It's fine you guys. I am fine. Henry is 5 months old and I am just getting around to posting his newborn photos. OY!
Henry is the most precious and delicious little human. He is so easy going and just let's his older brother smother him to death.
I just can't believe he was ever this little. He is over the 97(percentile) for weight and height.
He legit looks like a 10 month old. Updated pics coming soon aka like in the next couple months or something. HAHA
Since it's been a second, I should probably let you know, I am in the middle of my Yoga teacher training!
It's 6 weekends all day long and has a lot of "homework" but will be so worth what I want to do and bring to this little blog of mine.
Update on that coming soon as well. BUT, until those updates come, just enjoy these pictures of newborn little Henry. #fleetingmoments


text: Steve Gash - July 30, 2015 Syren Tempio & XLR5 Sporting Reviews It's no secret women are the most rapid growing segment of the shooting sports, and a recent survey by the NSSF revealed some interesting statistics. About 95 percent of the respondents had tried target shooting, and 58 percent hunted.Their most commonly owned firearm is a handgun, but shotguns were second. And the retailers responding reported an increase in female customers in 2013. It is significant that the ladies said they were not influenced by "fads" but "fit, quality, and practicality."Over the years, many manufacturers have introduced firearms for women. Some of these efforts have been marginally successful, but most were dismal. "Pink it and shrink it" was their motto. This is pretty disingenuous when you think about it.One outfit that did it right is a new division of Caesar Guerini and Fabarm called Syren. I assume that the name is a play on the Latin word "siren," which is loosely defined as an "enchantress" or a "beguiling woman." Semantics aside, the new brand has made quite a splash in shotgun circles with a diverse line of sporting and field models. The philosophy at Syren, said Syren president Anne Mauro, is designing the ultimate guns for female shooters. "Everyone at Syren, from our female management team to the pro-staff lady shooters, is committed to the best products possible so there will be no more compromises when it comes to our lady shooters and their needs," she said. There are seven basic models: two semi-autos and five over/unders with variations for sporting and hunting. I tested the high-tech XLR5 semi-auto sporting model, and the sumptuous Tempio, a double-barreled field gun.Smooth OperatorThe XLR5 is a soft-shooting gas-operated semi-auto available with either a 28- or 30-inch barrel. The test gun had the 30-inch barrel, and it seemed to have just the right heft and wasn't muzzle heavy. But there are three 1½-ounce weights that can be screwed onto the forend for more weight forward, if desired. The XLR5's butt stock is specifically tailored for women. The overall length of pull is listed at 13¾ inches but it was exactly 14 inches on this gun. The stock has a modest raised but straight comb that positions the cheek in line with the vent rib, and directs recoil straight back, rather than coming up and smacking the shooter in the cheek.The distance from the trigger to the grip is shortened somewhat. Syren says most women have smaller hands and longer necks, so this change makes it easier to get the correct hand position for the trigger. Finally, the "pocket" is the area where the shoulder and chest meet, and the angle of the comb and stock have been subtly tweaked to better fit women.Mechanics and operation of the gas action are flawless. Controls are in the familiar places, save for the bolt release, which is on the left side of the receiver. An extra large, knurled "cocking handle" facilitates bolt retraction. A neat feature called the "Tribore" system basically makes the entire barrel one long forcing cone. First, the forcing cone itself is lengthened; then a conical section about eight inches long slowly reduces the 12-gauge bore diameter from about .736 at the rear to about .724 forward toward the muzzle.This is an application of the Venturi principle, i.e., reducing the diameter of a tube increases the velocity of a fluid (the shot) flowing through it. Fabarm says that this design produces better ballistics than an overbored barrel. A set of five "EXIS HP" choke tubes provides a constriction for just about any shooting scenario.Trigger pull averaged 4 pounds, 13.9 ounces, with a variation of only 1.5 ounces, and was one of the smoothest I've ever experienced on a shotgun. Syren says the auto is tuned to function with all target loads, including the light-kicking 7/8-ounce ammo. Functioning was 100 percent with 7/8-, 1-, and 1 1/8-ounce shells, both factory and handloads. Recoil was a pleasant push, rather than an impolite jab.It's also available in a Realtree Max-5 Waterfowl model (3-inch chamber) for duck enthusiasts.XLR5 Sporting SpecificationsModel: Syren XLR5 SportingAction: Gas operated semi-automaticGauge: 12Trigger pull: 3 pounds, 13.9 ouncesBarrel length: 28 or 30 inches, TRIBORE HP, ventilated ribChamber: 2¾ inchesOverall length: 50 inchesWeight: 7 pounds, 12.5 ouncesSafety: Manual, push button behind triggerMSRP: $1,995Double Time The Tempio is made by Caesar Guerini, a firm that needs no introduction to experienced shooters, and carries the CG lifetime warranty. Available in 20- or 28-gauge, both have 28-inch barrels and come with a set of five nickel-plated, flush-fitting chokes. It has a single selective trigger, automatic ejectors, and a tang-mounted manual safety.It's a high-dollar gun with all the amenities: The wood is Turkish walnut that sports well-executed 26 lpi checkering, and an elegant hand-rubbed oil finish. And the receiver has some unbelievable detail with inlaid gold roses on each side. "The forend is nicely proportioned to fill the hand without feeling clubby, and the latch is a convenient Anson rod, with a silver push button at the forend tip.Trigger pulls were likewise superb on the Tempio: 4 pounds, 13.9 ounces for the lower barrel; 4 pounds, 5.7 ounces on the upper. The barrel finish is a deep, dark blue, as elegant as the rest of the gun. The ventilated rib has a silver bead front sight, and the side ribs are not ventilated. Both Syren guns come in a fitted hard case.Overall, these guns represent significant achievements for a growing segment of shooters, and it is refreshing to see guns that are especially designed and uniquely functional for women. Ladies who are interested in hunting and/or sporting clays should give these a look.

Article: Fit Gap Analysis – The Role of Business Process Reference Models
In this article, the authors describe that enterprise resource planning system is used by the companies to achieve different goals like staying competitive, make improvement, finding solutions for business processes, and changing standard business strategies so that business operations can be performed effectively. ERP system uses different business practices which can be elaborated by the reference models. The role of these reference models is to formalize and then recommend those practices which are accepted by certain business domains. ERP system provides so many advantages like their solutions for different processes include sales, finance, procurement etc. all these processes can be well understood and practiced with the help of reference business models. One important thing to consider while implementing any ERP system is that organizations needs are well integrated with the ERP model. During this process, a fit and gaps analysis is developed, which is very essential. This model helps to identify that which things fit well into organization ERP system and what are the gas to be filled.
In this article, the authors have examined various aspects of business reference models like what methods can be used & applied in an ERP system, and what fit-gap analysis is obtained from the exercise. In this article, ERP system, its reference models are described in detail to understand the concepts. Once all reference models are explained in details, then it had been reviewed that what methods are possible to use these reference models in ERP system. During selection of appropriate models, first step is the construction, where reference model methods are developed, and then second step is application of those constructed reference model methods. Once all these steps are completed, then here comes the process of fit-gap analysis. In this step, the theory of task technology fit is used to understand the concepts involved between technology and processes. After calculating a fit gap analysis, now the time comes to review that which capabilities ERP system has, and what are the actual business needs. In last part of the article, the authors have described the process comparison approach. Company's supply chain process is also included in the model. The authors have included that this paper contributes in two ways, first in fit gap analysis presentation with business processes, and second is comparison approach between reference model of ERP system and supply chain.

Hi TomV4, Thanks for your comment. This idea is to make a bait station like the one pictured. Saves money by making one out of a recycled container .
I was trying to be funny in a subtle way.
But I get what you're doing there. I am all for repurposed stuff.
Thanks TomV4
At first glance, I thought the photo was suggesting catching a rodent in a take-out food container ... which seemed redundant.

Some of the biggest accountancy practices and consultancy firms in the country could be excluded from winning lucrative NAMA contracts because of their previous associations with developers.
The National Asset Management Agency (Nama) is assembling a team of advisers to forensically examine the business plans of the country's top 100 developers.But yesterday the organisation indicated that a conflict may arise if an expert firm has an association with one of the borrowers.
Applicants for the contracts will have to disclose their previous associations and also prove that no conflicts exist.
"Any conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest must be fully disclosed in writing to NAMA as soon as such conflict or potential conflict becomes apparent," said the organisation.
"In the event of a conflict or potential conflict of interest, Nama shall, in its absolute discretion, decide on the appropriate course of action, which may involve the exclusion of the relevant candidate from this process."
With some 100 developers to be evaluated, the scale of the examination is significant and a large panel of advisers is likely to be recruited.
Experience in advising on property-related businesses will be key to selecting the candidates, according to Nama.
The advisers will be asked to perform a financial analysis of a borrower's business plans, including an objective assessment of the key assumptions. The advisers will later provide Nama with a report on the business plan and a recommendation on what should happen to the developer concerned.
NAMA is proposing to award contracts for two years until December 31, 2011. "The contract for services will be limited and preference will be given to firms which have investment banking and accountancy skills as their core skill set," said NAMA.
Major firms
Some major firms have asked Nama if working with banks could exclude them from the process. The toxic loan agency said these firms would have to prove that no conflicts exist.
"Firms that are/were retained by financial institutions that have the ability to provide the required services to NAMA are eligible once it can be proved that no conflicts exist between the service provider and the borrowers whose plans are being evaluated," said NAMA.

Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer and OSU's associate vice president and athletic director Gene Smith fired back Friday at in-conference criticism of the Buckeyes' recruiting tactics.
Meyer put the finishing touches his first OSU recruiting class Wednesday — a class rated No. 4 in the nation by Rivals.com. Several of the recruits that signed to play for Meyer had previously committed to other Big Ten teams, prompting criticism from Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema and Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi.
Both Meyer and Smith defended the recruiting practices employed while assembling the Buckeyes' newest class.
During a National Signing Day press conference Wednesday, Bielema said that he thought Meyer's staff had used illegal tactics to obtain recruits. Narduzzi spoke Monday of an unwritten agreement amongst Big Ten coaches, saying former OSU coach Jim Tressel and MSU coach Mark Dantonio would never call or talk to each other's commitments.
"People coach Dantonio knows well don't come in and take players away," Narduzzi said according to the Canton Repository. "When you do, you lose friendships over that."
In a Friday release, Smith condemned the use of the media to voice his concerns related to Big Ten football, though he did not specifically mention Bielema or Narduzzi.
"I am disappointed that negative references have been made about our football coaches, and particularly head coach Urban Meyer regarding recruiting," Smith said in the release. "In our league appropriate protocol, if you have concerns, is to share those concerns with your Athletic Director (AD). Then your AD will make the determination on the appropriate communication from that point forward. The ADs in our league are professionals and communicate with each other extremely well. Urban Meyer and his staff have had a compliance conscience since they have arrived."
The OSU athletic department also released a statement on Meyer's behalf in which the Buckeyes' $4 million-dollar-per-year coach said that his staff was in compliance with recruiting rules.
"I was pleased to take part in a productive, regularly scheduled meeting of the Big Ten Conference coaches today in Chicago. We had an opportunity to discuss a number of issues with each other and conference staff, including those that have arisen this week," Meyer said in the release. "It should be noted that my coaching staff is in full compliance with our recruiting efforts, and no one on this staff did anything illegal or unethical. We will continue to comply with NCAA rules and recruit with relentless effort, especially the great state of Ohio."
Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman declined to comment to The Lantern regarding the Friday coaches meeting.
Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, who chaired the Big Ten coaches meeting, told ESPN.com Friday that the meeting was "nothing but great dialogue."
"We understand what's acceptable and what's not acceptable in recruiting," Fitzgerald told ESPN.com. "We also talked about regardless of what's been reported, we agreed there's been no basis for accusing any coaches of illegal or unethical recruiting. There's been no gentleman's agreement inhibiting recruitment of verbally committed players, but we're going to do all of our recruiting based on respect for each other."
Meyer and the Buckeyes will pay visits to both MSU and Wisconsin during the 2012 season, on Sept. 29 in East Lansing, Mich., and Nov. 17 in Madison, Wis., respectively.

Emergency Departments (EDs) are often sites of impactful occupational violence; impactful on processes, care delivery and staff and patient wellbeing. Evidence suggests that often acutely disturbed patients can be well-managed using pharmacological means [1], but medical interventions can be delayed by patient load and acuity. This presentation will outline the processes one metropolitan tertiary ED used to upskill experienced nurses such that they are able to intervene pharmacologically (as well as behaviourally) in instances of significantly unstable patient behaviour. The capacity of nurses to effectively (autonomously) designate and administer Diazepam and Droperidol in the ED is unusual and under current evaluation – but the lessons learned from gaining such approvals can inform practice change in other EDs. Steps include:
- Identified need – Increased aggression and acutely behavioural disturbed patients. Indication to provide an effective and timely approach to violence and aggression within the ED.
- Support of a Toxicology Consultant for standing orders including Diazepam and Droperidol
- Discussion at departmental medication safety meeting including multidisciplinary inputs from ED Pharmacy, CNC team, medical staff and ED Director.
- Development of a proposed standing order and procedure.
- Approval from the hospital Drugs and Therapeutic Committee.
- Identification of appropriate nursing staff
- Development of competency and safety training and education for dissemination to and engagement by authorised staff.
- Standing order reviewed yearly.
- Ongoing audit and careful research evaluation as part of the trial
These will be discussed and barriers and enablers highlighted, with a view to enhancing capacity and autonomy for senior ED nurses.

Obviously the big news of the week for us was Matt having his 2nd major surgery of the year – this time on his left knee. Luke was in full swing with basketball and had his first doubleheader of the year. Abby got to go to the Colts home stadium to do volunteer work and the girl drama seemed to finally settle down at the junior high school. The weather was all over the place this week and sadly, the Simpson's world lost another character this past week. Marcia Wallace who does the voice of Edna Krabappel (Bart's frisky school teacher) passed away. Matt Groening and the writers on the show have decided to retire the character rather than to have her voiced by someone else.
On Monday, I had my labs drawn in preparation for my first physical in a couple years. Matt drove over to Columbus for an appointment with his surgeon to ensure his knee was ready for surgery and thankfully his swelling was down and he had gotten back enough range of motion. He came back and went to wrestling practice. Luke had basketball practice followed by a parents' meeting. We have joined a new league and nearly doubled the size of our team. I'm not sure what that means as far as playing time goes for Luke, but he may be the tallest kid on the team so maybe he will at least have a role to play on the team. Abby and Ann went to jazz practice and picked out uniforms, which was apparently loads of fun! We have a ton of new social media pictures to share this week; including Ann and Angie with the girls at Angie's 40th party last weekend; Ryan & Carly in their neat engagement pix; Kimmy and the boys trick or treating; the big Jupiter balloon in 1859 – maybe the biggest thing to ever happen in Lafayette; Bryan and his band Skeeter McGee; Chris & Trish's youngest and new puppy; Abby with 80s rocker hair; a lovely morning in Greensburg a couple days ago; Bu and her friends; cover of the new Beatles album, which is coming out soon; the new Hot Wheels SEMA toy show car; Nat & Mike's son, Brayton, and his Mt Vernon team made it to the sectional finals this Friday but lost; Matt and Abby at the doctors this past Friday; Matt's "zipper" that Luke wants him to undo (!); Mackey Arena where the Boilers barely won their opening game vs. Northern KY – this was Aunt Judy's view as she had a chance to attend the game this Friday; the one and only Marcia Wallace and her alter ego, Edna Krabappel; and finally one of my all-time faves- Tony D.
Tuesday was Matt's big day. After running Abby in early for Student Council and then Lukey to elementary, we headed over to Columbus with Matt for his arthroscopic knee surgery with Dr. Guse. Memaw & Gigi joined us for the venture. Matt was a cool customer the whole time and the girls took very good care of him as they always do… We had to move about halfway through the procedure because the waiting room had been taken over by folks you only see at the county fair, the demolition derby or on that great website – The People of Wal-Mart!! After our move, Gigi and I enjoyed watching Red 2 with Bruce Willis and an all-star cast. Dr. Guse met with Ann & I and said that Matt's MCL had already begun repairing itself, so he only tightened it up. However, his ACL was completely shredded and needed a graft. I believe it came from his patella maybe…anyhow, it is only the framework – his body will actually regenerate and grow a new ACL – how cool is that? He also made a few repairs to his meniscus, but it wasn't as bad as the MRI originally led him to believe. He said it felt just short of the perfect surgery, so we felt very good overall. Now that the easy part is over, it's time again for the hard part…the part that Matt knows all too well – rehab. He will have a day or so to rest and then he will start physical therapy. There is a book he has to follow. When he completes the book – he can have full contact again. Meanwhile Abby went with her fellow Student Council members up to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy to pack food bags for the food banks to distribute to the needy this holiday season. We are very proud of her efforts and believe the charity work is an important part of building good moral fortitude.
Ann stayed home with Matt to aid in his recovery on Wednesday. After I dropped the kids off at school and headed to work, it started to rain. It would continue raining the entire day and well into the night. Of course that's not saying much these days. Now that we've changed our clocks again, it is dark regularly by 6 pm. Ann was working when I got home so after I got off the treadmill we got Koch's. It has been our favorite carry-out place – a little greasy spoon. However, it appears they've gone through a change in ownership. It looks completely different inside. The food was a little different as well. I'm not sure we'll be going back as often as before. And sadly; one of my childhood football heroes, Tony Dorsett, announced today that he had CTE (a degenerative condition that scientists have linked to depression and dementia), which has no known cure.
Matt had a doctor appointment on Thursday, followed by a physical therapy session. He was pretty sore afterwards. We had a baby shower for my old work friend, Stephanie. She is expecting a little girl who will be named Jillian Claire. Best wishes on the delivery, Stephie! Luke was supposed to have basketball practice, but it was cancelled due to the 4th grade Family Fun Night at the elementary school. He sang Veterans Day songs and then we had a snack. Abby got her caramel apple all over my sweatshirt – thanks a lot, Bu! Next we headed down to Mr. Scudder's classroom where Luke and others were putting on a Wax Museum presentation where the kids had to give presentations of old scientists. Luke was a famous botanist, Carolus Linnaeus. He was awfully cute, but looked more like Mozart! 😉 We checked out a couple of the other kids like his buddies Grayson, Alex and others. We found more bebouts in the classroom! OMG!! We got home and the girls headed to tap practice where they picked out uniforms for their routine to the Pat Benatar classic, "Heartbreaker."
Only Luke & I were up early on Friday. Ann and the older kids came over to Columbus a little later in the morning. Abby had a follow-up doctor appointment for her stomach and head as well as received her flu shot and a breathing test. Matt also got his flu shot and had a follow-up visit to get his dressing changed. He's got one hell of an incision and will have a great scar and story to tell my grandkids! We grabbed lunch at Johnny Carino's. Abby went to a play at the junior high and then on to the twins' house for a slumber party. Ann went scrapbooking all night at Mrs. B's with Shawna. Luke & I made a run for the border for Matt…so the boys chilled all night, catching up on our DVR'ed shows.
We slept in on Saturday. We discovered we had been TP'ed overnight. Abby returned about mid-morning with only a handful of hours of rest. We did our weekly chores around the house and tended to Matt. He is propped up on the couch and is getting up and down pretty good. He is starting to regain some range of motion and is pushing himself and is committed to returning to action as soon as possible. Luke & Bu got the neighborhood cleaned up from the TP. Luke & Abby also helped me to mow at home and at Mom & Sandy's house, do all the dishes, get the oil changed in the van, shop at Wal-Mart and get take out from Wendy's (thanks kiddos!). Luke had basketball practice at the junior high and Ann went with Amy up to Indy for some Christmas hobby / nick-nack show. And of course, the Boilers lost again.
Sunday was Luke's big day. We slept in and then watched the new American Masters (PBS) from this week, which was on Jimi Hendrix, entitled "Hear My Train a-Comin." It was a nice, relaxing morning with bright sunshine. The temps got up in to the 50s and Luke & I played football out in the front yard. It was Luke's first "game day" in a few weeks – and it was a doubleheader. Thankfully we were at home for our opener. Grandma & Gigi came to watch him play for maybe the first time (?). Thanks to Gigi for getting some really good pictures for us! First up, we played Morristown. We came out on fire and never looked back, scoring the first 10 points of the game and beating them by nearly 30, 43-14! Luke was 0-2 from the field with a wild one from way behind the arch and a short one, under the basket. He did have an assist to go along with 5 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot while knocking out 2 players…unfortunately only one of them was their player! He had good hustle but obviously looked a little rusty. We had a break and then faced a very good Jac-Cen-Del team. Luke did not play much, never got in to the swing of the game and did not have any stats. It was a pretty close game until the final minutes where we began to build our lead and won 23-11. So the boys open the season with a 2-0 record! We came back home and watched the Colts lose, Peyton's Ponies win and the Cowboys take on the Saints in a game that ultimately saw Dallas get their butts kicked after they lost a couple key defensive players and the defensive coordinator they fired last year held them to only one TD. Meanwhile, NASCAR was in Phoenix for the penultimate race of the year. Unfortunately, Gordon finished outside the top 10 again and is now out of the race for the chase. I did some maintenance on the blog site late in to the night and am in the middle of upgrading some things. So if I screw it up, this may be the last entry for awhile! :0)
Next up is our video section, which includes two home videos and several from around the internet.
As for our Shit that Luke Says segment, we have this: The day after Matt had knee surgery, he had to start with basic stretches and flexes of muscles. When Matt got up to do his exercises, Ann asked Luke to get off the Xbox and let Matt use that area of the playroom. When Luke asked what Matt was doing, he replied as he hobbled on his crutches, "Getting on the treadmill." Luke asked in an exasperating, mystified, believing voice, "Reeeeally??"
Finally, our favorite part of the blog – the Waybac segment… Leading off, we have Grandmaw & Grandpaw Brown with Aunt Norma & Uncle Ralph back in the mid-40s…approximately 1945; then Grandpaw with colleagues at what I believe is Purdue for a "intoxicology" training in the '50s; next we have something very rare – the actual police blotter of my Great-grandpa's death – when Great-grandma called in the middle of the night in October of 1953; then we have a few more newspaper clippings of Grandpaw – all from 1955; then we have some beach time with Grandmaw & Grandpaw, Aunt Marilou, Mom and the Atha's in July of '56; then Great-grandma Brown w/ Aunt Marilou & Uncle Kenny in August of '56; the Mom and her family with Aunt Midge and her family at the summer cottage in August of '58; then an old one of yours truly in '69; Dad O in Haiti in '75; Robby in our Kenwood St home in LaPorte at Christmas in 1980; Grandmaw, Lou and friends in Florida in September of '82; my 7th grade picture in the fall of '82; Rob on Santa's lap on Christmas Eve in our Rockwood St. home in LaPorte in 1982; another lovely school picture – this time in the fall of '86 when I was 17 years old – what a great summer that was leading up to this picture…then our Christmas tree in LP in '87; Matt & Rob playing the "new" PlayStation on Christmas Day in approximately 2002; Matt & Abby on Christmas Day of 2003; Mom B with newborn Lukey Duke in 2003; Ann on Christmas day in 2006; and finally Mom again – this time with Ms. Sharon in Downtown Disney in August of 2007.
And that does it for this week's edition of the Scheu Family Blog. Thanks as always for keeping up with us this time out and we'll catch up with you again next time. Until then, have a good one. We miss ya Mom…
Later, Scheu

Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli has issued an opinion that it is OK to pack heat in the pews or choir as long as the owner has a good reason, namely "personal protection."
Cuccinelli, who issued his opinion at the request of Del. Mark Cole, a Spotsylvania Republican, has backed up the "good and sufficient reason" part of a state law that otherwise bans guns and knives from churches. The attorney general, however, says that the churches can still ban weapons if they wish.
The opinion follows series of laws and decisions that widely expand the rights of Virginians to pack heat. If one has a concealed weapons permit, it is OK to take your Glock or Colt automatic pistol into a bar, as long as you don't drink alcohol. Ditto state parks if you don't imbibe.
Churches, however, seem a bit of a stretch, even for gun-crazed Virginians. For most of the world, houses of worship are thought to be centers of forgiveness and peace. With Cuccinelli's parsing of words, a churchgoer might have enemies in the congregation who might want to take him out before or after the sermon. I won't even go into what this means for the centuries-old practice of church sanctuary.
Once more, people like Cuccinelli make the Old Dominion look absurd.

Commodus was a Roman emperor during the early years of the first millennium. Born Lucius Aurelius Commodus, he is known as a ruler who designed a major turning point in Roman history. Commodus was appointed as a co-ruler, at the age of 16, after fighting alongside his father and emperor, Marcus Aurelius, during the 'Marcomannic Wars.' He later went on to succeed his father as the emperor, which made him the first Roman prince in nearly 100 years to have been able to take the reins from his biological father. Though Commodus's rule was not marked by any gruesome wars like those of his predecessors, his time on the throne involved various scandals and conspiracies. In the midst of such chaos, Commodus was perceived as a quintessential dictator, which led to him developing a "God complex." His reign is also remembered as the final chapter of a peaceful time in the Roman Empire which had lasted for about 84 years. Like many Roman emperors before and after him, Commodus was assassinated by the erstwhile Roman military leader. His style of rule and the conspiracies hatched during his reign are often cited as the reasons behind the subsequent "Year of the Five Emperors," a time which shook the Roman Empire to its foundations.

- Lucius Aurelius Commodus was born in 161 AD, to the erstwhile Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, in Lanuvium, near Rome. His mother, Anna Galeria Faustina Minor, was the first cousin of Marcus.Commodus also had an elder twin brother, Titus Aurelius Fulvus Antoninus. Titus died in 165, making Commodus the eldest son of Emperor Marcus and the heir apparent to the throne. He had 12 other siblings, including Titus, all natural-born children of his father.Of the 13 children of Marcus Aurelius, only six remained at the time of Emperor Marcus's death. Of these six children, Commodus was the only son.In 166 AD, Commodus was accorded the title of "Caesar," an honor reserved for the children of the royal family. He was also provided with the services of his father's physician, Galen, to make sure he remained healthy, as he was the only remaining son of the emperor.In his early years, he was tutored by a number of teachers, to develop his intellectual capabilities. These teachers included Onesicrates, Titus Aius Sanctus, and Antistius Capella among others.His first tryst with the military was in 172 AD, when he was stationed at Carnuntum, the headquarters of Marcus Aurelius in the 'Marcomannic Wars.' The same year, he was bestowed with the victory title "Germanicus" in full view of the Roman army.In 175 AD, Commodus was inducted into the 'College of Pontiffs,' a move which formally began his public life at an age of 14. Titles did not stop coming his way as he was appointed as the consul of the Roman Empire in 177 AD and as the co-ruler to Emperor Marcus Aurelius later that year.Between becoming the consul and the co-ruler of the Roman Empire, Commodus married Bruttia Crispina.Continue Reading BelowYou May LikeRecommended Lists:
Recommended Lists:The Reign of Emperor Commodus
- Marcus Aurelius died in March 180 AD, leaving the reins of the Roman Empire to his only son, Commodus.Commodus began his reign by making peace with the Danubian tribes in 180 AD. He arrived in Rome amidst much fanfare, as his effort to maintain peace was perceived as a triumph. Contrary to preceding emperors who maintained a strong influence on the governance of the empire, Commodus always came across as disinterested in the details of the administration. He instead appointed a series of his loyal confidantes, such as Saoterus, to run the empire on his behalf.His cavalier attitude toward ruling brought a series of disasters, the first of which began in 182 AD.Assassination Plots, Murder & Conspiracies in 182 AD
- The year 182 AD marks the time when Commodus's rule faced its first challenge. Lucilla, one of Commodus's sisters, made an attempt to assassinate the emperor through the two alleged lovers she had: Marcus Ummidius Quadratus Annianus and Appius Claudius Quintianus.The assassination attempt failed, as the emperor was saved by his bodyguards. Both the accused were later executed, and Lucilla was exiled to Capri, where she was assassinated later. The motive behind the plot had supposedly been Lucilla's jealousy toward Queen Crispina.The year was also marked by the assassination of Saoterus. This event saddened Commodus greatly, as he had grown fond of Saoterus. His assassination was believed to have been arranged by two praetorian prefects: Tarrutenius Paternus and Sextus Tigidius Perennis. The former was also involved in the aforementioned plot to assassinate Commodus. Perennis later backstabbed Paternus by implicating him in the murder of Saoterus.Paternus was executed soon after, as Perennis seized control over the functioning of the government while Cleander was appointed as the new chamberlain. It was later revealed that it was Cleander who had put the final nail in Saoterus's coffin.Rumblings in Dacia & Britain & the Fall of Perennis
- Dacia, a region in Greece, got embroiled in a war in 183 AD. This campaign was unique, as it presented two distinguished military leaders, Clodius Albinus and Pescennius Niger, who would later become contenders for the throne of the Roman Empire.The Roman army in Britain was also a source of great concern in Rome, as they were close to the point of mutiny. Perennis drafted the army in Britain to Italy to suppress the uprising of brigands. A detachment of the Roman army from Britain denounced Perennis in front of Commodus. They claimed Perennis was planning to make his own son the emperor, by supplanting Emperor Commodus. This news struck Commodus who immediately ordered the beheading of Perennis and the killing of Perennis's wife and sons.Continue Reading BelowThe Rise & Fall of Cleander
- The direct beneficiary Perennis's death was Cleander. The detachment of Roman soldiers from Britain, who made the execution of Perennis possible, was apparently set up by Cleander to do the same.With Perennis gone, the entire responsibility of handling government and public affairs fell into Cleander's lap. He used this power to sell public offices to the highest bidders.This stench of incessant corruption in Rome spread across Europe. Rebellions were springing up in different regions of the empire. All the while, Cleander sat in Rome, filling his coffers. At the true height of power, Cleander became the supreme commander of the 'Praetorian Guard.'In 190 AD, an incident of grain shortage became the undoing of Cleander. A mob demonstrated against Cleander at the 'Circus Maximus,' during a horse race. Angered by protestors, Cleander ordered the 'Praetorian Guard' to suppress the mob. He was stopped by Pertinax, who was the city prefect of Rome at that time.With the mob after him, Cleander scurried to Commodus in the hope of being saved from the angry mob. The emperor, however, chose to listen to his mistress, Marcia, who urged Commodus to have Cleander and his son executed. The king obliged, and Cleander and his son met a gruesome end to their lives.The God Complex
- After the death of Cleander, Commodus became more involved in the day-to-day operations of Rome.Soon, Commodus emerged as a megalomaniac in the eyes of the Senate and the public in general. He changed the name of Rome to 'Colonia Lucia Annia Commodiana.' However, he did not stop there.He renamed fleets, palaces, the Senate, and even the people of the empire, after his name. His fall into the "God complex" is still considered by many historians as the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire. Besides changing names, he also instituted several statues of himself around the city.The Death of Commodus
- Considering his actions, Commodus's assassination on December 31, 182 AD, came as no surprise. The assassination was planned by Prefect Laetus and Eclectus. They poisoned Commodus's food. However, the plan failed as the emperor vomited the poison out. They attempted to kill Commodus again by sending his wrestling partner Narcissus to strangle him. This time, the plan worked, as Narcissus strangled Emperor Commodus in his bath.Continue Reading BelowUpon his death, the Senate promptly declared Commodus as a public enemy and undid all the renaming orders he had given. Pertinax, the military leader of the Roman army, succeeded Commodus but managed to keep the throne only for a few weeks. This tumultuous time later came to be known as the "Year of the Five Emperors."Major Works
- Upon gaining the throne, Commodus devalued the currency of the Roman Empire.He also reduced the weight of the denarius to a point where the reduction was the largest in Roman history.The purity of silver was also reduced from 79% to 76%, during his reign. In 186 AD, the purity was further reduced to 74%, according to his ordersAchievements
- Commodus's biggest achievement was maintaining relative peace in the empire. No major wars were fought during his reign.Commodus negotiated a peace treaty with the Danubian tribes after taking the reins from his fatherPersonal Life and Legacy
- Many historians feel the reign of Commodus was a turning point in Roman history. Commodus was not a sadist or a cruel person. However, his lack of motivation to rule, coupled with his insatiable desire to satisfy his ego, became a detriment to his reign.He remained popular with the public, partly because he organized a lot of festivals for the amusement of the common people. He also taxed the Senate heavily, which made people happier.The legacy of Commodus is covered in blood and chaos. Immediately after his death, the Roman Empire suffered through the infamous "Year of the Five Emperors." His reign is often considered by historians as the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire.Trivia

After two years of doctors visits with sinus infections, my family physician referred me to Dr. Lenkowski. After examining me and sending me for a cat scan, he thought I would benefit from sinus surgery. He explained it as an in-office procedure with little down time to recover. I am a teacher. Having the surgery on Friday and back to work on Monday sounded encouraging. Dr. Lenkowski explained it completely with detailed instructions and medications ahead of time. The pain free procedure was performed on Friday afternoon. I was eating dinner and resting comfortably on Friday evening. As I recovered, I realized I could breathe easier and didn't have the soreness around my eyes that sinus pressure brings. I have been free from sinus infections and headaches since then. Dr. Lenkowski and his staff are kind, caring, conscientious and professional. They are the best.
I am very pleased with the results of my out-patient sinus surgery performed at your ENT office in early April. You and your staff are very professional and I felt very comfortable during the entire process before and after surgery.
Prior to my surgery, I was constantly dealing with clogged sinuses and drainage issues. But now after surgery, I am amazed at the improvement in my ability to breathe through my nose (as detailed in the before and after pictures that I saw, my sinus openings were full of polyps and lumps before surgery and after surgery show clear sinus airways and the polyps and lumps are gone). To summarize, it feels like I am breathing through two large stove pipes now and it is especially noticeable at night when I am going to sleep. With this said, I will definitely recommend the sinus surgery to all my friends and family if they are having sinus issues. A big thanks to you and your staff.
"Dr. Lenkowski performed a balloon sinus procedure on me with excellent results. The left sinus was always stopped up before the procedure and now after he opened it up, I am breathing so much better. I felt no pain during the procedure. I recommend this practice to anyone having sinus problems."
"Great doctor! Great staff! Life changing care!"
"I have not been to this office but they do not get any better than Dr. Lenkowski. He is an amazing Dr. He put tubes in our oldest daughters ears when she was about 18 months old and called on a Sat to check on her! He is a class act and he is nice and personable with a great bedside manner. I would trust him to operate on both my children."
"Dr. Lenkowski is an amazing doctor. His bed side manner is wonderful and he is great with children. My son had his tonsils/adenoids removed with Dr. Lenkowski and his quality of life has improved greatly. My son had the best care throughout the process! We could not have asked for a better Doctor!"
"Wonderful and professional doctor!!! Truly goes above and beyond for his patients."
"Doctor Lenkowski is a great doctor and very good with little ones. We had a great experience and highly recommended."
"Dr. Lenkowski is a wonderful Doctor. He performed surgery on my son twice ( a week apart) met me at the ER and is just the BEST DOCTOR, best side manner, passionate, caring, physician I know."
"I am a nurse in the OR and have worked with Dr Lenkowski for years. He is a very talented surgeon. He is so wonderful to his patients and all of the staff.
Very thoughtful and kind to everyone. He is definitely the one I would go to or send my family/friends to for any ENT issues."
"Absolutely wonderful Doctor and staff!"
"Dr. Lenkowski and his nurse, Heather, are the best. I've been struggling with allergies and sinus infections for YEARS. I've seen countless professionals over the years, but nobody has better bedside manner and genuine compassion to make people feel better. "
"Dr Lenkowski and Heather are awesome! I appreciated their compassion and support after my daughter's tonsillectomy."
"Dr. Lenkowski has seen my son for years, when he left Lewis Gale I decided to follow. Best decision I've ever made. The new office and staff make the atmosphere 100% better than his old office. My son even said he liked this office better and that the people were really nice. When a 5yr old says that you know it's made an impact on them. Thank you all for your professionalism and your calm atmosphere!! Best doctor around the Roanoke Valley!!!!"
"I worked in the main Operating Room at Lewis Gale Medical Center with Dr. Lenkowski for several years and saw him in action. He is an amazingly skilled surgeon. That's why I recommended him to my nephew for his little girl. Dr. Lenkowski was wonderful with her. She was 2 years old when he operated, and she wasn't even scared of him. If you want a friendly, caring, and knowledgeable ENT, choose Dr. Lenkowski…you won't regret it!!"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Lenkowski for 9 years. I started seeing him when he was at Jefferson Surgical. I followed him to Lewis Gale and I moved with him when he went into private practice at Roanoke Valley ENT & Allergy. He is great at what he does. He spends time with you to understand your problem and to come up with the best solution. With the great gap between our ages, I plan on him being my ENT the rest of my life. "
"Dr. Lenkowski has been so awesome with both me and my daughter (5). He has worked with us on our concerns, made sure we tried other options before resorting to surgery and just overall has been very attentive and kind. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT for an adult or child."
"Very impressed with the quality of care and the professionalism of the staff. They took the time to be sure I was comfortable. Dr. Lenkowski was well informed, helpful and took the time to answer questions. Excellent facility and staff!"
"For years I have experienced chronic ear issues with eczema. Dr. Lenkowski's diagnosis and treatment was spot on. He answers all of my questions and is quite caring which is important to me. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a great ENT."
"Very personable and knowledgeable Doctor with a very pleasant manner. Would definitely recommend!"
"Dr. Lenkowski is the epitome of every positive characteristic I want in a doctor. His office and the experience they offer are unparalleled."
"Dr. Lenkowski was interested in the reason I was there to be checked, he thoroughly examined my ears, nose, throat and neck and ask questions. When I was ready to leave he told me to come back if I had any other problems. I would recommend Dr. Lenkowski to any of my family members or friends."
"Dr. Lenkowski always takes the time to really listen and evaluate a situation. He is cautious and thorough with his exams and takes the extra mile of service for his patients. I have recommended him to many and will continue to do so."
"Very knowledgeable and explained the issues in a very articulate manner. I was impressed with the amount of time he was willing to allow me to discuss other concerns. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting an excellent ENT specialist."
"I was very impressed with not only Dr. Lenkowski's delightful demeanor but his ability to really listen to what was important to me. His care is genuine and his thoughtfulness was comforting. I trust him with my entire family."
"I would recommend again and again. I was out completely at ease (even tho I was scared to death to have a camera up my nose haha). I was able to get a fast appointment because someone had canceled and the whole staff was friendly and efficient."
"I saw Dr. Lenkowski for the first time today. I had seen an associate of his that felt I could benefit from seeing Dr. Lenkowski. I appreciated his direct and straight forward approach, as well as his knowledge when he reviewed and explained my CT scan to me. He pays attention to detail and cares about his patients' quality of life. I feel I am in very capable hands as I face surgery in the near future."
"I was pleased with my experience. It is always good to be treated with professionalism and care."
"I have been seeing Dr. Lenkowski for almost 8 years. I have been very pleased with the care I have received from him."
"First time appt based on ER visit. Staff was excellent, helpful. Dr Lenkowski explained procedure, alternatives and ongoing care. He took his time and kept close watch on me during the visit. Could not ask for better care from this doctor and staff."
"I have always had a great rapport with Dr. Lenkowski. He is very professional, yet warm in his demeanor. He has helped me so much with my sinus/ allergy condition and he spends time to answer and address my questions and issues. I am very pleased with the services rendered under his care."
"In my opinion Dr. Lenkowski is the best ENT doctor in the Roanoke area. He is very personable, exceptionally knowledgeable in his field, and he takes the time to listen to the patient's concerns. The front desk personnel are exceptionally courteous, and friendly. I also found the examining room nurse to be pleasant and very thorough. I highly recommend this practice."
"One of the very BEST physicians I have ever encountered!!! Great listening skills,, a true professional and appears to be an expert in his field; highly competent. I would most definitely recommend him to friends and family."
"Dr. Lenkowski and his team gave me back quality of life. He is very thorough and knowledgeable. I had two sinus surgeries that basically did no good before knowing him. He connected me with the right people, medications and procedures and I feel like a new person.. I have not needed a round of high-potency antibiotics and prednisone for over a year. He is the best!"
"Dr. Lenkowski is thorough in his examination, quickly assesses the condition and provides excellent diagnosis of the treatment to correct the problem."
"I think that Dr. Lenkowski is one of the best . He takes the time to talk to you an that to me is very important. He is very helpful in explaining what the problem is an how to take care of it ."
"My recent visit to Dr Lenkowski was the first for me to an ENT doctor in a long time. I have to say that I was very impressed with his professionalism and manner of treating patients. Dr Lenkowski is a very likeable person and has to be one of my favorite physicians, period. I highly recommend him to any patient having ENT issues."

They've done it again. For the second consecutive day, the Red Sox forgot to bring their bats to the ballpark. When the MLB's top run producing offense is facing off against a last place team, you expect it to get ugly. It did on Friday and Saturday when the Red Sox scored a combined 27 runs. Unfortunately, it has gotten just as ugly in the complete opposite way as they have now scored just 1 run over the past 2 games.
On Sunday in Oakland, they wasted a masterful one hit performance by Eduardo Rodriguez as they were shut out and wound up losing on a walk-off error. On Monday, they wasted yet another quality start from Drew Pomeranz. Pomeranz didn't have his best stuff on Monday, but 5 ⅔ innings and 2 ER should be good enough to get a win. The only 3 runs scored in this game came via the long ball. A two run home run off the bat of Padres second basemen Adam Rosales, and a pinch hit solo shot courtesy of Chris Young. For the most part, Monday's game was uneventful in a bad way. Despite out-hitting their opponent 7 to 6, the Sox were never quite able to string hits together and push some runs across.
Drew Pomeranz was able to make it through 5 ⅔ innings while allowing 6 hits, 2 walks, and striking out 5 batters. This isn't anything to brag about, but should be a solid enough outing to earn a win. Monday's start makes it 6 of his last 7 starts that Pomeranz has allowed 2 ER or less. Aside from his first few starts, Pomeranz has been just as good as we thought he was when Dombrowski traded away Anderson Espinoza. The problem is that when Pomeranz takes the ball, the offense is incapable of producing. In Pomeranz' 10 starts on the team, the Red Sox have only lost 2 games in which they have score more than 2 runs. It would be great if 2 runs could always be enough to get a win, but when you consider the facts that we're talking about our #3 starter and our horrid bullpen, it's not difficult to come to the conclusion that 2 runs will almost never be enough.
In the wake of some good news that Andrew Benintendi is ahead of schedule, Boston's other young stud struggled mightily. Yoan Moncada went 0 for 3 with 3 strikeouts. It is almost painful to watch him because it is so apparent that he has all this god given ability, but he just lacks the fundamentals. Sunday's game against Oakland showcased that about as well as any you'll ever see. He makes a good throw, then follows it up by butchering a routine ground ball. He lines a rocket 103 mph up the middle, then gets picked off at first. Based on what we've seen so far, Benintendi is the better player at this moment, but Moncada definitely has the higher ceiling. I'm not saying Moncada is a bust after 4 games, but Andrew Benintendi may have set the bar a little too high for Yoan coming straight from Double-A.
With a Blue Jays loss, the Red Sox remain just 1 game behind in the AL East. This is good and bad. It's good because we haven't lost any ground in the division. On the other hand, it hurts to think that if the Sox could've pulled this one out they'd be back in a tie for first place. Clay Buchholz will take the ball tomorrow as a starter as opposed to John Farrell's 8th inning guy. In his 3 previous starts, Clay has held his own and kept the Sox in the game. If he can continue to attack hitters and pound the strike zone, maybe he can be the stopper that this Red Sox team needs. But you know what they say, you can't win if you can't score. Maybe someone should tell the Red Sox offense.

Barbecues Gas vs. Charcoal
Barbecues Gas vs. Charcoal (post #53580)
For you cooks out there- who BBQ simple receipes for chicken, fish and burgers-- do you think charcoal BBQs are better than gas?
We were told that there is no difference. The theory being that smoke is smoke and that once the meat drippings land on the heat source it makes no difference. I agree that gas grills are more convenient, but Webber has come out with a charcoal model that has a built in heat source (propane gas) to easily get the chargoal going. However, their web site doesn't mention which model (gas or charcoal) is the best. This seems like a good idea - but if you think there is no difference I'll go for the convenience of a gas BBQ.
If you decide on gas, check out the Holland Grill. We love ours and don't think there is another as good, except maybe those $5000 jobs, and they probably don't cook any better. Holland has a web site.
My son in law swears by charcoal, but not because of flavor. He says it's the mood it creates....relax in a lawn chair and have a beer or two while the coals heat up.
There is no issue, Charcoal is much better.
However, its messy, less convenient, trickier to cook.
I have an expensive Weber gas grill. It does slower/longer cooking like chicken well but it doesn't cook a steak worth a damn.
We have a Weber gas BBQ that I connected up to our kitchen gas supply when we remodelled. Convenient because we don't have to worry about gas tanks.
We HATE it. There is simply no flavour in any of the meat other than what we use in a dry rub or marinade. We've tried everything - wood chips in containers, nothing works. When we really want flavour , we pull out the old rusty wood-fire BBQ. The best BBQ for flavour and convenience is Captain Cook but I can't remember which country it's in.
I had a huge Thermos gas grill with many, many BTU's and a side burner (which I never used - any breeze blew it out)...and it gave great results. I have done many meats; turkey burgers, steaks, half cornish, pizza and did the most killer veggie platters. You can fit a great deal of food on a large gas grill and you can do it on a weeknight because it's fast and convenient.
There are flavor benefits to charcoal, so the Weber to which you refer may be your
i Nirvana.
I didn't get to take said mondo grill when I moved to CO and my S.O. had this tiny weird shaped gizmo in the backyard which could not fit much food on it. It was attached to a propane tank and had lava rocks through which the fire had to travel. He explained that it was intended to be a smoker but it does great grill too. I mean to tell you, this thing cooks meat like you dipped it in
i Liquid Smoke.
The richest, smokiest flavor added a whole new dimension to whatever sauce, marinade or rub was applied to the food. Very deep smoky flavor...but not many square inches on which to cook food (one cut up chicken takes up the whole round grill). Maybe you'll have similar luck with the Weber.
I definitely agree that charcoal is better - and the lump burns better than the briquettes. Both the flavor and the whole cooking experience are much more satisfying than with gas. For a small quantity of food, we just use a good ole "Smokey Joe" which you can find at discount dept stores for under $20. Good luck, and happy grilling!
Recently at Home Depot (has to be my all time favorite store), I saw mesquite and hickory flavored briquettes for gas grills. Anybody had any experience with these? If they work, they might give certain meats,say for instance steak, more of a "charcoal" flavor.
BTW, we have a gas grill, but the DH swears the flavor just isn't the same as it was with our old charcoal grill. Maybe it's a "male thing" because I can't tell that much difference.
The drawback to gas grills(LPG) is it doesn't get near hot enough, I've tried cooking on them and lava rocks juz don't cut it.
Maybe using brickette type charcoals...nah, they get so hot they'd melt the burners.
Gas is good for convenience and keeping the kitchen cool but for best results charcoal is the way to go, they use charcoal to melt steel in foundry's for that reason.
Cheers, Gerard
We use the wood briquettes for our gas grill and soak them in water first I think (husband is in charge of grilling). I can't tell any difference in flavor when cooking steak with our gas grill vs. the charcoal we used to use. He places the steak around the outside edges of the grill where the heat is higher. We only eat a steak once or twice a year, so it could be that I'm so grateful to be eating it that I don't notice, but no complaints here. ;-)
Perhaps you should decide based on what you generally cook on a grill...more poultry and fish, or more steak. A gas grill can cook a killer roast chicken.
after only one month of concerted effort to burn animal flesh myself for my meals, i cannot speak highly enough to the advantages of wood/ charcoal grilling. having grown up in an affluent pool-side bbq-ing type of family, i thought i understood the manifold benefits of eating off the grill, and never understood that the gas models simply cannot sear and cook a thick steak properly. of course, i can't make chicken worth a damn less i oven cook it first, and i've yet to introduce the girlfriend to the joys of pittsburghed hamburgers (black on the outside, purple-pink on the inside), but i can't say how satisfying it is to remain a gustatory ignoramous and still know i can grill a tender flavorful steak any night of the week.
friends and family all have the gas models, and they do seem more convinient for entertaining and cooking (get the fire going, then pay scant attention), but for the zen peace associated with stoking and tending a vibrant, living fire into cookable force whilst downing many beers, real wood and charcoal is the only choice.
I must have been
i incredibly
lucky...any grills I had cooked pretty darned hot and the food cooked on them was excellent. (I actually referred to one of them, I think the Thermos, as a "microwave grill" because it cooked fast.)
Shrugs shoulders.
Sean: Like I said before about using charcoal: "It's got to be a
i male
Wait a minute . . . sysop guru AND you can cook? If it weren't for my DH and your girlfriend . . .
Sorry, Nihon, but Jean and I have already adopted Sean. Of course, for a price,
i maybe
we could work a deal.....
Speak for yourself kiddo, if I "unadopt" him then I can't yell at him anymore when he screws up!(But that's all in the past, right?) BTW, our grill is languishing, unused. I find it so ironic that now when we can finally afford to buy steak, it's no longer good for us!! LOL
i thought eveyone was still angry at me...
too d#mn hot to bbq today, at least here in the northeast. recommend grilling only if beer rains down from the heavens (so humid last night it took 30+ minutes to get the charcoal/ wood fire going with an electric coil).
that's taunton there on fire in danbury!
Having used both, I believe the charcoal really is better for steak because of the more intense heat factor. My S.O., on the other hand, swears there's no difference but that may be because he was in the propane business all his life.
Rare day indeed when Danbury is hotter than Dallas!!We had 54 days last summer when it was over 100, do not ever want to go thru that again..suggest stay indoors get keg. smitty
Aw, sweetie, you know we can't stay angry with you!!
it was nothing. i scoff at such steamy early new england summer heat, as, having played in three-game rugby tourney in dallas one day in may, i can say my little two mile run midday today compares not at all to that texas marrow-sucking heat (tho i am praying for the well-being of the poor b#stards reshingling my roof today).
can't wait to get home and burn some food up!
anyone have any tricks for properly grilling veggies over a wood fire? i tried it last night simultaneous with a flame set perfect for my 1-1/2 thick sirloin, but wasn't sure how to grill the green and red peppers, beyond coating wiht olive oil and sneakin off to the side of the grill.
But then, again, maybe I could. Have you been trifling with us again? Just when things were going along swimmingly I click on "read your new messages" and get this
b Taunton Press Discussions
instead of my new messages. It's not nice to fool with my mind like this, dear.
Hi Sean! I have become a grilled veggie addict! I marinate a couple ears of corn- shucked & red & yellow peppers(cut in half) & yellow summer squash cut into 1/2" circles & zuccini (sic?) in the same size circles & I also do 1 or two jalapenos- split in half & seeded. I also do an onion & a tomato. I have been fooling around with the marinades, but started with good seasons Italian w/olive oil & white wine vinegar. Marinate 24 hours- turning the bag whenever I go in the fridge. I do my veggies 1st on the grill- just watch closely,check the corn especially. When done, I put the peppers & jalapeno in a plastic bag to cool & easily peel the skin off. I have a glass serving dish with a lid & while still outside, I cut the corn off the cob & put in dish, then the rest as it is done. I cut up the peppers & mince the jalapeno & put in bowl too, along with the cut up onion & tomato (keeping as much juice as possible). Then just mix everything up. This is soooo goood. Even better the next day. Also anyleftovers are great on top of a pizza w/some cheese. Or in fajitas!
Could someone tell me...if I'm only going to make veggies and a few fish dinners, does it matter tastewise if I use a charcoal or gas grill?
Not really. Either would do fine.
k, here I go, sticking my neck out again. But, might be something to it. Have brand new 714 sq.in. cook surface, and just breaking it in.
My father has the prototype that is 17 years old. The design has not changed too much, but I think the seasoning of the "pit" itself make a taste difference when using charcoal. My pit does not produce the same amount of smoke as my dads. Kinna like that cast iron pot theory..no?. Gas grills too wimpy for me. And straight wood too strong.
And you thought you had nothing to contribute. Wrong!
Think we'll be picking your brain more or more.
(Attn. group: The girl knows grilling!)
lol.......okay, pick brain, but not feathers or I will never fly. :)

Here in the U.S., we are overwhelmed. Once again, a madman with guns — more guns than anybody can defend. Once again, innocents sent running for their lives. Once again, two sides of the political spectrum disagree on the solution. Once again, once again, once again.
We are stupefied, frozen in fear and disgust and dismay and horror. Powerless, many strike out verbally, fed up with history stuck on an infinite loop. Powerless, many hide under their covers, stare too long at their screens, freeze into inactivity.
But you are not without power.
Coincidentally, yesterday I lost electricity at my house, which also serves as my office. Without electricity, I not only don't have lights, I don't have internet or coffee, either. I can't open my fridge or use the microwave. Essentially, the only thing I can do is go online on my phone until the battery runs out or crawl into bed with a book. It was tempting. Instead, i moved around my week's schedule and ran errands that I'd been putting off.
My point? You can always do SOMETHING. When the winds of chaos threaten to blow you off course, find your anchor. You only need one.
It's been a heck of a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade, a lifetime — you name it. And it will likely remain so, in one way or another, until your death. Generations before us have faced calamities, both personal and public. And they got through them, even when it felt like the sky was falling down. Someday, that end might come. But until then, you've got life to live.
Take back your power — there are a million ways. Match your actions to your concerns. Volunteer to walk a shelter dog, bring meals to the homebound elderly, build homes for the homeless, record audio for the blind, canvas for a political party. Start your own grassroots organization. Organize a blood drive. Get to know your neighbors. Donate books or sponsor classrooms in economically disadvantaged schools.
When you do this, you not only feed your spirit, but you play an important part in breaking down barriers — perceived or real — between groups. And if ever there was a time for breaking down barriers, this is it.
I've long loved the saying attributed to Mr. Rogers: "Look for the helpers." But those words are intended to comfort children. We're adults.
WE are the helpers. It's time to help.

I LOVE your article, Claire! I'm starting to get it why drama is good for you, though my first block would be overcoming my crippling stage fright! Your article is well written and makes so much sense…..I had wondered why so many comedians suffered from depression!
S.W. Artist
Hi Claire, Just writing to say thank you so much for all your articles,they always manage to make me feel better as sometimes in this world there is little I can relate to and these newsletters have a voice I completely identify with. Thanks.
T. V. Student
Dear Claire…How do i really share or elaborate the worded response – 'awesome' – that escaped my mouth, as I read this? How do I really tell you what the 'awesome' springs from? How does one describe this 'physicality' that you so wonderfully talk about? I was thinking this thoughts as I thought of how to tell you how touched I was…. and it seemed so important to me that i share that… I felt like a christmas tree that was all ablaze with bright lights – not light-bulbs, but more like intensely bright flash-bulbs popping here and there constantly… Your article lighted me up… like a christmas tree that was dynamically lighted. Thank you. (only the tone of the voice would convey what lies within and beneath this word.)
B.S. IT Consultant
Dear Claire….I do enjoy your pieces – they have a great combination of wit and wisdom……
