Going Wild (Drssgchic)
new posts
It's entirely possible that going overboard on O-6 made your walking more difficult. There are days when I can tell a huge difference in my running just off of what I eat, not just energy, but smoothness of motion, overall ease.
Have you ever tried power naps during the day? I can't do it -- until I'm allowed to bring a small sofa into my cubicle here at work, there's no way I can get comfortable enough in this stupid chair to get even 10-15 minutes of Z's -- but some people seem to benefit from it.
BTW, I'd just like to clarify that I wasn't trying to pit the Ramones against Led Zep. Love 'em both, but they're apples and... trapezoids. But it's heartening to know so many of you whippersnappers like the Ramones.
Mud Flinger- Coming from the lush East, the water issues out here just flummox me. I mean, things like watering your plants in the winter. And watering your compost pile. So, really, it was raining $$! I'm already plotting ways to keep water on my land when I get it. Legally. (no rain barrels. WTF? Really?)
Canio6- We have yet to find out if I can hit the broad side of a barn. Given my eye-hand coordination with sports, I think you're safe. But I'll get back to you on that one. Or you can practice your sprints
I wasn't going to take the class, since I'm trying to focus on growing stuff now with the idea being that preserving/eating/using would come later. However, I have a friend who's going to be a mother who's birthday is coming up, so I figured I could pick up some information for making her things Don't worry, there will be a blog post
FW- When I'm flat-out non-functional and I have a full hour for lunch, I actually rack out in my car. The most comfortable thing, no, but close enough. I usually only get in about 30 minutes, but it's remarkable how much it can help with the rest of the day. A power nap at my desk, while possible for me, would probably be frowned upon by my supervisor. Particularly since on the campus I came from, there was a huge to-do over people taking naps in the break room.
Apples and trapezoids. I'm so stealing that.http://cattaillady.com/ My blog exploring the beginning stages of learning how to homestead. With the occasional rant.

I am under-appreciated and under-utilized everywhere and it's my own damn fault. I wish I was one of those people that could at least be honest about the skills I have. But no- I downplay them. Every fucking time. And then I'm taken at my word and underused.
I went to the barn and was given a horse that has some movement issues. Like, he almost fell down last week with a rider on his back. "Do some groundwork and tell me how he's moving." "I know English groundwork, not the natural horsemanship stuff." "It's the same." No, no it isn't. By English groundwork, I mean I can lunge a horse, ground-drive, long-line, trot in-hand. Giving of the shoulders and haunches on the ground is NOT something that we learn unless we're going to be a trainer and need to be able to teach a horse a concept to be used from the saddle. "You've got the right idea, but you need to assert yourself." "I can't assert myself because I'm not sure I'm right. If I'm not, pushing the issue will just confuse him" Because I already told you that I DON'T KNOW THIS. "Walk him out and tell me what you feel." Lady, if I'm leading him, I can't watch him which means that unless he's three-legged lame, I can't tell you shit. (When I did hear something funny, I turned to watch him and he didn't change his pace but one of the other women kinda-snapped "Turn around and don't look at him!" Fine- then YOU tell ME what you see, cause I got nuthin') BTW- I did "lunge" him on the end of the leadrope (which just makes my English-trained soul hurt every time) and they might be calling him "sore" and blaming it on untrimmed feet- but he ain't moving like he's sore. He's moving like there is something fucked up in his back which is affecting his control. But what do I know? Pity, too. He's sweet as anything and totally cool with all the goofy shit that the therapy horses have to put up with, but he's no good if he can't carry a rider.
I should have washed my hair last night. I didn't care enough to do so. One of the symptems of depression is a lack of caring about personal appearance. Pushing the timing of washing my hair started with trying to see if I could wash it less, but now it's a "meh, I don't have to" on a far too regular basis. I AM still showing up at work, which historically has been my "uh oh, this is bad" cue. But not bathing is new for me. This is not a good sign.http://cattaillady.com/ My blog exploring the beginning stages of learning how to homestead. With the occasional rant.

Okay, I understood about 3 words of that last post. Something about horses, looking without looking, and needing so smack one of the other women in the mouth. As for washing hair...yeah, get a high and tight...no more worries. Okay, maybe not the best advice ever....
For under appreciation, well, I know it ain't much but we appreciate the hell out of you over here in MDA land.
Aaw, thanks Canio! I do tend to do better in written formats than any other Particularly when there's some anonymity involved.
I knew it would be greek to most people. In short- lady, when I say I don't know how to do what you want, take 5 minutes and teach me so that I can do it. Oh, and don't ask for something that's impossible, if you please.
I have considered shaving my head, but between the regular trims to keep it up and the fact that I'd end up looking terribly butch, I'll just stick with my long hair that gets pulled back in a tight bun when it's not as clean as it could behttp://cattaillady.com/ My blog exploring the beginning stages of learning how to homestead.

Sorry to hear about you barn frustrations! This is supossed to be the fun part of your day Maybe this person is one to be avoided? If you're having issues with her, I'm sure others are too. Maybe find someone who "gets" her and get some tips from them to make it better.
As for the hair - meh, you're probably the only one to notice - people are wrapped up in their own crap. FWIW, I like showers/being clean - it makes me feel better no matter how crappy I feel.
Oh, and we are glad you're here!
I think the last barn I was a serious part of spoiled me. The owner was a friend who knew me and my skills, so I was allowed to do pretty much what I liked. I was even dubbed the "groundwork guru" because I'd take on almost any issue with almost any horse as long as my feet were on the ground. She, on the other hand, was that way as long as she was on their back. This one is new to me and they have about 300 volunteers to manage. The hardest part for me- and why I'm less assertive of my skills than I could be- is that they are of a decidedly Western mindset while my best training came from the only British Horse Society-rated school in the US. The BHS doesn't do Pat Parrelli, so neither do I. It's on the to-learn list, but I don't know it yet.
I do at least make an effort not to smell. That would be rude in a cubicle farm. Other than that, yeah, I'm sure they don't notice/care. My concern about it is mostly that it might be a symptom of a bigger issue. It's funny- I love baths and showers, but since dropping soap and shampoo, I no longer get that "omigod I'm so gross I can't live in my own skin!" feeling that I used to if I forwent bathing for a weekend. Of course, that also means that I don't get the "aahhhh I'm clean and pretty and shiny" feeling after bathing after said weekend
B-tea/cream, coffee/cream/CO/D
L- coffee/cream, squash/pork soup
I didn't put together my supps last night, so I don't have them to take today. However, the moodiness started yesterday when I was taking them, so I don't think that's the problem. I think it's just spring and I'm worn out so it's going to be up and down for a while.http://cattaillady.com/ My blog exploring the beginning stages of learning how to homestead.

Unofficial weigh-in: 223#. FFS. I wasn't THAT bad this weekend!
Ok, so I saw my vegetarian soon-to-be roommate putting canola oil away after making the peanut-sauce stir-fry we had for dinner. At least she asked about tofu instead of just making it that way? (Yes, I went home and had bacon) And the pulled pork from the BBQ place- since I was up in Denver on Saturday- is probably cooked in questionable oils. I hope it's just water weight from the O6s.
A lady at church returned my PB and Paleo Diet books to me when I was sitting with the vegetarian. They were in a bag, so I just said "diet books." Over dinner, I was telling her that I might have to reintroduce her to butter. "Maybe it would help your (my) diet to drop the butter." The butter isn't the problem. This was after telling me that the hands-down best way to lose weight is to add some nuts and seeds because they have good fats and protein to keep me satiated. Uuuh huh. I'm fat because I'm miserable and eating too much. Not because of the butter. Hmm- maybe butter is the problem. I need to eat more . . .
Friday was a good day at the barn! I'd been given my instructions on Thursday, so I got there and got to work right away. Then the girl that gives me my instructions wasn't around, so I was done with hardly any human interaction at all. It was delightful.
B- I really, really need to make food tonight. tea/cream/CO/D, coffee/creamhttp://cattaillady.com/ My blog exploring the beginning stages of learning how to homestead. With the occasional rant.

Why do you want to live with a vegetarian? Don't they smell funny? Unless you're planning on some sort of disaster where you would survive because you outran the veggie? Like a lion/tiger/bear revolution? Really though, don't they smell weird?If I just said LOL, I lied. Do or do not. There is no try.
A lion/tiger/bear revolution? Oh my.
I'm glad to hear your latest stable visit went well drssgchic. Lack of human interaction is a beautiful thing.

Bush agrees to court review of surveillance program
By John Diamond
WASHINGTON � President Bush has agreed to legislation that would permit a secret federal court to test the constitutionality of the administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program, according to a deal announced Thursday by the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The deal would allow the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the program, which is aimed at finding people suspected of links to terrorism, but that depends on the bill passing unchanged, said the committee chairman, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
The legislation would grant greater flexibility to the National Security Agency (NSA) to track terrorists and intercept purely foreign calls that pass through telephone call-switching stations in the USA.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Specter's legislation �could be very helpful� and would �continue to allow the president to gather up information to protect the country.�
At issue is what the administration calls the �Terrorist Surveillance Program,� which Bush began soon after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Under the program, the NSA has intercepted international phone calls and e-mails of people in the USA when one party is suspected of ties to al-Qaeda or a related terror group. This occurs without the court-approved warrants normally required in cases of domestic intelligence-gathering.
Specter's legislation would not change the warrantless feature of the surveillance.
The court, established by the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), could rule the program unconstitutional. That would force the White House to revise it and resubmit it for court approval, Specter said.
If the FISA court upheld the surveillance program, it would continue unchanged.
The program was disclosed in December by The New York Times and subsequently acknowledged by Bush. It sparked opposition from civil liberties groups, including the ACLU, and concern among some lawmakers, including Specter, that the president had overstepped his authority.
By agreeing to a court review, Specter said, Bush is in effect saying �that the president does not have a blank check.�
Among the provisions:
Bush would agree to submit the surveillance program voluntarily so as not to bind future presidents to a requirement that all intelligence programs pass similar muster.
The administration would have to show how the privacy of innocent Americans is protected and what steps the NSA takes to ensure that intercepted communications involve a terrorist or someone reasonably believed to be linked to a terrorist.
Foreign-to-foreign communications that pass through telephone call-switching centers inside the USA would not be subject to FISA's provisions.
The administration would be required to brief the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on any electronic surveillance programs in effect.
Under the bill, Gonzales would have the option of consolidating scores of legal challenges to the surveillance program into a single case and putting that before the FISA court for a decision.

Anna Nicole Smith: Cause of Death?
"Anna Nicole Smith Dead," read the headline that just made me gasp. I poked around several news stories to confirm that Anna Nicole Smith has died at the young age of 39.
Now I can't help but wonder what was the cause of death of Anna Nicole, the "blonde bombshell" whom no doubt will forever draw endless comparisons to another tragically famous blonde who lived her life "like a candle in the wind" -- Marilyn Monroe.
Edwina Johnson, Broward County Medical Examiner's Office chief investigator, has said that Anna Nicole's cause of death is under investigation and that an autopsy will be performed tomorrow.
I'll bet almost anything that Anna Nicole's autopsy report will reflect drugs in Anna Nicole's system as the cause of death.
I've been watching Anna Nicole on ET lately and she seemed dead already -- under the influence of some kind of potent painkillers. So sad.
But I'll always remember Anna Nicole like in this Guess ad, when she became famous to the world. It was one of Anna Nicole's Guess ads like this that made me take a second look as I was leaving my health club one day years ago.
Not just struck by Anna Nicole's beauty, I was happy that Guess saw fit to hire a model that wasn't rail thin. Anna Nicole had a kind of Jean Harlow or otherwordly beauty. Who could've known that Anna Nicole's story would end like this? Only God. I pray she's with Him now.

You know what's amazing? I had just read this and then popped on over to your blog to see what you had to say about it because I just knew you had something up...You're faster than a lot of the other news outlets....
But yes, I was stunned. First her 20 year old son, then she has a brand new baby, then she dies? How tragic. And with those paternity questions, I hope they do find out who is that kid's father because he deserves to have at least one parent.

I am glad to see your post about Anna, I was not a fan per se , but I was always astounded at her courage and the life she seemed to radiate -until recently. I felt so bad for her when she lost her son, and now this.
I do know she has been taken home, now she wont feel that pain any longer.
- Thursday, February 08, 2007 6:42:00 PM
You know Paula, I thought the exactly the same thing when I read the report--drugs. But the really sad thing is that she just had a child and now that child is without a mother. I wish people would remember to think about their children when they start abusing themselves with substances. Good reporting!!

Hello Paula,
It was indeed sad to hear of Anna's untimely death. I was shocked at the news because while I was having lunch a CNN report was playing on the overhead TV, with the sound turned down. So, I was not aware that they were reporting her death, only that she was in the news again. And as it goes with celebrity news, you tend not to pay attention after a while (at least I do anyway). When I got back to the office I saw the headline on Yahoo that she had died. It was shocking, especially since she was only 39.
Tragedies like this cause me to reflect on the brevity of life, and the reflection is even more potent when that life is not fully lived. It puts things into perspective.

It was truly sad, but after her son's tragic death, she was like a walking dead woman.
I never expected her to make it without that boy! how tragic that two lives were snuffed out so untimely, and both because of drugs.
When will people learn!

I am sickened and enraged how her son and then she can be killed for her money. Her beloved son, and heir to her millions, died in very suspicious circumstances in September. Howard K. Stern, her creepy jewish lawyer boyfriend, arranged his own marriage to Nicole two weeks later. In the middle of October Nicole's mother went on CNN to say she blamed Stern for her grandson's death and warned her daughter she might be next:
Anna reacted angrily:
I know how she is thinking there completely. I had a jewish friend who turned me against my family, the people who actually cared for me.
I saw this on the news. Poor white girl was surrounded by jews - lawyers, make up artists, porn barons, all the people she trusted. Hustled away and killed for her money. It was no more a sophisticated crime as that - killed for her money like a cheap street robbery. You can take the jew out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the jew. Stay away from the ghetto.

Yes, everyone, so so so so sad about Anna.
And my God, anonymous! You sound like Hitler reborn! Though the actions of Howard K. Stern do seem shady and will probably be very closely investigated now and after Anna's autopsy, let's attribute evil to the evil one, and not to his Jewish heritage. There is sin in the world and it doesn't have a color nor nationality. Might I suggest you pick up a copy of Night by Elie Wiesel to learn exactly what that kind of hatred has produced in the past so that we may never repeat it.

The Southern Regional High School boys basketball team didn't have much time to transition from football to basketball season.
Many of the Rams' standouts also played football for the Southern team that lost to Williamstown 43-20 in the South Jersey Group V final Dec. 7.
The Southern basketball team, including the football players, was in the gym the next day preparing for the season. Southern opened Dec. 14 with a 64-42 win over Toms River East.
The hasty transition isn't affecting the Rams. They are 7-2 heading into tonight's game against Shore Conference Class A South rival Toms River South (5-3).
Six of Southern's top 11 players played football. Southern coach Eric Fierro was a football assistant. The Rams take pride in their multi-sport athletes.
"We have the ability to help our school be successful in all three seasons," Fierro said. "I preach that as a multi-sport coach. I'm not going to be sitting out a season. I encourage guys to do the same thing. They're good athletes. They should find a sport to play each season."
One reason for Southern's fast start is the return of Anthony Speziale, a 6-foot-4 senior center, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. Speziale played tight end for the football team.
"He's been big leadership-wise," Fierro
said, "and anchoring the middle for us offensively and defensively. He was a huge question mark. He gives us size and rebounding."
Speziale's presence has taken some of the pressure off 6-6 Southern forward Mike Gesicki, who is also a football and volleyball standout. Gesicki, a junior, scored his 1,000th career point in Monday's 72-67 win over Brick Memorial. He is averaging 21.4 points.
"It's a maturing process for him," Fierro said. "The more he plays, the more comfortable he gets and the more mature he gets in his decisions. As he shares the ball more with his teammates, the better the opportunities are for him, and he's starting to understand that. We finally have guys around him who can score."
One of those players is sophomore swingman Jake Logue, a reliable 3-point shot who averages 9.9 points. Senior Zach Policastro, a 6-4, three-year starter, also provides size and leadership.
"Jake is getting better every night and more confident," Fierro said.
Southern's biggest win came Dec. 20, when it beat preseason A South favorite Toms River North 47-46. North went on 17-0 run to build a 14-point lead in the first quarter. South rallied behind Logue, who sank back-to-back 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to give the Rams the lead for good.
"We showed a lot of heart as a team," Fierro said.
Southern lost to A South rival Jackson Memorial 36-27 on Jan. 5. Southern, however, quickly rebounded from that defeat the next day (Jan. 6) with a 56-50 win over Long Branch as Gesicki scored 32 points.
In addition to Toms River South, Southern plays at perennial power St. Augustine Prep on Saturday at 1 p.m. St. Augustine is No. 5 in The Press Elite 11.
"We're excited to have an out-of-conference challenge," Fierro said.
"They play a lot of the South Jersey Group IV teams that we'll play (in the state tournament). It's kind of a measuring stick for us."
Free throws — Eight boys teams will qualify for the Cape-Atlantic League Tournament in February. As of today, only eight teams — Atlantic City (8-0); Holy Spirit (5-2), EHT (7-3), Middle Township (6-2), St. Augustine Prep (6-1), Hammonton (8-2), Sacred Heart (6-3) and Wildwood Catholic (8-1) — have better than .500 records.

Man sentenced to 12 years for breaking into video poker machines
Told suspicious ex that he got money from angels, according to court documents
Jonathan Menard - Sep 19, 2013
A 36-year-old Paradis man pled guilty to four counts of simple burglary after police say he broke into bars to steal money from video poker machines. According to court documents, when Steven A. Brumley was asked about the money by his ex-girlfriend, he said that it had been given to him by angels.
Brumley was sentenced to 12 years in prison and was placed on five years of probation after his guilty plea.He was identified after St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne posted surveillance video from one of the crime scenes. A picture from the video showed a man wearing a black hoodie with a black cloth over the lower portion of his face breaking into a video poker machine.
Shortly after authorities released the photo, they received a call implicating Brumley in the crime. According to court documents, Brumley's ex-girlfriend was able to identify him in the surveillance video because he was wearing a hoodie she bought for him before they broke up.
The woman told police she was already suspicious of Brumley because his mother had called and asked if she had given Brumley money. According to the ex-girflriend, Brumley's mother said her son had loads of money and she was wondering why someone would give a "drug abuser" that money.
When the ex questioned Brumley about the money, he allegedly told her it was delivered by angels.
Authorities would not release how much money Brumley made off with during the crimes, but he was charged with stealing at least $3,000.
Capt. Pat Yoes, a spokesman for the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office, said that Brumley broke into the businesses about two hours after they closed and jimmied open the video poker machines by using a crowbar.
"He targeted the poker machines as a quick way to make cash," he said.
Yoes said that Brumley fought back against police during his arrest last November and was sent to St. Charles Parish Hospital after sustaining injuries in the melee. At the hospital, Brumley broke a hospital bed and attempted to escape, but he was quickly tracked down by deputies.

Comment — Like myself, you surely wondered at once why this headline would be worth your interest. After all, given that salt production techniques are ages old and that Mayas reportedly were excellent mathematicians and astronomers, there's no reason they shouldn't produce salt.
Intrigued, I read the Reuters story and found Heather McKillop's explanation:
"These saltworks that we have found in the lagoon indicate the importance of non-state-controlled production in pre-industrial societies"
Why on earth would any pre-industrial society not have its share of non-state-controlled individual trade?

Bernie Sanders Supporters Launch "Brand New Congress" As The Next Chapter Of His Political Revolution
As of last month, Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and on the other side of the aisle, things are winding down in the Democratic race too. As we all know, superdelegates won't be casting their votes until the convention at the end of July, but the media has already declared former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton her party's presumptive nominee, and following a series of crushing primary losses and being overlooked by handfuls of game-changing progressive leaders handing their support to Clinton, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders seems ready to concede despite making clear his intent to hold out until the convention. Despite this disappointing outcome, his supporters have surprisingly and admirably managed to maintain their fire for reform and Sanders' political revolution through "Brand New Congress."
"Brand New Congress," a new campaign led by Sanders' famously passionate supporters, aims to sweepingly "replace Congress all at once (except those already on board) that whips up the same enthusiasm, volunteerism and money as Bernie's presidential campaign," according to its website. There's no denying the biggest obstacle to progress and the sort of democratic socialist reforms championed by Sanders — from universal healthcare to tuition-free public college — is a predominantly Republican Congress, ruled by the NRA and fossil fuel industry, that perceives even common-sense gun control measures as radical and climate change as an unconfirmed theory.
It's worth noting that the leaders of "Brand New Congress" are still pretty optimistic about Sanders' almost nonexistent chances at the nomination, at least on their website, which claims they're "busy working for Bernie until he's in the White House," and want a "brand new Congress" that will be receptive to Sanders' hypothetical policies as POTUS.
But "Brand New Congress" volunteers are ultimately considering the future of the political revolution ignited by Sanders, even if it doesn't contain a Sanders presidency. "We're proposing the campaign for a Brand New Congress as something to work on next. Only something as big and worthwhile as this can keep the revolution going," it claims.
This project is, indeed, not only "big and worthwhile," but also the only way to make Sanders' progressive platform a reality, even if/when he isn't president.
The political leaning of Congress is arguably just as important as that of the president, as they preside over what becomes law,while the executive branch's powers include vetos, executive action, recommending bills, appointing officials, and, of course, unilaterally declaring war. Alongside President Clinton, even the most distrusting, anti-Hillary Sanders supporters could rest easy with a progressive Congress stocked with members who share Sanders' values when it comes to honest campaign finance, disavowing lobbyists, and supporting economic reforms which better the lives of marginalized groups and the economy at large.
It would be a future to believe in, indeed, though whether or not this sweeping campaign will actually be met with success is to be discovered. However, by mobilizing millions and bringing attention to corruption among "establishment" politicians, from Clinton herself to Republicans owned by banks and the NRA, Sanders has helped create a climate in which "Brand New Congress" has the potential to be successful where it might not have had a chance before.
So, it looks like even if Sanders decided to concede tomorrow, as opposed to a month from now, rest assured the political revolution would push forward. There's still a rich future for those who feel the Bern to believe in, from the official Democratic party platform to be drafted at least in part by Sanders' amazing committee appointments (the founder and president of the Arab American Institute and Palestinian rights activist, the co-chair of the progressive caucus and one of two Muslims in Congress, vice chair of the Tulalip Tribes of Washington state and Native American rights activist, an environmentalist who's been writing about global warming long before it reached the mainstream, and civil rights activist Cornel West).
And, now there's "Brand New Congress," which I could definitely see Sanders enthusiastically getting behind as soon as he catches wind of it. He's left quite the legacy, from revolutionizing campaign fundraising to destigmatizing the concept of socialism and associating it with compassionate, common sense economic reforms. But, inspiring his supporters to campaign to uproot and replace the heart of the American political system is arguably his ultimate achievement.

Mass Readings: 1 Peter 1:10-16/Mark 10:28-31
I'm sure that over the years God has heard me offer Him a lot of variations of Peter's comment in today's Gospel: "We have given up everything to follow you." No, I never gave up everything but, yes — at times, it seemed to me — I did . . . something . . . for God. A small something, certainly, but still. Where was the payoff for me? Why wasn't I (immediately!) richly rewarded in one way or another "in this present age"? One hundred times over!
The answer is in the second half of the Gospel. Yes, countless blessings will come, but they'll come "with persecutions." When I limit my focus to heartaches and hardships, things we all face, I overlook how richly God has rewarded me. And how much He loves me: infinitely.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the countless blessings You give me every day.

Fatherhood has its rewards and costs, privileges and penance,
wins and losses. When the first child is born, a father is
stuck between the cigar-giving rock and the "don't like smelly
diaper" hard place. It starts with the drive home from the
hospital when a man that could remodel a bathroom was so nervous
that strapping in a baby's car seat seemed to take an hour. The
half-mile drive home was nerve wracking and the new car could not
seem to accelerate to over 25 mph.
Pulling safely into the driveway that day seemed like winning a
marathon. The unforgettable feeling of being physically and
emotionally drained that day has yet to escape me.
Being a first-time father is like God's own version of the
"Shock and Awe" bombing campaigns in Baghdad. Shock set in
quickly as I got out of the car and started to walk in to the house
only to hear "honey, aren't you forgetting something?" I
quickly searched for my keys, my wallet and my cell phone. All
were accounted for except for….the baby! Whoops. It was time
to scurry and mutter something brilliant like "just wanted to see
if you were paying attention, dear." Of course, helping my
labor-worn wife from the front seat was first. After all,
someone had to figure out how to get the baby carrier out of the
Once the baby's cockpit was released from the space-aged base,
trying to carry the baby in this thing without whacking everything,
including both of my knees and still look like a cool dude was
totally out of the question. The "Awe" part of a father's
"Shock and Awe" experience came the first time I held my daughter
in my arms at home that day. I was lost in staring into that sweet,
tiny face. How was I going to do this raising-a-child
That was more than 14 years and five children ago. Now here
is the update: I have been officially informed that I have
some annoying traits. Go figure! My sweet and lovable high
school daughter and my soon to be 11-year-old son have both
proclaimed today that I am annoying. It seems that imparting
fatherly wisdom these days is just so annoying! Sorry kids, dads
don't care about being annoying. We just care about our
kids. In this humble opinion, as long as kids notice that dads
care enough to lovingly annoy them by being a part of their lives,
then all that "Shock and Awe" was well worth it.

And additional reports keep pouring in: No photos or even stopping at unattended overlooks are allowed at some parks, including Mount Rushmore. And while those on the left accuse those on the right of using this as a way to criticize the President, those on the left are, hypocritically, using the situation to express their "disgust" for the Tea Party and others on the right. They're doing the exact same thing they're accusing others of. Also note that the offer by some states to operate some parks has been declined. Why? Also note the House has passed a funding bill for the NPS and parks and it was rejected by the Senate. So who's keeping the parks closed? That one issue, being so contentious, could be laid to rest if the upper House would allow. I think they like the drama.
Also, its been noted that the Skyline Drive has been closed for "safety reasons." Really? Then why is the road portion - all 469 miles - of the Blue Ridge Parkway (which meets the Skyline Drive) still open? Both are controlled by the National Park Service. As a matter of fact, I was on the BRP Friday and portions of it were being paved. And the BRP is just as "winding" a road as the Skyline Drive. Also, the BRP has "dangerous" overlooks which have to be maintained just like the ones shown in the link above for Mount Rushmore. What's really going on here?
Perhaps there are reasonable (and believable) explanations for this. But, again, the NPS is not sacred and is not above legitimate criticism. They are simply stewards. They are answerable to the people who make their positions and places of employment possible. Let's not forget that. Regardless, the NPS is losing the debate and the public sees many (not all) of these closings as petty and vindictive.
End of udpate.
This is a follow up to the previous post about the Federal government shutting down National parks, monuments, battlefields, etc. The current circumstances are, according to some, unprecedented. I mentioned Claude Moore Colonial Farm in the previous post. Here's more details about that living history farm from Fox Business:
Operators of Claude Moore Colonial Farm in Virginia, for example, say they were shocked when the National Park Service ordered their park be shut. That's because it's been 80% funded by a local non-profit for years, which agreed to take over 100% of the costs of the facility as of October 1. Still, the National Park Service spent taxpayer money to erect barricades around the park and evict everyone from the farm this week.So what makes this shutdown different?
"We do not know why CMCF was barricaded from public access or why NPS police escorted staff and volunteers off the property right before a fundraising event on Monday. The National Park Service does not pay CMCFs employees, for its operations, maintenance, events or programs," Claude Moore Colonial Farm Operations Manager Heather Bodin wrote in an email to FOX Business. "In our 32-year history of running the farm, through other government shutdowns, we have never had to close our doors before."
Again, these criticisms are coming from many different sources. Here's another one from the Las-Vegas Review Journal:
Blocking access to fee-collecting parks is one thing. Blocking access to free information is another. The Interior Department, which oversees the National Park Service, put in the work last week to render its website useless. This act alone reflects a profound disdain for the taxpaying public . . . If a federal worker can man a barricade, he can staff a fee collection booth. Red Rock Canyon and Lake Mead collect fees. At Red Rock Canyon, October is prime hiking and biking season, with perfect weather. Closing the canyon now is the equivalent of a retailer shutting its doors in December. The Bureau of Land Management is turning away business. Is the National Park Service or the BLM prepared to give all those who bought annual access passes a pro-rated refund? Of course not.Besides, the House of Representatives passed a bill to reopen and fully fund the parks, which is their constitutional prerogative. The Senate has rejected that option. So who's for closing the parks?
And one more question. These WWII Veterans practiced civil disobedience and broke through the barricades at the Iwo Jima memorial. Should they be arrested?

best but l, exciting. What more could you ask for than a well made feelgood film for a rainy day? Buy this film now! I really enjoyed this film and will definitely watch it again. I'm a huge Redford fan and his performance doesn't disappoint. The other actors are all great too. A good caper and worth a watch! Brilliant film, saw first many years ago and it just gets better with each viewing. Great acting and actors. Tension and humour in equal amounts. Great cast, slick production, humour and warmth, mild suspense, witty. Robert Redford, Dan Ackroyd and Ben Kingsley feature in an ensemble cast of movie standard 'band of misfits' roles, each with their own backstory.There are moments of high camp (the Eastern European academic's seduction scene) and a fair amount of silliness, and the film never strays into genuinely dark territory. I've been fond of this film since seeing it on TV a looooong time ago and class it as a good 'sick day' film for its effortless entertainment qualities. What a great movie. I could watch it all day. Redord, Poitier... all at their best. Ben Kingsley in great s Boston eathtaking, but it is noticeable - you are going to get hot feet on a summers day in both shoes, but the non-goretex one is best. The variants look very similar except that this one has grey around the ankle, whereas the goretex one has black in that area (and a little metal 'GoreTex' tag half way along the shoe).I note that the title is hiking 'boot'. Obviously, from the picture, it isn't a boot - it is a shoe - as it has no ankle support. If you are doing serious hiking you should get a proper boot with ankle support, but for day hiking in light/intermediate terrain, or just casual wear, this is a great shoe. I'd never heard of Merrells until I got these shoes on a recommendation. First I was impressed on my commutes to central London - amazed how easy the journey was because the shoe was so light and comfortable. These are now my shoes of choice, especially when out walking in the hills and by the river. Try them. For years I have been looking for hiking shoes that fit properly, shoes that are comfortable, shoes that are durable and shoes that are good value.I'd have paid ten times the price for s best router id - warm and comfy.Note:There is a small raised instep inside, but its soft and wields easily. However some people hate those bits.A good all round quality lightweight walking shoe. You wouldn't want to do the Pennines or any really heavyweight hiking - its obviously not intended at that level. Being waterproof, they are simple to clean under the tap and soon dry.However for normal countryside day leisure walks and romping through woods and pastures anew with the doggie - these are excellent.Should you buy them?YES I'd honestly not heard of this brand at all until just over a year ago. I was looking for some new shoes (I tend to go cheap on them, as with most things) and came acr no no hair removal d couldn't be beaten elsewhere. Would not hesitate to order another pair again and would highly recommend. Delivery was also impressive. Cheers Amazon! I am bang on a UK size 11 and so bought the UK size 11 of these shoes. They fit perfectly!The shoes themselves our so comfortable I doubt I'll buy a different shoe ever again :D I have purchased a Vans Unisex classic Slip-on last May. I have found it to be very comfortable and practical for the summer months. It is easy to wear and has a solid base and looks hard wearing. I also bought another pair for my grandson, who is also very satisfied with the product.The products were very well packed and delivery was e.
best banks t in no time., also great for wellingtons. . it does not take up but a small corner and is worth its weight in gold. It can take two pairs of shoes/ boots at a time. I only wish that they were available when my own children were young. Every house should have one to keep those small and big feet from going into damp shoes. Truly wonderful. Go on and get one.
The sole is too thin which is painful, and it also provides very little grip on rocks.
Nice deal good fit prompt delivery
These are not fit for use around a pool. I took two steps & slipped. Not much water around either. Otherwise good size & shape.
Like wearing slippers on holiday. Accurate sizing and fine for around resort or beach.
Absolutely brilliant. Have been looking in stores for this product for 2 years and kept being told it had been discontinued. Never thought I'd find it on the amazon website. Couldn't believe my luck and my posture is better than ever. The product does exactly as and makes you feel exactly as advertised. fantastic! Absolutely love it!
I wish all shoes felt like these. They are so comfortable and they seem to walk for you! The ryou can afford and look after them and they will look after you. These German guys at Miendl know what they are doing. Highly recommended.
I have been using this wax on my Altberg Boots, as I couldn't get hold of the recommended (for those boots)Altberg Leder Gris. I have to say that it works a charm, and it is at least as good, if not better than the leder gris. It seems to be a cross between a wax and a dubbin, and does a great job at waterproofing and conditioning leather. Just a small amount is needed, too much and you will pick up a lot of dirt and dust.
To be sure the postage is more than the product if you only buy 1 tin, but it is SO SO worth supra skytop 's early days and I've only been wearing the RDs around the house, but so far I like the look of them, the fit and the feel.As a woman with ski-sized feet, in my opinion anyway, these shoes are more feminine and flattering than Converse or Vans.Over the next few weeks I imagine I'll be ordering another pair of these.
Lovely trainers. TRUE TO SIZE. However, if you have narrow feet they will probably be too roomy in front and feel too large. I have wide feet so perfect :-) good quality and great price too
Really cute and comfy
Only purchased as it is recommended to help set up a REL subwoofer and it won't be played ag Babyliss Big Hair an return them and get replacements.
Good quality product, comfortable. Found a bit of plastic in the toe area that rubbed but it came away without any problems, now no burning feet on the beach or cut toes in the sea.
I haven't used it yet as we are yet to go to our holiday in a month time. It came in good time and it fits well. It's of good quality for the price.
Order arrived within 48 hours. A chds birthday present and he was delighted wirh them.
My grandson absolutely loved these!
My son is very pleased with these.
My son love it.
Good value
You get what you pay for. The amount of socks for the price is great and the size is OK for a size 13. The quality is not as great as hoped, terry towline material and leaves lots of fluff even after washing. More sports sock.
best kiteboarding gear . Highly recommended.
Like walking on air. I bought these for my work as I am on my feet for a 12 hour shift and these shoes are amazingIi would highly recommend them and they look good too
I bought these for my mother as she struggles to find comfortable shoes due to having osteoarthritis. My mum absolutely loves them and this will be her second pair. So comfortable with good support and they look very neat on. Mum also says she doesn't have half as many aches and pains in her joints since she's started wearing them. Think I'll treat myself to a pair too! x
I wore these for 2 weeks solid & loved them, noticed the left one was abit tight width wise, but thought they would stretch being fabric, but alas I had to stop wearing all together because I'd damage my foot. I could not wear them for 2 months. I put a bag in my left shoe filled with water & stuck in the freezer over 2 nights, once the shoe dryed out they are perfect.
I have been looking for white high tops like these for ages, but could never find any. I was pleased to find vans think they are going to last as long as his previous pairs have, but I guess that's how everything is made thesedays (not to last)...
Really comfortable shoe. On my second pair. However as with all Merrell shoes I have had, I have always had to go for the next shoe size up.
Only complaint is they look a little baggy on the collar around the instep. Although it makes for easy on/off lazy no unlacing slip-ons!
What can I say, these are my second pair of Merrel shoes, they are excellent quality, come with a spare nono pro reviews de by the St Louis Symphony but have always wished for a new CD recording. This one is conducted with appropriate vigor and luxuriates with contemporary full stereo sound quality. Other selections on the CD include some music Easdale wrote for other films. He shows glimmers of artistry here and there but nothing can top the Red Shoes Ballet. His creativity on the red shoes sound track is over-the-top. His style has elements of modernity coupled with romanticism. When the lead dancer first steps into her shoes and begins her signature dance, Easdale's musical theme carry's her with irresistible excitement to her inevitable doom. The orchestra plays with strength and precision so I am quite happy with this CD. Do not miss the Blu-Ray of the full movie where the sound track was directed by Sir Thomas Beecham.
I love working while listening to movie scores. We tend to view our lives as little scenes moving from vignette to vignette don't we? And being able to tie in emotionally, yet subconsciously to the music and our task at hand is quite easy to do with this delightful CD. I enjoy, and actually prefer reading historical non-fiction a www.somnomed.co.uk 've been looking for. They fit pretty well (I'm a half size) and are comfortable to walk in all day. The design is great as I have big feet and it camouflages that nicely , and loads of people commented on how good they looked. The slogan on the sole is a bonus when people mistake them for something else ,just do a high kick and show off your dogs!!
I'm a size five and they did come up a little large but I really love the colour and they don't look like boats or anything! Great value and loads of colours - but watch the sizing!
Normally I have trouble finding the right shoe size. I am a wide foot size 8. This shoe has a nice rounded tip rather than pointy so my feet have not been rubbed raw once. They are incredi.

The fourth test of whether or not Jose Quintana's vast array of 92 mph fastballs could make it through a major league lineup multiple times went as well as the other three.
Sure, he only had one strikeout.
Sure, he looked eminently hittable all night and depended on incredible defense from Orlando Hudson and multiple double plays to get out of the jams he created every inning.
And sure, he made an 0-2 mistake to Jose Bautista in the 6th that landed in Des Plaines.
But Quintana did his job. He recorded a quality start, and Gavin Floyd will listen with rapt attention if he wants to explain his "blind luck" strategy.
Quintana's only sin was being up against Toronto starter Brandon Morrow at the height of his powers. It wasn't a fair match-up, but it was a lot closer than the match-up of every Sox hitter save for Pierzynski vs. Morrow.
Blue Jays 4, White Sox 0
Key Performances
Brandon Morrow - CG, SHO, 2 H, 5 K, 2 BB - Dominant, and also somewhat emasculating. The White Sox offense was still hot going into this game, even without Konerko. They are no longer.
Jose Quintana - 6 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, BB, K, HR - Perfectly decent, no-frills strike-throwing. This should inspire several misguided calls for him to join the rotation.
A.J. Pierzynski - 2 for 3 - Not only was he the only Sox player to record a hit, but when Lillibridge pinch-ran for him in the 8th, he was immediately caught stealing.
Turning Point
With a runner on 1st and no outs in the 5th, Jays LF Rajai Davis hit into a tailor-made double play, but was safe thanks to a poor call at 1st base. He promptly stole second, and scored on a two-out single to put the Jays up 1-0.
Since the White Sox plan for victory largely relied upon the game going to the 12th still tied 0-0 (when Morrow would finally be pulled), this was really the nail in the coffin.
Things Would Be Different If...
Paul Konerko sat out his third-straight game after having a bone chip in his wrist moved around, so it can always be speculated that he would have hit three home runs off of Morrow and carried the team to victory.
Otherwise, the only conclusion to make is that Quintana squirted out of trouble thanks to an amazing defensive effort, and the Sox still weren't competitive.
Three losses in the last four games seems to mark the true end of the miraculous season-saving hot streak, but there's some consolation in that the next four games bring favorable pitching match-ups and National League offense to U.S. Cellular. And also Lucas Harrell.
The White Sox are still in 1st place, and are one game away from being done with the AL East menace for a while.
Team Record, 31-25, .5 games up

Latest Ghost Recon Wildlands Update Includes Co-Op Fixes
The latest title update for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands addresses some user interface issues for all platforms, but more importantly, fixes a couple of co-op issues. The key one being players spawning in random world locations during a mission. That one definitely annoyed me.
