Dec. 15, 2010 stick8 1494 posts | How did you get your start in softball? I saw this on our local Michigan board and thought it might be interesting to put up here to generate a discussion. If your memory is still intact (lol) feel free to post the story or events which led you to play your very first slow pitch softball game. |
Dec. 15, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 60 2190 posts | Hey Stick8-I played my first slowpitch game at Ann Arbor Veterans Park in 1969. I grounded to the pitcher 4 times because I couldn't wait for a pitch after playing baseball and fast pitch for many years. Great idea for a thread!!! Lively chats and recalls forever!!!! (ooops, sorry) :-) |
Dec. 15, 2010 Marv19 Men's 60 480 posts | I started 35 years ago. It looked interesting to me so my partner in business and I formed a team. At our first practice I dug out my old metal cleats from HS. (big mistake) My first at bat I swung at a pitch and missed. My cleats stick but the left knee didn't. I heard a snap and couldn't straiten out my leg. Yep ... torn meniscus! Not a great start but once the knee healed I have been at it ever since. |
Dec. 15, 2010 ju25 Men's 55 167 posts | Just out of high school (1971) a bunch of guys put together a team. We played in Dearborn,Mi. with open fields,wood and lead pipe bats, steel cleats,blue jeans,harwood balls(lopsided by 2nd 0r 3rd inning)and collisions at home plate were legal. Learned how to hit to right field because the left fielders would run down everything. Bat had to be a minimum of 34oz. for the ball to go anywhere. Hit first over the fence HR at Powers field in Dbn. Heights(280' fences) |
Dec. 15, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | mm no one started playing in school,we played in grade school when i was a kid(late 50's,early 60's)also played in high school for gym class(grad 67).started league type play when i went in the military(69).didn't see a metal bat till 72(pacaf tourney in japan).can't remember the early balls we used back then. |
Dec. 15, 2010 outfielder Men's 65 59 posts | Got talked into playing in a church league, and after playing baseball in high school and college and using wooden Louisville slugger bats, the softball was bigger and supposedly easier to hit but the wooden baseball bats weren't doing so well, barely getting it to the grass, then came the BOMBAT MEATHEAD, 38 ozs of pure aluminum, wow, the ball then made it to the left fielder. Had one Bombat that got curved on the end and I would turn it one way to hit to right and the other way to hit to left. All the writing wore off but, hey Mad dog, it wouldn't break. Fences were 250 and it took a shot to get one out. Those were the days. |
Dec. 15, 2010 goforit 97 posts | After college i played 2 years of baseball and then one year of fastpitch (got bored standing around). Started playing slowpitch in the early 70's til 1988 when i stopped playing. Ran into a friend coming back from the Vegas Worlds and he told me about Senior Softball. Started playing Senior ball in 2005, its great still running into guys i played with or against in the 70's and 80's. Can't say enough about how much fun this game is. |
Dec. 15, 2010 surf88 Men's 65 977 posts | I started playing slowpitch ball in 73' on Hilton Head Island. Played for Sea Pines with some pretty good boys. Moved to North Myrtle Beach in 74' and played there with the league in N. Myrtle. Played for Willards Fireworks. Played a tournament in Shallotte, N. Carolina in 75'against a prison team. They arrived in a school bus and the guards got off first with shotguns. They unshacked the prisoners and we got it on. I had to camp out on the left field fence the whole game. Those guys were monsters! Played in So. Carolina until moving to Colorado and did all the Triple Crown and U-Trip tourneys throught the 80's and 90's. Played first senior tournament in 99' Went to Denver to play in the Colorado Senior Olympics. We put together an awesome team with Doc Dimarco, Denny Cheatam, Greg Broeckelman, Mike Massong, etc. We scored 112 runs and gave up 6 in the tourney. Very thankful to still have the ability to play ball with a bunch of good guys and the comraderie is invaluable. Ed |
Dec. 15, 2010 stick8 1494 posts | I started off on kind of a fluke. A buddy of mine called me up and needed a lift home from the park he was playing at because his car got stolen. At the time I had no knowledge of what slow pitch softball was. So when I walked into the park to find him I saw all these fat, out of shape beer belly guys with shorts riding up their rear ends and knee high socks trying to imitate ballplayers. I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen. My buddy asked me to play because they were always short guys. At first I laughed at him then when he said their sponsor buys all the beer and food I joined. My debut: 0-3 with 3 pop ups to the pitcher. |
Dec. 15, 2010 JBTexas Men's 65 349 posts | started in 1968 first year in the Air force. played base team at Wright-Patterson, Dayton Ohio. and Mad Dog we used Dudley Blue Dots in the day. Early 70's at Hulbert Field, Ft. Walton Bch Fla was first big time league, Smith Pubing, Pub. Played Warren Motors, Little caersar out of Virginia Bch. and Jiffy Club in Tourneys. |
Dec. 15, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | ah jbt,you know what pacaf was/is then,LOL.. and stick,look at ya now...:):) surf,were you big enough to pick up those old metal bats,they were pretty heavy ya know...LOL outfielder,yeah most were about that,as they were built mostly for fast pitch.i could hit one out every now and again on those fields with wood. |
Dec. 15, 2010 oldnslow 19 posts | Was introduced to slowpitch in 1970 as a result of being hired by NY Telephone. My 1st steady job after getting out of the Marines in 1969. I only went looking for a job after I walked into a Triumph showroom and tried to buy a gorgeous red convertible Triumph TR4A. When we got to the part about where do you work - And I said I didn't really - Just collecting VA checks - The salesman said go get a job and come on back!! It was the start of a beautiful relationship. Me and softball I mean. Lost track of the salesman. |
Dec. 15, 2010 DoubleL10 Men's 65 879 posts | My uncle was a foreman at Fuller Brush Company in Atlanta in the '60s. I started playing Industrial League ball in the summer of 1964 and got hooked. Open fields at Piedmont Park. Teams in our league used rovers and I learned how to hit gap shot in the outfield and could run all day. Of course, I was only 17 and quite a bit lighter then! My first experience with good softball occured when I moved to Virginia in 1972 and tried out for and made a team called Federal Wrecking. That was a very good team but those were the days of only one team from each Region qualifing for the Nationals. We came in second to Greenbelt Shell. Had some great leagues out at Cabin John Park and Greenbelt Park back then. |
Dec. 15, 2010 BruceinGa Men's 65 3109 posts | I went to a neighbor's game when I was 22. I thought "I can do this". It was about 3 years before I found a team, a modified slowpitch team. We played in a City of Atlanta league, playing in Piedmont Park and other parks as LL did. This was probably 1973. Played 2 years there, sat out a year and then played industrial slowpitch with a Southern Bell team and then for some A teams around Atlanta. We played Howards, Dave Carroll, and other big teams in the SE. In 1983 and the following 8 years I played with Rehoboth Presbyterian Church, a perennial powerhouse in church softball. With them I played in the Smoky, Twitty Classic, Southeastern and many more big tournaments in the south. |
Dec. 15, 2010 Capt Kirk 509 posts | While stationed at Bergstrom AFB (1967-1968) in Austin, TX and I was assigned to the 727 TAC Squadron, we didn't have much to do, start playing pickup games at lunch. While in Turkey played fast pitch in 1968-1969, had a 11 yr break and starting playing in our industrial league (Lockheed) in Sunnyvale, CA (our team was the Traitors), also played at Twin Creeks Softball Complex in Sunnyvale, CA until 1996. I retired in 2006 and moved to the San Antonio area and starting playing senior softball in 2007 in the San Antonio Senior Softball League, currently I am managing/playing with the Texas Tornados (Mens 60AAA team). |
Dec. 15, 2010 ShaneV Men's 55 394 posts | After little league, Babe Ruth and High School hardball, didn't play in college. Summer of '77 was asked to play a rec game with a bunch at Central Washington University. It was fun and I missed playing. After graduation I hooked up with a friend in my home town in '78 and played nearly every year since, men's & some coed. I remember swinging an XBH that I think was 38 oz, in the 80's. Hit my first one out (280') with an aluminum bat in the 80's, next one (290') with a Freak in the 90's. Really loved the composites when they came out but never understood bat restrictions. Why not use the best technology made? And now we do. I hit a few out (300') this year and my first ever walk-off. I like the idea that anyone who can get the right technique can experience the feeling. Doesn't mean I will ever be considered a home run hitter. Been playing senior since 2005. ShaneV |
Dec. 15, 2010 Airbosn Men's 65 323 posts | Back in Brooklyn, NY in the late fifties we had stickball season, baseball season, softball season, etc. My relatives and I played some kind of ball all year long. Played fast and slow pitch during my military career around the globe. Never stopped playing, however, at 54 started playing senior ball. |
Dec. 15, 2010 RIK56 Men's 60 134 posts | i started late in slow pitch,i was at schofield barracks hawaii in 1979 and played with the company team,i was a real good outfielder but could not hit worth a crap. |
Dec. 15, 2010 garyheifner 481 posts | In 1961, I was running during the summer getting in shape for my high football season. I stopped to watch a little of an adult park district 16" softball game. One of the teams was a man short and a guy said aren't you the 4 hitter on the high varsity baseball team. I said yes, played that night and now 5 decades later along with what has to be well over a $100,000 later, the beat goes on!!!~!~ |
Dec. 15, 2010 outfielder Men's 65 59 posts | Hey guys, now this is what this site is all about, great posts, very interesting seeing what brought us all together in this wonderful sport. Thanks for the memories. |
Dec. 15, 2010 The real deal Men's 60 67 posts | After college baseball and two years of semi-pro league, I started playing fast pitch softball - what a blast! Still can't believe the things some of the pitchers could do with a pitched ball. After moving to CA., slow pitch was the only thing available. A little anti-climactic at first, but now it's one of the joys of life! Currently playing 2 nights a week city league (one of those with my 3 sons) in addition to senior ball. Let's play two! |
Dec. 16, 2010 CallaVett Men's 50 53 posts | I started playing softball in 1980. I was in the Air Force stationed in Germany, most of my unit was in the field for maneuvers and someone stopped by my work section looking to pick-up players for the intramural league game that night. I showed up in jeans and tennis shoes, I borrowed a glove from another guy on the team. I went 4-4 and hit a gland slam (open field no fence), after the game the coach asked me to play on a regular basis. I went and bought a glove and cleats the next day. I didnt hit another HR until 1984; I had the infamous warning track power until 2000 when I started to buy quality bats instead of the K-Mart specials. Steve |
Dec. 16, 2010 Capt Kirk 509 posts | I played on a coed team in the 90's with my wife, and daughters, and my sister-in-law, just great. I wish we coud do it again. |
Dec. 16, 2010 hitman Men's 65 332 posts | Watched my uncle play travel ball when I was young and finally got to play at Sunday School pinic in early teens. Didn't have a high school baseball team and there was nothing above Little League at the time. Gym classes played when it was warm enough. Played some college intermural and then wen to work and Company had 20 fastpitch teams. By 1970 everything switched to slow pitch and stayed. No lights on fields, unlimited arc and you learned to hit or sit!!!!!! Started Senior ball in 2002. The Hitman |
Dec. 16, 2010 Mario Men's 50 450 posts | Started playing unlimited arc back in 1981. The team that always won the leauge was the team who had a pitcher who could throw strikes that went as high as 25-30 in the air. You had to learn to go backside. From there started playing tournaments for a local C team. After moving to Indiana in 1982 I played Industrial for Borg Warner in Muncie In. After that a B team picked me up. Played with them until 1986 when New Construction picked me up. With New we played all the Major NIT tourneys. After New, Starpath out of Monticello Ky. picked me up. Then we became Starpath/LE-ALCO. Lots of fun playing with some of the best players in the late 80's and early 90's. Started playing Senior in 2010. |
Dec. 16, 2010 JBTexas Men's 65 349 posts | Capt k, still got you, played last year on a Co-ed team in UC with my daughter, son-in-law, and two grandsons and one grand-daughter. If my two boys had been in town we almost had our our team. Unlimited arc beings back great memories of three great years(1973-76) playing in Delaware with the Bower Beach Boys, boy could we make hitters look bad with that arc. |
Dec. 16, 2010 frampton Men's 55 55 posts | My first year in college a friend worked at a sporting goods store that had a team, so I hooked up with them. (A local HS baseball coach was on the team, we used to have 2-3 hour practices, taught me lots of great techniques.) That was 1973, played in Oakland leagues throughout college and law school. In 78 or so started playing in a pickup game in the Berkeley hills, which lasted well over 20 years in various incarnations, that got me with a new group of guys and Berkeley leagues. Some tourneys in those days, though when my daughter was born I limited it to league play, had to choose volleyball tourneys in the winter, was just a better volleyball player. Got into fastpitch around 1980, played that through '95 when my swing was just too slow to play in A leagues. Played less and less slow pitch too after that, at least, until I started playing senior ball in 2005 with some guys I played with and against back in the day. |
Dec. 16, 2010 DRob 34 posts | Interesting topic. I started playing fastpitch right out of high school baseball in 1964. Played for my church team for 3-4 years while switching from 3rd base to pitcher. Fastpitch was beginning to die out around Indpls around 1970. By then I had become a policeman and was pitching for the police department fastpitch team when we decided to go to a police slowpitch national tournament in Dayton, OH. 80 teams! We were clueless and had no idea we could play 4 outfielders? We ended up doing poorly but switched to slow pitch anyway. I played on and coached that team for several years before I hooked up with a 50+ team. Turning 65 next year and still at it. Interesting note: I played fastpitch against my high school basketball coach. Guy named Marvin Wood. He was also the coach at Milan when they beat Muncie Central for the Indiana state championship in 1954. The story was retold in the movie "Hoosiers". I still play ball with one of the guys who was on that basketball team. Roger Schroder. Nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. Roger started playing in our senior league with a bunch of guys he had coached on a local high school baseball team. Mario, I think there are several guys still playing around Indy who played for New Cosntruction. |
Dec. 16, 2010 oldnslow 19 posts | Hey Outfielder - Ditto your comment!! "Hey guys, now this is what this site is all about, great posts, very interesting seeing what brought us all together in this wonderful sport. Thanks for the memories" Hey Stick8 - Great idea for a post!! |
Dec. 16, 2010 softball4b Men's 60 944 posts | My Father, did not believe in sports. I worked everyday after school on either the farm or my Uncles feed store. When I went to college I decided to play football, during the off season I tried my hand at baseball. It was an all black team with 2 token white guys, 1971 in Southern Arkanasas, insert stereotypical comments here. After practice one day Jim, the other white guy, asked me if I wanted to play softball. My baseball swing was controlled and my softball swing was different. I did not know you werent suppose to hold it like an axe and swing as hard as you could. Played a double header and hit 4 HRs, no fences, I could run back then. My BB career was done, yeah softball. Two things I remembered, so many bugs you honestly could not see the lights themselves and I was swinging so hard I grunted everytime, have not stopped since. First 15 years of softball, my nickname was Grunt. |
Dec. 16, 2010 surf88 Men's 65 977 posts | Great posts. Read every one. If anybody remembers playing ball along the Coast of Georgia, So. Carolina and No. Carolina, way back when, give me a holler. I played from Savannah on up to Wilmington. Hey Mad Dog, I remember those heavy aluminum bats. Still have a couple in my stash. Surf |
Dec. 16, 2010 southpaw Men's 60 945 posts | My first game of softball was in the summer of 1970 in the Republic of Vietnam. I was the armorer ofr C troop, 2/1 Cav. We had stopped for lunch next to a huge field. After our C-rations, a few guys started throwing a ball around. Someone yelled, "Let's play a game." A few had gloves and some broken or cracked bats. Half-way through the game, I was in center field and a long, high fly was hit my way. As I was running back, the ball still going up, an enemy mortar round hit behind me. Ball kept sailing, I ran the other way! End of game--back to the war. |
Dec. 16, 2010 Joncon 328 posts | I played a couple years of Little League when I was 9 and 10, then took a short break. When I was 45/46, my son asked if I wanted to play league softball. 13 years later and I still really enjoy the game. |
Dec. 16, 2010 BruceinGa Men's 65 3109 posts | Surf, I played in Savannah in a big church tournament in 85 or 86. We played at the 4 field complex on the right before you get to Paulson. |
Dec. 17, 2010 leftyfalcon Men's 65 158 posts | Started playing in 1968.Had to be 18 in Cajun Country to play adult softball. Joe Lefty Falcon |
Dec. 17, 2010 Capt Kirk 509 posts | Southpaw, I served in Vietnam from Aug. 1969 to Aug. 1970 at Vung Tau Air Station, I have some great memories but none of them were played on the softball field. |
Dec. 17, 2010 surf88 Men's 65 977 posts | Hey Bruce, I left Hilton Head winter 81' for Colorado. My buds thought I was crazy leaving the beach and headin to the mountains. Been here ever since. Played in Savannah up until 81'. Ed |
Dec. 17, 2010 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | Capt Kirk........had a 3-day R&R in Vung Tau in '69. Merry Christmas to all. |
Dec. 17, 2010 southpaw Men's 60 945 posts | Captain Kirk, I was in Nam from Jan. 3 until early December. Got an early out for Christmas. Orders actually came on the day before I was to head to Australia for an extra R&R. Had already met my wife in Honolulu earlier in June. That was the only game of softball I played in Vietnam, for sure! Glad you and Salio2K made it back. |
Dec. 17, 2010 lazer larry Men's 50 95 posts | RIK56 are sure you weren't in the brigg when you learned to play. If you hit like crap then you turned that completely around 180* now you hit the crap out of it. I started in intermural league in high school it was fast pitch but we had 2 of the only 3 pitchers in a four team league. All of our guys had to adjust our baseball swings. LazerLarry |
Dec. 17, 2010 razer 15 posts | I started in 1970 in Massachausetts where I played a lot of baseball, and played softball on sunday mornings with my brother in law. I moved to Maine in the spring of 71 and looked around for some baseball. There was none. I looked around for some softball and the only leagues were 2 hours away. I put an ad in the local newspaper to start a league. We had 4 teams the 1st year, 8 the next, then 16. We had as many as 40 teams some years. That was pretty good for a ruraul area. My kids grew up watching and they now play. The last 10-12 years I have played softball with my sons and get together every summer for one tourney in Maine. Thats my story. |
Dec. 18, 2010 ChiPrimeMarty Men's 55 77 posts | Grew up on the outskirts of Chicago, and from 4th grade on spent most summer days playing pick-up games of 16" softball at the local park. Got good enough so that I was usually the youngest kid playing with the older guys. First organized competition was 1972 when I was a 14-year-old playing in a 15-19 year-old league. First taste of 12" was intramurals at SIU in Carbondale, spring of '76. Played Chicago Park District 16" 1980-92. Started playing 12" regularly in '85 and have been ever since. |
Dec. 18, 2010 lazer larry Men's 50 95 posts | ChiPrimeMarty, I was at SIUC in 77 & 78 lived in the north most of the towers 7th floor and had a bunch of friend that lived in Lewis Park. Got to love the ice cold beers at Pinch Penny Pub and the girls at Peppermint Lounge. I travel thru there on business every now and then, man has it changed. I had most of my courses at Carterville at the Student Tech College. My roommate was from Chitown his name was Steve something, but claimed his dad did something with Playboy. Might have been hot air. Do you play with the Windy City Boys, if so i might know you. I play with Coors Light, first base and some outfield Lazer Larry |
Dec. 18, 2010 ChiPrimeMarty Men's 55 77 posts | lazer larry, I'm with Chicago Prime 50AAA. At SIU I spent 1 semester at Schneider tower but mostly lived off-campus. Most of my classes after soph year were in the Design Dept blue barracks east of the tracks not far from the towers. Had good times at a lot of the bars, including PK's. Really liked Shawnee National Forest and state parks like Giant City & Ferne Clyffe. Still go down there every few years to hike & camp. Used to go down for the huge halloween party on Illinois Ave, but those days are long gone. |
Dec. 18, 2010 RIK56 Men's 60 134 posts | I forgot about my 16" days in the chicago burbs,played when i was 12 or 13,baseball coach used to not like us playing that.big heavy wood bats and no gloves lol. |
Dec. 18, 2010 Sloball39 Men's 60 14 posts | I played basketball in high school and college, but when I went to Viet Nam in 1970 there was nowhere to play. I was lucky to be assigned to the Americal Division (not a grunt). On Sunday afternoons, my unit would play other units in softball for kegs of beer. After Nam, I was stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland. They had an 11 field complex and I was hooked. |
Dec. 18, 2010 ill41 Men's 60 11 posts | Graduated from high school in 1967 went to work for Caterpillar in Joliet.Tried out for there fast pitch travel team.Traveled all over Northern Illinois great times only lasted 2 years,then got into slow-pitch unlimited arc.Still play in the 18-35 leagues in the Joliet Park District. Paul |
Dec. 18, 2010 Mr. Manassas 242 posts | I played baseball and wrestling in High School but went to college and wrestled. When I came home after my freshman year a friend asked me to play on a slowpitch softball team. When I went to the first practice I thought that I would dominate the leaque...I was their worst player...no patience...and got mad at myself so I decided to work on it...AND now 40 years later I am still playing... |
Dec. 19, 2010 Fastsam Men's 60 56 posts | After playing baseball at St. Mary's College (Moraga Ca.) Contra Costa College (San Pablo Ca.) and In the A's Org. I sat out from any contact with baseball or softball for five yrs. Then a friend of mine who played on a coed team and invited me to come to one of there practices to drink some beer and have a few laughs with the ladies.. I had to swing although I hadn't picked up a bat in five years. After a few swings and hearing the oh's and ah's from the ladies I was hooked. That was 1982. Have not missed a season since. |
Dec. 19, 2010 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | Due to very strict/religious parents, I was never allowed to play any sports; had no glove/bat/or ball. Would take a broom handle & hit rocks all the time. When I was 26/1976, I bought an old BB wooden bat & was up at a ballfield on a Sunday hitting with some couples, when I was discovered; played a few games & moved out of the state; did not start playing again until 79. Been playing ever since. Was discovered for SSB by Winkey of Faith Electric in 1999 @ Al Bishop Park while playing a Church Tourney; had no clue that SSB existed. Its been fun. Tater50 John (member SSUSA/SPA for 10 years) |
Dec. 19, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | i see some of you didn't know about SSB,till someone seen ya and asked if ya would like to play.i'm just the opposite,i used to watch them in sacramento,at tahoe park(they played before we did,also practices),back in the mid 80's,and i think thats where it all got started basically.i finally got into a 40 league(was 41) in folsom,ca,to start my SSB play in 1991(2 years).then had to move(civilian working for the military)to puget sound to work for the navy and played 40+ ball in bellingham,wa for 2 years.agian moved to italy where i played no senior ball (for 5 years)but played squadron,came back to the states in nov 2000 and got onto my first 50+ team and been playing ever since. |
Dec. 19, 2010 Ho 263 posts | I used to play with Joe Dirtwhen I was a kid, he was a year behind me in school...so that makes me older than dirt. I feel like the ancient mariner because I started playing softball 3,000 games (a fact) ago as a 15-year in the adult fast pitch leagues as a short stop. Ended up playing seven nights a week with six different teams (church, industrial and open)at different positions (SS, Catcher,1b and 3b). I, also became very religious back then. They had a rule if you played for any church you had to attend twice a month. One summer I played for a catholic team, a methodist team, a nazarene and a baptist team. Ending up going to mass on Saturdays, sunday school(Baptist) and church (Methodist)on Sunday's and camp meetings on Wednesday night (Nazarene). Starting as a 15-year old, I used to play 60-to-80 games a year until the legs went and I switched to slow pitch.Knew it was over at age 45 in fast pitch when I tried to steal second twice in a game and was thrown out by ten feet both times. Starting to pay the price now (bad knees, torn shoulder tendon, etc) for all those 3,000 games but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Ho |
Dec. 21, 2010 Corky Men's 55 451 posts | Started playing "A" Industrial with a bunch of guys from the factory....had a liquor store across the street that provided our usual 40oz for lunch and a sponsorship. |

Dec. 22, 2010 juice3 5 posts | Started when I came back home after my run as search and rescue/rescue swimmer in the Nvay. I missed my window for baseball and a friend said come on we need one more for league. I thought no way Im a baseball player, but I went. That was 21 years ago and Ive been hooked ever since. |
Dec. 23, 2010 samg 32 posts | I grew up in the same area as softball4b. I played baseball and like softball4b had to find ways to get to practice. I was a natural at the sport and loved it. I joined the army out of high school and they did not have baseball so softball was as close as it came. Unlike softball4b, I did not have the size or strength so I had to learn quick to place the ball and usually would get a double out of it. Over the years I learned size is not all that is needed, after many laps running for not hitting a deep fly ball, and I now hit for power and can place hit most pitches and only 210 lbs compared to my 170 frame I use to carry. I am new to the senior softball league, "rookie", and even had to prove myself to a team here in Ohio before I could get a thumbs up to play with them. I thought that was actually pretty neat, :-) since most teams would call me to play. I am looking forward to playing in the senior level of play and hopefully one day, play with softball4b on a team or at least get the opportunity to play against him. :-) sorry bro, but you have to admit it does put a smile on your face. |
Dec. 23, 2010 JamesLG 328 posts | Back in the late 60's my Dad and I went to watch the Heidelburg team play in Tacoma and that is all it took for me to know that game was for me. I was never a big guy but could hit any ball including a golf ball a long way. I struck out way too much in hardball so slowpitch was right up my alley. I have only missed one year (1984) that is the year I quit drinking Merry Christmas to all. Thanks: James |

Genesis of the Migrant Binational Program.
Dorn, Arlene R.
Through a personal narrative, this chapter describes the history of the Gomez Farias-Pajaro Valley Project, which was renamed Project MEDIR and is now known as the Binational Program. The Binational Program is administered by the Migrant Education Programs in 10 U.S. states and all 31 Mexican states and the federal district of Mexico City. This chapter is based on the chronological journals of Arlene Dorn, an elementary teacher who served as catalyst for the project's development. In 1976, Dorn took a sabbatical from Pajaro Valley Unified School District (California) to study in Mexico. At the time, approximately 20,000 Mexican students traveled between Mexico and California each year as their families pursued work as agricultural laborers. These students were never in Mexico in September at the start of the school year and therefore, were denied enrollment in Mexican schools when they returned to their hometowns in November. Dorn visited Gomez Farias, the hometown of many of her district's students; found administrators and teachers, there and in Mexico City, who were sympathetic to the plight of the international migrant students; arranged lines of communication between Mexican and California administrators; helped to develop the process of communicating students' academic records between schools in California and Mexico; and located private foundation funding to expand the program. In 1984, the project was institutionalized within the California Migrant Education Program. (SV)

If you are seeking a world-class educational experience within a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville is the place for you. Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
The U.S. Patriot Act requires MK/International Students at Cedarville University to report a change of address to the office of international student services within 10 days of moving.
INA Section 265(a) reads, "Each alien required to be registered under this title who is within the United States shall notify the Attorney General in writing of each change of address and new address within 10 days from the date of such change and furnish with such notice such additional information as the Attorney General may require by regulation."
If you are an alien physically present within the U.S., then you are required to be registered (e.g., to have an I-94 card or similar document confirming status), and you are required to make address reports as specified in the law.
"The term 'alien' means any person not a citizen or national of the United States." That definition is very direct and clear. You acquire U.S. citizenship by being born in the U.S. or to U.S. parents or by naturalizing. You become a national of the U.S. by being born in one of the outlying possessions of the United States or to parents who are nationals of the U.S. If you have F, J, H, O, TN, or LPR ("green card") status or any other immigration document allowing you to be in the U.S., then you are considered to be an "alien" under the legal definition.
The law is the law, and even though CIS may not have enforced it in the past, Congress and law enforcement are now very interested in aliens in the U.S. It is a good idea to know your responsibilities and comply with the law.
During an academic semester, you can fulfill your address reporting obligation by completing the Cedarville University Change of Address Form and mailing it to the Cedarville University registrar or dropping it by the registrar's office within 10 days of your move.
During the lengthy school breaks, you should also report your address on form AR-11. DHS-CIS posts this form on its website. It loads in Adobe as a fillable form, so you may fill it out online, print it, and mail it to the office of international student services at Cedarville University. You must sign the form. When you complete your address report, please print an extra copy and send it to the office of international student services at 251 N. Main Street, Founders Hall, Room 305, Cedarville, OH 45314. That will help us keep your address current here as well.
INA Section 266(b) states, "Any alien or any parent or legal guardian in the United States of any alien who fails to give written notice to the Attorney General shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not to exceed $200 or be imprisoned not more than 30 days, or both. Irrespective of whether an alien is convicted and punished as herein provided, an alien who fails to give written notice to the Attorney General, as required, shall be taken into custody and removed in the manner provided by chapter 4 of this title, unless such alien establishes to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that such failure was reasonably excusable or was not willful." Willful failure to register is punishable by imprisonment not to exceed six months and a fine of not more than $1000 or both.
In short, if you make a choice or decision not to report, a willful act, then DHS-CIS has the authority to charge you with a crime, fine you, imprison you, and then deport you. In practice DHS-CIS has not used this violation alone to deport someone, but DHS-CIS can add this to a list of violations, such as overstay or unauthorized work, when they are building a case for deportation.
The CIS, through the office of the Attorney General, has the authority to forgive such failures provided the failure to report "was reasonably excusable or was not willful." That means that you need to report properly and promptly, but that DHS-CIS will generally not take an action against you just because you missed a deadline or didn't know you needed to report, provided that you act in good faith and send the report once you know you have to report or realize you have missed the deadline.
Members of Congress and CIS and other government agencies have indicated to schools that they want to know where aliens live, including students, so that they can find them if necessary.
There could be many reasons. The most common, of course, have to do with events, such as terrorist acts, that cause the government to launch investigations.
Many students on campus without a mobile phone use a prepaid phone card to make long distance calls. A debit/credit card is required to purchase cards from the Internet. Walmart, Target, and Meijer sell prepaid cards at the checkout counters.
The University does not endorse or specifically recommend the services of the companies listed below. This list is intended to be a resource for your evaluation of multiple phone card service providers. It is the responsibility of the student to understand the terms and conditions associated with these services, including understanding all surcharges, connection fees, maintenance fees, billing increments, and expiration dates for unused minutes.

Mission Statement
Recognizing that God has blessed us to be a blessing, the New Baptist Church Food Pantry serves as a vehicle to share the overwhelming abundance God has showered on us with those in need in our community. Emergency food is shared with love and respect to those who come for assistance. It is our intention that they receive not only food for their physical hunger, but generous portions of kindness and grace to feed their spiritual and emotional hungers. We believe the words of Jesus that this is one way we can respond directly to God's love for us:
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in."
Matthew 25:35
Hours of Operation
Tuesdays from 10am to 4pm
Food Pantry volunteers work to stock shelves in food storage room.
Referrals - Who Do We Serve
Information and Referral Agency Referrals
- Commonly known as I & R, the Information & Referral Agency located on the third floor of the downtown Cabell County Public Library, serves as a screening agency for our regular participants in the Food Pantry. They provide families and individuals with a voucher which they bring to us.
Emergency Assistance
- Families within our church who are in need are provided food at their request. Families outside our church are provided assistance the first time and then they are advised to visit I & R for a voucher so that they may receive a full order of food.
USDA Donated Foods Assistance
- USDA Donated Foods (Commodities) are provided to any person who expresses their need for food. This is a new guideline issued through The Emergency Food Assistance Program and the United States Department of Agriculture based on the "self declaration" clause - meaning you take their word for it. The purpose of this new guideline is to prevent those who are homeless or unemployed from going hungry.

Our Food Pantry receives food and funding from a number of sources:
Donated Funds
Designated funds received in offerings to the church
Budgeted funds allocated in the church budget

Buick Straight 8 designation
I have had a contact offer me a Buick straight eight with a designation of "FB320". Does anyone know if this is the same as the Fireball 320 ?? Please advise.
Sponsored Links | |||
fb 320
http://www.carnut.com/specs/specs.html The Buick Straight-8 engine (Fireball 8) was produced from 1931 to 1953 and sold in Buick automobiles. Like many American automobile makers, Buick adopted the straight-8 engine in 1931 as a more powerful alternative to the previous inline-6 engines. However, unlike most other car makers at the time, Buick had been using a valve-in-head OHV overhead valve design or I-head since its inception and continued this practice in their inline-8 designs. The engine was sold in different displacements depending on the model of car and the year and was constructed upon two distinct ( possibly more ) block castings. The smaller displacement versions internally resembled the inline Chevrolet straight six, with additional cylinders. The large block version (used in large chassis models such as the Roadmaster) was considerably heavier and this weight adversely affected vehicle performance and handling. As with other General Motors products the engines used cast-in-place bearings that were then machined, which made engine rebuilding an expensive procedure. The last year for Buick's straight-8 was 1953, a year in which the 263ci coexisted with its successor, the new V8 322ci Nailhead in the same basic chassis. info from Wikipedia |
so what you are telling me is the FB is a larger engine than it's automobile counterpart? I thought the Fireball 320 was big!!!wow. I think that rules out the use of the FB 320.
Thanks for the warning...lol |

Kuwait wants to put an end to anonymous accounts on Twitter
- 25
We've spoken a lot about the pros and cons of online anonymity, a discussion which was recently spurred by Google+'s short-lived real name policy which forced users to sign up for the site using only their real names.
In Kuwait, the Ministry of Interior is in the process of enforcing a rule of their own on Twitter which prevents Kuwaiti users from using anonymous accounts.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
According to the Kuwaiti News Agency, in a press statement made yesterday, the Ministry announced the intention to suspend any anonymous accounts on Twitter. It was not made clear how they would go about doing so and whether or not they would be asking Twitter itself to suspend the accounts.
The statement went on to say that the move was meant to protect the rights of citizens and residents who have found themselves the subject of slander through statements made by these anonymous accounts, a crime punishable by law in the country, as it is in the UAE.
Statements made on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook have already landed users in jail in the Middle East, and Kuwait has been no exception.
Kuwaiti citizen Nasser Abul was arrested for criticizing the Saudi and Bahraini royal families on Twitter, while Lawrence al-Rashidi was arrested for comments made about Kuwait's own royal family. While Abul was released 3 months later, there has been no news of al-Rashidi's trial in the past few months.
Freedom of expression when it comes to personal opinions has certainly been a murky topic in Kuwait, as was demonstrated by the lawsuit brought against a Kuwaiti blogger for a less-than favourable review of a restaurant.

What a weird color. That's why I like it.
My nails are growing out quite nicely. I've been using Sally Hansen's Miracle Growth n/p and it seems to be working quite well. It cost me around 9 dollars at Walgreens. For that price, it should be working a damn miracle haha.
*sigh* I miss my boyfriend. :(
I really really hate his recruiter right now... he was supposed to give me the address to write to my bf last week, and I still haven't received it. UGH.
Anyways, I have another FOTD sitting on my camera so I'll upload that at some point...

The rest, with a vengeance, is history. Brenton became a leading member of the Hare-Baker-Edgar-Griffiths nexus who spent the '70s and early '80s shouting, from state-subsidised stages, about the rottenness of the state. And that original, larky voice - not in the Orton class, but definitely akin to it - got drowned out in a generalised, moralistic rant, which was in turn drowned out by the outrage it generated.
Norman St John Stevas, as Minister for the Arts, apologised to the Commons for letting A Short, Sharp Shock occupy a GLC theatre; needless to say, he hadn't seen the play. Mary Whitehouse, who hadn't seen The Romans in Britain, nevertheless saw fit to sue its director for "procuring an act of gross indecency". Those of us who did see that play found it hard to disentangle the voice of the playwright from the rabid blur surrounding it.
In those heady days, Brenton's work was bold, prolific and undeniably adventurous. He forged his plays like a blacksmith, and sent them armour- plated into battle. But the clash of weapons which produced fireworks like Pravda (with David Hare) and Moscow Gold (with Tariq Ali) was not always suited to the communication of ideas: Bloody Poetry, through which Brenton sought to portray Shelley and his circle, collapsed in a clatter of clichs. As a serious playwright, Brenton seemed to have written himself out.
So I didn't bother to see his Iron-Curtain rumination Berlin Bertie, and now that I've read it, I'm sorry. In this 1992 play he lets his ideas take wing, and the result is sweetly haunting. His imagery seems purged of the anal sadism which smudges the works of his ranting period. It seems like daybreak after a night of the soul.
And so in fact it proves. In the concluding essay of Hot Irons Brenton chronicles Berlin Bertie's rehearsal-room birth, and we find this striking statement: "I want SONG not moralising in my new plays. I'm sick of the political epic's pseudo-moralising tone ... I've done too much of it." He excoriates the Royal Court "loonies" who want to impose a pettifogging piece of "anti-racist" censorship on his script. He has moved on; his progeny have not.
This catch-all compendium volume has some damp squibs, but it also has moments of brilliance, and it's often gracefully written. Who is our century's greatest playwright? "Brecht, alas." Brenton then proceeds to castigate his hero's "fatal stage blindness". Rich, perhaps, coming from a writer often deaf to the nuances of words, but Brenton is so humbly self-critical that you forgive him. And he's spot-on about the Shakespeare industry: "With their codes lost, their political radio-activity decayed away, the plays ... are all things to anyone, to the point of meaninglessness."
Brenton own radioactivity has emphatically not decayed: he's the same old Leftie romantic. Left-wing Paris, which he goes in search of for a magazine article, lets him down woefully; Meyerhold's duty shrine in Moscow quickens his radical pulse. Endearingly, he still sees it as his job to rally the socialist faithful. "Thirteenth Night" is addressed "to the troops. I make no apology for - just once - writing a play that dramatises an internal row, hanging up the Left's bloodstained linen in public." While the Romans in Britain court case was pending, he tramped the provinces giving solo readings of the play. He has that doggedness still.
The most arresting chapters of this book chronicle his visit to newly- liberated Russia: the "crazed inertia" he finds in Moscow, and the stoicism with which the inhabitants of Kiev put up with environmental radioactivity, make a sobering read.
Hanging out among crocs and rednecks in Queensland, Brenton finds himself noting down every detail, no matter how apparently pointless. He's no Alan Bennett: he doesn't have that knack of giving everything he touches his personal stamp. But he's got curiosity, sympathy and a journalistic eye. And, cut off from the claustrophobia of the London stage, he sounds blissfully happy.

Dealing with epilepsy
I was just wondering if anyone elses beagle on here is epileptic.
I know it can occur in a breed, and my girl Priscilla is one of those beags that have it. It's really sad when she has a seizure and oddly for a time before and after a seizure, her house training goes out the window. Other than that, she is a healthy and happy beagle. Does anyone else have experiences like this? |

So sorry to hear Priscilla has the Big E. Epilepsy is fairly common in Beagles, unfortunately, but the good news is that most dogs do well with a daily dose of whatever the drug du'jour is these days. My very first Beagle, Finis, had epilepsy, and he did just fine on his medicine. Is Priscilla on any meds? And if it makes you feel any better, my Chloe's house training goes out the window at any given moment and she doesn't have epilepsy! (Today = two pee spots and a really big poop, all in the living room.) How often does Miss Pris have her seizures?
What was I thinking??? To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Beagles Oprah and Chloe, and Beagle-Mix Jubilee |

I tried phenobarbital with Priscilla. Not too sound neglectful or anything, but I took her off of it. It didn't decrease her seizures at all (in frequency or severity). It was just a constant take it for two weeks, come in for a blood test, different dose, take it for two weeks, come in for a blood test....etc. It became so expensive that I couldn't afford that vet anymore. I am actually working with a new vet to find an alternative treatment, but they have said that if it isn't interfering with her quality of life and she doesn't seem to be suffering any ill effects, we can just see if getting older lessens them. |

Our Beagle doesn't have it but our Chow/Lab mix does. She's been on meds for a couple years and never has a seizure until we go to the Vet's.
We discovered it after she had three or four in one night and then we got her on meds and she was fine for 2-3 mos. The first trip to the Vet she had one in the front doorway. We thought that was just a fluke but the next visit the same thing happened. Finally we thought we'd fool her and take her in the back door. 10 ft inside the door she realized where she was and had a seizure. Now the Vet comes out the car for her exams. I would say our Hallie has led a perfectly normal life on med as long as we stay away from the Vet's office. She's on two different meds. |

well it is not about dogs but my nephew had epilepsy and while i was reading up on it i found that some people have good luck with a high fat diet.bacon and cheese on buttered toast for breakfast type of thing.might be worth a try. you might have to run the extra calories off them but if it helps it may be worth it.
good luck. paws pressed for your pup. |

rough morning for Cleo
Two months ago our beagle, Cleo found us. (Just showed up on our front porch crying!) She is the sweetest little girl, vet says about 2 years old. This morning while we were out going potty, she began shaking terribly, then started walking sideways like she was drunk. It was horrible! I didn't know what to do so I scooped her up and my husband and I ran her to the animal hospital. She was better when we got there, but still not herself. The vet told us beagles are more prone to seizures and we need to keep a journal...this may be her only one or there may be more. It was so, so sad. She's sleeping the day away now. I hope she wasn't abandoned for having health "issues". She's getting lots of TLC here!

New to the forum........
First of all, I really like this site. I am not a Jeep owner, but would love to be someday. My current ride is a 2003 Chevy Avalanche. I almost bought a Wrangler instead of the AV, but went with the AV as we are from TX and travel to see family at times. ideally, I would like to have a Jeep as a third vehicle, but school loans and house note are current ly preventing that. A friend of mine recently bought a 1999 Wrangler, so i can at least live through him for a while. I'll be hanging out here and soaking in some knowledge to help my buddy as well as for when I eventually get a Wrangler of my own.
welcome from Kansas. Don't be affaid to ask questions.
welcome to WF!!!
Welcome from Ohio~
Thanks for the welcome. I've really enjoyed the Avalanche sites, so I'm sure I will learn a lot here as well. Looking forward to the day when I can tool around in a Wrangler!!
Welcome, Hop45, to the best Jeep Wrangler forum on the planet! Just a thot, but the 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited can take your family with you as easily as the Avalanche and still has remarkable storage in the rear for the luggage. If you don't need the short truck bed, take a look. Price wise the 2008 Unlimited is the same price I paid for my 2004 which makes it a great deal. Again, just a thot!
Yeah, but I'm not in the market for a new ride just yet. I love the Avalanche, but would also like to have a Jeep as a third vehicle. When it is time to buy a new ride, the jeep will get some serious consideration. Only problem with the wife would be the highway ride. We use my AV for trips and it rides great on the highway. I have a utility trailer now, so the truck bed would not be a big issue.

Watching the guys' responses to Thomas Pace's exit completely confirmed that I have an amazing group left.
Going into my date with Collin, I didn't know what to think. He's incredibly attractive, and so much so that he almost seems fake and not real. I was really nervous and anxious for our date, but also excited to see how it all played out. We got on the WaveRunner and had a blast! I don't know how he managed to not throw me off. When he turned around to face me on the WaveRunner, my heart was beating out of my chest. I knew the chemistry was there, and I knew something incredible was about to happen. And then we hit the rope swing. Collin did great, but my attempt was quite tragic: I wasn't strong enough to pull myself up on the rope! After that, we sat down and talked about our feelings for one another. It was exactly what I needed. I could tell that he was there for me, and when we kissed in the rain, I'm pretty sure we put The Notebook to shame. That was the first time I had ever kissed anyone in the rain, and it was amazing.
The swamp was, hands down, one of my favorite activities so far. Seeing Emilio's face and reaction to what we would be doing was priceless. I bet he never thought he would be this close to alligators.
My conversation with Travis on the air boat was a little bit off. It was very loud, and I could barely make out what he was saying, so it wasn't the ideal time or place to get to know him better. I also spoke with Dylan out on the water, and he told me he had put up a barrier because he realized he was falling for me pretty early on. We had a great date in the beginning, and I'm not putting any walls up, so I hope he doesn't continue to hold anything back from me because he's scared.
I'm so comfortable around Todd, and I wasn't lying when I told him he was my favorite so far. Seeing him smile definitely makes me smile, and I have to admit, he was great with the gators. Emilio is also very sweet. I really love his personality and was so enthusiastic about everything we did in the swamp, which I can appreciate because this is way out of his element. When Justin jumped on the boat with me, I had no idea he was going to kiss me. He's a romantic cowboy for sure.
Since the city guys got the most gators, I went frog giggin' with them. They all did great, and I was really impressed. Typical of Jacob to go in the water and catch the baby alligator.
Choosing Nate for the date was a no-brainer for me. He was the first city guy in the water, and he absolutely opened up and had a blast in the swamp. When I met him for our date, he walked out in a suit, and I think all the ladies reading this will agree with me when I say he's quite attractive. Out of all the guys, Nate didn't really stand out to me in the beginning, and I felt he hadn't tried to interact with me much up to this point. After our date, though, my thoughts about him changed, and he moved to being one of my favorites. We had a great conversation, and he is such a gentleman. Nate definitely has my attention now.
I'm starting to have some pretty serious feelings for some of the guys, so these eliminations continue to get tougher. With Travis, I just knew the romance wasn't there. He's a great guy with a beautiful heart and will definitely go far in life. Danny and I had an amazing first date. He was so much fun, but I can tell our lifestyles are too different from each other. I also had to eliminate Chase because while I can see myself ending up with someone like him, I just didn't feel we had chemistry.
Thank you all for watching this week!

Otherwise pretty calm markets into todays FOMC. FOMC shouldn't matter as the Fed have promised to hold rates low until at least 2014 but market is still stalling.
Apple (AAPL) smashed earnings last night and twitter is full of the pundits (who were ALL bearish end of last week) now calling for $800 and $1000.
Bigger picture we are still in a bearish gartley pattern (see here chart from 7 weeks ago) but CL a better long set up than Brent. If this flag breaks to the upside and we close above 110 then upside targets are 116.50 & 121.60
AUDUSD 4 hr chart. Similar setup, channel/wedge set for bullish breakout to the upside after triple bottom now on 50fib level
GBPJPY daily At resistance within a wedge (like everything else). Bigger picture is a bearish bat pattern
E-mini S&P June futures rangebound, approaching the top (again)
I should have sold cable on the GDP this morning but bottled out.
I will buy AUDUSD on a breakout of this channel.
EURUSD banked half 1.3212 +1.5R
Open positions:
EURUSD long 1.3152 stop 1.3132 target 1.33 - half position
EURAUD long 12672 stop 1.2638 target 1.3175 - half position
WTI June long 103.05 stop 102.75 ... open target - half position
Be lucky for FOMC :)

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Chapter One
The encrimsoned sun sank slowly toward the crest of the Theban mountains. Another glorious Egyptian sunset burned against the horizon like fire in the heavens.
In fact, I did not at that moment behold it, since I was facing east. I had seen hundreds of sunsets, however, and my excellent imagination supplied a suitable mental picture. As the sky over Luxor darkened, the shadows of the bars covering doors and windows lengthened and blurred, lying like a tiger's stripes across the two forms squatting on the floor. One of them said, "Spoceeva."
"Russian," Ramses muttered. scribbling on his notepad. "Yesterday it was Amharic. The day before it sounded like -- "
"Gibberish," said his wife.
"No," Ramses insisted. "It has to mean something. They use root words from a dozen languages, and they obviously understand one another. See? He's nodding. They are standing up. They are going ... " His voice rose. "Leave the cat alone!"
The Great Cat of Re, stretched out along the back of the settee behind him, rose in haste and climbed to the top of his head, from which position it launched itself onto a shelf. Ramses put his notepad aside and looked severely at the two figures who stood before him. "Die Katze ist ganz verboten. Kedi, hayir. Em nedjeroo pa meeoo."
The Great Cat of Re grumbled in agreement. He had been a small, miserable-looking kitten when we acquired him, but Sennia had insisted on giving him that resounding appellation and, against all my expectations, he had grown into his name. His appearance was quite different from those of our other cats: longhaired, with an enormous plume of a tail, and a coat of spotted black on gray. With characteristic feline obstinacy he insisted on joining us for tea, though he knew he would have to go to some lengths to elude his juvenile admirers, who now burst into a melodious babble of protest, or, perhaps, explanation.
"Darling, let's stick to one language, shall we?" Nefret said. She was smiling, but I thought there was a certain edge to her voice. "They'll never learn to talk if you address them in ancient Egyptian and Anglo-Saxon."
"They know how to talk," Ramses said loudly, over the duet. "Recognizable human speech, however -- "
"Say Papa," Nefret coaxed. She leaned forward. "Say it for Mama."
"Bap," said the one whose eyes were the same shade of cornflower-blue.
"Perverse little beggars," said Ramses. The other child climbed onto his knee and buried her head against his chest. I suspected she was trying to get closer to the cat, but she made an engaging picture as she clung to her father. They were affectionate little creatures, much given to hugging and kissing, especially of each other.
"They're over two years old," Ramses went on, stroking the child's black curls. "I was speaking plainly long before that, wasn't I, Mother?"
"Dear me, yes," I said, with a somewhat sickly smile. To be honest -- which I always endeavor to be in the pages of my private journal -- I dreaded the moment when the twins began to articulate. Once Ramses learned to talk plainly, he never stopped talking except to eat or sleep, for over fifteen years, and the prolixity and pedantry of his speech patterns were extremely trying to my nerves. The idea of not one but two children following in the paternal footsteps chilled my blood.
Ever the optimist, I told myself there was no reason to anticipate such a disaster. The little dears might take after their mother, or me.
"Children learn at different rates," I explained to my son. "And twins, according to the best authorities, are sometimes slower to speak because they communicate readily with one another."
"And because they get everything they want without having to ask for it," Ramses muttered. The children obviously understood English, though they declined to speak it; his little daughter raised her head and fluttered her long lashes flirtatiously. He fluttered his lashes back at her. Charla giggled and gave him a hug.

Because the Cup series will race at Kentucky for the first time on July 9, NASCAR has OK'd extra practice on Thursday, July 7. Cup teams are scheduled to spend four hours on the track that day, and Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines chief engine builder Danny Lawrence hopes that will also provide the first test of fuel injection for the series.
"Hopefully they'll know (about specifications) in a week or two, because there's getting to be a pretty big push for people to run at the Kentucky test," Lawrence told Sporting News at Martinsville Speedway. "They're going to have a test day before the race, and if they have everything spec'ed out by then, we'll try to run there – that'll be our first deal.
"I know they're working on it really hard, and hopefully, they'll have it figured out in a few days."
NASCAR announced in February at Daytona International Speedway that McLaren and Freescale Semiconductor will partner in the development and manufacture of engine control units (ECUs) designed to manage fuel and ignition systems in Cup cars. Fuel injection will replace the carburetors that have been part of Cup engines since the series' inception in 1949, with the transition targeted for the 2012 season.
Holley will provide the throttle bodies for the fuel-injection systems, but neither McLaren nor Holley makes the injectors themselves or other components such as oxygen sensors. NASCAR either will mandate specific parts or write specifications for the parts and allow competitors to migrate toward preferred vendors.
"It's not finalized, but it's close to finalization of software and things the teams will be using," Sprint Cup Series director John Darby said. "We have pretty much finished up a wiring harness specification, and we're very close to releasing a fuel-injector specification itself."
If that happens within the next several weeks, fuel-injected engines should be on the track at Kentucky in July.
"They'll give us a spec and say, 'It has to have this cone nozzle, and it has to flow in these parameters' – if they don't give us a certain part," Lawrence said. "That's what we're waiting on now. That's why we're not doing a lot of testing, because the fuel pattern affects a whole lot of it, and we don't want to spend a lot of time on something and not be right." Scenedaily.com
