The Glenelg Football Club wishes to announce that our captain Ty Allen will play his last game for the club on Saturday afternoon in our league match against Port Adelaide Magpies here at Gliderol Stadium.
Ty, our current club co-captain, has been a magnificent player for our club over his 14 years, being a triple Best & Fairest winner over his 159 league games since making his league debut in 2003. The respect Ty holds from his team mates both past and present, his opponents over the years, and everyone involved with the Glenelg Football Club, is a tribute to both Ty the player and Ty the person.
The club will be honouring Ty both on Saturday, and in the weeks to come. We ask that all Glenelg members and supporters head down to Gliderol Stadium on Saturday so Ty can be farewelled in a manner fitting the status he holds within the Club.
Please refer to the attached article prepared by the SANFL's Zac Milbank.

For 44 years the national civic organization known as "The Committee of the 101″ in Kansas City hosts an award program recognizing the very best in the National Football League. They host a black-tie dinner and this year, all proceeds from the event were donated to the Truman Medical Center charitable foundation. It is a veritable "who's who" of the NFL right in the heart of America every year.
The categories recognized by the 101 are:
AFC Offensive Player of the Year
NFC Offensive Player of the Year
AFC Defensive Player of the Year
NFC Defensive Player of the Year
AFC Coach of the Year
NFC Coach of the Year
Lamar Hunt Award for Professional Football
Also recognized every year are the Derrick Thomas Award for the most valuable Kansas City Chiefs player and the Mack Lee Award for the Chiefs rookie of the year.
All of the awards were announced before hand, but the two Chiefs specific awards aren't released until the afternoon of the event. Hosted by NFL Network's Paul Burmeister — who also does the play by play along with Trent Green on the Chiefs preseason games telecasts — it was quite an event, to say the least.
As everyone expected, Jamaal Charles was the Derrick Thomas award for the year. Generating almost 2,000 yards of offense by himself and scoring 19 touchdowns through the air and ground will have that affect. In fact, if it wasn't for the record breaking season by the Denver Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning, he would have probably won the AFC Offensive Player of the Year Award as well.
Another familiar face took to the stage though as head coach Andy Reid was named the AFC Coach of the Year. Taking a team in complete disarray from a dismal 2-14 season to 11-5 — including a record breaking 9-0 start — and a playoff berth is cause for some notice. There was talent on this team before Reid took over last January but it wasn't being utilized. He found a way to do that.
No other Chiefs won the "national" awards as the pass rusher from the Indianapolis Colts, Robert Mathis, took home the AFC Defensive Player of the Year nod.
Being voted the Rookie of the Year was an unlikely candidate in Marcus Cooper. Cooper found his way to the stage in a pretty convoluted way. He was drafted out of Rutgers by the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh-round of last year's draft and then cut just after the final preseason game. Chiefs general manager John Dorsey saw something in him and brought him onto the Chiefs where he quickly found himself thrust into a starting role due to injuries. Though Cooper had a bit of a downturn toward the end of the season, he finished the 2013 campaign with 44 tackles, three interceptions and a forced fumble. Perhaps his biggest play though was recovering a muffed punt in the endzone against the Tennessee Titans for his first career touchdown. That's not too shabby for a seventh-round pick.
The final award of the evening, though, went to another familiar face in Kansas City. In 2008, the Committee of the 101 added the Lamar Hunt Award for Professional Football. The award is the pinnacle of the event and given to an individual or entity who embodies the spirit of competition and the NFL. Past winners of the award include Roger Staubach, NFL Films, Monday Night Football, Tony Dungee and the Foolish Club — the original eight owners of the American Football League who were "foolish" enough to go up against the NFL. This year, the Chiefs legendary and Super Bowl winning quarterback Len Dawson was added to that list. Presented by the son of the award's namesake, Clark Hunt, Dawson was overwhelmed.
Finally, in addition to all the awards, Hunt also had another huge piece of news for the crowd. Legendary Chiefs running back Priest Holmes will be inducted into the Chiefs hall of fame. Holmes, who came to the Chiefs in 2001 as a free agent still has the most rushing yards by a single player at 6,070. Add his 76 rushing touchdowns — including 48 in two seasons — and it's easy to see why he'll adorn the ring of honor.
"It is an honor to announce the induction of Priest Holmes into the Chiefs Hall of Fame," Hunt said. "On behalf of my family and the entire Chiefs organization I would like to congratulate Priest on a remarkable career. As the Chiefs franchise all-time leader in rushing yards, total touchdowns and rushing touchdowns, Priest set a standard for excellence on and off the field during his time in Kansas City. We are grateful for his contributions to the team and the community."
Arrowhead Addicts congratulates all of the 101 Award winners for 2013, but especially the Committee of the 101 for putting on such a great event and helping a worth cause.

I'd prefer to think that the season is in transition rather than ending but when we start throwing some of summer's best blooms into the bed of Blithewold's truck, it definitely feels more like a goodbye than a see-you-later. This week, once again, the rain and a woolly nor'easter held off just long enough for […]
Celebrating Our Arboretum
(Oct 23, '14)
There's something very new and exciting going on this year in Blithewold's Visitor's Center during Christmas at Blithewold. Gail Read, Gardens Manager, Kris Green, Interpretive Horticulturist, and Betsy Ekholm, Horticulturist, have partnered with the garden volunteers to design a display to Celebrate Our Arboretum. Essentially, they are pulling different natural features from throughout the Grounds, preserving […]

Tengda in Katonah
- chocolate chick Dec 1, 2006 12:31 AM
Love to get some feedback. We are going next weekend. Thanks.
re: SLO
Went with a friend to Tengda last night. The restaurant was full at 7:30(on a Wed.)when we arrived. They do not yet have a liquor license, which is okay, but then I hoped for some interesting drinks (bubble tea, exotic juices...) which they also did not offer. Although the sushi sounded interesting, we opted for hot food. We shared a short ribs appetizer which was served in bit size chunks over a slightly spicy/sweet sauce and was excellent. It was served along side cubed sweet potatoes with a slightly different glaze. The potatoes were undercooked IMO. I had thai chilli snapper with baby bok choy for the entree. It was a great piece of fish but the sweet chilli sauce was just good, not great. The bok choy was quite tender. For dessert, we shared fried coconut cream. There were 5 balls of delicious coconut cream custard with a tempura crust. The crust was flavorless but the inside was decadent. It was also sprinkled with caramelized peanuts that were wonderful. The total came to $33 each including tip. I'm going back Satuday night w/my DH and another couple. Worth a visit.
I had lunch there today with a friend. I was really excited about it, having checked out the take-out menu and the posts here. I ordered the basil with shitake mushrooms and chicken, but I noticed that the menu only offered two choices of soup - Tom Yum and Miso, while the take-out menu also offered Hot & Sour. And for main courses, the take-out menu also offered fried rice, vs brown and white in the restaurant. My friend asked for fried rice when he ordered his food; the waiter refused, telling him he could only get what was on the menu, so he ordered brown. After the waiter left, I went and got a take-out menu and showed him where it said that fried rice was available, although I also told him that I had read that the menus were different for take-out (the NY Times article pointed this out). When the food was delivered, he asked again for the fried rice, and again was refused. He asked to see a manager, and a woman came over, who again repeated that the take-out menu was different, mumbling some lame excuse about it being what customers wanted. So my friend asked why he could not have fried rice with his in-house lunch; the woman said the menu was a management decision. So he asked where management was, at which point the woman told him that she was a manager. And of course, she refused to budge on it.
The food was pretty good (in fact, it was excellent, and large portions too), but they pissed off my friend (who is a lawyer and judge, and had eaten there twice before but obviously had not ordered off that portion of the menu where rice was an issue) so much that he is going to refuse the eat there in the future. I just do not get places like this that simply insist on doing profoundly stupid things that piss off customers (and for absolutely no good reason). I stopped going to Ace in Thornwood when they decided to charge a dollar for rice with my sashimi, and other petty stuff like charging for green tea. And I'm kind of upset too, since I would have preferred the Hot & Sour soup, which is obviously not an option at lunch, unless I get my food to go.
I do hope to get back there for dinner to try those coconut balls (and I can get the H&S soup then).
re: SLO
I found their soups and many kitchen dishes over salted, and I like salt.I don't think it's MSG. Most chinese rests use MSG and lie about it. It's really powerfull stuff and Restaurant Depot has it in TUBS! So someone is using it. Often times it'll give you a headache, and that's the dead giveaway.
Almost glad to read that others shared my impression of management being arrogant. I had been there a number of times previously and found the food to be pretty good and the service fair but eager. I went there recently for what will be my last time with my friend and his wife. The sound system had a very loud incessant electronic beat that precluded any conversation. A sound very much like what one hears at the aerobic classes in health clubs.Repeated polite requests to have the volume lowered finally brought a young lady to our table who identified herself as the manager.She adamantly refused to lower the volume.
Since I knew that they had two other restaurants I took it upon myself to e mail them to appraise them of the situation and let them know that they had a manager there who was certainly not helping the image of the restaurant. To date ( three weeks) there has been no response.
re: docooker
So I finally got to do a take-out lunch from Tengda today. I ordered the chicken hot & sour soup and the Wok Basil Chicken. The chicken was excellent, a very large portion, I will have it for lunch on Monday as well :-). The soup was so-so. Not as good as other hot and sour soups that I have had (in terms of spiciness and richness), but it was chock full of tofu, and even had some enoki mushrooms. And there was almost no chicken, which didn't really bother me.
They also pack their food very nicely. Mine was in a paper bag, and then a nice clear plastic bag. Much nicer than other Chinese places.
Oh, and relative to the earlier discussion here about their customer friendliness, I found an interesting quote in the Journal News article here:
where they claim he opened in Katonah because customers requested it and "the customer is always right". I guess his Katonah manager doesn't believe that.
Also, I posted in this thread earlier this week that their website was broken. It apparently got deleted. I wonder why?
I think that Tengda is yet another Asian fusion restaurant which seems to be chic these days. The change over from a specific Asian cuisine (Japanese, Chinese, Thai, etc) to a mix has vitiated the quality of the fish, the food in general and the freshness of foods prepared.
I wish I could say that Tengda's food is of note, or that there is at least one item on the menu that is compelling, but I would be telling a fib.
We were a foursome for lunch, folks in their sixties and fifties who were looking for a decent casual meal. Disappointing would be a complement to the chef.
I had an appetizer mix (tom yung gong, "thai" calamari and steamed vegetable dumplings & 2 thai crab cakes), my wife and the other woman in the group had the bento box which included salmon with a "teryaki" glaze and a california roll. I've actually for
gotten what the other man had, but it obviously made no impression on me.
Now for a description of the food: (and note that all my items came to the table COLD, not even tepid). 1-Tom Yung Gong is a standard shrimp broth combination that I've had both in the States and in Europe. The shrimp had freezer burn, had been defrosted and refrozen and had that fall apart not fresh in your mouth taste. There was a lack of anything Thai about the dish, a bit of cayenne, some mung beans (no lemon grass presence at all nor any sambal) with a cloying amount of sugar (I can say this for most of the dishes tried). Both the calamri and the dumplings were in a gelatinous sauce of a tiny bit of heat and you guessed it, sugar. The crab cakes might have had a hint of crab and was bland (which suggests the substitution of a bland inexpensive fish like pollack) had no character to speak of and had no thai flavoring at all. (Same questions-where was the heat from a sambal or chili pepper, where was the lemon grass, garlic/ginger/green onion/thai basil?) Even some salt would have helped.
My wife reported back that the california roll had no character, was absolutely bland, she had one bite and was finished. The salmon in the bento box was also cold with the "terryaki" sauce a gelatinous corn starch laden plastic cover to the fish. Terryaki sauce, especially for an oriental restaurant, should be a no brainer - soy sauce, fresh ginger and garlic and green onion, a touch of sugar or honey, a bit of sesame oil, mirin...
Since we were with friends and the social experience was way more important than the food, I decided not to get up and leave or engage with management (who sound unresponsive at best by other posters) to comp the whole meal. I doubt that they would have anyway.
Now my review is way more negative than most other folks who have posted here. I would never go back there even for free food (Tengda should pay its customers for the unpleasant eating experience). I should mention that I am foodie, been told that I am an excellent cook (including my oriental food), and have watched the quality of food in restaurants deteriorate with the economy.
Anyone else share my negative experiences?
re: rgweiser53
I don't get sushi when I go to Tengda. And their hot & sour soup is the best in the area. We have lunch there regularly and it's almost always excellent. The last time was not as good, we got tiny portions of soup and I thought my entree was not as good. But the server seemed to be different than normal, and I'm thinking maybe the regular crew was off because it was Super Bowl Sunday (we went for lunch).
re: rgweiser53
It's OK, but my vote would be Oishi, however they'v gone downhill. The have no exotic Japanise fish like Amber Jack, Orange Clam, Yellow Jack. They are all big on the "WHAT CAN I CALL THIS" roll, and shove 6 different fish into it and charge you $22. Boy, that's not sushi! That's garbage! My favorite is Azuma in Hartsdale, HANDS DOWN!

Mark Turgeon sat down with Matt Bracken of the Baltimore Sun on Wednesday, and in case you missed it, here's a second chance to check it out. The topics first covered had to do with Turgeon's very impressive offseason of recruiting, which included a number of 4/3-star recruits including Shaquille Cleare, Jake Layman, and Charles Mitchell.
Here are a few of the interesting tidbits:
When asked whether or not Charles Mitchell would be able to come in right away and play:
"I think when he gets into shape, he has a chance to really be a heck of a college player for us here at Maryland. He's a guy we're counting on. We didn't sign anybody to sit on the bench. We signed guys who can help us and play right away."
When asked what position Sam Cassell Jr. might play in their offense:
"He's trying to play the point. He's probably more of a 2 right now, but in our offense, all our guys get the chance to come off ball screens and make plays for us. Everybody's kind of the same in the end. But we recruited Sam to really help us this year."
When asked about how his 2013 recruiting class is shaping up
"Unfortunately we put so much time into '12, it felt like we were a little behind for '13. But we've been able to get ahead for '14 and '15, which is good. But '13 is a difficult class for us. We've worked hard and we'll see what happens."
When asked about the departure of Terrell Stoglin and who can step up:
"I think Nick [Faust] likes to shoot, and he's going to score. He's got to figure out different ways to score. Hopefully he'll be more of an offensive rebounder this year, and those buckets are easier to get. He'll get to the foul line more, too."
"It'll be by committee and [we'll be] much more balanced. We'll obviously share the ball a lot better than we did last year and make for a better offensive team."
Those are just some of the snippets during their conversation, and I have to say, I love what I hear out of Mark Turgeon. He has already shown himself to be a superior recruiter to Gary Williams, and his 2012 class (despite starting late) is hammering that point home. This class is loaded, and it's nice to hear a little about what roles Turgeon envisions for so many talented, young players.
Even though he claims that Maryland got off to a late start on the 2013 recruiting class, there is still plenty of time left to secure some more quality players *cough* Harrison twins *cough*. Not to mention hometown hero Roddy Peters, who is very close to committing to the Terrapins. At the very least, next year's recruiting class will include transfers that Turgeon skillfully scooped up via the transfer wire this offseason. Namely Evan Smotrycz, who will have to sit a year but should come in and play some very quality minutes for the Terps.
All in all, the interview just gives Maryland hoop fans another reason to be very excited about the future with Mark Turgeon at the helm.

It was a dark and stormy day… (Taken with instagram)
Today is a beautiful day. (Taken with instagram)
Last post of the night. Sleep tight, Tumblr.

Louie Schwartzberg: Nature. Beauty. Gratitude.
A new thing I decided to do is start and end my day with a video from TED, which for those who don't know stands for Technology Entertainment and Design and is a series of conferences that take place around the world with speakers from many different fields and all walks of life, speaking about their studies. TED's mission is to share "ideas worth spreading". These speakers and videos are not only educational but are also quite fascinating, courageous, beautiful and inspirational. I was particularly moved by this one I saw tonight.
And thus, I leave you with this beautiful and inspiring video as I go to bed. Louie Schwartzberg somehow manages to capture how truly magnificent an mother nature is and how precious life is through his photography. It brought me to tears and had a profound impact on me - as of today, I will try my hardest to take nothing for granted for life is fleeting and you must savor every moment.
Goodnight, Tumblr.

Husband accepted a new job this week. His current company is going downhill. He doesn't see things lasting much longer, maybe a year. He is really excited about this new opportunity because he was offered a job at the same time he accepted his position at his current company. He had given a verbal acceptance to his current company and did not want to go back on his word. When he saw that New Company was hiring, he contacted HR, who instantly remembered him. Long story short, Husband will be starting a new job, with an amazing company and he will be working on some really cool stuff.
I am so happy for Husband. He has been down in the dumps lately because of all the BS that is going on at his current job. Also, the interview process was more of the standard HR question-crapola that makes Husband want to have a root canal than talk about how he works with others. But, he made it through with flying colors. He is happy and excited. That makes me happy.
And, I can't help but be a little jealous.
Does that make me a green eyed monster?
I feel like crap for even saying it. Husband deserves this opportunity. He is amazing at what he does. He will be working on projects that are not only in his skill set, but in an area that he enjoys doing. He is super smart. Honestly, if I was the HR person, and I did not know him from a can of paint, I would hire him.
I am jealous because I can't even get an interview for another adjunct gig. Hell, I barely even get an FU-rejection letter. I am depressed because teaching one online class while only taking on PhD class is just not enough for me. Nothing on PhD acceptance is going to change anytime soon because PhD Uni only does Fall admission. Assisting my prof with research won't happen until sometime next year as well. I've been getting all of my materials ready for the December deadline, but that consumes only a fraction of time. And, it gets really boring doing GRE problems.
The job issue is out of my control somewhat, since most applications go to the virtual HR no-man's-land. I do long for the days when there was a live person one could politely harass in order to get an interview.
My limited ability to get out and about doesn't help matters. Honestly, I feel invisible.
I don't want to say anything to Husband. Not because I don't think he would understand, he would understand. I know him. He would be worried about me and how I am feeling sad/frustrated and he would try to make things better. I just do not want to rain on his parade. I don't want this time to be about me. It should be about him. Sadly, the only place that I feel even slightly comfortable saying anything about it is here.
And otherwise suffer in silence.
Silent Monster
Husband accepted a new job this week. His current company is going downhill. He doesn't see things lasting much longer, maybe a year. He is really excited about this new opportunity because he was offered a job at the same time he accepted his position at his current company. He had given a verbal acceptance to his current company and did not want to go back on his word. When he saw that New Company was hiring, he contacted HR, who instantly remembered him. Long story short, Husband will be starting a new job, with an amazing company and he will be working on some really cool stuff.
Well, I survived...
The test was OK. As I expected, I did fine on the verbal, but so-so on the quantitative. On the plus side of things, Husband helped me raise my quantitative score five points. Mentor Prof wants me to take the exam again, to raise my quantitative score. I've heard rumors that there is a certain score that the program will accept, and I am not far from reaching that score. With that in mind, I am taking the test again next month.
You know what's funny? I am OK with taking it again. With all of my bitching, moaning and meltdowns over the entire process, I am really OK with taking it again. I know what I am dealing with and how to best attack it. Husband says he will help me again with the math, which I am VERY grateful, Mentor Prof says that she will put in a good word about me to the committee and tell them the effort that I am putting toward making all of this happen.
I did decide to forgo presenting at the conference that accepted my proposal. I just need to focus on prepping for Round 2. Also, I have a ton of work with the course that I am currently taking. And, I cannot forget about my lambs in the course that I teach. I just have way to much on my plate and something has got to go. It sucks that I won't be going, but since they are not going to publish my paper in their journal, going to the conference to only speak seems like a waste of time and money.
It's been a couple of rough weeks. But, it's midterm break right now. I will have a chance to recharge a little before next week when the world begins to get crazy. So, I am going to enjoy some breathing room for a moment, then hit the ground running.
Emotional Overload
I had a major meltdown yesterday.
I've been studying rather intensely for the GRE. The last few days, in particular, were filled with drilling down the concepts for the quantitative section. I was making up for lost time, since my plans for preparing over the summer were a huge fail. Math was never my forte, so Husband, who is quite the math guru, provided assistance by tutoring me. Everything seemed to be going well. I had made significant progress. But last night, I was somehow getting problems correct, but there were some minor calculation errors. Suddenly, I could not understand why things were wrong. Nothing seemed to make sense. Despite Husband's efforts to calm me and let me know that everything was OK, I fell apart.
I ran out of the room, locked myself in the bedroom and cried my eyes out.
Husband tried to follow me, but he thought it was best to let me be for a while. After an hour he knocked on the door and I was composed enough to talk about it. I was seriously contemplating not taking the test, even forgoing the PhD thing completely. I was feeling helpless, lost and even too stupid.
After talking it through, which included some more tears, I think my meltdown was a combination of information overload, my frustration/depression over stuff from the summer and my past issues with math, which have nothing to do with the concept of math, but with my experiences with being taught. We both agreed that I just need to quit studying for now and let all the information sink in and marinate. Perhaps, I needed to release of a lot of things...that's what the crying was about.
As I write this, it is super foggy outside. It's like pea soup. It's how I feel right now.
Today, I need to focus on myself and wait for the fog to lift.
Proverbial Question
Yesterday, I had a meeting with my professor at PhD U. I asked to meet with her to discuss my topic for the final paper. I wanted to use the manuscript that I am writing for submission to a journal, which is also the basis for a conference presentation I am doing later this fall. Instead, she wanted to talk about where I was with the program application process. I told her I was scheduled to take the GRE next week. I have verbal commitment from two people for letters of recommendation. I told her that I was on track for having my application submitted by the December deadline.
Then she asked me something I was prepared to answer.
She wanted to know what my plans were after I earn my PhD.
In my defense, and I need one, I was not prepared to discuss that topic. My mind was filled with other things. I was giving a presentation in her class in an hour. I was thinking about the paper that I was going to write for her class, which was the purpose of the meeting, or so I thought. The last thing I wanted to talk about was where I am going to be once I finish my PhD.
But, it was a fair question.
I ended up falling back on my lawyer skills and gave an answer that was bedazzled with brilliance but full of total bullshit. Thinking back, I don't even recall what I told her. We talked about the practitioner vs. researcher tracks, particularly with respect to dissertation topics. She also invited me to volunteer to assist her with a major research project next semester. She offered to be a sounding board, mentor, whatever I would want to call it. We did get to talking about my paper, and I got a better sense of what she was looking for in that particular assignment. All in all, it was a good talk.
But, I could not get that question and my bullshit answer out of my head. I had all of these thoughts swimming around in my head. So much so that I had a hard time focusing on my presentation. Although, I got many compliments on my talk, I don't think I brought my "A" game because I just could not shake that question from my head.
What do I want to do with the PhD?
When I decided that I was going to pursue the PhD, my thought was that having the PhD, would lead to more job opportunities in academia. Long time readers know of my struggle with "just a JD". But, I never thought about anything past that. I didn't have the stock answer to the proverbial question "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
It's a fair question. I just need to figure out an answer that isn't bullshit.
Not Me
As I was reading through posts on FB, I learned that someone that grew up with passed away. Post after post talked about what a wonderful person she was and how she was a friend to everyone who knew her.
Except me.
I hope that this person changed and realized the error of her ways. Hopefully, she realized what she did was wrong. Perhaps she became a good person. I don't know.
I mean, I am not happy that she has passed. I would not wish death on anyone...EVER.
I have no idea where my motivation has gone. It's not like I don't have anything to do. I have tons of things that need to be done. But, even with my trusty To Do list, my motivation is lacking. I begin each day with good intent. And, most days, I am good. But today, even my usual tricks that help me get going are not working. And, I am usually ready to go after my morning run/walk with Junior. But, that hasn't helped at all.
Even writing this post is a painfully slow process.
I am not sure if this is a rut or if I am just bored.
Maybe, it's frustration.
A little bit of everything?
I do miss blogging on a regular basis. I think that when I am writing about what is going on in my crazy, mixed-up world, I am able to process what is going on in my head. Although, I am not sure if there are people out there who still read. But, then again, it's about processing. Having the support of a community of readers helps. I love having input from those out there who do read. But, again it's about trying to figure out all this shit that goes through my head.
40-Something Paradox
I have often said that being in my 40's is fabulous. And it has been fabulous. I am in the best shape of my life. I am confident in many aspects of my life. I don't give a rat's ass of what people think.
But, there is one part of being 40 that is not so fabulous...being passed up or not being valued for your experience because of your age.
Husband is experiencing this at work. He is considered the "old man". He and two other guys are in their mid to late 40's. They have 20+ years of experience in the field. Yet, they are having to answer to younger guys who have little to no experience in the field. In two cases, it's their first job. Needless to say, Husband and his buddies are frustrated because they see things that are wrong, yet management wants to go with what the young guys want to do. And, when Husband and the older guys try to show the younger guys the error of their ways, it is met with arrogance.
Needless to say, Husband is an unhappy camper. It could be that the HMFIC's at Husband's job are just being douchey. But, that does make the feelings less real.
I've seen this too. I often wonder if part of the reason that I am being passed for jobs in my age. It doesn't take a math genius to see that on my CV, I am in my mid 40's. But, I often wonder if my experience is a detriment rather than an asset. Now, I am not saying that there is discrimination going on here. I can't prove it.
But, it does give me pause.
I remember when I began looking for attorney jobs. No experience meant no job. The rub was how does one get experience when you are not give to chance to get experience. Now, it seems the rub is how is one rewarded for their experience when those in power do not recognize the value in experience?
And, there lies the paradox.
About Me
- Seeking Solace
- I am a college professor who is fumbling through the chaos of academia, rheumatoid arthritis, working on my PhD and just being a 40 something woman. I used to be a lawyer, which made me a snarky little person. I have a wonderful Husband and a German Shepherd named Junior. They help keep me sane.

Hey Pinterest, all I want for xmas are these updates!
Hi, Pinterest!!! I'm an avid Pinterest user (sometimes abuser) but this year I've been sooo good! I've made several projects from my DIY boards and I've even utilized you to get organized in my career (about to graduate from MBA.) So, since I've been so good I wonder if you would kindly grant me three wishes. They're just three
suggestions pleads on improvements that would make my Pinterest experience sooo much more useful :D
1. I wish I could have separate notifications for comments, new followers and repins. Honestly, I don't care that much about who repins me. I care a little more about new followers but I care significantly more about comments left on my pins. Comments are really important!
2. I wish I could favorite some accounts. There are a few accounts that are very important to me and I wish I could somehow separate them from the rest…which takes me to my next request…
3. I wish I could separate the pins on my homepage by accounts. Once you follow so many accounts, your homepage just becomes a muddy mix of food, fitness, DIYs, and quotes… and I'm not always in the mood to look at all these together. I'd love it if I could choose to see pins from only certain accounts.
Please, Pinterest…please! I promise to be a much more productive Pinterester next year!
Merry Xmas!

How did the term "Booting up" come from?The computer term "booting up" comes from the phrase "Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps."
Though "booting up" is a phrase slowly falling out of popular use in favor of more practical terms like "turn on your computer," it's still one that everyone knows. A variant of the term, "reboot," (which again the existence of should be no surprise) was even the title of a children's show several years back.
By definition, booting up is the first few operations that a computer system performs when the power is switched on. Though today with the new operating systems like Windows 8, many computers are essentially in a perpetual running state, they still require a set of operations in order to properly turn on. The "booting up" process specifically refers to the period of time and series of processes that occur when a computer has been turned on until the computer is ready to perform its functions.
The term derives from the phrase "to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps" because of the paradoxical nature of the startup process. For a computer to run, it needs to load software, but some software must run so that the software can be loaded. Initially, a number of methods were used to get a fragment of software into memory to get the startup process going until the invention of read-only memory could make everything simpler.
How did the term bug derived?
It came from the world's first computer – the Mark1 – a room size maze of electromechanical circuits built in 1944 in a lab at Harvard University. The computer developed a glitch one day and no one was able to locate the cause.
After hours of searching, a lab assistant finally spotted the problem. It seemed a moth had landed on one of the computer's circuit boards and shorted it out. From that moment on, computer glitches were referred to as BUGS.

I've read online a lot lately that people are really complaining about Mr.SNK being a representative of the US at SBO Tougeki 2011. And how he doesn't deserve to go.
A lot of people say, "Oh, Mike Ross should've gone instead, they should swap him. He's the better Honda." But people don't realize, that's just an opinion. Sure, even I think he is worse than Mike Ross, but in a team tournament, I believe it is better to have team synergy than to just pick up the best players. It's about being able to play with your teammate and understanding each other's abilities. It's not just easy to pick up anyone.
Mr.SNK did not give a good showing at SBO Qualifiers, but he's done a lot for the community and he's done a lot for the game. I believe that if he didn't go with Latif and drive with him, Latif would have not came to SBO Qualifiers, and would a better team have won? That's still and will forever be up for debate. But like Latif told me at qualifiers… If you can't beat him, then that means he has the best team. Latif also told me he didn't want to drive 8 hours by himself with no teammate three days before qualifiers. I didn't even think he was going to show up, so he picked up the teammate that believed in him. Congratulations on getting to Japan :).
What people don't realize is that there were many teams in the tournament, trying to keep away the top players from winning that had no intention of winning. Do I think that's more of an argument than Mr.SNK? Yes. I do. Why would you purposely enter a tournament that had no prize except a plane ticket, but had no passport, no money to go to japan, or not even having the intention of going to Japan? There's no rules against it, but then again, it's what everyone calls, "Gatekeeping". But in the end, is it really worth the hassle to keep everyone who actually plans on going from going? Is that a nice thing to do or a straight up dick thing to do?
I found it to be retarded that Justin and Valle played me and ClakeyD to keep us from going to Japan, and that's cool, but in the end, Justin would have just let EG win if they had gotten to them. No, Justin didn't tell me this (we don't talk that much fyi), and, of course, this is all speculation… Blatantly obvious speculation. You could have a bad matchup against one person, and that one person who has no intention of going just beats you and laughs. They don't care. Is that sportsmanship? Isn't that just being straight dirty? Is that really sending the best team to Japan, that could potentially lose to other teams, but those teams are being wiped out by one team that has no intention of going, just knocking out the competition of their teammates? Probably not.
For example, look at how teams ComboJack/HungBee took out… They had no intentions of going just going. But in the end, justice is served, and the man who had intentions on going and the best man at the tournament, Latif took out everyone ^_^
Let me know in the comments homies :).

My sister had a problem with infertility too. She wanted to have a child with her husband she just couldn't do it. I felt so bad for her.

Boycotting shopping at Hobby Lobby: Yes
Yelling at Hobby Lobby employees because their corporation is dangerously conservative: No. Do not do this. Do not torture minimum wage employees for this.
Better yet, if you meet a Hobby Lobby employee, discuss with them what THEY need to get a better job and HELP THEM DO IT.
I love long dresses. I love velvet. I love high boots. I never change. I love the same eye make-up. I'm not a fad person. I still have everything I had then. That's one part of me… that's where my songs come from. There's a song on the new Fleetwood Mac album [Mirage] that says, 'Going back to the velvet underground/back to the floor that I love,' because I always put my bed on the floor. 'To a room with some lace and paper flowers/ back to the gypsy that I was.' And that's San Francisco. That's the Velvet Underground. Those are the things that I can't give up.

I've got your Saturday morning all figured out for you.
There are recipes to keep on hand for when you notice brown specs on your bananas and don't want to waste them. And, there is a different category of recipes for which you plan ahead, buy bananas, and put them in a paper bag to ripen in order to satisfy your ingredient requirements. These pancakes were invented for the first category and have graduated immediately to the second. BUY BANANAS now so you can eat these banana bread pancakes on Saturday morning.
Almost always, my over ripe bananas are used to make this banana bread recipe. I go for this whole wheat version when I am planning to use them for school lunches or feel the need to be a bit healthier. Most of the time when I veer from my standby recipe, I am sorry. It is so easy and so foolproof, I've found that it can't be trumped.

Ford Masters The Mid-Cycle Refresh It's one thing for an automaker to develop a single great vehicle. After all, even a blind squirrel can score the occasional nut. But to gain a loyal customer base, automakers must string together a consistent cadence of winners. When CEO Alan Mulally joined Ford Motor Company in 2006, he inherited a product lineup ...
Forty-six Years Of Refinement Make It The Pony Car To Beat Potentially ruinous. All that work on an impressive new 5.0-liter V8 engine, chassis tweaks and other piecemeal refinements for the 2011 Ford Mustang GT are almost all for naught because of a single glaring issue. What could erase all the gains the Mustang has made for 2011? The answer is ...
Ask any economics professor – competition is a good thing. Exhibit A? The large pickup truck market. Ford F-Series trucks have been the number-one selling vehicle line in the United States for more than three decades, but the automaker has never grown complacent. Each new iteration has been bigger, badder and more capable than its predecessor, and ...
Remember when economy cars offered few concessions beyond roll-your-own windows, rear window defrosters and AM radios? It was only a handful of years ago that features on our 2011 Ford Fiesta SES tester would've qualified it for premium car status – if indeed items like Bluetooth, SYNC, a capless fuel fill and knee airbags were even available. ...
The Ford Escape Hybrid was the first mass-produced battery-assisted SUV on the market when it launched in 2004, and from day one it's delivered on Ford's promise of class-leading economy. It also offered similar performance and handling to its gas-powered counterparts with virtually no compromise. Sales have steadily risen each year and The Blue Oval ...
If there were one undeniable business lesson to be learned from the auto industry during the past decade, it's to keep a close eye on your sales and a closer eye on your capacity. As Ferrari executives have repeatedly said over the years, the supply of any model should always be exactly one less than the demand. Less supply and you're leaving money on ...
We know what you're thinking. Isn't it a little late to be reviewing the 2010 Shelby GT500? After all, Ford introduced the 2011 version with the new aluminum block at last month's Chicago Auto Show. It's not that we didn't want to get our hands on the 2010 GT500 before now. In fact, we were champing at the bit to review one a few days after our First ...
H. B. Halicki was a used car salesman who wanted to make a movie. With a little money, one big idea, and a 1971 Mustang Mach 1, he made Gone in 60 Seconds. And in that particular way that movies, especially '70s movies, can be, it wasn't all that good, but it was awesome. Fast forward to Michael Bay's remake in 2000, and the Mach 1 was replaced by a 1967 ...
We were headed on a road trip, because that's what you do when the summer draws to a close and something as gigantic as the Ford Flex rolls into your driveway. Destination: Brooklyn. Five miles into the journey, the Sony audio system belts out the Beastie Boys' "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," and the two sub-five-year-olds in tow agree. But we had an ace up ...
In 1985, when few models really stood out from the midsize pack, Ford created one of the most influential vehicles of the late 20th century: the Taurus. Radically styled and intelligently packaged, the Taurus won the hearts and minds of millions of car buyers, and for over a decade, it was a dominant force in the retail car market. Eventually, ...
There's a small group of enthusiasts who worship a car you just wouldn't expect: the original Ford Taurus SHO. And I'm one of them. After years of searching for an example in good shape, I bought my very first vintage SHO, a 1991 Ford Taurus SHO Plus model (we'll explain what the "Plus" means later) earlier this year. At the same time, somewhere in a ...
Recently, we had our third opportunity to drive the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Actually, the last go around was with a Mercury Milan Hybrid, but aside from a different nose and fanny, it is the same car. Even though we did a full review of the Milan, we asked Ford for another go around because of the difference in fuel efficiency compared to the first ...
Volvo has seen better days. Just a few short years ago, the Swedish automaker was the lone bright spot in Ford's European luxury operation, boasting impressive sales and actual profits. Fast-forward to 2009, and the situation couldn't be more different. Sales are downright depressing, revenues are worse, and the automaker has a "For Sale" sign on the ...
For more years than we care to remember, Lincoln has soldiered on without a competitive large car. Ford's luxury marque finally gave its high-end roster some love for the 2009 model year with the large-and-in-charge MKS. At 204 inches long, the MKS is a Reese's Cup shy of a Navigator, and at 4,305 pounds, our all-wheel drive tester is only 166-pounds ...
Twenty-two inch wheels. A chocolate bar shy of two feet, the 2009 Ford Edge Sport has alloys the size of manhole covers. Despite being made of aluminum, these wheels pull the eyes of onlookers magnetically. The big rollers are not everyone's cup of tea, but they're the defining feature of the Edge Sport – even the standard Sport model kicks it ...
For longer than we can remember, words like 'cheap', 'unattractive' and 'lousy' were used to describe America's domestic offerings in the compact car segment. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have never figured out how to make money with small cars, so the domestic trio seeming has rarely put forth the effort to create competitive compact products. And ...
What we have here is a rare breed. A mid-size sedan from a domestic automaker equipped with a manually actuated clutch. In fact, the 2010 Ford Fusion (and its rebadged brother, the Mercury Milan) are the last examples offered with Detroit Three nameplates. The Fusion's competition from Chrysler and General Motors are only available with automatic ...
We spent a few precious hours in the 2010 Ford Mustang GT toward the end of last year. More recently, we were able to get a Kona Blue model in the Autoblog Garage, and this time, we spent a full week exploring the car's metropolis manners in between long rounds in the saddle, throwing the car over hill and dale... and around the track. This Mustang ...
When Ford introduced the Ford Fusion back in 2005, the Blue Oval's midsize sedan was a pleasant surprise. Ford delivered vastly improved quality while also offering impressive driving dynamics, room for five adults and a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines. The Fusion put Ford back into play in the battle for midsize sedan supremacy, and in some ...
