The Irwins across the street had seven hooligans hanging out the windows of their house; consequently, I never realized six or seven kids was a lot. It was just how many we had. I thought, when I grew up, I'd probably have a large family too. After having the first one at 20, I took a break, then had two more within 20 months. We decided to stop at three because we honestly figured #4 would show up in spite of our efforts to prevent him or her from doing so. We held at three. Sometimes I still wish for that fourth child. (Then I remember what college cost and come to my senses.)
Only when our children all got married did I realize we DID get to have a large family. God brought three more to our circle, and then their children began to arrive. Our circle has grown to twelve and we have hopes and dreams of more, in years to come. I thought of doing this post as a Thursday Thirteen but it felt too awkward. Instead I'd just like to tell you a little bit about each one. Why we treasure them.
This is Chris with his two boys, Grayson on the left of the photo, and Caiden on the right. His friends and co-workers often call him "Pace". Most of us who are his family call him Chris. It feels nice to have a separate name for him because we're his family. He is an awesome pastor, but an even better Daddy to his three kids. I love that he likes listening to the "preacher channel" even though I don't. He makes great chipotle chicken every time we visit, and is easy-going. He loves to sing along with the radio, and has a nice southern drawl. I love how he throws his head back and cracks up when he gets tickled. I will never forget looking up at our back door, and his head sticking through the door, with a backwards cap stuck on his head. His first words to me, "Hi Mom." I knew then he was the one she'd choose. She chose well.
This is Jeremy, with his son Landon, our newest grandchild. We met Jeremy when he was a few days shy of 19, again with a backwards facing cap shoved on his head. He was a big, bad football player back then. Really, he was a big teddybear of a boy/man, and he fell hard for our daughter. We've sat through his football games, win and lose, just like our own son's. We've watched him grow from a boy to a man. He's a West Virginia native, something we tend to tease him about. Really, though, it gave him a love for the outdoors, for trees and creeks and fishing and hunting. I love that about him. Landon and Leslie are blessed. Us too. He's going to be a great daddy. I imagine Landon will be a good fisherman and hunter, and a fine man because of his Dad's influence through the years.
This is sweet Janae, Dan's wife. I first heard of her when Dan phoned home, a few years ago, to tell us he had a date to his school's Homecoming. He described her as "beautiful" and "elegant". I still think that's cute as can be. She's the oldest of four in her family, three of which are girls, yet she thinks of Dan's sisters as hers also. She's girly and at the same time athletic. Leslie appreciates that she loves reading People Magazine, keeping up on the current status of Brad/Angelina/Jennifer. Sarah appreciates that she loves kids, esp. hers. She just jumped into our family, which was pretty brave, and became one of us. I'm thrilled she's tall, a bit sassy at times, can get us anywhere in Dallas we need to be, and puts up with all of us. Sometimes that's a lot. I love that she loves U2. She has a nice southern drawl, cries easily, eats sushi, and calls her Mom often. She loves Don and I, and as much as we're thankful for that, we're more thankful for how she loves our son.
So God knew what he was doing. If we'd had six of our own, we might have been too worn out to treasure these extra three that came to us. Three boys, three girls. Enough for a good game of kickball, monopoly, or just to love. We didn't even have to get up for those middle of the night feedings, make them do their homework, or pay for braces. Yet, we get to love them and fold them into our ever-growing circle. We don't always do this "in-law" thing perfect, and sometimes we forget to let them know how much they mean to us; how grateful we are they are a part of our family.

This is a photo of most of my organ donor list. Back row, starting on the left, DIL Janae, son Dan, sweet hubby Don, me, daughter Leslie holding newest grandson Landon, SIL Jeremy. Front row is SIL Chris (Pace) holding Grayson, Caiden smushed in the middle, and daughter Sarah holding Miss Addison. We're leaving Saturday to see the rest of our family, who I'd also give parts to. Not that I'm really volunteering...
It's a little bit crazy around here! The kitchen looks great in one half, the other half not so slick. We're just averting our eyes for now. Our Patriarch study group met today for the first time. I think we're going to have a great year together. I woke up with a sore jaw, so I must have been just a wee bit worrisome over it. Nobody walked out, so I think we're good. I may turn into a Beth Moore groupie after this study. It's goooooooooood.
I've so appreciated all the blog love coming my way after kicking everyone off my sidebar. Mighty gracious of you all. Hope it encouraged a few of you out there to seek some balance, like I'm doing here. I haven't arrived, but I'm seeking.
Faithlifts asked me to be a guest writer for the Faithlifts spot tomorrow. Pop over to here on Wednesday, to read my take on this month's topic, Faith. Thank you, Heather and the team for not sending back my submittal, marked "rejected." I hope reading it will encourage you.
Finally, I'm going around corners and meeting myself. We've got a packed week, I may get in one more post before we hop on yet another plane, but I thought I'd share a photo we took right after our newest grandson, Landon's birth. This photo, top of page, is our whole little family, at least the part that Don and I started. We started with two, (sort of), grew to five very quickly, and now we're thrilled to say there are 12 of us. It's really starting to be fun when we get together for holidays, birthdays, etc. Because we've moved across the country a lot, Easter or Thanksgiving dinner was often just the five of us. I'm tickled pink to say we've just about hit a number that can actually eat a whole ham or turkey in one sitting.
I'm off to tend to the nest a bit. Next few days are full. I'll check in before we jump on the plane, when I'm putting this puppy to bed for 10 days......wonder if I'll get the shakes from withdrawal...

This is us last week, tired from meeting a new grandson.
My sister, Barb, and I worked at the same place. She was upstairs in Personnel and I was downstairs in Engineering. She had just done the paperwork on a new engineering student who would be working through the winter school break. She phoned me and told me to watch for some drop-dead-good-looking guy to come down the hall. I waited. OH MY GOSH! I melted when I saw him. Course I acted all cool, but inside you needed a fire extinguisher....
He worked the winter break, went back to school. He came back for the summer. Our company hired him that next winter or maybe the next one. Details are not a strong suit of mine. When I met him I had a 1 1/2 year old daughter. He played handball after work, or golf. He had no children.
He got transferred to the beautiful metropolis of Washburn, North Dakota. I was in Denver, living in an apartment, raising a little girl. I sold DuPont stock to pay a phone bill, and Conoco stock to buy steaks for a weekend date. He'd phone me from the one pay phone in the town, and we'd talk til somebody showed up, on foot, to use the phone. We flew to see each other every other weekend.
During the time we were 750 miles apart, I missed him like crazy. A co-worker in the company took a full-body photo of him in his hard hat. I melted every time I looked at it. It was framed by my bed while we were apart. I thought he was hot fire good lookin'.
We knew each other for 3 or 4 years before we dated. Once we began dating, we married because we couldn't afford to date any longer, and couldn't stand being apart. "We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout", in the basement of the Washburn court house. The judge pushed his coke bottle out of the way so the photos would look better. We still can't remember if Don paid the judge anything for doing the ceremony. I hope so. We've certainly gotten our money's worth out of it. Twenty five years and going stronger than ever. The photo is still framed, next to my bed.
Note: if I'm anything, I'm real. To a fault. With blogging, we can present ourselves to be a lot of things we aren't. I'd rather have fallout than pretend to be something I'm not. I also hope to give others out there room to do the same. We were married exactly two months before my second daughter was born. (Guess I WAS able to have more children, after all!) By our second anniversary we had three children. My husband was in a state of shock for awhile, yes, he was. Did I say God had a bit of cleaning up to do with us? Course He's still doing that. Sometimes He barely has one mess cleaned up before I make another. God doesn't tell us, "get cleaned up then come see Me." Rather, Come see Me, then I'll clean you up a bit."

Where was I? To answer that, and not sound completely heartless, let me tell where I'd been the few previous days.
On August 30, 2001 our oldest daughter, Sarah, had a somewhat difficult time delivering her son, Caiden. Anyone who has a daughter who's delivered a baby understands what you experience. Wishing you could do it for them. Praying mother and baby will be okay. It's a little wearing.
A week after Caiden was born, Friday, September 7, 2001, was the second football game of our son, Dan's senior year. We saw him intercept a pass, then get tackled mid-air and go down out of bounds. He seemed to lie there, a crumpled mess, for an eternity. Something was wrong. Sitting on the top row of the home bleachers, I started beating on my husbands leg, saying, "He's not moving, he's not moving. When he started writhing on the sideline I took a breath. Still, he didn't get up. The team physician went over, knelt down beside him. We made our way down the bleachers, walked across the field. When we reached him, it was apparent his ankle was broken; it would require surgery and end his senior football season. In pain, I heard him say, "Mom, I'm not ready to be done." Prying his football pads and helmet off, wheeling him into the back of the ambulance, climbing into the front with the driver, felt surreal. I spent the remainder of the weekend in the hospital, where he had a metal plate screwed into his ankle. He came home in a wheelchair, heartbroken.
I don't want to over-dramatize his injury. He could move limbs. He was going to be fine. Emotionally he wasn't so great, and consequently, neither was I. Dan was an athlete. Starting lineup football, starter basketball, track team, possible college scholarships. Since he was 5, playing sports defined him. On September 11, he was in the family room in a hospital bed we'd set up for him. It had been a long weekend, involving little sleep, shots for pain, visitors, raw emotions.
When I turned on the TV that morning, I saw coverage of the first tower being hit. I really couldn't absorb it. When the second one was hit, I thought NYC was being attacked. I began to hear of a plane circling in our area, southwestern PA. I think I phoned my daughters. I imagine I phoned my husband at work. I don't remember the sequence of events very well.
When Flight 93 went down, my mother phoned. I remember telling her 'it didn't really affect me. We were okay'. I knew something was wrong, but there was no room in my world that morning for more. Of anything. I turned off the TV, went back to caring for my son. There wasn't enough in me to watch bodies falling from top floors of skyscrapers and care for my son. So I chose to tend to my son's needs and tune out.
It took two years to absorb that day. I was so spent, after Caiden's birth, and our son's injury, I had no emotions to offer up in September 2001. Since then, I've read the biography of Todd Beamer. The crash site of Flight 93 is near where my husband and I often camp. It's a beautiful, wooded area with rolling hills. We've been twice to stand by the fence that protects what is essentially a burial ground for all those on board that flight. The temporary memorial consists of crosses and photos posted of every person on the plane. It feels very real when you are there, looking across that field that still has a carved out look to it. There is a separate road and entrance, reserved for relatives of the victims of that flight, so they can get closer. By right, we stand back a bit.
I never was able to get my arms around the vastness of the event. September 11 is defined in my heart by one plane, and really one man, Todd Beamer. The wife and children he left behind. If you haven't read the book, "Let's Roll", you will be moved by Lisa's steadfastness, her testimony, through incredibly difficult circumstances. She had two small children and was pregnant when Todd died. When I think of September 11, I wonder how Lisa is doing. One woman, one family. When her child was born, it made the paper. I hurt for her to have her grief made public, again.
When my husband and I flew a few weeks after September 11, to finally meet Caiden, there were soldiers with machine guns in the airport. It was a very somber place. People were still quiet, serious. Since then my nephew has done two stints in Iraq, leaving behind a wife and small child while he served. We didn't take his time there lightly. We prayed fervently for him to come home. He did. We're grateful for God's protection and mercy. One soldier. One family.
Where am I now, writing this post? I'm 37,000 miles up, flying over Texarkana, Memphis and Bowling Green, headed home. I was not allowed to bring any liquids on board this flight. There were again soldiers in the airport. I prayed for their safety as we passed each other.
September 11 didn't evoke fear in me. It evoked empathy. Everyday empathy. What happened to us as a nation, a world, gave me a new awareness that others hurt. God doesn't give us more than we can bear without Him, but life still sometimes feels full to overflowing. The woman who cut me off on the highway may have all she can handle right now with a husband who left her with a bunch of kids and bills she can't pay. The grouchy grocery clerk may have a child with an addiction problem. Or an addiction problem himself. The woman in my Bible study who isn't very friendly may not be able to tell me her husband just lost his job, or is having an affair. Or bankruptcy is looming. Life's hard, more days than not. Sometimes we have all we can absorb. September 11 changed me. It just took awhile.
Five years later, Lisa Beamer and her three children are on my mind, and in my prayers. I think she'll be thankful when this day, the five year anniversary, is over and she can put her children to bed. She can miss her husband in the privacy of her heart, not for the whole world to observe. One woman, one man. I know my world is small. It's just whittled down to a size I can handle.

I fly home tomorrow. We're down to the last day here. I suspect we'll cram it full to the brim and overflowing. A bit more cleaning, cooking, meeting the family for church tonight. I don't think we have to go to Babies 'R Us today, after three days in a row!
We'll be up a bit early to make my flight. So two days ago, new Daddy Jeremy came to me, "Bev, I've got a proposition for you." If you knew Jeremy, you'd know to hesitate. It usually involves making him pancakes or something along that line. Instead he said, "how about Friday night you and I take all the shifts?" We'd planned for them to go on a "date" and me be the first official babysitter. So when they got home last night, Leslie tucked herself in, Jeremy took the midnight feeding and I went to bed also. I got my wakeup call at 7 am and Jeremy is now curled up on the sofa for a bit more shut eye. Leslie? She's still in bed at 8:30 am.
This new mommy has been sleeping for EIGHT HOURS STRAIGHT....Their baby is 11 days old. Often, when new mothers get together, after they all explain blow-by-blow their labor and delivery - the next hot topic is how old their baby was before they slept through the night.
Doesn't matter in this household. Sweet Jeremy, smart Jeremy. For years, when Leslie retells the story, she'll smile and say, "My baby was _________ old before he slept through the night, but me? I did when he was just 11 days old." Sounds a little like a few Bible stories, "...whenever stories are retold...." don't you think? I'm pretty confident I can fly home tomorrow, knowing Leslie and baby are in mighty fine hands indeed.
I think he might be available for weekend rentals. Just start with, "Jeremy, I've got a proposition for you....." He might accept payment in the form of a stack of pancakes.

#2 I didn't know I really shouldn't sunbathe with baby oil and iodine mixed together.
#3 I didn't know you never really catch up on lost sleep. And it shows. More with each passing year.
#4 I didn't know how much work it takes to be a good mother-in-law.

#9 I didn't know you can be a really great mother and not bake homemade cookies. Or sew halloween costumes. Or be the room mother. Or be queen of the carpool. Or accidentally, ever-so-quietly most of the time, curse under your breath, now and then. You can.
#10 I didn't know being a godly wife and investing your life's effort into raising your children is the highest calling, a worthy ministry, and should not be shortchanged to volunteer for ANYTHING!
#11 I didn't know "babyfat" can stay with you for life.

#13 I didn't know, at 25, that at 51 I'd still be in the process of growing up. Doing it daily. Blowing it, getting up, brushing myself off and trying again.

Friday was spent with the pediatrician, obstetrician and a visit to the lactation specialist. Kind, caring people who reassured this young couple they will indeed live through the first months of being parents. Landon will be one week old tomorrow, and we've been averaging 4-6 hours of sleep a night. He's doing great; the rest of us are a little war-weary.
Watching the first week of this little one's life unfold, and seeing his parents begin their journey through parenting has made me think back 25-30 years ago. I remembered phoning my mother-in-law the first night Sarah was home, at 3 am, in tears. I will never forget she was gracious enough to come over in the middle of a snowy February night to burp her for me. That feeling of sitting in a rocking chair, alone, with a crying infant - the loneliness and sense of being completely overwhelmed. I've also been aware of how much I've forgotten. Some of the really tough times are very shadowy recollections. Having a child suffer through colic for five months built character, but I sure wouldn't sign up for the lessons again.
I've seen Landon welcomed into our family; we're all so happy to finally see what Leslie's "bump" looks like. He looks just like Jeremy, a good reminder that our family is truly enlarged beyond the five of us. Watching Leslie's siblings and their spouses come forward with support has been so very gratifying. It doesn't seem that long ago our three kids were fighting in the car about having to breathe the same air. Watching one support the other - wow, our parenting worked! They not only love each other, they like each other too. I find the "like" more remarkable, and rewarding.
Landon's little house is still not a well-oiled machine. It's moving more like a hand-mower than a self-propelled one right now. It's an interesting exercise, as a mother, to step back, watch these new parents dip their toes into the vast world of parenting, praying like crazy for them, but hesitating to offer too much help. We learned by doing, even when it was exhausting, discouraging, overwhelming. They will too. It's such a gracious gift from God that they get to go through all this, even if it doesn't feel like it for the 4 am feeding. It will, when they look back.

Careful with this one - can be slippery when wet. Do you need to know how to put this on your desktop? Getting the wallpaper onto your desktop background can be done in a number of ways. One way is to right click the desktop background below and then choose 'save target as...' (IE & Opera) or 'save link as...' (Firefox). Don't forget where you saved it though! Next you need to go to where your computer's operating system display settings and set the image as your background / wallpaper.
Instead you could, when the full screen version has loaded up, right click it and select 'save image as...' or 'set as Desktop Background' or 'Set as Background'.When the time comes - you'll know what to do. A walk in the park for you. I bet you already know. I'll zip it for now.

Also known just as Tsubasa, the series is a Manga created by the Artist group of CLAMP. The story is a primary alternate universe/spin off of CLAMP's Card Captor Sakura and crosses over with other well known CLAMP titles
Plot Summary
WARNING: SPOLIERS AHEAD, PLOT DETAILS and/or ENDING FOLLOW
After traveling abroad Syaoran returns to the Kingdom of Clow he is quickly greeted by his childhood freind, Princess Sakura. As Sakura prepares to confess her true feelings for him, she is interupted and must return home, but plans to corner him tomorrow and confess her love. The next day as the young archeologist Syaoran leades his dig and explores the mysterious ruins on the outskirts of the Kingdom, he and Sakura descover something too amazing for words. However a strange magical incident occures, Sakura is drained of life and her memories are scattered into the winds. Knowing he must save her life Syaoran is sent by the High Preist Yukito to a mysterious woman who will help him.
Meanwhile in the country of Japan a ruthless warrior known as Kurogane is punished by his Princess, Princess Tomoyo for his constant killings. Tomoyo places a curse upon Kurogane and sends him off on a long journey.
And in the country of Seresu a wizard by the name of Fai prepeares to depart his world, and his belove Chii to avoid his master King Ashura and explore all that is out there.
The three seemingly unrelated characters all converge in modern day Japan, with to ask the Space Time Witch Yuko for aid in their missions. However Yuko's help comes at a dire price for Syaoran, should she allow him to pass between worlds he must give up his relationship with Sakura. Syaoran selflessly agrees to save Sakura's life. With the help of a trusty creature by the name of Mokona, our main characters embark on a long journey across space and time, to collect the broken fragments of Sakura's memories in the form of feathers.
Main Characters
Our hero of the story, and the nobel guardian who has a strong compassion for Sakura. As a young boy Syaoran was a homless orphan wondering the streets untill taken in by a kind hearted man named Fujitaka (Who is Sakura's father in CCS) It was with Fujitaka that his intrest in archeology spurred and flourished, and shortly after his passing, Syaoran traveled abroad doing research. Syaoran always has a will to be stronger for Sakura being trained in the ways of the sword by Kurogane and martial arts, by a mysterious teacher known as Seshiro. As it so turns out, Syaoran is actually blind in his right eye, which often obscures his vision partially. Despite this weakness he can overcome it in any fight.
Sakura is the Royal Princess, of Clow and is a selfless cheerful character who has deep compassion for everyone, especially Syaoran. However Sakura posses unknown untapped powers, which made her a target for the tragic events that have unfolded. Sakura hates formal titles, especially from Syaoran, she never likes to be called Himi (Princess) by him at all in the begining. However Sakura is now riddled with blank memories, as they are slowly being fragmented together, she is losing all her past memories of Syaoran.
A ruthless killer who was banished by Princess Tomoyo from the Country of Nihon (Japan), as a result. Although rough mannered and ill tempered he does have a soft spot for Syaoran and sympathy for Sakura. As a skilled swordsman he trained Syaoran in the ways of the sword while in the country of Oto. Although banished he never shows any signs of disloyalty to Princess Tomoyo having a desire to eventually return to her.
Fay D. Flourite
This Goofy character is also a largely compationate character, and also a heavy pacfist. Although he can use great magic he choses not to at all. Although he may seem like a happy-go-lucky looney all the time, he holds some deep secrets of his own.
Mokona is the adorable mascot powderpuff that acompanies our heroes on their trip. Mokona poses the time travel powers of Yuko which allows the characters to travel between worlds
Fai Wong Reed
Little is known about this strange and mysterious man other than the fact he is clearly the villan of the story, and is after Sakura's feathers. It is latter found out, that much of where Syaoran and company have been going has been driven by hime
Anime Series
The Manga has since been adapted into a Anime series, animated by Bee Train, and directed by Koichi Mashimo (known for such works as NOIR, .hack//SIGN and MADLAX). Reviews for the adaption have been mixed. Some fans did not like the fact many filler episodes were added between the main plot, and the lack of cannon relationships. A movie, Tsubasa Chronicle the Movie: The Princess of the Country of Birdcages (劇場版 ツバサ・クロニクル 鳥カゴの国の姫君 , Gekijōban Tsubasa Kuronikuru Torikago no Kuni no Himekimi), was released in Japanese theaters on August 20, 2005 in conjunction with xxxHOLiC Manatsu no Yoru no Yume. The DVD of the movie was released on February 25, 2006. The movie also crosses over with the XXXHOLiC movie.

Traveling Book Tour: The Sketchbook Project
The Sketchbook Project Mobile Library from Art House Co-op on Vimeo.
I blogged about The Sketchbook Project a while ago and it has come a long way since I first posted about it. They now have over 30,000 sketchbooks archived at the Brooklyn Art Library from participants all over the globe. They also have a digital library with over 15,000 sketchbooks that you can view online. It is such a unique way to share not only your artwork, but your thoughts and ideas. Here at the office we are big fans of vintage ephemera so I love that you can preserve a piece of your own history. To participate, go to their site, sign up and they will send you a sketchbook and when you've completed it, it will not only be catalogued in the library, but it will be exhibited in museums across North America.
You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

2013 Rabbi Arthur Green, Ph.D: "The Origins of Neo-Hasidism"
The term "Neo-Hasidism" was first used in interwar Europe, referring to literary works that affected a Hasidic style. The lecture will trace the development of both the term and the ideology from then until now. It will emphasize the role of Hillel Zeitlin (1871-1942), the subject of Rabbi Green's most recent book.
Arthur Green is a scholar of Jewish mysticism and Neo-Hasidism. He is a professor in the non-denominational rabbinical program at Hebrew College in Boston. He was a dean of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 1987-1993.
Art Green grew up in Newark, New Jersey in a nonobservant Conservative movement Jewish home and attended Camp Ramah. He describes his father as a 'militant atheist', but his mother, from a traditional family, felt obligated to give her son a Jewish education. In 1959, he studied at Brandeis University, where he went through a crisis of faith and sought new approaches to Judaism. Green's professors at Brandeis included Nahum Glatzer and Alexander Altmann. After earning his Ph.D., Green became Philip W. Lown professor (now emeritus) of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies. In 1967, he was ordained as a Conservative rabbi by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. In 1968, Green was one of the founders of Havurat Shalom.
Green has published many works on Jewish mysticism and Hasidism. Invitd to deliver a series of lectures at Yale University, Green was described as 'one of the preeminent authorities on Jewish spirituality, mysticism, and Hasidism'.
2012 Rabbi Michael L. Morgan, Ph.D: 'The Social and Ethical Character of Human Existence: Emmanuel Levinas and Judaism'
An examination of the philosopher, Talmudic commentator, and one-time prisoner of war in Germany, Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995). Throughout decades of creative work, Levinas became known for an approach that placed the question of personal ethical responsibility to others at the center of his philosophical inquiries. Prof. Morgan will discuss what is distinctive and valuable in the conjunction of philosophy and Judaism in the ideas of this seminal Jewish intellectual.
Dr. Morgan received his rabbinic ordination from the Hebrew Union College—Jewish Institute of Religion in 1970, and his doctoral degree in Philosophy from The University of Toronto. He is the author of sixteen books on subjects as diverse as Jewish Thought After the Holocaust, Modern Jewish Philosophy, and Moral and Political Theory. Among these works are several that examine the contributions of important thinkers such as Benedict Spinoza, Emil Fackenheim, and Emmanuel Levinas.

Seniors Minh Tri Dang and Tim Beach are the leaders of Edgewood High School's wrestling team, but sophomore David Schimmel has been attracting the attention.
Each had just one loss before yesterday's tri-meet at Hammond, but Schimmel gets an asterisk.
The sophomore, who came up through the Edgewood recreation program, had a good season a year ago (27-4), including a third in the regionals for the second straight year. He started this year at 119, and was 3-1 through his first four matches, with two falls.
At that point, first-year head coach Mark Zvitkovitz moved Schimmel to 130 pounds -- state finalist Dang was entrenched at 125 -- and neither coach nor pupil was prepared for subsequent results.

Welcome Watchers of Illusion to Knightmare Live!
June 10, 2013 by dracs
Now I think that this one might be a bit before my time, but the others seemed pretty excited about it so here goes. This year at the Edinburgh Festival cult TV show Knightmare will return with a live show using the mystical force of Kickstarter!
For those of you who, like me, missed this show during its original run on TV Knightmare was a kids' game show which ran between 1987 to 1994. A kid, designated the dungeoneer, would be guided through a CGI and hand drawn fantasy dungeon by three friends while wearing the vision obscuring Helm of Justice, all under the watchful eye of the dungeon master Treguard of Dunshelm.
Now a group of actors and comedians have come together to recreate this now cult game show at Edinburgh and this time they won't be using CGI. Using funds from Kickstarter, it is intended to create an elaborate stage which shall recreate the three levels of the original dungeon.
But what do you get for donating your cash to this cause? Well as well as the chance to be a part of recreating an iconic part of late 80's-early 90's childhood you could get the chance to don the Helm of Justice yourself, as well as a bunch of other goodies.
If you never got the chance to see this as a kid you can find most of the episodes on YouTube and if you are a true watcher of illusion you may help build the castle of confusion on Kickstarter.

The site had nearly everything I would buy at my regular grocer, TONS of local vendors listed & the prices were really NO different than where I usually shop...some were a bit higher & some were a lot cheaper!
Plumgood promises that if you order by 11 PM you WILL get your groceries the next day (and I did), free shipping if your order is over $50 AND free gifties if you refer others! Everything was packaged to perfection...my frozen items were stiff as a board, my dairy items were nice & cool & my BREAD arrived in perfect form...I was MUCHO pleased!!
Well...Since they don't deliver to my zip code on Sat/Sun, I spent the entire weekend making out my grocery list ONLINE...every time I thought of something else we needed I quickly came to the computer & just added it to my buggy! Over the weekend I mentioned it to my cousin, so SHE signed up too & put my name down as who referred her to their site...when I did my checkout on Sunday night they gave me a FREE PINT of Ben & Jerry's (oh, yeah baby!!!)...
So, if they ship to your area & you hate going to the grocery as much as me...;)....you should try it out! Be sure & add me as your referral...Ben & Jerry's is Dr. P's fave! LOL
We thought it was a Plumgood Deal! ;)
BETTY Update: It's been seven days today...I don't think she will come back. :( But you know, she was NOT our dog to begin with...if you remember me blogging about her arrival. I guess she just needed some love to help her along her journey...I just hope she is safe, she sure was a sweet girl.

Not in the cards
My last post was about doing things you've never done before and how it may change your life for the better.
Well sometimes it doesn't.
Tonight was shaping up to be a great night. I'd already been to the driving range, gone on a run, had a great dinner (Japanese), and my friends and I had decided to rent the new Batman Movie before shifting back into exam-week gear.
Two friends and I drove to the nearest Blockbuster to pick it up only to realize after 15 minutes of searching that it doesn't come out on DVD until December 9th.
After spending 20 more minutes arguing over what to get instead (I even called a third party to offer some insight), we gave up and decided to just see what was On Demand.
Half an hour ago, my friends decided to see The Strangers, the scary movie of this past summer.
They asked if I wanted to join them and as much as I love spending time/watching movies with my friends, I was forced to decline…
…and here's why:
This summer, knowing that I'm easily scared, a girl invited me to see The Strangers in the theater. I think it was some poorly planned, twisted form of flirting.
I initially declined but when she offered to pay (making it officially a date), I obliged.
Now, I don't see scary movies. I freak out enough as it is during the darker parts of movies like Signs, The Bourne Identity, James and Giant Peach, Fantasia and Step Up 2.
So I made a conscious decision when I was 12 never to see a movie that's advertised as 'scary'.
Until The Strangers.
I didn't go into the movie blind though. No, no. I was smarter than that.
I read all the spoilers and knew all the plot turns. I knew every time something popped out or someone died. I knew it all.
I knew it so well that I went into the theater with something resembling confidence.
I even had grandiose visions of her being more frightened and surprised than me. She'd have to curl up next to me and I could be the strong, confident man to protect her from anything that might actually come out of the screen and endanger her.
Then the movie started and all my something-resembling-confidence dissolved into the opening song.
I immediately started shaking and when I tried to cover my eyes or ears (or both), the girl found it inexplicably hilarious and forced me to stop.
She kept this up until around halfway through the movie when she realized that I had begun crying…
At that point she pretty much stopped acknowledging me and just focused on the movie.
After the movie, we avoided talking about what happened at all (especially the crying) and conversation, as you might guess, was forced.
I drove her home and after I dropped her off, texted some sort of awkward apology.
Needless to say, she did not text back.
So right now, while all my friends are pretending to enjoy The Strangers, I'm here with you, my real friends.
Thank you for understanding.
UPDATE: They just started Happy Feet. I think I can handle that one. See y'all later.

We've written a fair amount about elder abuse this month, and very little of it has been uplifting. Despite the best efforts of state and federal authorities, elder abuse remains a severe, pervasive, and often under-reported problem throughout the United States.
So we'd like to end the month on a more positive note, and talk a bit about what some people are doing to address the problem.
The Georgia state government has recently taken several tangible steps to crack down on elder abuse. It does this as the number of elderly Georgians increases, forcing elder abuse onto the front burner for many politicians.
The steps taken by Georgia include passing laws which enact tougher punishments for elder abusers, and training law enforcement to recognize and deal with the problem. However, some want the state to go even further, and set up an elder abuse registry.
The idea of a registry of nursing homes which have been found guilty of abusing elders is not as radical an idea as it may sound. If sex offenders who harm children can be put on a government registry, why not those who hurt the elderly?
Not to mention that Georgia would not be the first state to take this step. Several other states, including New Hampshire and Tennessee, have already put in place such a registry.
However, this registry has yet to be implemented in Georgia. Lawmakers discussed it in the last legislative session but did not have the time to take any action, although this may change in the next session.
One thing is sure: the introduction of such a registry would facilitate a radical shift in the way that elder abuse cases are viewed by the public, and send a clear message to offenders that their actions are not okay.
What is elder abuse?
Elder abuse is defined by the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse as "any form of mistreatment that results in harm or loss to an older person."
This is a very broad category, and so NCPEA recognizes several different types of elder abuse. The most obvious of these are physical and sexual abuse, as well as domestic violence, all of which involve concrete harms done to the body.
However, there are several other types of elder abuse, including psychological abuse, financial abuse, and neglect. Although these do not involve direct physical violence, they are still very harmful and should be taken seriously.
Elder abuse even includes self-neglect, which occurs when an elder fails to take care of their own basic needs. Self-neglect is not the fault of a third-party perpetrator, but caretakers must still be on guard to notice and prevent it.
What are the signs of abuse and neglect?
There are many signs that you should keep an eye out for. The first, and most obvious, will be physical injuries. If your loved one has bruises, cuts, or broken bones, and there's no clear explanation as to why, then this is a big red flag that physical abuse may be going on.
You may also notice emotional changes in your elderly loved one. They may become withdrawn, have nightmares, become irritable, or experience signs of depression. If you notice these signs, then try broaching the topic with your elderly loved one gently and patiently, and letting them know that you're there to help them.
If an elderly loved one is being neglected, you may notice signs of poor care. For instance, they may be unwashed or have dirty clothes or hair on a regular basis, or they may suddenly become thinner. If their medical care is being neglected, then they will likely exhibit physical symptoms.
Finally, you should keep an eye out whenever you visit the nursing home. If the staff seem inattentive, irritated, or irresponsible, or if conditions seem unsanitary, then this may be a sign of a problem.
Not all elders who exhibit one or even several of these signs will be victims of abuse. Sometimes accidents happen and it's no one's fault. Sometimes elderly people get sick, lose weight, or become withdrawn for reasons unrelated to physical abuse.
Don't jump to conclusions. But do be suspicious and ask questions.
Who do you call for elder abuse?
If you believe that a case of elder abuse is happening, you should report it to the authorities.
If an elder is in immediate physical danger, then call 911 immediately. Your first priority is ensuring everyone's safety. If it is not an emergency, but there still may be criminal activity going on, then you should call the non-emergency police number.
In addition, you should report any cases of elder abuse to the Georgia state government here. They are empowered to investigate cases of suspected elder abuse, and to impose sanctions when necessary.
When making a report, you should be as detailed as possible, and include any relevant information about the incident of elder abuse, including any evidence you may have. Just give the facts, and don't get too angry or emotional, even if that can be hard sometimes.
Of course, the government is not always as responsive to elder abuse cases as it should be. That is why, if you are pursuing such a case, you will likely need the help of an experienced personal injury attorney who specializes in elder law.
A highly regarded and well-respected trial lawyer, author and speaker, Reza Torkzadeh is the founder and managing attorney of TorkLaw – a premier plaintiff's personal injury law firm specializing in complex catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.
Reza's performance in and out of the courtroom has earned him several of the industry's top awards and professional recognitions, and a reputation as an elite litigator. He has earned millions in settlements, verdicts, and judgments for his clients.

Dropping property values will mean tax increases of at least 10 cents per $100 assessed valuation for families in the Fort Osage and Center school districts.
Center will increase its levy by 16 cents — 0.1679 to be exact. In Fort Osage, the levy will be increased by 10 cents even.
School districts throughout the state have set their final levies. In many cases, taxing rates have not moved dramatically from the previous year. Grain Valley managed to drop by a fraction of a cent.
Credit state law and changing property values for the small fluctuations. When assessed property values go up, the state requires the levy to go down, to keep the revenue neutral. When values go down, school districts have the option of raising the levies.
In many cases, levies haven't changed at all. Kansas City, Grandview, Blue Springs and Raytown all kept the same tax rates this year as last.
But in Center and Fort Osage districts, the change was more pronounced.
Fort Osage officials said the tax increase was a result of a dramatic drop in property values. Assessed values this year are $24.5 million less than they were in 2008.
"The historic drop in property values is the driving force behind the district's need to increase the debt service levy," said Superintendent Mark Enderle.
The entire increase goes into the debt service fund, which is used to pay off bonds.
Stephanie Smith, spokewoman for the district, said bonds were issued in 2004 to build Indian Trails Elementary School and in 2011 for maintenance, air handling systems and roofing.
However property values have not kept pace in the district, which includes Buckner and part of Independence. There is some hope on the horizon for property values, though, with development along Little Blue Parkway, Smith said.
Officials in the Center School District, in south Kansas City, officials say its "landlocked" status makes it difficult to compensate when property values decline.
Center stretches from State Line Road to the Blue River and includes the Ward Parkway mall area. But it is surrounded on all sides by other districts, limiting the opportunity for new housing developments to increase the tax base, said district spokeswoman Kelly Wachel.
The Center district has lost more than $10 million in assessed valuation in recent years, Wachel said. In 2009, voters approved a 72-cent levy increase for a $6.5 million bond to do maintenance on existing buildings. It was the first increase in four years. Since then, the levy has been rolled back a bit, she said.
The increase didn't solve every problem, however, The district also has had to make painful cuts, Wachel said. In 2009, the district cut 20 percent of its staff.
This year's increase will go "just to maintain a normal operational cash flow," she said.

As part of the EEOC's guidance addressed in the previous article, the EEOC also issued "The Mental Health Provider's Role in a Client's Request for a Reasonable Accommodation at Work." Now, it is hard to know whether mental health care providers will be reading employment law blogs or reading the EEOC's website so how can this help you? Here's how.
You need to understand, first, that the health care provider is still bound by patient-physician privilege. The doctor won't talk to you, and shouldn't. You will get your information through your employee. You need to find the best and most expeditious way to get the information you need so you can evaluate the situation and make decisions.
The EEOC provides some useful guidance to the health care practitioner which you can use in your communications. It advises the health care practitioner that he/she can provide the following types of documentation, in plain language, to best serve the patient in these situations:
As anyone who has been faced with accommodating mental health disabilities knows, these issues can be complicated. Getting clear, concise information from the health care provider can make the interactive process much smoother. While the health care provider's suggested accommodations are not mandatory (meaning it is still the employer that must determine whether it is "reasonable" as defined by the ADA), it is very helpful to have the input from a medical professional.
This guidance may prove useful to employers as they draft a letter for their employee to take to the employee's health care provider. If you might have previously thought – what kinds of questions can I ask of this health care provider – you now have some help.

Using your garage as a work area for home projects can be a great way to get more out of the space, but you may find yourself shivering as temperatures drop in winter. Garages aren't known for being well insulated, so heating this drafty space can leave you with a staggering electric bill. If you want to heat your garage on a budget, here are a few options.
Add Insulation
A well-insulated garage will retain heat and keep your heating bill low. Adding insulation to the garage door is one of the easiest ways to keep drafts out and heat in. This insulation kit has everything you need to get started.
Adding sturdy mildew resistant indoor/outdoor carpeting will also warm up your space and provide extra insulation.
Natural Gas Vent-Free Heaters
A vent-free space heater is an upfront investment, but you won't be surprised with electric bills since these heaters run on natural gas or kerosene. This also makes them a great option for detached garages without electricity, or for areas that have frequent power outages.
Energy Efficient Space Heaters
An energy efficient space heater will raise your electricity bill—but not drastically. This infrared heater has a 500 and 1000 watt setting so you can save energy while heating up to 500 square feet. It also plugs directly into a normal 110-volt outlet, and the wall-mounted design is a space saver. The initial cost is also affordable.

This is what I write when I have nodded off and don't remember what I am doing.
Because I am getting so many more new subscribers, I have decided that it's time to start offering some goodies to those that want them.
All you have to do is to email me and ask for free ebooks that will help you in your business or social life and I will send you what I can. It saves you having to hunt for good information yourself.
So don't be shy. There are lots of you now so there's strength in numbers. Also tell me what you would like me to write about and I will do that as well.
The ball is now in your court so let me know what you want/need…don't be embarrassed to ask. I am more than happy to help but I can't help unless I know what YOU want. I can't help you unless you tell me what you want.

One day Adam's teacher told the class that everyone must find out a moral for
the next day's class.
One boy came in and said, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch".
The second boy said, "Don't judge a book by its cover."
Then Adam came in with a broken jaw and black eyes and said, "I asked my Uncle
Johnny for a moral, and he told me to shut up. I told him he had to help me
because it was homework." The teacher said, "What is the moral, Johnny?"
Many many years ago when I was twenty three, I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother, For she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse, Although it brought me joy. I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle, Though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, Then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter Who, of course, was my step-mother.
Father's wife then had a son, Who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, For he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother And it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, She's my grandma too.
If my wife is my grandmother, Then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become The strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!!

"Hi honey, this is Daddy, Is Mommy near the phone?"
"No Daddy, She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Frank."
"Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on the
table, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door, and shout to Mommy that
Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway."
"Okay Daddy, just a minute."
A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone.
"I did it Daddy."
"And what happened honey?" he asked.
"Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn't moving at all!"
"Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Frank?"
"He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on too. He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead"
***Long Pause***
***Longer Pause***
Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool, what swimming pool? Is this 937-2819?"

Osama says, "I want a wall around all of afghanastan so not one Muslim can get out and no one can get in, ever." And bam it's done. Then Uncle Sam says, "So how tall is this wall?" "Well it's 6000 feet high," says the genie. "And how thick is it?" The genie says, "Well it's 4000 feet wide nothing can get in or out." Uncle Sam finaly says his wish: "Fill it with water."--9+

- Abstract:
- Rivers and estuaries around the world are the focus of human settlements and activities. Needs for clean water, ecosystem preservation, commercial navigation, industrial development, and recreational access compete for the use of estuaries, and management of these resources requires a detailed understanding of estuarine morphology and sediment dynamics. This article presents an overview of the first estuary-wide study of a heavily used estuary, the Hudson River, based on high-resolution acoustic mapping of the river bottom. The integration of three high-resolution acoustic methods with extensive sampling reveals an unexpected complexity of bottom features and allows detailed classification of the benthic environment in terms of riverbed morphology, sediment type, and sedimentary processes.

City Councilor Scott Walker of Port Townsend, Washington is working to build a walkable, bikeable community where the car is not essential. As a result, the town has designated many undeveloped streets and "connectors" as non-motorized routes. He says, "Build safe, convenient facilities for walking and biking, and they sprout people." Watch Janaia test ride Scott's electric bike, which "flattens the town" as if there were no hills.

The Bioanalytical services department at Algorithme Pharma has years of experience in innovative method development including complex molecule and metabolite testing using animal studies. Our strength is our partnership with clients. A direct relationship is established at the inception of method development, with the scientist responsible for the method, and continues throughout the process.
One of our main focuses during method development is to have methods that are free of interference from metabolites. In collaboration with our sponsors, we perform a thorough literature research and review of the investigator brochure to determine the presence of potentially unstable metabolites. If no information on metabolites is available at the preclinical stage, investigation with the samples will be done to determine the presence of suspected metabolites. Our goal with this procedure is to ensure that our reported results are not biased by the presence of a metabolite that could convert to the analyte of interest.
Once a method is ready for validation and sample analysis, a special team is dedicated to the preclinical work in order to continue the relationship established during method development. All work is conducted in compliance with GLP standards and current regulatory guidelines.

Exam week can bring out the best and the worst in students, particularly those also focused on athletics as well.
This far from his first rodeo, Myrtle Beach boys basketball coach Craig Martin was somewhat concerned with how his team would respond, with what is at stake on the hardwood and more importantly in the classroom.
While report cards have yet to render their final results for the past semester, the Seahawks made sure to not simply skirt by in their second Region VII-4A test at St. James.
Still seething from a loss at top-ranked Wilson last week, Myrtle Beach cruised to an easy 73-46 win over an undermanned St. James squad Thursday night.
A 25-2 spurt by the Seahawks, starting late in the first and spanning well into the second, turned what seemed to be a competitive contest into a blowout. According to Martin, after the way his team practiced this past week, he had a good feeling walking into "The Shark Tank."
"We had a good week of practice, which is surprising considering it is exam week and it's typically not a good one," he said. "We came in really focused on what we wanted to do, and what we wanted to prepare for. They did a good job of focusing on what needed to be done, and got out there and executed."
Myrtle Beach (8-7, 1-1 Region VII-4A) was particularly effective from deep range, knocking down eight 3-pointers in the game.
"We have some pretty decent shooters, we may not always show it, but we do," Martin said. "It's just a matter of getting in the game and doing it, they've shown it in practice. Tonight, when they squared up and got comfortable, they made some nice shots."
At one point, the Seahawks lead ballooned to 32, causing frustrations on the St. James sideline to boil over. The Sharks (6-11, 0-2 Region VII-4A) were called for two technical fouls in the game, one of which was directed at head coach Jeremy Heinold after disputing a call.
Though not wanting to talk about what transpired with referees, St. James boys coach did point blame at himself for his team's effort.
"Myrtle Beach played at a speed we had not seen in a long time, and we did not do a good job of adjusting to it," Heinold said. "We didn't do a good job hanging on to the ball, didn't do a good job of being tough, didn't do a good job of being mentally prepared. And that's my fault, I have to get them where they are mentally tough, I have to get them where they are physically tough and I have to get them to where if we miss a shot, we don't pout and hold our head down."
Myrtle Beach's Emorie Knox led all scorers with 19 points, with Robert Swanson chipping in 15 of his own — all of which came in the first period.
Trey Myers scored 15 points to lead St. James in a losing effort.
MB (73): Lebrone Woodbury 4, Jayce Allen 2, Robert Swanson 15, Brady Vest 6, JaQuan Chestnut 8, Blake John 2, Avery O'Connell 2, Kylis Vereen 1, Emorie Knox 19, O'Neil McBride 5, Ben Mintz 2, Tamir Brown 7.
STJ (46): Trey Myers 15, Jordan Furlough 7, Cam Williams 6, Alex Holmes 5, Mabry Godbold 2, Marcus Cange 5, Payton Lewis 5, Andrew Gasperson 2.
3-pointers: MB 8 (Swanson 2, Vest 2, Knox 3, McBride), STJ 4 (Myers, Holmes, Cange, Lewis). Team fouls: MB 19, STJ 19. Fouled out: Furlough (STJ). Technical fouls: Holmes (STJ), Bench (STJ), McBride (MB).
Records: MB (8-7, 1-1 Region VII-4A), STJ (6-11, 0-2 Region VII-4A)
Jennifer Dennison didn't need some sort of fiery halftime speech. Her team's performance in the first half Thursday night at St. James said enough.
Despite being up by a sizable margin, the Myrtle Beach girls basketball coach felt her team was not playing up to its potential.
As a result, a different group of Seahawks took the floor in the second half, outscoring the host Sharks 23-1 in the third quarter, en route to a 59-20 win.
"We just came out and played relaxed," Dennison said. "We told them they needed to pick up the defensive intensity at halftime, and we did a better job in the second half. So you know, a win's a win."
Kiana Adderton was steady throughout, scoring 19 points and pulling down seven rebounds in a winning effort. Nia Sumpter also reached double figures, racking up 15 points and eight rebounds.
Abigail Rumpf led the way for St. James with 6 points.
MB (59): Jalah Horton 2, Ivy Collins 9, Janell Horton 8, Kiana Adderton 19, Nia Sumpter 15, Tatyanna Hollins 2, Ajia Kelly 4.
STJ (20): Cherish Washington 4, Dominique Gross 1, Kaswana Haynes 2, Abigail Rumpf 6, Hunter Clapham 3, Alexus Alston 4.
3-pointers: MB 0, STJ 3 (Rumpf 2, Clapham). Team fouls: MB 9, STJ 11. Fouled out: None. Technical fouls: None.
Records: MB 11-2 (2-0 Region VII-4A), STJ 5-10 (0-2 Region VII-4A)
