You know what I'm thinking about? I'm thinking I just want to be a good mom. A happy mom. A mom whose kids behave well and are happy, healthy and successful. I'm thinking about all the times in the last week where I lost my cool, barked out orders, and (in my mind) ruined an entire road trip and holiday for our kids.
Now, I know I didn't completely ruin Christmas or any other day for that matter, but surely I'm not the only mom who FEELS that way after getting frustrated with toddler throwing a temper tantrum or a teenager rolling her eyes at you! Can I get an amen?
In the same way that I'm tired of my pants not fitting right and I'm ready to embrace The South Beach Diet, I'm ready for a change in my parenting and discipline. There has to be a better way. I'm tired of feeling like the more I try to get my kids to do what they're supposed to do, the more they rebel. And the more they rebel, the harsher I become and the worse I feel for hurting their feelings and causing them to feel bad about themselves. Bottom line is this: when it comes to the harder issues, what I'm doing isn't working and no one is happy about it.
For the most part, our home is a happy one. Our kids aren't "bad" kids. They are happy children, get along well with each other and other children, and are successful in school and extracurricular activities. I don't think we're at the level that we need to call Supernanny, but there is definitely room for improvement. As the children grow, I know we will encounter more and more challenging issues (am I the only one who's terrified of adolescence?!), and I believe now is the time to get a handle on things so we're prepared.
So, I've picked up my copy of Parenting with Love and Logic. I had all but forgotten about it until I was looking for another book on my shelf and ran across it. My bookmark was on page 60. Apparently I never finished the journey! I went ahead and started from the beginning and let me tell you, this book is hitting all my hot buttons.
This book outlines several parenting styles which are ineffective, highlighting a lot of the things I find myself doing. I boss, I remind, I nag, I threaten, and say things like, "how many times do I have to tell you [fill in the blank]?" All of which are not helpful, for a variety of reasons.
I haven't yet finished the book, but there are a couple of things that really stand out to me. Parents who practice the Love and Logic techniques do not feel the need to control their children, rather, they allow the natural consequences of their child's actions to test the quality of those actions. They set firm and appropriate boundaries, and give children choices which prevent them from "breaking the rules" while also giving them opportunities to be naturally rewarded or challenged through those decisions.
Once I got into Chapter 4, it really started hitting close to home.
"Unfortunately, separating the kids' problems from our problems is not always as cut and dry as we would like. The line between the two often becomes blurred by parental indecision, guilt, insecurity, and our own childhood's authoritarianism. When our guilt or indecision moves us to step into our children's problems, we cater more to our own emotions than to the children's needs. Most kids want us to understand their feelings, not soothe our own emotional turmoil by offering them solutions." (p 61)Apparently, when I force my kids to do things MY way (because it's the right way, and more importantly because I said so), I'm doing more for my own "need" to be a good parent than I am for the character of my children. Youch!
The title of Chapter 6 is "Gaining Control Through Choices." I never realized how many control issues I had when it comes to my kiddos!
"We don't feel like good parents unless we can run our kids around like little robots. It all boils down to control. We want to control our children. We want them to do what we want them to do, when we want them to do it. At times, our kids fight us with a passion. Before we know it, we're locked into a control struggle." (p 79)Sound familiar? It does to me. I'm learning that the way I speak to my children has an enormous effect on not only their behavior but their self image. At the end of the day, what's more important? On one hand, your child makes a poor choice, but deals with the consequences and feels empowered and competent enough to make a better decision next time. On the other hand, you have a child who feels put down and demeaned by your bossing and nagging, but does what you say because you've made him feel so badly about himself.
I think I prefer the former, and I'm learning a lot about perspective. How freeing is it to realize that when my child misbehaves it doesn't mean I'm a bad parent? That's huge! All it means is that my KID made a bad choice, and HE is the one who is going to have to deal with it. The more we put that power in the hands of children, the stronger and more competent we allow them to become.
In essence, relinquishing control means more than regaining sanity. It means teaching kids to be responsible for their own actions.
I have quite a bit to read yet, but so far so good! Don't worry, I'll keep you posted and I'll issue a full book report when it's all said and done. For now, here's to responsible kids and NOT feeling like a bad mom!
Love and Honey,

METRO VANCOUVER - Wikipedia editors, stung by the fact critical historical information had been systematically edited out the online biography of B.C. New Democratic Party leader Adrian Dix, restored the information and appeared to be guarding against it being removed again.
On Wednesday morning after The Vancouver Sun reported that a group of people had been actively cleansing Dix's biography around his falsification of an executive memo while working for former premier Glen Clark, Wikipedia editors removed a block on changes to the page and restored critical details. As of mid-afternoon it was still in place.
Meanwhile, the editor who has been most active in removing critical sections of Dix's biography has been identified as a B.C.-based actor and hobbyist historian whose constant edits of political pages have drawn complaints of bias.
Mike Cleven of New Westminster acknowledged in a comment posted to The Vancouver Sun's story about Dix's online biography that he has been removing information about Dix's memo-writing affair.
But Cleven, who goes by the user name Skookum1, said he took the action because of what he sees as a concerted effort by B.C. Liberal supporters to skew the incident into a campaign issue for the May 14 election.
"I am the editor who's spent the most energy on keeping the people pushing an inflammatory and undue-weight account of this." he said. " ... Whitewashing the article to prevent mention of this is not the aim here, it is to prevent articles being used for defamatory purposes ... the BC Liberals have pulled this kind of crap on Wikipedia before; they can say it's not them, sure uh-huh, but the agenda of those claiming NOT to be them is too much like theirs to be worth explaining further."
Both the NDP and the Liberals say they are not behind the Wikipedia wars.
In a Facebook note posted Wednesday, Cleven categorically insisted he his not aligned with the NDP. But he said he
" was a founding member of the Green party (not a member now) and on the Van Ctr board of the National Party."
"My own view of this memo business is it's completely overblown relative to what the (BC Liberals have) done with billions of dollars of public assets and outsourcing Crown agencies and services to American companies," he said. "If the memo is all the Libs have to attack Dix with it's pretty pathetic. And all to do with Casinogate. Did your paper cover the other side of that — that there was a Liberal-affiliated competing casino licence? No it did not."
The Liberals are making Dix's memo-writing incident an issue of trust in the campaign. Dix, on the other hand refuses to engage in negative personal attacks and said on Tuesday he wishes for a higher discourse of opinion from the parties and public alike.
Cleven is an extraordinarily prolific contributor to Wikipedia, having made more than 71,000 edits since he became a member in 2005. He is one of Wikipedia's 400 most active editors. Much of his work involves correcting and adding to BC Place names.
But Cleven also has a history of making changes to biographies — principally those of living politicians — that has brought charges that he's politically biased. He has acknowledged in several posts that he has a conflict of interest when it comes to editing some pages because of criticism he has levelled on other websites and in blogs.
In the last four days Cleven was responsible for removing references to Dix's memo-writing controversy five of the 10 times it was posted on Wikipedia by other users.
He also has edited references on Premier Christy Clark and former premier Gordon Campbell (in one case changing Campbell's job as a real estate developer to "real estate lobbyist". He is actively involved in shaping how information is relayed about the BC Rail scandal that plagued Campbell's government, and believes that mainstream reporting of the casino scandal that led to the fall of Glen Clark's NDP government is biased and shouldn't be used in any Wikipedia article about it.
A number of users have complained about Cleven to Wikipedia's conflict of interest board, and have criticized him in posts on the site. The user whose Dix notations Cleven repeatedly removed tried but failed to have him banned by Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is governed by a strong set of guidelines that dictate articles — particularly those involving living people or controversial subjects — must be written from a "neutral point of view."
In a posting on the website alternatehistory.com a decade ago, Cleven illustrated his views about the NDP and his disdain for the B.C. Liberals which had just been elected. He called them "the Carpetbagger Party" and wondered about an alternate history if the NDP had not squandered their time in government.
"As maple leafers know, the 10+ year tango with socialism in BC has come to a crashing end, and the "Liberal" party (a re-hashed Social Credit-cum-Alliance mishmash flying a flag of convenience, having stolen it from the original left-centre bunch that first replaced the defunct Socreds when they collapsed back in the '80s) is now in charge, for better or for worse — probably for worse, and no doubt for a series of scandalously broken promises and inevitable dagger-in-the-backing within their own ranks."

This week the challenge over at Stampin' Royalty is called
This means, no embellishments. You can use punches and the big shot, but no embellishments.
I cased this card from Sandy MacIver. I loved the simplicity of her colour choices. Of course I needed to switch out the ribbon for something made from paper. So I used some DSP from the Attic Boutique suite and coordinating card stock. I ran the Riding Hood Red card stock through the Dotted Scallop Trim Border punch and then pleated it for more dimension. Can you believe I made this card without my Stamp-ama-jig?? I had a really steady hand today.

Research & Analysis by John A. Turner
Inflation and the Accumulation of Assets in Private Pension Funds
This paper examines the effect of inflation on private pension saving. The role that private pensions can or should play in providing income in old age in the current inflationary environment is an important policy issue. A number of studies have discussed the effect of inflation on pensions. This study extends the existing analysis and presents the first empirical estimates. Inflation is seen to have a large negative effect on this aspect of retirement saving by workers.
Life-Cycle Welfare Costs of Social Security
One-period models predict that a substantial welfare gain would result from removing the Social Security earnings test. In this paper we show that such models overestimate the size of potential gains.
If one uses instead a two-period model, which captures intertemporal effects, the net result of removing the earnings test is ambiguous. In the presence of a personal income tax, workers who reduce their labor supply in the first period create a welfare loss that must also be considered. We use a present-value model to estimate the change in lifetime welfare. We find that the net potential gain from removing the earnings test is probably small, especially when compared with the alternative of an increased personal income tax.

(CNN) -- Republican Rep. Todd Akin isn't budging. Despite calls from his party establishment to drop out -- including a personal phone call from vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan -- Akin said Wednesday, August 22nd he is staying in the U.S. Senate race.
"The people of Missouri chose me to be their candidate. And I don't believe it's right for party bosses to decide to override those voters," he said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Ryan "did give me a call, and he felt that I had to make a decision, but he advised me that it would be good for me to step down," Akin said on NBC's "Today Show."
He said he told Ryan "that I was going to be looking at this very seriously, trying to weigh all the different points on this," adding, "it's not about me -- it's about standing on principle."
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney also has called for Akin to step aside.
But Akin let a Tuesday deadline to do so easily go by.
On Twitter, he asked supporters, "Will you chip-in $5 to help me fight the party bosses?" And he linked to an image showing a red Missouri and the words, "Let the people decide not party bosses."
Akin operates in "an insular environment," with his wife and son serving as his top advisers, a senior Republican source told CNN. Republican leaders have concluded that Akin "lives in a parallel universe," the source added.
Akin is facing Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill. Republican leadership had hoped to pick up the seat in November, but the fury over his remarks on rape and pregnancy, which came during an interview Sunday, has thrown that effort into jeopardy.
The GOP was counting on winning Missouri in hopes of gaining the majority in the Senate, Republican officials say.
Now, Republican leadership has vowed not to spend money on his candidacy, as have outside groups supporting Republicans.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee had $5 million reserved for the Missouri race and told Akin it will pull the funds if he stays in, a committee source told CNN.
"We saw this as an eminently winnable Senate race," said Steve Law, head of American Crossroads, the super PAC backed by Republican operative Karl Rove. "There were great issues to talk about. We were talking about Obamacare, and taxes, and debt and the economy. But this firestorm that Todd Akin has created for himself has engulfed not only him but, we think, any chance whatsoever of being able to salvage this race as long as he's in this race."
McCaskill has rejected Akin's controversial comments and highlighted them on her campaign website. "Her worst nightmare is him dropping out," Law said, because with Akin as her opponent, "she can win."
Although Akin blamed "the liberal elite" and "the liberal media" for his troubles in a slew of tweets, he acknowledged Wednesday that it's his own party -- including prominent conservative media figures such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh -- calling for him to drop out.
His insistence on keeping his candidacy came on the third day of a national -- and even international -- uproar, which shows no sign of dying down. While he has apologized for his incendiary and inaccurate comments, many question how a major-party Senate candidate, who serves on the House science committee, could say such things to begin with.
Speaking to Missouri television station KTVI on Sunday, Akin explained his opposition to abortion being legal in the case of rape. "From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare," he said of rape-induced pregnancy. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
He has since repeatedly said that there is no such thing as "legitimate rape" and that his medical information was wrong.
Asked Wednesday by NBC whether he is "almost alone" now, Akin said, "I don't believe that's true."
"Anybody who's doing a lot of public speaking can make a mistake," he added. "You say you're sorry. You put the politics aside and you do what's the right thing."
"At the same time, I don't apologize for the fact that I'm consistently pro-life," he said on ABC. "I believe in defending the unborn. And I believe, based on those kinds of principles, we can win this race."
Asked whether he may still bow out before another deadline in late September, Akin said he doesn't "know the future."
Under Missouri law, he could withdraw by September 25, but would need a court order and would have to cover any costs for ballots that had already been printed. The state Republican committee would then choose a replacement candidate.
Akin said Wednesday he is honoring his party's wishes in one key way.
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, does not want him to attend next week's Republican convention. Akin said he won't attend. "I honor their particular wishes," he told ABC.
Akin is a devout evangelical Christian who believes God has called on him to run, Republican sources say.
Throughout his career, he has lacked the support of the party establishment and succeeded without it, so the lack of support now doesn't faze him as it would many others, a senior Republican source said.
GOP officials will keep a close eye on the race in Missouri to see if he is able to raise money. The question will be whether the congressman finds enough grass-roots support to sustain his campaign, the source said.
The controversy surrounding him also distracts from the issues the GOP would rather focus on, specifically the economy.
Instead, it draws attention to the issue of abortion, and the official Republican Party platform -- ratified this week -- which mirrors Akin's position that abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape. That focus also highlights a schism within the party. Romney, among many other Republicans, supports exceptions for rape and incest.

I liked the side garden in the spring, but summer and fall was another story. The daylilies didn't bloom as much as the year before, because, being greedy, I divided them into tiny little pieces and heeled them in late in the year.
Monarda 'Raspberry Wine' formed a large brilliant patch of color, then burst out of the frame and fell over into the path. DH complained about the bees that ended up on his hands and sleeves when he brushed past it. (Neither DH or any bees were harmed as a result.)
with Buddleia 'Black Knight, since sadly deceased.
Once the Bee Balm was done blooming in September I cut back the fallen over stalks. This left a big raggedy hole, or more like a garden black hole. One's attention gets sucked into it even though there's nothing to see. Attempts to add late season interest looked like pitiful props. Even Mexican Petunia, a great fall show-off, refused to be coaxed into taking over the limelight.
I had a similar issue with the north side of the bed, next to where the cars are parked, except that was more of a void than a black hole in the sense that I kept looking for something instead of being sucked in.
See all of that space filled with violets? Now I love violets, but love has its limits. They choked out even some of the daylilies and then they look pitiful when it's hot and dry. It's a little too wet in winter there even for rugosas ~ there seems to be an invisible line across which they won't sucker.
During the growing season this year I weeded and added a lot of Iris virginiana seedlings for next spring
garden where the water runs after a rain. More daylilies too.
I added Pink Pop Agastache and Azure Sage seedlings to the dry spots. But no matter how much I worked on the garden and added plants and moved things around, the garden just bugged me. Too many spiky plants, too much strappy foliage, not enough bones, and spaces that were empty for too long.
This fall a solution finally fell into place. Many of the roses were blooming again, and the soft colors and romantic swirls of petals against a backdrop of bright fall colors made it obvious what the garden needed more of: roses.
After RRD made a brief appearance 1 1/2 years ago, I determined not to buy any more roses, not for a long time. 5 years seemed like a good interval. 1 1/2 years is almost 5 isn't it? I ordered 8 new roses from Antique Roses Emporium. 4 Marie Pavie, 2 Clotilde Soupert (I have those both of those already but wanted more of them, and didn't want to wait to start cuttings), 1 Basye's Blueberry, and 1 La Marne. All pretty much thornless and all repeat.
RRD may very well show up again, but I have let plants grow up next to the neighbor's fence line, and ruthlessly cut down any muliflora I find. (Roundup is next to useless for this purpose, the only purpose that I bought it for. It kills the plant but not the roots most of the time.) I have no idea if letting a plant barrier grow up really helps, but at least the garden looks less open to windborne mites that carry the virus.
The Bee Balm will stay ~ it'd be insanity to try to dig all of it out! and less feeding will keep it more in bounds ~ but I wanted to put a rose there too.
I thought about adding another 'Sir Thomas Lipton', or moving some suckers of 'Foxi Pavement' there. But Sir Thomas gets SO big, and although there's some rebloom he puts most of his energy into a big spring show.
'Foxi Pavement' won out because it does well no matter where I put it and it will have wet feet there during a rainy winter. So today I potted up some suckers to put back in the garden in a few weeks.
There's also a spot right of the Marie Pavie rose in the below picture that calls for another rose, either La Marne or another Marie Pavie.
The gap is even more obvious in this picture, especially since I went nuts with the clippers and ended up cutting the Japanese Beautyberries down to about 18". I didn't start out with that intention, it just happened. lol Anyway they rebounded to their former height in one year. I also want to add a couple of Marie Pavies to the right side of this bed.
The place next to Marie Pavie really needed filling after Blush Noisette (right foreground) had to be moved.
A vision in full bloom, Blush Noisette was quickly becoming a monster, reaching out to ensnare anyone who came too close in her thorny grasp. Besides, it was only plopped there temporarily because I didn't have a better place to put it at the time.
two Rosa palustris scandens started from cuttings this spring. I hemmed and
hawed about it, as they will get big (as seen below by the vegetable garden).
but that place really needs something woody and I love this rose. It has a rounded shape, it's graceful, very disease resistant, and has lovely willowy leaves.
All of my roses are independent except for mulching and pruning of deadwood, so RRD is really my only concern. If the roses don't work out I have rooted cuttings of Southern Black Blueberries going all of the time. I take them in March and they are ready to go into the ground the following fall. More St. John's Wort, Sweetshrub (Calycanthus floridus) and Alabama Snow-wreath (Neviusia alabamamensis, kindly given to me by Phillip) are also possibilities. And I have always wanted to try Fothergilla as it's a beautiful four season plant.

Frindle ~ An Award Winning Essay
30 comments:
- Charlotte said...
Great essay! My own boys like Frindle lots too.
I think I would have to save the Oxford English Dictionary. One single story wouldn't be enough, but all the little stories that are in the dictionary would let me imagine a whole world.

I wanted to be the first to respond to my son's brilliant essay. I'm so proud of him!
If all the books in the world were about to disappear, I would choose to save A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. This wasn't an easy choice. There are so many worthy books out there to choose from, but I chose AWIT because I think it is a book that appeals to a wide range of readers. It is a book that can be shared and enjoyed between the generations.
I also think that A Wrinkle in Time is timeless. It is a book I enjoyed 30 years ago, today, and I am sure I'll enjoy reading it 30 years from now.
I'm looking forward to hearing from bloggers and friends about their choice for that one special book they would save.

Oh my dear clever Mateo! This is so well written and thought out. I loved reading your vision of this book and I will definately get it for Libby to read. Best line ever written:
'The story is so funny I laughed myself to sleep.'
Well done.

What a difficult question! If all the books but one were to disappear, I think I would want to save Kristen Cashore's Fire, because I love the world she creates, and it is a book I can read (have read) over and over and over... I can imagine in my mind other stories, with her characters or new ones, that could populate the world she has created. More than just one book, I would be saving that imaginative world.
- February 19, 2012 at 1:06 PM
- Sandra McLeod Humphrey said...
First off, A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to your son! Secondly, I'm not going to be much help because A Wrinkle in Time is also my all-time favorite book and, if I had to give all the books in my library away except for one, that would be the one I would keep. It is timeless and so much more! Again, Congratulations to your son, I am so proud of him!
- February 19, 2012 at 1:06 PM
- Barbara Bietz said...
What a thoughtful essay! Well done. I can't imagine choosing only one book to save - but I think it would have to be Charlotte's Web.
- February 19, 2012 at 1:43 PM
- Katy Manck, MLS said...
Dear Mateo - Reading your essay made me remember all the funny parts of Frindle and laugh again, even though the book is not in my hands right now. That's the best part of reading something really good - being able to revisit it in your own mind and imagination, any time you want to.
So the book that I would save is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl. It was my favorite in 5th grade (many years before the movie version), and I loved being able to imagine just how the chocolate waterfall smelled or the amazing sensation of an entire meal delivered by a single piece of chewing gum!
The way that Charlie's grandparents and parents loved him and encouraged him is also such a fine thing to remember. And the courage of his granddad, getting out of that bed after all those years so he could go with Charlie to the chocolate factory!!
Keep up the good work reading and writing and remembering, Mateo - there are many more books waiting for you to discover. Aren't we glad that our books are *not* disappearing?!

I really enjoyed your essay Mateo - I'll definitely have to pick up a copy of Frindle. If I could choose one book to save it would probably be Roald Dahl's The BFG (Big Friendly Giant). It was one of my favourite when I was your age. I especially liked the names of the BFG's food and drink in the book: vegetables called snozzcumbers and a fizzy drink called frobscottle!

- Mr. H. said...
That's my boy. Proud of him. As for a book? It would have to be one that we can also use as a reference. History is important to our future as well. I was leaning towards Howard Zinn's book "A people's history of the United States" but since only one book can be saved, "A People's History of the World" by Chris Harman will have to do. ;)
- February 19, 2012 at 2:25 PM
Way to go, Mateo! Adrian says he would save the book "Why We Need to Recycle" because then there would always be books in existence and we would not ever have to choose just one to save!
- February 19, 2012 at 4:11 PM
- Linda Kinnaman said...
Wonderful and thought out essay, Mateo. I will need to read Tessa's copy of Frindle. I would have a very hard time picking out one book, but if I had to pick one, it would be "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" because it makes me think a lot about life.
- February 19, 2012 at 5:18 PM
- The Book Chook said...
I would save the book, Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. I've owned it for many years, and read it over and over. Yet each time I read it, it makes me laugh aloud. I think our world needs more laughter.
- February 19, 2012 at 6:25 PM
- Sarah Albee said...
Hey Mateo,
That is a great essay. Your comment about laughing yourself to sleep made me realize I would want to save a funny book if all the books were about to disappear. Because people would probably need a good laugh. So I would save my copy of "The Best of P.G. Wodehouse." He is a hilarious writer, one of my favorites.
- February 20, 2012 at 5:00 AM
- Katie DeKoster said...
Aww - Congrats to your son! I loved Frindle too :) And I would have to save The Hunger Games. No question. I seriously tried to get my husband to name our baby Katniss if it was a girl. There's just that compares with this series!
- February 20, 2012 at 7:21 AM
- Sue Fliess said...
Very thoughtful! Great work Mateo. I would save Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, because it touches on so many important human emotions in there: anxiety, helplessness, selfishness, generosity, compassion, frustration, love, and hope. But most of all, love.
- February 20, 2012 at 8:47 AM
- Jen Robinson said...
Congratulations, Mateo! Great work! And what a hard question. I would probably save Pride & Prejudice, because it's a book I can read over and over again, and find something new every time.
- February 20, 2012 at 10:33 AM
- Ms. Yingling said...
Congratulations, Mateo! And if you really had to save a book, maybe you could grab a compilation of lots of Andrew Clement's books. I would save Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth because it is so well written and funny. It is a hard question, but I started thinking about the answer in 1980 when my English class read Fahrenheit 451 and the teacher asked us what book we would memorize.
- February 20, 2012 at 11:49 AM
- Linda said...
Great job, Mateo. Congrats! Without a doubt, the book I would save is The Phantom Tollbooth. It is one of my favorite of all time. I loved this book as a child and to this day, still enjoy reading it to my kids. I think it is a masterpiece and a little under-appreciated. I love the play on words and its interesting perspective. My favorite part is when Milo conducts a color symphony.

Congratulations young man--you are an inspiration! I can imagine it was as difficult for you as for the rest of us to narrow this down to one book. If all books disappeared, and I had one left, I might hope for The Children of Green Knowe because Lucy Maria Boston's vocabulary is so rich that I think every time I would read it, new details would pop out. Also, it has stories within stories, so is like more than one book. Finally, I could do something different with it every day--create art interpretations, write my own screen play, act out characters, or write my own fan fiction to each character!
- February 20, 2012 at 1:17 PM
- Jeanette W. Stickel said...
Great essay! If I had to choose one book to save, I'm not sure what I'd do. First I thought I'd grab Charles Dickens' "David Copperfield" (one of my all time favorites), but then I remembered, "Winnie-the-Pooh" (one of my all time favorites), I could not leave that behind. Next I thought of my mammoth book, "The Best Poems of the English Language," selected by Harold Bloom (one of my . . .) In the end I was extremely relieved I don't actually have to make this decision, but thank you, Mateo for pointing me in the right direction. I now know which book I'll pick up next – Frindle. It sounds like a great read for me and one I'll enjoy introducing to my students.
- February 20, 2012 at 2:38 PM
- MotherReader said...
I think I would have to find a way to sneak other books into being saved because just one book is too hard! But if forced, I'd choose The Hobbit because every time I read it, I enjoy it all over again. It's a fantastic story, but also about good character and the struggle to do the right things, even when things go wrong.
Congratulations on your winning essay!
- February 20, 2012 at 2:48 PM
- Jeff Barger said...
Well done, Mateo! Congratulations on your winning essay. I would choose Tuck Everlasting to save. It is a book that summarizes the experience of being a human and addresses the one question that all of us think about. Good luck in your future writing.
- February 21, 2012 at 12:56 AM
- Renee LaTulippe said...
Congrats on your wonderful essay! If I had to save one book, I think I'd have to cheat and save the complete works of Jane Austen! But if only one, then I'd take Pride and Prejudice. Jane's language and wit are incomparable and her characters are so alive that I'd never feel alone. :)
- February 21, 2012 at 1:06 AM
- Medea said...
What a great essay! I will look for this book for my kids!
If I could only save one book, I would save Anne of Green Gables, because if we have no other books we would need a lot of optimism and imagination and Anne has both in spades!
- February 21, 2012 at 5:23 AM
- Terry D said...
Would it count if I picked an anthology? I love the 20th Century Children's Literature and it traveled everywhere with us. We had lots of great stories on hand all in one, neat place.
- February 22, 2012 at 2:04 PM
- RM1(SS) (ret) said...
Good essay, Mateo - I read Frindle two or three years ago, and I agree with all of your points. As for saving a single book, I like the ideas posted by others, such as The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury or the OED, but I think I'd go for one of the annotated single-volume collections of Shakespeare. (Unless I had to carry it around myself, in which case I think I'd pick Swallows and Amazons, my favourite children's book....)
- February 22, 2012 at 7:09 PM
- Lynda Mullaly Hunt said...
Hey, Mateo! Wow! COngrat's on doing such a wonderful job in writing your essay. I can see why it won the contest.
And, I agree--I just love the book, Frindle for all of the reasons that state so well. It is funny and it makes you think--those are my favorite kinds of books. The ones I find myself thinking about long afterward.
Hmmm...Hard to deciede what other books I may choose. Perhaps, A Wrinkle in Time, The Cay, and The Great Gilly Hopkins.
- March 1, 2012 at 10:36 PM
- mad said...
Nice essay! Congratulations! (I love your "a pinch of hyperbole" comment.) My kids loved Frindle as well. I'd have a seriously hard time choosing one book, but I love the reasons you gave for choosing this one.
- March 2, 2012 at 4:52 AM
- Gretchen said...
Wonderful job, Mateo! You have inspired me to reread Frindle.
If I had to choose a book to read, I would choose Middlemarch by George Eliot. It's a book I have never read but have wanted to for the last 10 years. A teacher once told me it was the greatest novel ever written in the English language.

It only seemed right that he be part of the closure of our PNW journey. Sean, even from afar, made us feel comfortable and in good hands - just as we suspected he would.

This was my second time working with Sean, and he didn't disappoint. Despite working with an out of town seller and an uncooperative tenant, Sean made the buying process easy. His communications skills are top notch, he knows the market, and he's very pleasant to work with. I'd say I'll use him again, but I'm pretty sure we found our forever home. Thanks Sean!

We were moving from Newberg, OR up to Bellingham gor work and needed to purchase a house. We contacted Sean and he got work right away finding us some where to live. He made the house buying process smooth and with very little stress. He was always available by phone or email if we ever had questions or concerns. Sean and his team made us feel important and not just a number.

Sean was exceptional! We purchased a home from out of state. When we came to visit he showed us a handful of homes that met our criteria. He really learned what we were looking for. After sending us numerous listings we had him view a home on our behalf. His input and industry knowledge were impressive. The purchase process was smooth and easy. We found the perfect home for our growing family. Highly recommend Sean!

Sean was ready to answer questions and take action through every step of our process. He made it fast and easy to get in to look at homes. Sean was very diligent about going to bat for us during the offer process and made sure we were making the most competitive offer we could. Sean was there for us not only as a realtor, but as a supporter. He joined us on signing day at the title office, and brought us little tokens like packing boxes that made our life just a little bit easier.

Sean Ryan recently handled the sale of our home in Maple Falls, Washington. He was incredibly helpful in selling our home "long distance", as we had already moved across the country. Sean handled all the details of selling our home, and calmly handled every obstacle that arose. I would recommend Sean to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home.

Sean did an amazing job selling my condo this month. Not only did he price it well for this market, but I got a full price offer on day one.

I would not hesitate to recommend Sean Ryan and his team for ANY real estate transaction. We have worked with him on both buying and selling and have found him to be highly professional, timely and very accommodating. Never once did he pressure or rush us. He never attempted to sway us one way or the other but listened to us and made suggestions. In fact he was honest with us if he felt a home did not match our needs. Sean is an awesome real estaate agent and a really great guy. It hs been a real pleasure to work with him and his entire team. They use the latest marketing and advances in technology and social media to go all out when marketing your home or finding your new one.

Thank you Sean for your tireless work in selling my rental home. There were several obstacles that came up in the process and you handled all of them with your calm and friendly demeanor. Thanks so much for everything!

Sean is extremely organized, efficient and skilled at his craft. He went well above and beyond to help me sell my home and took most every burden that came up (organizing bids for work needing done, meeting with contractors, etc.) along the way so I could go on with day to day life uninterrupted. I appreciated his authentic spirit and the way he genuinely cared for all involved. And the outcome was phenomenal! I''ll be a client of Sean's for life, he's as kind and trustworthy as they come.

Phillip & Karen Fields
Sean and his team did a wonderful marketing and sale for us! Sold our home in 3 days! The process was smooth throughout, any questions we had were answered immediately. The whole team are professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Would always be my first choice in the future! Thank you Sean!!!!!!

Jason Oost
Sean was a pleasure to work with while we searched for our home in Bellingham. It is evident that Sean's priority is his long-term relationship with you as a client. There were several houses along the way with which he could have achieved a quick sale but he supported us in finding the right house for us even though it extended his work several months. He is a nice guy, honest and doesn't pressure his clients, which are the characteristics that I most value in a realtor.
Apr 12, 2017
Shannon Fuller
Sean is all about creating lasting relationships with his clients! He was a fantastic guide for us during the sale of our house, stopping in to answer any questions we had, and explaining every step along the way. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone and look forward to our continued connection!

From my reading about ldap, I am under the impression that ldap treats the directory separately from the entries that are stored in the nodes of the directory. One can use objectclass to control what is stored in an entry. However how does one control the directory tree structure itself? I want to limit the kind of directory tree structure a client can create in the ldap server. Pre-creating the directory will not work since I need to allow the client to create sub branches of arbitrary depth as long as those sub branches meet the my spec.

KOffice 1.6 Alpha Released
Swiftly following the latest bugfix release for KOffice 1.5, the KDE Project today announced the release of KOffice 1.6 alpha. This is the first preview release for KOffice 1.6, scheduled for release this October. KOffice is an integrated office suite with more components than any other suite in existence. KOffice 1.6 is mainly a feature release for Krita and Kexi while the new revolutionary KOffice 2.0 is being developed, Read the full announcement and the changelog for more details or read on for the full article.
This release specifically introduces the following highlights:
Of course, there are also fixes for a number of bugs and introduces
This is a technology preview, and will only be available in source format.
The final release of KOffice 1.6 will not only be more polished, but will also contain several features that were not yet finished for this preview. This is a very good time for developers who have wished to contribute to KOffice to come in and have a look around.
Make it stable, devs!
I like the pace of KOffice development but it's very annoying that KOffice applications often crash when doing simple operations.
By Artem S. Tashkinov at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Make it stable, devs!
Thanks. Maybe you're lucky man or able to track down crashes more easily than others? In any case, what about contacting the devs using proper tools, i.e. http://bugs.kde.org ?
dot.kde.org is not a place for such contribution
By Jaroslaw Staniek at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Make it stable, devs!
We really, really need a small team of dedicated users to do regression testing for KOffice. Regression testing is not something easily automated, and not something developers should do -- because developers know the right path through the application. Ideally, we'd start with a set of regression tests based on existing bug reports augmented by a set of regression tests that cover all features of all KOffice apps, and have real people exercise those tests during the beta's.
I even started writing a web application for that, something like bugzilla but for tests and with statistics about the best tested app, the team that's got the most complete coverage and things like that. I might pick up on that in September.
But even right now, I hope that you'll be among the people who download the alpha's and beta's, test it rigorously and mail your results to the mailing list or put them in bugzilla. Or contact the KOffice hackers on irc about it.

But it is somehow frustrating to test and report problems, if really heavy bugs are not fixed for a long time. One example, which makes kspread unusable with formulas: 114635 The bug is in 1.4.2, 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.2

Re: Make it stable, devs!
That's where this team of regression testers is different from ordinary users reporting bugs: their task is to make sure problems are caught before release, and that regressions (where things that used to work don't work anymore) are caught, too. This is an effort to help the developers reach good and dependable releases.
Of course, alpha and beta releases are the places where regressions should be caught. It's more than folly, it's actively malicious to review alpha releases as if they were full releases like Linux Format did with KOffice 1.5 and then to decry the bugginess of applications. The regression testing team should concentrate their work during the beta phase.
(Oh, and from the bug report you mention, it's clear that work is being done on it, it's just that it looks hard to fix. It's not being ignored...)

Re: Make it stable, devs!
I wouldn't mind testing KOffice if it is simple enough to put beta version next to a stable one.
Is it that simple with KOffice?

Re: Make it stable, devs!
I am running FC5, and usually installing software with yum (i.e. RPMs).
By yuval at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Make it stable, devs!
Klik doesn't actually install (well other than klik itself, which is really small) anything on your system (everything stays in a .cmg file, which is a compressed file system image). Klik won't interfere with Yum at all.
Though I'm not sure if klik is the solution to this problem.
By Corbin at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Make it stable, devs!
>>How does Klick integrates with Yum?
>> Can I be sure that the system will stay consistent, (in terms of libraries, path, rpm database, etc. ) if using both Yum and Klick?
Yes, if you want to remove an application that was installed with klik, you simply remove the corresponding cmg-image. That's it. Klik does not alter any systemfiles or libraries.
By rinse at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Make it stable, devs!
But, doesn't klik programs still use the same configuration files than installed versions? If that's the case, running a newer version of an already installed program might change the settings in a way not supported by the installed one.

Re: Make it stable, devs!
So I install Klik.
It doesn't seem to me as version 1.6a, is it?

Re: Make it stable, devs!
Regression testing is only one part of it. You need defined testcases, synchronised with implementet changes, to do the this kind of testing or otherwise its meaningless.

Watercolor and other paint tools in Krita
A while ago, it was said that tools to make watercolor painting and other kinf of Painter-like tools was planned, even being developped for Krita. The goal was to differentiate from Gimp in providing such tools aimed at creating content.
By Richard Van Den Boom at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Watercolor and other paint tools in Krita
No, not dropped, but we've had a lot of setbacks in that area.
I actually have most of a chinese brush simulation done and the beginning of a fun oilpaint brush. But I got kind of burned out after the 1.5 release and didn't do much towards 1.6 or 2.0. Which means it didn't get finished. And Leonardo, an Italian hacker got run over by a car before he could commit his watercolor stuff, and he's been out of action for a couple of months now, although he's expected to come through fine. The watercolor stuff that's already in Krita doesn't want to dry for some reason, and I cannot find the problem, nor can Bart Coppens. And before I got burned out, I was permanently distracted by bug fixing, release management, trying to come up with a shared openraster file format and lots of other things. Cyrille has been working on a Corel Painter style programmable brush, but I don't that that's done either, otherwise it'd be in 1.6.
Krita is really ready for painterly stuff: the core supports any type of colorspace, regularly running filters to simulate drying and all that. Now it just needs to be finished, debugged and included.
By Boudewijn at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Watercolor and other paint tools in Krita
Wow, thats a lot of bad luck all at once.
Well, maybe I'll poke around the code and try putting some fixes in.

Re: Watercolor and other paint tools in Krita
Ugh. Just when I thought I had an unlucky day myself I thought I might read some KDE news to cheer me up... Well, that didnt quite work except that
The internet is somehow a strange place. All those people seem so close but on a bad day or if you feel burnt out they all feel distant. That's because the net transports information so much better than emotion and sympathy. Some appreciating nod or slap on the back - this is all lost in communication. Hope you know what I mean. So I'm taking the chance to note here for all those working on Open Source software and especially KDE :
Thanks so much for all the work you put into this. So many people around me (including myself) are using it every day and have come to rely on it for their work and private use. I've already edited countless images with Krita so I sincerely hope you are aware that there are LOTS of people out there you have never heard off that really appreciate your work and that we all know very well that it's not granted someone puts so much work into sth. during their spare time. If you feel burnt out please take it seriously and take your time off. Nothing is more precious than one's health.
By Martin at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Watercolor and other paint tools in Krita
Martin, well said. +1 for me!
By Richard Bollinger at Tue, 2006/08/01 - 5:00am
Re: Watercolor and other paint tools in Krita
Thank you very much for the feedback. I understand very well that open source developers may feel exhausted and tired of working on such big projects at some point. Seems quite normal to me and I hope you didn't take my questions as some sort of criticizing. I know it can be quite hard indeed, especially when bad luck comes on top of it.

How to help
This is directed at to all people out there...
You write:
I don't think people really understand how big a help this really is for the developers. When somebody creates a short, to the point and concise bug report, complete with how to reproduce a bug, it gives the developer a well defined task to work with. It is much, much faster to fix such a bug than to hear that "so-and-so feature doesn't work":
I'd also like to point out that there are several other ways that you can help even if you are not programmers. You can write documentation, you can create templates, you can create graphics, you can do UI design. You can also help spread the word or write magazine articles.
Nothing of this is as difficult as you might think. I know that some of the people in KDE development are totally awesome (and Boudewijn is one that comes to mind), but most people are pretty average. They dedicate some hours a week to KDE and still lots and lots of things get done. It's because of the numbers that we can make the software grow, not because we have a few dedicated souls who do all the work themselves.
This is a very good time to start developing for KOffice, even if you are unsure about your own abilities. We have several developers who started out without knowing much to start with, but who quickly got very productive. Join us in #koffice on IRC, or look at our website, http://www.koffice.org/. There is a special section for developers where a number of simpler tasks, so called Junior Jobs, are listed. I can guarantee that we are a friendly bunch, and that we will have suggestions on where you could start to wet your feet.

Feb. 25, 2006
ANNAPOLIS, MD - A meeting with the Midshipmen did nothing to sink the level of play of the men's tennis team today, as the Bulldogs rolled over Navy, 6-1. Yale won all three doubles matches, and at No. 4 singles, Rowan Reynolds pulled out a tiebreaker to win an extremely close match.
The Bulldogs easily won all three doubles matches to jump out to an early 1-0 lead. No. 1 Rowan Reynolds and Rory Green, No. 2 Brandon Wai and Josh Lederman, and No. 3 Milosz Gudzowski and Jeff Dawson all downed their Midshipman opponents 8-4.
"We won today, and we didn't play our best," Cary Leeds Head Coach Alex Dorato said. "I think that gives the team confidence that if we do play well, we can beat Maryland tomorrow."
In singles, Yale's top three seeds all won in straight sets. No. 1 Wai downed Nate Helms, 6-1, 7-5, No. 2 Gudzowski beat Jason Hill, 6-2, 6-2, and No. 3 Michael Caldwell defeated Adrian Lai, 6-3, 6-4.
After falling behind 1-0 after a 6-4 loss in the first set, Reynolds roared back in the No. 4 slot, winning the second set 7-5 and the third in a tiebreaker.
"He had a lot of opportunities to break serve in the first set, and never quite capitalized," Dorato said. "He still knew he was in control of the match. He just played a lot smarter in the second set."
At No. 5, Green thrashed Stanley Kahl, 6-1, 6-3 to round out Yale's wins. The Bulldogs will take on No. 75 Maryland tomorrow in College Park.
"I think [the team] is very confident that we'll beat Maryland tomorrow," Dorato said.
No. 1 Brandon Wai (Y) def. Nate Nelms (N), 6-1, 7-5

The Royals forged a 32-23 lead in the first half on the strength of 54 percent shooting. The Cobras took a wild three-pointer on their final possession of the half and
Coker's deficit stayed around the 10-point mark for much of the second period before CC heated up in the last five minutes. The Cobras scored eleven-straight points to cut the lead to 59-58 but a Timmons three-pointer ended the run and pushed the advantage back to four points.
Timon Farley made two clutch free-throws to push the margin back to three-points and CC called timeout. Junior Johnny Jackson took an errant three from the top of the key but the ball bounded back to Jason Fulwood. Fulwood had a good look with two seconds left but his shot also missed the mark and
Jenkins led Coker offensively with 13 and five rebounds on 11-12 shooting from the charity stripe. Hawkins came up big with 12 points and the duo of Fulwood and Mark Duncan both finished with 11.
Coker returns to action Saturday afternoon, February 19, at against Limestone in Hartsville.

KTRACE(9) BSD Kernel Manual KTRACE(9)
ktrcsw, ktremul, ktrgenio, ktrnamei, ktrpsig, ktrsyscall, ktrsysret, KTRPOINT - process tracing kernel interface
#include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/proc.h> #include <sys/ktrace.h> KTRPOINT(struct proc *p, int type); void ktrcsw(struct proc *p, int out, int user); void ktremul(struct proc *p, char *emul); void ktrgenio(struct proc *p, int fd, enum uio_rw rw, struct iovec *iov, int len, int error); void ktrnamei(struct proc *p, char *path); void ktrpsig(struct proc *p, int sig, sig_t action, int mask, int code, siginfo_t *si); void ktrsyscall(struct proc *p, register_t code, size_t argsize, register_t args[]); void ktrsysret(struct proc *p, register_t code, int error, register_t retval);
This interface is meant for kernel subsystems and machine dependent code to inform the user about the events occurring to the process should trac- ing of such be enabled using the ktrace(2) system call. Each of the func- tions (except for KTRPOINT) is meant for a particular type of event and is described below. The KTRPOINT() macro should be used before calling any of the other trac- ing functions to verify that tracing for that particular type of events has been enabled. Possible values for the type argument are a mask of the KTRFAC_ values described in ktrace(2). ktrcsw() is called during the context switching. The user argument is a boolean value specifying whether the process has been put into a waiting state (true) or placed onto a running queue (false). Furthermore the user argument indicates whether a voluntary (false) or an involuntary (true) switching has happened. ktremul() should be called every time emulation for the execution en- vironment is changed and thus the name of which is given in the name ar- gument. ktrgenio() should be called for each generic input/output transaction that is described by the fd file descriptor, rw transaction type (consult sys/sys/uio.h for the enum uio_rw definition), iov input/output data vec- tor, len size of the iov vector, and, lastly, error status of the tran- saction. ktrnamei() should be called every time a namei(9) operation is performed over the path name. ktrpsig() should be called for each signal sig posted for the traced pro- cess. The action taken is one of SIG_DFL, SIG_IGN, or SIG_ERR as described in the sigaction(2) document. mask is the current traced pro- cess' signal mask. Signal-specific code and siginfo_t structure as described in <sys/siginfo.h> are given in the code and si arguments respectively. ktrsyscall() should be called for each system call number code executed with arguments in args of total count of argsize. ktrsysret() should be called for a return from each system call number code and error number of error as described in errno(2) and a return value in retval that is syscall dependent.
The process tracing facility is implemented in sys/kern/kern_ktrace.c.
errno(2), ktrace(2), syscall(2), namei(9), syscall(9)

Given 10 individuals with MS, the physician is presented with a set of
symptoms which have a commonalty and some which are unique to certain individuals. In the Naturopathic view, these symptoms are the body's way of telling the affected person that something is wrong and that it is attempting to correct the imbalance imposed on it by the disease. The pattern of symptoms experienced by the patient becomes even more important than the diagnosis, as it allows the physician to select the medicines with which to treat the person. This is based upon the vitalist tradition of medicine which was first expounded by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine.
Prior to the early part of this century, MS was not recognized as a specific disease entity except in rare cases. The incidence of
the disease, especially in industrialized nations, has risen in the past 50 years to its present level. Conventional medicine generally views MS as being an incurable disease characterized by periods of
decline and remission.
Naturopathic physicians do not see the disease process as being incurable or one of inevitable decline, as they believe in the healing power of nature, or vis medicatrix naturae. What is important to understand is that the healing ability of the body begins early at the onset of the disease before any destruction of the nervous system or pathology takes place. This is why early diagnosis is often missed by conventional medicine as it relies primarily on the presence of diagnostic markers such as the presence of oligoclonal proteins in the spinal fluid or a poor flicker-fusion response. These changes are not seen until there is a considerable progression of the disease.
Because any symptom is seen as an attempt by the body to correct itself, MS may be treated early, allowing for a greater rate of success and
recovery. In my experience, even patients who are in the advanced stages will benefit from natural therapeutics as they act in harmony with the normal body healing processes.
Naturopathic physicians may use a variety of therapeutic modalities ranging from conventional drug therapy to diet and nutrition, homeopathy, physical medicine, acupuncture, and the use of plants or botanical medicine while treating the whole person, not necessarily the "disease".
Diet: Naturopathic physicians have long held that most of the chronic degenerative disease of our modern era are diet related. The higher incidences of multiple sclerosis parallel increased rates of cancer, heart disease and arthritis, as well as other chronic degenerative diseases, and all of these coincide with the introduction of high fat, high refined sugar and processed food diets which has become the standard diet of most Americans. There has been a considerable body of research which bears this out, most notably that of Francis Pottenger, M. D., Weston Price, DDS and Roy Swank, M. D..

Nick Arcement is no stranger to the sport of pool.
Nick Arcement is no stranger to the sport of pool.
The co-owner of Cue Sports in Thibodaux has been playing the game for 18 of his 35 years on this earth.
Although he has achieved a lot in the sport, it doesn't diminish the feeling he gets whenever he wins a championship like the 2013 State 9-Ball title he claimed on Oct. 11 in West Monroe.
After losing in his second-round match, Arcement came all the way back to claim the title beating professional player Gary Abood in the finals.
"I've played him a number of times, but this was the first time I've actually beaten him," Arcement said of the tournament that featured about 40 amateur and professional players from around the country.
Arcement said wins like the one he claimed against Abood don't just happen by accident.
"It takes a lot of time and effort," he said. "You have to practice all the time because pool is a sport where it will only give you what you give to it."
According to friend and fellow local pool player Jordan Pujol, what made Arcement's championship all the more impressive was how he claimed his title.
"He had to do it going against long odds," Pujol said. "It is a double-dip format meaning he had to beat Abood twice and go through the loser's bracket just to play him in the finals."
Arcement is currently in the midst of playing a competitive schedule that will see him participating in a pair of big tournaments during the next few weeks.
One of the larger ones is a Lousiana Amateur Tournament planned for late November.
"Amateur players are what keep the pros going strong," Arcement said. "We are just vital to the sport as the pros themselves. What's neat is amateur players can win $5,000 at the added event that anyone can qualify for."
Arcement said the goal of businesses like Cue Sports is to help develop younger player's games.
"Pool is moving away from the hustling side of things and becoming more of a respectable sport with Facebook allowing people to know everyone's handicaps," he said. "The hustling side of pool gave the sport a bad name many years ago and all the players like me and plenty of others are ready to change that."
Although Arcement is busy looking to expand Cue Sports by adding another location in Morgan City, that hasn't cut down his practice and teaching schedule.
"I'm always working with younger players who are interested in the game," Arcement said. "It truly is an addiction for people like me."
Pujol can't say enough good things about Arcement.
"He's a great ambassador for the sport locally," Pujol said. "I look up to him as mentor for my own pool playing. All of local players were super excited when he found out about his championship because we know the work that went into and how hard it was to do."
