Named after the French town in which it was founded, Baccarat glassworks was established in 1764, with a seal of approval from King Louis XV. By 1823, Baccarat was the leading crystalworks in France. These days, Baccarat retains that reputation, with their exquisite line of crystal jewelry, accessories, home decor and lighting.
The Plume 24 Light Crystal Chandelier is available with the following:
- Matte Borosilicate glass shades
- Stainless Steel finish
- One Red Baccarat crystal pendant
- Suspension chain and canopy sold separately
- Twenty-four 10 Watt low voltage G4 Halogen lamps (not included).
Compare Brightness:
The amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.Wattage
A measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)Bulb Shape
Bulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.Base
The part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.Voltage
Indicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.Light Color Temperature
The relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).Average Rated Life
The average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.CRI
CRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.- Fixture: Height 38.61", Diameter 33.93"

More good news concerns the Philips 32PFL6007T's handling of standard definition sources. Pixel Precise HD might not be Philips' most powerful processing system, but it's still potent enough to add enough extra detail to leave images looking sharp without making noise look too aggressive. So long as you've got the unhelpful sharpness boosting element of the processing turned off, anyway.
Predictably given the slimness of the Philips 32PFL6007's bezel and its relative affordability, it struggles most with black level response. The dynamic contrast system is a touch clumsy, in that it can make its brightness adjustments look slightly too obvious at times. Yet if you don't use it, dark images look rather grey and washed out.
We were also a little disappointed to see an area of at times quite distracting backlight inconsistency, spreading out from part of the top left edge of the image.
The Philips 32PFL6007T can actually produce a slightly deeper black than most edge LED TVs at its price point once you've set it up to its best advantage. Though even at this point there's a compromise in that the shadow detail levels of calibrated pictures are only fair.
Other smaller picture issues are a slightly noisy look to images, even without the sharpness boosting system engaged, and the potential for brightly lit skin tones to 'flare out' a little, as the screen fails to fully resolve subtle colour and brightness differences at the very brightest end of the spectrum.
When it comes to 3D, the Philips 32PFL6007T employs LG's Passive system. Which works out very nicely indeed, allowing it to produce clean, natural-looking, bright and untiring 3D images devoid of the flicker and ghosting noise associated with Philips active 3D TVs.
Motion looks cleaner and more authentic in 3D than it does on the majority of mid-range 3D TVs too, and best of all the relative smallness of the Philips 32PFL6007T's screen allows it to almost completely 'hide' passive 3D's usual shortcomings of a slightly reduced resolution and some jaggedness over contoured edges.
The only complaint we can muster against a more or less exemplary mid-range 3D performance, in fact, is that inevitably 3D isn't as immersive and therefore effective on a 32-inch screen as it is on much larger screens. But at least what 3D impact there can be from such a screen size is delivered with aplomb.
Many TVs we've tested that use LG's passive 3D technology have curiously suffered with high levels of input lag, where the TV takes longer to produce pictures on screen than a fan of fast-reaction games will be happy with. However, the Philips 32PFL6007 is an exception to this, turning in a respectable average input lag measurement of around 38ms. This is a touch higher than the best screens around, but it's also only around half as high as that of most passive 3D screens.
Please note, though, that achieving this figure requires you to activate the screen's 'Computer' mode, and then turn off as much processing as you can find, including the set's dynamic contrast and colour boosting features.
For a TV with such a tiny frame, the Phliips 32PFL6007 turns out a quite credible soundstage. Inevitably there's not as much bass as we'd like, but the frame is sufficiently robust to deliver a fair amount of volume without succumbing to distortion; voices sound clear and natural even during action scenes; and treble detailing is apparent without sounding over-dominant.
The Philips 32PFL6007T's flawed presentation of dark scenes prevent it earning the same level of recommendation Philips' other recent LCD TVs have. That said, its canny combination of multimedia features, Ambilight design and serious picture processing is strong for its price point, and except for when you're watching very dark scenes its pictures are still unusually strong for the sub-£600 price level.

Verizon: Disabled People Are Why We Can't Have Net Neutrality
Verizon lobbyists on Capitol Hill are suddenly championing a new cause in their push to end net neutrality: Speedy Internet access for the disabled.
First revealed on Mother Jones, three sources at the nation's capital have brought up that the company is using the plight of disabled people to convince congressional lawmakers to end the push for a free and open Internet. They argue the need for a fast-laned internet is essential for certain special services used by disabled people.
Members of the American Association of People with Disabilities have chimed in on the matter. Mother Jones reported Mike Perriello, president and CEO of the AADP, said this was the "first time" he had heard "these specific talking points" about needing to end net neutrality to help people with disabilities. He agreed that some disabled people require a fast Internet connection to access technologies that help them communicate and go about their lives, but called the timing of Verizon's sudden concern for disabled people "convenient."
Some net neutrality advocates have formed their own opinion as well, calling the move "disingenuous." Verizon has failed to publicly announce a stance on net neutrality, but defended their move to Mother Jones as simply "not disingenuous."
The FCC has announced that regardless of whether a fast-lane Internet is implemented, special service sites for the disabled will in fact have priority Internet access lanes.
Back in 2009, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg warned of the possible setbacks in life-saving technologies if the ability to prioritize data were to be stripped away.
The war for net neutrality has many fronts. Recently, Netflix and Verizon duked it out over who pays the tab for Internet traffic to the video-streaming service. Backdoor deals have already been struck between Netflix and some of the bigger Internet service providers. While companies like Comcast have improved their connection to the site, Verizon has only diminished theirs, causing Netflix to flag Verizon's poor connection on their video loading screens.

Winter hardy to USDA Zone 10. DIAMOND FROST is grown in most of the U. S. including the St. Louis area as an annual. It performs well in dry to medium moisture, moderately fertile, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Soils must be sharply drained. Allow soils to dry before rewatering. Moist soils and/or over watering can be fatal. Plants generally have good heat and drought tolerance. Site plants in containers or in the garden. Garden plants may be spaced 10"-12" apart. Containers may be brought indoors before first fall frost for overwintering in a sunny window where they may continue to flower. Cut back stems and take containers outdoors in spring after last frost date. Many gardeners simply repurchase new plants each spring.
'Inneuphe', commonly sold under the trade name of DIAMOND FROST, is a vigorous spurge that produces a profuse, non-stop bloom of tiny white flowers from spring to frost. Plants typically grow to 12-18" tall on generally upright stems clad with gray-green leaves. Tiny white flowers reminiscent of baby's breath (Gypsophila) bloom freely. This plant is sometimes listed as a cultivar of Chamaesyce hypericifolia. U.S. Plant Patent Applied For (PPAF).
No known serious insect or disease problems. Root rot may occur in poorly drained or wet soils. Watch for aphids, mealybugs and spider mites. If sensitive to the toxic plant saps of euphorbias, it is best to use gloves when working with this plant.
Abundant bloomer for landscape areas, border fronts, hanging baskets and containers. May be grown as a houseplant.
Thank You!

New Road, Windermere, LA23 2LA
Towns and Villages
"Just the right level of kind attention"
Towns and Villages
One of the Lake District's most popular destinations, the lively and attractive town of Ambleside is less than five miles away from the Howbeck Guest House, situated at the head of Windermere, England's largest lake.
It is a popular starting point for walking, mountaineering and mountain biking trips, with plenty of outdoor shops and a good choice of popular pubs and restaurants providing much-needed refreshments to hungry hikers.
While you're pottering around Ambleside, look out for the National Trust's Bridge House, a quaint building built on a tiny bridge over the Stock Ghyll more than 300 years ago, which is believed to have originally been a summer house and apple store for Ambleside Hall. It now serves as an information centre for the National Trust.
Roman fort of GalavaA little south of the town, on the shore of Windermere at Borrans Park, you'll find the remains of the Roman Fort of Galava -- just a short walk from the Waterhead Ferry Terminal. Dating to the 1st or 2nd century AD, and protected on two sides by water, the fort housed some 500 soldiers and was built to defend the lower fells of South Lakeland from invasion by the Picts and Scots, as well as guarding the road to the Roman Port at Ravenglass via Hardknott Pass. It is one of a series of fortified structures protecting the key trade routes through Cumbria. Archaeological excavations carried out between 1914 and 1920 by R.G. Collingwood discovered the remains of the fort's defences, as well as sections of the internal building arrangement, all of which can bee seen by visitors today -- including the main gate, the south gate, the commanding officer's house, and the granaries and headquarters building.
To see displays of artefacts retrieved from the fort, you need to visit the Kendal Museum of Natural History and Archaeology.
The town's museum, library and gallery holds a fascinating collection of photographs, art works, documents and objects covering the local and natural history of Ambleside and the wider Lake District.
Visitors can view watercolours by Beatrix Potter of natural history and archaeological subjects; see the Beggars' Entry Book for Ambleside and other documents relating to the Poor Law; and browse a huge photographic collection of around 23,000 albums, prints, portfolio works and glass plate negatives by local photographers such as Herbert Bell and the Abraham brothers. The museum also contains art works by Kurt Schwitters, including the 'Wood on Wood' assemblage created in 1947 whilst the artist was living in Ambleside. Visitors can see the plans for the Ambleside railway; Ruskin's letters to his doctor and other personal correspondence; and archaeological displays featuring Neolithic stone axes, Bronze Age weapons, and an archive of Collingwood's excavations of the Roman Fort of Galava - amongst many other interesting artefacts.
About a mile out of town, the Waterhead Pier ferry terminal at the edge of Windermere offers passenger services across the lake to Bowness-on-Windermere and Lakeside, with fabulous views over the water and the surrounding fells. A horse-drawn carriage transports passengers between Waterhead Pier and the centre of Ambleside.
Places to see nearby...In the nearby village of Rydal, surrounded by wooded fells, you can visit William Wordsworth's house at Rydal Mount.
The charming village of Elterwater is also just a few miles west of Ambleside, behind Loughrigg and Silver How, by the entrance to Great Langdale.
And if you enjoy scenic dries, take the short trip from Ambleside to Glenridding, on the south western shore of Ullswater, along the dramatic Kirkstone Pass.

Circles and Lines: Extract Those Attributes!
15 Sep, 2005 By: Lynn Allen CadalystLearn to extract attributes, create linked tables and save yourself some time
Last month I wrote about creating attributes, and I planned to follow up on that with a tutorial about editing attributes. But after perusing the Cadalyst website, I discovered a fabulous article by Bill Fane that tackles the topic beautifully. So I suggest you read his masterpiece as part of the ongoing saga on attributes, and I'm going to jump right over attribute editing to extracting the data -- something that AutoCAD 2006 greatly improved.
Most users extract attributes from a drawing file because they want to tally or count something. Maybe they're creating a bill of materials, a door schedule or a lighting schedule. Some users still do all their counting by hand, which does not allow the computer to call on one of its strengths -- math! If you play your cards right, AutoCAD can do most of the work, even creating a nice linked table that will automatically update whenever you add or remove more blocks. The technology for extracting attributes in AutoCAD continues to get easier (thankfully).
Eattext Command
The magic command for extracting attributes is Eattext, which entered our world with AutoCAD 2002. Eattext, which stands for Enhanced Attribute Extraction, is located in the Tools menu. Selecting it will execute the Attribute Extraction wizard, which will walk you through the process one friendly step at a time. Let's take a look. If you wish to follow along, simply open a drawing that has multiple blocks with attributes.
Upon entering the Eattext command for the first time, you need to create your table from scratch. After you've set up all the parameters for your attribute extraction, you can save them to a template file, making subsequent attribute extractions much faster. The first page of the wizard shows you the two mentioned options, using an existing template or starting one from scratch (figure 1).
Figure 1. The first time you perform an extraction, you'll probably have to set up the table from scratch. |
You can choose to extract attributes from all the blocks in your drawing, a subset of the blocks in your drawing or from multiple drawings (figure 2). You can drill down even further by selecting Additional Settings, which allows you to include nested blocks, blocks within xrefs and so forth. You can also instruct AutoCAD to count only the blocks lying in model space.
Figure 2. You can include the blocks from the current drawing or multiple drawings. |
Selecting the Right Information
The third page of the Attribute Extraction wizard is the key to selecting the information you want to include in your final table. Here you'll find a list of all the blocks in the drawing(s) on the left and their various properties on the right. By default everything will be selected -- you choose the information you need. A right-click in the display window makes it easy for you to check or uncheck all the boxes quickly. You also can change the name of anything you come across for attribute extraction purposes. For example, maybe you named an attribute tag MFGNO (because no spaces are allowed when you're defining an attribute tag), but in the actual table you'd like it to say "Manufacturing No." Here you can temporarily change the name (emphasis on temporarily, as it won't change the actual block attribute tag).
AutoCAD will want to display all the blocks in the drawing file within this listing, even the ones without attributes, so a new option, "Exclude blocks without attributes," was added to AutoCAD 2006. If you think about it, why should they show up anyway? Eattext also wants to display all the possible information about each attribute -- including the position, angle, layer and so forth. You are more than likely only interested in the attribute tag -- hence, the new option that allows you to exclude general block properties.
So your job here is to select the blocks from which you want to extract the information, then select the specific attributes you are interested in adding to the table. In my example, I am creating a lighting schedule. I want only those blocks that are lights, and I want only specific attributes such as watts, price and manufacturing number. So I selected the lighting blocks on the left and the specific parameters on the right (figure 3).
Figure 3. Select just the attributes you want to include in the final table. |
Note: If you are using AutoCAD 2006, you'll discover that any parameters assigned to your dynamic blocks also display in Eattext. Just imagine the capabilities here!
After you've selected your attributes, you'll get a chance to view and reorganize the final output before it's too late (figure 4). AutoCAD 2006 makes it easy to reorder the columns with a simple drag-and-drop. A right-click on the header bar lets you easily sort by ascending or descending, rename the columns, filter, etc. You'll also find a full preview button that gives you a clearer vision of your extraction table. In AutoCAD 2006 the key feature here is the ability to save the extract to an AutoCAD table, so make absolutely sure you have that selected!
Figure 4. Eattext gives you a chance to view the output before it is final. |
Selecting a Table Style
If you selected an AutoCAD table (which we've all agreed you should!), you'll need to point out the table style you want Eattext to use. If you don't have one defined yet, you can select the Browse button and create a new table style on the fly! Some programmer was really thinking here -- how frustrating to get this far only to find out you had to cancel and create a table style?
Figure 5. Eattext needs to know the table style you want to use for your output. |
This page also allows you to disable the balloon notification that appears whenever the table needs to be updated. I suggest you leave that on for now so you can get the gist of the new linked tables.
And finally, you can save all those settings to a template so you don't have to go through the entire process again.
Click Finish, and you'll be asked to place your shiny new table in your drawing file. Voila!

Right from the start, I must disappoint many readers by the unexciting conservatism of my poetic techniques. After experimenting with more easy-going prosodies, I've found it more effective to adhere to the admittedly arbitrary laws of conventional rhyme and meter. In the history of English literature these have again and again been discarded as "outworn" but have returned to outwear the discarders. Irregular scansion can be useful onomatopoeia to bring out a jolt in the mood or the narrative. But as Amy Lowell's revolt illustrated, this is a habit-forming drug. Used once too often in poetry, irregularity becomes just another kind of regularity, that of prose.
Equally conservative is my passionate conviction that the time is now ripe for a frontal assault on obscurity as inartisticprovided the assault is not allowed to play into the hands of those who want a pretext for being lazy about...

In this world of politics, drugs, and crime, this particular crime has reached epidemic proportions. The victims range from two weeks to eighteen years of age. The perpetrators are most often a parent, caregiver, teacher, relative or even a clergyman. The perpetrators are from all lifestyles and various stages of the social classes. There is no way to identify this person just by looks alone. The crime… CHILD ABUSE.

The United States government defines child abuse as "physical injury that is non-accidental or neglect that is an imminent risk to a child. Child being defined as a person under the age of eighteen."

Public awareness of child abuse has actually grown since the 1960's, however, it is still not fully aware of exactly what is child abuse… of course neither is the government.

In the 1960's, most of the actual cases reported were neglect cases, more than actual physical abuse.

There are various types of child abuse and few that many people are not aware of that exist.

The "battered child" , where physical abuse is the issue is where beatings occur, whether it would be from hands, feet or a household item, has been on the upswing of reports. The various agencies have stated that the beatings have been multiplying over the past twenty-five years.

Physical neglect, which also falls into the category of physical abuse, involves the actual care and health of the child and of their home environment. Whether or not there is food in the refrigerator or clean clothes, or even how their pets are taken care of. In the early 1960's, the reports that people were turning into the carious children's services were more along the neglect category than any other. It may have been due to the Dawning of the Sexual revolution, where children were having children and not ready for the responsibility of caring for them.

One Such case, involved a three year old toddler, that was found in a closet covered with feces and had a sever case of rickets. A childhood disease, where the bones are softened due to lack of vitamin D. The child was taken from the mother and the mother was charged with neglect of this toddler.

Educational neglect is third on the popularity charts of abuse. It speaks for itself. The Child's parents don't show any interest in the child's education and do not enforce the fact that the child must be in school until that child is in twelfth grade or eighteen.

Emotional abuse preys on the child's feelings on how he or she feels about not only himself or herself but also about life itself and their parents or any near person to them. Always seeing their parents fight or arguing in front of the child, or putting the child down are forms of abuse Never praising the child is also a form of abuse.

The public must be made aware of this growing problem of child abuse and what it actually is. The statistics surrounding child abuse and what can or can't be done about it must also be made readily available to the public. The first project is making the public aware of this crime. These children, in most cases are too young to testify against the perpetrators in most cases or they do not want to betray the person they trusted, even though they themselves were betrayed. Child abuse is ranked among one of the leading causes of children's deaths. In 1960's statistics show that reported cases reached 60,000 and in 1970, it showed a rise of over 500%, not including the unknown cases due to people not wanting to get involved or start a family feud.

PREVENTION MUST START AT HOME.

You posted a photo on Find A Grave Memorial# 8168128. There are two John Hodapps in that lot but neither is the ballplayer. The photo Bill Lee posted is the right one.

Thomas Satterwhite Noble
I have run across, in an auction, an early photo of Mr. Noble. I tried to add it to his memorial on here, but was not allowed to do that. Perhaps it is how you have it set? Anyway, the photo came with the following information, and I will be happy to provide the image to you , if you wish to have it. I do not come to this site often, so if you want to reach me, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you do not mind, put Mr. Noble's name in the heading, so it will stand out from the tons of unwanted mail I receive daily. Thanks! I am putting the link for that auction here, also. If it works, and you know how to do it, you can lift the photo yourself, and bypass me!
*Thomas Satterwhite Noble (1835 - 1907), "Portrait of Thomas S. Noble", Original tinted photograph, framed. -- A prominent 19th century artist from Lexington, KY, Noble was born on a plantation to a family of slave-owners. He was well known for creating Civil War era historical paintings depicting the cruelty of slavery. Classically trained in France and New York, Noble painted many subjects in the realistic style of the day, from portraiture to still life to landscapes. An influential regional artist, he was the first head of the Art Academy of Cincinnati.

Hello Kevin. I submitted some corrections to some graves in this cemetery that you manage, but as of yet, you have not approved them.
Daniel Reddington #18769122
Elizabeth Ashcroft #18768943
Over the past several years, I have submitted several corrections to graves you manage. You have always accepted them--I am a professional genealogy researcher. You have even commented back to me that you enjoyed my stories that I have posted--including the Stallo and McDonald graves in the Spring Grove Cemetery--I remember that.
Anyway, I have researched the Reddington-Ashcraft (Ashcroft)-Jennings families, as my mother's side was a Jennings, and I am positive of the information that I submitted to you. Would you please accept the corrections that I have sent you for these graves, and any other corrections that I sent you for the graves in the Franklin Methodist Cemetery? If you require proof, please reply back, and I will send you the parts of my report that document these corrections. Thank you very much.

Franklin Methodist Cemetery
Hello. I have submitted some corrections to the memorials at this cemetery. It is odd, however, but the Russel family actually did spell their name as Russel (not Russell). (But I did see one stone with it spelled as Russell, a later death, when they may have started changing the spelling.)
The Russel family came from Bucks County, PA and settled into Colerain Township in the early 1800s. They migrated with the Baker family and the Richardson family, headed up by the patriarch Clement Richardson (1750-1827), and the Baker family, headed up by James Baker and his wife Francis Richardson Baker.
I also submitted a correction to you for the spelling of Clement's first name. His wife was Catherine Baker Richardson, also buried here. Their son Clement (born 1794) was actually named William Clement Richardson, and his wife was Ardilla Baker Richardson, who was probably related to his mother Catherine. The Russel, Richardson, and Baker families left Cincinnati sometime after 1850 and migrated to Illinois. Thank you for posting the graves in the Franklin Methodist Cemetery.

Politics as usual
By Denis Storey
Believe it or not, Democrats and Republicans are still fighting over a group of people some would argue neither have cared about for decades.
Last week, I brought up a bill Republicans are trying to push through that would bail out the so-called "uninsurables fund." And, honestly, could you make a group sound any more depressing?
It's a stopgap fund, dubbed The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, meant to cover those no one will cover now but won't be covered by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act until January.
But the thing is, the Obama administration didn't do a very good job of paying for it, since the fund ran dry a full year early.
At any rate, House Republicans tried to stopgap the stop gap.
You'd think the president would be pleased, right? Think again. All the president's men cried foul, accusing the Republicans of repealing part of the original law. This stems from the part of the bill that wants to stop the gap with cash — about $800 million worth — from somewhere else, a disease prevention fund. (Crazy, right? To actually have a plan in place to pay for the legisaltion you're proposing?)
The president himself got so fired up he offered up a rare veto threat, insisting that if the bill made it to his desk, it wouldn't get any farther.
I'd like to actually quote the latest AP story here, because it perfectly — and sadly — sums up the debate.
"Health and Human Services, in its breakdown of the prevention program, said that among its allocations in 2012 were $91 million for immunization, $60 million for tobacco use prevention and $146 million to support community-level efforts to reduce chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, in turn, said the fund provided grants for kickboxing and Zumba, bike lanes, pet neutering and urban gardening."
Well, don't worry about pigs flying or cats sleeping with dogs, because the GOP effort fizzled out today after withering attacks from both the left and the right. Of course, the Dems accused the Republicans of trying undermine PPACA entirely, while the hard-core righties bristled at any perceived expansion of Obamacare, even if it meant a reasoned contraction elsewhere.
So, in the end, I guess I was wrong, because the fight became less about those poor uninsurables and more about politics — and deficits — as usual.

Priebus Won't Repudiate Texas GOP Chief's Remark On Equal Pay For Women
Beth Cubriel drew the ire of Democrats on Monday after arguing that, rather than seeking legal recourse on equal pay, women should learn to better negotiate their salaries like their male counterparts.
"Men are better negotiators, and I would encourage women, instead of pursuing the courts for action, to become better negotiators," she said.
Asked Wednesday by MSNBC's Chuck Todd to respond, RNC Chair Reince Priebus dismissed the comment made by "one staffer at a state GOP office."
Priebus instead pointed to a comment Vice President Joe Biden made during the 2012 election, in which he told an audience that the policies of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would "put y'all back in chains."
"One side doesn't have a monopoly on these kinds of comments," he added.

The Nationals took my advice, and Lastings Milledge is headed upstate.
It was only a day ago that I offered the Nationals some distinctly unsolicited advice regarding the outfield. Put Elijah Dukes in center, I said, and the Devil take the hindmost! I use pretentious oaths like that.
Today the Nats totally listened to me.
Dissatisfied with his production and tired of waiting for it, the Washington Nationals today optioned Lastings Milledge to Class AAA Syracuse, indicating to their center fielder that long-term potential does not guarantee a short-term job.
Well that's refreshing, seeing as how it makes perfect sense and all. Dukes is now the everyday CF. That's not ideal, but Washington doesn't have a true centerfielder on the roster, so it's not like we're downgrading. It's not like it could get any worse, right?
It's probably the best thing for Milledge. He shouldn't be playing every day at the major league level, and playing regularly in AAA will probably be better for him than sitting his ass down next to Josh Willingham in Washington every night.
And really, this could be exactly the kick in the hindmost that Milledge needs. Everywhere he's been, he's been dogged by complaints about his work ethic and dedication. I can't imagine that handing over a major league helped that. There's nothing like an exile to upstate New York to force a guy to get his stuff in order.

Sausalito [1] is in California, across the Golden Gate bridge from San Francisco. Sausalito is a unique community, perched on a hillside between the San Francisco Bay and the Marin Headlands.
ContentsGet inBy airSan Francisco International Airport and Oakland Airport. By carSausalito is just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. By ferryTwo ferry companies serve Sausalito:
By bikeA very popular cycle for tourists to San Francisco is to hire a bike, cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge, and then down into Sausalito. Planning this the previous day will make sure you arrive in Sausalito in time for brunch. Catch the ferry back to the start. The ferries have lots of capacity to carry bikes, and a map of route is available from most bike hire places in San Francisco. Get aroundWalk About Most of the frequently visited waterfront area can be seen on foot and is easy walking distance from the ferry landing. Make sure to head north on your walk along Bridgeway to Caledonia Street - it's full of great stores, restaurants, cafes and art studios and has a great event every 2nd Wednesday of the month called "Artwalk" Bike A favorite local ride is to Sam's Restaurant in Tiburon for lunch or drinks on the huge (and very entertaining!) outdoor deck. It always seems to be sunny there, so bring your hat and sunscreen. Rent your bike at Sausalito Mountain Bike Rental (803 Bridgeway, ☎+1 415 331-4448). Another not to be missed ride is from Sausalito to Mill Valley (hit the Depot for a great lunch) and on up any bike trail on Mt. Tamalpais. This is where some people think mountain biking began. See
EatSausalito is blessed with more fine restaurants than a town of 7,000 people should have. Whatever you're looking to eat, Sausalito probably has a restaurant serving it up. Beware the 'touristy' district, however. While there are a few genuinely good restaurants, there are also a fair number of establishments catering basic grub to tourists.

The funny thing is that I had actually written "I" about drinking that wine--but then became self conscious about the lonely sound of it, and so changed it to "we" the better to convey, you know, the fellowship of moderate alcohol consumption there at our friends' house. I didn't want you to think it was somehow just me in the corner with a blanket and a bottle while everyone else sat at the table soberly planning some kind of 12-step intervention.
But then, of course, oops--I made it sound like some kind of DUI/snowstorm situation when really Michael hardly even ever drinks at all.
Because he's too busy huffing ether.
Meanwhile, here's my question of the day: if you were designing a tampon, would you play a kind of menstrual practical joke whereby you appended a string that appeared to be a handy removal advice--but was really a kind of wick to draw blood quickly from body to underpants without soiling the pristine cotton of the tampon itself? This is my question. I would not think to make such a joke myself, but I see that someone has.
And really, I'm just laughing my head off. Because it's funny to see Mama's undies soaking in the sink like she beheaded someone in the night and then mopped at their bloody neck stump with a wadded up pair of Gap bikinis. Really. It's not the stuff of future psychoanalytic emergency sessions, I'm sure. Just good old-fashioned fun.

You know, tampons are seriously in need of an update...but don't get me started on all the "new" products like the diva cup someone mentioned here. That would truly be my last resort- I'd rather go spend my week in a hut somewhere and let it flow into a hole I dug in the ground like I'm sure our pre-modern peasant ancestors did. On the drinking topic- We know you and Michael would have a designated driver system. You both love your kids too much to be stupid.
ReplyDelete Or, hey, what if I were to make that an ACTUAL LINK??
The link to the discussion- Anonymous12:35 PM
Yeah....after all you've written it seems likely that you are JUST the sort of mother who would be fine with Michael driving through a snow storm a little tipsy. You know let him put you and your kids in danger and then write about it with a shrug. Thank GOD you clarified...I loosing sleep there.
Oh...didn't someone in your house turn 4 a few weeks ago??? HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIRDY! Catherine,
I am hoping you will address this question -- perhaps on your blog. Your annual camping trips to the cape with children in tow are well documented in your writing. I am considering taking my three children (ages 6,4,2) on a two night camping trip to ocracoke island, but I am terrified I don't know how to do this right. Not that I think you are here simply to dispense advice or anything, but what are your tips and tricks to camping, at the beach (all that SAND!) with small children? Help?- Anonymous5:11 PM
"The Keeper" is AWESOME!! No kidding. I've had mine for 12 years (two kids later) and it's still AWESOME!! Hygenic, cheap (you only buy it once) and easy to use. OK, it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do , it's so much better than a tampon, pad or a patch of moss.
Really. 'Kay, The Diva Cup and The Keeper look an awful lot alike. But I just don't know. I just, don't know... though those ladies in the ads are all smiley.
ReplyDeleteI've had that happen. It stinks, but I'm not feeling the "Keeper" love either.
Its better than the cheap tampons they used to sell in tampon machines where the string only removed the bottom half of the tampon, leaving the top half to be retrieved (several yucky weeks later) by an MD.
I'm so glad I have a place to share that story.
PS, your weekend sounds lovely and now I've got to try Asiago Fresco between tortilla chips. Sounds good.Tampons and nookius interruptus and hospital issue postpartum spray bottles - you are amazing and hysterical and exactly what we need to be reading!
I can't stop laughing at the "hospital-issue postpartum spray bottle!" Mine is a bath toy now too, but I always feel slightly "cringey" when I see my son with it! Like, "Did I get it clean enough, with 2 turns through the dishwasher?"
And the only thing more annoying than that tampon wicking thing is when (I believe to use your word) the diaper tab yoinks off before you even hook the diaper, leaving you no choice but to throw that $.18 worth away...- anyababa8:45 AM
Ok--I just read your "why I'm not a drunkard and Michael is not a DUI'er" blog, and then your Wondertime journal, and I was feeling pretty solid with the reading.
Catherine, la-lah, Catherine. Not going to make me cry today. This is all lovely and sweet, but not going to make me cry today.
And then I read the last line:
"When Ben goes to write in his journal he literally scratches his head like a cartoon wonderer: "Did we even do anything today?" And I don't say it, because it's too weird and he's just a kid, but what I think is: our hearts were beating."
And now I'm crying. You're like a magician. Well thank God you cleared that up. Snort. I was wondering if you would bite and reply. Please know your regular readers wouldn't even consider this and I should know. I just knew though that it would get under your skin. It was not very nice to start with.
Let me say the Diva Cup is not for me. I have one that I have used precisely once and as fast as I got it in (not that fast let's just say) I was frantically trying to get it out. It was so uncomfortable I could barely move. I usually resort to the tampon/pad or liner combo so I am covered in case of such emergencies.
As my blog buddy Sage pointed out what is with all of us "cycling together". Here is something scary. I went to an all girls high school, imagine hundreds of girls on the same cycle - the PMS week was insane. We had very few male teachers and I can imagine their horror each month over the drama of it all.
I am off to Wondertime...lol... Oh man, Catherine, that just killed me, because I soak my underwear in our bathroom sink as well. I mean, I'd hate to do it in the kitchen sink, because its not so easy to hide... lol and upon reading that, I thought of how back when hubby and I were just dating and living in our own apartments, I'd tell him my period had started (some months, it was more of a notification that we weren't pregnant as opposed to the whole "Hey, thought you should know" lol) Now, married with a two year old, its more of the situation where he knows based on seeing the hot water in the bathroom sink with a pair of panties soaking in it.
Here's my household hint: Soak them over night in HOT water with a huge scoop of oxyclean, rinse them out in the morning, and if there's any staining left, clorox bleach pen to finish it off.
Still loving your writing!
Amber- Anonymous3:09 PM
Ok, I've been a long time reader of yours (I think I've read every word you've ever published!) and I did not question whether Michael was drinking and driving. Come on people- after all the soul bearing and honest writing C has done, let's just go ahead and presume the best...
I love late storms too- it's like, bring it on- it can't last long now. Here in MN, anthing above 40 degrees inspires spring fever... You know, I never even gave the drinking thing a second thought... Of course, I'm a drinker myself...
But as for the article over "there", I may be prudish and old fashioned or just too damn uptight, but letting the kids run around naked?? At four and seven years old?? For extended periods of time?? It sounded like it was an all day nude-a-thon!! I have trouble with that... I don't understand it, I don't appreciate it, and I certainly don't condone it... I was surprised the kids are still bathing together!
The tampon thing, not so weird for me... but the naked thing!?!? Hmmm...- Anonymous4:35 PM
Ok, I was the from MN commenting before (can't figure out how to sign in, sorry). Hayley's Mum, as far as being naked- I guess I don't understand the problem. Children do not equate nudity with anything sexual or even anything remotely close. Until they reach puberity, they are not sexual beings. So being naked for them is just pure and innocent fun. Bathing together is the same. It is adults, with all of our big ideas, that taint it into something it is not. So if a child is raised in a home where nudity is common and normal, they will grow up a)knowing what the human body looks like and b) having a healthy respect for their bodies. It is my belief that until they themselves are feeling modest, nudity is not a problem. My 4 yr old twin daughters routinely see my husband and I naked, but always in context- like they catch a glimpse coming out of the shower or whatever, but they are not "harmed" by this. In fact they don't even notice it. When they start wanting privacy, we will take our cues from them, but until then I don't see the point in making them feel ashamed of human nudity.
ReplyDelete Oh HILARIOUS!! Ok, how about getting up at 2am because there is a sense of leakage and you JUST changed the bed sheets, which doesn't happen often enough as it is so you really enjoy the feeling, and you are desperate not to spot them, so you are in the bathroom totally exhausted, running your undies under the freezing cold water in the sink because your mom told you that hot water sets the stain, and while you are standing there naked with numb fingers you look down and notice a giant red spot on the white (also just washed) bathmat. Maybe if you just sort of grind it down with a damp piece of toilet paper nobody will notice? Let's hope so! Nobody has said anything so far...
And for what it's worth? We all run around naked - we're not ashamed and there's nothing weird about it at all :-)I think you forget that most of us have brains so fuzzy that even if we wondered why Michael was driving drunk in a snowstorm, 10 seconds later, the question had vanished from our heads forever.
This ability to quickly forget what is none of our business anyway is one of the perks of parenthood. Don't you think.
I still haven't explained to Rachel why she once saw red pee, so if I admire that you're at the level where it's a fun family horror show/circus. Cool.yeah, we're nudie patooties in our house too. Both of my kids love being naked...so why not? It is what you make of it. Definitely not weird or shameful. :)
Reading what you write makes me feel normal. There are days when Eddie says "no school today mommy? then I don't want to be dressed." Who can fault the kid. So he runs around in his undies all day. Who cares? Personally, I wouldn't care if he was on the front lawn in his Spongebob underwear.
(this reminds me that I took a picture of him over the weekend in just undies, and wearing the goggles that came with a tool set he got for Christmas. Total blackmail someday.)
Ok, I'm done blowing up your comments section now. :)- The Other Elle7:18 PM
Oh Lord,
Thank you for throwing me into menopause at the age of 49, immediately upon weaning my youngest. And yes, I was 47 when he was born. Just lucky, I guess.
And tired.
The things I learn from your columns, Catherine. Diva Cups and Keepers and Moon Cups. Y'all are too young to remember "sanitary napkins" and the belts we wore to keep them in place.
So chic. Ah well, it got us out of gym class once a month. My kids would be naked all the time if we let them. We often walk into thier bedroom in the middle of the night and find the 5 year old naked. When we ask him about it the next day he always says, "it feels so comphy on my body." We are one naked family.
I think I have said before that I am a prosecutor, and one of the crimes that I prosecute is DUI. It never even crossed my mind to question whether Michael had been drinking and driving.
Your explanation of what happened gave me an odd picture in your head. My husband is getting high on the fumes from shining his shoes for work, meanwhile I am getting high from the Sharpie marker I use on the 3 year old's potty chart, while I am sharing a bottle of wine with you as Michael huffs ether in the corner. What? It could happen!- Tina G11:19 PM
It is so much fun to not only read your post, Catherine, but to check back a few days later and read all the comments! I loved the Wondertime column...an old friend of mine once confessed she and her husband would sneak out to their van to...you know...do it...and I remember thinking that was Soooo strange. Of course, when my first child was little, I was a celibate single mom, so I guess I just couldn't grasp the whole concept!!!
Oh, and to everyone with advice -I think that by now, we all know how to get blood out of our undies. We've been doing it for decades! - Anonymous2:22 AM
I never worried about the drinking and driving, either. My memory is exactly five minutes long, and I had completely forgotten by the time I finished reading it. And wow, more info here on choices than they ever taught in school! I still haven't figured out what to say when my 5yo asks about my bum bleeding, or when my 2yo says I have a booboo!
Catherine, Love ya babe! When's the NEXT BOOK coming out?
Meghan Wow... I cannot imagine saving blood, other than, you know, in donation to the Red Cross or something. It makes me think of that book "The Red Tent." Did she also have a special period tent in her backyard where she sat on bloody straw and chatted with other menstruating women once a month?

ReplyDelete Good grief, Catherine! You make a few harmless wine, tampon, and bathtime references, and now your blog is awash with comments on, but not limited to: alchoholism, Diva Cups and/or Keepers, who's cycling with whom, blood-fed zucchinis, nudity and children, and now, apparently "Celia" here is trying to sell us all bongs.
Did you ever expect you'd be such an Internet phenomenon?
P.S. We refer to it as "Naked Time" at our house. A phrase borrowed from an old Dana Carvey stand-up routine.- Krista11:37 PM
on throwing away diapers...
you don't have to throw it away if the tab rips, don't you know that duct tape fixes everything? seriously. packing tape works, too.
But EVEN BETTER... use cloth diapers. No pins anymore, they velcro and don't leak and are so much safer for the baby and less stuff in the landfills etc etc etc. check out www.comfybummy.com. It's not so bad. I swear. Even my husband and my BABYSITTERS didn't mind. (flushable or disposable liners are the way to go to handle the poop, though) It never occurred to me that you and Michael were sloshed driving the kids home. I don't think anyone who reads this blog, or your columns regularly would think that.
As far as people freaking out about the kids being naked... C'mon. I mean- condone? Really? Someone is bringing their own issues to the table. I have a seven year old daughter who is predisposed to shuck her clothing at a moments' notice. I always think that, especially for a girl, it is such a *small* window where they feel supremely comfortable with their bodies. I love that she doesn't think twice about it. It reminds me of the Dar Williams song, "When I was a Boy."- Delora11:06 PM
I must admit, in the other post it did sound like the two of you were tipsy on the drive home, and then I thought about it for a whole two seconds, which sounded something like this: "Catherine? Kind loving Catherine... would never permit drunk driving, what's going on?" So I re-read and suddenly the post was completely different. It made me feel vile that the thought had even entered my head.
ReplyDelete - Anonymous11:58 PM
Ha! I've never checked out this blog before but I'm glad I did. I seriously thought I was the only girl in the world who somehow can bleed down the string of a tampon but not on it. How? Why? I've never heard any of my friends complain of this so I assumed it was just me.

Bloomberg News
WASHINGTON – About 2.1 million people have medical coverage beginning Wednesday through Obamacare after a late surge in enrollment helped regain ground lost to the botched debut of insurance exchanges created by the U.S. health care overhaul.
More than 1.6 million Americans signed up through state and federal exchanges in December alone, according to calculations from data released Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The December tally is more than quadruple the first two months of the government's sign-up period.
The December surge provides a boost to President Barack Obama, whose fumbling of the October rollout of the insurance exchanges initially thwarted the high participation needed to spread the costs of his health care expansion. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is supposed to offer private coverage to as many as 7 million people by the end of March.
"The new law is transformational for our entire health care system and for millions of Americans who finally have health security," Kathleen Sebelius, the U.S. health secretary, told reporters on a conference call.
In addition to those gaining private insurance, about 3.9 million others have been newly determined eligible for Medicaid plans for the poor, or for state children's programs. It's not known how many of those people actually enrolled, since that process must be completed with state governments in most cases.
In Rhode Island, HealthSource RI reported Tuesday that 4,334 Rhode Islanders enrolled through the state-run health exchange between Dec. 15 and Dec. 28, nearly doubling the total private-plan enrollment to 9,803.
CVS Caremark
The government is preparing for newly insured people to begin seeking care at doctors' offices, emergency rooms and pharmacies beginning Wednesday, and is coordinating with hospitals and insurers to smooth the process, Sebelius said.

Huffington Post: Time for a foreign policy Orange Book?
6 comments:
I think that the Liberal Democrats made the right call on Iraq, but have got it wrong in both Afghanistan and Libya. What is disappointing is that noone seems to even want to debate what has gone wrong.
The UK cannot afford to be a great power, or even "punch above it's weight" anymore. This applies to the west in general for that matter. Economic power is obviously shifting to the east and this is having an impact on our political and military power as well.
There needs to be a debate about how we come to terms with our reduced role in the world. Without that we will simply repeat the same mistakes, and these come at a very high cost.Thanks. I agree that we must debate what has gone wrong with some of our interventions - even our successful interventions have often had unsuccessful aspects. I agree also that we cannot always afford to spend the resources of a great power, but we can still make a great contribution to the work of the international community. You say that economic power is shifting to the east (it's also shifting to Brazil and other places that are not in the east) - sure, the UK's National Security Council has three ministerial sub-committees, one of which is for "the UK's relationship with emerging international powers". Yes, I will read the Wainwright biography. I don't actually know what Richard Wainwright's views were on foreign policy. Having first joined the Liberal Party aged 15 in 1986, I do indeed understand where we have come from and the values that sustained us.
Although let's not be too starry eyed about Liberal history. A hundred years ago, a Liberal Prime Minister was presiding over British imperialism, denying votes to women and was on the verge of leading Britain into World War One!

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
This is the kind of thrift shop where serious thrifters do their shopping. The clothing racks, surprisingly filled with lots of brand new, brand-name items, are perfect for building wardrobe basics on a budget. Genesis Benefit Thrift store also has a deceptively good collection of books, and a nice selection of charming decorations for that dose of kitschy character your apartment desperately needs. Best of all, the few bucks you will be plunking down go to benefit victims of domestic violence. Win-win.
A well-run boutique needs a welcoming atmosphere, trendy clothes and pristine changing rooms. Oh, and booze. Rio Ritz has all of this in spades. Earlier this year, Thais Moses took her online shop and moved into an old house in Uptown. You'd be hard-pressed to find something with a price tag upward of $50 in her well-curated shop. It's a one-stop shop for an outfit or a sparkly accessory for a night out. When you walk through the doors, you're greeted with a friendly smile from the shop girls and a freshly poured mimosa. Even the most apprehensive shopper is bound to enjoy the experience of spending a minute perusing the racks in this quaint, stress-free setting. No shopping mall required.
At first glance Ross at Peak Thrift Store looks like the kind of place that is too dusty and cluttered to even bother with, especially for those of us who aren't "extreme thrifters." The space is a little stuffy and unorganized, but there are plenty of treasures hiding behind those piles of old magazines. It's true that most of the furniture here is fixer-upper material, but isn't that why you have all those damn DIY boards on Pinterest in the first place? You may want to take an allergy pill before you go, but all those bargains will be worth it.
We were heartbroken when Christine Visneau announced she'd be closing her Little Bean children's shop a few years back. And even though the shop was sold at the last minute and quickly reopened, Visneau's line of chic home-sewn children's clothing was no more. We really missed buying those vintage-inspired, beautifully constructed girl's dresses and infant rompers — and we also missed the compliments they garnered when worn by our kids or given at baby showers. But after a two-year hiatus, Visneau's seamstress days are back ... and this time, she's made togs for grown-ups, too. We love the easy lines and comfy fabrics she uses to construct on-trend tops, dresses and caftans in her East Dallas home. Her day job as a fashion stylist makes her one hell of an accessorizer, too, and Vee Caravan's online-only shop is stocked with eye-catching jewelry and other adornments. And much to our delight, the baby garments have returned as well — making this Dallas-based corner of the Internet a true one-stop shop.
There was a time when this little store off Henderson Avenue was Dallas fashion's best-kept secret. You could pop in and buy something cuter and cheaper than Urban Outfitters or TopShop and none of your friends would already own it. Now the secret's out. The clothes are still cute, but you might have to fight your way through SMU students and trendy moms. But it's still worth the trip, because if you're looking for a colorful kimono, a black jumpsuit or whatever the latest trend might be, they'll probably have it. And if you're lucky, it will be in your size.
"A lot of Highland Park moms," the clerk behind the counter at Gemma Collection replied when we asked who shopped at the University Park store. That's not a bad clientele to have when you're selling reasonably priced jewelry. The pieces in Gemma's large assortment of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc., are affordable – ranging from around $50 to less than $200 mostly – but they don't look cheap. (If your customers live in the Bubble, even the low-priced stuff had better be tasteful.) Gemma features several local designers – Chandler Nixon, Taylor Custer and Holly Zaves Designs, among others – so there are pieces to fit a range of tastes, from polished stone to dainty monogrammed items and religious icons.

This Sunday I have work wear and play frocks from Sears 1942.

I think I could work and play in those frocks! Wouldn't it be nice if nurses wore uniforms like that now days instead of those ugly scrubs? I remember when my sister was graduating from nursing school, how excited she was to get her nurses cap. Wonder if they still give them to nurses as a symbolic gesture?
