Check out Lela New York's Guest Post on the amazing Perfect Bound Wedding Blog
I was so excited to be a guest blogger on Perfect Bound Wedding Blog this week! Perfect Bound is an amazing wedding blog filled with beautiful wedding inspiration for the stylish bride.
The featured post was called, "Inspired Fashion | Lela New York"
Here is a snippet:
Hi, this is Lela, from The Lela New York Wedding Blog, guest blogging today for Perfect Bound. I thought it would be fun to share how our luxury wedding invitations are inspired by today’s wedding dresses and latest trends.
One of the big trends right now are the use of crystal belts to adorn the beautiful silk wedding dresses. I just love these Badgley Mischka’s crystal wedding belts! Lela New York took this hot trend and used it to style this wedding invitation in silk fabric and adorned it with a mini crystal belt.
A color trend we are still seeing a lot of is purple. But now in more of a sophisticated muted eggplant which is reflected in the two toned eggplant silks. We then added one more trend, lace. You see it everywhere in dresses. It adds a bit of a delicate, feminine touch to the invitation look.
When designing your invitations and stationery consider looking at your wedding fashion to lead the way. You’ll then be sure to make your introduction to the big day a memorable one.

Enjoy!

Getting to Know Brandon Snyder
Brandon Snyder was the Orioles first round pick in 2005. He was drafted as a catcher but now projects as a corner infielder. After an off 2007, Brandon put together a solid 2008 with the best full season slugging percentage of his career. One of the O's top prospects, he earned a trip to Arizona to play with the other top Baby Birds in the AFL.
(On a side note, the Surprise Rafters, the team the O's prospects play for got beat 28-1 on Monday afternoon. 28-1. Ladies and gentlemen, that's 30-3 for all practical purposes. On the bright side, the lone run came on a Nolan Reimold solo shot.)
Brandon's been hitting the cover off the ball for Surprise, hitting even better than Matt Wieters but not getting the playing time that Matt is. He is blogging from Arizona. I like player blogs. You can learn a lot by reading between the lines. What have I learned?
On the surface, the 21-year old Snyder appears to be pretty grounded and involved with his family. His father was a journeyman major league pitcher and he seems very close to his family. He has interests outside of baseball (cooking, hunting, fishing...hmm, those are all really related aren't they?) and is active in charitable organizations.
Having guns is good. Gives him something in common with Luke Scott, Nick Markakis and, if he stays with the team, Jamie Walker.
Some other tidbits:
Our facilities are UNBELIEVABLE! Our home field is the big league spring training facility of the Rangers and Royals and it is top shelf. It definitely makes you feel like you're in the big leagues when you put on the big league uniform and walk out on a big league field like that.
From this you can glean how crappy the Orioles minor league Spring Training facilities are. They must be really bad. Probably worse than the Ft. Lauderdale site.
Even though we try and get some home cooked meals out here its tuff not being home....My best friend from back home called me to tell me it was opening day of bow season. It stinks not being able to be home for the little things like that but that's the sacrifice that we make to live our dreams. And im sorry if that's a bad example but im sure a lot of you out there will understand what I mean.
That's not an interesting fact in itself but it's just so damn honest! Maybe the most honest thing I've seen a professional athlete write.
I'm rooting for the kid. Hope he blogs some more.
To wrap this up, a comment on this comment left on Brandon's blog.
Brandon,As a fan of baseball I would like to congradulate you on a great season that will hopefully jump-start your big leauge career! As an animal lover I would hope you keep your hunting exploits to yourself! Stick to baseball camps and working on your defense...
By hudsdog@comcast.net
What a tool. The kid can't talk about his hobbies because you are an "animal lover"? Hey Brandon, keep talking about your hunting exploits and do it graphically. I love to see a detailed description of how to field dress a buck. What a dummy this hudsdog is.
(For full disclosure, the guy revealed he is a Red Sox fan later in the comment so he has it coming. And for the record, I don't hunt either...)

Base Hits: 2/28/2008
The Cubs and Mark De Rosa are all downplaying this situation but De Rosa will be undergoing a procedure to correct his irregular heartbeat. This may turn out to be nothing but it's worth watching. Obviously, if it's worse than they think, the Cubs may be more desperate to acquire Brian Roberts and MacPhail can extract a better haul of players. Speaking of which, this note.
*****
I like player blogs and look forward to more entries from Kevin Millar. Say what you will about Millar, I find his blog entertaining, informative and fairly candid. How many guys would admit that the losing wore him down mentally?
*****
So I'm listening to the first Spring Training game from the WHFS feed. It's great that the games have started but this game doesn't have much for us to cheer about this afternoon.
Adam Loewen walked 4 in 1+ IP and Ramon Hernandez has two errors. Hernandez threw the ball into left trying to throw out Hanley Ramirez at third and dropped the ball during a potential play at the plate.
Not a good sign from Loewen as he works his way back from injury.
Now where can I score some Esskay bacon in Atlanta?
*****
A story by Dan Connolly that ponders the possibility of Mark Texiera coming home to play for the Orioles in which Texiera says some flattering things about his hometown.
Oriole fans have harbored this false hope for a couple seasons but the bottom line is that Texiera is a nice guy and a fairly diplomatic fellow. I've heard similiar things out of his mouth about Atlanta since he arrived here last July. Here's an example.
ChopTalk: Your name was tossed around a lot at trade deadline time. What was your reaction when you heard Atlanta?
Mark Teixeira: I was excited. There are a lot of teams you may not want to be traded to, but Atlanta was definitely a team I was happy to come play for. I was here for college at Georgia Tech, and even spent a year (living) here after college. That made the comfort level that much greater. My wife, Leigh, and her family are from (Georgia, Habersham County north of Atlanta), and we both went to school here and still have friends living in Atlanta.
He has a lot of ties to this area as well. He's still a Scott Boras client. He's going to test free agency and will go to the highest bidder in all probability.
I'll call it now. If Texiera leaves Atlanta, he'll be wearing pinstripes in 2009.
*****
Oriole Central has a Spring Training roundup. Reading that post reminds me that Dave Trembley is looking to carry a 12 man pitching staff. As much as I hate having to carry so many pitchers, the unproven rotation and problematic arms in the pen make it unavoidable. Hopefully we can narrow that number down to 11, maybe 10, sometime this season.

Year End Thoughts
There are plenty of year end wrapups across the O's Blogosphere so instead of doing one myself, I'll just highlight the good works of others.
The very prolific Anthony Amobi has end of the year awards for the Baltimore Orioles over at Oriole Post.
At Oriole Magic, Heathir Irvin has an article meant as a Christmas wish list for O's fans but does a nice wrapup of the offseason action.
The best of the wrapups thus far has to be the blow-by-blow of 2007 by The Wayward Oriole.
The official 2007 retrospective by your Baltimore Orioles.
*****
I think Roch may have already posted a link to this but here is a link to the Top Ten Oriole Prospects according to TopProspectAlert.com.
*****
I had a horrible dream last night that Erik Bedard was traded to Seattle but Adam Jones was not included in the deal. But it was just a dream, a terrible, terrible dream.
*****
I'll give some love to a new blog called Swanz's Sandlot who did a nice impartial (he appears to be a fan neither team) breakdown of the Tejada to Houston deal.

Well, that's all I got O's fans. Here's to a brighter 2008 season...

Scanning The O's Blogosphere
I haven't done this for awhile for her it goes:
Heathir Irvin provides yet another fine series preview, this time about the Boston series. Heathir's making predictions now too! Good stuff!
The Baltimore Flock reviews all the stories of the past week.
Anthony over at Oriole Post buys a half price ticket to see a supersized offensive performance the the Yard.
The Wayward Oriole takes umbrage with a Dallas sportswriter who suggests that the Rangers should get Nick Markakis in a trade if Baltimore is interested in Mark Texiera.
Christopher Heun has a nice in-depth look at Miguel Tejada and potential O's cleanup hitters over at The Roar From 34.
Oriole Central has a quick blurb where they bag on my boy Rick Dempsey. Wow, am I the only one who finds Buck Martinez way more annoying than Rick? At least Rick in new. He can improve. This is as good as Buck Martinez is ever going to get! I need to start taking notes.
Roch Kubato's blog over at BaltimoreSun.com is, in a word, indispensable.
