Matt Duffy 3B- 1 for 3, 2B. BA= .091. Duffy's bat has been cold so far. Maybe this will be the breakout?
Ehire Adrianza SS- 2 for 3. BA= .278. Adrianza is saying, "hey, don't forget about me!"
Johnny Cueto RHP- 1.1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 33.75. The hitters are going to be ahead of Cueto with this late a start on the spring. No worries. He'll catch up.
Adalberto Mejia LHP- 2.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 3/0. ERA= 1.93. Nice effort by Mejia here.
Sam Coonrod RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 0.00. I think this was Coonrod's spring debut, and a nice one at that!
Braulio Lara and Ray Black had 1 scoreless IP with 2 K's each.
Chris Stratton makes his second start of the spring tomorrow against the BrewCrew in Maryvale.

They were working things out with Cueto's wind ups, and that's when he developed control issues. I guess the team wanted to downplay that, but I'm unsure why.ReplyDelete
I still like ehire despite his struggles, and think he still gdp a shot at being a solid shortstop.ReplyDelete
The giants don't usually make decisions based on option years, but I won't complain if they let kelby season in AAA.

Tomlinson was moved to 2nd from his natural SS position last year and looked lost to begin, but his natural ability overcame his inexperience and no one doubted his ability to field by year's end -- nor his ability to hit .302 in the Giant move-the-line manner.ReplyDelete
Back at shortstop this spring, he has been flawless in the field showing he is Crawford's backup of the future, or until Arroyo is ready and plays his way into the lineup somewhere.
Tomlinson must LOSE his spot to a display of excellence, not sentimentality.Replies
I see Tomlinson winning the back up SS job which will enable the Giants to replace Adrianza with a much bigger bat like a Kyle Blanks or a Conor Gillaspie.Delete

I'm in this line as well. Not that Adrianza is having a bad spring necessarily, but I'm just not sure his spot is necessary at this point. Kelby provided a spark when he played last year. I cannot say the same for Adrianza, and given the choice would much rather have someone with power like Blanks on my bench than an all glove SS.Delete

WBC super bantamweight champion Víctor "Vikingo" Terrazas is ready and waiting for his upcoming fight against undefeated Leo Santa Cruz on August 24th in Carson, California.
"I'm working hard to defeat Santa Cruz. I've stressed that I want to defend my title for some time to come, so that's why I'm fully focused. I'm ceaselessly training, as the fight is getting closer every day. The preparation here in Guadalajara has been very intense. I jog for about 40 minutes in the woods and then I go to the gym for two and a half hours, guided by the supervision of my fitness trainer Omar Rivera," Terrazas said.
Víctor "Vikingo" Terrazas (37-2-1, 21 KO) vs. Santa Cruz (24-0-1, 14 KO) will take place on August 24th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. In the main event Abner Mares will defend his WBC featherweight title against former champion Jhonny Gonzalez.
"To fight in California is so special for me. I know that the fans are very supportive, especially because there are a lot of Mexicans living there. Attending an event where four Mexican fighters are competing, will will be great for them."

The Patriots completed a busy day Saturday by signing one of their biggest free-agent targets.
The Patriots completed a busy day Saturday by signing one of
their biggest free-agent targets.
It was reported Saturday night, first by ESPN's Adam Schefter,
that the Pats have reached contract agreement with wide receiver
Brandon Lloyd, who can provide the deep threat the New England
offense did not have last season.
He was the third player the team signed on Saturday. Early in
the day, the Pats announced they had reached agreement with another
receiver, Anthony Gonzalez, a former first-round choice of the
Colts whose career has been slowed by injuries. In midday, it was
reported that Trevor Scott, a defensive end/linebacker who had been
with the Raiders, also agreed to terms.
The evening news was the biggest. Lloyd is a top-flight talent,
a nine-year veteran who has done his best work under Josh
He had 77 receptions for 1,448 yards and 11 touchdowns for
Denver in 2010, when McDaniels was the Broncos' coach. He played
four games with the Broncos last season before being traded to St.
Louis and had 70 catches for 966 yards.
When free-agent season began, he all but openly campaigned to
join the Patriots, where McDaniels is now the offensive
"I bring a consistent pass-catcher. I think that's what every
offense needs, someone who can just catch the rock and move the
chains. I've done a great job at that over the last three seasons,"
Lloyd saidin a radio interview with ESPNBoston.com.
"From afar, you can see attention to detail, the dedication that
players are putting into that program, and you see the result on
Sundays," Lloyd said of New England. "You see it a lot, you see it
in the Super Bowl a lot. That formula is a very special formula,
and anybody who could be in serious talks of being a part of that
formula should be very excited. I don't care what position you are.
You'd be lying if you're not."
Lloyd, 30, made a visit to San Francisco a few days ago but was
in Foxboro over the weekend. His contract, according to numerous
reports, is three years for $12 million.
He gives the Patriots a better outside threat than the team had
last year, which figures to prevent defenses from concentrating too
much on Wes Welker or the two tight ends, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron
The other receiver signed Saturday, Gonzalez, is more of a slot
receiver like Welker. Gonzalez, 27, has played for the Indianapolis
Colts since they drafted him in the first round in 2007 out of Ohio
State. In five seasons, the 6-foot, 193-pound wide receiver started
12 of 40 games and has 99 career receptions for 1,307 yards and
seven touchdowns.
As a rookie, Gonzalez started nine games and averaged 15.6 yards
per reception on 37 catches and scored three touchdowns. In 2008,
he recorded career highs with 57 receptions for 664 yards and four
Scott, the team's newest pass rusher, also has seen his career
slowed by injuries. He was a sixth-round draft choice by the
Raiders in 2008, out of the University of Buffalo. He then became a
part-time starter for Oakland in 2009 and 2010.
His specialty is rushing the passer. He has 13.5 career sacks.
He suffered a serious knee injury in 2010 and was able to return
this past season.
According to ESPN's Schefter, he signed a one-year deal with the
Patriots. Two of New England's best pass rushers from last season,
Mark Anderson and Andre Carter, currently are free agents.

Social network for dentists and dental professionals to share news and ideas.
Finding the right pediatric dentist for your child may seem like an easy selection, but the proper dental home will set attitudes and expectations about oral health care throughout his or her lifetime. One bad experience can sully a child's perspective about going to the dentist and those feelings are hard to change. A positive, comfortable experience, on the other hand, can set the tone for the rest of his or her life. We all know people who fear going to the dentist, but we know they weren't born with that fear; where did it develop? Most likely, it was either during an uncomfortable dental experience or the vibes put out by their parents; kids pick up on apprehensive feelings, so if you as the parent display a disdain for dental care, your children just may follow your example. We reached out to a pediatric dentist in Oklahoma City (https://reflectionsdentalcare.com/) for some insight and this is what we have to share with you.
How do we break this chain of apprehension about the dentist? Start with an excellent dental home for your child, one where he or she feels comfortable and safe. This may take some interviewing and be checking out different pediatric dentists' offices, but in the long run, the time investment will be worth it.
The first question to ask a pediatric dentist is about his or her qualifications and experience. Pediatric dentistry is a specialized field, one that requires additional education. A qualified pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school. In addition to educational expertise, a pediatric dentist needs to know how to treat small children, toddlers, children and teens, including their dental growth and development. The doctor should also be familiar with common pediatric dental issues, like baby bottle tooth decay, improper teeth alignment, and other complications attributed to children. A skilled doctor should also be able to offer various solutions to many oral health issues, based on the child's individual case, temperament and needs. In addition, a good dentist should take the time to educate the child on brushing, flossing, and ongoing oral health care. The dentist should also discuss the benefits of a healthy diet and the effect of certain foods on a child's teeth while keeping the child entertained and engaged. Another important aspect of a good pediatrician is someone who can work with the smaller instruments used to clean and maintain a child's teeth. While any dentist might be able to perform a cleaning and check-up, a pediatric dentist utilizes the smaller tools on a regular basis, and that may make the appointment easier for all parties involved!
While a great deal of a pediatric dentist's job involves knowledge of teeth, gums, and overall oral health care, just as important is the personality and disposition of the doctor. When you meet with a potential pediatric dentist, there are certain attributes the doctor should possess. Finding a doctor who makes your child feel at ease is probably the biggest hurdle you'll face. Your child shouldn't feel apprehensive or scared; generally, a good doctor will spend ample time introducing your child to the staff, the dental equipment, and making sure your child is comfortable. A good pediatric dentist is immensely patient; oftentimes small children are not cooperative in the dentist's chair. Helping a scared child feel better takes a gentle nature; a must for any pediatric dentist. A bit of empathy goes a long way with a frightened child and a doctor who takes extra time will gain the child's trust. The ability to soothe is important but so is the ability to give the child direction when necessary. The knack to command respect while also remaining pleasant is a delicate balance; one a skilled doctor should possess. A pediatric dentist has to be a "kid person", plain and simple.
The doctor's office staff should be equally compassionate and understanding with their younger patients. If the doctor is kind and caring but the front office staff is abrasive, the child will quickly be turned off. The same is true with older pediatric patients; if the doctor and staff are condescending or too focused on the little kids, teens will not want to see the dentist. The doctor needs to be able to treat each child, from infant to toddler to teen, as an individual.
The office itself should be an inviting space. Some offices sport a theme—dinosaurs, sea creatures, the circus—something that grabs the child's attention when they arrive. Many doctors feature a toy box to entertain the little ones or offer a prize for a successful office visit. Older kids often enjoy video games and a selection of TV shows or movies while in the waiting room; making the office appealing to all ages is the key.
You will also want to know your doctor's policy on emergency treatments since most emergencies take place after regular business hours. If your child experiences a dental emergency, like a broken tooth, you will want to know how to reach the doctor and if he or she is available after hours. If your child has special needs, you will also want to ensure that your doctor has experience working with children who have mental or physical limitations. The pediatric dentist may provide some sort of sedation dentistry option for any child who may need some extra relaxation.
You know your child best. Finding a secure, pleasant dental home for your son or daughter is an important task, and you will know when your child bonds with a dentist. Make sure to ask probing questions on your child's behalf, and work with the dental professional to teach your child proper brushing and flossing techniques. As your child grows, he or she will come to understand that cleaning and check-up exams are nothing to be afraid of, and that having clean, sparkling teeth takes regular maintenance. Having open communication with the dentist you select will help both of you to best serve your child's needs. The collective goal should be to teach your child about oral health care at an early age and how to maintain healthy teeth and gums for life!

We also train managers and employees in all legal and ethical issues relevant to their day-to-day work environment.
Since 2012, Hasbro has been named a World's Most Ethical Company® by the Ethisphere Institute, an independent center of research promoting best practices in corporate ethics and governance.
Meeting Compliance
Hasbro's Chief Legal Officer oversees ethics and compliance policies and processes across the organization. This role is supported by Hasbro's compliance practice to help ensure we manage legal and regulatory risk across the global organization. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors also takes a proactive interest in compliance and ethics issues and interacts frequently with the compliance and ethics teams.
In 2014, we updated our compliance program, including our Code of Conduct, to address new areas of importance and to ensure ethics is delivered consistently across the global organization.
As we look to expand both operations and sales into emerging and developing markets, it is a significant challenge to ensure our standards are upheld and adhered to in these countries. Areas where this is a concern include toy safety, social compliance, and bribery and corruption.
Our CEO is committed to transparency and personally reviews questions about the company brought to him by employees via a "write to the top" inbox. We use this inbox to generate Q&A dialogue with the CEO, which we post to our employee intranet.

During a time when women were expected to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children rather than hoping for careers, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones) decides to become a lawyer, even though she's discriminated against wherever she turns. She graduates from Columbia Law School, wanting to fight for freedom and gender equality. However, she has trouble getting a job due to her gender, as men who are less qualified get positions instead. She teams up with her husband Marty (Armie Hammer) to bring a groundbreaking case before the U.S. Court of Appeals — one that could turn around years of discrimination and give young women a future full of hope.

Proposal became law without Governor approval
5 October 2017 / Halocarbons, United States
The state of Rhode Island has banned the sale of bedding and furniture treated with organohalogen flame retardants under a law that goes into effect 1 July 2019.
The proposal became law on 4 October without the approval of Governor Gina Raimondo (Democrat) who chose not to sign or veto it.
In August, the Maine legislature gave final approval to a measure banning the use of all chemical flame retardants in upholstered furniture, overriding the veto of Republican Governor Paul LePage. That law takes effect on 1 January 2019.
More than a dozen US states have banned some categories of flame retardants. Many more considered legislation this year to restrict their use.
Washington state's Toxic-Free Kids and Families Act, which restricts the use of five flame retardants in children's products and residential upholstered furniture, went into effect on 1 July.
On a national level, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted on 21 September to ban the use of organohalogen flame retardants in furniture and several other household product categories.
Julie A Miller – North American Desk Editor

Hi Beauts.
As we know summer is (hopefully) heading this way pretty soon, which means it's time to break out the bright and bold lipsticks. Which means those pout need to be looking pretty and perfect.
The tips I'm going to share are some that I've heard make up artists swear by, and some that I've found work through trial and error. Let's get into it shall we?
Tip 1:
If your going for a bold shade, such as red, or a matte lipstick make sure to exfoliate your lips and get rid of any dry dead skin. The Lush lip scrubs are perfect for this, or you can mix a little sugar with olive oil to make your own.
Tip 2:
For a fuller pout, use a lip liner that matches your chosen lipstick (or one that matches your lips) and line your Cupid's bow - the pointed part of your top lip, and the centre of your bottom lip. Don't forget to fill in the rest of your lips too, then apply your lipstick or lipgloss.
Tip 3:
If you want fuller looking lips but don't have a lip liner, apply your chosen lipstick or gloss then chose a shade of gloss that is lighter and has a little shimmer. Apply this only to the centre of your top and bottom lip, doing this gives a highlight effect and makes your lips appear bigger.
Tip 4:
If you have a fuller bottom lip and a thinner top lip, take a lip liner and draw a straight line along the highest points of your Cupid's bow, making sure to fill in the rest of your lips with the liner followed by your favourite lipstick/lipgloss.
Tip 5:
And finally, for a longer lasting lip colour start off my blotting your lips to remove any moisture. Next apply your lipstick and blot again. Apply another layer of lipstick, and finish off my applying a ting amount of loose translucent powder.
Do you have any favourite tips to keep your pout looking pretty?

reviews Songs from the Past Into the Future by Derek GiffordDerek's a folk circuit stalwart with some 35 years' singing experience, a highly-regarded solo performer as well as a member of shanty group Three Sheets To The Wind (with Keith Kendrick and Geoff Higginbottom). Giff was unquestionably a key figure in my own discovery of chorus songs and the joys of chorus singing indeed! His glorious, rousing setting of Keith Scowcroft's poem When All Men Sing is nothing short of iconic, and has become a true cornerstone of the folk repertoire. But let's not forget also Giff's enthusiastic espousal of all manner of folk songs, and his eager exposure of local songwriting talents, both of which aspects sit so very comfortably alongside his own not inconsiderable performance skills, and are well to the fore in this latest collection. As a singer, Giff's relaxed and confident style is perennially winning, while he can also boast a significant (if humble) degree of accomplishment as a guitarist.
This latest "giffering" (his sixth album) continues the approved tradition which he's made a speciality - combining the pick of contemporary folk songs with percipient and satisfying takes on traditional material. The latter category is here represented by a nicely turned Bold Fisherman (which sports a superb cello counterpoint from Gill Redmond) and a simple but effective a cappella account of Dives And Lazarus (which like many of us he learned from the singing of The Young Tradition). Pick of the remainder I would judge Songs They Used To Sing by Mike Bartram (a canny chorus-song-for-well-versed-chorus-singers), Richard Grainger's thought-provoking opus Land And Sea (which contains some lovely lyrical oboe playing from Paul Sartin), Les Sullivan's lively press-gang saga Five Pounds, and Pete Coe's atmospheric early composition Farewell To The Brine (eerily accompanied by bowed psaltery and shruti box). Other powerful contributions come from the pens of Alan Bell (The Cocklers' Song) and the late Rod Shearman (Do You Remember?), but each of Giff's chosen songs has much to offer and no individual track is "skippable". While for those who already know and appreciate Giff's companionable stage presence, the disc's quotient of straightforward folky humour comes in the shape of Miles Wootton's priceless (and still mightily relevant) parody Early One Evening (retold with relish aplenty!) and Brian Hooper's environmental commentary Coming In Further.
Giff's standing in the folk world is paid tribute by the ready recruitment of fine guest artists: singers including Tom & Barbara Brown and Anna Shannon and instrumentalists comprising those mentioned in dispatches above plus the estimable Keith Kendrick. All adding up to a well-coordinated, friendly and accessible (and sympathetically recorded) release that will give considerable pleasure.

Unable to play the trailer? Try one of these: MP4 640X360 WMV 320X180 WMV 640X360
Featuring: Staci Silverstone and Jimmy Legend
Date: September 26th, 2012
Duration: 24:01
Imagine waking up to this vision. Staci on your bed, in her underwear, ready to fuck. She's a dream come true. "I love cock," she told us. "I have some friends who don't understand how I can be so horny. I literally want sex all the time! It's a blessing and a curse. When I'm getting laid it's great, but then if I haven't had any cock in a while I'll get cranky. But luckily it's never too hard for me to find someone to fuck!" In this video it's obvious Staci means what she says. The perky-titted teen gladly takes on this cock, moaning and loving it all the way to the end. And the best thing about this cum shot? Staci does the last of the legwork, finishing the guy with her mouth and swallowing his whole load.

Planning a Road Trip Cross-Country
Why Read This Hub?
I recently completed a cross-country road trip from California to Georgia and along the way, there were instances that I just wasn't prepared for or didn't expect. However, these instances I speak of weren't anything out of the ordinary and seemed like things I should have thought of.
In this article, I will cover topics that should be considered prior to taking a long trip, but generally aren't thought of by most people. I hope this helps readers in their planning stages and makes them more prepared to handle these situations that drivers are more than likely to encounter. I'll try to keep is short and simple so you can get right into planning your trip!
Please understand that this hub will not address travel destinations or sights to see along your trip, as I am obviously clueless as to where your trip will take you.
The Not-So-Obvious Thing to Take With You
Some things are obvious items to take with you on a road trip; a car or other vehicle, yourself, maybe a friend or two. But there seems to be one thing that people seem to overlook.
For the longest time I was under the impression that driving was cheaper than flying. After all, it's not fun to fork out four or five hundred dollars for a plane ticket, especially for those of us who don't have that much money to readily throw around. But if you're planning a road trip that will take you across the country, be ready to spend twice that amount.
Writing about this may confuse some readers so let me clarify. I'm writing this from the perspective of someone who moved across the country. If you're taking a trip just for the sake of taking a trip, then this part may not apply to you. But depending on a few things such as, if you're driving an RV or if you'll be stopping in places where you have family or friends, you may have to fork out a lot of dough for overnight stays. That is of course you're one of those crazy people who can drive for thirty hours without stopping or sleeping.
Another commonly overlooked aspect of taking a trip is the terrain. Sure, your vehicle may be rated for fifty mpgs, but that's if you're driving on a level surface, with nothing else in the car, and you're not driving against the wind. Driving against the wind is like driving uphill and will kill your gas mileage. Additionally, if you're taking any luggage with you, your engine will have to work harder to compensate for the added weight.
Another important thing to mention is throttle control. A lot of people like to use cruise-control, but that can be the kiss of death for your gas. When cruise-control is activated, you're telling your car to maintain that speed until you tell it otherwise. Sure, it's convenient and everything, but that lack of throttle control will drain your fuel faster than you may think. Ever notice when using cruise-control while going uphill that you hear your engine rev up after it changes to a lower gear? It does that so it can maintain the speed you set it for, but in doing so, the engine has to burn more fuel because it's having to work harder.
So when going up hill or driving against the wind, take off cruise control and don't push your car too hard, and stay in the right lane if maintaining the posted speed limit is difficult. Last word on throttle control: don't rapidly change your vehicle's speed. In other words, don't stomp on the gas pedal when getting on a freeway and avoid rapid deceleration.
Road trips can get very pricey. I can't give an approximate amount since everyone reading this will be driving different cars, and driving different distances and routes. I would suggest, at a minimum, to have about thousand dollars to spend while on the road.
Vehicle Maintenance
My biggest fear while driving across the country was having my car breakdown in the middle of nowhere without cell service. Some of those freeways through Texas were long and devoid of civilization, and having my car suddenly take a dump in an area like that had me on edge. Though some of you may be more mechanically inclined than me, there are a number of things that can't be fixed on the side of the road with a straw from McDonald's and an empty beer can.
Before you set out for any trip, make sure you get your car serviced. That doesn't mean you need a complete overhaul, but make sure your oil has been changed recently, your spark plugs are firing off efficiently, check your air filter and replace it if need be, and a fuel system flush will do wonders if you've never had it done.
Additionally, make sure your tires are in good shape. Most people carry a spare in their vehicle, and that can give a false sense of confidence. Changing a tire on the side of a highway isn't fun in any sense. And more than likely, you only have one spare. What if two tires blow out? Though there is no way to ensure you won't have to change more than one tire, having healthy tires and good air pressure will significantly mitigate the chance of you having to play handy-man during your trip.
For simplicity's sake, I will be using the terms 'hotel' and 'motel' interchangeably.
If you're expecting to stay overnight at a hotel for any part of your trip, be sure to make a reservation. If you are taking pets with you, make sure the hotel allows pets. Most of the time, hotels will require a deposit for having a pet, but you'll get that back when you check out if your pet hasn't caused any damage to the room. I drove around El Paso, Texas for about an hour trying to find a hotel that not only had vacancy, but also allowed pets.
Some hotels charge outrageous prices just to have you sleep for the night, so make sure you shop around for any deals to ensure you don't overpay.
General Driving Safety Tips and Closing
To close out this article, I will provide general safety tips for long road trips.
- Sleep. Being well rested will keep you alert and will help fight fatigue while driving.
- Drink plenty of water. Water will also keep your alertness level up and help you focus better.
- Don't drive for too long. Rest stops are amazing things. They enable you to get out of your car so you can stretch and relax for a while. Some places even offer free beverages. Driving for long periods of time will sap you of energy, causing you to lose focus and hinder your reaction ability. Six to seven hundred miles is plenty of distance to cover in one day, any more than that and you're just being stupid. Ever been driving and felt as if you weren't moving? That's called highway hypnosis and a sign that you should have stopped for the night an hour ago.
- Eat. Food is your body's fuel. Though it may not seem like you're doing much besides sitting there with your foot on the gas pedal, your mind is in, or should be in, a constant state of focus. Your brain uses up at least twenty percent of your body's energy and healthy foods will provide the energy you'll need to maintain focus. Stay away from junk foods, they won't provide you with the proper amount of energy you'll need for a long trip. Trail mixes, jerky, and granola bars are packed with energy and flavor.
- Plan your stops. Before embarking on your trip, calculate how far you will drive per day and make reservations at hotels or where ever you plan on staying for the night.
- If you're driving with a friend, take turns driving; if you're on a schedule you may be able to cover more distance per day
- Check the weather forecast. Though the weather folks are usually wrong, at least get an idea for the type of weather you are likely to encounter and plan appropriately.
- Before you set out on your trip, make sure you tell someone where you're going and how long you're expecting your trip to take, and if or when you plan on being back. Be sure to keep them updated on the progress of your trip.
I hope this article helps, and if you have any ideas on how to make it better for everyone, leave a comment and I'll add it here. Have safe trip!
I believe my plan from prrgoessive runs in 6 month increments.Just get a plan where you pay monthly, and cancel it when you will no longer use it.BTW a lot of people do it but in most states you can get in a LOT of legal trouble if you are caught even lose your license. Even if you aren't required by the state to have insurance, if you do get in an accident the other person could sue you for damages. So your parents are doing you a favor!

Starbucks Via Iced Coffe
So I have seen the commercials and seen it in the stores but never dared to try it until now. I am talking about Via, the instant coffee brand from Starbucks. Yesterday I was in Target (of course!!) and I saw the Via Iced Coffee on sale so I thought hey why not let me try it. I was so excited when I got home that I had to try it that night. Conclusion is: 2 thumbs up...I got the caramel flavor, they had regular and mocha I think as well and it is delish. All you have to do is add the packet to 16oz of water, stir, add milk if desired, add ice and enjoy :) This will be perfect for in the mornings when I really want coffee but don't want to make a pot.
I think each box has 6 packets in it!!
Just look at the deliciousness :)

A friend emailed the other day. For the second time in a couple weeks, her mother burned dinner on the stove. Did I think she should ban cooking, unless supervised. I couldn't type a reply. I was laughing too hard (and crying), thinking about my own mother's cooking adventures.
Many years ago, while both parents were still capable of independent senior living, I received a phone call from a frantic apartment superintendent. Mom and Dad's smoke alarm was blaring (not an uncommon sound coming from my parent's place) and when the super ran to check, she found my mother standing beneath the alarm waving a dishtowel, while blackened peppers billowed from on top of the electric stove burner, no friendly pan in sight. She asked my mother what she was doing. "Roasting peppers. The burner works good, except for the damn smoke."
When the super told me what was going on, I felt sure she must have misunderstood. I'd never seen my mom do anything like this and if the super was correct, Mom had reached another turning point.
A call to my Aunt Gila put me (slightly) at ease. "Usually, I roast peppers on the grill, but your grandmother occasionally did them on a gas stove burner. I've never tried them on an electric stove. How'd they come out?" I made my mother swear never to do it again.
In Mom's last few months of independent living, she burned three pots black on top of the stove. She'd forgotten they were there. The third pot was brand new. I had just bought it to replace the last pot. It blackened while we sat at the kitchen table drinking coffee (says a lot about me).
When Mom moved into an assisted living situation we thought our cooking concerns were over. No stoves in any apartment. Just a small microwave and mini-refrigerator. Management finally unplugged her microwave and took it away "for repairs" after it caught fire a third time, requiring the fire department.
She'd been baking a potato and yes, "of course, I made several cuts into it" and then wrapped it tightly in clear wrap before microwaving it for 3 minutes or maybe it was 30. "You know," she said. "The numbers on that thing are hard to read. I hope they bring me back a new one with bigger numbers."
When to stop cooking is as difficult a decision as when to stop driving. Both are ways we feel a sense of self, of who we are in relationship to the world around us. Both give us a feeling of independence and strength. I had no perfect answer for my friend. Each story is unique and similar at the same time.
With my mother, we crossed our fingers and said a prayer. When it is my turn, I hope I'll be understanding and stop on my own, so my children will not have to worry. Ha! It is so hard to type when you are laughing out loud!

Housekeeping-y stuff
However: I have recently had a lot of spam-style comments show up here, and I'm getting sick of it. Therefore, I'm going the ol' comment moderation route as of now. If you're nice enough to comment, I get to read it first, and will automatically pass it on to be posted.
Well, almost automatically. Spammers and random commenters will be banished into the obscurity they so richly deserve. I don't so much mind seeing their tripe in my email inbox, as it just takes hitting the Fuggedaboutit Button to make them go the hell away. Blogger, alas, makes the deletion process annoyingly tedious.
When they (the insidious Blogger/Google/Whoever Else Combine) get their acts together and make it possible to keep the idiots at bay without jumping through a bunch of damn cyber-hoops, I'll go back to free-range comments, which I prefer.

Hi. My name Rageshibob Nosensatal and due to inconvenience in my country in Afrika I am asking your help, as you were referred to me as a good Christian of utmost character and pregumption.
I am in the need to transfer 10 millions in US dollars to your country from the dormant account of my country's national bank. It was my father's, the late Sullen of High Negation. He was assassinated by Kung Fu pirates in an untimely and unseemly coo de tah.
For your remittance and pleasure I only ask that you reply with details needed for the transfer.
I will remit to you of the sum 3 millions of US dollars for your goodwill and aspertame in assisting me to resolve this matter.
You credentials and curmudgiosity were rated among the highest by a mutual friend who has since been chased into hiding.
Thank you in advance for your Christianity and malfeasance in saving my father's legacy which will enable me to seek asylum and sanitarium among the customs to which I have become atuned.
I bow my head to you and sing of your good will to my sheep and goats.
Ever at your service and insinuation,
Ro Nosensatal
ps: this is completely above the table boards. I am not of the spam

A focus group is a form of qualitative research in which participants are asked about their perceptions, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes towards a product, service, concept, advertisement, idea, or packaging. Participants are recruited via telephone, often from a client-provided customer list. Percy & Company works with the client to develop an outline of key strategic questions. A moderator then presents this outline in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members. Our system allows clients to view their focus groups in real time via closed-circuit television from a remote location, or via a 2-way mirror from an adjoining room.
Percy & Company has recruited and moderated more focus groups than any other full-service market research firm in the Gulf South. We specialize in the ability to conduct groups in small to mid-size markets where no formal focus group facilities exist. We take pride in our expertise in recruiting participants who meet our client's unique demographic specifications, as well as assembling specialty groups comprised of hard-to-reach professionals such as physicians, attorneys and small business owners.

It's the first day of summer break...well, the first day of summer break where my husband is not home to share the children with me. Last night I set some pretty clear expectations on my children for this summer. I set their alarm clocks for 8 am, and told them they were not allowed out of their rooms before that alarm goes off, and when they do decide to come out, they had to be dressed and their beds made up. You see, my children have a habit of getting up on the weekends and holidays at 6 am and then they sit on the couch in their skivvies. I'm just not too excited about that being a habit all summer long. I need some quiet time before the hurricane of Debney children take over the rest of the day.
And amazingly, this morning, 2/3 of my kids followed directions, even the dogs followed directions and were decently quiet until right at 8. Those moments of peace gave me time to make a cup of coffee and sit down with my Lord to discuss today's agenda. So I opened today's daily devotion, and what do I see, but a devotion about a woman who has a hard time being comfy in the peace the Lord provides for us. (Here's the link to the devotion, if you are interested). I found it so awesome that God was providing moments of peace before a busy day and reminding me through the devotion and His Word that my time with him shouldn't be to discuss my expectations of the day's agenda, but to really just sit still and let God speak. You know, "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10a. I laughed as I wrote in my prayer journal. Instead of me reading that devotion while my children were running around getting dressed or when the day is in the midst of being busy, He gave me a few moments of peace while He was reminding me to just be quiet in those moments and let Him do all the talking. And for that reminder, I am grateful.
I love how God sends these little moments of reminders, these little moments to say, "Hey! Just calm down, sit down, and let Me show you something special; let me tell you something awesome." May you also have a few moments of peace today where God opens your heart to His truth, and shares with you words that are meant to comfort and love.

LAS VEGAS (WPVI) --A Philadelphia Eagles fan from Utah has incredibly lived to tell the tale after he was struck by lightning on the golf course.
Justin Hofer shared his harrowing brush with death from a Las Vegas hospital room.
"Every day just hug your kids and your wife because you just never ever know," Hofer said.
He says a sunny day on the golf course quickly turned to snow.
His golf buddy (and fellow Eagles fan), Brett Denmah, says he heard the loudest, screeching roar, and a sound like no other.
That's when Brett realized his friend had been struck by lightning on the green.
"And I recognized that his body was on fire, and there was a flame about the size of your hand on your right hip, and our immediate reaction was we got to get that flame out," Brett said.
Brett and another friend smothered the flames with their jackets.
Other bystanders helped, CPR was performed, and Justin was rushed to the hospital.
He suffered both external and internal burns, and his recovery will be a long one.
If you're wondering about their allegiance to the Eagles, seeing as they're from Utah - they say they like the Birds' fighting spirit.
Clearly, Justin is a fighter as well.
