That's great! It's true. I just wrote a chapter for my book questioning when I lost my brain and why I don't freak out over things anymore.
I have been feeling the same way today...and found an appropriate way to describe it. I think I need to post a sign on my front door that says "Second Law of Thermodynamics enforced strictly on these premises!"
Okay, now that I've identified myself as a geek (a chemical engineer to be exact), I am a mom of three...ages 2, 2 and 7 months
(twins and a baby). And this was the best definition I could come up with for the second law:
Second law of thermodynamics: deltaS = change in entropy. deltaS must be greater than or equal to zero for all natural processes; entropy increases for all natural processes.
"Entropy" is defined as a measure of unusable energy within a closed or isolated system. As usable energy decreases and unusable energy increases, "entropy" increases. Entropy is also a gauge of randomness or chaos within a closed system. As usable energy is irretrievably lost, disorganization, randomness and chaos increase. (all-about-science.org/second-law-of-thermodynamics.htm)
I especially like the part about "usable energy is irretrievably lost" and this leads to "disorganization, randomness and increased chaos". That is totally my life.
Oh and now I thought of a question for you! With 6 kids- do you and the kids get a flu shot? If one gets it - don't you all get it?
I refuse to answer on the grounds of Murphy's Law. And yes, if one gets it, we all do. It's the one time they listen to my lessons on sharing.
And on a completely different subject - WHERE do you hide gifts for that many kids? I'm running out of places that I'll remember come 3 weeks. I did find things from last year that I hid and forgot to find so part of my shopping is done. :)
LOL I've done that too! I can't tell you where I hide presents because my kids read this sometimes.
Dawn, What patches is your child on? My daughter is ADHD and is on the Daytrana patch...I am not sure if there is something else out there on the market or if this is the only patch. What side effects do you guys deal with. My daughter has a significant lack of appetite and she also seems irritable.
He used to take Concerta, but we just started Daytrana here too. He doesn't have a good appetite while on the medication, but we remove the patch as soon as he gets home from school and let him graze all night whenever he's hungry. It's a tough thing - ADHD. I don't like giving him medication at all, but he's literally a different person without it. He is very much Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He's the sweetest, most giving, caring, kind, thoughtful, funny kid when he's taken his medication. Unfortunately, without the meds, he is rude, belligerent, impulsive, hyper, obnoxious, and mean. I hate giving him medicine, but I'd hate it even more if he was in trouble every day, got poor grades, had no friends, was teased, or hurt himself because of his impulsive behavior. I know people have a lot of strong feelings about this, but I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all treatment for this. Different things work for different kids and you have to do what you think is the best (or the lesser of all evils) for your child.
We did try a diet with him for about four months. It's called the Feingold diet. I honestly didn't really think it would work. My husband was certain it wouldn't work. We gave it 100% effort for four months though and we were all amazed that it did indeed work. It wasn't quite as effective as the medication, but still, the diet made an incredible, positive difference. Even my husband, ever the skeptic, couldn't believe it. This particular diet cuts out all artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives - basically anything artificial. At the beginning of the diet, they recommend you also cut out natural salicylates until you see if your child is sensitive to them. So, it's not a crazy diet. It's actually healthful. You're only eliminating artificial junk that wasn't even in the American diet a couple generations ago.
Sounds great, huh? Here are the drawbacks though... Whenever I had a question or wanted to get some information from the Feingold support message boards, I ran into "Feingold Nazis". Now, I'm sure there are friendly, helpful people who participate, but I read so much stuff from folks who were so anti-medication and talked so negatively about people who had chosen to help their child with medication, that it really turned me off. Like I said before - I don't believe there is one right answer that works for everyone.
Also, it will cost a fortune to buy packaged, premade natural foods and you will have to do a large amount of your shopping at natural food stores like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and the like. Or, you can choose to make most everything from scratch - bread, cookies, any kind of treats, and all lunches and meals in which case, it will be more cost effective, but very time consuming. I found that even though I made everything from scratch, my grocery bill still doubled when I did this diet. That was my biggest reason for stopping it. I simply couldn't afford it. I'm used to shopping at Aldi (the cheapest, generic, bargain food mart around.)
Another drawback is that the diet won't work if you don't follow it. I could make sure that it was followed meticulously here at home, but I couldn't be at school all day with my son to make sure he didn't have anything he wasn't supposed to. Although he knew what he could and couldn't eat, it was hard to resist temptation and stick to the diet. This is hard for an adult. Imagine how difficult it is for a nine year old. And what do you do when he's invited to a birthday party where pizza and birthday cake are served? Pack him a separate lunch? Make him feel weird? And how about the other kids? We made the whole family follow the diet because I couldn't see letting them his siblings eat contraband food in front of his face. I felt like it wasn't totally fair to the other kids, however.
In the end, I have yet to find the perfect solution for us. I may go back to the diet again in the future however. It did help my Spazboy, Clay get more control of himself too.
Wow, that post got long! Sorry about that, but hope it can help out someone who has a child who has been diagnosed with ADHD.
too funny. aren't clay and brooklyn your oldest and youngest? getting into mischief together, that's cute.
Nope, they're my two youngest. And yeah, it's cute. Real cute. <--- read with heavy sarcasm.
were there any aftereffects from the tic tac cravings? my mom always said eating too much of those will cause them to come out the other end REALLY quick. i wonder if that is true... :-)
LOL! Umm, not that I noticed.
Soooo, how much hair did you pull out yesterday?
Only the grays.
Here's a question for your Sunday post - what consequences happen to your kids when they do things like this? I never had six kids, but I did have three boys and they wouldn't have dreamed of pulling stunts like these. I think the worst mine ever tried was a bit of crayon on the wall and that earned them a whole afternoon of time-out in their room.
I never get this "boys will be boys" way of thinking. Boys can be completely charming and delightful when they know what their limits are.
Ugh. This was in response to Monday's post so I had to go back and look at it to refresh my memory. First of all, I'm not sure why you're asking. It sounds as if you just want to imply that I'm doing everything wrong since your children apparently never misbehaved. I'm also guessing that your children may be grown now? I do think that (in general) kids today aren't as well behaved as (in general) kids from generations past. I do not attribute it all to this generation's parenting, however. And even if you could blame it all on today's parent, it would seem that yesterday's parent didn't do a very good job raising us if we're messing up so badly that we're all to blame for our children's bad behavior. Does that make any sense? I believe there are many, many factors involved here. We're living in a very different world than it was even one generation ago. Parenting is not the same.
Secondly, my kids are well behaved in public (except the doctor's office for some reason. It never fails that they wacky there. Maybe it's all the waiting. Anyway...) and I never fail to get compliments from people when we're out. Also, I sometimes exaggerate (shocking, I know) to make a story a better read.
Finally, I'm not a perfect parent. Far from it. I make mistakes. I do things that in retrospect, were probably not the best ideas. Sometimes I'm just too tired to make them pick up and it's easier if I do it myself. Occasionally, I let something slide that I shouldn't. Now and then I lose my temper and yell like a maniac. But I always try to do what's right. I try to show my kids how to behave. I try to stay calm and let the natural consequences of their choices teach them. I try to apply punishments that fit the crime when need be. When Clay dumped sugar on my counter while helping me make cookies, he wasn't punished. He missed the bowl. He's three. Big deal. When he ran by the laundry basket, spilling clothes onto the floor, he had to pick them up. He ate all the chocolate from his advent calendar, now when all the other kids get a piece, he doesn't. His is gone.
How do you stay healthy when one of the kids is always getting sick? I have a sick daughter right now and one is enough...can't imagine more than one sick at the same time!! And then what would happen if mom gets it??
Moms aren't allowed to get sick, silly!
Dawn, I assume your husband reads your blog. Have you found that he is now tormenting you on purpose by smacking his lips, hitting his spoon on the bowl, and brushing while taking a tour of the house?
LOL! Noooo. I have discovered that the grossed-outedness I experience doesn't only happen when my husband eats. Apparently I don't like to hear anyone eat. I was at the library the other day, working on my book, when some girls sat down behind me and proceeded to open a bag of SunChips and chow down. Oh. My. Gosh. I had to leave.
It isn't my husband. Clearly there's something wrong with me.
OH MY WORD....Glad to hear we're not alone over here - my kids have been crazy - I felt like Monday I walked in circles thru a path of destruction. And the behavior - oh my - I'm chalking it up to the annual countdown to Christmas - as much as we try and keep it about Jesus' birthday, we can't seem to get away from getting caught up in the hype - my kids just become crazed lunatics this time of year. Hang in there girl!
December is always my kids' worst behavior month. Well, December and August actually. What makes it worse is you can't just send them outside to run off some energy. I let them play in the snow for a while, but they can't just stay out for hours playing. Everyone's tired of being cooped up inside and they're super crazy this time of year.
How fun was it to clean the blue out of that tub?!?
Crap! I was supposed to clean it???
You're the expert, please help me:
My SAH husband just called to ask if the ink from the ink pad I gave our 3 year old daughter will come out. I asked why and he said our DARLING 21 month old son got ahold of it and it's not only all over his face but the carpet and the couch too! I probably shouldn't have done this but I said, "Take pictures honey, this is great blog material." Then I said to try baby wipes because I've heard they take anything out of anything.
Any other suggestions? Our furniture had no blemishes before this.
Let me get this straight - you have a 3 year old and an almost 2 year old and your furniture has no telltale signs there are toddlers in your house? Seriously?
Do you think that when your kids are all grown up, that you will look back at all the mishaps they did and think to your self "I miss that"?
So they tell me, so they tell me...
Is it just me but has no one kind of wondered what she was doing by herself in a high chair long enough to pull this off....
Oh, you know - I went to the grocery store while she was sitting there, so she had a good hour and a half to do that. @@
I don't know about you, but I have yet to perfect the skill of watching six kids simultaneously for 24 hours straight. Plus, my husband kind of likes it when I do stuff like clean, make dinner, pay bills, and do the laundry. You must be amazing to be able to do all that and watch all your kids at the same time. I leave the little one in her chair to drink her milk while I change laundry. I'm just a slacker that way.
PS Yes, your drain is so shiny too, as noted by others. And is that a smoke detector on the side of your tub? (the white thing)
Uh yeah, well you never know when your bathtub might catch on fire. ???
I used to work for eBay customer support, and I just wanted to let you know that they are, indeed, real people. They use macros (automated responses that are programmed into their computers) to help them with the more common responses, because they usually work 3-5 at a time. It is an incredibly stress-filled job. I used to get so stressed before work that I would vomit. I hated that job, and I'm glad to be done with it.
I guess I didn't phrase that very well. Michelle did get a live person, but that person said that live help wasn't available to answer her question about eBay's TOS and charitable auctions. And yeah, that doesn't sound like a fun job.
As for the pencils, I understand...kind of. I've worked in a school for six years. As a teacher, I keep a stash of pencils for me and a stash for the kids. They are different brands so they don't mix. Basically, I use my own to avoid their germs because kids are known to put their fingers in there nose and who knows where else. I bleach their pencils at lunch and after school every day to cut down on germs, but I just feel more comfortable with my own. I allow the kids to use their own as well if they don't want to use the shared ones. With MRSA and whatever else is out there, people are scared.
Ahh, well that would make sense if these had been the teacher's personal pencils, however this was a cup of new, unsharpened pencils with the school's name imprinted on them, and they were set on a low table in the waiting area of the office.
I've been reading your blog daily since someone sent me the ebay auction over the summer. I am a queer activist mama of three and I babysit 4 other kids full time. We are not so different, which is why I read your blog. We have many of the same ideas about parenting and life and I look forward to reading your book (which I will have to get from the library because I can't afford to buy books!). I felt compelled to write because the Golden Compass book (and the entire trilogy) by Phillip Pullman is one of my all time favorites and I strongly feel that you should read it before suggesting an all out ban on it. Or the movie, or whatever. It's weird to be so in sync with a total stranger for so long and then have this glaring somewhat shocking reminder that maybe we are, in fact, too different after all. If your opinions on the film are any indication you probably think I'm some crazy homo sinner anyways so maybe it's for the best. So I guess we're breaking up. Sad, but thanks for the laughs.
Ummm, whaaaaat? I suggested an all out ban on The Golden Compass? When did I do that? I guess I'm writing things that I don't even remember now. Interesting.
I do have a question, I have more then one child who enjoys computer time. How do you make the time fair for each child? From the time my boys get up to the time they go to bed they fight over the laptop. My younger one is home more since hes only in preschool and is on it more. I just want less fighting over the time they are on it and could use some ideas. Thankyou.
Simple. I just never get off the computer to let them have a turn.
Actually, only my three oldest like to use the computer. If it's for homework, that child has precedence. If it's to play, they have to take turns. I suggest that they set a timer for 20 minutes. If I hear fighting over it, no one gets to play.
Question for a Sunday or anyone to answer: What "hit counter" do you like to use for your blog? I put one on my blog, but it's very basic and counts every hit even everytime I check to see how a post looks. I've made most of the hits so far :)
I use Statcounter. It has a lot of features that are cool, I guess. I've never really looked at them myself. It has a blocking cookie though so you can block your own hits and you don't inflate the numbers. (Don't I sound all technical like I know what I'm talking about? LOL!)
We are from a SMALL town in eastern Kentucky, so the big city is a real treat for us. I took Mom to Marshall's department store (is that the right name?). She had never been shopping anywhere bigger than a mall. She was fascinated by all the levels and the windows and the decorations. It was near Christmas, so you can imagine how beautiful it was.
That was a nice story and I'm sure a great memory for you, but you definitely didn't go to Marshalls. Marshalls is a bargain clothing type store. I'm sure you went to Marshall Fields (or Fields) which is was an awesome store. The one downtown always decorated their windows with a story. Sadly, we no longer have Marshall Fields in Chicagoland as it's been replaced with Macy's. : (
Oh -- and do you have a recommendation of good Greek or was it a pleasant dinner with friends or not somewhere you'd recommend to others? Discriminating palates want to know!
Greek Islands in either Lombard or Greektown is awesome. The Parthenon in Greektown is also yummilicous! In the suburbs, Yanni's or Greek Village Taverna are both good! Opa! (I'm not really a restaurant critic, but I play one on my blog.)
my question is this... i read your blog daily and i swear i am either losing my mind or some of your posts come then go, whats up with that???
I think you are losing your mind. I'm sorry.
What does it take to be a dork like you? (Besides having a "gillion" kids that is.}
Oh it would take years of practice to get as dorky as I am.
Ok, so you didn't tell us, did the water help with the dry mouth thing or is it just the fact that you are nervous a little?
It totally helped with the dry mouth. It did not help with the weak bladder, however.
You are going to L-O-V-E NYC!! It's a great city! Make sure you do the dorky touristy stuff like Rockefeller Center, Radio City, FAO, etc and a warning....do not eat food from a vendor named Salvador in Times Square, he sells hot dogs and various condiments for said dogs.......it wouldn't be a pretty trip. Otherwise enjoy coming to "my" coast!
Thanks for the tips!
Wow that is cool!!! I got to see some of Chicago which I am pretty sure (unless I miraculously win lotto) will never happen. Its funny though that you are complaining about the snow lol I have never seen snow ....ever.... I dont live where it gets cold enough to ever snow. We are sweltering here at the moment with the humidity, its about 80%. I cant wait till you go to New York I hope you do the tourist thing and take loads of pics. Are you going to New York on your own or with your hubby?
You can have my snow! Please! Really! Last night, it didn't snow. It iced. Sleet and freezing rain all night. In other words - everything was covered by a sheet of ice this morning. Everything!
And I'm going to NY by myself! Well actually, I'm going with my agent. LOL - it still cracks me up to say that.
You're gonna be in NEW YORK?
Let's do lunch!
As long as it's not at Salvador's hotdog cart.
Here's an update on Michelle's cheesy auction to benefit Julian:
The cheese has been bid up to $265.00 as of tonight! It's gotten 49 bids! People have made Paypal donations on Michelle's blog totaling $850.00! Wow! Thank you to all who have donated and to those who have said a prayer! This outpouring of compassion is amazing! This is what Mimi had to say...
And visit Mamaslike for great gift ideas like Scripture jewelry, scrapbooking DVDs, CDs to benfit cancer research, homemade goodies from Etsymoms, Christmas books, paper made from elephant poop, and much, much more!
Please, let your readers know that I have read every single comment they left on your blog. I appreciate them so much more than I could ever tell them.
This seems so unfair to Julian , but he still has a smile for me ,every time i look at him...
I will just be relieved when he is cancer free and with Our Father...I hate to see him hurt and become so limited in his mobility...
So again ,thank everyone for me...

After a short nap, following a very busy day, I thought I would share some of my first Visit to NARA, National Archives and Records Administration. Having and experienced NARA visitor as guide was awesome.
Lessons Learned:
- Go with another experienced researcher
- Good Preparation
- Expect some "down time"
- Don't get overwhelmed
Prior to our trip to Washington, D.C., I spent some time on the NARA website. http://www.archives.gov – It was helpful to read as much about the visit as possible, like the link for Genealogist http://www.archives.gov/research/genealogy/ or Planning your visit http://www.archives.gov/research/start/plan-visit.html, signing up for a Researcher Card, orientation were helpful.
There are many other helpful links on those pages in preparation for the visit.
The next thing, for me at least, was to have what exactly I was looking for. (a short list)
Determine how you are going to record what you are going to be looking at and what you want to capture from the material that you will find. If you look at the "allowed" list of things you can take "into Room 203" is long on Electronic / Digital devices.
Check out what records or record groups that you want to look at. Remembering that you can't just walk up to a shelf a pick something out. For me, I wanted ONE thing, but had 4 other items to look at. My goal was to pull my Great-Grandfather's pension file. Thanks to Dear MYRTLE, I had the one number I needed for that record. Not seeing much in the past, about any pension files from other family genealogist, my expectations for material was low. So, I did have a short list of Land Records to look at, from the Bureau of Land Management. My Great-Grandfather's children showed up on 4 BLM records, so I wanted to see what was included in them. I hadn't looked at any of those records.
I did spend a number of hours, in preparation for the trip, I had information on what I wanted to put, but kept the list small. That was my way of trying not to be overwhelmed and for the preparation for the trip.
The next piece what a briefing from an experienced NARA Researcher, my cousin, Dear MYTLE.
What was very helpful, was what really happens from the time you walk in the door until you see the first item that you went to NARA to see. What to expect or the details behind the links that I mentioned earlier. For example, what you go through when walking in the front door (or is that the back door — Oh yeah, the researcher door). Think airport security, but with very nice, helpful, no pat down, folks.
The next piece that Myrt told us about was the Researcher Card (see link above) and it's orientation. I read it online before I left home and Patti read it on the way to DC. It wasn't the same that you when through to get your Researcher Card, but the review made the required orientation go a little quicker.
Here is where the fine points of the visit came in handy. We almost had the timing down, but I missed it by about 5 minutes.
While you are in the area to get the Researcher Card, for first timers, you can have all of your paper work with you, your notes, etc, BUT there is a "pull time" schedule to be aware of. We were, we arrived but didn't quite make the first Pull Time. Myrt did, but I just missed it. The Orientation and waiting for the Photo Researcher Card to be processed messed me up. But, in reality that was good news.
Card in hand, the filling out of a Pull Request form had to be filled out. I had that data in hand, not to much time to fill out, but just missed it. Patti followed in a few minutes, and not the "wait" begins. Since we had time, I used it to see if I could get these 4 Land Records. We had to go to a different part of the area where we were. Had some help filling out the right form for those records. There was always someone around to help. Very nice folk.
Forms filled out and turned in, we put our "stuff" (everything) into a locker. Camera's in hand, we were ready for Room 203. But, since we had about 45 minutes before anything would be ready for us, we visited the Library in the same area. I am not sure that "library" was the right term for that area, but there were books. I wondered through to see what was there. The best example was a book that I found, that was probably the source for the information I found on Ancestry, on the Civil War Unit that my Great-Grandfather was in. Some books for Maryland and Pennsylvania, that I had seen referred to at some point in time, some City Directories, to name a few. Of interest to me, was that we were the only 3 people in the room. Guess that is not where the "good stuff" is.
The first "Pull" was about ready to be in Room 203, so we headed in that direction. I had a chance to meet, in person, someone from the Archives, that I had "met" in one of the 1940 Census Webinars that we did that first week. What an honor to meet Rebecca.
ROOM 203 – wow. It was about what I expected. We found a table for the 3 of us to get comfortable and ready to work. "Hurry up and wait" was the key word for Patti and I, but that was OK. Myrt picked up her "first" pull package. I watched what she did, for when my turn came. She reviewed (quickly) what she was looking at, then signed up for a 'camera position', where she could take pictures that is well lite and a way to mount the camera. Really cool.
To help speed things along, I helped turn the pages, while she operated the camera.
The second pull arrived …. now it's time to get to work. I picked up my Samuel pension file. It was thicker then what I had expected. Patti got hers, opened it, and right on top was a Marriage Certificate. Dear MYRTLE turned 'green'.
As my mentor did, I quickly looked through what was in the package and since the camera position was open, I started to take pictures. Probably took 100 photos. We get the details from those photos when I get home and have the time to really digest what I had in front of me.
Glancing at the pages that I helped Myrt with, and my own, and later when I took the pictures for Patti, the FAN concept came to mind. Many of the documents we looked at had Family, Acquaintances, and Neighbors names listed. More to follow up on later.
We took a lunch break, on a lower level of the building. Then back to work. My Land Records had arrived before lunch, and I went through one of them, and finished them after lunch. One of the 4 records was not the record that I wanted, but that was OK.
Observation: why were these folks, official looking, non-visitor badges walking around? Besides being very friendly, and helpful, were making sure that "we" were doing what we were to be doing. Of course, this was covered in the orientation. What wasn't in the orientation was how nice they were, helpful, would answer any question. Added to the nice experience.
Another observation, was the number of younger folk in the room working on the records that are available at NARA. I'll leave that as a mystery, but perhaps they were college folk doing research. Certainly there were other genealogist in the room, but I was curious as to who these other folk were.
I guess we were exhausted by now, camera's full of new "stuff", it was time to go home. The process was reversed, locker, then the door. Unlike an airport, we existed through security. Again, very nice folks, making the entire experience very pleasant.
All in all, a great day.
I am repeating:
Lessons Learned:
- Go with another experiened researcher
- Good Preparation
- Expect some "down time"
- Don't get overwhelmed

National leaders are updated weekly. Conference and school leaders are updated yearly.
This site has the most comprehensive list of all-time college football individual statistical leaders online. Every stat on this site is based on the NCAA official rules, not the school or conference rules (no bowl games prior to 2002). Defensive stats, not including interceptions, did not become official until 2000. That is why you will see two lists; one is the official one since 2000, the other is more inclusive with the start date based on when most schools began reporting defensive stats.
Some defensive stats are marked with a single asterisk (*). This means that bowl games were included in the statistics reported by the school, therefore, the player's per game average has been subtracted for each bowl game played.
Other defensive stats are marked with two asterisks (**). This means the value is only approximated, based on the statistics that could be found.

This is part of a series of daily blogging prompts entitled Fearless Females created by Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog in honor of Women's History Month .
Here are the prompts – consider honoring your female ancestors by posting at your genealogy or family history blog!
Took the 'day off' yesterday, to visit my 93 year old mother. Each visit is a almost a day long event.
However, it was a multi-event visit. Spent a wonderful hour and a half with a Facebook friend at Starbucks. Can't get any better then that.
Stopped by to pay respects to my Dad in the memorial garden of the Church where I grew up. Being a contributor to the Find-A-Grave website, I took pictures.
Spent Tuesday, March 9th creating a database file for that Memorial Garden, which had been started, but only had one interment listed. Uploaded the file, updated the Find-A-Grave website, then posted the entire Memorial Garden on the website, as well as posting the images for T0mbstone Tuesday.
The assignment for March 9:
Make a family document (baptismal certificate, passenger list, naturalization petition, etc.) and write a brief narrative using the information.
Chose to skip that assignment and do the Find-A-Grave work instead. (good excuse, huh?)
* March 10:
What role did religion play in your family?
Oh, yeah.
My Dad's family were Quakers, going way back. My Mother's family were Episcopalian, but not so far back. However, going back to the earliest Worthington, Capt. John, the Anglican Church shows up again.
Below is a picture of my Grandfather (Mom's father), My Father, my brother and I. Three of the four, in this picture were / are very active in the Church.
How did your female ancestors practice their faith?
While visiting the Memorial Garden at Grace Episcopal Church in Haddonfield, New Jersey, I was reminded of the Worthington Room in the Parish Hall.
My mother spent hours and hours in this room, and the room that preceded it helping with the many tasks of running a Church of this size. The folks in this picture were her companions doing things like putting Sunday Bulletin's together, Monthly Newsletters, etc. The Room was named in her honor.
If they did not, why didn't they?
Did you have any female ancestors who served their churches in some capacity?
My mother was the first female to be on the Vestry (governing body) and warden of that church. She was the Treasurer for years and years. She also tied the ties in the first picture for my brother and I, and all of the other Choir Boys, in Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, West Chester, Pennsylvania.

'Interventions' Aren't Always Well Received
A funny story about my great friend 911DOC. He was visiting friends a few years ago...friends he hadn't seen for several years. They threw a few beers back and the next day the friend - who had somehow become a grubby little liberal shithead - asked 911DOC if he thought he had a problem. I am pretty sure this is how it went. I love you, man. Happy Father's Day.
43 comments:
I know 911, and he has no problem with alcohol. Black tar heroin, yes. Alcohol, no way.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I know. He was just chillin'. Threw back a few pops like we all do. If I remember the story properly, the guy had gone to law school and had become, well, a big, fat, hairy pussy of a liberal.ReplyDelete
yeah, that happened. funny thing, the last time we had seen each other as a group was at a friend's wedding and it was drinking from morning to night. the difference here, i guess, was that the wives and kids were around. hell if i know.ReplyDelete
i could easily be an addict, so could anyone, all you have to do is say, 'i have a disease, i am powerless over my addiction.'

So my sister is a lesbian who has been in a relationship with the same woman for 10+ years.
She has breast cancer. She is going through radiation.
But her partner, who is currently with the army in Kosovo, can't even /request/ a leave of absence because her partner of ten years is not considered "family."
So y'know what? Fuck ya'all conservatives and fuck your "don't ask don't tell" policy.

Hannah my dear with the symetrical name, "Don't Ask Don't Tell" was instituted early in the Clinton administration. Like alot of liberal policies it backfired, more homos were thrown out under "Don't Ask Don't Smell" than under the evil Reagan-Bush reign. Here's what she has to do, suck it up, take a high hard one from a guy, + HCG and shes on the next Freedom Bird to the states.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10:14 PM, June 17, 2008
Why can't she, as my sister's rightful spouse, be allowed to apply for leave like a heterosexual couple? If Clinton started the "don't ask don't tell" policy, why hasn't Bush eradicated it as unfair and discriminatory? (Oh, wait, he pushed through DOMA.)ReplyDelete
let me get this straight. you are pissed because your sister's lover, who lied to get into the military, is now being called on a lie? my wife and i were separated while we served our country and my next door neighbor has been separated from his wife during the course of his 25 year career for 10 years. he has missed his daughter's graduation and countless other events, and was deployed when his mother died.
the military's sole purpose is to kill our enemies and break their stuff (under the lawful order of our government). everything else takes a back seat. everything.
so, dear hannah, i am terribly sorry that your sister has cancer, i mean that, but do not expect me to start writing my congressman to subvert the mission of the military to the very real, but less important needs, of it's members.
and kosovo?? are we still there?? who ordered our troops their? who dictated rules of engagement that insured minimal american loss of life and at the same time made a real victory impossible? oh yeah... it was Clinton.
- Anonymous10:23 PM, June 17, 2008
Actually, she's in Kosovo because of the recent uprising/civil war. Yes, something Clinton supported whilst in office but it's been over a decade between points A and B.ReplyDelete
As far as I know, no, my sister's spouse (not lover -- they live together, have formed their own idea of "family" and have been "married" for longer than 50% of heterosexuals) did not lie to get into the army. She's actually in the reserves, has been in the reserves since before she met my sister. Thus the only "lie" was the acceptance of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
The /separation/ doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that she is not given the same opportunities as her heterosexual counterparts.
you will convince me that gay marriage is a good idea if you can define 'marriage' for me and tell me how it is different (apart from the very obvious legal rights it concurs) from 'living together'.
if you say that the legal rights are the only difference then let's make 'civil unions' carry the same legal weight as marriage, but don't profane my religion calling homosexual unions 'marriage'. if you are tempted here to call me intolerant, be careful, i am nothing but tolerant, but advocating and accepting as equally valid, that's not tolerance.
if there is something other-worldly or spiritual about marriage please tell me what it is and then tell me why it should be limited to humans... in other words, if you say that the depth of love felt by one individual towards another is the special thing, then why limit marriage to humans? why can't i marry my dog for instance... she's really cute and i know she loves me. if you say it's because the dog can't consent i would disagree, she clearly understands simple commands, who are you to say she can't consent?
here's a standard conservative position on marriage... "What Marriage is For", it's not emotional so you might not like it, but hannah, your depth of feeling on this issue is the least persuasive way to argue for what you want. the reason for this is that then all arguments turn into a 'who feels this more deeply' contest rather than who has the better logical point. and that's the main difference between liberals and conservatives. liberals are all about feelings and conservatives, while we acknowledge the importance of feelings, place reason above them.

How's does one go from intervention to immediate rant that is completely off topic? I might be slow, but could someone fill me in?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10:49 PM, June 17, 2008
Ah, darling 911. I don't really care what you call it. Neither do most homosexuals. Give them the same rights as married folk -- call it a civil union, sure -- and why not? Allow churches to choose whether they will "marry" (under god and all that nonsense) a gay couple. Homosexuals are fighting for equal rights. Most can get "married" right now in any liberal church of their choosing. But what does that mean in the eyes of the government? Nothing.ReplyDelete
So, yes, you and your ilk can get married and divorced in your church as many times as you wish. While everyone else pines away for the same insurance and tax benefits, etc.
didn't lie? didn't lie? please, pull the other one.ReplyDelete
same opportunities as heterosexuals? what opportunities are those? the legal rights of marriage are the only things you are talking about because she is actually given MORE opportunities, based on the religion of diversity in our culture, to advance to make the workforce more 'diverse'. she is picked in advance of boring old heterosexuals for certain positions. she has more 'opportunities' than i have (because of my white skin and hetero makeup) to get preferential admission to universities, preferential hiring, and being a woman, she can pick and choose her assignments in the reserves to the extent any male could only dream of. also, being a woman, all she has to do to get home is get pregnant and she could do this without even touching a man, and it's done all the time. please. opportunities.
and just so you know, it happens about once a week in my military town, that i get to take care of a wife of a service member who comes in and says, "i'm going to kill myself if you don't get my husband back from iraq."
if, in this case, the wife had breast cancer, and was not expected to live more than a few weeks, yes, the husband would be brought home, if there were merely a diagnosis of breast cancer then the serviceman might or might not get to come home for a brief visit based on the needs of the service.

I don't get the 90 degree turn out of nowhere either, but regardless, since the topic was changed, I can't access the link of "What Marriage is for".ReplyDelete
My computer can be temperamental sometimes, so is it just me or is there a problem with the link?
dear amy-65-c,ReplyDelete
sorry for the broken link... try this.
hannah, then we agree. it's not marriage.
- Anonymous10:59 PM, June 17, 2008
Wait. What?ReplyDelete
The reserves does not officially "know" that she is homosexual. Yes. She is a woman. And a white woman. So she has the woman advantage, but certainly not the homosexual nor the white advantage. Obviously, if she could get pregnant, she might choose it. But that is not an option.
And I mean that -- if my sister were dying of cancer, with only weeks to live, her partner would not be able to petition for leave. Any heterosexual partner would, of course. But admitting to homosexuality in the military is akin to signing your death warrant.
So, please. Who is persecuting you? Blacky, the wimmen folk, or the homos?

- Anonymous11:10 PM, June 17, 2008
The moral decline of this nation becomes more appearant to me every day. Did it all start with the "free" love of the 60's?ReplyDelete
i was not referring to her opportunities inside the reserves except as far as her being a woman goes. sorry that wasn't clear, but the left has made the military their little social experiment crucible for years and women DO have huge advantages over men in the service to the extent that they want a secure job and not to charge at machine guns.ReplyDelete
her opportunities outside the service ARE enhanced by her being a homosexual (depending on where she chooses to live). i live in bumfuck and it might not be the first place i chose to come if i were a homosexual but it hasn't stopped quite a few that i know personally from making bumfuck their home and succeeding at their jobs.
if she lives in a blue state, works for the government outside the reserves, works for a university, or works for a major coporation she would advance much more easily than a white male.
and here we come to an interesting part... "i mean it, IF MY SISTER WERE DYING OF CANCER with only weeks to live, her partner would not be able to petition for leave. Any heterosexual partner would, of course. But admitting to homosexuality in the military is akin to signing your death warrant."
so as it turns out, and again i am truly sorry your sister has breast cancer, she is not dying right now nor is she in imminent danger of death and with God's help she will be cured. NO ONE, HETEROSEXUAL OR NOT, WOULD BE SENT HOME FOR THIS.
and your last statement is just a damnable fucking lie. admitting your homosexuality in the military will get you, probably, outprocessed in a quiet and quick fashion, but, as it turns out, Clinton's policy has made this more difficult and less common.
here's what happened to one of my classmates in internship who was gay. he was screwing an enlisted man in one of the call rooms and was stealing narcotics from the pharmacy. heterosexial? leavenworth for a year and a bad conduct discharge.
homosexual? the army paid 120k for his medical school but when he was caught he was sent to... FILE PAPERS FOR THE GENERAL UNTIL HIS RELEASE, WITHOUT OBLIGATION TO REPAY THE 120K LOAN, TO DO A CIVILIAN RESIDENCY. most money ever received for a blow job.
death warrant, are you fucking kidding me? i'm sorry i wasted so much time over your tantrum. jesus h christ on a popsicle stick, i know summer camp is scary and all, but mom's right here at the phone and maybe she can come and see you on arts and crafts weekend.

It always cracks me up, this nonsense about homosexuals being discrimminated against as far as marriage goes. WTF??? You have the EXACT same rights that I have. You can marry the opposite sex of your choosing, as long as said choice is in agreement of course. Where's the discrimmination in that? Call a spade a spade. What you want is SPECIAL treatment.
nicely put hannah.ReplyDelete
i'm sorry for taking out frustrations on you, but, i think you will agree, that in this case, you started it.
Wow! Isn't if fun how a silly cartoon (and my snide, right-sided comments) can spark such debate?ReplyDelete
I LOVE this country.
I am so giddy I could throw horse poop at the Clintons.
- Anonymous8:57 AM, June 18, 2008
You two can shut the fuck up now.ReplyDelete
I'm still busting a nut over the cartoon.
I read the article, it's reasonably well-reasoned, but I still don't buy it. My lesbian sister is dying, and her partner of ten years and she have to jump through many more legal hoops to obtain the same protections that a married couple would.ReplyDelete
I don't think the correct question is "Why do they have to get married?" but " Why shouldn't they" Many gay people have children, and the parents are going to be gay whether or not they have kids. Marriage would promote stability in gay marriages as it does in straight marriages. It's just silly to say that my upcoming marriage is okay because it's "for the kids" ( just like the Poopstrong bracelets.) I've had many gay parents come through my classroom, and their kids deserve the benefit of marriage just as much as my kids. It's at heart an equal protection issue.
And I don't think my sister's health has a thing to do with your out-of-control binge drinking, 911--I'm commenting on comments.
again, give them all the same legal protections but it's not marriage. one would have to redefine marriage to include same sex unions and i have other reasons for being against it, but good lord, don't you live in california? so what's the problem?
I don[t have a problem, sister and partner live in Florida. I just don't agree, that's all, and I don't think the author argued out his point that it's all about the kids. People have the urge to get married for all sorts of reasons--don't ask my why I got married the first time. I know the reason, it's just a bad one (and it's not money, he had none). It's only about the kids sometimes. Generally it has something to do with love and wanting to be a legally recognized partner. It doesn't bother me to extend marriage to gays. I know I"m not going to change anybody's opinion, though. I"m off-duty.ReplyDelete
left out the meat of the story. this particular weekend was long planned. i had just spent a few days with my wife and new baby at a very out of the way bed and breakfast and it had been awesome.
i pulled up to the house to meet my old friends and within six hours of being there i had heard...
1. 'supersize me' is the best movie ever
2. walmart kills babies
3. i had been asked to help my friends son pee... my friend was in the hot tub and his son was not so what the hell, i'm a doc, his son was not circumcised.
4. my friends had pissed off my wife by ignoring her.
it was at that point that i drove to the liquor store and bought a handle of beam. i mean, we were going to be there for three days and i didn't want to kill anyone.
ah, but dev, the urge to get married certainly can be had without the availability of marriage could it not? for instance, someone already married might have the urge to marry someone else. they can't, unless they get divorced.ReplyDelete
also, i have the urge to have consequence free sex with good-looking lesbian triplets, but it is not likely to happen nor am i seeking a law to make it happen.
finally, if the advocates of gay marriage really want it then propose an ammendment to the constitution and let's vote on it. this will not happen. most folks are dead against it and my problem here is legislation from the bench. not the way we set this system up.
911: I miss the Warren court...But I take your point, and besides, it's naptime!ReplyDelete
In this day and age, the average person will face more discrimination for being fat, poor, or ugly than for being non-white, gay, or of a certain religion.ReplyDelete
Hannah, those in the military must make tremendous sacrifices to serve. That's why it's called "service".
Perhaps your sister should get out if she is no longer able (or willing) to make those sacrifices. She may be dangerous to the soldiers around her if her mind is not focused on her job. If her personal life is interfering with her performance, it is immoral and unethical of her to stay in.
That is a hard choice, and requires some serious soul searching and honest self evaluation. I know this because I made the choice to get out after eight years of active duty.
She should also talk to the Red Cross - those people are whizzes at getting folks emergency leave. If she is not actually in combat, something can be arranged. She should also feel out her chain of command - if she is a good troop, some salty Colonel or Sergeant Major will bend the rules for her.

Just because you smoke hog does not make you gay, does it? 911, you wasted far to much energy with your argument. The butch beaver/fudge packing crowd has the courts on their side. Let em "marry". I will still know what the definition is and so will my kids. What kills me is the promiscuity that is so rampant in the male gay "life partner" community. Some of them come into the ED with a different "life partner" every week.ReplyDelete
That little comic thing is perfect. It's exactly how my sister responded when I suggested she might be abusing the alcohol a bit. I wouldn't have said anything if she had not been engaging in dangerous activities while drunk like attempting to jump off balconies and going home with random creepy guys . . .ReplyDelete

Since you're all off topic anyway. The real issue is that women don't belong in the military. We can not physically lift as much. Period. The standards are reduced because 99% of women can not compete physically with men. Men's lives are at risk because women are on the front lines.ReplyDelete
agree mostly. disagree as follows, i have no problem with women in the military but in jobs where physical stamina and strength may mean your life or someone else's then it should be a man's world. if you disagree, are you willing to draft women for combat positions? just remember the way the whole war and the media coverage STOPPED until Jesssica Lynch was 'rescued' (quotes because the 'rescue' is a controversial topic as far as what actually went down). don't get me wrong, i was elated that she was rescued, but a woman in captivity doesn't sit well with anyone and it sits least well with the folks around her and heaven and earth was moved to get her back. fine. great. but what about when it endagers the mission? personally i don't want my son or my daughter drafted but if there's a draft and i had to do a 'sophie's choice' i would chose my son to go.
I disagree. I can lift just as much as, and more than some, of my male counterparts in EMS (even whilst pregnant). Several of them are ex-military where they did see combat. Not all women belong, but if they can handle it, than so be it. If I were drafted I would proudly serve my country. If I were captured they best treat my rescue (or whatnot) the same as if I were a male, and frankly...I'm not sure I would want my commrades risking their lives to come save mine.ReplyDelete
then you are a FREAK!! just kidding ee, you are, nonetheless, a bit unique.ReplyDelete
Unique is one word for it, ridiculously sexy is another. I'm kidding, of course.ReplyDelete

Let's just dive right in shall we?
I just love when I get emails from PR companies or publishers that want to share the launch or re-launch of a FABULOUS baking book. This one Baking Basics and Beyond by Pat Sinclair is a keeper. Very helpful little baking book. It has kicked up recipes inside. Like savory blue cheesecake, banana bars with brown sugar frosting... Luckily they were nice enough to give away 2 books!
This is the new edition of Baking Basics and Beyond by Pat Sinclair. It's a down-to-earth, reader-friendly baking guide is updated with beautiful full color photos throughout. According to Pat Sinclair, "If a little kneading is good, is a lot of kneading better? Not for biscuits, as I learned the first time I made them. I discovered that biscuits are tender and flaky only if I follow two key baking techniques--cutting in shortening and gentle kneading. I've learned many more secrets like these over decades of baking professionally for companies such as Pillsbury and Land O'Lakes." Included are many traditional and old-fashioned American favorites such as Buttery Crescent Dinner Rolls, Dark Chocolate Cake with Praline Filling and Cranberry Nut Tartlets. Most of the recipes are easy and recognizable, if not extremely familiar. Some of the recipes, such as Turtle Cheesecake Pie, are variations of classics but with a little twist that makes them unique.
Baking Basics and Beyond differs from other books on baking because it concentrates on basic techniques and simple directions. No prior experience is necessary.
Although Sinclair has a master's degree in Foods, much of her baking experience came at home. She began baking in elementary school by learning how to bake from her mother, especially how to make a pie crust.

All this hype these days about clean eating for whole body detox; so many theories on it, so many ways to detox each promising to be the right one. NPR recent article about clean eating detox stated one particular VALID point: "The body is constantly filtering the toxins in alcohol, food and medicines, not storing them," Boston dietitian Maria Adams tells The Salt. "So they're not going to build up. I think the reason people feel better on a cleanse is probably just they're losing weight and are less bloated."
Interesting article, and scary the amount money of that crazy GOOP detox program costs: over $400!
Let's go from detox to mini burgers! Since Oscar night is right around the corner, Wolfgang Puck has a lot of his recipes appearing on the web. And here is one of them using Wagyu beef and a perfect remoulade sauce.
James Beard 2012 Awards Semi finalists. Here here! Glad to see Joanne Chang is on there (from flour bakery in boston).

My all time favorite is How to be a domestic Goddess by Nigella, I love that book!ReplyDelete
I love Peter Reinhart's break baker's apprentice cookbook!ReplyDelete

I love anything that Cook's Illustrated puts out. They do a ton of research and I always feel like they get the job done right.ReplyDelete
My favorite cookbook is The Pioneer Woman's (Ree Drummond)! Love her and I am so excited for the second one that is currently in the works!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link love! I think I'm in love with the dog and the coat. Adorable!ReplyDelete
My go to cookbook would have to be The Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigella. Especially Feast. I'm in love with that book.
Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook, and Betty Crocker's cookbook (my mother's..i'm not sure of the exact name of it)...both are what I used growing up when I was learning to cook.ReplyDelete
I love Rose's Heavenly Cakes!ReplyDelete
I got to hand it to the Barefoot Contessa. I use her recipes as jumping off points as I put my own spin on what she has to offer.ReplyDelete
I love the Taste of Home cookbooks.....but I get tons of recipes & ideas from blogs & the internet, which I think is just one huge, fun cookbook in itself! :-)ReplyDelete
Flour...by Joann Chang!ReplyDelete
I tend to use either recipes passed down from my family and friends or cooking blogs or sites that I love. I have to have that Lionel Richie teapot- I bet I could make it.ReplyDelete
I think so far my favorite is "Baked Explorations" by Lewis and Poliafito - I've never made anything out of there that I haven't loved.ReplyDelete
The tea set was from Etsy. This is what I found, http://www.etsy.com/listing/81628051/hello-lionel-richie-ritchie-teapot-teaReplyDelete

I love the classic Betty Crocker cook book.ReplyDelete
Barefoot Contessa. I love her!!ReplyDelete
At the moment, I'm really enjoying 'Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery' ---great recipes, techniques, and ideas! As for all time favorites, though, I have to give it to 'The Complete Magnolia Bakery Cookbook.' Perfect cupcakes and much more!ReplyDelete
The chocolate cake with praline filling sounds perfect. Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home to Yours is an excellent book. Surely a few others have flipped through the pages.ReplyDelete
I love The Bread Baker's Apprentice by Peter Reinhart. It's my bread-baking bible!ReplyDelete

My favourite baking "book" is one my Mom made for all the women in our family about five years ago. The font is terrible and there aren't any pictures, but it's a collection of my Grandma's and Mom's best recipes. I could curl up for a year in that book.ReplyDelete

SAA, Wesgro, the Western Cape Destination Marketing, Investment and Trade Promotion Agree on Further Cooperation
Cape Town Meeting United in Seeking Tourism, Business Travel Growth
Senior representatives of South African Airways, the Western Cape provincial government, the City of Cape Town, and public and private sector tourism operators and promoters, and the conference and transport industry met today in Cape Town to discuss further strengthening cooperation in marketing Cape Town and the Western Cape as a premier South African destination.
Participants in the meeting agreed that although a myriad of joint activities internationally were proving successful in bringing leisure and business travellers to Cape Town, even more could be done as the airline and the region work for further growth.
Hosted by the Western Cape?s destination marketing, investment, and trade promotion agency Wesgro, the gathering examined current global marketing activities and explored new approaches to leveraging the province?s multiple attractions in order to expand leisure, business, incentive, and conference visitor numbers as a spur to economic growth and job creation.
?Cape Town and the Western Cape as a whole are a crucial and integral part to our overall approach to marketing SAA and South Africa,? said GM Commercial Theunis Potgieter. ?We are seeing significant visitor growth from elsewhere in Africa, and from South America, Asia, and Australasia, and we are responding accordingly by deploying our aircraft capacity to those growth markets?.
SAA has recently announced increased frequencies to a number of cities within its network, including Accra, Mumbai, and Perth. Recent figures show that the number of Indian visitors to the Garden Route is rising, and visitors from across Africa are discovering Cape Town as an ideal holiday destination.
Participants agreed to make the Western Cape workshop a bi-annual event for the exchange of ideas and information.
"SAA's presentation outlining the challenges associated with sustaining routes has highlighted the complexities facing air transport internationally," said Wesgro CEO Nils Flaatten. "Today's round table discussion was important because together, many key role players in the Western Cape tourism industry and SAA were able to identify fresh marketing opportunities on the newer routes the airline is developing, as well as a mechanism for future coordination."
Among the new opportunities identified are accelerated specialised business tourism and conventions, support and development for sports and other major events, including ways of extending these benefits to the whole of the province. ?We are thrilled that the next International Air Transport Association Annual General Meeting will be in Cape Town next year,? said Flaatten. ?Bringing the world?s airline chiefs and 350 travel and air transport journalists to Cape Town will give the Western Cape tourism industry a massive boost.?
SAA plans similar workshops with tourism and business travel stakeholders in other regions of the country it serves in the coming weeks and months.
?As a national asset and the backbone of South Africa?s air transport infrastructure we are very pleased to contribute our global insights, visibility and reach in forging partnerships to the benefit of the country?s growth in leisure and specialised tourism,? said Potgieter.
South African Airways (SAA) is the leading carrier in Africa, serving 26 destinations across the continent, as well as major destinations within South Africa and internationally from its Johannesburg hub. It is a member of the largest international airline network, Star Alliance. SAA?s core business is the provision of passenger airline and cargo transport services together with related services, which are provided through SAA and its four wholly owned subsidiaries: SAA Technical; Mango its low cost carrier; Air Chefs, the catering entity of SAA and South African Travel Centre (SATC). SAA CEO Siza Mzimela is the first woman to be appointed to the IATA Board of Directors in its 67 year history. SAA is the winner of the 'Best Airline in Africa? Award in the regional category for nine consecutive years and the winner of ?Service Excellence Africa? for two consecutive years. Mango and SAA hold the number one and number two successive spots as South Africa?s most on time airlines.

The End of the Winter: It's difficult for us to get a decent read on yesterday's conference call with the GM, given that we picked up on it via a handful of tweets that came blasting into our mobile device once we re-entered cell range. There was a tone of resignation that came across in some the subsequent reports, with Alex Anthopoulos seemingly admitting that there wasn't much left that the Jays could reasonably accomplish, while at the same hinting that there's more that he'd like to do.
To us, the most salient quote that we read from yesterday's chinwag (as conveyed by Sportsnet.ca's Mike Cormack) was this:
"There are a lot of things we could have done this past off-season to say that we did it, but I don't think they would have been good timing or good trades for us…I think they would have been bad."
While there are still some fans who have visions of "proven" "big bats" dancing in their heads, we appreciate the discipline that the front office is demonstrating at this point. They seem to know that there are improvements that could be made in a few areas, but they're not going to allow themselves to operate "on tilt", making dumb moves for the sake of "showing something to the fans". That's how teams end up trading for Vernon Wells. Or how someone is going to find the rationale to acquire Alfonso Soriano.
We realize prudence and forbearance aren't the things that are going to get those who are exclusively focused on a playoff berth revved up for the new season, but we've started to realize that those kids are never going to be happy, so trying to satiate their unending desire to spend someone else's money is a losing battle.
Sneaky Bullpen Signings: Even with their impressive numbers, Sergio Santos' and Darren Oliver's names were nowhere to be seen on the wish lists of fans at the conclusion of the season. And yet, those additions, along with the repatriation of Jason Frasor, will give the Blue Jays a much stronger and deeper bullpen.
Santos, Oliver and Frasor will be joined by a number of intriguing bullpen options, including Casey Janssen, Carlos Villaneuva, Joel Carreno, Jesse Litsch and Luis Perez. Moreover, there are a number of fringe arms that have the potential to contribute next season, including Trystan Magnuson (quietly reacquired in November from Oakland), Danny Farquhar and Alan Farina may fill in where injuries or performance necessitate changes.
The bullpen was probably the most glaring area in need of a fix coming into the offseason, and it appears as though the Jays have managed to find solutions for 2012. And as someone who was not always a fan of John Farrell's bullpen management last year, we'll be interested to see how he acquits himself with a stronger collection of arms at his disposal.
As for the line that was tossed about concerning Darren Oliver's league-leading intangible awesomeness in the clubhouse and his recording-setting camaraderie, the line that kept running through our head as we read those remarks were: "He has a great personality." Which is not the sort of praise about which we get excited.
Jays in Ottawa: It's somewhat well know that we make our home in the national capital, and while we weren't around for the arrival of the Winter Caravan this weekend, we were impressed with the turnout of Blue Jays fans who flocked to a local mall and lined up for hours to meet their heroes.
There's a nice video summation of the trip on the Blue Jays' website, though those who are fans of Toronto pro hockey franchise might want to avert their eyes about midway through, when the boys sport the Ottawa Senators' nifty retro jerseys. (And even if our loyalties lean towards our hometown team, we'll give J.P. Arencibia credit for demonstrating a certain amount of discomfort at wearing the uniform of his beloved #TeamUnit's rivals.)
We'd probably be getting way ahead of ourselves to hope that this augurs well for the return of an affiliated minor league team to the Capital, since support on a single winter's day doesn't mean that you'll be able to sell 250,000 tickets per year. Still, an Ottawa baseball fan can dream.

Just got back from dinner with 6 Genea-Bloggers, part of the 90+ Unofficial Genea-Bloggers at Roots Tech 2012. We all got checked in, had a warm up of the Genea-Blogger BUMP, spend time meeting each other, sharing stories. Were all hungry so we went out for food.
One of the first Genea-Bloggers that I really wanted to met was the footnoteMavin (fM, sometimes referred to on FaceBook). She encouraged me to create, and actually helped me name my Headstone Collection Blog. Well, what an honor to meet her in person.
We were chit-chatting at dinner, when she asked a question: Why does the US have so few Genealogy Magazines, while the UK had quite a number (16, is what I remember her mentioning)? Interesting question for a bunch of seasoned and not so seasoned Genea-Bloggers waiting for RootsTech 2012 to start.
Pause a moment – I am not staying down town. My choice of hotel was not a good one, but it will work, but it involved a 20 minute train ride.
My quick response to fM's question was – we are in too much of a hurry. As there were a couple of folks who had been to England, had family in England mentioned the difference between how we get from one place to another.
The train ride back to the hotel was a great example of what we were talking about. SmartPhone, hand held devices, things hanging out of one's ears were all on the train but one person. That one person, actually had a book. No one on the train when I went down town had a book. The electronic devices were being used by everyone (but me, I hadn't ridden that train before, had no clue where I was, only hints on where I wanted to get off of the train).
The England observation was that everyone was reading a book or a magazine.
Thinking of how many of us get to and from work, it is mostly by automobile vs train. Of the 35 years that I worked, 33 of those years the commute was by car. No books or magazines there. The 2 other years, I did ride a train, but my Laptop was running for 2 hours on the train, getting work done.
Probably that last 10 years that I drove to get to and from work, I did have books, but they were Books on Tape. (now CD).
So, for me, one of the reasons for the lack of Genealogy Magazines is due to how we get to and from work. We are in cars and not trains.
Next, has to be how busy we all are. Even being retired, I rarely will sit down and read a book or a magazine.
Having said the, I will also admit that I am not a reader to begin with, but others may have the same experience. Guess you can't read and drive a car at the same time. (we'll not talk about Jersey drivers here.
Next, what did everyone at the diner table have, and referred to a couple of time, Electronic Devices. If "it", in this case a magazine, isn't on the hand held device some readers won't read. It was great to see my oldest granddaughter show me her kindle last night to show me how many books she had read and was lined up to read. I am guess that a number of Magazine Readers are reading information on these hand held devices. The train ride to and from Salt Lake City reflected this non-scientific study.
Still not a good reason for not having Genealogy Magazines here in the US.
But wait, we are getting ready for Roots Tech 2012, right. Has technology for family researchers / family historians changed how we learn information that might have been in those magazines? I wonder.
I can only tell of my experience. I have learned most of what I know about doing Family Research, not from Magazines, but from those options that have been available to me over the past 15 years.
I learned so much information on the Train by listening to Genealogy PodCasts. DearMYRTLE, Lisa Louise Cook, the GenealogGuys, just to mention a few. Learning on the train, was so much easier my listening to the podcast, then it would have been to read a magazine.
OK, not riding the train, but still not reading Magazines, now it's Google Reader for the 2,000+ Genea-Bloggers that are around. Several hundred blog posts a day, they are free, they come to me, I read what I want, I have the option to go to the Blog post, have the option to post a comment on that blog post, skip over those blog posts that may not be of interest at the moment. But, many time, I have gone back to a Blog to read an earlier message that I remembered that I wanted to re-read.
If I am done with a magazine, it's out the door. The Blog Post remains. Having said that, I have ripped pages our of Magazines, to read later, or I want to hold on to this for later, but I never get back to them. With Blogs, however, I can usually get back to That Blog Post that had what I am looking for now, when I need it.
So, for me, the "magazines" that I used to subscribe to, are now information that is available online, AND in many cases, been updated based on current technology.
Finally, where is your local newsstand where you could buy a Genealogy Magazine. The US magazines that we mentioned were sold, in many cases, by the local newsstand / book store, that doesn't exist any longer. Those stores that sell magazines at all, aren't going to sell a Genealogy Magazine, at least where I live. I used to have one, 30 minutes drive away, but it's closed.
The Technology that we have today, the way we travel, our busy schedules, the availability of Genealogy Articles, written by the best, are not sold on a newsstand, and only a few are available by a subscription. I have a subscription to ONE printed genealogy magazine. At this point if others were available, I am not sure that I would send the money for a physical magazine to come to my mail box.
(didn't even talk about getting rid of that magazine when I was done with it)
Rambling thoughts based on a question "around" an unofficial Genea-Blogger's dinner table.
Any thoughts or comments? I'll pass them along to fM.

Everyone knows significant changes are coming in the Colorado football program in the days ahead now that the Buffs' season is over after their eighth consecutive loss Friday at Folsom Field.
But how extensive those changes might be remains to be seen.
Will the university and athletic department administration decide to wipe the slate clean by firing coach Jon Embree and all of his assistants after a 1-11 season, admitting they made a mistake in allowing themselves to be pressured into hiring a former Buff two years ago? Or will they stick with Embree and allow him to remake his staff and take his offense and defense in new directions in the spring?
Embree seemed confident he will return for a third season when discussing the future during his postgame session with the media. He said his preparations for the 2013 season will begin at 6:30 Sunday night. He also plans to be on the road recruiting most of next week.
It's conceivable Embree could meet with assistant coaches Saturday to inform everyone of where they stand.
If he decides to part ways with coaches such as defensive coordinator Greg Brown or offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, graduate assistant coaches could be used to help fill the gaps in recruiting until replacements are hired. And that might not be until early January after bowl season.
Brown and Bieniemy are assumed to be the most at risk of losing their jobs because they are most responsible for the Buffs ranking at or near the bottom nationally in numerous major statistical categories on both offense and defense.
Bieniemy was asked about his job security as the offensive coordinator after Friday's game.
"Whatever is going to happen is going to happen," he said. "You don't coach this game scared. Everybody is hired to be fired. I'm going to keep working my ass off and being who I am. If they decide to go in a different direction, that's what we do. I know who I am and I know what I'm about.
"You're always disappointed. This is a production-driven industry. You're measured by wins and losses and obviously if you're not winning, then hey, you've always got to take a look at self."
The Buffs were the youngest team in the nation at the outset this season and at times they were even younger than planned with several of the eight seniors on the roster missing major time with injuries. Embree says he is excited about being able to coach his freshmen and redshirt freshmen when they are sophomores, juniors and seniors.
"The one advantage of having all this youth is it all comes back and it comes back mature and obviously with tons of experience," Embree said.
Embree is also planning a move to spread offense that still emphasizes running the ball. He plans to fully implement that change in the spring and summer if he remains in charge. All indications from school officials point toward him being retained.
