State News Roundup: The concealed weapons law might have saved a life in Wausau
Wisconsin News-- Supporters of Wisconsin's concealed weapons law insist it will save lives – and that might have been the case during a road rage incident in Wausau.
Supporters of Wisconsin's concealed weapons law insist it will save lives – and that might have been the case during a road rage incident in Wausau. It happened on Tuesday along the Highway 29 expressway. Police said an 49-year-old Appleton man was driving into town from the west, when his S-U-V passed a van – and the van started ramming the S-U-V from behind. The Appleton man called 9-1-1, and a dispatcher told him to wait in a parking lot for an officer. In the meantime, the attackers followed the man – and police said the couple got out and started beating him and stabbing him with their vehicle keys. The man pulled his concealed gun, and the two backed off. A 30-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman from Michigan were arrested on possible charges of battery and disorderly conduct. The S-U-V driver had a legal state concealed carry permit, and police say he will not be criminally charged.
The U-W Board of Regents is about to decide whether to let a larger percentage of its students come from out-of-state. Right now, only 25-percent of students can come from outside Wisconsin, not including Minnesotans who pay in-state tuition under a long-time reciprocity agreement. And the Regents will consider an increase to 30-percent when they meet today and tomorrow. State Assembly Colleges Committee chairman Steve Nass objects. He says it might create fewer opportunities for Wisconsin students to attend the state's largest campus in Madison. But officials say the proposal would add 200 more spots at Madison for Wisconsin freshmen. Spokesman David Giroux says the school is trying to strike a balance between giving access to Wisconsinites, while attracting the best-and-brightest from throughout the world. U-W Madison is the only school that's close to the current out-of-state enrollment limit – and Provost Paul DeLuca says it's difficult to stay under it. That's because officials must estimate their enrollments each year, due to the growing numbers of students who apply at more than one college and go somewhere else. The proposal could also bring in more revenue, because out-of-state students generally pay higher tuition. Each percentage point in non-resident enrollments would give Madison an extra four-and-a-half million dollars a year. Nass said he was caught off-guard when the proposal was unveiled this week – and he wants to delay it so the public can have more of a say. But DeLuca says many lawmakers support the change – and he calls it a policy matter for the Regents – not a political matter for the Legislature.
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance plans to build a new 30-story office building in downtown Milwaukee, to replace at 16-story structure that faces high maintenance costs. The company announced the 300-million-dollar project yesterday. It asked for 48-million in tax incremental financing from the city. Northwestern Mutual said it would spend the money up-front, and then receive its allowable property tax breaks over the next 25 years. About 11-hundred employees in the old building would move to a temporary facility while the new and larger building is built. Northwestern Mutual has said it would add up to 17-hundred more downtown Milwaukee employees by 2027. C-E-O John Schlifske calls the new project quote, "a signature development that makes a huge statement about the attractiveness of the whole Milwaukee metro area." He said it would guarantee that Northwestern Mutual plays a vital role in the city for generations to come. Mayor Tom Barrett said the proposal sends a quote, "tremendous message" about the viability of downtown Milwaukee.
Wisconsin voters were much more generous to their local school districts in November than they've been lately. According to the state's Taxpayers Alliance, 70-percent of the 38 construction and revenue proposals were approved. And the schools' success rate was 50-percent higher than it was two years ago. Alliance president Todd Berry says money remains tight, especially in smaller school districts. But if people believe in a project, and they know their money is spent wisely, Berry says voters will give their approval. The state's largest building referendum was approved by a 2-to-1 margin in the Middleton-Cross Plains district, where almost 60-million dollars will be spent for additions and renovations to two middle schools. Voters also said yes to a number of requests by school districts to exceed their state-mandated revenue limits – in some cases, just to continue current programs. Marshfield voters approved the state's largest revenue cap exemption. They agreed to pay an extra two-and-a-half million dollars a year for the next four years.

Glen Ellyn Man Wins $1 Million in Powerball
After finding a pile of lottery tickets and checking the numbers, Ron Yurcus discovered he was a winner.
A Glen Ellyn man found a $1 million surprise sitting on his desk. Along with a bunch of other lottery tickets, Ron Yurcus had a winning Powerball ticket waiting to be discovered.
Yurcus hit the numbers in the August 22 Powerball drawing when his ticket matched the first five numbers – 22 - 29 - 31 - 47 - 55 - (19), according to the Illinois Lottery. He only checked the ticket after finding it a few weeks ago.
"About 12 tickets had accumulated on my desk, and I decided to tidy up to make room for my new computer," Yurcus said in a news release. "I checked the winning numbers on the Illinois Lottery website and just about screamed when I saw that I won."
A retired chaplain, Yurcus along with his wife of 45 years, Kathleen, plan to invest some of the money and share some with their family, including their three children and grandchildren, according to the lottery. They will also be donating some of the money to charities.
"My wife and I have always donated our time and energy to various charities," Yurcus said in the news release. "Now, because of this lottery win, we can donate financially as well."
The BP gas station, 339 Roosevelt Road, in Glen Ellyn was also a winner; it was awarded a $10,000 ceremonial check for selling the ticket, according to the lottery.

Maybe he doesn't have quite the status in Indian Mythology as his Roman counterpart, Cupid, but Kamadeva is the Hindu God of Love. Kamadeva originally had a human form – a youth with a greenish/reddish complexion – and armed with a bow of sugarcane, strung with a line of honeybees and arrows of flowers (how sweet!). His vahana was the parrot and Puranic accounts state he was born out of the heart or mind of Lord Brahma. But not all was roses for Kamadeva. He was incinerated by Lord Shiva's third eye, who was angry when Kamadeva disturbed his meditation with a flower arrow (though apparently this is when Shiva falls in love with Parvati – see, everything happens for a reason…). From then on, Kamadeva was thought to be bodiless. A poetic ending to the story of love… image via Google Images | |||||

I offered to talk about my experience at WebManiacs for the guys at the Flex Show (Jeff & John). I actually haven't had time to listen to the cast, but I hope it was useful. It's my first time on a podcast, even though Jeff and John are very laid back I was a bit nervous ;)
WebManiacs overall was good, I had a couple small suggestions on the food and length of the conference, but overall the sessions that I attended were very informative. You can listen to the cast for all the details.
I recall that I said I would upload my notes from the conference, unfortunately two things occured. I procastinated a little bit and didnt get them up before I left for business travel and my notes are on my macbook which is at home. So I will have my notes from the conference uploaded by the weekend (if nothing crazy happens). I will update this post and include the file here, so stay tuned in a couple days.

Optimism on 'cliff' buoys stocks
Posted: December 6, 2012 at 3:50 a.m.
Stocks closed higher Wednesday, their first gain of the week, as bank shares rose and comments by President Barack Obama made investors optimistic that a quick deal could be made to avoid the "fiscal cliff." The fiscal cliff is a combination of automatic spending cuts and tax increases that are set to go into effect in January unless Congress acts before then.

In a city where 13 ambulances struggle to serve a burgeoning population of several million, 47-year old Krassi Yordanov is our unlikely hero: chain-smoking and saving lives in a non-stop 48-hour shift.

This is a film about the regular working day of Dr. Krassi, nurse Mila and driver Plamen, a team working on an ambulance in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Struggling against an avalanche of absurdities in a crumbling medical system and scarcely earning enough to make a living, these three are simply trying to do what they do best – save lives.

Domain Specific Languages in Groovy
Domain Specific Languages in Groovy demonstrates how Groovy shines when it comes to domain specific languages.
About Domain Specific Languages
A Domain Specific Languages[1] (DSL) is a language tailored to describe a part of a specific domain. An example of a DSL are regular expressions[2]. Regular expressions provide a language that allow a user to specify which strings are accepted. Formally the domain for regular expression are finite-state machines[3] that accept strings. A regular expression describes a finite-state machine.
A DSL can enhance productivity enormously. By providing an abstraction over a specific domain, DSL's allow a user to be more expressive. This expressiveness can cut the development time. A DSL also bridges the communication gap between a developer and a domain expert. The book Domain-specific Languages[4] by Martin Fowler and Rebecca Parsons is a great exposition about the subject.
About Groovy
Groovy[5] is a dynamic language running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It takes the power of the JVM and provides a modern programming language for it. Groovy is inspired by successful languages like Python and Ruby. It rids most of the tedious boilerplate from Java code, replacing it with powerful primitives. You can try Groovy in your browser at http://groovyconsole.appspot.com/.
DSL's in Groovy
Groovy uses a lot of domain specific languages. A notable example is the MarkupBuilder
[6]. This class provides a DSL for the creation of xml. For example, the following code
new MarkupBuilder().root { a( a1:'one' ) { b { mkp.yield( '3 < 5' ) } c( a2:'two', 'blah' ) } }
will produce
<root> <a a1='one'> <b>3 < 5</b> <c a2='two'>blah</c> </a> </root>
Custom DSL
Groovy allows the introduction of custom DSLs. Groovy provides a BuilderSupport
[7] class. By extending this class a DSL like the MarkupBuilder
can be created. We will demonstrate the use of BuilderSupport
with the following example.
Let's assume that we have a Robot
. The robot is controlled via the executeCommand
method. The executeCommand
method accepts command codes. There are three of them 0x37
, 0x51
and 0x88
with the following interpretation.
Code | Command |
0×37 | Move Forward |
0×51 | Turn Left |
0×88 | Turn Right |
It would be tedious to perform complex movements with this robot. Multiple calls to the executeCommand
method, all strung together, are necessary to do something trivial as navigate around a room. Instead, one would rather say something like.
do(4) { forward() left() }
We can start bridging the syntactic gap by introducing a few auxiliary classes. The following class diagram shows the participants. It combines the composite[8] pattern with the visitor[9] pattern.
The contract of the Program
interface is to execute itself with a provided visiting Robot
. There are two concrete programs types. There are BasicProgram
s, one for each command, i.e. ForwardProgram
, LeftProgram
and RightProgram
. These Program
s execute the corresponding command on the provided Robot
. The other concrete Program
is the DoProgram
. The DoProgram
is composed of other Program
s. When a DoProgram
is asked to execute with a Robot
, it asks it's component Program
s in turn to execute with the Robot
The Program
interface and its implementations help to express the intention of a user of the Robot
. But this convenience comes at a price. There is a lot of boilerplate code necessary to express a program to navigate the robot around a room.
DoProgram program = new DoProgram(4) program.add(new ForwardProgram()) program.add(new LeftProgram())
This is where DSL's step in.
We will now use the power of BuilderSupport
[7] to go the extra mile and close the syntactic gap. We will use BuilderSupport
to create a ProgramBuilder
The BuilderSupport
class has five abstract methods. These methods are subdivided in two categories. On the one hand there are various createNode
methods. On the other hand is the setParent
The createNode
methods only vary in their signature. The all have a name
parameter in common. The createNode
methods can also sport an value
parameter, an attributes
parameter, both parameters or no extra parameter. We chained the various methods to a single method, so we will focus on the createNode(String name)
The various createNode
methods are called when a method is executed which is not defined. The name
parameter is set to the missing method name. For example, in the following code
new ProgramBuilder().forward()
the createNode
method is called with the name
parameter set to "forward"
. A createNode
method should return an object. In this case it would return a ForwardProgram.
The setParent(Object parent, Object child)
method is called when a missing method is called with a closure[10]. First the createNode
method should return an object. This object will act as parent parameter for the subsequent calls to createNode
from the closure. I.e. every time a createNode
method is called, the returned object is the child parameter in a call to setParent
A code example should clear things up. The call sequence of the following code is determined.
ProgramBuilder b = new ProgramBuilder() b.do() { b.forward() }
The call sequence will be: createNode("do")
, createNode("forward")
followed by a call to setParent(parent,child)
where parent
is the return value of the first call to createNode
and child
is the return value of the second call to createNode
. In this example createNode("do")
would return a DoProgram
, createNode("forward")
would return a ForwardProgram
and setParent(parent,child)
would call parent.add(child)
By using the various createNode
method on can imagine that the following code can be used to navigate a Robot
around a room. If you would like to look into the specifics the code can be found at GitHub.
ProgramBuilder b = new ProgramBuilder() Program program = b.do(4) { b.forward() b.left() } Robot robot = new Robot() program.executeWith(robot)
Groovy offers ample opportunities to introduce domain specific languages in a project. The BuilderSupport
class is a great tool to create domain specific languages with. Domain specific languages can bridge the communication gap between a domain expert and a developer.

Late Muzzleloader Deer Season Opens December 15
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Muzzleloader deer season reopens on December 15 in Maryland. An estimated 62,000 resident and 7,500 nonresident deer hunters enjoy pursuing deer with muzzleloaders annually. Last year, muzzleloader hunters took 6,924 deer (1,777 antlered and 5,147 antlerless) during the late season.
In Region A (Garrett and Allegany County), the total muzzleloader season bag limit is two deer – 1 antlered and 1 antlerless. On public lands in Region A, only antlered deer may be taken from December 15 through December 28. Either sex deer may be taken on December 29, 2007 in Region A. On all other lands in Region A, only antlered deer may be taken from December 15 through December 26 and either sex deer may be taken from December 27 through December 29, 2007.
In Region B (all counties except Garrett and Allegany), the total muzzleloader season bag limit is 2 antlered deer and 10 antlerless deer. Two antlerless deer must be taken before a second antlered deer is pursued. In Region B, the two-week season runs from December 15 through December 29.
Sika deer muzzleloader season is from December 15 through 29 in Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico and Worcester counties. The total muzzleloader sika deer bag limit is 2 deer, 1 antlered and 1 antlerless.
"Muzzleloader season is an integral part of our deer management strategy in Maryland," said Wildlife and Heritage Service Director Paul A. Peditto. "Maintaining a deer herd in balance with the environment and the residents of Maryland remains a priority and is also an important component in achieving healthy waterways. It's also a great time of year to be afield, whether you're carrying a primitive side-lock or a modern inline."
Muzzleloader deer hunting combined with archery and firearm deer hunting seasons provides outdoor recreation for over 74,000 Maryland citizens, and manages white-tailed deer and sika deer numbers. Hunting contributes more than $200 million annually to the state's economy.
Successful Maryland deer hunters must register their deer within 24 hours of harvest by calling 1-888-800-0121 or online at www.gamecheck.dnr.state.md.us. Before moving the deer from the place of kill, hunters must immediately attach a field tag on the deer's head and record the harvest on their Maryland Big Game Harvest Record portion of their hunting license. Both forms must be completed in ink. Upon registering the deer, hunters will be given a confirmation number that is to be recorded on the Big Game Harvest Record. See pages 32 – 33 of the 2007 – 2008 Guide to Hunting & Trapping in Maryland for detailed registration instructions.

Dr Shinya Yamanaka, a stem cell scientist from Japan, has been awarded the Millennium Technology Prize for his discovery on reprogramming human cells to mimic embryonic stem cells.
His discovery means that human cells can be reprogrammed to become any cell in the body, and has prompted a new generation of research into regenerative medicine. The process, called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, took the award and became the first time the prize has been shared by two scientists, who will split the 1.2 million euros ($1.3 million; £800,000) award.
Dr Ainomija Haarla, president of Technology Academy Finland – the foundation which awards the prize every two years – said: "The International Selection Committee has to judge whether an innovation has had a favourable impact on people's lives and assess its potential for further development to benefit humanity in the future.
"The innovations of both this year's winners embody that principle. Dr Shinya Yamanaka's discovery of a new method to develop pluripotent stem cells for medical research could help combat intractable disease," BBC News reported.

Ah, the NEW YEAR.
I will admit that sometimes I wish I could make time stand still, for there have been some delicious moments in this gorgeous year that I would like to savor forever, from trips and adventures, beautiful nights on the porch, personal goals and accomplishments. I want to savor forever my beautiful daughter's youth and the true, soul-felt JOY of watching her personality form and ignite. This year our family has really gotten to know what it's like to be "our family". And though not every day is something to savor, they have always been filled with love.
Indeed I am blessed.
Life is always changing. A perfect sunset will only last for a few sweet moments. A child will only be young once. This time that we have together is right now.
I believe we all have the power to make every moment magic.
If you want to.
(I definitely want to.)
Here's to a magical 2012.

Security Force protests that started on Tuesday 2nd October┬Ācontinue this morning with a new petition of demands. After presenting a new petition with ten points┬Ālast night,┬Āthe representatives of protesters held a meeting with Secretary of Security┬ĀSergio Berni.
Among salary scale demands (a minimum of $7,000) the protesters announced their wish to "incorporate the staff to Labour Risks Insurance (ART) and to have a free choice of social benefits." Berni promised to answer all complaints by next Tuesday.
Later this morning, the Ministry of Security Nilda Garr├® issued salary payments to all Gendarmerie agents for the months of August and September. Garr├® announced the "retirements" of ten Coastguard prefecture generals and ten Gendarmerie┬Āgeneral commanders. She then appointed Carlos Jos├® Pereyra as General Commander, who replaced Juan Obdulio Sainz, and Andr├®s Manuel Monz├│n as a Prefecture General, who will replace Enrique Cingolani until the further notice.
Despite the changes, Naval Prefecture and National Gendarmerie agents decided to continue the protests.

BLAINE, Wash. - Police say a Canadian border guard was in stable condition at a hospital after she was wounded in a shooting at the Peace Arch Crossing near Blaine.
Sgt. Jennifer Pound also told The Canadian Press the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the case as an attempted murder.
After wounding the guard, a man in a van with Washington license plates killed himself.
Names of the guard and the man have not been released, and the motive for the shooting is unknown.
The third busiest crossing on the Canadian border has been closed since the shooting at 2 p.m. Tuesday. The British Columbia travel information agency DriveBC says on its website the estimated reopening time for the crossing is 4 p.m. Wednesday.

"A lot of people who don't like this trend have in their minds the way it used to be," said Snyder. "They think that's how it should be."
If the low-cost model becomes the standard for success, Snyder warns, other airlines seeking profits will follow, triggering a "race to the bottom," as every airline tries to "slash and burn costs and do everything they can to make more money by cutting back. I think that would be really unfortunate."
Denver-based Frontier Airlines "is the hope for the future," said Snyder. "They're trying to become a low-cost carrier, but they have more amenities on board, although you do have to pay for them, such as live TV and extra legroom. They're trying to offer a bit more to people."
Expect more air passengers to demand Wi-Fi and personalized entertainment choices in the coming years. Airlines may provide access to movies stored on a digital media server aboard the aircraft, or, a third-party website where passengers can watch video now or later after they de-plane. Power outlets for personal devices ought to become standard on all passenger seats, say experts, not just in first class.
But some choices, such as seating, shouldn't be limited to all or nothing. Regular carriers, say analysts, should offer more "in-between choices," like Delta's Economy Comfort or United's Economy Plus, with more legroom and other amenities for a few dollars extra.
The coming 10 years will also affect airports. Some larger markets are developing additional airports which will ease traffic congestion. But smaller cities may be at risk. Many regional airlines may abandon some small towns, as tiny airports get squeezed by rising fuel prices and shrinking profits.
What can pilots expect? Changes in federal rules will require additional and more expensive training for new pilots, many of whom will earn a starting salary of about $20,000 a year, said Miller. Experts fear the result will be a temporary shortage of airline pilots, which might force airlines to take on the cost of pilot training. That expense likely would be passed on to consumers.
New equipment
On the bright side, the coming decade will bring more fuel efficient aircraft. Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner started U.S. routes this month.
Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier's much anticipated CSeries boasts a variable speed, multi-gear engine that aims to save 20% more fuel than its competitors. The first CSeries plane is expected to begin service in 2014.

Right Field: The farm system's next calling
Posted on April 13th, 2010 by azruavatar in Allen Craig, Joe Mather, Jon Jay, Tyler HenleyEstablishing a starting pitcher appears to be well under way with Jaime Garcia. The minors has produced a handful of players the Cardinals have considered for the hot corner in David Freese, Joe Mather and Allen Craig with the former apparently winning the position. So what's the next need that will arise? It's almost certainly right field.
Ryan Ludwick was signed to a 1-year contract in January and will be in his last season of club control in 2011. At 5.45M in 2010, he's likely to be worth his salary. Assuming $4M/WAR, Ludwick would need to produce around 2.2 WAR on the season.* CHONE projected him for a 2.0 WAR season in 2010. He's now a year removed from the monstrous 5 WAR season he had in 2008.
So what would a 2 WAR season look like for Ludwick? Well, a lot like 2009. He hit for a .336 wOBA (.269/.329/.467) against a league average of .329. Ludwick has continued to be an average fielder in RF and projected that way again in 2010 by CHONE. So Ludwick amassing a .340 wOBA over about 600PAs would get him into the 2 WAR level. That's not a tall order for him and he certainly has the capacity to produce well beyond that.
But 2011 is a trickier topic. He'll make more money, likely approaching 9M**, meaning he'll need to be producing at a higher rate something closer to 3 WAR. If he plays well in 2010 that arbitration salary could be eve higher. Regardless of the specifics of his 2011 contract, the Cardinals are going to be hard pressed to keep Ludwick around because of the financial constraints imposed by 3 big pitching contracts and a pair of mega position player contracts.
So, who in the system has a chance of being that replacement in 2011? Well, the first and possibly best bet are a pair of recent grads residing on the major league roster already. Joe Mather is currently relegated to a backup CF role and it might be to the detriment of the team overall as he represents a nice combination of defense and potential offense. With the need to hold him in reserve for emergency CF duties, the likelihood is that he won't see consistent or even significant playing time. Mather's window for creating a Jayson Werth (or even a Ryan Ludwick!) type career for himself has been hampered by recent wrist injuries and, like everyone not named Benjamin Button, he isn't getting any younger.
Allen Craig, having already seen time in RF in 2010, is the second candidate to consider. I've written about him extensively and, perceived organizational indifference towards his defense aside, I like his bat to be the most prolific of the right field candidates for the future.
On the minor's side, the Cardinals will look for a pair of players to put together strong seasons at Memphis and create viable alternatives to Mather/Craig. Jon Jay, repeating his time in Memphis is the most serious contender. 2008 represented an offensive zenith for Jay as he posted very good numbers in Springfield (.306/.379/.407) over 400+ PAs. Jay's 2009 tour at Memphis was underwhelming with a .338 OBP but his major calling card would be the completeness of his game in RF. A plus defender in the outfield, his minor league numbers have been nothing short of fantastic. He looks to be worth upwards of a full win in the field so the offensive threshold for being a productive player is much lower for Jay. Simply being league average offensively makes him a better than average player.
More of a long shot but one of my favorite players in the system right now is Tyler Henley. More along the lines of Jay than Craig, Henley is an above average fielder (only slightly by the metrics but I like him as +5 in a corner) and an good hitter who has yet to misstep in the minors. Henley's options and limited time in the minors make his ascension somewhat less likely as he's not even on the 40-man roster yet. It's hard to completely discount Henley but he faces the largest obstacles on the list.
There's a handful of players that aren't real options in Memphis. Amaury Cazana Marti (age), Shane Robinson (lack of offense) and Mark Shorey (defense) are not real options in RF. In Springfield, Adron Chambers and Daryl Jones are too far removed from the majors to be considered real candidates. It's not impossible that the Cardinals will retain Ryan Ludwick in 2011. The possibility of saving $8M while only taking a minor downgrade on paper is hard to ignore though. With the amount of committed dollars the Cardinals have in the next few years and the impending re-signing of one Albert Pujols, Ryan Ludwick represents the easiest expensive player for the team to replace.
*This includes the typical 60% discount that player contracts in Arb year 2 represent. Thus, Ludwick needs to produce at a level consumate with a $9M free agent.
** Arb year 3 represents a 80% discount from free agent prices.

Not a fan of ergo
For myself, I am not a fan of the Ergo. I find it just doesn't fit me right. I prefer a cross over strap, make me feel confident and comfortable.

Hey Iowa!
Hey everybody! Statue of Liberty is back in Iowa and the Midwest for a short tour, and we've been having a blast. We left a dark and snow-covered Colorado early on a Thursday morning around 4am, with the thermometer reading a frosty five degrees. BRRR!! Not an ideal start for a tour. Driving out of the snow and into the sunrise, however, made it all worth it! Since arriving in Iowa we've played shows in Des Moines and Ames, and we are looking... Read More

Biography of Calvin L Skinner – Part 1 – Second Son, School Years
Father's Day is tomorrow and it seems appropriate to jot down some thoughts about my Dad.
The story got out of hand, so I'll cut it up and run some each day until I reach the end.
Calvin LeRoy Skinner was born in Wilmington, Delaware June 8, 1916, the second son of Addie Watling and Roy Skinner.
His mother was running a corner store. She already had son George when she became pregnant with Dad.
I was interviewing her in her 95th year and she suddenly asked,
"Are you in favor of abortion?"
"I don't know, Grandmom," I replied, not knowing where she was going.
"Well, you better not, because you wouldn't be here if I had followed my girlfriends' advice."
Her girl friends suggested if she had a second child she would have to close the store.
The family also lived in Chester, Pennsylvania, and on various rental farms in Maryland, two I know of were in Queen Anne's County.
Dad's father was a handyman-builder and farmer. He built their home in Chester. At one point his mother worked in a fireworks factory in Chestertown, Maryland, that blew up. She led survivors to safety, crawling under a wire fence.
The family lived on rental farms, one of which was next to his future wife Eleanor Stevens near Barclay, Maryland.
Another was on a road where he and his father saw a black man lynched. They were walking home as the mob was stringing the poor man up. (I wrote Maryland officials interested in lynching, but none are listed in Queen Anne's County after 1891. I figure this probably occurred in the 1920′s, but Maryland statistics show no lynchings in that decade.)
The last farm was near Route 50 east of Crumpton and Dad farmed it during World War II when his father became unable to do so.
As a high schooler, Dad excelled in agriculture, becoming President of the Maryland 4-H All-Stars. (He must have had a politically astute Ag teacher to win the convention held in Fredericksburg, Maryland.)
As a kid he broke his arm falling out of a tree. His father set it. The result was a slightly bent arm the rest of his life, left, I think.
After graduating from Sudlersville High School, the same year as his future wife Eleanor, in the summer before attending the University of Maryland, he may have received the first student loan.
The local banker asked him,
"Calvin, how are you going to pay for college?"
Dad told him he was going to work his way through.
"Here's a check book. If you ever need money, write a check."
Dad got his first car, a Model T with a rumble seat, I believe, when he walked by a man on a road who couldn't get his vehicle restarted.
"You want it?" he asked.
My father answered in the affirmative.
"It's yours," the owner said and walked away.
Tomorrow, Cal Skinner, Sr.'s story continues with Part 2

Sweat Test
How It Is Done
The sweat test is usually done on a baby's right arm or thigh. On an older child or adult, the test is usually done on the inside of the right forearm. Sweat is usually collected and analyzed from two different sites.
- The skin is washed and dried, then two small gauze pads are placed on the skin. One pad is soaked with a medicine that makes the skin sweat, called pilocarpine. The other pad is soaked with salt water.
- Other pads called electrodes are placed over the gauze pads. The electrodes are hooked up to an instrument that produces a mild electric current, which pushes the medicine into the skin.
- After 5 to 10 minutes, the gauze pads and electrodes are removed, and the skin is cleaned with water and then dried. The skin will look red in the area under the pad that contained the medicine.
- A dry gauze pad, paper collection pad, or special tubing is taped to the red patch of skin. This pad is covered with plastic or wax to prevent fluid loss (evaporation).
- The new pad will soak up the sweat for up to 30 minutes, then it is removed and placed in a sealed bottle. It is then weighed to measure how much sweat the skin produced, and it is checked to find out how much salt chemical (sodium and/or chloride) the sweat contains. Another testing method collects the sweat into a coil (macroduct technique).
- After the collection pad is removed, the skin is washed and dried again. The test site may look red and continue to sweat for several hours after the test.
The sweat test usually takes 45 minutes to 1 hour.

A Mom Blog Social Network
I am hoping to get some helpful tips from this discussion as I am struggling with this. Of course I love my family and want to put their needs first, but how do I not turn into a walking zombie from staying up til 2a.m. and be successful with my blog/website?
Thank you for your support!
I have shown my daughter how when I write something it shows up on the webpage, so other people can read it. She thinks it's pretty cool so I get some done, otherwise I do it during quiet time or after bed. It gets a little easier as they get older, but nap time can be a great opportunity too.
I have the same problem sometimes. I try to get everything done by the time the kids get home from school but sometimes it doesn't work that way. :) I usually have to wait until they go to bed. Sometimes my oldest will volunteer to bathe the baby and thats when I get to get a little more time to focus on my blogging but sometimes I just have to let it wait until the next morning. Take a deep breathe and focus on the most important first. :)
I work best with a schedule!
I am trying to find the balance between family, school, blogging, and having some "me" time for myself. Life is so hard sometimes but you just gotta do what you can.
Anyone got some good tips for a schedule?
I put set my mindset that things are easier than I make them sometimes. I have decided that I sometimes make things harder than they are! :) may sound cheeeesy but it's true. Just the simple task of letting my oldest bathe my baby some nights makes things a little easier. She loves helping and the job gets done. :)
Sometimes I think this is the most challenging aspect of being a mom. Making a list of your goals and priorities can help when making a schedule...if it's really important to you, you'll make time for it. Also, being realistic about what time of day works best for what activity (ie. blogging when the kids are in school, napping or in bed...). Also, I think we have to realize that we can't always do everything every day. For example, taking some "me" time might take the place of blogging or something else. It's still important, though - you have to take care of your kids' mom, right? :)
That is correct!! I had to make my husband understand how important this is to me and that I am blogging for all of us. He was a little more supportive when I showed him a video of what I was doing. He then began helping more with the children and helping bathe them and doing little things to take some things off of me. I loved that he was getting interested! :)
That's a great question...one I struggle with daily while working on www.raspberryprairie.com. It seems there are an infinite number of things you could do online to work on your blog, design your blog, promote your blog, etc. But I try to say that I am only one person and the more I try to do the less return I see on my time investment, ya know? So, I would give yourself X amount of time each day -- and hold yourself to it. As my grandma always said, tomorrow is another day!
girl, i've got to say it depends on your goals. when i started my blog to get my voice out there and meet other moms, i was able to blog after bedtime (it's why i named it after bedtime blog) and socialize and blog hop in the mornings. now that i run a business from my blog - wordpress design, moving blogs, website evaluations, training - i work from 4am to 7am, during the kids' naptime and from 9pm to 11 or midnight. so i do walk around like a zombie these days. lol
I have teens so it is getting a little bit easier because they understand when I'm working on the blog. I work a full time job and have many sporting events to attend because my kids are very active, but I do best with a schedule. It keeps me on track!
I am a stay at home mom, so i try to work on my blog while their napping or after they go to bed. I also make sure I have equal time for my husband and house work!

Born on September 4, 1981, in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé Knowles first captured the public's eye as lead vocalist of the R&B group Destiny's Child. She later established a solo career, becoming one of music's top-selling artists with sold-out tours and a slew of awards. Knowles has also starred in several films, including Dream Girls. She married hip-hop recording artist Jay-Z in 2008.
"Whenever I'm out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don't want to take care of anything. I drop it. I'm relaxed. I don't have any shoes on. No makeup."
Early Life and Career
Born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles on September 4, 1981, in Houston, Texas, Knowles started singing at an early age. As a child, she competed in local talent shows, and won many of these events by impressing audiences with her natural singing and dancing abilities.
Teaming up with her cousin, Kelly Rowland, and two classmates, Beyoncé formed an all-female singing group. Her father, Matthew Knowles, served as the band's manager. The group went through some name and line-up changes before landing a record deal in 1997 with Columbia Records. Destiny's Child soon became one of the most popular R&B acts, with the release of their first, self-titled album. Gaining momentum, the group scored its first No. 1 single on the pop charts with "Bills, Bills, Bills," off their second album. The recording also featured another smash hit, "Say My Name."
While enjoying her group's success, Beyoncé began exploring other projects. She made her acting debut in 2001 with a starring role in MTV's Carmen: A Hip Hopera. She then co-starred with Mike Myers in the spy parody Goldmember the following year. On the musical front, Beyoncé took center stage as a solo artist, releasing her first album, Dangerously in Love, in 2003. The recording became a huge success for her, both commercially and critically. It sold millions of copies and won five Grammy Awards. On the album, Beyoncé worked with a number of different artists, including Missy Elliott, Sean Paul and Jay-Z. She was rumored to be dating Jay-Z around this time, but the couple did not publicly acknowledge their relationship.
Destiny's Child released their last studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, in 2004, and officially broke up the following year.
Solo Career
On her own, Beyoncé continued to enjoy great success. Her second studio album, 2006's B'Day featured such hits as "Irreplaceable" and "Beautiful Liar." On the big screen, she starred opposite Jennifer Hudson, Jaime Foxx and Eddie Murphy in Dreamgirls. The film was adapted from the hit Broadway musical of the same name.
In 2008, Beyoncé married rapper and music mogul Jay-Z in a small, private ceremony in New York City. Among the guests sighted at the wedding were Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles; her father and manager Matthew; her sister Solange; Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams; and friend Gwyneth Paltrow.
The newlywed continued to work as hard as ever, promoting her latest effort, I am ... Sasha Fierce (2008). Beyoncé scored two big hits off the album—"Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" and "If I Were a Boy." She also returned to the big screen that year, starring as R&B legend Etta James in Cadillac Records.

What constitutes 20% for "cheats" in a Paleo lifestyle?
I think that the goal should be striving for 100%. The 20% is the inevitable "cheat" that occurs when you go out to eat, are invited to a party, etc. In other words, it's not so much about intentionally eating 20% of your calories in the form of "non-paleo" foods such as bread, beer, sugar, etc. It's to account for the fact that life will throw you curveballs and cookies and chocolate cake. |
Shoot for 100%, hit 80%.. if you shoot for 80%, you'll hit 60%. |
i eat only meat/chick/seafood, green veg, nuts + eggs for every meal 7 days a week except for one meal - my "cheat meal" which i usually have on a saturday or sunday night and i can eat whatever i want. i try to stay away from gluten and dairy though as being so strict during the week really means i bloat up like nothing else and it actually gives me bad tummy pains! last weekend for example my cheat meal was pancakes made with 1 cup buckwheat flour, maple syrup, saltanas, icecream, thickened cream + some dark chocolate. it was DELISH. apparently my cheat meal also helps to reset my metabolism and keep burning fat efficently (fat loss is my ultimate goal) this really works for me. if during the week i see something i really fancy i just put it on "lay by " until my cheat day! find what works for you!!! |

My general rule is no non-primal food in the house. Of course, I make exceptions here as well - I will keep beer, wine, mead and spirits around, but I don't drink every day; I keep rapadura (raw cane) sugar around and a couple times a week might put a teaspoon in my coffee or tea; I fairly regularly use raw (unpasteurized, straight from the farm - even thought it's illegal in Canada!) and/or fermented dairy products. If I get invited over to a friend's house or plan to go out for a meal then I might indulge in something off the primal menu if it looks really delicious, like sushi or dim sum or a piece of naan with my curry. I really can't afford the time or money to eat out more than one or two meals a week, so it regulates itself pretty well. |
Like Bex, I don't keep any non-paleo food that I'm interested in around, My kids aren't 100% primal/paleo, so there are things that they'd be interested in... though less and less so. If there's no Pirate Booty in the house, they can't eat it, right? I agree with FED that the 20% is to capture things like eating out. |
For me, it's about not stressing about what's 'paleo' and just trying to eat a nutrient-rich, mostly whole foods diet that makes me feel and look my absolute best. It approximates the diet that my ancestors probably ate before agriculture, which makes intuitive sense to me, but I'm not at all hesitant to eat non-paleo foods in moderation as long as I continue to feel healthy and not see any reoccurance of my many pre-diet-change health issues. I honestly don't give a shit about being 'compliant' to arbitrary rules about my diet, and I don't feel a second of guilt for eating things that aren't paleo. To me, that's unhealthy thinking - although I suppose it's very different for people who are doing this for weight loss and need to be strict to get results. I've never had a problem with binging on junk foods, and while I definitely had strong cravings for wheat when first giving it up, I am now not at all tempted to eat foods that make me feel poorly. If I didn't clearly have gluten intolerance I would DEFINITELY make bread part of my '20%'- but as it is, not worth it at all. I eat starchy tubers which many people don't consider 'paleo' - but I do. I also eat lots of dairy (well, mostly dairy fat, and some cheese) and white rice. With more moderation and more rarely, I drink beer and liquor, and eat corn tortillas, sugar in ice cream and chocolate, hummus, and other beans. |
The easiest way to deal with this is to do the best you can to be 100% and when you can't you can fall into that 20% without guilt. If you use the 20% every day or each week, you'll likely find yourself non paleo or cheating more than not and that wont be good. I believe this rule is there so you remove the guilt and rigidness of traditional "diets" that so many of us have fallen victims to. This gives freedoms to accept and just enjoy good foods without aCll the guilt. |
Personally, I don't really have any temptation at all to "cheat". I have been eating nothing but steak and potatoes for months, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. The only problem is that I occasionally "cheat" because my employer requires I take an hour lunch outside the office, and I end up buying some fast food out of boredom once or twice a month while I listen to the radio. Next job I take is going to be one that does not require me to take lunches, since it's pretty much a complete waste of my time and screws up my diet. |
