Leo: "We need to schedule our schedules"
The Indians have released the minor league spring training schedule, here's when, where, and who the Clippers will be playing in Arizona:
Friday, March 16th vs. Nashville (Milwaukee)
Sunday, March 18th at Round Rock (Texas)
Monday, March 19th vs. Louisville (Cincinnati)
Tuesday, March 20th at Albuquerque (Los Angeles NL)
Wednesday, March 21st vs. Albuquerque (Los Angeles NL)
Friday, March 23rd at Louisville (Cincinnati)
Sunday, March 25th vs. Louisville (Cincinnati)
Tuesday, March 27th at Albuquerque (Los Angeles NL)
Thursday, March 29th vs. Charlotte (Chicago AL)
Friday, March 30th at Nashville (Milwaukee)
Home games played in Goodyear, AZ
All games start at 1:00pm Arizona time
Every Monday evening at Huntington Park will be a Sugardale "Dime-A-Dog Night". Here are those dates:
April 9th vs. Indianapolis, 6:35pm
April 30th vs. Pawtucket, 6:35pm
May 21st vs. Scranton Wilkes-Barre, 6:35pm
June 11th vs. Charlotte, 7:05pm
June 25th vs. Lehigh Valley, 7:05pm
July 16th vs. Louisville, 7:05pm
July 30th vs. Rochester, 7:05pm
* While we're on the subject of schedules, here is a look at the Huntington Park promotional schedule. Keep checking back as things are being added all the time!
* When the Clippers visit Toledo, the broadcast will be originating from new surroundings. The Mud Hens are renovating the Fifth Third Field press area, to create a club area for fans to view the game from behind home plate. We'll let you know how it looks when the Clippers arrive in the Glass City on April 21st .
* Former Clippers catcher Damaso Espino has signed a minor league contract with the White Sox. Espino, 28, played in 2009 and 2010 with Columbus. He's a career .266 hitter over twelve seasons. Damaso is the cousin of Clippers pitcher Paolo Espino. He actually aided in bringing Paolo's family to Florida from Panama when the younger Espino was still in high school.
* Carlos Pena signed a one year, $7.5 million deal to return to the Tampa Rays last week. That means the Indians will likely either pursue Casey Kotchman to fill the perceived void at first base or they'll enter spring training with the options they already have in the organization.
Matt LaPorta is the incumbent, but his struggles have opened the door for someone else to grab the job. Carlos Santana will see some time at first, but not on a regular basis. Shelley Duncan is thought to be another part-time option.
* Are you energetic and available during summer evenings? If so, you should join the Clippers on-field promo team. You'll get to mingle with mascots Krash and LouSeal, throw t-shirts to the crowd, and serve as judge/referee for the many on-field, between innings, competitions at Huntington Park. Sounds like fun to me! Contact Seth Rhodes at srhoades@clippersbaseball for more info.
* Jorge Posada announced his retirement on Tuesday. I've often said if there was a Clippers players version of Mount Rushmore, Posada would be on it. He put together a 17-year big league career, which included five AL All-Star Game appearances. He finished with a .273 average, 275 home runs and 1,065 RBIs in 1,829 games, including five World Championships.
Posada was never thought of as a superstar like Clippers teammates Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams, but he served as the glue for some tremendous Yankees clubs. He played three seasons at Cooper Stadium ('94-'96), suiting up for 306 games.
* Thursday night I'll be serving as the MC for the Wright State University baseball banquet. The keynote speaker is none other than Indians reliever Joe Smith. Smith is a Wright State graduate (just like myself) and he follows former Seattle General Manager Bill Bavasi, Reds manager Dusty Baker, Reds broadcasters Marty Brennaman and Jeff Brantley, George Foster, Steve Garvey, and Jim "The Rookie" Morris as featured speakers at the event.
Wright State, a member of the Horizon League, has made two of the last three NCAA Tournaments and three appearances over the last six years.
* Only 72 days until the Clippers open the season against the Louisville Bats. If you haven't purchased tickets yet, what is wrong with you? Seriously, what's the problem?
* According to sportsfangraph.com, the Clippers are 10th among minor league baseball teams in Facebook and Twitter followers. If you haven't jumped on board yet, check out the "Hometown Heroes" on these many social media platforms:

I found the brand just a few weeks ago and I was really interested in trying their shoes which I thought would be awesome for this summer. I was sent the Dawgs Women Spirit shoes which comes in a variety of really fun colors ….Just perfect for summer. I decided to go with the black/ lime green color combination even though I have to say I love the white color designs and will probably get one of them pretty soon.
The Dawgs Women Spirit shoes are lightweight and comfortable. The foot bed is designed to allow the foot to 'breathe', facilitating the prevention of bacterial foot infection and diseases. One thing I really like about the shoes, besides the looks of course, is the fact that they have arch support which is great for someone like me with completely flat feet.
The shoes can be worn with or without socks….I have been wearing mine without socks with no problems at all ( I usually wear socks if the shoes are uncomfortable without them, so far not a problem with the Dawgs). The shoes feature rubber outsoles and adjustable Velcro straps to accommodate all feet widths and keeps your shoes as comfortable as possible.
The Dawgs spirit also features cooling ventilation holes and are really easy to clean. The family is going on vacation this next month ( you will hear a lot about it ) and these shoes are one of the very first items going in my suitcase as I think they will be great for nature walks and the water activities that are in our plans. I give the Dawgs Women Spirit shoes two thumbs up for its comfort and versatility!
The shoes retails for 40.00 at the Dawgs store and it is only one of the many different styles offered by the brand. The Dawgs Spirit are also available for men at the same price.
Dawgs has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free pair of Dawgs Women Spirit shoes!

Eileen Grimshaw's new fella has been cast in Corrie
Eagle-eyed Coronation Street fans will recognise the actor as he's already been in Corrie when he appeared as one of the firefighters in the live 50th anniversary episode.
15 comments:
Cast as what? Her son? (Yet another recycled soap star).
- 19 July 2011 16:48
Here's hoping he's: employed, not a criminal, straight (because she is), not a momma's boy, addiction free, kind, not likely to hit on (or kidnap) Rosie, tall enough to stare down Owen and let Eileen wear heels, and gets on with Steve & Lloyd. Bonus if he rescues Emily from the cupboard.

It would be interesting if they still had him be the fireman who was there that night it would be interesting to see his reaction to everyone.
- 19 July 2011 17:11
- Tvor said...
Yes scifiaddict, i think that's a great tie-in if he's one of the same firemen from that night. Oooh, Paul you say? I bet he is, the fireman that was primary in Molly's rescue attempt was Paul, i remember him telling her that.
- 19 July 2011 17:33
- Fat Brenda said...
Two words loveys: As if!
He wouldn't look twice at her!
She gets on me flamin' wick! - 19 July 2011 18:20
- Chewy said...
I think he is playing the very same fireman :D It's a great little link :D
- 19 July 2011 22:20
Really? Seriously, really?
I totally agree with Fat Brenda, he wouldn't look twice at Eileen. He's far too young & good looking for her. - 20 July 2011 00:28
- IamSimon said...
Paul Clayton...Paul Connor...and now another Paul!

- Kim Colby said...
Not sure about Eileen's supposed age in Corrie but in real life ages she's 2yrs older than him, basically not enough difference to matter once you're out of your teens.
I like Eileen and I reckon she deserves a bit o' luck on the man front....just hope he treats her right and it doesn't end up as yet another ho hum storyline about abuse or cheating. Fwoah.....way to go Eileen, he's a bit of alright :o) - 20 July 2011 03:37
- Fat Brenda said...
You wouldn't think that if you had to work with her like I used to! She was a cruel woman! Never bought the biscuits but always ate 'em!
- 20 July 2011 08:30
Why does Eileen need a man? I'd like to see her back at the Cabby's..3 way partership with Lloyd and Steve..they were great together ... the banter and jibes back and forth-loved it.I don't think she fits in at the faktry and seems to be relegated to one-line put-downs..that's it. Also..I'd like to see her show Sean and crew the door..they've just taken over and really seem to be very boring right now IMO. I can't really see Violet, who was so against Sean even seeing his kid, suddenly just hands him over while she goes through this never ending illness. We're really supposed to think she's that sick? I'll bet we'll see a custody fight over Dylan not far down the road.
- 20 July 2011 12:37
Sorry have to agree AS IF! Eileen is a middle aged moaner. I expect he will just turn out to be one in a long line of losers like the rest. Same old same old
- 20 July 2011 15:01
As much as I like Eileen - he seems a bit out of her league. Let's hope she finds happiness she deserves it!
- 20 July 2011 19:48
Corrie should bottle the receipe that they have, young fit guys fall for unattractive middle aged women with lived in faces. They could make millions!
- 21 July 2011 07:50
I used to enjoy it when Eileen and Gail had a go at each other. Now, you don't see those two at it that much. What we need is for those two and their families to go on a holiday all at the same time. Without realising that both families are at the same caravan site, they suddenly bump into each other where Gail accuses Eileen of spying on her and vice versa. Things get out of hand and they explode with each other. Next day, Gail and her family once again bump into Eileen and her family down by the duck pond. They argue again, and Eileen tells Gail that she is more QUACKERS than those ducks over there. After more arguements, Gail pushes Eileen into the pond and cries in a relaxed mood: 'Well, I think it's time for us to get back to our caravan as I think I felt rain'. 'Mother' (cries David staring at Gail)! 'You're all wet with pushing Eileen in the pond.' 'Well then, it's just a pity that I didn't bring my brolley' cries Gail. 'Well Mother, that wouldn't protect you much from being splashed' cries David . . . @No David, I didn't mean for that reason, i meant so I could have bashed Eileen over the head with it' replies Gail.

Ten years ago, developer Peter Bell began work on a massive mixed-use development in Waukesha County. The plans included a significant retail development intended to make the project a regional destination.
That project, Pabst Farms, located on a 1,500-acre site at Interstate 94 and Highway 67 in Oconomowoc, made some significant progress in its early years. An Aurora hospital, a YMCA, an elementary school, dozens of single-family homes, some condominiums, two hotels and a 1 million-square-foot Roundy's Supermarkets Inc. warehouse were all built at the site.
Bell's grand vision was to develop the sprawling Pabst Farms site with one master plan, rather than piecemeal by parcel.
However, since the onset of the Great Recession five years ago, the Pabst Farms development has ground to a halt. Huge portions of the site remain vacant. Perhaps most noteworthy, the retail development planned for Pabst Farms has fallen far short of expectations.
A strip mall anchored by a Pick 'n Save store was completed prior to the recession. But the regional shopping center planned at Pabst Farms never materialized. Plans for the 1 million-square-foot regional shopping center at Pabst Farms have been altered to add a heavy emphasis on big-box stores, but even that redesigned plan has failed to move forward.
Through a spokesman, Pabst Farms executives declined to comment for this story.
"I don't know that we really have much to say," said Pabst Farms spokesman Thad Nation. "We're kind of in status quo."
With the Pabst Farms project stuck in neutral 10 years after it began, another major development is planned in Waukesha County in hopes of creating a regional shopping destination. But The Corners, planned by The Marcus Corp., is a very different project at a very different site than Pabst Farms.
The Corners is a $150 million retail and residential development planned for the former West Point Cinema site and the former Menard's store site at the intersection of I-94, Barker Road and Bluemound Road in the Town of Brookfield. The project will consist of a 140,000-square-foot Von Maur deparment store, another 200,000 square feet of retail space, 30,000 square feet of restaurant space and 120 apartment units. Office space that was originally planned for the project will likely be scrapped, said Katie Falvey, director of real estate for Marcus Corp. The Corners will be built in a town center format with a central park, similar to the outdoor portion of Bayshore Town Center in Glendale. Most of the 2,000 parking spaces will be located underneath the town center shopping area.
"This is really going to be a special place, a memorable environment to shop, dine and hang out," Falvey said.
Even the indoor parking area will be special, she said. Some of the stores will include entrances in the indoor parking structure. It will have a water feature and numerous stairs, elevators and escalators to bring people from the parking level up to the main shopping area.
"(The indoor parking area) is open, it's airy, it doesn't feel like you're underground," Falvey said. "We're trying to make the parking experience as nice as the shopping experience."
Retailer reactions
National retailers gave a positive reaction to The Corners at the recent RECon International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) convention in Las Vegas, Falvey said. Marcus Corp. is seeking 40 additional retail and restaurant tenants and is engaged in discussions with more than 60 prospects, she said. She declined to name any potential tenants.
"The reaction (from retailers) has been tremendous," Falvey said. "There aren't very many ground-up (retail development) projects on the drawing board nationally. A lot of retailers think it's refreshing to see a new project."
Pabst Farms was a greenfield development on the far western edge of the metro Milwaukee area. The Corners is an infill redevelopment project in Brookfield, the heart of Milwaukee's western suburbs. That difference in location is key to the prospects for The Corners and could allow it to attract the retailers that Pabst Farms has been unable to lure.
Development of Pabst Farms depended heavily on continuation of the pre-Great Recession housing boom, real estate industry experts say. When the housing market went bust, the Pabst Farms project ran out of oxygen.
"You don't have the residential growth (in western Waukesha County) that we anticipated in the mid-2000s to support a shopping center like (what was planned at Pabst Farms)," said Peter Glaser, first vice president specializing in retail real estate, with CBRE's Milwaukee office.
"The residential (development in western Waukesha County), which drives retail development, came to a screeching halt," said John Kuhn, senior vice president of the retail/investment group of Siegel-Gallagher. "There just aren't enough people out there to justify large-format retail. It will be a long time before (Highway) 67 can support a regional mall."
By comparison, the site for The Corners is in a well-established retail area. Bluemound Road is one of the best, if not the very best, retail corridors in the state. About 200,000 vehicles pass The Corners site each day on I-94, Bluemound or Barker Road, Falvey said.
The population within a five-mile radius of The Corners site is about 120,000, and the daytime population within that radius is about the same because of the plethora of office buildings in the Brookfield area.
"This location makes so much sense," Falvey said. "It really is an urban infill redevelopment. This is an established first-tier suburb. The rooftops, the families are already there. We're not counting on more growth for our success. The traffic counts, that's there already."
Falvey declined to compare The Corners site with the Pabst Farms site, but Kevin Riordan, a partner responsible for the retail services team of The Boerke Company Inc., said The Corners' location is "far superior" to the Pabst Farms site from a retail perspective.
"Oconomowoc is at the far end of the metro area's population," Riordan said. "I don't even know where (Pabst Farms) would get the employees to man (a shopping center)."
The anchor
The Von Maur store will likely be the biggest draw for The Corners. The Davenport, Iowa-based chain of upscale department stores has 25 locations, but this will be its first Wisconsin store. Von Maur looked for a site in the Milwaukee area for 10 years until it decided to come to The Corners project, Falvey said.
"(Von Maur) will be a regional destination," she said. "It's very, very significant. It will be a new experience. Von Maur really differentiates itself from other department stores, particularly in the area of customer service and merchandising."
"They will be a premium department store for our market," Glaser said.
The Corners will have a mix of stores, Falvey said. Some, but not all, will be upscale. Many will be new to the Milwaukee area, but there will be some familiar names to local shoppers as well, she said. Some local retailers also are expected to have locations at The Corners.
The dining options will include fine dining, casual dining and fast casual, she said.
"Certainly upscale stores are in the lineup, but there will be a mix," Falvey said. "I'm a strong believer in letting the market dictate how this evolves."
Marcus Corp. expects The Corners to complement the existing development and offerings on Bluemound Road and at Brookfield Square Mall, Falvey said.
Local retail real estate industry experts say Marcus is seeking expensive rental rates for The Corners of about $30 to $40 per square foot. Retail space lease rates on Bluemound Road typically range from $8 to $25 per square foot, depending on the size of the space and the specific location.
"It would definitely set some new records for rent in that area," Riordan said.
"New construction will always cost more than existing space," Kuhn said.
The rental rates at The Corners are high, but similar to those charged at Bayshore Town Center, Glaser said.
Falvey declined to disclose the specific rental rates for The Corners.
"The market dictates how this comes together," she said. "Rents are a function of what the retailers' project they can do in sales. It's what the market will bear."
If The Corners can obtain enough tenants, construction is expected to begin next spring, Falvey said. Marcus Corp. also is seeking tax incremental financing (TIF) for the project from the Town of Brookfield and hopes to obtain approval this summer.
Favley declined to say how much TIF Marcus Corp. is seeking. Pabst Farms received a $24 million TIF from Oconomowoc.
Von Maur only opens its stores in the month of November, and Marcus Corp. wants to open the entire project at once, so the project will be timed for a November 2014 completion, Falvey said.
It remains to be seen if the Marcus Corp. can do at The Corners what Pabst Farms could not for its regional shopping center: convince retailers to translate their interest in the project into signed leases.
"I think that (The Corners) will happen," Kuhn said. "When is more of the question. They obviously need to get a critical mass of users (committed). There's a lot of interest from smaller tenants. They still need some key larger tenants to commit."
"I've got mixed feelings on whether or not (The Corners) is going to be a huge success or not," Riordan said. "I do like the concept and the way they have it laid out. (But) I do not believe they will get as many retailers to commit to the project as they need."
Meanwhile, Nation said the Pabst Farms developers also were shopping their project at the recent ICSC convention in Las Vegas. Retailers remain interested, but Pabst Farms is waiting for the economy and the real estate market to improve and reinvigorate their project, he said.
"The fundamentals of the site have never changed," he said. "It's still located between two major metro areas, still is highly visible with great access. Retail (development) all over the country has been slowed down."
However, the retail development partner for Pabst Farms, Beachwood, Ohio-based DDR Corp., dropped out of the project recently, Nation said.
Pabst Farms might be able to attract big-box stores that are new to the area, such as Meijer, and want a western Waukesha County location. That area's big-box retail hub, I-94 and Highway 83 in Delafield, has been built out. Retailers not already located there may look to Pabst Farms, Nation said.
However, a major trend hurting Pabst Farms is a national population shift, especially for empty nester baby boomers and childless millennials, to move back into urban areas, Riordan said.
"I don't think you're going to be getting the major retailers to go to green sites," he said. "I think (Pabst Farms) will probably sit. They may get one or two boxes to go out there. Eventually, over the years it will gradually get some good boxes, but it won't be a regional retail center. If they can get additional residential development, a significant amount of retailers will take a look at that. But until you get residential development, you're not going to get real serious retailers to take a look at it. Oconomowoc has a long way to go to get significant retail. Retailers, they want to go where the people are."

Football: Knock it out the Parkes: Hebron back racks up yards in win over Flower Mound
By Justin Thomas, email@example.com
CARROLLTON - Down to its third-string running back midway through the first quarter Friday, Hebron's football team still managed to churn out 254 yards on the ground as the Hawks took a big step in the playoff chase in District 5-5A by holding off Flower Mound, 27-20.
The win improves Hebron to 2-1 in district, while Flower Mound drops to 1-2 with two games remaining. Coppell (3-0) leads the district with the Hawks tied with Denton Ryan (2-1) for second and the Jaguars even with Marcus for fourth heading into next week's Mound Showdown.
"The kids played well tonight," said Brian Brazil, Hebron head coach. "We had to punt one time the whole game and I think that was a good indicator of how we were able to move the ball. It was nice to get our passing game going a little bit, too, and I think that really helped and should be good for our confidence as we go down the stretch. It was a great win for and I was pleased with the way we bounced back from having a little adversity after losing a kid."
"It was tough," Johnson said. "I love coach Brazil and his staff. They do such a great job and are in it for the right reasons. They love the kids and love the game. It's hard playing your buddies like that, especially in games like this because they're so important. But hey, I'm a Jaguar through and through now so this doesn't mean that much anymore."
After gaining 53 yards on the opening drive, including a 3-yard touchdown run, Hebron lost running back Braelen Evans to an apparent leg injury on a first-down run that eventually resulted in a fumble. The injury forced Vandy Parkes into an expanded role as Hebron was already down starting back Dezmond Wortham with a leg injury.
All Parkes did was deliver 209 total yards, including 166 on the ground on 26 attempts. Safety Jamal Adams was busy on offense as well, picking up 53 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.
Quarterback Carson Proffitt, meanwhile, was efficient through the air completing 10-of-13 passes for 127 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown to Michael Wallace for the game-winning points on a third-and-goal from the 15-yard line with 10:27 remaining.
"Carson did a good job back there of moving the team and leading the team," Brazil said. "He made good decisions and I was proud of what he did."
Connor Wanhanen got a majority of the snaps at quarterback for Flower Mound, throwing an interception on the opening possession before bouncing back to complete 16-of-30 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown to go with 37 yards on the ground and a score. Quarterback Matt Hirst punched one in on the ground as well and completed all three of his passes for 57 yards. Finn Foster led Flower Mound's receivers with seven catches for 125 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown to tie the game, 20-20, early in the third quarter.
"We did some good things," Johnson said. "We've been doing some good things. We just need to correct the other things because I'm tired of making the same mistakes over and over. But Connor made some nice decisions and threw some great balls. We found some holes and made some stuff happen and we had our chances to win as bad as we played. I have to be proud of them for that, but we have to correct that other stuff to be the team we want to become."
In addition to the opening interception, the Jaguars had eight penalties for 80 yards to go with a fumble late in the fourth quarter that gave Hebron possession to run out the clock. Moments before Flower Mound's fumble, it was Hebron who coughed the ball up at its own 32-yard line after picking up a first down reception with 1:31 remaining and just two timeouts left for the Jaguars.
The Hawks had three fumbles lost as a team.
"We put the defense in some adverse situations down the stretch and for them to come up and make the plays they did was great," Brazil said. "It looks like we had the first down to ice the game and then we fumble. But that's just part of it. When you get in those situations, that's what your defense is supposed to do. That's why football is the greatest sport. It's such a team game and you have to play all three facets of it and I thought we did a good job in all three areas tonight."
Hebron looks for a third consecutive win in district at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Lewisville.
"If we had been at 1-2 instead of 2-1 that would be a big difference," Brazil said. "But you're always thinking about possible tiebreakers and now we've beaten Ryan and Flower Mound. Those were big and now we need to try and win out so we don't have to worry about anyone else."
Flower Mound needs a win Friday against Marcus to help avoid potentially nerve-wracking scenarios.
"We just didn't play well tonight," Johnson said. "Or at least well enough to beat a good team like Hebron at their place. We made too many mistakes and we have to grow up.
"We're probably going to have to win both of our last two games to get in. That's how you have to go about it. If we win both, we'll be in. If we win one, we have to beat the right one and hope we get some help."

The Thomaston Sertoma Club's annual Rob Bennett Memorial Golf Tournament will be held Friday, April 12. 2013, at Raintree Golf Club in Thomaston, and for the first time, will feature a $10,000 Cash Hole-In-One Contest sponsored by Thomaston Ford.
"This is away from the norm," said Steve Brodie, Tournament Chairman. "Usually an item such as a car or truck or boat is featured, but we thought putting up $10,000 cash would create a lot of excitement. The winner would pay no sales tax or title fee, and not have to worry about trying to sell a vehicle if they win. They will just walk away with a pocket full of cash… after the IRS gets their slice."
In addition to the Hole-In-One Contest, prizes will be awarded for Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, Low Gross, and Low Net. The first place team will win $500, second place will win $200, and third place will win $100.
The play will be captain's choice format, with entry fees being $75 per player or $300 per team. Spots are still open and entry forms can be picked up at all local Thomaston banks, plus United Bank in Zebulon, at Raintree Golf Club in Thomaston, and The Cedars Golf Club and Pines Golf Club in Zebulon. Early bird registration prizes are available for registrations received by April 5.
Brunch will be served at 9:30 a.m., with a 1st Tee Program at 10:30 a.m., and shotgun start at 11 a.m. On-course beverages will be provided, and the 19th Tee will have food and refreshments after the tournament. Event t-shirts will also be available for purchase at the course.
A portion of the proceeds from the tournament will be donated to The Boy Scouts of America Troop 25 in memory of Rob Bennett, a portion to the Thomaston Sertoma Speech and Hearing Scholarship, and the remaining proceeds will be used for other local civic endeavors.
For more information, contact Tournament Chair Steve Brodie at 706-975-9316 or Thomaston Sertoma President Timmy Daniel at 706-975-3458.

I was so happy to find lots of eggs and small cats (about 20) on June 25, 2008. I gave some away to be raised by trusted friends. Last year I raised and released over 100 with only 4 deaths. This year 1/2 the ones died. They lost liquid - stopped eating and died. I have never had this happen before ever. Does anyone know what this may be? One tried to pupate for over a day - I felt so bad...then it died.
Now there are no eggs/cats - but I did release 3 females and 1 male. I have one more to emerge.
I'm sure there will be more eggs soon. They are flying around my yard which is packed with milk weed and lots of nectar plants galore!
Some of my milkweed is turning yellow and the leaves turn brown and drop off - does anyone know what this is? I still have plenty that's healthy - but wonder what is causing this.

Nice place, very attentive, but...
M.D. - May 23, 2013
I went in for a 60 minute teeth whitening that I got from a group coupon site. The person who took care of me was very attentive and really took care of me. The only problem I had was that they didn't put enough of the gel on the mouth piece to make it effective. There was no visible change in my smile. I cannot speak about their other services, but the teeth whitening was just not effective. Maybe if you pay full price they might not skimp on the gel. Still I wish them the best of luck!

Dressing from the Right
Perhaps tired of too many obscure posts about neckties, a reader sent me a link the other day to Roger Stones' 2010 Best and Worst Dressed list. Stone, a controversial conservative political consultant in the United States, is pictured online looking fairly well dressed himself, save for the unfortunate half inch of air space between his jacket collar and the back of his neck. Not that I am being critical, mind you. I will leave it to he who has never published a photo of himself with his trousers puddled around his ankles to cast the first stone before joining in the fun.
At any rate, Mr. Stone's politics may differ from my own but his taste in dress appears similar. He expresses admiration for Charlie Watts as well as HRH Prince Charles and Alan Flusser (none of them Republicans so far as I know). We can pick nits regarding some of the rest, but I have been among those who complain that the pickings are slim among public figures these dark days and Stone has included a representative sampling of the usual as well as some less well-known exemplars. The musician Wynton Marsalis, for example, deserves more attention than he usually receives.
Truly, great style has no ideology.

Agreed with most of those choices...I often turn to CNBC and not pay attention to anything coming out of Larry Kudlow's mouth but pay close attention to what he is wearing.

Thanks as always for the post on style, I don't know how relevant the political part is. Before, when I came to this site, I just thought about clothes, and have purchased a bit from your store. Now, I am left wondering if I am supporting Nancy Pelosi. I would have preferred to not know. - January 26, 2011 at 7:33:00 AM PST

Well Will, I think on the whole it's a good list, but I'd draw attention to the 'Please someone just shoot him' comment next to Michael Moore. This seems, given the sort of debate kicking around in the US right now, to be either tastless or downright unsavoury. I agree with you that great style has no ideology, but our guard should be kept up in any case lest form is allowed to stand for content through the repetition of idle rhetoric. Vigilance is the price of freedom, etc.
Thanks for posting.

I got that sense that you wanted to make sure that you weren't endorsing him, which is more than fair, but that you also sort of let people know which side of the fence you sit on. I might have said something about how this post is about style, not politics, rather than sort of throw out where you are politically, which I think that you inferred. It's just a little polarizing, and I don't think I am the only one that commented on that, as you can see by both Brian Sheridan and vir beatum. That's why I said it's a red herring.
It's not that big of a deal, but there are buyers out there who have strong opinions, and direct their money accordingly. That's why, as a salesman myself, I avoid the subject entirely. That's just me. - January 26, 2011 at 8:11:00 AM PST

Love the list - who doesn't like Flusser or pine for an Acheson?
I would, however, have found it more satisfying had the man shown a modicum of respect - awareness? - for proper pronominal inflection (its, not it's; whose, not who's). Seeing as the article purports to be a take on proper style and all...

I did not intend to give any hints of where I stand politically, and other than saying that his politics are not mine, don't think I did. For the rest of it, I'd rather be interesting than politically correct, and hopefully for every reader I lose for that I'll gain one in return.

Stone put his arch-enemy Eliot Spitzer on the list or has in the past. I've got to confess, I find Stone very entertaining. He's into adolescent pranks and dirty tricks. Yes, he's a conservative. But he's also a swinger(figuratively and literally) and he's got an well-constructed tattoo of his old boss Richard Nixon on his back! He can laugh and joke with his political enemies.
His, Stones, list of the best dressed is non-partisan.
Will, not that it matters, but I'm a conservative and could care less if you like Nancy Pelosi(she's quite well dressed herself). I think it's fine you tactfully mention politics once in a while. I loved at the SOTU last night where dems and reps sat together.
Will, I loved the cashmere sweater I bought at your store and could care less if you support Speaker Pelosi or the current speaker! - January 26, 2011 at 8:51:00 AM PST

Will: ignore the jokers who are trying to politicize this. His picks are ok but he's obviously never heard of Marzotto, Arnault or Barbera. I'd echo Brian's comment on Kudlow, for godsake don't take his investment advice, but his haberdashery picks are excellent. Flusser's a problem. He's contributed enormously to menswear appreciation in the US and sells lovely stuff (I've bought a couple things off him) but seems personally to have retreated into Hogarthian dishevellment which probably disqualifies him from inclusion.

- Brummagem Joe said...
Btw is that the BB #3 Repp bar stripe tie he's wearing in the pic? I don't particularly like it with his chalk stripe suit (they're fighting each other) but it's one of the most versatile ties you can own. If I could only own five ties it would be on the list.

The problem with the way the system works now is that parties appear monolithic. You can't be conservative on certain things and liberal on others. You have to agree with everything that's part of the groups' narrative and oppose everything from the other groups'. It's a terrible situation to be in, not allowed to make independent judgments issue by issue, as people should. While this may be a necessary evil of party politics and the whip system in a legislature, it shouldn't be among rank and file voters. It leads to the elimination of thought and thoughtfulness.

Well I do appreciate well-dressed public figures, but those stripes are a bit of a clash for me - heavy on heavy with a monochromatic color scheme verges on gangster territory for me.. I suppose I prefer to see a measure of contrast. His list is rather entertaining, though he could have populated the 'worst-dressed' list with just Hollywood or sports channels.

Adabeie and Brummagem Joe, I completely agree about the necktie. As Jim wrote, the post was a bit of a red herring.

Not a bad list especially one that includes Flusser and Kudlow. Love ASW even though a little disappointed about the political tone today but will still enjoy the blog going forward. To the left leaning comments you might want to start leaning right. The direction we are headed now we could all end up wearing uniforms so as not to engender class envy. After all in the current political environment achievement which affords one the pleasure to acquire a customized wardrobe of your own personal taste and style is a vice and a character flaw not a virtue. Guess I will enjoy my custom suit while I can before I have to turn it in to the government or face penalties, fines or possibly jail time. Kind of like the Obama care penalties for being forced to buy something I don't want and is inferior to free market choices. It's the death of style in this country as we know it!
- January 26, 2011 at 6:24:00 PM PST
- initials CG said...
The suit is great. The tie is a great. But together they don't work.
Too similiar.
The tie works well with a solid suit. A cream linen with a a white shirt? See Flusser's Dressing with Style.
The suit needs basic elements. A solid navy knit with that tone of blue.
Spend less time worrying about the politics.... - January 27, 2011 at 2:57:00 PM PST
- GP said...
Great post. Best ever? Maybe not.
- January 27, 2011 at 7:03:00 PM PST
- Brummagem Joe said...
"The tie works well with a solid suit."
That tie assuming it's the BB navy/white bar stripe works well with a lot of stuff although definitely not that suit. I happened on this discovery by chance but it's versatility is amazing. In the days when I was constantly shlepping around foreign parts and travelled light(ish) it was the tie of choice. - January 28, 2011 at 8:20:00 AM PST
- aarx3 said...
This is a great post. Please do not discontinue looking at public figures due to their politics. Many of them do dress well and are worth our attention. I work in the political field and like to see information on people no matter their political perspective. Keep looking at these people - from pundit to politico to president!
- January 29, 2011 at 5:29:00 PM PST
- Brian R. Sheridan said...
In the end, I think we all maintained a civil tone and avoided direct political confrontation. Hooray for all of us. I agree - we should highlight the good dressers no matter their politics. The bad dressers - they speak for themselves.

I got a new IPhone yesterday too! Congrats.
So on this cc app - it allows you to run other people's cc? I am considering getting this for my IPhone if I do craft shows in the fall. I'm just not exactly sure how it works.....
Yay on your new phone. You'll figure it out. I have an IPad also, and when I hook my Ipad to the computer, it downloads all my songs from ITunes to the IPad - and it downloaded them automatically when I hooked the IPhone to the computer too. If you have ITunes all set in your computer, you will be set with your IPhone. :-) But yes, the kids can do it without a blink. Have fun!

I upgraded to an iPhone 4s as soon as they were available. It made my original iPhone seem like a doorstop. So much more uses and apps!
The first thing is you need to get a case to protect it. I got one with pink & orange birds so it would be easy to find should I lay it down.
The apps are fabulous. Find my iPhone is a good one if you lose it ( make sure gps is turned on in settings). I use Antique Week to find antique stores when I'm traveling. Evernote is great for sharing info between computer & phone; you can sync information to all- I use 2 computers and the phone, so I love that I don't have to go looking for info I need. You will find what works for you, so enjoy! BTW, if you also got the 4s, ask Siri to "talk dirty to me". Her answers will crack you up! - May 19, 2012 at 8:23 AM

Love my iPhone, and it goes everywhere with me. I've never been much of a talk on the phone kind of person, nor a texter.
But I like to walk, and listen to music and tapes when I do.
If I happen to see something interesting while I walk, I can take a picture of it with my iPhone.
I enter haircuts and dr appointments with reminders the day before.
If I am a passenger and the driver is directionally challenged, I can become a human GPS with the help of the .
I download lots of classic, free books and read them on my iPhone (not everyone likes to read books on something that has such a small screen, but I don't mind.)
When the family gets together, someone always has an interesting question that no one can quite answer. We used to just say "I'll look it up later", but now I can whip out my iPhone and google it right away.
I know you will love it, too!

Former Guatemalan President Efraín Ríos Montt was hauled off to prison last Friday. It was a historic moment, the first time in history that a former leader of a country was tried for genocide in a national court. More than three decades after he seized power in a coup in Guatemala, unleashing a U.S.-backed campaign of slaughter against his own people, the 86-year-old stood trial, charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. He was given an 80-year prison sentence. The case was inspired and pursued by three brave Guatemalan women: the judge, the attorney general and the Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

The Troy Record (TroyRecord.com), Serving Troy and its surrounding communities
Sunday, February 10, 2013
By John Wenzel
The Denver Post
Perhaps the most bittersweet part of winning a Grammy award is that it's possible to walk away with one and still remain unknown to the general public.
"It's either over-the-top glitz or it's consigned to some nether area," said comedian Lewis Black, a two-time Grammy winner who's nominated again this year for best comedy album. "There's nothing in between."
Thanks to his Comedy Central appearances and constant touring, Black doesn't have that problem. But dozens of other musicians and artists do.
"Don't turn on the Grammys expecting to see my category," said Denver-born composer Austin Wintory, who scored a historic first nomination for a video game soundtrack for his work on the 2012 game Journey. "I mean, there's like 80 categories overall."
From the Oscars to the Tonys, the majority of entertainment awards are not represented on prime-time telecasts — as will be the case with 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday. The most popular categories typically rule the program, with lesser-known ones recognized at smaller ceremonies earlier in the day or week.
This is neither surprising nor new, given that awards shows can only mention a handful of the most audience-friendly honors during their high-stakes telecasts. Still, it downplays the breadth of artistic contributions in a given field, possibly preventing viewers from being exposed to worthy new voices — or old ones.
"It's one thing to relegate comedy to the afternoon ceremony because it's not music," Black said. "But jazz? Are you kidding me? You take the original American musical art form and go, 'Why don't you wait in the locker room and we'll come back to you after the game?'"
The answer, of course, is not an eight-hour marathon program, since many of the lesser-known categories (think best surround sound album or best album notes) would make for painfully boring TV. And regardless of the category, the national recognition, however brief and footnoted, usually leads to more opportunities for the nominees and winners.
"I'm feeling extremely grateful for the overwhelming tidal wave of insanity that has resulted from it," said Wintory, an L.A.-based composer who already has hundreds of scores under his belt. "But even if I win, even if John Williams gives me a standing ovation or something totally bizarre like that happens, none of that will make the music that I have to write tomorrow any better."
Wintory is in great company: the 28-year-old is in the best score soundtrack for visual media field with composers such as Williams, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Ludovic Bource, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross — all of whom have won Oscars for past work.
"What I especially love is the almost ludicrously extreme wide range of stuff in there," Wintory said of his category, which received an overhaul last year to better reflect the range of visual media. "For over 10 years video games were eligible for this but none were ever nominated because the category was focused on film and TV, so it was kind of marginalizing. But then again, how often was any TV nominated?"
Black and Wintory are both voting members for the Grammys and both plan to attend this year.
This year, Black's "In God We Rust" is up against albums from Jimmy Fallon, Margaret Cho, Kathy Griffin, Jim Gaffigan and Tenacious D — all of whom Black likes and respects. But like Wintory, he's careful to note that a nod from the Grammy voters is not necessarily an everlasting validation of objective value.
"Gaffigan is in it, and I thought it was about time for that, but there's a list of people a mile long that you feel have as much right to be nominated as I do," he said, pointing to late comics such as Mitch Hedberg and Bill Hicks. "But in the end, it's still recognition."

The park did not experience any problems over the weekend, said Stan Robison, chairman for St. Mary Parish Recreation District 3.
The park will be open for normal hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, closing at 10 p.m.
The park opens at 7 a.m. daily and on weekends.
Due to the parade route that goes by the park, Robison had already hired security before the incidents occurred, to be at the park Saturday.
Robison has talked with a group of skaters and bikers who have agreed to "self-police" the park, he said.
Last week, videos of suspected bullying and fighting at the skate park were posted online and the sheriff's office began investigating the incidents. The sheriff's office had already been investigating previous incidents of bullying and fighting before the videos surfaced.
The park closed early Thursday in response to the videos, and the sheriff's office increased its presence around the park on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The park is monitored by live video cameras that capture all areas of the park.
