Lance Berkman aggravated a calf injury pursuing a foul pop-up on Wednesday night. Now, the team must decide whether a DL stint is necessary.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Lance Berkman (that phrase still sounds odd, since no one but Albert Pujols had manned that position for the last decade) didn't play in his team's weekend series against the Cubs due to a lingering calf injury. He and the team felt rest would get Berkman back in playing shape.
Berkman returned to the lineup on Tuesday and played all 10 innings of the Cardinals' win over the Reds that night. Wednesday, though, brought a different story. Jennifer Langosch:
"I think the DL is a possibility, for sure," said Berkman, who reinjured his leg while trying to lunge for a fifth-inning popup in right-field foul territory.
Berkman took a bad step during his pursuit, and the ball fell foul. He finished the inning in the field, but was pinch-hit for in the bottom half of the frame.
"I'm not saying they need to throw me on [the DL] immediately," Berkman said. "But we waited a week, essentially, and it has kind of reared up again. The bottom line is that whatever you do, you want to make sure that once you do it that it is behind you, so it's not something that you have to battle all year."
The Cardinals and Reds play a getaway afternoon game on Thursday, and Berkman is currently listed as "day-to-day", so it's possible he'll sit while management decides what to do. Matt Carpenter played first base (and was quite productive) during Berkman's weekend absence, and could fill in again. If Berkman does head to the DL, the team could call up power-hitting prospect Matt Adams, currently hitting .389 at Triple-A Memphis.

KALISPELL, Mont. — For almost 40 years, Don Scharfe at Rocky Mountain Outfitter has been the go-to guru for adventuring in the wild
People often ask, "What have you been up to lately, Don?"
He smiles a humble smile that hides behind his gray mustache. He's not one to toot his own horn. In fact he'll just as likely begin with a disclaimer before anything: "I'm kind of a boring guy. I just climb and hike and ski. I've lived in the same house for 35 years. And I've owned the same business all these years."
Don't be fooled. Don Scharfe is anything but humdrum.
Since opening an outdoors sports store called Rocky Mountain Outfitter almost 40 years ago on Main Street in Kalispell, Scharfe has become a go-to guru for exploring the great outdoors in Northwest Montana.
He has summited many of the highest mountain temples throughout Glacier National Park, the Rocky Mountains and Europe. He has toured the backcountry frontier and hiked the spine of the Continental Divide for weeks at a time.
But equally impressive, Scharfe has also sustained a small store through national recessions and local downturns. He survived a business exodus to the burgeoning north side of town and adapted to the rise of Internet commerce.
What Scharfe opened in 1976 as a simple shop offering gear and equipment for backpacking, Nordic skiing and climbing has become a beloved mainstay and trusted institution for generations of explorers and recreationists.
"Don has helped a lot of people and changed a lot of lives by getting people in the wilderness," said Chris Evans, a well-known local kayaker.
Scharfe has developed an encyclopedic knowledge of the region's peaks and drainages, and he freely shares any advice that could help a fellow explorer. He also is just as likely to ask someone if they want to join his next adventure.
"I try to be inspirational for young people," Scharfe said. "Maybe they see me doing these peaks and then they get involved."
He stays involved with the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation and was there in the beginning when the Glacier Country Avalanche Center was founded.
Scharfe and his community stewardship and outdoors involvement have shaped RMO's identity. He surrounds himself with skilled and knowledgeable staff members who are also active and involved.
"Sometimes I feel like we're a travel agency in here," Scharfe said. "But that's how we really make it. We really know this country."
Customers can also rely on a consistent style inside RMO. It's true-to-roots vintage.
The selection of gear and apparel has grown over the years, but in a very particular way. Most people would think the emergence of larger stores would threaten a small locally owned shop like RMO. But Scharfe has taken an optimistic point of view instead.
"I'm not too worried about (the large retail stores). They're great and so big, they're going to do great," Scharfe said. "But when you have these really big stores that get bigger and bigger, it so defines a store like this."
The Internet has proven to be a larger concern. Equipment and apparel can be sold online for cheaper than what Scharfe pays. For a small business, there's no competing against that. But he learned to adapt over the years, which explains why RMO features brands that are more specialty than mainstream. Instead of scouring the Internet for a particular high-quality ski binding, customers can trust that Scharfe has already found it for them.
The lineup of merchandise also helps define the identity of RMO.
"My customers want to put a coat on and not see every high school kid wearing it," Scharfe said, laughing.
At 60 years old, Scharfe remains RMO's restless dean. Ask him what he's been up to lately outside of work, and you're likely to hear an adventure story that rivals an episode featuring Bear Grylls or Survivorman.
To celebrate his 60th birthday in March, Scharfe set a goal for himself: bag 60 different peaks. He achieved a similar goal when he turned 50, but the stakes were higher this time around and his body certainly wasn't any more nimble.
"When I set a goal like that, it forces me in a positive way to go bag peaks and see new country," he said. "I've had unsuccessful hikes and had to turn around. I have a lot of them that I spent eight to 10 hours on but couldn't count them if I didn't reach the peak."
With less than two weeks left in 2012, how many peaks had he successfully summited?
Hiding that smile behind his mustache, Scharfe quickly responded with his disclaimer — "I really don't want to toot my own horn."
Well, did he at least reach 60?
"I've done 79 so far," he said.
Forty of his climbs were first ascents, including 14 in the Canadian Rockies. He successfully reached Vulture Peak - the 13th tallest in Glacier Park at 9,638 feet — and many of the other alpine skyscrapers.
Scharfe's wife Colleen joined on several milestone hikes and so did friends. But on some of them Scharfe went alone.
In his younger days, he was very goal oriented, trying to attack mountains faster and more aggressively.
"But I see something different now that I didn't see then," he said. "It's hard to explain."
As an example, he shared a story about skiing the day before. He went up a drainage that he'd been up countless times and he found himself suddenly stopped in his tracks, his mouth aghast.
"It was just so beautiful. I kept saying, 'I can't believe this. I can't believe how beautiful this is with the trees and the colors and the mountains,'" he said. "I might have missed that when I was (younger). It might not have penetrated as much."

My daughter Eva commenced Learning Land with Wynne last year in Letters and Numbers. She loved it so much that she could not wait till Tuesday each week and always made sure her scrap book was full of colour each weekend before the next class so that she could get her sticker from Wynne at the beginning of each class. Eva only missed one class because she was sick and also a couple because we went on holidays (much to her disappointment). I liked how Wynne always had the work set aside in a pouch and we could complete it at home, this way Eva never missed a letter or any of the activities. Eva loved making the things associated with each letter and we still have them all put away safely in a box and pull it out from time to time. This ye

Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
NPR'S Adam and Eve Story
All science can say is that there was never a time when only two people existed on the earth: it is silent on whether or not God began a special relationship with a historical couple at some point in the past. This subtle but extremely important point was missed entirely in the NPR story.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Series: Genetics, Theology, and Adam as a Historical Person
Denis Alexander begins this five part series by discussing both what a model is and whether it is appropriate to use one when building a bridge between scientific truths and theological truths. Providing evolutionary facts about the origins of humans as well as discussing the origin and meaning of Adam in Genesis, he constructs what he calls a Retelling model and a Homo divinus model. Both approaches, he concludes, "suggest that human evolution per se is irrelevant to the theological understanding of humankind made in the image of God."
Made in the Image of God: Theological Implications of Human Genomics
The tenth anniversary of the human genome has been marked by some striking new genetic insights into human evolution and diversity. Do these new discoveries have any significance for the dialogue between science and religion?
Does Genetics Point to a Single Primal Couple?
Is the human race descended from one ancestral pair in the recent past? Are we, as C.S. Lewis puts it in his Chronicles of Narnia, the "sons of Adam and daughters of Eve"?
What Are We to Make of Adam and Eve?
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
Scripture vs. the Facts? Working through a Crisis of Understanding
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Distinctions: "Ancestry"
What does it mean to be human? For the Christian, the answer is complex. In part, it is a reflection of being created in the image of God. But does the science of human evolution pose a threat to that uniqueness?

The Process Behind the Perforation
Our friends at NOTCOT recently posted a feature about the design and development of our new Perforated Snap Case, so we thought we'd share the expanded version of the conversation with Joe (Chief Design Officer) and Markus (Vice President of Design) here. Visit NOTCOT to enter their giveaway of our Perforated Snap Cases, but don't wait too long–they're picking a winner on Friday, December 11.
What inspired you to create a perforated iPhone case?
The Snap Case (non-perforated) form factor is our lightest, most minimal case in our iPhone case product lineup. The inspiration for perforation stemmed from the idea to further minimize the case by reducing weight without taking away the functional aspect of it being a protective solution.
The first idea that came to mind was using a simple, geometric pattern. From there, we started exploring how to perforate our Snap Case with different shapes, scales and pattern densities, pushing the limits of what is possible to manufacture.
Describe the design and development process for the Perforated Snap Case.
At the start of any product development process, we begin with a team brainstorm session to generate as many ideas as possible. From there we narrow it down to the most promising concepts and refine them with sketching and rendering. Once an idea is committed to, the design team builds a 3D CAD model, which serves as a database to create Stereolithography models, a prototyping process that enables us to print a desired shape in 3D.
Next, we test the prototypes and further refine the geometry. A final design is then agreed upon and we analyze and study its geometry to determine manufacturing feasibility. Once a product passes this stage, the tooling process can commence.
To start the tooling process, we begin with large blocks of steel and machine out the negative shape of our case to make a hollow form that is later injected with polycarbonate material. Because of the all-over perforated design of the Perforated Snap Case, the tooling process is very intricate and takes a relatively long period of time to accomplish. Individual steel pins with varying degrees of curvature for each hole are needed to create the perforated design.
Once the tool is cut, it is then textured and finished. Following this stage of tooling, we shoot the first test shots in plastic, which help us to further debug and finalize the tool as well as the injection settings to create the perfect molded part for the production run.
What types of engineering challenges did the Perforated Snap Case pose?
Injection molding makes it relatively easy to perforate a pattern in one direction, but for the Perforated Snap Case, we were challenged with wrapping a pattern evenly onto a surface that contains multiple directions and very thin wall sections. Our goal was to keep the perforated pattern aligned regardless of the angle from which it is viewed. Because of the curves of the case, it became rather challenging to determine the best way to mold it.
Our product development process is one of continual refinement—we go through many prototypes and trials in order to find the one that will work best for manufacturing.
Please describe the intricacies of the tool and the mold injection.
For the injection molding process, we use hardened steel tools that are the negative (or hollow) form of our case. These are necessary for the mold injection of plastic that creates the positive case form.
Thin steel pins within the tool create the intricate perforated pattern of the case. When in production, injection-molded plastic flows under high pressure and temperature in between the pins. The challenge is to find the perfect balance—the pins cannot be too small, since that would cause them to break under high pressure; and the spacing cannot be too dense, as material needs to flow through the mold easily and evenly.
Since the perforated pattern runs throughout the case, multiple complicated tool actions are required to achieve a consistent pattern.
How many holes are in the case?
Nearly 1000.
Are there benefits to using this case over another iPhone case? How does it differ from other cases on the market?
Our Snap Case is our most minimal case and provides just the slightest elevation around the bezel, which allows the iPhone widescreen to be raised above a surface while it lies on its front face. The design of the Perforated Snap Case gives a unique surface texture, resulting in a better grip because of the pattern. And of course, its perforated design adds visual interest as well.
Texture and Style: Perforated Snap Case for iPhone 3GS/3G
Instantly add visual interest to your iPhone without adding weight with the new Perforated Snap Case. The Snap Case is the newest in our lineup of cases for iPhone 3GS/3G and is a low profile, one-piece protective solution for your iPhone.

Precision-engineered to be the lightest weight case in our iPhone product offering, the Perforated Snap Case attaches easily and securely, providing device coverage, scratch protection and direct access to all iPhone features.
The Perforated Snap Case is available now for $29.95 in White, Black and Magenta in our webstore. (Also be sure to check out the Perforated Snap Case for iPod nano.)

They must have revamped the site recently, because it has a ton of information I don't recall in the past. The arguments they put forth for their brand vs. other resveratrol supplements are very compelling in my opinion. What do you guys think?
It seems a little pricey, but considering it contains 40mg of trans-resveratrol, its probably not a bad value. Especially if it really activates Sir1 as well as they claim... calorie restriction in a pill is sexy

SOURCE: Droll Yankees
When natural food sources are most scarce in February, Droll Yankees urges everyone to "just feed birds, and make a world of difference."
Plainfield, CT (PRWEB) February 01, 2013
In the New Year, many of us are looking to make a greater impact and change things for the better. But for most of us, it's not possible to make big changes right away. During National Bird Feeding Month in February, Droll Yankees – the leading manufacturer of bird feeders in the United States – is showing everyone how to start small, and make a world of difference for the environment.
Just feed birds.
Feeding birds aids biodiversity by giving birds the energy they need to survive cold fall and winter days, spring and fall migration, spring nesting, and summer brood raising. Birds who have access to bird feeders as an extra food source are more likely to survive and raise healthy offspring. The generations of birds raised in your own yard serve as a natural form of insect control, reducing (and in many cases, eliminating) the need for pesticides. Less pesticides used create safer yard spaces for you, your children, and your pets; and result in cleaner waterways (less hazardous runoff is produced after rainstorms), increasing our quality of life and the beauty of our environment.
In nature, everything is connected. So even hanging one bird feeder - and keeping it clean for the birds that use it – makes a world of difference, not only for birds, but also for us humans. And feeding birds in your backyard will bring you years of enjoyment.
To start making a world of difference in 2013, look for Droll Yankees bird feeders at your local retailer, call Droll Yankees at 888-851-6621, or shop online at http://www.drollyankees.com.
In 1969, Droll Yankees started a bird-feeding revolution with Model A-6F, the first tubular bird feeder. Since then, Droll Yankees has built on that success, continually developing innovative approaches to bird feeding that benefit both the birds and Droll Yankees customers. Generations of bird lovers have appreciated Droll Yankees' quality construction, functional simplicity, and commitment to American workers. Droll Yankees offers a Lifetime Warranty and will replace any squirrel-damaged or defective parts, free of charge. To learn more about Droll Yankees' products, visit http://www.drollyankees.com.

Jenni Carlson, a sports columnist at The Oklahoman since 1999, came by her love of sports honestly. She grew up in a sports-loving family in Kansas. Her dad coached baseball and did color commentary on the radio for the high school football games. Her mom kept the scorebook during baseball games and yelled her head off no matter the sport. They passed along that passion to Carlson and her two younger brothers.
Carlson played golf in high school and planned to play in college, but when she started at the University of Kansas, she decided to focus her attention on journalism. It's a decision that she's never regretted.
Her first big story was a profile on Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams for the yearbook, and Carlson has enjoyed interviewing sports figures and sharing their stories every since.
Carlson is a 1997 graduate of Kansas. She and her husband, Ryan, were married in 2009 and live in Oklahoma City. They welcomed their first child, Millie, in June 2012. Carlson was the president of the Association for Women in Sports Media from 2008-10 and chair of the board from 2010-12.

I wouldn't be on the internet asking questions, I would be talking to the municipality. There are specific rules that govern the positioning of a potable water line in relation to a sanitary line, and it is apparent they did not follow them.
My neighbor had a new water line installed. When the company they hired pushed the water line through the ground they hit and broke my sewer line, which is actually a community sewer line that I share with at least one other neighbor. Since they had their water line installed I have been getting sewage backing up into my basement about once every 3-4 weeks. I've tried talking to my neighbor and the company that installed their water line but haven't gotten anywhere with them. The company that installed the water line says its not their fault because they didn't know the water line was there and my neighbor doesn't want to pay to get it fixed. Does anyone here have any suggestions for me? Can I go to the water department and get their water line condemned until they get it fixed? I'm not sure what I can do short of hiring a lawyer and sueing them so anything would help. thank you very much.
I wouldn't be on the internet asking questions, I would be talking to the municipality. There are specific rules that govern the positioning of a potable water line in relation to a sanitary line, and it is apparent they did not follow them.
The neighbor should repair any lines that were broken.
It's his water service replacement that caused the damage.
The first thing that is done before any excavating is to get locates for any underground services. If they did this and still hit something they are still liable to fix it.The company that installed the water line says its not their fault because they didn't know the water line was there
Locates don't establish where the sewer line to a property is.
Only for things like
Locates don't find side sewers or water services.
The contractor should fix the line where it has been broken, but the homeowner is contracting and paying for the work.
Is the homeowner saying, Sorry, I hired a hack and now it's "your" problem?
I can't imagine replacing someone water service, drilling and ruining a sewer line by accident and then just leaving the job.

Unless you get immediate action to remedy this, I would urge you to contact an attorney. If there is need for legal action, to sooner the attorney has the case, the better. You should not have to fight this on your own. Trying to be Mr. Nice Guy and avoid hiring legal help is just asking for trouble.
I once had a job where the telephone company drilled their wire through a sewer, and they made the repair. NOT KNOWING where sewer lines are is a constant problem, as is drilling through them, but when it is done, whoever did it IS responsible for the repair. Here, you would call the Arizona Registrar of Contractors to "force" them to fix your sewer. (And if the did not, the state WOULD repair it, deduct the amount from the contractor's bond, then put them out of business until they repaid the amount), Illinois should have a similar agency.
I do not think you could get his water line condemned because it is under pressure. If a hole comes in the water line, it will leak out ,not into the water line. If your sewer line is clogged, you have no choice but to snake it out. If his water line is in there and gets broken or mashed so what? Also it may be some other problem that just happened about the same time. Could just be a coincident and not their fault, unless you saw or know for sure they broke your sewer line.
I would snake the sewer with a rotary saw blade. IF the water line is through the sewer, then that would take care of that problem, and it would NOT be your responsibility because it was broken.
If it's a plastic line, then a snake should be able to cut the line.
The gas company ran their gas line through my mothers clay tile sewer line. When it was snaked, it cut the gas line. It was a lot of fun after that for the gas company.
This was the high pressure plastic line before the pressure reducer.
Lucky for my mother, was that the plumber was using an outside cleanout.
Otherwise, the home could have filled up with gas and exploded.

Calling RUGOOFY - are you still here?
Thanks for all the replies. They did contact J.U.L.I.E. and the sanitation dept. but the sanitation dept. didn't know where the sewer lines were at. Terry - They have basically said that since your the one getting the sewage in your basement and we're not it's your problem. It is a plastic water line but instead of crossing the sewer pipe it runs in the same direction as the pipe for about 2-3 ft. then goes back out making it difficult to break the line. I like the rotary blade idea. I might try that the next time I clean it out. I've had it cleaned out 7 times now but the water line is still intact. One thing I forgot to mention is that the sewer line is a community sewer line with 3 houses connected to it. Mine is the lowest lying house on the line and of course the person who had the water line installed is the highest. I have contacted a lawyer in case it has to go that far and have contacted the property standards dept. for Rockford, IL. to see if I can get the city to shut their water off. and hj I'm looking to see if Illinois has something similar to the Arizona Registrar of contractors.
Gas lines through sewer lines are becoming a problem for sewer cleaners. And when you cut one you have to be "quick" to exit the house and take everyone in it with you because as soon as the gas reaches an ignition source the house is going to "GO" away.
A blade like this one should do a nice job of cleaning your sewer...

The Man Who Lounged Around The House In A Sleeping Bag
The Lengths We Islanders Will Go To Save On Heating Bills
It's a Yankee thing, like the rule for switching off lamps if you'll be out of the room for more than fifteen seconds. Yikers! For those of us with addled minds, we might stand stock still as we reason, "Brushing my teeth will take a good two minutes, if I include twisting off the cap, wetting the toothbrush, plus I've been allotting extra time for those molars. ..."
Even stopping to over-think this question burns up energy in those lamps still glowing away incandescently, expensively. Hmm, maybe it's better to stand and ponder in the dark?
Vineyarders are Yankees in a plus size. If you place these already insanely frugal, spartan New Englanders on an island where in the winter creature comforts are few and far between, deprive them of an off-season income because all the people with wallets left on Columbus Day ferries, then add to that mix of misery cold weather and higher prices for everything, absolutely everything, then you'll find a bunch of us wandering around our home sweet ice boxes wondering how we can pinch still more pennies on utility and gas bills.
What keeps us from freezing altogether indoors is the requirement to keep the walls warm enough that the pipes don't turn into the metal equivalent of the intestines of Otzi Man. So we're talkin' over 32 degrees. Colder than that and we, too, will be excavate-able in 5,300 years.
But signaling to a determinedly cheap Yankee that he can go as low as thirty-three degrees inside his home is pretty much like telling today's baseball players it's okay to pop those anabolic steroids.
Here are some of the great legends of Island Human Popsicle History:
Yes, as the title above suggests, I knew a man who'd rigged up a sleeping bag as leisure wear. He cut out two holes for his feet ("I wear four layers of socks in increasing amounts of thickness"), openings for his arms ("Underneath I always got on thermal underwear, sweatpants, sweatshirt, a coupla' sweaters"), then he zipped up the sleeping bag around his neck and, like a cherry on a Virgin Mary, popped a woolen hat on his head. He also recognized a good hint when it was properly wrapped around him: he slept in his sleeping bag.
In situations such as the above, the questioner might have a fleeting impulse to inquire, when did this person bathe and don fresh clothes? But then this moment of curiosity is replaced with a quick hard reflexive counter-notion of totally not wanting to know.
A close friend of mine, of Scottish descent, so you mix in Highlands thrift with Yankee squeeze-that-nickel with Island pure panic, lives in a drafty old Victorian house in Oak Bluffs. Like all other owners of chilly old homes, during the winter she abandons all but her kitchen and interior parlor and dining room. And then she goes a step beyond what many of us are predisposed to do: She wears a knit cap, a scarf and a jacket indoors. The first few times you visit her in the winter, you ask where she's off to. Until you realize she's off to nowhere. Were she off to somewhere beyond her front door, she'd be piling on extra layers including a tubby down coat.
One thing you learn when you've lived in a cold land for any length of time is that, well, you can stand it. Chances are good it won't kill you. Take it from an original Cali girl, before I started to visit the east coast in earnest in winter, I was downright phobic about the prospect of falling dead from one big blast of frosty air. In my early travels here in winter, I wore two layers of tights, thermal underwear, wool leggings, and that was just for starters.
In '91 when the three Nadlers moved to the Vineyard year-round, I obsessed about the possibility that our furnace would break, a nor'easter would be raging, and the electricity would sizzle out. The result? We'd die within seven minutes. I was convinced of that.
The furnace in question, by the way, had been installed in 1941 by the summer folks who owned the cottage before us. It was designed to warm up the rooms on those infrequent August nights when the fogs rolled in and the temperature dipped to sixty degrees. It wasn't designed to chug away all day and all night throughout a New England winter.
This furnace, for some unfathomable reason, had been installed in the garage. Pipes had been laid underground to churn hot air into the house. First time the unit broke down, our heating guy assessed the situation: "Sorry to tell you, folks, but most of the heat is going up into your lawn."
Our grass would be fine but we would be three human fish sticks.
I looked up sleeping bags in the Sears catalogue. I ordered three of those babies in the below-O category, the ones that keep folks alive on Mount Everest. But then I wondered, did that include Mount Everest in a storm? What about an avalanche? Perhaps no sleeping bag, of however many layers of flannel, could guarantee that happy outcome. Indeed, the slopes of Everest are strewn with mountaineers who drew their last oxygen-0 breath in their sleeping bags.
So where did that leave us? In a further panic, I pictured the three of us bundled in our bulky below-0 bags, hunched around the wood-stove, as we shivered and assured each other help would come and, in Mr. Churchill's words, to never never never never never give up.
Now I know we can get through these long frigideous nights. A lot of people rely on their sweetie pies for spooning, but for a kick-ass spinster like me, a cuddly plump furball of a dog also does the trick nicely. In fact, my dog is entirely pragmatic about the shared heat of a pair of sentient beings. In summer I rarely hear from him; he never writes, he never phones, he never texts: He's off looking for shade, indoors or out.
More can be said on this topic of keeping warm in the off off season, but my fingers are freezing up over the keyboard and, regardless of the fact that I'm already dressed in daytime clothes, it's time to pile into my yellow polar fleece, ankle-length bathrobe.
The very image of Heaven. For Eskimos ...

That beat my all time record! I usually don't make it past December. Come to think of it, I don't think the ground even froze last year. But the winter before, Oy Vey was it cold! Cold contracts, heat EXPAAANNNNDS. You can KEEP yer freakin cold!!! I!'m going to Florida!!!

My name is Austin Marques and I am looking for a deathwatch gaming group. It would be preferable if it were on the west side of town but it is not a requirement. I have asked around Phoenix games and Dreamers games and there are none there so i realize that the chances of it is on the west side of town are low. If the group met bi weekly I would probably be able to make it down as far as the event center, the source, or outpost 2000. As I am taking some advanced classes in school right now, a group that does not meet on a week night would be preferable. If anyone knows of any groups please let me know.

Tonight, after teaching piano lessons, I stopped by AC Moore, to see if there was a good sale on any yarns.
While I was there, I came across a BEAUTIFUL new color of Bernat Handicrafter Twists, called "Freshly Squeezed".
Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Twists - Freshly Squeezed by Shandeh, on Flickr
Yeah...I got it!
I just love orange and yellow. And this also has a strand of pink running through it. Sweet!
I think I'll go back again tomorrow night, because I saw another color I really like. I hope it's still there!
