Parents Corner
Getting A Handle on Discipline
At age 1, my daughter's favorite plaything was toilet paper. She loved to unroll it, wrap herself up in it, and stuff it into the toilet. My husband and I tried everything to get her to stop: removing her from the scene of the crime, offering other toys, and saying "No!" But she was, um, on a roll. Finally she moved on to something even more entertaining: the cat's water bowl!
"Young children are programmed to explore," says Annye Rothernberg, Ph.D. "They want to check out everything because they are trying to understand their world." Toddlers are also impulsive creatures who live in the moment, says Penny Shore, author of Teaching Your Child Positive Discipline (ParentSmart Books, 2002). Those traits -- along with your little one's inconsistent memory and very limited attention span -- means that what we often perceive as misbehavior is really just a child testing limits and being, well, a toddler.
Still, that doesn't mean you should permit your tot to color on the walls or pull the cat's tail. Discipline -- which simply means setting and enforcing reasonable limits -- is crucial from the time your baby begins to crawl. Teaching appropriate behavior not only keeps your child safe (and your good china intact), but in the long run will help her make smart behavior choices later in life, Shore says.
In Miranda's case, we solved the problem by babyproofing: when our daughter grew fascinated with the cat's water bowl, we moved it onto a table out of her reach and only put it down on the floor when she was napping. (Just to be safe we also begain keeping the toilet paper on a high shelf near the towels.) Miranda wasn't tempted to dump water all over the floor, and we saved ourselves many rolls of toilet paper.
Like us, you'll learn that some discipline tactics work better than others, and you may need to go through some trial and error first. Since the effectiveness of discipline strategies often depends on your baby's age, here's a breakdown of tactics by the age you'll most likely have success with them.
8 - 12 months
At this point kids are crawling and starting to walk, which means they'll get into things. The first and most obvious strategy is to set up a child-friendly environment, as we did for Miranda. If that potted plant is out of reach, you won't have to keep reminding your child not to touch it, says Dr. Rothenberg.
Establish routines and stick to them. This isn't always possible, of course. But if your child learns that every night you cuddle together in the rocking chair before bed, she'll soon make the connection that it's sleepytime, Shore says, and bedtime will go a lot more smoothly than if there's a different schedule every night.
Set a good example. "Even at a very young age, kids imitate what they see," says Shore. If your child sees you putting away the blocks in the playroom, hanging up coats, and speaking quietly, he may well try to do the same thing. Model the behavior you would like your child to engage in, and role-play with him.
Distract him. If your child is drawn to the VCR or another off-limits object, offer a substitute toy to redirect his energy. Because of the short attention spans, this often works very effectively.
Remove him from the scene. For kids this young, if all else fails, simply scooping them up and taking them into another room or outside is often enough to get them out of trouble.
12 - 18 months
Mobile toddlers can understand a few hundred words, so now you can begin to briefly explain why your child shouldn't do something, says Shore. You might say, "Don't pull Spot's tail. It hurts him."
Consistency counts. Once you establish rules, stick to them. If you let your child have a cookie before dinner one day and the next you day you tell him he can't have one, he'll get confused. Likewise if you don't usually let him play with the CD player, but one day, when you're tired, you lie on the couch and don't say anything when he starts pressing buttons, your child gets the message that it's probably okay. "It's important to follow through and make the effort," says Shore.
Give your approval. Let your child know how much you appreciate the right behavior. "Tell her, 'Thank you for picking up that toy,'" Shore says. "Praise is very important to toddlers and reinforces good behaviors. So always let them see how happy you are when they do the right thing."
18 - 24 months
At around this age, offering a distraction or removing the object of baby's desire doesn't work as well anymore, because baby's memory has improved. But a better memory can also work in your favor, as your child will be more likely to remember the second or third time he scribbles on the wall that it's something that will bring your disapproval.
"No" starts to make sense. A child this age can say about 100 words and easily understand three times that amount. So they understand "no, don't touch" more than younger babies.
Remember to say yes as well as no. Many parents think discipline is only about saying no, but it's also about identifying positive behaviors. "Instead of saying, 'Don't hit the cat,' tell your child 'Pet the cat softly, like this,'" says Shore.
Teach empathy. When a toddler bits or hits another child, insist that he stop whatever pleasurable activity he's engaged in until the hurt child is no longer crying. This motivates the hitter not to do it again. He wants to avoid the consequence of having a pleasurable activity taken away. Although this isn't true empathy, it certainly lets the child begin to experience how another person feels.
Give choices. By age 2 you can begin to offer a child some choices ("Would you rather wear your red pants or the blue ones?") Doing so promotes a sense of independence so kids are less likely to act out.
Tell your child what's coming up. To avoid tantrums when it's time to go home from a play date or the park, tell your child in advance. If you tell them five minutes before you leave where you are going next, she can begin to prepare herself.

UCLA belongs in the discussion of the race for the national championship. For weeks, I've been as skeptical as anyone because of the Bruins' soft defense, but not any longer. Not after UCLA's defense made several fourth-quarter stops to help the Bruins overcome a 24-3 deficit with 8 minutes and 26 seconds left in Saturday's game with Stanford.
It was the fourth time this season that UCLA came back from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to remain undefeated. With all these late game heroics, maybe UCLA is just a team of destiny.
I stood on the sidelines at Stanford Stadium and watched UCLA's improbable comeback. When you witness the Bruins up close like that, you can't help but be impressed with their composure -- and it's clear that it starts with coach Karl Dorrell. Dorrell has been criticized often for not being emotional on the sideline. His demeanor is even more striking when compared with crosstown rival USC coach Pete Carroll. While Carroll gets as excited as his players during games, Dorrell looks as though he's reading the morning paper.

I got into photography shortly after my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I wanted to make sure that we had great photos of our time that we spent together. He passed in 2010 and since then it has become my way to escape and reenergize myself.
I grew up camping and hiking the pacific northwest with my dad, after I take a landscape shot I often think back to when I was there with my dad, or if it is a new place, how much he would of loved it.
I hope by sharing what I capture with others that it inspires them to get out and enjoy the magnificent area that we live in while we still can.
I am married to a wonderfully supportive husband and have a 5 year old cheerleader who likes to help me pick out and edit my shots. My mother lives with us for health reasons and helps out when we just need to escape for a bit! I work full time in the construction business as an estimator, so photography is my way of escaping and getting to be creative. We just purchased acreage and built a house up in the Fargher Lake area to be next door to my husband's grandparents to help them out.

WASHINGTON – The Bureau of Indian Affairs dealt the Juañeno Band of Mission Indians a setback Monday in their continuing uphill battle to become recognized by the federal government as a tribe.
The bureau issued a report saying the group did not meet four of the seven criteria required for them to become a federally recognized American Indian tribe.
The negative finding in the report indicates that if the groups cannot provide more evidence, they will not be considered a tribe under federal law, a status that would allow them to own land, build a casino and get federal aid for things such as education and health care.
But the group still has time to respond to this decision and provide more evidence over the coming months.
"I have seen petitioners in this situation," said Nedra Darling, spokeswoman for bureau. "There still is time for input."
Representatives of the Juanenos insist they are not discouraged by the bureau's decision and will continue to pursue recognition.
But at least one Orange County lawmaker – Rep. John Campbell – hopes the report means the group will not get recognition because then they cannot build a casino, which he is against.
"It's become very clear that the purpose of this tribal recognition was not cultural recognition but primarily to establish a casino in an urban area," said Campbell, R-Irvine.
The bureau's finding that they are not inclined to give the tribe recognition was based on the evidence the tribal leaders provided to the federal government.
The standards the tribe did not meet include:
Providing evidence that the community at large has recognized them as a tribe on a continuous basis since the 1900s. That criterion can be satisfied through newspaper articles, for example. According to the report, the Juanenos could only supply the bureau with data from 1997.
Proving that they are a historically distinct tribe from the San Juan Capistrano Mission. They didn't do that, according to the report.
Demonstrating that they have a functioning, autonomous government structure.
Proving that enough of their current members are descendants of Native American tribe.
The Juanenos are scattered throughout Orange County. The tribe's ancestral homeland generally spanned from the Santa Ana Mountains to the coast and from deep into Camp Pendleton and Oceanside to the south to Seal Beach to the north.
The group's history has been complicated by a gradual fracturing of tribal leadership. Currently, there are two factions asking the federal government for recognition. Both consider themselves the real Juanenos.
Anthony Rivera, tribal chairman of one of the factions, said that he is not discouraged by the finding and is glad it has been issued. He said the tribe will continue to push for recognition.
"We knew that this would be a challenge for them to understand our history," Rivera said. "Even though the finding is negative, it tells us exactly how they interpret the evidence. Now we're able to fill in any gaps and correct any misunderstandings."
Rivera said that although his group has provided over 30,000 pieces of evidence, they have more. He said he is confident they will eventually be recognized.
Sonia Johnston, vice chairwoman of another faction, echoed Rivera's sentiment. She said she is glad the report was issued and is confident the tribe will be recognized in the future.
Johnston added that the faction plans to respond to BIA and is not surprised by the finding.
"At least now we know; they're giving us a lot of guidance here," She said. "I am very confident, there is no doubt that we stem from a historic tribe, we're very positive."
Campbell hopes they don't succeed. Earlier this year, he introduced a bill that would put block any newly recognized tribe from building a casino for 25 years. Campbell said that he doesn't plan to act on the bill in the near future because the issue is no longer a pressing one for Orange County.
He added that he is considering introducing a bill that would stop the federal recognition process for Native American tribes.
"It's not like people are creating new tribes, if people can't establish their lineage now, is there going to be any information that comes out two years from now that's going to be any different?" Campbell said. "At some point haven't you recognized all of the tribes with legitimate ancestors?"
San Juan Capistrano Mayor Sam Allevato has supported federal recognition for the Juanenos.
In the past, the City Council and other major groups in the community also have supported it for "cultural and historical reasons," he said.
"They have been at this process more than 25 years and what more do they have to submit to the BIA to get over this hurdle?" Allevato asked Monday. "Why not give them a yes or no? Why keep stringing them along with more and more hurdles."
The story of the 9,000 year-old tribe
Artifacts indicate that the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians has occupied Orange County's coast for at least 9,000 years. Their territory ranged from the old mouth of the San Gabriel River, near Seal Beach, south to Las Flores Creek on Camp Pendleton and inland about 30 miles.
1776: Father Junipero Serra founds Mission San Juan Capistrano where Acjachemen village stood. Indians recruited from surrounding villages.
1910:A Bureau of Indian Affairs survey identifies 15 Acjachemen in San Juan Capistrano. The number doesn't include Chief Jose Duram and others who were afraid to come forward.
1979:Acjachemen descendants form a political unit called Juaneño Band of Mission Indians. Constitution includes rules that recognize as members those listed on or descendants of those listed on the rolls of a 1933 California Indian census and who have at least one-eighth Juaneño blood; 800 enroll.
1982: Juaneño Band notifies the Bureau of Indian Affairs that it will petition for recognition.
1985:Acjachemen descendants gain approval to practice sacred ceremonies and conduct reburials at 5 acres on Camp Pendleton.
1992:1,500 enrolled as band members.
1993:State recognizes the Juaneño Band.
1994:Schism develops over elections and leadership.
2005:Three groups represent themselves as tribal authority.

How to be federally recognized
Juanenos have been trying since 1982.
The process to become a federally recognized tribe is long. Here's how it works.
The leaders of a Native American tribe petition the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Juanenos did that in 1982. There are scores of tribes currently seeking recognition so the process often takes many years.
The federal government then reviews the petition. It must meet a set of seven standards, including that they have been a tribe continuously since 1900 and are still functioning as a distinct group. If the petition is found to be credible, the bureau issues what's called a Proposed Finding, an indication of whether the BIA is likely to acknowledge the group.
The Juanenos received their Proposed Finding Monday. It was negative. But the group can continue with the process and hope to change the bureau's mind.
Now, the public and any interested party will have at least 180 days to comment, followed by a 60 day period for the tribe to respond. Often this time period is extended. What follows then is a chance for the tribe to respond and the government to consider the comments.
The BIA makes a final decision on tribal recognition.
If the Juanenos become a tribe in the eyes of the federal government, the group will be recognized as a sovereign nation. This means that they will be allowed to buy land anywhere in the United States for a reservation. On this reservation, they will be allowed to govern themselves, and, under federal law, they would be allowed to build a casino.

text: Word For Today: Thursday, January 5 We Do Not Know What To Do January 5, 2017 · by pastorjesusfigueroa · in Daily Devotional. · WORD FOR TODAY by PASTOR JESUS FIGUEROA DEVOCIONAL DAILY * WWW.JESUSFIGUEROA.ORG Thursday, January 5 We Do Not Know What To Do Topic: Our Dependence on the Holy Spirit Is Needed When We Don't Know What To Do 12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." 2 Chronicles 20:12 (NKJV) Daily Reading Plan Genesis 13-17 Bible Versions: 2 Chronicles 20:12(KJV)-12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 2 Chronicles 20:12New International Version (NIV) 12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you." 2 Chronicles 20:12New Living Translation (NLT) 12 O our God, won't you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help." Devotional Thought: This morning we once again see the need to depend completely in God in every situation we face. No matter how difficult it is, or it seems, nothing is impossible for God! In this portion of Scripture we see King Jehoshaphat being attacked by the Moabites and Ammonites, in 2 Chronicles 20: 2, "And some came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, A great multitude cometh against thee on the other side of the sea, and Of Syria; And behold they are in Hazezon-tamar, which is En-gadi. "This was a desperate situation; it was an hour of crisis in the life of Jehoshaphat and the people of God. The first thing Jehoshaphat did was to seek the help and support of God. In 2 Chronicles 20: 3-4 it says, " 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord." When the people did not know what to do, they sought counsel from the Lord and his help. Although Jehoshaphat was afraid, his fear and insecurity led him to humble himself before the Lord and ask for his help! On this day this is exactly what we must do when we fail to understand what is happening. One thing we know is that we cannot rely on our own strengths or abilities, it will be necessary to consult the Holy Spirit and seek His help. Psalm 121: 1-2 tells us, "I will lift up my eyes unto the mountains; Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, Who made the heavens and the earth. "In the new year 2017 our help comes only from the Lord! Only through the assistance of the Holy Spirit can we find the way to victory and triumph. Topic Fundamental Scriptures: Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV)-121 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (NKJV)-8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead. 2 Kings 6:15 (NKJV)-15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?" Psalm 25:15 (NKJV)-15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Psalm 123:1-2(NKJV)-123 Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He has mercy on us.

Gary Sinclair – Healing in Seconds! (August 4, 2015)
This week we've had a magnificent journey to spend a couple of hours with Gary Sinclair on two separate Skype sessions experiencing the download that was given to him in May of this year … from his latest book that cracks the code for healing titled 'Healing Memories in Seconds.' This download returns a loving energy to all … and will be featured on a TV PBS Special soon on Soul Healing.
Gary's book releases how to scientifically neutralize any negative emotion or feeling including memories all the way to your worst ever in just seconds! Gary just returned from 6 weeks teaching in Australia where 10,000 memories were healed or neutralized all the way to PTSD.
Gary says, "He still remains in awe with what the universe delivered to him–as most therapies work only 60 to 80% of the time."

revisiting an old goal
For Imbolc I set the goal of seeing this art show. I'm pleased to say that I finally made it and it was totally worth it!
Sneak peak of Mr Faye enjoying the show (wow, look at me getting all personal and showing pics not only of myself but also of my partner... next thing you know I'll be posting Baby Faye on the webs too! Who knew. I started this blog with no intention of ever sharing this stuff. I guess things change and so on and so forth):
It was an interested exhibit and the gallery did a nice job of contextualizing the art for those of us (me) who didn't have the cultural knowledge to fully appreciate the work.
It's interesting, lately I've been on an art and culture kick. I suppose I'm trying to squeeze some in before the baby arrives. But I also suspect that it's partially due to the weather being nicer and wanting to get out more. I kind of hate winter. I really think I'm meant to live somewhere warm! What I'm doing in eastern Canada (ok, maybe not east to those who live on the East Coast, but east enough for this West Coast lady), braving Canadian winters, remains a complete mystery to me.
That said, it's been a nice change of pace and has reminded me of my love of art and culture, and why I hold them to be so important in our society even if society doesn't tend to agree. I love it when art can make you think, be it in a photograph, painting, book, or music. I need to remember to do more, even as a mother, to nurture that in my personal life, in the life of my wee little family, and by extension, my community because I do support and show how it is valuable.
What was the last work of art (music, photo, book, movie, painting, etc) that prompted you to think?

Impact of Perioperative Infarcts After Cardiac Surgery
Background and Purpose—Brain injury after cardiac surgery is a serious concern for patients and their families. The purpose of this study was to use 3-T fluid attenuated inversion recovery MRI to characterize new and pre-existing cerebral ischemic lesions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and to test whether the accumulation of new ischemic lesions adversely affects cognition.
Methods—Digital comparison of before and after fluid attenuated inversion recovery MRI images was performed for 77 cardiac surgery. The burden of pre-existing versus new ischemic lesions was quantified and compared with the results of baseline and postoperative neuropsychological testing.
Results—After surgery, new lesions were identified in 31% of patients, averaging 0.5 lesions per patient (67 mm3 [0.004%] of brain tissue). Patients with pre-existing lesions were 10× more likely to receive new lesions after surgery than patients without pre-existing lesions. Pre-existing ischemic lesions were observed in 64% of patients, averaging 19.4 lesions (1542 mm3 [0.1%] of brain tissue). New lesions in the left hemisphere were significantly smaller and more numerous (29 lesions; median volume, 44 mm3; volume range, 5–404 mm3) than those on the right (10 lesions; median volume, 128 mm3; volume range, 13–1383 mm3), which is consistent with a cardioembolic source of particulate emboli. Overall, the incidence of postoperative cognitive decline was 46% and was independent of whether new lesions were present.
Conclusions—New lesions after cardiac surgery added a small (≈4%) contribution to the burden of pre-existing cerebrovascular disease and did not seem to affect cognitive function.

For all the brides with a little anxiety for a rainy wedding day...focus on a few quick tips to make it bearable rather than focusing your energy on changing weather patterns. Hate to say it - but you don't have that power, nor does your Chicago wedding planner, to change the weather.
But, we do have umbrellas and a little hair spray for the frizzy flyaway you didn't expect. If rain or snow are in the forecast then plan accordingly. Don't ask your hair to do things it doesn't naturally want to do unless you're okay with your curls springing back up after your first few photos.
You Chicago wedding planner is there to make sure you feel beautiful and stay dry and warm on wedding day. Darcey Lohman, of Big City Bride, kept Lauren looking stunning and Edenhurst Studio couldn't have taken more beautiful Chicago wedding photography. It's always fun to capture the behind the scene moments of the day.

I won't be there
Everything started when I left my camera at Jillian's first communion. It turned out that my cousin Derek had picked it up after the party, but until I knew that I had to face the possibility that it was gone forever. Which made me start thinking about how much I'd really like to have a new digital camera. A better one. With a greater zoom. Image stabilization. More pixels per inch.
You may know this about me: that with the exception of the occasional escapade to Target, I am not much of a shopper, I tend to over-think and over-research both big and small purchases and often just don't make them at all. So it took a while to warm up to the new camera idea. I started learning about the features that are out there, and checking out friends cameras, and comparing prices. Then came the cost justification phase. I never really got a birthday present this year, and there was some profit sharing at GM, I got a little raise in salary, and then George Bush sent us a check in the mail to stimulate the economy. It's my patriotic duty to go out there and drop a little cash on the just-right camera of my dreams!
We went to Best Buy and the helpful man showed me the new Kodak Z1012. I was in love. But not quite ready to commit. I did some research on the internet about this camera and other comparable one. It looked like the best deal was to order it online through Kodak's website. I got a 2GB memory card and 10 percent off that way. So I put together the order...and then waited. And then when I was really ready and sure I placed the order. Of course the next day Kodak put that camera on sale for another $20 off but I wasn't going to think about that, I was going to wait for My New Camera to come in the mail.
The cranes showed up on our side of the lake again. I looked at them and thought about how once My New Camera gets here I'll be able to get some awesome zoomed-in pictures to post for you to see on my blog. At Jeff's baseball games I thought about the action shots I'll be capturing with My New Camera. The low lighting at Timmy's band concert would be no problem for a camera with the features that my new one will have.
Then yesterday when we finally all got home from school and work, there was a gold and white sticker on the front door. UPS was here and tried to deliver My New Camera, but there was a check in the box for "signature required." There were boxes checked that indicated the next attempt would be Friday between 10:30 and 2:00. Nobody would be home then either. On the back of the sticker was a phone number to call "to prevent your package from being returned to sender." So I called and had to go through that horrible voice-recognition conversation with the fake computer lady. She asked me what I wanted to do and offered the choice "arrange future pickup." What I wanted to do was change the delivery time but she was not offering me that choice. I tried to say that but she kept going in her fake perky way: "I'm sorry, I didn't catch what you just said, would you like to" and then listed the same choices. So I selected "arrange future pickup" and picked Friday with the hopes that the next set of choices would be the time categories shown on the delivery sticker. But no, it just started asked me if I wanted to track another package. Arrrgh. I tried repeating the call but the choices didn't change.
Well today when I arrived home there was another sticker on the door marked "second attempt." I only get one more. I called the phone number and had the same exact conversation with the fake computer lady. This time I kept hitting buttons on my phone until she offered to get me an operator. And a real person came on the line! I asked the real person how I could schedule a different time for the delivery, and she said that wasn't a choice, I could only pick the dates, and not holidays or weekends. I explained that no one is home here during the day, and so what are my choices then? She said after one more attempt on Monday it would go to the pickup center. I asked her where that was and she seemed kind of put out but after a lot of clicking she was able to spew out an address in Pontiac. Which is not an easy drive from here and I can't imagine when I would ever be able to get there during business hours. I asked her what else could be done. She said that I could arrange to have it redirected to a neighbor's house and give them authority to sign for it. I started thinking about whether I could ask Kendrea to do that, and whether she'll eventually start to feel put upon for being the "person who's home during the day" around here. But then the real phone lady finished some clicking and said that wasn't a choice, am only allowed one change and I already did an "arrange for future pickup." But I didn't change anything, I told her. Doesn't matter, she said. The rules of UPS are concrete and final. I have used up my one chance, and now the only possible thing that can happen is for the camera to be delivered to my house between 10:30 and 2:00 on Monday when I'm not here and then it will be returned to the sender.
This is the part where I started getting just a wee bit hysterical. "Are you telling me that I have to QUIT MY JOB if I ever want to get a camera delivered in the mail? That there is NO POSSIBLE WAY for me to get this done without using up the same scarce resources I am about to be juggling to manage the care of my children? Just to receive delivery of something that I had to pay for shipping on? I'll NEVER get my new camera!" She wasn't the slightest but sympathetic which actually might have helped at that moment. I know it's not her job to soothe hysterical customers.
So what is going to happen? I just don't know what I'm going to do next. Calm down, for starters. Blogging is good for that. And since I'm not taking pictures with a new camera I've gone low-tech with the illustrations.

You should've called me !!! I have an in w/a UPS driver, remember? What a crappy experience with their customer service. Believe it or not Joel deals with worse on a daily basis from management

Amy, I did think about that, but the lady was so absolute about what was going to happen, I couldn't think of any way to work the connection unless Joel was still the UPS driver for this route. I still can't believe that UPS drivers are going around all day putting delivery stickers on doors of empty houses and then returning packages back to the senders. You would think that eventually they would go out of business. To help myself feel better I tried to imagine that the hours of delivery are so restrictive so that nice delivery men who are also fathers can be home with their cute children at a reasonable time of day, but then what do they do if THEY get a package delivered? It just doesn't make sense. Am I the only person with this problem?
- June 7, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Mindy, I'll go sit outside your house on Monday and take delivery!

Oh those summer kid schedules! ARG! I got a stomachache just reading about yours! I HATED it too! Part-time work was nice, but it made the "spreadsheet" even more complicated! I too just hated missing so much! I wanted to be home more. Time flies. And it did. I treasure every moment I had home with Julian! He's living 7 hours north of us now (but closer than Michigan!)
Now, I won't even START about deliveries......
I do want to know how you did the drawings!
- June 7, 2008 at 11:27 PM
Hi, Mindy-It has been my experience to check if deliveries could be handled by US Post office instead of UPS or Fed Ex, etc.. The post office is willng to leave items on a porch in a decent area, or if given directions, to a near neighbor. We got to know where the pick up centers are for UPS, Fed Ex, etc.. I thought that they did have Saturday hours- maybe it's a thing of the past now or I worked it out otherwise. Why don't you have future items mailed to me or your folks? What are you doing with your older camera now returned by Derrick? I have a buyer for you. Aunt Chris

I like the pictures you draw, forget the camera!

I'm not sure why they wouldn't leave your camera... UPS leaves stuff at our door all the time. We are really surprised about it. Maybe they do it more often in California???
- June 8, 2008 at 4:00 PM
- Mindy said...
For some reason Kodak designated this delivery as "signature required upon delivery in person" and I can't change that.
FYI this is how I did those pictures way too late on Friday night: After fussing with our scanner to get the image of the UPS slips I grabbed a piece of paper out of the printer and then spent a long time searching around the house for a nice dark pen that worked. Then I spent about 2 minutes drawing the pictures and way more time than that scanning and uploading them into the post. Ah, technology!
Note to Nancy: I still remember back when Julian was my boy's age and you were going through the process of figuring out what to do with him for the summer. You came over to my desk in a fluster and announced "Remember this for when you need it someday: The Metro Parent Summer Camp Fair is held in FEBRUARY!" And I looked down and told my pregnant belly to remember that for me. You always lead the way.

I hear you on the UPS thing. I can't believe they waste their resource trying the Second Attempt instead of just giving you an after hours option or a pick up center that is open after hours...
Good luck!

Former Melbourne Cup winning trainer Mark Kavanagh is eyeing off the newly upgraded $350,000 Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) as a first-up option for his smart Cox Plate-bound duo of Super Cool and Atlantic Jewel.
It would be scintillating showdown between the two who boast three previous Group 1 trophies between them, the Memsie to run at Caulfield Racecourse on August 31.
Fastnet Rock four-year-old Super Cool hasn't raced since their tight Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) victory over The BMW winner Fiveandahalfstar at Flemington on March 9 last year.
That was the then three-year-old's fourth win from nine career starts that also included a win in the Group 2 Autumn Classic (1800m) at Caulfield on Blue Diamond Stakes Day.
Now the smart horse will have a jump-out at Flemington on Friday morning to help Kavanagh decide where to kick off their campaign.
"He's furnished out and he's matured nicely," Kavanagh told Racing Victoria this week.
"He's just going to tell us on the way where we should put him but he could be running at the end of the month in the Memsie."
Super Cool has been nominated for all the spring majors this season including the $2.5 million Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) on October 19 and the $3 million Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) the following Saturday – inaugural entries for which both closed this week.
There's also a chance Kavanagh will see enough staying potential in them to suggest they could be competitive in the $6.2 million Group 1 Emirates Melbourne Cup (3200m) on the first Tuesday of November.
Kavanagh won the 2009 Melbourne Cup with his now retired star Shocking.
Super Cool is already one of the top fancies for the Cox Plate too paying $7 on the second line of betting behind only Sydney Autumn 3YO Triple Crown winner It's A Dundeel ($4.60).
Also paying $7 to win this year's Cox Plate is Super Cool's stablemate Atlantic Jewel.
Struck down by a tendon injury during mid-way through last year the five-year-old Fastnet Rock mare hasn't run since winning her second Group 1 victory in the All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick in April last year.
Prior to that she won all six of her other career starts including the 2011 Thousand Guineas.
Kavanagh has been very patient bringing her back having originally thought her career over.
She will also trial on Friday morning before with Kavanagh to use her performance there to determine her first-up assignment.
"She'll have a jumpout on Friday and that'll give us a good indication of how forward she is," he said.
"It's 18 months since she raced, so we've got to adopt a wait-and-see attitude with her.
"We won't be giving her a gut-buster.
"We'll certainly be having a good look at her and then make a decision from there."
Options include the Group 3 Cockram Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on August 17 and the Group 2 Let's Elope Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on September 7.
There's also a chance she'll go straight to elite level in the Memsie Stakes joining Super Cool in the Caulfield feature at the end of the month.
"These horses need to be nursed back and 18 months off gives you an indication that they're going to be vulnerable first-up if they're not quite right, so we won't be running her unless she's absolutely right," Kavanagh said.

Anti-Muslim Swiss tweet urges new Kristallnacht
by Lyssandra Sears
Alexander Müller, a Zurich politician from the far-right Swiss People's Party has caused outrage by appearing to call for "another Kristallnacht" in a hateful anti-Islamic tweet.
The offending message, which has since been taken down from Müller's @DailyTalk account, said: "Maybe we need another Kristallnacht… this time for mosques."
Kristallnacht, or the Night of the Broken Glass, refers to the night in November 1938 when the Nazis burned down Jewish synagogues, houses and shops in a coordinated attack across Germany and parts of Austria.

text: Hello everyone, Lately I quite often encounter the problem of losing connection with my CGO3+ camera while flying. It happened to me twice the last time I was flying and the flight before that. I have had a few camera disconnections before, but it usually still was recording the video. Sadly, now each time it disconnects the video recording stops which makes the machine useless on my jobs. Anyone had the same issue and perhaps knows how to fix it? Also I use the 13.09.16 firmware BroVari
