Herencia de Plata Blanco Tequila
Review: Herencia de Plata (Blanco) Tequila 82.5/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
(Re-scored and republished May 03, 2015)
Herencia de Plata Blanco Tequila is a 100% Blue Weber Agave Tequila produced by TEQUILAS DEL SEÑOR, S. A. DE C. V., a mid-sized, fourth generation family company located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The company was founded in 1943 and currently produces a number of tequila brands which include, Reserva del Señor, Sombrero, Tekali, Herencia Histórico, and of course Herencia de Plata.
Note: I identified the NOM on the back label of the bottle as 1124. This NOM identifier is required by the Mexican Government to be placed on the label of each bottle of tequila to verify that it is produced legally from agave sourced in the Tequila region of Mexico. Each distillery has its own NOM, and thus we can verify the distillery of origin. In this case it is TEQUILAS DEL SEÑOR, S. A. DE C. V. who also produce a number of other tequila brands including the Don Lunas and Sombrero.
In the Bottle 4/5
As you can see Herencia de Plata Blanco Tequila comes packaged in an attractive blue box. The bottle inside the box is a squat decanter style bottle complete with a solid wood topped straight sided cork. However the clear plastic label is a bit of a distraction for me.
I have come to learn that it is important for the consumer to determine whether they are purchasing a highland style or a lowland style Tequila. The flavour profiles of each style is different with lowland tequila being more organic and earthy and highland tequila being more fruit filled and peppery. I would have liked a bit of information in the form of tasting notes printed on the side of the box. This would take some confusion out of the purchase decision for the potential customer.
In the Glass 8/10
I poured out a small sample of the Herencia de Plata Blanco into my glass and began with a good look at the spirit before I began to nose it. It is crystal clear, and I detected no hints of colour. I gave my glass a slow tilt and an even slower twirl and discovered a light sheen of tequila was left on the inside of the glass which slowly disappeared. This is consistent with my expectations, and I am happy with my observations.
The aroma from the glass is somewhat soft and earthy with hints of honey caressed by a very light smoke and even lighter vanilla. A smattering of white pepper and of zesty lime has risen into the breezes, and that punky agave scent we know so well has melted nicely into the citrus and pepper. The overall impression I receive from the glass is a clean, fresh, almost floral spirit which seems to entice me to have a sip.
In The Mouth 50/60
My first impression upon the palate is one of softness, and I am impressed by the smooth character that the Herencia Blanco displays. The flavour is lightly sweet and lightly spicy. The punky agave flavour carries a smoky honey-like presence, and the soft white pepper and lime citrus carry a little spiciness. The earthy flavour of the agave is to me reminiscent of a light floral smoke within the spirit. The tequila seems to carry this smokey agave forward softening the sharper flavours and allowing those light nuances of vanilla and smoke to be enjoyed.
I mixed few drinks including a traditional Margarita and a couple of my construction, Metro Mexico, and The Quick Red Fox. The cocktails were very nice, and even my friends who were not really into tequila in a big way really enjoyed themselves as they sampled the bar-drinks with me on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
In the Throat 12.5/15
This is a relatively smooth Blanco Tequila. The amazing thing is that this tequila is priced much more favourably than many of the other premium tequila spirits out there that do not match this suave finish. Soft earthy agave, hints of honey and vanilla, citrus zest, and a light white pepper are all melded together in the exit.
The Afterburn 8/10
The Herencia de Plata Blanco Tequila was a very pleasant surprise. In fact when I held that tequila tasting at my house several weeks ago, the Herencia Blanco was by far the least expensive product I presented. Yet it was one of the favourites amongst all of the guests.
You may read some of my other Tequila Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe:
This cocktail is yet another of my creations which pays homage to the Travis McGee novels of American author John D. MacDonald. I really enjoy these books, and I love how the titles of these novels work out perfectly as names for great Tequila Cocktails.
The Turquoise Lament
2 oz Herencia de Plata Blanco Tequila
1 oz Bols Blue Curacao
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/4 oz Agave Syrup
Lemon slice
Add the First four ingredients into a metal shaker with ice
Shake until the sides of the metal shaker frost
Strain into a cocktail glass
add a splash of soda
Garnish with a slice of lemon
Enjoy Responsibly!
Note: If you are interested in more of my original cocktail recipes, please click this link (Cocktails and Recipes) for more of my mixed drink recipes!
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing Tequila. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, (we are probably still cocktail in territory).
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing delicious cocktails!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

text: Audiovent is an alternative rock foursome hailing from Calabasas, CA. Vocalist Jason Boyd, guitarist Benjamin Einziger, bassist Paul Fried, and drummer Jamin Wilcox were originally known as Vent, forming in the early '90s after being inspired by the emerging mainstream alternative rock scene. After releasing one independent album in 1999, the band found group therapy to be an effective way to deal with their growing popularity. Determined to remain friends, they learned how to communicate better and used that newfound knowledge when Atlantic Records came to sign the group. Renaming themselves Audiovent, they stepped into the studio in 2001 to record Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris, their official debut under their new name. ~ Bradley Torreano

The Saga Continues
Ana Quincoces explains how she couldn't have been the one texting Rodolfo.
"If it is a Miracle, any sort of evidence will answer, but if it is a Fact, proof is necessary" -Mark Twain
Here we go again! Part II of "Rodolfo-gate."
Apparently, Adriana is upset that people are saying that (her dear friends???) Karent and Rodolfo are not an actual couple. Most people over 12 (and it's been confirmed that I am over 12) are too busy to fabricate a story about telenovela boy and the dentist. The only reason that rumor is circulating is because Latin Lover himself started it.
When I left the hospital late that night, Rodolfo insisted on walking me out. He asked for my phone number under the pretense that he wanted to stay in touch with someone close to Alexia in order to get reports on Frankie's progress. He began texting me regularly after that. I never initiated a communication between us and often just responded politely or with the standard "LOL," which as everyone knows, actually means "funny dude, but leave me alone." By the time the Swine and Wine event at the Biltmore came around, the texting had pretty much ceased altogether.
It was interesting to see the footage between Adriana and Karent. It was particularly amusing to hear that this text I allegedly sent Rodolfo read: "te echo de menos :-(." I have never written, uttered, or even formulated a thought which included those words. You see, Cubans don't talk like that. That particular saying is used commonly by Spaniards, some Mexicans, and certain South Americans, not Cubans. If I were to express that sentiment in Spanish I would say "te extrano" (which also means I miss you), but Rodolfo never gave me an opportunity to miss him, because he was constantly texting me. I was taken aback by Adriana's confrontation. I didn't want to engage in such ridiculous banter at an amazing foodie event since I live for that stuff. But alas, she was not going to let it go.
So what did we learn from the silly confrontation? Only that Rodolfo is a player who is receiving texts from someone (not me) who misses him, and that Karent is directing her misguided, smile-encased anger towards me. As a lawyer, I am a stickler for evidence and the only thing the evidence has shown thus far is that Karent needs more evidence.
Here's what we've seen so far:
Episode One:
-A reluctant Rodolfo barely responding to overt acts of affection by Karent.
-A quiet Rodolfo during one of Karent's rants about me.
-Karent's parents obvious disapproval of the telenovela, ahem, "star."
-Rodolfo making poorly timed jokes about sleeping with a blonde. Wait, Rodolfo likes blondes? Who knew!
Episode Two:
-That the wording of the infamous text is inconsistent with the way Cubans speak Spanish.
-That Rodolfo lives unsupervised in another country, where people say things like "te echo de menos."
-Lea admits to both witnessing Rodolfo texting me all night and not being able to pick this "huge celebrity" out of a lineup.
-A very annoyed Rodolfo via Skype. (Even he is sick of hearing about this nonsense.)
-Finally, we discover that Rodolfo left me a Facebook post at 10:15 pm on Valentine's Day at or around the same time their supposed "romantic Skype dinner" was taking place. Talk about multi-tasking.The proof in this case is most definitely not in the pudding. But since we're talking about pudding, here's my favorite recipe:
Vanilla Pudding "Natilla" Cuban-style:
Serves 8
4 cups whole milk
8 large egg yolks
11/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Combine the milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Stir well, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a heavy saucepan. Stir in the vanilla and set the pan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon, until it begins to boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture thickens, for 15 to 20 minutes.
Pour the custard into individual ramekins or ramekins and set aside to cool to room temperature. Cover the ramekins lightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until the custard sets. Sprinkle with cinnamon immediately before serving. Enjoy! I am hoping that we can now let the dead horse lie. I would love to bury it altogether, since the poor thing has received quite the beating. Let's see what Episode 3 has in store for us. Stay tuned!
One last note: I want to apologize for my daughter Beba's potty mouth. I am not sure where that comes from :-/. I suspect she does it for shock value. I have made an appointment with Dr. Phil for a full evaluation.
Till next time…

Turkish Prime Minister promises reform to religious minorities
17 Αυγούστου 2009
Washington Post
By Ayla Jean Yackley
ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan promised democratic reforms on Saturday in a rare meeting with Turkey's religious minority leaders highlighting the issue of minority rights, a key stumbling block in its EU membership bid.
Greek Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and leaders of the small Armenian, Jewish, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic communities had lunch with Erdogan and senior ministers on Buyukada island near Istanbul, a patriarchate official told Reuters on condition his name not be used.
The lunch meeting coincided with government reform moves to address decades-old tensions with the country's 12 million Kurds. Erdogan, a devout Muslim whose government is viewed with suspicion by some for its Islamist roots, alluded in his speech to a broader reform process.
«It is now for us essential to embrace all 71.5 million of this nation's people in respect and love,» he said, repeating his
opposition to ethnic nationalism and saying his government kept an equal distance to all faiths. «Are there shortcomings in implementation? There are. We will overcome these together in this struggle. I believe this democratic initiative will change many things in this country,» he said in comments reported by broadcaster CNN Turk and confirmed by patriarchate official.
Erdogan and Bartholomew, the Istanbul-based spiritual leader of the world's 250 million Orthodox, later toured the Aya Yorgi Church, where they had a private conversation in which the patriarch voiced his community's concerns, the official said. The two men last met in 2006. Erdogan and Bartholomew also visited a former orphanage on Buyukada that the Turkish state seized from a Greek Orthodox foundation a decade ago. The European Court of Human Rights ruled last year Turkey had wrongly confiscated the property, but the government has yet to implement that ruling.
Bartholomew also raised the issue of the closed Orthodox seminary on the nearby island of Heybeli, or Halki in Greek, but Erdogan made no statement on the issue, the official said. «We believe the prime minister is looking for a way to open the school. There is movement on this,» the official said. «It was a very positive, very friendly meeting.»
Turkey signaled last month the seminary may open after pressure from the EU and U.S. President Barack Obama, who has called for its restoration during a visit to Turkey in April. The EU has made re-opening the Halki seminary a litmus test of the government's commitment to religious freedom for non-Muslims in largely Muslim but officially secular Turkey.
Turkey closed the Halki seminary in 1971 during a period of tension with Greece over Cyprus and a crackdown on religious education that also included Islamist schools. About 2,500 ethnic Greeks remain in Turkey, as well as approximately 60,000 Armenians, 20,000 Jews and 10,000 Syriacs.
The meeting with the minority leaders was organized by Turkey's chief EU negotiator Egemen Bagis, who was in attendance with the other ministers.

Saint Tarasius, Archbishop of Constantinople
Troparion — Tone 4
You appeared to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence. / Because of your lowliness, Heaven was opened to you. / Because of your poverty, riches were granted to you. / O holy bishop, Tarasius, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Troparion — Tone 3
You shone forth as a light of the Spirit, / adorned with an exemplary life and clothed in hierarchical vesture. / You stilled the turbulence of heresy / and became a pillar and foundation of the Church, / which praises your struggles, holy Father Tarasius.
Kontakion — Tone 3
You illumined the Church with Orthodox doctrine / and taught all to venerate and honor the precious image of Christ. / You vanquished the godless doctrine of the iconoclasts. / Therefore we cry to you: / "Rejoice, wise Father Tarasius."

TAPS 160: Performance and History: Rethinking the Ballerina (DANCE 160, FEMGEN 160, TAPS 260)
The ballerina occupies a unique place in popular imagination as an object of over-determined femininity as well as an emblem of extreme physical accomplishment for the female dancer. This seminar is designed as an investigation into histories of the ballerina as an iconographic symbol and cultural reference point for challenges to political and gender ideals. Through readings, videos, discussions and viewings of live performances this class investigates pivotal works, artists and eras in the global histories of ballet from its origins as a symbol of patronage and power in the 15th century through to its radical experiments as a site of cultural obedience and disobedience in the 20th and 21st centuries.

TAPS 197: Dance in Prison: The Arts, Juvenile Justice, and Rehabilitation in America (AMSTUD 197, DANCE 197)
This class works collaboratively with a local juvenile hall to use civic engagement and performance to explore the aesthetic, cultural and legal issues in the lives of incarcerated youth. In the process students gain an understanding of incarceration on an immediate and personal scale. Taught jointly by a Dance Studies scholar and a lawyer specializing in Juvenile Justice, we will consider what unique understandings are possible if we position the arts as central to an exploration of punishment, rehabilitation and recidivism in America. The course will examine case studies, historical and contemporary narratives about the social, imaginative and behavioral change possible through arts programs in prison.Half of the class meetings will be in Hillcrest Juvenile Hall in San Mateo, where our class will join with a group of 13-18 year old youths currently detained there. Dance will be used to help shape their individual expressive voices, and ours, through collaborative hip hop dance classes. Books to be read are Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson, and Last Chance in Texas by John Hubner.

URBANST 142: Paris: The Making of a Modern Icon (FRENCH 227, HISTORY 239E)
Few places have been as heavily romanticized and mythologized as Paris. To many observers, Paris and its attractions serve as icons of modernity itself. By engaging with fiction, film, journalism, painting, photography, poetry, song, and other media, we¿ll trace how different people at different times have used Paris as both backdrop and main protagonist, and we'll consider how the city itself has incorporated and rebelled against such representations. The scope of our inquiry will stretch from the late 18th century to the present, covering a host of topics, figures, and sites: from the French Revolution to the protests of May '68, from Baudelaire to Hemingway, from the Impressionists to the Situationists.

North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall is out of his cast following surgery on his broken right wrist.
In a text message to The Associated Press on Wednesday, Marshall's father Dennis said his son is wearing a removable splint now. Marshall said on Twitter he had shed the cast earlier in the afternoon.
Dennis Marshall said it was still too early to know if his son could play against Ohio on Friday in the NCAA tournament's round of 16 in St. Louis. He said his son "hasn't been ruled out, but not cleared to play either."
The school had no update on Marshall's status Wednesday.
The left-handed Marshall was hurt when he was fouled on a drive against Creighton and had surgery Monday to install a screw in the wrist.
Marshall is averaging about eight points and 10 assists for the top-seeded Tar Heels (31-5) in the Midwest Regional. He has scored in double figures for six straight games and has been the team's most irreplaceable player at the helm of its fast-paced attack.
If he is unable to play, freshman Stilman White or versatile senior Justin Watts would handle the point guard duties.

Of all the causes of death I've recreated over the years none raises more questions than the case of poor Harry (Henry) Eastlack.
I created the Henry skeleton for a set based on the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, where the real Harry Eastlack resides. Harry was born normal except for a big toe only slightly too large and irregular.
At age ten the muscle and flesh around his bones began turning to bone, a process called "Ossification" and sometimes poetically referred to as flesh turning to stone. Ossification is a normal process for growing and healing bones, but in Harry's case it was running amok. The disease Harry had was named Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva. The first symptom was bony nodules on his neck and shoulders, which when removed, triggered the growth of large nodules. Shortly after the onset of Ossification, Harry was unable to move any part of his body except his lips, and he was hard as wood to the touch.
Harry died 43 years later of pneumonia and willed his unique body to the Mutter Museum. Here's the real Harry's skeleton
FOP Ossification remains with us today and still has not been cured
Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, did not have FOP Ossification. He was once considered to have been afflicted with either elephantiasis or neurofibromatosis type I or the very rare Proteus syndrome or perhaps a combination of the later two conditions.
Strange Answers: "What's Wrong with Henry?"
Of all the causes of death I've recreated over the years none raises more questions than the case of poor Harry (Henry) Eastlack.

Dead Pigs Fuel Calls for China to Modernize
Scrutiny of China's farming practices has intensified after more 12,000 pigs were pulled out of rivers around Shanghai in the past two weeks. Rabobank analyst Jean-Yves Chow says the incident highlights the need for China to modernize its farming practices.

I'll warn you, Chapter 2 is already making people swoon and pass out from all the Adrian charm.
Chapter 2 - Scribd and Text
AND, one more treat: Adrian's seduction advice, from Chapter 15.
Here's what else is going on. Starting on January 1, I'm going to kick off the Bloodlines Book Club as we count down to The Indigo Spell's release. I'm going to re-read the first two books, and every day, I'll post commentary or a little story about each chapter (two chapters on weekend days, since we're in a crunch for time--it's so close!). They won't be summaries or anything--mostly just my thoughts about what was going on when I wrote those chapters. I'll post my ramblings on this blog and mark them with spoiler warnings for those who haven't gotten that far. So, if you want to read along with me and get the backstory on the series, dig out your copies of Bloodlines and The Golden Lily! And if you haven't read them yet, it's not too late to ask Santa for them. Then we'll all be ready for Indigo in February!
One more note about The Indigo Spell--people have been asking if you can order signed copies from University Books again. The answer: you sure can. They're taking pre-orders now, and I'll sign them for you so that they can ship out on release day. The info is here, and they do ship internationally.
Hope you guys like the Indigo excerpts!

You know, it seems like only yesterday that I was hearing a bunch of self-professed Eco-warriors prattling on about the need for some form of carbon tax to gin up prospects for algae based energy or something. (Oh, that's right… it WAS yesterday.) But I took some consolation from the knowledge that something that big and controversial would take quite a while to pick up steam. Apparently, as Redstate's Steve Maley reports, I may have been wrong about that too.
Folk wisdom tells us, "Where there's smoke, there's carbon emissions." And where there are carbon emissions, there are internationalists hell-bent on hobbling the American economy in the name of Global Warming. Several recent signs:
In 2010, the Treasury Department commissioned a National Academy of Science study of the best ways to "green" the tax code. The report was originally due in September, but an extension has been granted until early 2013.
International banking and financial services giant HSBC Holdings Plc expects the Obama Administration to implement a $20/ton carbon tax (plus 6% per year increase) in its second term, to serve as "revenue enhancement" and as a replacement for the ill-fated Cap-and-Trade scheme.
The Treasury Department's Office of Environment and Energy has given the Heisman treatment to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Competitive Enterprise Institute for its emails and economic analysis relative to carbon tax proposals. CEI has filed suit in an effort to compel disclosure.
Last but not least, the idea of a carbon tax has been embraced by the unlikeliest suspects: ExxonMobil, BP and Shell.
The first three headlines on that list likely won't come as much of a surprise to anyone here, but the last one should give you pause. Why on Earth would some of the planets biggest oil and related liquid energy corporations be on board with a carbon tax? I think Steve's instincts are correct on this one, and as disappointing as it may sound, it's not that far fetched of an idea. First, having some sort of generic carbon tax across the board would probably work out being cheaper and easier to manage than a truly restrictive and government operated carbon credit trading scheme on a national or even international scale. So in that regard, BP and Shell might be looking at it as the lesser (and cheaper) of two evils.
Also, Big Oil is extremely aware of their public image and they follow the trends of public opinion closely. Particularly in Europe, there's an appetite for green revolution policies, and the subject gets a lot of play in American media as well. They would probably be willing to not only pay the tax, but use it as a promotional campaign, talking about how they're pitching in for a renewable energy future. Do you find that annoying?
I've been a long-time defender of the oil and gas industry in general, but it's hard to deny that "Big Oil" (the multinational, vertically-integrated giants) are historically among the first to turn their backs on conservative principles and seek unholy alliances with statist governments. It's all about rent-seeking and protecting returns.
That's a bit more harsh than I'd put it, but it's hard to deny the truth behind the sentiment. But there's more to this than simple politics. There could be a profit motive here in terms of a competitive edge. Big Oil – particularly those who are cross invested into natural gas – might feel the pinch from a carbon tax, but it would hit the already declining coal industry much harder and faster. That's a huge segment of the market with competitors ready to dance on their graves if Uncle Sam drives them out of business.
None of this story is pretty, but it's something to keep our eyes on. Expect to see carbon tax proposals in Washington in the near future.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Saturday accused President Barack Obama of failing to "stand up to China" after the U.S. Treasury put off releasing a politically sensitive report on the currency policies of major U.S. trading partners.
"Four years after promising to take China 'to the mat' for its manipulative currency practices, President Obama has once again failed to live up to his word," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement released by the campaign office.
"We can't afford another four years of President Obama's failure to stand up to China. Mitt Romney will do it on day one of his presidency," she said.
The U.S. Treasury on Friday said it would delay a semi-annual currency report until after a meeting of the Group of 20 finance ministers in Mexico on November 4-5, which makes it unlikely the report will be released before the U.S. presidential election on November 6.
Past reports have repeatedly singled out China for not allowing its currency to appreciate more rapidly, but the Obama administration and the previous Bush administration have stopped short of labeling China a currency manipulator,
The yuan has appreciated 30 percent since July 2005 and China argues that its currency is no longer tightly controlled. The yuan firmed against the dollar on Friday, hitting an intraday higher for the second straight day.
Romney has said that if he wins the November election he would declare China a currency manipulator on his first day in office, arguing that China's trade and currency policies are harming U.S. workers and businesses.
Obama has criticized Romney for "talking tough" on China, while his previous job at Bain Capital sometimes cut U.S. jobs or sent them overseas.

Authors Reveal ACLU's "Anti-American" Intentions
- Gary Schneider AgapePress
- 2005 21 Oct
Title: "The ACLU Vs. America: Exposing the Agenda to Redefine Moral Values"
Authors: Alan Sears and Craig Osten
Publisher: Broadman & Holman
The ACLU, from its very inception, has embraced principles antithetical to the founding tenets and subsequent prosperity and decency of this nation. The ACLU and their cohorts continue to aggressively undermine marriage, the family, the protection of children, the value of life, religious liberty and even American sovereignty itself. To this end they have acquired vast swaths of wealth and have been successful in undermining the will of the people in furtherance of their leftist anti-American putsch via the exploitation of the court system and their consistently applied strategy of legal intimidation, misinformation and fear.
"That's just demagogic hyperbole – prove it!" you say? OK – but be
warned: the facts that buttress these assertions are not only illuminating, but are often times quite disconcerting.
Alan Sears (president, CEO and general council of the Alliance Defense Fund) and Craig Osten (vice president of presidential communications and research of the same firm) have crafted an important new book titled "The ACLU vs. America: Exposing the Agenda to Redefine Moral Values" (Broadman & Holman, 2005), which effectively exposes the extremist agenda of the American Civil Liberties Union, its tactics, and ultimately the ongoing threat this organization and their allies pose to our children, families and to the nation. It is perhaps the first work of its kind to challenge the ACLU's design for America in such direct, succinct, organized and empirically supported terms.
Indeed, this is not a 215-page rant that engages in ad hominem attacks and emotional appeals to contrive a case against the ACLU; rather – as good lawyers do – the authors build their case using historical facts, documented statements, positions and court actions of the ACLU to, in effect, use the ACLU's history and actions against itself ... and the facts are quite incriminating.
From its founding in 1920 by Roger Baldwin, a socialist with strong communist leanings, the ACLU was never a genuine force for American liberty as defined by America's founding fathers. Baldwin's family history and influences engendered a liberal elitist worldview that generally maintains contempt for the common man, religion and the popular will of the people – a series of traits that permeate the ACLU today. Baldwin's family, friends and associates were replete with members of the Communist party, ties to the Soviet Union, anarchists and even eugenicists (e.g., Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood) who advocated the pursuit of a superior race through selective breeding and abortion.
You will discover that through decades of honing its skills of intimidation, misinformation and fear through threats of lawsuits, duplicitous public relations antics and manufactured legal confrontations, the ACLU has been successful in establishing an unholy record of legal precedents largely resulting from under-funded or ill-equipped opposition to their attacks, rather than solid legal argument or Constitutional relevance. These attacks have, in relative historical terms, only recently been effectively countered by organizations such as the Alliance Defense fund.
Despite more effective countermeasures, the ACLU goose steps on unabated and arrogantly assumes the dirty banner of protecting pornographers, violent pedophiles and an "anything goes" culture – all the while telling us it's for our own good – and synchronously progresses efforts to further erode religious liberty, traditional values, marriage, parental authority and the value of human life.
Why is this? To what end?
If you purge God and religion as a self-control mechanism and promote immorality, a need is created for innumerable new laws and dependence on the state for order. More laws translate to more government control of its people and the eventual transfer of power to an elitist oligarchy that is accountable to virtually no one. Unalienable rights, a higher power and morality to which people and governments are accountable, becomes a historic relic having been displaced by an all-powerful state. In other words, you "undo" the uniquely American tenet, as stated in our Declaration of Independence, that all men "... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness .... That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ..." and, in so "undoing," allow for the complete redefinition of the American governmental paradigm.
As you progress through the book you will quickly and reasonably come to the understanding that the ACLU considers the U.S. Constitution to be something that must be undone and their relevance to American law and culture progressively marginalized. If successful in this strategic endeavor, virtually nothing obstructs them from redefining America as an extremist secular-socialist state through the use of the courts and with activist judges as their accomplices. The ACLU's work toward this end is further evidenced by their recent advocacy for the use of international law and precedent within the American legal system. That is, they desire to engender the formal acceptance of erroneous foreign case law precedent and jurisprudence for use in American courts as a means to facilitate the erosion and relevance of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Without the Constitution as America's steadfast legal mooring, activist judges will be empowered to randomly select and apply foreign case law in American courts that suite their personally held worldviews.
Perhaps the most essential point, though, that Sears and Osten seek to impart to the reader is this: The time has arrived when challenges to our way of life must be defended vigorously in order to once again establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
I agree.
There has perhaps been no time in American history when our successful model of American society and government has been threatened to the degree it is today; and the primary transgressors in this truth are nefariously embodied in the likes of the ACLU, a highly sympathetic cultural elite, and to a degree, the ambivalence of we – the American people.
Nevertheless, after reading this most critical and timely book, I have a strong sense that much of this is about to change ... and you will, too.

Bleacher Beach!
If you were contemplating hitting Hermosa, Malibu, Manhattan or some other beach today, head out to the stadium instead. It should be a cool new section that launches today and I'm anxious to hear your feedback. The rubber match of a three-game set against the Angels should bring a great crowd out to the yard.
As for the lineup, here's what we're looking at (including Jamie Hoffmann's first big league start)
Pierre, LF
Martin, C
Hudson, 2B
Blake, 3B
Loney, 1B
Kemp, CF

Looks like a winner – GO BLUE!!!
Isn't it a shame that Repko who could have had this chance at the majors is on the DL – something unfortunately familiar with that.
Enchanted ~ are you sure you're not Dodger4life? With all of this positive attitude, you have me dazed and confused!
Line up looks good. Hope our super villian Casey Blake does ok in the 4 spot.
Line up does look good, and if given my choice between Hermosa Beach and the stadium, I'd do both. Manhattan, too, for good measure.
It's almost time for Dodger Baseball……….GO DODGERS!!!!!
I guess Dre has had this toenail thing since ST.
I agree, knouffbrock, I'd do both, too, with Manhatten thrown in…Nice to see The Bearded One getting a shot at cleanup. GO BILLS!!!!!GO BLUE!!!!!
Is about time Blake bat in the clean up spot but don't know by Martin batting 2nd but would like to have Kemp in that 2nd or 3rd hole.
seesky, where are you from originally. I'm from El Segundo.
Is amazing Martin defensive improve to a fpct at .997 with 1 error after last year problem with a .990 with 11 errors and now we needs his power back.
I'm not a native Californian, knouffbrock. I came to Utah from Wisconsin by way of Michigan.
Well his best obp is .398 in that 2nd hole in his career so I guess it's ok for now.
About time you finally shown up enchanted.
Wow I knew Kemp was so damn good but didn't now he was leading the league in OF assists.
Nice easy 12 pitch inning for Billz. I love it he comes out throwing strikes.
Damn Martin should took a couple of pitches.
n/m thought he hit the 1st pitch.
hahahaha another OF assists for Kemp #7.
hahahaha another OF assists for Kemp #7.
Damn wish my internet would stop the lag freaking dialup.
Are you kidding me? I see Lidge blew another save omg and I knew last year was a fluke.
Way to go Blake & James!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!
& now Kemp!
Congrats Hoffmann first 3 runs homeruns
There is your pop Bob!!!!!
Andre who??
Way to go Jamie!!!!!
You better watch it, Enchanted. NellyJune is close by!!!
Well, you know a good beach when you see one.
Bet Ethier's toe feels better.
Sigh don't like back to back k's.
Awwwwwww dang no you didn't enchanted lol
I love Dre, but right this moment Hoff is the Mann.
Blah stupid Angels announce and Hudler trying to jinxed Bills.
Damn stupid Rex jinxed I hate lead off bunt single,
I'll stick with Dre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree Tru. But I was making a funny…
This only proves that JP is expendable!!!!!!!
Collie ~ I know you were! I'm taking NellyJune's place until she gets here! lol
Hello all! Glad to see our day is going well so far, and thrilled for Hoffmann! Let's go Blue!!!
Hi, Perumike. Glad you are here!
Hello there Peru. welcome to today at ITD!
Loney with 2 put outs on 1 play!
lmao some fool calling Hoffmann the next Gehrig.
Thanks tru and collie, glad to be here. It's a beautiful day to be a Dodgers (and Lakers) fan!!
We needs a 1 2 3 innings.
Peumike ~ The Dodgers and Lakers are going to be at the same hotel tonight. Boy, I'd love to be there too!!!
Red pen *Perumike! lol
Wow I can't believe Ortiz the only starter that didn't get a hit in that game and was 0/5 and Boston has scored 12 runs and 16 hits and won the game.
I think Ortiz is washed-up! Makes you wonder if he was using!
Gosh damn Hunter strike again.
Good to see them give him a standing ovation don't know if Bonds would had gotten that treatment lol
That was an awesome catch by Hunter.
I saw part of today's Red Sox game and Ortiz ripped a ball down the 1st baseline that was caught. It was smoked. I don't think he's finished. At least I hope not as I really enjoy watching him play. He is good for the game.
I would be floored if he was using. Not that I haven't been floored in the past.
Collie ~ I know what you mean about Ortiz. I like him too. I just don't trust very many in the game anymore. I was totally shocked by A-Rod's usage………he didn't seem to fit the profile of a user.
No A-Rod didn't. But the things that were said by Ortiz would make you think he was very much against players who cheated. Also that if he was done he would end his career before trying to use.
It is suspicious that his production has dropped so much.
That is another thing about this era. Once a players production falls off he is suspect. A bummer for those that didn't cheat but were great. I look at Griffey as one of those. He never got huge as the others did.
I like those dp's for Bills!
Hey gang, how ya'll are? Just checking in between races
My guess is many are probably still using HGH.
If they were smart they'd look back and see what doing roids before it was tested for did for some players now. For the most part, they are hated.
Hi Dodgereric. I'm great, how are you?
The King shaking hands with Jeff! #24 is winning today!!!
I hope!
Hello there Eric.
Who won the Indy?
Wow I didn't want to here that by Mack. Anyone watching the Angels broadcast on ch 13?
Collie ~ And, because of the roids, the entire "era" will come under scrutiny as far as Hall of Fame voting goes. A true black eye for baseball.
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Juan Pierre in THE WALKING MAN.
Damn I don't want to here about Arod 7 homeruns and still hitting around .200+.
Hi, everyone. Finally got the game back. ip address problems.More phone calls to mlb.com. If it's not one thing, it's another with that chicken outfit….nice way to break in for Hoffmann.
I'm just fine, tru! How are you and hubby? The kids are out and around as I type this. They should be at a ceremony team rehearsal as I type this, then they'll be off for the Little League tourney about 1/2 mile from here.
Hi cp! Helio Castoneves took it, his third. Man, was he emotional! He couldn't stop crying. Danica Patrick was 3rd for all our womenfolk posters.
My two cents on the steroid thing – if they ever release the other names on that 2003 list, it would turn the game inside out. I think it's fairly obvious that it was (or was well on its way to becoming) the norm.
JUUUUUUUUST a bit inside.
Sorry. Not cp, dc!
Hey!!!! What are you doing on here in the middle of the afternoon!!!!! Where is my kid? LMAO!!!!!! Jimmie's car is just awesome!!! I may have to cheer on him today just because of the car. How are you doing?
enchanted – the question should be "Manny who?"
enchanted, how are you sir?
shad, I'm fortunate enough to be able to listen to Vin on Prime Ticket. So I don't have to subject myself to those Angel homers.
Dodgereric ~ I watched the Indy race but, I don't care for it much since I REALLY started watching Nascar!
I think the enitire list has to be made public…..mostly to protect the innocent. A lot of the players have said they want their names removed from the suspect list. And, the only way to do it is make the list available for all to see.
nevermind – I see you told tru. I knew too – just got text from Mariya saying she was at the Order of the Arrow meeting.
NellyJune ~ I'm glad you are here. Enchanted is losing it!
Hi Collie!!! How are you doing this afternoon?
Junie! Howdy! I just saw the thing on Jimmie's car (thank you, picture-in-picture! It is awesome. What a nice thing to do. The announcers got it right, of all the sports, NASCAR consistently shows our military the most respect.
I didn't even know I had it…
Hey Mom. Hey Dad.
Oh, you certainly used to have it e. But I think that as Juanito drifts back toward sanity, that you will return.
Ward Dear ~ I saw the story too, and what great one it is. All those names on that car – remarkable!!!
Good Afternoon Beav!!! How are you doing? Is it true you need a talkin' to?
Urgh I hate lead off walk and 2 strikes hit.
They showing some fans with the free Manny on the back.
Not looking good. Gotta get anyway. Afternoon all.
C'mon, ace!
Good Afternoon enchanted!!! Make sure you behave yourself (jk) – take care 🙂
dodgereric – Do they have to complete a certain amount of laps with this length of a race to call it a race?
Shad – it's going to be those fans (the ones with the Free Manny t-shirts on) that make this ordeal more of a problem than it already is.
The first time he gave up a walk they scored 3.
Yeah, I see it's really raining there in Charlotte. They have to complete half the laps to make it official. 200 in this race.
Well, that might be hard to do today. It looks like it is raining pretty good right now, and it's already 5:30ish there now. So, at what point do they call the race? Is there a time limit to get the race started?
Well, the rain stopped and they are drying the track so hopefully it gets underway soon.
Wade should had let Odog get that and cost him.
They try their best to get it in today for all the people who pay good money and their travel plans don'y allow them to stay. If they feel they can't get it in, they'll try tomorrow.
I wonder if other teams sleepwalk like the Dodgers after a quick early lead.
Didn't it used to be that, on a dropped foul ball, the error only gets charged if the batter eventually got a hit?
The Dodgers do that alot, don't they? Other than the homerun, which I didn't see, this game has been very slow and uneventful, for the Dodgers anyway.
I did think that, but I wasn't sure.
Boy, what has happened to Cory Wade?
Collie thinks aliens have abducted him and traded him with Proctor, or some story like that 🙂
This game is a real yawner!
Wade=Proctor body
Ouch hope Odog is ok.
Quantity doesn't mean quality – carrying thirteen pitchers on the squad doesn't help much when two of them are Wade and Mota. I suppose you can't have Troncoso and Baliserio cover the middle innings every day, and our starters aren't going long enough to do much without the bullpen. That's going to be our weakness in the long run.
Damn! Hope Hudson is okay!!1
Sorry about the 1
Collie may be onto something.
Maybe the same thing happened to Ohman. He's not the same guy from '08 according to the numbers.
Lord, that's all we'd need is for Hudson to go down.
Geez the announces didn't even know Odog caught that ball and made that mistake 3 to 4 times
What happened? I was watching interview with Mark Martin.
Hi ya everybody
So far it's been a tough game.
Nice to see Jamie get his first HR.
Oralndo and Hoffmann collided. Hudson got hit in the back of the head.
Castro look like should had Furcal up there.
Come on Dre, get us going!!!!!!!!!!!
Oops Furcal should had PH for Castro so I guess Torre really don't want to used him.
To bad those 2 runners wasn't on bases for Pierre.
This is not hindsight, but I really question Giving a free pass to abreu, with Hunter coming up. In hindsight its a given. Now go get them dodgers!
Is Martin ever going to hit a home run this year?
bear, assuming we have 5 starters and 3 good bp guys, that leaves 5 bums in the pen with a 13-man staff. I'd rather burn up 4 bums and get another position player up here. Torre played his last card last night in the 10th inning when he had Castro hit for Brox. THE 10TH!!! That's too damned early to run out of moves.
dodgereric – I am not sure where our children are, but Mariya's phone called me and all I can hear is background noise…..music and people. LOL!!!!!!!
nice to see this dodger team comes with a new autopilot feature. it's sort of like the one on your car, only it makes you want to pour hot sauce in your eyes and pull your hair out.
You are right, Dodgereric. I was telling NellyJune this morning, with Andre hurt, what would happen if Matt or Juan got injured? We have nobody to back them up!
enchanted's favorite 🙂
very good analysis, J-murray!
The curse of the J Martin bring back the R Martin.
j-murray – well said
Definitely think that we need another position player up here, especially if Andre is not able to come back to the lineup tomorrow. I suppose that Blake would have to play outfield if any of the current three OF's went down. In any case, carrying thirteen pitchers on the staff for any length of time is simply admitting a real weakness to the team. Like eric said, whether it's five bums or four among the BP crew doesn't seem to make much difference, but an extra batter available just might.
It's a miracle 2 games in a rows Mota gave up zero run. Wade must be trap in Mota body.
I agree with the 13 man staff. It really isn't doing much good. We need an extra position player. Good news………..gnats and dbacks lost 🙂
Wouldn't you like to know just how hard we tried to keep Lowe?
Maybe we can catch a bad relief outing by the Angel.
Cross your fingers folks.
I don't think we tried to keep Lowe at all. That's what I think, and he is doing damn good with Atlanta right now. He's got his 6 wins too.
Padres won, though!
I don't think we tried to keep Lowe at all………it's too bad because he gave you a lot of innings.
The Padres won the 9th straight.
Need a spark…
I expect that we didn't try to keep Lowe at all – probably didn't even want him from a management perspective, because he would have cost big money. The only big money that Frank would spend was for Manny. Did you have him take a drug test, Frank?
Come on Loney tied this damn game up.
Nice job Casey!!!!!! Let's go Big Game James!!!
Blake is awesome!
We are know Lowe wanted to go back to Boston are another east coast team.
I wish Wade didn't give up those 2 runs.
We should have saved Andre for when we needed some power!
Nice Sac Fly James!!!!!
Sigh I wanted a hit there but take the sac fly.
Would it be something if the rookie goes deep again?
Okay, MATTY!!!
Time for another 3 run dinger Hoff!
Wow the rookie is clutch,
This team sure makes life interesting . . . it's a good thing I get a manicure tomorrow!
Geez the Angels announce made another mistake it 1 out not 0 out. I hope Furcal make them pay big time.
Damn it Furcal
That's good sparkleplenty!!!!
Damn that Friggins
Come on BP hold the Angels here, and we may just have a chance still. GO DODGERS!!!!
Is "squeeze" not in Torre's playbook?
..other than Mattingly "squeezing" his arm to make sure his awake…………probably not 🙂
This is still anybody's game.
Furcal really SUCKS. I feel like he suckered us for another three years.
Dodereric, I agree the bunt or slap bunt by furcal and perhaps by pierre might of got the job done.
……….nothing like racing at midnight by the time they are done if they start.
uh oh!!! Brian's warming up.
Is it his arm that he's……….no, don't go there…….
Certainly by Furcal. There was only one out.
Well, dodgereric, you point about our bench is proven right now. If we should go to extra innings, the only bench player we have left is Ausmus.
Tori would have made that play.
no, don't go there!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
You do realize we have a day game tomorrow? Our BP is going to be spent by the end of today, then what?
Wow Abreu hasn't gotten a homerun yet and came so close. Why not let Leach ibb him and bring in Troncoso?
Who was the one who gave Joe an "A" for his managerial skills?!
enchanted did 🙂
Well, shame on him!!!!!!!!
Nelly, we have a hidden weapon – a 14th pitcher . . . James Loney! Never fear, Loney is here!!
Well, he didn't originally give him a grade at all, but when it was mentioned, he said he would have to give him an A-.
What the heck is going on here……….are we pitching batting practice?!
It's not just that it's a day game tomorrow. Seven games in seven days in two hitter's parks.
Remember bases loaded and one out in the 8th. This is pathetic.
I would love to see James pitch because I don't they he could do any worse then these guys some days. Overall they haven't been too bad, but today is not one of their good days, and with a day game tomorrow, and with Stults pitching tomorrow, we need to hope he can pitch another complete game, which at Coors Field is not going to happen.
Well, I guess we could have saved the bullpen and sent Loney in to pitch, but then can Randy Wolf play first base.
Dodgereric – ………..and we don't have SPs who can go into late innings. On paper, it certainly doesn't look good.
Can't believe Blake playing LF I knew there was some option there instead of Blake having more experience in RF.
No he wouldn't 32 not after he ran into the wall and was hurt from the first catch.
Back in 1965, Bert Campaneris played all 9 positions in one game. (If memory serves, he also pitched ambidextrously to righties and lefties.) Now, if he can do it, who says Wolf can't play first?
Question: Has any team WITH THE BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL TO DATE ever had so many holes?
Looks like we have Weaver, Belisario and Broxton rested for tomorrow.
dodgereric – you seem a little miffed, as enchanted would say 🙂
Let's hope that is enough oldbrooklyfan. It could be as long as Eric gets a solid start tomorrow.
Brian's pitching!!!
No offense Junie, but I hope we smoke this clown.
Come on James!
Damn we need those hits last inning. Well Lowry played RF and Feliz behind the plate so anything can happen and when you do replace Loney for another pitcher then you put him back at 1st but I never seen a position player go pitch and go back to his normal position.
I have no problems with it whatsoever, and Brian knows that too. He knows tru and I are Dodger fans!!!
I know you have Angels fans to contend with at work. I am safe……………..the gnats sucked this weekend.
Sparkles you right someone ask a question on who was the player who played in every position in a game I don't know how can he do that? One position every innings? Did that game goes to extra inning?
Well, that's that. Let's not lose sight in a woeful bullpen performance that we staked Billz to an early 4-run lead against one of the worst scoring teams in the AL and he couldn't hold them.
To Colorado.
Just have to think positive and carry on.
Can't worry about the Pods and Giants.
The race is in our hands.
That is true. We did have a taste of bad Chad today.
I think it was a nine-inning game. It was one of Charlie Finley's stunts (he was the owner of the A's at that time).
I have faith in this bullpen, it's very strong and it will take a lot to tire them.
Who would had thunk that Ohman and Mota pitches well over Wade and Troncoso?
It suck that Wade could had gotten that lost but in Hockey if you was on the ice when the winning goal was score than the backup get the lost.
We will certainly find that out about our BP tomorrow perhaps.
Oh there going to have that race?
We are going to be racing into the midnight hours tonight.
Break up the Padres.
Don't throw Uncle Joe under the bus just because the bullpen vaporizes. What are his options? Billingsley tanks a 4-run lead and can't go deep into the game. A broken record for this collection of starters. And is there a more boring player right now than Russell Martin? Why not just close right field when he's up? And his throws to second base are an embarrassment. Play Ausmus in Colorado for three games. Let Russell get good and hungry. Besides, in that ballpark, the Dodgers are going to need some savvy behind home plate…especially with Stults, Milton and Kershaw set to go.
I knew batting Martin was a terrible idea in the first place. I'm surprise Martin didn't even rest today to give Ausmus a chance to played.
oops that's should be batting him 2nd
Ouch that mean 9 pm my time.
Geez I wish we had Mauer and he has like 10 homeruns in 78 AB's and boy something is fishy now. I surely hope he's not another one on steriod.
I, of course, agree with kahli about Martin. Ausmus would be a good choice for the whole series. Martin should start thinking that there's always AAA for unsuccessful young major leaguers. Ellis is doing pretty well.
To think Mauer was on the DL April 2. He had 9 homeruns last year in 536 AB's and 2 years ago 7 homeruns in 406 AB's and had 13 in 521 AB's in 2006.
both had =should be has
That should have been enough runs to win this one. Poor performance from the pitching staff hangs us with the loss. Oh well…there's no crying in baseball and no guarantees either. I'll get to watch the boys a lot this week FSN and WGN.
Mauer has been on fire, and he is one awesome catcher too. They say that Mauer and Morneau are the best 1-2 two punch in the league.
Is amazing this team can still put up more then 5 runs without Manny but the pitching let us down except Ohman and Mota.
I'm so glad I have Mauer in my keeper league.
This sounds painful just reading it, and to think he didn't come out of the game until the 8th inning. I guess he had enough.
"It was throbbing last night," Ethier said as he carefully pulled a sock over the bandaged toe as he dressed in the clubhouse. "It couldn't even take the pressure of the blanket on it in bed. I had to hang my foot off the bed so nothing would touch it."
Good Evening ITD Dodger Faithful,
Dont worry!!!!!
Lets come out strong in Colorado Boy's……
Good Evening Dodger4life!!!!
Sorry I dropped off there, as my computer lost power.
Then we went to the gym and came home to a loss. 😦
This is just a hit & run as we are now off to dinner & a movie so this will be short.
Seeing as Torre started Hoffmann today instead of Dre, should he be applauded? I mean he is ripped when a pitcher doesn't make the out when called upon…
From what was said & written Ethier wanted to play but Joe gave him the day off. That seems like it was a good move to me & I'm an Every Day Dre guy!
Hey Nelly, Collie and anyone else 🙂
Hoffman took advantage of the opportunity, that's what these guy's all have been doing. Andre will play soon.
I have no idea where my post went, but I am sure it will show up sometime after I re-type this one. Anyhow, I am happy that they sat Andre today. After reading what kind of pain he was in last night, he needed to sit it out, and I am an Ethieraholic. I have become more and more confident Joe wants to see Andre in the lineup on a daily basis, and I had no problems seeing Hoffmann in the lineup today. What a great way to get your first big league hit.
It is a day game tomorrow is'nt it???
It did sound like he was a little uncormfortable, Hopefully tonight is better and he will be felling good in the morning 🙂
uncomfortable? When a blanket is hurting your toe, it is a little bit more than uncomfortable, don't you think?…. and the thought of him having to wear cleats just hurts even thinking about it. However,with the medical technology they have, I am sure they can make to wear he won't feel the pain at all.
They can get him fixed up I'm sure, Every Day Dre 🙂
They have to…………..he is our Everyday Dre, and he can't be Everyday Dre if he isn't playing in the outfield every day if possible 🙂
I just watched the highlights, the Angels hit alot of grounders through the infield. They are good pitches just hit where they had to hit them, I'll take those, we will make plays on them more often than not. If the ball is in the stands there is no play. Matt can say that, Torii Hunter made an outstanding catch…. Hofmann way to man up,( Your dad is enjoying this I'm sure. )
Stults will need to be sharp tomorrow, He has impressed before, I'm behind him. Go Get Em Boy's!!!!
The Angels under Scioscia have always been a tough club…they don't have a lot of stars, but they know how to hit, manufacture runs, and they also know how to pitch. The Dodgers go 8-4 through the supposed gauntlet of Florida, Philly, Mets and the LosAngelesAnaheimOrangeCountyCalifornia Angels. The Dodgers will visit a bad ball club and a down ball club. But Coors and Wrigley are a tough go.
Remember that big lead AZ. lost last year? Well we're gonna possibly do the same if we don't get a solid BP going. Colletti has to figure it out and QUICK, it is not gonna work w/ the current parts in it as of right now. A GOOD team is only as good as it's bullpen will allow it to be, ours is TERRIBLE, esp. w/ our shaky starting w/out many pitchers going 5+.
RUSS, you're my favorite player, but you gotta stop OVER-SWINGING, hit LINE-DRIVES esp. to RIGHT FIELD. Your plate approach and pitch selection need work, your swing needs to be shortened up, stop trying to hit homeruns, a towering fly-ball is usually an out.
I just wanted to thank all the veterans and others on this Memorial Day who gave the ultimate sacrafice so that the rest of us can live our lives the way we choose in the greatest country in the world.
Good morning ITD, Dodger Faithful.
I would like to also show my apreciation to all the men and women who give their all, for me and my fellow Americans,
Thank you.
Enjoy your Memorial Day everyone 🙂
I thank you everyday for keeping us safe and making me proud to be an American! God Bless all of you who have served our country.
Good Morning ITD readers and writers!!!!!!
Happy Memorial Day, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all the men and women currently serving in our military,and I am truly thankful for ALL the men and women who have fought for our country, the most blessed country in the world, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Coco Wants to Dance On Dancing With The Stars 13
Well, Coco may want to dance, but, that doesn't mean the producers of Dancing With The Stars will agree with it…and I kind of hope not? But hey, I've said that before on past rumored contenders and I ended up liking them. So, who knows? What do you think? Here is more from Radar Online….
With her bombshell booty and oversized assets, Ice-T's wife Coco has one of the most talked about bodies on the tube, but does she want to shake that money maker on Dancing With The Stars?
The Ice Loves Coco star took to her Twitter to address the question that all her fans have been asking her, and left no one wondering, answering with a resounding: "Hell Yes."
"Everybody's asking if I would be on Dancing w/the Stars!" the busty blonde tweeted on Monday. "My answers, HELL YES, so let's all write @dancingABC and get it poppin!@"

Poor Health Can Lead To Breastfeeding Struggles
Photo credit: Wavebreakmedia Ltd/Wavebreak Media / 360/Getty Images
There are barriers to breastfeeding success that many of us already know about — one example is inadequate maternity leave, which is unfortunately a prevalent problem in the U.S. But a recent study shows that women who aren't in the best health prior to pregnancy are less likely to breastfeed, or give up early.
Health issues before pregnancy
A study conducted by the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota found that in their sample group of around 2,400 mothers, around a third had health issues before pregnancy, such as obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure. They discovered that around 30 percent of those moms, then, were less likely to breastfeed once their babies were born.
Study author Katy Kozhimannil, an assistant professor in the School of Public Health, told CBS Minnesota that she hopes that this information will prompt health care providers to recognize that women who start off pregnancy on the wrong foot need extra support. "We also looked at statistically who are these women, and we found they were likely to be non-white, more likely to be low-income, to have lower education, unmarried and without a partner, and receiving public health insurance," she says.
Essential breastfeeding support
Suggested support measures are lactation consultants, many of whom are available through hospitals or doctors offices, and utilizing newer aspects of health care reform laws, such as free breast pumps and supplies. Kozhimannil says that encouraging breastfeeding isn't enough — more concerted efforts need to be made, especially for moms who are more at risk.
Support needs to continue past the postpartum phase as well, as many of these moms who try to breastfeed give up, when support could have given them what they needed to make it happen.

SANDY, Utah – Midfielder Collen Warner was tipped by many to be the break-out player of 2011 for Real Salt Lake. After an up-and-down year, if Warner's to break out, it will be with the Montreal Impact, who took the third-year player in Wednesday's Expansion Draft.
"It's a bummer to lose Collen," RSL GM Garth Lagerwey told media on a conference call, "and I think Montreal is getting a really good player."
Losing a player without getting anything in return is the nature of the expansion draft.
"You always lose a good player," Lagerwey explained. "Look, you are losing a first round draft pick and that's not a good thing, but it is what it is. It's the system we live in."
The other potential prospect for selection by Montreal was veteran midfielder Ned Grabavoy. For Lagerwey, it's difficult to evaluate which loss would have had a greater impact.
"You can argue this any way," he said. "You lose Collen and the negative is you don't get any cap space. You lose Ned and the negative is you lose a player who has contributed more for us over the past two years. You lose Collen, you lose all of the potential and upside. You lose Ned and you lose all of the veteran leadership and experience. You can look at it anyway that you want. I am steadfast in my belief that there is never a good outcome in an expansion draft."
Warner is a player that just completed his second season, seeing time in 24 matches. However, in his first real chance to make his mark he failed to grab a hold of the playmaker role and make it his own early in the season when RSL was desperately searching for a replacement for the injured Javier Morales. Despite that, he did show his skill in flashes, and registered five assists in 2011.
As the season progressed, youngster Luis Gil really came into his own, often getting some of the minutes that would have otherwise gone Warner's way. Lagerwey expects that the loss of Warner will continue to open up time for Gil.
"Certainly it's good to have young, talented players. Having Luis in that role, with fewer players in front of him, he's going to get more minutes. Hopefully he'll earn those and take advantage of that opportunity."
Warner checked in with RSL Communications after his selection, and passed along these thoughts.
"There are veteran guys on RSL that taught me how to be a pro; thanks to all of my teammates for their help the last two seasons," said Warner. "I also want to thank the coaches, trainers for their time and effort and recognize the great RSL fans for their support. I learned a lot in my two seasons here and really enjoyed my time with RSL. It's sad having to go, but I'm definitely excited."
