In real, figuratively speaking life, I also suck at balance. It took me months to find balance as a mom of two kids. And then I finally found it, and we'd happily get up and eat breakfast and clean the house and just be together. Except that I found that balance roughly two minutes before I had to go work, and so, life kicked me off the balance beam, and I found myself face down in the dirt. Possibly crying.
To say the first two weeks back have been disastrous would be an understatement. Luke has had a really difficult time with the adjustment, much more difficult than I ever would have imagined. He's thrown temper tantrums, he's had sleep issues, he's spent countless minutes begging me to not go back to work--breaking my heart in the process. But we're getting there. Each day gets a little better.
Sunday night, I had a cleaning related meltdown. All week, the house got messier and messier and I kept thinking, I'll clean on the weekend, wanting to spend as much time as possible with the boys. Too tired to even think of cleaning. It's so hard because 8th graders take so much of my energy, and then I come home to two more balls of energy, and how on earth am I supposed to fit in vacuuming!?
But then the weekend came, and I thought, But it's the weekend! I don't want to clean! And so, I found myself at 6pm on Sunday night in a complete fit because I needed to clean the house and fold three loads of laundry in the hour before bedtime. Unfortunately when I mention the thought of hiring someone to clean to Shane, he refuses to pay someone to do something we can do on our own. And yes, I've tried the time vs. money argument and gotten nowhere. Monday, I made myself a cleaning schedule, knowing that although my heart is not in it when I get home from work, that if I break up the cleaning throughout the week, it'll make the weekends a little easier.
I'm only on day two, but as I type this, I'm sitting in a clean house. There's a load of laundry in the dryer and another waiting to be folded and put away tomorrow. Something tells me that in a few days, I might wobble back off the balance beam, but for now, my heels are dug in and I'm holding on to that balance for as long as I can.

You are doing better than I. I've been an employed mom for exactly 3 years now - to just one kid. To be brutally honest, I have no less than 3 loads clean laundry tossed in my rocking chair that have yet to be folded. Well really half of them WERE folded, and then promptly unfolded by a certain blonde 3 year old. Oh and a load in the dryer too.
Pat yourself on the back. (((hugs))) - February 3, 2010 at 6:46 AM

This is a great idea... maybe I'll start trying that. Maybe next week...

I feel as if you went into my brain and picked all my thoughts out (but wrote them in a much better and appropriate way)
as always...
I too am overwhelmed with housework. So we will both try to remain balanced together, but if we fall and end up in mud, we have to pick ourselves back up again. Yes that means more laundry, but it happens.
This whole adult balance act is very tricky, is it not? That should have been a class in high school. But I probably would have doodled all through that class too.
Love you and things will fall into place, just maybe not all the clothes.

Here's hoping that you're back up on that balance beam in no time! You have so much on your plate right now, yet it is obvious that you are handling all those challenges with love and grace. You rock! Oh, and that cleaning schedule? You MUST share!!

I am so proud of you. Have I mentioned you make me proud? I am totally proud to be your friend.
And dear GOD, let me smack Shane over the head with a cast iron frying pan about the cleaning lady. For heaven's sake, logic man, logic.
You are so amazing, which makes me totally proud.
If I didn't mention that. - February 3, 2010 at 9:37 AM

Erin, you have SO MUCH to balance - some of us don't do a very good job, and I know I have much less to balance than you do! I think you are doing just fine - I also do the 'little cleaning each day' schedule, and I find that it really helps- but I can completely understand wanting to spend every minute with your kids & not cleaning. :( Can you make games out of your chores & involve Luke??? I let Zachary play on the bed while I fold laundry at the end of the bed, and if I'm dusting I hand him a rag, too - he loves to 'help' alongside me. But I know it's still not the same as just playing together. :(

That is so fantastic! Good for you. I still struggle with this too - my house usually needs a good cleaning at least one time a week. We'll be great about the dishes for a day or two and then it just starts stacking up. I get to the weekend and get my schoolwork done and then I just don't want to deal with the house. I try to clean everyday when I first get home with my daughter for about 15 minutes (when she is all excited to see her toys and plays happily for a bit) but that's not always enough.
However, my husband would SO GO for the cleaning lady. We just can't afford it. I say you hire one and just don't tell Shane. You can tell him it's a good Samaritan that just wants to help when they show up. ;-) - February 3, 2010 at 11:23 AM

You are doing way better than I did when I was at that point in my life. I'd wait until it was unbearable and then I'd fix a big cup of coffee (usually on a Thursday night - I knew I could make it through Friday on no sleep and then hopefully recover over the weekend)and stay up all night doing laundry. I just couldn't seem to get it done in the spare two minutes between coming home and going to bed...

A cleaning schedule is a good thing to have.
It is the only thing that keeps my house from be a constant wreck.
I'm happy that your starting to have some success in adjusting to your life now that your back at work.
I hope things only get easier in the days to come. :-) - February 3, 2010 at 12:35 PM

Oh my goodness... you ARE me in another generation, time, place and body! I was there. I was you. I actually remember getting all my lists done and the house and kids and all their stuff organized... and then one day I was on my way to work and thought about the socks that I had forgotten to take out of the dryer. I agonized over those socks for... oh... about 2 seconds... then realized that my life was perfectly chaotic without those socks... !!!! I never looked back and I still make lists that never get done!!

Ugh I hear you. I don't have kids yet but I am a teacher of 5 year olds and when I come in the door at night I pretty much just collapse on the couch. I am zonked. I try to do one thing a night as well. Though the dishes always are the ones that tend to stackup over the week. I just can't. So glad my husband likes to cook at night. But he also sits on his butt all day at work. ;)

My husband wouldn't let me hire a house cleaner either. We were both working full time and all of our fights had to do with a messy house. He came to my work one day and said he had just hired a house cleaner. He figured it would be cheaper than a divorce. :)

The cleaning kills me. i did have someone cleaning for me and it was WONDERFUL. but, I have made a few bad money decisions and had to put her on hiatus for a while and this makes me sooo sad, especially, when I have to spend two - three hours of my "free" time doing the cleaning on top of the laundry and shopping and everything else that I already do. I know that balance, and I feel bruised.

I know exactly how you feel! I finally sucked it up and made Sunday night my laundry night. It's also the night where I either clean off the DVR or watch a movie, which seems to make folding laundry a little more bearable....very little. Regardless, my dryer STILL always seems to have a clean load in it, and I can rarely see my laundry room floor!
As for the cleaning help, after a few initial arguments about the money, my husband and I both agree now that it's WAY cheaper than either a divorce or marriage counseling. I have someone who comes every 2 weeks which is just enough to keep us sane without breaking the bank. I promise you, I'd happily go without cable if the choice had to be made!
Start slowly. See if Shane would agree to once a month. Even a little help goes a LONG way! - February 3, 2010 at 6:59 PM
- Hyacynth said...
You're doing so well! It's all about the little steps. And each week you'll take a step further onto the balance beam ... and before you know it, you'll be walking that bad boy like a pro.

You're doin' the best you can girl. Some days you'll fall off, some days you make it all the way across. That's just how it goes, you know? Just know we're here for you on ALL the days...

The balance is hard, I find myself trying to find it too. One day at a time, that's all you can do my friend.

- Jen@Scrapingirl said...
I made myself a cleaning list also. One thing that I have found is that I have to wash and dry on one day, then fold the next. If I have to do it all in one day. I'm overwhelmed and stressed. I've been doing it for three weeks, and I am loving it!! Good luck finding you balance. :)

10k fun begins
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 01/30/12
At 40,000 participants and still growing, it's no wonder that the homegrown Ukrop's' Monument Avenue 10k has moved into the national spotlight – even earning a USA Today ranking among the top 10 races in the country. But as several of the event's biggest fans emphasized at a Jan. 4 kick-off celebration, the 10k is much more than just a race – or even just a single event. When you consider all the preparations that go into the weeks leading up to the March 31 race – the training team workouts, registration rallies, fundraising promotions, costume-designing and party-stop planning – it's clear that the 10k is months in the making, with aspects of party, charitable benefit, self-improvement regimen and music festival combining to provide an ongoing celebration. It's also clear that having fun reins supreme. Among the 10k fans at the kick-off event at Maggiano's, for instance, were Becca Hankins and her group of uninhibited friends, who have participated in the Richmond Times-Dispatch Dress Up & Run Contest for the past three years. Their costume entries have included stints as the Pac Man Group, the RVA Curling team, and most recently, as a team of paddlers wearing cardboard kayaks and pretending to stroke their way down the course. Among other fans were four staff members from lululemon Athletica, the Short Pump Town Center athletic wear retailer and yoga boutique. At last year's 10k, the women drew smiles from spectators and runners alike with their entry in the Spirit Contest, which challenges groups of spectators to cheer on participants in the most energetic, enthusiastic and entertaining way possible. As former Washington, D.C., attorney Carolyn Manning said at the Maggiano's event, dressing in tacky costumes and waving silly signs [see photo above] came naturally to members of the lululemon staff, who see their store as more of a resource center than a retail outlet. Offering regular free yoga classes and a running club, the store has legions of loyal fans – one of whom called recently on an business trip to Richmond. Jordan Marotta, a former college field hockey coach, quoted the caller as saying, "I'm in town for a conference. Where can I do yoga?" The fact that the woman called her local lululemon store instead of consulting her hotel concierge, said Marotta, speaks volumes about the following that lululemon has achieved – offbeat name and all. "We're like the e. e. cummings of athletic wear," said Manning of the uncapitalized lululemon name, which originated in part from an Asian tradition that the letter L brings good luck. Talking trash For Holman Middle School teacher Justin Brittle, the 10k provides an opportunity to have some fun interaction with his students in ways that can't be accomplished in the math classroom. "I teach because I enjoy kids," says Brittle, who led Holman to a second place finish in the middle school category of the 10k Healthy School Challenge. "I'm not teaching because I'm a mathematician." From 2008 to 2010, Brittle coordinated the Healthy School Challenge (in which schools compete based on the percentage of total enrollment that participates in the 10k) at Short Pump Middle School. Under Brittle, SPMS consistently finished near the top of the middle school division; but after Brittle moved to Holman, his new school edged out his former school for second place in the very first year it was open. The competition between schools, however, is not nearly as important to Brittle as seeing the students challenge themselves personally. "Some of them start off [saying], "I can't run six miles,'" he says. "It's a good distance, because it's somewhat challenging, but doable. And they can be proud of themselves for doing it." What's more, says Brittle, the 10k challenge is a good community builder within the school; he enjoys drumming up interest in registering and seeing the students' reactions to his announcements and email updates. "I almost harass a lot of people," he said with a laugh, noting that about 20 teachers run in the race in addition to students. "I'll say, '[We have] 30 signed, [we have] 50 signed up. The kids start talking about it. As soon as they're registered, they can't wait to tell me." Some students, he added with a smile, enjoy challenging him in return. "They say they're going to beat me [in the race]," said Brittle. "They talk a little bit of trash." Sights and sounds Once a school reaches 50 registrants, racers are eligible for customized t-shirts that bear the school name – a step up from the generic 10k t-shirt. Brittle also sends a paper running shoe to every student who registers, which can be decorated as the child wishes and added to a banner at the school. He makes sure to slip a few educational tidbits into his email updates as well, from nutrition tips in the early weeks to 10k etiquette lessons as the race approaches. "I remind them," he said of the students, "that they're representing our school." One of his favorite things about coordinating the 10k, Brittle pointed out, is that he gets to meet other members of his students' families. "I might not have taught their brother or sister, or they weren't in my class, but they come to the 10k." Another bonus is the prize money garnered by both Short Pump and Holman for placing near the top in the Healthy School Challenge competition. One year at Short Pump M.S., Brittle was able to use the $400 to buy a disc golf set for the physical education department. But the real prize money goes to the Massey Cancer Center, which has reaped thousands from the 10k's Massey Challenge over the years. Kaity Kasper, whose Hodgkin's disease has been in remission for nine years now, was among the Massey representatives to tell her story at the preview event at Maggiano's. After years of treatment at Massey Cancer Center, she now serves on the board and runs the 10k, and at press time had already raised $1,280 toward this year's Challenge goal of $500,000. So on March 31, as runners and walkers make their way down Monument Avenue amid historic statues, towering old trees, and classic Southern homes, some spectators will surely come for the festive atmosphere. Some will come to cheer on their favorite Holman student or teacher or yellow-shirted Massey runner. Some will come to see if this year's amusing signs from the lululemon Spirit Group will top last year's, or if Becca Hankins' Dress Up and Run group can top last year's clever kayaks. But whether spectators come to play cheerleader or simply to enjoy the live bands and party stops, one thing is for certain: there will be no shortage of sights, of inspiration, or of entertainment at Richmond's biggest block party. Registration forms for the 10k and the Virginia 529 Kids Run are available at http://www.sportsbackers.org Entr.y forms are also available at all Martin's locations and YMCA branches. |

I have tried to learn C++ and Java before, but the syntax confused me. I definitely will be learning them after, but for now, where is the best place for a guy who has programmed before to learn python? Do you concur with me learning Python? Should I stick with Java or C++ before?
Start by reading existing questions and answers on this topic: |
It's easy.
The MIT: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming is a great place to start. Though I don't know what experience you've had with programming, the video lectures, assignments, practice tests, etc. seem like compelling learning tools, especially if you've had problems learning a new language in the past. If you do not excel in a semi-classroom environment, Jonathan Khoo's links provide several good resources as well. |
I would just start with the Python Tutorial, but nothing beats experience. After you learn the basics, program something! If you can't think of something to program, Project Euler can give you something to do. You'll be forced to learn some new math tricks at the same time. After you get comfortable with whatever you're currently doing, learn how to use another feature/library in Python. It also helps to have others look at your code to tell you when you're doing something wrong. If you know anybody in person that can look at your code and give you feedback, that will work best. |
"Dive into Python" You can read it on-line, download or buy the book. see: http://diveintopython.org/ For Python 3 there also updated version, "Dive into Python 3" |
In my opinion, the best place is "The Python Tutorial" available in the python documentation site. Its simple and straight forward. Other beginner book is: A Byte of Python. And after that you can take up "Thinking in Python" by Bruce Eckel (who has recommended Byte of Python for beginners). |
My answer isn't so much about where you can learn python but more about the issue of going back to C++ and Java later. A very wise person once told me that anything worth having is worth fighting for. When learning something new it always takes a bit of time. But before we know it it becomes manageable then easy. I know it probably feels frustrating as its easy to get started with programming with the idea that you're going to be able to develop great applications fairly early in. It becomes a little discouraging sometimes when this doesn't happen. I would recommend hanging in there and sticking with what you've already started. Once you've gotten the hang of one of them (Java will likely be a little easier to learn first) then start in on the other or Python if you wish. The struggle is definitely worth it in the end. There are many out there that have been in your shoes. Good luck! |
"Programming Python" by Mark Lutz is an excellent book for new Python programmers. Other then this, solving a real problem I'm having has always been the best way to learn a new language for me. If you ask 10 different people what language is best for any particular goal, you are likely to end up with 10 different answers. Personally, I find the Python approach very intuitive and natural, and the C/Java approach clunky and ugly. I know many people who feel the opposite, and there are many many more opinions. My advice: just choose a language and start programming in it. You'll quickly find out if you like it or not. If you like it, stick with it. If you don't, try something else. You will never waste your time, having knowledge of any language is a valuable asset in the long run. |

XCOR and a spaceport moving to Midland, Texas

Haven't seen this mentioned before, so I thought I'd put this here.
The personally ironic thing is that I moved FROM Midland in the early 90's specifically because there were no aerospace opportunities there. http://news.yahoo.com/xcor-aerospace-an ... 00205.html "The Midland Development Corp. and Midland City Council on Monday will consider approving a $10 million incentive deal that would bring the headquarters of" XCOR Aerospace to the area. Officials "said the investment will bring a unique and growing industry to the Permian Basin that will add the kind of diversification voters said they wanted when they approved the 4A economic development tax nearly 11 years ago." Some believe a deal could bring other companies to the area as well. XCOR "expects to expand rapidly if it can locate its headquarters in Midland and if the Federal Aviation Administration designates Midland International Airport as a spaceport, said Andrew Nelson, chief operating officer for XCOR." Nelson and others do expect the FAA to approve the spaceport, according to the article. This will put three spaceports (SP America, Midland International, and Blue Origin's private pad) in close proximity to each other, relatively speaking. |

By RACHEL C. DOVE
Staff Writer
WILLIAMSON - C. Michael Sparks, Mingo County Prosecuting Attorney, is the county official responsible for overseeing that all elections abide by guidelines set by the state to assure that legal and ethical rulings are in place that are honored and obeyed.
After having circumstances brought to his attention from several local candidates and investigating the allegations himself to verify they were based on truth and not fiction, Sparks penned a letter of request to the office of Natalie Tennant, West Virginia Secretary of State, in an attempt to receive assistance in alleviating this problem that could very easily cast yet another cloud of suspicion over Mingo County politics.
The letter reads as follows, in its entirety:
Dear Secretary of State Tennant:
Please be advised that I have been made aware of numerous irregularities in connection with the May 2012 primary election, including, but not limited to, the following:
Chief Deputy Clerk Judy Harvey and Deputy Clerk Alberta Ferguson are the election officers for the Mingo County Clerk.
Chief Deputy Clerk Harvey is the wife of Mingo Magistrate candidate Jim Harvey.
Deputy Clerk Ferguson is a cousin/relative of Commissioner Candidate and current sheriff, Lonnie Hannah.
Chief Deputy Clerk Harvey handed the campaign cards of Commissioner Candidate Hannah, Sheriff Candidate James Smith, who is currently Chief-Field Deputy and Magistrate candidate Harvey to an individual registering to vote in the County Clerk's office.
Chief Deputy Clerk Harvey advised an informant that the informant would be employed as an election worker if the informant changed their party affiliation from Democrat to Independent. The informant was thereafter asked whether they supported Commissioner Candidate Hannah in the primary election.
Numerous individuals who have long been duly registered as Republicans or Independents and routinely served as election workers in previous elections were not employed for the May 8, 2012 primary election.
Numerous election workers approved by the Mingo County Clerk's office have changed party affiliation from Democrat to Independent since Jan, 15, 2012. The majorities of those that have changed party affiliation to be employed as election workers openly support and attend campaign functions of Commissioner Candidate Hannah, Sheriff Candidate Smith, Prosecuting Attorney Candidate Charles West and Magistrate candidate Harvey.
On Friday, April 6, 2012, after 4:20 p.m., Deputy Clerk Ferguson stated that she needed to call and advise Prosecuting Attorney Candidate West to file a Campaign Financial Statement before the imminent filing deadline. West filed such report with numerous errors after the close of the business and filing deadline. West then filed an Amended Campaign Statement several days after the filing deadline on April 10, 2012.
Chief Deputy Harvey and Deputy Clerk Ferguson have a conflict of interest that should disqualify them as election officers due to their family, personal and political relationships with certain candidates.
In addition to the irregularities and unethical conduct specified in the above statements, numerous witnesses, including myself, have observed Benjamin Cisco on multiple occasions behind the counter in the election room of the Mingo County Clerk. Although Cisco has been appointed by Mingo County Clerk Jim Hatfield as Democrat Ballot Commissioner, it nevertheless demonstrates a profound lack of professionalism and ethics to permit Cisco to have access to voter information via computers, records and files.
Cisco has openly and vigorously campaigned for certain candidates and has been accused of defacing campaign signs. Cisco's ready access to voter information, including social security numbers, creates an appearance of impropriety at best and epitomizes corruption at worst.
A physical altercation almost occurred in the clerk's office due to concerns about the numerous irregularities and unethical conduct of Mingo County Clerk employees.
Mingo County Clerk Hatfield appears to lack the necessary competence, leadership and impartiality to properly serve as the chief election officer of the May 8 primary election.
As Chief Election Officer of West Virginia, you have pledged your commitment to ensuring fair and open elections. It is clear that Mingo County Clerk Hatfield is unwilling or unable to ensure a fair and open May 8 primary election. Therefore, I reiterate my request that an election specialist be assigned to hereafter supervise the election activities of the Mingo County Clerk up to and including the May 8 primary election.
Thank you for your favorable consideration of my request.
C. Michael Sparks, Esq., Mingo County Prosecuting Attorney
Copies of this request were also mailed to Colonel C.R. "Jay" Smithers, Superintendent and Major J.B. Schoolcraft, Chief of Field Services for the WVSP, both located at the WVSP Headquarters, 725 Jefferson Road, South Charleston, WV 25309.

A dominant finish, in Saturday's Alabama Stakes and we're just six days away from the grand-daddy of the season. Here to talk about Sunday's racing card is our own Mike Kane.
SARATOGA RACE COURSE – A dominant finish in Sunday's Alabama Stakes and we're just six days away from the granddaddy of the season: Travers.
With the 132nd running of the Alabama Saturday and $600,000 were on the line for the three-year-old fillies.
Questing took the race with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., running the fastest time since 1990 when Go For Wand won it and setting the stage for next weekend's big event, the 143rd Travers Stakes.
"This year's Travers is going to end up being a stage where people can make their reputation. Yes we know that Alpha is a nice horse and won the Jim Dandy but there's some other horses coming into this race and have an opportunity to step out on the stage and make a name for themselves. I'm going to be looking to see if they run as fast as they did yesterday, when Questing just demolished the field in the Alabama because they, too, will be running a mile and a quarter," said racing analyst Mike Kane.
And don't forget, Sunday is another giveaway day at the track. Fans will receive a Saratoga pilsner glass while supplies last.

The sun has set on the 2011 Edmonton Indy, and it proved to be most entertaining, especially given a new track and the top three finishers separated by just a few 100ths of a second.
The close finish indicates just how competitive the IRL is, thanks in part to the fact that all 26 drivers use the same engine, transmission and chassis.
The cars are rocket sleds with over 650 horsepower, a six-speed sequential gear box, and brakes that can produces two Gs of force - and braking is important because these cars can accelerate to 160 km/h in around three seconds and reach top speeds over 340 km/h.
Given that IRL drivers get to experience the ultimate in performance machines on race weekends, I thought it would be interesting to know what they drive to pick up milk and Coco Puffs on the weekdays. So, I asked a few drivers what their daily driver was and what their ultimate street car would be.
Four-time Champ Car champion and former Formula One driver Sebastien Bourdais had an interesting response. First, you need to know that Sebastien was born in Le-Mans, France, and second, he lives there with his wife and two young children. His daily driver is a Peugeot 508, and just in case you are not acquainted with the Peugeot lineup, the 508 is a "full-sized" family vehicle available in hatchback or estate wagon with a GT package that offers a 2.2-litre, 201-hp engine. Of course, there are myriad engine options, but "Sea Bass," as he his known to his fellow racers, is more interested in his family's safety and comfort. As for his dream street machine, he would fancy a Porsche GT3.
Graham Rahal is a rising star in IRL who happens to be the son of Bobby Rahal, an Indy 500 Champ. Graham and I, along with brand new Indy Lights driver Stefan Rzadzinski were guest judges in a local car show during race weekend. As we looked over the entries, I was surprised to see that Graham, who is just 22, was attracted to mid-'60s Corvettes, and in fact we both selected original Stingrays - a 1966 and 1967 as our trophy winners.
He mentioned that his dad was shopping for one, but his dad, owner of some 20 car dealerships and an original Cobra, can take his time looking until he finds the perfect Stingray. Graham's daily driver is a Mercedes CLK. Black (Special AMG) - no back seat, carbon fibre brakes, and it's fast, wickedly fast. In fact, many rate the Mercedes CLK. Black as one of the best overall performance road cars on the market. As for his ultimate street car, as if his current ride didn't qualify, he is drawn to cars with a prancing horse on the front, such as a F 430.
Stefan Rzadzinski, who is just getting started in professional racing and is still in university, drives a well-used Honda Accord. His realistic street car would be a BMW M3. His dream machine is a Pagani Zonda Roadster F. Let's hope the young Edmontonian gets a chance to test his talents in the big leagues and one day park a Pagani in his garage.
One of three Canadians in the big show was James Hinchcliffe, a young former Indy Lights winner who has shown remarkable ability and maturity when running near the front of the pack in several races this year, including the Indy 500. Hinchcliffe drives the streets of Oakville, Ont., in an Audi A4S. His ultimate street machine would be an Audi R8.
Paul Tracy, another Canadian driver, has a collection of classic cars, including a suicide-door Lincoln and a "lead-sled" Merc, plus a Harley and several mountain bikes that he uses around his Phoenix residence.
On race weekends, the drivers often use rental cars to get back and forth to the track. And it is interesting to see them driving normal streets cars just like the rest of us. For example, last year's IRL champ, Dario Franchitti, was driving a Ford Taurus, and Justin Wilson had the utility of a Ford Escape.
So check your mirrors during next year's Indy - you could have Paul Tracy driving a Chevrolet Malibu looking to get past.

Our annual summer road trip took my family and I across the northern intermountain West. We cruised through northern Idaho, Wyoming and Montana as our destinations included Yellowstone and Glacier national parks.
During our 12-day sojourn, some thoughts from our adventures, mixed in with the great memories, kept knocking around my noggin. So I jotted them down, kind of a "Notes from the Road." They won't make my travel journal, but I think they are things you can appreciate.
Trip soundtracks: I've discovered the best music to play while visiting Glacier National Park is from "The Sound of Music." It helps that we all know the words. At Yellowstone, the "Circle of Life" from "The Lion King" seems most appropriate, especially if you're watching the wolves do their thing.
Midwestern kindness: You can always count on Midwesterners to help you out. An unintentional mishap left us with a dead battery during a fishing foray on a hot and buggy afternoon at Yellowstone National Park. We waved down three vehicles, looking for someone with jumper cables. Two of them were from Iowa. We offered the family of four who had jumper cables at the ready some money so they could at least get some ice cream. "No, no. Just pay it forward," said the mom. I will indeed.
They're dogs, not kids: Why do people insist on toting their dogs everywhere? I watched a couple react with indignation when they were told by a park ranger they could not bring their dog into the visitor center at Logan Pass at Glacier National Park. Sorry, it's a pet, not a kid. You might think it's a kid, but it isn't. Also, I'm pretty sure it was a dog's pee track I saw swirled on the sidewalk below the center. Not really what I want to see in such a beautiful mountain setting.
Shameless quest for tips: Gone, it seems, are the days when people were subtle about their quests for tips. When we entered our Glacier motel room, there was a nicely decorated envelope sitting on the desk. I'm sure it was to hold any tip we might have wanted to leave for the cleaning crew. Then, there was the blatant request from the driver of the the tour we took in Helena, Mont. He told us about a "good group of visitors from England. They were real fun, and good tippers, too." If I want to leave a tip, I will. I take umbrage when people ask for one.
Be grateful for luck: When it comes to wildlife viewing, sometimes you need a little luck. That was the case when we came across a small herd of bighorn sheep, right off the road as we drove over Logan Pass. We didn't need to make some great trek or peer through binoculars at some tiny specks. Nope, there they were, amid the stunted whitebark pine trees looking for something to eat amid the snow that still covered much of the ground. I do apologize to all the people in the visitor center parking lot who have photos of the sheep – with our minivan in the foreground.
A moment to cherish: When I moved to Great Falls, Mont., in the mid 1990s, I gave up golf clubs and picked up a fly rod for the first time. In the years that followed, I had a a multitude of great fishing trips on the nearby Missouri River, which I came to call my home waters.
But none of those moments will ever compare to watching our son land a trout at one of my favorite fishing spots on the river. It wasn't a monster brown trout, or a hog of a rainbow. It was a beautiful, hard-fighting 16-inch rainbow neither one of us never forget.
When we got the fish in the net, I'm sure my smile was bigger than my son's.
I had always hoped to return to the Missouri and fish it with my kids. But it never fit into our itinerary on previous trips to Montana. The wait was worthwhile. That fish, that moment is one we will forever share, a story we'll always tell.

Libertas Academica has recently begun using the image-focused social media site Tumblr to publicise new articles and other news.
Benefits of Tumblr
Through Tumblr readers are updated when new articles are published in Medical Equipment Insights that contain interesting or unusual images, and are linked directly to the article through the Libertas Tumblr webpage. A once-weekly summary of articles published is also provided.
Authors whose articles include suitable figures or photographs will have an image from their article and the article link displayed on the Libertas Tumblr blog*. This will give the article increased online visibility.
What is Tumblr?
Tumblr was founded in 2007 with the aim to be easy to use and allow high quality videos and photographs to be easily uploaded and viewed. Since then it has been highly successful, breaking into the top 10 most popular social media sites.
Tumblr is one of the largest and fastest growing social networking sites in America. It attracts around 13.5 million visitors every month and has received over 5 billion posts to date.
Why is Tumblr Unique?
Tumblr is unlike other social media because it focuses on vision and sound posts instead of text. Almost all posts on Tumblr include a photograph, drawing, video, or auditory clip. This makes Tumblr an ideal medium for Libertas to promote new articles that feature unusual and appealing images.
Visit the Libertas Academica Tumblr blog and follow us if you have a Tumblr account

Chagrin River Watershed Partners want Lake officials to endorse concept
The Chagrin River Watershed Partners asked Lake County commissioners Thursday to join in with 25 communities that officially endorse the agency's concept of balanced growth.
Amy Holtshouse Brennan, Partners director, also gave commissioners a 30-minute presentation on the agency's goals and how it works with its members.
Chagrin River Watershed Partners was formed in 1996 and is supported by member dues and grants, Brennan said.
The organization works directly with 36 cities, villages, counties, townships, and park districts from Lake, Geauga, Cuyahoga and Portage counties to minimize flooding and erosion as communities grow.
The Partners group focuses on improving development practices and site design to reduce long-term infrastructure costs.
One of the agency's new initiatives to implement balanced growth is defining Primary Development Areas and Primary Conservation Areas.
Primary Development Areas are locally designated places where growth or redevelopment is encouraged to maximize the development potential, Brennan said.
Primary Conservation Areas are those designated for protection or restoration and may be important as ecological, recreational, heritage, agricultural or public access areas, she said.
Brennan asked commissioners to consider passing a resolution that supports the Partners' maps of these designations in the county and to allow them to be included into the group's overall growth plan.
"Where are the economic development centers and where would the communities like to have them to bring in additional economic development?" Brennan said. Continued...
Communities in the county that already have passed resolutions include Eastlake, Kirtland, Kirtland Hills, Waite Hill, Wickliffe, Willoughby and Willoughby Hills, according to Brennan.
Mentor City Council is considering a similar resolution, she said.
By supporting balanced growth through the Partners, it could help the county and participating communities to potentially tap into state funding through the Ohio Lake Erie Commission.
"They hold the purse strings for a lot of grants and loan programs at the state level," Brennan said.
"They also do a lot of technical assistance."
During her presentation, Brennan discussed how a majority of the agency's members also are required to comply with Ohio EPA's Phase 2 requirements that aim to clean up stormwater runoff.
Commissioner Daniel P. Troy asked Brennan how impactful it has been to have a regional agency like the Lake County Stormwater Management Department to help participating communities comply with requirements.
"It's huge when you're trying to look at planning on a regional level to have some way to deal with things," Brennan said.

FontFind® > Popular Categories > Brush Scripts
Brush Scripts Fonts
Brush scripts are informal scripts. They are 20th century inventions inspired by the work of sign writers and commercial lettering artists. Most are based on pointed brush lettering rather than broad brush lettering. Some are not cursive and thus are more properly called brush lettering (e.g. Dom Casual).
There are often clear distinctions between European brush scripts and American ones, due to their different lettering and handwriting traditions. Examples of the former are Balzac and Sunetta; of the former, Brody and Spring. More recent brush scripts, such as ITC Puamana or Banshee, reflect the influence of modern calligraphic practice. Some have ragged edges, implying the use of a "dry brush".

Undergraduate Admission
Most colleges do not have a "pre-law" major. In fact, law schools do not recognize the idea of a "pre-law" major. There is no particular course of study that is a prerequisite for admission to law school. Students interested in attending law school and preparing for a career in law should pursue courses that will develop verbal and analytical skills.
Many different majors can lead to a successful career in law. Most majors that are not vocationally oriented, such as elementary education or medical technology, are appropriate as an undergraduate program that would prepare one for law school.
The greatest advantage Xavier offers to the prospective law student is a mandatory core of liberal arts courses. Xavier students, regardless of the major they choose, take courses in history, humanities, literature, foreign language, mathematics, philosophy, science, social science and theology. These courses combined with the major field of study and free electives provide a strong background that makes the Xavier graduate attractive to law schools throughout the United States.
