Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 - Updated ISO Version 005 - APR 05 2012
Lucid Puppy 5.2.8
Version 005 released
Version 220.127.116.11 released
The version in this thread (5.2.8-005) is the last version of Lucid Puppy coordinated by playdayz.
Forum member rerwin has prepared an updated version named Lucid 22.214.171.124
, which contains numerous updates, including the Puppy programs such as Pmusic, Pburn, and PupControl, etc., along with advances in hardware detection and drivers, as well as many updates in the basic infrastructure of all Puppies that have been introduced since the last version of Lucid. There are download links plus links to complete descriptions of the changes at the
new page for Lucid 126.96.36.199. ->
Is this for me?
Lucid 5.2.8 is the previous generation "Official Mainstream Puppy." The current holder of that honor is
Slacko Puppy
, which Puppy founder Barry Kauler says should be the "first stop" for newcomers to Puppy. Lucid 5.2.8 is a mature, well-tested product with a nice set of usability features, a good amount of available software, and a supportive user base.
How do I use this?
To use Lucid Puppy 5.2.8, download the ISO file, burn it on to a CD as an ISO image (not just as a file), then boot the CD. When you shut down, Puppy will offer to create a Save file, which it will use when you reboot. Alternatively, you can use the Puppy Universal Installer to install to a hard drive or usb flash disk. The ISO contains all current updates, so nothing else is necessary. Please see the Notes below for further details.
Which one do I use?
If you are new to Lupu then Lupu Plus will probably give you the best odds of everything working out of the box and a few of the programs have newer versions than regular Lupu. Three-Headed Dog has the same updates as Lupu Plus plus a newer kernel so it might work better on newer computers--there is at least one report confirming this. 3HD will run from RAM on a computer with 256 MB RAM; other versions require at least 384MB. Regular Lupu is the same as it ever was. The reason that Lupu and Lupu Plus were both released is that playdayz did not have time to coordinate further testing of Lupu Plus to the same standard as regular Lupu and previous releases of Lucid; however, Lupu Plus has proved itself over time and should now be considered the default Lupu 5.2.8.005

Lupu 528.005
Kernel sources for 126.96.36.199 kernel
Possible Issue
: If you have no video in gnome-mplayer please click the play icon on the desktop to open gnome-mplayer, then choose Edit -> Preferences, click the drop-down Video Output menu, and change to x11 (from xv). The video is set to xv by default because 1) it has higher quality, and 2) the DVD menus work better.
1) If you have previously used the Lucid 5.2.8 Live CD, it may have copied the lupu_528.sfs file to your hard drive. When the new CD boots it will use that lupu_528.sfs without telling you, so you need to delete it from your drive, or rename it, before you boot the new CD. This will happen even if the lupu_528.sfs is in a directory. 2) If you use a frugal install,. a simple trick is to download the ISO, click it to open it, and copy the lupu_528.sfs into the directory that holds the frugal install, replacing the old one.
Many of the programs in all versions of Lucid have been created by the members of the Puppy Linux community, who often continue to update them. Search for updates in the Additional Software section of the Puppy User Forums. Be aware the some updates, such as Pmusic, I believe, might require that you install newer supporting files (dependencies).
are the only current (meaning most recent version) browsers that work fully correctly in Lucid. They can automatically update themselves. They are both in the Lucid repo. You can download Firefox 25 now from a faster server ->
Experimental Version
SuperLuci 005
Same state of update as Three-Headed Dog 005 with kernel version 3.2.13. ->
Outdated Versions
- Lupu and Lupu Plus with old version of Libre Office
LupuLibre 528.005-2
with LibO 3.5.2 ->
Some features of Libre Office require java. Lupu Plus Libre includes java--you can add java to Lupu Libre from here
or the java pet in PPM. Don't forget to Quickpet -> More Pets -> Update Lupu PPM.

Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 is the fastest, friendliest, and most fun Lucid yet. It is the fastest because it is the first Lucid derivative to use the C and ffmpeg libraries optimized for i686 computers rather than the older i386 computers. It is the friendliest because special attention has been devoted to the user experience. For instance, 5.2.8 uses the Roxterm console which has copy and paste and other features like a text editor, rather than the older x-terminal. Lucid similarly uses an entirely new Control Panel that makes it easier to customize and configure Lucid to one's liking. Speaking of customizing Lucid, that is why it is so much fun. 5.2.8 includes more wallpapers and themes than any previous Lucid.
Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 has also received a thorough going-over under the hood. In addition to the faster libraries, there is new and updated firmware and drivers for many devices, courtesy of forum member tempestuous. Further, the hardware detection and configuration routines have been extensively tested and enhanced by forum member rerwin--who has tested the routines for over 3 months since prior to the release of Lucid 5.2.5. Finally, the overall look and feel, the friendly and fun stuff, has been influenced by experiments by forum member pemasu who has created a series of very popular Puppies since the release of 5.2.5. In his honor,
Lucid 5.2.8 is nicknamed Finlandia
Lucid 5.25 is the most leading-edge Lucid ever and a Five Digit Update from Lucid 5.2. It has
Bash 4.1.0
, an upgrade from Bash 3,
Syslinux 4.03
, an upgrade from Syslinux 3, and
e2fsprogs 1.41.14
, the latest from Ubuntu Natty. It now has
, up from 493. Gnumeric 1.10.13 (up from 1.10.12 in 5.2) is a necessity because our very own yarddog had posted a bug to Gnumeric that is corrected in 1.0.13. Lucid 5.2.1 uses the Woof of FEB 28 replacing the Woof of NOV 28 for 3 months of progress in Woof development.
The first thing up is a very tidy
dialog to accept or change video resolution, timezone, language/locale and keyboard. Next up could be the
Browser Installer
--which of the major browsers would you like to use--even more than one, with
allowing you to change which one you use as the default. And then there's
--with as much good stuff as a Swiss Army Knife. There are three tabs worth of great Linux programs that you can install with a single-click, all tested and configured for Lucid Puppy. There's another tab to install larger programs in the Puppy sfs format, also with a single-click of course. Still in Quickpet, there is a Drivers tab that will analyze your system and recommend which video driver you should use to get the best video--and click to install it. Finally in Quickpet is LupuNews, with one-click instant updates, recommended Tweaks (with links), and the latest News.
Quickpet will also open the
Puppy Package Manager
which is chock full of even more programs tested and configured for Lucid Puppy, including language packs for 11 different languages. PPM has other window managers ready to install, XFCE and Fluxbox, but Lucid even has JWM built in as an alternate--and of course a WM Switcher to make it all simple. Puppy is still a
compact distro, fast and lean
, but with all of these resources there is nothing it cannot do. We call it a
full-featured compact distro

I am glad to see this official release of puppy 5.28.
Once again, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the puppy community.
Just curious about one thing, why was 528 chosen over 529 as official release?
Looking forward to your involvement in more projects in the future.

Great !!! Honorable decision and this release shows how you can still improve LTS Lucid Puppy. All the long and tedious work has now the status it deserves.
Congratulations of this much more than bugfix release. And I want to thank you of being such good project leader.

Luci-529 (Three-Headed Dog) has a different kernel and that would mean a lot more testing to make sure all devices were OK. I am going to keep Three-Headed Dog as a derivative.

Wonderfull! I will take this version as my definitive wondows substitute with a full installation. No more frugality!. Hope this is a LTS, or not?
Many thanks to playdayz, Barry and all the people who made possible this pupp& version.

Yes, LTS. There are exciting new Puppies coming up in the next months and at some point Lucid will probably move to become a Puppy Derivative--as soon as there is something more or less similar to replace it. But whenever that happens I plan to maintain the derivative. Puppy Derivatives are cool--there are several I could use as my everyday Linux--if there weren't so many good ones.

Right now I'm downloading the Lupu-528.iso file, using the link supplied, and it's downloading very slowly.
i.e. about 50 kB/s, predicted to take 45 min to complete.
I'm using an XL Broadband connection, which is normally MUCH faster than this.
Contacted my Virgin ISP tech dept., and they reckon it's the site supplying the file that's slow.
ISO file download now completed...
Did this to edit the isolinux.cfg so pmedia=cd is changed to pmedia=ataflash.
The above was done so I can choose if/when to save or not to save during the session and/or at shutdown/reboot; explanations linked here.
CD-RW now burned using the altered ISO file.
Will probably try later to use this to update my present Lupu-526 pupsave installation.

Finally!! The lights are on and somebody is home!
Thank you very much
for this much improved version of Lucid Puppy
I consider this the best Puppy to recommend to someone new to Linux and Puppy.
I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected

It will update Lucid 5.2.5 or any previous versions of Lucid. Before updating please make a backup copy of your lupusave file. However,
a fresh install is always the easiest and that is what is recommended.
I'm an old, timid nooby.
Downloaded the iso onto my Acer Acer Aspire One (running frugal 525).
Left clicked the iso and copied all the files into /mnt/sda6/p528
Copied the existing part of menu.lst that referred to 525 and changed it, to
title NEW puppy 528
root (hd0,5)
kernel /p528/vmlinuz PDEV1=sda6 PMEDIA=satahd psubdir=p528 pfix=ram
initrd /p528/initrd.gz
Rebooted, chose the new one.
Bingo! A beautiful new Puppy!! Connects to Internet out of the box.

I'll take him because we need a pure PG but his size and stats are underwhelming. Hopefully he can thrive under Dant's system...anything is better than Du Du.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I have been a fan of Augustine in college. Unfortunately, I have not watched too many of his NBA games so I am not sure how he is transitioning.Charlotte Bobcats head coach Larry Brown and young point guard DJ. Augustin aren't getting along right about now and the word is that if things don't change, Augustin could be picking up a one-way ticket to the Big Apple, according to the New York Post.
The New York Knicks are certainly interested in Augustin. You'd think the team would want any possible replacement to Chris Duhon(notes) and Nate Robinson(notes) at this point. The two teams apparently spent some time talking about a possible deal for Augustin last off-season. "He was part of a bigger deal," the source told the Post.
One of Brown's greatest friends in basketball is Donnie Walsh, the Knicks president, so the phone lines are certainly open between to talk about potential deals. The word is that Brown would trade Augutstin but Michael Jordan doesn't want to do such a thing just yet.
I'll take him because we need a pure PG but his size and stats are underwhelming. Hopefully he can thrive under Dant's system...anything is better than Du Du.
I would say as of right now, Duhon is a better option at the pg than Augistine, Financially we would still keep duhon, and allow DJ to pick up back up minutes that should go to nate, question is what r we going to do with douglas ?
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
I was thinking about leaving this site because I've been reading a lot of stupid **** lately.
But nothing defeats what was stated above. Chris Duhon, seriously?
I just hope Knicks get D.J because I always wanted him and he will be a star in this system.
But I'm out...I can't handle the madness.
I said right now, future considerations maybe DJ is better, but I believe in Larry brown and if hes not playing DJ its for a reason, dude is average 5 ppg and 2 assists in 18 mins a game. I dont know what that means to you, but to me it means he isnt playing very well. The players like duhon, and on our winning steak he has been playing very solid, I feel like if we took on DJ there could be some chemistry issues going on, and I really dont see him panning out over his career as a legit pg, let duhons contract run out and move forward next year with tony douglas and some one else. I know you are set in your ways metro and if you hate a player you hate a player forever, but DJ isnt performing at all, you cant back a player putting up 5 and 2 a gm.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
My question is what are we giving up for him.
Want NYK analysis from a knicks fan's perspective? Visit my site at knickstop.blogspot.com
If Duhon can continue to play like he has the last two games then i can manage him, which for an ordinary nba point guard wouldn't be that hard to do, but i think we all know better then to expect his jumpers to fall like they have been for much longer...I think at the moment the team is working pretty well together, and until we fall off again i wouldn't change much, at least unless it's a semi major deal
I just look at the production of DJ this year, and regardless of demands by larry brown, you believe that Mike D i not a demanding coach, he has been sitting Lee down the stretch in fourth quarters because he cannot play defense, he benched our second leading scorer from last year nate. Mike D has never had to be strict because in pho he was blessed with leadership, hence our reasons behind going after grant hill and jason kidd this off season.
Either way I think their are better options than DJ, look at sessions we sweated this kid hard core and hes not playing back up for a rookie on a horrible basketball team putting up chris duhon numbers.
you cannot jump on everything unless the pieces moved are right, if we upload curry or jefferies( who I could see larry brown liking ) then im all for it, but if it means douglas losing minutes, or DJ comes ina nd does not produce i will be for ever pissed.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
That is the part that intrigues me. It's possible they are looking to move nate + curry/jj for DJ + ??? i wonder what kind of deal would be in the works? speculation on pieces from the bobcats that would fit there Finacially and chemistry wise?The two teams apparently spent some time talking about a possible deal for Augustin last off-season. "He was part of a bigger deal," the source told the Post.
Well we certainly should not get excited about a trade to the Bobcats. If something were to go through it's almost certainly going to be a straight swap of say Nate for Augustine + a filler contract.
Donnie is determined not to take on any contract that goes into 2010 and the Bobcats larger salaries are all long-term.
The only deal that could benefit us long term would involve Chandler or Stephen Jackson. Personally I wouldn't want to take on Jackson as his contract runs through 2013 and by that point his best days are going to be way behind him. I guess a Jackson/James or Jackson/Bosh combo could work but I wouldn't want to commit so much of our salary for so long when we could get much better players in 2011.
Chandler however would be great, if we could come up with a suitable package. Chandler is a strong 7 footer, blocks shots, rebounds, can alley/putback all game and can run the floorl. He would be a great addition to the team to entice a 2010 superstar however I very much doubt that the Bobcats want to trade him and it also doesn't aid our salary situation, it would put us +1 million over what we have now. It would mean we would HAVE to trade Jefferies to have any chance at a max contract + filling the team.
With all that said, 2 trades that could work are:
Nate/Hughes/Wilson for Chandler/Augustine/filler
Curry/Wilson/Nate for Chandler/Augustine/filler
Wouldn't be mad about either of those.

I have an over supply and too-strong letdown problem with my 5 week old. Early on, we had latch problems, so I saw a lactation consultant. She advised that I finish the first breast at each feeding, and noticed that I had an abundant supply. She said to burp during the feeding on the first breast to help with his gas problems, and then to put him back to that first breast while doing breast compression to help him get enough hindmilk. She said that he might not be interested in feeding from the second breast.
Basically, my LO never does eat from the second breast during a feeding, he's always full after the first. To stay comfortable and to build my freezer stash, I do sometimes pump the other breast, and usually get 3-4 ounces from it. So I believe that he's definitely getting a full feeding from the first breast, and he's gaining tons of weight and has lots of diapers.
Everything I've read about block feeding says to feed solely from one side for 2-3 hours. But since my LO eats about every 2.5-3 hours now, and only eats from one side, I'm basically already block feeding in 5-6 hour increments, right? The left breast would be used for every other feeding, so it would go 5-6 hours between feedings. But I'm still having way too much supply and I'm engorged most of the time. (I only pump the "unused" side during the feeding between 2 and 6 am, as that's when I'm most engorged, so hopefully that's not a huge factor in the oversupply).
I guess I'm not sure I understand how block feeding works, because it seems like I'm already doing it and it's not helping.

Although I did not get much of a chance to know Heather in the few months that our time at North Central coincided, her story illustrates a larger theme that is at the heart of the College's Sesquicentennial Capital Campaign: the vital role of liberal arts-based colleges like North Central in producing America's scientific leaders.
She credits North Central faculty members—Professor of Mathematics Emerita Shirley Wilson, Professor of Chemistry Emerita Anne Sherren, and Harold and Eva White Professor in the Liberal Arts David Horner—with setting her on the path to graduate school at Yale University and an endowed professorship at one of the great research universities in the world. Most telling are her words about recruiting the best students for her graduate program: "We compete with (the universities of) Wisconsin and Illinois for the top kids ... the students who are succeeding at small four-year colleges ... (who) are prepared and motivated to pursue doctoral degrees and research careers."
Liberal arts colleges as a group produce twice as many science Ph.D.s per graduate as baccalaureate institutions in general. If you want a Nobel Prize in chemistry, physics or medicine, your odds are much higher if you attend a liberal arts college as an undergraduate than a research university. More than one-fifth of the Nobel Laureates in these fields over the past 20 years graduated from liberal arts colleges—way out of proportion to the number of their graduates—including lesser-known schools such as Augsburg College and Lawrence University. The reason for the incredible impact of colleges like North Central (which numbers among its many distinguished graduates in the sciences Dr. Joseph Edward Rall, known as the "nurturer of Nobels" in his long tenure at the National Institutes of Health) is "hands-on," rigorous training from a student's first day on campus, grounded in undergraduate research, with close faculty mentoring. Liberal arts institutions are truly the "seed corn" of American science.
But as powerful as these facts are, and as great as the science faculty are at schools like North Central, liberal arts colleges are swimming uphill to sustain their historic role in 21st century science. In a fast-changing world of technological advances, "keeping up" with facilities has never been more challenging or costly. And without science facilities able to accommodate and exemplify 21st century science and new approaches to teaching that cross disciplinary boundaries, the students who can most benefit from what we offer are likely to look elsewhere (e.g., large public universities and community colleges with 500-student classes that can leverage taxpayer dollars to bond facilities). This is a challenge not only for North Central, but for dozens of other private colleges like us, with science buildings constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, when public and private monies for such facilities were far more forthcoming.
We're seeking $50 million for a new science center in the Sesquicentennial Campaign and we've got about $43 million to go. We're going to need some miracles—in particular, a "naming gift" of a size that the College has never before experienced—and hundreds and hundreds of smaller gifts. It's a lot to accomplish. But for the sake of generations of Heather Carlsons and Ed Ralls to come—and the future of American science—it is an effort that must succeed, a legacy for the ages of the College's Sesquicentennial.

Matthew McGuill died 36 years ago at the age of 15, according to his sister, Roselyn MGuill Whitehead.
Matthew was one of the first diagnosed patients with Prader Willi Syndrone.
"The decision was difficult, but my mom and dad allowed them to use his body for science," Whitehead said.
Prader-Willi Syndrome, or PWS, is the most common known genetic cause of life-threatening obesity in children.
Although the cause is complex it results from an abnormality on the 15th chromosome. It occurs in males and females equally and in all races.
On average, one in 15,000 can be afflicted with the syndrome.
"This walk is to remember him, but more importantly to bring awareness and understanding to this disease," Whitehead said.
Participants in the walk will gather by the Refugio County Library and at 8 a.m. and walk to St. James Catholic Church and back to the park.
Anybody who would like to make a donation can do so directly to the Prader Willi Syndrome Foundation via their website: http://www.pwsausa.org/. Matthew was the son of J.S. and Margaret McGuill.

Nedeau, who works at the Garza West Prison Unit in Beeville, was on his way home when he was one of the first to arrive at the one-vehicle crash scene that claimed the lives of 15 people.
"I got there just a couple of minutes after it happened, I guess," Nedeau said. "I was expecting to see more cars. That's what shocked me."
Nedeau immediately assisted those injured as much as he could. For his efforts, he was honored with a certificate of appreciation from the Goliad County Sheriff's Office.
"We are always grateful for the first responders - fire, EMS, officers - in situations like this, but we also wanted to acknowledge the Good Samaritan who stopped to render aid to his fellow man," Sheriff Kirby Brumby said.
(See Nedeau, Page 3A)
"Mainly, I just sat with the ones who were still alive," Nedeau said. "I held their hands and tried to keep them calm."
Eight of the 23 injured survived the crash. Nedeau said he and others tried to rescue a woman from the wreckage. The woman later died.
"Getting that girl out is what sticks in my head," Nedeau said. "We worked on her for so long to get her out."
Nedeau said it was the fifth time he has been one of the first to drive up on a wreck on U.S. Highway 59. Tragically, his first wife, Donna, died in a wreck on U.S. Highway 59 near Berclair in 2006.
"I appreciate the certificate," Nedeau said. "I don't do it for this. I hope if I'm in that situation, somebody else would do the same for me."

text: Wondering if this is common? I don't normally eat a whole lot of sugar, but over the holidays definitely had more. DD has been...extra restless lately. Waking up more frequently at night and today, only took two half hour naps. (normally takes 4 half hour naps spaced 2 hrs apart--it's like clockwork, freaks me out, haha) She's also been staying up a lot later over the past week or so-- will fight my efforts to get her down for the night until, well, like yesterday, 11pm. My DH was the one that put two and two together with the possibility of sugar maybe making her more wound up than normal. Thoughts?

Taste is good - very close to wheat pasta. Pasta holds together very well for hot or cold dishes (e.g. pasta salad). Needs cooking for a bit longer than says on the packet, but only a couple of minutes. Have already reordered and expect this to be a regular shopping list item.
Wow! This is very good. This brand of gluten free pasta is the best tasting gluten free pasta we have tasted. Very close to 'real' pasta, possibly even better. This fusilli tasted better than the other shapes from the same brand for some reason!? Our family would recommend this fusilli pasta to our friends and family. Thanks

Trying to avoid gluten is not easy, esspesially when you love pastas. This product helps me get my pasta without the nasties. Easy to cook, flavor is great. Only down side is the price, but I buy it as a once-a-week meal so I can afford it
Posted by 5261982071132900205 on Oct 24, 2014
The protein structure of this pasta breaks down and makes a soft, terrible, mushy texture. Flavor wise it is bland beyond redemption. There are better GF pastas out there. Not recommended.
Best gluten-free pasta ever!

Lining fences and decorating yards, pumpkins provide a splash of vivid color to the landscape and are a sure sign that fall has arrived.
Pumpkin harvest is in full swing for Davis Farms near Clovis, where pumpkins have grown for the last 18 years.
Jacqueline Davis said they ship the fruit to four states to be sold at grocery and discount stores.
"We ship to Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi," said Davis.
This year, she said they grew 75 acres of Magic Lantern pumpkins that are primarily used for carving jack-o-lanterns. The pumpkins will weigh from 15 to 18 pounds each and will be packaged on pallets and cardboard boxes and shipped by semi-truck, according to Davis.
"Ninety-nine percent of our business is jack-o-lantern pumpkins," she said.
Because of hail storms in the past three years, the Davises were unsuccessful harvesting their pumpkin crops. This year however, has proven to be better with an average crop, said Davis.
"Our crop is really good this year," she said.
Melrose Fruit Market manager Margie Plummer, who grows two to three acres of pumpkins to sell at the local farmers markets, is singing a slightly different tune. She has been successful in past years with her crop. But this year the weeds took over and the crop had to be plowed under.
Farmers in neighboring Parmer and Bailey counties in Texas have also faced their share of trials and tribulations for this year's harvest.
Rainfall in August had some effect on the pumpkin crops this year, said Monti Vandiver, Integrated Pest Management Extension Agent for Parmer and Bailey counties.
"The rain caused some of the vines to become disease ridden. Though there was some crop loss, the crops have been good," said Vandiver.
"On a whole, those that managed the disease are good."
According to Vandiver, farmers are working feverishly to get their pumpkins harvested before the end of October.
"If they wait too long, the crops will lose their market value, especially after Halloween is passed," said Vandiver.
According to Vandiver, pumpkins are a relatively minor crop in comparison to corn or wheat. If grown right, pumpkins can be a good crop for farmers, he says.
"They're a very showy crop and can be a very lucrative crop," said Vandiver.
According to Plummer, pumpkins come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Color of the pumpkins can range from salmon to green to orange, she said. Uses for pumpkins also vary, according to Plummer.
Some, like the Gold Rush variety, are used for jack-o-lanterns while the Cinderella variety is used for pumpkin pies and baking.
Pies, bread, muffins and soup are just a few of the things that can be made from pumpkins, said Plummer. But possibly the most unusual use for the fruit is as a feed for cattle. Plummer says that cows just love the orange treat.
The trend of pumpkins is changing from food usage to decorating purposes, says Plummer.
"The majority of people who buy pumpkins for food usage are of the older generation," Plummer laments. "People should eat pumpkins.
They are full of beta-carotene."

Not sure about that really. The PL era didn't just happen over a few weeks, it happened over several years giving a euphoric but not totally unexpected feeling. This has come from nowhere. People have stopped saying they come from 'near Leeds'. ...at least for now
It's probably more to do with being a lot lower down the leagues now.
Its great!!

I think AJ's guess is good. The guy is surrounded by willing ballerinas all day long.ReplyCancel
That's a good guess, AJ!ReplyCancel
Thought nic/Keith
But now agree with Reese
AJs answer sounds reasonableReplyCancel
Aww poor Natalie if it's true.
Also hey guys! No hangover 😀ReplyCancel
shaddup Jack!ReplyCancel
Yeah. I hope it's not Natalie, but it certainly fits.ReplyCancel
All of them.
@jack. Mini hangover here.
AJ has an interesting guess.ReplyCancel
Oh that was a great movie, wasn't it?ReplyCancel
I've loved Natalie since Where the Heart Is. That is still one of my favorite movies.ReplyCancel
Aww do you have a hangover, sandy?ReplyCancel
sorry to hear that, Reno. I don't have a hangover but I did wake up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep until 6.ReplyCancel
why are you screaming? I had to hold a wake for Tara.ReplyCancel

AJ got it. Didnt he cheat on his gf when he got Portman pregnantReplyCancel
He's French…that's how they do…I used to married to one…. Cest la vieReplyCancel
Leon The Professional is one of my very favourite movies AJ!
Yay no hangover, jack!ReplyCancel
It's teeny tiny. Just need to eat breakfast and I'll be right as rain.ReplyCancel
As SnookM points out –
I thought the same thing about Pirtman's dog being a cheater with Pirtman. I think the couple lived together, obviously Portman knew and did the dirty dog anyway.
Sorry to say that since that happened I don't see her appeal any longer. And, to me, she's looked really different since then, motherhood? I know some have a harder time than others. But I also wonder how happy she is in her coupling. A bad relationship often shows on people's faces. IMHO
Reese. . Jim toth must be auditioning late at night upcoming starletsReplyCancel
Agreed AJ…I'm w/ youReplyCancel
I feel Reese's piece on this one ,
but another consideration ?

No hangover here. Took it slow and had a good dinner tucked in there. Hit the hay at 10 and slept til 7. Things are good here. Just shaking the usual sleepies. Enjoying my morning jazz. Fats Waller's birthday today so getting lovely music from that era. The best. Morning all!ReplyCancel
Why would Reese's man cheat on her? DOESN'T HE KNOW WHO SHE IS?ReplyCancel
Salma Hayek.ReplyCancel
Michelle Pfeiffer–is she still A? For some reason, I'm thinking of weird different people to every blind today. Need sleep.ReplyCancel
Nic hasn't had sex with Keith in years, could be them. I'm just not sure he has to make up any excuses for her benefit.
It could easily be Portman's husband. I wouldn't blame him, she's so annoying. He would definitely have to make up excuses for her.
I agree, "Leon" is a great film. The best Portman has ever done or will ever do.ReplyCancel
I love "Where The Heart Is"…Farney Foreva!!! & "The Professional" another alltime Favs (wanted her to team up with Nikita!!! )ReplyCancel
i first saw natalie portman in beautiful girls when she was 14 with uma thirman and matt dillon and knew she was going to be a huge star.. it was her 2nd film. she was awesomeReplyCancel

Student Scholar Days
Application Process
Student Scholar Days is a multidisciplinary, two-day conference that is intended to highlight academic achievements of the undergraduate students in the many diverse majors at Adams State University.
Step One
Each major is asked to select undergraduate student projects (projects can have multiple student authors) that exemplify excellence as defined by that major.
Please make sure your selections are done through consultation with the other faculty members in your major. The selections will need to be made no later than February. The deadline for submission of the project application (see application packet) is 5:00 PM on Friday February 26, 2016.
Each selected student project's authors will have the opportunity to give a 20-minute presentation or create a printed poster. Departments are asked to select a faculty mentor who will assist the students in their preparations for the event.
Presentation structure will be determined by the faculty mentor and the student(s) involved, but each presentation must include some form of oral explanation of the project that is being presented.
Role of the Mentor
- Assist the student(s) in preparing the application packet

How far do we go?May 05,2014How far should Europe and the United States go, collectively, to blunt Vladimir Putins blatant aggression against Ukraine?
In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler tested the mettle of the democracies with his plan to forcefully occupy those parts of Europe he considered essential to Germanys prosperity.
As they are today in dealing with the Ukraine crisis, the worlds democracies back then were far from agreement as to how to respond to Hitler and Naziism.
Britain, the most powerful nation standing in Hitlers way, chose to look the other way, fearing that to do otherwise would trigger a second costly world war. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain favored appeasement and was supported by Joseph Kennedy, the American ambassador to Britain at the time.
Kennedy whose son John would one day become president of the United States predicted Germany would win if war were declared, and he urged Washington to let the British fight Hitler on their own.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt was sympathetic to the British but reluctant to intervene for fear that the powerful isolationist bloc in America led by Charles Lindbergh, the popular pioneer pilot and German sympathizer would weaken his own popularity with voters.
History tells us that Chamberlains embrace of appeasement cost him his job and earned him enduring scorn. He was replaced by Winston Churchill, who will be remembered for his strong leadership throughout the war that began when Germany invaded Poland.
History also tells us that Roosevelt eventually had no choice but to declare war on Germany but also on Italy and Japan (because of Pearl Harbor).
As the Ukraine situation continues to simultaneously stir up memories of appeasement and fears of a wider conflict, there will be an abundance of opinions and advice offered by politicians and pundits from all across the ideological spectrum.
But there are still important but unanswered questions to consider: How far is Putin willing to go to carry out what appears to be his determination to restore Russia to the kind of international power it was in the days of the Soviet Union (he was a KGB operative in those days) and what will the consequences be if the democracies agree to impose heavy economic sanctions on Russia?
Generally speaking, the American public cannot reliably anticipate the answers to these questions, and therefore it may appear difficult, if not downright treacherous, for our elected officials to embrace a particular strategic response.
And yet, like it or not, that is their responsibility. It took Roosevelt a long time to do what he needed to do, and his tentative approach surely cost many lives and extended the war. But he couldnt know that beforehand.
And neither can the consequences of the wests ultimate response to Putin be predicted with any certainty either. But if there is an emerging consensus both in Washington and Europe surely it is that Putin must not be allowed to get away with what hes trying to do.
I am alarmed by the worsening security situation in eastern Ukraine, Catherine Ashton, foreign policy chief of the European Union, said last week. The downward spiral of violence and intimidation undermines the normal functioning of the legitimate state institutions.
In a reversal of the situation in 1939, it is the Europeans who have shown the greater reluctance to impose sanctions, largely because their businesses are more dependent on good economic relations with Russia than their American counterparts.
A carefully calibrated response from the west is essential. Failure could lead to even greater global instability and right now theres already far too much of that.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

A New Year, a fresh start, rebirth. By next week how many of us will have already broken our New Year's resolutions? The answer is: most of us. But there's no shame in it, we're all in it together. There is simply an international lack of will power when it comes to New Year's resolutions.
In 2009 Jonah Lehrer, author of "How We Decide," wrote, "Given its limitations, New Year's resolutions are exactly the wrong way to change our behavior. It makes no sense to try to quit smoking and lose weight at the same time, or to clean the apartment and give up wine in the same month. Instead, we should respect the feebleness of self-control, and spread our resolutions out over the entire year."
But remember the old proverb "A beautiful thing is never perfect" and anyway we can always try again next year!
Here's a list of Ireland's top New Year's Resolutions:

Let's say that after reading a few articles about the benefits of yoga [5], you decide to try it yourself. You buy a mat, find a nearby class, and put on some stretchy pants. But when you get to the studio and see other students walking confidently in, their mats slung over their shoulders, you begin to feel strange. Your heart rate speeds up, your palms grow sweaty, and you think, Why in the world did I ever think I could do this?
This shaky feeling is vulnerability, and it makes you want to turn around and go home, where you can escape the potential judgment of others and your own fear of the unfamiliar.
But by pushing through those doors, you are doing something far more healthy and transformative, according to Brené Brown, a professor and vulnerability researcher at the University of Houston. In fact, "vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center of meaningful human experiences," she says.
Dr. Brown recently visited the University of Minnesota as a speaker for the Center for Spirituality and Healing's Wellbeing Series [6] and shared some of the insights that come from her research. After twelve years studying vulnerability and shame, she has arrived at a surprising conclusion: what scares us is sometimes actually good for us, and if we can stomach sitting with it, vulnerability has the potential to transform itself into joy.
In her new book, Daring Greatly, Brené Brown describes vulnerability as "uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure." It's that unstable feeling we get when we step out of our comfort zone or do something that forces us to loosen control.
Dr. Brown's book debunks some myths about vulnerability, the most popular being that vulnerability is a sign of weakness. When we think of times that we have felt vulnerable or emotionally exposed, we are actually recalling times of great courage. These may be huge life events, like deciding to put an ailing parent in hospice care [7], but it's just as present in those small moments of fear that pop up when we share our feelings with another person or ask for forgiveness.
"What most of us fail to understand...is that vulnerability is also the cradle of the emotions and experiences that we crave," says Dr. Brown. "Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy courage, empathy, and creativity." So while going to that new yoga class may feel uncomfortable, you're also opening yourself up to the opportunity to make new friends and learn a new, healthy habit. But if you run away the second those shaky feelings arise, you're just reinforcing the voice in your head that says I'm not good enough.
That insecurity is present in all of us, and it's so strong that we often go out of our way to avoid situations that might make us feel fragile. In Dr. Brown's talk at the University of Minnesota, she described the ways we try to sidestep the shaky feeling of vulnerability. We emotionally "armor up" each morning when we face the day to avoid feeling shame, anxiety [8], uncertainty, and fear. The particular armor changes from person to person, but it usually revolves around one of three methods: striving for perfection, numbing out, or disrupting joyful moments by "dress rehearsing tragedy" and imagining all the ways that things could go wrong. Do any of these sound familiar?
All of these types of armor can make us feel safe and "in control" in the moment, but they're really doing us more harm than good. "Perfectionism is a 20-ton shield-we think it will protect us but it keeps us from being seen," notes Dr. Brown. Numbing our emotions is damaging because it has a widespread effect-you can't numb fear without numbing joy at the same time.
The urge to imagine the worst-case scenario in moments of joy (such as not being able to enjoy a hug with your child without worrying about something bad happening to him) is an amazingly common phenomenon, according to Brené Brown's research. And why is it so hard for us to soften into joy? "Because we're trying to beat vulnerability to the punch," says Dr. Brown. But this has a negative impact, for without vulnerability, there is no love, no belonging, and no joy.
It's important to begin to recognize those fragile moments of vulnerability and work with them. Mindfulness is a good place to start. Adopting a practice of openness and awareness of your environment as well as your own thoughts, feelings, and triggers will help you recognize when you're disengaging because you're afraid.
After you become aware of where you are, you will be more certain about what changes you would like to see in your life. In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown describes this attentiveness as "pay[ing] attention to the space between where we're actually standing and where we want to be."
Here are some things to keep in mind as you practice "daring greatly" in your own life:

Refugio quarterback Travis Quintanilla broke the statewide record for touchdown passes in a single game by throwing 10 touchdown passes for the night. The previous record was nine, set by Fort Worth Southwest's Wesley Harris last season.
"We are very proud of Travis and the entire team for such a prestigious accomplishment," said head coach Jason Herring.
The Bobcats attacked mostly through the air during the game but it would be Chase Whetsel who would score the defending state champs' only rushing touchdown on the Cats' first possession. Barging in from 9 yards out, Whetsel put the first 6 points up on what would prove to be a busy scoreboard on this night.
Adolfo Cordero put the icing on the cake with yet another perfect game of extra points. Cordero was 10 for 10 on the night.
Quintanilla then went to the air later in the first quarter targeting Marcus Thompson on a 43-yard touchdown pass to make the score 14-0.
In the waning seconds of the first period, Quintanilla hooked up with Whetsel on a 64-yard bomb for another Bobcat score.
Quintanilla would throw three more TD passes in the second quarter. The first to Juan Ramirez for 26 yards, the second to Thompson again for 60 yards and one to Draigon Silvas for 28 yards to make the score 42-0 going into the half.
Quintanilla was 8 for 8 with 297 yards in the first half. The Bobcat defense was also solid in the first half with crushing plays by Jim LaFond, Jake Henderson, and John Wesley Shipp.
Quarterback Quintanilla continued the air assault in the third period with 2 touchdown passes, the first coming on a 7-yard hookup with Juan Ramirez. A two-point conversion pass from Brett Davis to Devon LaFrance would put the score at 50-0. The lead was extended to 57 points on a 14-yard pass to Tyler Castellano going into the final quarter.
The defense got into the act by backing Taft into their own end zone and causing a safety in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter to make it 59-0.
Quintanilla capped off his stellar performance with three more touchdown passes in just 7 minutes.
Tyler Castellano caught a second pass for a 37-yard touchdown early in the period. Thompson caught his third TD pass for the night for an 11-yard score, and Juan Ramirez snagged his third of the game for 17 yards to top the score at 80-0.
The Bobcats travel this week to Hebbronville to take on the Longhorns this Friday night. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. in Hebbronville.

It took six weeks, but a guy actually got kicked off "American Idol" on Thursday.
And no, it wasn't Stefano Langone.
Instead, Paul McDonald became the first of the six "Idol" men eliminated. The Alabama native with a voice swiped from Rod Stewart and jackets purloined from Liberace's closet was praised nearly every week for his unique voice, but the combination of an unfavorably early timeslot and a forgettable vocal of "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" was enough to make him the lowest vote-getter.Story: Sorry, ladies. 'Idol's' just not that into you
He sounded much better in his final performance, playing Stewart's "Maggie May" as his going home song. That was the number that got him through the Nashville auditions and won him so many fans in his semifinal solo. But Bob Seger's tune wasn't as kind to him as Stewart's was, so out he goes.
It was another close call for Langone, who's dodged enough bullets to be cast in a "Matrix" remake. Langone needed a wild-card slot from the judges just to make the final 13, and has been in the bottom three for three of the past four weeks. In every case, he's been the last survivor standing, being onstage with Naima Adedapo and Thia Megia when they went off on double elimination week, with Pia Toscano a week ago and with McDonald on Thursday.

Note to the other six remaining finalists: Stay away from him at social events this week. Being near him is apparently bad luck.
Reinhart survives
Though no woman got the boot, it was too much to expect that both Lauren Alaina and Haley Reinhart would avoid the danger zone entirely. In fact, it was Reinhart who was the third member of the bottom three.
It was one of the first times all season that the always-smiling singer looked nervous, perhaps because she'd forgotten how it felt to be in such trouble. She hasn't had to sit on one of the stools of shame since the first two weeks of the finals, but fortunately survived another week to make this slightly less of a male-dominated season.Story: Are 'Idol's' Casey and Haley a couple?
Her save came after she and Casey Abrams performed a duet of "Moanin' " that might be the best such performance in recent results show history. The two work very well together musically, and especially considering it was a jazz number, they played off each other flawlessly. If this becomes available as a download, it should easily outsell both of their solos from Wednesday's performance episode.Story: Are 'Idol's' Casey and Haley a couple?
Sex symbol?
Regardless of whether Abrams wins or not, "American Idol" is doing wonders for his social life.

Kelly Clarkson, the season one winner who performed with a giant cowboy hat that apparently was hiding Jason Aldean under it, confirmed her positive opinion of Abrams' good looks. Though she accused host Ryan Seacrest of paraphrasing her tweets, she did acknowledge of Abrams that "he's certainly delicious. He's cute." Between that and J.Lo calling him sexy earlier in the competition, he's poised to be a big hit with the ladies.Story: 'Idols' ignore advice and do their own thing
He also made "Idol" history as the first person to cite Jack Black as a musical role model. When Abrams asked guest lecturer Rob Reiner whether the movie legend thought he could be a great singer and actor like Black is, Reiner noted drily that Black would be thrilled to be complimented for his singing voice. That's putting it mildly.
Reiner also exposed a dark side of the Hollywood scene when he said that "From Justin to Kelly" was snubbed by the Oscar voters back in the day "for political reasons." "Idol" viewers have long suspected such shenanigans were the only reason Clarkson and Justin Guarini didn't sweep the major acting awards, but it was nice to get that confirmed.

- Abstract
- This study reports the ballistic impact performance of sandwich panel consisting of Kevlar woven fabric and recycled materials, namely, titanium chips. Aluminium foam and honeycomb structures are well known lightweight materials for energy absorption typically used in crash worthiness application. Titanium is also a lightweight material compared with steel, however it possesses much higher energy absorption capabilities than aluminium. The enhancement of Kevlar woven fabric in titanium chips further strengthens sandwich panel especially in ballistic impact performance. The arrangement of Kevlar woven fabric had a significant effect on the overall energy absorption of the panel. Similarly. bonding of the titanium chips with a polymeric material is crucial for the overall ballistic performance. The result of this study demonstrated a new composite material could be an alternative compared with the conventional aluminium foam and honeycomb sandwich panel.

Hard to Knock the Obama-Sox Line
"It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago."
— Dan Quayle, 44th Vice President
Dear readers, the dust never seems to settle on the always emotional Chicago baseball debate. An incessant contest of he-said/she-said peppered with never-ending rapid fire quips that are as old as the milk in my refrigerator (that's really old), this argument (like Republican attack ads) simply will not go away. Just when I thought everything had been said ad nauseum, message boards and blogospheres started to blow up again with more of the same…
Like in *this recent story* where presidential hopeful Barack Obama is blasted by commentors galore for his remark:
"You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful
people up there. People aren't watching the game. It's not serious.
White Sox, that's baseball. Southside."
Come on, folks. Why act like you've never heard this before? The sentiment is as old as the argument itself. The Sox fan says this and the Cubs fan comes back with: Remember the Black Sox.
Sox Fan: Well, remember the goat.
Cubs Fan: Oh, yeah, well remember we pack the house for every game while you're lucky to have a handful of fans in the stands.
Sox Fan: Oh, really? Yeah? Well, try not winning a world series for a 100 years.
And so on and so on until the end of time or until someone gets hurt.
I think the bigger, more admirable story here is that Barack Obama chooses to distance himself from the popular political move of making everyone happy. He's a Sox fan. He's sticking to it even if that means pissing off a great number of his constituents. I think it's safe to say that his steadfast affiliation with the Southside is a great breath of fresh air after the fallout from the much publicized Rudy Giuliani fiasco, not to mention Hillary Clinton's adamant declaration to be a die hard Cubs fan, then a Yankees fan, then a Cubs fan again.
Politicians live under a microscope and they have a reputation for being sleazy for a damn good reason.
Barack Obama's decision to stray from the same-old-politics is important. Like we everyday US Americans, Obama has his team and he's gonna stick with them — no matter what.
I find it quite difficult to even find a solid argument against that so don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Why are we all of a sudden getting so much love from the administrators? First I'm on the MLB front page, now you? What's going on?
I think I can forget about being on "A Shot At Love"; my fiancee said I can go if she can go on "Rock Of Love With Bret Michaels"; I believe she was kidding. I know a perfect candidate in my stead with whom little Tila can find love—former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer; he can bring his black socks along with him too.
Your two sites are beginning to dominate the front page of MLB. You are essentially the Yankees and Red Sox of Blogs.
Yeah, couldn't agree more. It is like four or five different appearances between the two of you. I got quoted in only my third entry. I was ecstatic at first, but then was like "that's another thing I can't look forward to anymore". But you have showed me it is possible to be quoted twice!
Is it Mark who chooses the quote daily? Is it someone's job to read everyone's blog? I think I may have a have a future dream job…
Paul is right: heresy indeed. I don't really know who decides on the quotes, Aaron. I doubt it's Mark since he's been off doing myriad things (like going to China). I like it though. I know at least someone is reading… kind of motivates me. My cohort, Allen, has yet to experience what it is like to be motivated. Take that, Al. And bring on Tila — without makeup please.
I think the next quote should be: The Yankees stink and they know it. [My frustration is getting the better of me.]
That argument btw a Cubs and Sox fans sounds like an argument I would have at school with Mets fans. Can you believe we actually argued about who had the crappiest team and argued for our own team? Granted, we were trying to prove who had it the easiest but still, it was pretty funny. I didn't have to do much to win that argument. Just listed the 20 or so people that have spent time on the DL or have been M.I.A. [Hughes, Wang, Kennedy, Matsui, A-Rod, Damon, Bruney…. I can seriously keep on going forever.] However, despite the monumental amount of bad luck the Yanks have been served up with this season… they simply stink, and they know it.

Jeff, on another subject entirely, are you slipping in your pursuit of photogenic chicks? You've missed out on Ana Ivanovic—-http://www.sportsmansdaily.com/images/ana-ivanovic11_001.jpg
Thanks, Prince. Now I have to cancel ALL my plans for this evening. Jeesh. I know… I've been slacking. Give me time. Give me some time.

The Sun Did Come Out Today!
I mentioned before that after every Dodger win the song "I Love LA" is played. Well, when we lose (and this is the first one at Dodger Stadium this year), we hear "The Sun will Come out Tomorrow.". Well, the sun did come out today! Is a beautiful day. We scored 6 runs yesterday with Matt Kemp hitting a grand slam. We thought that would be enough but no… The streak is over but we still broke the record seet in 1911 for most consecutive wins at home. Even without Manny this is an exciting Team!
You could see in the different parking lots that there was extra media at the stadium with Joe Torre's conference at 4;30. I was able to get James Loney's attention while he was stretching to wish him a happy birthday. I joined my cousins in the field level, yes, we were winning 6-0 and the bullpen let it get away but we still had a wonderful time at the stadium.
It was Turn Back the Clock Night and the first 30,000 fans got 1959 Retro Radio (courtesy of the flag station KABC) to commemorate the first championship in Los Angeles! The radio is pretty retro and I also love the box!
Members of the 1959 team were introduced. Some were signing autographs by aisle 7. I saw a fan with a 1959 Dodger program. What a great thing to have! Wally Moon signed my program (the latest one) in an insert picture of him.
I will be back at the stadium tonight for the first of a three game series against the Giants. Heck I have not missed a game this year. Barry zito (0-2) goes against our ace Chad Billingsley (5-0) Go Chad! Go Dodgers!
If you are at the stadium and can look up to where Vin Scully sit, notice that he gets up during the 7th inning stretch to sing with the rest of us. We Love You VIN!!
Let's Go Dodgers!

EMMA – love the radio. I was just able to view you past 3 posts, Magical Castle, Manny Suspended – Happy B-day Loney and this last one. The view from Dodger Stadium is so relaxing, with trees and hills surrounding us and of course the "THINK BLUE" sign (as famouse as our HOLLYWOOD sign). I've said enough about Manny 's situation – LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LIFE GOES ON. I do hope that after the whole Manny thing and the last nights game, I just hope LONEY had a great birthday. If not he can celebrate with fireworks tonight after kicking the Giants butt🙂 LOL! I will not be able to watch tonights game SNIFF SNIFF (I'll be having Sushi Mmmm! with my sisters in honor of my olders sisters birthday) but I hope that you have a great time and that the Dodgers have a big WIN! Oh yeah I just have to mention that my MARTIN is baaaack! LET'S GO DODGERS!
You haven't missed a game this year? That's hardcore, Emma! Lucky you. Have a great time tonight and enjoy your new/retro radio. It's pretty cool.
OOPS meant to say "I do hope that after the whole Manny thing and LAST NIGHTS LOST, I just hope LONEY had a great b-day" it must of been a tongue twister
Thanks ! I am looking forward to the game and fireworks set to the music from 1959! Mack the Night! Frankie Avalon, Paul Anka, etc.
God willing, the only games I will miss are three in June when I have to take a business trip to N.H.
Martin is picking up speed and so is Loney. I am going to Kabuki in Pasadena next Thursday to just celebrate with friends from the train. hopefully after your celebration you will continue to celebrate with a win!
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say "It's alright"
Little darling, the smile's returning to their faces
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say "It's alright"
Sun, sun, sun, let it come…

Hi Emma! Sad situation, but we'll make the most of it. That transistor radio looks awesome, must've been nice hearing Vin's Voice on every level.
Some will say "Without Manny, you couldn't hold a 6-0 lead against the worst team in baseball" (Manny pitches?). The way I look at it, without Manny, we made a 10-6 game a 11-9 game, threatening to the end. There's a LOT to like in this Dodgers squad, like any of us need to be told that.
Give the Giants hell for me!
Haven't missed a game this year? That's so cool🙂. What an incredible season opener for the Dodgers (winning all the games at home, I mean). And even without Manny, MLB Network is praising your lineup.
Great looking radio!! It's amazing what cool giveaways other teams have, especially those that draw so well anyway!!
Thanks for your comments!! I appreciate them.
Love the song! Awesome win last night! Stultz! you are the man! and Kemp! Wow! he has been making great defensive plays! Good for Juan P that is making the most of his opportunities with 3 hits last night.
I was getting so used to singing "I LOVE LA" with those 13 wins in a row at home.
Love the radio and even more the box it came in because of the nostalgic pictures all around.
I'm just catching up on all the blogs I didn't read over the weekend, being busy with the kids and all. So I have to ask, does the radio get stations besides KABC, or is it permanently tuned to that one? Either way, it is pretty cool-looking!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
The radio is set only to KABC which is fine since that is what I would listen to AM. I do have my radio I take to the staidum so for me this giveway goes on display at home. The box is so retro. I can't believe some fans discarded the box. It has an old black and white picture of a very young Vin Scully, a picture of a the pennant from that year. It is just so cool.
