Growing Businesses
How five landscapers built their companies from the ground up.

Steve Dewald wanted to help people in need.
When the one-time Schofield Barracks' infantryman was discharged from the U.S. Army in 1992, he had plans of becoming a paramedic. After finishing up some core classes at Kapiolani Community College, Dewald was accepted into the school's emergency medical technician program the following year. To earn extra cash, the student got a job with a landscaping company. It was work with which Dewald was very familiar, having grown up in the industry.
"My dad had a small landscaping company in the Laguna Beach area in California, so I had done a lot of work for him," says Dewald. "The company that I was working with in Hawaii was doing shoddy work, but they were busy. After a while, I got to thinking: If these guys can make a lot of money putting out a poor product, how would a company with a good product do?"
The answer was very well. Dewald shelved his career plans, hired a small crew and got busy. They started out doing a lot of maintenance work, but a water feature installation for a new home in Waikele caught the eye of an official with the housing development. One thing led to another and Dewald eventually had five years of uninterrupted work in the Waipahu community.

The small company's reputation and workload grew with every landscape it completed. Today, Steve's Gardening Service has a staff of 15 full-time employees and one part-timer, who works at his nursery. Dewald says that he could grow his business threefold (at least) to keep up with demand, but that would mean sacrificing quality control. It's a compromise he's not willing to make.
"For us it's been one job at a time, period. It's worked for us this far," says Dewald. "I'm personally on every job, getting my hands dirty. I'm a ditch digger, I'm a landscaper. My favorite thing to do is to create and build landscapes."
Although he doesn't ride around in an ambulance, as a landscaper, Dewald does offer emergency services of a sort. "People tend to take on more than they can handle, or they try and cut corners where they shouldn't. The next thing you know, everything is screwed up and they have to call me," says Dewald. "I tell people to keep it simple and don't rush. They're plants, they're going to grow and fill in."

Kevin J. Mulkern
A Licensed Landscape Contractor
If Hollywood ever decides to make a movie of Kevin Mulkern's early career, the film would be entitled Surf & Turf. The young Mulkern, an avid surfer, had planned on a career in marine biology. But a couple of trips on a research boat left him green in the gills. The experienced water man just couldn't get his sea legs.
"I quickly discovered that there is a big difference between playing in the water and working on the water," says Mulkern. "I had to quickly change gears."
Mulkern discovered that he was a land lover, literally. While at Leeward Community College, he took horticulture and agriculture classes for "fun." He did well and took more and more and more. When he left Leeward a couple of years later, he started up his landscaping company and had "a full eight hours of work a week."
Things quickly picked up and, two years later, Mulkern convinced his wife, Susan, to leave her job in the garment industry and join the company. Thirty years later, Kevin J. Mulkern landscaping has a staff of 12 and a long backlog of work. Susan still handles the business end, including all the job estimates.
|This Black Point pond features plant "sleeves," containers in which potted plants can be easily inserted and rotated. The result is a landscape that always looks as if it is in bloom.
While Mulkern does all types of landscaping, he has cultivated an interest and expertise in water lilies and water plants. "In the '80s, we were hired to landscape [real estate developer] Chris Hemmeter's $70-million estate, and he wanted water lilies for his ponds," says Mulkern. "So we went to the only supply on the Island at the time and bought out their inventory, which turned out to be four plants in coffee cans. After that, we started importing water plants from various parts of the country and the world."
Over the years, Mulkern has developed a laid-back, go-with-the-flow relationship with his clients, trying to integrate their ideas into a collaborative landscape design. "I used to like to do everything myself, but I realized that there are a lot of people who like gardening and doing their own projects. Why not give them a helping hand?" says Mulkern. "It's really a lot more fun to work with people and develop their own ideas."
|Terri, puppy Pua & Greg Lee
Landscapes by Tropical Images & First Look Exteriors
Looking at one of Greg and Terri Lee's landscapeswhether it be a Native Hawaiian lei garden in Haiku or a plantation-era, kamaaina yard in Kaimuki–it is easy to assume that the husband-and-wife landscapers are traditionalists. Look closer and you might see an unusually colored ti plant or over-size puakenikeni blossoms. The Lees, Native Hawaiian plant experts, also like to mix things up.
"We always try to keep things simple and clean," says Greg. "But we are always trying different things, new plants, varied combinations. To do that, the designer really has to understand all aspects of landscape. The deeper the knowledge, the better the design."
For the Lees, that knowledge runs deep. Greg's father ran an Ewa nursery where Greg worked growing up. As a young boy, he vowed that he would never work with plants when he got older. He would eventually become a broadcast engineer and married Terri, who worked at Kapiolani Medical Center. But an after-work landscaping job for a friend of a friend convinced the couple that they had to get back to their roots. Greg quit his job, went back to school to study landscape design. A couple of years later, the couple started Landscapes by Tropical Images, the state's first design/build landscape company that specializes in tropical and Native Hawaiian plants.

The couple credits much of their success to their insatiable appetite for innovation, introducing new things into the market just before the market is ready for it. Shortly after starting the business, the Lees worked with Native Hawaiian plants in the wild as well as studying and propagating them in their nursery.
In the late '90s, as digital photography grew more popular and affordable, Greg began incorporating digital imaging and photo manipulation into the business. He took pictures of clients' properties, then inserted his proposed landscapes into the images of their yards. Greg's pictures were worth a thousand words. And when the Islands' building boom started up in 2000, they were worth thousands and thousands of dollars. In addition, several years ago, the Lees introduced hydrosprigging (spray-on turf grass and ground covers) to residential landscaping. The process, which up until then had only been used on commercial jobs in Hawaii, significantly reduced both grow-in time for the plants and labor costs.
Even though the Lees have more work than they can handle, they aren't expanding their landscaping business. In fact, they are already preparing themselves for the inevitable downturn in the industry by diversifying their operations. Late last year, they started First Look Exteriors, a high-end, landscape lighting-fixture company, which offers custom-made glass art hand blown by Greg himself.
"One of our advantages is that we are young and curious as hell. It's so important to try different things, to not do things the way you did the day before," says Terri. "But one of our disadvantages is that we're young and curious as hell. Sometimes you just want to say enough already!"

Hokuahi Lawns Inc.
There aren't too many companies that get their names from a building or a job site. But in Gary Shinn's case, Hokuahi, "flaming star" in Hawaiian and the name of an apartment complex in Mililani, seemed wholly appropriate. You see, Shinn and his co-workers had just landed a maintenance contract with the celestial apartment house and, by coincidence, they were all moonlighting fire fighters.
"The name just stuck," says Shinn. "Firemen, fiery starit seemed like fate."
Although he had grown up in the business, working in his mother's orchid shop since boyhood, Shinn had taken a roundabout journey to the landscaping business. He joined the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) in 1974, and one of his on-duty chores was to maintain the grounds of his Pearl City firehouse. It was work he enjoyed and at which he was good.
Working 10 days a month on 24-hour shifts meant that Shinn and his colleagues had a lot of extra time on their hands. He convinced four of his buddies to join him in starting up a landscaping company on the side. Things went so well that, several years later, Shinn quit the fire department to devote all of his time to his growing company. In addition, in the mid '80s, with business booming, he opened a garden and supply store in Aiea. The shop provided plants, supplies and advice to do-it-yourselfers in the area, as well furnishing his landscaping business with raw materials.

But the retired fire fighter would still have to put out a few fires. In 1993, big-box retailer Eagle Hardware moved in down the street and Shinn's garden shop's business dried up in a matter of weeks. He quickly changed course, dissolving his interest in the store and concentrating his resources on his landscaping business. But times were tough, and the business had to weather a few more lean years before Hokuahi found its footing by diversifying its operations between residential, commercial and government work.
Today, Hokuahi has never been busier or on more solid ground. Shinn was able to do something he hasn't done in years–take a vacation.
"The impact that Eagle had on my shop was shocking. But that's what happens in business," says Shinn. "You have to go with the flow of the times and adjust to the moment. I didn't study business in school, but I've learned that, if you don't react to the trends, they will bury you."
|Jerry Brown & Richard Long

Reliable Landscaping & Sprinklers
Jerry Brown and Richard Long always dreamed of living and working in Hawaii. The high school classmates shared a love of surfing and the laid-back Island lifestyle. While in their early twenties, the friends spent six months in Mexico, living out of the back of a van and surfing their days away. But life has a tendency to get in the way of dreams. Years later, Long had his own landscaping service in California and Brown was operating a candle-making business in Colorado.
However, when both went through difficult divorces, the friends got back together and decided that they should try and realize their Hawaiian dream. They decided to move to the Islands and start a landscaping business, buying one-way tickets to Honolulu and shipping over some of Long's lawn-care equipment.
"We came here on Martin Luther King Day, almost 20 years ago," says Long. "I remember listening to his famous speech over the airplane and thinking that we had a dream, too."
Brown and Long rented a house in Waialua (on the beach) and went right to work, knocking on the doors of their North Shore neighbors and offering to mow their lawns for a monthly fee. Business was brisk.
"Within a month of arriving, Richard and I were making enough to take care of all the bills and pay for whatever we had. We didn't have much at the time, but we were doing OK," says Brown. "We were maintaining 125 yards a week. At sun up we'd be firing up the equipment, and we wouldn't stop until sundown. We just kept going."

And going and going and going. Today, Reliable Landscaping & Sprinklers boasts a staff of 35, which includes five installation crews and an office staff of three. Even during the state's economic downturn during the '90s, the company continued to experience steady growth, getting much of its work from West Oahu's new housing developments, which were popping up like weeds. Brown says that his company's recipe for success has been its ability to offer professional-grade landscape services at an affordable price.
"We've been busy during good times and bad, and that's because our price structure is on the affordable side," says Brown. "Early on, we did a lot of homes in Mililani, Waikele and Kapolei. Those are the people who wanted our services."
Both Brown and Long say that their childhood dreams have been fulfilled, and there isn't a day that goes by that the pair doesn't appreciate living in Hawaii. However, not all things have worked out according to plan. For instance, in the nearly 20-year history of Reliable Landscaping & Sprinklers, Brown and Long have taken only one day off to go surfing.
"I guess that's one of the dangers of having a thriving business," says Brown.

Report: Haverford Township votes to ban roosters
Roosters have apparently run afoul (afowl?) of the Haverford Township Board of Commissioners, who recently voted to prohibit keeping the birds anywhere within the township's limits, according to The Delaware County Daily Times.
The issue originally up for a vote was an amendment clarifying an animal control ordinance, but Commissioner Jane Hall reportedly called for a flat-out ban on roosters after expressing concerns in the past about a noisy bird owned by her neighbor.
Hall called the rooster prohibition "a noise and privacy issue," according to the paper.
The bird ban was unanimously approved.
Commissioners also considered prohibiting hens but concluded that other feathered creatures can be addressed later.

If you drove into downtown Reno at all on Monday, you may have noticed some changes.
Hundreds of parking meters have been shut down. City officials terminated the contract with Curb System, the company that installed the meters two years ago.
Officials say the digital meters were too inconsistent. Most days they wouldn't even accept all forms of payment.
Because of that, the city lost $800,000 in revenue just in the last two years.
"It's really frustrating," says city official Cadence Matijevich. "It's frustrating for us as the city."
Frustrating for drivers as well, who told us they ran into all kinds of issues.
"Sometimes the machine's not working, or they don't take the card, debit card, credit card, whatever," says Ilda Licon.
Others encountered similar problems.
"Other times I put in quarters, and nothing happens," says Michael Mikel. "It's hit and miss."
The city says it tried to work out an agreement with Curb System, but talks fell through.
"It became clear to us that we were not going to end up with a functional system," says Matijevich. "We were not going to have a system that worked consistently."
Curb System released a statement last week, claiming the city did not hold up it's end of the deal. CEO Kane Dutt says the city was obligated to enforce parking violations, but then laid off most of the enforcement staff.
"The lack of enforcement downtown and an enforcement focus on other priorities, dramatically reduced revenues for the city's parking concession," Dutt said in the statement.
Now, crews will re-install the old single space meters. Some drivers say they'll be happy to see them put back.
"I kind of think they should have just left the meters in place," says Pam Sublett. "So, it worked out a lot better. At least for me it did."
It's just a temporary solution, however. City officials are looking for a company to put in a whole new system by the end of the year.
Re-installing those old single meters will take about a month. That means if you don't see kiosks or meters in front of a space, parking is free.
City officials urge folks to still use the honor system, and respect the two to five hour time limits.

A Personal List shows a collection of peaks selected by a registered Peakbagger.com user. Currently, two
kinds of personal list can be created: a "Life List" and a "Wish List". See below for general guidelines for these lists.
To add peaks to your life list or wish list, follow these instructions:
A climber's Life List is a collection of peaks that summarize a lifetime of mountain experiences, in the past, present, and future.
It shows the peaks a climber is most proud of climbing, the significant peaks with trips planned, and ultimate goals for the distant future. Your life list
can also be thought of as a "peaks I want to climb before I die" list, or a "bucket list".
If you are just getting started with climbing, mountaineering, or
peakbagging, perhaps all your life list peaks are now unclimbed by you. If you have some serious and/or inspiring climbs under your belt, adding them
to you life list is a great way to memorialize them. And no matter what your age, you can keep a group of peaks on your life list that, even if you do not think
you will ever stand atop them, will always remain a theoretical crowing achievement.
There could be some overlap between the life list and the wish list, but only if you are planning an important climb in the somewhat near future. A minor local hill you have
had your eye on for a off-season quick conditioning hike belongs on the wish list, while a far-away famous peak that inspired you via a calendar photograph belongs on the life list.
The Wish List for a climber shows the peaks that are high-priority ascents for the relatively immediate future. This list is not meant for far-off dreams--it is for
fairly definite plans for peaks where you have the skills and experience to make the ascent safely. However, a climber is free to add whatever peaks are desired, and
different climbers have different definitions of "farily definite plans". So there is nothing stopping a novice hiker from adding K2 to his wish list.
Like the life list, a climber can add a maximum of 100 peaks to his or her wish list. The other rule is that you cannot add a peak to your wish list that you
have already climbed. When you add an ascent of a peak on your wish list using the Peakbagger.com ascent logging system, it will automatically be deleted from you wish list,
with no additional action required by you.
A possible future site feature is the ability to look up other climbers that you share wish-list peaks with. If the other climbers allow anonymous e-mail contacts, you could even
find a climbing partner based on your shared interest in future objectives. That is one reason why it is a good idea to follow the guidelines here, so that climbing interests are
accurately and consistently listed.

"War Horse" opens Tuesday night at Gammage on the ASU campus. The main character of the play is a giant puppet horse, operated by three different actors. We got a behind-the-scenes look at how it all works.
"It's so unique because of the puppetry," says Rob Laqui. "You are literally strapped together by this puppet so it's such a unique experience and helps us keep the show alive."
"Joey" is a sight to behold. He will be on full display at Gammage. Three men operate Joey. In the show he belongs to little Albert.
"It's about a boy and his horse. The boy Albert raises his horse and then the horse has to go out to war," says Derek Stratton, who plays "Joey" in War Horse.
"It deals with war, the visuals of war and the realities of war, but at heart it really is a children's story and how transcends the world around them," says Laqui, who also plays Joey.
Hometown guy Mike Heslin is excited to be back in Tempe to perform. Gammage is nothing new to him.
"To be in Tempe is super special. Saw my first show here. I got bit by the acting bug at Gammage so to be back on a Broadway show is just incredible," says Heslin.
"More than anything it's an anthem for peace and also it touches on his human heartstrings as well," says Stratton.
Joey -- the central character in a show about peace and war, and the love between a boy and his horse.

Corn shredlage has piqued the interest of many dairy producers and nutritionists due to the benefits of more physically effective fiber (peNDF) and highly processed kernels.
Our group of dairy nutritionists has been quietly supportive, but cautious given the limited research on its benefits. We learned more about shredlage along with some of our clients in eastern Wisconsin this fall.
My associate, Matt Waldron, helped adjust choppers fitted with shredder heads by shaking hundreds of samples for multiple farms and custom harvesters through a four box Penn State forage separator. He quickly realized that the suggested roll settings on shredlage units were only starting points. There were too many unprocessed kernels and long sortable pieces of stover.
During the course of evaluating the silage through the shaker box, we developed our own set of guidelines for what looked like good feed.
Top Box: Look for ripped or shredded material that will pack well and reduce sorting. Obviously sortable (by the cow) particles indicate settings need to be adjusted. We recommend 15 – 25% in this box (low grain or drought stressed corn may be higher).
Second box: When machines were set properly, kernels on this screen were shattered. They were typically about the size of a half kernel, but were either empty kernels or severely "tortured" where the starch should be more quickly available. We recommend about 55-60% in this box.
Third box: This is where the small pieces of kernels and kernel contents ended up. We recommend 22-27% in this box. The fourth box contained less than 3%.
In our opinion, over 25% retention in the top box may create packing problems, especially in drier silage. It may also lead to sorting in the finished product. Careful monitoring through the entire harvest is imperative as field conditions change.
We worked with Claas, Krohn and John Deere units during this harvest. Although we observed some very obvious differences between brands, we expect the technology gap between brands will close very quickly.
We found that it took most of a day on some farms to dial in a given chopper, so it's important to stay on top of it to avoid putting up too many mistakes. Given the variability, a minimum of 4 truckloads and three to four samples per truck should be shaken before making chopper adjustments.

This week, I had the privilege of speaking with artist Judy Endow over Skype. Below, you can see two paintings from Judy's Blue-Green Leaves Collection that she discussed in our conversation. I have transcribed a section of our conversation below. Read on for some great insight on Judy's visual perception!
Jill: Hi Judy. I've enjoyed looking at your artwork on your website. It has given me a sense of some elements of your visual perception. Can you tell me more about your visual perception?
Judy: The best way to describe it is that my visual perception is never exactly the same twice. I never know what I'm going to get from day to day. This means if I look out my window, I might see things as if I was looking at a picture of it. If I'm in sensory overload and I look out my window, then I might see that same picture, but with everything jagged or with lines running through it. Or things might be moving that aren't supposed to be moving…sometimes the colors might be different.
I never know which flavor of different I will get. When I was little, I really didn't know what that was…like my eyes playing tricks on me; I actually thought things looked that way – a different way each time I looked. I didn't realize my visual perception was different from the stable visual perception of other people. And so I just didn't know how it was that other people never acted surprised— like if things started moving, why weren't other people getting dizzy? I didn't realize that other people didn't have a forever-changing visual perception of things they were seeing. In fact, I didn't realize until my late 40s, early 50s that the way I was seeing was different.
If you think of it did it ever occur to you that what you see might not be what other people are seeing? You assume a shared perception. You assume what you are seeing is what everyone else is seeing. In fact, you probably don't even think about it, but instead, it is simply an automatic assumption. We assume shared perception.
Jill: Can you share more about your sense of perception that inspired the five Blue-Green Leaves paintings you have featured on the website?
Judy: With Blue-Green Leaves I am looking at the same leaves five different times, and each time I pick up or perceive different detail. When I look at something, seeing the whole, I'll lose the details. Then, when I go to look at the details, I can see that detail really well, but then I lose track of the whole. This means I might get entranced with the way the light is reflecting on a certain part of a whole picture, but then have no idea what the picture is anymore because I only see that light reflection.
It's sometimes difficult to know what people want from me when they say something like, "Pay attention, focus!" Most of the time I already am paying attention and focusing, but if I am not focusing on the same thing you are focusing on then I won't be picking up on the information that you think is important or relevant. I might be picking up something totally different.
Take the example of the painting called Magnified Leaves that shows one little part of the Blue-Green Leaves magnified really big. When I see that magnified part I lose track of the whole branch of leaves and just see that one specific little part. In addition, sometimes when I look at things the color will fracture into different pieces. My vision can bend a certain way so as to separate all of the different components of an original color. In Magnified Leaves, you'll see entirely different, though similar, shades of greens and blues than you see in the Blue-Green Leaves Collection, and it's because my eyes can separate that out. Also, in Magnified Leaves, you'll see different patterns in the paint. I don't know if you can tell on the website, but if you looked at the original you could clearly see what I am describing. If I had not told you, would you know that I was looking at the very same branch of leaves in 1st Blue-Green Leaves as I was looking at in Magnified Leaves?

Judy: At times I can see different patterns in colors, too. Something I didn't realize until a few years ago was another difference in my perception from other people's perception is that when I see colors, I also can hear the sound of them and I can see the way the colors move. I didn't realize that other people don't have that experience. It explains all those times I have talked about the sound and movement of colors and people have looked at me funny and totally not understood what I was talking about. I now realize that other people do not share my perception!
Jill: I'm wearing turquoise today— my favorite color. Is there a sound you consistently associate with turquoise?
Judy: No, what happens is the sound and movement of colors are more …they're not attached to stationary, stable colors. They are generated when people are interacting; there's colors in the interaction that have sound and movement. I can tell by watching the colors when people are interacting whether or not the interaction is going well. I can get more information that way than from the meaning of spoken words.
Sometimes I'll have a conversation with someone, and even though the words are making sense, the sound of the colors is really clashing so I know we're not hitting it off in our conversation even if it seems ok. Other times I'll be talking to someone, and the colors …the way their moving, it's like one color will be trying to overtake another color. So then I can understand that the person's words are being bossy. I don't naturally pick up the hidden curriculum of social conversations, but I do understand much by watching the sound and the movement of colors generated as people talk with one another. Basically, I pick up information in a different way.
I think that's very important thing to know because the majority of people pick up social information in a certain way and because that's how they do it, and people with autism don't do that way, we get sent to all kinds of social skill classes. We are taught how to do things in a neurotypical way. It is as if people assume because autistics don't do it the NT way we have no other way of understanding interactions and we're clueless. It's just that some of us have alternative ways of perceiving information. I think nobody can support us to capitalize on our natural ways of perceiving the world around us because the neurotypical people are the support people we have and they don't understand how we pick up information so they have no way to support it in us. Instead they tend to say, "Oh, you don't do it the way I do. Let me teach you how!"
I think if we could understand how autistic people's brains work we could support that, rather than saying, "Oh you need to jump over to my operating system and do it this way." I understand why it is important for autistics to learn the NT (neurotypical) ways, but I wish people would understand it's like imposing a second language on us.
If you learn a second language, you probably won't think in that language, but you will have rudimentary skills so you can get along with others who speak that language. What's going to happen over time, with only the rudimentary understanding, is you're not going to be able to develop depth of a relationship with a person based only on using the basics of that second language. I think what happens with a lot of autistic people is that we're expected to act like neurotypicals, but then because we do not have their mode of operation – our brains do business differently - we're not often able to really have many meaningful relationships with other people. This happens because we're not allowed to be who we are, but instead are expected to copy the ways of NT – the presumed "right way."
Jill: I agree that there is a right for people to be able to think and communicate in their first neurological language. Thank you for sharing your insights with me, Judy. I look forward to following your work. I invite everyone to check out Judy's artwork and website at http://www.judyendow.com.

A lawyer was sentenced to life in prison Thursday for murdering the ex-girlfriend and child of former Bulls player Eddy Curry.
Cook County Judge Maura Slattery Boyle called Fredrick Goings a "predator" in the killings of Nova Henry and Ava Curry Henry.
Goings, who was hired by Nova Henry in a child support case against Curry, shot Henry, 24, in her South Loop condominium while she ran from the gunfire holding her daughter on Jan. 24, 2009, according to Cook County prosecutors.
Goings, 40, had an on-and-off romantic relationship with Nova Henry, but grew incensed when he learned that she had hired another lawyer and was planning to fight paying him $24,000 in attorney's fees, prosecutors said.
"Mr. Goings is basically a fraud," Boyle said. "You are a facade as a lawyer and a human being."
But Goings said he "still maintains my innocence today" and that there was a "rush to judgement" in his case.
"I loved Ava and Nova," he said, thanking everyone involved in the case, including prosecutors.
At least five members of Nova Henry and Ava Curry Henry's family took the stand to describe the impact of the murders.
Henry's aunt called Goings a "sheep in wolf's clothing" who stalked Nova Henry like a "pesky animal."
"You're really messed in the head, Fred," the woman seethed, staring at Goings.
Nova Henry's mother, Yolan, called Goings a "mad man" who was filled with "venom."
She said finding her grandson, Noah, playing with his sister's and mother's blood, was more than anyone should have to bear. But ultimately she said she forgave Goings.
"Fred, I forgive you and your family. That's something you'll have to deal with. Peace," Yolan Henry said.
Assistant State's Attorney James McKay described Goings' acts as "pure evil."
"He is a pathetic excuse for a man and he was a pathetic excuse of a lawyer. . . He deserves to die in prison," McKay said.
Goings fled to Indiana after gunning down Henry and the child at the home at 51 W. 15th St.
A hotel worker at a Comfort Inn in Michigan City, Ind., had testified that Goings was in a rush to do his laundry at a late hour. And police said they saw Goings in the hotel pool, furiously cleaning his nails in an apparent attempt to wash off evidence.
Curry and Henry's then 3-year-old son, Noah, also was at the condo at the time of the shootings, but he was unharmed.
When Yolan Henry found the boy alone with the bodies of his mother and sister, he allegedly told her who pulled the trigger.
"Fredrick did it," Yolan Henry testified that the boy told her, adding that he then "put his finger to his lips and said, 'shhh.' "
Curry, a former star at Thornwood High School in South Holland before being drafted by the Bulls, did not testify. He now plays for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in China.
Defense attorneys argued Goings was innocent, pointing that no physical evidence tied him to the double murder.

Providence Hosts Manchester in Potential Playoff Match-Up
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins (39-25-2-5, 85 PTS, 2nd Atlantic) host the Manchester Monarchs (34-29-0-8, 76 PTS, 3rd Atlantic) this evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in the teams' seventh of eight regular season meetings in 2008-09. The P-Bruins are 1-2-1-2 against the Monarchs on the year, including 1-1-0-0 at The Dunk. The only remaining game in the season-set will be the last of the regular season in Rhode Island on April 5.
Providence topped the Hartford Wolf Pack 5-3 last Sunday to pull within one point of first place in the Atlantic and the club is now just one win shy of its eighth 40-win campaign in 17 seasons. First-year head coach Rob Murray served an assistant's role as the P-Bruins reached 40 wins in each of the last four seasons, including 55 victories in 2007-08 en route to a regular season title under Scott Gordon. Providence's recent run of success at home bodes well for the squad as the P-Bruins are 5-0-0-2 in their last seven contests in the Ocean State and they boast a division-best 24 wins.
Manchester is one of four teams separated by only six points between third and sixth in the Atlantic. The top four clubs, currently occupied by Hartford, Providence, Manchester and the Portland Pirates, respectively, qualify for the playoffs. The Worcester Sharks sit percentage points back of Portland while the Lowell Devils are three points behind the fourth-place Pirates. The Monarchs have posted points in three straight games (1-0-0-2) and they are 16-7-0-3 over their last 26 games to put themselves in a position to move on to the league's second season. If the regular season ended today, which of course it does not with each team showing nine games remaining, Providence and Manchester would square off in the opening round of the playoffs.
Special teams has been a big difference through six games in the season-series as the P-Bruins have converted on just three of 29 power plays (10.3%) while the Monarchs are 10-for-30 (33.3%) with the man-advantage. Overall on the season, Providence ranks tied for 16th (16.6%) with the extra skater and 20th (82.1%) when short-handed. On the other, Manchester is 13th (17.4%) with the power play and sixth (84.8%) on the penalty kill.
Offensively, Monarchs forward Trevor Lewis leads all scorers in the series with four goals, seven assists and 11 points. Teammate Marty Murray is second with eight points (2g, 6a) while P-Bruins rookie Brad Marchand comes in third with seven points (g, 6a). Between the pipes, Providence's Tuukka Rask is 1-3-1 with a 2.55 goals-against-average. Manchester's Jonathan Bernier is 2-0-0 with a 2.36 GAA and .931 save percentage in his three outings.
Rask is 30-19-3 with four shutouts and a 2.51 GAA in his sophomore season while the rookie Bernier is 20-20-4 with four blankings of his own and a 2.42 GAA. Martin St. Pierre paces Providence with 61 points, including 47 assists. Freshman Mikko Lehtonen is first on the team with 25 goals, tied for tops among all AHL first-year players. For Manchester, Murray leads his club with 49 points and 35 helpers. Lewis and Matt Moulson share a team-high 16 goals apiece.
Tonight is Adam McQuaid Bobblehead Night as Providence Bruins Promotional Nights continue. On Saturday, the P-Bruins return to the road to battle Hartford in Connecticut at 7 p.m. The weekend wraps up Sunday when Providence hosts Worcester at 4:05 p.m. for a Team Poster giveaway.
To purchase tickets or for more information, call the Providence Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com. Tickets may be purchased in person by visiting the Dunkin' Donuts Center Box Office or all TicketMaster outlets.

I thought I'd leave the comfort of my home tonight. I thought I wouldn't see the bottom of this bottle tonight. I thought my heart wouldn't race, I thought my chest wouldn't tighten as I tried to walk out the door tonight. All the thinking in the world couldn't stop my throat from closing, the tears from stinging my eyes, or my palms from sweating as I tried to dial the phone. Another night spent in silence that could have been filled with laughter. Another night spent wondering why I sometimes can't control my breathing. Another night spent hiding from the world.
"…all she had to say about you is you're beautiful."
Cue my laughter.
"I'm not kidding"
I don't get it.
I've never been the 'pretty one'. It's always been…oh her, she's cool. I don't know to react to compliments. They are awkward.
There were old familiar streets, dusty and dirty in the light of day. When night fell they became illuminated by porch lights and street lights we used to use to tell the time. There is no denying the feeling of home, knowing every crack in the sidewalk from my house to yours. These streets make me feel like all time has stopped just for me, and for a moment everything is right. You can laugh with your whole heart here and smile until your lips reach the sky. Every hand is for holding and every body is for hugging. There is something about home, about the past, that is forever comforting. I may get chided for refusing to move on, for romanticizing something that has long since gone but sometimes a feeling is worth holding on to. But the past is like a drug and every time reality comes crashing back the withdrawals seem almost too much to bare. So scenes replay in your mind, like old black and white movies, and you try to hold onto that moment where a hug lasted just a second longer than it should and your heart sank as the present came rushing back as soon as the embrace was broken. You walked the familiar streets back to reality, looking back only once as the past drove off leaving nothing but a trail of dust to remind you of what you left behind.
I'd like to take back the things I may have said to you.
Sometimes I'm just not myself.
I'm sorry for the way I interject myself into your life because I feel like I need it…not stopping to think if you do.
Could this just be over now?
It's ok. I'm ok. I can smile through it all.
I sit, drinking an endless cup of wine, thinking lonely thoughts. Even though I do truly love the silence of being alone, that doesn't mean that I want to be alone. I am a grown ass woman thinking about playground nights and walks around Dorrs Pond. A grown ass woman thinking about nights when I was seventeen. I want to be seventeen. Carefree. Laughing. Crying. Loving everything and everyone with all my heart. I have been ranting a lot. The Fall is coming. With it, darkened evenings and wind swept days. I am not ready to live a grown up life. I miss late nights filled with music and laughter. Nights that radiated love from every angle. I have the best, most beautiful life now…yet I long for something I have left in my past. A feeling. A sound. My hands on a speaker. The sounds vibrating through my veins. Late nights in parking lots and fast food booths. Curfews broken while memories where being born. I want to sit in the booth of a twenty four hour dinner, liquor on my breathe and laughter in my throat. I have forever been a dreamer, living in an endless waking dream - responsibility just out of reach. I will drink my box of wine and dream my life away. I will love myself for it, I will hate myself for it. A heartbreak junkie, where I supply my own heartbreak. Please sing me a lullaby because all I want is to fall asleep in love.
Sometimes things happen in life and at the time you may be pissed, upset, hurt, confused…whatever. But you wake up the next morning to realize that you are finally free. So thank you for being an asshole that one last time. Because it will be the last. Something clicked inside of me and I am finally done giving a rats ass about you because I realize now you don't give a rats ass about me. I'm not sure why you kept me around so long, or why I stayed around so long…just waiting for you to accept me back into you life. The thing is is I am done. And I just feel so free. A weight has been lifted, one I didn't even know was there. And while I may still feel a little sad (ugh - I cannot lie to myself - you were a part of my life for so many years) I am so very happy to be free of you. So thank you again for being such a self centered ass.

Fertility after Cancer Treatment: New Hope from New Research
Cancer is often thought of as a disease of the elderly, but it affects people of all ages, including infants, children, and young adults. With new therapies providing remission or cure for more and more patients, more and more cancer survivors are living with the side effects of treatment. One concern unique to younger cancer patients is the effect that treatment may have on their ability to have a family later in life. All of the standard therapies for cancer - surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy - can negatively affect fertility under certain circumstances.
Most obvious is the effect of surgery on fertility. Removal of reproductive organs, such as the testicles, ovaries, or uterus, makes parenthood through normal means difficult to impossible. Even if the reproductive organs are not the primary target, radiation therapy to the pelvis or abdomen can permanently damage parts of the reproductive system. Chemotherapy drugs target rapidly dividing cells in the body, which include sperm cells and the protective layer of cells around a woman's eggs. The extent of the damage to the reproductive system depends on the type of drugs used, the dose received, and the patient's age at the time of treatment.
Recently, there has been a push from many fronts for greater awareness of the issues facing cancer survivors, including loss of fertility. Fertility preservation has become an active area of research, and new solutions are joining more mainstream techniques to provide new hope to patients.
For women, several surgical procedures for gynecologic cancer provide the option of preserved fertility. For example, some women with early-stage ovarian cancer can have surgery that only removes one ovary instead of both ovaries and the uterus. A new technique called abdominal radical trachelectomy can preserve the uterus for some women with cervical cancer.
But concerns remain about the rates of recurrence after fertility-sparing surgery for gynecologic cancer, and these techniques cannot prevent damage caused by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. For these reasons, work on the preservation and reintroduction of a woman's viable ovarian tissue has generated excitement in the cancer community. In 2004, the first healthy baby conceived using this technology was born. Autotransplantation is currently considered experimental, but may play a larger role in preserving women's fertility in the future.
Sperm banking has been a mainstay for men undergoing cancer therapy that might damage their ability to father children. But this technique is not useful for men with very low sperm count or sperm motility. Testicular sperm extraction is a new technique that removes sperm cells directly from testicular tissue. Some experimental assisted reproductive technologies such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection - the in vitro injection of a single sperm into an egg - can use surgically extracted sperm.
Along with technological innovation in the field comes a greater awareness that these issues need to be thoroughly discussed with young patients before treatment.
"We have to improve the technology, to figure out how to protect gonadal function during treatment, but we also have to heighten people's awareness, particularly in the medical community," says Dr. Ted Trimble of NCI's Gynecologic Cancer Therapeutics Program.
"Reproductive issues need to be considered and discussed with patients or, in the case of minors, with their parents," he continues. "In addition, after treatment, the issues of reproduction and sexuality need to be part of the standard things that you talk to people about."
In light of this new awareness, the Health Services Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) is developing practice guidelines on fertility preservation in cancer patients, which they hope to complete in the next few months.
"It came to the committee's attention that there was growing activity around fertility preservation in patients with cancer," explains Dr. Stephanie Lee of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and a member of the ASCO committee, "and that this would be a good opportunity for ASCO to look at the available data and to produce some guidance for practicing oncologists."
The new guidelines will be available to physicians as well as members of the public who are interested in this quality-of-life issue.By Sharon Reynolds

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jamiedee Loved the shoes...unfortunately not the quality I ordered this shoe from two separate retailers and both times received the shoe damaged. At first I chucked it up to the store, which had in the past sent me used merchandise, and reordered from a different department store. Again the shoe had the same damage (piping coming undone at the top of the shoe). This was very unfortunate because I really loved these shoes and was looking forward to making them a staple in my summer wardrobe. June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roman68 Love, love, love... I am so happy with these shoes! Not only are they feminine and classy but they are so comfortable. I ordered a 7.5 and fit perfectly. True to size. They really go great with just about anything...shorts, dresses and jeans. Have had many compliments and will be wearing them all summer! Thanks Tory! June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CEEEM Perfect wedge I'm so excited about this shoe. It's gorgeous and perfect for summer. I usually wear an 8 but got a 7 1/2 because that's what was left Its a little snug but after a few wears I think they will fit just like I want them to. May 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by seminoletia Great style and comfort! Great style for the summer. The medium size wedge gives great comfort and just the right amount of height. I can wear them on the weekends or pair them with business casual for summer work! May 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Biscotti I wanted these to work I absolutely love TB shoes and so wanted these nude colored espadrilles. I purchased my normal size 7B and they crunched my toes. Reluctantly I ordered a 7-1/2B and when I walked they slipped off my heel. I had a feeling a half size up would not work. I could have stuck with the 7 B but was afraid after walking they would hurt. Not sure if the fabric would stretch. I just could not justify spending this kind of money on a shoe that may or may not work. Only to end up sitting in my closet and not worn. Perhaps this style with a sling back would work better since espadrilles typically do not bend when walking. The style is classy and beautiful. I have so many things that could be worn with these. I had to send back. Hoping for something else to come along. May 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mimi24 Damaged after one use I wore these for the first time today and I was going to store them on my shoe rack and that's when I noticed that my left shoe was falling apart. The shoe is becoming unglued after one use.Poorly made May 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Les77 Awesome shoe! This shoe fits true to size. They felt tight at first ,but after wearing around the house they stretched a bit. I can see if I went up a size the shoe might slip in the back. I will be wearing these all summer! May 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Marie7 Dissapointment.... I love shoes of TB, I have a narrow feet. always wear 11 of TB shoes, no problem with ordering on line at at all... BUT today... First look - they look already small. Yes, they are small, made in Spain, 11B, measurement of inner sole is 9 3/4, or 26.5cm??? How is this possible? Has Spain different sizing for US 11??? I have ordered these hoping to have a great summer shoes... no way I will be able to wear them... :( May 19, 2014

MOSINEE, Wis. (WSAU) - Learn more about the history of the Wisconsin River Valley this weekend at the Little Bull Falls Logjam in Mosinee.
Director Tammy Campo says they've got some great new events this year. "We've got the All American Logging show on Saturday, and we do have an all new historic encampment. We'll have 35 camps set up doing demonstration and art history."
The main attraction is the historical encampment along the Wisconsin River at River Park. Campo says it's a chance to learn more about the logging history of the area. "We have all kinds of re-enactors, and they're all historic. They're from the 1600s to the 1920."
We've got a full schedule of events on the homepage.

Volunteer Policies
Policies and Procedures for Volunteers
- Age
- Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age to volunteer at the shelter. Volunteers that are between the ages of 14-17 must go through an interview process before volunteering, and will need to be accompanied by a parent to all trainings and shifts for the first 3 months. Not all volunteers between the ages of 14-17 will be accepted.
- Time Committment and Shifts
- Volunteers will be required to make a minimum time commitment of at least 2 hours/week for 3 months to be considered. Shifts will be the same time every week and we will do our best to accommodate volunteer schedules and requests. We will try and accommodate requests for lower hours if possible, but none of these projects will involve working directly with the animals
- Customer Service
- Volunteers need to be professional and friendly during any interaction with a customer. Only volunteers that have trained as Animal Care Specialist volunteers will be able to assist customers with animal visits. All customer requests can be forwarded to the front desk to be resolved by an employee.
- Privacy Information
- The Chameleon database contains information protected by confidentiality laws and volunteers are not allowed to share any information contained in Chameleon with outside parties. Information stored in Chameleon is not to be changed or altered in any way. Door codes and computer login information are also not to be shared. Unauthorized release of information may result in legal proceedings.
- Clothing
- Proper footwear is essential while working at the shelter. Closed-toe shoes, preferably athletic shoes, need to be worn while working with the animals. No sandals are allowed. Long pants are also encouraged. Short skirts are not allowed. Please wear comfortable clothing as these are hands-on jobs. Volunteer aprons need to be worn when working with the animals. Each apron should have a bottle of "Direct Stop" in it and a bottle of hand sanitizer.
- Fostering
- We encourage volunteers to foster if they are able. All fostering needs to be approved through the adoption department and proper forms need to be filled out.
- Off-Property Volunteers
- Certain dogs are allowed to leave the property with volunteers to go to parks and for longer walks in the neighborhood. Any volunteer leaving the property with an animal needs to check with an Animal Care Supervisor or Lead before leaving. Please have all dogs back by 4:30 and they cannot be gone over 3 hours. Please do not take dogs further than neighborhood walks on Saturdays, since it is the busiest adoption day.
- Disease Protocol
- Volunteers can now work with cats in the Cattery. Please sanitize your
hands before and after each individual cat you touch. When working with
cats in the Cattery (or taking them to the Cat Socialization room), hands
MUST be sanitized between animals. Make sure not to handle animals that
have signs indicating they are being treated by the veterinarian.
When working with dogs it is important to sanitize hands between each animal. Sanitizer can be found in the volunteer room and should be carried in your apron at all times. Remember to clean up after animals that you have been socializing both inside and outside of the shelter.
- Kennel Safety Basics
- Please always be aware of your surroundings. Watch to make sure that
you do not remove animals from kennels when other animals or customers are
walking nearby. Animals can react unpredictably when in a stressful kennel
environment. Do not walk a dog near other animals while in the shelter.
Also look into an outside run before bringing a dog outside.
Remember to always check an animal's body language before removing him from the kennel. If an animal shows signs of fear or aggression in their body posturing, do not remove him from the kennel.
- Dog Fights
- There is always the potential for dog fights to happen in a kennel environment.
In the event of a fight, do not attempt to break the fight up yourself.
Try to split animals up through use of air horns, kennel hoses, or quickly
find a staff member to assist you. Dogs should not be taken out together
if they do not share a kennel.
It's important to remember some basics about dog behavior to avoid dog fights:
- Dogs that get along with some dogs do not necessarily get along with ALL dogs
- Dogs that get along with another particular dog in some situations (such as kennel mates) will not necessarily get along in all situations (such as around toys outside in the yard)
- Walking through the shelter is stressful for an animal. Keep him/her away from all other animals walking nearby
We ask that volunteers not come in large groups (more than 2 or 3 individuals), since our shelter space is limited.

Promotional film for a series of books published by Paper Division of Champion Papers Inc., describing how images in film are graphically translated and vibrantly reproduced on their paper. This particular book and film, Imagination 10, showcases the beauty and design of trains and attempts to capture the experience of traveling by train, describing the landscapes and city lights blurring by like moving paintings. A variety of trains are shown from every possible angle and exterior detail, with some interior dining shots, and many views from front, rear and side windows while the train is in motion.

Subject: The Best of Industrial Films
This film shows us the interesting world of the railroad by using innovative photographic techniques. The purpose is to show how stills can be reproduced with dramatic artistry on Champion International paper stock for books, etc. The whole feel is chic yet charming. The narrator, Gerald Mohr, has a warm, classic voice. The storyline is tight and cohesive and the custom score, which includes a folksy, jazzy version of "I've Been Working on the Railroad" is cool. All in all, as good as gets.

One word - FLOAT
(And stalk your lovers)
I always try not to be a singles person. Just to respect the effort put by the artist in conveying a story through the medium of music in an album.
Well sometimes its tough to actually get over a single song and try the album, you know? The song I'm talking about is Between the Bars from Elliott Smith's 1997 album Either/Or.
After hearing it on the Good Will Hunting OST I literally couldn't stop listening to the 2 min heartwarming track, everytime it ended all I wanted was to play it over and over again.
Took me quite some will power(and boredom, to be honest) to actually try out the rest of the album.
Thank god for that boredom!
Amazing album from the word go. From the nirvana-esque tension on 2 45 am & Cupid's trick, to the touching Angeles and (of course) Between the Bars, and the plain lovely Rose Parade & Ballad of Big Nothing, the album start to finish calms a tense mind, providing some unknown familiarity. You tend to emote with him and the characters he talks about without knowing anything about them.
The whisper vocal overdubs, slight overdriven guitar, and ofcourse the warm acoustics give a very peaceful atmosphere to the listener.
(I find it tough to adjectify all the songs though)
Thank you Elliott Smith for reassuring my love for albums. This album is worth way more than the time you can invest in it. Rest assured that it will calm you in any situation.
I ask you to follow him down to the rose parade.

" the Notwist have always strived to move the heart over the hips" says Stuart Berman (who evidently seems to like my favourite artists) while he reviewed The Notwist's 2008 LP The Devil, You + Me. I couldn't agree with him more. The electronic influences which were a huge part of Neon Golden seem have to reduced, and more of traditional rock is present, but bottom-line is, the album moved me.
This band has helped me so much through the past year in the good times and the bad times. I owe them.
But the problem with this song is that its so good, that I mostly to listen to it on repeat when it comes on the album, rather than continuing with the rest of the (very very good) album.
Like all the cars in New York
Like all the lights on New Year
Like all these gloomy planets
You know they stay anyway
Never do understand their lyrics perfectly, but they are always calming and familiar inexplicably.
The Devil, You + Me.

Beach House - Walk in the Park (Itunes Sessions EP)
Better than the original in some ways.
Love how the band had started out, just guitar, percussions and such great vocals. Daytrotter captures their sound amazingly. Great great record, 3 rounds and a sound. Recommended listen.
Israel Nebeker, the lead singer of Portland, Oregon, band Blind Pilot makes me think often of the dangling string of a balloon bursting away from an unwilling, recently disappointed hand, racing toward the heavens as if there were a fire. The string becomes the thickness of a thread and then as thick as a period, then diminishes into nothing while the vibrant solid color of the escaping, round balloon remaining something that can be picked out of the air, still spotted up there as it nears the clouds close enough without actually getting to them.
I'm not always a fan of Sean Moeller's writing on daytrotter, but this was just, wow. Do check out the page and listen to the session.
Also, an interesting read on the band's early years and tours.

This was recommended to me by a friend, and I found it to be a big improvement over the good old soapy water. Much slicker, and remains slick for the duration of the tire change. Then gets tacky after a few hours. Occasionally, the nozzle gets clogged, so I wash it out with mineral spirits or replace.Read All Reviews

The Brewers career of JJ Hardy is the kind of career that was great at the time, but over the years we'll eventually forget all about it. Kind of like New Kids on the Block. Like NKOTB, JJ was beloved by young girls and just like NKOTB, JJ peaked at a young age. Don't believe me? Let's take a look at the seemingly parallel careers of JJ Hardy and New Kids on the Block.

Witrado's Quest Part 2
The slow news days have begun and due to MLB rules there is only a playoff game once every six days. What do we do? Inspired by our favorite site The Dugout, we've decided to follow our favorite JSOnline writer Anthony Witrado on a quest. A quest to find love, adulation and respect in a cruel world that doesn't understand him or particularly like him. Will he find what he's been seeking? Or will he fail at it, like he's failed at life so many times before? Find out in Witrado's Quest: A Miller Park Drunk Event.
In part one Anthony learned that his fellow writers at the Journal Sentinel were not fans of his. Convinced that they are the only ones, Anthony set off to find someone who is. Continue reading →

SNEAK PEEK: Journal Sentinel 2009 Brewers grades
The JSOnline's Brewers season grades are always a lot of fun. In 2008 Gabe Kapler received a better grade than anyone on the offense. In 2007 JJ Hardy, Joe Dillon and Ryan Braun were deemed equal. The thought that goes into these rankings clearly takes at least 5-10 minutes. I have a few sources on the inside of the JSHQ and they were able to give me a few of the grades ahead of their publishing along with some preliminary notes. Not sure if it will be EXACTLY like this on Sunday (or whenever these come out), but I can guarantee it will make the same amount of sense. Hope you enjoy.
Jason Kendall: B- That one time he hit a homerun. Guys loved throwing at him. Also, hit a homerun that other time.
Prince Fielder: C+ If he doesn't tie for RBI lead he is sure B-.Would be higher if team was better. It's his fault for record.
Felipe Lopez: A+++++ If I was GM I'd pay him a million trillion dollars!
JJ Hardy: INCOMPLETE Team is stupid for sending him down.
Alcides Escobar: C+Dazzling defense, but the bat isn't there. Seems like one of the best
Craig Counsell: B- One of the best seasons of his career.
Casey McGehee: C True Rookie of the Year candidate filled the hole at third base adequately.
Rickie Weeks: F- Got hurt. LOPEZZZZZZ!!!!!
Corey Hart: B- Changed his at-bat music later in the season and I really enjoyed it.
Mike Cameron: D He may have been one of the Brewers' best hitters, but he struck out a lot.
Ryan Braun: C- Wasn't as good as I thought he'd be. Would be higher if team did better, it's his fault.
Frank Catalanotto: A One of the lone bright spots.
Jody Gerut: F+
Yovani Gallardo: C- Not enough like CC.
Trevor Hoffman: A+ Best. Free. Agent. Signing. Ever.
Braden Looper: C- Sure, it was the worst season of his career and he led the league in homeruns and earned runs allowed. He had 14 wins! 14!
Jeff Suppan: D+ If he would have pitched better Brewers would have won the World Series.
Manny Parra: Somewhere between B and F.
Dave Bush: D- Bring back Doug Davis.
Mark DiFelice: B Can't imagine where the Brewers would have finished without his 3.66 ERA.
Mitch Stetter: C- His 3.60 ERA was a pleasant surprise.
Claudio Vargas: D- 1.78 ERA with Brewers. Am I supposed to be impressed?
Mike Burns: C Did a good job with what he was asked to do.
Seth McClung: B- "We need to give a good grade to Seth because he's my friend on twitter. -Tom"
Todd Coffey: C+Pitched a lot of games.
The rest: F

Anatomy of a Play
In case you missed the Brewers game yesterday (and I am guessing you probably did), Alcides Escobar made probably the best play I have seen all year. I described it on twitter as "alcides with a play jj is incapable of dreaming about" and later Al's Ramblings said basically the same thing (I would link to the post but Al has a terrible CMS that won't allow it). If you didn't see it or just want to watch it again, here it is.
Whenever you see a play like that you are awestruck and filled with questions. How did he do that? What was going through his mind on the play? Well, luckily for you I have the upgraded version of MLB.tv which includes a new feature called mind reading which I have transcribed for your enjoyment. Continue reading →

Meet Alcides Escobar ladies

The problem is the JJ days are probably over. The Alcides Escobar era is here and there's nothing we can do about it. I want the ladies to love Alcides, but the fact is that he is nowhere near as good looking as JJ Hardy. A friend of mine tells me that he enjoys vodka/cranberry and Michael Jackson, but that's just not enough to make this happen. We need more.
Luckily for Alcides he has me on his side. Here's 10 things that Alcides Escobar can do (scratch that, WILL DO) to make the ladies love him like they love JJ. When we're done with him he's going to make JJ Hardy look like Jonathan Knight (to his Donnie Wahlberg (or Joey McIntyre depending on your preference)) and no one will care when he comes out of the closet.
