Ice Cream Helmets, anyone?
So, Tim likes to eat chocolate ice cream at every park we visit, and he prefers it in a little baseball helmet. So far, we have collected at least one helmet from every stadium Tim has visited except for Camden Yards (where they do not offer ice cream helmets) and old Yankee Stadium (where we simply never even looked for one). Here are some pictures of our ice cream helmet collection:
Seattle Mariners – Safeco Field
($7.00 – real ice cream, five flavor selections including chocolate chip cookie dough, strawberry cheesecake, mint chocolate chip, double fudge brownie…and one other).
Cincinnati Reds – Great American Ball Park Philadelphia Phillies – Citizens Bank Park
$5.00 – chocolate, vanilla or twist
Soft serve, not real ice cream
sprinkle toppings available
Buy behind 3B where they give HUGE servings!
New York Mets – Citi Field (2009) New York Mets – Shea Stadium (2008)
($6.50 – soft serve ice cream – chocolate, vanilla or twist – sprinkles and chocolate fudge toppings available)
Cleveland Indians – Progressive Field Arizona Diamondbacks – Chase Field
– several flavors of real ice cream
Pittsburgh Pirates – PNC Park (2008) Washington Nationals – Nationals Park (2009)
($5.00 soft serve or real ice cream)
Boston Red Sox – Fenway Park (2009) New York Yankees – Yankee Stadium (2009)
-$5.50 – soft serve – oreo toppings in RF -$6.50 – soft serve – sprinkles in bleachers
Chicago Cubs – Wrigley Field (2009) Chicago White Sox – U.S. Cellular Field (2009)
Minnesota Twins – HHH Metrodome (2009) Blue Jays – Rogers Centre (2009)
– $4.50 (I think…cheapest I've seen) – $6.00 (Can. or U.S.)
– Soft serve ice cream – Soft serve ice cream
– sprinkles and chocolate sauce toppings – sprinkles or topping sauces
Milwaukee Brewers – Miller Park (2009)
– Big Helmet: Cheese Fries ($6.50)
– Ice cream helmet – soft serve – hot fudge, strawberry, etc. toppings.
From the time we first tried to buy one in 2007 and continuing through 2009, the Orioles have not had ice cream helmets. Was was pretty frustrating because it was the only helmet we couldn't get out of the 18 stadiums Tim and I visited during those years. Getting the O's to offer ice cream helmets became a goal of mine. So I started a grass roots campaign in March 2010 and mere hours before the O's 2010 home opener word came in from the O's and the rest of the Project Baltimore team, the O's had listened and would offer ice cream helmets in 2010.
These last ones are from the Reading Phillies, the" Doube A" affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
We plan to get several more ice cream helmets this season — provided the stadiums have them. I will update this entry as more helmets are acquired.
We plan to seek out the following helmets in 2010: Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland Atheletics, San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres, California Angels of Anaheim.
In the meantime, why doesn't everyone write to the Orioles and urge them to start offering ice cream helmets. Camden Yards is the only stadium we have ever visited that does not offer ice cream helmets. In fact, in October 2009, we had to take matters into our own hands and "Bring Your Own Ice Cream Helmet" for the final game of the 2009 season:

No ice cream helmets? Crazy birds… I like Rocky Road ice cream in my helmet. The picture in the last entry of Tim sitting on your shoulders and staring back at the field is priceless! Best of luck on your noble ice cream quest!
Hey! This is Brian, from Zack Hample's blog. Nice site, I like all the entries. The Ballpark in Arlington stopped doing ice cream helmets last year (they also used to do cheese fries in a slightly larger helmet!). I think I might still have some of both around the house if you would like me to send you some. I know it may not be the same if you don't get them yourself, but you won't find these anywhere (except for maybe ebay). My email is firstname.lastname@example.com, feel free to email me with your mailing address if you want & I will be more than happy to send you some. Have fun on your future trips!
At a restaurant near my house, when I was younger, the dessert ice cream sundae would be served in a helmet, and I now have helmets from the Braves to Phillies, and even a Montreal Expos helmet. I even got one signed at a met game in June.

While parts of west-central Wisconsin were buried under a foot of snow overnight, Milwaukee set a record with its 280th straight day without measurable snowfall.
The National Weather Service last recorded snowfall there on March 4, when just under an inch fell.
The old record was 279 days, set in 1999. Milwaukee tied that record Saturday and beat it when Sunday ended with no snow.
Meteorologist J.J. Wood said there's a good chance to extend the record. He said the area isn't expected to see snow before the weekend.
He said Milwaukee got lucky because storms that might have hit it veered off to the north and west. But he said residents shouldn't infer that the whole winter will be mild. He says winter snowfall, as usual, will be unpredictable.

I show up at a field that I never been to before for some rec-play wearing cargo pants with a t-shirt....carrying a old mech Spyder and two pringle potato chip cans for pods shoved in the pants pockets.

red spring does not come with phantoms... I personally think phantoms are a more adaptable choice for a first pump gun, they can handle stock class pretty well, some would argue top notch if you know what you are doing, and they can also handle open class, maybe not as well as an AKP out of the box or for similar/same prices, but to me a phantom is a more diverse choice because it gives you options, unless you know your whole time owning the gun you are going to play open class, In my opinion (which is merely an opinion) the phantom would be a good choice
akp's are good too, very nice starters for open class
Please feel free to private message me if you have a question about something I've posted!
If you show me an inch, I'll show you the dead-box.

CNJ staff photo: Sharna Johnson Air Force Tech. Sgt. Clifton McFadden feeds his daughter Nadia a strawberry after his graduation Friday at Wayland Baptist University. McFadden, a vehicle mechanic at Cannon Air Force Base, earned his bachelor's degree in management.
By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
Recognized for their personal sacrifice and challenges overcome, more than three dozen men and women marched across the stage at Central Baptist Church Friday morning.
The 39 students received degrees during the commencement exercises for the Clovis campus of Wayland Baptist University.
This year, Wayland celebrates 10 years in Clovis and at Cannon Air Force Base, campus dean Gary Mitchell said.
Mitchell acknowledged the majority of graduates are non-traditional students balancing work, families and military service with their pursuit of higher education.
Graduates hailed from 14 states and Puerto Rico with 11 native to Clovis, he said.
"These graduates represent a mixture of active-duty military, retired military and civilians," he told the gathering.
"Many of you have made major sacrifices to get to this point. Well, you've done it and we knew that you could."
Col. Babette M. Lenfant, 27th Fighter Wing Mission Support Group commander, also spoke to the graduates.
"I encourage you and I challenge you to keep it up and never stop learning. … I salute you all for what you have accomplished," she said.
Higher education increases earning potential and quality of life, and works toward the overall good of society, Associate Vice President of External Campuses Elane Seebo told the group.
"You've raised the bar and you're setting the standard for your children," she said.
Quoting Mahatma Ghandi, an Indian political and spiritual leader, she told the graduates, "We must be the change that we want to see in the world."
After the ceremony, graduates, friends and families gathered in the church foyer for refreshments.
Clifton and Teresa McFadden sat feeding fruit pieces to their young daughter Nadia.
Getting his bachelor's degree in management took two years at Wayland Baptist University "and a bunch more (years) before that," 38-year-old Clifton McFadden said laughing.
While he said working toward his degree wasn't "that bad," Teresa McFadden smiled and said it wasn't all easy.
An Air Force technical sergeant at Cannon Air Force Base, Clifton McFadden said he isn't sure what is in his future, but he's glad to have the degree under his belt.

I can confirm further down the food chain sexism is alive and well in the sport of tennis - my good lady picks up an awful lot of work not because she's the best qualified coach available but the only female one and for some reason, even when they stay and watch there's more than a few parents don't want men coaching there kids.
Will male tennis players now be able to claim 'damages' for playing more tennis than women at Wimbledon over the years?
On the odd occasion I've taken my daughter to local play groups, as opposed to play centres, I've found it quite intimidating and I don't intimidate easily! I guess any "newcomer" into a group who meets regulary is viewed with suspecion, it probably just feels more intense when your the only bloke!
There is a general assumption that it will be women who are doing the caring. The local soft play has "mums and toddlers" groups but never a "dads and toddlers" or even a "parents and toddlers" group for example.
I go along to it sometimes, and am usually the only male over the age of three. Sadly, it is not at all like "About a Boy" and I haven't yet met anyone who looks like Rachel Weisz.
Noone seems to mind that I'm there, but a lot of the discussions are about things I just don't care about (eg breastfeeding) or simply would rather not know about (eg episiotomies). I tend to play with my little one in the ball pool or whatever and leave the women to get on with it.
Thankfully, the days of changing facilities only being in the ladies seem to be largely over. On the odd occasion when I've been caught out by that I've just gone into the ladies loos and got on with it. Noone has ever complained, and if they did I'd tell them to get lost.
There are issues, but I tend to think they're minor compared with the benefits of looking after the little one personally. If a bit of stick and some career trouble stopped me being a father, what kind of father would I be?
I suppose not all fathers would feel the same though.

The breakfast is an annual event that continues to grow, Superintendent Dr. Paul Clore said.
"If you look across the room, we are beginning to fill this breakfast every year," he said. "It's a long standing tradition at Gregory-Portland."
Assistant Superintendent Darla Czerwinski said the district hired 66 new staff members for the upcoming school year, including 54 teachers. Three of those teachers will also coach athletics.
"Eleven of the positions are new, due to growth," Czerwinski said.
Various business and community leaders introduced new teachers at the breakfast. Dee Ezell, a member of Portland's Chatwork Civic Club, made sure to be the first to make introductions, as she was excited to introduce her granddaughter. Portland Mayor David Krebs, Portland Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Dick Myers, Gregory-Portland Junior High Vice President Rosemary Vaseliades, and Gregory-Portland ISD Payroll Supervisor Cheryl Stephens were among the community leaders to introduce new staff.
Clore assured new teachers that the district's school board would be helpful.
"You have one of the most stable school boards in the state of Texas," he said. "It is part of what helps this school district be the great school district it is."
Clore noted that the breakfast featured the largest group of personnel to be introduced within the one-hour time frame allotted for the event. The turnout is representative of the district's recent growth.
"Our enrollment is beginning to grow more rapidly now than it has ever grown before," Clore said.

Last exhibition games at OLOCR, Opening Day at San Diego & Vacation
Last night I attended the only exhibition game against the Angels. What was up with that? We usually play them for 3 games! Tonight we face Milwaukee for two exhibition games then my beloved Dodgers fly to San Francisco for one exhibition game then to San Diego for Monday Opening Day there. What a crazy way to end exhibition and start the season!
Last night it was reunion day greeting and hugging the same people that I see day in and day out during the baseball season. Not everyone has made it back yet but tonight, tomorrow night and Opening Day I'll get to see the rest. My brother said that he was observing me and that I looked like a fish in water when I get to the stadium. I LOVE IT THERE!
I was and still is fighting a cold. I dont want to get sick!!! I got games to see and the trip to San Diego to catch a couple of games there! I stocked up this morning on Dayquil and I am drinking lots of liquids.
I put on the board at work the vacation days I am taking. Someone drew a baseball next to it🙂.
I don't care if it is exhibtion but is always good to beat the Angels! Bragging rights on the train with two Angel fans there! How sweeet.
I bought a a new Big 5 Scorebook, I got pencils, I got my radio, my binos, my glove, my tickets, my sunblock, my cold medicine in case I need it. I am ready for tonight!
Bring on the Brew Crew because our Big Blue Wrecking Crew is back!!
Like Vin Scully sayd "Is Time for Dodger Baseball"
Oh is also Fireworks night and the game time for Friday nights have been changed from 7:40 to 7;10 to accomodate that now we have Fireworks every Friday.

Have a great time at the ballpark tonight! I'm watching the Yankees-Cubs exhibition game at the new Stadium right now and wish I could be there in person.
I started posting here but was having trouble yesterday….anyhoo….
Jane, I watched part of the Yankees-Cubs game. Stadium looks beautiful. I bet you wanted to be there. Did you make it to Dodger Stadium the last time the Yankees came to town for interleague.?
Julia, I had a good time, except we got beat 7-2. Billingsley lost the game but he pitched well only giving out 2 runs. Sturtze did not fair well.
Emma, beat the Angels any time you can! I know that's not too many games, but it counts! I have an Angels fan in the house, and I take pride each and every time i can say they lost!!!
Canuck! I would love for the Dodgers to beat them during interleague! In the Dodger Booster club we have a competition of what booster club (Dodgers or Angels) collect more blood during the blood drive. I know everyone wins in that but I still like for us to beat them.
Have fun this season, Emma, but try not to wear any Manny dredloc wigs. Lol!
Yes, Emma, I did go to Dodger Stadium when the Yankees came for interleague. It was fantastic and I only wish they were coming back this year. I'm still planning to go to some Dodger games this summer. Count on it!
Emma! My mother in law (who has just arrived home for California) just emailed me a picture of Dodger Stadium! She said it was just "some ball field but the people outside were dressed funny." She thought since I liked baseball I would know what field it was. Glad to see Dodgers fans are getting into the spirit!!
~Bring on the Brew Crew because our Big Blue Wrecking Crew is back!!~
Well you did not do too well against the Brew Crew and lost them both! I love Jason Kendall and Ryan Braun! GO BREWERS!
Aaron, Thanks! Good luck to your Tribe!
Bern, Thanks for the reminder. Not dreadloc wig but I think I will add dreadlocs to this thick knit black hat I have🙂
Canuk! Was the picture from the WBC games or from exhibition?
Dee, No, we did not do well. I really thought we were going to win Saturday night. I like Ryan Braun because he is a local boy. Also Suppan is another local boy. I visited his restaurant about a year ago. He was really nice and showed us all the memorabillia he has at the restaurant.
Oh Jane, those three games the Yankees played at Dodger Stadium were electrifying! The atmosphere was fantastic. I really thought we would see the Dodgers play at Yankee Stadium last year. There is a lot of historic games played between the two teams.
The folks in front are in Dodgers gear. I think it was this past Thurdsay or Friday. She's been out there for almost two weeks but only got to LA in the last few days of her trip. She also seems to like talking about her trip with me. Personally, i think she just likes to torture me.
It will be a great game tonight! I can't wait to see how well Jake does tonight!
Congrats on a Dodger win today. It's also time for
Cardinal Baseball. Good luck. We lost today but hopefully tomorrow will be a win and warmer weather. I nearly froze today. But I will be there tomorrow with all my Cardinal winter gear on.

Jules Verne 9
When: second half of the 6th century BC.
Where: Marseille, in the Place Jules Verne
Origin: Greek
Was found by the archaeologist Mme A. Hesnard during the excavation of part of the zone of the old Greek harbour, carried out by the Service Regional de l'Archeologie, in 1992 and 1993.1
Construction Features
Overview This boat was around 8 m long, probably a fishing boat. Fragments of coral were found in its bottom. Was preserved in an area of around 5 m long and 1.5 m wide. It corresponds to the extremity and the midship of the boat.
Frames One single frame was found in place. The impressions of the other frames were very obvious though. The frames had identical sections to the ones found in the Bon-Porte I and Gela wrecks, with round upper surfaces and notched bases.

Grand Valley mourns Stuart Padnos
Posted on April 03, 2012
The Grand Valley State University community is mourning the death of Stuart Padnos, an entrepreneur, businessman and generous donor to the university. Stuart, who was the senior vice president at Louis Padnos Iron and Metal Company, died Tuesday, April 3. He was 90.
In 1999, in memory of his late wife and her adventurous, open-minded spirit, Stuart established the Barbara H. Padnos International Scholarship for Grand Valley students. The endowed scholarship provides study abroad stipends for an extended time period to enable students to have an in-depth experience in another country. "Being able to travel opens up one more venue for students," Stuart said of the scholarship. "It's extremely important for a school like Grand Valley to have an extensive study abroad program. Many students are from West Michigan, and some of these kids have not had a chance to travel."
Grand Valley State University President Thomas J. Haas said: "Stuart Padnos helped enrich the lives of Grand Valley students for generations and his legacy lives on, especially in our study abroad and fine arts programs which help our students gain a broader perspective and help prepare them for life after graduation. He will be missed by the entire Grand Valley community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Padnos family."
In 2005, Stuart established the Stuart and Barbara Padnos Chair in Art and Design to promote the teaching of art at Grand Valley. The endowment allowed Grand Valley to recruit an art and design professor to raise the level of the entire program. In appreciation of this generosity, the exhibition space in the Calder Art Center was named for Stuart and Barbara. Stuart also donated his sculpture of a life-size marching band which graces the Allendale Campus.
Arend D. Lubbers, president emeritus of Grand Valley, said: "Stuart Padnos was a close friend of mine. We shared many of the same interests and I have always been grateful for his interest in Grand Valley and his support for the arts and for study abroad. He significantly advanced the university in both of those fields. One of the most interesting negotiations I had with Stuart was persuading him to give the band sculpture to the university. It is a landmark on our campus and a testimony to his many talents and good humor."
Stuart is the uncle of Shelley Padnos, vice chair and trustee of the Grand Valley State University Board of Trustees.
In 2000, Stuart was recognized by the university for his leadership with an Enrichment Award. He also served on the Advisory Cabinet for the Grand Valley University Foundation Board of Directors. In 2010, he was the recipient of an honorary degree during spring commencement, and in 2011 he received recognition as one of the university's Grand Stewards for his support of the university and the community.

Honda Develops Three New Sport Hybrid Systems
Shane McGlaun

New Honda hybrid systems target three different vehicle types
Honda Motor Company has announced the development of a new Sports Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system. The company has three different version of the Sport Hybrid system to accommodate different vehicle characteristics.
The new one-motor Sport Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system is optimized for small-sized vehicles. Honda has a two-motor hybrid system called the Sport Hybrid Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive that is optimized for medium-sized vehicles. The third Sport Hybrid system is called the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD that features three motors. That last system is optimized for large vehicles and has been tipped for the new
Acura NSX
sports car.
The one-motor system uses a newly developed in-line four-cylinder 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine mated with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The hybrid system also uses a high-output lithium-ion battery and promises to improve efficiency by over 30% compared to conventional one-motor systems.
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid
The two-motor system will be first used in the
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in vehicle
and uses a lockup clutch and lithium-ion battery pack. The system will offer three different profiles depending on the driving situation, including EV Drive for electric only use, Engine Drive for medium to high-speed cruising, and Hybrid Drive for urban driving conditions.
The three-motor system combines a V6 engine and a high-output three-motor electrical system providing acceleration performance equivalent to that of a V-8 engine. The big benefit with this system is that despite the V-8 performance, fuel efficiency is reportedly better than that of an in-line four-cylinder.
Acura NSX Concept
The system will be mated with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a seven-speed DCT transmission with its own built-in motor. The system uses independent motors for the right and left rear wheels with positive torque applied to the outside wheel and negative torque applied to the inside wheel allowing for independent control of torque distribution. The system is designed to help improve cornering performance – this makes the NSX the perfect application for such technology.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

Reactions to Bixler
Who is Bixler? You ask. Well for one, he is an ex-Pirate and new member of the Cleveland Indians. Brian-his first name, has been dubbed one of the worst Buccos in the storied history of the Pittsburgh Baseball Club.
Bixler was swapped with Jesus Brito. Brito was a member of the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, my hometown minor league team back in my city of Youngstown, OH. The Scrappers are a Single A affiliate of the Indians. I have been to a handful of Scrappers games this past year and greatly recall seeing Brito play. My ears perked up whenever he was announced, partially because his name sounds oddly similiar to a Mexican food dish, Burrito.
Brito, pictured to the right, is an intriguing fellow. He is just 22 and has spent two seasons in the Tribe's farm system. Last season the Dominican Republic native batted .322 for Mahoning Valley, that is the fifth highest batting average among all minor leaguers for last season. Also interesting is that Jesus was born on Christmas Day, December 25th. I mean what else are you going to name a baby born on Christmas Day?
Even though he is light years from making the big league roster he definitely has shown potential to be a solid player. He has the ability to hit and get on base. His development will be crucial to his success.
Going back to my original statement, that Bixler is often regarded as one of the worst Pirate players in history. Honestly, it is true. In 68 major league games, the Sandusky, OH native owns just a .178 career batting average. Mario Mendoza, be happy. Bixler was often sought as the future shortstop to take over for Jack Wilson. Bixler never even came close to sniffing the dirt off Wilson's cleats. . 475 OPS, .237 SLG, only 6 extra base hits and 62 strikeouts in 152 at bats are not major league numbers at all.
The fanfare from the trade of Bixler has resounded across online media since the trade was announced yesterday.
There has been some colorful comments left on the official facebook fan page of the Pirates. Usually littered with comments trashing the team left and right, fans came out of the wood work to express gratitude that Bixler will never don the black and gold again. Here is a sample of what has been posted:
- "I liked bixler, until he forgot how to hit a baseball. Happy trails."
- "The Indians now have the worst player in baseball in their organization."
- "Bixler made Sammy Khalifa and Rey Quinones look pretty good"
- "Thank goodness Bixler is gone!"
Pretty harsh huh? I can't disagree though, it is well warranted. Bixler had every opprtunity to succeed and was handed opportunities to play. He failed, miserably, and rightfully showed he is not ready for a major league position.
My good friend, Jon Anderson from mceffect.com may have stated the best goodbye message to Bixler in his facebook status this morning.
Jon said: "woke up, remembered the Pirates traded Bixler yesterday… I think it's going to be a good day."
I got a good laugh out of that and will have to check on him later to see if his day went well.(Chances are, it did!)
This may have been the most landmark off-season deal the Bucs have made thus far. Yes they have added Bobby Crosby, Ryan Church and Akinori Iwamura. And the bullpen pieces are faling together. They signed veteran Brendan Donnelly to a one year deal and inked American League innings pitched leader DJ Carrasco. There are also talks of picking up the aging Octavio Dotel.
But this move brough Pirate fans together. The joy and happiness of seeing Bixler leave Pittsburgh gave something we have not had in quite sometime, hope. This is perhaps my favorite comment I have come across regarding the issue:
"Do you feel that? I haven't felt it in a long time. You know what it is? Optimism. I like this club. I like where they are heading. In Neal We Trust!"
Optimism my friends, it is a good thing to have.

LOL. Well, i have heard of his bat, or lack of, but the Indians didn't acquire him to be a starter, Thank God! He will be competing for the Utility role, but their are better options than him, so he isn't a sure thing to make the team. I think Mark Grudzielanek is the favorite, but we have Donald and Rodriguez too. I think Mark or Donald win the spot. Please visit:
Wow. Talk about "don't let the door hit you on the way out!" Sounds like everybody's united in their enthusiasm over Bixler leaving. And you're right – there are other reasons for Pirates fans to be optimistic. I don't know that much about Church and Crosby, but I always liked Iwamura when he was on the Rays.
The Pirates' fans are starting to feel optimistic which is fantastic…BUT after last season how should Cleveland fans be feeling now that they have acquired Pittsburgh's worst player? I bet they aren't overwhelmed with the feeling of optimism.
To be the worst Pirate in the history of the Pirates (considering their modern day hapless history) definitely ain't somethin' to write home about. Wowsers. The Scrappers though… now that's somethin' to write home about! What a name! Thanks for the edumacation, Matt!
Amazing that another team wanted Bixler with his track record!
Wow, to be the worst player in the history of the Pirates; that's not something you would want to be.
Lucky you. You got rid of Bixler! Indians have him now. I used to think Wil Nieves was the worst player in b-ball but Brian Bixler has taken that spot.
I've never actually heard of Bixler, but I guess I probably wouldn't want to. Glad he's not some sabermetric, "moneyball" type player that appears to be bad but is good in some area that generates runs, or else the Red Sox would be up and fighting for him. Thank god!
Glad to see you guys get rid of him, and it appears you got some good talent out of it. Good luck with Brito!
-Fenway Bleacher Creature
Nice hat Brito's got there. Is that the official logo of the minor league team he plays for? Cause that is one very cool logo there….
Poor guy. To be regarded as the worst Pirate ever – pretty amazing feat, but in totally the wrong way. Maybe a change of scenery will do him some good. Hey, I just noticed I'm in your sidebar! Thanks!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Congrats on signing Dotel, I love the moves Pittsburgh is making this year. I think the Pirates are going to have a winning season in 2010.
I had actually heard of Bixler before. It does seem that one would need to work extra hard to be named the "Worst Pirate Ever"! But I am old enough to remember the last time the Pirates won the WS–and you got there before we Red Sox did!😉 File that under "On the Bright Side"…😉
I'm keeping an eye on your Mountaineers, also, Matt!😉 Take care.
My A's have had Crosby since he was a Rookie…so it was sad to see him go. He's really good at SS, not a lot of errors (knock on wood), but his batting is ok. Hopefully he can pick up a few tips from your batting coaches, to help him get better.
I see we're going to be playing you guys June 25-27th. Let's hope for a good series.
Nice blog…and thanks for stopping by and commenting on mine, I responded to your comments over on my blog.

"To fight a disease after it has occurred is like trying to dig a well when one is thirsty or forging a weapon once a war has begun." The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, The Nei Ching, c. 1000 B.C.
In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell present a clear and concise message: if you want to be healthy, change your diet. The China Study describes the most comprehensive research ever undertaken (including more than 2,400 counties in China) to show the relationship between diet and the risk of developing diseases. The authors summarize their findings in the Eight Principles of Food and Health, listed below.
1. Nutrition [8] represents the combined activities of countless food substances. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
2. Solely taking vitamin supplements is not the way to good health.
3. There are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants.
4. Genes do not determine diseases on their own. Genes function only by being activated or expressed, and nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good and bad, are expressed.
5. Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals.
6. The same nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages (before diagnosis) can also halt or reverse disease in later stages (after diagnosis).
7. Nutrition that is truly beneficial for one chronic disease will support health across the board.
8. Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence. All parts are interconnected.
As principle number seven states, nutrition that is truly beneficial for one chronic disease will support health across the board. There is remarkable convergence in recommendations for diet and health. Eating as a defense against one disease process may well influence another. For example, eating in a way to support bone health will likely decrease inflammation, keep the brain healthy, and promote heart health.
Below are checklists for four important health concerns. They include recommendations for foods to include (those that provide protection), as well as foods to exclude (to eliminate potential negative messages that could impact the ability of the body to create health).
The recommendations can be used for either primary prevention (before diagnosis) or secondary prevention (after diagnosis).
Note that some alternative systems of medicine, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [9] or Ayurveda [2], also suggest diets for specific conditions and offer a helpful approach for some people.
If you are interested in a detoxification diet, see "How to Feed Your Detoxification System" in How Are the Environment and Food Related? [10]
Osteoporosis refers to a loss of bone mass, during which the bones become porous and fragile. Our bones are constantly being remodeled, with bone tissue being broken down and rebuilt on a regular basis. Bone density usually increases until young adulthood, but after that, trouble can begin. Osteoporosis sets in when more bone is lost than can be rebuilt.

Foods to exclude:
Return to list of health concerns
Inflammation is the body's natural defense against infection, injury, toxins, and anything the body deems as enemy. But when the body's defense system is constantly triggered and becomes overwhelmed, inflammation increases and can negatively affect any system in the body.
Excess inflammation can produce the following negative effects in different parts of the body:
One of the most common causes of excess inflammation is our diet, so dietary strategies to decrease inflammatory messages are helpful for multiple disease conditions.
Foods to include:
Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 essential fatty acids are necessary for creating the body's anti-inflammatory messages, while turning off pro-inflammatory messages. Increase intake by eating salmon, halibut, mackerel, herring, tuna, sardines, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and freshly ground flaxseeds or oil (note that rancid oils can increase inflammation).
Foods and specific nutrients shown to inhibit COX2, an enzyme responsible for inflammation. These include:
Foods to exclude:
Return to list of health concerns
The brain is one of the most metabolically active parts of the body and a steady stream of nutrients is needed to fuel the brain. "Feeding" the brain not only allows it to function but also reduces the risk for cognitive decline. Not surprisingly, the very foods recommended to keep the body functioning are also important to include for brain health.
Foods to include:
Chemically, free radicals are molecules that are missing an electron and are desperately trying to snatch one from any other molecule in order to neutralize themselves. However, in the process another free radical is formed. This newly formed free radical then searches out another molecule to rob an electron from, causing a chain reaction of free radical formation. Until subsequent free radicals can be deactivated, thousands of free radical reactions can occur within seconds of the initial reaction. Tissue damage from free radicals is known as oxidative stress.
To combat this, include foods rich in antioxidants. An antioxidant is a molecule able to give up an electron without becoming a free radical itself. Antioxidants thus stabilize free radicals so they can't cause damage. Antioxidants includes vitamin A, found in sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, spinach, cod liver oil (1 teaspoon) and those rich in vitamin C, found in oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, kiwi, strawberries, tomatoes, red pepper, and broccoli. Also include foods rich in selenium, which includes walnuts, Brazil nuts, shrimp, crabmeat, salmon, brown rice, and whole grains.

It is estimated that more than 70 million Americans have some form of heart disease [4]. Risk factors that account for the high prevalence of this disease include family history, inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative damage, stress response, and elevated cholesterol.
The relationship between diet and heart disease has been studied intensively for nearly a century. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2002), based on substantial evidence, proposed an optimal diet for prevention of heart disease [4]. This diet includes an abundance of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains with restricted refined grains. It also recommends increased amounts of non-hydrogenated and omega 3 fatty acids.
A recent study published in Journal of the American Dietetic Association (2008) is a systematic review of the evidence associated with key dietary factors and risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The Mediterranean diet is not a specific diet plan or program, but rather a collection of eating habits traditionally followed by people of the Mediterranean region including Greece, Crete, southern France, and parts of Italy.
Scientific research indicates that the Mediterranean diet can improve health and longevity.
While there is no universal definition of the Mediterranean Diet, many components have been consistently identified, including an abundance of natural, whole foods, especially fruits and vegetables, along with olive oil, fish, nuts, and a moderate amount of wine.

May 20, 1997: As two NASA spacecraft speed toward a mid-year rendezvous with Mars, astronomers using the Hubble telescope are providing updated planetary weather reports to help plan the missions.
Hubble's new images show that the "Martian invasion" of spacecraft will experience considerably different weather conditions than seen by the last U.S. spacecraft to land on Mars 21 years ago. Martian atmospheric conditions will affect the operation of both the Mars Pathfinder landing on July 4, 1997 and the September 11 arrival of the Mars Global Surveyor, which will map the planet from orbit. These two Hubble snapshots were taken barely three weeks after another Hubble observations of the Red Planet. The differences in the two sets of images are striking, revealing dramatic changes in some local conditions and show overall cloudier and colder conditions than the Viking orbiter encountered two decades ago.See the rest:

After staying indie for many years, whether he was rapping, singing or DJing, Mayer Hawthorne has gone major and signed with Universal Republic. The label will release the soulman's sophomore debut, How Do You Do, this fall. It will be his first proper effort since 2009's very good, A Strange Arrangement.
Although details surrounding the album remain minimal, he apparently has a new single out today called "A Long Time."
I know people have been speculating on these boards for a while now on whether or not Andrew Cohen would sign with a major.

Arab League Suspends Syria; Other Options Unclear
By Kelly McEvers • Nov 12, 2011
In an emergency meeting on Saturday, the Arab League voted to suspend Syria, warning that the country could face sanctions if it does not end its brutal crackdown on protestors. Meanwhile, NATO leaders say a Libya-style military intervention is out of the question. NPR's Kelly McEvers reports on what other choices remain.


text: Hi - From birth my now 14 week old baby has been very difficult to feed; at hospital the midwives resorted to cup feeding him because he wouldn't nurse or take a bottle. Now I part breastfeed, part formula feed and express as much milk as I can (always dependant on him giving me time to do it). When he feeds nicely it is really good and I'm confident he has had enough for the time being, but out of the blue, the next feed, he'll suddenly refuse to nurse. I always try as much as possible to get him to nurse before resorting to formula, but this week he is refusing to nurse more and more and I'm having to give him formula otherwise he goes hours on end without feeding. I always breastfeed the first feed of the day, as much as possible throughout the day or express (usually 3/4 times a day), breastfeed the last feed before bed and all night. I just don't understand why he suddenly won't let me feed him at all during the day, and I'm sure the amount of milk I'm expressing is getting less. I really love breastfeeding him and want to carry on for as long as possible (I even wanted to keep my milk supply so I can add it to baby rice etc when I start weaning him). Has anyone else experienced this and do you think I'm likely to be able to keep my supply or should I just admit defeat and try to look forward to weaning anyway?

In our ongoing series of how cities in Michigan got their names, we've been able to share with you the history of cities from around our state. In case you missed them, here are Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8 and Part 9.
Today, check out part ten, which shares the stories of how five more Michigan cities were named.
The area that would become Charlotte was owned by the U.S. Government until 1832, when George Barnes purchased the land. Barnes in turn sold the land to Edmond B. Bostwick, a land speculator from New York City three years later in 1835. Bostwick then sold a portion of the land to H.I. Lawrence, Townsend Harris and Francis Cochran. These four men can be credited for developing the village which they named after Bostwick's wife, Charlotte. Charlotte was incorporated as a village on October 10, 1863 and as a city on March 29, 1871. It was designated as the county seat when Eaton County was organized in 1837; however, due to a lack of population and buildings, county functions were conducted at Bellevue until 1840.
The Sparta area was first settled in 1844, with the township formally organized in 1846. The first settler in what is now the village was Jonathan Nash in 1846. Calling the place Nashville, he built a sawmill on Lick Creek. Subsequently, he changed the name of the creek to Nash Creek. Seeing as there was already a Nashville in Michigan, the state legislature suggested Sparta. The village was platted in 1867 and incorporated in 1883.
Alpena County was first named "An-a-ma-kee," or "Thunder," in honor of an old Chippewa chief of the Thunder Bay band who had signed a treaty negotiated with Henry Schoolcraft in 1826. After studying the Indian legends around the word "An-a-ma-kee" (or Animikee), Henry Schoolcraft concluded that the name was not completely appropriate. Then he manufactured the name Alpena from "Al," an Indian syllable meaning the, and either "pinai," an Arabic word meaning "partridge," or "peanaisse," an old French word meaning "bird."
In 1855 a fellow by the name of Frank Martin built a home on the northern shores of the swamp delta of the Betsie River. But then big snowdrifts surrounded the house; so Frank built a wooden stockade around it to keep the snowdrifts away. His neighbors thought it looked like a fort, so when the neighbors referred to Martin's home they called it "Franks Fort". As time went on, you guessed it, it was shortened to Frankfort and the town had a name.
Linux Jacox from New York built the first house in Clarkston in 1830. He sold his claim to Butler Holcomb in 1831. In 1832, Holcomb built the second house and a sawmill on sections 20 and 21. The town was named for the Clark brothers, from New York. Jeremiah Clark, from Onondaga County, New York, came to Detroit in 1831, and in the autumn of 1832 located on section 7 in Independence Township where he built a log cabin. Among his three children were three boys, Edwin, Milton and Newton. Nelson W. Clark arrived in 1836 and became a prominent citizen in the township. In 1838, Holcomb sold his interests to the Clark brothers, who then built a grist mill. In 1842, the Clark brothers platted a tract of land on section 20 for a village and gave it the name Clarkston.

Mothering magazine: Peddling dangerous health misinformation to new mothers
Last week, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published an expose by investigative journalist Brian Deer that enumerated in detail the specifics of how a British gastroenterologist turned hero of the anti-vaccine movement had committed scientific fraud by falsifying key aspects of case reports that he used as the basis of his now infamous 1998 Lancet article suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine and a syndrome consisting of regressive autism and enterocolitis. Indeed, Deer even went so far as to describe Wakefield's fraud as "Piltdown medicine," comparing it explicitly to the infamous "Piltdown man" hoax, and in an accompanying editorial the editors of the BMJ agreed. These revelations were not by any means new. Scientists had suspected that something wasn't quite right about Wakefield's work almost as soon as it had been published, and by 2004 Brian Deer had uncovered clear evidence of major undisclosed conflicts of interest on Wakefield's part. Unfortunately, by that time the proverbial cat was out of the proverbial bag, and Wakefield's fraudulent research, aided and abetted by his flair for self-promotion in the media and some truly execrable, credulous, and sensationalistic coverage by the British press, had ignited a major scare over the MMR vaccine. MMR uptake rates plummeted below levels necessary for herd immunity, and measles came roaring back with a vengeance in the U.K. By the time the British General Medical Council finally ruled about a year ago that Wakefield had committed research fraud and violated research ethics in the work reported in his 1998 Lancet article and recommended that he be "struck off" (i.e., have his license to practice medicine in the U.K. revoked), the damage had been done.
As important as Wakefield is to the genesis of the modern anti-vaccine movement, however, there is another force that acts far more "where the rubber hits the road," so to speak. This force comes in the form of publications and online discussion forums that cater to new mothers, offering all manner of advice and support. Some of these are very good, but all too many of them are hotbeds of anti-vaccine pseudoscience, confidently proclaimed by "elder statesman" members of these forums and included in articles published in glossy, attractive magazines. As a rather ironic coincidence, just as news of Andrew Wakefield's latest humiliation was finding its way out into multiple news outlets last week, the first issue of 2011 of just such a glossy publication hit the shelves. I'm referring to Mothering, whose tagline is "Inspiring Natural Families Since 1976." In reality, it should read: "Inspiring quackery and anti-vaccine views since 1976." Of course, in the world of "alt-med," the two often go hand-in-hand. In any case, one of our readers sent me a link to the latest issue of Mothering. Unfortunately, I can't supply you with that link, because it's for subscribers. I will, however, describe and quote articles and passages that demonstrate just what a wretched hive of scum and quackery Mothering is, particularly with respect to vaccines but not limited to vaccines. Taking into account its large and vigorous online forums, Mothering is major force for the promotion of anti-vaccine views and quackery among new mothers.

This is very helpful to keep track of who is eligible for what:
Would love to see Kiira win Gold. Would be wonderful for her.I adore her SP this year.
Javier for Gold as Spain has never won.
I would love Javier Fernandez to win a medal and Kiira to win the gold. In pairs, I just wish for Kavaguti & Smirnov to be back on the podium. In dance, Pechalat & Bourzat are the clear favorites but the battle for the other medals should be fascinating.
My hope is that Carolina wins her fifth title and Korpi comes in second and Elene in third.
1. That Meite and the Helgelssons have strong skates.
2. That B/S win gold.
3. That S/S and K/S beat V/T
4. That Fernandez wins gold.
I love Javi too but I don't want him to win because...
Plushy! Plushy! Plushy!
What's the record for EC titles, by the way?
Javi to win, Liza for the podium, K/S for podium and B/S for silver
Is anyone going from here to Euros ? I am I booked my tickets just on Friday, if you need any help write me .
