Michigan State holds off Badgers, 49-47
Cold shooting dooms Wisconsin
Keith Appling scored 19 points and Branden Dawson added 18 to lead No. 13 Michigan State to a 49-47 victory over Wisconsin on Tuesday night.
Mike Bruesewitz led Wisconsin (13-6, 4-2 Big Ten) with 10 points.
Both teams went more than 4 minutes without scoring down the stretch. Dawson broke the drought, hitting one of two from the free throw line to put the Spartans (17-3, 6-1) up 48-44 with just over 2 minutes left.
Ryan Evans' 3-pointer from the wing with 17 seconds left pulled Wisconsin within 48-47.
Michigan State freshman Gary Harris was fouled and hit front end of a 1-and-1, but rimmed out the second, leaving Michigan State up 49-47.
Wisconsin's George Marshall, who missed practice Monday because he was sick, was fouled with 3.5 seconds left.
He missed the first free throw and intentionally tried to miss the second but he didn't draw iron, giving the ball to the Spartans.
Wisconsin shot 30 percent (16-54) from the field and 39 percent (7-18) from the free throw line.

In April 2009, four Somali pirates operating a high-speed skiff and brandishing assault rifles boarded and hijacked a commercial cargo ship with a U.S. flag — the Maersk Alabama — carrying food aid en route to Kenya.
The ship's captain, Richard Phillips, was held hostage for five days on a lifeboat before being rescued in a daring operation staged by Navy SEALs. The leader of the hijackers survived and, in 2011 was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison.
Hollywood immediately began a battle for the rights to Phillips' story, with British director Paul Greengrass taking the prize.
A former documentarian, Greengrass has built a reputation as a master of taut, complicated dramas that rely on the immediacy of documentary filming techniques. He scored hits with The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) by using a guerrilla-style film unit to follow Matt Damon on the run through crowded European streets.
He wrote and directed United 93 (2006), a harrowing dramatization of the flight that, on Sept. 11, 2001, was hijacked by terrorists who wanted to send it into the U.S. Capitol but ultimately crashed in Shanksville, Pa.
United 93, in particular, demonstrated his ability to reconstruct a real-life drama without having it seem at all "Hollywood."
Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks as the title character and set for release on Friday, centers on "kidnap, piracy, international crime," Greengrass said. "But in the story, it is given an incredibly easy, accessible, human, concrete focus."
Speaking by phone, Greengrass pointed out that, despite the title, the film extends beyond the story of Phillips to that of "four young men who steal a ship — and it goes wrong."
"Ultimately," he continued, "they take the captain instead, and they are hunted down. That is really the story."
Greengrass' cinematic landscape in the film isn't limited to the waters off the African coast. The comparative affluence of Phillips' Vermont home, shown as he prepares for his fated voyage, is contrasted with the poverty of the seaside town of Eyl, Somalia, where henchmen of a warlord select Abduwali Abdukhadir Muse (Barkhad Abdi) to lead a crew of men on a piracy mission.
"I felt, from first to last, that it was at heart a story of two captains from very different worlds," Greengrass said.
Hanks and Abdi play the captains. Hanks is a two-time Academy Award winner; Abdi — like the three men who play Muse's crew — is a first-timer cast after an extensive search among the Somali-American community in Minneapolis, the largest of its type in America.
The two leads met for the first time on the bridge of the ship, filming the scene in which the hijackers board the vessel.
"They hadn't met even moments before or even seen each other," Greengrass said.
Most of the film was shot during 60 days on open water near Malta — which, Greengrass noted, "has deep-water ports so that you can get straight out into the proper ocean in literally 10 minutes" — and near Virginia (because "That was where we could get the U.S. Navy ships").
The filmmakers managed to secure the container ship Maersk Alexander to stand in for the Maersk Alabama. The ship crew of merchant mariners continued to operate the vessel during filming.
"It's an identical sister ship to the Alabama," Greengrass said. "We used to go out at 7:30 in the morning. By 7:45, the ship would be under power and operating. So the 25-odd actors — from Tom down to those playing the crew — could have an equivalent person who was part of the real crew. We all had this enormous resource on board. It was all living and breathing right in front of you."
Filming aboard a ship, rather than in a studio, posed some challenges.
"You'd imagine that, in one of those enormous container ships, there'd be lots of room," the director said. "But in reality, there's hardly any."
As he usually does, Greengrass made extensive use of hand-held cameras — which provide some flexibility.
In addition, his commitment to the authenticity of his narrative required "a process of a lot of reading and studying," he said.
He started with Phillips' 2010 book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, written with Stephan Talty.
"Phillips' account was a very clear account of what had happened as far as he was concerned," Greengrass said, "but what remained then was to find out much more about the pirates' side of things — and then much more, of course, about the military response, the anti-piracy-patrol response, which informed the bits that Richard Phillips couldn't possibly know."
From academic papers, Greengrass learned that "A lot of this piracy activity is clan-based and essentially organized crime.
"(The pirates) see themselves as quite different, in that sense, from the al-Shabab or al-Qaida side of political operations," he said. "These guys are just in it for the money."
Greengrass' next work remains undetermined.
Two projects that have been rumored — a documentary about FC Barcelona, the soccer club, and the fifth installment of the Bourne series — are off the table, he said.
" Barca is not happening."
As for another Bourne, Greengrass has explored the themes related to it as much as he wants to, he said.
"I loved the Bourne movies, and I loved making them, and I'm very grateful. But when you're a filmmaker, you can't just make the same film again and again. You have to move on into other things."

Paul Menard
No. 27 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet SS
This Week's Rheem/Menards Chevrolet at Phoenix International Raceway ... Paul Menard will pilot chassis No. 434 at Phoenix International Raceway this weekend. This No. 27 Chevrolet SS previously ran at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in September.
PIR Stats ... Menard has 13 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at the one-mile oval. His best start of seventh came in both 2009 and 2012, and his best finish of ninth came in both 2011 and 2012. The Wisconsin native has completed 4,111 of 4,134 laps attempted (99.4 percent) at the Avondale, Ariz., track.
Red and Black ... The No. 27 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet SS will sport a different look this weekend carrying a special paint scheme combination of Rheem red and black, in addition to Menards yellow.
Gotta Have a Rheem ... Rheem Manufacturing Company (www.rheem.com) is privately held with headquarters in Atlanta and U.S. operations in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Indiana, North Carolina and Texas. In its 88th year of operation, the company manufactures a full-line of eco-friendly, technologically advanced residential and commercial heating and cooling systems; tank, tankless, solar and hybrid heat pump water heaters; whole-home standby generators, controls, swimming pool and spa heaters; indoor air-purification products; and commercial boilers throughout North America and world markets.

Rheem is the official heating, cooling and water heating supplier to Richard Childress Racing, and is a primary sponsor of RCR's No. 29 Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series and RCR's No. 33 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Race Rewind ... In last year's AdvoCare 500, Menard started the No. 27 Chevrolet from the seventh position and brought home a top-10 finish, crossing the stripe in ninth.
Menard's Thoughts on Racing at Phoenix International Raceway: "I like going to Phoenix International Raceway, especially since the track surface is beginning to age. It aged from last fall to the spring race, and I'm sure the hot 100 degree plus temperatures this summer have aged it even more. The older the track gets, the racier the cars get. I like short-track racing and Phoenix is a fun little one-mile track that has the potential to produce some exciting racing. We ran really well there last fall, so hopefully we'll be able to build upon that and get another top-10 finish in our Rheem/Menards Chevrolet this weekend."
Kevin Harvick
No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet SS
This Week's Budweiser Chevrolet SS at Phoenix International Raceway ... Kevin Harvick will pilot chassis No. 430 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable in the AdvoCare 500. Harvick drove this RCR-prepared machine to a third-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway in September and most recently tested this Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway in October.
PIR Stats ... Since 2001, Harvick has made 21 Sprint Cup Series starts at Phoenix International Raceway. Throughout the years, the California native has made three trips to Victory Lane (both events in 2006 and November 2012), he has also collected six top-five and 10 top-10 finishes. Harvick holds an average starting position of 18.5 coupled with an average finishing position of 12.9, has completed 99.7 percent (6,611 of 6,633) of the laps contested and has 420 laps led to his credit.
Budweiser ROLL-BAR ... Harvick will visit with fans at PIR's Budweiser ROLL-BAR hospitality area on Sunday prior to the start of the AdvoCare 500.

This race is scheduled to air live on ESPN2 at 4 p.m. Eastern Time, along with the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio channel 90.
Teeing Off for a Cause ... On Wednesday, Harvick will head back to his hometown of Bakersfield, Calif., to tee off in the fourth annual Happy's Classic Golf Tournament presented by Advanced Distribution and Blackhole Technologies. Funds raised at the tournament will benefit the Kevin Harvick Foundation, which is dedicated to the support of programs that positively enrich the lives of children throughout the United States. In addition to the golf tournament, Harvick will make a special presentation to the North High golf team with a surprise donation on behalf of the foundation.
Race Rewind ... Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser team captured their only victory of the 2012 Sprint Cup Series season last November in the AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. After starting from the 19th position, he battled a tight-handling condition during the early laps of the event.
You've had a lot of success at Phoenix International Raceway. In your opinion, what's the challenge related to the 'new version' of this track since the repave? "You really have to have an understanding of the track. Every time we go back, I feel like we learn something different. We really did well at Phoenix (International Raceway) last year and also ran well there earlier this season, but we didn't play the strategy game correctly at the end and lost the track position we needed. I feel like you have to play the strategy game;.the track is still racy enough where you can make up time if your car is good, but you need to stay focused on strategy. Phoenix has done a great job redesigning the track. It's a great place for us as a team, but you have to play the game right with the strategy."
Is Phoenix International Raceway a track where it's less important compared to other recent repaves to work rubber into the race track? "I think Phoenix International Raceway took a lot of time in the beginning to work rubber into the track with a few different techniques they used, but the weather really helps wear the track. It's incredibly hot in the summer and can get really cold in the winter, so there are some pretty extreme temperatures that help age the asphalt. But I think the design of the track itself, on hard or soft tires, has made watching a race there really exciting. The pavement on the flat backstretch creates some excitement itself. It's been an interesting track to race on and most of that comes from having the design right."
Jeff Burton
No. 31 @CATMining Chevrolet SS
This Week's No. 31 @CATMining Chevrolet SS ... Jeff Burton will race chassis No. 429 this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. This No. 31 Chevrolet SS was raced by Burton at Dover International Speedway in September.
Burton in the Desert ... Burton has 28 starts at Phoenix International Raceway with two wins (2000 and 2001), seven top-five and 14 top-10 finishes. He has also led 222 laps at the one-mile facility.
No Stranger to Victory Lane ... Burton has scored two victories at the one-mile desert oval, bringing home back-to-back trophies from Phoenix International Raceway in 2000 and 2001, leading more than 100 laps in both events.
Major Milestone ...Burton will make his 1,000th-career NASCAR start when the Sprint Cup Series heads to Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday. During a NASCAR career spanning more than 25 years, Burton has amassed 48 wins including victories in the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway and the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The South Boston, Va., native has earned more than 250 top-five and 400 top-10 finishes, was named the 1994 Sprint Cup Series "Rookie of the Year" and co-piloted the No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet to the 2007 NASCAR Nationwide Series owner's championship. Overall, the 46-year-old driver has made 689 Sprint Cup Series starts along with 306 starts in the Nationwide Series and four starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driving for Richard Childress Racing, Roush Fenway Racing and the Stavola Brothers to name a few. Burton is the last driver to lead 100 percent of the laps in a NASCAR-sanctioned event, pacing the field for all 300 laps en route to victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2000, and was the 2007 NASCAR Illustrated "Person of the Year."
@CATMining ... The No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet will help launch the new Caterpillar Global Mining Twitter account this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. @CatMining will provide updates and information about the organization and their ongoing commitment to the mining industry.

Race Rewind 2012 ... Burton and the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team finished 13th at Phoenix International Raceway after driving from the rear of the field in the 2012 AdvoCare 500 because of multiple accidents in Sprint Cup Series practice sessions earlier in the weekend.
Burton's thoughts on racing at Phoenix International Raceway. "Phoenix International Raceway is a really fun race track, I enjoy going there. We had a top-10 finish in March and I fully expect to go there and contend for the win again. It's definitely another track that is in a transition phase. As the fresh asphalt from the recent repave goes through some of those hot, Phoenix summers, the grip level is starting to fade. That's a good thing though because the tire that Goodyear was taking there made it so difficult to get going on restarts. Now you can take right off and go fast. I think it will be a better race because the restarts will be more aggressive."

TODAY's Matt Lauer speaks with Al-Arabiya's Washington bureau chief Hisham Melhem on what has made conditions in the Middle East so ripe for violence, and whether there's a deeper anger that feeds the current outrage against the United States.
Updated at 4:00 p.m. ET: Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah made a rare public appearance in Beirut on Monday, calling for sustained protests against an anti-Islam film that already has provoked a week of demonstrations aimed at Western interests in Muslim countries worldwide.
"The world should know our anger will not be a passing outburst but the start of a serious movement that will continue on the level of the Muslim nation to defend the Prophet of God," Nasrallah told tens of thousands of marchers in Beirut's southern suburbs.
Meanwhile, the State Department urged U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to Lebanon due to an "upsurge in violence" there. On Friday, anti-Western protesters torched a KFC in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.
In northwest Pakistan, hundreds of protesters torched a press club and a government building, triggering clashes with police that left at least one person dead.
Despite the demonstration in Lebanon, Arab countries saw a third day of relative calm after multiple attacks on U.S. diplomatic posts, including one that killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, forcing Washington to ramp up security in select countries. At least 10 protesters have died in the week of violence.
The crisis presents President Barack Obama with a foreign policy headache as elections approach.
The California-made movie that has provided the spark for the violence portrays Islam's Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a child molester. Protesters have directed their anger at the U.S. government, insisting it should do something to stop it, though the film was privately produced.
American officials have criticized it for intentionally offending Muslims -- and in one case, acted to prevent it being shown at a Florida church.
German authorities are considering whether to ban the public screening of the film, titled "Innocence of Muslims" because it could endanger public security, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday. A fringe far-right political party says it plans to show the film in Berlin in November.
Germany followed the U.S. lead and withdrew some staff from its embassy in Sudan, which was stormed on Friday.
US analysts: Benghazi emerges as key recruiting ground for al-Qaida
Washington ordered non-essential staff and family members to leave its embassy on Saturday after the Khartoum government turned down a U.S. request to send Marines to bolster security.
Non-essential U.S. personnel have also been withdrawn from Tunisia, and Washington urged U.S. citizens to leave the capital Tunis after the embassy there was targeted on Friday.
NBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel spoke with former Arab League chief and former Egyptian foreign minister, Amr Moussa, to ask why there has been so much anti-American violence despite America's support of Arab Spring.
In Beirut, Hezbollah's Nasrallah called on governments across the world to censor websites carrying clips from the film and urged Muslims to boycott those websites that carried it.
"The world needs to understand our links to God's prophet. ... It did not understand the level of the insult that God's prophet was subjected to through some of the clips of this insulting film," he said, to roars of applause and cheers from the crowd.
Nasrallah has lived in hiding to avoid assassination since Hezbollah fought a month-long war with Israel in 2006.
The crowd at the demonstration was made up of men and women of all ages walking in separate groups, but united in their anger against the anti-Islam film.
"It's the best we can do," said Osama, a protester who gave only his first name, to explain why people had come out into the street Monday. "Every Muslim should do the same. Because if we don't have respect for each other who's going to respect us? We are against Israel and America, and whatever they do against Muslims."
Mohammed, another protester who also only gave his first name, explained the target of his anger. "I am against the United States – the government, not the people. They insulted the prophet, and all Muslims around the world want to grab America by their throat."
"It's America's fault if people attacked their embassies," said Haj Mustafa, another demonstrator.
The U.S. Embassy in Beirut warned American citizens on Monday about the "continued threat of violent demonstrations" and "other violent actions against U.S. interests in Lebanon."
In Pakistan, several hundred demonstrators in the northwest clashed with police Monday after setting fire to a press club and a government building, said police official Mukhtar Ahmed.
The protesters apparently attacked the press club in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province's Upper Dir district because they were angry their rally was not getting more coverage, he said.
One protester died when police and demonstrators exchanged fire, and several others were wounded, police official Akhtar Hayat said.

Elsewhere in Pakistan, hundreds of protesters clashed with police for a second day in the southern city of Karachi as they tried to reach the U.S. Consulate. Police lobbed tear gas and fired in the air to disperse the protesters, who were from the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami party. Police arrested 40 students, but no injuries have been reported, said senior police officer Asif Ejaz Shaikh.
Unrest continued across the Islamic world as demonstrators in Pakistan broke through a barrier near the U.S. consulate in Karachi and protesters in Turkey burned a U.S. flag. NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin reports.
One protester was killed and over a dozen were wounded in similar clashes in Karachi on Sunday.
Pakistanis have also held many peaceful protests against the film, including one in the southwest town of Chaman on Monday attended by around 3,000 students and teachers.
In neighboring Afghanistan, hundreds of people burned cars and threw rocks at a U.S. military base in the capital, Kabul. Many in the crowd shouted "Death to America!" and "Death to those people who have made a film and insulted our prophet."

Protests ignited by a controversial film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad spread throughout Muslim world.
Protests broke out in several part of Kabul. On the main thoroughfare through the city, demonstrators burned tires, shipping containers and at least one police vehicle before they were dispersed.
Elsewhere in the city, police shot in the air to hold back a crowd of about 800 protesters and prevent them from pushing toward government buildings downtown, said Azizullah, a police officer at the site who, like many Afghans, only goes by one name.
The rallies will continue "until the people who made the film go to trial," said one protester, Wahidullah Hotak, among several dozen people demonstrating in front of a Kabul mosque, demanding President Barack Obama bring those who have insulted the prophet to justice.
A number of Afghan religious leaders urged calm.
"Our responsibility is to show a peaceful reaction, to hold peaceful protests. Do not harm people, their property or public property," said Karimullah Saqib, a cleric in Kabul.
A Meet the Press roundtable discusses recent upheaval in the Middle East and how the United States intends to respond.
In Jakarta, the U.S. Embassy issued an emergency message urging American citizens about planned protests in the Indonesian capital and the city of Medan.
Iran's top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called on the West to block the film Monday to prove they are not "accomplices" in a "big crime," according to Iranian state TV.
The Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, condemned to death the Indian-born British novelist Salman Rushdie in 1989 for his novel The Satanic Verses,'' saying its depiction of the Prophet Muhammad was blasphemous.
As Iran increases the price on 'Satanic Verses' author Salman Rushdie's head, he speaks out on life in hiding more than 23 years ago when Muslim protesters raged against him in the Middle East and tells TODAY's Matt Lauer that it was a time of incredible stress.
In Tunisia, more than 1,000 security forces surrounded a mosque in the capital on Monday where a radical Islamic leader wanted by police over clashes at the U.S. Embassy last week was meeting hundreds of followers, a Reuters witness said.
The wave of international violence began last Tuesday when mainly Islamist protesters climbed the U.S. Embassy walls in the Egyptian capital of Cairo and tore down the American flag from a pole in the courtyard.
Ambassador Stevens was killed Tuesday as violent protesters stormed the consulate in Benghazi.

Laurier centre celebrates International Womens Day with all-day workshop
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 8/13
On March 8, Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Centre for Women in Science (WinS) collaborated with Perimeter Institute and University of Waterloo to create an all-day workshop in celebration of International Womens Day.
The workshop, titled Women in Physics: Past, Present, and Future, brought together female and male historians, philosophers and social scientists, as well as physicists from Perimeter Institute and elsewhere. The keynote speakers included NASA scientist Adriana Ocampo, who discovered the crater made by the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, and AIP scientist Rachel Ivie, who conducted the global survey of physicists the largest survey of scientists ever done.
This event showcased the diverse and important contributions of female physicists and examined ways to create a healthy and supportive environment for both male and female scientists, said Laurier Associate Professor Shohini Ghose, who is also director of WinS and was one of the days speakers.

Really? You're Gonna Use That Pickup Line?
PS: This has nothing to do with anything, just a random story. :)
I thought I'd give the men a little heads up here on HOW NOT TO HIT ON A WOMAN.
Scene: Grocery store, frozen section.
I wanted to be quick with this little shopping trip. Hubs told me I owed him ice cream because I ate the skin off his chicken. (mwhahaha!) So there I was, bookin' it back to the ice cream and of course someone is standing right in front of the hubs' flavor of choice.
I didn't want to be the girl who taps her foot while she waits for this guy to move, so I wandered in the nearby aisles, trying not to look creepy. I kept popping my head out, but he was still there, like this was a choice between life or death! Seriously move! I want my ice cream!
So I made my way to the freezer next to him, trying to make it look like I was interested in those choices, when in reality I was ready to grab something and shove it in his cart and tell him to move along. (Did I mention I'm not a very patient person?)
But of course I kept this all internal, so when he smiled at my idiotic staring, I smiled back.
Then he said this:
"Trying to get those jeans to fit?"
Little background... I have two pair of jeans. One of them fits like a glove and the other... ya, fat person jeans. Three sizes way too big. Sags in the butt. I would say they make me look like a thug, but they really don't. They just make me look like I'm wearing jeans that don't fit. Because they don't.
(I know Mom, you told me not to wear them anymore, but the glove jeans are in the wash.)
Just in case you forgot, this is what he said to me:
"Trying to get those jeans to fit?"
First reaction: Jerk Off! Is he calling me fat? Or is he saying that buying ice cream will make me fat? What in the name of all that is freakin' holy?
What I said: "Excuse me?"
"I was just saying, you're too thin to be wearing those pants. At least I think so."
Second reaction: Is he checking me out? Or back-pedaling? Either way... One, I'm married. Two, even if I wasn't, no way should I encourage that awful pick-up line.
So I just nodded, leaned around him and grabbed the ice cream I wanted. Screw being nice.
Apparently this was not the thing to do.
"So, what's your name?"
Ew. "I don't really know you."
"Just wanted to get to know you, that's all." He does that half-smile thing.
This is the part when I scratch my face with my left hand in an obvious attempt to show him I'm married.
He doesn't get it, or he doesn't care cuz he totally moves in. Like he's ready to snatch the ice cream out of my hands.
I dismiss myself with a 'gotta go' to which he offers to walk me to my car.
Heck no!
"My husband's waiting for me."
The hubs was actually at home, but ya, guy totally wasn't getting it.
He got it now.
"Okay. Have fun filling your baggy jeans."
Moral of this story? If you are going to hit on a girl buying ice cream, NEVER point out she's buying something that's going to make her fat. Also, never tell her she looks like crap in her clothes. Hello, that should be obvious. And please look at the left hand before you make any attempts to woo.
I thought I understood men, but apparently, they still manage to surprise me. Or maybe he wasn't hitting on me at all, and I let myself create the disgusting ego boost.
And for all my male readers, I'd love an opinion. Was I the beast here? Cuz I can see that happening. I was rude too I guess. And I kind-of feel bad, and yet, justified at the same time.
Also, because I'm a Harry Potter fan, and I googled bad pick-up lines, I had to post this.
45 comments:
LOL. You crack me up. I can just see you there :) I got hit on by this creepy guy who left a post-it note on my car window, saying he'd seen me leaving and wanted me to know how he felt about me. He then found me in the shop and asked if I got his note! AH!! physcho killer!ReplyDelete
Sounds like a very bad case of oral-podiatric surgery.ReplyDelete
Oh you sooooo knew I would have to jump in with a comment and of course, I am here to defend our Charlene, she of the clean baggy jeans :)ReplyDelete
Dude-ette, you did nothing wrong - as you know - but, oh boy (excuse the pun ) I wonder if he went back to his mom and asked Mrs. Bates if she wants a shower...
ugg.. they were some of the worst/creepy lines evah :(
Tell hubs he looks fat.. so you won't have to buy ice-cream next time :)
Wow, I've heard some gems in my time, but that is right up there with the worst of them!ReplyDelete
And I LOVE Harry Potter pick up lines LOL!
I bet it sounded so good in his head - really clever and witty :-)ReplyDelete
Men and their tongues...spouting nonsense most of the time...shoved her shoved all the tubs into his cart and left...the graphic below was so cool. Popping over from one of the blogette's post u commented on.ReplyDelete
LOL.. what a weirdo. I think that's really creepy.ReplyDelete
Research has demonstrated that a wedding ring can actually make people seem more attractive, because it's validation that someone else found them attractive enough to commit to for life! I know that sounds odd, but that's why wedding rings sometimes have the opposite of the intended effect.ReplyDelete
That said, it does sound like a creepy experience. Also, an awkward one. I hope your hubby appreciated what you went through to get him his ice cream!
^Some people also see it as a "challenge", and there are people now who wear "fake" wedding rings to avoid getting hit on and the creepers are catching on. But a creeper is a creeper is a creeper and honestly, being married or not wouldn't have any bearing on his reaction probably.ReplyDelete
TWI NSFW TOTALLY GROSS TIME: I once had a guy in college tell me that he thought I "looked like a good place to sow some seeds". Let's deconstruct this hot mess of misogyny. 1) I am not your sperm receptacle, and it's not a good idea to treat women as such. 2) I'm pretty sure he thought anyone with a womb looked like a good place. 3) I was hitting about a 6.0 on the kinsey scale in those days and this guy knew it, so there was that extra layer of homophobia as he tried to "convert" me with his dick. Weeeee!
And guuuurl, be as rude as you damn well please. You don't owe thsoe kinds of people any niceties, and anybody tells you you are being "rude" needs to look up "tone argument" and get a clue.
LOL! That's so funny. You weren't rude - right on! I had someone ask me out for a coffee and I told him I'd check with my husband if that date works but our schedule is pretty busy. The dude was married too and he knew I was! The nerve!ReplyDelete
Well, sounds like he thought YOU were checking him out first and was trying to be snide and yet take advantage at the same time. Possibly the 'I'm too good for you but I'll bite anyway' syndrome-- WHICH IS TOTES NOT TRUE. You should've asked him to move and then kicked him in the shin if he didn't, LOL.ReplyDelete
Oh, and I love the little cartoon at the end! Hilarious!
Why am I posting on your blog when I should be leaving for the airport? I must be getting addicted to your personality, Cassie. ;)
Oh gosh, this is frickin' hilarious! Gosh i would have been all read in the face and would have mumbled as I tried to figure out what the heck was going on!!ReplyDelete
Long time ago while I was still college age and college weight, I was digging a twelve pack of diet coke out of a stack or regulars as my date stood by and watched. Some random guy stepped up and helped, looked at my date, then back at me and said, "If I had a girl like you, I'd help."ReplyDelete
My date said, "I figured if the chick wants diet coke, she wants the exercise too."
Cheesy pick up line...fail
Funny come back...win...I married that guy four years later.
If a strange guy says he wants to get to know you in a store, you're not imagining it. I really hope these weren't lines he'd rehearsed!ReplyDelete
I think Annalisa is right. That went a whole different way in his head.ReplyDelete
I once got hit on when I was seven months pregnant. His friend finally had to tell him to stop or he was going to get punched. He was right, and not by my husband. I was ready to slug the guy myself.
First, those HP pick up lines are awesome. And second, if you see a younger woman by herself in the ice cream aisle, I'd assume she's PMS-ing and stay the hell away. Also, why pick up someone in the grocery store? Grocery stores are for dates, not pickups.ReplyDelete
You kill me!!! Poor bungling ice cream guy. He may never recover :)ReplyDelete
And after I laughed my butt off at the HP lines, they kind of left me feeling dirty and creeped out :)
Ah-hahahahaha!!!!! Cassie, YOU JUST MADE MY MORNING!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY DYING!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I don't reckon he had any intention of buying ice-cream - he was just hanging around there so he could try out his line! He probably hangs round the doughnuts on other days!ReplyDelete
He asked to walk you to your car. He was TOTALLY hitting on you. LOL. And he's creepy.ReplyDelete
HP pick-up up lines TOO funny.
The dude didn't have a clue! He was probably looking for freezer bags in the wrong spot also! :)ReplyDelete
I feel like I need to apologize on behalf of all men.ReplyDelete
Love the harry pottery lines, especially Hermiones. Wishing my oldest was old enough to share that one with!
Seriously dude, that was a bad line! The Harry Potter lines were way better ;)ReplyDelete
LOL! Oh my gosh, I am rolling! Some people are such idiots! LMAO.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, that guy was a totally douche! That is horrible, you should have sent your husband back to beat that guy up. I had a guy at a laundry mat hit on me once. He apparently taught a self-defense class and asked me if I wanted to work with him on hitting his hanging balls. Seriously? Men. Gross.ReplyDelete
But those Harry Potter pick up lines are hilarious! :)
um, I once had a girl cry and tell me we could not go steady any more and how sorry she was for hurting my feelings and on an on.ReplyDelete
We were on our Third date over Three months (one a month) I thought we were just friends...
Not knowing what to say and not wanting to hurt her feelings, I just agreed and let it go.
I'm a man
I can change
If I have to
I Guess
Ew. Just ... ew.ReplyDelete
Ya know, I've never had anyone toss a pick-up line at me. No matter if I'm wearing my ring or not.
But then, the five-year-old at my side probably works better than a ring of metal. ^_^
LOL Bahahaha!!! This is sooo funny! I can't believe he made reference to your pants being too big! Hello? So not a good pickup line.ReplyDelete
My favorite pickup line is, "If I said you had a nice body would you hold it against me?" Lol. Never used it or had it used on me, but I still think it's pretty catchy. ;)
I had a guy hit on me in the grocery store once. I was in high school and he was in college--totally intimidated me. He called a bunch of times but I always made up excuses why I couldn't go hang out with him. Wussy, I know. :)
What happened when I read your postReplyDelete
1st- mouth drops
2nd- I laugh
3rd- thought: I wish someone would hit on me
4th- thought: But not him
5th- laugh again
6th- and again
I usually counter with, "Really? That's your line?" Followed by an intense stare down. Then again, I'm kind of sadistic and like to watch guys squirm... *grins*ReplyDelete
LOVED your story! :D
McGonagall is brilliant in that comic! But yeah, I probably would have acted in a similar way in that situation. Except I'd have to make up a boy friend. But that doesn't always work. I got hit on once with the line 'Nice legs, are you married?', I responded with 'will be next month' and then he said 'we still have time then'. *rolls eyes* Oh boys. Sometimes you have to be rude/tactless to get a point across.ReplyDelete
No, you were not out of line.ReplyDelete
I never found a pick up line that worked except for "Hi." And that only worked on my wife.
Confirmation....I do live under a rock.....I can't believe people actually try out these lines....now in the good old days.....ReplyDelete
Nothing like strangers commenting on one's eating habits/body, is there? Least you got a very amusing post out of the encounter!ReplyDelete
- Afghan VetFebruary 23, 2012 at 5:32 AM
I think you were fine. I don't know how old he was so maybe he just wasn't housebroken yet.I do find it amusing that women find wedding rings prohibitive on themselves - as in they mean stay away. But, all I need to attract attention in a hotel lobby or at a conference is a wedding ring on my finger while sitting alone. Women love hitting on married men for some reason. Not sure why. But am not complaining either - since I'm not married. I just wear the ring on those occasions because it is like a beacon to a certain kind of woman.ReplyDelete
First of all, I was ROARING with laughter throughout this entire story. I hate chicken but I always eat the skin off my husband's chicken! Although that ice cream would never make it home to him. LOL. I have the glove/misfit jeans problem too. Finally, I think this dude was a serial rapist and/or murderer and think you were totally right to book it the hell out of there. Clearly he was socially inept and I think it's downright scary that after all that he wanted to walk you to your car!ReplyDelete
lol This was a great post. :)ReplyDelete
I had an experience with this creepy guy who offered to comb my hair. It was like he wanted to chop it off and keep it for himself. Freaky!! And I was out buying lunch.ReplyDelete
Awesome (sarcasm of course)!
About that guy *cough* I mean douche. You did the right thing. I would've been meaner and it's obvious that last line was a dash in your face because you didn't accept him. I mean (valley girl impression)...As if!! Also I wouldn't be surprised if he noticed the ring. He seems like the ass who'd try to get into the pants of a married woman...intentionally. Good for you for standing up to yourself. I bet your husband would agree if you told him (and he'd probably come along next time to find the guy).
Loved the Harry Potter bad pick up lines. They are bad but I have to confess that if Fred & George asked me into a threesome while I'd say no to their face...yeah I'd blush like hell in private. I can't hep it I love those two in the books.
Bahahahaha!!!!!!! Okay, okay, *phew* Bahahahaha!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Jade: Oh my gosh, creepy! Though, my hubby used to do that to me. At least I knew him, right?ReplyDelete
Weissdorn: LOL!!!
Mark: "She of the baggy clean pants" Hehe! I love it! And I did tell the hubs. He just told me if my snug pants are dirty, it's better to just go in my underwear.
Ya, like that'll be better.
Kyra: Right? You'll have to share some of these awful lines.
Annalisa: Haha, ya I bet it did. BACKFIRE!
Rek: Nice to meet you! I guess I can't be too harsh. My tongue spouts off nonsense all the time.
Cristina: Way creepy!
Sarah: Um, off with the wedding ring then! Haha!
Hildred: Really? People wear fake wedding rings? Insane.
And totally gross college man! Sow his seeds? Was he a polygamous? I've gotten the "You have child-bearing hips" before.
Marta: Oh my gosh, that's a line I need to use too. But then I'd be afraid for the "Ya, he's totally invited." Haha!
Jasmine: Maybe my attention to the icecream he stood in front of was considered flirting, lol.
And addicted to my personality? You're in trouble!
Kelley: I was probably bright red! But I don't think I've mumbled once in my life. Too big of a mouth. :)ReplyDelete
Vic: LOL!!!
Elizabeth: Priceless! I would've married him too!
Sarah: Oh man, could you imagine? Maybe he was waiting for someone who wore baggy jeans just so he could use it, lol.
Rachel: I almost socked a guy in the face when he told me I should work at the strip club down the street. I was 16!!! Yikes!
Joshua: First, oh heck ya! Second, agreed! That's usually the case. Third, grocery store dates are sometimes the best ones. :)
Angie: Hehe, they did that to me too. But I'm too immature to be creeped out by them, lol.
Morgan: *bows* No, I'm kidding. Lol.
Linda: Yes! I will go and report creepy donut man! Lol.
Jenny: Ack! I really don't like being hit on. Unless it was like Ryan Reynolds or something. Haha!
DL: Haha! Where are those things anyway?ReplyDelete
JeffO: Thank you. Much appreciated! Lol.
Johanna: Lol, my oldest is four, so even if I did share, he wouldn't get it.
Hope: Haha, if someone said one of them Harry Potter lines to me, I think I'd go a step farther and kick them in the balls.
Leigh: Idiot people, lol. Maybe someone put him up to it.
Krista: The hubs wanted to go beat him up, but he was too busy laughing.
And OH MY GOSH! I would have burst out in a fit of giggles if someone said that to me!
ITTL: Aw, that was nice of you. It's totally better than sayin, "Were we going out?" Lol.
Aldrea: Oh! Bring a kid! That's the key!
Cortney: Haha, I'm using that line.
And poor grocery store guy. He just wanted to hang out, lol. :)
Suzi: No, definitely not fat pants man. haha!
Carrie: I wish I had the guts to do that, lol.
Gwen: Oh my gosh. "We still have time..." *shakes head*
Alex: Hi worked for the hubs too. Then he said, "Are you talking to yourself?"
Yes, yes I was.
Jeff: I must live under a rock too. I'd never thought someone would say that to me, lol.
Hayley: So true. It's like when strangers try to tell you how to raise your kids.
Afghan: Haha, you've found a weakness! Women are just as bad as men!ReplyDelete
Lisa: Thank you for mentioning the chicken. Lol. I kept thinking all these people thought that was normal behavior since it wasn't brought up yet, lol.
Vicki: Thanks! Though really, I just shared cuz I had nothing else to post, haha!
QueendSheena: Whoa! Comb your hair? Haha!!
And that's so funny about Fred and George. I'm more of a Neville fan. :)
Jack: LOL!

The incident involved singer Chris Brown and members of the entourage of hip-hop star Drake. It's unclear how Parker was involved in the fight, but that is not stopping him from going forward with the suit against the W. I. P. club in New York's SoHo district and its owners/operators, citing negligence in security and supervision that allowed the fight to occur, Parker's suit alleges.
The suit was filed Thursday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
Brown, his girlfriend and bodyguard were among eight individuals involved in the melee. Police reports indicate that members of Drake's entourage prevented Brown and his group from leaving, eventually leading to a fight that included punches and bottles being thrown. How Parker was involved -- or whether he was an innocent bystander -- remains unclear.

By Karl Terry: CNJ columnist
Where the heck is that burrito lady anyway?
Not at all unlike a den of drug addicts without a fix, the withdrawal symptoms are becoming problematic around the office where I work.
Folks aren't hooked on illicit substances though, just hot burritos, which we normally get delivered to our driveway by a good-natured woman we know as the burrito lady.
This one lady has been a longtime regular and usually stops by like clockwork. Apparently she's either caught the H1N1 and out sick or else she's made her fortune and retired without telling us.
While she's been our standby, she hasn't been exclusive. Over the summer we were blessed with three or four different vendors selling food out of their vehicles. We have had two burrito ladies in SUVs, the burrito man in the van who had his own grill inside and another guy who reportedly also owned a restaurant. Add to that a family that regularly sells chocolate chip cookies and another guy from time to time with tamales and we've been pretty fat and sassy.
One other place I worked in Colorado had a full service roach coach.
This lady was a trained and practicing caterer and stocked her fully equipped and health-department-inspected catering truck with some great delicacies. Chef salad, chicken Alfredo, green chile stew, she had something different every day.
She announced herself with a horn that played "La Cucharacha." When she blasted the horn people appeared from nowhere.
In south Texas we regularly had vendors who stopped in the newspaper parking lot selling fresh Gulf shrimp or redfish. Someone would announce that fresh shrimp was for sale in the parking lot for so much a pound and anyone wanting a treat for supper would head for the parking lot.
Our burrito lady gets announced each day as she pulls up to the automobile dealership where I work. Mechanics drop tools and salespeople with customers motion to coworkers to get them a burrito before she gets away. While it's not full service catering, the variety of types of burritos she offers is amazing.
From breakfast burritos to the standby beef, bean and cheese to carnitas, chile relleno or barbacoa, the first decision is whether you're having breakfast or lunch.
They say the chemical contained in chile known as capsaicin can be addictive and after watching the folks around our office lining up to plunk down two bucks for a burrito I believe it might be true. I know that my habit had the waistband of my jeans getting tighter and tighter until I pretty much beat it.
I haven't gone cold turkey yet and at least one day this last week I skipped my bowl of cereal so I could indulge in the warm goodness wrapped inside a soft flour tortilla. It was a disappointment when the call never went out over the company intercom that the burrito lady was there. A burrito at the convenience store just wasn't the same.
I have faith that by next week burrito lady will be back on her route, feeding our addictions. If she's not, I may just go into the burrito business myself.

Say goodbye to C.C…my letter to the big fella
Dear C.C.,
It's been so nice getting to watch you pitch up close and personal for the last few months.
You were dominating.
We traded the young stud pictured to the left (Matt LaPorta) to get you.
It was so worth it.
You pitched on 3 days rest so many times just to see the Milwaukee Brewers reach the promised land.
And we did it.
Milwaukee Brewers principal owner, Mark Attanasio made this trade happen. We appreciate him for doing that.
He appreciated you, too.
So, when you're wearing pinstripes next season, please remember the good times you had in Milwaukee.
We won't forget about you.
You came, you saw and you conquered.
We'll be watching you in the Bronx…good luck to you big fella.

Nick, that's such a gracious post. Seriously. A fan who actually wishes a departing free agent well! It's not a done deal that CC will be a Yankee, of course, but I think it's cool that you're paying tribute to what he did with the Brewers.
Thank you so much for the comment. He really is great guy like that. I can totally see him running around in a floppy hat! Thanks for sharing, it did help. But boy, I'm going to miss him. Oh, I just realized that I'll have to write him a good-bye letter too. Oh man, how do you say good-bye to 16 years of history? I'll work on that. Thanks again!
I do have to say he did a great job in MIL. I love the pictures!
It's amazing, actually, how he performed in 17 starts for the Brewers. I think he had 7 complete games…that's unprecedented. Whatever money he makes this offseason (speaking solely in baseball dollar value and not the real world most of us live in!), he deserves it.
I bought my Sabathia jersey shirt when he came over knowing full well he most likely would not be a Brewer in '09. I'm glad I did.
Thanks for stopping by the blog.
One positive of watching CC pitch the 2nd half in Milwaukee is knowing an entire team can be placed on the shoulders of one man. The question is "who will it be next year" rather than "where will he be next year". I wish it wasnt that way, but you have to look on the bright side: anyone can step out of the shadows and carry us.

My son is 8.5mths old and currently at his daycare they will not give him breastmilk after he is 12mths old he will only receive whole cows milk.
I am currently pumping 2-3X a day at work and always get the 15oz that he takes every day. At home he has one meal and we nurse on demand. I was planning on pump weaning at 12mths anyways, but now that I finding out that he will not get any breastmilk at day when he turns 12mths, I'm thinking I should be weaning sooner. I dont want to waste my milk so when and how should I start pump weaning to make sure that I can supply him the milk up to 12mths old?
I have 73.5oz frozen in the freezer (btw...how long does it stay good for in the freezer? I believe my latest bag is from the end of November). I would really like to continue nursing him during the evenings after work and on the weekends, will pump weaning decrease my supply for the evenings...will I become engorged during the day until I get home with the baby? I don't have to give it all up do I?
Any help or suggestions would be great!

Cioffi plays big for URI ruggersBy Bob Fredette
STAFF WRITER | April 28,2014SUBMITTED PHOTO
Rutlander Eliza Cioffi, right, carries the ball in a match playing for the University of Rhode Island. CIoffi and the Rams won a Division I and a DIvision II "Beast of the East" title during her four seasons.Size isn't everything, unless you count the heart.
Eliza Cioffi is a good case in point. Told she was too small to play sports like basketball and soccer at Rutland High School, Cioffi took up rugby in her senior year.
Rugby? Cioffi is 5 feet tall and 110 pounds.
Yes, rugby. And she was impressive enough to be elected captain at the University of Rhode Island, which won two "Beast of the East" tournament titles in Cioffi's four seasons there.
Cioffi's statement that she would go out for rugby was at first a joke. But she did it anyway and liked it. So, no more Raiders soccer for her.
"After I understood what was going on I liked it a lot," said Cioffi, who is getting ready to graduate and move on to pursue her PhD. "It was weird because in soccer you run away from the ball to create space, and in rugby you run to the ball."
But rugby? For an athlete of such diminutive stature?
"I definitely usually am the smallest person on the field," she said. "I think I know how to play without getting beaten up. I think most people get hurt because they don't play aggressively.
"I've been lucky; I've only had two concussions and a couple of black eyes."
Cioffi, a 2010 Rutland graduate, was recruited to the team at URI and the Rams don't regret it. By the second half of her first collegiate game she was on the field, and barring injury was, there the rest of her college years.
Cioffi plays the scrum half position, where one of the assignments is to take the pass from the scrum and move it along to the fly half.
It was Cioffi's sophomore year when the Rams won the Division II portion of the Beast of the East, an annual tournament in Portsmouth, R.I. which attracts more than 30 colleges in two divisions.
URI breezed through the event without allowing a point.
In Cioffi's junior year, the URI women's team moved up to Division I and finished second behind Boston University, commendable for a team that had graduated much of its experience.
But the Rams came back this year and scored a Division I crown on the weekend of April 12 in impressive fashion.
They started out with victories of 34-0 over Boston College and 38-5 over Yale.
Then they knocked off 2-0 Northeastern 18-0 before engaging in a dogfight with UConn, winning 8-3 with a late try.
Ironically, Northeastern is one of the schools to accept Cioffi into its post-graduate program.
Cioffi, who seeks her doctorate in audiology, will study next year at Hofstra and does not rule out more rugby.
"I would definitely encourage them to try it," she said when asked what she would tell an aspiring rugger.
"It's a community. It's normal during a game to try to hurt other teams, but then we all get together and have a barbeque.
"I could sit with a bunch of 50-year-olds and talk rugby for hours."MORE IN NewsNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full Story

The Loneliest Cowboy in the World
By John Martin
Photos by Peter Sutherland
Faustino Barrientos has spent the greater part of his 81 years in complete solitude and isolation. Since 1965 he's worked as a gaucho—the horse-riding ranchers and shepherds of the harsh southern swath of Chile and Argentina known as Patagonia. For most of his life, Faustino's sole human contact has occurred once every two years, when he herds his cattle to the nearest town to sell.
The gaucho lifestyle, which essentially consists of hunting and herding, has remained constant since the colonial era. To say these guys are lonesome is an understatement—this isn't like moving to the country and starting a blog about local varieties of heirloom carrots. But Faustino wasn't always alone. He was raised on the shores of Lake O'Higgins in a place known as Once Hermanos, which is named after his family of 11 brothers and sisters. Over the years, the siblings moved away one by one. Then their parents died, their houses were burned down by vengeful neighbors, and the land was sold. Faustino moved to Argentina, traveling the country and honing the skills that would allow him to eventually return to Lake O'Higgins and live off the land for the next 46 years.
While Argentinean Patagonia can be barren and almost desert-like, Chilean Patagonia is rugged in the classical sense. It's peppered with craggy, gothic mountains, dense forests, and sparse pockets of civilization. Lake O'Higgins is located in the Aysén region, one of the remotest areas of Patagonia. It's the least-populated region in Chile, and one of the most sparsely-populated places in the world outside Antarctica. The closet thing to an urban center is a place called Coihaique, in which more than half of the region's 100,000 residents reside, and the smallest towns are frontier settlements of fewer than 500 people, such as Villa O'Higgins, where Faustino sells his livestock.
Like most of the developing world, Faustino's land is rapidly changing. The transformation's roots date to the mid-1970s, when Chile and Argentina became involved in what came to be known as the Beagle Conflict, a territorial dispute over the nearby Picton, Lennox, and Nueva islands. This kerfuffle served as the main reason for Chile's support of the UK during the Falklands War, another convoluted and somewhat silly conflict over a few chains of islands off the coast of Argentina that the British had long claimed as their own. At the time, Chile's dapper general-turned-dictator Augusto Pinochet was in command and decided that Chile needed a highway to make its far-flung regions more accessible to the military.

Impressions Great and Lasting
Springfield, Illinois was the epicenter of public embarrassment today as Rod Blagojevich stepped up to the political plate and delivered his most compelling impression of a soulful, hardworking, genuinely honest human being:
"How is it an impeachable offense for helping low income families keep their health? How can you impeach a governor when what we did was about helping families and kids?"
(image courtesy of the Chicago Tribune)
Uh… I think you are missing the point, Rod, because having something "(bleeping) golden" that you "just don't give away for nothing" in regards to the vacated Illinois senate seat doesn't really have anything to do with providing health care for low income families. But since you brought it up, let it be known that my back hurts like a (bleeping) (bleep) and my (bleeping) health insurance won't (bleeping) cover a chiropractor so I am stuck in (bleeping) (bleeping) pain while you waste my tax dollars on giving free CTA rides to seniors, threaten to fire Chicago Tribune editors and balloon state debt by borrowing millions of dollars from the future.
Nice try, Rod.
Yet, I tip my hat. That performance in Springfield today was an excellent, Academy Award worthy acting job that will go down in history as being almost as entertaining as it was pathetic. I especially liked how you invoked the spirit of the 2 million Illinoisans who elected you twice, Rod — the same 2 million Illinoisans who now want you out of office.
Your dramatic impression of an incorruptible man was one for the record books, indeed.
So in light of this depressing state of Illinois politics, the impending unemployment of the Cubs' biggest fan and the overall economic bitterness shared by US Americans the world over, let me introduce to you, dear readers, a man who will surely make you smile: Batting Stance Guy.
If you haven't seen him yet, you should, and in an attempt to inject spunk back into the hearts and souls of taxpayin, apple-pie-eatin', baseball lovin' Joe Six-Packs out there, why don't you enjoy some classic stances from the St. Louis Cardinals:
And in honor of the kind tribute Mr. Krause mustered up last minute (after the fact I must point out), I would like to reach across the aisle and offer you some classic Tiger stances as well:
Man, is he good or what!?!
Now those are what I call impressions.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm (bleeping) right.
P.S. He Gone!
9 Comments
Oh god, I love the batting stance guy. Hilarious.
McGwire's.. LOL..
The one he did of the Yanks was pretty funny as well. He saved Paul O'Neill for last… funny stuff. The '08 All-Stars was also laugh till you cry funny.🙂
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
I love that Blago is in the same news cycle as Ted Haggert. They deserve each other. But this batting stance guy? I do the same thing in my living room when nobody's watching, and I'm not nearly as good. Kudos.
I thought of you Jeffy when I got my CNN breaking news email that the saga had ended and Blago was gone. But what will you have to blog about now??
I've decided that you should work for Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert. They really could use you on their shows. And nice Sarah Palin impersonation.
Ha! That's great. He nailed Placido. I'm glad that Blago is out of office but I hate to say that this doesn't mean the sage is over. There's still a story on the news every $%^&# night about Kwame and he's in JAIL. The media doesn't want to let a juicy morsel go.
Now if someone would just sign Manny so we can stop hearing about that and get some new news.
That is pretty good. I wonder if he did the Cardinals one before the Tigers. He seemed kind of like he had been doing them for a while when he got to them.
jeffy why didn't you think of that you already know all the facts
V — I haven't laughed til I cried in a long time… or ever?
Jane — Blagohaggert. I like it cuz I don't like it. Y'feel me?
Julia — Don't worry, politicians will continue to be idiots. The pool is deep and wide.
Elizabeth — Thanks. Do you know Colbert or Stewart? Holla at 'em for me if you do.
Katie — We love Kwame too! See: http://redstatebluestate.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/09/speaking_of_losers.html and http://redstatebluestate.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/05/bobblewhat.html for more hilarity.
Joe — Yeah, he has a great backstory… impersonating Rose when he was just a wee boy before he knew what he was doing… right down to the chaw and all.
Baba — Again… what are you talking about?
being the baseball batting stance guy 1st that's what I mean you goofy

While reading Super Baby Food, I noticed that the author says that frozen veggies, once cooked and pureed, should not be refrozen as cubes for baby to later eat.
I thought I read in Fresh Baby (or somewhere), that you could cut up veggies and freeze them (or buy frozen), then cook and refreeze.
Does anyone know??

Santa Hat Pretzels
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes of set time
- Twist pretzels – any size
- 1 lb – red candy coating
- ½ lb – white candy coating
- Small marshmallows cut/torn in half
- Optional - accents – white non-pareils, white sanding sugar or crystals
- Place pretzels on a Nonstick Mat.
- Melt candy coating according to package directions.
- Once candy coating is melted, spoon a small amount of red inside each pretzel until the holes are filled.
- Once the red is set, about 10 minutes, dip one end into the slightly cooled white candy coating. If you dip the red pretzel into very warm white candy coating, the red will start to melt into the white causing pink streaks.
- If you are going to add non-pareils or sanding sugar, do so right away while the white is wet. Let set.
- Tear or cut the small marshmallows in half. Dip the torn end into some white
- Once everything is set, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks – if they last that long.

My baby is 3 months old and I have not introduce a bottle. I don't need to as I will be home with her and not going to work or anything. Because of this I didn't really think about it much until I had two people mention it - one saying her son and daughter in law had introduced a bottle so that the mother could "go out without worrying about missing a feeding", and the baby is 2 months old. I haven't left the baby with my husband at all, except for once when I went to the dentist and another time for a quick run - both short, and he wore her and she slept. I'm ok with this - I figure it will gradually change, as long as it's not "weird". I kind of thought this was normal...
Another person mentioned how you have to do it early and then when I looked into it I realized we may have missed the boat. I just...was thinking about other things! (we just moved, which was a bit crazy!) And the thing is, I have no particular desire to get her to take a bottle. My husband isn't against it - I think he liked the idea that he could give her a bottle, since at this point she is often very insistent that she wants to be with me and will cry with him, despite his best efforts, and I think he thinks him being able to feed her would help. (but I really feel this is just a stage for her. and that she will soon be delighted to be with him, and play with him, and that it won't be about food!)
I guess what I want to know is if it's "ok" that I haven't introduced a bottle. Also maybe, if you haven't, what you say to people who ask if you have? If you don't need to, is there reason NOT to? Am I just being "old-fashioned"?
Sorry, this is a ramble. If anybody has any insight I'd love to hear it!

text: My 10-week old has been recently forcefully pulling away from my breast during nursing. He nurses for short periods of time and pulls away. Upon attempts to bring him back to the breast, he pulls back in rejection...sometimes crying. I thought that he wasn't getting enough from the preferred breast (which doesn't yield great output), so I switched to the other breast (runneths over), but he rejects that as well. As such, I've started him on the bottle, but I would like to continue breastfeeding. Is this a temporary thing or should I just hang it up and pump into the bottle?
