My Big Read?

The Idaho Statesman asks:

If you could recommend one book to a friend, what would it be?

Other than the Bible, I’d say Frank Peretti’s “The Oath.” It’s a subtle, yet powerful book that really will catch readers by surprise.

Billboard Bozos

Boise has had a controversy over over some billboards placed by a local radio station’s billboards:

Between 10 and 20 billboards across the Valley advertise (name of station) with the caption, “Two Boobs in the Morning.” An ample woman’s chest, somewhat covered by a blue T-shirt, displays pictures of Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold, syndicated radio hosts based in Indianapolis. The Eagle has broadcast their program in the Treasure Valley for roughly eight years…

I saw these on Sunday Morning, not quite what I like shoved in my face when I’m on my way to church, or anywhere else really. It’s kind of tacky and tasteless. The advertising is everything people in the news story say it is: trashy, sexist, etc.

He said the billboard campaign matches the “silly and dorkish” tone of the morning radio show. It also appeals to the program’s target demographic: men between the ages of 25 and 54.

The particular billboard doesn’t make me more likely to listen to the station in general and it might make me less likely if I didn’t already not listen to them. This remains the problem for those who don’t like the billboard. They’re not going to take it down because their target audience is not all that incensed. While they’re trying to build up their 7:20 AM broadcast on Thursday, I won’t be listening. The decision will be to keep the ad up in the name of free speech. It’s something post-modern Americans love, to stand up and defend a mildly offensive and frivolous thing and then pretend that you actually did something.

Pro-Life Conversion Stories

Andrea the Sheepdog . . .

You’re a Collie!

No bones about it, you’re a loyal, nurturing Collie. A sensitive breed, you’re always approachable and very in tune with others’ feelings — just like Lassie! Because of your empathetic nature, you tend to be the group psychologist to your circle of friends. Your faithful, easygoing, steadfast personality makes you a wonderful confidant; people love to come to you with their troubles. Bottom line? You’re a star at interpersonal relationships and have a knack for making new friends and acquaintances wherever you go. After all, what’s a Collie without a flock to look after? Since you’re so giving, your buddies might not realize that you need them just as much as they need you, so make sure not to neglect yours truly. Everyone deserves some “me” time. Woof!

Your eyes say you’re Naturally Stunning

Fresh and laid-back, you take the same approach to your makeup as you do to life: Easy does it. We’d guess you’re a no-muss, no-fuss kind of gal who doesn’t like to spend too much time in front of the mirror. But that doesn’t mean you still don’t love to look great. You just do it in your own effortless way.

Truth be told, it’s your grounded nature and straightforward sensibilities that make you so attractive. When someone looks you in the eyes, they immediately sense your integrity and down-to-earth spirit. And what could be more beautiful than that?

And oddly enough:

You’re a ESTJ!

That means that based on the standard measure of personality traits, you have a quiet determination and sharp mind — you’re very focused and buckle down when it comes to work. You are the type of person one looks to in a crisis. While others may provide emotional support in a situation, your clear and logical thinking allows you to solve the problem at hand.

You may be firm, but your actions are generally fair. You believe in putting in the work and don’t expect favors to get ahead. Additionally, you want objective feedback to determine your success. You are a careful thinker and get all the details before making any decisions. You don’t jump to conclusions and stick with the facts provided. In other words, you’re the go-to person for the real story, not the spin or gossip. While others may sometimes see you as stubborn, they begrudgingly respect your ethics and straightforward approach.
Career Personality Test

Usually, I test as an NF, but that sounds accurate in terms of work . . .

You’re a Visual/Spatial Intelligence!

Others may take their environments for granted but not you. Because of your visual/spatial intelligence you really see the world around you. This strength often helps you better appreciate the beauty and detail in everyday things. From shapes in nature to the structure of a fine automobile, a countless variety of things hold your interest.

Having this particular kind of heightened awareness can allow you to form accurate mental images of existing places and objects. In extreme cases, one might call this strength a photographic memory. Being visually/spatially intelligent also means that you likely have a vivid imagination that can be put to use in a variety of creative or professional endeavors.

You’re an Advisor!

Whether you know it or not, this is the role that is most in tune with who you are at your core. As an advisor, you are a quiet and reserved person who loves to help others achieve their potential through interpersonal connections. Others value you for your wisdom, integrity, and sound advice, as well as your genuine concern for people’s welfare. You are a thoughtful person, trust your gut feeling about things, and have extremely acute intuition. You are somewhat of a poet in your way of thinking, finding beauty and meaning in simple things. Because of your sensitivity and soft-spoken ways, you may experience mood swings and the inability to get out of bad situation from time to time. Just be aware of that and you will get stuck in fewer unsatisfying ruts.

Today in Baseball History Midweek Open Trackbacks

Some exciting events happened on May 1st in Baseball history including:

1906 – Johnny Lush of the Philadelphia Phillies pitched a no-hitter at Brooklyn, beating the Dodgers 6-0.

1920 – Babe Ruth hits his first home run as a Yankee as New York beat Boston 6-0 at the Polo Grounds.

1920 – In Boston, Brooklyn’s Leon Cadore and the Braves’ Joe Oeschger duel 26 innings to a 1-1 tie in the longest game ever played in the major leagues. Oeschger shuts out the Dodgers for the last 21 innings, topping Art Nehf’s 20 scoreless frames in a row on August 1, 1918. He gives up nine hits and Cadore allows 12.

1926 – Satchel Paige, 19 years old, makes his debut in the Negro Southern League, pitching Chattanooga to a 5-4 win over Birmingham.

1969 – Houston, no-hit the day before by Cincinnati, answers back as Don Wilson pitches a 4-0 no-hitter (with 13 strikeouts) over the Reds. Houston ties an N.L. record with just one assist. In Wilson’s previous start against Cincinnati, he gave up six runs in five innings in a 14-0 loss.

1975 – Hank Aaron has four hits and drives in two runs in the Brewers’ 17-3 win over Detroit. This brings his career RBI total to 2,211, breaking Babe Ruth’s published record of 2,209. On February 3, 1976, the Records Committee will revise Ruth’s total to 2,204. In actuality, Aaron set the record April 18, 1975.

May 2nd has some good ones too:

1909 – Honus Wagner steals his way around the bases in the first inning of a game against the Cubs. It is the fourth time he has performed this feat, an N.L. record.

1917 – The Cubs lefthander Hippo Vaughn and righthander Fred Toney of the Reds toe the mound in Chicago for a one-of-a-kind game. At the end of nine innings, both pitchers have no-hitters. With one out in the top of the tenth and men on second and third, Jim Thorpe hits a swinging bunt near the mound. Vaughn picks it up and throws home, but catcher Art Wilson freezes the ball hits his chest protector, and Larry Kopf slides in safe for the only run. Fred Toney sets the Cubs down in order and has the fourth ten-inning no-hitter to date.

1939 – Lou Gehrig voluntarily benches himself for the good of the team. His consecutive-game string stops at 2,130. Babe Dahlgren, his replacement, has a home run and double as the Yankees rout Detroit 22-2.

1954 – Stan Musial hits five home runs in a doubleheader with the Giants in St. Louis. In attendance is eight-year-old Nate Colbert, who will eventually be the only other player in history to match this feat. The Cards win the first game 10-6 and the Giants win the nightcap 9-7.
