Crunch Come Out Flying, Down Bears 6-1
Seeing that there were only four men on the ice after the first Syracuse Crunch line change, Philip-Michael Devos quickly jumped on the ice to join the play.
The center accepted a pass from Richard Panik and fed it to an open Tyler Johnson, who fired the puck past Hershey Bears goalie Braden Holtby to give the Crunch a one-goal lead less than a minute into the game.
"I looked and there were only four guys on the ice, so I'm going to go," Devos said. "I jumped on, and four seconds later, the puck was in the net."
With the tone set early, Syracuse continued to roll, outshooting Hershey 40-21 - including 18-2 in the first period - in a 6-1 victory at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.
"It's always good to bring the crowd in it and start early," Devos said.
Pierre-Cedric Labrie scored his first two goals of the season, once on a rebound off an attempted Cory Conacher wraparound in the first period and again on a loose puck in the Bears' crease in the second.
"Thats my kind of goal," Labrie said. "I'm going to go to the blue paint. (Conacher) made a good try to the front of the net and I'm going to follow him."
In the face-off after Labrie's first tally, the winger dropped the gloves with the Bears' Garrett Mitchell - the first of two Labrie tilts on the night.
"He just came and slashed me, so I gave him another shot," Labrie said.
With an opponent much smaller than his 6-3 frame, Labrie wasn't sure if Mitchell was serious about fighting.
Labrie proceeded to land several uppercuts, drawing blood.
"He was a man of honor, and he will go for his team," he said. "They were losing by two, and I respect that. He was way smaller than me and I wasn't sure if he really wanted to go."
After Panik and Hershey's Alex Berry got tied up in the Bears' bench, Labrie found another willing dance partner.
"I was just telling him that he can't do that," Labrie said. "At first he didn't want to really, and was telling me to watch the video, but I can't let that happen."
The big win, along with some of the extracurriculars, had the Crunch lockerroom buzzing after the game.
"I don't even feel exhausted right now," Labrie said. "Sure, I had a 10 minute break."
The game was a complete turnaround for the Crunch, who had lost three straight at home coming into the contest.
"This week, all we did was practice on a system," Labrie said. "That's what happens. That's the real team you saw tonight."
Danick Gauthier posted his first professional goal after JT Wyman stole a Hershey pass, Brett Connolly scored on a rebound after JT Brown drove the net on a rebound, and Mark Barberio's wrister from the point rounded out the Crunch scoring. Thirteen Syracuse players finished with at least one point.
The Crunch got to Bears goalie Braden Holtby early and often, chasing him from the game with four minutes left in the second period. Holtby stopped 24 of 28 shots, and Dany Sabourin turned away 10 of 12 shots in relief. Syracuse netminder Dustin Tokarski was nearly perfect with 20 saves, only letting a Mike Carman shot by him in the second.
"We have confidence, that's for sure," Devos said. "But tomorrow is a new game against a new team. We have to be ready."
First place in the East Division, Syracuse (8-2-1-1) looks to keep the momentum going when they host the Adirondack Phantoms Saturday. The Crunch will then visit the Bears Sunday.
"If we do the same thing as tonight," Labrie said. "We're fresh…If we keep doing that, three-in-three will be no problem for us."

SOURCE: "The Enclosure of America: Civilization and Confinement in Willa Cather's O'Pioneer!" American Literature, 75 (June 2003): 275-302.
In the following essay,
Willa Cather's public persona turns on the rhetoric of wide-open space. Since the beginning of Cather's career, journalists have romanticized the wild Willa of the prairie, often obscuring the relative refinement of the Cather family. The mature Cather, too, is pictured as most at home in the open air; a 1921 piece in the Lincoln Sunday Star is representative: "Miss Cather had elected to take her interview out-of-doors in the autumnal sunshine, walking. The fact is characteristic. She is an outdoor person, not far different in type from the pioneers and prima donnas whom she exalts."1 The analog to the legend of Willa Cather, hoyden and pioneer, is the language in which the evolution of her literary career is described. Her art is commonly evaluated in spatial terms. "[Cather's...

"Homeland's" Mandy Patinkin (Holla!) plays hirsute CIA agent Saul Berenson, a terrorist hunter with a soft side. But Patinkin's political passions were on full display during Wednesday night's episode of "The Colbert Report," when the discussion veered from beards to terrorism.
"From being in this show are you less or more frightened about terrorism," Colbert asked. "Does it calm you down or key you up?"
When Patinkin replied that he wasn't afraid, Colbert asked, "If you're not frightened about terrorism, then aren't you the problem?"
"I am frightened of the roots that cause what we call terrorism. ... I do blame American, partially. I blame the other side equally," Patinkin said. He praised "Homeland" for taking "the opportunity to present both sides equally."
"Are you not responsible at all for ANYTHING that goes on in the rest of the world?" Patinkin finally lashed at Colbert, arms waving.
Things calmed down, however, when the two joined Michael Stipe for a rendition of "Good King Wenceslas." The holidays can bring anyone together.

This was supposed to be the "Year of the Tablet" but Black Friday dispatches from the mall keep pointing to strong sales of big-screen TVs.
So what gives? Didn't shoppers get the memo?
One retail industry consultant said she talked to a reporter Friday morning who took a break from interviewing shoppers to snag a TV for herself!
Wow, that must've been some deal.
"The day should really be coined 'Big Screen TV Day' 'cause that's basically all I saw leaving the stores," quipped Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions. He said the trend wasn't due to some deal limited to the first 20 people in line either — it was more widespread than that.

Djokovic: French Open my No. 1 target in 2013
The Mubadala Tennis Championship is live on ESPN. Click for details on how to subscribe.
Novak Djokovic has made winning the French Open his top priority in 2013 as he bids to complete a career Grand Slam.
Djokovic, who kicks off the new season at the Mubadala Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi this week, is the defending champion in Melbourne, where he will be bidding to win a fourth Australian Open title.
The Serb fell agonisingly short in his bid to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four major titles when he was beaten in the French Open final by Nadal, who won the title for a record seventh time.
While Djokovic says he would love to win all four majors in 2013, the French Open is the main goal as he bids to become only the eighth man in the open era to complete the set.
The world No. 1 ended the year on a high with victory at the ATP World Tour Finals in London, and is hoping to continue where he left off and hit the ground running in 2013.
"Right now I can approach a new season with a lot of confidence because I won the last big tournament of the year in London and hoping that I can continue playing well," Djokovic said. "So ambitions are always high. I want to win every grand slam that I play, want to win every big tournament that I play. So there is no difference for the next year's ambition.
"Roland Garros is always at the top of my priority list and ambitions. It's the only slam I haven't won. I played in the final, which is a step further than ever before, this year. It was an incredible final and a great experience also."

Global hedge fund EQA Partners, LP needed to build a comprehensive system for handling all functions of their company.
EQA's team of programmers developed an enterprise-wide package with Wolfram technologies that now manages the flow of data from markets through trading to investor reporting—a streamlined process that provides huge time- and cost-saving benefits to the company.
According to Chief Risk Officer Philip Zecher, having all the data go through one system improves their ability to quickly analyze market conditions and respond to investors' requests, and greatly reduces data errors.
Using the Wolfram Language, which Zecher says "seriously cut down" development time, and webMathematica's deployment options, EQA has built a comprehensive data and analysis platform that delivers quick and accurate information. "To be able to show clients the straight-through processing that we do is valuable to them from a confidence perspective," says Zecher. "To them, it's a very consistent system that gives them the numbers they want in a real-time fashion. And they're accurate."

A Kindle e-reader with Wi-Fi is a great choice if you already have a high-speed internet connection and wireless router set up in your home. If you do not have Wi-Fi set up at home, a free cellular connectivity model may be a better option—free cellular connectivity lets you download books anytime, anywhere.
Wi-Fi + Free Cellular Connectivity
A Kindle e-reader with Wi-Fi + free cellular connectivity is the easiest option because there is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box. Built-in free cellular connectivity uses the same wireless signals that cell phones use, but there are no monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for cellular connectivity. The added convenience of cellular connectivity enables you to download books anytime, anywhere, without having to find a Wi-Fi hotspot connection. Your Kindle e-reader may use wireless connectivity to make other services available, such as wireless delivery of personal documents, which may require an additional charge. For more information, see Amazon Device Terms of Use.
With wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, free cellular connectivity lets you download books anytime, anywhere, whether you're relaxing on a beach, halfway through a hike, or waiting on the tarmac. Check cellular connectivity coverage area.
For U.S. customers traveling abroad, additional charges apply for wireless delivery of periodical subscriptions. To avoid any charges, you can always use a Wi-Fi connection or download items via your computer and transfer them to your Kindle using USB.
Some books may not be eligible for download over cellular connectivity, including promotional content or where indicated on a book detail page.
Customize to your language
Kindle can be used in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Dutch, and Simplified Chinese. You can easily select the language that you are most comfortable with, and enjoy instant dictionary lookups in any of these languages.
Read books in other languages
Kindle supports the display of non-Latin characters, so you can read books and documents in your favorite language, including enhanced support for Japanese and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Kindle also displays Korean, Cyrillic, Latin, and Greek scripts, and provides free access to several international dictionaries.
Follow along with page numbers
We match the pages of a Kindle book to the text in a print book to identify the corresponding page number. Easily reference and cite passages or read alongside others in a book club or class.

I'm here to tell you that the kindle is the perfect balance of book and digital format.
Yes, you should buy a kindle. Get the paperwhite with no ads. You're welcome.
I love physical books too, I'm with you. But I know myself, and I know that once I forget to take the book I'm reading with me, that's it. I'll start another book and rarely finish the first. I also know if I try and read on my phone or iPad that I'll get distracted and start wondering about what's happening on the internet (Instagram's not gonna scroll ITSELF). Either way I'm not finishing the book.
The kindle takes the best of both worlds and mashes them together. The e ink display is honestly incredible. I wish iPhones had an e ink display. It really looks just like a printed page. So you get the experience of reading a physical paper book, but with the perks of being digital.
- Share what book you're reading to Goodreads, Facebook, or twitter (so you can look SMORT)
- Built in dictionary (so you can learn the proper spelling of the word SMORT)
- Export your highlights as a PDF
Plus, it'll also sync with the kindle app on your phone so you can squeeze in the final few pages of the chapter while you're in the bathroom (don't pretend you don't do that. You're either on your phone or you're reading the febreeze ingredients)
The backlight looks great. It's a perfect size. And because it's one page at a time, you overcome another annoyance of physical books: you can read laying down in bed without the awkward "I just need to hold the book weird like this for a second while I finish the left page, then I'll be on the right page and can relax" situation. It's great.
You can check out library books digitally without leaving your house. And yes, you can make highlights and export those as a PDF (to answer your next question, yes, you could technically highlight the whole book, but that would take more time than it's worth).
Get the one without ads. Remember the problem with reading on your phone? Distractions. Why would you buy a device that ONLY does one thing exceptionally well (isolated reading) and then ruin the experience with ads about products you should buy? Now you're thinking about "oh right, I gotta get my oil changed" or "what am I gonna make for dinner?" instead of whether Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are really ever going to get together.
And no, you don't need a more expensive kindle. This one works great and the other ones don't give you much more for the money. Get the wifi only model (please, you're REALLY going to use the 3G to download books on the go? Get real).
And yes, this is the best e-reader out there. Come on, it's Amazon. ANY book you want is a few taps away.
Kindle Paperwhite (wifi only, cuz really, you're gonna use 3G??) with no ads.
You're furiggin welcome.
Now I have had my new Kindle for 2 1/2 months, and the internal clock will no longer keep time. The device is, of course, still under warranty, but it took a couple of hours on the phone (with folks I had a great deal of difficulty understanding) before Amazon finally agreed to send me a new device. Frankly, the amount of time I spent with Kindle Support (my time and theirs) was worth more than the price of a new device.
What was once a great customer service organization has become more of an obstacle than a help. It seems almost as though the goal is to frustrate the customer to the point where he/she just gives up and lives with whatever problem they have. I am very sorry to have to say this.
As a background, I am a retired Information Systems professional and I am writing this review from the perspective of being a long-time Kindle user. I have all the current e-readers and Fire devices from Amazon including the basic Kindle, the 2013, 2014 and new 2015 Paperwhite, the Fire HD6, Fire HD7, Fire HDX7 and Fire HDX8.9. This review is for the 2015 "All-New Kindle Paperwhite." The attached picture shows the 2014 Kindle on the left and the new 2015 Kindle on the right. Here is the summary of my initial impressions of the 2015 model versus the 2014 model.
I am somewhat disappointed in the 2015 version as there is not a huge improvement over last year's model. The Paperwhite made many improvements from its original first generation 2012 model to its second generation 2013 model, especially in the display and processor area. The 2013 model came with 2 GB storage, a wonderful display, a great battery and was the e-book "workhorse." The second generation 2014 model changed by only increasing storage to 4 GB. The third generation 2015 model increased the display resolution but reduced the battery life slightly.
WHAT COMES IN THE BOX: A Paperwhite device, a quick-start guide and a short USB cord. Amazon still does not supply a power adapter.
SIZE: It's the same identical size as the older Paperwhites. The weight has been reduced slightly from 7.3 to 7.2 ounces, a fraction of an ounce, most likely because of a smaller battery.
The good news is that all cases that fit the other Paperwhites will fit the 2015 version!!
DISPLAY: The resolution has been bumped up to 300 ppi, equivalent to the Voyage. However, in practical use, I can't tell the difference unless I put an earlier version next to the new version for comparison. Unfortunately, when I place them side-by-side, I noticed that the new Paperwhite is not quite as bright as the older models when set at the same brightness level. This is more noticeable at lower settings. Also, my Kindle has a slight shadow area along the bottom that appears as a small gray smudge and isn't quite as evenly lit as the rest of the display. It is very small but noticeable. The logo on the bottom of the screen is now shiny black against matte black on the plastic case instead of being displayed in silver lettering. It's difficult to see except when viewing the shiny "Kindle" reflection at an angle to light.
(September 2015 update: The Kindle logo is how I tell my new 2015 Paperwhite and older Paperwhites apart. They are that similar!)
BATTERY: The battery of the 2013 and 2014 Paperwhites are rated a third larger than the new model. And it is noticeable! When operating simultaneously, the new PW battery drains much faster. It is currently rated at 6 weeks of ½ hour average daily usage versus 8 weeks for the older models. That specification translates to 21 hours of use versus 28 hours of use for the older models.
(September 2015 update: I was on a week-long vacation trip but forgot my chargers. I had the 2014 Kindle with me, and as I was on vacation, I read a lot. The battery lasted--barely--the entire vacation. Given the shorter battery life, the 2015 model would have lost power before I came home. Normally, this shouldn't be an issue for most people as the 2015 battery does last a long time. But.... I am so spoilt by not having to carry a charger on trips, even long trips.)
STORAGE: Nothing has changed. It comes with the same 4 GB of storage. Mine netted 2990 MB free space from the factory. This number will vary slightly from device to device depending on the actual hard drive.
HARDWARE: Alas, there is still no audio with the Paperwhite. So you still can't play songs in the background or listen to Audible books. If you need audio features, you may want to look at the Kindle Fire lineup as audio capabilities are not available on the PaperWhite, standard Kindle, or the Kindle Voyage. (September 2015 update: I still wish I could listen to Audible books like you could on the Kindle Keyboard.)
Wifi: Nothing has changed. I had hoped for an upgrade to 802.11ac or at least add the less crowded 5-Ghz range of wifi. If you are in a wifi crowded area, you will need to be closer to your router to download books. While the Paperwhite does not use a lot of bandwidth, it does need to be able to communicate with a router for WhisperSync to work and to download books.
It is possible that the new Kindle Paperwhite either has a slightly faster processor, or more likely, the memory has been upgraded from 512MB to 1024MB to match the Voyage. I have over a thousand books installed. To keep track of what I have, all books are added to collections, such as "Reading Queue" for those I have not read but want to read, and "Already Read" for those books I have already read. In addition, my books are also categorized by genre collections such as "Crime/Mystery/Thriller," "SciFi/Fantasy," "Historical Fiction," "Romance," etc. Categorizing my books helps me considerably when I wish to find a new book to read in my library which I have not read and what I want is a Mystery novel, but not a SciFi. When I download a new book and try to add it to the appropriate collections for later enjoyment, the process can be extremely slow, so slow that sometimes, I am not sure that I have even touched the check box in the add-to-collection screen because it takes forever to respond. The 2015 Kindle seems to be faster in that area.
(September 2015 update: I've noticed that the speed is directly related to the strength and quality of the WiFi signal. I am in a crowded WiFi area and although I can get a fairly good signal, the speed definitely degrades when I am not in the same room as the router. I still wish it had a 5Ghz antennae as that bandwidth is less crowded and faster.)
SOFTWARE: The user interface on the new Paperwhite is identical to the old Paperwhite except that the new Paperwhite comes with the Bookerly font installed. Those who own one of the new Fire tablets already have the Bookerly font for comparison. Personally, on the Paperwhite, I like the Caecilian and Palatino fonts as much as I do the Bookerly. It seems that the best font for reading changes depending on the book and the magnification of the font. (There are still eight size magnifications.) However, the firmware version installed with my 2015 Paperwhite was a version behind. The Firmware Version installed on the 2015 model is Kindle 184.108.40.206 (2634130033) versus Kindle 126.96.36.199 (263439002) installed on my 2014 model.
(September 2015 update: Amazon has updated the software on all their Kindles so the Bookerly font is available on all the devices.)
WITH SPECIAL OFFERS OR WITHOUT?? If you buy a case that automatically shuts the device off when closed and turns on when opened, I strongly recommend paying the extra $20 for removing the ads. If you have special offers, the Kindle still needs to be swiped from the lock screen to get to the page of the book where you left off. If you do NOT have special offers, when you open your case, you are immediately brought to the book and page where you stopped reading. No lock screen! Having a Kindle Paperwhite without special offers is wonderful. Open up the case, Kindle turns on and you pick up right where you left off. Close the case and it turns off. No extra finger swipes! This is true only for the Kindle e-readers. The Fire tablets continue to open up to the lock screen which must be swiped irrelevant of whether you have special offers or not.
NOTE: I received the advanced order of the 2015 Paperwhite on June 30. I was not able to order the device without special offers. Normally, you should be able to pay the upgrade difference online to remove special offers. Unfortunately, the device that I have received does not have an option to remove special offers for this device only! I do not know if this option will be available for all new orders or if they will correct the oversight in the future. So, order the device without special offers if you think you will ultimately want that because it is possible that you will not be able to remove them in the future.
(September 2015 update: Amazon fixed the option to remove special offers. And I still recommend that you buy it without special offers if you use a case that automatically turns it on and off.)
This is what has changed from the 2014 model.
PLUS: Higher resolution screen with Bookerly font. Possibly quicker when managing large numbers of books. (September 2015 update: Bookerly font is now available on all Kindle devices including older Paperwhites)
MINUS: A smaller battery and shorter time life between charges. No power adapter.
NEUTRAL: The "kindle" logo at the bottom of the 2015 model is now black on black instead of the silver color at the bottom front of the 2014 model.
(September 2015 update: The Kindle logo is how I tell my newer and older Paperwhites apart.)
THE VERDICT: The new Paperwhite is still the state-of-the-art e-ink e-book reader. The only things I can think of to improve the Paperwhite is to add a power adapter, a longer USB cord, bring back the longer battery life of the earlier model and perhaps make it waterproof.
(September 2015 update: the Paperwhite is still my favorite reader. I also like the Voyage but not enough to justify the huge price difference.)
Although the Paperwhite is only an e-reader and not a tablet, there are other considerations:
* No distraction from email
* No distractions from text messages
* No distractions from phone calls.
SHOULD YOU BUY? If you own last year's Paperwhite - I don't think it is worth the upgrade. If you do not own an e-reader or have a 2012 or earlier Kindle version, definitely get the Paperwhite. It has the best mix of features for the price compared to the other Kindle e-reader models. If you are considering upgrading from the current basic $79 Kindle, definitely get the Paperwhite. If you are considering whether to get the Voyage or the Paperwhite, ask yourself, "Is getting the Page Press area at the edge of the screen worth an additional $80?" If not, get the Paperwhite.
(September 2015 update: I really like both the Paperwhite and the Voyage. But I can't tell you which one to buy. If you are the type that will buy a Cadillac instead of a Chevy, buy the Voyage. It is definitely a very nice reader. Personally, I like the Paperwhite. Even though the Voyage is slightly smaller and lighter in the hand, there is something about the Paperwhite that makes me grab it instead.)
For reading, I prefer the Paperwhite over all the readers including the Fire tablets, the basic Kindle and even the Voyage. It's optimized for readers and reasonably priced. You can throw it in your purse or pocket for traveling, even for reading in the doctor's office waiting room. If you forget to charge it overnight, it will still have enough juice to get you through the next day or two. You can read it on the beach in BRIGHT, BRIGHT sunlight or at night under DARK, DARK moonlight. Whether you sit on the front porch or hide under the bed covers, you can enjoy reading books with the Paperwhite. In addition, there is a huge selection of case styles and colors to trick out your Kindle to match your personality and reading style.
If you want to save a little money, Amazon is currently selling the 2014 model for $109. Although it doesn't have the Bookerly font, it does have a better battery. You can't go wrong with the 2014 model either, especially when it is slightly cheaper.
(September 2015 update: My older Paperwhites have been updated with new software and now all have the Bookerly font. Unfortunately, the 2014 model is no longer available for sale through Amazon.)
FOR NEWBIES: You might want to explore the following features.
VOCABULARY BUILDER: The Amazon Kindles have a tool called Vocabulary Builder which is not available in the Fire tablets. Vocabulary Builder is supposed to help you learn new words while you read: words you look up in the Kindle's dictionary are stored in Vocabulary Builder. You can review those words, test yourself with flash cards, even see where in a book you highlighted the word and remove the word from your list when you've mastered it.
PAGE FLIP: When you're on a page, swipe up from the bottom, and a slightly smaller pop-up of the page appears. The pop-up has page turn arrows to go back or go forward in the book (you can also just swipe the pop-up page). When you're ready to return to your original page, press the "X" in the upper right corner of the pop-up, and the pop-up page goes away.
HIGHLIGHT: The highlight feature allows you to highlight (in black-and-white of course) a particular passage in a book and save it so you can go back to it at a later time. You also have the option of turning on an option that shows you other popular highlights from other readers of the book. This is a VERY useful feature, especially for non-fiction books as 99% of the time, the highlights other users have made point out very important sentences and paragraphs in the book. Note that this feature does not show EVERY reader's highlights, it only shows the most popular ones and even tells you how many readers have highlighted a particular section. This can be turned on or off if you find it distracting.

LeTourneau University has named Dr. Terry Dale Cruse as its new Vice President for Enrollment Services, effective Aug. 26. Cruse will lead the university's traditional and nontraditional student enrollment initiatives. He will also partner with the academic deans to establish meaningful relationships with corporations, churches and other institutions to advance the university's enrollment goals.
Cruse comes to LETU from Missouri Baptist University where he has served for eight years, moving up the ranks from director of undergraduate admissions to dean of enrollment and later as the institution's first vice president for enrollment services. Under his leadership, MBU experienced significant increases in retention and student enrollment.
"Terry is someone with a creative mind and abounding, contagious Christian commitment and a proven record for increasing enrollment and retention," said LETU Provost Dr. Philip A. Coyle. "Terry will assume a significant role in partnerships with our LETU academic deans in establishing meaningful relationship with corporations, churches and other institutions to advance enrollment goals at LeTourneau University."
Cruse earned both his bachelor's degree in journalism with a public relations emphasis and his master's degree in education from William Carey University and his Ed.D. in Higher Education from St. Louis University.
Cruse represented MBU on the Higher Education Council of the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association and served as president of the National Association of Baptist Enrollment Professionals. He is a member of the National Association for College Admissions Counselors, American Association of College Registrars an Admissions Officers, and recently served as president of the National Association of Baptist Enrollment Professionals.
He and his wife, Pam, have been active members of their church where Terry served as a deacon, a member of the youth and children's ministries, a member of the senior pastor search committee and the chairman of the finance committee. His wife has been active in women's ministry, teaching Sunday school, and serving on the church's business committee. They have three young daughters.

My son, Jack, asked me The Question one evening while watching Olivia on Nick Jr. It was triggered by a scene where Olivia's father helps her look for her superspecial red-and-white tights. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I took a breath and tried again. "Bud," I said, placing my hand on top of his little chubby one, "sometimes kids just live with their mommies, like you and me, okay?" He didn't skip a beat. He asked again. A pang of anxiety came over me—I felt like I might throw up. "He lives far away and you live here with me, and I love you so much." I zipped a Matchbox car in front of him and blurted out, "Zooooom!" He's 3. The toy distracted him—for now. I shut off the television and read him a book that didn't have a daddy character. That night I lay in bed feeling anxious and frustrated. Jack's father left when I was 11 weeks pregnant. He has a new family now and, for his own reasons, refuses to see his son. Sometimes I just don't know what to say or how to say it. But chances are that on my street, in my neighborhood, there are other moms and dads dealing with a similar situation.
City by city, the single-parent population is growing: One quarter of all children under 21 live with only one of their parents, and 41 percent of all births in the U.S. are to unmarried women. While a family used to be love-marriage-and-a-baby-carriage, the public does not see that paradigm as the only path anymore. In fact, 86 percent say a single parent and a child equals a family, according to a new Pew Research Center nationwide survey, conducted in association with Time magazine.
As a 30-year-old single mom raising a nearly 4-year-old boy with no physical participation from his father, I couldn't agree more. My son and I are a beautiful, proud family. But there's a lot to navigate and explain to my little guy. As you can imagine, kids have plenty of questions about the complicated yet increasingly common world of single parenthood and co-parenting.
"Is Daddy moving out?"
Divorce is a stressful and life-changing event for the adults involved, but at least we have the capability of understanding what it means—a preschooler does not. "During this time, the child does not have the ability to take on another person's viewpoint. The only viewpoint he sees is his own," explains Maria Elena Misito, a psychotherapist specializing in adolescents and adults in Wayne, NJ.
You'll want to succintly explain what's going on so the child doesn't come up with his own assumptions, but as a general rule, Misito recommends not telling him too far in advance. "It's important not to share the news with a preschooler the moment you and your spouse decide it's over, because getting divorced doesn't happen overnight and the anticipation of this major change will cause undue anxiety."
Keep the explanation short and simple: Mommy and Daddy haven't been getting along and someone is moving out. Explain that this change will come with "special" alone time with each parent. "Give specific examples of what will remain the same," advises Misito. "'Mommy will still read you a bedtime story every night; Daddy will still take you to your favorite place for breakfast every Saturday.'"

"Who is that sleeping in your bed, Daddy?"
It's inevitable that single or divorced parents are going to date other people, form new relationships, and come to a point where they have to introduce their child to this new person.
Rachel Sarah is the author of Single Mom Seeking, co-founder of singlemommyhood.com, and a former single mom for ten years. "When my daughter was three, I introduced her to the man I was seeing without using the word 'dating,'" she says. "I said, 'We're going out for ice cream with one of Mommy's friends. His name is Sean.'"
This G-rated example is a safe way to get your child acquainted with a new love interest, but the reality is things can become PG-13 very quickly. When there's an impromptu sleepover, what then? There is no upside to letting your child see you in bed with someone, says Leah Klungness, Ph.D., a psychologist and coauthor of The Complete Single Mother. "If she does see you in bed, simply ask her what she needs and reassure her that you'll be right there to help. If you make a big deal about being caught, it's your startled reaction that will likely upset the child. Calm, cool, and matter-of-fact is the best way to deal." But Klungness has this addendum: "While setting appropriate boundaries for yourself is important, you don't need your child's permission to have a fulfilling sexual life."
"Is that pretty lady my new mommy?"
When Matt Logelin's wife and high school sweetheart, Liz, died 27 hours after giving birth to their now 3-year-old daughter, Madeline, the Los Angeles resident became an instant single father. For several years it was just Logelin and his little girl, traveling, playing, blogging about their adventures. Falling in love was far from his mind. That was before he met Brooke while visiting family for the holidays in Minnesota.
Roughly half a year later, Matt had to tell his daughter that Brooke was moving in. "Madeline didn't know what I was talking about. I could have told her Elmo was coming to live with us," says Logelin, who chronicled his story in Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss & Love.
"There are cognitive limitations at two years old, so this is as far as Matt could have gone really," notes Misito. "What the parent should do is focus on all of the wonderful things that are going to happen in sharing a life together as a family, while at the same time reminding the child that the person isn't taking her biological mom's place." Logelin has done just that. "There are photos of Liz on the walls, and a lot of her things are still in the house," he notes. And Liz's presence is memorialized beyond just pictures and mementos. "I love to hear the girls in the kitchen together. Brooke tells Madeline that the stool she's standing on is the one that her four-foot eleven-inch mother used to get things out of the cupboard."

"Why doesn't Daddy want to see me?"
Now that my son is nearly 4, he has some curiosity about the father he's never met. According to Misito, I may never be able to fully satisfy his interest. "Unfortunately, there is not an answer that will completely resolve your child's questions once and for all," she says. "In fact, the child will ask the same questions over and over again about the 'absent' parent."
Don't panic. Be patient and answer the questions clearly and consistently each time. Avoid bad-mouthing the absent parent, no matter how hard it may be, because your child may develop a relationship with him one day. "The most important thing for parents to remember is that they must keep all negative feelings about their ex to themselves," Misito says. "Although this is easier said than done, the effects on the child can be detrimental."
Peggy Drexler, Ph.D., the author of Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms Are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men, suggests saying something positive—but honest—about the absent parent to address any questions. ("I know he is really good at running, just like you.") Drexler cautions that showing a picture of an absent-by-choice parent isn't the best move. "A growing child needs to be able to focus on successfully passing through his own developmental stages without distraction, worry, or preoccupations that are not solvable—like an adult who refuses to visit his child."
Don't be surprised if your child breaks your heart and says "But why doesn't Daddy want to see me?" When he does, try this: "I don't know why your daddy has made the choice not to visit us. But there is one thing I do know for sure: His choice has nothing to do with you."
"Mom, why do you sit down when you pee?"
Doug Downey, Ph.D., a professor of sociology at Ohio State University, in Columbus, coauthored a study about the benefit of single moms raising daughters and single dads raising sons. Apparently, there is none. "The research revealed no evidence that a same-sex advantage shows up after a family breaks up or even when the children reach adulthood," explains Downey. While this is excellent news, it doesn't mean we won't get tongue-tied when cringe-worthy questions come up.
"Mommy, why don't you stand and pee like me?" Jack said to me after he barged into the bathroom and caught me with my pants down. "Almost all parents are caught in the buff by their children at some point," Drexler says. "The best response is to be relaxed and tell them that they've done nothing wrong by glimpsing you." Wait until your child starts to ask questions, then answer simply: "I sit to pee because I have a vagina, and you stand because you have a penis, and it works best like that."
Interestingly, when it comes to body parts and bodily functions, single moms don't have it much different than mothers in traditional two-parent households. "In mom-and-dad families, the average amount of time fathers spend with their children is still substantially less than the time spent with Mom," Drexler says. "My point here is 'Relax, single moms,' because for most boys, it's usually the mother who explains issues related to the body."
When inquiring children want answers to loaded questions, short and sweet is best. "Keep the response simple, factual, and age-appropriate," advises Klungness.
Finally, consistently remind them that you'll always be there. I've learned there are many ways to do just that. One day when I was loading Jack into his car seat, we both heard faint chirping coming from atop our condo's garage.
"What's that?" Jack asked. When I looked closer, I saw a bird in her nest, surrounded by downy chicks. The mother was calm and still as the little ones mingled around her. "Jack! That mommy bird has baby birds." I lifted him up to see.
"Whoa. What is she doing up there?" His big brown eyes looked so curious, and a bit concerned, too.
"She's taking care of her babies."
"Cool!" said Jack.

If you need me
I'll be right here. For like a week or so.
Well if I'm not in the kitchen I will be right here. I am wondering why I've signed myself up for a 5mile run on Thanksgiving morning instead of choosing to be right here. I do imagine everything will taste 5x as good after the run, so that's something. And that spot on the left of the couch there, right up against the log cabin pillow, situated and stretched out just right so the bottoms of me feet are warmed by my hubby at the other end in his spot, yes, even that will feel 5x better after a long run, and a warm meal. (That's what I tell myself when I cry a little on the inside about 5 miles in the cold.)
What do you think?!! Look! The living room was clean for like a half of a second so I took a quick pic of the gallery side. We are really enjoying it. Feels just right, wall-color-wise.
In other news Cash the puppy ate my only pair of knitting needles. In other other news Cash the puppy ate my only pair of eye GLASSES. Glasses. (You may remember the storied pair of glasses.) I am so confused. Glasses don't even taste like anything. I can see where bamboo knitting needles are wood, and dogs chew wood. Just like remembering newborns all over again, with puppies (particularly labs I think) you really forget what you are dealing with until you are holding several pieces of what were formerly a pair of tacky grandma from Miami Versace zebra striped eye glasses. Hmpf.
Good try Cash the puppy, but I have contact lenses and new knitting needles and I still love you.
good weekend! xo, AM

The wall is gorgeous! My puppy (who was almost 2 yrs old at the time and weighs all of 6 lbs) ate my glasses once. I didn't get it, either. :)ReplyDelete
What a pup!ReplyDelete
Anna Maria, I am so excited for your Thanksgiving morning plan... go, Go, GO! I'll be thinking of you, and cheering you on. And I agree, your hard won meal and comfy time will be, at least, 5x more wonderful. Enjoy!
I am impressed with your plans. I don't think I could run a 5K if someone was chasing me. If I had a room that gorgeous I think I might never leave. Ever.ReplyDelete
Have fun on your run and reaping the rewards!
very beautiful and impressing. I like the dark color o your wall and was even thinking of painting mine dark colored. Very convincing - thanks a million ! And all the best for your run.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous, gallery wall. Slowly, slowly trying to surround myself and my family with as much handmade beauty as you have. I have to stick to stitching though. Only my two year old appreciates my drawing! Also, my dog eats my quilts (http://growingberries.blogspot.fr/2012/03/dog-ate-my-quilt.html) watch out!!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful room! I love the colours you've chosen :) Best of luck for your run! xxReplyDelete
I have a 9 month old lab mix, and exactly one (1)! pair of glasses left completely intact. My parents are both optometrists and I had amassed quite a collection, but one by one, I forgot to put them away properly and they were chewed upon, bent out of shape, had the lenses removed from the frames, etc. The pair I'm wearing as I type has teeth marks on the lenses and the ear pieces are an inch or two shorter than they use to be! Oh well, puppies...they're worth it, they're worth it (keep repeating until you believe it).ReplyDelete
We are painting a door in our basement that colour. I wonder if I was subliminally influenced by you?ReplyDelete
Labs seem to calm down around 2 years of age as I remember! Our little Papillon chews up everything he can get his teeth on! Drives me crazy and he is almost 2!ReplyDelete
I laughed reading your post about Cash since last month our pit bull pup ate my only pair of glasses. This is in addition to numerous pens, Legos, slippers, Nerf bullets, homework...you get the idea. The most memorable item thus far, though, has been my oldest son's Boy Scout merit badge. I had to ask the Scoutmaster if he could order another one (that I would pay for) since I wasn't about to sew on the one that was (successfully) pooped out :)ReplyDelete
Oh, yes, labs chew everything for about the first year or so. Mine even chewed a piece off the siding of our house, ate cigarette butts from construction workers that were at our house, chewed through wires, and bit a hole in the screen door. Despite the fact they are known for their "soft" mouths, when they are pups they use those little teeth to chew everything.ReplyDelete
Sorry to say that I was told the following by an employee at the Guide Dogs a few years ago when we received a lab that didn't make the cut as a Guide Dog... "labradors chew till they're 2 and shred till they're dead!" Our lab is now 4 and although now more discerning in her chewing habits...still will chew things she shouldn't!ReplyDelete

Make structure clear, and provide navigation to reinforce it. Your form will be divisible into sections so think about the broad groups of questions being asked. Whatever your groups of questions are, make sure they follow the right order and give the groups clear section names. Make the form sections visually distinct by setting the section name in bigger and bolder type, and consider including a contents list on the first page or screen to help people navigate their way through the form. Also make sure that you make good use of features like running headers and footers on every page to remind people what the form is, where they are, and what page number they are on.
Pre-fill where at all possible. If a person has already filled in a form for your organisation they will be frustrated if they have to fill in the same information again. It is difficult for organisations to get their systems to pre-fill known information but when pre-filling is achieved, customers really feel valued.
