The Seattle Mariners made several moves this off-season which have resulted in a change (at least for the 2013 season) in the face of the big league club. Some have panned the moves, and some outlets have even raised the seemingly silly question, "Is this the move that costs Jack Zduriencik his job?" with one widely debated move. Taking a step back from the ledge, SeattleClubhouse gets down to the basics of what this front office has been doing for the past four-plus years: building the organization from the ground up on the strength of the farm system.
It's no stroke of luck that all of the moves so far this season were made without sacrificing any of the talent in the minor leagues. The Mariners front office believes in their minor league system. They believe they are doing things the right way. Their drafts under Zduriencik -- and more directly, Tom McNamara -- have been irrefutable successes, and the system that ranked in the lower quarter of MLB franchises in terms of talent when they took over is now a consensus top five organization. The 2013 team, to me, looks stronger than the 2012 team did. Some of that is definitely the manner in which they've added this winter, but a bigger part gets back to that player development -- the maturation of the young kids.
SeattleClubhouse has had a number of sit downs, phone calls, one-on-one's and general conversations with several members of the front office and player development teams over the past few weeks, and what they have said about their approach to the cultivation of their prospects speaks to the "how" of what they have done on that front.
First some of the quotes from General Manager Jack Zduriencik:"I was brought here for my skill set -– building an organization and bringing in players and trying to get this thing going. Player development and scouting has been what I've done. You stay true to who you are."
This is something that I think the fans sometimes forget. The Mariners hired Zduriencik based on his strengths. They had a very weak system at the time of his hiring and he has definitely turned that around. And although he has built the overall talent level as well as the depth up considerably, he still is approaching things the right way.
The Mariners tried to land one big free agent (the Josh Hamilton play, which Jack was referring to in the quote above) and they tried to land one big bat via trade (the Justin Upton deal which was shot down by his no-trade rights). But the thing that should give fans solace is that Zduriencik didn't make a costly reactionary move that sacrificed the future when either of those deals failed to come to fruition. He stayed in line with the plan of developing from within."You always keep the organization's best interests at heart and I'm going to do that. [I'm not going to] do something that is not in the best interest of this city, this organization, this fan base, despite the fact that there might be some people that wish I did it yesterday."
"We're committed to staying the course with these kids and trying to build," he said. "I've had several scenarios where I could give up two or three of these players, but what has to be weighed is the return you're getting, the years of control for what you're giving up."
Building a system more or less from scratch into a legitimate pipeline for the big league club takes time. Baseball prospects take time to develop into big league players; it isn't like the other sports where instant gratification from the draft is commonplace."We can't get -- unless you're enormously blessed -- a [Russell] Wilson to come in here like the Seahawks and be our starting center fielder the year after the draft. It just doesn't happen in baseball."
That being said, there are a handful of big leaguers from drafts since Zduriencik took over who are already making an impact on the big league roster: most notably Dustin Ackley, Kyle Seager, Carter Capps and Stephen Pryor. And there is a lot more talent on the horizon, particularly on the pitching side, but the strength of the system as a whole is impressive. And Zduriencik sees that and understands that it can be special. He should know, as he witnessed it play out that way first hand in Milwaukee, where he played a huge role in their rebuild."You've had three drafts with a chance to get guys to the big leagues. What we're going to see in the future -- in '13, '14, '15, '16 and '17 -- these kids are all going to start to matriculate to the big-league level. I think it's going to be fun. As the excitement builds, and we're able to do another free agent deal like we tried to do this year, it will be more successful in the future." "I don't think you can take our upper level pitching, between Double-A and Triple-A, and the young kids at the big league level, and say anybody [else] in baseball has that right now."
"A periodical recently had us rated No. 2 in the strength of the minor league talent. Some information came out...rating Taijuan Walker and Danny Hultzen as the one and two right-handed and left-handed pitchers in baseball, [James] Paxton the fifth left-handed pitcher in baseball, prospect wise. [Mike] Zunino the No. 2 catcher in baseball; there are some really nice things happening with our young kids. And, again, we're very young at the big-league level."
Those quotes from Zduriencik are echoed throughout the organization. Player development is being taken very seriously with this front office. And the man who is entering his second season with the club heading up that wing of the organization in Chris Gwynn. Gwynn has spoken with me a number of times over the past 13 months and he is always a great source of information on the prospects throughout the minor leagues for Seattle.
On prospect lists (i.e., MLB.com, Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus, maybe even SeattleClubhouse, etc.):"We look at it. I read it. But that doesn't alter or view on guys or stop what we're trying to do. We are happy that everyone likes our players, but until our players are competing and contributing at the big league level, our job isn't through."
On the Mariners internal "rankings" and depth charts:"There is a little bit of the structure to it because of levels and assignments and such. I try to look at them though in the sense of what type of player they are going to be down the road, not necessarily what they are now. For instance, if you've got a kid with plus speed and he's swinging, trying to hit home runs in batting practice then we try and get to him and help him understand the type of player that we envision him becoming and the type of skills that will play for him in that role down the road."
On Julio Morban and his add to the 40-man roster:"He's one of the guys that has exhibited power, the ability to hit, the ability to defend – he's an all-around player. So it is a bit of a reward putting him on the 40, but also – you never know what is going to happen if he isn't protected. Yes, he's only 20, but you never know. And now he's going to be in big league camp with the rest of those guys -- the men. And he is one of the more talented players in the system, definitely."
On the approach and reasoning to the Non-Roster invitees/general Spring Training depth:"As a team you want to bring in the depth that you need, but if you're one of the kids, you want to get that NRI. If we can fill that position from within, that's great. And by bringing them in as NRIs, you let those kids know –- and other kids in the organization know –- that we're watching. We're paying attention. And that's a motivator. I can't wait to see what those kids do in camp. To have all of these kids in big league camp that are home grown...I think that sends an incredible message to all of the players in the organization. That [being added] means you've been identified, but you have to continue developing. One guy could be just plate discipline away from taking off."
On Brandon Maurer's breakout:"He has a lot of talent, first of all. Fastball, curveball, slider, change -– all above average. He didn't understand that he needed to use that fastball to both sides of the plate and then that will set up his other stuff better. We know the fastball is good, but hitters adjust -– you need to use both sides of the plate so that then you can come back and backdoor a slider or something. Once he understood that he could use both sides of the plate and that will open up the breaking pitches, he took off. Took off. The league was hitting well over .300 when I went down there in May and I looked at him and said, 'no way.' His stuff was too good. So I...well, I'm not going to take the credit -- Lance Painter, Rick Waits and I -- talked with him and just said, 'Location.' And you look at where he went from there to the point when we shut him down, so for three months they were hitting like .190. Instruction is what is key and you have to have good instructors so that the kids understand what they need to go to. And that's what can happen when a kid finally just figures it all out."
On Andrew Carraway:"I'm obviously a Carraway fan, but I asked him, 'I just want to know how you do it.' He talked about being a self-made guy. He knows he doesn't throw mid-90s so he just constantly reinvents himself. We sit down with every guy, and he is a guy that we say, "Just keep doing what you're doing."
On getting a struggling prospect (like Vinnie Catricala in 2012) back on track:"A lot of times you take a step back and take a look at what they did to get to where they were. So we go back and look at those films and try and see what they were doing right and then compare to what they're doing now. And we tell them, this isn't going to be easy, some stuff may seem foreign and some stuff you may not agree with, but we're going to get you right. Trust us. It isn't something that hasn't been done before. He had a pretty good Fall League so I'm interested to see what he got out of that -- interested to see what he can do this year."
On Danny Hultzen and Nick Franklin and the challenge of Triple-A:"I knew, personally, that they were both going to struggle at some point [in Tacoma]. But I felt that they were doing so well -- Danny had only allowed 38 hits in 75 [and 1/3] innings. It was like he was pitching against little leaguers. He needed a challenge, and Nick, too. But with Danny, it was his first full year, people seem to forget that. And you look at the season as a whole; I think he did really well. He's going to add on from the knowledge that he got in Triple-A when he struggled. There are only a few guys that I know of that never had to go through those struggles. And in some ways I think those struggles [in the minors] are good. Because when you get to the big leagues you are going to have to know how to make adjustments. There are better pitchers and better hitters and you have to be able to adjust."
On "dominating your level" and what Mike Zunino has left to prove:"Offensively, I'd say, you can always be better. There are always benefits. He's not going to see the same pitchers, just because of the time of year. Not taking anything away from him, because he was very good, but even we had a lot of our guys moved up by that point in the season. He won't have that same staff, so he'll have to think things through mentally from the defensive side, maybe doing things a little different way as a catcher to get his team through. So there are definitely still things that he can benefit from in the minor leagues. His leadership skills are through the roof and he's just a great kid, and there could be some benefits of having him just down the road [in Tacoma], but I honestly don't know where he's going to be to start the year at this point."
On changes/improvements in the system since he came aboard:"The renovations in Peoria and the Dominican -- that is going to be huge for player development. We won 496 games last year, had a .550 winning percentage -- which I think is another example of working to get our players better, understanding themselves and their roles and then it snowballed in a good way. The coaches and managers did an outstanding job. And you start playing the right way, things work. We had a five-year low in strikeouts, which is one of the things that we consciously worked on. Implemented a new routine in batting practice to have guys zero in on balls for contact, making sure it is strikes they are swinging at. So in 2012 we had a five year low in Ks and a five year high in runs scored."
Continuing on pitch selection, "selective aggression" and plate discipline (where Gwynn and I see 100% eye to eye):"When I came in we were between 500-600 Ks above average for an organization. We went to work on getting the kids to understand what pitches they hit best and how to get the pitcher to throw that pitch. And that doesn't mean just taking pitches to take pitches. If that first pitch is your best pitch, the pitch you want to hit in your spot, swing at it. Hit it. Walks are earned more through aggression than they are through patience. Once you show the pitcher that you swing at strikes, they're going to try and get you out with pitches that look like strikes but end up being balls. Once you show that you won't chase those pitches, you're going to get more strikes to hit and, in turn, as you hit better, you're going to earn more walks out of respect and out of working through a team's bullpen as you extend games by racking up hits and moving through more pitchers, and at times, lower quality pitchers. It becomes a culture that can permeate through a whole team -- a whole organization. So you're right, walks are earned because you can hit. If you can hit, they'll just pound the strike zone because they don't have anything to worry about."
On where the 16-year-old pitching phenom Luiz Gohara may play in 2013:"We just have to make sure that he is supported as a person. If that means an interpreter, or whatever...but we want to make sure he is comfortable, assimilated, comfortable around all the guys and that he is supported. But we aren't going to hold him back. His stuff is absolutely ahead of his age, there's no doubt about that. If we feel that he is ready for the Northwest League both physically and mentally, then he will go there. If we feel he's better suited to stay in Arizona -- with a little bit more built-in support all around -- then that's where he'll be. He's an interesting guy, because you look at him and you just now it's going to be really good -- it's good now -- but you know it's going to be really good when he's about 19 or 20."
Another vital member of the M's front office is Assistant General Manager Jeff Kingston, who has worked in a number of front offices with a strong role in Player Development. Kingston is credited with being a key player in both of Felix Hernandez's extensions and is overseeing the development of the new academy in the Dominican for the M's. The M's said of Kingston when introducing him that he wore "a number of hats" for the club because of his involvement in the stadium renovations in Seattle, Peoria and the academy in the Dominican. Jeff spoke with me about the foreign rookie leagues and more.
On judging the talent in the Venezuelan League, where political strife has led to all but four teams pulling out of the league:"The quality of play has certainly suffered because you're only playing three other clubs all the time and things can get redundant. A lot of club's are sending their better talent to the Dominican. I think it certainly hurts development to a degree, but it's hard to get a handle on just how much, year to year. You get better by playing better competition, for sure."
On guys like Jesus Ugueto and spending multiple seasons in foreign rookie ball:"I think with Chris [Gwynn] here and this staff, I don't think that you'll see a guy like Ugueto down in Venezuela for four years. There comes a time when you have to push guys along, at least see what they can do at the more challenging levels. You never want to hold anyone back for four years if you think they're a true prospect because then they're in their 20s by the time they come to the states and they've still got five or six levels to climb. So I think you'll see us be a little bit more aggressive when we can. It's a case by case scenario, and you saw this year with Victor Sanchez being pushed all the way to the Northwest League where he was an All-Star, but pitchers it is a little bit easier to move them up. In reality, if we can't determine within a year or two if they're a prospect or not down there, it's probably time for us to move on."
On the new facility and what is more important in being able to land the top talent: the right facilities or the right people running those facilities and cultivating the relationships with the prospects:"That's a really good question. And I imagine that different organizations have different philosophies on that. As far as it pertains to Venezuela, we feel that it is a big advantage for us to have that presence there and for the kids to see that we're invested there and they can relate and identify. That is an important part, but I really think that your people on the ground are the most important part. Us signing Felix [Hernandez] -- Emilio Carrasquel and those guys got to know him at a very young age and that relationship became, probably, the number one determinant in him signing with Seattle. So your people on the ground are vitally important. Someone asked me earlier if I thought that us signing Felix helped us in landing other guys, and I think that yes, absolutely it does. Getting back to [Victor] Sanchez again, Felix is his idol and he tries to emulate him. So obviously us having him and having built that relationship is a huge aid in our negotiations with certain guys."
On breaking in international signings stateside and structuring the rosters at the lower levels:"In the past we've had it set up so that Pulaski has a big contingent of Latin players there, the coaching staff has a definite Latin feel to it and we try and keep some of those guys together. And that really helps. I think that is one of the hardest things for the kids when they come over is to assimilate them to the culture. We try and get them in a situation where they can succeed -- and level of competition is certainly a part of it, too -- but we try to find good fits for them culturally, too. Venezuela and the Dominican, we try and keep the kids close to home and we rarely send any Dominican players to Venezuela although sometimes they do go the other way. Kids from Nicaragua, Panama and those other countries, it kind of depends on the level and how they fit those rosters."

Why make documents accessible?
Making accessible documents ensures that they are usable by the widest range of users, but also ensures your document is easier to edit and navigate. It is important to make these changes to Word documents to accommodate a variety of disabilities. For example, many people with visual disabilities use screen readers which read aloud information on the screen such as text or image descriptions provided through alternative text (Alt Text).
If you plan, format, and structure your document correctly in the beginning, it will ensure the file is not only accessible but can also be converted into a variety of different alternate formats (e.g. PDF or braille) while retaining its accessibility features.
- As of January 1, 2013, Ontario Regulation 191/11, section 15: requirement to provide educational or training resources or materials in an accessible format, if notification of need is given.
- If posting document online - By January 1, 2014, Ontario Regulation 191/11, section 14: new internet websites and web content on those sites must conform with WCAG 2.0 Level A.
- As of January 1, 2015, Ontario Regulation 191/11, section 12: requirement to provide, upon request, accessible formats and communication supports.
Appropriate Use of Colour
When using colour, you must make sure that any information conveyed with colour is also conveyed in black and white. For example, if you're using colour to identify key words in a document, make sure that you also make them stand out in another way (for example, by putting them in bold; italics are not recommended).
Colour Contrast
You must provide high colour contrast to the text in your document. A good example of high colour contrast is black and white; while an example of poor colour contrast is light yellow and white.
WebAIM - Color Contrast Checker
Styles are formatting instructions automatically programmed into Word. Styles are used in lieu of the buttons on the toolbar (for example, the "Bold" button, or the "Bullets" button). Use them to create:
- Titles (using the "Title" style)
- Headings (using one of nine "Heading" styles)
- Subtitles (using the "Subtitle" style)
- Bulleted Lists (using one of five different "List Bullet" styles)
- Numbered Lists (using one of five different "List Number" styles)
- Words in italics (using the "Emphasis" style)
- Words in bold (using the "Strong" style)
- Underlined words (using the "Subtle Reference" style)
To use a style in Microsoft Word 2010 and 2013
- Click on "Home" in the ribbon toolbar. The fourth box from the left in the home ribbon is the "Style" box.
- Before typing in any text, select the style you would like to use.
- For example, click on "Title" if you wish to create a title. Type in your title. Press enter, and your text will revert to the "Normal" (default) style. From here, you can continue using the appropriate styles. For instance, you could start writing your text in the "Normal" style, or you may want to create a heading. To create a heading, click on a "Heading" style, and then input your text.
- To see a list of more styles, click the expansion arrow at the bottom right corner of the "Styles" box. Go to Options in the bottom right corner, and in the new window which pops up, select "All styles" in the first drop down menu. Select OK and the "Styles" window will now show many more styles.
To modify a style in Microsoft Word 2010 and 2013
- Right Click on the icon of the particular style in the menu.
- Select "Modify". A new window will open.
- Click "Format" (found in the bottom left corner of the window).
- In the pop-up menu, select the change you wish to make. For example, if you wish to change the written text, select "Font".
- Changes which are made to one style will appear throughout the document where that particular style is used.
Headings are a type of Style which makes it easier for various adaptive technologies to navigate a document. Many people do not create Headings correctly, either making font sizes bigger or in bold rather than using the formats already provided by Word. By using Headings, you are creating a real structure in your document which will be correctly read by assistive technology and will make the page more usable for everyone. In Microsoft Word, there are several different styles of Headings to choose from. See the instructions on how to use/modify Styles to learn how to incorporate Headings into your text.
Alternative Text
Any pictures, graphs or text boxes within a document must be given alternative text. Alternative text must give an accurate description of what the item is, so that the user's assistive technology may convey what information is demonstrated by the item. It is a best practice to avoid WordArt and text boxes as they may be inaccessible by screen readers.
When entering alternate text you will notice there is a Title and Description field. The Title field is used to enter text that when read to someone using a screen reader, it allows the user to decide whether to listen to the text provided by the Description. However, it is generally recommended that the main ALT text should be put into the Description field.
Word 2013
- Select the image and right click inside the image. A menu will appear.
- Select "Format Picture.
- In the Format Picture window, select the Size and Properties tab on the right and select "ALT TEXT".
- Then insert the ALT Text into the Description field, NOT the Title field. Click the Close icon.
Word 2010
- Select the image and right click inside the image. A menu will appear.
- Select "Format Picture. A new window will pop up.
- Select "Alt Text" at the bottom left corner of the window.
- Type the description in the area provided.
How to Create Good Alternate Text
- Consider the content and function of your image.
- If it provides content to your document, make sure that the information the image provides is described in the alt text.
- If your image only provides a function (for example, providing a portrait of a historical figure described in the text) you need only describe the image. In the case that the image is of a historical figure, write his/her name as the alt text.
- Try not to use "Image of..." or "Graphic of..." as alt text. That is usually evident to the person reading the alt text.
- Do not repeat the information which is contained in the document itself into the alt text. If it's already in the document, that should be enough.
Wrapping Style of Non-Text Elements
To ensure the accessibility of non-text elements, the "wrapping style" should be set as "In line with text".
- Select the image/text box and right click inside the image. A menu will appear.
- Select "Wrap Text".
- Select "In line with text"
Use the Microsoft Word® tool to create columns. If you create columns using spaces and tabs, it will not be recognized as a column by assistive technology.
Inserting Columns in Microsoft Word 2010 and 2013
- Click on "Page Layout" in the toolbar. The second box from the left in the ribbon is the "Page Setup" box.
- Click on "Columns" inside the box.
- Select the number of columns you want and click OK.
Use the Microsoft Word® tool to create tables. If you use the "Draw Table" tool, it will be difficult for your table to be read by assistive learning technology.
Inserting a Table in Microsoft Word 2010 and 2013
- Click on "Insert" in the toolbar. The second box from the left in the ribbon is the "Tables" box.
- Select the table button.
- Select the number of columns and rows you want and click OK.
Table Headings

- Go to the Design tab at the top of the page.
- Check the Header Row check box.
- Type (or retype) your column headings.
- Press the Enter key.
Inserting Table Heading Rows in Microsoft Word 2010
The table should include a Heading Row, which consists of text included at the top of the table which helps interpret the data. If a table is longer than a page, Heading Rows must be repeated at the top of the table on each of the following pages.
To repeat the header row when a table spans more than one page:
- Select and right click on the first row of the table. A menu will appear.
- Click on "Table Properties" and select the "Row" tab.
- Check the option which reads "Repeat as header row at the top of each page".
- Click OK.
To link your document to a website or another document, you may use hyperlinks. When doing so, make sure that the Hyperlink has context and describes where it leads. It should not just read "click here", and should make it clear what the destination of the link is (example, the web link www.queensu.ca should be written as "Queen's University").
Inserting a Hyperlink
Using Microsoft Word® 2010
- Highlight the text you wish to be the link.
- Click on "Insert" in the toolbar. The fourth box on the left in the ribbon is the "Links" box.
- Click on the "Links" box. A small menu of three choices will appear.

Graphs and Charts
To make Charts and Graphs accessible, it may require explanations to explain the content. There are two actions recommended to make these items accessible.
The first is to add a short caption preceding them that describes their content. The second is to provide an alternative presentation of the findings. For many charts, the best alternative format in which to present data is a table with the original figures. Some graphics should include good alternate text but also a text description of the data contained in the image.
To add a caption:
- Right click near the edge of the chart, graph or table and choose "Insert Caption".
- Word gives you a few default options for your caption. If you'd like to create your own select "New Label" and enter your caption into the pop-up dialog box.
Tools to Avoid Using
Adding Text Boxes, Quick Parts, Word Art, and Drop Caps should be avoided since content can be inaccessible or difficult for persons with low vision.
Using MS Office's 2010 Accessibility Checker
Word 2010 comes with a new accessibility checker that can aid in checking for problems in your document. This tool makes it easy to identify problems in your document, and explains what needs to be fixed.
To test your document for accessibility-related issues:
- Go to the "File Tab" and select "Info "
- Click the Check for Issues button and select Check Accessibility.
A dialog box appears on the right with a list of accessibility-related errors. Feedback on each item, as well as tips on how to make the proper repairs, is included. Selecting an item in this report will take you to that item in the document.

Licensed Professional Counselor
100 5th Street, Suite 310, Bristol, Tennessee 37620
Depression is often misunderstood. Family and friends give well-meaning advice such as "you need to get out more." It would be nice if that's all it took! While medication is sometimes needed, it takes several weeks for you to feel the full effects. A therapist who specializes in working with depression can often offer some quick benefits. Low self esteem and/or a history of abuse or trauma is often at the very root of depression. I am certified in a particular therapy that relieves that type of hurt. Call me for an appointment, and together we can work to get you some fast relief from depression.

If you haven't checked out Pinterest, you must! It's awesome! This week's post is inspired by the picture above. Now my shirt doesn't look quiet as fabulous but I figure it would with practice.
I am using one of my boyfriend's old T-shirts and a ribbon that was laying around my house. That's really all you need!
If you outline your shirt, it makes cutting it easier.
I love DIY projects that are simple and easy. This shirt was both. Sorry I've been so MIA these past few weeks, I have been super busy with work and school. But I promise no more excuses 🙂

James Franco has had many headline-making moments over the years. Check out the best of James Franco and his antics!
 James recorded a music video for '"Bound 3" with Seth Rogen, which was a spoof on Kanye West's video for "Bound 2" with Kim Kardashian.

Photo:  YouTube He flirted with a 17-year-old girl on Instagram, asking if he should rent a room for the two of them! Did we mention she was on vacation with her MOM?!
Photo: WireImage He has a new AOL web show coming out called "Making A Scene With James Franco" where he joins his friends in reenacting popular movie scenes... with a twist! In the sneak peek video, Napoleon Dynamite's Pedro Sanchez is placed in a scene from Pulp Fiction.
Photo:  AOL James Franco's cornrows in Spring Breakers!
Photo: Everett Collection This lovely quote: "Quite Franc-ly, I think I am an asset to this world we live in. I know that if I didn't exist, there would be some truly upset people just waiting for me. A life without Franco is like a kitten without fur. That's what my reflection told me."
Photo: WireImage He's posted a plethora of half naked photos to his Instagram. He is the selfie king and even wrote about "The Meanings of the Selfie" in the New York Times! The article was published in December 2013.
Photo: WireImage "Pretty Little Liars" actor Keegan Allen posted a shirtless in-bed selfie of the two of them to Instagram. Did their bro-mance go a little too far? The time he was the April Fool: "For April Fools Day, someone played a really cruel joke on me. They stole ALL my mirrors and I had to go hours without seeing myself. I mean, I couldn't even do my daily affirmations. What kind of world is this? I tell you, it's artists like myself that really suffer."
Photos: Getty Images / somartin/Shutterstock He won "Stoner of the Year" from High Times Magazine in 2008 but claims he doesn't smoke (unlike his character in Pineapple Express!)
Photo: Everett Collection Franco's NYU professor was allegedly fired after he gave the actor a "D" in his class. Franco did miss 12 out of the 14 classes, and referred to the professor as "an awful teacher."
Photo: Splash News Franco collaborated with The Museum of Invisible Art.
Photo:  Kickstarter He dressed up like Justin Bieber to lip-sync the pop star's hit single "Boyfriend" in a video with Spring Breakers co-star Ashley Benson. Naturally, the video goes viral.
Photo:  YouTube He dressed up as a woman for Candy Magazine. He also dressed up as Marylin Monroe at the 2011 Academy Awards when he hosted with Anne Hathaway. Clearly he's not afraid to put on a dress.
Photo: WireImage Franco milked a "gay" cow at the Hasty Pudding's Award Ceremony at Harvard in 2009.
Photo: WireImage He started speaking in third person on the set of 127 Hours.
Photo: Everett Collection James wore a bra while receiving Hasty Pudding's "Man of the Year" award at Harvard in 2009. Yup, nothing says "Man of the Year" quite like a nice bra...
Photo: Getty Images This scathing reaction to a negative review of his role in "Of Mice and Men" on Broadway: "Sadly Ben Brantley and the NYT have embarrassed themselves," Franco said in an Instagram post that has since been removed. "Brantley is such a little b**** he should be working for Gawker.com instead of the paper of record. The theatre community hates him, and for good reason, he's an idiot."
Photo: WireImage On Facebook, he posted a shirtless photo next to Allen Ginsberg taking a selfie with the caption "SELFIE CONTEST WITH ALLEN GINSBERG."
Photos: Getty Images/WireImage Franco performed in a short film titled D*cknose in Paris. Yes, you read that right. He walked around Paris with a prosthetic penis on his face while screeching like an alley cat.
Photo:  Facedl Franco painted a questionable image of Seth Rogen in the nude entitled "Seth At Rest" and posted it to his Facebook account.

Celiac disease - nutritional considerationsGluten-free diet; Gluten sensitive enteropathy - diet; Celiac sprue - diet
Celiac disease is an immune disorder passed down through families.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, or sometimes oats (including medications). When a person with celiac disease eats or drinks anything containing gluten, the immune system responds by damaging the lining of the intestinal tract. This damage affects the body's ability to absorb nutrients.
For specific information about the disease (including symptoms and treatment), see: Celiac disease.
Carefully following a gluten-free diet helps prevent symptoms of the disease.
Food Sources
Staples of the gluten-free diet include:
- Beans
- Cereals made without wheat or barley malt
- Corn
- Fruits and vegetables
- Meat, poultry, and fish (not breaded or made with regular gravies)
- Milk-based items
- Oats (may be okay for some people with celiac disease, but work closely with your doctor or dietitian)
- Potatoes
- Rice
You can eat foods such as pasta, bread, pancakes, and pastries made with alternative grains (rice, buckwheat, tapioca, potato, or corn flours and starches).
You can buy these products through local and national food companies, or you can make them from scratch using alternative flours and grains.
Other food items you may use for cooking include:
- Flax, millet
- Legumes, nuts, seeds, cassava
- Tapioca sorghum
The gluten-free diet involves removing all foods, drinks, and medications made from gluten. This means not eating anything made with barley, rye, and wheat. All items made with all-purpose, white, or wheat flour are prohibited.
Obvious sources of gluten include:
- Breaded foods
- Breads, bagels, croissants, buns
- Cakes, donuts, and pies
- Cereals (most)
- Cold cuts, hot dogs, salami, or sausage
- Crackers and many snacks bought at the store, such as potato chips and tortilla chips
- Gravy
- Pancakes and waffles
- Pasta and pizza
- Soups (most)
- Stuffing
Less obvious foods that must be eliminated include:
- Beer
- Candies (some)
- Communion breads
- Croutons
- Marinades, sauces, soy and teriyaki sauces
- Salad dressings (some)
- Self-basting turkey
There is a risk of cross-contamination. Items that are naturally gluten-free may become contaminated if they are made on the same production line, or moved together in the same place, as foods containing gluten.
Eating at restaurants, work, school, and social gatherings can be challenging. Call ahead and plan. It is important to read labels before buying or eating, due to the widespread use of wheat and barley in foods.
Despite its challenges, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is possible with education and planning.
Once you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, it is very important that you talk to a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
Joining a local support group is also recommended. Support groups can help people with celiac disease share practical advice on ingredients, baking, and ways to cope with this life-altering, lifelong disease.
See also: Celiac disease support group
Your doctor might prescribe a multivitamin and mineral or individual nutrient supplement to correct or prevent a deficiency.

I was all set to tell you guys about the inspiring story of Ken Savage, who runs BattleDiabetes.com -- a site that ShoeMoney says that Loren Baker says that Ken says earns him just under $40,000 per year.
I'm impressed that Ken began BattleDiabetes.com because Type 2 Diabetes is a health issue that's close to his soul -- one I pray he's winning.
And the 40 grand earned must be because Ken's got a lot of content on the site dating back to August 2005, because these other factors are an anomaly to me:
- Search Engine Journal says "Battle Diabetes gets 7,000 to 9,000 pageviews on a given day," but comparing my traffic to Ken Savage's two sites, they seem comparable. And though I'm sure I'll see the 7,000 - 9,000 daily pageviews soon -- thank you Jesus -- right now I'm hovering nicely around 4,000 or so per day. (Unless Alexa is way out in left field as some folks claim it is, I don't know how else to explain the closeness in our traffic numbers represented on that graph!)
- Ken reportedly makes his money thru Google Adsense, Auction Ads and Text Link Ads -- and I definitely see the first two very clickable looking ones displayed, but don't see any TLA ads. (This could be in no small part due to the fact that it's now 3:25 a.m. as I type this. Do you guys see any?)
- Search Engine Journal says Ken practices strategic linkbuilding, but I don't see a whole lotta linkbacks to BattleDiabetes.com on Google. (And he's had that domain name for years.)
- Don't see them on Technorati either.
- And looking at the feed for BattleDiabetes.com on browsers other than Firefox, which annoyingly truncates even full feeds, I don't see any monetization going on there yet.
- Ken doesn't even have in-line text advertising. (If this is not a conscious decision, Ken, might I led you on over to my Kontera affiliate link so you can up that figure to maybe 50 grand in coming years?)
He has a heartfelt passion for his subject, and he'd probably do it all for free.
And I'll definitely check out Ken's tips on how he got "one of the most recent jumps in search driven traffic...after he listed BattleDiabetes.com in major web directories such as Best of the Web, DMOZ, Aviva Directory and Business.com."
But as for all my perplexity regarding the other issues above, I'd love for Ken to spill the beans more to us other probloggers who are ready to make $40,000 per year as well with our labors of love...

LAKEWOOD - Khanitha Chareunsouk says too many business are selling alcohol in the city. Of course, her opinion might be biased.
She and her husband have owned Mr. & Mrs. Liquor Market near the intersection of Del Amo and Bellflower boulevards since 1977, and their business has dropped, she says.
"There are too many liquor stores. When they opened, our business went down," she said.
She walks outside the store and points toward the south side of Del Amo Boulevard.
"There some over there and more over there," Chareunsouk said. "How many do you really need?"
She might not realize that Del Amo Boulevard is the divider between Lakewood and Long Beach, so some of those liquor stores are in Long Beach.
Lakewood, with a population of 85,000, has 28 licenses allowing the sale of beer and wine at convenience stores, said city spokesman Bill Grady.
The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control recommends a maximum of 32 for a city of Lakewood's size.
Still, the City Council wants to look at the issue more closely, and last week it passed a temporary moratorium on alcohol beverage permits.
The ordinance, approved unanimously, would only affect convenience stores and other small establishments under 6,500 square feet that apply for new alcohol beverage permits. It won't affect restaurants or facilities serving alcohol on the premises.
No one from the public spoke in favor or against the temporary moratorium at the council meeting.
The city passed the moratorium because officials want to inventory how many businesses have alcohol licenses and where they are located, said Mayor Diane Dubois, who initiated the idea.
The temporary moratorium was suggested after a business owner applied for a license to sell beer and wine at a proposed 7-Eleven at the intersection of Bellflower and Del Amo boulevards. The City Council eventually denied the permit, but council members, including Dubois, wanted to know if the city has issued too many alcohol permits for convenience stores.
"We just want to study this issue," Dubois said. "What do we have in the city? We need to know that, and we haven't asked for it."
Dubois said it was best to pass a temporary moratorium because no licenses are pending and it prevents any potential businesses from getting caught in the middle of the study.
During the moratorium, the city will study possible changes to zoning regulations and development standards for future stores, including location and security requirements. The study will include reviewing what other area cities do, said City Attorney Steve Skolnik.
The moratorium will initially last 45 days, but it will almost certainly be extended another 10 months and 15 days, as allowed by state law, since the city won't be able to complete its findings in that short a time, Skolnik said.
The ordinance also could be extended another year for a total of two years, but the city also can rescind the ordinance if the study is finished early, Skolnik said.
Area business residents don't think a problem exists. Arturo Baez, who works at an accounting company in the same strip mall as Mr. & Mrs. Liquor, doesn't think the area has too many liquor stores, he said.

Fox News guest Simmons claimed stadium terror hoax is "the perfect example" of "how vital" the detainee bill and warrantless domestic spying program are
Moments after host Neil Cavuto noted that the FBI had officially determined that a purported terrorist plot to attack seven NFL stadiums was a "hoax [1]," former CIA agent Wayne Simmons cited the fake plot as "the perfect example of the president's Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the NSA [National Security Agency] terrorist eavesdropping program, how vital they are." Simmons's comment came on the October 19 edition of Fox News' Your World, where he appeared with Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the conservative Center for Security Policy. Gaffney responded to Simmons's statement by saying that he "hope[d]" the fake plot would convince Americans that terrorists are "gunning for us not just in a place like Iraq, but truly worldwide," while Cavuto agreed that "[w]e dodged a bullet here, or presumably a hoaxed bullet."
As the Associated Press reported [1] on October 19, "The threat, dated Oct. 12, appeared on a Web site, The Friend Society, that links to various online forums and off-color cartoons. Its author, identified in the message as 'javness,' said trucks would deliver radiological bombs Sunday to stadiums in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Cleveland and Oakland, Calif., and that Osama bin Laden would claim responsibility."
From the October 19 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: The FBI confirming that football-stadium threat, apparently a hoax. The agency making that determination after questioning a young man connected to the Web threat, which warned of a dirty-bomb attack on seven U.S. stadiums this weekend. Intelligence officials never giving it any credibility, but it does raise this question: Is this the kind of target that Al Qaeda will opt for next time -- Main Street instead of Wall Street? Reaction now from Frank Gaffney, the president Center for Security Policy, and former CIA operative Wayne Simmons. Frank, what do you think, that this kind of thing is where they want to go?
GAFFNEY: I think that the people that we're really concerned about, and evidently that wasn't the case with this individual, but the people we're really concerned about -- I call them Islamofascists -- people who adhere to this ideology who believe they need to triumph politically, not just in a theological sense, are determined to kill as many of us as they can. They' re trying to do it wholesale through weapons of mass destruction, seemingly. But, a feature of the World Trade Center attack was not only an attack on Wall Street, but it, theoretically, could have killed as many as 50,000 people in those towers.
CAVUTO: Well, let me ask you about that, Wayne, that maybe because we had our sights set on financial centers or economic centers, we're missing a greater point here, this hoax not withstanding. What you make of that?
SIMMONS: All right, listen. I think Frank's absolutely right. And I think the big story here is, quite frankly, Neil, is that this is the, and I mean the perfect example of the president's Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the NSA terrorist eavesdropping program -- how vital they are. Without them, we cannot, as the president wants us to do, pre-emptively strike the terrorists. Now, had these threats proven to be credible, I would suggest to you that it would have been probably using these tools and others. So it just doesn't get any more clear of how perfect an example those programs are.
CAVUTO: You're nodding, Frank. You're nodding.
GAFFNEY: Well, I am. This is a clear case where the kind of enemy we're dealing with requires tools that enable you to try to get inside what are basically fairly disciplined and secretive cells in any way you can. The ideal way is human beings -- very hard to do. The next best thing, especially since we have largely dismantled that capability in the past decade or so -- the next best thing is to use these kinds of electronic surveillance tools and the like --
SIMMONS: Absolutely, absolutely.
GAFFNEY: -- that enable us at least to get indicators --
CAVUTO: Yeah.
GAFFNEY: -- and enable you to go after it. But, Neil, I've just got to tell you, one of the things that I hope Americans take away from this is not only that they're gunning for us, not just in a place like Iraq, but truly worldwide. But there are things that we as Americans can do to gun back to fight back --
SIMMONS: Absolutely.
GAFFNEY: -- and one of them I call "divest terror," and I think it's a very powerful tool.
CAVUTO: Wayne, real quickly. We dodged a bullet here, or presumably a hoaxed bullet, but still. Are we going to be lucky In the future?
SIMMONS: Listen, we're going to stay diligent. This is, again -- so many points here. Stay diligent, stay vigilant, work with authorities, pay attention. And hopefully, hopefully we can continue to be successful in taking these terrorists down.
CAVUTO: All right. Wayne Simmons, final word on the subject. Frank Gaffney, thank you very much.

LONG BEACH — A nine-year officer with the Long Beach Police Department who was arrested last month for possession of child pornography was re-arrested Wednesday afternoon for several sexually-based offenses, including arranging to meet a minor for lewd purposes, a police spokeswoman said.
Officer Noe Yanez, 40, was arrested and booked at 12:36 p.m. and is being held at Los Angeles County Men's Jail on $951,000 bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department website.
Yanez was re-arrested after Long Beach police continued their initial investigation and interviewed additional victims, said LBPD spokeswoman Lisa Massacani.
Massacani said she wasn't authorized to release additional information on Yanez's booking.
Yanez is scheduled to appear at the Long Beach Courthouse on May 11.
Yanez was first arrested and booked April 19 for possession of child pornography following an investigation into his alleged inappropriate contact with a minor, which, according to police, began with text messages and the solicitation of inappropriate photographs.
Police launched an investigation after the minor reported the alleged conduct to a school resource officer in April. School resource officers are only placed at high schools.
Yanez was suspended without pay following his initial arrest, police officials said. He posted bond April 20 and was released.
He remains on suspension pending the outcome of the internal and criminal investigations, officials said.
Anyone with information about the Yanez case can contact the Long Beach Police Department Sex Crimes Detail Tip Line at 562-570-7878. Anonymous tips can be submitted via text or email by visiting www.tipsoft.com.

Toby Keith praying for hometown following Moore, Oklahoma tornado
Listen to Toby Keith on iHeartRadio
Toby Keith says he's praying for his hometown of Moore, Oklahoma where a powerful tornado struck Monday. The country star explains that members of his family were in the tornado's path.

Keith adds that while the storm has been devastating, he's confident the community will recover from the tragedy. He says Oklahomans are resilient and will rebuild.

Keith isn't alone in feeling the devastation for his home state. Carrie Underwood, from Muskogee, Oklahoma, has expressed her concern about the natural disaster as well.

Many country stars have been sending their prayers and words of encouragement via social media. Blake Shelton says prior to Monday's edition of "The Voice" he was getting inundated with messages about the deadly tornado that was ripping through his home state of Oklahoma. At the start of the NBC show, the country singer admitted it was tough for him to be there while friends and family members were "going through hell."

Team Blake's Swon Brothers, who are from Muskogee, said it was "hard to enjoy a night like this," and a storm like that "lets you know what's really important." They added that they were praying for everybody back home.
Chris Young and Darius Rucker, have also let victims know they are in their thoughts and prayers.

Tropical depression heads toward Mexican coast
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 10:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 10:04 a.m.
MIAMI — Forecasters say a tropical depression crossing Mexico's Bay of Campeche is expected to become a tropical storm before making landfall in that country's Gulf Coast state of Veracruz.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the Atlantic season's second tropical depression is drenching areas in its path with between 3 and 10 inches of rain, raising the threat of flash floods.
The depression formed Monday off Belize and was about 85 miles (140 kilometers) north-northeast of Coatzacoalcos, Mexico on Wednesday morning. It was moving west-northwest at 9 mph (15 kph) and forecast t strengthen before expected landfall Thursday morning in Veracruz state.
The storm has maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (55 kph). A tropical storm watch has been issued in Mexico from Punta El Lagarto to Barra de Nautla.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Seeing that it's walking distance from the stadium, the best place to be before or after a Dodgers game is the Gold Room with a shot of tequila in your hand. And you won't have to sell your soul to enjoy that devil's water; a shot-and-a-beer combo is an unmatched four bucks. (That's, like, two dollars a drink.) Also: free tacos, a policy we believe should be implemented citywide. The jukebox blares banda music, the floor is covered in empty peanut shells, and when the boys in blue win, there is no rowdier bar in Echo Park, or anywhere else for that matter. 1558 W. Sunset Blvd., Echo Park. (213) 482-5259. —Kai Flanders
A bright spot on an otherwise sleepy stretch of Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock, Colorado Wine Company has long stood out for its cheeky, unpretentious approach to the guzzling of the grape. (The annual white-trash wine tasting, which pairs things like tater tots and pinot noir, is always a sellout.) But since moving into new, cozier digs last November, it's become something else: a Cheers-like neighborhood bar in a neighborhood that desperately needed one. Most nights of the week — especially Fridays, when they pour a five-wine flight for a mere $15 — you can find a convivial mix of locals and cork dorks from all over town crowding around the rough-hewn hunk of reclaimed wood that serves as both bar and checkout counter. There's a rotating selection of wines by the glass and six beers on tap — but pop a bottle to share with your newfound bar buddies. Corkage is only five bucks — except Wednesdays, when it's free. 2305 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock. (323) 478-1985, cowineco.com. —Andy Hermann
Most beachside-bar real estate revolves around location in lieu of quality — a harrowing fact of life to the coastal craft beer lover. Where others have rested on the laurels of a nice locale, Venice Ale House unites a superb local beer selection with an ocean view. Plunk yourself onto a patio seat where you'll rub elbows with boardwalk commuters, or enjoy a slight remove at the bustling bar and choose from 32 beers originating from Colorado and points west. Note the "almost always" available chalkboard beer list in addition to the rotational selection — all are on tap. A "skate of beers" delivers a flight of four, six or eight samples suspended on an immobilized skateboard. With all that amazing beer and the enchanting sunset over the ocean, you're bound to need sustenance. Try the grass-fed burger to satisfy that primal, beer-induced hunger. This seaside pint — or flight — will be one you won't forget. 2 Rose Ave., Venice. (310) 314-8253, venicealehouse.com. —Erika Bolden
When you see a great hardcore band there's always tons of energy, and this is particularly true at the Vex Arts performance space. The stuffy, sweaty room is home to the most raging slam dancing, stage-diving and dog piles in Los Angeles County. Legendary East L.A. precursor the Vex dated back to the days of Black Flag but shut its doors in 1984. Thankfully, a year ago it returned in the new location as a multipurpose space. Again spearheaded by Joe "Vex" Suquette, it hosts everything from art shows and concerts to skateboard workshops. But the real ragers are the hardcore shows, featuring veteran acts like Infest and Chain of Strength alongside up-and-comers Stoic Violence and Nomads. Once you enter the mosh pit, you won't want to leave. (Until you start bleeding, that is.) 5240 Alhambra Ave., El Sereno. (323) 221-0971, vexarts.com. —Nicholas Pell
In decades past, jazz fanatic Clint Eastwood hung at Studio City jazz spot the Baked Potato. Oh, and Police guitarist Andy Summers gigged there following the supergroup's breakup, Slash played in jam sessions there after Guns N' Roses, and in recent years Joe Bonamassa has slipped in for sets before a hundred fans instead of the thousands that fill his arena shows. The venue was founded in 1970 by Don Randi, and his son Justin is there most nights now behind the bar and out front tweaking the room's legendary sound. Music fans from around the world pass through the doors, and the club can be considered L.A.'s answer to New York's Village Vanguard: a small room where some of the world's greatest musicians stop by to listen and play with their peers. The patrons themselves feel like they're sitting in. 3787 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Studio City. (818) 980-1615, thebakedpotato.com. —Tom Meek
The aptly named World Famous Barnyard is about as low-down and lively a blues venue as you'll find anywhere in the nation. Featuring live blues, soul, old-school jazz and R&B, this bring-your-own-booze celebration situation happens every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. at 97th and Main in South Central. It's nothing but a vacant lot strewn with rows of used commodes and kitchen appliances, only partially paved and barely covered with an old awning. It features a revolving crew of hardcore local blues bands but, since there's no website, no publicist and no phone, you never know what to expect — except that it'll be as genuine as it can be. 9627 S. Main St., Broadway-Manchester. —Jonny Whiteside

Three brisk knocks.
"Meals on Wheels!" announces Route 3 driver Mike Reynolds at a client's Southwest Redlands front door. "Anybody hungry?"
"I am!" the client replies from inside.
Reynolds and navigator Jane Arnegard enter the house. He carries an aluminum container, hot enough that he uses a potholder. She has a lunch bag and an envelope. They put the meal on the kitchen table, hand their client his monthly invoice, exchange friendly wisecracks with the elderly man and head for the door.
"I'm sure grateful for you folks and what you do," he says as his visitors take their leave. "Lucky to have you."
Five days a week, Redlands Meals on Wheels volunteers drive four routes to deliver meals all over town, mostly to homebound seniors.
Other volunteers work at the organization's base, the kitchen at the Jocelyn Center, doing administrative tasks and loading prepared meals into insulated containers for driver teams.
Another route from Redlands Community Hospital delivers to clients with special dietary needs.
"We have 125 volunteers in all," said Kathy Van Meter of Redlands, one of two volunteers who supervise the process on Wednesdays. "Everyone is a volunteer - we have no paid staff at all."
Getting Started
Redlands Meals on Wheels began in 1970, and holds a charter from the city that allows volunteers to deliver food all over town. Many of the workers are retired, Van Meter said.
"Most have regular assignments," she said. "You might deliver meals one day every two weeks or once a week. Some substitute for people who are away."
At about 10 a.m. one recent Wednesday, before the driver teams arrive, Van Meter and co-chair Beverly Woolverton of Redlands receive delivery of the prepared meals from Plymouth Village, a senior living center in Redlands. They stack hot meals and lunch bags all over the kitchen and get them organized.
"Oops - we've got gravy today," says Woolverton, who has found a hot food container with a leak.
"Did it get all over?" asks Nancy Riley, the Plymouth Village delivery person.
"Got a little bit of a spill," Woolverton says.
"That's all you need," Riley commiserates.
Delivery teams arrive about 10:30, by which time Woolverton and Van Meter have loaded the meals into large insulated containers. The kitchen gets crowded and a bit noisy as friends greet one another. The teams find their route books and Meals on Wheels identification badges, load their lunches onto carts and wheel them out to waiting trunks and back seats.
Asked what's for lunch, Reynolds, the driver on Route 3, raises his eyebrows.
"We don't know, usually," he says. "People ask us that, and we don't have any information for them."
After some investigation, however: "Looks like chicken in gravy with spinach, rice and peas," he says. "The sack has a brownie, salad, milk and an orange."
Woolverton, who has been with the organization for 38 years, and Van Meter, a 32-year veteran, stay in the kitchen to lay the groundwork for Thursday's deliveries. Both have volunteered as route deliverers in the past, and sometimes take a route when someone calls in sick.
"Hopefully not, though," says Route 3 navigator Arnegard, on her way out the door with Reynolds and some 15 lunches. "They've got enough to do already."
On the Road
Arnegard and Reynolds have been a team for about two years, although both have volunteered with Meals on Wheels for much longer. They deliver on first, third and fifth Wednesdays, and Reynolds also drives a Friday route.
"Mike is a wonderful volunteer, all over town," Arnegard says. "He gives a great deal of work to the community."
Reynolds, 63, who has delivered meals since 1980 and also has served on the organization's Board, says Meals on Wheels is the easiest volunteer work he does.
"We get to the Center and the food is all ready to go," he says. "Then we take it to nice people who are usually happy to see us. What's hard about that?"
Arnegard started in 1974 as a substitute with her husband, Don.
"We couldn't commit to a regular route, because we traveled a lot," she says.
She prefers not to reveal her age, "but I am very, very, very, very old," she says. "I'm older than a lot of the people we deliver to."
The two keep up an easygoing banter that flows over into their friendly interaction with clients. They are warm, but speedy. They don't stay long at anyone's house - the goal is to get all the meals delivered by a reasonable lunchtime.
Meals on Wheels is not just about food, Reynolds says, or even about the clients' getting to see friendly faces on a regular basis, although both are important.
"It also means that someone is checking on these people five days a week," he says. "Six days, on the hospital route. That's a significant benefit for the clients and their families."
Meals on Wheels deliverers are in a position to help if a client has fallen or needs other assistance. The organization keeps a list of emergency phone numbers for clients' family members.
Getting Around
The layout of the four routes changes from week to week, as new clients sign up or existing clients go on vacation or stop service for some other reason. The organization gives teams fresh turn-by-turn directions on a regular basis. If someone has canceled service temporarily, the route book offers information on a yellow Post-it note.
On Wednesday, Route 3 covers about 10 miles in Southwest Redlands.
"Oh, this one's off today," Arnegard tells Reynolds as they roll into traffic toward a client's house. "T-F-N? What do you think that means?"
"Hmm," he replies. "'Til further notice?"
So they follow alternate directions to the next house. Reynolds is very familiar with Redlands streets, but usually follows the directions in the route book.
"They work it out so you're always in a position to park on the side of the street the house is on," he says. "That's for our safety."
There is no answer at the next house. They call the client's phone number, and again there is no answer.
"Should we be worried?" Arnegard asks. "Hasn't he fallen in the past?"
Reynolds calls the office and learns that the client has called to say he will be out at delivery time.
"If we didn't know that, we'd leave a note to tell him to pick up his meal at the Jocelyn Center," Reynolds says.
Once every couple of months, he said, they have a situation where nobody answers the door and they go inside to check all the rooms.
Sometimes the person has simply not heard them, and they deliver the meal as usual, much relieved. If nobody seems to be home, they let the office know and move on.
About two houses from the end of the route, they begin thinking about inventory.
"This is about the time we start counting, to be sure Jane has the same number of lunch sacks as I have hot meals," Reynolds says.
"It's a real problem when you don't," Arnegard says.
Reynolds opens the trunk.
"I have two," he says.
"Does it bother us at all that I only have one?" Arnegard asks.
"Your other one is in the back seat," he tells her, with a mock-annoyed shake of his head. "See what I have to put up with? I might have to retire sooner than I thought."
"You'll retire long after I do," Arnegard says.
At the last house, the clients thank them for bringing their lunch.
"It's our pleasure," Reynolds says.
Journey's End
Reynolds and Arnegard are the first team to get back to the office in the Jocelyn Center kitchen.
"I hate to admit it, but we do have an efficient driver," Arnegard remarks.
"Did you say I'm a deficient driver?" he asks.
"Yes," she agrees. "That's what I meant."
As they go inside to drop off their insulated container, route book and Meals on Wheels identification badges, they meet the client who wasn't home - he has come to get his lunch.
Van Meter and Woolverton are in the kitchen to get equipment squared away, and to count lunches needed on Thursday so they can let Plymouth Village know how many to make.
Clients pay Meals on Wheels by the month, Van Meter said. The organization receives donations from clubs, churches and individuals to help pay expenses. Meals on Wheels is always looking for volunteers, she said, whether for regular weekly or bi-weekly routes, or as substitutes. Overall coordinators of the group's mission are Cindy Perkins and Gwen Young.
More information about volunteering or about signing up for meal delivery is available from the Meals on Wheels office, 909-792-0716.
