2008 Roadtrip, Game 3: Mets at Pirates (8/18/08)
The roadtripping continued on the morning of Monday, August 18, 2008…
…we woke up at the KOA in Streetboro, Ohio, and made the 2 hour drive into Pittsburgh. By around 11:00 a.m., we were hanging out with these guys outside PNC Park:
Willie Stargell and Roberto Clemente. Two excellent ballplayers. Two excellent statues.
Tim and I had been to PNC Park before. My dad had not. This was my Dad's first view of the inside of the stadium:
As you can tell, we entered the stadium from the CF entrance. After snapping a photo of the field, we headed down to the RF corner and Tim played on the miniture whiffle ball field. There was no BP and no one on the field so we had some time to explore the field.
After a few minutes playing in the kids area, we made our way down the 1B concourse and around to home plate. As you can see (even with the second deck obstructing the skyline view), PNC Park is beautiful and has a spectacular view over the CF-RF stands.
As you can also tell from that last picture, the Mets and Pirates pitchers came out to do some throwing. We decided to make our way down to the Pirates pitchers…
…after getting a Grandfather-Father-Son picture behind the 3B dugout.
So, here we are behind the Pirates pitchers. Our first thought was, "Who are these guys?"
They seemed like a nice bunch of guys. But seriously, I didn't know any of them.
After a minute or two, Tim and I jumped that railing and stood along the fence along the warning track. Soon after that, someone threw a ball over our heads and directly to my dad. I think it was Matt Capps.
A few seconds later, Matt Capps came over and started signing autographs. My dad tossed his baseball down to us and we got Capps to sign it…
…and then we got our picture with him. He was very nice. And, for the record, I have since heard of the guy. Maybe we'll hear even more about him now that he's left Pittsburgh.
A little bit later, Denny Bautista threw a ball to me and Tim…
…actually, he rolled it to us from approximately where he is shown on the field above. It was clear that he was rolling it to us, and everyone else was cool about it. No one tried to intercept it.
We ended up getting a couple autographs on that ball, and a picture with one of the autographers…
Here are the three autographs we got on that ball:
Tyler Yates #30 Sean Burnett T.J. Beam #48
After getting our picture with Beam, we continued our stadium tour. Next stop…
…Ralph Kiner's hands. This is in the LF concourse below the big spiral ramp up to the upper deck.
And speaking of that ramp, that was our next move…
…here is my dad about half way up the ramp (with Pedro Martinez playing catch behind him)…
…and here are me and Tim at the top. And here is a panaramic view of PNC Park from the top of the spiral ramp:
While hanging out at the top of the ramp, I noticed messages going by on the skinny screens between the field and second levels. Then I saw a text message number, so I sent in a message to commemorate our trip:
Then we headed around the upper deck. I took this shot from the upper deck concourse along the 3B line:
That is the LF/3B entrance. I'm not sure if it has an official name. But it honors various Negro League baseball players. As you can see, the large bats hanging over head list: Harold Tinker, Leroy Matlock, Gus Greenlee and Sam Streeter of the Pittsburgh Crawfords; and Cumberland Posey, Sellers Hall, Vic Harris and Ray Brown of the Homestead Grays.
In the middle of the walkway is a statue of the great slugger, Josh Gibson. In 2007, I got a picture of Tim and the Gibson statue.
Back to the tour, we ended up in the upper deck down the RF line. Check out how cool the area looks with those golden bridges. Excellent.
Here is a panaramic view from the RF corner upper deck seats:
Finally, it was game time. We headed to our seats where this was our view of PNC Park from section 139, Row D:
The Mets sent John Maine to the hill to face off against Paul Maholm. The Mets were in first place in the N.L. East and were gearing up for another late season collapse. The Pirates were standing in 5th place, a game up on the Reds and 20.5 back of the Cubs.
Argenis Reyes led the game off with a single and scored the Mets first run with two down in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Carlos Beltran.
The Mets scored again in the fourth inning when David Wright singled, Carlos Beltran doubled and Carlos Delgado hit Wright in with a weak grounder to first base.
All the while, John Maine was stifling the Pirates pitching 1-hit ball. Ultimately, Maine pitched five innings and gave up only 2 hits. I'm not sure why he didn't come back in the sixth.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Lets see some sights along the way. Look who was standing in front of us in CF…
…2008 NL All-Star and Gold Glove center fielder, Nate McLouth. He did nothing at the plate during this game.
Around the fourth inning, we decided it was high time we got some ice cream in us. In a surprise move, Tim selected mint chocolate chip instead of his standard chocolate order.
On the way back to our seats, the Pirates Parrot (he probably has a name, but I don't know it), was standing in the concourse right behind our seats. I asked if we could get our picture with the Parrot:
For some reason, Tim wanted no part of that happy Parrot. Maybe he just wanted to get back to the seats for his ice cream. Actually, Tim generally loves mascots. But he is often intimidated and quiet once he finally gets up close next to a mascot. I guess they are big strange characters for the little guy.
Hey, see that camera man behind the me, Tim and the Parrot? He took note of us as we posed with the Parrot. A couple minutes later, he was all-up-in-our-faces:
…Tim got a good 20 seconds of screen time! He smiled and waved for the camera. Ah, good times.
After the ice cream, we made a change. We moved to the covered handicap-accessible / standing room walk way below the RF bleachers:
The Mets made a move too. They replaced John Maine with Brian Stokes in the sixth inning. It only took Stokes two batters and eight pitches to blow the save. When Adam LaRoche's 2-run bomb sailed over the OF fence, John Maine's solid outing was wiped out.
In the top of the eighth, it was still tied 2-2 when the Pirates brought in Tyle Yates (the same Tyler Yates who autographed our baseball before the game). Yates retired the first two batters, before giving up a single and two walks to load the bases. The Pirates brought in Sean Burnett (yep, the same one who also signed our baseball before the game) to record the third out. With a 1-1 count, Burnett induced an infield pop-up behind 3B by Carlos Delgado. The Pirates escaped the bases loaded jam unscathed.
Then they came to the plate and did some work. With three singles and a double, the Pirates scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth. The final blow came on a 2-run double by future-Mariner Jack Wilson.
And so it became do or die time for the Mets…
…the Pirates were ready to record an ellusive "W."
Not even the great Fernando Tatis could save the day for the Mets…
…Tatis popped out to 1B. Two of the next four batters would reach base, but the other two…wouldn't. Coming full cirlce, after leading off the game with a single, Argenis Reyes closed out the game with a ground-out to short stop.
Pirates Win!
As the Pirates celebrated behind us, I snapped one final picture of Tim and my dad before we headed out…
…it was time to drive back to our house for the night before heading to Philadelphia for the final game of The Inaugural Great Cook Grandfather-Father-Son Baseball Roadtrip.

Todd –
Thanks for the great update of the 2008 roadtrip. PNC Park looks like an excellent park that someday will need to plan to visit. Great to see the screen time with Tim doing his favorite thing in eating ice cream —- It still amazes me how you have the time to share with us your travels in such details. We look forward to the updates.
——– Side note I saw your note to PadreLeigh (got to meet him at Angel's Stadium) on Zack's blog. Timothy & I did the Petco tour this past Christmas while on break & I was able to catch a game at Petco during a business trip last year —– So I will add my two cents – Since the games have low attendance (11,000 for a Sept game) I was told by co-worker to buy the cheapest ticket to get in. I tried buying the bleacher seat at the ticket office and the ticket office agent instead sold me a park ticket which is basically a SRO ticket and saved a couple of bucks. The view for the bleacher seat in the beach area is not that great. The beach area is right center and your kids can play there throughout the game with a bleacher seat. As a parent you do need to remember a home run ball can still land on your kid while they are playing in the sand. I spent most of the game walking to the various parts of the Park watching an inning or so. Finally landed up on the first base line. Tim will probably have a good time at the Park in the Park – There is a small baseball park (bases, pitchers mound – little league size) above the beach area where kids can play. There is a big screen jumbotron to watch the game from the park area —— Timothy had a great time pitching and taking some grounder before our Park Tour — You will have a great time at Petco and can't wait for your update next summer —- Thank to you and other bloggers you have given us the baseball bug to visit and see these baseball parks (Trying to plan our family's summer trip right now – too bad it doesn't look like we will be coming through So. Cal during your trip – Aloha Todd
love your trip recaps especially the Pittsburgh ones. Im so glad you enjoy yourself here. The Negro League area is called Legacy Square. A nice tribute with the bats and statues. Pittsburgh always has had a negro league heritage. Capps was always a good guy. Made sure everybody had their autographs or pictures, but being a National I doubt we will hear too much about him. Enjoy Jack Wilson in Seatle!
I think I might have already mentioned the Beach in SD to you, but I saw your post on Zack's Blog. I sat there when Griffey was sitting on 598 because I was just young enough to be allowed in the sand. Kids can be in the sand, but adults can't be. I think Tim would enjoy it, and if he stays close to the field, he should be safe from and home run balls. Just beware, when I was there, a home run landed in the sand, and there was a huge pile of kids, I ended up with the ball because I was at the bottom, but I wouldn't want Tim to get trapped in that. As Teemo said above, the park in the park is really awesome. Saturdays they have special events like BMX half pipes and cool stuff. Also, if you sit in the bleachers on a Saturday, they move you onto the field to watch the fireworks. As for the view, its not great, but its not horrible. Padres games are usually not near capcity so you should be able to move somewhat, although some of the ushers can be pretty strict.
You know I actually fancy the Pirates. It's an organization with a great ballpark and a wonderful history. THe fans certainly deserve more if you know what i mean. Funny comment about not knowing who any of the Pirates' pitchers were😉. I think the organization just doesn't know which direction it's going is all😛. Trading away all the good players seem a bit interesting. Like i continue to say in all your blog posts I admire you for taking your son and your father to different ballparks. I wish to go on my own roadtrip some day to every ballpark and go on my own little adventure🙂 Your son is so adorable and it's great that he got some screen time! Cuteness takes you far😉
These are wonderful memories you are building! I was in Pittsburgh two years ago and now that I saw your pictures, I realized I missed seeing the giant bats! Well, next time I am there I will see it. It is wonderful that you were able to capture the pictures posted on the big screen.
yeah man i cant believe you were able to snap a pic of your txt message. every game i hope to at least see my message up there but it happens so fast. ive never executed that good flash timing
What's with all of this commenting action? Thanks, folks!
Thanks for the insites on Petco Park and "the Beach." It sounds interesting, but I didn't realize parents can't go in to. We're not getting Beach tickets. I think Tim would love it, but Warren is right, I wouldn't want Tim in there alone if a homerun was hit into the beach and it turned into a rugby scrum.
Thanks for your kind words. I always enjoy PNC Park. Looking forward to coming out for a Kids Run The Bases this season. As for the text message on the board, I think it was a slow day for texts. Ours went up shortly after sending it in and stayed up long enough for us to marvel at how we were ballpark celebrities with our names on the board.
Thanks for coming back. Hey, baseball is made for father and son (or how about parents and kids?). Its a great joy being a father and getting to share moments with my son and the game I love. As for the Pirates, I don't know how the Pirates fans do it. (hey, Matt how do you do it?) The organization has had some decent talent come through but is just in constant rebuilding mode. Its sad in light of the great history with Clemente, Stargell, etc., etc., etc.
Thanks for stopping by. The bats (as Matt informs us above, Legacy Square) is easy to miss if you don't enter the stadium from that area. Look for it along the 3B line toward the outfield next time you're in Pittsburgh. As for the screen, we saw the cameraman approaching and my dad and I were all over it with two cameras. My dad shot the cameraman and I shot the big screen. Full coverage of Tim's time on the big screen.

A Win And A Loss
Hey, We Can't Win'em All.
My little blogging break is over, now that my 16th birthday came and went. It's nice to be back to blogging about the Yankees, even if I have to blog about a loss. But they did win Saturday. On Saturday they beat the Mariners 5-2, while yesterday they lost 10-3.
Pitching Analysis: On Saturday, Sergio Mitre pitched for us, and I love saying that he performed very well. He really did. He gave up a run in the first on a sac fly, but Cano made an error that made the runner on in the first place. Mitre just allowed 1 more run in the 4th on an infield single by Jack Hannahan. He really did a nice job. I was so proud of him. He won for me!
Good job, hottie!
Yesterday was Joba's turn, and he did not do too well. He got himself into trouble too many times, and unlike Mitre, he was unable to escape it. In 5 innings, Joba gave up 4 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks. He didn't have his good stuff yesterday. Alfredo Aceves relieved him, but did not do much better. He allowed 4 runs in 1 & 2/3 innings. Chad Gaudin gave up 2 runs in 1 & 1/3 innings. The pitching wasn't really there yesterday, but you can't expect them to be dominant every day, so whatever.
Joba wasn't too good yesterday.
Defensive Analysis: I don't really remember anything spectacular or stupid to note about the defense, so I'm sure it was solid as usual for both games. There is one thing: on Saturday's game in the 7th inning, Jose Molina caught Ichiro at 3rd base, which is always an accomplishment. Go Jose!
Offensive Analysis: On Saturday, the Yankees scored 5 runs, most of them came early. In the 2nd, Molina singled to knock in Cano. Then Jeter knocked one in on a sac fly, and then with 2 outs Nick Swisher hit a 2-run homer, bringing the Yankee lead to 4-1. They got another run late in the game. When the pitching is on, offense is less important. So 5 runs was enough on Saturday.
Yesterday, the pitching was bad, and the Yankees only scored 3 runs, which was not enough. Jeter singled, and Ramiro Pena scored all the way from first! In the 4th, Swisher hit his 20th homer of the year, a 2-run shot which made the Yankees have a 3-2 lead. But the pitching could not hold the lead (cough, cough, Joba) so the Yankees lost 10-3.
Yesterday, Jeter passed Luis Aparicio for the most hits as a shortstop. Way to go, Jeet!
So the Yankees took 3 out of 4 in Seattle. Not too shabby. The heroes for Saturday were Nick Swisher for his homer, and Sergio Mitre for looking sexy and pitching a great game. Although they lost yesterday, the Yankees still have a really cozy 7.5 game lead over the Sox! What is happening to the Red Sox? Whatever it is, I like it! They won for me on Saturday, but they lost on my actual birthday. Hey, we can't win'em all.
I don't really care about the loss too much. I had a wonderful birthday despite it. I want to thank all you guys for wishing me a happy birthday. THANK YOU!!!! If I get a chance later, I'll post some pictures.

Virginia, I am very happy the Mitre won for you! He is a great pitcher and pitches well in the second half. I have a new post up, if you wanna check it out.
my first night of being a Mariners fan turned out well. sorry bout the loss for you guys though
I already knew what you were going to say, so it's far too late hun. lol.
2k is g@@@@y, The Show > it by like a 1000. Trade it in for MLB 09 The Show, very quickly. You'll thank me later.

By the way, I think it's so cute how you said that AJ Burnett is "a freakin' beast on the mound". I mean, come on? Who doesn't love that? It's like a 5 year old baby krumping!
I'm glad you had a great birthday, I remember my 16th birthday quite well……11 years ago. LOL I believe I went to see Titanic with some friends while my dad painted my bedroom. Oy, those were the days. I do miss high school, though. Anyway, enough with the trip down memory lane…….
While we're all down on Joba for not pitching like we know he can, the real goat of the game was Aceves. He DID give up the 5 run inning to the M's that put the game completely out of reach. Until then we were only down by 1 run and we've come back from that deficit I don't know how many times this season. As I said over at Lisa's blog, here's hoping AJ fares much better.
Hey, I'm back from my trip!! I missed blogging so much, but it's great to be back. Anyways, I hope you had a GREAT birthday, and I'm glad the Yankees won for you this weekend!!
I want to see pictures of that black forest birthday cake! Yum. Thinking positive thoughts for AJ tonight in Oakland.
Hi Virginia,
Good blog, this was my first read. It's nice to hear from another Yankee fan from my area (in your bio it says you are from Cold Spring; I grew up in Beacon!)
I also liked your HV Renegades blog. I have been meaning to get out to a game this season (my friends and I actually went to one but it rained so we left)
Check out my blog Yankee Yapping when you get the chance!
The Show is a thousand times better, I'm telling you. Reviewers say so, I say so… it sucks that you don't have a Playstation, because The Show pwns.
Today is my mom's birthday, isn't that funny? lol
My nether regions itch…
-Bond, James Bond.
Glad you had a nice birthday despite the loss. Next weekend is going to be pretty big for you guys, isn't it? You can put the division away next week. I'm hoping my Rays have a good showing against the O's so we can maybe leapfrog those Sox in the wild card. Help us out!
Oh well, glad you had a great birthday, despite Joba's struggles. Hopefully AJ Burnett will turn things around, this was sure a blowout in favor for the Marlins. I hope this turns around tonight!
Matthew Tang
AJ will definetely turn things around. He has been scorching as of late, and won't stop now. The Yanks offense will back him up as well. They are just unbeatable, well so are the Indians,….. uhm currently….🙂

Woman finds snake living in free couch
4-foot boa constrictor made home in used furniture
A Michigan woman got an unexpected "bonus" when she picked up a free couch from the curb: a 4-foot-long snake.
According to WZZM-TV in Grand Rapids, Mich., Holly Wright had kept the second-hand couch in her room for two months before making the discovery over the weekend.
"I picked this couch up off the street and it's been in my bedroom for a couple months, and today we found a python inside the couch," Wright says in a video she and her boyfriend made.
Wright told WZZM that she found the couch along the curb and checked it for smells and removed the cushions before taking it home.
While the couch seemed fine, the snake began emerging from it over the weekend. The snake -- it's unclear if it was a boa constrictor or a python -- seemed lethargic and she and her boyfriend tried to remove it using a plastic coat hanger.
"It didn't really react or hiss ... It was quite cold in the room, there was no food for the snake and I think it came out of the couch because it was dying," she said.
Wright and her boyfriend tore the side of the couch, removed the snake and put it in a box for safe keeping, but it died before they could get help for it.
"It's been really sad actually to realize all this time I was in proximity to that animal [and it] was probably suffering," she told WZZM.
While the snake received a proper burial, the couch was returned to the curb, this time along with a warning written on its cushions: "Do Not Pick Up."

August 21, 2013 —
HIGHLAND LAKE, NY — The NACL Theatre will present "Black Wizard/Blue Wizard," starring Eliza Bent and Dave Malloy, on Saturday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m.
"Black Wizard/Blue Wizard" is a musical fantasia depicting an epic duel between two opposing wizard philosophies in a modern and mundane age. Ideals of truth, knowledge, scientific advancement, information consciousness, network connectivity and excellence battle against beauty, nature, simplicity, holistic systems, magical realism and intuition as the wizards rise on smoke-emitting platforms. As the two wizards joust amidst a digital backdrop, ancient ideals of spirituality and morality contrast against a culture that promotes the shallow, quick and callous. Ultimately "Black Wizard/Blue Wizard" subversively explores the effects of instant-access network technology and internet addiction on the soul.

AC Green: A Champion in Christ
I met AC Green last night. I know he's not a baseball player, but there's not much going on in baseball, and this was a pretty amazing event.
In case you didn't know, AC Green was a NBA player for 16 years. He is known as the NBA's Iron Man, much like baseball's Cal Ripken Jr. Green played in 1,192 straight games, plus practices. This guy was on the court constantly. Those 1,192 games played straight amounted to 15 years without missing a game. Now, that's pretty amazing. He won four championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he was an NBA All-Star.
But probably the thing that he is most known for is his commitment to God and to purity. When he retired after 16 years in the NBA, he was able to say that he was still a virgin.
Anyways, he was speaking for a group that I am part of last night. He was a wonderful speaker. Well, first of all, you've got this 6-foot-9-inch guy up on the stage. And he went through his whole talk without notes. I'm sure he's done it countless times, but still, it's a great feat to be able to give an hour-long talk without notes. He was very funny.
He was saying how he still loves to go to Lakers games. But what do you think he loves to watch the most? The offense? The defense? Nope. The vendors. He has to find the perfect seat to be in a good position to get a good vendor. He loves going out to the concession stands. Don't you ever watch the game? "Oh, look…they're getting tired. (giggleing) They're sweating. I don't have to be out there anymore, thank you Lord!" But if you think about it, that really makes sense. When you're on the court, when you're the player, you don't get to just sit back and enjoy the game. You don't get to go out and grab a hot dog or popcorn. With how long this guy played, it's no wonder he loves the concession stands more than the action on the court!
But the most important thing to him, of course, is his faith. He wasn't able to get through those 16 years and still be a virgin without God. It's a great story. He encouraged us to keep the faith, through everything that's going on in our lives. There are going to be a lot of hardships in the years ahead, but as long as we keep our faith in God, He will keep is strong.
Afterwards I went up and shook his hand. He's a really funny guy. It was very cool to stand right in front of him, you know, he's so tall! I also got a free copy of his book, Victory. Pre-autographed🙂
It was a really neat night. If you want to learn more about AC Green, check out this website for all the info: http://www.acgreen.com/

Cool! But why would he want to go to a Laker game it's all about the Celtics!
Great story Kaybee! It's great when you see someone who's willing to live the life that's important to them and not just to fit in with everyone else.
Wow…he's very commited to his religion and his job!!! That's really amazing.
This is great! I gotta say, he is absolutely right. Keep that faith with you! I keep mine ALL the time🙂 I'm sure you do that too!
That's so cool that you got to meet AC Green! I honestly hadn't heard about him before because I don't follow basketball, but now I'm pretty up to date. That's incredible that he was still a virgin after 16 years in the NBA. Talk about some serious faith. And I never thought that the players might enjoy watching what goes on during the game– besides the game.
BOB, AC played with the Lakers for a long time. He was involved in the whole rivary with the Celtics. I don't think he really wants to be cheering for the Celtics. Like he said, "They're the reigning champions…for a few more months."
JULIA, yes, exactly! He's a great role model.
XCICIX, yes, only by the grace of God was he able to do that!
HYUN YOUNG, yes, faith is very important!
ELIZABETH, I hadn't heard of him either until a few weeks ago! But it's a really great story. He's a great role model!
I can remember some obscure Red Hot Chili Pepper lyrics int he 80's that go:
"(From Magic) To the hand of the man named A.C. Green. Slam so hard break your T.V. screen.
I hate to burst your bubble
But triple-double trouble …" (i forget the rest, just thought I share that)
That is very cool you got to meet him and hear him speak. Green was one of my favorite parts of the 'showtime Lakers.' He sounds like a great guy.
Your Trevor pictures are up!!
More to come from Spring Training in a few weeks!!
Kaybee, that's awesome that you were able to meet AC. Guys like him or even Josh Hamilton are great role models for kids today. Thanks for sharing.

Brianna Evink
Building Community Into Family
For Brianna Evink, it's the community at Dordt that has made her experience so great. She says the close-knit community grows out of the learning environment created from having smaller class sizes. "When you are in smaller classes—which happens especially in upper-level courses—you get close enough to the students and professors that you become like family."
Brianna is involved in many campus activities and helps create new opportunities for students. Because she loves swing dancing, she invited others to join her in the Rec Center to learn some "swinging" moves. It has since become a regular event. Sharing her passion with others created a unique opportunity to get to know even more students.
A psychology major with a pre-physical therapy emphasis, Brianna also enjoys helping other students with their studies. As one of many tutors in Dordt's ASK Center (Academic Skills Center), she appreciates the way tutors care about other students. "I enjoy watching students from the moment they first come in to when they get that 'aha' moment of realization."
Brianna keeps busy in other ways, too. She is president of the Pre-Physical Therapy Club, a member of the Dordt women's soccer team, and a participant in intramural sports.
From early childhood, Brianna knew that Dordt was the place for her. She says she felt God leading her to Dordt and knew it would be right for her. She admits wondering, at first, why she would want to go from a big city to a small-town college, but now she views Dordt like home. "The people here create a strong community environment because of how welcoming they are."

Dordt College News
Dordt named a "Best in the Midwest" college by Princeton Review
August 27, 2012
The Princeton Review has again named Dordt College to its 2013 "Best in the Midwest" colleges list. Dordt is one of just 153 institutions named to the list, and one of 633 colleges named to its lists throughout the country.
"We're pleased to recommend Dordt College to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree. We chose it and the other terrific institutions we name as 'regional best' colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's senior vice president and publisher. "We winnowed our list based on institutional data we collected directly from the schools, our visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of our staff, plus college counselors and advisors whose recommendations we invite."
Also factored into the rankings are comments from students. Princeton Review asks students to fill out an 80-question survey asking them about professors, classmates, and campus life.
A Dordt biology major commented that classes are intimate and that "the professors have an opportunity to get to know the students. It is impossible to fall through the cracks." Another student said Dordt "goes above and beyond what most colleges do when it comes to finding you an internship or a job after graduation." That assertion is demonstrated by Dordt's consistent 97 percent placement rate (students who find jobs or go on to graduate school within six months of graduation).
The Princeton Review rankings can be found at www.princetonreview.com.
Dordt College is a Reformed, Christian College in Sioux Center, Iowa. You can find more information about Dordt College at www.dordt.edu.

Do you have unwanted wrinkles on your forehead? Those wrinkles can be minimized with a brow lift.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a brow lift can reduce creases and wrinkles that occur on the bridge of the nose, creases in your forehead (commonly called frown lines), and reposition a sagging brow.
These improvements are typically made surgically.

Here's to the word nerds.
Here's to the people who love to break words down to their roots, who care whether a noun or a verb has its origin in a Romance or a Germanic or a Slavic language. Or that it originated in Arabic and went through French.
Here's to those who know that prefixes and suffixes give clues to word meanings.
Here's to those who prefer to hear words in a sentence. Or repeated so they can fix them in their minds.
In other words, here's to spelling bee contestants.
Here's to the 12 spellers who will be competing in the McHenry County Spelling Bee, which will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the auditorium at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14 in Crystal Lake. The bee also will be streamed live at NWHerald.com.
Once again, I have the privilege of being one of the bee's judges. It's something I look forward to each year.
On the line for the spellers is a chance to go to Washington, D.C., to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which will take place from May 25-31.
So there's some pressure for the contestants, far more than I could have handled at their age. Although I'm a good speller, I always did poorly at bees. I would crack under the pressure and never make it out of my school's competition.
Someone who most definitely does not choke is reigning McHenry County spelling champ Lucas Urbanski, who represents Immanuel Lutheran School.
He's won the McHenry County contest three times and has gone to Washington, D.C., after each win. Last year, he finished in a tie for 19th place out of 282 spellers and could be seen on ESPN2's broadcast of the competition.
He will be trying to get back there for a fourth time in his final year of eligibility. He's faced some stiff competition here at home, with runner-up Scarlett Costello giving him a pretty good run last year.
It can take a while until there's a winner, but it probably won't be like a spelling bee in Jackson County, Mo., which ran out of words after 60 rounds. That bee still doesn't have a winner and is set to resume Saturday.
It hasn't happened here yet, but I suppose there's a first time for everything.
In any event, here's to this year's contestants: David Amoo, Mary Endres Elementary School; Haley Bowen, Marengo Middle School; Chase Duncan, Nippersink Middle School; Hannah Johnson, Northwood Middle School; Alexander Joseph, Woodstock School District 200; Shannon Mastey, Harvard Junior High School; Derrick Nguyen, McHenry Middle School; Brooke Peterson, Prairie Grove Junior High School; Cameryn Piskule, Marlowe Middle School; Clare Urbanski, Richard Bernotas Middle School; Lucas Urbanski, Immanuel Lutheran School; and Kaili Wegener, Parkland School.
Congratulations to all of them for getting this far; it's quite an accomplishment. It takes a lot of work to learn all those words. Oftentimes, a speller gets a lot of support.
So here's also to the parents, friends and family members who helped get the spellers ready.
This year's competition should be a good one.
I'm ready to be spellbound.

The New Frontier For Emerging Designers!
One of my Manhattan highlights ! The next best thing since sliced bread.. Wondermode opens a whole new opportunity for emerging designers globally
We sat down and discussed a new feeling that was emerging from one of the harshest economic downturns in US history since the great depression. In Manhattan recently
My friend, who was a neighbour of mine on the third floor of a great apartment block three years ago mentioned how there was a huge new feeling in Manhattan with start-up companies such as his very own.
I am talking in particular of a new site being launched in February 2011 Wondermode. Its aim is to provide high end fashion focussed platforms for emerging designers to build their brand with great tools to sell their collections. My friend is essentially creating an online department store for up and coming brands which otherwise would probably have no chance of selling their product to the world. It made me think about our own bridal company Henry Roth, Michelle Roth and Henry Roth Australia which has three generations of bridal family fashion behind it.
We were at a cool new cocktail lounge/ eatery called Norwood. It is a Brownstone converted into pulsating style and energy and the entire reception is run by gorgeous youth of Australia. Members only maybe, try the Australian accent or get a friend to become a member
It was a little more than three years ago that Michelle and I (we are a sister & brother design team) decided to specialise in little more than two stores in the US after being in more than 120 retailers before that. We felt at the time that we were losing touch with our brides and the process was becoming homogenous and way too corporate. We felt that our designs were losing meaning and specialness we wanted them to have.
I believe that just as there has been a huge emerging world market of opportunity in many industries fashion in particular has gone either corporate and mass market or is finding a new way through social media websites and blogs to really cater to extremely specialised groups of interest.
We feel incredibly elated to realise that the gut reaction that Michelle and I had that we needed to go more exclusive and specialise three short years later as we now have direct, exclusive contact with our brides at Kleinfeld, the largest bridal store anywhere in the world.
This new attitude means that our gowns are exclusive to the brides that come to Kleinfeld, we consult and communicate with them directly at the many Trunk Shows we do each year. Upon purchase I provide them with my personal card with email and cell phone numbers and often we get photos and comments from our brides after they walk down the aisle.
As we all try and find meaning in this fast and no common experience media world that we live in Michelle and I find greater warmth and satisfaction than we ever have in our careers as we realise that not being conveniently located everywhere is the new chic for tomorrow. As for young emerging designers register NOW< this is going to explode along the lines of Net A Porter.
I realised as I sipped on my delicious cocktail at Norwood Club with my wonder friends who have created Wondermode that the world stage has room to be made up of not just the corporate tigers but the tiny players who will make up a worldwide tapestry of passion and fashion for tomorrow.
Through the Kleinfeld Blog real brides attended our October 20 Kleinfeld Runway and Press Launch. At the end of the day it is the real brides who are creating our new tomorrow.
I am fresh off a flight from JFK to Sydney where Wi Fi was free and I was twittering and Face Booking on my Blackberry and I had a real out of body experience
Astro Boy was always so futuristic. Just get me those self propelling boots and I see no difference between Astro Boy and Us !

On Tuesday, 36-year-old Queens native Leo Grand launched his mobile app, "Trees for Cars."
The app is designed to get people to carpool and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
Grand is homeless, and just three months ago he had no idea how to code.
Patrick McConlogue, a 23-year-old programmer, would pass Leo on the street on his way to work each day. So one day, Patrick offered Leo $100 or the opportunity to learn how to code.
Every day for the past three months, the duo met to study and create the app.
McConlogue and Grand's journey, followed by 50,000 people on Facebook, is only just beginning.
"He writes every line, and he understands every line," McConlogue said of Grand.
"If you've been blessed with a talent or skill…pay it forward, teach somebody something. Even if you just one help one person, the fact that you even tried is a step in the right direction," Grand said.

PARCC Information Resources
As mentioned in the Superintendent's Weekly Bulletin, several informative resources for PARCC have been posted here. This includes a letter to parents, several fact sheets, and an FAQ document. A Spanish translation of the parent letter will be posted later in the week. These documents are designed to help engage staff, parents and communities so they have a better understanding of what we're doing. Please feel free to use in whatever way works best for you. You may print on our letterhead and send out or take the content and personalize it for your own district.
Additionally, we're getting many questions regarding accommodations for the field test. I want to point you to a few links that might be helpful:

If you take the cultural temperature of the Internet (rectally, of course), you'll find it pretty cool on modern day media, overall. Movies are stale. TV is predictable. Games are repetitious. Books are, I don't know, inbred or something. The point is, we're very pessimistic about the state of storytelling in modern times. Now, I'm always down for a casual riot or a good old-fashioned effigy burning, but let's try a little optimism for once: If you look in the right places, there are some pretty cool things happening right now ...
4New Proprietary Instant Video Series
Amazon has been trying to get their filthy fingers all up in Netflix's peanut butter for a while. But now they're finally done poking at the periphery and are ready to go in full fist. Amazon recently greenlit a series of pilots, and they went straight to the users to see which should get approved for a full series. It seems so stupidly intuitive, you almost don't realize how impossible and brilliant it is. Do you know network TV still relies largely on the antiquated Nielson ratings system? What you watch -- even today, in our world of instant streaming, persistent connections, and fucking robots on Mars -- what you watch is still determined by randomly distributing data boxes to hateful hydrocephalics living in caves in the Ozarks somewhere.
Alphas got cancelled. Grimm is in Season 3. Clearly, there is no justice in this world.
Spinoff Online
You probably didn't even know this was a thing, but it's friggin' HUGE in the Ozarkian waterhead demographic.
The traditional pilot system is equally antiquated bullshit: The only way a show gets made is to make one episode of said show, preview it to a few coked-up studio heads, and hope that the soundproofing on their new Bentleys hasn't completely severed their last lingering connection to the common man. By showing pilots straight to the viewers and seeing what the overall interest is, we can -- gasp -- actually approve shows viewers want to watch, instead of greenlighting 18 wacky comedies about moving back in with your crotchety in-laws.
I mean, I'm not saying it's time for a celebratory Shotgun and Hooker Party just yet: I watched the Amazon pilots, or at least as much of them as I could before huge chunks of my brain started shutting themselves off to conserve energy. But the idea of distributing pilots online for viewer approval is sound. Why, if we had this system in place earlier, shows like Heat Vision and Jack would have easily made it to air, and we as a society could have all collectively gotten over Jack Black a few years early.
3Cross-Platform Tie-Ins
EVE Online, the spaceship-based massively multiplayer Intro to Accounting course, is getting its own show. But it's not adapted from the plot, or even loosely based on the world. The stories are being pulled straight from the anecdotes and experiences of the players themselves. It's a brilliant and novel move that will no doubt falter and explode in its creators' faces. But just because something is guaranteed to fail doesn't mean we shouldn't try it. The EVE show illustrates a relatively new concept: adaptations that are not only cross-media, but stride the line between interactive and passive participation. If you survive an epic enough double-crossing space battle in your game, all the while spewing pithy one-liners and making the hard choices others are scared to, you could theoretically turn around and sell that story to Hollywood. How crazy unlikely was that scenario, even two years ago?
I know the EVE/TV connection isn't unique. There are probably a thousand painfully pretentious pixel-art games that tie into YouTube in novel ways, but the really exciting part for the audience happens when the pure art concepts start leaking into the mainstream. And that's just now kicking into high gear:
If you're into generic space marine action and you're sick of literally every single other game that's been produced in the past 10 years, you can hop into Dust 514 and take your bottled-up aggression out on other virtual warriors across a series of different planets. The difference here being that, floating above that planet you're fighting on, EVE Online players are sitting in their mammoth bankships, strategizing and calling down orbital strikes. They can even hire groups of mercenaries -- the space marines playing Dust -- to carry out their cold and unfeeling whims, seamlessly merging the calculation of interest rates with the act of lobbing grenades into beefy dudes' groins.
Although, to be fair, nearly everything is made better with groin grenades.
I have no idea how well they pulled it off. I know the concept has a long way to go, and it's not fully interactive yet: You can't ditch your EVE ship to get viciously teabagged on Planet Grit below, and you can't teleport up to the EVE ships above to take out a space-loan -- but that's still two vastly different experiences merging two vastly different types of player, and having them interact, play with, and change one another. It's only a start, sure, but even journeys into fiery, raging badass start with baby steps.

Jesus had left his own land and traveled into the Gentile world. These Gentiles worshiped many different gods and idols. The disciples judged the Canaanite woman as a lowly Gentile trying to get Jesus' attention. And when Jesus tells her that she is not among the chosen people, she kneels and begs for help for her daughter. The woman was not presumptuous, but lowly; and she believed. It brought joy to Christ in a trying time, and it gave opening to his grace. Jesus did believe that God intended him to work through Israel. But he could not be cruel to a mother's pain and He did heal the girl. God's grace and mercy is abundant and for all believers.

I started taking Cordyceps for hypertension, hoping to alleviate my reliance on two blood pressure medications. However, with taking two Cordyceps capsules in conjunction with my BP medication, my blood pressure has fallen below hypertension levels. I eventually plan on relying on Cordyceps alone to maintain my blood pressure, along with dietary and exercise modifications.
This along with some other medicinal mushrooms is seems to be helping my daughter's immune system. We're going to stay the course for a while to get a full determination on the results.
No Cordyceps smell, and misleading picture and name of the product
Posted by 4908019775637418531 on Oct 23, 2016
The picture and name of the product is misleading. The picture and name of the product is cordyceps but the supplement facts says that it is cordyceps mycelium. Cordyceps mycelium is unnatural, and the effect is much weaker than cordyceps. The content has no cordyceps smell at all and I doubt it would have noticeable effect on me. With using the picture and name of cordyceps, I think host defense company seem to be kind of dishonest and cannot be trustworthy.
Capsules are tasteless, smooth and easy to swallow.

hello. i'll be going back to work soon. i know there's some posts regarding this but i thought i would post another thread that's more recent. plus mine is a particular question.
our LC and specialist that did the tongue tie procedure on our LO said that Dr. Brown's bottles with the level 1 nipple (slowest) is the best to use so there's no nipple confusion plus the bottle is the best to use.... (this is when we had to bottle feed him because he was having probs...that's another story)
he does do good with it but there are times it's too fast for him and he gags. anyone have any experience with these bottles/nipples? any other recommendations?
also, what is the proper way to give a bottle. i think i remember reading an article on the LLL site about introducing a bottle. it's suppose to be held horizontally instead of at an angle???

About this set: This was a weird year for racing cards. I bought my factory set at Talladega. I never saw any retail boxes or packs anywhere in my area. Family Dollar still had plenty of 1988 packs and Woolworths had hundreds of 1989 combo packs with the 1989 Maxx preview cards and 3 1988 Maxx packs. No 1989 Maxx packs could be found anywhere. This set contains what is considered Dale Earnhardt's rookie card. Geoff Bodine card #5 is the only error in this set.

Textual Functions of the English Verbal Group
The description of the English verbal group has primarily focused on its formal elements, whereas natural language is form and situation. This paper exemplifies some of the textual functions of the verbal group using data from spoken instructional texts recorded in selected secondary schools in Lagos, Nigeria. Four subjects (Christian Religious Knowledge, Geography, Physics and Chemistry) and four teachers were involved in the study. The corpus size was 17 600 words and the data comprised 3 069 verbal groups. Each verbal group was carefully examined to determine its textual function(s) using situation-induced elements of natural language. Twenty-seven textual functions (e.g., describing entities) were identified. Present tense, BE, and imperative mood respectively expressed 74, 56 and 41 per cent of the functions. Although there was function overlap, this study has confirmed the fact that the formal features of the verbal group currently known grossly under-represent its textual functions in natural language.

Help is about to arrive for Huntley's boys basketball team.
Big-time help.
Red Raiders 6-foot-7 junior forward Amanze Egekeze, the McHenry County area's top college prospect, was cleared Monday by orthopedic surgeon Brian Cole and will return at 7 p.m. today when Huntley hosts Crystal Lake South in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game.
Egekeze had surgery on his right knee to alleviate the patellar tendinitis he had experienced throughout the spring and summer. It limited what he could do with his AAU team, the Illinois Wolves. He tried to rest when he could, but the pain persisted, so the surgery was performed by Cole on Sept. 25. Cole was the surgeon who repaired Bulls star Derrick Rose's ACL injury last spring.
"It's an amazing feeling," said Egekeze, a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection last season. "I felt a little helpless at times. Whether we won or lost, I felt I could have made an impact. It's a great feeling that I can do something about it now."
Huntley (8-5 overall, 2-0 FVC Valley) fared pretty well without Egekeze, who averaged 11.9 points a game and led the area with 65 blocked shots last season. Raiders coach Marty Manning is not sure what to expect in Egekeze's first few games back.
"I hope he just shows progress," Manning said. "He's already showed a little bit of progress since Wednesday when he came back with us. He won't be the defensive presence he has been because he doesn't have a lot of strength in his knee yet."
Fortunately for Egekeze though, he also doesn't have the pain either. He said his knee began hurting near the end of last high school season.
"Before, I couldn't touch the spot because it hurt too much," Egekeze said. "Now, there is no pain there. It doesn't hurt when I run around a lot either. We went the safe route and did it right. There's a little atrophy, but that will come back when I get in my normal routine."
Egekeze has done some running in practice and some drills. He spent a lot of time on the side shooting and working on ballhandling drills when the team was practicing full-speed. Huntley, the two-time defending FVC Valley champion, was able to grab division road wins at Jacobs and McHenry without its star player.
"We've done a good job," Manning said. "I had high expectations even without Amanze. We said this group was pretty good. I thought we could have had a couple other wins, but our goals are to win the [division] and win a regional title, and the losses we had haven't affected our goals."
Adams to North Park: Johnsburg catcher Cam Adams, who will be a fourth-year varsity player this spring, has committed to play baseball at NCAA Division III North Park University in Chicago next year.
Adams hit .303 with 22 RBIs and a home run last season for the Skyhawks. He split time with Brandon Krennrich at catcher. Adams had five doubles, two triples and scored 25 runs.
"When coach [Luke] Johnson came there five years ago, they were something like 5-43 and now it's almost the opposite," Adams said. "That was important. It's only an hour-and-a-half from my home and it's close to Wrigley, so I can catch a Cubs' game sometimes."
Adams said his father Don has health problems, so North Park's proximity was a key factor. He also plans on majoring in sports management and with the school in Chicago he feels that offers an advantage.
North Park saw Adams at an Area Code Showcase over the summer at Triton College. He also played for the Racine Hitters' travel program last summer.
"[North Park] liked what they saw at that tryout and watched me through August and the fall," Adams said.
He went to visit the school in November and recently committed.
