Actress Nicole Kidman and her country music star husband, Keith Urban, just welcomed a new member to their family.
The couple announced the birth of their daughter, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, in a statement Monday.
Faith was born Dec. 28 via a surrogate at the Women's Hospital at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn. She is the biological child of Urban and Kidman. The couple, both 43, already have a daughter, 2-year-old Sunday Rose.
"Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret," the couple said in a statement. "No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process, in particular our gestational carrier."
Kidman and Urban are the latest celebrity couple to turn to surrogacy on the path to parenthood.
On Christmas Day, Elton John and partner David Furnish became fathers to a baby boy.
John, 63, and Furnish, 48, reportedly consulted with another celebrity couple, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, about the joys and pitfalls of surrogacy. Parker, 45, and Broderick, 48, used another woman's womb to carry their twin girls, Marion and Tabitha, born in June 2009.
More recently, actor Neil Patrick Harris, 37, and his partner David Burtka welcomed fraternal twins -- boy Gideon Scott and girl Harper Grace -- by a surrogate last October. Earlier, in July, Portuguese soccer star and international sex symbol Cristiano Ronaldo, 25, became dad to a baby boy with the help of an unnamed American woman he paid to be a surrogate.
If it seems as if the number of children being born through surrogates has been growing in recent years, that's because it is. And not just for celebrity parents.
"The vast majority are regular working people," Shirley Zager, director of the Organization of Parents Through Surrogacy, a national support group, told ABCNews.com. "But celebrities bring attention in a good way to surrogacy as an option to consider among other options."
What makes surrogacy an attractive option for some is the fact that the child can be genetically related to one or both parents.
These births don't come cheap, however. Zager puts the average cost between $70,000 and $130,000.
Zager, who has been involved with surrogacy for 25 years, including the birth of her daughter in 1986, estimates that there have been about 30,000 surrogate births since 1976. And that number grows by 1,300 a year.
In addition to married couples, more gays and singles, like Ricky Martin, who had twin sons in 2008, are relying on surrogacy to have children.
The place that many celebrities turn to is the Center for Surrogate Parenting in Los Angeles. Kelsey Grammer and his soon-to-be ex-wife Camille, former "Good Morning America" host Joan Lunden and actresses Angela Bassett and Deidre Hall are former clients -- and those are just the ones who have gone public.
"We have worked with a lot of people in the entertainment industry," program director Joanne Bubrick told ABCNews.com, including, "many high profile people no one knows about, because it's very personal."
John and Furnish went public about the help they received from the center to have their son son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John.

PERFECTION :) – Carolina Coffee Shop is my favorite place to eat in Chapel Hill by FAR! As a UNC student, it's so nice to eat there with friends, go there for lunch and a study session, etc.! The service is always excellent, and the food/menu options are amazing as well. I always have trouble deciding what to order because everything is incredible! Also, if you enjoy sweet tea...GET IT HERE! It's always awesome. In short, EAT HERE! You'll never regret it!!!!
GREAT PLACE FOR CHEESE FRIES & COLD BEER!! – WE EAT THERE AND WE ARE AWESOME! All kidding aside, it has the BEST CHEESE FRIES to go with cold beer on all of Franklin St. (or anywhere else in the Chapel Hill/Durham area for that matter). It is under new management since July, 2009 and smack in the MIDDLE of Franklin St. - perfect location! Try them out.
Carolina Coffee Shop a "must stop" – Brunch today @ the Carolina Coffee Shop (under new ownership) was perfect in every way. We were seated promptly, the service was efficient and attentive, and, most importantly, the Eggs Benedict arrived quickly, and perfectly cooked. Very highly recommended
Not so good – Overpriced and simply not worth the porice. Waiter was rather rude and condescending...why I do not know?
It's changed! – The Coffee Shop was for years our place to take out-of-towners or for a comfortable dinner with friends before crossing the street to the Varsity Theater. The place had an interesting & changing menu with innovative items (trout was always interesting). It "feel" was old, local, comfortable, established, historic (since 1926).
No more. Apparently the business plan has changed to attract UNC students.
Last night we entered to hear muzak from the 60s and current. The menu is almost all burgers, sandwiches and a few salads (there are daily entrees, but none last night were appealing). My Coffee House Club Turkey was an acceptable turkey sandwich, but it was not a club sandwich, and it offered only modest amounts of turkey, bacon, lettuce & tomato (at $8, it was overpriced and not really as good as Arby's). My wife's grilled tuna sandwich was ordered with whole wheat bread came in a hamburger bun, and the tuna was dry.
The pecan pie was indeed very good - better, my wife said, than her own recipe.
But from now on, if we eat downtown it will be (gasp!) at Spanky's because of their wider menu (or Pepper's for pizza). And if we take out-of-towners to Franklin Street, we'll stick with Top of the Hill.
BEST BURGER - The Hot Bacon Provolone Cheeseburger!! – BEST BURGER - The Hot Bacon Provolone Cheeseburger with onion!! Cozy atmosphere, a little pricey but nice!
Avoid the Coffee shop – I was completely dissapointed with the entire experience at he COffee shop this morning. My server never popped over to greet or take drink orders. I had to tell the hostess and she retrieved the drinks. Finally after 30minutes from sitting down the server came over and took our order. My dish (breakfast food) took quite awhile and the eggs were wrong. When the dish arrived back the entire meal was cold and uneatable. My drinks were never refilled. I looked up a couple of times and noticed that there wasn't one server in the dinning room. I will never return and do not recomend this to anyone!!
Bad Experience – We went here on a Sunday after church. There was a bit of a wait, which we thought was a good thing. After we were seated it took nearly 10 minutes for a server to even appear. When we finally got her attention we had to ask for *everything* (silverware, napkins, creamer). They ran out of some of their key foods (part of which were included in our order) and offered to knock off a few bucks if we would keep the order and the substituted something else so we agreed. We waited 30+ minutes for our order (breakfast food) and when it came it was awful. cold and gross. we would have complained but our server never came back to our table. when we finally got our bill they had only discounted our order $1.55 (!) and when I told the server that the whole meal had been bad she apologized and spoke with the manager. who did nothing.
yuck!!! we will never go back here. it is expensive and just plain bad - bad service and bad food.
Avoid the "Hair-O-Lina" Coffee Shop – I went to the Carolina Coffee Shop for lunch and was quite disappointed. I ordered a breakfast dish with meat, eggs and potatoes. After I had eaten a few bites I noticed a long black hair protruding from my eggs. The hair had obviously been cooked into the food. I let the waitress know and she kindly offered to bring me another dish. I ordered the fish special which was a battered and fried catfish. My dish came out in a matter of minutes, which made me think that they had actually given me someone else's order. Sadly, I found sticking out from the batter of the fried fish another long black hair. I was beyond losing my appetite. The manager/owner of the store was in that day, and knew about the situation but did not bother to come by and apologize. Instead the waitress came to our table and was nice and apologized but gave me a card that said "good for one entree, does not include drinks or gratuities" signed by the manager.
I thought to myself "why would I want to come back?"

Biography / Administrative history
Novelist, story writer, essayist and translator, Gail Scott's writing plays across the boundary of English Canadian and French Canadian culture as well as exploring the boundaries of narrative form and theory. She is the author of the novels "Heroine", "My Paris", "Main Brides", the short-story collection "Spare Parts" and essay collection "Spaces Like Stairs". "Main Brides" was selected as one of the 10 best novels of the century by the Montréal Gazette, both "Heroine" and "Main Brides" were shortlisted for the QSPELL award for best novel and "My Paris" was named one of the ten best novels of 1999 by Quill & Quire. Scott graduated from Ottawa Teachers College and taught for Toronto Public School Board in the early 1960's. Later, she began her writing career as a journalist working for a number of Canada's leading English newspapers (particularly covering Quebec for English Canada). She is a founding member of the Quebec cultural magazine Spirale and worked on Last Post. Scott is also a Governor General's Award nominee for her translation of Michael Delisle's "Le Désarroi du matelot". Her work as an experimental feminist writer led her to work with a group of theorists who published «La théorie, un dimanche» (of which Nicole Brossard and Louky Bersianik were also prominent contributors) and to work on the editorial collective of Tessera (in which Daphne Marlatt, Barbara Godard and Nicole Brossard were also involved). She is a contributing editor of the Narrative Website Magazine put out through the Poetry Centre at San Francisco State University. Scott was involved with the NFB film fragments of a conversation on language. She is also author of "In October's Eye", an as of yet unpublished work on Quebec culture and the "Quiet Revolution". Scott was writer-in-residence at the University of Alberta at Edmonton (1994-1995).

I've got a problem that I can't figure out.
I'm building a new bathroom upstairs.
The bathroom is up against the back wall of the house and the toilet I need to install would be up against that wall
After taking out the end space for a shower, there is only about 4.5 feet left to put a toilet.
I'm having a problem with how to drain the toilet.
My floor joists are only 2x 8. yet I need to drain with 3 inch pipe minimum.
I do not have any place where I can put the toilet and just drain straight back and down due to a door header that I run into
in the wall below. There are a couple of spots that I can run the pipe down, but that would require boring through
two floor joists, to get to that area
3 5/8 inch holes for the pipe in the 2x 8's is breaking every rule I've found for boring.
I don't think i can run the drain straight back and down due to the header below, and yet I don't think I can run it through the two floor
joists either.
Am I wrong about one or both of those statements?
Is it possible that I could bore those holes in two joist. Would the fact that it's only two joists and that I could do it close to the wall help my case? Could I support those two joists with additional 2x8's on both sides, and then drill through the 3-layered 2x8?
The only other solution I can think of would involve putting the toilet at the end of the bathroom, but that would put the shower in the middle. but the bathroom is tiny. That would be like a "hall shower" with doors on both sides that you'd have to walk through to get to the toilet.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated

Old tank on the beach at Qui Nhon
Old tank on the beach at Qui Nhon

Read more about Qui Nhon
Vietnam's Binh Dinh is a narrow province set between Gia Lai province on the highlands and the South China Sea. If you are planning on heading into the Central Highlands, this is an ideal place to head west with Route 19 heading west to Pleiku from Binh Dinh's provincial capital of Qui Nhon.
Qui Nhon (also spelt Quy Nhon) is a medium-sized town that counts fishing as its mainstay and not surprisingly, the seafood here is excellent. Approaching Qui Nhon from the south on Highway 1A, it looks like a beautiful, quaint little beachside town. From the north, the approach is congested with honking cars, belching fumes past and endless line of ugly storefronts. The truth of Qui Nhon is, not surprisingly, in between. The surrounds can be beautiful, but the town is set up more as a commercial ... Read our complete Qui Nhon travel guide

Overall, I'm happy with VRBO as my primary means of advertising my vacation home, but I don't like the fact that they're now spamming folks who've inquired about my property - trying to get them to use Reservation Manager for payment, etc. One renter just forwarded me two email he's received from VRBO in the past few days. Apparently he's getting about one a day! I'm using the PayPros c. card account system and don't need Reservation Manager's assistance. BTW, PayPros has been excellent to work with - fast and accurate - and it was recommended initially by HomeAway, so I don't see the need for any other system. If anyone at HomeAway / VRBO is monitoring these discussions, I would appreciate your passing along my objection to your followup emails to prospective renters! Thanks!
I agree also. I've been with VRBO for 9 years and have been fairly happy with the result. But, just to see how it would go, I also signed up with HomeAway this year. I have two rentals from HomeAway, but the balance of my rentals are with VRBO. VRBO is more consitent, but I do not like all the follow-up information and the fact that they offer 10 other properties when someone inquires about mine. I also do not like the offer of Reservation Manager. I handle all my reservations and my rentals pay by personal check. Both VRBO and HomeAway are suggesting that the consumer should not trust a homeowner and use a credit card, so they can do a charge back, if there are problems. This open the door to crooks and cons. Forget it! I open my home to strangers and I want to know they are on the up and up.
I have had no response from vrbo since tuesday and I have emailed them multiple times! The issues that I was having started a few weeks ago and were not even acknowledged! Instead I was told that it was my computer and that I needed to erase my history and my cookies and upgrade my browser, NONE of which helped. I added a "P.S." informing them that this also happened on my phone and they said: "The site isn't meant to be used from a smart phone." Seriously?! But that's not all.....I am adding a property for my aunt and we went through all of the prompts but once the payment was confirmed I was unable to upload any information or photos. So I emailed them AGAIN and have had no response! What has happened to this company??? I have advised my aunt to file a complaint and have her $700 returned as she is not benefitting from this at all. This is the image that I get over and over when I log on:
To satisfy yourself where the issue might originate, may I suggest a different approach? Use another computer, even if you have to go to another place, perhaps someone you know like a family, and use their computer to see if it allows you to go further where you are curretnly stuck when using your own computer. If it allows you to go further, then VRBO's Customer Support may have a point, otherwise you may have been right all along.
Yes I tried it on my office desktop computer as well. Same screen shot. It
is bizarre. I have been looking through dozens and dozens of posting of
unhappy vrbo users and it seems to have started in October of 2011. My 2
properties have been rented long term and only recently did my calendar open
up. So I have had inquiries but could not update my calendar. After 3 email
exchanges and me all but reinitializing my computers did the ³switch
property² tab finally show my other property so I was able to update that
But then when I tried to list my aunts property the same thing occurred!!
And now no one has responded to my emails!
I own and run 2 businesses BY MYSLEF without support staff and do ALL of my
own bookkeeping and quarterly tax returns so it is a mystery to me how my
emails can go unanswered for so many days! I would be OUT OF BUSINESS if I
gave my clients the same service(:O
I will not renew, that¹s for sure and I believe I am not alone!
How about suggesting to Customer Support to give you a call and allow Support to login to your website by providing your credentials (you can change it after the call) and have them perform the things you were doing to see if the result is the same? If Support experiences the same thing using his/her own computer, then you would have prove to them the issue lies at VRBO.
How about I just stop wasting my time and use my other sites which are either free or a fraction if the price of VRBO and give me the same or better results and when enough of us do that VRBO will be the one seeking our return to their site. I have a feeling you are part of their organization. I have done extensive research on the acquisition of VRBO by HomeAway and it has been very enlightening. The CEO used to work at Bain. How timely(

I am with you -- they just stink!
Read how HA/VRBO is profiting from the homeowners that list on the various sites.
This year I have decided to let both my VRBO and HomeAway listings expire. I am on FlipKey on a month to month. We are doing extensive renovations on our home this winter. When we are done, I am going to test VRBO/HomeAway by changing all of my information to see if that puts me higher on the list at a lower rate. I can put my husbands name and set up a new email address just for my listings. I have 2 friends in my area that recently started renting out their homes, paid less for their listings and were higher up on the list. When I questioned VRBO/HomeAway about the rates, they gave me the usual run around. When I let the listings expire, they called me 3 or 4 times wanting to know why. I told them if they had listened when I called them they would know why. I will let you all know how things turn out.
Under the old VRBO system I had previous paid more to add extra photos to my listing - as I felt the standard allowance of 6 photos was too little. When my subscription came up for renewal, there was the new allowance of 20 photos are standard; however, I was not given the option of paying the 'classic' rate - even though this had gone up by $50. To get this, I had to call VRBO and do a 'manual' renewal. By doing this I saved about $150 - or around 40%.
As the VRBO report mentions, more and more members are doing automatic renewal. Threrefore many will renew at a rate that is higher than they need to - increasing VRBO's profits.
Under the new system, owners not only have to make their homes as attractive a possible to compete for guests ( which is normal), they are encouraged to compete against each other by paying higher and higher amounts to move up the listings.
Of course, if everyone took out a classic subscription, ratings would have to be done on more meaningful critea like: keeping the calendar up-to-date; having guest reviews etc.
Owners competing against each other like this is a road to nowhere, apart from paying more and increasing VRBO's profits.

I've decided to shift my paradigm and am taking a different approach. Even though I said I wouldn't, I'm renewing but I'm also buying vrbo/homeaway shares. I figure I might as well partake in the profit sharing that I pay for indirectly AND realize that my vrbo premium is paid for by just a 3-night stay......so....I am currently on flipkey, travelocity, vacationhomerental, craigslist and vrbo, however 90% of my executed leases are a result of vrbo...It's arithmetic! lol
Hi Medinahair,
It sounds like you have a good plan. You mentioned that you are on Travelocity! Do you run a hotel or can homeowners list their properties on Travelocity?
Thanks, Doug
Oh sorry! I meant Tripadvisor nor Travelocity! I am still on my "free trial" but even though I get a lot of inquiries I have only secured 1 executed lease.

Improper Release of PHI Draws Criminal Indictment
A physician in Virginia has been criminally indicted and charged with three counts of violating HIPAA in connection with release of protected health information ("PHI") to a patient's employer. This criminal charge is unique in that it does not allege that the physician released the PHI for personal gain. Instead, the charges are based on the fact that improper release was made "under the false pretenses that the disclosure of said information was necessary . . . . " Specifically, the physician knew that the patient was not a serious and imminent threat to the safety of the public, but used that as a basis upon which to release the PHI to the patient's employer.
This indictment demonstrates that the government will pursue criminal charges if it disagrees with a health care provider's rationale for releasing PHI. Health care providers should continue to carefully adhere to their HIPAA privacy policies when releasing any PHI, and consult with legal counsel in the event that they are unsure whether a release of PHI is permitted under HIPAA.

Allows Campuses to Monitor and Record Live Video
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2008--Blackboard Inc.
(Nasdaq: BBBB) has announced a new campus security solution,
Blackboard Video Surveillance(TM), which will be part of the
Blackboard Commerce Suite(TM), a suite of applications supporting
campus payment and security management.
Blackboard Video Surveillance is part of a complete security
management suite offered by Blackboard that also includes access
control and mass notification modules. Blackboard Video Surveillance
allows campus administrators to view live or recorded video over their
campus network. With sophisticated image zooming, frame by frame
playback, and a configurable screen layout, Blackboard Video
Surveillance is an easy-to-use solution that meets the growing need
among college administrators to secure their campus environment.
"Universities have historically had to conduct separate
evaluations for the various components of campus security, ultimately
implementing technology from multiple vendors and performing their own
system integrations," said Russ Carlson, Blackboard Commerce
President. "With the addition of video surveillance to our existing
access control and mass notification capabilities, Blackboard now has
a complete security offering. Our mass notification and video
surveillance solutions take advantage of recent advances in
technology. Mass notification is moving from text-based to multi-modal
communication, which has shown to be more reliable and effective.
Video surveillance is moving from analog cameras to cameras based on
standard internet protocols, which allows campuses to manage the
system using the same network, server infrastructure, and management
techniques already in place for their other enterprise applications."
Blackboard Video Surveillance is a powerful and highly flexible
-- Images can be mapped to any authorized desktop on a continual
or exception basis and stored locally, on network drives or
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs);
-- The system can also initiate automatic notification of events
via email, PDA or text message, and can include an attached
video clip of the event;
-- Supporting cameras from nearly all major manufacturers,
Blackboard Video Surveillance can provide real-time
customizable views of live pictures, with the ability to
deploy an unlimited number of cameras across campus.

A crucial difference between biblical Christianity and all "new age" movements, including witchcraft (black or white) and paganism (ancient or modern) is that Christianity is not preoccupied with protecting "Mother Nature." Reverence for nature is not Christian teaching, even though respect for God's creation is. To misquote slightly a well-known saying of Jesus, "The natural world was made for human beings, not human beings for the natural world." Ecology, or the protection of the human environment, is important to Christians only when it is precisely that—the protection of the human environment. The world is not ours to abuse, for when we abuse it we abuse one another and, in the long run, ourselves. Yet the world emphatically is ours to use. "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it," God told Adam and Eve. "Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground" (Gen 1:28). It is no accident that technology has flourished in the "Christian" West more than anywhere else in the world.

Step 1: Materials needed
- Pole and attachments ( curtain pole or pipe fittings, screws).
- Strong metal saucepan or utensil hanging hooks
- Compost of a good quality moisture holding type.
- Selection of plants or seeds... e.g. mixed leaf salad, herbs,sorrel, peas, mini tomatoes.
- Piece of wood 2"x2" as long as the width of the pocket store to keep the base of pockets away from the wall.
- Trough planter to catch drips.
Step 2: Attach pole to shed or wall
You could use a curtain pole.
Make sure it is at the correct height especially if you want to grow plants in a trough below ( see step 7). This uses the surplus water from the pockets above.
Step 3: Attach hanging shoe store
Step 4: Test drainage
Step 5: Fill each pocket with compost
Step 6: Add plants or seeds
- herbs thyme, sorrel, chives
- salad mixed leaf, mustard, cut and come again, or spinach
- minibel tomatoes
- 'petit pois peas you can eat the young leaflets and tendrils
I'm going to try this , this spring... I bought some cups to go inside the holders to give them more strength because I bought my shoe hanger at the Dollar store so I'm not sure of the quality??? I'll take a picture as soon as the 6 feet of snow melts this spring... :(
Wow you are a genius!!! That would be perfect for lettuce! Where I live, it doesn't warm up much till mid June, I think I will try to find an organizer that is made in a darker color so the sun warms the seeds and get's em' growing sooner.
I think that my only concern would be keeping birds from nesting in it, but if you have cats that should be no problem!

has anyone else tried peppers?
This is an AWESOME AWESOME IDEA I love it!! Now I feel dumb for tossing out our old shoe organizer!
I used non breathable as it retained the moisture better . But have a go and experiment with what you can find and the children will be able to observe and learn . Good luck You may not get vast crops but is a good way of saving space and sparking an interest
Thanks so much! I had no idea what to do with the one sunny corner I have on my patio, and this is my answer! I couldn't drill into my patio wall, so I had to be really creative about how I hung the organizer. For those who can't mount a curtain rod or similar mounting hardware for any reason, I've found strap ties are strong enough to hold the weight of the plants and flexible enough to be bent into most requisite shapes.
In september I'm moving from a house with a yard to an apartment. I'm trying to figure out if I could modify this to be an indoor project and get some green inside my new apartment.
Good luck
Thanks for the great idea!
note: if you are at all considering eating the fruits of your labor; there are natural fertilizers and companion plants to aid in pest control instead of the chemical stuff.
do you plant them in the same pockets or would you plant them around all the outer pockets, thereby providing a kind of barrier?
I am struggling since I moved to a totally new climate than I am used to. Most of my life in a desert, new how to grow there, or in the Military, but now I am in a condo, small lanai (porch sort of) lots of shade in my area. I have one pocket of sun however the homeowners association is so terribly picky about these things, so I am pondering how to make them happy, yet provide vertical growing space for me.
I dont have much for tools, might have to borrow, however I was thinking of making a "homeowners association" read: pretty enough to make the people that have naught better to do than pick on people trying to add beauty in plants and vegi's happy. Perhaps a wooden variation of this? if I could find enough scrap wood, perhaps I can paint it with some "green" paint that wont leech into the plants, then hope that will work. Not simple, but I have no other solutions *sigh* Plenty of space in the shadow area of the lanai but the veggies wont care for that so much.

Beer and yellow jackets
Hello friends,
Another Friday night at the cabin. Some things just go together...you know like popcorn and butter, french fries and ketchup, rock and roll, guns and bullets, oh ya...yellow jackets and beer. The crisp summer evening evolved as I consumed a few liquid refreshments. Sitting back I surmised it was an opportune time to accost the resident drones. These cantankerous insects will go to great length protecting the paper nest they call home. The problem...they constructed their abode in the mist of mine. Indulging in another barley pop seem to give me audacity or maybe the daftness to invade their space. Things got real interesting. Five beers and five nest sure seemed like even odds at the time. So there I was standing in boxer shorts, 10 feet up on the ladder, a long stick an flashlight in one hand, bee spray in the other. Now I have no issue admitting that I was a bit apprehensive When the first intense buzzing started and that dam moth hit my arm, I ran away quicker than loose bowels stricken with dysentery. Gathering my wits I approached ground zero with intention of complete eradication, theirs or mine. After several more minutes of fervent "battle of the bee's," I returned to the front deck to finish my beer while reflecting, contented with the fact that I had not one sting and I was the one with the buzz.

My fifth offering from Harpoon. One of the first dunkels I've tried as well. Rich brown color with a lighter tan head than I'd expect. Chocolatey mocha flavor. Deep body, rich like a porter. Soft mouthfeel, though a bit grainy. Burnt aroma, pretty nice.

On tap at the Old Toad in Rochester, NY.
Pours a solid medium-dark brown, with a one inch head, wisps of lacing down the glass.
Smells include toasted malt and chocolate, predominantly. Some weak coffee, maybe.
Similar taste. Great toasty malt flavors that aren't too strong, plus come cocoa powder. A bit nutty, with some vague coffee flavors. Slightly bitter.
Light to medium bodied, crisp mouthfeel, low carbonation.
A great Munich dunkel, don't have much experience with these, but I liked it.

12 oz bottle poured into pilsener glass.
A - Pours a very dark brown, with some dark ruby showing at the bottom. Small bubbles of carbonation appear at the bottom. A 1/2 inch cocoa-colored head formed after a somewhat aggressive pour. A fair amount of lacing stuck to the glass. Nice looking beer.
S - Lot's of dark malts up front, along with some Munich malt, but to a lesser extent. Cocoa/chocolate was also noted quite heavily up front. An ever-so-slight floral hop aroma poked through towards the end as well. Nice smelling beer.
T - Not a bad dark lager. The malts and cocoa noted in the aroma are strongly present up front. At the beginning of the swallow I began to notice some coffee notes, as well as some toffee/caramel. Could've sworn I also noted some figs and other dark fruits when it warmed a bit. Suprising to notice those flavors. I wouldn't mind it being slightly less sweet, though. That drags my rating down just a bit.
F - It's a good beer to enjoy in the fall and/or winter. It's a bit thick and I probably wouldn't session with it. As I said, it'd be a good beer to enjoy outside in those seasons, and could certainly warm you up. Easy enough on the stomach and throat though, if you did decide to session with it.
O - A very solid dark lager. Full of great flavors without being too heavy, although I wouldn't mind it being slightly less sweet. A great fall/winter beer, highly recommended for dark lager or dark beer in general fans.

22oz Boyle was poured into a pint glass.
Appearance: This beer poured a one finger off mocha head that reduced to a thin layer. It is a dark brown color with some clarity when held up to light and bubbles can be seen coming up through the glass.
Smell: Caramel, roasted, bready, and chocolate malts.
Taste: Roasted coffee and chocolate is most noticeable. Caramel and bready factors in there too. Mild hops in the end.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, chewy, medium to full bodied, low to medium carbonation, and a little creamy.
Overall: Mmmm, dunkel beer. This is a style that I love every once in a while. I have been enjoying this one for many years and more to come.

It's nearing a year old, so...
Pours a clear deep brown with dark caramel highlights and a fleeting dark cream head that dissipates into nothing.
Deeply caramelized malt, chocolate, nutty notes, and light roast form the aroma.
Flavor is toastier initially, with roast malt, caramel, and slightly burnt toast weighing in later. Chocolate pervades throughout, though not sweet. Somewhat mocha. There's a slight coffee finish.
Body is moderate, with low carbonation and light astringency.
Roasty, toasty, caramelly, slightly sweet, and slightly bitter. Earthy hops underlie the flavor, but cave to the malt.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
Appearance: Arrives at the bar with the translucent dark brown liquid capped by an inch of foam; some strands of lacing squiggle down the pint glass
Smell: Toasted brown bread and caramel
Taste: Toasted brown bread and caramel, up front, with chocolate tones developing in the middle; chocolate builds, after the swallow, though the finish has the grainy character I often taste in lagers
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with crisp carbonation
Overall: A really fine example of the style - one that is rarely brewed by domestic breweries

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Purchased in a mix pack in Wakefield, RI
A- Pours a beautifully clear, dark russet colored body with a 2" white head that reduces fairly quickly and leaves little lacing.
S- Big toffee and caramel aromas. Roasted malt and bread.
T- Follows the nose big time with toffee, vanilla, caramel and a slightly smokey aftertaste.
M- Medium to medium-light body, medium low carbonation. Super quenching and drinkable.
Overall a solid beer! I was pleasantly surprised the first time I had it, so I had to review the second one to spread the word. I'm picturing it as a perfect pair for a savory chicken or turkey dish.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a dark cola color. The head isn't particularly impressive; it's a one finger light mocha shade that fades away to a gimpy-looking film quickly.
S: Mild roasted grains, some faint chocolate, nuts, butterscotch, and slight fruity esters. A decent aroma that only suffers only from its mild strength.
T: There's an initial hit of roasted coffee, before it finishes with some nutty malts and some stone fruit esters. Not complex or particularly interesting, but it's easy drinking and pleasant.
M: Superbly clean and crisp. Apart from a slight lingering fruity note from the lager yeast, this is as bone dry as it gets. I really like the feel here.
O: I had this one last year and hated it. Having it now, it's less awful and more ho-hum. Still, it does a solid job of hitting the qualities a dark lager should.

a good fall beer. this is a munich style dark ale, meaning a bigger sweeter malt profile and a yeast strain with a bit of spice to it. the nose is quite roasty, with some cocoa and caramel notes, a little dusty on the malt end, but not in a stale way. i taste some lighter german pilsner malts, which makes sense. some chocolate flavors and a little residual sugar despite a dry finish. overall a rich yet drinkable brew, a good addition to the winter mix 12er, and a beer im happy to have quite a few of. full body, a little filling, but good carbonation lightens things up. overall a satisfying beer from harpoon.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Samuel Smith's Tulip Pint Glass.
Appearance: A good looking dark, yet not completely opaque beer. Head isn't particularly big, but it stuck around for a bit.
Smell: Didn't get much, a little earthy.
Taste: Reminds me a lot of semi-sweet chocolate. The tail-end of a swallow is slightly bitter, but the sweetness is still evident. Actually pretty refreshing, which I wasn't necessarily expecting the first time I tried this. This gets better every time I have one.
Mouthfeel: Probably the best aspect of this beer. Very smooth, reasonable carbonation. Something to savor, but still easily drinkable.
Overall: I think this is a grower. First time I tried it I wasn't a huge fan, but I came back and Harpoon Dark and I are becoming pretty good friends. Very drinkable for a dark beer, which is always nice.

Harpoon Dark Lager is a really great beer that is a nice midway point between a stout and a lighter lager. It pours a very dark brown, but not quite black, closely resembling Coca-Cola when poured with a small white head on top and very minima lacing on the glass. The head dissipates very quickly, but a small ring of foam will remain at the top of the beer as you drink it. The smell is an interesting combination of coffee, some chocolate and maybe even a hint of nuttiness. The taste is nice and malty like a lager should be with a roasted and kinda smoky taste up front. The aftertaste is the nice hint of chocolate that it says on the bottle with the slightest hint of bitterness (thus the little bit of stout hints.) Harpoon Dark has a great mouthfeel, not too carbonated and very drinkable with that small bit of chocolate flavor. You can definitely have a few of these and really savor the unique flavor of this great beer. Dare I use the word session here Bryan and Nate?

Growler pour into a pint glass.
Pours a clear medium brown with a half finger white head. Ok head retention and lacing for being out of a growler.
Aroma of roasted malt and toast. Some caramel is evident along with grassy hops and dark fruit.
The flavor is much like the aroma although has much more depth. Toast and roasted malt is very prominent up front but there is a nice grassy hop backbone. Biscuit and vanilla are underneath along with some dark fruit and a little bit of wood. Mouthfeel is crisp and somewhat drying without the least hint of cloying sweetness.
Overall, I really like this beer. A great thirst quencher with plenty of flavor. This is nicely done by Harpoon and is probably my favorite beer from them that I have tried so far.

Poured in a pilsner glass
A- pours a dark chestnut-brown with with a ruby hue, small tan foamy head with good retention and lacing.
S- dark smoky roasted malt with notes if coffee and dark chocolate, cereal grains, smoked pork and just a bit of hops. Bold aromas.
T- strong malts with bold roasted notes, coffee, chocolate, and grainy cracker. Finishes smoky and somewhat dry with just a enough hops on the backend to balance it out.
M- light-med body, low carbonation, slightly foamy mouthfeel.
O- this one is malty and delicious, the smoky notes makes for some bold flavors. This would pair well with food, but dies just fine in its own. One of my favorites from Harpoon.

12 ounce bottle into pilsener glass, best before 4/15/2012. Pours crystal clear reddish brown color with a small 1 finger tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Good spotty lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of big caramel, toffee, nuttiness, biscuit, chocolate, vanilla, toast, and light fruitiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity. Taste of caramel, chocolate, toffee, biscuit, nuttiness, toast, herbal, roast, and light dark fruits. Lingering notes of caramel, chocolate, herbal, toast, nuttiness, toffee, and light fruitiness. Nice balance and complexity of flavors; with no cloying sweetness at all. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a great Munich Dunkel! Nice flavor balance and robustness; and very smooth to drink. Really enjoyed this, and this might be my choice for an easily available dunkel in the future.

22 oz bomber pours a dark crimson color with a thick, creamy cap of tan head. Nice retention and lacing. It's a pretty darn good looking brew.
Nose is black licorice, unsweetened chocolate, mace and maybe a little smoke even. Interesting blend of malty aromas with very little hop or yeast presence.
Taste rounds out a simpler cocoa and light roast maltiness with a smooth, dry finish. This is a pretty good stab at a Dunkel, Harpoon did a good job of keeping it simple and fresh. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side and the sweetness is lower than typical for the style, but those are pretty minor complaints. At 2.99 a bomber, this is a god deal. I have not seen this in sixers, but if I saw it at around 8 bucks, Id return to this one fairly often...especially with the much appreciated best by date. Props to you Harpoon, well done!

Once more into the breach of tone77's bottles! I may crack open a CAN of something later today just to stay focused.
From the bottle: "Our Munich Dark honors the classic Bavarian style. Rich color, balanced maltiness, and a moderate hop finish; a full body with a surprisingly delicate mouthfeel. Enjoy!"
My moderate pour still managed to produce a massive two-plus fingers of rocky, light-tan head with decent retention. Color was a deep mahogany-brown with NE-quality clarity and a good bit of carbonation in evidence. Nose was chocolaty, more like milk chocolate than dark chocolate, though. Mouthfeel was slightly full, thanks to all of the carbonation and the taste was of a mild chocolate, definitely not roasty. Finish was likewise pleasant and chocolaty. It was not a bad beer, but as a self-avowed hophead, I would not want more than a couple of these at a time.

A - Pours dark brown, ruby shows in the light, with a two finger head. Dissipates to a light cap and nice sticky lacing.
S - Earthy malts and piney hops take up most of the aroma, with chocolate and possibly a slight coffee in the background.
T - Light medley of chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit. Hops and bitterness shown through on the swallow and linger for a bit.
M - Medium body and carbonation.
O - A nice beer, but could use bolder flavor. Good if you were looking for something on the lighter side of dark brews. Would probably have again if given the chance.

Have been sitting on this beer for about a month an have been eager to review it. Comes in a Bomber!
A: Nice, dark color with a thin foamy white head. Kind of looks like a Pepsi without the fizz.
S: Subtle hop aroma with a hint of chocolate, not much to the smell.
T: The taste leads with chocolate and is balanced out with a variety of specialty hops and maybe a hint of toffee, not too complex of a taste.
M: This is a velvety smooth beer that is very drinkable, not much carbonation or lacing to speak of.
O: Overall, not the quality of a stout but more like a porter. A decent beer that is light bodied besides the tint, not very heavy on the mouth at all. Not something I would seek out again, but a good beer to try for Harpoon fans or if your experimenting!

Pours a light fluffy fizzy almost 1 finger head that fades at a med pace with bits of lacing, over dark black with the slightest hints of light sneaking through.
Nose has dark chalky malts, hint of cocoa and milk chocolate, slight earthy nutty aroma like herbal hops, a light smoked malt and hint of roasted like malt, bit of carafa and dark crystal malts, and a light lager crispness.
Taste starts with more dark malts, slight chalky dark malts, with some roasted malt that gets a bit overpowering with some tinny charred malted metallic like flavors, and hint of a smoke like flavor. Then light chocolate almost Cocoa Crispies like chocolate, some cheaper dark chocolate, powdered chocolate, plenty of caramel as well. It tries to bring a lager crispness but just gets drowned out by the malts. Bitterness starts to build a bit from the herbal earthy hops, but also from the roasted malts. The finish dries quite a bit though and gets slightly crisper, a light lager finish, with plenty of lingering bitterness that ramps, some sticky caramel, cocoa, and bit of roast, all lingering for quite a while.
Mouth is med to slight lighter bodied for what the full flavor pack it, um, packs... with decent carb.
Overall not bad, a bit overpowering with malts and hops that it kinda loses the whole lager part, but that does lighten the body, dry the finish, and make it much more drinkable than I think it would if it were a dark ale. The dark malts do add nice characters, and hops are decent, and the beer is fairly drinkable. So overall pretty good, for Harpoon especially.

12oz bottle served in a SA "perfect pint" glass. (best by 04/15/11)
pours a mostly opaque dark brown with lighter brown highlights yielding an even finger of a foamy/creamy head, khaki in color. decent head retention; good lacing.
malty nose with some notes of hops, a touch of coffee. okay - maybe slightly above average - but nothing to write home about on this count.
flavor is dominated by roasted maltiness... some toastiness and a hint of the coffee, maybe caramel. shades of an american stout. finish is mostly clean, though there are subdued notes of hops.
medium bodied, medium carbed mouthfeel. goes down fairly easily; not going to send your taste buds to utter bliss but it's flavorful enough that it keeps you interested, but not so much that the palate becomes fatigued.

Appearance: Pours a dark, muddy brown. Huge chocolate milk-like head coming out of the bottle, dissapated quickly.
Smell: Toasted malt, not overbearing though nothing special.
Taste: Delicious! Toasted malts with a slightly bitter finish. A very well-balanced beer. I'm going to have to find more in this style.
Mouthfeel: Lightly carbonated, heavy, sticky, but very easy to drink. I thought it might be a little to warm out for this beer, but I was wrong.
Overall: Another intereting beer in a style I have only had once. Still,I greatly enjoyed this one from Harpoon. A well-balanced beer that was easy to drink. I'll be coming back to Harpoon Dark the next time I get a chance.

12 oz. pretty dark brown, nice 2 fingers of cream head.
Aroma, chocolate malt, tea, peat.
Taste, a nice chocolatey, earthy malt mix. Not subdued though in that German lager sort of way. Finish light toast, caramel, cocoa. More flavor than the norm for the style.
Nearly mid bodied, with solid carbonation. Nearly creamy. Drinks very well.
One of the more enjoyable dunkels I've had. Liked it more tha Old Mecklenburgs, and theirs is pretty good.

Purchased: Single from Whole Foods, Nashville
The color is a dark brown, with ruby highlights. The tan head sits 3 or 4 fingers high and leaves good lacing with a good amount of retention.
Smells are mainly based on the malts: caramel and chocolate. I also get some fruitiness from the yeast.
Taste follows the aroma - big chocolate flavor with some supporting caramel and roasted malts. Bitterness is light. The taste is very much like a porter or stout. After my tasting I saw that this beer uses an ale yeast, which would explain some of the ale qualities.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with a medium body and carbonation as well. The finish is of toasted grains.
Overall this is a good beer; certainly different due to the mixing of the lager and ale characteristics. I would say I enjoyed it, but would not necessarily want to buy it again.

Those of us who work for and seek a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lost a dear friend and colleague on Friday. Ron Pundak, 59, passed away after a long and courageous battle against cancer.
By Charles R. Bronfman and Yuval Rabin
Published in YNET
As the United States searches for a formula to extend the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, this is a particularly propitious moment to advance a regional architecture to the talks and, by doing so, bolster the prospects of reaching a lasting accord.
Twelve years ago this week, the Arab League adopted the Arab Peace Initiative – first introduced by Saudi Arabia – advancing the promise of normalized relations between Israel and the Arab world in the context of a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace. Since endorsed by the 57 nations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the initiative is notable in its scale, scope and opportunity
However, it remains a promise to be fulfilled upon the conclusion of a peace agreement, not an action plan for obtaining one. That should change.
The Israel Policy Forum (IPF), a Jewish non-government organization that promotes a negotiated two-state solution, warned that "Ya'alon is compromising US-Israeli relations. His obstructionist outbursts simply support a view that Israel is not negotiating in good faith and better serves its critics and those opposed to a lasting peace."
The The Israeli Policy Forum, a pro-peace group with close ties to the Obama Administration, said in a statement that it "condemns recent statements by Ya'alon that insulted the Obama administration and harshly criticized American foreign policy in the Middle East and around the world."
If the present effort to find a resolution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict fails there is little doubt that the Palestinians and their supporters will make a massive attempt to push the BDS program against Israel.
Israel Policy Forum calls on Israel and the Palestinians to do their utmost to alleviate tensions rather than exacerbate them through unduly provocative steps. This should be a time for clear thinking, rational decision making and measured policies.
It is our sincere hope that in the period ahead President Abbas and Prime Minister Netanyahu will each demonstrate leadership, and find a suitable formula to continue negotiations toward a lasting resolution of the conflict. We fully support the continued commitment of Secretary Kerry and President Obama to work to advance this crucial goal.
Israel Policy Forum condemns recent statements by Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon that insulted the Obama administration and harshly criticized American foreign policy in the Middle East and around the world.
For IPF, and for all who knew him and wherever he served, Ambassador Lewis was a wise and sympathetic advisor, a man of enormous acuity and perspicacity, and a person who could discuss the weightiest issues with aplomb and balance.
The Israel Policy Forum (IPF) applauds Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) today, in which he described the regional benefits of a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
On Wednesday, April 9 at 2 PM ET IPF hosted an on-the-record conversation with Jeffrey Goldberg, columnist for Bloomberg View, on the latest developments concerning the US-led negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.
Israel Policy Forum promotes active U.S. engagement to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and peace and security for Israel with the Palestinians and the Arab states.

Pirates Score 23 Runs in Doubleheader Sweep Over Saints
Contact: Steve Cunha, firstname.lastname@example.com
SAVANNAH, GA – The North Georgia baseball team struggled to put hits together and their pitchers got roughed up on Saturday afternoon as they were swept by Armstrong in Peach Belt Conference action at Pirate Field.
For the first time since last March, the Saints (11-7 3-5 PBC) dropped both games of a conference doubleheader, while Armstrong (13-5, 4-4 PBC) won their third straight conference game after starting 1-4.
The Pirates jumped on the Saints early in both games, taking the opener 7-0 and game two 16-7.
North Georgia ace Blake Hobby suffered his first loss of the season as he surrendered five runs, while giving up eight hits and lasting just 2.2 innings. It was the first time this season Hobby failed to throw at least six innings for the Saints.
The Pirates jumped on Hobby in the bottom of the first as leadoff hitter Casey Maloney singled to center and stole second to move into scoring position. Maloney would later come around to score on a single by shortstop Alex Frederick.
Armstrong would add another run later in the inning when Hobby hit Cody Powell with the bases loaded to give the Pirates an early 2-0 lead.
Armstrong was back at it again in the bottom of the third when they strung together three straight base hits with two outs to score three more runs and chase Hobby from the contest.
The Pirates would later add insurance runs in both the fourth and seventh innings.
Chandler Hall picked up his second win of the season going the distance and scattering five hits, while striking out four.
Offensively, the Saints were baffled by Hall all afternoon as he retired them in order in five of the nine innings and they recorded more than one hit in an inning just once.
Jordan Erisman was the lone bright spot for North Georgia going 3-4 with a stolen base.
There was once again little to write home about in game two for the Saints as the Pirates exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the third to blow open a one run contest.
Armstrong got on the board early again touching North Georgia starter Jesse Coxwell for two runs in the bottom of the first.
North Georgia cut the deficit in half in the top of the third when Brad Barto led off the inning with an infield single and moved into scoring position after a Derek Hooper sac bunt. Barto later came around to score on an error by the shortstop.
The Pirates responded by scoring seven runs on four hits in the bottom of the frame chasing Coxwell and later reliever Jacob Beauchamp from the contest.
Armstrong wasn't done at the dish as they scored four more runs in the bottom of the fourth to put the game seemingly out of reach.
North Georgia plated two in the top of the fifth when Kenny Bellavance and Tremayne Toorie hit back-to-back two out singles for the Saints. North Georgia continued their rally in the top of the seventh when they scored four runs on four hits.
In the seventh, Toorie and Brian McGrath each got an RBI on back-to-back fielder's choices and Hooper added a two out two run scoring double to right center.
Coxwell got the loss tossing just two innings an allowing five runs (only three of which were earned), while Ethan Bader got the win for the Pirates.
Offensively, Bellvance was 4-5, while Toorie and Hooper each added a pair of RBI's.
The Saints look to avoid the three game sweep tomorrow as they close out the weekend series with the Pirates. First pitch is at 1:00 pm.

Rev. Ingram's grandfather, the late Joe Martin, was pastor at Piedmont Congregational Holiness Church on Hughes Street in the '60s. His uncles, Hollis Martin and James Martin, were preachers.
Monday was a day he'll never forget. He officiated at the funeral of his grandmother Lillian Martin, who was 99 years old.
Rev. Ingram said that his grandmother was a faithful pastor's wife and enjoyed telling him stories of her and Rev. Ingram's grandfather's lives in the ministry.
"I felt a distinct call from God on my life to go into ministry," he said. "It's been a wonderful decision. It's been very fulfilling and rewarding to be in full time ministry. I strive every day to do the work that the Lord has called me to do."
Rev. Ingram is currently working on his master's of divinity at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
"I feel like it will help me as a pastor," he said. "The theological training equips a minister to better serve his congregation."
In January 2000 he filled the position of minister of students and education at First Baptist Church. He has served as pastor since Nov. 11.
Rev. Ingram was born on March 20, 1966, at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas. His father was in the Air Force. The family moved to Piedmont when he was nine months old.
His parents are Art and Linda (Martin) Ingram. His sister, Michelle Franklin, is the city administrator.
He and his wife, the former Brea Gregg, have two children. Grayson is 15 and Bryson is 12. Brea works at Pope Realty.
Rev. Ingram is a graduate of Piedmont High School and Jacksonville State University where he received a bachelor of arts in history and political science.
He enjoys reading and being involved in his children's school and sports activities. He is a member of the Piedmont City School Board.
"I think growing up here in Piedmont has given me a unique perspective as a minister," said Rev. Ingram. "And I think it helps me to understand the ministry needs of the people in Piedmont. It's a huge blessing to be able to be a minister in your hometown to people that you grew up with and people you've looked up to all your life."
Rev. Ingram said he is looking forward to many more years of ministering to the residents in Piedmont.
"I like doing the work of the Lord in our community and our church community," he said. "I want to see us grow and prosper."

We brought our novels and weeks-old People magazines. We packed wine bottles and sexy adult snacks (olives and camembert) in our coolers, fishing rods and hiking shoes in the back of our vehicles. The contents of our bags revealed our expectations of the weekend – so hopeful, so unfussy – testaments to our irrational belief that a multi-family, end-of-summer camping trip would actually allow us adults a moment to kick back.
Leisure is, after all, a relative term when kids are an (equal) part of the equation.
It's funny; even after a couple of kids have completely bulldozed any semblance of the easy simplicity of pre-parenthood adult life, parents like us still seem to hang onto the belief that we can somehow recapture some fragment of our past existence. Like if we plunk our children into the woods, next to a river and a campfire, to run amuck dirt-covered and half-dressed, we will ourselves find a little time to relax. Like somehow, between making sure young children don't get swept away by the river or burned by the campfire, or lost in the woods, we could actually sit down with a glass of wine and a hunk of French cheese to read a trashy magazine.
There is the ideal, which I suppose is a good thing to continue to aspire for, and then there is the real.
And in reality, taking five kids camping is like signing up for a weekend of servitude.
We inevitably roll into camp in the dark, past dinnertime. Elle needs a hat. Where are those mittens I packed her? Here they are. Put these on. No, really, put them on. No? Fine then. Your fingers are going to freeze off.
At least I have one child who can't yet argue with me about what she should wear. But that child will have to spend the rest of the weekend wrapped in a sleeping bag, seeing as I apparently failed to pack any warm clothes for her whatsoever. I have no warm clothes for Emme, but I did bring 42 diapers – enough for a week.
After whipping out a dinner of champions (macaroni and cheese with tuna) for the kids, the decibel level of their communal whining makes it clear that bedtime cannot wait. Not to mention it's freezing outside. I thought it was funny that Craig insisted upon sleeping outside instead of in our cozy camp trailer, alongside my two girls, my girlfriend and her three-year-old, plus the two dogs (one ours, another borrowed.) I realize at about 3 a.m., as I hover blanket-less on the edge of the too-small bed where my girls are sprawled, listening to one dog scratching the door to get out while the other whines to be let back in, how smart my husband was in deciding to sleep outside in the frost.
At about noon the next day, after potty duty then feeding duty then diaper-changing duty then dish duty then locating shoes duty then removing splinters duty, I get out of my pajamas. I want to brush my teeth, but realize Elle has dropped my toothbrush in the dirt.
The dads say they'll take two of the older kids fishing, while the moms take the others for a hike. Superb idea, we all agree – not that the dads stand any real chance of catching a fish, or that the moms will actually hike very far. I can't tell if the couple who meet us on the trail are irritated by our singing "The ants go marching," or if they're simply traumatized by the sound of the wailing infants hanging in various contraptions off our bodies.
We all meet back at camp for nap time, which is code for cocktail hour. Except that between pee-pee accidents (I am starting to realize I didn't bring enough clothes for Elle, either,) and attempting to dissipate squabbles concerning the ownership of one apparently essential toy cement mixer truck, my drink is left unattended and eventually becomes the final resting grounds for a hornet. No one, child or adult, feels very rested after nap time.
In what could be considered the most herculean act of the weekend, between the five adults we manage to make an "adult" dinner: Farmer's Market lamb kabobs, cooked over the campfire. But when dinner is ready, we aren't.
Craig is washing Derek's muddy hands in the river. Dave is chasing Allegra away from the fire. Kam took Elle to the bathroom. Kalee took Emme down the road in hopes she would quit screaming. I am looking for the aforementioned cement mixer with Grayson.
At some point, all of our missions culminate back near the tablecloth-covered picnic table, where I had, in a delusional moment, lit a candle for what I had imagined (in another delusional moment) would be our nice, sit-down, adult dinner. Someone manages to fill five glasses with wine.
Before another cement mixer fight breaks out, or someone starts crying, pees their pants or gets a splinter, we cheers. We may not be the group in control, but at least we're in this parenting adventure together.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
