I'm almost positive raising my kids in NYC will have an effect on them. I know it's changing me. But are kids just kids? Will they grow up to be whatever they want to be despite the location they were raised?
I was raised in Florida, on a beautiful lake with the occasional manatee and alligator in my backyard. We had a canoe, a hammock and a swimming pool for as long as I can remember. I loved it. I had no complaints, until my teenage years of course. It was then I started to realize I was a city kid. So I sought after the closest city I could find: Sarasota. I loved Burns Court Cinema with it's limited parking lot and foreign films. I adored the museums and dreamt about going to college here. I found any excuse to go. Even if it was by myself. Sarasota gave me a slice of the city life I was craving.
What about you? As an adult, are you living in a place much like the location you grew up? Or did you move away someplace totally different? How does it measure up? While I did move far away, there's a familiarity and connection I still have with living by water. I do miss that. Right now my view is the back of another building and some sky if you crank you neck hard enough. Oh my so called "sun drenched" apartment. I love it for so many other reasons.
I wonder where my kids will escape, what kind of places they will be drawn to live as they get older. As for me, I can't think of living anywhere else but NYC. Not after a summer like this. And it's not even over yet!

My childhood was partially in Paris, and partially in a San Francisco suburb. I do think the reason I love living in cities so much now is that I was born and reared in one. (On the other hand, my partner is a city boy who always wants to escape NYC).ReplyDelete
I so connect with this post. I often think how strange it is that my childhood and adulthood have been spent in completely opposite ways. I grew up, much like you, by the water in a small-ish Texas Gulf Coast town called Galveston. I moved to NYC at 22 and have been here for the past 12 years. I do find myself needing to escape the city for the familiarity of a slower pace ( who wouldn't really?), but like you, I can't imagine living anywhere but a city nowadays.ReplyDelete

I live in the 'burbs...in the same town I grew up in. After I was grown, my parents divorced and have both moved away, but I'm still here. The little subdivision I grew up in was "in the country" I suppose you could say. You couldn't go anywhere without driving-not to the grocery, not to the doctors office, not to a restaurant. Now, I live "in town" and about 3 blocks away is the bank and 2 grocerys stores. A little bit further walk is the library and the doctors office where I work. It's about a half a block to the elementary school and about 4 blocks to the Middle School. That's about as City as I get. We are about a 20 min drive to downtown Milwaukee, with all the big city life I can handle.ReplyDelete
I am having so much fun reading all your comments!!ReplyDelete
I grew up in a very small former coal-mining town in Pennsylvania, where both of my parents grew up. In my town, it was pretty rare, until recently, to move away. I went to college there, but I moved to Chicago a few years ago for grad school. Like you, I'm finding out that I'm a city person. I really can't imagine moving back there, though I'm so glad that I grew up in a quiet, sheltered place. My boyfriend is from the same town, and he also moved to Chicago. We often talk about what our lives would be like if we had grown up here. I definitely would have known more about the world earlier. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing.ReplyDelete
By the time I was 20 I had lived in Toronto, Miami (twice), a tiny village in Switzerland, Bern and Zurich in Switzerland and Paris - I now live in Ottawa which is a medium sized city with a suburb feel. At times I miss cosmopolitan cities like Paris, other times I REALLY crave the ocean we had in Miami...I know I won't live here forever, change is always something I crave - who knows where we'll end up ;)ReplyDelete
I don't have children yet, but will be moving to an area very similar to the place I was brought up..small, rural, friendly town (with no movie theater)...about 1 hour from a big city. As a kid, it was NYC. Now it will be DC.ReplyDelete
first your photos are so pretty (helps that your children are gorgeous)and i would wonder too how the city is shaping them. i imagine it's a lot to do with the parent though even more than the place. and what rich experiances they are living.ReplyDelete
i live and grew up in a small beach town on the coast of california. many years ago i moved up the coast to an even smaller beach town and here is where my heart is. i also raised a family here (i have 5) and one by one they left, mostly to a big city. well, one moved to hawaii (we had lived there too) and my baby moved to nyc a year ago (she's come home twice, to jump in the ocean!). it's amazing to me how they've all adapted to big city life. my oldest is now back home (next town over) and i'm pretty excited about that.
This is such a great topic, and one I think about all the time. Have you read Richard Florida's book "Who's Your City?" I'm reading it now, and its just so good and validates everything I have been feeling for the past few years. I grew up in a small town on Lake Michigan about an hour outside of Chicago. Not a suburb, just a little Indiana town. I liked it when I was a kid, but hated it as a teenager and thought it was so boring and didn't have many friends. So, I moved to Chicago for four years for college and loved it! I discovered I was a city person, that was the hole that was missing in my life! Then two years ago I moved to Florida and got married, and we have a young son. I dream about moving back to the city all the time. We are planning on it in a few years and I just can't imagine leaving it again.ReplyDelete
I secretly read your blog because it seems you are really thriving with your children in a major city. It gives me hope that we can leave Florida and raise our kids in downtown Chicago. I hope so!
I grew up about 5 miles from where I live now... so basically the same place...but my oldest dd lives in your city... I never thought I was a city girl..but I totally love NYC..When I told people I could live there they were shocked...so was I...I think there are enough green spaces for me in the city...and I could always go home to the lakes etc...anyway great post!ReplyDelete
please please please tell me where you got the dress!!!ReplyDelete
ps, love love love your blog! ;)ReplyDelete
I live in a quiet neighborhood and our previous neighbors who grew up in the city found the quiet to be unsettling! Your kids may be like that because it's all they know.ReplyDelete
I grew up in a small town that was conveniently located about 10 minutes from a big city. (Okay, the biggest city in Iowa, but nonetheless!)ReplyDelete
I feel like I had the best of both worlds - small town life, with lots of opportunities and events just a short drive away.
Now I'm kind of a city girl. I lived in NYC last summer for an internship. I loved it, but it was SO different from home. I think a larger Midwestern city might be for me. But I need to land a job!

I grew up in endless suburbia, but in an extremely wealthy area of the country on the east coast. For me, a large part of my teen years were filled with rich kids with too much money, nice cars, and parents who weren't around much. I didn't have a family like that, but I was definitely influenced by those students. I couldn't wait to get away.ReplyDelete
I escaped to Chicago, and have lived there for 8 years. I love the city, I love how diverse it is, and I especially love being a part of a normal environment. The wealth gap (while it exists everywhere) isn't as obvious as it was between the suburbs of Philadelphia and the city itself. I don't often go out to the 'burbs of Chicago, but I know there are other kids out there, disgusted by the excess of wealth and living outside what one needs.
For me, living small and consciously is an important part of being in the city.

Growing up as an Army brat has made me adaptable. I like to think I'm fully converted to being a city person though. Can't really imagine life anywhere else.ReplyDelete
I couldn't resist commenting simply so I could inquire about how on earth you got those photos to sparkle in such a beautiful way - ah, that skyline! That lighting!ReplyDelete
Would you be willing to share the camera settings or any other details you think would help someone with a decent SLR and a beginner's eye take a similar shot? The images in this post kept me daydreaming about your descriptions of city life far after I left your page this morning...
Sidenote: I live in Tampa, so am familiar with the excitement that Florida's cities can bring, like Sarasota did for you when you were young. It's nice to feel the rush of people and bustle while also having the lovely proximity to the Gulf, wide open spaces, and sugar white sand - but I dream of moving to New York one day! I'll be visiting my best friend in Manhattan next month and can't wait. Maybe I'll get to take some of my own pretty city skyline shots :)
Oh wow! I loved all these comments. Here's some of my thoughts:ReplyDelete
Wandering Summer: thanks! I shamelessly use the automode (non-flash) on my Canon t2i. Sometimes I switch to the "sports mode" because my kids run around so fast. I don't know how or why the pictures turn out the way that they do. haha I also don't know how to use photoshop. I use the basic editing tools from the free download: Picasa. Good luck!
Corinne: I hope you stay in NYC a long long time too.
Anon (on living small): Loved your comment. I have thought about it all day. As I start my professional life soon, I hope I don't lose sight of the things that matter most.
Gail: Good luck on the job hunt!!!
Jeannine: Interesting, we shall see.
Nikki: thanks! the dress is from the Gap. It's sold out now, even online. booooo
Beth: Yes, I agree--There are some great green spaces. I spent a few hours with my kids at Sheeps Meadow today. Stunning!
Shannon: Thanks for reading! I checked out your blog--it's delightful! I haven't read that book--I'll have to check it out. I love book suggestions!
Christina: I wonder about that too. On a side note, Chicago's been on my radar lately. I have to think of a reason to visit...it looks amazing.ReplyDelete
Lori Ann: I visited your blog too. The beach town you live in? Amazing. I completely understand that's where your heart is. I'm glad one of your kids moved back. My daughter likes to look up into apartments, point out the one she'll live in, and picks the one next to it for me. ha.
Rebecca: Sounds like a good plan :)
Giulia: I too crave change.
Love this post, Sharon! I loved my small town upbringing but always felt at home in big cities. So interesting to see where life takes you!ReplyDelete

I grew up in a city in Northern England,dirt,coal,mines,litter.... very very grim!All the negatives of a city without the wonderful museums,parks etc. So at 25 I decided to sell everything I owned to make a better life for myself somewhere else....no one ever went to New Zealand and hated it right?So I booked a one way ticket....3 years later I am now married (to a british guy) and have two beautiful boys and live here...http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=queenstown&hl=en&rlz=1T4ACGW_en___NZ430&prmd=ivnsm&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=4w9WTpyXHsjRiALSxdXSCg&ved=0CG0QsAQ&biw=1600&bih=670 its tiny and it often drives me crazy reading about all the very cool things you can visit and take you children to in the city. However i love that I have never locked my car and don't own a key for my house and all children in school have mondays off for ski lessons for 1/3 of the year!!!No where seems perfect but I think you just make the best of where you are :)ReplyDelete
Hey lady.. although I grew up primarily in NJ, I spent some time in Bar Harbor Maine and then Philly and now I am in Brooklyn! BUT- my Aunt lives in Sarasota and I had my heart set on Ringling as well! When I was about 16 I met my 'first love' while on vacation down there.. he was about to enter his first year at Ringling and brought me to his orientation. It was amazing.. I still regret not pursuing a job in the arts. Instead, after being unemployed for a few months and funds falling short, I got a job as an unpaid intern at a branding firm in manhattan. Have you thought about applying for any intern positions? Good luck! I enjoy your blog :)ReplyDelete

Oh my stars. I'm such a city girl. I'll sometimes drive 4 hours to our nearest {and only} "cities" {Santa Fe and Albuquerque.} Alas, my husband is a woodsman, a mountain man. I think he'd live like a recluse if he could...ReplyDelete
I just came across your blog, and it's so lovely! These shots are so beautiful! My husband and I just moved to right over the Brooklyn Bridge, and it's encouraging feeling your passion for this place in your words. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Despite the lack of room, I find NYC to be one of the BEST places to raise your children. What other place encourages individuality than New York City? I was born in Nyc, raised in Winter Haven, Florida and recently moved back. I knew I was missing something. . . Couldn't be happier. Your blog is AMAZING by the way. -NathalieReplyDelete
I have enjoyed reading your post. It is well written. It looks like you spend a large amount of time and effort on your blog. I appreciate your effort. Please check out my site.ReplyDelete

I learned something new today!
I do feel that a day is better if I learn something new rather than have a belief confirmed. Maybe I shouldn't say confirmed. Maybe I mean reinforced.
Anyway, I love Charles Darwin. But somehow, in all the stories I've listened to about him, I missed the bit about this book–it's got Darwin and photography. Two favorite things.
Brain Pickings mentions the power of combinational creativity.
I combine my art and my writing. I want to make an animated film. I want to study brain science. So many things.
Too many of my students sit at their desks as if they aren't interested in anything. Maybe they're just not interested in anything I teach. They'll even say they're not creative, and then do everything in their power to prove it.
Some days I get tired of trying to engage them. Well, a couple of students spark and contribute to life in the classroom–but they end of dominating the classroom. That's not good either. But in classes where the students stare at me with that look, that look of our-teacher-is-weird…no, wait. I don't get that look anymore. These days they just get out their phones and gaze into that fascinating, responsive screen.
Maybe if I were flat and shiny.
In what ways does your creativity combine?
And what did you learn today?

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Born Shaffer Smith in Camden, Arkansas and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Ne-Yo broke into the music industry as a songwriter, though he had a false start with a short-lived group called Envy. Prior to exiting his teenage years, he penned material for Youngstown. Shortly thereafter, he co-wrote "That Girl" for Marques Houston and "I'm Sorry" for Christina Milian; the former composition had been intended for Smith's own debut album, which was recorded for Columbia but never released. In late 2004, he became known throughout the industry as the co-writer of Mario's "Let Me Love You," one of the most-played songs on urban radio stations across the U.S. Ne-Yo subsequently signed a solo deal with Def Jam. In My Own Words came out in February 2006 and reached the top of the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop album charts, supported by the number one hit "So Sick" -- one of his many collaborations with Norwegian production duo Stargate. During the same year, he appeared on Remy Ma's There's Something About Remy and Ghostface Killah's Fishscale, and he had a hand in writing a pair of Top Ten hits: Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna's "Unfaithful." Because of You, his second album, followed in May 2007. It went to number one on the Billboard 200 and Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts as well, with its upbeat title track topping out at number two on the Hot 100.
After another series of songwriting triumphs, including Rihanna's "Take a Bow" and Jennifer Hudson's "Spotlight," Ne-Yo released his third album, Year of the Gentleman, in September 2008. Propelled by the hits "Closer," the Grammy-winning "Miss Independent," and "Mad," the set eventually went platinum, which made Ne-Yo three for three in that regard. Ne-Yo then went relatively quiet for a brief period but returned in 2010 with Libra Scale, an album inspired by science fiction and comic books, as well as Stevie Wonder's and Michael Jackson's most ambitious recordings. It debuted in the Top 10 but didn't even come close to attaining gold status. He maintained his mainstream presence as a featured artist on Pitbull's "Give Me Everything" and Young Jeezy's "Leave You Alone," among a handful of minor hits.
In November 2012, after he signed to Motown and was named the label's Senior Vice President of A&R, he released R.E.D. ("Realizing Every Dream"). The album found him continuing to embrace dance-pop while maintaining his connection to R&B. While it debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, it was his slowest selling album to that point. The singer spent much of 2013 collaborating with other artists, including Akon, David Guetta, Cher Lloyd, and Celine Dion. The build-up to Non-Fiction, Ne-Yo's sixth studio album, started during the first half of 2014 with the release of "Money Can't Buy," a single featuring Jeezy that failed to crack the Top 40 of the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Additional collaborative singles with Juicy J ("She Knows") and Pitbull ("Time of Our Lives") fared better commercially. The parent album arrived in January 2015. ~ Andy Kellman

This was all done in my own house on the same computer and my own router in the house.
This tutorial is for educational purposes only I am not responsible for what you do with this information.
After all we don't learn to hack, we hack to learn.
Now what we are going to be doing is deauthentication all connected computer from an access point. Now I know what your thinking whats the big deal. Well what happens to people once they get disconnected they refresh the network list right. Right so when they are going to refresh the list we are going to flood the air with fake access points and when I mean flood we really flood the air.

With the change in the sea duck limit down there I was just wondering if any of you guys hunt there?
Seems like a crazy drop in limits. Is there really that much pressure? The proposal when put in did not have any data at all. Just seems like it is unsupported by data for such a huge jump. Any thoughts?

In an effort to be at least partially responsible (something I'm not very good at), I sent out the following notice to my neighbors Sunday.
"Dear Neighbors, I got a cannon for Christmas. I promise not to shoot it off before 5 a.m. or after 11 p.m. on weekdays. Robert."
Hopefully this will keep the neighbors from calling the cops, including the neighbors who are cops. We'll see.
My wife suggested/demanded that I send out the neighborhood advisory. She didn't know I was getting a cannon for Christmas until I took delivery on it last week. When I brought it home, she freaked.
Following a long discussion during which I mostly stood in a corner and kept my mouth shut she laid down some serious gun control measures.
Even though the cannon will fit through the kitchen door, I may not clean it in her house. Shooting the gun from the garage is expressly forbidden. So is shooting it within three miles of an inhabitable structure.
Under no circumstances will I show the grandkids how to load the cannon. No animals may be harmed deliberately or otherwise during the firing of the cannon. Finally, if either Sonny or I end up in jail, we are not to call her or her as-yet-to-be-determined attorney.
There's more (a lot), but you get the idea. I swear, it's like being married to a federal agency.
I have no idea what the big deal is. It's not like I bought an assault weapon, a machine-gun, heat-seeking missile or even a high-capacity handgun.
We're talking a 37 millimeter smoothbore howitzer of fine craftsmanship. It fires one shot at a time, takes upwards of five minutes to reload and is no more accurate than congressional thought.
It would be impossible to hijack an aircraft, shoot a president, hold up a convenience store, or lay siege to a public building with this gun. Hell, you can't even conceal the thing.
My new cannon is loud, highly visible and uses black powder, a propellant so malodorous that it's detectable from a distance of 50 miles by a police search squad.
I'm not a criminal. I'm immature. My passion for cannons (catapults, trebuchets, slingshots, rockets, etc.) is entirely fun-based. Sonny and I are not interested in boring stuff like science, engineering, mathematics or revolution.
We only want to know if an orange juice can filled with cement will go clear through a 1965 Plymouth, or whether a cow's head can be hurled from one side of Desolation Canyon to the other intact.
So do you. If I tried to launch a household water heater filled with marbles from my backyard to the state Capitol, don't tell me that you wouldn't want to watch.
Is my new cannon illegal? Probably. OK, of course it is. But so what? Just about every fun thing is illegal or otherwise severely restricted by the forces of darkness.
Conversely, if something isn't fun it's completely permissible and even encouraged. This includes school, broccoli, business meetings, elections, family reunions, sermons and infomercials.
These things can be far more dangerous and costly in the wrong hands than a homemade cannon. But according to my wife, I'm an irresponsible and undisciplined outlaw.
Well, yeah. That's what makes it fun.

Learning leadership skills and creating comradery among friends, nine University of St. Thomas student leaders attended the Institute of Management Accountant's 13th Annual Student Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas. About 500 students attended the conference from more than 90 universities and 34 states.
Students learned about practical, timely topics such as international financial reporting standards, ethics and the value of the certified management accountant certification. They also gained valuable leadership and career-building skills.
A recent graduate of the Master of Science in Accounting program at UST, Anita Sun said her favorite part of the conference was the information sessions.
"We all had very interesting topics, which was very helpful to me in seeking job opportunities and preparing for my certified public accountant exam," Sun said. "Also, we made many new friends and exchanged information to get news from others."
Bryant Ambelang, CEO and president of NatureSweet Tomatoes, delivered an inspiring talk titled "Being the Groundbreaker." Also making keynote addresses were Mike Eklund, vice president of finance for Dell, Inc., who spoke about "PC Nation: Leading the Charge," and Phil Willingham, district president of professional staffing services at Robert Half International, offered insights about "Business Etiquette: The New Rules in a Digital Age." Carol Sullivan, visiting professor in the Cameron School of Business, said the experience was filled with both learning and fun.
"The opportunity to attend the IMA Student Leadership Conference enhances these campus leaders' education by giving them great opportunities to meet leaders in the corporate community, learn from their successes and even interview for jobs," Sullivan said. "It also gave the students a chance to strengthen their collegial relationships by experiencing a road trip to San Antonio together in the UST van."
Sun, who has lived in Houston for a year and a half and is originally from Shanghai, China, was president of the Graduate Association for Accounting Professionals. She was recently offered an internship at MFR - Doeren Mayhew, one of the top 15 public accounting firms in Houston. The three-month internship is expected to lead to a full-time job offer in April 2013.

Katie & Joe
April 27
Dardanelle, Arkansas
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Let me start off with I'm from Arkansas, the "Natural State." We have abundant trees and wildlife everywhere you look. The barn for me really encompassed the love I have for my state and natural surroundings. To get to the barn you take the "backroads" through beautiful wildflower pastures that have scattered trees that have stood the passage of time. You then travel down a dirt road with almost a perfect tunnel of blooming and green trees. You are greeted with a rustic and large barn, even though they constructed this barn about a year ago, it holds such an aged grandeur, it really makes you feel something special. A connection to something you saw a long time ago, a place you always wanted to visit. The area it is surrounded by has skillfully constructed stone garden beds with all colors and shapes of flowers. It also has a bonfire area and huge flatbed swing. All of these things made me feel comfortable and at home. They made me feel proud that I could live in such a place full of beauty. The Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch is a place where I believe many couples could find a serene but lively venue to create their perfect wedding memories.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. Altar
2. Cake
3. Koozies
3. Give us the one moment from your wedding that you can't stop thinking about.
All day long it was supposed to rain on my wedding. The sky was gray and the sun was hidden. I was terrified that this would be the death of my dream outdoor wedding. Of course, the barn had planned an inside move if needed, but I was still nervous. The rain held off and when it finally started to drizzle, while Joe and I were exchanging our vows under the arbor, the rain sprinkled in a perfect circle around us. It was the trees shaking off the collected drops in such a manner it looked planned. After the trees cleared their branches, the sun jumped out from a cloud and shined through these trees right on to us. It was seriously like something out of a movie. Although we dated for six years prior to our wedding, this made me feel like this was proof that rain or shine we were meant to be together.

Learn about the Cox PIN including its purpose, the security requirements, and change notification.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires telephone companies to take additional steps to protect the privacy of their customers' account information. The FCC's order is in response to the increased use of "pretexting," which is the act of posing as a customer or other authorized person to obtain telephone records or other sensitive account information.
Cox PIN Use

- Access telephone calling records
- Make changes to the billing address
- Make changes to authorized account users
If you are not asking about the information listed above, you can still use the last four digits of the account holder's Social Security Number (SSN4).
The Cox PIN is printed every month on page 1 of your Cox bill.
Cox PIN Security Standards
The following are the requirements for the Cox PIN.
- Must consist of four numbers
- Cannot use repeating numbers, such as 3333 or 8888
- Cannot use 1234
Note: A Cox PIN should not use the SSN4 or other numbers that could identify you, such as your birthday or number from your street address.
Exception: If you are a video or data customer and use SSN4 as your Cox PIN, your PIN does not change, unless it uses repeating numbers or is the number sequence 1234.
Change Notifications
Anytime your PIN or other customer sensitive information is changed, Cox notifies you.
Note: Other PINs, such as the Parental Control, Purchase, and Voice Mail PINs are not affected.

Discussion in 'January 2007' started by roscoe36, Jan 22, 2007.
Agreed. It is a bad sign indeed.....
Slippy-Cap Gone are the days when the Pistons could out execute a team down the stretch. From maybe 3 minutes to the end of the half thru the 3rd quarter, the pistons offense faltered while Washington Hibachi'd their way to a 9 pt lead. Billups transformed from flat footed facilitator to dagger dealing assassin. Both teams came alive at the end with an exciting shootout but crummy rebounding bit the team in the ass. Webber is like WD-40 on our rusty offensive gears. A little too turnover prone tonight but overall made watching the early part of the game pretty fun with good ball movement. I felt like Sheed fed off of that and abused AJ in the post in the 1st. We got to a good looking start. CB didn't have very many assists but managed 9 boards. The box score says the pistons rebounded well but it seemed like the big ones always ended up in the Wiz's hands. Dyess was hot and his jumper looked very good. Delfino was great on D and hit his shots. Between him and Tay, they neutralized Caron Butler. Lindsey was brutal. Our fast breaking was disheartening. Usually fast breaks demoralize the other team but its that negative effect. Rip was his usual bad-ass self but we can't have him carry us ALL GAME LONG. Boy we looked slow out there. At the end of the game we call a time out. coming out of that we do the usual high pick and roll to sheed for a three...brick. Man. Did we HAVE to waste that time drawing that up? I could have gotten to winter X games that much sooner. the Lameness of that play is off the chart. I was thinking we'd see the Minny-esque heroics but The Pistons took care of that quite soundly. I feel like I'm rooting for a first round middling team.
First half impressions.... Webber and Sheed started off very well. Early on, the big question was if the Pistons would control tempo or get caught up in the Wizards style. They got caught up in the Wizards game. Antawn Jamison was great against Sheed, putting up 18 points in the first half. Antonio McDyess had a superb 2nd quarter, scoring 11 points. Going into the half, the Pistons were up 48-46. But no Jmax or Dale Davis left Detroit without a hold on this game.
Re: I don't understand.... How do we know that Flip called that play? For all we know Sheed could have said WTF, and hoisted the 3!!!!!!!!
Damn that last shot should have been Chauncey. He was cooking in the fourth quarter, 3-3 from beyond the arc. I hope Detroit wins in Washington on Tuesday and get their revenge. Detroit has fallen to number 2 in the east now...
Re: I don't understand.... It's one game and we missed some free throws that bit us in the butt. The last play was bad, but if it went down, we would all be singing a different tune. I'm particularly cheesed with Chauncey who needs to campaign to run an end of game play for Rip. I'm also a little disappointed we put in CWebb and didn't involve him.
Re: I don't understand.... It'll be easy to know, next game Flip will drop Sheed out of starting lineup if he didn't call the play. Just kidding, cool.
Can someone who heard or saw the post game conference tell me if that 3 attempt by Sheed was a designed play? I don't recall Sheed ever hitting a game winning shot wearing #36 in a Piston uni, so I just want to know who's bright idea was that? 15 seconds, we had plenty of time to find somebody open for a short jumper or a driving layup attempt. If this was Flip's idea, then yes indeed he needs to be shipped back to Gopher land. The personnel on this team is to good to have it screwed up by Flips rotations and inconsistent time outs. He played the starters for nine minutes in the 3rd before making a substitution. By that time the Wiz had gone up 9 and had enough in the bank to eventually win out despite our comeback.
f you Flip. I'm freakin' serious. If you don't know how to manage one of the best rosters in the east (maybe the best) and hand minutes to every decent player on the roster (that includes JMax, Davis, AJ and even FlipM) than you don't deserve to be the headcoach of the Detroit PISTONS. I know I'm emotional but I don't care. I can't stand his "play the starters as much as possible and avoid finding rotations that can get it done and that don't include the starting unit" any more. I'm tired about a coach that says X and acts Y. I'm not angry about the loss. I don't care. I'm angry that FlipS refuses to play the gems this team has. Angry that he's certainly unable to play anyone elese then the starting 5. Angry that he continues making the same failures since he became coach. Angry that he refuses to learn. Angry that he keeps being too nice to his beloved guys (CB, RIP, Sheed especially) Put me on that bash- Flip bandwagon. If that post is too emotional, forgive me please. I'm just tired of complaining about the same things since the season started.
Here in many of the men's room, when we go to the stool we often see posters like " One step forward, puleeeeeeeeeeeaze man !! ".
My wife came home after the loss. I told her that we were down 1 point with 15 seconds and to guess what happened. She replied, "They shot a three and had Sheed take it?" 3rd time this year that has happened. Sheed had success in the post. Rip just hit a nice touchy jumper. Chauncey got fouled twice in a row driving to the hoop and was on fire from 3-point land. Having Sheed shoot the 3 was the last thing we should have done. That is just stupid. I don't care if he hits it. Flip's fault for calling the play. Chauncey's fault for facilitating it. Sheed's fault for pulling the trigger.
I was only able to watch from the last 4 minutes of the 3rd Q on, but what I did see, I wasn't very impressed with. Here are a few of my thoughts. last 4 minutes of the 3rd Q - the team can't get anything to drop - including FTs - Haywood made Sheed look BAD on his up and under slam. Pathetic effort on that one. It looked like he was expecting Ben to come back and bail him out - poor executing on a 3-on-1 break - no inside game whatsoever - no hustle/late help on D allows easy buckets for the Wiz and an offensive rebound and buzzer beater to end the 3rd 4th Q - nice steal by Dice early in the Q - the lack of hustle on D hurts them again with a WAY too easy uncontested layup - it looks like the entire TEAM is waiting for Ben to come back and bail them out - another botched 3-on-1 - Delfino hit back to back long jumpers (both from the same spot), the 2nd of which forced a Wiz timeout - Rip looks out of control and forces a 1 on 3, comes down awkwardly and is slow to get up after the play - more costly missed FTs - poor positioning/not boxing out on D results in yet another O rebound plus an and 1 - whats wrong with this picture: our SF is consistenly backing his man down, attacking the basket while our PF/C is consistently standing behind the 3pt line? - too many cheap fouls on D result in WAY too many and 1s - most of our offense has been started by Tay backing down his man and then kicking it out - Nice to see JMax in the game on D for Webber in the final minute - Wow, I don't know what the play was for the final possession, but I do know that the execution was horrible. Sheed passed up a fairly open 3 (considering they needed a 3 to tie and it was the last play), Tay mishandles it, then Sheed is forced to take a much more difficult shot than the original one he passed up.
I've got to think that the play wasn't drawn up that way, only because Sheed passed up an open look when he first got the ball and only ended up shooting it out of desperation at the end. I might be wrong though. Either way, it was a bad, bad play.
Pardon me for disturbuting : It's Serena, mine mine mime . . . just 63 minutes.
I'm not concerned with the last play when we actually needed a three. I can't believe that we actually think we need a 3 when we are down 1. Just don't give the ball to Sheed at the end if you don't want him to shoot it... cause you know it's going up. What happened to the bball IQ I've heard so much about. And if you look at the replay, you can see Webber trying to call a timeout when Sheed's shot was in the air. If you look at the box score, it was a very strange night. Chauncey led the team in rebounding, but they all had about the same number. Every starter had 4 or 5 assists. Webber seems to be causing ball movement. And on a positive note, I thought Dyess was playing some aggressive interior bball.
Chauncey was wide open in the corner, too. D collapsed on Sheed. Not a good finish after a decent offensive output in the 4th Q. And what's with Jamison going off like that? Throw some body on the guy (Maxiell).
Cant remember the last time i watched a pistons game live so this was a treat for me. I headed down to the nearest sports club to catch the action but too bad for me the audio wasnt working. The thing that stood out for me was jameson on fire... the whole game. Like many have posted why couldnt they get someone on him so he couldnt ride the hot hand? Rebounding was a positive, also was rip getting free for open looks. Cbill seemed to only get in the game after the first half which was dissapointing cause we could have used his points and assists. Dreadful dry spell in the 3rd which cost us the game. Cant expect us to rally like we did and pull out a victory if we dig ourselves a hole like that. Luckily redemption is not far away. Bring it on. As a matter of fact bring on DD and let Cwebb rest a little more.
C'mon you had to see this coming. We couldn't get anything going on offense, we then go to this play that gets Tay a post up with options. This play works 8 times in a row. Now the team starts putting points on the board. Problem.......All our points came from long range jumpers The epitome of fools gold for this team. You had to know that one missed trey would yield a loss. Here's why we lost, Wash is a team that with the personnel to make plays, we are a team with the personnel to EXECUTE plays. We don't have Gilbert Arenas on our team, or a T-Mac, Kobe etc etc.....This team needs to execute, share the ball, move the ball weakside and make the extra pass. Flips system puts too much pressure on one indvidual to make a play (which none of our guys are good enough to do) instead of a team excuting plays and making the defense cover all five guys across the whole court. I'll be sooooooo happy when we come down court 3 times in a row and the ball moves from one side of the court to the other, the ball touches at least 4 players and we make the extra pass that leads to points in the PAINT!!!!!
On a lighter note, Eli Zaret was trying to pimp the postgame sponsor (Casino Windsor) and at one point referred to the sponsor as Cas-een-er Wind-Sow and then during the postgame, called the Wizards, "the Washington Windsors". This is not the kind of publicity my hometown needs.
Separate names with a comma.

I'm almost loathe to share because this is what I would like to use if we have a girl in the future, but when I was asking about names a few months back and shared this, there were a few people that really liked it: Ashra Sabine. I think it's unique and I hope to use it one day soon!

@shvibziks, I'm awed by Archibald Charles Inigo. And I don't like the name Archibald! I've been warming a bit to it lately, especially since I think Archie is cute, but that combo is amazing. "Stunning" is probably a good verbalization of my reaction.
Other Berry names that have given me a similar reaction (given to real babies or just on lists):
Jarvis Christopher
Rosalind Illyria Beatrice
Hawthorne, nn Hawk
Barnabas Hugo
From my own list, I've felt particularly good about several combos:
Crispin Isaiah (I was trying to pick the "perfect" middle for Crispin, and when I thought of Isaiah, it was everything I wanted.)
Jonas Dov (I love the wordplay in this name. Jonas sounds like Jonah; it's even used as a Greek form of Jonah in the King James New Testament; but it isn't, it's a form of John. And Jonah means "dove." And Dov looks like "dove," but it means "bear.")
Ransom Horatio (it's hard to pick a good middle for Ransom!)
James Deliverance (The long, unusual virtue middle name really makes "plain" James shine.)
Una Marguerite (Can you tell I'm fonder of boys' names? But this is one girl combo that I feel is near perfection.)
Hugo Aragorn (This one's brand-new. I'm on a quest to find the perfect first name to use if I were so daring as to put Aragorn in the middle. Hugo has come the closest to stunning me.)"He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names."
Psalm 147:4
Still dreaming:
Tobias Rory Benjamin ~ Crispin Isaiah ~ Ransom Horatio ~ Lucius Olórin ~ James Deliverance
Una Marguerite/Oona Sylvestra ~ Jessamyn Agnes ~ Branwen Evangeline ~ Alice Emmanuelle ~ Christiana Linnet

Wow! It is awesome. An amazing tool developed by the students. Brilliant piece of work. We have the option of selecting the lighting conditions. As per our selection, we can determine various shutter and f-stop combinations. How will the pictures look when we print in dell 5110cn ? It is a big achievement for them and for the public. Recently I have met a team like this. They have made an amazing new product. I was not able to believe that it was the work of those small hands.

|To the original poster. Did you try pouting ? That used to work on me sometimes, but not all the time. As a last resort you could cry. That always worked on me, well, most of the time. I mean like really cry though, you know, you have to say you give up that you don't know what to do that you've tried everything and all that stuff, and cry into a pillow really loud.
We own a 22,000lb boat (plus water/fuel/people/stuff) and we'll be double reefed on the main and single reefed on the genny at 25kts. We'd rather be comfortable and slow than hard over and a bit faster. Actually, it depends on the time of day. In the morning, when we first leave, we don't want to be hard over. By the end of the day, we really don't care and just want our first drink
To answer the original poster's question, I think you were a bit overcautious by saying that you had to lower sails and get all hands on deck, but that's much better than undercautious (although a sailboat will handle better in almost all conditions with some mainsail up). On our boat, the kids wear life jackets when not below, but they can take them off below. For the grown ups, life jackets go on either when we put the first reef in or the seas are high enough (or confused enough). If the wind blows over 20 or in inclement weather, we usually string our jacklines out and clip in. When there's a lot of stuff going on (reefing, frequent tacks), if our kids don't want to be involved we have them go below. As others have mentioned, it's critical that you have a safe environment for them to hang out in. If it doesn't exist today, build it.
I think your skipper was a bit harsh on you, but it's a difference in experience. You're more nervous at higher winds whereas I'm assuming he has been in more and knows how the boat will act. On our old boat, I was great. On our new-to-us boat, I was nervous the first few times the wind blew over 20, and I'm still getting used to it as I learn what she will do and how long it will take for her to dig in.
Just persevere, and get more experience at the higher wind velocities. Put reefs in BEFORE 25kts of wind, learn how your traveler can reduce heel and weather helm, and learn how your boat will react to gusts.
|Pigslo speaks the truth.
Being on my third wife, I can tell you that I recognize when a post is not about sailing. One must always anounce the intent to come about.
Originally Posted by sailingdog View Post

In a couple of years, and a couple of avoided trips to the face-stitching clinic, your kid should have the experience, the strength and the co-ordination to avoid most falls and can simply follow your own broken-rib avoidance scheme.
My kid' (five going on six) has already done a header down the companionway, which is why I have given this a fair bit of thought. I am a big believer in swinging around the boat like an ape, figuring that standing upright with hands at one's sides is strictly a dockside maneuver.
I have a 5-year old daughter and we have the PFD above and no PFD below rule. When it comes to heeling aks her what her favorite thing about sailing is and she says the tipping over (heeling). I am very careful to call the tack before hand and during.
We have had no issues with this. As for rough weather i feel safer with her down below.
Hon, is that you?
Seriously, she would be safe below without a lifevest as long as she knew when the boat tacks she needs to be in a protected area.
Why not let her stay in the Vberth?
I was going to go the multihull argument route about no-heeling, but decided not to since you had already played that card... It's true though... trimarans or cats... not much heel...no real danger of being tossed across the cabin in heavy weather, and a much lower tendency to broach.
When we were kids - up until about 8 or 9 years old - we always wore lifejackets. We were good swimmers but the water is very cold. We whined, begged and tried to take them off but every time we did, the boat turned around and my father tied up for the day. No arguing, no discussion - sailing was over.
On the rare occasions that I have children aboard, same rule applies. As far as the down below versus in the cockpit issue goes - if the wind is up I'd sooner have the child up where I could see them with a lifeline firmly attached.
That said - sailing is not a democratic exercise and when you leave the dock the skipper's word is law. SO - you need to decide that you and the offspring are going sailing in winds up to say 15 knots or 20 or whatever your comfort level is. Just do it nicely, don't argue, don't be aggressive about it. Just let the other half know that you think it's better to stay home if you're not enjoying yourself. Things will probably change...
My wife and I have 3 kids - girls ages 13 and 9, and a son, who is 6. WE have been sailing for 5 years now, starting on a 22', then a 28', and now a 35'. When we are under way, if the kids are on deck they need to wear a PFD. If they are below they don't.
When the wind picks up and the boat heels, I will notify them before we change tacks (or gybe). My wife is great about heeling, and doesn't complain until we heel more than 20 degree. To be honest, I don't much like heeling more than 20 degrees either.
When the boat is heeling, the kids will sit on the high side if they are on deck, and on the lower settee (or cabin sole) if they are below. Moving around below can be difficult, and they have, on occassion, fallen down. Fortunately, they have not been hurt. Yes, they could probably be safer somewhere else, but you know what? They have also fallen off bicycles, skateboards, and scooters and gotten a few bumps and bruises doing that too.
Personally, I don't care if they stay on deck or go below in rough weather. When it's stessful for me (docking in difficult conditions, lower sail on a windy day, etc.) I ask them to stay in one place and to not speak to me for a while. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Good luck,

|A recent announcement signaled the coming release of WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1. This new release of the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance delivers enhancements to all phases of the lifecycle of virtualized WebSphere Application Server environments. Let's take a closer look at a few of these updates.
|First and foremost, WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1 delivers support for the PowerVM platform. You can now deploy patterns to create virtualized WebSphere Application Server environments running in a PowerVM environment on pSeries servers. Among other things, this is enabled by a new version of the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition. This new version of the virtual image contains an AIX operating system and has been specifically bundled to allow it to be activated on the PowerVM hypervisor. From a user standpoint, building, deploying, and maintaining WebSphere Application Server environments is done from the same console with the same look and feel regardless of the target platform. Check out this demo to see WebSphere CloudBurst and PowerVM in action.
|In addition to support for PowerVM environments, WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1 will also provide a trial edition of a DB2 virtual image. You can import this image into your WebSphere CloudBurst catalog and then use it to build and deploy DB2 environments. This allows you to, from the same centralized interface, deploy and integrate both your application and data environments in your private cloud. Check out this demo for more information on the new DB2 trial virtual image for WebSphere CloudBurst.
|One other cool feature I want to point out delivers an enhancement to the use of script packages in WebSphere CloudBurst. In this new version of the appliance, you have more control around when script packages you include in a pattern are executed. Previously, these were executed toward the end of pattern deployment once all the necessary WebSphere Application Server components had been started. While that is still the default behavior, you can also elect to have the script package invoked when the virtual system is deleted, or you can choose the invocation to be user-initiated meaning that you decide when and how many times your script runs. To check out a pretty handy use case for this feature, watch the demo here.
|These aren't the only new features and enhancements delivered in WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1. Stay tuned for more demonstrations and more words about these new features and when and why you would want to use them. In the meantime, if you have any questions be sure to stop by our forums.

I Thought He Was Into Me
Hey Lennie, I went on a first date with a guy and it was great. He was handsome, charming, picked up the tab, dropped me off, no creepy factor, and so on. We mentioned that we would try to meet again for lunch the next week, but I never heard from him. I called once and texted a few times, but never heard from him! I want to see him again. Should I contact him again or will I look desperate? -Sleepless In Los Angeles
Dear Sleepless,
It's like the movie 'He's Just Not That Into You'. I wish I could tell you otherwise. Perhaps the date didn't go as well as you thought, maybe he sensed some kind of deal breaker. Could be that he's just a flake after all, or he's playing the field. Anymore contact will just make you look and feel desperate and won't likely yield positive results. Time to move on, you deserve better!

John Harrigan: A partial thank-you list as Turkey Day draws nigh
JOHN HARRIGAN | November 23. 2013 8:17PM
I'd bet that if all of us who roam New Hampshire's hills and valleys for various outdoor pursuits were asked what item was sure to make our Top 10 Thankful List, it'd be open land.
This thought came to me again the other day when I set out from the barn door for a two-hour hunt near the end of the day. On that swing through half a dozen woods, pastures and fields owned by neighbors and townspeople and people from away, I'd see not even a hint of a "No Hunting" or "No Trespassing" sign. In fact, I'd be hard put to think of a "No" anything poster anywhere within a day's hunting distance from home.
New England in general - and New Hampshire in particular - have a strong tradition of open land, which means that if land is not specifically posted against it, there is implied permission for you to venture there. All too many of us, I think, take this great privilege and stubborn tradition for granted.
On a day around Thanksgiving when I was 14, I got my first deer, a 140-pound doe. Just as she always was when I brought home a stringer of fish for supper, my Mom was tickled to death to see it hanging in the barn.
Finally, at this time of year I try to say a mental thank-you for the thousands of volunteers and organizations that try to make sure no one is forgotten over the holidays. All over the state, church and civic groups are working together with social agencies and others in the know to put on Thanksgiving dinners for those who might otherwise go without, and in many communities, delivering dinners and other holiday treats and gifts to shut-ins all over town and countryside.
All year long, but especially during the holiday season, in towns and cities the length and breadth of the state, churches and town officials and service clubs meet periodically to exchange information and see what can be done to help needy individuals and families. What they accomplish out of the goodness of their hearts is nothing short of amazing---and, of course, heartwarming for all.

What are you used to shooting?????????
i am intresed in adding a .40 to my collection, i am searching to find the best gun to carry. any advice
What are you used to shooting?????????
Some questions. You mentioned its primary service will be as a carry gun. Have you narrowed the field to action types? Double action, single action, or DAO (Double Action Only)? What about size and round capacity? These features are quite important. Without knowing some, or all, of this information it's hard to make informed suggestions, but I'll throw out a few to get you started.
For the past five months, I have been going through a process of re-evaluation of my primary carry sidearm. I do this from time to time because your body changes, your mode of carry can change, and new gun designs enter the market. Since March 2007, I had been using a gen3 Glock 23 for both open and concealed carry. So last fall I started to weigh that gun against my gen3 Glock 19, my M&P 9mm Pro Series, my M&P 40, and my M&P 45 4" barrel. I went back and forth, comparing and competing these guns against each other under varying shooting conditions and scenarios and have found at this point, I shoot my M&P 9mm Pro best among this group. This week I will be pitting this gun and my M&P 40 against each other to see how they fair. How does this help you in your search?
It helps you by implying that you should keep an open mind as you examine and consider the various selections available to you in quality sidearms. Since you are looking for a .40S&W gun, here are just a few to get you started. Again, consider the factors I raised in the first paragraph before you take your final decision.
o Glock 23 or 27. I have both and prefer the 23 for carrying.
o M&P 40. Mine is the 4.25" barrel version and the feel is among the best you will find.
o Sig Sauer. I have never owned or shot a Sig but some trusted friends swear by them. They are quality guns.
o Kahr. If you go with a Kahr, get a steel framed version. I have an Elite '98 in .40 and will never let it go.
Some others are Springfield Armory, Beretta, Taurus, Ruger... best to attend a major gun show to help narrow your choices then visit a range where you can rent guns to try some out. Or if you have some friends who might have some of these guns, see if you can go shooting with them.
Good luck in your search.
The above two questions/comments are some of the best to conceder!!
Also: What feels best for your hands! What shoots best for you! (Not me or anyone else).
I am a Ruger fan first, then SIG. So, for a .40 I vote SR40 & 40c or SIG 239/229/226 platform.
I own four of the above five in .40S&W (along with 357SIG on my 239/226)
I did own a Glock 22 but I found that the others fit better in my hands.
Almost any modern gun made will last and work.... (Mostly the better name brands)
Go rent, borrow and try out as many different guns as you can.
Good Luck,
I have a Beretta 96FS Centurion.
It's a great gun. Eats anything you feed it.
I have 40's in Taurus, SiG Sauer, SiG-Mauser and S&W. Here's a link for my last qualification using a SiG SP2022. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/13767332@N04/6906559889/]
I find the S&W 40's (4006, 4043, etc.) to have great triggers. They are also stainless and can be carried just about anywhere and not worry too much about envirnoments. I carry SiG's (SP2022, SP2340, P229 and P226) most of the time - love them all. The SP models are relatively lower in price that the 'classic' SiG's - but very good polymer framed pistols - a fewer oz in weight. My favoriate overall 40 is the SiG Sauer
P229. It fits me and my carry reasons very well. If I am 'dressing up' - I will carry the Taurus 145 model. I've never had a single problem from the pistol, it is small for easy concealment and carrys 10+1. My 2 bits on your question.
kimber 1911
thank you all for your imput
Glock 23 or 27
Sig Sauer
Ruger P Series or SR40
Edit: Forgot the H&K P2000
+1 on the M&P 40. Full size. Also, I don't know for sure, but I think you can swap out a barrel and have .357sig in the same platform. I love .357sig
I have a 96 w/ inox slide, and a 96 inox....hint, hint.......
In a gun shop or at a gun show
Narrow it down to 3 or four guns that feel best to you and handles best for you.
Then beg / borrow / rent each gun and shoot them.
They all do actually shoot differently to different people..
After that you'll know which gun you want.

Pros - Good tip and clip options, nice case, deep bass
Cons - Overemphasized bass, lacking in midrange
These in-ear clip-style earphones are great for working out. They have decent sound, but like many consumer-oriented 'buds, over-emphasize the bass at the sake of the mids. Trebles are pretty good. I use these headphones out and about, and exercising as the clips are really handy for keeping on. However, since the clips are replaceable and removable, one can use them as regular IEMs as well.
The stock tips came small, medium, and large, and I didn't have too much trouble with them. However, I went ahead and popped on a pair of comply foam tips, and they both isolated and fit much better. The case that winds up the cord is super handy, as well.
If you're looking for an active pair of earbuds, and not looking to spend too much, these aren't a bad choice.
