On New Year's Eve, the San Diego Padres traded two pitching prospects to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Carlos Quentin.
This is just the latest in a number of moves by new GM Josh Byrnes to shake up the roster and improve upon the Padres' 71-91 record last year.
On the one hand, the move makes sense in that the Padres are essentially a powerless team. Last year, the Padres ranked dead last in team slugging. Even with Adrian Gonzalez in their lineup in 2010, the team still came in 2nd to last in terms of slugging.
Quentin is a no-doubt power guy, sporting the 12th highest Isolated Power (ISO) score in all of baseball since 2008. So at first glance this deal seemingly fills a big hole for the Pads.
However, the elephant in the room is Petco Park.
Soon after taking the helm as GM, Byrnes went on Clubhouse Confidential and was asked about how he would select hitters given the issues with Petco.
We know things like exit speed off the bat. So a ball hit at 108 mph off the bat, what are the rewards around major league baseball for that quality of contact and how is it affected at Petco.
Petco is in the lower quarter of parks in terms of allowing home runs, and is generally a wasteland when it comes to left handed hitters pulling the ball. According to StatCorner, Petco is 5% harder than other parks on right handed hitters when it comes to home runs, but 41% harder on left handed hitters.
So this plays into Brynes' favor in terms of bringing in Quentin, who hits from the right side. However, Quentin benefited from U.S. Cellular's beneficial split for right handed batters (+38% HR for right handed batters).
What about exit speed?
Since 2008, Quentin has averaged an exit speed of 103.9 mph on his home runs according to ESPN's Home Run Tracker. Last year, Quentin averaged 105.1 mph. And while Quentin was not the at the very top of the leader board for exit speed, he's generally known as one of the stronger hitters in the league. Given this--and whatever else Brynes' analytics team has found regarding Hit f/x type data and Petco--I wonder if the Padres GM saw a power guy that was relatively cheap and obtainable in the short term who would help bolster the team's power. At worst, it provides them with a relatively inexpensive experiment to test their theories.
That being said, this isn't a no-brainer. Quentin doesn't really walk (his OBP is boosted more from HBP's than BB's), is a poor fielder moving to a spacious outfield, and is always a risk to land on the DL. Additionally, he's a free agent next year. A good season at Petco will certainly increase the price tag if they want to keep him long term (unless they manage to sign him to an extension now).
On the flip side, a down year at Petco might decrease his trade value next year as some GM's might not want to take on the risk that a deflation in his power numbers was simply a function of his new home ballpark.

The University of Hawaii's ALOHA Cabled Observatory is located 100 km north of the island of Oahu, Hawaii (22 45'N, 158W) in the North Pacific Ocean. It provides real-time oceanographic observations from a depth of about 4,800 m via a submarine fiber optic cable that comes ashore at Makaha on Oahu. In addition to ocean sounds, continuous observations of temperature, salinity, and ocean currents are obtained and shared with the oceanographic community and the general public.

8.2 magnitude Chile earthquake recorded by the ACO
April 2nd, 2014 Chile earthquake, magnitude 8.2, detected by the ACO broadband hydrophone. The x axis is UTC time in hh:mm:ss. The red curve shows the energy band-passed between 0.01-0.15 Hz and the blue curve is the data from 3.5 -10 Hz. The large high frequency signal is the T-phase arrival from the earthquake source. (graphic by Fred Duennebier)
2011-2012 and 2013 cold water events observed by ACO
This graphic shows potential temperature and salinity from the ALOHA Cabled Observatory, along with the values from near-bottom CTD measurements about 1.8 km away during HOT cruises, the most recent being HOT-254 that returned on September 14, 2013.
This shows that a very dramatic cold event occurred over the last three weeks, with a peak-to-trough change of 0.02 C. It is typically thought that day-to-day changes in the abyss (away from deep convection) are only of order 0.001 C.
We can see a drawn out warming/recovery during the interval between the two cold overflow events. This is consistent with a relatively slower turbulent flux of heat downward in the interim between Kauai Deep ventilation events.
The CTD measurements are taken over only a few minutes. The ACO values are daily averages to average out internal tides (and after removing observatory signatures.)
The ACO Microcat salinity had a mean offset prior to February of this year of ~0.02, with a drift of about 0.01 over the prior months. There is a clear jump in calibration earlier this year, but we are not sure at this point whether the rate of drift has changed from before.

Whales migrating to Alaska for the summer
Humpback whales are now leaving their winter home near Hawaii and heading back north. Rather than "singing", they make simple repeated calls to navigate and let others know where they are, The plot shows sound power by color, with the reddest colors being the loudest. The vertical scale is frequency in Hertz, and the horizontal time scale is in seconds. Each loud call (clearest between 40-100 Hz) is followed about 3 seconds later by a similar weaker signal, likely a reflection off the ocean surface, then another signal about 6.5 sec after the first, likely reflected off the ocean floor, ocean surface, and then back down to the hydrophone at the ocean floor.

5 km beneath the surface of the ocean, the Aloha Cabled Observatory brings an infrequently observed and little understood habitat into light. Through cables and oceanographic instruments, scientists are able to look at the seafloor and in a way they rarely can: instantly and for years to come.
See Data and Plots
Connecting Station ALOHA to scientists on Oahu is a retired AT&T telephone cable. The observatory has the capacity to listen to ocean through hydrophones. The temperature and salinity in the water are measured. Through acoustic sensing, the current profiles above the seafloor are being plotted. This data is sent back to Oahu at the speed of light into the hands of those who analyze it to discover patterns of ocean circulation, ocean-atmosphere interactions and climate change.
The ACO
The ALOHA Cabled Observatory (ACO) is a system of hardware and software that extends electric power and the Internet offshore, supporting sustained real-time observations in the deep ocean. The ACO is connected to Oahu, Hawaii by the HAW-4 telecommunications cable transferred to the project by AT&T in 2007.

For more than 30 years, amateur radio (a.k.a., ham radio) was a major part of my life. I loved every minute of it: Feverishly operating contests, driving down the highway with a key strapped to my leg, and climbing mountains to set up equipment in remote places—the works. This all ended abruptly about 15 years ago as life got in the way. Now that my kids are grown, the itch has returned. So I decided to find out what's changed in amateur radio over the years since I'd gone "dark." Whether you're a ham, thinking about becoming one, or just curious, you'll probably find this article interesting.
For me, the thrill of being able to communicate anywhere in the world without wires was what got me and many others hooked to amateur radio. Today, anyone with a smartphone can do this effortlessly, so you'd expect that the number of ham amateurs would be in decline—but it's not. In fact, the amateur ranks have been growing every year, no doubt helped in part by the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) elimination of the code requirement for all license classes in 2007.
However, there's more to it than that: The biggest factor driving amateur radio's growth is that it has evolved and is now fully ensconced in the digital domain. Digital technology has transformed everything from equipment to operating modes, Internet integration, and many other things (Figure 1). It's made things possible that were inconceivable before, and, as proof, I offer you what to me is one of the most striking (and somewhat controversial) developments I've come across: Remote Ham Radio. To understand its significance, you have to place it in context.
Figure 1: This is not your grandfather's ham radio station. The high frequency (HF) transceiver at lower left is digital, has an integrated real-time spectrum analyzer, two independent receivers, and more than 90 knobs and buttons. The radio on the right is just slightly less formidable. The monitor in the middle is used for logging and assorted, formerly analog, functions. On the far right is a 1kW radio frequency (RF) power amplifier. (Source: Emil Neuerer, DJ4PI / CC BY-SA 3.0)
The quest to communicate over the longest possible distance has always been a facet of wireless communications, and radio amateurs were there from the beginning. Hams are still pursuing the same goal today, with gusto. This is called "DXing," which is attempting to contact a ham in every place with an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) designation and confirming the event with what's called a QSL card.
An offshoot of DXing is the "DXpedition," which involves traveling to some remote or otherwise exotic place where there are either few or no radio amateurs or, sometimes, no one at all. A DXpedition is a huge endeavor, from getting permission to operate in an obscure place, obtaining a call sign, dealing with government bureaucracy, and ultimately finding a way to transport people, equipment, and sustenance there and return alive.
For hams contacting these stations, it's a way to add one more prefix to the number required to join the American Radio Relay League's (ARRL's) coveted DX Century Club (DXCC) through verifying contact with 100 countries. The DXpedition to Clipperton Island in 2013 is a terrific example (Figure 2). Clipperton is an uninhabited, 2.3-square-miles speck in the Pacific Ocean, 795 miles southwest of Acapulco. During the month that the operators were there, they logged more than 100,000 contacts with more than 30,000 amateurs throughout the world. The event and others before and after it are even listed on Clipperton Island's Wikipedia page.
Figure 2: Clipperton Island, nearly 800 miles from land, is a DXpedition favorite. (Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA))
Remote Ham Radio is an organization founded by Ray Higgins and Lee Imber, the former a retired Pepsi employee and tower company owner and the latter his business partner. Both hams are ardent DXers, and the goal of their group is to create a way for one ham to operate someone else's station located anywhere in the world remotely via the Internet. They have funded this effort entirely with their own money, and their goal isn't to get rich.
What makes this even more interesting is that it lets anyone become one of the "Big Guns," at least for a while, because the stations you can operate are arguably some of the most formidable in the world, whether they're in New York, California, Nova Scotia, or, incredibly, Haiti. Ham experts operating at stations in the best locations with the best equipment (and thus the biggest signals) invariably win the major contests.
The remote operation concept isn't that new, but its implementation here must be seen to be believed, and I encourage any reader, even someone who is just curious, to visit the organization's website and view the introductory video. What you'll see on your monitor is a comprehensive web page that contains a list of participating stations and the ability to control all of their characteristics, from turning their huge antennas to decreasing or increasing RF power, changing modes, and dozens of other things with just a keyboard and mouse. From an operational standpoint, the experience is probably close to being there, even though you could be many thousands of miles away. But there's a catch: You have to pay for it. Thus, the controversy.
The beauty of amateur radio has always been that anyone, not just a Big Gun, can build his or her own equipment, set up a station, and, depending on propagation conditions, talk to other stations throughout the world—for free. Remote Ham Radio changes this paradigm and it isn't sitting all that well with some hams or with the DX Advisory Committee of the ARRL. The committee attempted to change the rules for earning DX Century Club (DXCC) credit, making it a requirement that the operator's home station and where the contact was made from were no more than 200km apart. However, it failed.
There's also plenty of discussion on forums, which are likely to get more intense if someone uses one of the stations for an entire contest. The fact that the premium stations cost up to $0.99 per minute of operation reduces this likelihood. So, if you operated for 20 hours, it would cost you just shy of $1,200. On the other hand, it's also the only way most hams will ever get to experience the thrill of operating an absolutely first-class station.
Remote Ham Radio is just one example of dozens that illustrate just how far amateur radio has come in the last decade or so, some of which admittedly stretch the definition of amateur "radio" to include operation solely via the Internet. But not to worry: Amateur radio is alive and well, and as the man said, as for the times, they are changing.

Edward S. Curtis
Edward S. Curtis' The North American Indian has been described by leading scholars, curators, and archivists as one of the largest anthropological enterprises ever undertaken. The North American Indian was part history, part anthropology, part technology, and part fine art photography. The copper photogravure plates are major cultural icons derived from the importance of the entire 30-year-long project.
The North American Indian is a 20-volume text that covers over 100 Native American tribes. Curtis worked entirely with the consent of the tribes that he studied, allowing them a role in their depiction, and in turn, he was able to document and record significant cultural information that had not been available before or since. Curtis accompanied his text with approximately 2,228 individual photographic illustrations, which he created via the photogravure process.
As an added and unexpected benefit, the copper photogravure plates, created for The North American Indian, have a multi-purpose quality to them: they are simultaneously research tools, institutional collectibles, museum, private gallery and exhibition displays and a means for cultural revitalization for Native Americans. Their value is to be measured not only in terms of their impact on current audiences including Native Tribes, historians, collectors, curators and museum professionals, but also on how well they can be preserved for future generations as examples of the multi-dimensional complexity of the western American experience.
The copper plates signify the artist's final vision for his lifelong project, and the final creative and visual record of his images. Curtis' plates are truly unique as there are multiple prints of an image but only one plate. He would often spend time reworking and editing the image on each plate. The quality of the etching and the intrinsic beauty of the copper add a certain aesthetic value that is distinct to this medium. Each plate is a one-of-a-kind piece, which exists simultaneously as both a work of fine art and a valuable historical artifact.

Ramon Ortega is a Colombian Ork merc. He tends to dress in distressed military fatigues and body armor, and he has Catholic-influenced tattoos, as well as those representing Bogata, and a black star for his (former) merc outfit. He's a bit less bulky than some Orks, perhaps, but still is a pretty well-muscled fella. He has close-cropped hair. He tends to favor an assault rifle and a big revolver, but will use sniper rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, sharp sticks… basically whatever the situation calls for. He's relatively cool and professional. He's very Catholic, into Liberation Theology, and has a bit of a moral crusade to protect innocents, specifically children. He wears an iconic Saint Michael medal, like so many other Catholic soldiers all over the dang world. They love that wacky archangel. He's no stranger to violence and has a scar or two. Also, he's equally comfortable in both urban environments and the jungle, and this is represented by his style. He still has his original eyes (with some implants in there), but has dermal armor that might be noticeable.
Ortega posts in Jackpoint under the name Gladio Aod, which translates to "The Sword of Ehud". This is in reference to Judges 3:16-22
16 And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his clothes. 17 And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. 18 And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. 19 But he himself turned back at the idols near Gilgal and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence. 20 And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat. 21 And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 22 And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out.
He tends to end his posts either by saying Sic vis pacem, para bellum (literally, "If you seek peace, prepare for war") or by referencing 2 Timothy 2:3-4
3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.
Possible CFD infection. Recently became a ghoul, which may have fought off CFD. Has a microbomb, running silent, set to trigger on the phrase "Scorpion Gallery Scarf." He has come to believe that God is testing the people of Earth through HMHVV- those who emerge as sentient ghouls are the sane, and take the communion of true flesh, and those who emerge feral are the damned and must be destroyed. He is trying to get involved with the Ghoul Liberation League in Chicago.

Ramón Ortega was born in the slums of the free city of Bogotá in 2054. He was raised in a very large Ork family, and at an early age proved that, while maybe not the strongest Ork, he was certainly one of the fastest. As a youth, he was something of a minor star futból player in the favela. Unfortunately, at puberty he was shown to be prone to illness, likely due to the terrible living conditions he was raised in. As this primary dream of escaping the shadows of Bogotá withered, he drew great strength from his Catholic faith, and for a time considered a career in the church. It was clear, however, that he did not have the social skills to be a priest, and what little schooling he had was plagued by bouts of violence. He seemed to be destined to a short, violent life of little consequence, like so many of his brothers and sisters in the slums. Ramón proved to be braver than most, though, and he would often spend time in the terrifying jungles that encroached upon the southern half of the city with little more than his body and his faith to protect him. When he was 16, a local merc company decided to hire him based on his tenacity and familiarity with the jungles, and he found solace in the structure that they provided. At some point, he saw what the warring factions were doing to the children of Bogotá, and he vowed never to allow children to be harmed again, if he could help it, a vow he keeps to this day.
The recent surprise attacks by the Aztlan strike teams on Amazonian merc companies left him alone, without his former friends and colleagues. Ramón had little choice but to flee the increasingly-violent city, and has taken to running the shadows. He one day dreams of opening an orphanage for the children of Bogotá. For the mean while, he tithes 10% of his income not to the church directly, as there are many parts of the overall church that he disagrees with, but to various Catholic charities. Primarily this is an independent charity called Agnos Belli Caritate, literally the Lambs of War Charity, which runs orphanages in war-torn parts of the globe. He will occasionally help out with Catholic Relief Services as well, but prefers ABC, as it seems to more directly help the children, and is less beholden to the Vatican or other powerful church institutions.

Hillbilly camper rack
Annie is back in the shop this morning. We were really lucky on her problems and issues yesterday. The bill will definitely come in less than $500 and not near $2000 as we feared. The big oil leak was not a front motor seal as we feared but valve cover gaskets instead. The bill for that repair will only be $200 as opposed to as much as $1000 to replace the front seal on a 454 cubic inch engine. Ditto the brakes. We feared we were going to need a new booster assembly but it turned out to be a simple adjustment of the rear shoes. Whew!
Our day took an interesting turn Tuesday when we drove out to the Sand Creek Golf Course and the place was locked up tight with nobody in sight. We learned it was closed for "scheduled maintenance" but we rubes had no clue of such a thing. Meanwhile, America's Best called and told Susun her new eyeglasses were "in." So, we headed down to Pokey, as it is affectionately known here, to pick them up. We squeezed in a visit to Pokey Deseret Industries and a local gun shop as well. After returning some, we commenced to set up our Hillbilly rig above and barely had time to log another session on the treadmill before Happy Hour arrived.
All-in-all, a busy day.
The 23rd Annual Verde River Day was held last Saturday. We will talk more about that in a blog post soon. You can click here for the story and 46 photos. Ironically, out of the 46 pictures, the photographer only took 3 or 4 of the river. Typical.

Kick self sabotage to the curb – 5 behaviours that stop us from healing and how to avoid them
As you know by now, I talk about it a lot, mostly in regards to self-care. You could say it is a passion of mine. I can't really let go of it because I am still healing and I am trying to help others on their healing journey. So, naturally, I talk about it.
That makes this blog post no less uncomfortable to write. Something has come up over and over again recently when I talked to other loss survivors or looked at my own strategies to try and heal. It is quite common. We all do it. But none of us would easily admit to it.
I'm talking about self-sabotage.
Ugh, yeah, that bitch.
Self-sabotage comes in many forms and some of them are quite sneaky. We all have fallen prey to it and that is ok. It is part of our grief journey and the challenges it poses when we seek healing. We try hard to feel better and the hard work often pays off, as the load seems a little lighter on some days. But there are those days where we end up blocking our own progress. This can only last a day or two. But sometimes, this blockage almost becomes chronic and we are stuck in a certain way of thinking and perceiving the world without realising what it does to our own well being and healing.
Below are five common behaviours/ ways of thinking that stop us in taking that next step to healing and how we can put them into their place.
- Don't apologise
That's very much a women's thing, isn't it? We say sorry to so many things. We respond to questions and statements by saying sorry even though an apology is not necessary, not wanted and actually out of place. It can be as simple as 'did you do the washing today?' and we say 'sorry, no'. A simple No would suffice. We don't have to apologise for everything and anything!
The same applies for our healing journey.
After our loss, we look for answers and explanations. Why did my body fail me? Why wasn't I able to carry this pregnancy? All very common questions that we want answers for. But they are oh so tricky. They don't provide any healing but instead, are the start of a slippery slope towards self-hatred and anger. On top of that, we start to apologise for our bodies. We take responsibility for not being able to 'give' our partners or families babies. We say sorry to our partners and parents because they hare not yet fathers or grandparents.
Don't do it. You are sorry, it is obvious. But this is not your fault. Don't apologise for something you haven't done. You are putting yourself down and deny all of your amazing qualities that make you a unique human being.
Besides, no one asked for an apology so don't give one. Your journey is not yet over. Don't get stuck in apologising and feeling awful for something you don't have to feel bad about. It brings a lot of unnecessary negativity into your journey and life.
So next time you find yourself wanting to apologise, take a step back. Acknowledge this feeling or urge of wanting to say sorry but examine how it makes you feel. Do you really feel better apologising? If not then don't do it.
If an apology isn't healing then there is a good chance you are making yourself feel bad and drained. Therefore, take a break from apologising and focus on yourself and what makes you feel better.
- Don't blame yourself
Blame goes hand in hand with the need to apologise. We feel guilty for having let everyone down. We failed, right?
Losing a baby and/or a pregnancy is not a failure. It is a loss. A loss is a loss. Try not to define in any other way. I know, we all like to label things in life. Something is good, something else is bad, and a third thing is average. That is the way we think, judge things and life and make sense of the world. It provides us with safety in a world that is often crazy and down right scary.
But labels are a tricky thing for a loss. We can all agree that a loss is devastating, heartbreaking or soul destroying. We need it to leave it at that though. Don't' go further and think the loss happened because your ovaries are bad or your uterus is lazy or your body is bad in general. No!
Blame is not needed and not wanted.
It is another powerful way of thinking and feeling that blocks your way towards healing. The same approach here applies – acknowledge your intention to put blame on yourself and examine how it makes you feel.
Does blaming yourself help you feel better? Does it provide clarity?
If not then don't do it. Do it less. I know, it is so hard. We as women are conditioned to blame ourselves, take responsibility for everything that goes wrong and be everyone's punching bag.
But still – don't do it. You deserve to talk about yourself and your loss gently. Your pain needs to show and be dealt with but just as it is – with no blame and guilt attached.
- Don't pressure yourself
Our lives these days are very well time managed. We get up at a certain time; we rest for five minutes between tasks and shouldn't be sick for more than a week. We don't have time for more and we especially have very little time these days for grief and mourning. People around us definitely expect us to get 'over it' fairly quickly and often enough, we think that, too. We tell ourselves we are doing just fine and pretty good and that it's all good.
To a point, we do this to protect ourselves from the pain and the sadness. No one wants to deal with that for days on end! We need a break from it so we try and tell ourselves that we are getting there. Quite often, that is exactly what is going on which is great!
For those times though where we tell ourselves things are fine because they are not, we enter self sabotage territory again. Telling ourselves we have to be fine or that we ARE fine won't help us manage our pain any better. How can we not do this though, given everyone around us has lost interest and doesn't want us to talk about our loss? It's been a month so let's all be happy again, right?
Of course not. Push that pressure away from you.
Your pain is real, it deserves to exist and be dealt with properly. There is no expiry date on your grief and you need to take all the time you need to heal.
If there are people around you who think you should be 'done' within a certain time frame then create some space for yourself away from them. Their pressure on you is neither fair nor appropriate. Don't give in to it. This is your journey and you decide on the pace.
4. Don't explain
It seems we have a lot of explaining to do after our losses. People don't understand what happened and neither do we. Of course we are all looking for answers and it's one of the hardest parts of our journey when we don't find any. Or maybe we can only find some but our most pressing questions remain unanswered. So we start to explain things by ourselves – my body failed me, something is wrong with me; it's all my fault.
Sound familiar?
It happens so easily and quickly. We want people to understand why we lost our babies but if we lack answers, we turn to self-blame quickly to give them something.
And that is just wrong. It was and is NOT your fault, nothing is wrong with you and your body hasn't failed you or anyone else. Your body is your body. It struggles some times and other times it is doing just fine. It has gone through trauma and it needs time to regroup. A positive mindset can help with that but self-blame doesn't.
It is such a hard road to travel on but don't make it harder by trying to please others and giving them answers and explanations when all we can say really is 'I miss my baby' and 'I am hurting'.
It should be up to others to comfort us, not make this struggle harder on us.
- Don't listen to expectations
Expectations are a bitch, whether they are your own or others.
We all have them and most of the time that is just fine. We expect to get home ok or to receive a letter. But when it comes to having children and pregnancy, expectations are sky high, by everybody. Grandparents to be expect a grandchild and feel entitled to voice that expectation over and over again, deaf and blind to any pain that may cause their child or their child's partner.
And once others shared their (inappropriate) expectations with us, they start to weigh heavily on our shoulders. We already have our own. We expect to have a baby and soon and we expect it to be all a-ok. That's normal. It's how it should be, really. In an ideal world, no family would ever lose a baby. Not a single one.
But we are not in an ideal world.
Our babies have died. Expectations have not been fulfilled.
Next thing we know, they are soaring high again. We can't help it; it is how we are conditioned. It's ok to have expectations. It's NOT ok to let them wash over you though and putting you in the self blame corner again.
You deserve to heal. You deserve to take your time.
You deserve to shut out those expectations. Feel free to have some attitude, too.
No one has the right to expect anything of you after you lost your baby. There are heaps of expectations on those around you such as helping you and comforting you. But for you, there is only important thing right now – to heal and do it at your own pace. We can deal with expectations later. You are worthy of rest and recovery right now.

So excited to share some favorites from Remerie's newborn pictures we took about a month ago, she has already changed so much since then (and also no longer likes to be swaddled!) — so of course I am so grateful to have these moments to look back on forever. I love how Waverly & Avalon's love for their little sister shows so much in these, life as a family of five is crazy and in no way seamless or easy, but we have never had to worry about either of them being jealous or not absolutely adoring Remie. She fits in so perfectly, it was always meant to be.
Some things I never want to forget about Remie during her first weeks of life, her bright blue eyes, so alert even at such a young age, her smiles (that started almost immediately after she was born!), and how much her sweet little face looks just like her daddy's newborn photos. We love you so much, Remerie Rue!
All photos are by Shawna Bielat, as always we are so thankful for her capturing our little family! XO

Gregg Frost walks through the kitchen area of the newly renovated Hen House Markets in Leawood, KS, and observes a healthy dose of Monday morning activity. Chefs chop and prepare produce, fire up ovens and grills, and load trays of food onto the retail floor. Just a few feet away, through the large, open windows that allow consumer views of the kitchen, employees make fresh to-order waffles.
Frost — who has been with Hen House since 1971 and now serves as the company's vice president of operations —takes it all in while approaching the back corner of the kitchen, where a small room is used to clean dishes, pots and pans.
"You know, in my first store, years ago, I think our entire deli was about the size of this room," Frost says before turning around. "And now look at us."
Hen House — part of Balls Food Stores — has 11 locations in the Kansas City metro. The company prides itself on high-quality, on-trend retail foodservice, but its new crown jewel stands as an illustration of the industry as a whole — bigger, modern, expansive and ready to lead supermarkets into the future.
The completely remodeled (and slightly relocated) location reopened in August and Hen House gave instore a behind-the-scenes look at what makes the prepared foods section of the store so special.
Mapping it out
In 2015, Balls Foods — led by David Ball, the third-generation operator of the family company — wanted to create a new flagship store. The company already had the location, an upscale shopping area in the high-earning suburb of Leawood. They just needed to completely revamp the Hen House store that stood there.
So on Christmas Eve of that year, the store closed its doors. "The way we set it up, it would have taken two years to do the remodel if we would have stayed open for the duration," Frost says. "Instead, it only took about seven months."
Hen House reopened its doors on Aug. 3, with customers walking through a relocated entrance into a store that bared no resemblance to its former life. From those first steps through the entrance, the emphasis on fresh is apparent. Fresh flowers — the first Hallmark Flowers display in the nation — greet the customers, who then move into the side of the store that accounts for the extra 20,000 square feet of new space.
A trip around the southern perimeter of the store is a seemingly never-ending line of fresh food options. Grilled foods, sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, sushi, waffles, made-to-order salads, a pie pantry and more each have their own station. The result is like a high-end food court that entices consumers into making multiple trips per week for meals.
"We flipped everything, even where the entrance is," Frost says. "We wanted to make it our flagship store, and the real idea was to put the focus on prepared foods, foods to go and something different."
Company executives traveled extensively across the country to tour stores and collaborate with companies whose brands they admire. Trips to New York City, in particular, gave them ideas to work with and tours of Eataly, the Union Square Whole Foods and more were particularly inspiring. Above all, though, was Wegman's.
"In our minds, we wanted to be more like a Wegman's than any store we've been through so far," Frost says. "We looked at what they've done and how we could use that and adapt it to our customer base. We said, 'What can we do to be as good as (them), if not better?'
"We knew we could make a significant difference here. It's hard to differentiate yourself with Bounty towels or Charmin. It's still a good product, but they can buy that anywhere. What can we create that says 'I have to go to Hen House'?"
The answer, of course, sits on the fresh, prepared side of the store, where Hen House combined new ideas with revamped classics to form what it hopes to be a blueprint for even more success.
On the grill
Once customers walk into the store and past a Starbucks location, the first thing that likely catches their eye — other than the figurative sea of fresh food in front of them — is an open station centered around a large Halton island griddle. Customers fill bowls with fresh ingredients — from the grill's bar or from the nearby salad bar — before handing off the concoction to Hen House employees, who grill the food for immediate consumption or to-go convenience.
"It's the first time we've done it in one of our stores," Frost says of the Mongolian BBQ approach, noting that he's seen other stores do the same thing, but without the customer interaction. "A store had a grill like this, but they had it way in the back and you could kind of look through a little window and watch them grilling your stuff. We thought 'Why don't we put it out front just like they do in a restaurant?' Let's make it something fun and engaging. We can let the customers get involved with their food."
The meals, which are priced by the pound, have been a big draw since the store's reopening, sometimes resulting in lines two or three deep around the grill. That's where Hen House's specially trained employees come in handy.
The meat manager of a nearby Hen House location once worked for a Mongolian BBQ chain, and Frost says the company wisely utilized his experience during the remodel. He helped select and train a staff of employees who are comfortable with interacting with customers.
"You have to have a creative person on the front line talking to customers," Frost says. "You have to do more than just flip stuff on the grill. You don't necessarily want somebody who worked at McDonald's. Believe it or not, you want someone who was in theater or music in school. They enjoy engaging with people."
More than just sushi
Sushi is now a staple in most supermarket foodservice offerings. While not the biggest sales driver, it's widespread enough to be included in stores across the country. But Hen House wanted to do more than just delegate a small kiosk to the cuisine.
The result is a unique partnership with Hissho, a supplier of freshly prepared sushi and more. While Hissho's sushi and rolls are available, what makes its Hen House location different is the addition of pho and bahn mi sandwiches. It's the first supermarket to offer those items.
"They've done this on some college campuses back East and it went over really well," Frost says. "So we said, 'Hey, when we remodel the store, let's do that too.' So instead of just basic sushi, we've added a lot more, probably triple what they typically do in-store. And they do a tremendous job with their stuff."
Hissho says its Pan-Asian hot bar program became an instant hit when it began opening at university locations. Instead of offering consumers the same menu items day after day, Hissho saw the opportunity to expand, hence the additions of pho, bahn mi, ramen and more.
"What happened is that we started opening sushi bars in some of these universities, and vice versa, many of our grocery locations are now requesting our Pan-Asian hot bars," says Hissho CEO Philip Maung. "We're now in a win-win situation, which is contributing to Hissho's growth."
Along the same lines as the revamped sushi counter, Hen House's sandwich bar takes a supermarket staple and adds some modern twists. In addition to the traditional to-go and to-order sandwiches, the store now offers pitas and flatbread pizzas. "We took the concepts we had and kind of enhanced them," Frost says. "We put them on steroids, so to speak."
The same can be said of a new chopped salad station, which sits between the sandwich bar and Hissho counter. In the old space, the store likely would have made the salads in a portable station on the floor. "But we decided to make it part of the run and plan it out instead of putting it out and then rolling it away at night," he says. "We created a whole station where you can get your salad. It's only made-to-order."
In addition to the chopped Tuscan salad that Hen House has traditionally offered, consumers can choose from a handful of other options, many of which utilize ingredients found on the store's large, traditional salad bar just a few feet away.
In answer to the challenge of luring in consumers more than once a week, Frost says everything is better or new. "After a while it's easy to think, 'I don't want any more fried chicken. I don't want another sandwich like I can get at Subway.' That doesn't mean we did away with that stuff. We still do a great job with rotisserie chickens, for example, and they're always popular. We just took everything and made it better."
Foodservice culture
If you continue walking around the perimeter, past the Hissho counter, you come to the traditional supermarket delicatessen counter. Behind the deli meats, cheeses, fried foods and more is a giant window that opens up into the main kitchen, a far cry from the old swinging doors and small, cloudy windows.
"We wanted that visibility," Frost says. "You can see what's going on. We're not trying to hide anything."
What's going on is a number of experienced chefs preparing the day's offerings. An almost jovial atmosphere is apparent, in stark contrast to many Monday morning workplaces. Frost says the culture is built on talented employees who enjoy working for the store.
"We employ a lot of certified chefs who have been professionally trained," he says. "They love working here because of the environment. We don't ask them to stay until 2 or 3 in the morning. They come in early and can leave at a reasonable time, and can have an actual life and family. It's very appealing."
It also helps that the experienced chefs are working with quality recipes and creations, many of which came from the mind of well-known Kansas City chef Peter Castillo, who Balls Foods hired as corporate executive chef in preparation for the remodel.
"We knew it was a supermarket. We're not going to be a restaurant. So we tried to incorporate restaurant-quality food and customer service," Frost says. "From the creation of the menu to the great people we have preparing the food, we feel like we offer the quality and experience you can get in a great restaurant."
Employees chop fruits and vegetables from the store's produce section for all recipes and for the salad bar. They work with Irinox blast chillers, ovens from Baxter and Rational to cook foods, and do so with the choreographed chaos you might see in a busy restaurant kitchen.
Next door, at the in-store bakery, a large MIWE condo-4E oven is on full display to consumers. Four racks bake fresh breads at alternating temperatures and times. "This is the second Hen House to put this oven in and it's great," Frost says. "We're using thousands and thousands of dollars of new equipment. It's light years from what used to be found in supermarkets."
Off and running
In the two months since Hen House opened its new doors, the retail foodservice side of the store has seen substantial success.
"We weren't sure what we could do with prepared foods, but we're running at a good pace so far," Frost says. "With the salad bar included, we're running roughly 20 percent of the store's total sales in this area alone. That doesn't include produce or even the bakery. It's just prepared foods, cheeses, hot foods and the grill."
Frost says the store is monitoring menu items, is flexible enough to make changes when needed, and is already preparing for possible future state law changes. On the opposite end of the store, a large glass wall looks into Harry's Liquors, an independently owned liquor store. That glass wall, Frost says, can easily be removed.
"We planned it this way," he says. "If the laws ever change to allow supermarkets to sell liquor and wine (in Kansas), we can knock out that wall and people can go in and shop and pair it with foods. It will be very easy to create that more complete shopping experience."
It's a shopping experience that is finding success with Hen House's relatively well-to-do shoppers. In an area of the Kansas City metro where shoppers more often say "I need that" as opposed to "Oh, it's how much a pound?" the store is offering the right high-quality foods.
"We look at it as 'What do our customers want to buy?' If they want to buy it, we want to sell it," Frost says. "We'd rather sell it than them go somewhere else to get it. We want to be the place everyone comes to when they want a high-quality meal with a lot of options. And so far, we're doing that."

Stepping away from work for an hour-long lunch break is turning into a rare luxury, so it's important to find a way to make your daily sad-desk salad less depressing. The solution is as simple as using a real plate, bowl, and cutlery. Besides being less wasteful, real utensils are also a reminder to slow down and enjoy your meal. Whether you're Seamless's favorite customer or the type to pack the night before, here's how to make your midday meal count.
If You Want to Keep It Classic
Splurging on bone-white china from Britain's oldest ceramics company is one way to dress up your lunch. If it's good enough for the royal family, it's definitely going to make your leftovers special.
If You Want to Instagram Your Lunch
Made from two types of clay, Simple Life Istanbul's creations resemble marble. Pair them with gold flatware and you basically have the perfect Instagram shot.
If Your Style Is Japanese Wabi-Sabi
While technically this plate and bowl come from France's original ceramic factories, they have an earthy touch that complements Helen Levi's artist mug.
Stop Using Plastic Containers
If you're going to be responsible and bring a healthy meal every day, extend that same conscientiousness to the way you carry it. Besides being questionable for your health, cheap takeout containers can also leak, so look to glass or metal boxes. Should you prefer to bring soup, this pot will keep it hot and secure.
Curate an Emergency Spice Drawer
When the healthy lunch you so virtuously packed the previous night feels boring in the light of day, you need a spice stash to come to your rescue. Use these ingredients to make a quick salad dressing, or add truffle salt to salvage your meal. And if you're really into spice, this habanero sriracha is legitimately hot and tasty.
Make Your Tea Break Special
Not into coffee but need a mid-afternoon caffeine boost? Steep this floral mix of black and green teas developed by Tibetan monks. Or, if you're more of a prestige green-beverage person, here's a really good matcha that you can whisk into your handmade bowl.

Dear US Congressional Representatives & US Government Bureaucracies,
Who exactly are you representing by maintaining a "watch list" of countries which don't do copyright & IP as "well" as the US. Just because citizens tend to vote the way their favorite news channel tells them to doesn't mean you have a license to ignore the whim of the people on non-publicized issues. I don't know any voters who support this nonsense. See:
I'm moving to Canada.

After this past weekend I know what Keith Richard's liver feels like. I and ten other hell-bent drunks braved the wilds of North Federal Boulevard and Steamboat Springs for a bachelor party weekend that sent Nels off to the marriage gallows in grand drunken fashion. I will spare you the details of the weekend as they are mostly laborious accounts of steak dinners, inebriated heroics and vulgar slurs of grandiose proportions directed at one party-goers Denver Bronco Cheerleader sister. The entire bachelor party shared their sexual fantasies surrounding said sister during the entire weekend (mostly after the aforementioned party-goer threatened to inflict physical harm). My favorite fantasy included Shannon Elizabeth, a sponge and a bathtub filled with hot fudge. It is amazing what three motivated drunk people can accomplish on Howelsen Hill with a crude sledding device. Me being one of said drunk people (and just in case someone in Steamboat Springs law enforcement or my mother is reading this) all I will say about the incident is this: that was some fun shit.

#56) Shell World ~ Key Largo
You can't pass GO without collecting $200 - and you can't pass through Key Largo without collecting some shells - at Shell World.
Located @ 97600 Overseas Highway in Key Largo, Florida, Shell World - to me - is the single best souvenir shop in all of the beautiful Keys.
While everyone's driving to get further and further south, I passionately believe it's also always a good idea to stop while enroute. And that stop can be a small and very brief break, or it can be a much longer one. It can be a lunch outing, an overnight, or something, somewhere in between. But either way, on our travels we always take a break. Get some lunch. Or I'll do some stretches, and I always get my steps in. I may get a coffee. Or, better yet, I'll do some good old fashioned shopping… browsing, souvenir hunting. And when shopping is classified as better than coffee, for me, that's a good store indeed.
On our first trip to the Keys a few years back, we already knew about Shell World and that we were most definitely going to be making a stop there. My mother-in-law had told us about the place, and she had also brought us back a sea urchin from her visit there, which I now have sitting front and center atop my white, antique dresser in my bedroom.
And since our first visit to the store, Shell World has moved locations. They're now situated in the center medium on the Overseas Highway. Their former location had them placed in the Southbound lanes of the highway - meaning all northbound drivers had to cross over to get to the store. Now, travelers going both north and south bound can access Shell World with equal and greater ease.
Don't let its looks deceive you either. Shell World is huge. Housed in a simple and brightly painted building, once inside, it's a shopper's paradise. I walked and I walked, and I browsed and I browsed. The store just kept going. I'd say allow at least twenty minutes to a half hour inside Shell World - if you love shopping as much as I do. But I'm pretty confident I might have been inside there even a tad longer than that.
You'll feast your eyes on every type of sea shell you can possibly imagine. Coral, starfish, shark teeth, sand dollars, shells in their natural state and shells that have been painted or otherwise decorated in some fashion, sea urchins, sea glass… the list can go on.
And that's just the shells themselves. Shell World is not just one room - it is many, many rooms, all connected in one large building. You can walk and walk, and not see the same thing twice. After checking out all the shells, there are then the typical touristy souvenirs such as tees, sweatshirts and hoodies, bathing suits, flip flops, beach towels and other gear for days in the sun, baseball caps and sun hats.
And I really loved checking out all the jewelry. I spent way too long browsing through it all, and I think the jewelry sucked up most of my time in the store. I'm actually not very sure how I passed it all up - in order to buy a tank top and some shells from the world - apparently the shells were more important to me.
I also purchased a piece of red coral, which was on both my "definitely" and "must buy" lists. And I was really happy with the very comfy and lightweight tank I picked out as well. I then snagged a few postcards, stickers, and a few other unique shells and other finds. All items added up, I spent a total of $57.18 at Shell World. And honestly, I did not even feel too overcharged, only just a bit overcharged, in a place that could easily sell at even much higher prices to brief encounters with endless tourists.
And now that Shell World has officially become a Keys tradition for me, I will most definitely be going back on my next adventure to Key Largo. Whether I'm just once again quickly passing through the island, I will, at a minimum, be utilizing Shell World to get out of the car, do some browsing, and to stretch my legs. And if I'm once again spending the night on Key Largo, I'll still stop and do the same. I'd highly recommend stopping in while you're traveling the Overseas Highway. If you love shopping, you'll be in a shoppers paradise, while you're also, literally, in paradise. ~

Last week, we extracted a couple frames of honey from my hive. I tried making most of them foundationless this year and the bees decided to make some of them a little wiggly -- this turned into "really wiggly" by the end of the box where I pulled two frames from.
It was somewhat stressful trying to pull a falling-apart chunk of comb out of a hive with something like 60,000 bees in it, but the honey is pretty tasty.
Theoretically, you can use an extractor on foundationless frames, but mine were too damaged and wavy (in my non-expert opinion) to try. The alternative is to do like you would with a top-bar hive and chop all the comb into a recepticle (bowl), smash it up (potato masher) and filter it (cheesecloth over seive).
The filtering took a few hours (we left it overnight) and worked very well, getting all the wax and bee-bits (I killed a few) out. The first attempt we used three or four layers of cheesecloth which was far too much.

First insert the micro sd card into your mobile phone and switch it on.Then connect phone to the computer using the USB cable which is provided with the phone.Now this message will appear on your phone:"Connect phone as storage device?" Select 'yes' and go to my computer and you will see a 'Removable Disk' icon there. Now just transfer the music files into the 'music' folder in the 'Removable Disk'.Always remember that the player supports 'MP3', 'MIDI', 'iMelody' and 'AMR' music file formats only. After transferring the data remove your phone from the computer using the 'Safely remove hardware' icon on the taskbar.

Rostov Rising by Roger Bourke White Jr.
What would you do?
If Aladdin and his genie rode by you... worried and in a big hurry?
A dragon so old and powerful that it was in "Long ago..." stories was stealing maidens from your valley?
These are the kinds of mysteries and challenges Baron Rostov faces.

A Tales of Technofiction Book
Roger White is a careful observer of life and people, and he's done so from many interesting perspectives. He was a soldier in Vietnam in the '60's, a college student at MIT in the '70's, a computer network pioneer in the '80's and a teacher in Korea in the '90's.
Roger thinks about how technology affects how we live, and then writes about it.
