Hey everyone, I am very new to the mom thing and my midwife mentioned AP parenting so here I am. First Iĺd like to say everything Iĺve read here is wonderful and completely reinforces what I already believed about parenting. That said, I would really love some advice on a couple of things. My four week old sleeps with me and I have a Sleepy Wrap that we are both in love with but what about when I NEED to put him down? My husband works all day and when I get up to shower and start the day (which varies greatly depending on the sleep we got the night before) I have to put him in his crib or basket. Sometimes he does great but he almost never makes it through shower without crying. I have to jump out and dry off quickly before comforting him and I feel awful because it happens daily. Also, he sleeps in the car seat if we go somewhere. Usually two minutes and heĺs out like a light. So, do I take him out at our destination and immediately upon arriving at home or is it alright to leave him in it? I feel like every minute he cries or he's on his own (asleep or awake) I'm not living up to being a mom.
No announcement yet.

Ooooh four weeks, so little and needy of mommy! Some people really enjoy them that little, I prefer the 8mo old! It dosn't mean you are not cut out for mothering, but some of us find the early weeks more challenging! The laying the baby down thing is a problem for our own self care, as my two would both wake up as soon as I put them down also. Some techniques I used were movement ---a bouncy or vibration chair for my showers. Also if I had nursed them to sleep on a bed I would immediately take off the shirt I was wearing and lay it right next to him. Then my 'smell' would still be there. Most of the time I would wait until hubby was home and then have my "me" time, but I know everyone does not have that option. So try a couple things, and remember as soon as you have a 'solution' he will change developmentally and need a new 'solution' so don't get discouraged! They change so quick this little.
The car seat thing. --IF--- you can park right next to your door and leave the door open and be in the room looking out to the car that is in the shade, I wouldn't leave him in the car. Sometimes my son will fall asleep and I will roll all the windows down and garden in the front yard, or ask a neighbor to stand next to the car while I go in to go potty..but generally not a good idea. Do you live in the country or city? Is it hot or cold out, in the sun, strangers walking around? could you hear him, see him? Many Variables! Mostly iffy--Is he in a bucket seat you can remove? If he is not, start getting him used to being picked out and go back to sleep....
You can do it!--this mothering thing--- I start feeling like I have better mother aptitude at 5mo, you can make it too!
Oh, dear God, I didn't mean I'd leave him in the car. NEVER. Sorry to give that impression. I should have worded it better. I just meant to take the seat out and carry it with me with him in it instead of taking him out of the seat and potentially waking him up. He's always cranky if woken up but doesn't always wake up if moved. Thank you for advice though!

babywearing is awesome, but there are physical limitations to how long one person can wear a baby. enlist the help of others like your dp (can't remember if you have one). also, read the principle on nurturing touch. it provides more info on meeting your baby's needs besides just babywearing.
whether to wake him from his carseat is a personal decision. i never liked to leave mine in the buckets, but i also had great respect for their sleep needs, so if they were sleeping, it felt rude to disturb them, but i was always right there when they woke so they knew i hadn't abandoned them.

Rachel ~ WOHM partner to lovely SAHD since 04/14/06 , Mom to beautiful daughter Margali born 02/19/08
I don't shower everyday (have REALLY sensitive skin) & when I do my husband is here & takes the baby. Do you need to shower everyday? I know a lot of people feel like they have to.
I take her out of the carseat even if she's asleep but I have a weird dislike of the carseat & hate having her in it.
Every now & then I will have to put her down so I can go to the bathroom or something & she'll cry. I felt like you described, BUT it actually gets MUCH better as they get older. Now, if I have to put her down, she can play w/ toys for a minute & it makes a HUGE difference. Just wanted to let you know it gets better!
I had the same problem at first. I would keep our changing mat on a rug on the bathroom floor and changed all his diapers there. He often got little sink rinses during his diaper changes which he loved and at some point, I think between 1 and 2 months he became very used to being on the bathroom floor. At that point I could magically shower again, really fast but it was still a shower! And I kept the curtain partially open so I could see him and he could see me and I sang to him the whole time. Once out I could usually get ready without too much trouble but I didn't push my luck and dawdle. I also tried the vibrating chair with him and sometimes it worked and some times it didn't. A few times in desperation I put him in my solarveil sling and took him in with me, which he loved but I found it too hard to shower, got the stinky parts though!
Now at 6 months I can get a decent shower but I still need to be efficient. It does get better!
Also my guys happiest times are before noon, so I time my showers accordingly...or take them after hubby gets home. And some times he cries some before I'm done and I just hurry and keep singing, talking and looking at him. I hate when he cries but also a clean mama is a happy mama in my house. I do have shower priorities each time though so if I have to cut it short I still feel ok.
Anyway, I'm babbling - you hang in there!
I had DH watch baby until DS was older and keen on taking a shower with me. Some people shower with babies, although I haven't.
We always took ds out the car seat, yeah sometimes it sucked, but we did it as it was better for him and the car seat wasn't removable.

Nicole, Co-Leader of Cherished Children API and Mom to 3 boys: Simon (5), Quinn (3) and Kieran (3/08)
My motto is never wake a sleeping baby so if my baby falls asleep in the car seat I leave them there and just carry him (I have 3 boys, hence the use of the male pronoun!) with me to wherever I am. My current infant won't sleep in the car seat at all and I happen to really miss the days when I could carry a sleeping baby in and have a few moments to unload groceries or something. I don't feel that the point of AP for me is to never put my baby down, but rather to be sensitive to my baby's touch needs. If he's asleep in the car seat I assume he's happy and all his needs are met so there's no need for me to take him out.
My baby often ends up crying during shower times. With this current baby I lay him on the floor of the bathroom and the sound of the shower soothes him so he's happy. Often when I get out he starts fussing. After trying it every way possible my current plan is to dress quickly and only pick him up if he starts seriously crying. We're talking 2 minutes of fussing here and I am finding that with 3 kids and a chaotic household that if I stop mid-dressing then it often takes me hours to finish. So in the interest of a clothed Mommy he often fusses for a few minutes (while I talk/sing to him) so that my needs are met and I can focus on the kids from there on out.
To me this is the point of the "Balance" Principle - in an ideal world my baby would never fuss, but in THIS world I need to balance my need to get dressed every day with his need to be held. We're pretty attached so I can listen to him and gauge when he really absolutely needs to be picked up and when I can finish what I need to do and hold him off for a minute by talking and singing. The same principle goes for eating. I delay many a meal to parent, but sometimes I just have to finish eating/set something up while the baby fusses so that my need for food is met too.
I agree with PaxMamma, it's unrealistic to believe that your baby will never cry or that you need to be there for him every second of every day. When I start putting too much pressure on myself (often) I remind myself that the point of AP is not to be "perfect" (never use a device, never have my baby cry) but overall to parent in a manner that allows my kids to feel safe, accepted and respected.
You're clearly trying to be the best mom you can be, and that's the best that any of us can do!

Happily married to Chris, luckiest mom to ODS 6, MDS 4, DD 2, and YDS 4/08
EBF/tandem, cosleeping, BWing, HB in the H2O, vegetarian mama
I have a bouncy seat for the bathroom My children are rarely put down, but, I need to shower So, if the babe is asleep, I put them in the bouncy. If baby is awake, then I wear them in the Hotsling pool sling, (or the Body Glove carrier)).
I generally take the baby out of their seat, and put them in a carrier. My children have all slept so well, and soundly being carried, so they generally go right back to sleep.
At 4 weeks, baby is growing, your hormones are changing... just make sure to give yourself a break. DOn't put undue pressure on yourself.
I have a rocker seat that I use while I'm in the shower - but I found DD (now 4 months) was fussy while I showered until she was about 8 weeks. I got round this most of the time by not showering until DH was home and could hold her. I wanted her to get used to the bathroom so he would often sit in there with her while I showered (we have little stools in the bathroom for SD 9). Now DD will happily sit while I shower, she can see me, and I chat to her. I often co-bath with her too, I can co-shower, but find I need DH there to hand her to me! Co bathing is a bit easier as I can get her ready and then me ready and pop us both in the bath. I get two towels ready on the floor to put her on when we get out, cover her up with another towel, and then dry off myself! It's quite a production isn't it!
It will get better, after a few weeks, DD loves the rocky chair and watching me have a shower too! But it took a few weeks for her to allow me some "out of arms" time - those first 8 weeks or so were 24 hours a day, now she is a little bigger she likes a bit of kicking time, or to "sit" next to me on the couch and watch her sister playing.
I love the in arms time though - it's so short in the scheme of things and I'll miss it when it's over!
Hang in there!

Bathing with babes
DS is currently 10 months and I have been showering with him since he was about 4 weeks old. I have sensitive skin so I don't often wash my hair or use soaps so when I want to wash my hair I wait till I have a helper (usually DH or flatmate) to dry DS while I finish off my ablutions
DS used to not sleep lying down for the first 3 months of his life and refused to sleep anywhere but in arms or in the car seat.. so we put him in the catseat inside a crib next to the bed (in arms' reach) so I could feed him when he stirred and then he could easily be put back down again. It does make it much easier transporting a wee babe in a capsule rather than a full careseat, but my wee man was generally fine being picked up out of the carseat asleep and tied to me in a wrap or meitai ^_^
Ha! I just had this conversation with my mom the other day. My 7 week old has been taking her long naps in her carseat for over a week now and my mom is just appalled that I'm letting yet another one of my girls do this again (my oldest slept in it for a month for naps). I shower when my husband is home, but if for some reason he's not and I need to, I either bring in the carseat to the bathroom or the boppi swing we have. Sometimes she gets grumpy, but I try not to dawdle. Usually the sound of the shower intrigues her long enough for me to hurry and get clean. My daughter always falls asleep in someone's arms, unless it's a car ride. If she's asleep in the car, I'll either get her out and put her in her sling or just bring the carseat with me. Sometimes when she's slinging and asleep she gets so warm, and then makes me warm, and so I just take off her with her sling and put her either in the carseat or the swing. My philosophy is that she's not going to forever sleep in her carseat, eventually she'll want to stretch out, but she still really wants cradled and if my husband and I can't do it for some reason, then I lay her in something that she thinks is for a few minutes. But, they do eventually let you shower (actually, that's not totally true...my 5 1/2 year old always comes in to chat at me while I"m trying to shower!).

Skip to comments.Fmr. McCain Strategist Nicolle Wallace To Maddow: Both Parties Will Forever Avoid A Palin Choice
Posted on 03/12/2012 10:45:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
On the tail of Game Changes premiere on HBO, former McCain/Palin adviser Nicolle Wallace, prominently featured in the film, visited Rachel Maddow tonight to expand upon the lessons of the 2008 campaign, and made clear that she felt fairly guilty about working to make someone fundamentally unprepared and unsuited for the job the Vice President of the United States.
Wallace noted that she was still in shock as to how close we came to having somebody a heartbeat away from the presidency so fundamentally unprepared and unsuited for the job, adding that, while she thought tossing around the term PTSD lightly was disrespectful, for a staffer, it was the most traumatic experience to realize that they were working on behalf of somebody who its an open question whether she is fit to serve, I certainly dont think she was.
Maddow noted that the film itself seemed to be changing the Washington narrative about Palin to be that the choice of Palin was a disaster I dont think that was the consensus before, which led Wallace to address the criticism of her and other staffers as turncoats for divulging the secrets of the campaign. When loyalty and honesty collide, she argued, she sided with honesty, particular given how fundamentally off-base it was to pick someone who we knew nothing about.
Ultimately, Wallace argued, the impact Palin had on campaigns would be felt in both parties for a long time: both parties will forever avoid a Palin choice she changed the equation forever. She added she could see the conversations impacted by her for any possible appointments, since there are very few opportunities in politics to reshuffle the deck, but few have ended in such failure.
The segment via Fox News below:
Good grief. She's actually describing Obummer!
If Palin had run, she'd have the nomination locked up by now.
Yes, like all Communists, their projection precedes their thoughts, words and deeds.
Unqualified. Hates the nation he leads. Checkered and Marxist past. Maddow has no rebuttle other than redirection, Obama and the MSM want to wreck America and bring her to her knees so the Progressives and do a final killing off of Capitalism, Christianity and subvert our sovreignty to the UN. The Eco-Abortion crew will continue to take land and taxation and regulation...along with the Injustice Dept. will try to shred our ways of earning a living.
So, who on the McLame staff hired Nicolle Wallace? Obviously, that decision was NOT well thought out.
There are a great many jerks in the world, and jerks will always be opposed to non-jerks.
I think it is Nicolle Wallace who is mentally ill. Who would want that bitch anywhere near a campaign again?
TIME: In the book, the vice presidential character, Tara Meyers, is completely unfit for her job.
WALLACE: The idea of a mentally ill vice president who suffers in complete isolation was obviously sparked by the behaviors I witnessed by Sarah Palin.
What if somebody who was ill-equipped for the office were to ascend to the presidency or vice presidency? What would they do? How long would it take for people to figure it out? I became consumed by this question.
Wallace's relentless attack on and obsession with Palin are extremely alarming. I wonder who her financier is ?
Another planet.
They have completely rewritten history.
McCain was dead in the water for all intents and purposes, and it is her entrance onto the ticket that at least brought him across the finish line. He would have lost even MORE states without her and the energize base, who LOVED HER but still despised and DESPISES HIM. Sheesh.
McCain vet Charlie Black: Nicolle Wallace's Palin claim 'bizarre'
Of Wallace, Black said: She wrote a book of fiction and her comment to Time magazine is fiction.
Its bizarre that Nicolle would say that when, constitutionally, you couldnt prevent the woman from being sworn in if she was elected vice president, he continued. Its a bizarre way to sell books."

You would most likely have to peel layer after layer of cut outs, like an onion, to get to the ultimate financier, but were this accomplished, I would not be surprised to find that ultimate financier had the initials of George Soros...
the infowarrior
ABC News is even worse in their reporting about the Wallace appearance. They dont explain who Wallace is, that she has a history of having no credibility, or that she is one of the main people responsible for the lies told by HBO in an effort to cover her own tail.
Zeke Miller is not alone. Hes one of many in the media who have been trying to aid HBO in selling this garbage as reality to the public. The press is doing back-flips to get you to believe that HBO has credibility and that this movie is accurate. They dont dare tell their readers and viewers anything about the source of HBOs information. They repeat the line put out by the entertainment company that Game Change portrays Palin in a sympathetic light, and that the film is balanced because Danny Strong lifted one line out of Going Rogue. Its nonsense. The media is carrying water for their fellow-travelers in the entertainment industry. They dont care about the truth. They want people to believe that the person in that movie is the real Governor Palin. They need her to be some sort of monster, not who she really is because her success and her true character prove their entire world-view, wrong.

HBO's 'Game Change' Idolizes Failed Backstabbing McCain-Palin Advisers
By Noel Sheppard | March 11, 2012 | 20:09
Now that HBO's Sarah Palin-bashing film "Game Change" has premiered, it is fascinating to note that its two heroes are the very advisers who not only were responsible for the worst presidential campaign in decades, but also ended up backstabbing the candidates they represented.
As John Podhoretz wrote at the Weekly Standard:
hmmmm.....now would that be someone with almost unlimited money...someone who turned his fellow Jews over to the Nazis and was proud of it??
What vile, evil people.
The insane GOP-e expect to shove Mitt down our throats. Well, I have been leaning towards the unthinkable -- voting for Obama. The arrogant GOP-e can only be destroyed by NEVER voting for their choices.
Our Republic cannot survive a Mitt or Obama term. If our Republic is to be brought to it's knees, let it be at the hands of a real Socialist/Marxist.
The sooner things implode the sooner we can restore our Constitutional Republic.
Absolutely nothing on this Earth will EVER get me to cast a vote for Mitt. I am fully engaged with my family and friends warning them of the evil of Mitt. Mitt would only delay the inevitable.
The blathering mouthpiece Rush, Levin and the rest of the weak kneed Conservatives actually believe Mitt would be better than Obama. The are all wrong. My BP has gone down since I stopped listening to Rush since Bloody Thursday.
(p.s. I know Sarah is A.B.O. but I understand why she has to take that public position)
Wallace is the movies heroine. She is the voice of reason, the increasingly alarmed witness to the evil McCain has perpetrated by foisting Palin upon the world. It is through Wallaces interactions with the vice-presidential candidate that we see confirmed every bad thing anyone has ever said about Palin (save that she is not the mother of Trigit steers clear of that Sullivanian filth). Wallace (played by Sarah Paulson) delivers screenwriter Danny Strongs inadvertently hilarious Blue State zinger when, dripping with righteous scorn during a confrontation with Palin, she says with disbelief, Yeah, youre just like Hillary.
Wallaces deeply principled revulsion is mirrored by that of Steve Schmidt (Woody Harrelson), the McCain campaign chief whose initial excitement at Palins political skills and smarts is fast superseded by his awareness of her religious fanaticism (Schmidt gets a horrified look on his face when she says she sees the hand of God at work) and her ignorance.
Yes, if ever you wanted circumstantial evidence that the sources within the McCain campaign who spent October 2008 dumping on Palin anonymously might have included Wallace and Schmidt, you need look no further than HBOs Game Change. The movie presents a moral case for the disreputable conduct of aides who, we can presume, fearlessly drop dirty dimes anonymously to save their own standing in the liberal culture from which they desperately wish not to be excluded.
Rachel Maddow Plugs and Re-Plugs McCain Aide Smearing Palin as 'Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs'
By Tim Graham | September 30, 2011 | 08:32
While the nonfiction writers have clearly sharpened their knives for Sarah Palin (and put writers in quotes if were talking Levi Johnston), the liberal media also cant help but publicize smear-fiction of Palin. Case in point: Nicolle Wallace, the Palin-hating McCain aide, whose new novel smears Palin with a plot about a vice president who isnt vetted well whos exposed after the election as mentally ill.
Wallace, who plays a Republican on TV, was featured and touted on two editions of the Rachel Maddow show (Tuesday and Wednesday). Maddow especially liked and reran Wallace suggesting with a smile, Look, you know, I was inspired by her to write a book about someone who was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. So dont ask me.
She was part of the Bush crowd.Birds of a feather flock together.She's like a female david frum. Both wrote books...
Both Bush's ruined the Republican party.
Filled the party with people who "admire" BHO.
Wallace is never asked for her opinion about anything and the libs only ask her about Palin because they know what she will spew!...and her 15 minutes are about up.
Mark Levin totally exposed this piece of human debris Wallace and Steve Schmidt as the ones behind the trashing of Palin since day one. They are now earning their meal ticket with this crap of slamming Palin unmercilessly. They both need to be exposed for the vermin they are. They are the embodiment of inside the beltway loser hacks.
Both are MSNBC whores as well.
Who would have been a better VP candidate?
I don't think McCain ever wanted to be President. He just wanted the face time and media adulation of losing to the first "black" President.
Establishment Republicans line up to get the Palin-approved stamp from the MSM, but how often do they give the first Communist President the same treatment? Obama is less of a threat than a POTENTIAL Pres? Does anyone give creedence to these asswipes anymore? It's like they believe that a President has to know some magical trigonimetric formula to figure out the Executive Branch of government. Bullcrap. Obama was and remains a rank amateur at performing the basic functions of the Presidency. His gaffes are legion at this point, and his decisions have led us to the brink.
Fear her they must, for their demise is her only goal.
You might write some captions under the pictures you post for us folks that never watch TV so we would know who they are. Who are these people you show pictures of? You had time to write a lot of text at the top, it would be easy to put a name under the picture.
Nicolle Devenish Wallace:
I looked up her history a few years ago; it is enlightening.
Screw her.
In my opinion, Palin did not cost McCain the election. She may have been too green, but she didn't that many mistakes.
The moment, I think, that cost McCain the election was when he lied to Letterman to do a preferred interview. When he was shown to be an outright liar, when Letterman filmed McCain getting makeup on to do a Couric interview, when he was supposed to doing an interview with Letterman, his campaign was over, imo.
That was not the fault of Palin.
Well... the bald dude in Steve Schmidt bashing Palin as he routinly does on MSNBC and the dizzy broad laughing it up on MSNBC after slamming Paling for the millionth time is Nicole Wallace. Both these RINO hack losers are cashing in on this movie about Palin.
You need anymore proof people! You need any more proof that the McCain campaign was a bunch of phony BS from the start. Here you have Wallace, who has said repeatedly on MSNBC that she did NOT vote for McCain, she voted for Obama..and why did she vote for Obama, because she and Schmidt were upset that McCain did not pick Romney to be VP..so they were pulling for Obama, from DAY ONE, so that Romney would have the best chance of winning the nomination in 2012..and that is why I will NEVER vote for Romney, because you are who you associate with, and Romney associates with jackasses..yeah yeah, I know, we want Obama gone, I want Obama gone too, but to replace him with this schmuck who associates with these two scum bags forget it. Wake up GOP and get rid of these clowns!
Nicolle is a poophead.
I wonder of she and her sidekick Steve Shitz were actually liberal plants in the McCain campaign.
Thank you very much. The woman is pretty, surprising she so crazy
Hundreds of thousands of us voted for the McCain/Palin ticket because Sarah was on it in spite of McCain being on th ticket.
I believe you.
As I said, I don't think she was a factor. The fact that the liberal media keeps bringing her name is an indication of how dangerous she is to them.
Both Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt are working to destroy Sarah Palin's credibility before the Republicans get their nominee. That way she will not have her huge popularity to use against Obama and any promotion of the Republican nominee. This indicates to me that they are Democrat operatives.
Heh heh. Yeah, they'll ignore her as she rises in the future to crush them.
Who exactly is this stupid, silly little bitch....and just why should we care what she "thinks" or spews?
Mark Levin sums up Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt perfectly:
McCain was pro-Obama during the 2008 campaign. And now McCain's ideological soulmate, Mitt Romney, is close to being anointed as the next Republican nominee. The "two-party" system is a sham.
and she is doing that now.
Some FReeper suggested on a thread a couple of weeks ago McCain wanted a big war chest for his Senate campaign. That he did get.
yes they better avoid having a true populist, a person that lives her values, and speaks her mind, and stands up for the little people...yes, we certainly can't have that kind of character running around....NOT!
Having stalled on her way to the top, there is no one else left to sleep with to advance her career so she sows dissent and attempts to ruin anyone above her.
We have all seen and dealt with this type of corporate / political animal she will crash and she will crash hard as soon as the left uses her up.
Seems like the type of political advisor McShame would have!...a regular "reach across the aisle" kind of gal.

A fix is now available for this issue with the release of SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac version 6.01.00.0003. Follow the procedure below.
This issue applies only to MacBook Air 6,1 and 6,2, released June 2013. (See the Apple website for information on how to check which MacBook Air you have.)
After installing Sophos Disk Encryption for Mac, version 6.x and creating the first admin user, at the next reboot the Power on Authentication (POA) freezes. Keyboard entries are no longer accepted.
This freeze continues even after subsequent reboots. External keyboards also do not work while the computer is in this state.
First seen in Sophos SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac 6.00.0
Sophos SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac version 6.01.00.0003 has now been released. This provides a fix for the issue described in this article.
sgadmin --poa on
Important: The instructions given from here down are for a workaround which was published before version 6.01.00.0003 was released, and have been left here purely for information. You should now only follow the instructions above.
Note: If you have an external Apple keyboard available, plug in the keyboard when the MacBook is switched off. Depending on the device ID of the keyboard, either the internal or the external keyboard should work. It has been reported that some other USB keyboards will also work.
If you have not already done so, do not install SDE for Mac on the new MacBook Air until this issue is resolved. We are working on resolving the issue with the highest priority and will update this article as we make progress
If you need to install it e.g. for compliance reasons, then you must disable the POA prior to the first reboot after installation. To do this:
Open a terminal and use the command: sgadmin --poa off
sgadmin --poa off
Be aware that with this step you will no longer have the advantage of the SDE for Mac authentication. The authentication security will fully rely on OS X.

Shakespeare's Restless World is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Today's episode London Becomes Rome looks at the grand and theatrical coronation of King James I.
Ruth Levis, British Museum
The illustrations of the triumphal arches featured in today's programme were published in a book, The Arches of Triumph, 'invented and published' by Stephen Harrison, the man behind the arches' creation. Here is his description that accompanied The Temple of Janus (the Roman god of beginnings and transitions), the final arch in the procession.
The seventh and last Pegme (within the Citie) was erected at Temple-barre [Temple Bar], beeing adioyned close to the Gate: The Building was in all points like a Temple, and dedicated to Janus Quadrifrons.
Beneath that Foure-fac'd head of Janus was advancd the Armes of the Kingdome, with the Supporters cut out to the life: from whence being remoude they now are placed in the Guild Hall.
The wals and gates of this Temple were brasse; the Pillars silver, their Capitals and Bases gold: All the Frontispice (downeward from those Armes) was beutified and supported by twelve rich Columnes, of which the foure lowermost, being great Corinthian pillers, stood upon two large Pedestals, with a faire Vaux over them in stead of Architriue, Frieze and Cornice.
Above them, eight Columnes more, were likewise set, two and two upon a large Pedestall; for as our worke began (for his Maiesties entrance) with Rusticke, so did wee thinke it fit, that this out Temple, should end with the most famous Columne, whose beauty and goodlinesse is derived both from the Tuscane, Doricke, Ionicke and Corinthian, and received his full perfection from Titus Vespasin, who advanced it to the highest place of dignitie his Arch Triumphall, and (by reason that the beauties of it were a mixture taken from the rest) he gave it the name of Composita or Italica: within the Temple stood an Altar, with burning Incese upon it, before which a Flamin appears, and to the Flamin comes the Genius of the City.
The principall person in this Temple, was Peace. At her feete lay Warre groueling. At her right hand stood Wealth. On the same hand likewise, but somewhat remote, and in a Cant by her selfe, Quiet was seated, the first hand maide of Peace, whose feete stood vpon Tumult. On the left hand (at the former distance) Liberty the second hand-maide of Peace had her place, at whose feete Seruitude lay subiected. Beneath these (on distinct degrees) sate two other hand maides of Peace, Safey and Felicity, Safety trampling upon Danger and Felcity upon Unhappinesse. Genius and Flamin spake thus much.

Skip to comments.Labor union officials say Obama betrayed them in health-care rollout
Posted on 02/01/2014 2:03:41 PM PST by Second Amendment First
Labor leaders who have spent months lobbying unsuccessfully for special protections under the Affordable Care Act warned this week that the White Houses continued refusal to help is dampening union support for Democratic candidates in this years midterm elections.
Leaders of two major unions, including the first to endorse Obama in 2008, said they have been betrayed by an administration that wooed their support for the 2009 legislation with promises to later address the peculiar needs of union-negotiated insurance plans that cover millions of workers.
Their complaints reflect a broad sense of disappointment among many labor leaders, who say the Affordable Care Act has subjected union health plans to new taxes and mandates while not allowing them to share in the subsidies that have gone to private insurance companies competing on the newly created exchanges.
After dozens of frustrating meetings with White House officials over the past year, including one with Obama, a number of angry labor officials say their members are far less likely to campaign and turn out for Democratic candidates in the midterm elections.
We want to hold the president to his word: If you like your health-care coverage, you can keep it, and that just hasnt been the case, said Donald D. Taylor, president of Unite Here, the union that represents about 400,000 hotel and restaurant workers and provided a crucial boost to Obama by endorsing him just after his rival Hillary Rodham Clinton had won the New Hampshire primary.
Taylor and Terry OSullivan, president of the Laborers International Union of North America, laid out their grievances this week in a terse letter to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), saying they are bitterly disappointed in the administration.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
I think it was Saul Alinsky that said that "the ends justify the means." Betrayal is a bitter pill that is disastrously felt only after it is swallowed.
Well, screw you, labor union officials. You all screwed the rest of us pretty good trying to work out your own sweetheart deal. I hope it hurts.
Shut up, you union slugs. You'll roll out to the polls and vote straight Democrat as all minorities do. You're on the Big Government Plantation, and your masters aren't at all threatened by your occasional whimpering.
Obama has disdain for everyone. It's only a matter of time before he gets around to offending everyone.
I didn't leave the Democrat party...
The Democrat party left me.
Ronald Reagan
Expecting something different were we?
First he betrayed Conservatives.
Then he betrayed the wing-nut Leftists.
Then he betrayed other fringe Leftists, he thought didn't
All the while he was betraying Blacks.
Then he started betraying the Unions.
Then his programs were so bad, they started to hurt the party, another betrayal of sorts.
Now he has betrayed the labor unions.
One can only wonder what other betrayals will be just over the horizon for Bath-house Barry. It could get very ugly.
When the Left has had enough of this dumb ass, they'll be dropping the dime on him. The Right will be able to step back and get out of the way.
"These labor union leaders need to comprehend that they have sold out their fellow Americans for a few lousy shekels."
They didn't even get 30 pieces of silver.
Indeed, you are correct. My daughter is writing an essay this weekend on Orwell's use of betrayal in his novel Animal Farm .perhaps the union bosses should reread this little ditty.
Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas.
This may not be a bluff. It just may mean that union members
will only commit to voting for Democrat candidates only one
time instead of 2-3 this campaign cycle.
"Union Official" are just covering their butts because they sold the Obamacare lemon to their members. which is not to say that the officials didn't know it was a lemon all along.
So will these unions stop supporting Democrats? Will these unions call for the repeal of Obamacare? If no to both, then these unions are mere puppets of the Democratic Party and their words are meaningless.
As everyone knows, the "Devil is in the Details".
Exactly. The labor union leaders lied to their " bothers and sisters" when they told them how great ObamaCare was going to be and hoped no one would notice.
They went on feeding the crocodile, hoping it would eat them last........
Useful Idiots
Heh heh.
A perfect storm brewing for a wipeout of Democrats in the mid-terms and the idiot RINO's are playing with amnesty instead.
[ First he betrayed Conservatives.

Danger Danger Will Robinson!!!!
The left when they tire of him will make a Martyr out of him one way or another....
Like JFK, RFK, etc etc....
Pray for the President's Safety!
When Leftists "Drop the Dime on Someone" They play for permanent keeps.
I would rather Obama die of old age or something he picked up at the Chicago Bathouse than for some disgruntled leftists to cause an early demise.
First the Media would spin him into a Martyr and Second they would use it as an excuse to take away even more of your rights and advance the socialist agenda.
I agree. I never advocate or express a desire to see a Leftist cut down. They would be an instant Kennedy or a King, and would never be seen for who they really were.
If it looks like I've advocated for such, it was because I was intemperate. I don't want it for a second.
Exactly WHAT did these morons think "Cadillac Health Care Plans" meant, and WHO had them?
And water is wet, your point?
Unions pushed for Obamacare because they thought it wouldn't be FORCED on them. They didn't care if they were sticking it to the rest of Americans. Also unions only back one party so they really don't have any leverage. My guess is they'll go crawling back to democrats...
Good for your daughter...
Betrayed huh, so what of it? Whacha gonna do? Vote Republican?

Flames Picks Round 5-7
Kent Wilson
June 23 2012 10:49AM
Ryan Culkin, D - 124th overall
Culkin is a defender from the Quebec Ramparts of QMJHL. He's the third defenseman picked by the Flames in this draft, making Jankowski the only forward chosen in the top-125 by Calgary. Culkin is a 6'1", 175 pound blueliner who scored 6 goals and 25 points in 60 games. Like many other Flames picks in this draft, he's described as a player with good hockey sense. Boucher scouting has an in-depth one game scout report and even summary on Culkin here.
Flames go back to their WHL roots with the Gordon pick. A winger with the Swift Current Broncos, Gordon scored 30 goals and 53 points in 66 games, good for second on the team. He's described as a forward who has a great shot and good physical play, but below average skating.
Matthew Deblouw, C - 186 overall
The Flames rounded things out with a 6', 185 pound center out of the UHSL, Deblouw put up 11 goals and 34 points for Muskegan. He was the 51st ranked NA skater by Central scouting at the end of the year.
Thus concludes the Flames 2012 entry draft. Calgary went heavy on defenders and players from Quebec and United States leagues/development systems, which is a big departure from previous habits under the former regime. Jankowski was the Flames lone high reward type choice in this draft, while the rest of the choices were defensible, but far more middle of the road.
It's apparent the Flames think there is some value in scouting Quebec and relatively minor feeder leagues like the USHL right now. We'll see if their intuition proves correct.
Underwhelming is the only word I can really think of right now. My opinion on most of the guys selected ranges from lukewarm to indifferent. Just seemed like there were better players available at every selection. I know the scouting staff is paid for their expertise and should have some idea what they're doing; but the same could be said for a lot of other scouting services, websites, bloggers, etc. Every choice made seemed to be at least a little off-the-wall.
Love love love the Coda Gordon pick-up.
Wait and see on the other two.
I'll reserve judgement until I can really gauge the guys picked by the Flames. Right now, I'm feeling pretty underwhelmed, but I didn't even know who John Gaudreau was last year, and the Flames looked like they've hit a home run with him so maybe this draft will be prove to be a good one for the Flames in the future.
wow, that a draft. i guess in five years we can all sit back and wonder what could have been. or be amazed at the foresight. as for today i am confused as hell as to the thinking of the brain trust. kent please help me digest this.
i cant for the life of me figure the flames selections out. the more i look the less i see.
I disagree with Jankowski being available at 42 when the Flames next picked, between Wisebrod and Button both saying that they had to take him at 21 and still were not entirely comfortable taking the risk from 14 to 21 and other reports on Sportsnet that a lot of people believe that he would have been long gone before 42.
And is it a risk? sure it's a bit of a gamble, but what prospect isn't, the leafs took a gamble on a kid coming off an ACL injury and hoping he can come back 100% from that, did Buffalo gamble on Grigorenko a little? Sure, the kid is apparently not 100% motivated. Everyone takes a calculated risk now and then. The Flames risk may be a little bigger, however their reward may be the biggest of the bunch.
As for all their eggs in one basket, I think they put all the Forward eggs in one basket, the other two forwards they got are nice complimentary peices, however they may never achieve above 3rd line status. The defenders they all choose however I think are are good bets as well. Sieloff has all the tools minus offense and the other two defenders remind me so much of Brodie that I am very hopefull, even if its just the three defenders that all become NHLers, thats more than fine, as long as you can turn kids into NHLers you are doing good.
As for Feasters poor assest management, he's tried to do the best with the piss poor assests he was handed, quite frankly with what he was left with, he's doing a great job with what assests he has. Could he have done a bit better with a few trades, certainly, however there were things beyond his control that he had to deal with, NMC/NTCs and the like, albotross contracts no one wants and so forth.
no one argues that losing those 2nd round picks doesn't sting. It does. But what did the Flames get out of those deals? In the Regehr trade, they lost the pick and an aging vet for a (surprisingly) superior, younger defenseman. Not the best trade in the world, but the Flames DID get some value. At the draft, they managed to get a (slightly) better 2nd round pick... and they still got their guy in the 1st round, even though they traded down.
As for the Cammalleri trade, you can (could) break it down into 3 components: Cammalleri/Bourque (clear win for Flames--Cammy is also a year younger than Bourque); 5th round/Holland (probably a win for the Habs, although the Flames managed to get a decent player with that pick. And Holland was nabbed in the 7th round); Ramo/2nd round (Ramo has been putting up some great numbers in the KHL the last 2 years. He's relatively young, but may be a starter in the NHL. It's nowhere close to a sure thing, but what do you usually expect to get out of a 2nd round pick? It's a wash (for now)).
Don't sleep on the USHL as a developmental league. If you include kids committed to play there next year, and grads who have been selected out of college they numbers show a league that probably has more fingerprints on players than any other in the world.
While the 1st round always skews towards the CHL, it would be interesting to see the total numbers from the whole draft keeping in mind the previous paragraph.
Other bonus of the league is that it moves players along rather quickly, whereas the AHL keep players at the same level of play for 3-4 years with regularity. Also, I'm under the impression a USHL product can play in the AHL at 19, while CHL players have to wait until they're 20 (which is why Canucks F Niklas Jensen is heading back to Europe this season to further his development as a 19-year-old).
@Ryan Pinder
"whereas the CHL" not AHL... dammit
We can gripe about the picks this year all we want, but no one (including Feaster himself) can really determine whether it was a success until we see how these guys develop over the next several years. That being said, I really thought they'd be taking Tervainen or Girgenson with either 14 or 21. I wonder if they still would have traded the 14 had Forsberg or Grigorenko been available?
I also think that the only past drafts we can judge Feaster on are those completed with the same, or similar, scouting group that he has now. When he was in Tampa that was a completely different group, and thus likely a completely different drafting focus. Plus, you live and you learn as the saying goes.
"but below average skating."
Blah, hate drafting weak skaters. That being said 30G scorers don't grow on tree's and certainly not that late in the draft. In the 6th round you don't find guys without any major flaws.
Think I would have preferred Emil Lundberg for pick #7. 6'4 Swede experienced playing against men... kinda profiles like David Moss.
June 23 2012, 12:21PM
I get all that. Nothing's guaranteed. Look at Jessiman.
That said, there was some obviously better option than the ones we chose. A lot of dice-rolls here. Including Jankowski.
To me, Grigensons is an NHL body with an NHL charater. I think the Sabres have a good one here. We passed on Maatta, then proceeded to pick a bunch of defenders... Can anyone help me understand this??
The direction of the team has certainly changed. I'll assume 8 of 10 Flames fans are skeptical, at best. We've endured three eyars of mediocrity and bad moves...
Did anyone draft Lundberg? If not, he should be invited to camp. Why he fell off everyone's radar is a mystery to me. Perhaps he's a wingnut, though all I read was about "character", like Girgensons...
Easy to type all this... A fan's right, I suppose. But Feaster's draft record at Tampa was poor. He may be the GM, but the GM makes the final call. The GM surrounds himself with scouts. Feaster feel short on both fronts in Tampa. Here's hoping we aren't the recipients of the same flawed strategies....
June 23 2012, 12:31PM
The Tampa Bay Lightning's Draft History. Note the Feaster years....
I've had time to cool down, and the Jankowski pick isn't... COMPLETELY horrible.
I also like the Kulkin pick. Good 4th round guy.
Taking Gillies in round 3 is inexcusable.
Should have taken Ebert in round 7. Culkin went ahead of Griffith... why?
er... that should say I also liked the Kulak pick. Kulak.
Monty Hall: Well Jay, you can have this new car, or you can take what's in this box.
Flames Fans: TAKE THE CAR! TAKE THE GOD DAMN CAR!!!
Jay Feaster: Well Monty, John Weisbrod and myself have thought long and hard about that box and all the potential that it may have...
Flames Fans:
Jay Feaster: ...We're going to take what's in the Box!
I would like to hear from fellow bloggers on FN:
In ranking, how does this draft stand in comparison to the past 4 drafts for the Flames? Who is a steal? Who is a bust? How would you grade this draft for the Flames?
As well, I would like to know who had the best draft class from 2012? For example, I went back to the 2007 draft and I was astonished to see that Calgary only have 1 player from their selections on this team. The rest of the picks are either traded or career AHLer's at best. In comparison I feel this draft might be heading the same way for Calgary five or six seasons from now.
Let me hear some opinions.
@everton fc
I don't see Lundbergh listed.
Also Cody Corbett went undrafted. He is one I think the Oilers might invite, although they are so full on the reserve list I don't know that they'd have room.
If Corbett were to try out for the Red Wings as a walk-on he'd probably become the next Girardi, just to dig the knife in a little deeper for Oil fans.
I recall mentioning here in FN when Feaster was first hired that I was not enthusiastic about his drafting history, nor that of his previous trades. I know this is just one day and last year he was being hailed as a out-of-the-box thinking, but I do honestly believe that his manangement will not serve the Flames well in the long run. Were I a Flames fan (knock on wood) I would be tremendously nervous about Feaster being an architect to any potential deal sending away Iginla or Kiprusoff.
@franko j
I think this Flames draft is probably in the lower half of the past four years, but by January that could change. 2011 will probably be the high water mark for another year.
As for which team did best, arguably the teams that had multiple first round selections are the ones to favour, but time will tell. Chicago looked to have some tremendous talent waiting in the wings with Skille, Beach, and so on, and it all basically fizzled out. What looks good today or even by next trade deadline may be worthless five years from now.
My money on who had the best draft, though, might be Buffalo or Pittsburgh, to answer your question.
June 23 2012, 02:13PM
If the Sabres first round picks pan out, which I am convinced they will... They might have just changed their franchise in a few years time.
Still can't figure out how Poulliot got picked before Maataa.
The Flames "should" inite Lundberg to camp. Ditto Corbett. But I know they won't.
This draft makes no sense for this team.
I think people are pegging to much on Feaster, from all the interviews and chatter, this sounds more like it was Buttons/Wisebrods draft rather than Feasters. It was Button/Wisebrod that went and saw Jankowski and made the pitch for him, not Feaster.
As well to many people here are putting to much stock into "big" names. I remember there was that Kirill Kabanov kid that was suppose to be the next Malkin/Ovechikin and was just as good and more skilled and the Isles picked him up in the 3rd round I believed and everyone was calling that great value. I think now he's a barely above average prospect. Theres a lot of hype going for some of these kids and it's easy to get lost in the hype train, but gotta pull back and evaluate the draft as a whole and step back and look what Feaster and company tried to achieve.
I don't mind the draft as a whole, they took a lot of "smart" kids, guys that are in the right position, that can read the plays and can make the smart plays. They are also kids that have some really good upsides if they pan out. And I mean you go just go back a few years and say look at 05-07 and outside of backland, they made a lot more of the "safe" picks, and see how well that worked out.
June 23 2012, 02:28PM
"Monty Hall: Well Jay, you can have this new car, or you can take what's in this box"
Yeah, but, what was in the box was the car he wanted all along...plus that 2nd rounder he lusted after.

"In ranking, how does this draft stand in comparison to the past 4 drafts for the Flames? Who is a steal? Who is a bust? How would you grade this draft for the Flames?"
Pretty tough to compare at this point. Draft results need to be judged after a period of years not hours. The Flames staff is happy with who they got and where. Even if they are a bunch of dopes (and I don't think they are) they have a better handle on the whole thing then most/if not all of us. Despite what I have read here over the last 24hr, Jankowski is a highly regarded prospect. Either he pans out, or he doesn't. I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 years time, at least one third of first rounders from this weekend do not have meaningful NHL careers. And that may include some of the "can't miss kids" the Flames passed up at pick 12. And it could include the kid they did take. Time will reveal all.
@everton fc
Even if they did invite Corbett and Lundbergh to camp, they wouldn't likely have room to sign them. They are sitting at 45 contracts right now, according to capgeek, and seem likely to add at least three in free agency, if not four.
Keeping in mind that most teams like to leave one or two spots open at the start of the season for waiver pickups and trades, that essentially means that the Flames are chock-a-block full of underperforming hockey players and as-yet-to-be-determined prospects.
I will be very interested, once this draft has been evaluated, to see if the Flames either rise or fall in the organizational rankings for prospect depth. I suspect the latter.
I think this draft has the potential to make them fall in the organizational rankings for prospect depth in the short term, but if players really live up to potential I could see it rise quite a bit.
@Colin S.
That is true, but that statement is also a great example of hedging your bets. ;-)
A lot of things would have to go right with this Flames draft class for the franchise to raise considerably in the rankings.
We shall see. Time can make genuises, and fools, of us all.
Buffalo had a good first 3 picks, but I think Montreal won the draft. Read their list, it's ridiculous. 4--FOUR--players who have appeared in 1st round mocks. 5 if you count Bozon (who I believe appeared in 1).
Galchenyuk, Collberg, Thrower, Bozon, Hudon. Vail isn't too bad either.
that is just ridiculous. I feel like the Sabres' draft takes a sharp drop after McCabe, though. But man, Girgensons AND Grigorenko.
Concur re: Buffalo and Pittsburgh. Both teams made out like bandits.
Buffalo got Grigorenko and duped Feaster into trading the pick, and then got Girgenson.
Pittsburgh got a surprisingly large return for a player who was never going to re-sign there once he became a UFA. They got Pouliot with their pick, who could be the offensive D-man they need (despite it looking like he's more just a forward than anything). They got an actual 3rd line center for their team. And then they got Maatta.
Buffalo and Pittsburgh made out like bandits. Carolina came in a close third, but it seems to me like they're in a "win now" mode, as if Jordan Staal would put them over the edge. Calgary got hosed by Feaster. Oilers did alright (*chortle*).
Also, if Feaster wanted a second so bad, he should've gotten ours back from Buffalo and used it to give an offer sheet to Weber or something. Thus making JBo expendable and replacing him with someone who plays in the Western conference and won't go dry on offense.
"Also, if Feaster wanted a second so bad, he should've gotten ours back from Buffalo and used it to give an offer sheet to Weber or something."
ANY offersheet to Weber would have cost 4 1st rounders (2nd rounders irrelevant), otherwise the Preds would have matched. Frankly, I think the offer sheet route is stupid. always have.

Tying all three threads back into one!
Grigensons and Grigorenko down the middle... if they pan out.. Incredible.
Montreal also did well. Real well. as did the Pens, though I'd rate the Habs draft right upthere w/the Pens.
I see no one saying the Flames did well. Nor do you read anywhere that the Flames were "crafty". Not a sentence... A line... Nor a word...
I'd say the Oilers getting Zharkov is a bit of a steal. The Flames may think they stole Jankowski... And maybe he turns out a stud... But the risk... The competition he is currently facing...
Feaster certainly loves to live on the edge!
As for this being Wesibrod's draft - clearly. But Feaster's the GM. He has some say. He trusts his people...
I don't. That simple.
Somehat off topic - I laughed when the Caps took Wilson as their second in the 1st. Very "McPhee". I bet Wilson carves himself a path into the NHL. McPhee did very well, I think. Poaching Ribiero was a decent move.
(By the way, Rex - pulled for the Oilers vs. the Canes back in the Cup final. We had to move from Calgary to Sherwood Park at the time - back in Calgary now. Listened to 1260 daily. Good stuff. Pulled for the Oilers, but found Ward, the local boy from the Park, a real decent guy to root for, as well!)
Leafs traded Schenn to the Flyers for Van Riemsdyk. WHAT A STEAL FOR THE LEAFS!!!! If Schenn is worth that much, how much is Bouwmeester worth??? I don't even care if we get a roster player back, give him to Minnesota or some middle of the pack teamm and get their first round pick, so next year when we barely miss the playoffs, we'll get two first round picks!!!
Unless that encourages Feaster to skip out on a Teravainen and a Maatta next year and take two "mark jankowskis"
Just read the Toronto Maple Leafs trade Luke Schenn to the Philadelphia Flyers for James Van Reimsdyk.
I would say the Leafs win this trade, I've watched Schenn a lot on HNIC and he's worse than Chris Butler!
I guess this means Philly is out of the Jay-Bo sweepstakes, teams want Jay-Bo and his 30 minutes but not at that cap hit.

Monty Hall: Well Jay, you can have this new car, or you can take what's in this box.
Flames Fans: TAKE THE CAR! TAKE THE GOD DAMN CAR!!!
Jay Feaster: Well Monty, John Weisbrod and myself have thought long and hard about that box and all the potential that it may have...
Flames Fans:
Jay Feaster: ...We're going to take what's in the Box!
I should point out that the best strategy for beating Monty Hall is to change your pick of doors after Monty reveals that one of them is empty.
Feaster swapped one chance for a hit for two chances, and still got the guy he wanted. That math should make sense everywhere.
As easy as it is to play armchair scout these days, it's worth remembering that Feaster is working with pros whose only job is to project these kids using the best and most advanced scouting tools available.
The proof will be in the pudding, but I'm betting Jankowski has a greater impact for the Flames than Maata will for the Pens.
The only ones that think Flames did great at the draft are the Flames management. I guess what else can they say, we screwed up. I wonder where Jankowski fit on the list, I think 3-4 players became available to us that there is no way Flames had to have considered ranked behind Jankowski. There is not intellectual honesty happening here. Knowing(maybe not saying it but knowing it) this team needs to rebuild, why didnt Feaster go after another 1st rounder, knowing his main guy will be available in the early to mid 20's?
This draft just telegraphed the thinking of this new regime, same ole #@&%, different pile & a little different texture. A direction of mediocrity is where we are headed for the 2012-13 season. Oh goody, we get to read the same frustrated posts for another year. Maybe I'll pull a Thomas & take next year off of Hockey. Maybe we'll get lucky & there will be a lockout next year.
@Rex, not "a lot" just 2 or even 3 guys have to go right for this draft class to be a sucess, if you can have a success rate of 30% or better on your picks that make it to the NHL thats not bad at all. Jankowski has great potential, we'll see if its NHL potential. The second rounder I think is an easy bet to make the NHL, even if just a 3rd pairing guy, but he has the entire tool chest to make it work.
There are a lot of guys that have potential at this point in the year and teams are always "winners". I bet Chicago felt like a winner getting Cam Baker at #3 in 2004, but look where he is now ;P.
I agree with everyone in this post, Montreal and Buffalo are the obvious winners of this draft today, however lets wait 5-6 years to see what a re-drafting would be like.

The Tampa Bay Lightning's Draft History. Note the Feaster years....
Feaster's probably the most hands-off GM in the league. He recognizes the fact that he doesn't have a hockey background, so I'm more willing to blame his scouts for draft-related failings than I would be for any of the other GMs (Sutter, for example, was basically the polar opposite of Feaster).
June 23 2012, 04:38PM
Agreed. Have you noticed he has quite clearly hung the Jankowski pick almost entirely on Weisbroad (and to a lesser extent on Button). Mentioned that this was JW's pick about 100 times in various interviews. Hopefully this means that JW gets a whole lot of credit for such a shrewd pick (and not fired) in about 3-4 years time. I'm cautiously optimistic.
@Colin S.
I meant that each prospect sounds like they will have to have more than a few breaks go their way, not that the Flames only need one or two to produce.
Jankowski will have to capitalize on his recent production and continue to develop. He will also have to make the jump to tougher competition. He's younger than most in his draft class which means he may have an as-yet unrealized ceiling, but it was a very risky move, and arguably a poor bet for a team that just needs to bring in talent, not try to outsmart every other GM.
Guys like Barker and Stefan are those anomalies that are often recited like stories of the bogeyman to out fear in the hearts of fans. There were more than a few scouts who, and I'm not just talking in 20/20 hindsight, thought that Barker had all the tools but none of the heart and drive.
And some teams just make really stupid decisions.
Hindsight allows us all to seem like genuises, but I think even the most optimistic Flames fan would say that Feaster and Weisbrod reached down to take Jankowski.

Well I think what Feaster did was awesome, and I'm still waiting for my invitation to join Flames mgt.
This is CLEARLY a new direction for the team. No more lumbering coke-machines who can't finish, but instead a focus on landing prospects with high ceilings.
If you uave to take some time away from complaining about the Flames, I'm ok with that.
@everton fc
Fine, if you want to make this easy... ;-)
Yeah, that Montreal middle could be some kind of fun. (you meant Galchenyuk, I believe, but I get where you are going there)
Yeah, I have noticed a glaring lack of anything about the Flames at the draft. Partially this is because of Toronto's trades, but I think to some extent the national press is holding off (if you can't say something nice...)
re: Jankowski - It says a lot that Oiler fans reacted to the trade down with a shudder and the ghost of M.A. Pouliot dancing in their heads. Maybe not, not all history is reruns, but were I a Flames fan I would be very, very upset about the drafting and, by extension, overall management of my team.
And Feaster hired Weisbrod. GMs let their scouts run the draft, for the most part, but very few are totally hands off. This screams Feaster, it is just that Weisbrod and Feaster think so much alike that I think it was Weisbrod's pick, and Feaster would have done the same.
Yeah, I really don't know what the Capitals are doing anymore. They give up Eakin and replace him with Wilson? You have character issues and are losing a troublesome player in Semin so you replace him with Ribeiro? I'm not sure what they were drinking at that table. Ribeiro is talented, but he's not a favourable character to have in the dressing room and even the refs are tuned out to him. Bad move.
That Canes final was decent. Seeing Weight win a Cup, even if he was a HS, was rewarding. Good man, good player. The Oilers ownership was out to lunch thinking they didn't have to rebuild after half the team vacated in free agency and trades.
As a heads up, out of touch ownership will feature prominently when I write about the Oilers' and Flames' rebuilds.
it certainly seems like they're going to be patient with Jankowski. Next year he goes to the USHL, which has made strides in recent years to becoming a league almost as good as the CHL (with, actually, more defensive coverage). The year after that, he goes to NCAA, which is a great league. Older, bigger, more skilled players at each step.
slowly but surely... I really hope this kid pans out, and not just because I'm a Flames fan (though that is an important factor, obviously).
June 23 2012, 05:40PM
@Rex Libris:"...but it was a very risky move, and arguably a poor bet for a team that just needs to bring in talent, not try to outsmart every other GM."
Risky? How so? He covered his bet by land g a 2nd pick for his scouting staff a that alone lowers the risk.
Yes his job is to bring in talent, and he did so. He could have taken Brendan Gaunce, a big, hardworking pivot with 3rd line upside. Sutter would have lived him. Instead they dropped down and selected a guy with much, much higher skill level, a guy his own scouts loved, and he got an extra pick to do it.
That isn't 'risky', that's prudent risk mgt.
Did they go 'off the board'? Sure. But I will bet they had good intel Jankowski wasn't going to be there in the late 2nd (or even get out of the 1st).
Was Hampus Lindholm s 'reach'? More than Jankowski is IMO, and Anaheim didn't finesse an extra pick out of their choice.
@Rex, but why should we be upset by the drafting, time will tell, but right now I'm very happy with the drafting, it's about 10 spots to high, he was ranked in the 40-45 range and had we got him at 30 something not many people who have thought we over reached, however a lot of teams want to make sure they have their guy. I mean the Lightning taking KoekKoek at 10 is almost as big or bigger reach than the Flames taking Jankowski at 21 ranther than 40. Then theres the Oilers taking a guy that could probably be had in the third round or even later that they took at 31 that was more than just reaching, thats cutting off you other arm raching.
The Flames reached, however if you have "your guy" and you can't find another partner to trade down or you think that waiting till your next pick the guy will be gone, you take your guy. The flames could have taken Girgensons and he could have been a nice 2nd maybe 3rd line center if he lives up to his potential, or take Teravainen and who knows he could have pulled an Erixon on us. Doesn't matter some times who you take, it sometimes just doesn't work. However with this guy the reward for taking the risk, is you may end up with a guy who tops out at 6'4"/6'5" and 200 pounds or so, who has all world, top line center skill, he may not make it to the NHL till he is 22 or 23, but if the Flames really did their job and he lives up to the potential they see, they may have found that #1 center, to bad Iggy will be retired by then.
The one thing I would like to know who was actually the real target for the Flames in round 1 ? Obviously Jankowski must have been # 2 or # 3 choice on their draft board. I know it is impossible to find out, but I would like to see Calgary's pick list and see how close they actually came to their original selections. I think that would be most intriguing indeed.
Im in that boat too, good post Colin.
I'm not going to sit here and say we did amazing. Im not going to say we did bad. This draft is one we will wait and see and go from there. No drafts are sure things good or bad.
I think as flames fans we are becoming very scared of anything that doesn't fit the norm. If our team doesn't do it the way Pierre McGuire or Doug Maclean says to do it we get scared. Well newsflash. If these guys were that good in the league, they would work in the NHL not trying to break a story.
We have all say back and demanded change all season long. Here it is. We may not like it, but we got change.
Oh and BTW, anybody who doesnt like it that Feaster isnt so involved should think about it. We all know he can't judge hockey talent effectively, at least he knows it as well. Only thing I hate is he says things like "looking back on this draft 10 years from now we have the best player in Jankowski." Feasters guarantee is worthless based off of his previous garauntees. Thats the only thing about this pick I hate.
June 23 2012, 08:36PM
@Emir:"" Feasters guarantee is worthless based off of his previous garauntees. Thats the only thing about this pick I hate."
Totally agree. I like the process, the strategy and the actual picks. I HATE the PR job.
The Flames are very, very confident in their scouting and their player development right now.
Their goal was to get players that they could teach. But I think they value hockey sense above all else because you can't teach it.
As for the draft as a whole, I really like the picks that got the Flames Coda Gordon and Brett Kulak. Jon Gillies is a Big Tall Goalie, but he'll develop. He's got four years potentially in a very good conference in the NCAA. He'll see a LOT of John Gaudreau and Bill Arnold next year.
June 23 2012, 08:40PM
@Franko J;"The one thing I would like to know who was actually the real target for the Flames in round 1 ?"
Me too. My suspicion is they would have creamed themselves to get Grigerenko, but there is no way to know. It's a deeply weird draft year with the volume of defensemen taken, not to mention the number of risers/sliders.
@Franko J
Jankowski was their guy, he was #1, I think other than Yakupov, he was the only guy whose jersey had a sewn on name plate(most others use velcro cause their guy might be taken). If you come with an already made jersey for the kid and not a generic with a velcro'd name plate, that kid was their #1 choice, because they had guys like Ceci, Teravainen and Girgensens that were available at 14 and those guys could have all gone top 10.
June 23 2012, 09:30PM

They came to the draft with Jankowski's name SEWN on the jersey. They came, they saw, they got their man. If you don't like it cheer for someone else and give them your negative vibe.

A bill that would mandate elder abuse reporting in Colorado is finally on its way to becoming law.
Senate Bill 111 requires individuals in certain professional fields to report known or suspected cases of abuse involving people age 70 or older.
The bill passed the House May 1 on a 56-8 vote, after it had previously breezed through the Senate.
Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, a House sponsor of the bill, said the legislation is "over 20 years" in the making.
"It's failed several times, but we've finally got it right," Schafer said during a recent House debate. "This demographic is as important to protect as it is with child abuse."
Schafer said the issue is of particular importance to Jefferson County, which has the highest numbers of seniors in the state. Fellow Jefferson County lawmaker, Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, carried the bill in the Senate.
Those deemed as "mandatory reporters" include professionals in health care, finance, social work and law enforcement. Those who fail to properly report cases of physical, mental, financial or sexual abuse within 24 hours could face a misdemeanor penalty.
Investigations of elder abuse cases in Colorado have increased by an average of 2 percent every year. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, about 11,000 elder abuse cases were filed in the state, with more than 4,700 of them requiring a law enforcement investigation, according to information from the General Assembly's Legislative Council.
Several previous attempts at passing similar legislation had failed, primarily because the money needed to support the effort wasn't there. That's not the case this year, with $5 million in funding for the measure having been appropriated into next year's budget.
Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, also a bill sponsor, reminded her colleagues that Colorado is one of only three states that doesn't have a mandatory elder abuse reporting law.
"That's pretty pathetic and the time is now," Stephens said during a recent House debate. "Financial abuse of seniors has become a huge issue. This is really, really critical."
Gov. John Hickenlooper is scheduled to sign the bill at the Seniors' Resource Center in Wheat Ridge on May 16, according to Schafer.

In this Dark Mission novella, Jonas Stone emerges from the shadows into his own story, and finally allows himself to have the same shot at love he's provided his friends.
Jonas Stone has been given his first independent operation: rescue the insurrection leader's imprisoned grandson from the Mission. Getting the job done means more than setting Danny Granger free it means staying with him while he heals. Staying too close, for way too long.
Danny is everything Jonas isn't: confident, optimistic, honest a man to be reckoned with. If only it didn't mean going against everything Jonas has planned. He's kept his secrets for years, hidden behind a mask no one can see through ... until now. Danny isn't the kind of man Jonas deserves. But he may be exactly the man Jonas needs.

Category name i.e.REVIEWS
Shrinking devices are taking to flash memory and solid state drives more commonly these days. They're more expensive and offer less space than the traditional hard drive. Having a portable hard drive has only become more of a necessity in this era, and hard drive makers have latched onto the content-consuming tablet and smartphone market with Wi-Fi-enabled hard drives that fill the memory void.
The slim GoFlex is a relatively small and lightweight hard drive that will fit into a larger pocket like the inside of a suit jacket and will easily stow away in a bag for the user on the move. The black, glossy finish with silver trim is standard hard drive material, and a removable cover on the USB 3.0 port keeps the streamlined look going.
The 500GB unit houses a Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n transmitter that streams to three separate devices flawlessly, though Wi-Fi is limited to streaming, throwing content onto and pulling content off the hard drive will need a hardline to a PC. Transfer speeds once the device is plugged in are very quick thanks to the USB 3.0 connection. You'll need USB 3.0 ports (which many new laptops are coming stocked with) to garner the best speeds, but it'll still run quick over USB 2.0.
These streams run without a hitch within any large room. The Wi-Fi signal won't match your typical home routers that are fitted with an antennae. Throw a wall or two in the way, and the signal dampens and videos and music can stutter. It's not network-attach, so you can't have it piggyback off your home network to deliver streaming across the whole house.
The device supports three connections at a time (even if you're streaming the same file) though the estimated battery life of five hours with a solitary streamer doesn't bode well for the trifecta. Here you'll want to have it plugged into a power supply, whether it be a USB or a wall socket. It comes with an in-car charger input that makes it perfect for long family road trips.
Media compatibility is limited by your device's media support. Streaming .AVI files to an Android device, for instance, would not work, while an old-model Symbian Nokia would pick up the file in the form of a download and a BlackBerry device would run it smoothly through the browser interface. Support is completely determined by your device here, so you'll want to be converting any iffy files before you start streaming.
The Seagate GoFlex Satellite really flexes its muscles against the other Wi-Fi hard drive competition from the likes of Kensington and Western Digital - though it's still not perfect, especially for $229 when less than half the price can buy double the storage. The Wi-Fi transfer functionality could be upped, battery life could be ramped up for practicality's sake, and some on-board video support might make it a more appealing buy. Perhaps as tablets progress, so too will these supplementary devices mature. But until then, this is one of the best options around for getting content onto your devices and sharing it on the go.

Leonda Wyman was born on Feb. 9, 1914 to Charles Augusta Wyman and Mary Viola Powers in Santaquin, where her father ran a little store. Her father sold the store when Leonda was very young and they moved to Wellington where he purchased a ranch raising sheep and cattle. Charles Wyman passed away at a young age after getting typhoid fever. One day in Wellington while riding on her brothers bicycle handlebars they were struck by a car. The only car that was in Wellington, at the time. Leonda lay unconscious for a long time. She wasn't expected to live, let alone walk again.
She married Joseph L. Hansen in 1929. They purchased a little farm in Carbonville. Together they raised three spoiled boys, one spoiled girl and one hard working nice youngest son. Who was the gopher and dopher, something like a slave for the rest of the kids.
They moved further north in Carbonville, buying Midway Service, motel and grocery store in 1955. They lived at the store until 1961 when J.L. Fondy nicknamed Buddy passed away. She then moved to Salt Lake City in 1963, with a little more than a suitcase.
She married Harry Morison and later divorced him. She married Lynn Carpenter and was very happy traveling with Lynn until his passing in 1990. She moved to Price in 1994 and then moved to Turnquist Retreat in 2001.

Craig,Thank you for sharing, I am going to give this a try. What variety of tomatoes are you using in your sauce? Marty
I've got 24 SM plants I grew from imported seed in the garden now. I'm happy with what we do with fresh tomatoes but I'll give your way a try...hopefully we have a bumper crop.
Franci ( grow Italian) seeds? Wish I had enough room for 24 plats of SM. Have you tried Pienolo vesuvio or principe borghuese? At least the former is listed for VPM, even though most use them for drying.
Pesticides are no bueno around here...we are organic gardeners. I don't know a lot about sevin, but from what little I've read it doesn't seem like it's that safe. Those horn worms are voracious aren't they? I hate them so much.....
I actually started 54 plants from seed and gave away all but 24. They are second gen seeds from another fellow FB member that got them...I know nothing beyond that they are SM seed from Italy. I wish I had a time machine....my great grandmother usually had a beautiful garden and I wonder if she had seeds from the old country.I haven't tried the two others you mentioned. What are they like?
I'd love to try some if you would send some seed at the end of the season. I've never grown a SM.
Um yeah, found its totally illegal to attempt to bring seeds into US. Won't be doing that. Be nice to find a source for these jarred Calabrian chiles so as to grow my own. Maybe I'll just use the not so hot pumpkin ones and add some cayenne for a bit of heat.
Have you tried to germinate any of the jarred long pod seeds (before you cook them). It's probably a longshot, but some chile seeds are very durable. I am definitely going to try the almost canning method this summer for some sauce.

Proprietary Jails
Other examples of proprietary malware
Nonfree (proprietary) software is very often malware (designed to mistreat the user). Nonfree software is controlled by its developers, which puts them in a position of power over the users; that is the basic injustice. The developers often exercise that power to the detriment of the users they ought to serve.
Here are examples of proprietary systems that are jails: they do not allow the user to freely install applications. The image of the iPrison illustrates this issue.
These systems are platforms for censorship imposed by the company that owns the system. Selling products designed as platforms for a company to impose censorship ought to be forbidden by law, but it isn't.
iOS, the operating system of the Apple iThings, is the prototype of a jail. It was Apple that introduced the practice of designing general purposes computers with censorship of application programs.
Apple used this censorship power in 2014 to ban all bitcoin apps for the iThings for a time. It also banned a game about growing marijuana, while permitting games about other crimes such as killing people. Perhaps Apple considers killing more acceptable than marijuana.
Here is an article about the code signing that the iThings use to lock up the user.
Curiously, Apple is beginning to allow limited passage through the walls of the the iThing jail: users can now install apps built from source code, provided the source code is written in Swift. Users cannot do this freely because they are required to identify themselves. Here are details.
While this is a crack in the prison walls, it is not big enough to mean that the iThings are no longer jails.
Apple has banned iThing applications that show the confederate flag. Not only those that use it as a symbol of racism, but even strategic games that use it to represent confederate army units fighting in the Civil War.
This ludicrous rigidity illustrates the point that Apple should not be allowed to censor apps. Even if Apple carried out this act of censorship with some care, it would still be wrong. Whether racism is bad, whether educating people about drone attacks is bad, are not the real issue. Apple should not have the power to impose its views about either of these questions, or any other.
More examples of Apple's arbitrary and inconsistent censorship.
Game consoles are jails, too: no game can run on the console unless the console's manufacturer has authorized it. Alas, I can't find a article to cite as a reference for this fact. Please inform us if you know of one.

Too short
"They run very short, and if you order 1/2 size bigger it might be too wide. They looked weird when I wore them."
