When a Doctor Injects Botox Around Mouth for Smokers Lines, Are They Injecting into the Lips or the Muscles Around the Mouth?
Doctor Answers 18
Botox reduces muscle contraction around the mouth
Botox is great at reducing muscle contractions around the mouth-- which is the cause of those vertical lip lines. Unlike fillers which are injected into the lines themselves, Botox is injected into the muscles. I am always very careful around the lips, a little botox goes a long way.
Sounds like you have some assymmetry as a result of the treatment. You may just need 1-2 units more to one side to even out the effects. I suggest you see the doctor again to see if it can be corrected.
Dr. Margaret Mann
Botox for Smoker's Lines.
Botox can be beneficial to reduce prominent vertical lines around the mouth or "smoker's lines" when it is injected specifically and in small amounts. The Botox is injected into the muscle, attached directly to the skin. The direct attachment of the muscle to the overlying skin, is what allows you to pucker and purse your lips. cautious and strategic weakening of the action of the muscle with Botox treatments lessens the prominence of the vertical lines, but over-treatment can lead to lip asymmetry and inability to adequately close your mouth.
Vertical lip or "smoker's lines" are best treated with judicious use of Botox combined with a dermal filler or TotalFX fractional resurfacing for long lasting results.
With the asymmetry you are experiencing now, your best option is to wait for the Botox effect to wear off and explore having the physician inject the next time, use dermal filler only or opt for TotalFX fractional resurfacing.

Botox for lip wrinkles
it must be understood there are certain rules:
1) your doctor must stay close to the wet border,.....inject into the muscles on the skin side of the wet border
2) do not inject near the corners of the lip
3) doctor should inject i/2 and 1 inch out from the center of the lip on either side
4) use 1-2 units per site

Botox around the mouth
When a doctor injects Botox around the mouth for smokers' lines, it is injected into the upper lip skin portion (the "mustache" area). If you look in the mirror and purse your lips, you'll see those pesky lines. Tiny needles are used to inject into the lines or to the side of the lines. The injections do not got into the lips themselves.
Botox for smoker's lines around the lips
As others have noted, the neuromodulation effects occur in the muscles responsible for the unwanted lines. Around the mouth, the relaxation can lead to weakness of contraction which will soften the harsh lines. This may also create the inability to pucker, kiss, whistle, suck through straws, and may even affect speech and enunciation. Some patients report enough dyskinesis (uncoordinated movement) to bite their lips inadvertently. Your physician may be very experienced and best qualified to have you reach the right effects in this area. Otherwise, be aware of the potential risks and wait out the complications.
Botox in the Perioral Region
Botox is always injected into a muscle, unlike artificial fillers that are injected into soft tissue. Botox is a neuromodulator, and its action targets muscle activity, specifically weakening target muscles to attain the desired aesthetic improvement. Perioral rejuvenation with Botox requires a very experienced injector, and should be initially injected in small quantities to prevent complications and establish a baseline for future injections. To treat "smoker's lines" Botox is injected into the upper lip. By relaxing the upper lip Orbicularis Oris muscle Botox reduces the appearance of "smoker's lines". Botox can also be injected into the lower lip Depressor Anguli Oris muscle reducing the downward pull of these muscles creating a turned-up corner of the mouth. It is possible that your injector did not satisfactorily target the appropriate muscle, and therefore you did not achieve the desired elevation to the corner of your mouth. I suggest you follow up with the practitioner and voice your concerns..... Dr. Corrado

Botox can be very helpful for treatment of "smoker's lines" around the mouth
Botox can be very helpful for treatment of "smoker's lines" around the mouth. The main risks include asymmetry (more/ less effect on one side) and involvement of muscles that the injector did not intend to weaken. That is likely what is happening in your case as you've noticed some difficulty elevating one side of your mouth. The upside is that this effect is temporary and will wear off. I would recommend returning to your injector to mention your concerns. It is possible, in certain cases, to inject a small amount of additional Botox to provide summetry or just wait until the effect of the Botox dissipates. These injections are always performed into the muscle surrounding the mouth as opposed to the body of the lip itself.

Botox can soften lines around the mouth
I have used Botox to soften unwanted lines and wrinkles of the forehead and face, including around the lips for over 20 years. When using Botox to soften 'smokers lines", IMHO, you need to decrease the number of Botox units used to avoid over-weakening the lip muscles. The first time is a learning curve, for each patient and once the exact location and amount of Botox units is established, this needs to be repeated by whomever does the injection...RN, NP or MD.

Botox Can Be Very Tricky to Use For Lip Wrinkles
I agree that Botox can be quite tricky to use on the lips and that hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are much safer and more effective for lip rejuvenation. When I do use Botox for lip lines I start with extremely small doses first to judge the response. These injections have to be done carefully and symmetrically by someone with a great deal of experience. As always, please remember your results will depend upon the skill and experience of the physician who injected you.

Botox can be useful to address smoker's lines
Botox, in small amounts, can work well to reduce "smoker's lines" when injected appropriately around the lips. Since Botox is intended to soften the fine lines caused by muscle movement, it needs to be injected to the "white lip" and not into the actual "red lip." Depending on the amount of Botox that was injected, the asymmetry may improve slightly over the next few weeks. I would make an appointment to see the physician and discuss your concerns. Good luck!

The Tennessee Walking Horse can still hold it's head high as a breed with organizations like The National Walking Horse Association promoting the sound flat shod naturally gaited walking horse. No gimmicks, no soring. Just a naturally talented breed with appeal to the whole equestrian world.
Previous Stories
What a wonderful organization dedicated to promote the SOUND Tennessee Walking Horse. A member for 10+ years, it has been a great activity for our children and entire family. Great people and wonderful horses make for a Great organization.
NWHA has never waivered from it original goal. Through thick and thin of the USDA HPA world, NWHA has always stood firm for the horse. Based all decisions on doing the right thing when it came to God's wonderful creatures.
What a great place to bring my children up in - knowing the difference between right and wrong when it came to treating animals.
Review from Guidestar
The National Walking Horse Association is a prime of example of how things can be changed for the positive. That change came courage of a few dedicated people. Those few sacrificed their time, effort and own resources to start this organization. Because of those few, our organization has come a long way in a short time. Those few have multiplied and continue to grow.
The NWHA is an organization that promotes the sound practices of training and exhibiting the Tennessee Walking horse. It is also an organization that is just fun to be a part of. People encourage their fellow exhibitor and are more than willing to lend a helping hand. This organization looks for the positive.
Thanks to the founding members for their forsight and courage to establish a change in the world of the Tennessess Walking Horse.
Review from Guidestar
For years the Tennessee Walking Horse has endured abuse in the form of soring. In 1970 the Federal Government responded with the Horse Protection Act. Since the beginning, the Act has attempted to stop the abuse of this magnificent breed but has failed. The practice of abuse continues. The National Walking Horse Association has come about for those of us like me that want a forum to show our sound and natural moving gaited horses. I believe that in the near future they will become the organization of choice for the world to showcase the breed. As a hint of whats to come they were asked to represent the bred in the World Equestrian Games. I believe this is a wonderful organization, with a true message of hope for the future of the Tennessee Walking Horse.
Review from Guidestar
The National Walking Horse Association was formed in 1998 to promote the sound Tennessee walking horse and to end the practice of soring.
Most people outside the horse world, and even some people inside it, are not aware of the abusive training and showing practices of a certain segment of the Tennessee walking horse world. These practices have existed for decades and there is specific legislation prohibiting it, known as the Federal Horse Protection Act. The NWHA offers a show circuit for owners who wish to compete against only sound, healthy horses. At their horse shows, entries are carefully examined prior to admittance, and there is zero tolerance for horses that have any signs of present or past abuse. Horses that do not meet the standard are rejected; while their owners are ticketed and face other consequences.
The NWHA continues its goal of advocating for the end of abusive and inhumane treatment of the Tennessee walking horse. Receipt of the prize money would assist this group in acting on behalf of these voiceless animals.
Review from Guidestar
I have been an owner and exhibitor of the Twh for over40 years. The awefull things they to to compete with these beautiful animals was more that I could deal with. When NWHA started that put the fun back in showing for many of us and especially for the animal. we all show and compete and trail ride on sound animals. It is marvelous.
Review from Guidestar
I have been involved in the Tennessee Walking Horse Industry for over 20 years now. As a child I enjoyed trail riding and showing in youth classes at local shows. My father and I seemed to collect horses over the years, for both the trails and the "rail" and I was very blessed to have owned and own some truly wonderful horses that have become forever friends. The Tennessee Walking Horse Industry is very complex you see. It is comprised of such a wide variety of individuals that each have their own agendas and wish to promote that agenda entirely. My father and I have always and ever been advocates for the SOUND horse and we beleive that horses should be treated and respected and given an environment as close to their natural one as possible to flourish. For an individual like myself who loves to show and wants to educate and network with other SOUND horse people, the NWHA provides a wonderful place to do this. It is truly the only Horse Industry Organization that stands by their word with fair inspections and honest judging. It is a wonderful tapestry of individuals that beleives in the naturally gaited horse and how to go about showcasing their abilities the best way for the horse and the rider. The NWHA also provides an outlet for trail riders, youth and versatility, which are all areas where the Tennessee Walking Horse excels and should be in the public spotlight. The NWHA is the only Tennessee Walking Horse HIO that was invited to preform at the World Equestrian Games that was held in Kentucky this past year (2010) and I can tell you that this came to be becasue of the amazing volunteers, the organization members and the fact that we as gaited horse lovers police ourselves and want good genuine people to promote our breed and not be a deterrent to our wonderful breed. The NWHA does what no other HIO does, it provides unity among it's members and gives us a safe place to exhibit and promote our horses with like-minded individuals. I can honestly say that from showing for over 20 years that this is the first time I have actually felt like I am a part of a family, a show family that appreciates my dedication, my love and my obvious sincerity to the Tennessee Walking Horse and the NWHA not only rewards those that they feel are exceptional they stand by those individuals ideas and contributions. I have been welcomed to the NWHA with warm welcome arms, unlike other organizations I have belonged to in the past and I feel that the NWHA has high standards for it's members yet each and everyone of us want to be a part of this organization because of that. This is an organization with integrity, character and morals and for that I am grateful because I have not been able to find that or the comraderie in other organizations like I have found in this one. A+ to the NWHA and what they provide, their mission sells itself.
Review from Guidestar
The NWHA has helped wonderful, kind, athletic horses, to be taken away from inhumane treatment, and give them an opportunity to be shown in venues, where their natural talents and great dispositions can be appreciated.
It also affords riders of all abilities, and disabilities, to enjoy these great horses, whether they are ridden on the trail, in the show ring, or in their versatility events like dressage, trail obstacle, reining, jumping, etc. Thus NWHA is providing opportunities for a great breed of horses and people of all kinds of abilities to enjoy them.
Review from Guidestar
NWHA has definitely changed the overall image of the Tennessee Walking Horse for the better. Before NWHA, there were few horse shows that one could exhibit their horse and know they were on a level playing field. NWHA has changed that, and given the TWH owners a venue to show with respect, sound practices, and horses who are not in pain and who have better conformation due to more selective breeding practices to get back to that original natural "walking" horse instead of the pacey big lick horses. There is a huge youth membership in this organization, and versatility of the horses owned by these youth is amazing to watch at shows. I love taking my students to shows now, they aren't exposed to unethical training practices at NWHA events.
Review from Guidestar
Before I delve into positive impacts, influences, mission, vision of the NWHA, I believe the reader needs a quick synopsis of why the NWHA exists today.
Since the 1940's the inhumane training practices of the Tennessee Walking Horse(TWH) became widespread and prevalent. The practice of soring the front ankles to enhance their gait for national competition became the norm and IS heavily ingrained in the culture of the padded performance TWH industry . Although the Federal Horse Protection Act of 1977 was meant to protect the horse and prohibit such hideous acts, these practices are STILL prevalent in 2011.
The NWHA was formed for breeders, owners, and exhibitors who love the breed and realize there IS a better way. With a strong mission statement and a vision to promote the naturally gaited Walking Horse, it offers a wonderful alternative to showcase and promote the flat-shod TWH. Since I have been involved with this organization I have witnessed this organization change the hearts and minds of persons who have participated on the "inhumane" side of the TWH industry. The NWHA continues to promote positively, maintain their integrity, and allows the membership to drive the organization.
In summary, the NWHA offers a three (3) important aspects. 1) It offers a culture and vision for members to be involved in and organization who supports the HUMANE treatment and training of such a wonderful breed. 2) It offers stringent enforcement of the Horse Protection Act, to ensure the horse is protected 3) Offers an alternative for those who EVENTUALLY realize inhumane treatment of the TWH is ethically and morally wrong.
Review from Guidestar
It was through the NWHA that I was introduced to the Tennessee Walking Horse breed. Watching the behavior of these horses and their owners/riders at a large regional horse show, with one rider even asking me to hold her horse while she checked on a ruling, showed me some very positive things about this breed of horse and the friendliness of the people within NWHA. Several months later I adopted a Walking Horse of my own. The NWHA had opened my eyes to what a Walking Horse should be and could be as an alternative to the gross exageration that I had seen in the media. The NWHA promotes the versatility and utility of the Walking Horse, sponsors many events and activities that appeal to Walking Horse owners, young and old, as well as works toward developing the potential of the breed in general. Because of the information that I've learned from the people within this organization I was able to help a friend to find a Walking Horse of her own. It is a tribute to this organization that they were selected to be the breed affiliate for the Walking Horse at the 2010 World Equestrian Games. A high honor indeed. This board and members of this organization make the NWHA a "people-oriented" horse association that I'm proud know.

Self Check-In Kiosks
The South Jordan Health Center is one of the first health care facilities in Utah to utilize self-checkin kiosks. This innovative offering streamlines the admittance process, working much like the self-check-in kiosks in airports. Patients use one of the several computers at each station to check themselves in. They are then shown a directional map, highlighting where they need to go in the building. Upon check-in, a message is instantly sent to the correct clinic or specialty area, so that the proper staff will be ready to greet the patient.
Designed with a modern, circular style, the kiosks are instantly accessible and located next to the elevators in the same location on all three floors. The computer screens have been designed to maintain patient privacy. Only the person standing directly in front of the monitor can see the information on the screen. The kiosks are also staffed by Guest Relations Specialists who can answer questions and provide additional guidance.

The Minnesota Twins have traded catcher Drew Butera to the Los Angeles Dodgers for either a player to be named or cash.
The deal was done right before the non-waiver trade deadline on Wednesday afternoon.
Butera was the backup to Joe Mauer for most of the last three seasons, but he has spent all but the last week with Triple-A Rochester this year. When Mauer was out on paternity leave, Butera appeared in two games.
Alex Gordon hit a two-out triple in the seventh inning and then scored the go-ahead run for Kansas City on an error by Minnesota, and the Royals won their eighth straight game with a 4-3 victory over the Twins on Wednesday night.

©2007 Lori Foster; (P)2007 Audible, Inc.
All rights reserved including the right of reproduction in whole or in part in any form. This edition is published by arrangement with Harlequin Books S.A. All characters in this book are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
"Fun book, good narrator"
This was my first Lori Foster romance - and the only one currently on audible. I enjoyed it as a short, inexpensive listen. It's typical romance novel fare with a happy ending - in this genre, it's all about the journey, which I found entertaining.
This book is actually part of a series - I figured that out from the characterizations of the hero's friends, and did some looking around. The others aren't available on audio, but Beguiled (Dane) and Wanton (Alec) come before, and Treat Her Right (Zack) and Mr. November (Josh) come after.
I liked the narrator for this book - I especially liked the voice he gave the hero, and how he kept all the characters separate and easy to follow. I hope he records the rest of this series. I find the narration can make or break any audio book, and this guy was real easy to listen to.
"Caught me!"
Lori Foster's characters were so believable it was refreshing, with the intensity of their emotions to the inadequite way they handled those emotions. The story wisked me from the daily grind.
Well if you like sex scenes than this book is for you! This is the first book I have read/listened to by Lori Foster and it was good - not great. It was very strange that the two main characters had never met but within 24 hours she was "taking care of him" wink..wink. Could have had a less predictable ending.
"Caught in the Act"
I'll admit I love anything by Lori Foster, but this has got to be one of the best. I stayed up all night listening to Mick's story. The narrator was perfect. You feel as if you are in Mick's head. You fall in love as he falls in love with the mysterious and lovely Delia. Is she a liar? Is she a thief? Is she the woman of his dreams despite her faults? This story was so hot it left me hungry for more. I actually listened to the best parts over and over. It is a sexy romance, and a fast paced thriller all rolled into one. Listen to the first chapter and I promise you'll get caught up in it too.
"Third Book in the series"
LOVED it! "Beguiled" introduces Mick as a 16 yr old boy. In"Caught in the Act",Mick is now the man he was meant to be, falling for the only woman that could captivate him body and soul. Your heart will ache... vivid characters and hot love scenes make you want to listen a second time. Highly recommend all 5 books. "Wanton" is my least favorite. 1. Beguiled 2. Wanton 3.Caught in the Act 4. Treat Her Right 5. Mr. November... download them all and listen in order.
loves non-fiction, memoir and biography or the classics.
"Not that Bad"
This book was ok. It seemed a bit empty - like the plot was too simple and ultimately there were parts that went unexplained. If you're not looking for something phenomenal but just something to keep you company as you drive...it will do that.
"Caught in the act"
I was not sure if I would like this book during the first chapter, then I could not put it down, listened to it in one day.
"Oozing with Maleness"
What an awesome story of maleness, love and acceptance. The love scenes were oolala. The story line was very different and added a different kind of mystery. The men in the story were full of testerone and I loved it. I was able to visualize each character. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have listened to it at least 3 times.
"Great narrator!"
Okay book - EXCELLENT narrator!
Story was okay but the narrator made it up for the weak story.
The actual story was not bad, but was poorly written. Although the narrater had little to work with it could have been read with more emphasis on each character.
The first 3 chapters was what the cop wanted to do to Del, and what Del wanted to do to him. It was so slow, I didn't think I could finish it, but then decided to forward to the next chapter, listen a few minitutes and go to the next chapter...and doing it that way I was able to get the gist of what was happening and get through it.
Not enough voice fluctuation.
I would rewrite the whole thing. Rather than just going over and over how sexually attracted Del and Mick were to each other, I'd give a little background on the main characters, bring their lives up to date when they finally meet, so the listener would at least know something about the characters and maybe it wouldn't seem so unrealistic. It appeared the author needed to write a certain amount of chapters, so filled in with MUCH repitition, and no substance.

Goals: Brisbane Lions: Rockliff 2, McGuane 2, Moloney, Mayes, West, Lester. Sydney: Franklin 2, Pyke 2, Kennedy 2, McGlynn 2, McVeigh, Jetta, Reid, Cunningham.
Best: Brisbane Lions: Moloney, Adcock, Rich, Hanley, Redden. Swans: McVeigh, Malceski, Kennedy, Richards, Hannebery.
It's not every day - ever, really - that you get to watch footballers of the calibre of Jonathan Brown and Lance Franklin play on open suburban grounds. The few thousand people who made it to the Moreton Bay Complex at Burpengary, in Brisbane's deep north, were lured by the prospect.
Not that the coaches of the Brisbane Lions or Sydney had an exhibition in mind before season 2014 kicks off in earnest next week: both teams' key forward targets were withdrawn after half-time, with Franklin getting a knock to his quad that probably won't keep him out of round one but was enough for John Longmire to put his superstar recruit in cotton wool.
Franklin kicked two goals for the half, the first after gathering the loose ball at half-forward, then showing too much agility and speed for Daniel Merrett as he wheeled onto his left foot and slotted it from outside 50 metres, a goal few other players could have kicked.
Brown was playing his first match since tearing his plantar fascia muscle in his foot in round 19 last year, and was never likely to play more than a half. He barely touched the ball, but it would be unfair to judge him harshly after such a long layoff, opposed to one of the league's best defenders in Heath Grundy.
But Brown's impotence, and the failure of Luke McGuane to have a significant impact, underlines the Lions' worries in attack. An awful lot is being left to their midfielders.
Then again, that's been a problem for a few years, since Daniel Bradshaw left, Brendan Fevola came and went, and Brown suffered a series of horrendous facial and other injuries.
For the Swans, of course, Franklin is simply the cream on an already rich cake.
The Lions were actually dominant for much of the first quarter, despite kicking against a strong wind. Brent Moloney had brought his own ball (and kicked the first goal), and captain Jed Adcock and Daniel Rich were prominent, but the longer the match went, the greater the Swans' class told, especially in defence.
With Brown easily held, Nick Malceski, Ted Richards, Grundy and Heath Shaw mopped up the Lions' incursions with ease. Malceski was especially good, picking out targets in tough conditions with his raking kicks.
And although it didn't exactly rain goals for the Swans either, they made better use of their opportunities.
Familiar names dominated - Jarrad McVeigh was the Swans' best, Josh Kennedy and Kieren Jack both won a heap of the footy, and Daniel Hannebery got better as the match went on.
Best for the Lions were top draft pick James Aish, who looks perfectly at home, and Justin Clarke in defence. But they kicked just three goals in close to three quarters of football, before a brief flurry either side of the last change, a challenge the Swans quickly quelled.

Interviewing Jon Siskel: Director of "Louder Than A Bomb"
June 22, 2011 Leave a comment
The documentary film Louder Than A Bomb recently opened in select theaters and, at the time of this posting, still has a most impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film, directed by Jon Siskel and Greg Jacobs, explores the Louder Than A Bomb poetry slam competition in Chicago – the world's largest of its kind with over 60 area high schools competing. The film provides us with an inside view to the competition, following four schools in particular. Students Nate, Nova, Adam and the kids from Steinmetz High School are examined throughout. An entertaining and inspiring film, the film is proving to be a darling of the Festival circuit as well, garnering many awards on the way. The movie has also been selected for the "OWN Documentary Club," a monthly documentary showcase on the new Oprah Winfrey Network. This is the first feature film that Emmy Award-winner Jon Siskel has directed. I had an opportunity to speak with Mr. Siskel last week to talk about his film, its impact so far, the students examined, and his legendary uncle.
PETER: Jon, I stated in my review that after seeing so many documentaries showing us what is wrong with our schools and the world in general, it was refreshing to see one showing us what was right with the schools…
JON: Amen…
PETER: …and the film is very inspiring. Was that the goal when you and Greg [co-director] started out with this project?
JON: [chuckling] No, it wasn't. We were thrilled that that's what has happened, but really we were just captivated by what we were seeing on stage. It was really the interaction between the poet on stage and the audience…that energy in the room was so exciting to us that we really thought The Slam would make a great idea [for a film]. We liked the competition genre for documentaries and felt like this would be a great vehicle for telling a story about that community which was something we didn't know much about. Even being from Chicago where The Slam started, I was just not in tune with The Slam scene. So that's what interested us and along the way, once we got into the classrooms and saw the work that was being done and the dedication and commitment of the teachers, it became clear to us that there was something really amazing happening there.
PETER: You mentioned the teachers and coaches…I must tell you, before this I was an English and theatre teacher for 9 years. And a couple of things caught my attention from that perspective and working directly with students. One was — and it comes across in the film — seeing the passion that these students have for the competition and the art of poetry in general. Did you get a chance to speak with the coaches and find out what their secret was in getting their students so amped up about poetry because that's really not the easiest thing to get kids excited about?
JON: Right. You know, it's interesting. I think the coaches probably didn't have to do a lot to get the kids amped about it. The kids are already so excited and each one comes to it from different angles, different perspectives and different things draw them into it. If anything, I think the coaches just have to put the reins on them more. It's really just managing the kids' energy more than anything. They're just incredibly dedicated to the students and to what The Slam is doing in their schools and for the kids.
PETER: Is it catching on? Are other cities and states conducting their own high school poetry slam competitions?
JON: There are slam communities all over the country. And D.C. has a great, thriving Slam scene. There's a huge movement around the country, but I think what makes Chicago's Slam and Louder Than A Bomb unique is that it starts in the classroom with this teamwork…this team building part of it. That's not the way it's done in other cities. In San Francisco, individuals slam and they do their pieces and then there's a national slam called "Brave New Voices" that kind of push four or five of the best poets together, they make a team and then they go to do the Slam together. But in Chicago, from the very beginning, it's all about that teamwork and collaborative writing. And we're using the film now to help Kevin [Coval, co-founder of LTAB] and Louder Than A Bomb to expand in the city, which it has. When we started filming there were 40 teams. This year's slam there were 75, I think. And there will probably be another 10 or so added to that next year. But even beyond the city, we have the first Louder Than A Bomb outside of Chicago. We started Louder Than A Bomb Tulsa with 4 teams about four months ago and next year they already have 10 teams lined up so we really want to help use the film to spread this around the country and in the classroom.
PETER: Is there a supplementary DVD that teachers can use as a tool to help their own students in putting their own words on paper?
JON: We have an educational DVD and Kevin [Coval], the founder, is building a curriculum around the poems in the film so that teachers can use this in the classroom. It's been great getting it in front of high school students. The first questions they ask afterwards is, "How do I do this in my school?" "How can I write like that? "I want that in my school." That's what we're going to be able to give them with this.
PETER: And I would think that students, when they see the type of poetry being written, that it's not what they initially had in mind. I mean Nova and Nate and Adam…these are kids that are speaking right from the heart. I think that might turn some students on, who perhaps initially thought that they might have to write something like Tennyson or Byron or Keats.
JON: Exactly. I remember a teacher telling me…because we do bring the movie to a lot of schools…she said that her kids said, "Oh God! We have to go see this movie about poetry…and it's documentary!" It was like a double whammy.
PETER: Thank God it wasn't subtitled too!
JON: [laughter] Right. But then the kids after the film were saying that they were blown away. They had no idea that poetry was like that. Now they like documentaries. It's been great for them.
PETER: The second thing that caught my attention as an English teacher was that, when given the opportunity, children are very capable of doing some pretty amazing things. And you have some students here writing some great work. Were you shocked by the talents of these kids?
JON: Yeah, I was. For me, I'm shocked just by, not even the talented kids, but the kids who we call the "brave poets" – kids who get up in front of the mic with paper shaking and pour their hearts out. They may not do it as artfully as Nova, but I find that kid just as impressive. But to your question about the talent…we spent a year on development finding our poets and our characters… because at that time there were about 40 teams participating and we said to Kevin [Coval] that we want the best poets. We thought that if you are going to make a film about poetry and poetry slams, the poetry should be really good. Again, it's great that there are these "brave poets," but if an audience is going to watch, we want to dazzle them. So Kevin helped us narrow it down to about a dozen schools and so over the course of that year, we went out to those schools. We didn't even bring cameras. It was just observing, talking to the poets, talking to the coaches, going home with some of the kids who we thought were interesting and narrowed it down to those four.
PETER: And the Steinmetz school probably being the obvious choice, simply because they were defending their crown as champions.
JON: Exactly. And we did film that year's competition. That's where it really became solidified and crystallized for us…that we wanted Steinmetz, we wanted the returning champion – and they were amazing poets. And we wanted Nate who had done his Lebron James piece, which just blew our minds…and Nova was incredible and we wanted to have a suburban school too. Beyond the great poets, we were looking for them to reflect the diversity that is in Louder Than A Bomb and a geographic diversity. So all of that went into picking those four. It's interesting because some people in the Q&A's have asked if there were other teams because I think some filmmakers will follow six story lines and drop a few – but we never did that. We only picked these 4 and were committed to them from the beginning.
PETER: Well, you got lucky then…because each story arc is so compelling to watch.
JON: Yeah, we did. We really did.
PETER: Do you know how much footage overall that you and Greg actually shot?
JON: Yeah, we've been using the number 350…something around that. Somewhere between 300 and 350 hours. So there was a lot on the cutting room floor.
PETER: So I can look forward to seeing all of that on the uncut director's DVD edition?
JON: Yeah, in the extras. For the educational DVD, we've included one extra poem from Nate, but then the film was picked up by OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. And hopefully, when we put out the DVD with them I will be able to put in some extras because there's just a lot of great stuff, a lot of great poems. And also, the Steinmenots [students from Steinmetz H.S.] are so funny…there's just all this great stuff of them too.
PETER: Just to give my readers an idea of some of the students that the film focuses on…can you speak about Nova? She was fascinating to watch. Her upbringing with her challenged younger brother and certainly the relationship with her father and the work that is coming out of her. She seemed very mature and came across as being 17 going on 30.
JON: Yeah. And she talks about that in the film…having all of this responsibility thrust on her. She welcomed it and she is glad that she is older than her age, in a way. She's an incredible person. At first, very steely and kind of impenetrable. But once we really started talking to her and getting into the interviews, she really opened up to us. She is a great writer. She's so articulate about what she's writing about — her family and about her father. The interviews were very revealing. Nova's a great example, but I think it's true of all of them — the beauty of the film is to be able to see how the writing reflects their world and they reflect the world in their writing. And Nova…she talks about the writing. How it's kind of therapeutic for her. It really allowed her to open up and wrestle openly with the stuff she kept bottled up for so long.
PETER: I actually even enjoyed watching her reaction when she doesn't make the team her freshman year. And seeing her passionate reaction…
JON: Yes…
PETER: …which is typical Nova once you get to know her a bit during the course of the film. You see that fire inside of her. The second student I'd like you to speak to…what a pleasure to watch Adam Gottlieb.
JON: Isn't it?
PETER: What a great young man. I would love to have this kid in my classroom every day! Can you speak about Adam for us?
JON: I think audiences, when they first see him, you know, there's a little laughter…the kid with the long hair, clearly kind of "nerdy" or whatever…but you meet him and his parents and he's wearing the "Keeping it Kosher" T-shirt. But then he gets up on stage and he starts to do "Poet Breathe Now" and he just grabs the audience by the throat. What I love about Adam is that he's the sweetest, most gentle, most real kid I have ever met. I think I'm actually quoting what Kevin Coval said about him in the film. He's wonderful – and it's been great taking this film out with these guys. We've been able to bring Adam out on the road with us – and to see him interact with audiences is a lot of fun. I would encourage your readers to get out and see it because there's nothing like seeing this film in a theater with other people…that communal experience and seeing this film in particular, I think is very special.
PETER: The second poem Adam recites shows us his incredible range. Some students, I would think, may fall into the same trap of rehashing the very same themes…
JON: Exactly…
PETER: …and Nova does it also. She went the other way and did something very loving rather than something where she is venting her anger and frustration.
JON: Yes, exactly.
PETER: Now, obviously, you are the nephew of the celebrated film critic Gene Siskel. I'm sure you get asked this a lot. As a film buff, I always looked up to him and his work. Having that connection with him as your uncle, did you know from an early age that you wanted to be a part of films and direct?
JON: No. [laughter] I wish I could say that was true. He definitely gave me an appreciation of films. I grew up going to movies with him all the time. Sometimes seeing two or three movies a day. But I was an English Lit major and really wanted to write short stories and did some writing out of college for newspapers and magazines. But then I slowly made my way out to Los Angeles and got into TV and film. Once that door kind of opened up, it was a real "A-ha" kind of moment…that marriage of words and picture really worked for me – and I had always been a fan of documentaries. I just never thought about it for myself. Then I just immersed myself…following cameramen, and sitting in the edits, observing every part of it.
PETER: Last question. I think the goal of many documentary filmmakers is to somehow get their audience to take action in some shape or form. What do you want the people that go to see Louder Than A Bomb to walk away with?
JON: That's a great question. There are a lot of answers to that. I just want as many people to see it as possible. But the thing that I really want people to walk away with is that they made a connection with these individuals…with Adam and Nate and Nova and Lamar and the Steinmenots. That these are real kids, real people with amazing stories to tell and it's that personal connection to the kids that I hope people walk away with. We wanted to make an entertaining film and it being brought into the classroom is wonderful. But more than anything else, it's that personal connection to the individuals. I love when people come up to me after the film and talk about Nova by name and Nate by name – not "the black kid" and not "the Jewish Kid" – but rather, "I'm so glad I got to meet Adam." That's what I am most moved by and want people to connect with.
PETER: Yes, I think that all of the students are relatable in one way or another. And, it's interesting, you didn't seem to fall into the easy trap of preaching about the socio-economic backgrounds that some of the kids come from. The film doesn't preach to us. It lets the competition and the students and the work speak for itself.
JON: Exactly. We didn't want to make a kind of hammering-over-the-head, political or dogmatic kind of film. We knew that in reflecting the kids' work, the teachers work in the classroom, and The Slam…that all of that other stuff would come bubbling up and you would walk away being moved and inspired by all of these kids.
PETER: Well, Jon I want to thank you for speaking with me. I appreciate you taking the time out. Again, great film. And hopefully you get a great turnout.
JON: Yes, thanks very much Peter. I really appreciate it.

Night Markets
Night markets are listed on most travel guides to Taiwan as places to visit, but what exactly are they and why are they so popular?
Pretty much every reasonably sized town and every city in Taiwan has at least one night market, some markets during the day then becoming ??night?? markets, and others only springing into life when the sun goes down. The common factor of a night market though is a place where people come to eat, shop, play games and generally have fun. Think of a night market as hundreds of stalls collectively gathered together in one fairly enclosed area.
At times I have been walking down a fairly major road in more rural towns and by the time I have reached the end the road has been transformed into a bustling center of activity. Traffic rules are suddenly put in place, and voila, a night market is born.
I think the most important ingredient for a traveller is that night markets (for the most part - one in particular in Taipei comes to mind as an exception) are not set up for tourists; they are places where local Taiwanese go on a regular basis and as such they really provide the traveller with a real experience of an important aspect of Taiwanese culture.
I did mention shopping, but it??s unlikely that you will find any particular items of interest, unless pink flashing alarm clocks or clothing with questionable designs are your thing (and they are cheap). Don??t expect them to last for more than a few days though, and if you do buy any battery powered item make sure you take the batteries out before you fly back. One of my most embarrassing experiences at the airport was when my suitcase started mooing after being checked through. Lesson learnt.
The overwhelming attraction of night markets is food. You might have seen the strange food guy on television try some of the more unusual offerings, but don??t let that put you off, there are more ??normal?? things to try. There is such a diverse selection that it??s impossible to cover everything, and night markets in different areas have different specialities. For example in Chiayi you can find turkey rice which as far as I know is still special to that area, and in Lugang the oyster omelets are supposed to be the best. I think the best thing to do, as always when you are in a new country, is try. Walk round the stalls and when you see something you might fancy, have a go. Don??t be too concerned with what exactly it is because unless you speak Mandarin you most likely won??t know even if they tell you, but things like the Taiwanese corn dogs, garlic sausage, roast duck, barbecued squid, veggie kebabs, oyster noodle soup, fresh fruit, candied fruit (I could go on) are delicious. And it??s so cheap that even if you don??t like it, you only lose a dollar or two.
There are a couple of things that I have found tourists generally dislike (me included); smelly tofu and chicken claws. The first you can avoid with your nose, and the second, well you can take some fun photos and the vendor won??t generally be upset if you re-enact a scene from a horror film (as long as you paid for them).
I shouldn??t forget the games, because they can be fun. As a traveller you will almost certainly attract attention if you decide to play (especially outside Taipei), but it will be mostly curiosity and you are sure to win new friends win or lose. Well except for the stall owner if you win! Games include throwing darts at balloons, throwing a hoop over rings, shooting air pellet guns and the like.
The things you should be prepared for are the number of people, smells and heat (obviously unless it??s around now (November) when things have cooled off). As I mentioned night markets are very popular destinations for local Taiwanese, and as such they can get packed, especially at weekends and holidays. Some markets such as Di Hua Street in Taipei are particularly popular during Chinese New Year and it can get insanely crowded. And I am not trying to put you off going, far from it, I think a night market should be on the ??must do?? list, but I think the more you are prepared the easier it will be.
The best way to find a night market near you is to ask your hotel. The most famous in Taipei is the Shilin night market, and for ease of getting there (via the MRT) it is a good bet (and not the one I mentioned above which I can??t mention by name). You can find a list of other popular night markets here: http://eng.taiwan.net.tw/m1.aspx?sNo=0002040
There is also a dedicated site (with English) where you can find all the latest night market news here: http://www.2010night.com/
So enjoy your trip to a night market near you, and let me know how you get on!

FONTANA >> Roger Penske has not won an IndyCar Series title since 2006, although he has come close numerous times. Tonight's MAVTV 500 at Auto Club Speedway in the season finale represents his team's best opportunity to end the drought.
When the green flag drops at 7:20 p.m. (NBCSN), Penske will have cars on both ends of the starting grid.
Helio Castroneves, second in points, will start on the pole, having waited until the end of qualifying to post a 218.540 mph two-lap average around the two-mile speedway. He has able to edge Team Penske teammate Juan Pablo Montoya, who opened the comnpetition at 217.621 mph.
But a poor two-lap effort by points leader Will Power, who dropped off considerably from his warmup lap to post a lap at 212.604 mph, was 21st of the 22 cars that qualified. Only rookie Carlos Huertas was slower than Power, who had run 221 mph in the morning practice session.
"For starting positions, we would have liked to start from the front, but starting in both the front or very back can help keep you out of trouble," said Power, the defending race winner. "It was just I tried to get low in (Turn) 1. Got on a seam and had a moment. Sure, there could have been a much better qualifying, but it went as bad as it could possibly go. At the end of the day, we were just too loose.
"From the back you learn what your car is like in traffic and we will have three hours to do it.
"It will be a long race."
By winning the pole for the third time since 2003 at Fontana and the 41st time in his Indy car career, Castroneves trimmed a point off Power's lead. He will enter the race 50 points behind Power, but 31 ahead of third-place Simon Pagenaud, the only drivers in title contention.
"Going out last really helped because I was able to get my teammates' feedback and we made some changes that really helped us get the pole," said Castroneves, who was in a similar spot a year ago when Scott Dixon won the championship. "We need to keep going. We are starting up front, but it is a long race and we know what we need to do to make it happen. This is the first step.
"We need to make sure we end up where we start."
Castroneves admittedly had a case of the nerves before he made his two-lap effort. Both his and Power's cars have similar setups.
"I'll tell you what, I was freaking out because not much we can do except the front wing, and we did make some adjustments, obviously, on the car," said Castroneves. "But I was very concerned because once you get in those scenarios, if it happens to one car, it can happen to others."
Whether it's Power or Castroneves, there will be some stiff competition.
Montoya is the most recent 500-mile race winner (Pocono), while Ryan Hunter-Reay won the Indianapolis 500 in May. In fact, there have been different winners in the last eight IndyCar 500-milers: the late Dan Wheldon (2011 Indy), Dario Franchitti (2012 Indy), Ed Carpenter (2012 Fontana), Tony Kanaan (2013 Indy), Dixon and Montoya.
Behind the Penske drivers on the grid will be Josef Newgarden, Takuma Sato, Dixon, Charlie Kimball, Tony Kanaan, Pagenaud teammate Mikhail Aleshin, Hunter-Reay and Graham Rahal.
Newgarden thought he might have missed an opportunity to win the pole, given the windy, dusty and hot conditions.
"Nobody really knew what line to use. Some were going high, some low and middle, and drivers were even changing throughout the run," said the Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing driver. "If you look at our second lap, it was so much quicker than our first. And I think our first lap would have been quicker if I did a better job with my line choice in Turns 1 and 2.
"It's always hindsight when you come in after a run and you think, 'If I would have just done this different, maybe we would have been sitting in a different spot,' and today I think we would. I think we could have been a pole contender today. We just missed it."
Carpenter, who finished second to Power last year, will start 14th, just one spot behind Pagenaud.
"Wow, I almost crashed on the first lap," said Carpenter. "Then I really almost crashed on the second lap. I had to get off the throttle badly in turn two. The track was just too hot for our setup."
Power tried to put a positive spin on his starting so far back in the field.
"Everything is going to be where I finish. It helps, you know, just to keep yourself out of trouble, but then again, you definitely learn traffic on the way through," he said. "If you can keep yourself on stride, you learn what your car is like in traffic and probably get pretty good at passing. You've got three hours to work your way to the front.
"I think that's got to be the mindset."
Castroneves said all he can do is keep looking ahead.
"I'm not worried about him (Power)," he said. "I think I have not only him but also 20 other cars really hungry to go and win this race, and that's what I'm focusing on — look ahead and hopefully never look back."
Friday's practice ended with a scary crash in Turn 4 that resulted in Aleshin being airlifted to Loma Linda Medical Center. The Russian dipped below the white line, spun and headed up to the wall, where he was T-boned by Kimball, vaulting him into the catch fence.
Aleshin complained about his right shoulder and right foot, but was conscious when he was loaded for the flight, according to IndyCar orthopedist Dr. Terry Trammel. Team sources indicated it was a broken right shoulder which, if true, will keep him out of the finale.
Aleshin, who narrowly avoided Dixon at the bottom of the 75-foot wide track, hit nose-first and his front tire got entangled in the fence, leaving a hole of an estimated 25 feet. Kimball also lost the front part of his racecar and collected Marco Andretti while sliding back down the track.
Kimball was checked out and cleared at the track's infield care center.

Honor Societies
Honor Societies
Honor societies have a wide range of purposes. There are regional, national, international societies, societies for specific class levels or types of students, societies with specific missions or goals and discipline specific societies. Most honor societies charge a fee, usually for lifetime membership.
The benefits of joining vary and depend on the student. Many societies have a chapter presence on the campus that provides leadership, community service and/or a wide range of other valuable assets. Many honor societies offer scholarship opportunities or discounts on items that are of value to an undergraduate.
Association of College Honor Societies
The Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) is an organization that offers certification for college and university honor societies. They have some good advice on their site to help you make the decision about joining a particular group. Not all societies request certification, so there can be high end societies not on their certification list.
Honors Societies at UCR
Phi Beta Kappa – The nation's oldest, largest and most prestigious academic honor society, was founded on December 5, 1776 by five students at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Howlin' Wolfmother
"Hi we're Wolfmother and we're going to take you into another dimension."
It was a well-loved and well-worn dimension that the hottest young rock band in the country, Sydney trio Wolfmother, launched us into with opening song Dimension on the first of three nights at the Corner Hotel last weekend.
Singer Andrew Stockdale dabbled in some Jack White-esque punkabilly nursery rhymes, but their sound is mostly from the '70s golden era of rock: Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin guitar riffs and fantasy lyrics elevated by supercharged Deep Purple keyboards.
The mixed crowd, some donning the Wolfmother headband, lapped it up, clapping, singing, howling, playing air guitar, galloping on imaginary horses to the loping rhythm and just nodding approval.
The first time the band played in Melbourne, at the Ding Dong Lounge last year, they were three nervous, skinny boys having a garage jam on stage.
But since blowing away crowds at Meredith and the Big Day Out and impressing at Austin, Texas' recent South by Southwest festival, they have grown in stature in proportion to singer's afro.
They got the hits - Dimension, Woman, Apple Tree - out of the way early before delving into heavy psychedelic territory, showing restraint and teasing the crowd by riffing on one bluesy note before plunging into squalling solos and busy drum fills.
After going home and listening to Black Sabbath records after the show, it dawns on you that the Mother have a long way to go to get close to the Sabbs.
But for a generation who grew up watching a sedated train wreck of an Ozzy mumbling his way through The Osbournes, do yourself a favour: go listen to the original and the best and then savour the thrill of a young, hot local version keeping the stoner rock flame alive.
Back in the remix
Last week Sticky questioned whether the Stones should stop trying to top the rock classics of their youth such as Street Fighting Man and Gimme Shelter, strip things back and write a rootsy blues-country album like Beggar's Banquet.
After all, weren't they just 20-year-olds trying to emulate 60-year-olds back then anyway?
Or should they reinvent their sound, like the Beatles, who have just given the go-ahead to have 14 of their classics, such as Eleanor Rigby, Blackbird and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds remixed by obscure contemporary DJs such as Skylab2000, Eros and the Natural?
It's probably one of the few things that forward-thinking Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney have agreed on lately, but it is dangerous territory.
What would John Lennon think? We would have liked to have heard a remix by an electronic act that understands organic music, such as the Chemical Brothers (who pretty much use Tomorrow Never Knows as their blueprint), or try something inventive, such as when DJ Danger Mouse juxtaposed Jay-Z's Black Album with the Beatles' White Album on The Grey Album.
Tee up a US tour
Where does one turn to make a crust once the pop career is flagging? Why, a rock'n'roll celebrity tour of the US, of course.
Former Models singer James Freud and saxman Wilbur Wilde are presenting their 16-day Rock'n'Golf Tour, which they claim is "not just a holiday . . . it's a celebrity experience"!
From $438 per day, Wilde and Freud offer to entertain you with an intimate performance and stories of their glory days while touring landmarks such as Graceland, Sun Records and the Brill Building.
And on a shopping trip, James will enlighten you with what he can remember of his time with Michael Hutchence and Charles and Di.
"This tour will be a trip down the '80s memory lane," the press release promises. "So bring your hairspray and mascara." "It's Air Force One on wheels," adds Freud.
If only you could choose your hosts for a similar experience. Give us Keith Richards, Lee "Scratch" Perry and PJ Harvey in the Bahamas and we might be interested.
But if Wilbur and James are your thing, check out usamusictours.com
Playing with the classics
On their CD Museum Fatigue, the Histrionics rewrote classic rock songs to pay tribute to visual art culture.
In a muse on the Berlin art scene, Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing was transformed into Children of Berlin, and 10CC's Dreadlock Holiday became Pad Thai Takeaway, in celebration of Thai curator, artist and cook Rirkrit Tiravanija.
The band's works, paintings, costumes and footage of a recent European tour will be on display in Museum Fatigue, at Silvershot, level 3, 167 Flinders Lane, until May 7, and the band play at Cherry bar tonight at 9pm.
Tonight - Want one of Melbourne's funkiest bands to play in your backyard? If you turn up to Bomba's gig at St Kilda's Prince of Wales tonight, sign up for the Bomba email list and you could be chosen for the next venue.
Also tonight, Dan Brodie rocks the Corner with Brisbane's Gin Club (who also play tomorrow at Fitzroy's Old Bar); Legends of Motorsport, Swedish Magazines, Zombie Sex Gang and the Dacios rock the Espy; Blueline Medic are at Fitzroy's Evelyn Hotel; Architecture In Helsinki play the Northcote Social Club tonight and tomorrow; Crew Jamaica Productions celebrate the music of hip-hop icons Biggie and Tupac; and the Off the Hip label celebrates its fourth birthday with the Crusaders, Thee Psycho Delmatics and Lords of Gravity.
Zydeco Jump, Phil Manning, Louisiana Shakers and Steve Purcell & the Pearly Shells headline the inaugural Williamstown Blues/Music Festival this weekend; and on Sunday, catch Nina Ferro at St Kilda's National Theatre; the Detonators rock the Bendigo Hotel, Collingwood; David Juriansz launches his new album at Brunswick's Cornish Arms; the Davidson Brothers play St Kilda's Greyhound Hotel; and Ground Components and Betchadupa headline Rock 'n' Bowl 2 at Kingpin Bowling Lounge, Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, from 2pm.

It began as just a sweet little post with Beth's tutorial on how to take glowing pictures of your Christmas tree using a special trick with her camera. She had no idea what was about to happen.
Suddenly, a few people began pinning that photo on Pinterest, which spread like wildfire, and eventually went viral. Before you she knew it, Beth was a celebrity of sorts. Over 46,000 shares of that photo led to her blog. Amazing!
Now Beth has started a "show your glow" Christmas tree decorating link party here, where hundreds of others are sharing their holiday photos.
A tutorial here, on how to get that "glowing light" effect in your photos. No, those weren't all lights on her Christmas tree!
Thanks for the inspiration Beth.
The moral of the story; there is huge power in sharing both in the virtual world and the "real" world. And FYI... if you'd like to do some sharing of your own on Pinterest, shoot me your email and I'll get your invite right out!

Happy Friday! You've made it to the end of the work week. Time for some data center levity.
Each Friday, Data Center Knowledge features a cartoon drawn by Diane Alber, our fav data center cartoonist, and our readers suggest funny captions. Please visit Diane's website Kip and Gary for more of her data center humor.
The caption contest works like this: We provide the cartoon and you, our readers, submit the captions. We then choose finalists and the readers vote for their favorite funniest suggestion.
Congratulations to Jim Leach of Raging Wire for "I like her, but I'm just not ready for a 2N relationship." for the Valentine's Day cartoon.
This week Diane writes, "So the newest craze on youtube is called the "Harlem Shake" and I just love it! If you haven't seen it yet, you soon will, it's becoming as popular as the "plank". Anyway, the Harlem shake is basically when a single person starts dancing all by themselves with a mask or helmet over there head and then as soon as the base drops the entire room starts going crazy. Well, I had to have Kip and Gary par take in the fun and what better place than the tape storage room! The only problem is I don't think Gary has any idea of what is going on. . ."

Seattle Mariners were founded in 1977 after the relocation of Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee Wisconsin. The team is currently owned by Nintendo of America which also owns two other teams Toronto Blue Jays and Atlanta Braves under corporate ownership, general manager of the team is Jack Zduriencik and manager is Eric Wedge. From their debut till 1999, the Mariners played all their home games at the scenic King County Domed Stadium or famously known as Kingdome but since then they have shifted to the very spacious Safeco Field which has a capacity to seat over 47000 spectators. The official colors of the team are navy blue, metallic silver, white and northwest green. The official mascot is the Mariner Moose which can be seen walking during all Mariner games and the team is nicknamed The M's.
In the year 2000, Seattle Mariners performed quite well as they stood 2nd in the American League West Division and won the American League Division Series by beating the very strong Chicago White Sox 3-0, they lost the Championship series to New York Yankees by 4-1. The year of 2001 proved to the best ever season for the Mariners as they made a record by scoring 116 wins and equalizing the record of Chicago Cubs which they made in 1906. Mariners in this season stood 1st in the AL West Division and again won the AL Division series by beating Cleveland Indians 3-2 but again lost to New York Yankees by 4-1 in the AL Championship Series and went 4-6 in the playoffs.
In 2004, the team stood 4th in the Division but one of their star players Ichiro Suzuki shined by breaking an 84 year old record of hits, Suzuki scored an amazing 262 hits. The year of 2008 proved to the worst ever season for Seattle Mariners as they lost over 100 games in a season this was their most awful performance since 1983 and they were the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs. In 2009, Ichiro Suzuki shined by scoring yet another record of most consecutive 200-hit. In 2010 Suzuki again scored 200 hits with .300 and this led him to play in the famous Major League Baseball All-Star Game and also won the prestigious Rawlings Golden Glove Award. Some other famous award winning players who have played for the Mariners are Felix Hernandez, Randy Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr. Five players of Seattle Mariners have been inducted in the prestigious Baseball Hall of Fame namely Pat Gillick, Goose Gossage, Rickey Henderson, Dick Williams and Gaylord Perry. David Niehaus was also inducted in the Hall of Fame but mainly due to his work as a great broadcaster for the Mariners.
Seattle Mariners are undoubtedly a force to reckon with and have a pretty impressive record behind them. They have fixed their eyes on the next Divisional and World Series title and surely are geared up to win so fans get your Mariners Game Tickets only from us and be at the venue to see whether your favorite team wins or lose!
The Seattle Mariners have it all to do this season. They improved from their 2015 season of .439 last year. The Mariners went .531 with a 86-76 record. Those numbers however were still not good enough for the Mariners to qualify for the postseason. They captured second place in the American League West Division though and will now be looking to move forward this season. The Mariners have made some interesting moves in the offseason by bringing in players like Dillon Overton. The pitcher has shown a lot of potential in the minor leagues and now it is time to see if he has what it takes to make an impact in the MLB.
Preparing for the new season
During the upcoming 2017 regular season, the Seattle Mariners will hope that the team can return to the playoffs for the first time since 2001. The 2016 season was a major disappointment for the Mariners, since they failed to reach the post season despite finishing second in their division (AL West) with a respectable 86-76 regular season record. However, there were a lot of positives to take away from last year. The team had a busy off season and has strengthened the side by adding the talents of Drew Smyly, Jarrod Dyson and Yovani Gallardo. To see how the Mariners fare in the upcoming season, get Seattle Mariners Tickets today.

Seattle Mariners: Daniel Vogelbach Impresses Early in Spring
Hard work and offseason workouts paid off for the first baseman Daniel Vogelbach. Showing flashes of flexibility and improved footwork and agility, he's likely to join veteran Danny Valencia at the first base. He has definitely impressed the manager Scott Servais, who feels that Vogelbach is moving a lot better defensively. He spent most of the offseason working with his brother who is a trainer in Florida. Incorporating yoga into his training, Vogelbach also performed drills that improved his first-step quickness and helped in loosening the muscles. If Vogelbach manages to bring it all into the Spring Training games then he's likely to secure his place on the roster. He has what it takes to be a powerful source in a potent Mariners lineup.
