Dukoff Metal Alto Saxophone MouthpieceBobby Dukoff metal mouthpieces are famous for their bright and cutting tone while still retaining plenty of depth and guts for an exciting sound. It is a favorite of jazz, rock and commercial players. The shank of the mouthpiece has been elongated to get a better grip on the cork when tuning. The insert for the teeth is slightly contoured for more comfortable playing, and the response is instantaneous and clean.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
Just recieved my Dukoff D6 today. Let me say at first I was a little freaked out thinking that the ligature was messed up because it kept sliding up. Well it isn't it just needs to be placed lower than the usual ligature and needs to be tightened like a beast. But after I solved that, let me say, WOW. This baby screams. It takes quite a bit of air but you can really hit altissimo no problem. First altissimo note I jumped to was a tripple G and it sang. You also don't lose the low note ability. You can go ffff on Bb and dance around altissimo with ease. What a great buy!
dukoff makes terrible mouthpieces. the only good ones are made from hand. these are molded. there are many imperfections in it and it is very inconsistent. they tend to easily get damaged. when i opened my mouhtpiece there was a huge dent on the tip that made a flapping noise when i changed notes. the sound is way too bright and i could not imagine a situation that would need such a peircing sound. the ligature slips alot and is harder than the mouthpiece. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS U ARE SURE! PLAY IT ALOT BECAUSE IT IS A HARD ADAPTATION RETURN IT ASAP IF U HATE IT!
Quite a fascinating little piece of metal this mouthpiece is. Not to mention the OUTSTANDING scores I gave it on the low-high (how it responds while trying to "bop" each note from low Bb to C5), only missing one note (low Bb) (Witch was probably only because of the warm-up I had done was meant for higher register notes). The D5 is rather classical sounding, smooth with not much buzz. The D6 and D6 are pretty much the same, buzzy but smooth. The d7 and d8 are also rather similar, much more buzz and a little bit of smooth added to the background. The D8* is a D8 with a lower baffle. (What I use) and the D9 is just loud and proud.
I just got a new metal Dukoff D8 for my alto and I love it. I've had different ones over the years. I kept avoiding the D8 on alto because I didn't want to sound like everyone else. I finally gave in and now I have a D8 and I still don't sound like everybody else. Dukoffs have changed over the years. In the 80's they where fat in the middle. They had allot of edge and really cut through a loud band. In the 90's they got slimmer and thus had a lighter sound than before. The new one I've got is big, and longer in the middle. I've never tried the ones from the 70's. I hear they where great. Buy them now before they change them again. They're awesome.
played a Dukoff D6 for many years. I played it so much and so hard that it had deep indentations in the top. So deep, in fact, I nearly bit through the mouthpiece. It was time for a replacement.
At first, I tried a Yanigasawa 7 (metal). This is now my favorite mouthpiece of all time for a clean, even, rich tone throughout the entire range of the saxophone. BUT, as much as I love the tone of the Yani, I found I had lost my "signature" sound. So, I got myself a Dukoff D7 and fell in love all over again.
With the Dukoff, I can easily screech out split tones in the upper register and I can easily soar into the altissimo range (4 octaves). The Yani plays great altissimo, but not as high and wild as the Dukoff. The Dukoff has an edgy, gutsy quality I just haven't found in any other mouthpiece. I can also accomplish some very unusual and exciting "sound effects" on the sax that leave other players scratching their heads wondering "how the heck did she DO that"?
The Dukoff mouthpiece is to the saxophone what electricity is to the guitar. With that being said, this mouthpiece is definitely NOT for everyone. It takes a very strong embrochure to play this piece properly. If you have to sit and wonder if you're ready for a Dukoff, you're probably not.
This sound isn't for everyone. We're not talking about your local, smooth jazz yawn-fest here, folks, this is pants-on-fire, in-your-face energy. If you can control it and it's what you are looking for, then this is pure heaven. If not, then it will be hell on your audiences.
Reed choice is very important for these mouthpieces. I recommend Rico Jazz Select #3 Soft--unfiled. Just a suggestion (you'll thank me later)
Good luck!

I bought a dukoff metal mouthpiece and I was amazed how smoothly it sounded. The low and mid notes were great, the only thing I disliked was when playing high notes it tends to have a raspy sound and caused me to squeak often but I think it was because i wasnt used to it, being my first metal mouthpiece but now I'm used to it and the raspyness has gone away. What I also think help was playing with a thicker reed, reed sizes 2 & 2 1/2 will give you the raspy sound i believe. I would recommend this mouthpiec for players who have experience and have played with a metal mouthpieces before.
Many years ago when I was playing tenor someone lent me a Dukoff mouthpiece. The sound was gutsy, screaming, and fit in well with the electric band I was playing with. Now I'm on alto and thought I'd get a Dukoff to recapture the sound. (I'm an intermediate player.) I've found that the alto mouthpiece (D5 or D6), while sharing similarities in sound with the tenor piece, is much more difficult to play than rubber alto mouthpieces (Yamaha, Selmer, Meyer) or the Dukoff tenor piece. The Dukoff alto requires a lot of air, is more prone to squeaking or odd harmonics, and the ligature that came with it is poorly fitting, crushes the reed, and slips down the mouthpiece. I've just got a Rovner lig, which from what I've read should improve things somewhat, but I find it hard to recommend that anyone else of my admittedly moderate chops should pick one up.
I wish this were made of stainless steel, but it's some kind of soft alloy. I dropped it accidentally and it bent way out of shape and scratched/dented the rails. I just ordered a new one and will take better care :)
I am a pro player and can handle the D8 easily, but don't recommend it to intermediate players. The altissimo register is the best I've ever played using the D8. The sound is big and it cuts through the band well. My sax-playing friends are impressed with my sound using the Dukoff.
I am an adult player with a little over 3 years experience. Had a D5 and a D7 shipped for tryout. I liked both. the D5 was easy to get a good sound with little effort, i wound up keeping the D7 for flexibility. I record a lot of my playing and found that my sound focus has improved with the dukoff-now just have to work at controlling it quietly and dynamically-of course it's easy to play it loud-hope this helps
I was so excited to get this piece. Really liked David Sanborn's sound, read up on it, read some reviews, so I selected this mouthpiece. It came, alright in the box (the box always seemed just a little too small), looked very clean, so I decided to play it. At first it was just me thinking I had to adapt to this thing, maybe the ligature wasn't right, maybe my reed choice wasn't quite right. Well, I played (and owned) this thing long enough to know exactly how bad it is constructed. The baffle is good (if you want a high step baffle), and the bite plate side of the mouthpiece is good, that's about where it ends. The table has small little micro scratches all over. The rails, man these things have minor imperfections all over them. Slight little indentations, uneven widths, etc., etc., etc. The tip rail is a little uneven. The top of the baffle is not even, slightly diagonal. The chamber (shudders), man is the chamber made awfully. The baffle tapers down to the chamber, and this is where you can realize that the metal is poured and not cut, imperfections like crazy. Mine came with a metal bubble where the pouring ended, asymmetry, and little dents in the metal. These things are made by hand, and no care is given to evenness or symmetry at all. Then the ligature, what a horrible thing. It holds the reed slightly diagonal, you need to tighten ridiculously or else it slips up, and it scratches up the mouthpiece. Also, due to the material of these mouthpiece (extremely soft) they get hurt very easily, oh, and if you play on this baby for a few years, because of oxidization it will turn black; jet black. Before it turns black it looks kind of gray kind of silver. The sound is awful, the intonation is horrible. D1 and D2 played relatively in tune, D3 was actually a D#3 even though a D3 was fingered. I will say altissimo was good, I could get 6 octaves out of this. Multiphonics were very easy, split tones were easy, circular breathing, haha don't even try it these pieces take some breath. If I had one thing to tell Mr. Bobby Dukoff it would be that his pieces are completely inconsistent. Save yourself the dough, test play other pieces and decide on one of those, just move past the Dukoffs completely.

Online Development: Advanced French Grammar
Advanced French - Grammar
French Grammar is part of the Advanced French section of LC Online, and was developed in co-operation with the French Department of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages to support teachers and learners. Although the materials are designed to support the teaching of the French Department all students of French can use them. The main focus of the Grammar section is outlined below. Other supporting sections are Grammar notes, a section on verbs, and a grammar test.
Presentation of the Use of Past tenses online programme
This programme deals with a very intricate linguistic issue: the use of the "passé simple" in relation to the "passé composé", and "imparfait". The aim of this exercise is not to give learners ready-made answers on these rather complex issues - on which linguists do not always agree - but rather to raise their awareness regarding the problems involved.
We have tried to go beyond the simplistic approach that can be found in most grammar books, most of which tend to take a very black and white stance presenting the passé simple as a highly literary device characteristic of a very high and almost archaic register.
In order to help learners deal with these complex issues we thought it was necessary to expose them to a number of texts (as opposed to simply sentences). These texts illustrate the various ways of using these tenses, and will help learners develop their own understanding of these issues.
Users of the programme are not however simply exposed to the text, they are guided in their reading of the texts and made to reflect on the use of the tenses by interlacing texts with exercises where users are required, through multiple choice questionnaires, to refine their interpretation of the texts. The programme involves a constant interplay between authentic texts and exercises involving metalanguage and grammar, this process is both inductive and deductive and allows learners to deal with these issues in a very comprehensive way. The programme also comprises animations, the aim of which is to illustrate visually the linguistic issues that are being dealt with; they are also a very useful tool where the comprehension of the texts is concerned (users also have access to a glossary which will help them with any unknown vocabulary).
We believe that the combination of an innovative approach with a multisensory medium make this programme an excellent way of tackling a very complex issue, it should be of great help to advanced learners of French.

Embarrassing screw ups don't get much bigger than sending a Barack Obama-less Air Force One and a fighter escort into a quiet blue sky over Ground Zero, creating panic among the Manhattan herds for a mere photo op.
The only thing more egregious were the puns. This from the New York Post:
"Air Farce One" played out over lower Manhattan yesterday — in a terrifyingly bizarre military photo op that sent office workers fleeing from their buildings fearing a new 9/11-type attack….
Although the Air Force had permission for the 10 a.m. flyover, no one bothered to warn the people on the ground, and as the two jets hurtled toward lower Manhattan, many mistook Obama's plane for Osama's.
The Daily News focused on groveling apologies from the White House:
Louis Caldera, the director of the White House military office who sent Air Force One and the fighter jet on an "aerial photo mission," got slammed by an angry President Obama.
"I approved a mission over New York," Caldera said in a hastily prepared statement. "I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused."
Obama was not on the flight.
Sources said the chief reason for the panic-inducing flight was to create souvenir pictures of Air Force One flying over the Statue of Liberty to be given out – like a presidential tie clip – to family, friends or supporters.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg was outraged. Steamed. Out of control. So angry that he bought a 15-second ad for his re-election campaign to front this Daily News video clip of the flyover:
While you ponder that, consider these articles found while perusing this morning's ajc.com:
City of Atlanta fails to respond to embarrassing audit of $1.3 million for job aid. Reservoir in south Fulton County finds itself caught in some crossfire. Sonny Perdue to sign bill requiring fitness test. Slavery mural in state Department of Agriculture building raises eyebrows. Sen. Eric Johnson running for governor, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle exits surgery. More than half of Americans have changed their faith.
Some opinion:
Jim Wooten says the lottery dilutes middle-class habits.
And from elsewhere:
NYT: Florida lawmakers keep jobless rules intact, decline $444 million in stimulus money. WSJ: California home sales are up. LAT: Mexican authorities focus attention on a 4-year-old boy and a pig farm. AP: Pakistan expands offensive against Taliban.

Let's all just download, for free, Emeritus Professor David Ray Griffin's "The New Pearl Harbor," and recognize that Bush and Cheney committed 9/11. Then New Yorkers, who have the capacity to rise up, if they weren't all focused on ripping off the world from Wall Street, could stop worrying about "planes used as missiles." Our Defense Establishment has the unerring ability to intercept and down wayward jets, to protect our cities and Our People. It is the People's failure to understood the knowable truth that is the "penny behind the fuse." Read the book by a scholar of proven integrity…then hang Bush and Cheney…cast the Beast into the Pit…watch Babylon fall in a day…and live free and prosperously as Americans…again.

"understand" obviously…(It is up to us, the People…read the book and know those who deny the truth, the provable truth, are not just stupid. When shown the proof of Bush's and Cheney's guilt and they deny it they have committed Misprision of Treason and are evil and traitors against America)
Death for Treason

Will, did we leave our tinfoil hat at home today?
I was shocked at the coverage on the news last night about how Obama called these people in and "really gave them a good chewing out" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). The level of bias just blows me away…
SO WHAT!? This was AIR FORCE ONE! This was The President's plane! This was a freakin' PHOTO OP!!!??? How BRAIN DEAD can you possibly BE? And these are the folks who are running our country!?
Oh my God – if Bush had done this, the entire WORLD would have come crashing down on him! People would be screaming for his HEAD on a pike!
Well it wasn't Bush, it was The Obama, so we're all just going to stare at him like mindless zombies, let him smile real big, and blame it on one of his stooges?
No, really…

Here's the link "Mark." You'll be able to read this "logic primer" by a PhD, Emeritus Professor of probity, without paying the tens of thousands of dollars in tuition others have had to over the decades at the Claremont School of Theology (about an Emory "level" school in California):
Don't want to know the proven truth of 9/11's treason?
We military and Veterans put our lives at sacrifice when we "step to the line" and enlist. The Oath compels us "defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic."
In your "opinion," "Mark," are all of us expected to only pay attention to "foreign" enemies and not consider the slightest possibility of "domestic" enemies?
Since the Oath and history includes the reality of domestic enemies, traitors, I admonish to read the free book which, in fact, proves treason by Bush and Cheney.
Are you too lazy to read the free book?
Are you a conscious Fifth Column agent? Papist?
If you don't read the book you are lazy or a traitor. If you read the book you know Bush and Cheney committed 9/11…then the string unwinds and you might be competent to recognize they've gotten away with it this far because their faction also got away with killing the Dotcom Boom, and with killing John Kennedy to send us to die in Vietnam, and with financing Adolf Hitler from the Roman Catholic collection plate in America through Vatican banker Rockfeller…who, with Bush's forefather, built Big Oil on unredressed murder and arson.
Start to try to think like America's Founders or admit you're an idiot or a traitor.

Will I know it's very difficult for you to understand – but some folks just really don't give you, your conspiracy theories, or your recommended reading, any credibility whatsoever no matter how much you rant and rave. I am one of those people.

1:52 pm
The author has a PhD and is nationally recognized as a scholar of PROBITY (look it up).
The download is free and will take a couple hours to read with any modicum of comprehension by an average intellect.
In it is the proof that Bush and Cheney committed 9/11.
He, an academic, treats the subject rather gentle, but the truth is easily discerned.
It takes no sophistication, Mark.
It's said "A good carpenter learns something new every day."
Your response isn't "on the level," "square," or "true" – assuming you're an adult American citizen…not that philistines have to give up their citizenship, and there are plenty of them around.
If you refuse to look at the offered truth, and proudly, your anonymity becomes perfectly understandable.

Will Jones – Atlanta: I do not need anyone telling me that Bushinator and Darth Vader Dick caused/direct result/OIL caused 9/11–The sounds of the buildings falling were sounds of explosion nothing in the Twin Towers would have created the fire/destruction except for detonators–not only that but the second building was not a regular airplane.
The right extremist republicans always used 9/11 as a fear tactic for those who are ignorant and who only heard about 9/11 thru the eyes of the media but never asked a survivor.
Pres. Obama administration made a big mistake as for any native New Yorker it can be scary the memory did not fade but should not be resurrected as a Republican campaign tool–this is why I have no respect for Bushinator or the ones who are left. Dick in the Bush will pay for their crimes in H*ll.
April 28th, 2009
7:03 pm
Mark: The truth hurts. In 20 years if you are still alive and Bushinator files or opened you will not only hear but see the truth.
The Twin Towers were detonated not by international terrorist but the domestic terrorist that you put in office.
April 28th, 2009
7:08 pm
Will Jones – Atlanta: The Bush administrator made survivors and widowers and their children sign away the truth for "Money". The "working class" "poor" did not have the monetary backup for their families thus they accepted the cash for silence. Alot walked away as millionaires but at a high price. If you remember the 911 commission and it went nowhere–wonder why?
April 28th, 2009

And Max Cleland came out of it a man worthy of the People of Georgia. He will help secure our posterity and bring glory to all of Georgia, if we make him governor next year.
btw. It won't be just eternal damnation where Cheney and Bush find their wages of sin, by G-d. America is America for a reason. Even if those who taught us were hypocrites and philistines the truth of the Dream is still true.
America must be ruled by the sovereign People, under only G-d in Righteousness, by Truth and Justice.
Let the Devil take the hindmost. Our hindmost, Bush and Cheney, shall be delivered to their god Satan when the gallows' trapdoors at the Navy Yard breaks along with their necks.
If we, the G-d fearing People of America, by Creed and Constitution all share that vision after reading "The New Pearl Harbor," and knowing of their treason, it shall be delivered unto us. You think Bush bought an estate in Paraguay, a sh-thole with no extradition to the U.S., for no reason?
It is America's duty to put the fear of G-d in him and in Cheney by putting them on trial, giving their souls a chance to learn, then hanging them, or whatever their Jury determines is fitting punishment for their exposed treason.
My country doesn't need their cancer.
How many good have lost their lives under The Oath following their lies?
One is too many and they got to pay up, in full, with their lives.

Welfare for the rich is just a brilliant as I, the professor emeritus of conspiracy bafoonery. POPE BUSH ROME 9/11 was cooked up by Obama so everyone would blame Bush and elect Obama instead of Hillary with her Rockefeller nose.

Get A Grip
Recently, a grip manufacturer (@OOQIgrips) out of Canada found us on Twitter to tell us about their product. We said, "Hey, yeah! Those look great. Send us a set and we'll review the hell out of them on the Bike Gang! blog." And since these guys are awesome, they sent us two sets, one in magma red and one in moon blue. You'll notice the packaging is pretty tight, both physically and stylistically. And, yes, you read that correctly, there were stickers inside!
One other thing you'll notice right away about these grips, aside from the bright coloring, is their size. They're billed as "fat grips" for a reason. Below is a picture of my new OOQI grips alongside my old standard-issue Cannondale ones. Now, I'm no doctor, but I think this may even help with blood circulation. Either way, I got this in my head and started complaining about poor hand circulation in the weeks leading up to these grips arriving in the mail. My girlfriend said i was just being psychosomatic. She's probably right.
I will say, though, it feels like my circulation feels better, if that makes any sense. And truthfully, we can spin our wheels all day long on whether or not these grips have a health benefit. One thing is for sure, however, my bike has never looked better. And I've got OOQI grips to thank for that!
So, do yourself a favor, gang. Go out and cop some of these fat grips for your bike today!

Found November 03, 2012 on Bronx Pinstripes:
PLAYERS: Mariano Rivera, Brian Cashman, Rafael Soriano
TEAMS: New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers
TEAMS: New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers
The big news in Yankee Universe today is that Mariano Rivera has informed General Manager Brian Cashman that he wants to come back and pitch in 2013. This news comes just days after Rafael Soriano informed the team he is opting out of the last year of his contract to test the free agent market. Rivera, as many know, tore the anterior cruciate ligament, or better known as his ACL, in his right knee while chasing a fly ball during batting practice back in early May. Almost immediately after the injury, Rivera declared he would come back and pitch in 2013 putting all Yankee fans at ease. That is until recently, after the series with the Detroit Tigers where the Yanks were swept. All of a sudden reports came out he needed time to contemplate his future coupled with Soriano opting out, the Yankee bullpen was looking to be more and more in trouble. 608, the number of saves Rivera has, will always be the first thing people mention with Mo and rightly so. It's the most saves in Major League history. But it's the constancy that is Rivera's most impressive feat. Since becoming the Yankee closer in 1997, he saved less then 30 games only once in 2002. Rivera, in his 18 year career, has struck out 1119 major league hitters, and in that same span, he has only walked 277 men, giving him a strike out per walk ratio of over 4 and these are just his regular season numbers. Rivera's dominance in the postseason has been unmatched in history. He has an 8-1 record with 42 saves. In 141 innings, he's struck out 110 batters while only walking 21. The stability and calming affect Rivera has on the team can't be understated. When the song "Enter Sandman" by Metallica booms through the PA system at Yankee Stadium everyone in the stadium knows the game is all but officially over. With so much uncertainty surrounding the Yankees right now with Swisher, Soriano and Kuroda not certain to come back, it is big news to have the greatest closer in baseball history coming back to the Bronx.

Job seekers these days are learning the importance of flexibility. Looking for work today is far more challenging than it was in the past. Of the millions of unemployed people right now, many were once full-time or salaried employees. There are also young people, like recent graduates in this category as well; all of the these job seekers are using resources like Jobfox Scam to help them find positions or get them ready for interviews.
Part-time positions are available through various employers. Employers are looking for ways to survive the status of the economy. Some are streamlining their budgets when it comes to hiring new workers. Others are making due with the employees that they have. Part-time work has provided companies with an alternative to the hiring process. These positions offer benefits to both workers and employees.
Ways to gain experience
Part-time positions can serve as tools for gaining experience. The work experience that you have will make an impression to future employers. This information is generally displayed on an applicant's resume. These positions may provide workers with experience in areas that they've never had before.
Offer options for building skills
The skills that you have play an important role in securing employment. Employers are looking for workers that have a variety of skill sets. Part-time positions may allow you to build your skills. Computer skills, communication, writing, and other skills are essential to many positions. It is critical that you showcase your skills if you are able to find work.
Ability to earn a salary
A large number of the job seekers right now are those who have lost their jobs. They no longer have access to the salaries that they once earned. This is one of the reasons why many have embraced the options of part-time positions. Lower salaries are typically associated with these positions. Earning a smaller salary is better than having no salary at all. More than one part-time job can be used to make a full-time salary.
Job hunting can be a tricky thing so use all of the resources available. For more information about job seeking, check out this article.

The Dairy Incident: An Ed Sheeran One Shot.
So i apologize for not posting in quite awhile. I'm kind of trying to get my life together after graduating, so i've been busy, and kind of drunk a lot, and in the process of making a boy i love into my manfriend.
anyways, this is an Ed one shot involving children. And this is a really weird idea, but this actually happened to my step sister and her husband, and i thought it was hilarious, so i wrote it out with Ed.
Enjoy! and i hope to be able to post more frequently from now on.
I love you all, as always, and i'm VERY grateful for your support, and for the fact that you all haven't unfollowed me!
The Dairy Incident: An Ed Sheeran One Shot
It's going to go down as "The Dairy Incident" for the rest of our lives. For every year that we remain married, for the rest of the time that we are alive, we will be reminded of this incident many times, in many ways. I will look at him, from across the room, reminiscing of some completely off topic memory, and a certain thought for feeling will trigger it. On some level, we may resent each other for it. It will always come down to it. There will always be that small jab, the miniscule twist of a knife of that incident that will work its way into every fight. It's not even a monumental incident; we were both just very tired.
I had been up to my elbows taking care of our littles all day. He had been touring all year. But it was a simple request from me to him. "Ed, on your way home from the studio, could you please pick up the milk and eggs?" (I should let you in on a small backstory. In our city, there is a local business that provides dairy and food that is both organic and not treated by any kind of chemicals. Eleanor is allergic to the chemicals in milk that you buy from the supermarket, so we have to buy them from this local business, that takes care of orders in their house)
We have two. And before we had two, we were convinced that we could have a small army of children to take care of us forever. But two, as of now, is definitely enough. Especially when our two consist of a three year old who wants nothing more than the attention to be completely on her and her growing vocabulary and accomplishments, and a one year old who spends all of his time spitting one syllable words trying to make sense of the English language. These are our children, the two individuals who we care about more than ourselves, and each other. And it's a good feeling. Ed's one of those people who has this belief system that childhood shouldn't be about dressing littles in designer clothes, or making sure that they have $200 dollar toys. It's about spending as much time as possible with them, and making sure that they get to chase after the ice cream truck, and playing for hours in the park while getting their tiny hands and feet dirty. It's about family move nights, frozen yogurt trips, vacations to the beach, and camping out in the backyard. It's not about material possessions, but living in a house knee deep in memories.
I had asked him to pick up the milk and eggs at the grocery store on his way home from the studio. I had meant to pick them up yesterday, when I received that oh-so-obnoxious reminder on my iphone that keeps me at least, a tiny bit sane. But I was sidetracked by the constant reminder that Oliver's in that stage where he's trying harder than ever to put everything and anything in his mouth. And when I say anything, I really mean dangerous things like rocks and sharp objects. And it's in my best interest, if I plan on seeing Oliver grow up, to keep him away from these dangerous things. So I asked Ed to do it, to pick it up, and as easily as I forgot, he forgot. That was on Saturday, and it is now Monday evening, and we are still without milk and eggs, and we find ourselves in situations where we can't get to the grocery store.
"We need to talk about this" I tell him, in the most serious voice I can muster after a few drinks, "Ed, it was one simple request."
"Baby, I'll do it tomorrow" he mumbles, shrugging me off, "Eleanor won't die without milk and eggs"
"I'm a crazy wife, I know, I get it." I shake my head, "but like, god dammit, Ed"
"Yeah you're totally going to use this against me at some point" he nods, "like, damn, this is a good soufflé, but no thanks to you for not getting me those damn eggs"
"Exactly. The dairy incident of 2013" I shake my head.
"What is it that pisses you off about it? That I just didn't do it yet? Or because I didn't do it when you asked me?" He asks, "because it's 10pm on a Monday evening, both of our kids are asleep, and I don't think that you want to go on a drunken adventure to that guy's house to get some organic dairy"
"Just that I asked you on Saturday to do it" I exhale loudly, "I don't want this to be a fight, Ed, but cut me a break. I take care of those kids while you're gone, and I can't even get a minute to myself, and when I do, I'm reminding you about getting milk so Eleanor doesn't die"
"Well let's go then, alright??" he covers my hand with his across the table and squeezes, rubbing his thumb on the back of my hand. "you can divorce me later."
I watch in disbelief as Ed gets up from the table, and heads over towards the door of the nursery. At 10pm on a Monday evening, Ed Sheeran is going to wake up our sleeping children to take them on an adventure.
"Ed" I call out in a loud whisper, shaking my head when his hand meets the doorknob
"We can't just leave them here, and I'm not going alone!" he tells me, stubbornly, his brows furrowing. I roll my eyes at him, watching him disappear into the dark room, exiting a few minutes later with a sleeping Oliver in one arm, and a sleeping Eleanor in the other. Moments like this, regardless of the circumstances, melt my heart. Seeing Ed as the proud papa, toting around our babies, makes me want to marry him again and again, day after day, just to reassure me that this man will never change. I see Oliver begin to wake up, squirming ever so slightly in Ed's arm, and I make my way over to them to relieve Ed of both children, taking Oliver in my arms.
Oliver makes life easier to fall in love with. He's a tiny little human being, with the softest skin I have ever felt in my entire life. His tiny hands and feet grab and kick at anything they can find, and his chubby little legs throw him into the world, at alarming rates. He falls down, gets up, picks up whatever he can, and tries to put it in his mouth. It's kind of scary and adorable all at the same time. He cries when he's tired, and hungry, and just uncomfortable, and he laughs at the most ridiculous things. Like the way Ed blows raspberries on his tiny baby belly, tossing him up in the air and carefully catching him, and when Eleanor shares her beloved popsicles with him. I hold him close to me, swaying with him in my arms, trying to coax him back into that unconscious baby sleep he loves so much.
"I married a baby whisperer" He chuckles, watching as Oliver falls back asleep,
"nah, they just know who their mama is" I tell him, "I have two people who will always need me"
"Three" Ed corrects me, as he picks up the car keys sitting on the kitchen table, tossing the keys to me, "I'll always need you."
"You're sweet" I smile at him, heading towards the door, "you might convince me not to divorce you by the end of this"
"That's the plan." He chuckles. It's an acquired skill to be able to talk loud enough to hear, but soft enough not to wake up sleeping children. I think ours take after us with their sleep patterns. Specifically, they are just as cranky as Ed is when he's woken up out of a dead sleep for no reason. Which is why we've perfected the art of a loud whisper. That's how we have most of our conversations. Ed usually gets in late. Oliver and Eleanor end up in bed by 8pm, and by the time 9pm rolls around and Ed makes his way into the house, we spend a few hours talking about our days, eating reheated dinner, and trying to convince ourselves that we aren't losing each other to parenthood, despite the cheerios that end up down my shirt, or the baby food that ends up on his clothes. Marriage is hard. Parenthood is harder. It's hard to go from dating to being married. There's more commitment, more expectations, more rules. And when you throw some kids into the mix, it makes staying together that much more important. I came from a broken home, and I was convinced that I'd never get married. I couldn't fathom the idea that maybe someone would want to wake up to me every morning for the rest of their life. I had no idea anyone would even want that. And then Ed came along and convinced me that he'd love me forever, and that nothing would make him happier than having kids. And I love that about him, because you don't find people like him often. And when you do, you need to hold on to them.
One of my favorite things about papa Ed, is his ability to maneuver sleeping babies into carseats without ever waking them up. I think it has something to do with how many times I made him take Oliver out of the house whenever I was sick a few weeks after he was born. I couldn't get a single ounce of peace and quiet and Ed would put him in a stroller and basically just walk around the neighborhood with him until he was sure I was asleep. Have I mentioned how much I love this man?
We finally get the littles loaded up in the car, and we make it an ASTOUNDING 5 miles before Eleanor's awake.
"mama, why are we in the car?" I glance in the rearview mirror back at Eleanor who is rubbing her eyes, a frown on her face, "Is it morning?"
"not quiet, love" Ed responds, turning around towards her "we're going on an adventure"
"I like adventures" she squeaks, clapping her hands together
"It's a quiet adventure, E" he tells her, putting a finger to his lips, "Oliver's not invited"
"Oh, it's a secret" she mimics his movements by putting a finger to her lips, and Ed turns back around in his seat, winking at me.
We make it to the house where our milk and eggs are, and I turn the headlights off, pulling into the driveway as quietly as possible.
"I forgot my ski mask" he jokes, and I punch him in the shoulder, "Kidding"
"Just go open the garage door, slip inside, get our stuff, and get back in the car." I tell him , "piece of cake"
"yeah, okay" he grumbles. He turns back towards me, and presses his lips hard to mine, and I can feel the smile on his lips as he pulls away, "if something happens to me, know that I love you"
"I'll tell our children about you" I reply, in the most dramatic voice I can muster without laughing.
He opens the car door, and shuts it behind him quietly. I watch as he quietly jogs to the garage door, pushing it up just high enough for him to slip under. I watch him get down on all fours, before rolling under the garage door like some kind of Russian spy. I laugh into my palms when he does it, and my eyes direct from him to the house attached to the garage and the lights that are now on. I suspect that they heard the garage door, and as Ed comes rolling back out from under the door, he's got milk and eggs in his hands and he's yelling at me.
"Drive" he yells. I put the car in reverse, just in time for him to practically throw himself back into the passenger's seat, and I back out of the driveway and speed down the road.
"what the hell?" I ask him, my eyes wide as he catches his breath.
"Oh, nothing, I just always wanted to make a dramatic exit" he laughs, shaking his head.
"Papa you're funny" Eleanor giggles at him.
"thanks doll" he smiles back at her
"I love you" I tell him, shaking my head in disbelief, "thank you"
"anything for you" he takes my hand in his and presses his lips to the back of my hand.
This will go down as the Dairy incident of 2013. It will have started off as a fight. And it will end with laughter every time we think about it. I will remember this forever, and it will live in my heart as a positive memory, of Ed making a complete ass out of himself just to prove a point to his crazy wife.

Get Ready for Captain America in 2014
I've always been a fan of movies like Superman, Batman and Iron Man and most certainly The Avengers, because all those hunky superheroes are together in one flick.
So, Captain America is getting his own break; a movie all to himself, which is totally cool!
The movie will be coming to cinema's near you in 2014 and stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L Jackson and Robert Redford.
The official Captain America: The Winter Soldier trailer hit the net yesterday and seems to be more action packed than you'd expect! Which is always good in such movies, as long as there's a plot line to follow and not just action with no story!

5 Rocket Stocks Set to Rally
Ford Motor
Even if Ford Motor ( F) gleaming best-in-breed status among Detroit automakers has worn off, the firm still looks stellar in 2013. Just five years ago, the difference between Ford and its peers was a little more stark; after all, Ford was the only one of the big three to actually avoid bankruptcy in the wake of the Great Recession. But maybe more startling has been Ford's transition to making really good cars again.
>>4 Big Stocks on Traders' RadarsIn the 1990s and 2000s, Detroit became a punch line for failing to build cars that consumers actually wanted. No more. A complete revamp across Ford's lineup has left the firm with solid reviews from auto journalists as well as customer rankings that landed the firm in the coveted top tier for initial quality. And now, with interest rates scraping along historic lows, the barriers to getting into a new car have dropped dramatically for many consumers. Ford's revamp may have been late, but it's certainly better than never. Europe has been a big black cloud for Ford in 2013. While the firm has executed extremely well in the high volume car market here in North America, an ongoing economic crisis in the Eurozone (where Ford earns around 20% of sales) has weighed on performance. Now that the EU is showing signs of turning the corner, releasing that earnings drag could be a big catalyst this year.

This is great! And a whole lot of fun!
And so we talked, immigrant son to immigrant son, food-lover to food-lover, Chinaman to Chinaman. (It isn't the preferred nomenclature, but it works for us.) We had an honest debate over whether it's right for chefs to "take" someone else's culture and sell it, what responsibilities writers and chefs have to make sure people understand where cuisines come from, and, in the end, what it means to be an immigrant in America. What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation. It's long and there is some tough talk in there, but we felt it was worth sharing.

Place was awesome! I never write reviews, and I almost don't want to write one now and give away the secret of how nice this newly built cabin was to stay in with my wife and 2 year old baby girl. Very nice wilderness/camping feel with all the luxuries of a high end hotel. Bedding and towels were nice and plush. Has everything you could need in the kitchen and a grill outside. The hot tub was great, and while there are other cabins around you there is still a feeling of privacy due to the trees separating each property. Perfect place for a relaxing get away with near by attractions for kids and adults. We will definitely be going back!
Great Time
Great little location secluded away from people. Very peaceful. Easy shot to the lake to rent a boat. Thank you Delzie for the stay we really appreciate everything!! we plan on returning for sure =]

Earn your +1 before time runs out! Ensure your entry into the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon by volunteering now.
When Lisa Stublić gave up her brief swimming career and took up running instead, it soon proved to be a good choice: She won her first race for Crosby (CT) High School, a 4K, by two minutes, before going on to compete at Columbia University, where she earned All-America honors in the steeplechase while studying music theory. After drifting in NYC for a couple of years, Stublić had what she calls "a quarter-life crisis" and moved to Croatia, the country of her father's birth. She vowed to at least learn the language if nothing else, but she met a coach, Slavko Petrović, who sparked her running career. In December 2008, less than four months after she began training under Petrović, Stublić set a Croatian record in the half-marathon. In the 2010 Berlin Marathon, her debut at the distance, she ran 2:33:42 to set another national mark and achieve the Olympic "A" standard; she thus became the first Croatian female marathoner to qualify for the Olympic Games. Earlier this year, Stublić finished third in 1:09:18 in the NYC Half to lower her national mark for that distance, and then in April turned in a surprise 2:25:44 victory in the Zurich Marathon, a personal best by more than five minutes. She will be running her first ING New York City Marathon on November 3.

How could you? Films about betrayal
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
We do not want to give anything away plot-wise about Star Trek Into Darkness because its twists and turns are best experienced in the theatre. Suffice it to say that the crew of the Enterprise suffers a massive betrayal that endangers all their lives. In that vein, let's look at some of cinema's Judases, both figurative and literal.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Without waiting for Congress, President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced a sweeping $500 million program to curb gun violence, setting up a fight over universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting.
Obama also used his presidential powers to issue 23 orders that don't require congressional approval. The largely incremental executive steps include requiring federal agencies to make more data available for background checks, appointing a fulltime director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and directing the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence.
But the president, speaking at the White House, acknowledged the most effective actions must be taken by lawmakers.
"To make a real and lasting difference, Congress must act," Obama said. "And Congress must act soon."
Obama was flanked by children who wrote him letters about gun violence in the weeks following the Newtown shooting. Families of the 20 children killed in the massacre, as well as survivors, were also in the audience along with law enforcement officers and members of Congress.
"This is our first task as a society, keeping our children safe," Obama said. "This is how we will be judged."
The president based his proposals on recommendations from an administration-wide task force led by Vice President Joe Biden.
23 orders that bypass congress. He reminds of putin or chavez. at what point does he go from president to a communist type leader? If this was bush they would be screaming for his head on a silver platter but the oblamer can do no wrong. We had healthcare required, food limits in schools, taking health care options away from military retirees and making the remaining choices too expensive hoping everyone opts for obamacare, wants a blank check with no limit to put us trillions more in debt. Strange how someone doesn't want guns but just signed a bill to give him lifelong secret service protection and I know his kids aren't going without armed guards I think this is just the beginning of the end for the United States. Soon we will just be china (East)
Why do "changes" always equal spending more money?
I wonder if the president will use some of that $500M and find out exactly what really happened in Benghazi to have four Americans killed.
its not one persons place. it is the place of ALL our elected officials. When one person makes decisions that effect everyone its not a democracy, its a dictatorship. I could care less about the gun restrictions and a lot of them I agree with and I own guns. Why do we elect congressmen and representatives if "orders" are coming from the white house and not through the congress ? The only new thing here is the cross between mental health and background checks. It's the same laws we had on the books that didn't work at all. And ONE man dictating what we do, how we care for ourselves, how tax dollars are spent, what our children eat, As we become more dependent upon the government the government needs us less.
Why, WHY are tougher background checks and a ban on high-powered assault weapons such a terrible thing?
You don't need a high power assault rifle to go deer hunting. End of story.
Hiring people and telling law enforcement agencies to enforce the law are hardly puts Obama in a class with Hugo Chavez. Lets have keep the rhetoric down during this conversation.
Love its not the ban its how he is going about it. Why do we have elected officials if the oblamer is doing what he wants without addressing congress of the house of representative? I do agree with the assault ban and the mental health link to background checks. I don't agree with the .22 pistol I have for plinking at the range being banned.
I know at times we have to tell our public employees to do their job. Your right chavez may have been wrong. Stalin better? Marx? lenin? Khrushchev? Maybe Castro? Shipping jobs overseas and employing people here for minimum wage. I read an article about Obama wanting the rest of the world in the same class as the united states. He cannot raise the poverty rate of the rest of the world but he has lowered the standard of living in the united states. Keep defending him as he takes our rights one by one. When we have mid term elections everyone write in oblamer for all elected offices.
I read the new plans where does it say they're comming to take your gun? Where does it say say a 22 is banned? Unless you have a mental problem Isn't that what the nra wants Even when he agrees with the nra they say he's wrong Using nra logic why can't I use a 50 cal MG or a RPG to hunt with Why can't I have a tank or a cannon if I say I'm only going to use it to hunt with besides if you want civil war you will need bigger guns etc correct. What jobs did the pres send overseas? and the repuc want to end min wage rules to pay people even less
I have a .22 pistol that is banned under the dictators decision it holds 11 rounds. Why do you have a car that does over 80MPH that's the highest speed limit in the country that I know of? Actually if you were to invade a country tanks aren't the problems its those foot soldiers with guns. Tanks aren't really good at killing the masses they are mostly for hard targets. Keep electing those demoncrats and see where this country is in 2016. Can you imagine a demoncrat house and senate? National debt would be out of control!! Its ok tho Oblamer is giving free money and cell phones to the masses. Wrench you are one of the demoncrats blind followers They will make everything ok. like all the new minimum jobs in the Youngstown area. Government entitlements out of hand. I went to the title bureau and watched people pull in the welfare office in their $50k cars wearing more gold then I make in a month and collecting their food stamps and welfare checks. And I am sure the thugs will now obtain their AKs and ARs through legal means. I like how everyone thinks oblamer is a normal type guy he spent what the entire city of Youngstown makes in 5 years for reelection. He spends weekends in Hawaii while everyone else worries about a budget. He's worth 12 million. 7 of the 10 richest politicians are demoncrats. you think they really give a rat behind about what the public wants or is it what they perceive that public wants?
Background checks, bans and limits won't keep guns from being used by criminals or mentally ill.
Illegal drugs, illegal aliens. How's that working for us?
23 orders. Buried deep is the mention of mental health issues and desensitization through violent video games and movies. This is where we need to start.
National Institute of Mental Health website: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/public...
"Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.
When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people.
Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 — who suffer from a serious mental illness.
Mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.
Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders..

The Real Reason Women Want to Cuddle After Sex Is Bad News for Lazy Men
To cuddle after sex -- or to sleep, perchance to dream? That is the question researchers at the University of Michigan and Albright College in Pennsylvania asked. And they found out that when one partner falls asleep first, the lover who stays awake is left craving more bonding and affection.
Lead researcher Dan Kruger says, "The more one's partner was likely to fall asleep after sex, the stronger the desire for bonding." And it's not always the guys sawing logs right after sex and the women who want to cuddle -- the research shows men are just as likely to crave post-woo-hoo cuddling as women. But is it cuddling we want -- or satisfaction?
Right after reading about this study, I couldn't help thinking about comedian Louis CK's latest concert video where he talks about cuddling after sex. He says it's something women do when their lovers are lousy. They're left lying next to the man, thinking: Is that it?!? THERE HAS TO BE MORE!!! Hence the cuddling. As Louis puts it, "If you did it right, she'll leave you alone."
Maybe it's just because I've been married since the Triassic period, but I tend to agree with Louis. "Doing it right" is a form of intimacy. It takes a lot of communication and connection. You know, bonding-type stuff. And then you both get to rest. I'm all for the post-coital roll over and snooze routine. Why? I'll leave that to your imagination. Plus I'm married to a talker so I hear all about his feelings all day long.
But regardless, the study is food for thought. What do people really want when their partners fall asleep right after sex? Why is emotional bonding such an important part of sex for so many people, male and female? And in the movie When Harry Met Sally, is Sally right to be angry when Harry asks, "How long do I have to lie here and hold her before I can get up and go home?" The world may never know.
Are you a cuddler, or do you fall asleep right after sex?

Cuddling after sex is pretty rare with us, but that's because I have to go to the bathroom right afterward (or hello, UTI). Sometimes we'll cuddle after that. But most of the time, we both just want to go to the kitchen and get a snack. LOL

GeochemistryJanuary 23, 2012 at 5:53 PMI go take a shower with him after. I can't sleep when I'm all juicy and sweaty. When I'm having sex, I want it nasty. I get enough hugs all day, sometimes you just wanna bone.

JudyofColumbiaJanuary 23, 2012 at 6:38 PMNot true. 1st off, sex isn't or shouldn't be the same each time. Sometimes people want to make love. Most cuddle after making love. Sometimes people want to "get one off" quickly and go to sleep. Other times people just want to have wild, nasty sex. The sex in all three scenarios is usually amazing when you're with the person you love, and with whom you're sexually compatible. Cuddling is situation dependent. It isn't a way to judge how good the sex was.

GrairavenJanuary 23, 2012 at 7:59 PM
That depends on when we made the 'woo-hoo'. In the afternoon? Yeah we get a cuddle in but at night?? LOL Most times it's a quick cuddle which is generally ended when we both fall asleep and roll over. ; ) But we don't cuddle because we 'lack' something in our bedroom, quite the opposite. We cuddle because we're happy and just freakin content. There are times my 'honey'' will get in the bed with me and make absolutely no moves but snuggle up to me and fall asleep with his chin on my shoulder and his face in my hair. It's wonderful. :D
