I must confess: math is not my strong suit. I am a Word Girl. Still, as we point out to my nearly 11-year-old daughter, math is part of our everyday life. We use it all the time ... often without realizing it.
About six years ago, we discovered Sylvan Dell's series of math-based picture books. The publisher had sent me some titles to review for The Reading Tub, my nonprofit. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. My daughter was in Kindergarten and the concepts offered by One Odd Day, My Even Day, and My Half Day were just what we needed. In fact, she enjoyed them so much she took them to school to share with her classmates. As my daughter's Kindergarten teacher said "[These books] succeed in getting the kids excited about math. You can't ask for more than that."
What began with One Odd Day has now gone on to include picture books that help kids with concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. With the exception of The Great Divide by Suzanne Slade (division) , we have not seen the other titles. Still, I'm betting they are just as wonderful as these three ...
One Odd Day
by Doris Fisher and Dani Sneed; illustrated by Karen Lee
Sylvan Dell Publishing, 2006
Is it really possible? This is truly odd! From the numbers on the clock, to the sleeves on his shirt, our young student has a day filled with nothing but odd numbers. Even Princess, his dog, has five legs! This rhyming book helps children learn and distinguish odd numbers.
- The class (25 Kindergarteners) laughed their way through the numbers, pointing out lots of the smaller elements in the illustrations.
- Humorous illustrations and a rhyming story combine to help kids identify odd numbers from 1 to 99. A coloring activity at the back helps them create visual effects of number patterns for themselves.
- "I love these books and I'm going to order them for my classroom."
- You'll want to have it at home for several of the early math years, because it will help reinforce learning in a way that makes sense to them.
My Even Day
by Doris Fisher and Dani Sneed; illustrated by Karen Lee
Sylvan Dell Publishing, 2007
What would you do if your mom had two heads and you had two left shoes? How would you handle the class trip to the zoo? Such are the dilemmas our young student faces when he wakes up and realizes that everything in his day is an even number!
- The Kindergarten class (25 kids) had a lot of fun with the story. They liked the silliness of it and there was plenty of laughter.
- We read this with One Odd Day so when we got to the end and our student sees only half his hair, they were ready to read about fractions!
My Half Day
by Doris Fisher and Dani Sneed; illustrated by Karen Le
Sylvan Dell Publishing, 2008
In words and imagery, My Half Day walks children through the portions of life. This is a humorous fantasy that builds learning fractions into the story.
- Our daughter has been waiting anxiously for this book ever since her class read My Even Day. She laughed her way through the book, pointing out the differences, changes, and otherwise funny things (like camp counselors on skates).
- This is fun to read, and the illustrations offer lots of opportunities for exploring (with or without reading the text). It will take a couple more readings before our child gets past the humor of the story and settles in to its lessons.
- For kids who are just learning fractions or are struggling with them, this would be a handy book to have. It's much more fun than flashcards.

Title: | Fire Hot Spot Areas in Southern Europe - Detection of Large-Scale Wildland Fire Occurrence Patterns by Adaptive Kernel Density Interpolation |
Authors: | ALLGOEWER Britta; CAMIA ANDREA; FRANCESETTI Annalisa; KOUTSIAS Nikos |
Citation: | Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Remote Sensing and GIS Applications to Forest Fire Management: Fire Effects Assessment p. 47-50 |
Publisher: | Universidad de Zaragoza |
Publication Year: | 2005 |
URI: | http://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC31404 |
Type: | Articles in periodicals and books |
Abstract: | The study proposes an adaptive kernel density interpolation approach to define large-scale wildland fire occurrence patterns and to identify 'fire hot spot areas' using fire ignition observations aggregated at community level. The number of fires per community is used as the intensity variable for the kernel density estimation calculations. Adaptive kernel density interpolation allows for varying the kernel size according to the concentration of the interpolated points. After several experiments, locally varying bandwidth sizes proved to perform best, and the interpolation of 10 community centroids under the same kernel showed a reasonable variability in the resulting density surfaces. |

We also chose to plant mixed lettuce and cos seedlings, as well as kale, tomatoes and capsicums. We figured they will be the most useful to us, and will grow well in pots. Hopefully next year we will be able to expand a bit more.
Our lemon and lime trees already have baby fruits on them, and our chilli bush has lots of green chillies just waiting to ripen. Unfortunately, last year our chillies all were eaten by birds as they ripened, so we have hung some CDs this year, in the hope that the reflections will scare them off. Will see how we go.

The School of Dental Medicine curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive educational experience that allows them to master the knowledge and requisite skills associated with the practice of general dentistry.
The goals of the curriculum are to help students:
- Gain an understanding of the basic sciences related to structures, functions and interrelationships among body systems in both health and disease.
- Develop competency in clinical skills which include but are not limited to patient assessment, treatment-planning, patient education, prevention of oral disease, control of pain and anxiety, prevention and management of dental and medical emergencies, and the diagnosis, management and treatment of the major oral diseases and conditions.
- Gain an understanding of behavioral science concepts from the fields of psychology, sociology, public health and administration applied to the delivery of care and to the management of a dental practice.
The curriculum consists of two major components, the Basic Medical Sciences (BMS) and the Dental Sciences (DS). Both components run parallel in a manner to both reinforce essential information and to reduce non-beneficial redundancy.

Since I'm on the West Coast, I'll probably be heading out for dinner just as the debate is starting, and later finishing up a piece for a dead-tree publication that's due first thing tomorrow. So don't look for much--if any--live blogging, with the exception of the live Debate Facts feed above.
But there are lots and lots of bloggers who will be liveblogging--and in one or two cases even blottoblogging the debate.
Stop by their sites early and often.

Names have been changed to protect the innocent. And also the guilty. Mostly from prosecution. But also from involuntary commitment.
19 July 2012
Rest Easy
We were kids together.
The four us, mostly, because Jay was so much older.
Road trips with Grandma.
God, we must have driven her insane.
Those damn trees, remember?
"Look at the pretty trees..."
She talked about them the whole way down to Indy.
Payback probably for the bouncy balls and the gum in her car's carpet.
For the cigarette butts behind her garage.
Remember how she always knew when we had been smoking pot?
I still don't know how she knew.
Christmas Eve and Easter Day.
Coloring eggs.
You stapled my finger.
You tried to shoot me with the nail gun when we were doing the roof.
We had the whole damn world in front us.
Your brother's wedding.
All those boys, and finally that baby girl you were so enamored with.
We joked about taking a collection in the family to pay for a vasectomy for you.
I'm sorry now.
For not understanding.
For judging you.
For not realizing that you weren't you anymore.
You made it easy, all those things you did wrong.
Immoral and illegal.
Chasing that motherfucking dragon.
Anything for the drug.
I didn't understand.
You had demons I couldn't see.
Wouldn't have understood them if I had.
I didn't understand, then, what that drug did to people.
How it changes you.
Controls you.
That last high.
I won't pretend to understand it.
Seems so simple to me, you had so much going for you again.
Seemed like you were gonna make it this time.
You didn't.
So here we all are, grieving for you.
For all that you were and all that you could have been.
All of your children, fatherless now.
Your mother, devastated by the loss of her firstborn.
Your brother.
God, your brother.
You two were inseparable for so long.
Your dad.
She's heartbroken.
One should never have to bury a child, a grandchild.
It happens, I know.
That doesn't make it better, easier.
I wish you'd known how much you were loved.
I wish you hadn't gone back to that dark place.
Where you were all alone.
And you couldn't see a way out, except for that high.
Just a few years ago, we all expected this day.
Just a few years ago, we all expected this day.
It would have hurt, but it wouldn't have shocked so many people.
We all had faith that you'd make it this time.
Makes it so much harder to accept.
At least you're out of the darkness now.
Rest easy, Cousin.
I pray you find the peace in death that you couldn't find in life.

There was a great article in the current issue of Inside Direct Mail (written by Alan Rosenspan) titled "50 New Ways To Improve Response".
The article divided the tips up among 5 categories:
- The Outer Envelope
- The Letter
- The Brochure
- The Reply Device
- Miscellaneous
We thought it would make for an interesting and helpful blog post if we shared with you 1 tip from each category.
Here they are…
The Outer Envelope
Use a window with a color tint. We've used both yellow and red, sometimes tinting the cellophane, sometimes just using color on the window to give the appearance of a tint. It makes the envelope stand out more.
The Letter
Test an unusual salutation. If you can't personalize it, why settle for "Dear Colleague" or "Dear Friend"? An antique magazine began its winning letter with, "Dear Lover of Beautiful Things."
The Brochure
Show a photograph of your target market on the cover, but remember the 20 percent rule. Show photos of people who are 20 percent younger than your target market, 20 percent more attractive, 20 percent better dressed — because that's how most people see themselves.
The Reply Device
Make the boxes big enough. If you want people to give you their credit card information, their phone numbers or anything else — make sure they have enough room. And don't use glossy paper. Their pens will smear and they may decide not to respond.
Test frequency. Some clients say, "I can't mail again — I just sent a mailing last month!" Do you remember what you received in the mail last month? Last week? Yesterday? As David Ogilvy said, "You're not advertising to a standing army. You're advertising to a passing parade." People who don't need you one week might need you the next.

text: With 1998's "Slyfi", Dave's fourth solo release, he finally achieves complete musical success that eluded him on his three previous outings. Here, Dave sounds up to date and even joyous. Great songs like "Happy To Be Here", "Leaving This Earth", "Even The Bad Times (Were Good Times)" and "AWOL" make this release worth owning. All 10 tracks fit together very nicely with minimal filler or waste. Dave tones down "Greetings From The Gutter"'s heavy r&b influence and blends it with electronica here for nice effect. I find it interesting that one year before reuniting with Annie Lennox for "Peace" that Dave Stewart was making some really great music that was absent from "Peace", which is perhaps why "Peace" didn't sell well in America among other things. If you are a fan of Dave's music or the Eurythmics, "Slyfi" is definitely worth owning.

Peripheral Nerve Disorders
Also called: Neuritis, Peripheral neuritis, Peripheral neuropathy
Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral nerve disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
There are more than 100 kinds of peripheral nerve disorders. They can affect one nerve or many nerves. Some are the result of other diseases, like diabetic nerve problems. Others, like Guillain-Barre syndrome, happen after a virus infection. Still others are from nerve compression, like carpal tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome. In some cases, like complex regional pain syndrome and brachial plexus injuries, the problem begins after an injury. Some people are born with peripheral nerve disorders.
Symptoms often start gradually, and then get worse. They include
- Numbness
- Pain
- Burning or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Sensitivity to touch
Treatment aims to treat any underlying problem, reduce pain and control symptoms.

Wobenzym sometimes life-saving, can be used during lactation.But it can be done only by prescription and under medical supervision, because the clinical trials of the drug on women who breastfeed, have not been conducted.
How does Wobenzym
Wobenzym - a drug which consists of enzymes of plant and animal origin.The drug is specifically made so that it could be absorbed into the bloodstream and has a general (systemic) effect on the body.For this Wobenzym tablet covered with a special membrane, which dissolves only in the intestine, bypassing the aggressive acidic environment of the stomach.
enzymes in the intestine are absorbed into the blood to bind with specific proteins that perform the function of transporting and gradually accumulate at the site of the pathological process.Here, they have anti-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, improve blood circulation, prevent blood clots and adjust immune function in accordance with the existing problems in the body.
Wobenzym in inflammatory processes in the mammary glands
during lactation in the mother may develop a variety of pathological processes.But most often occur during this period stagnation of milk in the mammary glands (lactostasis), against which later can be formed inflammatory processes - mastitis.
When lactostasis lactostasis - stagnation of milk in the breast overflows breast milk, swelling of tissue, blood vessels and squeezingpoor circulation.If associated infection (gateway to getting infections can be microscopic cracks on the nipple), it appears infiltrative inflammation, which treatment can be carried out with the conservative use of antibiotics Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future? .Then infiltration begins to disintegrate with the formation of a cavity filled with pus - it already requires surgical treatment.
Wobenzym indicated for all stages of the process.When he lactostasis remove tissue edema (due to reduced breast tenderness), improve blood circulation in the breast, which is the background of complex treatment can arrest the stagnation of milk and prevent the formation of mastitis.
During the first stage of mastitis (stage infiltration) Wobenzym will potentiate (enhance) the effect of antibiotics, reduces swelling and associated pain, improve blood circulation in the pathological focus and improve immunity.All this will contribute to the rapid resolution of the inflammatory process with the help of conservative therapy.
In the second stage of mastitis, when it formed a suppurative focus, Wobenzym breaks down and removes toxic products from the body tissue breakdown, which greatly improves the general condition of the woman.Under its influence decreases the inflammation, swelling, relieve pain, noted the rapid disappearance of the common symptoms of purulent intoxication (2-4 days), rapid termination of pus from the surgical wound and its healing.
Appointment of Wobenzym in this case is justified, as it promotes rapid recovery and reduce the dose and duration of antibiotics.
Wobenzym when the appointment during lactation is not justified
Wobenzym - a drug that is often prescribed for hormonal treatment of breast diseases - mastopathy.In this case, it is well relieves swelling of the tissues and "takes away" from the lesion different products of metabolism, promoting the resorption of small cysts in the breast.
But during lactation, such treatment is not a reason, it makes no sense, even if a woman has breast Mastopatia - mirror women's health .Take this occasion Wobenzym is not necessary - it increases the risk of side effects from the child, because clinical trials of Wobenzym on nursing mothers have not been conducted.They were not carried out on children.Therefore Wobenzym permitted use in children only after five years.
In what other cases Wobenzym can not be assigned to nursing mothers
Wobenzym can not appoint women hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, as well as when she disturbed clotting ability of blood, and there are signs of increased bleeding,tendency to bleeding.You can not assign Wobenzym as a woman during hemodialysis Hemodialysis: artificial kidney - blood purification using special equipment.
Wobenzym - the drug is toxic for health and it can be used during lactation.However, its use is to approach with caution, since it is not known exactly its impact on the child's body.In any case, Wobenzym used during lactation only on prescription.

A brief account of what went through a vampire's mind when he met a beautiful young woman 50 years after his death.
Qala is forced to make her first kill despite her reluctance. The beginnings of this meeting with a certain demon are captured here, with much more to come. Once again, constructive criticism is welcome!
Woohoo! Another post! Betcha all are happy, huh? :) This is another exercise I did with Kayla, like the one before, although this one isn't comic like that one was. The exercise was to ask your character what they wanted more than anything else, and what they'd do to get it. This is what Kayla wanted.
This is a perfect example of why authers shouldent be rushed. I know I can go back and change it...but...I'm not in love with this peice like i was when i first wrote and, and if i did go back and change it so that it all fit one tense i'd end up draining all of the emotion.
The concept is based upon a dream I had one night. A man tells of his encounter with a woman from the ocean. This won unofficial judge's choice in one contest. It also won 3rd place Judge's Choice in the Fantasy Contest at Elftown.
A poem I wrote when everyone seemed to want me to drop fantasy and write 'normal stuff'. This is my reply.
Uhh... well, actually, I wrote this one for an english essay we had to do. I found it lying underneath a pile of junk, and decided maybe I should continue on it. It isn't anywhere near what I would like it to be, though, so any criticism will be welcome (actually, they're absolutely NEEDED)...
I think this is one of the shortest stories I've written thus far. Loosely based on any sort of post-apocalyptic vision of the world found in numerous Japanese animation shows, 'In this Moment...' is really a short story about the conflict between hate and love and which one wins.
This is actually a poem I wrote, expressing my desire to sprout wings and fly. A desire I'm sure many other people have, or maybe it's just me, but anywhodillywho, here it is. Hope it's out there enough that no one get mad at me. ^_^;
An old love poem, I still like it although the characters have changed a bit since the time I wrote this.
Ansem of Cia, knight under the crown of Aveen and Captain of the Yellow Phoenixes of Kation, is content with his life of guarding the small town to which he was assigned. This mission was to be like any other: secretly transport an item of great power as quickly and as safely as possible. But fate has seen to other plans, and the once proud knight is forced into step down a tunnel of fate from which there is no return...
this is an even further stretch than the 'short poem'... I mean, as far as it fitting into the fantasy/sci-fi genre... but... whatever. I like it, and I want to share it. So there!
the pleasure of food - the desire to satisfy the hunger is always overwhelming
This was written under moonlight. Literally. I was supposed to be asleep then and so I didn't dare turn on any lights. Separated from a beloved friend by distance....
If you've played those paper role-playing games, you've heard of the Egg of Desire. You haven't?

Six 2010 Memphis Redbirds join winter league teams
MEMPHIS, TN – Although the Memphis Redbirds have wrapped up their season, baseball is far from gone. The Arizona Fall League and Caribbean League began in mid-October are underway.
Away in Arizona
The Arizona Fall League was founded in 1992 as a way for top minor leaguers to improve their skills and have the chance to perform in front of major and minor league baseball scouts and team executives. The AFL, owned and operated by Major League Baseball, begins in early October and concludes in mid-November. Instead of having a select affiliate for each AFL team, all Major League teams provide seven players who, combined, fill the 35-man roster of each team.
This year, both Adron Chambers and Tony Cruz were the sole Memphis Redbirds selected to participate in the AFL. While Chambers had the chance to make a bit of noise with the 'Birds, Cruz only appeared in four regular season games at the Triple-A level. Although he was relied upon during the Pacific Coast League play-offs, it wasn't until this past week when he caught some well deserved attention playing for the Surprise Rafters.
As of October 27th, Adron Chambers has gone 7-for-24 (.292 average) with four RBI, two walks and four strikeouts. Known for his speed, he has also collected a double and two stolen bases. Tony Cruz has compiled a .235 average (8Hx34AB) with three walks,eight strikeouts and five runs scored. Cruz's career day came during the October 20th game against the Peoria Saguaros where he went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI; it was the first time the Florida native had ever hit consecutive homers during a game. His 10 RBI rank second-highest amongst the Cardinals' prospects playing winter ball.
Cruisin' the Caribbean
The Caribbean League is made up of four nations, the Dominican Winter League, Mexican Pacific League, Puerto Rico Baseball League and the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League. It was the idea of Venezuelan Pablo Morales to create such a league that was established in 1949. Each league's season runs from October to December with a playoff series in January to determine league champions who go on to play in the Caribbean Series each year.
Currently, the Memphis Redbirds have four players from the 2010 roster partaking in the Caribbean League. Amaury Cazana is playing for the Tomateros de Culiacan which is part of the Mexican Pacific League. He has flourished during winter ball, appearing in 12 games while hitting .333 (16Hx48AB) with seven extra-base hits, eight runs scored and 13 RBI. Ruben Gotay joined the Puerto Rico Baseball League last week, playing for the Gigantes de Carolina. Going 2-for-13 in his four games, he has collected four walks and four strikeouts for a .507 on-base percentage. Oneli Perez is a reliever in the Dominican Winter League, pitching only one inning thus far as part of the Tigres del Licey with one walk. Rich Rundles joined the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League to play for the Tigres de Aragua. He has successfully fanned eight batters, issuing only one walk and three hits in six games to pitch 5.2 scoreless innings collectively.

Social Butterfly
With Halloween just three days away help us reach our "FOLLOW-EEN" goal of 4,000+ followers on Twitter and 2,000+ 'likes' on facebook before the ghoulish holiday hits! The Memphis Redbirds also have other Halloween fun to be had, with our pumpkin carving designs and costume contest. Send pictures of your pumpkin carving masterpieces to firstname.lastname@example.com to be featured on our blog and post your creative costumes to our facebook page for a chance to win a prize!
Winter baseball update
The Surprise Rafters had an exciting game last night, with our very own Tony Cruz hitting two home runs in a game for the first time in his career.
He went 2-for-4 with three runs and four RBI on the night and the Rafters went on to win 9-2 over the Peoria Saguaros. Here's a recap/box score of the game and an article about Cruz's performance!
On another note, there are many other players part of the Cardinals farm system that are also enjoying winter ball. Some are with the Surprise Rafters along with Tony Cruz and Adron Chambers, while others are spending the winter in Venezuela and Mexico. Here is list of individual statistics

Arizona Fall League
Although it's the beginning of our off-season here at AutoZone Park doesn't mean our players aren't already working hard to prepare for next year. Two Redbirds, Adron Chambers and Tony Cruz, have joined the Arizona Fall League playing for the Surprise Rafters. The team includes players from the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers farm systems.
Adron Chambers was the Cardinals' 38th round selection (1153rd overall) in the June 2007 First-Year Player Draft. Chambers joined the 'Birds mid-July this year, appearing in 37 games for a .290 average (20Hx69AB) with 11 runs, eight RBI, nine walks and 18 strikeouts. During a 16-inning game on August 16th, the Florida Native was hit in the jaw by a wild pitch from Sky Sox reliever Franklin Morales and was forced to leave the game. Painful as this was, Chambers recovered well and made his way back into the Memphis line up.
Tony Cruz was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 42nd round of the 2005 June free agent draft, but did not sign. He became a Cardinal after being selected in the 26th round (802nd overall) of the June 2007 free-agent draft. He, like Chambers, joined the Redbirds late in the 2010 season appearing in only four regular season games. Going 3-for-14 (.214 average) with two runs and one RBI, the career catcher hit his first Triple-A home run in his first game as a Memphis Redbirds on September 1st.
Here's a look at yesterday's game recapitulation, where both Chambers and Cruz collected a hit.
We will be keeping tabs on these 'Birds and updating the blog to let all of you know just how well they do, so continue to check Chirp Chatter for updates on your Memphis Redbirds while they endure winter ball!!

Player Spotlight: Relief Pitcher and Mr. Funny Man, Andrew Brown
A little background information on Andrew Brown before the interview portion begins. This year, he joins the Memphis Redbirds in his 12th season of baseball. Brown was originally drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the sixth round of the 1999 Major League Baseball Draft. He's pitched for not only the Braves organization but also for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Sand Diego Padres, Cleveland Indians, Oakland Athletics and Washington Nationals organizations.
He made his first big league appearance August 13th, 2006 with the Cleveland Indians. Brown pitched nine games with the Indians that season, finishing with a 3.60 ERA allowing four runs on six hits in 10 innings of work.
He was traded to the Oakland Athletics the next season and eventually made his way back to the majors appearing in 33 games tacking on his first big league win August 1st against the Detroit Tigers. He also pitched in 33 games for the A's during the 2008 season. His major league totals are as follows: 73 games, four wins, 86.2 innings pitched, 38 runs on 67 hits with 46 walks and 78 strikeouts for a 3.84 ERA.
Enough with all the statistics and baseball talk…I think it's time for you to get to know a little bit more about the relief pitcher who sports the number 51 for your Memphis Redbirds.
Full Name: Andrew Aaron Brown
Nicknames: Brownie and in high school, Doodoo Brown
Hometown:Orange City, FL
Favorite baseball player of all time: The guys on the team would say Stephen Strasburg but I'd have to say I was a big Wade Boggs fan growing up.
What team did you watch growing up? The Boston Red Sox
If you weren't in baseball, what would you be doing? I'd probably be a pastor…or doing plus size modeling as a pastor.
Most embarrassing moment while playing baseball: Long story short, I was trying to play a joke on a guy and throw a baseball into the stands to kind of scare him by having it hit the seats close to him. It was a guy I used to play with but unfortunately it smoked him right in the neck from about 120 ft. away…it was pretty embarrassing.
What is your best moment on the diamond? First win ever was pretty
cool, that was against the Detroit Tigers…I also struck out A-Rod once.
What is your favorite off-day activity? Hanging out with the family. Hanging out with the little one and the wife doing something fun.
What is the most difficult part about playing professional baseball? The mental grind, especially as a reliever because you could pitch any day. Just having to go out and be successful and dealing with not being successful because in your own mind you're supposed to do well every time so if it doesn't go well it's hard to get over and if you do well, it's not really satisfying because you were expected to do well.
If you were a kid would you rather be the one in Rookie of the Year, Angels in the Outfield or Little Big League? Rookie of the Year
Where do you see yourself in 25 years? Hopefully with a house full of kids and just spending a lot of time with my family and doing my best to raise them right.
If you were on a reality TV show, which one would it be and why? Either the Biggest Loser or Celebrity Fit Club
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a Fighter Pilot for the Air Force. I'm kind of infatuated with planes, used to have simulators for my computer and stuff like that but I think at some point I grew too large to fit in the cockpit. (He's 6'6)
Favorite food: Sushi, Jeremy Piven and I have mercury poison from all the sushi we eat.
Favorite TV Show: Currently, my favorite show is anything that has to do with the NFL. Anything on the NFL channel or ESPN (pronounced as a word, not as individual letters)
I'm afraid…that I won't represent Jesus Christ the way I should.
Tell us one thing about you the fans don't already know: I was home schooled from the fourth grade on. And I took my sister to prom…too much? That was a joke people.
Who is your greatest influence? My parents.
Do you have any autographs? I've been in pro ball for twelve years and I've only asked for three people's autographs. I've asked for Frank Thomas, Mike Piazza and Stephen Strasburg's. I've caught a lot of flack for the Stasburg one since he is younger than me, but he's a good dude and he's going to be pretty good some day.
Newest Hobby: Cycling and I'm pretty excited about my new bib shorts.
(These are the bib shorts he is referring to and no, this is not actually Andrew Brown)
What do you like best about the city of Memphis? I like the weather, people seem nice and the food it good.
Any broken bone stories? Just a broken heart (that part he sang)…no but seriously, no broken bones. I did break some teeth in high school on a bad hop on a ground ball and I had braces at the time. The teeth broke, stuck to the braces and my lip was embedded in the braces. But we won the game, so it was all good.
Describe yourself in five words or less: Chill, goofy, responsible, shnuggly (that's for you honey!) and Christian.

What do you like best about the city of Memphis? The history
Any broken bone stories? I have a broken collar bone right now…it was a play over second base, me and Tyler Greene were both going after it. I dove and he slid, his knee hit me in the shoulder and I broke my collar bone.

More Catcher Clues!!
Good news, I have more clues from the Memphis Redbirds catcher! Hopefully we'll be able to figure out exactly what classroom Kevin is headed to.
The catcher was told he might learn a little about Canada and Mexico in the classroom he is visiting since it is what the students are currently learning. This seems so interesting to him and he's packed his pencil and notebook for the trip to take notes if he needs to.
He also found out there is one student in the class who loves the New York Yankees, Kevin plans on asking the student why he likes them so much. And hopes he is still a Memphis Redbirds fan also. This would make Kevin very happy.
He is more than excited to meet these 17 students this week and cannot wait to read Junie B. Jones books and talk about the best baseball team around.
Now with these clues I need everyone's help to find out exactly where Kevin the Catcher will be this week. Can you figure it out? Check
back on Thursday for the answer!
Jordan. Out.
Where to next?
The Memphis Redbirds infamous catcher is on the loose once again. What is he up to now, you ask? I'm not quite sure, but these are the clues I've gathered to help us figure out the mystery location.
Kevin the Catcher is going to an elementary school next week. He heard the class he is going to see likes Junie B. Jones books just like he does! He is still quite frightened to visit because of the Lions they say roam the hallways, but is very excited to know the teacher loves the St. Louis Cardinals and the class is full of Memphis Redbirds fans!
Check back again in a few days for more clues on our catcher's whereabouts. Hopefully we can figure out where he'll be before he gets there! Until then…
Jordan. Out.
Wanted: Memphis Redbirds Catcher, #47
He took all of our ticket vouchers!!
If you see the Memphis Redbirds catcher- please let us know. He's been hiding on the outskirts of the ballpark and was last seen in the elevator on his way out of AutoZone Park late Monday afternoon with buy one get one ticket vouchers in his glove. These are the photos we've received of where he's been spotted around downtown:
We have a lead that #47 will be at the St. Patrick's Day parade on Beale Street this Saturday, March 13th and is said to have an entourage with him including nine Redbird Redhots and Rockey. We urge you to act with excitement if around the catcher and approach him for one of the ticket vouchers he has taken from the Memphis Redbirds. All you have to ask #47 is, "have you caught the baseball fever?"
Anyone who finds this catcher and is able to get a good photo of him, please e-mail them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. It is crucial that we get a hold of this Memphis Redbird in order to bring you fans great promotions and more ticket voucher deals!

When automakers want to drop the hint about their new car, they usually provide teaser photos to the public, where a tiny section of the vehicle is photographed so as to only give away a glimpse of it. You know the kind- they're usually a close up shot of the grille, or a headlight. I'll go out on the record and say I'm not the biggest fan of those (or maybe my imagination is just lacking!)
Need an example? Here you go:
In other cases, automakers might leak so-called "spy shots" where the vehicle is seen outside during a road test while covered up with protective material.
Toyota could have certainly gone with either option in previewing the new 2014 4Runner, but they decided to mix it up a bit in hyping us for their next SUV. In addition to the teaser photos, they also made an infographic! I like the idea- get us excited for something new by highlighting the vehicle's past achievements.
What do we know so far about the new 4Runner? The 2014 version will be a face lift of the fifth generation mid-size Toyota SUV. It will feature more aggressive looking front headlights and tail lamps, going with Toyota's recent trend of giving their vehicles a more sleek and stylish appearance (just take a look at the redesigned Avalon for further proof).
The official reveal of the 4Runner happens at the StageCoach Music Festival in Indio, California, which will coincidentally be the first-ever major vehicle reveal at a large concert!

It seems like weeks since I've posted anything about my actual writing. I promise I'm writing. Swear to God. Except when I'm not. When I'm not, then you can be sure I'm blogging, coming up with crappy novel starts, cleaning up dog poop, and/or reading (MAGIC BITES, right now).
Oh, and googling. Today our topic is the highs and lows of self-googling.
Let's start with the lows. A few days ago I told you about our day at Bumbershoot. In that post I mentioned that a band called Alabaster "sucked dog dicks so hard." Now, admittedly this was pretty harsh criticism for a band that I wouldn't have liked simply due to the style of music, but take into account that the Exhibition Hall has acoustics for shit, and I probably owe an apology to Jennifer and her pals.
Did you see that?
Oh yeah, Jennifer's a self-googler like yours truly--she left a really polite comment, despite my ugly words. The danger is in finding stuff you don't really want to see. Now, I expect my fair share of bad reviews on HAPPY HOUR; I'd be foolish to expect everyone to enjoy my flesh-eating heroine. What I wouldn't be expecting is someone's snap judgment.
Thanks Jennifer. Thanks for the lesson. You guys keep rockin'!
Now for the highs. A couple of days ago, I self-googled and found two different livejournals that were so enthusiastic about HAPPY HOUR that I nearly asphyxiated on Diet Coke. Both had my cover displayed and seemed to be counting down the days to the release. Can you believe that shit. I love them.
Which brings me back to writing. I heard back from my editor on ROAD TRIP OF THE LIVING DEAD; it got the go ahead based on the outline. So I'm gonna push that one out like some kidney stones and try to get my secrect project into a readable state. I'm really excited about this one. I'm calling it DARK RITES; it's another urban fantasy comedy, only with more sex and celebrities!

At Byrdie HQ, it's our MO to celebrate beauty from every corner of the world. The beauty customs of different cultures are so unique and steeped in history, and by learning about them, we're able to expand our own perspectives (not to mention pick up a life-changing new tip or two). That's why we're proclaiming this week Global Beauty Week and paying special homage to women far and wide, from Thailand to Russia and beyond. Each day, we'll honour the beauty practices, trends, and traditions of our sisters around the globe—complex, intriguing, and versatile as they are. Enjoy!
As a former Birchbox employee who starred in many a beauty tutorial for its website, Deepica Mutyala had the revelation that she should create her very own YouTube channel where she could share the many lessons and tips she'd learned throughout her lifetime. Fast-forward to a mere two videos later, and the newly minted vlogger had already gone viral (we're talking over nine million views) with a video that's still garnering traffic and buzz (more on that later). Needless to say, the girl's got some tips worth knowing, especially when it comes to Indian women and South Asian beauty. Mutyala took some time from her busy schedule to share those tips with you, dear Byrdie readers, so keep scrolling to find out what they are!
Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow ($42)
"You know that feeling you get after getting your eyebrows threaded (yes, I said 'threaded,' because let's be real—we South Asians love us some threading)? You look in the mirror and think, This completely changed my face. That's the same effect that filling in your brows has! I'm telling you, it's one of those things you won't be able to live without once you start doing it. You'll notice your entire face looks like a little more put together!
"I don't always use a brow pencil—sometimes after doing my eye shadow, I take one of the shadows and start filling in my brows. It really takes the brows to another level. An important tip to know is that you shouldn't fill in your brows with a colour that's the same as your hair—which in most Indian women's case is black. It will look extremely harsh and overdone. Do a shade lighter that's almost closer to your skin colour rather than your hair. I usually use a dark brown shadow, but if you're ever in doubt, the Universal Brow Pencil from It Cosmetics ($38) is great and works on all skin tones."
Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 ($12)
"I will be the first to admit that I was a latecomer to the SPF train and am so ashamed to say so because I now can't emphasise the importance of wearing sunscreen enough! It protects your skin from being damaged by UV rays and prevents long-term skin effects like wrinkles. I'm telling you that your 70-year-old self will thank you if you start applying SPF now. Your makeup is only as good as your skincare! If you don't take care of your skin first, your canvas won't be ready for painting.
"Growing up, my skin never 'burned' or turned red, but I always applied it because I didn't want to get dark, which of course, in the Indian culture, isn't thought to be attractive. It's funny how things change, because I now love the way my skin looks when it's sun-kissed and think tan skin is beautiful, and I love seeing Indian women who are darker than me embrace their skin color as well. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is the MOST important factor in feeling beautiful, and that comes from embracing who you are—fair skinned or not."
Nyx Professional Make-Up - Slide On Pencil ($11)
"South Asian women tend to wear extremely heavy eyeliner—I was guilty of this too, but it's because of how we were raised. Bollywood actresses dating back to the '60s and beyond have worn thick 'kajal.' I remember my mom used to apply it on me even in my baby pictures! I think we think that our eyes look dull without it, but the real trick to making your eyes look awake is good mascara and brightening concealer under the eyes. I love using a brown pencil liner on my lower lash line for a more day-to-day natural look. It draws attention to your eyes without looking too harsh.
"Most Indian women tend to have larger eyes; however, if you have smaller eyes, stop the eyeliner halfway—by taking it all the way to the corner of your eye, it'll close your eyes in rather than open them up. Also, using a nude or white eyeliner in the waterline of your eye helps them pop if you do happen to have smaller eyes. I even do this some days when I look super tired to appear more awake."
Nars Audacious Lipstick in Barbara ($49)
"In terms of finding the right nude lipstick, it really is a trial-and-error process, but what I do want Indian women to know is that we CAN rock a good nude! My friends always tell me they are intimidated and think it makes their face look dull because it's too chalky—however, I found that rose-tinted lip colours are a safe way to go and work well with our skin tones."
Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Matte Red Lipstick ($49)
"I think if you took a poll and asked South Asian women what their number one beauty concern is, they would say discoloration of their skin, and probably 90% of those women would say specifically dark circles—I fall into this statistic! For years, I would put on concealers and foundations hoping to hide them, but even with the heaviest products, I had issues. That's when I started to experiment with colour correcting. I know it can sound scary, but it's really simple if you think about it! Just look at a color wheel and see what shades are opposite each other and apply that to your face. The green colours under your eyes counteract with an orangey red colour-corrector. Similarly, redness on your skin can be colour-corrected with a green color. By applying colour correction to your makeup regimen, you'll notice an immediate change in the way your skin looks. I especially see it on video and in pictures!
"When I used red lipstick under my eyes to mask dark circles a year ago, I had no idea how fascinated the world would be! [Ed note: It's the viral video that's paved the way for countless media opportunities for the vlogger.] It was a trick I had used for years. Now, there are so many brands launching actual colour correctors that are meant to be used under the eyes that I've fallen in love with, but a girl always needs to have a good beauty hack in her back pocket!"
Simply Organic Turmeric Root ( $9 ) ($7)
"South Asian rituals are some of the biggest trends in beauty right now. Remember all those home remedies we saw our mom cooking up in the kitchen? Coconut oil slathered ALL over her hair, turmeric masks on her face, or that time she said we would regret getting our hairy eyebrows thinned out and we thought she was insane, right? Well—lesson learned, because as usual, Mom always knows best. Sometimes there isn't a need to go buy a fancy new product when you can create something you've seen made at home your whole life."

Filmmaker Casey Neistat has taken advantage of the snow currently covering New York by snowboarding through the city streets while being towed by a Jeep.
A short video of the snowboarding expedition was uploaded to Neistat's hugely popular YouTube channel on 24 January, and by the end of the day had already been viewed over 1 million times.
Taking in typical New York sights like Central Park and Times Square, the snow-covered streets are completely abandoned, making conditions perfect for the viral video.
Zipping around the city in a red outfit and sunglasses (and occasionally carrying an American flag), Neistat manages to take jumps and make corners as bystanders cheer him on.
Neistat has snowboarded all over the world, but told the New York Times that the urban conditions of snowy New York were "on par" with the best he's ever experienced.
"When you're out West you've got trees to avoid and you've got rocks to jump off of," he said.
"Here, you have snow plows to avoid and snowbanks and sports cars to jump off of," he told the paper.
A second 'making of' YouTube video shows what it was like to make the original - the team who worked on it had to scramble to film after city officials announced a total ban on all driving would come in at 2:30PM on 23 January.
They managed to get started before the ban but continued even after it went into effect. The video ends with the team being pulled over by police, who appear to be happy to let them continue.
One officer, whose face is not shown, tells Neistat: "Someone complained about you, so we're just going to act like we're talking to you."
"You guys are awesome," Neistat replies.
New York City saw the second highest snowfall since records began in 1869 over the weekend, but the worst has passed - the travel ban was lifted the day after it went into effect, and New Yorkers have now begun the arduous task of clearing the snow that is still blocking the streets.
