eruptions, but the rocks created are present in the Carolina State Belt stretching southward through the midsection of the state. The eastern boundary of the belt is undetermined as it lies beneath the Coastal Plain, while the western boundary roughly passes near Greensboro, Thomasville, Lexington, Salisbury, Charlotte, and into South Carolina. Remnant volcanic necks and masses of igneous rock are evident in Orange and Chatham Counties, suggesting an early center of volcanic activity near Chapel Hill, dated at around 700 million years old, and near Hillsborough, dated at about 650 million years old.
Volcanic eruptions may have occurred during the middle Eocene epoch, about 47 million years ago, in the northern and western regions of the state, but erosion has removed all cones or other evidence of such activity. Also, volcanic ash deposits (bentonite) in the Castle Hayne Formation in the Coastal Plain are not believed to be native to the region, but possibly deposited by winds from a volcanic center in Virginia or from eruptions forming the island of Bermuda. There are no known active volcanoes in North Carolina today despite some geologic instability on the coast.

Hi Susan,
Hi Susan,
Thanks for visiting this article on NCpedia and taking a minute to ask your question. And that's a really good question!
There are a number of government resources that you may want to start with for both historic and current volcanic and seismic activity in the U.S.
- U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) website -- Here is the link to their NC page on their website http://www.usgs.gov/state/state.asp?State=NC
- USGS list (partial) of US volcanoes -- http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/about/volcanoes/volcanolist.php
- Nationalatlas.gov -- http://www.nationalatlas.gov/mld/volcanx.html
You may also want to contact our reference staff here at the Government & Heritage Library (or the reference staff at your local public library). They can help you get started in your research. Here's the link to their contact information on our website http://statelibrary.ncdcr.gov/contact.html
A copy of this email is also being sent to the email address provided with your comment.
Good luck in your research!
Kelly Agan, NCpedia Staff
Volcanic ash is very evident
Volcanic ash is very evident if one digs down 10-30' south of Harrisburg. Also dikes and sills have been captured in pictures from pits dug. Volcanic bombs are being found near the surface. I would guess that there was more ancient volcanic activity here than officially accounted for.

Mr. Miracle, Andre Ethier: The King of Walk-Offs!
Wednesday night September 15 2009 , in the bottom of the 13th inning, Andre Ethier did it again! He had yet another walk-off homerun! That is Ethier's 4th walk-off homerun and 6th walk-off this year!!.
This is Vin Scully's call of that walk-off homerun
" Fastball.. High drive into deep right! Back goes Jones! To the wall! Is gone!"
—Pause by Vinny while you see Ethier round the bases and the players rush to mob him and congratulate him while the crowd is going crazy and in the background you hear I Love LA _the victory song for the Dodgers.
Vin Scully:
"Andre Ethier who could better be known as Mr. Miracle comes up with a walk-off homerun" "And the Dodgers hang on and beat the last place Pirates 5-4. A Little bit a magic…"
Thank you Mr. Scully! I never get tired of seeing this at the stadium and coming home to watch the highlights!
I played it a few times and copied the link that Buz put in his blog http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
Here are Andre's Walk-offs, a total of 9 since last year. I have seen them all at Dodger Stadium!
Tuesday September 15, 2009 vs. the Pirates. Bottom of the 13th, two run walk-off Homerun off Dumatrait on Andre's 30th homerun.
Thursday August 6, 2009 vs Atlanta Botton of the 9th. 3 run walk-off homerun off of Rafael Soriano wtih Pierre & Furcal on base.
Monday June 29, 2009 vs Colorado. bottom of the 13th walk-off 2 RBI Homerun off of joe Peralta. Blake on base.
Thursday June 6, 2009 vs.Philadelphia Botton of the 12th Walk-off Homerun off Chad Durbin.
Friday June 5, 2009 vs. Philadelphia. Botton of the 9th. Walk-off Two run Double with the bases loaded against Lidge.
Saturday May 2, 2009 vs. San Diego. Walk-off single with the bases loaded off of Gregerson.

Wow. I didn't realize Andre had THAT many walkoffs. Incredible! He really has been clutch this season, and I can see why he's such a beloved Dodger. Thanks for the highlight reel!
How many walkoffs does Andre have again?
I lost count after the first 20!! jk jk😉
Great blog here Emma,
love the passion
and I love the love you and Andre share. (wink wink)
Ethier is very clutch, and will be a solid hitter for years to come.
He can only get better you know?😉
Ted's Take
WOOW! EMMA this is your best post ever. ANDRE is awsome and such a wonderful player and human being. I was actually at the game when he had his first carrier walk-off….it was great and wonderful. LOVE IT! And I hope MLB & the DODGERS give Andre what he deserves….HE SHOULD BE MVP!
I had fun going thru all his games where he had a walk-off.
Thanks! Andre is a great hitter and is being feared now by pitchers. I remember Wade Boggs used to eat chicken before every game. Andre has chicken and peanut butter!
And oh yeah …ANDRE has crazy HAIR! LOL!
Thanks! I think I spent too much time reviewing those moments but It was fun. You should save that ticket of his first Walk-off and write on it "Andre's first walk-off!" I am going to look for mines too. Yes, Andre has crazy beautiful hair. I love it that Thome just messed his hair after the walk-off September 15. I call it "Shampoo de carino.".
Emma, Is this fella the poster child for fun in baseball or what? Look at the joy in his face.. it's awesome to watch it happen to such a great person. I can't wait to see him on the big stage of October!
Gotta admit, it's hard to not like a guy like Ethier. I'm glad he's settled in as well as he has. It's not easy to be a star in L.A. Just ask Brad Penny.
There is a poster from one of his many walk-offs that was give away. He is having so much fun ha? Oh, bring October on! I can't wait to see him too!
I was thinking about Penny today and what will happen at Dodger Stadium when he pitches Saturday. He will take some abuse after all he is JINT now and he hates the Dodgers. I might go to the visitor bullpen side and watch🙂
I guess my post never posted???? where did it go???
EMMA I still do have the ticket stubs. That game was also my kids first game at Dodgers Stadium. They had gone to a Dodgers vs. Angels game at Angels Stadium before. GREAT GAME!
And I love Andre's hair too! WILD!
And OH YEAH I forgot to re-type…ETHIERAHOLICS appreciate that you took your time to do the fun research. HAVE FUN AT TONIGHTS GAME….GOOOO DODGERS!
How long has Dodger Stadium been playing this in the 8th?
My goodness, all those happy pictures make ME happy!!!!!!! :] Andre is amazing, plus I love his hair, hehe! xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
Nice to see Casey having fun. He was a total pro and a good guy when he was in Cleveland. Nice post and good luck the rest of the way. http://ClevelandBaseball.mlblogs.com/
Wow, talk about coming through in the clutch! If he ever leaves L.A., maybe he could find a nice home here in Philly?
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Your posts got posted. Is that time warp problem where my response gets posted before yours. Is the mices inside the computer. Got to give them more cheese. Can't wait what magical moments await us at the Magic castle with Mr. Miracle and the rest of the Dodgers. Thanks!
I could not play what you posted. Could that be that song "Don't Stop Believing .." I wonder if what they posted about is true cause I heard he was at Dodger Spring Training getting an autograph.
Glad that posts makes you happy. I like looking at them too. He sure looks like he is having so much fun on them. All of us ETHIERHOLICS love him.
Yes, sorry. It's a video of the Journey song playing and Scully getting ready to do some dialog. I haven't noticed until recently that I'll hear that between commercial breaks on MLB.tv but I wondered how long they've been playing it.
Casey seems like such a nice guy. I got a chance to talk to him in Arizona. Some of us call him TMIMITW (the most interesting man in the world) because of his beard that makes him look like the guy from the Dos Equis bear commercial. Thanks!
No, no, no. Ethierholics would not be happy with that! BRW, did you notice two of those walk-offs were against the Phillies?🙂
That article is hilarious. Eat it, Steve Perry. Ahahaha.
I like the bits I can hear of the song on the video stream but of course I never go to the stadium. It probably will never reach Sweet Caroline status but I say keep it up.
It started late last year. Watch the video again and notice the guy mimicking singing that Journey song. He does a great job with exagerated mimicks. the crowd loves it. I saw him walking out of the stadium Wednesday. A lot of people recognize him. You read this right? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/09/15/SPU219M4EO.DTL right? Some are saying play it more often this weekend and some are saying they are tired of it and play something else.
LOL! yeah, the article is hilarious. Can you see the guy on Dodger vision? It is funny watching it at the stadium. Let's see what happens this weekend and if in fact Steve Perry will be in attendance. Game with Penny on Saturday is an early game on Fox. You know Vicente Padilla looks a litle like my brother Vic and he has been missing at games where Padilla pitches so our friends at the stadium keep joking with him about it. I should post a picture of my brother next time and see what others think. I hope he is not reading this.
Emma: Andre is a beast!!! I love him! I made a special cutie post…I think you might like it. -Virginia
With that many walk offs I am surprised the Yankees haven't tried to get their hands on him…he's definately a guy you want at the plate in the 9th…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
I love, love that special cutie post! All good choices!
NO NO NO! Andre can't be a Yankee! Did you noticed a couple of those walk-offs against the Phillies🙂.
For any local Dodger fan or Giant fan, this is a a nice exhibition at the Burbank library and the panel discussion should be fun to attend . I will be there.
Author Arnold Hano and broadcaster Ross Porter, who combined have produced over a century of distinguished work in their respective professions, will share their recollections of the Dodgers-Giants rivalry, from New York to the West Coast, in a very special evening presented by the Baseball Reliquary on Monday, September 21, 2009, at 7:00 pm, in the Burbank Central Library Auditorium, 110 N. Glenoaks Blvd., Burbank, California. The discussion, which will be moderated by Jean Hastings Ardell, is free of charge and open to the public.
Emma: I'm glad you enjoyed that cutie post. A lot of people (mostly female) love those posts. I will try to do one on every Yankee off day. It makes readers happy, and that's what I'm all about.🙂
Emma, Andre Ethier is my absolute favorite Dodger… well, being a Rockies fan… he's kind of the only Dodger I like.😉 But wow, I had no idea he had so many walk offs!! It's great to have a player like that!
ETHIERHOLICS! That is the funniest thing I have heard all weekend, thanks for sharing that :] Oh, I'm not sure if anyone has answered your questions or if I'm answering it correctly, but basically, just highlight the sentence or word you want to connect a link to, then go up to the edit bar (for the blog) and you'll see a little chain logo (I believe right by the picture logo). Then a prompt comes up to put your link in, click ok, and voila!! The highlighted area will be clickable to your link! I hope that makes sense! Let me know if it works for ya! xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
Glad you enjoyed Ethier. he is a much talented guy for his young age, and is so clutch. If he were an Indian I would completely worship him!! I wish we had someone on our team that could do that, we have lost 8 in a row. GOod luck with Eith and the Ethierholics!!😉
Thank you. Those kind of posts are always fun and for offdays it makes them nice. I wonder if there are any guys with a man-crush on any of those guys and if they would admit it. lol.
A lot of people are surprised that he has that many. Many players go without having one or maybe just one, but that that many. He sure is going to start walking more
The ETHIERHOLICS term started being used in the ITD (Insidethedodgers) blog. Don't remember exactly who started using it it and it fits so well. You can definetly hear more of the female fan base when Ethier comes to bat. Thank you so much for the instructions you posted. I am looking forward to using it! Thanks!!!
Thank you on behalf of all the ETHIERHOLICS!

First off, my daughter is formula supplemented with usually 2-4 ounces per day. She has always had breastmilk poops (yellowish, curdy, "whole grain mustard" poops), until today. She hadn't pooped for 4 days, which I understand can be normal at this age - 9 weeks - but it was green and thick with lots of mucus in it. She also hasn't had any unusually high amounts of formula lately, so I don't think that is the problem.
I've also been working really hard on upping my supply, so I've been giving each breast an equal amount of time, even if she's actively sucking I'll switch sides. If I feel she didn't empty it enough (which she usually does) then I'll pump for a few minutes, but I didn't think it has been all that necessary. Until now.
Is it possible that she hasn't been able to get enough hind milk because I'm encouraging her to feed on both breasts at each session, hence the green poop?
If so, how can she get the hindmilk without block feeding or letting a breast skip a meal? I thought I'd try pumping one breast while she fed on the other, but because they're so big (E's) it's hard, plus, the milk looked REALLY watery, and is not at all like the thick creamy milk I get from pumping at the end of a session. Would pumping the non nursed on breast make the milk fattier for the next session if I continued to do this anyway?
I knew she had tummy trouble when she would NOT fall asleep last night, and when she did, it was fitful at best. Sure enough, she strained and strained and had that ugly green poop. Nothing has changed much with her diet, re; formula vrs breastmilk (if anything, the formula has decreased over the past couple of weeks).
Can a green mucusy poop be an indication of something I ate, or, given our nursing pattern (equal time on each breast) is it more likely to be a formilk/hindmilk imbalance?

Today, Secretary Clinton delivered a message for Eid-ul-Fitr. The Secretary said:"Hello, and Eid Mubarak. I'm delighted to celebrate the end of Ramadan by wishing all of you a happy Eid. In 1996, my husband and I were privileged to host the first ever White House Eid celebration, which has now become a tradition. And this year, I hosted an Iftar at the State Department, with Muslims and non-Muslims attending. We hope that reinforces every year that all faiths have a home here in the United States.
For Muslims all over the world, Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of a holy month of fasting and prayer. This time of self-reflection reminds us that the values of Islam – charity, community, cooperation, compassion – are values which we hold dear as Americans and which have contributed so much to American culture. As President Obama said in Cairo, the United States seeks a new beginning with Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect. We know there is more that unites peoples of faith than divides us. So as Ramadan draws to a close, let us hold on to that spirit of community throughout the year to achieve our common goals of peace, prosperity, and stability. And I wish all of you a very happy year as well. Thank you."

While my country still wonders how to integrate immigrant which has lived in France for 60 years "immigrant-french-muslim-people-lived in france"... unfortunatly, i was born and raise in france and I feel like a foreigner. When I'm going to your country I feel like an american...
Shame on France. Watch and learn. Go US!
Thank you Mr President! Thank you Mrs Clinton!
Mr President we would like to tell you that you are our President. We are so fan of you.We are so proud of you.You are representing the future and so many thing for a part of french people you represent for the youth of France (especially the youth resulting from immigration) the intelligence, the class and the good taste. All that is not the Head of French State. He will never obtain the recognition and the respect of the majority of the Muslims of France. They neglected too much us and lowered. They ridicule us every day in our faith.
Today you heat the heart of the Muslims of France and non Muslim friends who support us. I love you Mr President. May God protect you and your family and all the people who support you in your engagements for a better world. We love you. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Good initiatives no doubt but tell me: Are there similar events planned for major feasts of the Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Bahai and other of the world's faiths? If so what are they? If not, why not? I hope it is not because there are fewer terrorists among these other religions. We should respect all faiths equally. To do otherwise insults all.

Thank you madam Secretary. Eid Mubarak to you too. As an American Muslim, I am proud of being an American. God bless you and God bless the United States of America
Abdullah in Canada writes:
Bill, Happy Eid to you too. I will address the terrorists-among-religions part of your comments. If what you meant by terrorism was killing innocent people, then Hitler, Mosoulini, Benahim Begin, Shamir, Franco fransisco, Ariel Sharon, the KKK, and McVeigh who were not muslims they caused the deaths of innocent people more than 100,000 times that caused by all moslim terroists combined throughout history!

Petting zoo animals might have died in house fire
House fully engulfed when firefighters arrived
Authorities at the scene of a house fire in Hustisford said they believe several animals from a traveling petting zoo died in the fire.
Fire crews said a house on Garfield Road, south of County Road R, was engulfed in flames when they arrived Friday morning. Numerous fire departments were called to the fire.
Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls said one of the people who lived in the house operated a traveling petting zoo for children.
Several of the animals for the zoo were kept in the house and are believed to have died in the fire.
Fire officials said they suspect a wood burning appliance might have started the fire.
Nehls said damage to the house was quite serious, and it will be not be repairable.

Long-dead Vt. mental patients inspire crusadeBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | April 01,2013Toby Talbot / AP Photo
Rep. Anne Donahue looks at a memorial stone at the site of a Vermont State Hospital cemetery in Waterbury last week.WATERBURY An all-but-forgotten cemetery and its dozens of long-dead patients of the forerunner of the Vermont State Hospital are reaching from beyond their hillside graves to help modernize state law regulating what happens when someone dies and no one claims the remains.
The issue emerged from the shadows of history because of Tropical Storm Irene, which more than a year ago inundated the hospital complex, destroyed many old patient records and rendered the complex unusable. As plans were made for a new hospital, some feared the cemetery was in danger of being forgotten again.
Somehow it felt incredibly important to give those people back the dignity of their identity, said Rep. Anne Donahue, D-Northfield, a longtime advocate for the mentally ill. I wanted to find out who was here.
The patients in the Waterbury cemetery came from points all over the state, from Holland on the Canadian border to Bennington, in southern Vermont. One was born in Prussia, most of which is now Poland. Another was from Ireland.
The youngest was a child who died at birth along with his mother. The oldest was 82. Their demises resulted from a variety of causes, but many list variations of insanity as an underlying condition; in one case, it was brought on by domestic affliction.
What they all had in common was dying between 1891 and 1913 while in state custody as patients at the Vermont State Asylum for the Insane. At the time they were buried, the cemetery, up a steep hill just above the Winooski River, looked out over a farm field now covered by Interstate 89.
They were all individuals who had no one willing to claim their bodies, and so they ended up here, Donahue said.
Donahue said she first heard of the hillside cemetery last fall during a ceremony marking the permanent closure of the last remnant of the hospital, abandoned during the August 2011 storm.
Over the decades, people have acknowledged the presence of the cemetery. A historian who wrote about the state hospital noted that in the 1970s, the indentations of the original graves were still visible. And it was marked in 1991 with a granite headstone remembering the people buried there: May their spirits soar. You are remembered.
Donahue spent months going through death and census records, as well as leftover information about the cemetery and the people buried there. Her list isnt definitive, but it offers a glimpse into a time when people with mental illness were hidden away.
Sally Town was 30 when she died in childbirth along with her baby. Her death certificate said she died after her brain was destroyed by syphilis.
Amelia Platka died at age 63 in 1898. The cause of her insanity was listed as domestic affliction.
After hearing their stories and others, Donahue wanted to use her position as a lawmaker to pass a law guaranteeing the cemetery would be taken care of forever. But in researching the case, she found that that site, on state land, was already protected.
Instead, she was shocked to learn the reason why no more people were buried at the cemetery after about 1912: State law began allowing the bodies of people who died unclaimed to be used for medical research, a practice that eventually fell into disuse.
After she started working on a bill to repeal that law, she heard from Vermonts health commissioner, Dr. Harry Chen. He told her the state had no clear mechanism for the disposal of unclaimed remains.
At any given time, there are a couple corpses that are kind of waiting for people to claim them or figure out how to dispose of the remains in a respectful way, Chen said. Its sad.
Donahues proposal outlines how unclaimed remains should be cremated and then held by the medical examiners office for three years while a search is conducted for someone willing to keep the ashes. After that, they could be buried or disposed of through other methods.
The bill has passed the House and is awaiting action in the Senate.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

@ kmanih
Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! I'm going nearly out of my mind...If it weren't for the help of my amazing family members I'd be crying all day. This diet is soooo much harder than i thought it would be. I feel starving all the time...I will definately order these snacks so i can continue. Someone posted earlier that my baby's behavior had nothing to do with my diet and its so disheartening to hear because he is simply so unhappy unless he is being distracted and help constantly and even then sometimes he still cries and kvetches... The main issue is really that he is SOOO gassy and his diapers are so mucousy...so I am right to believe it is most likely a dietary issue, correct? I hope to continue this TED but in the past 4 days there has been ZERO change in his diapers and behavior/sleep...how long does it usually take?

Alabama is bound for BCS title gameAP PHOTO
Alabama running back Eddie Lacy (42) reacts after scoring a touchdown against Georgia during the second half of the Southeastern Conference championship game on Saturday in Atlanta.
ATLANTA Alabama is heading back to the national championship game by a mere 4 yards.
AJ McCarron threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3:15 remaining, and the No. 2 Crimson Tide barely held off No. 3 Georgia 32-28 in a Southeastern Conference title game for the ages Saturday.
After an apparent game-clinching interception by Alabama was overturned after looking at the replay, Georgias Aaron Murray completed a 15-yard pass to Arthur Lynch, a 23-yarder to Tavarres King and a 26-yarder to Lynch, who was hauled down at the Alabama 8 as the clock continued to run.
The Bulldogs were out of timeouts.
Instead of spiking the ball and gathering themselves, the Bulldog snapped the ball with 9 seconds to go. Murray threw a pass in the flat to Chris Conley, who slipped down at the 4.
Georgia couldnt get off another play. Alabama celebrated as confetti fell from the Georgia Dome room. The Bulldogs collapsed on the field, stunned they had come so close to knocking off the team that has won two of the last three national titles.
The Tide will get a chance to make it three out of four when they face top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS crown on Jan. 7 in Miami.
For the Bulldogs (11-2), the consolation prize will likely be a spot in the Capital One Bowl, though they certainly looked like a team fully deserving of a BCS bid.
In a back-and-forth second half that looked nothing like a game in the defensive-minded SEC, the Crimson Tide trailed 21-10 after Alec Ogletree returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Alabama rallied behind a punishing run game, finishing with 350 yards on the ground, an SEC championship game record. Eddie Lacy finished with 181 yards on 20 carries, including two TDs. Freshman T.J. Yeldon had 153 yards on 25 carries, also scoring a TD.
But the Tide won it through the air.
With Georgia stacking the line, McCarron fooled the Bulldogs with play action and delivered a perfectly thrown pass to Cooper, who beat Damian Swann in single coverage.
No. 12 Oklahoma 24,
FORT WORTH, Texas Landry Jones threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, Damien Williams ran untouched 66 yards for a score and 12th-ranked Oklahoma held on to win 24-17 at TCU on Saturday and clinch at least a share of the Big 12 title.
TCUs fourth-down pass to the goal-line in the final minute was well-defended and fell incomplete.
The Sooners (10-2, 8-1 Big 12) won their eighth consecutive Big 12 game since a late-September loss to Kansas State, which played its regular-season finale at home Saturday night against No. 23 Texas. Oklahoma would have the outright title and guaranteed BCS spot if the seventh-ranked Wildcats lose.
The Sooners, whose only other loss was to No. 1 Notre Dame, are in good shape for the final at-large BCS berth if K-State won. Kent States double-overtime loss to Northern Illinois in the MAC championship game likely ended any chance for that league to get in the Bowl Championship Series.
TCU (7-5, 4-5), the two-time BCS buster in its first Big 12 season, lost all four of its conference games at home despite winning four on the road.
But the Frogs still had a chance when Oklahomas Mike Hunnicut missed a 42-yard field goal attempt for with just under than 3 minutes left.
Frogs freshman quarterback Trevone Boykin, who finished with 231 yards passing, completed three passes, including a 35-yarder to Cam White to get the Frogs to the Oklahoma 12. On third-and-10 from there, Boykin had a keeper that ended with him in the end zone but the play was called back because of a holding call an obvious penalty that cleared the way for the score.
After hitting Josh Boyce for 7 yards, the Frogs had fourth-and-13 from the 15 in the final minute when Boykin threw toward Boyce again. But he couldnt make the play between two defenders.
The Horned Frogs four-game home losing streak is their longest since five in a row from November 1996 to November 1997. Before this year, they hadnt lost consecutive home games in the same season since 1998.
This is Oklahomas eighth Big 12 title, all in even-numbered years since Bob Stoops became coach in 1999. The Sooners have been to eight BCS games in that span.
Baylor upsets
No. 24 Oklahoma State
WACO, Texas Lache Seastrunk rushed for 178 yards, including a 76-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Nick Florence passed for 296 yards as Baylor beat No. 24 Oklahoma State 41-34 Saturday.
Baylor (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) has won at least seven games in three straight seasons the first time the Bears have done that since 1949-51.
Seastrunks long scoring run gave Baylor a 41-27 lead with 5:11 left in the game.
The sophomore burst through the middle and slowed down about 25 yards shy of the end zone. Seastrunk stumbled into the end zone and was down on the turf before limping off with an apparent right leg injury.
J.W. Walsh rushed for two touchdowns and Josh Stewart had 147 yards receiving for Oklahoma State (7-5, 5-4).
Clint Chelf threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to David Glidden to make it 41-34 with 1:16 left in the game.
Baylor recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock to secure its third straight victory. The Bears had lost six in a row to the Cowboys by an average of 31.7 points.
Bears linebacker Eddie Lackey returned an interception for a touchdown in the first quarter to help Baylor jump out to a 21-point lead in the first half.
Florence threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to Tevin Reese and the senior quarterback also rushed for 71 yards and a score in the final home game of his career.
Florence has thrown for 4,121 yards this season and is 172 yards shy of breaking the schools single-season passing mark, which Robert Griffin III set last season.
After sputtering offensively most of the second half, Oklahoma State drove 88 yards to make it 34-27 on Walshs 4-yard touchdown run with 5:30 left in the game.
On the next play from scrimmage, Seastrunk broke loose for his 76-yard touchdown. As soon as he crossed the goal line, the Baylor crowd began chanting his name.
Seastrunk stayed on the sideline for the final minutes, but he didnt return to the game.
The Bears took the lead for good early on Lackeys second interception return for a touchdown in two games.
No. 16 Oregon State 77,
Nichols 3
CORVALLIS, Ore. Storm Woods ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter and No. 16 Oregon State put up its highest point total ever, routing Nicholls State 77-3 on Saturday in a game postponed by Hurricane Isaac.
The Beavers surpassed their 76-0 win over Willamette in 1931.
Oregon State (9-3) started playing its substitutes against the lower-division Colonels in taking a 35-0 halftime lead. Markus Wheaton caught 12 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown and sat out the second half.
Officials from both schools decided to put off the Sept. 1 opener when the storm bore down on the Colonels campus in Thibodeaux, La.
The Beavers had a complete turnaround from their 3-9 finish last year. Oregon State is possibly headed to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego on Dec. 27, and representatives from that bowl and the Alamo Bowl were in attendance. The team will learn its destination on Sunday.
Oregon State piled up 683 yards against the FCS Southland Conference Colonels (1-10), who lost their eighth straight.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

Mexico the country, Mexico the state, and Mexico City. When you hear "Mexico" elsewhere in the world most of the time people mean the country. When you hear "Mexico" within the country of Mexico then people probably are referring to the city. The city is surronded by the state but is in its own federal district
When I checked into the hotel in Mexico City I was asked, "Is this your first time in Mexico?" I responded with a "yes" because of my time spent in the Yucatan Peninsula exploring the abandoned Mayan city of Tulum. But this was my first time in Mexico City. However, the hotel desk clerk did not mean Mexico the country but rather Mexico City, also referred to as DF (pronounced 'day f-A') meaning federal district. Her response of "Oh, then you really don't need a map of downtown" confirmed what she meant.
One must know that there are really three things that can be called México. There is the country which official name is the United Mexican States (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), there is the state of Mexico (Estado de México, often refered to as Endomex), and then there is Mexico City (Ciudad de México) which is the land mass of the Federal District (Districto Federal).
Within the United Mexican States, if a person is not talking about international events such as soccer, then they are probably referring to the city. Historically this is because the country obtained the name from the city because before independence the region was called New Spain. Now the the city is without a doubt Mexico's primate city which dominates the commanding heights of the country (there can be an agreement that the north with its economic ties to the United States and the south being undeveloped are culturally free of Mexico City but there can be no doubt Mexico cannot function without Mexico City). Having officially about 18% of Mexico's population (but more likely over 20% because of the amount of Mexicans living legally and illegally in the United States) makes the city the demographic mammoth of the country.
When people inside Mexico want to refer to the country they use the terms La República (the republic) or La Patria (the fatherland).
It can be said that having Mexico City be such a primate city is unhealthy for the country. Mexico City eats up many of the resources that leaves much of the rest of the country impoverished. A friend stated that the relationship between the city and the country is New York City's to New York state only to a much greater and obscene extreme. This trend was heightened by Presidents Benito Juarez and Porfirio Díaz and the Institutional Revolutionary Party by their centralizing the politics and culture of the country on and in Mexico City.

Our Favorite Meat Loaf Recipes
Meat loaf, once the pride and triumph of the thrifty American housewife, now pops up, fancy-pants style, in urban hot spots. It's souped up with exotic chiles, tahini, or truffle oil. It gets the royal treatment: Anyone for Foie Gras--Stuffed Kobe Beef Meat Loaf? But at heart, it's humble food. Our goal here was to cut fat while staying true to the Essence of the Loaf. Then we tried it Italian-style. Then we decided to try a vegetarian version... more about that later.
To start off, we updated the classic recipe by adding cheddar cheese and tangy buttermilk.

Bad Books
In the interests of fairness and intellectual honesty, I've forced myself to read a lot of really bad books. The True Believer tells me his guru's book is the Real Stuff. He tells me I have a closed mind and won't look at anything outside establishment dogma, and if I only read the book and understood Dr. Quack's evidence and arguments, I would be a True Believer too. I have tried, really I have. I've given the Dr. Quacks every chance to convert me, and I've hoped to learn something new, but I'm always disappointed. I've come to the point that I feel like I'm reading the same book over and over: it is always a mixture of real science, pseudoscience, and speculation, based on cherry-picked evidence and argued with the same logical fallacies.
I recently got hooked into reading another one by a correspondent who had called me an "ignorant relic" for writing a "grossly ignorant article" about alternative medicine. I suggested he read R. Barker Bausell's book Snake Oil Science and a couple of others, which he promised to do. Then he said, "If I am willing to buy three books that you have suggested and read them and you are not willing to read what I have suggested, then that pretty much says all that needs to be said."
I was willing, even though the very title of the book suggested that its message was incompatible with the scientific evidence as I know it: How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine. The authors are big names in naturopathic and herbal medicine: Michael Murray, Tim Birdsall, Joseph Pizzorno, and Paul Riley. It's nowhere near as bad as some of the bad books I've read, but it is a good example of the genre and I'll use it to illustrate why I call them bad.
It offers "an arsenal of disease-fighting tools for prevention, treatment, and coping with side effects" (Yes, it offers tools; but do those tools work?) And it promises to "change your internal environment so cancer can't survive." (Wow! If it could really do that, every oncologist in the world would enthusiastically adopt these methods and the authors would be eligible for a Nobel prize.)

Wifredo Lam
The Eternal Presence (An Homage to Alejandro García Caturla)
Wifredo Lam
Cuban, 1902-1982
The Eternal Presence (An Homage to Alejandro García Caturla), 1944
Oil and pastel over papier maché and chalk ground on bast fiber fabric
216.5 x 195.9 cm (85 1/4 x 77 1/8 inches)
Nancy Sayles Day Collection of Modern Latin American Art 66.154
Born in Cuba, Lam received his artistic training in Spain. In 1938 he moved to Paris, where he received encouragement from Pablo Picasso. Lam's style combined aspects of his African, Spanish, and Chinese heritage with conventions of European modernism. When he returned home, he established friendships with other Cuban artists, including the composer Alejandro García Caturla to whom he dedicated The Eternal Presence. Completed while Lam was in Haiti with surrealist poet André Breton, the painting's themes are primitive and threatening, referencing Afro-Cuban culture, the Santería religion, and Carl Jung's texts on archetypes of the collective unconscious. Lam's sources coalesce in this vast composition in which hallucinatory figures with animal heads and murderously seductive female attributes are enmeshed in a dense, tropical landscape.

En español | Serving sizes can be sneaky. You think you're watching your calories by glancing at the nutrition information on the back of your favorite food or beverage, but beware: If you don't read carefully, you could be taking in four or five times the calories you think you are.
Take, for example, that bag of Bear Naked Banana Nut granola that you like for breakfast. Pour yourself a medium bowlful and you could be eating as many calories and grams of fat as a McDonald's double cheeseburger. That's because the actual serving size is only 1/4 cup (a mere 4 tablespoons) and 140 calories. Pour a whole cup's worth (which is easy to do) and you're eating 560 calories and 28 grams of fat.
One tiny sliver
Or how about that big four-cheese DiGiorno thin crust frozen pizza you brought home for dinner? The serving size is one-fifth of a square pizza. But, really, who eats just one-fifth of a pizza? And let's not even talk about trying to cut a square pizza into five equal portions.
Because of these kinds of problems interpreting the fat and calorie information on food labels, the Food and Drug Administration is trying to figure out how to make labels more useful and realistic. Among other things, it is debating whether or not to change serving-size guidelines.
Should it increase serving sizes to reflect how Americans really eat, no matter how unhealthy that might be? Or should it keep the serving amounts the same, but force food companies to do a better job showing how many calories are in that giant bag of chips that you're consuming all by yourself?
FDA spokesperson Siobhan DeLancey says the government is considering changes to nutritional labeling in conjunction with first lady Michelle Obama's initiative on childhood obesity.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture will issue new federal dietary guidelines this year, which also may affect nutrition labeling.
"This is part of a greater nutritional initiative and a big focus for us," DeLancey says. "FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg is very game to make packaging easier for people to read and understand and easier to use." Among the issues she says the FDA currently is debating is, "If we increase the serving size, does that give people permission to eat more?"
Part of the problem, DeLancey notes, is that people don't flip over the package and look at the nutrition facts. "That's the key. If you want to eat it all, you just have to do the math."
A 2008 FDA survey found that fewer than half of Americans check the label for calorie information, while 34 percent rarely or never check the calorie count. In addition, a recent Lempert Report survey of 1,305 supermarket shoppers found that nearly 80 percent find serving-size labeling information confusing.
This comes as no surprise to dietitian Bonnie Taub-Dix, a national spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "People would like to ignore serving size. Who wants to see that the serving size is only one cookie?"
She says she believes the problem isn't with the numbers in the nutrition facts, but that people don't multiply those numbers by how many servings they actually consume.

So when we got the invite to attend the Summer Teva Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado, we tried to take it all in and learn from the incredibly talented athletes of the unfamiliar mountain sports. Here's what we gleaned from last weekend's Teva Mountain Games.

Finding an advisor and trusting those in the world of finance
- 7:27 pm Friday, September 28th, 2012 by Dian Vujovich
The toughest question I'm ever asked is this: Who would you recommend as a financial adviser for me? It's a question that's nearly impossible to answer because there are so many variables. The primary ones center on your expectations and then the amount of money you have to invest.
It's knowing that no two of us are alike when it comes to income, the amount of money we'd like to place with an advisor and our expectations that make this question so difficult to answer. As for accurately matching up an investor's financial personality up with that of an investment pro, [More]

Dear 13 year old Kela,
Being holed up in your room for hours on end does not make for a fun time!
Take a look at all of the neighborhood kids that are in your yard playing with your siblings.
Why don't you go join them in that game of 4-square?
I know full well how hot the Florida sun can be, but you can't be comfortable ALL the time.
Little do you know that you will have six children in the future; vibrant and fun-loving children.
They will beg for you to come outside and play; draw on the sidewalk with chalk, jump rope, chase them around the house, push them on the swing. What do you do, sit inside and watch them as your life slips by. Go!
Cultivate that togetherness. It'll only last a few moments.
Sincerely and Lovingly,Your 37 year old self
Thankfully there is still time for me to enjoy my children OUTSIDE. It's time to get movin'!

To my delight, I found that EPICA produced the highest quality leather journals available on the market. The journals are reminiscent of the workmanship, beauty, and quality, which one would expect from a master craftsman from the renaissance. Not only is the binding of the journals unparalleled, EPICA employs small additional touches that make its journals one of a kind. For example, the journals can have gilded edges in gold that can be matched to a gold embossing on the cover. Additionally, the journals include bound bookmarks in the form of a delicate green page markers.
As for EPICA's customer service, it has been unparalleled. In my most recent purchase, Lee and Ryan worked hard to update me as to the quality to expect from the complicated embossing artwork I provided to them. They sent me various proofs, and then, when running close to my deadline (it was a gift I needed to give), they worked diligently and hard to ensure that I received the item as scheduled despite the multiple proof revisions that were needed.
In short, after two separate journal purchases, I cannot conceive of a company that provides a finer, more exceptional product or better customer service. I give my highest recommendation for their product.

Some shoppers got everything they wanted in a matter of minutes. Others fought through crowds to discover their targeted items were sold out. We talked with a few shoppers on their Black Friday experiences in eastern New Mexico.
Ashly Baccas, shopping in the afternoon with family, said she has never done the early shopping thing. Around 2 p.m. Friday she was just getting started, she said.
Lois Windsor of Springerville, Ariz., and formerly of Portales was out shopping early with family to buy some specific items. She then stopped at Sheila's Classy to Whimsy in Portales just to look and get some ideas for Christmas gifts. She said the day went well, and she found what she was looking for and some additional items as well.
Sandy Calton of Baltimore was shopping at Sheila's Classy to Whimsy in Portales for dress clothes that did not have Spandex or wool because of allergies.
"This is a neat little store to come into. They are very helpful and it's pleasant shopping."
Marrion Adkins of Clovis and her daughter, Christina Boisley, visiting from San Antonio, said they were getting a late start on shopping Friday afternoon. "We like to sleep," Boisley said. While they got some good deals on clothes at Sears, they said they found the mall crowded and were instead looking for bargains on books at Hastings.
Karla Spurgeon of Clovis said she went to Triangle Ace Home Center in Clovis at 7 a.m. Friday to get MP3 players advertised on sale. Though she had to wait in long lines to check out, she said getting the items she wanted was quick and easy, and she paid about a third of the normal price.
Denesha Stoddard of Clovis said she was at Wal-Mart by 4:15 a.m. Friday to take advantage of early sales. Able to get the two items in which she was most interested, she said she bought a PlayStation Portable (PSP) and portable DVD player at a great saving. "We were surprised," she said. "We thought they'd be sold out."
Brad Lane of Clovis was disappointed when he went to Sears around 7 a.m. to take advantage of advertised tool sales and found the things he wanted were already sold out.
