The Powerful Synergy of Multi-Modal PdM Analysis
EP Editorial Staff | January 2, 2004
If "one tool fit all," mechanics' toolboxes would contain only one wrench, one hammer, and so on. But mechanics must have a wide range of tools—for example, numerous wrench and driver configurations to span a growing range of fasteners.
In a similar way, the PdM professional's inspection "toolbox" contains a host of options, including infrared (IR) thermography, electric motor circuit analysis, vibration, tribology (oil/lubricant analysis), ultrasound analysis, and the most ancient of all, unaided human visual, tactile, and acoustic inspection.
Field experience has demonstrated that by appropriately combining and relating the results of different inspection options, PdM professionals can create a synergistic solution—one that is far more thorough than if based on only one test or on several nonintegrated inspection testing methods. This article provides a selection of lessons learned in actual cases in which more than one PdM analytical method was used, which led to a robust understanding and optimal resolution of challenging maintenance problems.
Where there's heat there's probably vibration
"My infrared camera paid for itself the first time I used it," said Richard Harrison, maintenance engineer at Consolidated Diesel Co.'s Whitakers, NC, plant. Moments after he turned on his brand-new ThermaCAM PM 290 infrared camera from FLIR Systems, N. Billerica, MA, in the plant for the first time, he detected a surface temperature of about 640 F on the electrical panel of a starter motor that was clearly on the verge of catching fire. The starter was immediately taken off-line and repairs made.
He calculates that if the starter motor had burned, the resulting repairs and the value of lost production would have totaled about $350,000—more than four times the cost of the camera, lenses, and training at FLIR's Infrared Training Center.
Subsequently, Harrison was performing an infrared scan of an electrical panel located on a mezzanine catwalk high above a parts washer. He happened to scan below in the direction of the parts washer and noticed a tiny, but clearly anomalous, heat signature. "The high resolution of the camera and its sensitivity enabled me to see a small, subtle anomaly in the coupler between the parts washer motor and pump more than 30 ft away," he said. At ground level he rescanned the anomaly up close (Fig. 1).
The apparent temperature at the coupler was only 110 F, but high enough relative to the surface temperatures of the motor and the pump to make Harrison suspicious. He performed a slow motion study in which he used a strobe light, setting its frequency to the shaft's rpm, essentially "freezing" the shaft for inspection. The two halves of the coupler, which are joined by a flexible "spider," appeared to be slapping into one another. Something was definitely wrong.
Vibration analysis detected both mechanical looseness and misalignment (Fig. 2).
During scheduled downtime, the pump was shut down and the entire assembly was disassembled and inspected. Four of the spider's eight legs were seriously damaged, allowing the coupler halves to make contact, producing vibration and excessive heat (Fig. 3). A new coupler and spider were installed, and the pump was put back in service.
Post-repair vibration testing showed an 80 percent reduction in vibration amplitude and the elimination of misalignment (Fig. 4). A post-repair infrared scan showed the coupler temperature had decreased by 22.2 F. The rule of thumb conclusion was validated: "Where there's heat, there's probably vibration."
Thermography and MCA
A multiple-technology solution to the detection of rotating machinery problems can reduce uncertainty when trying to pinpoint a fault. Howard W. Penrose, PhD, of ALL-TEST PRO, a division of BJM Corp. Old Saybrook, CT, provides the following recent example of combining results of sophisticated motor circuit analysis (MCA), infrared thermography, and vibration analyses.
During a routine infrared predictive maintenance inspection at a major Midwestern automotive transmission manufacturing plant, a thermographer using a FLIR PM 695 infrared camera determined a motor was operating at an excessively high temperature. The 7.5 hp motor powered a coolant pump in a transmission case machining center that is responsible for critical machining on a key component in the assembly plant. Failure of the cooling pump would cause a shutdown of the entire plant.
The PdM program at the plant includes a broad spectrum of predictive/preventive technology options. A work order for additional analysis was generated to determine if the root cause of the fault was electrical or mechanical.
First, MCA confirmed that the motor and cabling tested electrically good. Follow-up vibration analysis identified a bearing fault in the motor. Close monitoring allowed the motor to be run until scheduled downtime, when it was replaced. A post-installation infrared scan showed the new motor was operating within normal parameters. Subsequent cost analysis of this one incident showed a 100 percent return on investment for all instruments used.
Ultrasound complements IR
Mark Goodman of UE Systems, Elmsford, NY, uses a combination of ultrasound, infrared, and vibration analysis to accurately determine the condition of operating equipment as well as to identify the location of a problem.
Applications include leak detection in pressure and vacuum systems, bearing inspection, steam trap inspection, detection of valve blow-by, detection of cavitation in pumps, detection of corona, tracking and arcing in electrical gear, the integrity of seals and gaskets in transformers, and even partial discharge in cable splices, terminations and transformers. He has found the directional nature of ultrasound allows him to detect warning signals—changes in the normal sonic signature of an assembly—long before actual failure.
Goodman uses infrared thermography and ultrasound analysis together to inspect steam valves. He touches the upstream and downstream sides of a valve with the contact probe of an ultrasonic sensor. Through the headphones, he can detect the steam passing through a leaking valve producing turbulence that is heard as a gurgling or rushing sound. Blockage will produce no sound. Since valve blow-by in steam systems will produce a higher temperature reading downstream, infrared thermography can be used to detect the thermal anomaly and confirm the analysis.
Heat can be a good indicator of a leaking hydraulic valve. The frictional forces of fluid moving through a leak can produce heat as a byproduct. This has been a useful phenomenon in aircraft inspection. However, not every leaking hydraulic valve will produce heat and the proximity of valves in certain configurations can lead to a potentially inaccurate diagnosis due to heat (and in some instances sound) transference.
This inspection process can be aided by incorporating ultrasound with infrared. A leaking valve will produce a louder sound downstream. By comparing infrared results with upstream and downstream ultrasonic readings, an operator can quickly make a positive diagnosis.
Ultrasound and thermography enhance safety
Allan Rienstra and James M. Hall of SDT North America, Cobourg, ON, use airborne ultrasonic translators to detect corona, tracking, and arcing. They point out that ultrasound can detect faults through small openings or door seals on switchgear cabinetry, through the outer shell of oil-filled transformers, and in the switchyard emitting from bushings, buss bars, and insulators. Using highly sensitive airborne sensors, these ultrasonic detectors can isolate electric faults on high-tension transmission and distribution lines at distances of more than 150 ft.
They note that corona and tracking do not show up with an infrared scan in electrical systems having a potential below 240 kV, and that ultrasonic detection can find electric faults in systems well below this threshold. "This alone demonstrates the need for the inspection industry to marry temperature imaging and ultrasound scanning techniques," they said.
Ultrasound scanning can provide safety benefits. Some utilities use ultrasonic detection as a screening device to monitor for severe partial discharge or arcing before entry into manholes and cable vaults. Rienstra and Hall report using ultrasound to detect corona, arcing, or tracking around door seals and air vents of enclosed switchgear in the following example.
Both an infrared camera and airborne ultrasound were used to inspect 15 13.8 kV rectifier panels during a routine inspection of a chemical plant in the southeast—with the panels closed. Thermography did not detect significant temperature anomalies through the closed panels. However, significant levels of airborne ultrasound were detected at the lower right corner of one of the panels.
Several qualified electrical technicians were able to safely listen to the signal, identify its signature as that of a breaker, and take definitive action. The vacuum breaker was removed and a dc current was applied to it, revealing a fault. The intervention averted the loss of electrical power, a shutdown of the plant's compressed air system, and possible injury to personnel from fire or shock. Since then airborne ultrasound inspection of all switchgear has been added as part of the regular scheduled infrared preventive/predictive maintenance program.
Will the presses roll until scheduled downtime?
The advantage of using multiple technologies is that a problem can be cross-diagnosed and decisions to repair or to delay repairs can be made much more confidently. James Sullivan Jr., maintenance engineer with The New York Times, noted that the newspaper industry is unique not only in its demanding production schedules but also in its limited availability for planned maintenance. "For over 100 years," he said, "the newspaper industry has been using run to failure as a maintenance strategy."
Over the past decade, he reports that The New York Times has incorporated vibration analysis, thermography, tribology, and ultrasound in a robust, integrated PdM program. Two recent situations at the newspaper illustrate the value of this approach.
In one case, a thermographic scan on a press lineshaft identified a temperature of 168 F, 60 percent above normal, on one line clutch. Follow-up vibration data were collected for the clutch, requiring about 2 hours, compared with the 12 hours required to test the entire press lineshaft—a savings of 10 hours. The clutch was repaired during the next available maintenance window with no loss in production.
In a more dramatic case, the integrated PdM approach enabled maintenance engineers to confidently postpone replacing the tucking blade of a critical and failing folding machine until a scheduled downtime enabled the machine to be repaired with no loss of productivity. The folder is the last stage of a printing press and this one marries, cuts, and folds approximately 18 complete newspapers per second. "With such a demanding print schedule," Sullivan said, "unscheduled folder downtime is forbidden."
A rise in the vibration spectrum of the folder at 139 Hz and 153 Hz alerted Sullivan to the very beginning of an impending failure. The latest monthly oil samples contained an increase in iron and chromium particles, confirming the problem.
The subsequent month's vibration and oil data indicated that the problem had dramatically accelerated. Downtime was not scheduled for several more days. The folder was put on "daily sampling" status. After an oil sample showed much higher levels of iron and chromium, the oil was flushed during the next production shift change, avoiding any loss of productivity.
A spare tucking blade assembly was readied for change-out. Could the folder be operated continuously until the scheduled downtime? Vibration monitoring and oil changes were increased to a "per-shift" basis. The scheduled downtime was still 3 days away. Vibration readings were stepped up to twice per shift.
Finally, the scheduled downtime period arrived. The old tucking blade assembly was pulled out of the folder and the new spare assembly was installed without even 1 minute of unscheduled production downtime.
Thanks to integrated PdM analysis, the failing unit was run with confidence until downtime, reaping huge financial benefits. Visual inspection of the pulled assembly determined that a bearing retainer had worn away and an entire shaft was floating in the unit.
Had a critical failure occurred, it would have caused an estimated $275,000 in damage to the printing press and a safety risk to personnel, plus incurring a minimum of 5 days lost production time—worth about $2.4 million. The cost of the change-out was only about $62,000. The damaged tucking blade assembly was repaired at a leisurely pace at a cost of $18,000. "The integration of oil analysis and vibration analysis not only alerted us to a problem," Sullivan said, "but also gave us more confidence in running the unit for as long as we did."
By applying and integrating the results of different inspection options, PdM professionals can cross-diagnose a problem and make decisions to repair or to delay repairs more confidently. Success will come to those organizations that have a versatile and experienced work force from diverse engineering backgrounds and with formal training and certification in the various PdM inspection modalities.
The return on investment is clearly positive and substantial, providing management and purchasing decision makers verifiable data to justify the funds for procurement of the multi-modal toolbox that defines the modern PdM professional. MT

Posted by Yasmin Hussein on December 22, 2015 in Blog
The Syrian refugee crisis saw an increase in media attention in 2015, in part due to statistics that demonstrated the crisis contributed to the largest refugee crisis since World War II. Tragic images of refugees fleeing to Europe struck a chord of compassion in many hearts. Rhetoric seemed to change when politicians began using unwarranted and misguided fear-mongering tactics in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, France. In the United States the dialogue evolved around how many Syrian refugees the U.S. should admit, and the various stages of security screenings they must go through. But in the midst of all of this conversation, there are organizations that are working on the ground in the Middle East to ensure that each refugee does not become "collateral damage" of war and conflict.
The Collateral Repair Project (CRP) is a nonprofit organization based in Amman, Jordan. Started in 2006 by two American women, CRP provides a direct connection between citizens of coalition countries and innocent refugees who are suffering as a consequence of war and turmoil. CRP provides emergency assistance to hundreds of families through food vouchers, in-kind aid and information services. Their low administrative cost of 15% allows them to give back even more to the refugees they serve. They seek to repair some of the damage caused by war and conflict, and foster peace and reconciliation by restoring dignity and community amongst the refugees they serve.
CRP's strengths include a wealth of knowledge about the refugee community in East Amman and strong relationships with the beneficiaries they serve. Their community center is a place where many refugees, prohibited by Jordanian law from working, spend their days. Because of this, CRP has cultivated strong grassroots support from beneficiaries, many of whom go on to become volunteers, helping to assist their neighbors to access programs and services.
As we all begin to bundle up and get warm for the winter, hundreds of thousands of Syrian and Iraqi refugees are in need of the same warmth. The Collateral Repair Project intends to provide just that. Visit their website to learn more about their organization and campaigns.

Gene Therapy Using CAR T-cells Could Provide Long-term Protection Against HIV
Source: University of California, Los Angeles
Summary: Researchers through gene therapy, engineered blood-forming stem cells to carry chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) genes to make cells that can detect and destroy HIV-infected cells.
Antiviral drugs can suppress the amount of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in the body to almost undetectable levels, but only an effective immune response is crucial for the control of viremia and the elimination of HIV infected cells. Previous research has been seeking a way to improve the body's ability to combat the virus by specifically targeting and killing HIV-infected cells for the life of the individual. Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells have emerged as a powerful immunotherapy for various forms of cancer and show promise in treating HIV-1 infection, however, significant limitations are persistent and the therapy may not impart long-lasting immunity.
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, through gene therapy, engineered blood-forming stem cells (hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells – HSPCs) to carry chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) genes to make cells that can detect and destroy HIV-infected cells. These engineered cells not only destroyed the infected cells, they persisted for more than 2 years without any adverse effects, suggesting the potential to create long-term immunity from the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Such an approach is likely to work best when performed in combination with other treatment strategies, such as antiretroviral therapy. The study findings were published in the journal PLOS Pathogens.
Because HIV uses CD4 to infect cells, the researchers used a CAR molecule that hijacks the essential interaction between HIV and the cell surface molecule CD4 to make stem cell-derived T-cells target infected cells. When the CD4 on the CAR molecule binds to HIV, other regions of the CAR molecule signal the cell to become activated and kill the HIV infected cell. These findings are the first to show that HSPCs can be modified with a CAR therapy that can safely engraft in the bone marrow, mature and become functional immune cells throughout the body. Researchers hope that this type of therapy could reduce infected individuals' dependence on antiviral medications, lower the cost of therapy, and permit the possible HIV eradication from its hiding places in the body.

Greetings Class,
First, I want to say that you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
I'll be your guide as we travel through the amazing and complex world of soap making! It takes a bit of chemistry, a bit of cooking, and a bit of creativity to make a luxurious bar of soap. Since I am decently talented at all of those requirements, I figured, why not? Let's make the world smell. Good, that is.
So first off, what is soap? Well class, I'm glad you asked. Soap is a substance used with water for cleansing, generally made from the combination of natural oils or fats with sodium hydroxide or another strong alkali. So in Fight Club's case, they used human fat as their fat or oil. Unfortunately, that's generally frowned upon, so i opted for a blend of RSPO Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Castor Oil and Beeswax. It's no human lard, but it definitely does the trick.
It's about to get sci-ency, so hold on tight.
To make the soap, we melted all the solids (palm, coconut, and beeswax), added the liquid oils (almond and castor) and put that aside to cool to about 120F. At the same time, we dissolved sodium hydroxide flakes into water (always sodium hydroxide added to water, as the other way could result in a massively bad reaction), and allowed that to also cool to about 120F. Once everything was all cooled and dissolved, we added them together and pulsed with a hand blender until the mixture began to "trace", which is just a fancy word for the beginning of the reaction. It basically looks like a thin pudding consistency starts to form. Then add your fragrance, in this case we made a Coffee, Vetiver, and Bergamot blend, which smells amazing. (Thanks Lauren for the Bergamot idea, it brightened the whole blend and made the coffee pop!)
We then split the batch into two, adding colloidal oatmeal to one batch, and Heart Coffee grinds (their coffee is absolutely amazing) to the other, to swirl the two formulas together. Add a little of one, a little of the other, and so on and so forth. Then take a chop stick and swirl the mix around and let it setup overnight. I'm still working on getting the blending aspect, but it was my first time so lay off. After 24hrs we pulled the log out of its mold, and cut the bars to size. They came out really nice, and performance is pretty great. I'll be working on these a bit more, and adding them to our site for sale. So I guess we are making soap now, which is cool if you like to not be a stinker. Check out our pics above and share our blog! Comment below and I'll be sure to answer any questions!!!

Given it was an Olympic year, it was a good chance for brands to leverage the games to stand out. But my favorite ad was not about what an athlete was doing on the court but what he was going through off the court. The injury to Derrick Rose was a dramatic turn in the sports world and the story telling that Adidas did around the injury was brilliant.
#1 Derrick Rose Adidas
This is my favorite sports-related TV ad, because of the drama that is created through the spot–whether it's the freeze once he gets injured or the rhythm created from him working out.
Adidas did a great job taking the idea on-line, and turning the story of Derrick Rose's return into a series of 3-minute videos that show the behind-the-scenes look at his return effort. It's supported on twitter with #thereturn where fans continue to comment as we anticipate his return shortly.
#2 Nike "Find Your Greatness" at the Olympics
Even though, they were not a sponsor of the Olympics, Nike managed to steal the spotlight and stand out with this TV ad. While everyone else was talking about the super stars of the games, Nike reached down their roots of the average athlete. I love the kid on the diving board at the end of the spot.
#3 P&G Moms Campaign
I thought P&G did a very nice job at the Olympics, the one sponsor that seemed to jump out. (Nike was never a sponsor) There were two takes that I liked, the first was "Thank You Moms" which showed everything that moms did for their athletes. I'm sure quite a few moms were shedding a few tears over this one.
The second P&G ad spoke to the idea that "they'll always be kids" and it showed the athletes depicted as little children.
#4 Ray Lewis Visa
Ray Lewis is one of the toughest football players, and I love how they've warmed him up by having the little kid ask cute questions.
#5 National Lottery in the UK
Very warm and telling spot about sending your daughter to the Olympics. It's a nice drama and beautifully shot TV ad.

First Day of School!
Nick loves school! We meet in the classroom, then we go to the gym, then we go to the science room (I am a bit disappointed it is all biology…there is great other science stuff you can do for little kids) , then we go to the library for story time, and then we go back to the classroom and play and have snack time all in our 1.5 hour class…at least we never get board. Nick takes his read back pack and his 'suitcase' (lunchbox) to school with him, he thought he needed some money to put in his back pack…so we gave him some…really it has a blankly and a diaper and wipes and I think I will put a bib in too…and perhaps a sippy cup…we have learned our lesson about drinking fountains, I will NEVER drink out of one again.
Here we are ready for the first day of school!
|He did not really want his picture taken, he was busy playing
|We were twins…it is a 'Mommy and Me' class
|Nick and I were both excited to go

Lesson Forty Five: World Is Not The Final Purpose, Rather It Is A Means
Imam 'Ali (a.s.) said:
اَلدُّنْيا خُلِقَتْ لِغَيْرِها وَ لَمْ تُخْلَقْ لِنَفْسِها
World is created for another purpose, not for itself. 1
Brief Description
People sometimes have difficulty comprehending the nature of this world . They find one set of interpretations of verses and speeches commending the world and its material tools , introducing it as a house of commerce or farm of saints . And then they find verses and speeches blaming it and calling it dangerous, deceptive and source of conceit .
The above tradition clarifies the issue succinctly indicating that when the world and its material tools are used as a means of attaining human development and justice and prosperity for all, it is to be valued and commended. But when it is considered as an end in itself , just for immediate and inordinate fulfillment of desires, with no higher purpose, and causes rebellion, conceit and obstinacy, it becomes hateful and dangerous.

I should have hosted this site on one of my dedicated servers instead of using my Media Temple grid account. I've got a reseller account with them, so I thought why not use my credits? Bad idea!
Their shared Mysql servers are slower than maple syrup on a frosty morning, plus my support ticket has gone unanswered since I opened it early this morning. Media Temple used to be a stable and reliable hosting company.
I'm beginning to have my doubts after reading all of the other horror stories regarding database issues at Media Temple on the web. Seems this problem had been around for quite some time. Hmmm?

The Lust List: Wedgetastic
June 1, 2012 by Cori Sue
Listen up! Go buy some cream, nude or neutral colored espadrille wedges. Do so now. You're welcome.
Why? Because it's hot. Because you just got a pedicure. Because you're going to be wearing sundresses in various prints and colors all summer long and you need something to match. Because you're sick of wearing uncomfortable heels. Because your boyfriend or future-boyfriend will think you look like a babe. Because you deserve it.
Seriously, espadrilles go in-and-out of fashion every year or two, and nowadays they are back. I happen to have ten pairs in my closet (seriously) in various prints and patterns having spent the better part of the last eight years in the South, clad in a rotation of sundresses. Then, I picked up the Tory Burch pair below to trot around all summer long in comfort and height. Because that's what nude espadrilles do—they make you taller, elongate your figure, yet don't kill your feet and back after wearing them all day.
Best of all, unlike heels, you can wear espadrilles during the day without looking like an over-dressed jackass. Again, you're welcome.
You do have to be careful when ordering espadrilles so they don't look tacky—always a big no no when ordering shoes. As I always say, the easiest way to judge a woman's fashion sense is by what's on her feet.
Here's a selection of classy basic cream espadrilles at a variety of price points. Now go!
A tip from Cindy Sue, the original Bitch, buy some Scotchguard fabric spray—it costs all of three dollars. Spray your shoes before you wear them. Then, if you stain them, use Dawn dish soap and cold water to remove spots. I've done this over and over and kept my Tory wedges in perfect condition—even after a raucous day of drinking in the grass at Gold Cup.

UK awards Boeing 420 million pound contract to support Chinook helicopters
LONDON (Reuters) – The British government said on Tuesday it had awarded Boeing (BA.N) a five-year contract worth 420 million pounds ($644.91 million) to provide in-service support to its fleet of Chinook military helicopters.
"The Chinook support contract represents significant value for money for what is a very capable and versatile support helicopter, protecting UK interests at home and abroad," British Prime Minister David Cameron said in a statement.
"This will sustain 450 jobs and save the taxpayer over 150 million pounds," he said, adding that BAE Systems (BAES.L) and Magma Structures had been chosen as the preferred bidders to occupy the Portsmouth ship hall facilities in southern England.

Western Heights
[As part of the remit to make the Untold LA iPad Book available to as many people as possible I'll be posting pages from the book in sequential order on a regular basis until it is completely online.]
The iPad Book is broken up into 11 main chapters, with each chapter focusing on a different neighborhood in the West Adams District. Here we see a 'screen grab' of the Chapter Heading page for the third chapter, Western Heights.
Each Chapter Heading page contains a photo from the neighborhood, an interactive map that shows you where in West Adams the neighborhood is, links to relevant sites and a video, between 5 and 20 minutes long, where I talk about my reasons for shooting the neighborhood and give background information about the history of the homes and area.
In the screen grab above you can see a photo of Wisteria on a Western Heights cottage built in 1922; below you can watch the Chapter Video Introduction.
[Update: It looks like the link to the Western Heights Homeowners Association in the book Chapter Intro is no longer active; like 'apps' iBooks can be updated on a regular basis with no cost to the book owner - I'll fix the link the next time I update the book].

FINAL – VCU 6, Elon 2 – (Country Inn and Suites Elon Invitational – Elon, N.C.)
VCU STARTERS: Cullen (CF), Weymouth (2B), Cujas (3B), Ayers (C), Machin (SS), Buran (RF), Thomas (DH), Marino (1B), Acker (LF), Farrar (P)
ELON STARTERS: Bower, Q. (RF), Gomez (3B), Swim (C), Kinsella (1B), Tomko (LF), McVicar (DH), Leathers (2B), Alvarez (SS), Bower, B. (CF), Whitehead (P)
THE BASICS: The VCU Baseball team improved 2-0 on the young season with a 6-2 victory over host Elon on Sunday in the final game of the Country Inn and Suites Elon Invitational. The Rams were sparked by two doubles from senior Jordan Weymouth and a home run off the bat of senior Taylor Buran.
- The game remained scoreless until the top of the third inning when VCU's offense went to work. With one out, junior Trevor Marino singled into right field to start a rally. After a fly out and Marino stolen base, junior Bill Cullen was walked to put runners on first and second. With two outs, Weymouth drilled a doubled to the left-center-field gap that scored Marino and Cullen.
- VCU tacked on three more runs in the top fourth inning. Junior Chris Ayers led off the inning getting hit by a pitch and sophomore Vimael Machin followed with a single putting runners on first and second. With a 2-2 count, Buran smoked a ball over the left-center-field wall for a three-run homer and gave the Black and Gold a 5-0 lead.
- Elon (1-2) did not go away quietly. Ryan Kinsella led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a single. With two outs, the Phoenix got back-to-back singles by Tyler McVicar and Will Leathers scoring Kinsella and cutting the Rams' lead to 5-1.
- The Phoenix closed the Rams' lead to three in the bottom of the seventh inning. Leathers led off the inning with a double and moved to third on a ground out. Pinch hitter Casey Jones roped a single back through the box to drive home Leathers, making the score 5-2.
- VCU got the run right back in their half of the eighth inning. Weymouth led off the inning with his second double of the game. After recording two outs Machin came to the plate and drove a double to the wall, scoring Weymouth and giving the Rams a 6-2 lead.
- Senior Ryan Farrar pitched five innings and earned the win for VCU. The Mechanicsville, Va. native scattered four hits and allowed one run, while striking out four. The Rams' bullpen, junior Tyler Buckley and sophomore Matt Lees, combined for four innings, a run and three hits, with four strikeouts.
- VCU improved to 2-0 for the first time since the 2010 season. The Rams advanced to the NCAA Regionals the same year.
- In two appearances, Lees has retired 15 of the 16 batters he's faced. The Richmond, Va. native has thrown five innings, with five strikeouts.
- Buran hit VCU's first home run of the season. It was Buran's sixth home run of his career.
- Weymouth and Machin each recorded two hits on the day for VCU.
"I thought it was a great win and a great weekend for us. Obviously, Elon has a great program and are a fabulous team, and will win a number of games this year. For us to come out the way we did in pretty tough conditions was tremendous."
-Head Coach Shawn Stiffler on the win
"Ryan Farrar was fabulous. Tyler Buckley and Matt Lees, again, were great out of the bullpen. On the weekend, we played 18 innings and did not commit an error. We also pitched 18 innings and only walked three guys. Anytime you do that you have a chance to win a lot of games."
-Stiffler on the Rams' pitching and defense
"I thought we competed pretty hard in all of our at bats this weekend. I don't know if we swung it as well as we can, but we did a great job with two outs and with runners in scoring position of driving in runs and that's what is all about."
-Stiffler on the Rams' offense over the weekend
"I am looking forward to a tough series with Saint Joseph's next weekend. They are a really good team, and they went down to Stetson and played them tough this weekend. They are going to be a great test for us. I am looking forward to getting back to The Diamond and getting back after it."
-Stiffler on the road ahead
VCU returns to The Diamond for its home opener, in a non-conference matchup, versus Saint Joseph's. The first game of the series is Friday, Feb. 22, with first pitch set for 3 p.m.

books, bullying, Criminal Minds, Mothers, parents, schools, television
Today's post is inspired by a comment made on my previous post when I talked about bullying as portrayed on television. David Prosser, I hope he doesn't mind me naming him here, pointed out that parents teach their children how not to be victims of bullying but not how not to be bullies. David's words of wisdom were spot on! Plus, it gave me food for thought about parents and bullying.
Absolutely true that parents teach their children not to be victims but not how not to be bullies. However, from my experiences, some of which I highlight in my book, "He Was Weird," parents seem to like the fact that their children are bullies. They seem to wear this fact as some sort of sick badge of honour. Some even go as far to think that their offspring being bullies is a good reflection of their parenting skills. Their justification is that they have taught their children how to stand up for themselves, wrong!
There is a major difference in standing up for oneself and being a bully. The two certainly don't go hand in hand. Some of the best people I know who know how to handle themselves can do so without being a bully and more importantly, using their words instead of their fists. This is what parents should be teaching their children, not teaching or encouraging them to be bullies.
I have seen many instances when the parents of bullying victims have tried to address a bullying issue with the parents of the bully and the bully's parents either dismissive or even patronizing over it. One famous response a bully's parents has used is "You should teach your child how to fist fight." So does mean if the victim, next time they're bullied, picks up a baseball bat or even a gun and seriously harms or kills their bully, the bully's parents will think that's all right? I don't think so. What needs to happen is for the bully's parents to take a stand in encouraging their child in not being a bully. Linking it to that "Criminal Minds" episode, I believe that those murdered parents and the murdered teen would still be alive if the parents had taken a pro-active stance in teaching their child it is wrong to be a bully.
I have experienced this. In one of my worst instances of being bullied, my mother had the parents of both tormentors into school. One of the parents was reasonable about it but the other, a successful lawyer, was very dismissive about the entire affair. As far as he was concerned, his son could do no wrong and I was to blame for what happened to me. Yep, that bully's parents also used the age old tactic of blaming the victim. What is needed here is more education, both to adults and children. It needs to be drummed home that all bullying is wrong and it's not a status symbol if your child is a bully.

I've been asked this question many times before and I always answer the same way. Lights has never really publicly talked about her religion and what exactly she believes in.

Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Dancing Bear Ranch 2006
Winemaker's Notes:
Wine Tasting Notes Showcasing the interplay of intensity and elegance that is Dancing Bear's trademark, this edition of our Howell Mountain red entices with perfumed aromas of ripe black fruits, forest-floor spice, and rich fig and chocolate tones. On the beautifully structured palate, the wine delivers intensely concentrated blackberry, blackcurrant, wild cherry and ripe fig flavors balanced by firm acidity and round, silky tannins. Built for aging and with a deep core of fruit that unfolds in a lengthy, spice-and-mineral tinged finish, this dramatic mountain red makes compelling drinking now, yet its tight-knit structure argues for another 7-10 years of bottle age.
Cakebread Cellars is located in the heart of the Napa Valley on Highway 29 between Oakville and Rutherford. Family owned and operated for 36 years, we pride ourselves on making full flavored, balanced and elegant wines.

Winemakers Notes:Showcasing the interplay of intensity and elegance that is Dancing Bear's trademark, the 2006 edition of our Howell Mountain red entices with perfumed aromas of ripe black fruits, fo
The dense purple-colored 2007 Dancing Bear Ranch Proprietary Red (80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc) reveals more chocolate fudge and coffee notes. It does not have the nuances or complexity of the Benchland Select or the sheer joy of the Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, but there is a lot going on in this cuvée. Slightly monolithic, it is well-endowed, rich and full, so my rating may be slightly conservative.
This is a very rich wine. Complex, too. With every sip, it seems to offer a little more of itself. On the surface, itandrsquo;s dry, tannic and fruity, with blackberry, black currant, dark chocolate and cedar flavors. But it has mineral and herb nuances that seem to spring from the soil, and the depth and finish are impressive. Drink now for sheer luxury, and should continue to develop over the next decade.
The outstanding 2006 Dancing Bear Ranch Proprietary Red (79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc) is a medium-bodied, elegant Cabernet-based wine with a dense purple color as well as a sweet bouquet of loamy soil, crushed rock, black currant, plum, licorice, and a hint of subtle, well-integrated new oak. Approachable now, this 2006 promises to evolve for 12andndash;15+ years.
Cakebread Cellars Dancing Bear 2006 incorporates two distinctive clonal selections of Cabernet Sauvignon: Clone 4 and Clone 7. These clones, and the terroir of our Howell Mountain estate vineyard, produce Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with deep color, bright acidity and more tannin than our valley-grown fruit. As a result, we strive to capture Dancing Bears intense fruit character without extracting overly aggressive tannins. During fermentation and maceration, winemaker Julianne Laks carefully monitors the cap of skins at the top of the fermenting tank, whose contact with the juice determines the degree of tannin extraction. When she believes the wine has achieved an optimal balance of fruit intensity and ripe tannins, the free run wine is drained from the skins and transferred to French oak barrels for aging. The 2005 Dancing Bear was aged 21 months in French oak barrels, 40% new, prior to bottling in July, 2007.
Intense and tight, firm and concentrated, offering a mix of dried currant, loamy earth, herb, sage and mineral. Full-bodied, with a long, persistent finish. Needs time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2012 through 2023.

Baby grand piano $40 – I can help load into truck
San Diego Reader Classified ads, November 20, 2019
3 p.m., Nov. 20
The start of this loop is along a portion of the 2650-mile long Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) with views of Lake Morena and the Laguna Mountains. Lake Morena is owned by the City of San Diego and is the highest and most remote of the city's reservoirs. It is the fourth oldest and the third largest reservoir in San Diego's water-storage system and was constructed between 1897 and 1912. Presently the lake is less than 5 percent of capacity due to continuing drought conditions and the transferring of water to other storage reservoirs in order to reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation.
The six-mile walk begins from the back of the PCT parking lot just outside of the Lake Morena County Park. Parking is available on either side of the lot, but note there is a $3 fee required for the northwest portion. A gently climbing trail leads through dense mixed chaparral. A variety of wildflowers may be seen on either side of the trail, including woolly blue curls and the rare southern jewel plant. Also, note the stands of redshank with its ribbonlike peeling bark, some growing next to the other species of chamise (Adenostoma). Stop at any of several overlooks for vistas of the lake and surrounding area. Ask any backpackers encountered their origin and destination. Depending on the season, they may be either starting or finishing the PCT trail that runs from Mexico to Canada.
The first half of the hike is on the PCT where the trail signs are easy to follow. At 1.8 miles, crest a low rise and start a gradual descent. At about 2.7 miles, the trail will leave the PCT. Be on the lookout for a somewhat obscure trail (old roadbed) going uphill on the right (N32 40.099' W116 32.016). If you get to the Morena Butte trail, you have gone too far and will need to retrace your steps about 0.2 mile. After a moderate climb of 0.5 mile and gaining 100 feet, there will be a dirt road that will lead northwest though Ward's Flats meadow, a beautiful area underneath the massive granitic presence of Morena Butte and dotted with live oaks and Coulter pines. In season, the valley floor may be carpeted in wildflowers. Note feral pig rooting damage in the meadow, which also exists further west into Hauser Canyon.
Here also may be the remains of Charles Hatfield's rainmaking tower that may have been responsible for the 35-plus inches of rain that fell in January 1916, causing widespread destruction and over 15 deaths in San Diego County. Stop on the steps of the ruins of an old hunting lodge for lunch before returning to the starting point by way of the Morena Reservoir's shoreline road, keeping the lake on your left for 2 miles.
A Pacific Crest Bicycle Trail closely parallels the PCT on roads. An out-of-print book by Bil Paul has a map on the back cover showing the alignment between the two trails.

NCAA Tournament
Milestone belongs to Cats past and present
The journey began Feb. 18, 1903.
Win No. 1 for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball program came by one, 11-10, over the always formidable Lexington YMCA.
On Monday night, the fascinating journey that is Kentucky basketball reached 2,000 wins first — before any other college hoops program — with an 88-44 obliteration of Drexel.
"This is for the greatest fans in the history of college basketball," UK Coach John Calipari said.
What a trek UK2K has been.
Win No. 108 (1921) came when Bill King's free throw with no time left gave Kentucky its first major tournament championship, 20-19, over Georgia in the finals of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament.
Win No. 489 (1946) occurred when a freshman from Louisville walked to the foul line in Madison Square Garden with his hands shaking from nerves and UK's first national tournament title hanging in the balance. Ralph Beard's foul shot beat Rhode Island, 46-45, and made Kentucky champions of the NIT.
Wins No. 557 (1948), 591 (1949), 648 (1951), 791 (1958), 1,216 (1978), 1,650 (1996) and 1,720 (1998) will always have resonance through the ages — each having made Kentucky an NCAA champion.
A series of coaching luminaries are most responsible for UK reaching 2,000 first.
Joe B. Hall completed the full racial integration of UK basketball and contributed 297 wins. Rick Pitino took Kentucky from one of its bleakest periods and returned it to national prominence while adding 219 victories.
Tubby Smith represented the commonwealth for a decade with unquestioned class, his mere presence as an African-American head coach a statement of the state's (and the South's) social progress. He delivered 263 wins.
Calipari, the first-year UK coach, says it was on his second day on the job when he began plotting. The goal: Get Kentucky to the 12 wins it needed to reach 2,000 before North Carolina could get to the 16 it required.
In his 12th game as top Cat, Cal delivered with maximum efficiency.
And, of course, there was Adolph Rupp. All the irascible Baron did for the cause of UK2K was produce 876 of the wins.
"A lot of the credit goes not only to the victories that Coach Rupp achieved but the foundation he laid for Kentucky basketball," says his successor, Joe B. Hall. "He made it easier for me ... and the coaches that followed me all benefitted from the aura that surrounds Kentucky basketball. Coach Rupp built that."
The journey to 2K has featured moments around which generations of Kentuckians have spaced their lives.
Win No. 771 (1957) came when a Kentucky guard, Vernon Hatton, hit a halfcourt shot as overtime expired to force Temple into a second OT. UK went on to win in three overtimes and, to this day, Hatton's heave might be the most famous shot in Kentucky history.
Win No. 1,039 (1970) was memorable in a far more significant way. When Kentucky beat Northwestern, its starting center was Tom Payne — the first African-American ever to wear the Kentucky basketball uniform.
It takes players to win games, of course, and the road to 2,000 was paved by 47 Wildcats who earned All-America honors, from Basil Hayden in 1921 to Jodie Meeks in 2009.
Yet UK2K is not just about the great players who have worn Wildcats blue.
"From 1903, every player who ever played for Kentucky has a part in this," says ex-UK guard and second-generation Wildcat Cameron Mills. "This is about the players winning the games 11-10 in the 1920s. It's about the Fabulous Five and all the great players in the 1940s and '50s. It's about my dad (Terry) and the teams in the 1960s. It's about my era (the late 1990s), and it's about the guys now. That's what makes this so cool. It's everybody's."
Amid all the winning, the road to 2,000 has featured heartbreak. The Runts fell short. In a national title-game duel of dynasties, the 1975 Cats couldn't beat UCLA. That dag-blasted Laettner hit that shot.
There's been heartache, too. Point-shaving. A year of NCAA suspension. Allegations of $50 handshakes. That infamous Emery Air Freight package.
Still, in so many ways, Kentucky basketball and its trek to 2,000 wins have been the glue that (for most) has united our often-splintered state.
"The fans are the ones I've heard talking about this," Kentucky forward Darius Miller says of UK2K. "They're the ones who told me about it, really. (Two-thousand wins) means a lot to them."
So what a thrill ride UK2K has been.
In Win No. 1,139 (1975), Kentucky defeated an unbeaten Indiana with a Final Four berth at stake. Win No. 1,580 (1994) saw the Wildcats victorious in a game in which they trailed by 31 points — in the second half.
Win No. 1,979 (2009) featured a Kentucky player, Meeks, scoring more points (54) in one game than a UK Wildcat ever had.
And Win No. 2000 (2009) started with fabulous freshmen DeMarcus Cousins (18 points, 13 rebounds) and John Wall (16 points, seven assists) producing wows throughout Rupp Arena.
It ended with a blizzard of blue and white confetti and Adolph Rupp Jr. — Herky — taking the microphone in the arena named for his dad
"My father would be so proud," Rupp said.
UK2K being a milestone and not a finish line, Kentucky goes for Win No. 2,001 Wednesday against Long Beach State.
North Carolina and Kansas be warned: The race to 3,000 is on.

GBE2 ~ Week 47 ~ Home
I took that pic yesterday morning before I slept and wrote this whatever it is...for those who know me will know at times I want to go Home. But really at those times I am just grieving the fact I don't bring home to my human body. Long times of being in various states of unwellbeing get to me at times and the tragedy of my story, the things i can and can't talk about cause me to feel pain, through my fear of further discomfort through loss of what I want to feel happy with life. Not always frivolous things, sometimes essential like ability to process oxygen through the breathing process, sometimes I would fail exams on that one.
I see home as a place we dwell that feels safe and comfortable, no matter what it looks like tatty or chic or lavish, a place we can forget the discomfort of being alive brings. I also see home as the place we go when we leave the flesh behind when we have done all we are here to do. When the place I am dwelling feels most home I feel less wanting to go to the other home. The ideal is making/creating/experiencing comfort where we dwell the body in which our spirit resides and the place where that body resides and where it visits, where ever here is now.
I was just going to write a quick poem but that didn't flow...it is 06.52 as i write this and after a lot of expressing stuff on facebook I may be all out of stuff to say now...
is where the love is
last night the moon hid behind the clouds
I wanted to bask in its silvery light
feel the energy of the moon
leave it to cleanse my soul
a job I can do myself
I knew it was there
I just couldn't see it, feel it
veiled impenetrable
beyond my eyesight
fooling my reality into
seeing being believing
Knowing is feeling
feeling is knowing
the love of home
no matter if you can see it with your eyes
I understood for a moment
how thick the veil can be
and matter not a jot
how thin as well
yet nothing can get through
Home is where the heart is
the soul, the joy, the love.
Home is here and there
Home is every where
Home is in me
Home is in you
it may even be on the moon
when hidden behind the veil
or where moon beams shine on me
on my sunny side under the tree....
Dunno maybe should have left it! But I enjoyed it anyway...I'll maybe cringe when I look back...

Love the poem!ReplyDelete
Fabulous poem. Home is where your particular puzzle piece fits in just right.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you...yes...we can be at home where ever we are...Delete
The first step to feeling at home is to realize you always carry it inside you.ReplyDelete
All of the words cascade from a deeper place inside of you. Treasures they are, every one.ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you...more has been pouring out...too much to share but it is a great way to work through deeper pain as well...smilesDelete
I loved the poem - yes, I do believe that home is a place inside you and until you're at home with 'you' you're unhappy everywhere else!ReplyDeleteReplies
yes...and I don't want to run away from it as often as I used to...it took me even greater traumas to get over the minor wounds that were there before life really got started...smiles...thank you <3Delete

I've known you for a long time, Elaine, and have seen you work through so much pain and loss. I know that you struggle and I hope the day comes when you find the peace you so deserve. You are a person with a such kind and gentle soul, and I would love nothing more than to see you comfortable, happy, and very much at home. ♥ReplyDeleteReplies
Bethy for starters how do you get the heart to work on this format or whatever...lolDelete
I feel a bit coming home answering this. Myspace GBE expressing and some of the wonderful people I met there, got me through some very painful times, like I said above the minor wounds stacked up and many more were inflicted. I suspect you are very busy reading and so my fb updates being as long as they get will not all be seen...but I really feel i am at a place where my comfort is more often in evidence...I write a poem before I had my first visit with a counsellor who I knew would be small young pretty and blonde when I spoke to her on the phone and I knew I could blurt to her anything I needed to say, especially when I met her at the door with Joey barking and making a quiet introduction impossible!
Anticipation hangs heavy
the curious feeling
Steadiness while falling
Into the void
the rabbit hole
Falling into the dark abyss
to bring light to the
situation of life
The Lady of Situations
Shaking in her calm...
18.18 Tuesday 10th April 2012
I wonder would that make a good beginning? I'm nearly ready to spill my book that has been marinading for so long. Sometimes the harder won peace is the better we guard it and live a way that doesn't hold pain and resentment. My life seems to have been a journey to find peace and I do find it deeply so often. I think added strife after this point will never harm me even if it hurts me as much as previous strife has...maybe...or i may just flip the halo and get all ridiculously human and dramatic again from time to time...grins and hugs...thank you for your love and know I love you too, soul to soul...softer smiles!
- Anonymous10 April 2012 at 16:32
I think that's a beautiful beginning.Delete
And just so you know, I love all the sides of you--the halo-wearing one and the one where the little horns peek out. Your willingness to simply be who you are is quite admirable.
Write it! Let it pour onto the pages and see what happens. ♥
great poem on home-so love the butterfly and poem on the chalk board tooReplyDelete
I love poetry and enjoyed your poem - I felt it. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

The study provides novel evidence that resveratrol treatment in late middle age can help improve memory and mood function in old age.
Alzheimer's Reading Room
A compound found in common foods such as red grapes and peanuts may help prevent age-related decline in memory, according to new research published by a faculty member in the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.
In recent years, resveratrol gained attention because of clinical trials like this one - Undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes Highly Prevalent in Early Alzheimer's Disease. The study examined resveratrol, a compound found in red grapes and red wine, to see if it might change glucose levels in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Compound Found In Grapes, Red Wine May Help Prevent Memory Loss
- Ashok K. Shetty, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine and Director of Neurosciences at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, has been studying the potential benefit of resveratrol, an antioxidant that is found in the skin of red grapes, as well as in red wine, peanuts and some berries.
- Resveratrol has been widely touted for its potential to prevent heart disease, but Shetty and a team that includes other researchers from the health science center believe it also has positive effects on the hippocampus, an area of the brain that is critical to functions such as memory, learning and mood.
- Because both humans and animals show a decline in cognitive capacity after middle age, the findings may have implications for treating memory loss in the elderly. Resveratrol may even be able to help people afflicted with severe neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
"The results of the study were striking," Shetty said. "They indicated that for the control rats who did not receive resveratrol, spatial learning ability was largely maintained but ability to make new spatial memories significantly declined between 22 and 25 months. By contrast, both spatial learning and memory improved in the resveratrol-treated rats."Shetty said neurogenesis (the growth and development of neurons) approximately doubled in the rats given resveratrol compared to the control rats. The resveratrol-treated rats also had significantly improved microvasculature, indicating improved blood flow, and had a lower level of chronic inflammation in the hippocampus.
"The study provides novel evidence that resveratrol treatment in late middle age can help improve memory and mood function in old age," Shetty said.Additional Sources

This study was funded primarily by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health. Shetty's lab is now examining the molecular mechanisms that underlie the improved cognitive function following resveratrol treatment. He also plans to conduct studies to see whether lower doses of resveratrol in the diet for prolonged periods would offer similar benefits to the aged brain.

DESTINATION Freedom was a politically driven half-hour radio drama that gave a voice to African Americans. The blacks were portrayed on TV and radio as one dimensional dullards, slackers, idiots, criminals and simpletons with no history. This radio series would show America's tens of millions of black people the blacks they recognised. Storytelling would do more than any number of lectures to show the real face of America's underclass.
Destination Freedom began in 1948, and ran for two years. African American dramatist Richard Durham wrote all 91 episodes. His characters were rounded. They were "rebellious, biting, scornful, angry, and cocky, as the occasion calls for".

The Heart Of George Cotton (The story of Doctor Ulysses Grant Dailey)

We are officially walking everywhere we go! (Unless we are pathetically tired and then we just sit on the floor and cry and point at stuff.) We still lose our balance sometimes and usually walk with our hands up in the air, but we make for good entertainment as we simulataneously wander the kitchen in loops and circles like zombies… ZOMBABIES!
Charlee's piggie snortsies have graduated into piggie kisses and Andie does them too! What is a piggie kiss? It's a snortsie with contact. Occasionally, I get get Charlee to kiss me on the cheek or tell her to kiss her sister and she'll at least make an effort to bob her face on Andie, but I can't get Andie to kiss anything on demand. She is only a spontaneously piggie kisser, usually into her blanket. I've been trying to teach the girls about hugging. Both girls can blow kisses and they will do it if you ask. If you are leaving our house, we try to get them to wave bye and blow kisses.
This month, Momma had ankle surgery and spent a lot of time in bed. The girls would make visits and play peek-a-boo around the corner. They thought this was hilarious. Charlee even got the point of trying to do peek-a-boo without hiding behind anything, she would just sort of quickly lean to one side and let out a smile as if there was a wall there.
The girls are OBSESSED with technology. They love to play with cell phones. They frequently call Momma on her way home. They don't say much and Charlee still waves for hello and bye bye since she doesn't understand that I can't see her through the phone. Andie likes repeatedly pressing the main menu button on my phone since it will start beeping and open voice commands. When she gets the phone of Andy, my mom or sister, she attempts to hit the same button, but the phones are different and she gets frustrated that she doens't get the same result. We have also been occupying the girls on the phones and computers by googling pictures of kittens, dogs, laughing babies, etc. Andie likes gray stripey cats the best and Charlee likes light colored dogs. If they see us on the lap top or with our phone, they will sit themselves in our laps and demand for us to do something. "Charlee, what do you want to look at?" She replies "Dogggssss"
The girls are OBSESSED with the movies Frozen and The Sound of Music; however over the course of the month, they have dictated that they prefer the songs and no plot. They frequently bring the remote (okay throw the remote) to us so that we hit the skip button in order to get it to the next song. Sometimes they dance or bop along and recently we've heard what sounds like singing.
We don't have many new words this month, but that is okay since energy for learning has gone to walking. Andie now says "bath." "Andie, do you want a bath?" She lights up and says, "BATH, BATH, BATH!" The TH sound isn't perfect yet, more of a T then an H, but she is close. Charlee still forms her mouth into saying "bath" but doens't actually say the word, more of a "Ba, ba, ba" She has been doing this "practice" for a while.
Andie is still wearing 12m to 18m clothing, while Charlee is 18m to 24m/2T. Andie is still in Size 3 diapers and Charlee is in Size 4, but I think both girls will be upsized soon. Andie's hair is getting long and it is usually messy, but it isn't long enough for a ponytail yet. Charlee's hair has gotten REALLY curly so she doens't have the messy look that Andie has. Andie seems to tan really easily like her father and Charlee seems to have Momma's skin. Charlee has 5 or 6 freckles and Andie only has 1. The girls are so different in everything that they do. Andie is a mini Momma and Charlee is a mini Dad. Andie is mostly likely to sleep on her stomach and tightly pulled together, while Charlee sleeps on her side or back all sprawled out. We've started brushing our teeth regularly and the girls LOVE it… I guess that is a good thing.

Look. I don't cry at movies. Never have. Not even "Up." "Forrest Gump" and "St. Elmo's Fire" almost got me. But I'm pretty sure "Inside Out" is going to turn on the waterworks.
It seems like it's been a long time since the last Pixar movie hit theaters ("Monsters University" in 2013, which was decent). It's certainly been a long time (for Pixar) since the last GREAT Pixar movie — I would say "Toy Story 3," way back in 2010, was the last time it felt like Pixar was operating at full strength.(Because "Brave" was not good. That's right. I said it.)
»Related: Is Toy Story 4 a good idea? I don't think so, but I'll watch it anyway
But "Inside Out," if this trailer is anything to show for it, could be a return to form. Little alien figures that represent people's emotions seem to be the star of the show, and viewers get to watch Riley's responses to what's going on in her head after moving to a new city.
Oh, and the cast. Amy Poehler. Bill Hader. Mindy Kaling. Lewis Black!
Yeah, this is going to be a good one. I'd put money on it.
Have I mentioned how ridiculously cute this looks?
