Conversations with the Peanut Gallery
Too many infomercials perhaps??
Anna: Mommy, I have an idea. We can use oxyclean stainfighter. It gets the tough stains out, even the hardest ones.
Lauren: Yeah, even blueberry. Action Stain Clean Fighter is some sort of powder.
Anna: Guess what! Mr. Steamy is cool. You put him in the washer with some flower smelling spray and he gets off the stains. He irons them and he makes them smell good. Mr. steamy can do those three things in one wash!
Watching a show about the Titanic:
Anna: Are ships girls or boys?
Doug: All ships are girls.
Lauren: What about boats?
Doug: Yes, boats too.
Lauren: What about canoes?
Watching a show on" Animal Planet"
Lauren: "Look, everybody, pokey-pines!"
Anna: I think there is an animal kingdom and the king is a giraffe.
Despite our constant reminders to avoid snakes, Lauren killed a snake in the street the other day with a tennis racket. She then picked it up and put it in our garbage can where it revived as she had apparently only knocked it out for a moment.
Anna: Daddy, can we get a car with a TV in it?
Doug: No.
Anna and Lauren: Why not?
Doug: I don't believe in it.
Anna and Lauren: But they're real, Daddy. They're real.
Jacob doesn't want to sleep in his own bed anymore. He's determined to be in bed with Mommy and Daddy. Putting him in his crib the other night we had the following conversation:
Jacob: Bay-ed
Me: You want a band-aid?
Jacob: Bay-ed.
Me: You want a family band? (We've been playing a lot of music recently).
Jacob: Bay-ED!!
Me: Bed? Mommy and Daddy's bed? Is that what you want?
Jacob: Want!!
Lauren: I wonder when I'll be old enough to go to the moon. I'm gonna bring my bike along and go to all the planets and that one with the ring around it.
Anna: That's Saturn.
Lauren: Yeah, I'm gonna take my bike to Saturn and when you see writing in the sky that will be me.
Looking for a particular chapter in a Harry Potter book for Anna:
Anna: Mommy, just look at the continents. (Table of contents)
Where did we go wrong:
Lauren is so intent on contributing to her school's recycling program that I have to stop her from emptying unused water bottles, ketchup bottles, and jugs of milk.
Thurman is hard of hearing now and we have to shine a flashlight at him to get him to come in for the night. He can't hear us call.
I tried to put my tennis shoes on yesterday and found a ¼ cup measuring cup in my right shoe with a ¼ cup of raisins in my left.
Jacob keeps trying to clean the toilet in his diaper and his sister's tap shoes.
The phone rang at 0530 the other day. It scared me because normally a call at that hour implies bad news is coming. Anna and I answered at the same time, she on the downstairs phone. A man's voice said, "Hey, Baby."
Anna said, "Hello? Hello?"
Me(to Anna): Anna hang up the phone. I have it.
Me (to caller): I'm sorry but you have the wrong number.
Caller: Naw, naw. You're the girl I met last night that I paid to (fill in the blanks here).
Anna: Who is this, Mommy?
Me (to Anna): ANNA, HANG UP THE PHONE NOW!!
Caller: Wait, baby, what's your name…Anna? Yeah, Anna is the girl I met last night.
Anna: Mommy, he said my name. It's for me.
Me: ANNA, HANG UP THE PHONE NOW!!!
We both hung up and he called right back.
Me: STOP calling this number.
Anna: Who is it Mommy?
Caller: Is this Anna?
Me: ANNA, HANG UP THE PHONE NOWWWWWWWWW!!!
I called my stepmom and asked her to talk to me for a few minutes until he got bored and gave up. Afterwards I tried to explain to the girls that just because someone calls us doesn't necessarily mean they know us or are good people. Later in the day the phone rang and the caller hung up. Lauren said, "Mommy, it might be that unwell-mannered man again.
Christmas goodies:
We asked the grandparents to only send one gift this year to each child as we just are overrun with toys. Anna wasn't too happy with this plan. I overheard her on the phone with my mom.
Anna: Nana, I only have five presents under the tree. Can you send me more?
On our way out of the parking lot heading toward the Nutcracker:
Lauren: Wow, look at those highscapers.
Making gingerbread cookies and houses:
Me: Girls, I'm going upstairs to get ready for our playdate. Don't let Jakie get into the cookies. A few minutes later, I walked back downstairs to find several legs eaten off of unbaked gingerbread men as well as all of my roofs and two doors devoured by our busy boy.
This year my dad and stepmom sent the kids 12 envelopes for the 12 days of Christmas with dollars bills rolled up for each day (for example: Day 1: $1, Day 2: $2, Day 3: $3, etc.) At the end of the 12 days the kids split the money and each were left with $26. A few days later, the kids got Christmas cards in the mail. Anna opened hers and said, "Where's the money?" Lauren said, "Yeah, all they sent were words."
Watching a show about the life of Jesus a few days prior to Christmas, we learned that (according to Anna) Jesus was crucified by the Germans because he was political trouble for them.
Looking at "Bible Stories for Little Eyes" and a picture of the Three Wise Men at the manger holding gold, frankincense, and myrrh, Lauren said, "Oh, look. They're taking pictures with their cameras."
Jacob on Christmas Day:
Me: Jacob, say "Merry Christmas!"
Jacob: "Cheese!"
Anna talking to Doug about her new Barbie Video Girl Santa gave her:
Doug: Have you been taking videos?
Anna: Yes, but I've deleted them all.
Doug: Why?
Anna: Because I want to keep the news fresh.
Wrapping last minute presents while Doug and the girls were sledding, I ran out of paper and ran upstairs to get some more. When I came back down, Jacob had the scissors at the Christmas tree cutting all of my garlands in two. At least now, they cover the whole tree and not just the lower half.
After eating beef tenderloin on Christmas day:
Anna: What animal is this?
Doug: A cow.
Anna: Ooh.
Lauren: What other animals do we eat?
Doug: Pig, deer, lamb, sloth.
Anna: We don't eat sloth, Daddy.
Doug: Sure we do. Haven't you ever heard of cole "sloth"?
Lauren checked the oatmeal we sprinkled on the lawn the night before to guide Santa's reindeer to our yard: "Mommy, I checked the oatmeal and it looks like the reindeer nibbled on it!"
The day after Christmas:
Doug: Sandy, have you seen the large key ring with all of the spare keys on it?
Me: I used it to take the kids to school a couple of weeks ago because I couldn't find my keys.
Doug: So, where did you put it when you were done? Is it in a coat pocket somewhere?
Me: I don't think so. I thought I put them back where they go.
After a few minutes of frantic searching:
Me: Girls, have you seen the big ring of keys?
Anna: No.
Lauren: Yes.
Me (to Lauren): You have?
Lauren: Yes.
Me: Where are they, baby?
Lauren: I buried them.
Me: You buried them?
Lauren: Yes.
Me: Um, where did you bury them?
Lauren: In the back yard.
Dear family,
Merry Christmas! It's the joyfull day a savior was born! It's also time to thank Santa, and open presents, and a feast! Let's start! Hooray!
P.S. hugs and kisses
See you all in the New Year! Best Wishes!

Happy, Happy Birthday to our smallest family member! Sweet Jacob turned two today.
He has a lot to say these days. His favorite words are Bahnd-daid, Tuh-tel, Hey, Mine, Mama, Dada, Anna, Lornen, Tank-too (thank you), Pease, Sah-wee and always responds to "I love you" with the word "Too".
He slides down the stairs on his tummy faster than either Doug or I can run down them.
He is a very adventurous boy and climbs like a monkey...on everything. He's fearless.

Merry Christmas!
"Inside the snow globe on my father's desk, there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf. When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe. He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin. The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him. When I told my father this, he said, "Don't worry, Susie; he has a nice life. He's trapped in a perfect world."
— Alice Sebold (The Lovely Bones)
We spent most of our Christmas day indoors and I felt like we were trapped in our own little version of a perfect world. The kids played very hard today, beginning at 2:00 am. That was when we received our first "Can we go downstairs yet?" request. We sent Anna back to bed but she and Lauren were back at the foot of our bed at 4:41 am asking again. We knew they were too excited to sleep so we grabbed the baby and headed downstairs. There was a present frenzy, followed by lots of laughter and play. We all got new bikes this year, each bike suited to its new owner. Anna has a blue bike with flowers, ribbons, and a basket while Lauren's bike is neon green and black. Doug and I got a Townie and a Trek and Jacob even got his own little cart. Since it was still too early for a bike ride, Anna set to work putting together her Rapunzel tower with help from Daddy, while Lauren and Jacob headed into the dark bathroom for an epic lightsabre battle. I made cinnamon roll filled pancakes (in my new ebelskiver pan) for breakfast and put the beef tenderloin in the marinade. Doug spent the morning putting together a princess tower, a bigfoot, a tent and tunnel, a basketball hoop, a tricycle, remote controlled bumper cars, and teaching Lauren chords on her new guitar. The weather finally cleared and Doug and the kids headed out for a bike ride in front of the house. We spent the rest of the day eating and napping and playing. It was a great day and only could have been better if we could have spent it with the rest of our family. Hope you all spent the day trapped in your own perfect worlds as well. Merry Christmas!

The Nutcracker
Yesterday we took the girls to see the Nutcracker. This was the third time we've seen it as a family, and by far my favorite showing. Doug purchased tickets the day they went on sale and managed to seat us front row center. It was amazing to be that close. We felt as if we were a part of the show. We could see the snowflake that stuck to the cheek of the Snow Queen, the sweat on the Arabian Dancers, and each little sparkle on the Sugar Plum Fairy. Lauren had the chance to shake Clara's hand during intermission and told her, "Really great show." I got such a kick out of that. I was taking a few pictures of the girls prior to the show's start and one of the attendants came over to tell me I couldn't take any pictures during the actual performance. The announcement actually stated no "flash photography" so I snuck one quick "flashless" shot but was immediately reprimanded by Lauren for taking a picture...sigh. It just seemed such a travesty to be so close and not take pictures.

Home for the Holidays
Last night my stepmom and I were on the phone talking about how nice it would be if we could spend Christmas together. She mentioned that she and my dad were saying they'd love to be able to buy tickets and just show up at our door Christmas morning to surprise us. I told her I would absolutely love it (first, of course, I would freak out because I didn't have 15 dishes made and my house clean enough). The next thing I knew we were both crying about it. She said since we couldn't be together she at least needed to see pictures of our decorations this year. So, Elaine, this is for you. We love you guys.
It's nice to have all of the Christmas shopping done, wrapped, delivered, or waiting under the tree. This year I sent PB throws, DVDs, hot chocolate, mugs, and a white chocolate popcorn mix to my grandmother, brother and sister-in-law.
I always have teacher gift ideas but never seem to get them done in time. This was another year that I resorted to a pre-bought gift instead of homemade...I'll try again next year, I guess. My favorite part of their gift this time around were the tags and jute webbing on the bags.

Mark of the Devil (German: Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält, lit. "Witches Tortured till They Bleed") is a West German horror film released in 1970. It is most remembered for US marketing slogans devised by Hallmark Releasing Corp. that included "Positively the most horrifying film ever made" and "Rated V for Violence", while sick bags were given free to the audience upon admission.[1]
|This section requires expansion. (September 2015)
Count Christian von Meruh (Udo Kier) is a witch hunter and apprentice to Lord Cumberland (Herbert Lom) in early 18th-century Austria. He believes strongly in his mentor and the ways of the church but loses faith when he catches Cumberland strangling a man to death for calling him impotent. Von Meruh begins to see for himself that the witch trials are nothing but a scam of the church to rob people of their land, money, and other personal belongings of value and seduce beautiful women. Eventually, the townspeople revolt, and Cumberland escapes but von Meruh is captured by the townspeople. This film contains very strong graphic torture including a woman's tongue being ripped out of her head, nuns being raped, and multitudes of beatings.

- Adrian Hoven - Nobleman
The film is based upon Michael Armstrong's 1969 script. The original plans were led by producer Adrian Hoven, who intended to produce, direct and star in the film. Hoven's version was a completely different film rumoured to have been called The Witch Hunter - Dr. Dracula. The film was made to cash in on the success of the Michael Reeves's 1968 classic Witchfinder General.
The production was filmed during the summer of 1969 in Austria. From the beginning production was difficult, including that at least half a dozen languages were spoken on set, which caused problems for the cast and crew. Producer Adrian Hoven and director Michael Armstrong disliked each other intensely and often argued over the slightest of things. Hoven made sure a small number of the scripts were kept on set and even cut some of Armstrong's footage, so his own ideas could be inserted in the film. Because cinematographer Ernst W. Kalinke was a friend of Hoven's, they would both film scenes without Armstrong's permission. It has been debated[by whom?] how much of Mark of the Devil was filmed by Armstrong and what by Hoven. To give the film some historical accuracy, it was filmed in an Austrian castle where actual witchfinding interrogations had taken place. This castle also served as a museum with authentic torture tools that were used in the film.

The film was more successful at the box office than Witchfinder General and this success is often attributed to the aforementioned advertising campaign. The film has been criticized by many reviewers for being too violent to contain any message and far too exploitative whilst dealing with a serious historical subject.[citation needed] Other reviews praise the film for its soundtrack, special effects, and filming locations, consisting of the mountainous Austrian countryside and stately castles.[citation needed]
The University of Vienna's film studies conference Mark of the Devil: On a Classic Exploitation Film was held on 3–5 April 2014.[citation needed]
The film was released theatrically in the United States by Hallmark Releasing in 1972 and has been available since then on VHS in a multitude of releases from different companies, all varying in terms of the violent content, and released on laserdisc by Elite Entertainment. The film was released on DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment in 1998 and re-released by Blue Underground in 2004, with this release being deemed the most complete version of the film. Arrow Films released the film on March 17, 2015 first time uncut on Blu-ray Disc in the United Kingdom and United States.[2] The release featured the High Rising Productions documentary film Mark of the Times and a special featurete over the distributor Hallmark Releasing with the docu Hallmark of the Devil.[3]

Producer Hoven delivered the official sequel, Mark of the Devil Part II (German: Hexen geschändet und zu Tode gequält) in 1973. In addition, several VHS companies sought to exploit the title's notoriety by retitling several unrelated European horror films as sequels (including films from the popular Blind Dead series).

Somewhere between grass and wood on God's celestial materials list, bamboo is exceptional stuff. Lightweight, strong, elastic, and durable, it's one of mankind's earliest building materials. It works, bonds, and finishes well. Many of the more than 500 distinct species have been used to make rafts, fishing poles, blowguns, fences, houses, and all the furniture, flooring, blinds, and rugs therein — even skyscraper scaffolding. You can use bamboo chopsticks to eat tender bamboo shoots. Its leaves and shoots even possess medicinal properties. It's such a perfectly renewable resource you can almost watch it grow — often between 2 and 4 feet a day.
Here's an hors d'oeuvre tray you can make with only bamboo and a little glue. Bamboo poles are available from such sources as calibamboo.com or bambooandthatchetc.com, or if you live in a temperate or tropical clime, you may be able to find some growing locally. Harvest it after it loses its foliage and thoroughly dries to a nice beige.
You'll need enough running feet to yield four 9″ finished pieces that include a node, 5-1/2″ of plain hollow material on one side of the node and about 3-1/2″ on the other side (drawing "bamboo segment").
If you want to make a smaller tray, use 3 pieces and adjust the dimensions and angles accordingly.
On a table saw, cut a 45° angle on the opposite end of each segment (see side view of drawing "bamboo segment" and 4-1). To ensure good fits with the end caps, they must be cut with their flat faces against the table saw fence.
From scrap bamboo of the same size, cut 8 matching 45° pieces about 1" long as shown in diagram. Bond 7 of these caps to the segments using the water-resistant glue. Use masking tape to hold them in place while the glue dries.
Finish the tray all over with at least 2 coats of the specified gel polyurethane sealant, which is FDA-approved for food contact and often used for butcher blocks. Lightly hand sand between coats.

Typical Kansas, there is wind, rain, snow, sunshine and heat, and sometimes all of those things within 24 hours. It's not unbearable though
it depends if you like cold weather or not. in the winter it is very cold and there is a lot of snow and ice. the other seasons are diverse. it can be hot or cold. especially when the seasons start transitioning into another one.
Average weather everyday. A little chilly.
Coming from a town where it is mostly warm, the snow kills me, but if you are used to cold weather it is pretty moderate. winds can get harsh at times but it really only effects athletics
The weather can change quickly. It can snow one day and be sunny the next. It's hard to prepare with these drastic changes.

Coke Moves With Caution To Remain In Schools
By SHERRI DAY
Published: September 3, 2003
In July, the Coca-Cola Company publicly vowed to roll back all of its marketing efforts to children under 12: no television ads; no free coupons; and no giveaways like book covers emblazoned with the company's logo.
But Coke has not disappeared from the lives of schoolchildren. In June, consumer groups and some parents were dismayed when Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coke's largest bottler, became an official sponsor of the National PTA. What was not widely known at the time was that the PTA had also given John H. Downs Jr., the bottler's senior vice president for public affairs and its chief lobbyist, a seat on its board.
The PTA says that its ties with Coke help pay for its programs and that Mr. Downs's appointment will help its marketing efforts. Both moves have outraged some parents, who say their children have been put up for sale.
''The National PTA has a wonderful history in protecting and advocating for the health of children, and now it is part of the Coke marketing machine because Coke literally helps to run it now,'' said Gary Ruskin, the executive director of Commercial Alert, an advocacy group in Portland, Ore. ''It's a massive conflict of interest.''
One of Coke's chief challenges is determining how to sell and promote its products and remain in the good graces of parents. Like many food companies, Coke and its bottlers are struggling to change the public's perception -- and to maintain their business -- in the face of growing concern about health and nutrition.
Coke and Pepsi have been heavily criticized for selling to children and for locking school districts into contracts for exclusive rights to have soda vending machines on school grounds. Some school districts have banned soda sales on campus.
But even in those districts, many of Coke's vending machines remain and the company has taken the opportunity to fill them with some of its noncarbonated drinks -- Powerade, Minute Maid orange juice and Dasani water -- and also to market new products.
''These cola companies are really bracing for changes in what they're going to be allowed to do in the schools because there's a growing grass-roots movement to stop the cola contracts in schools,'' said Susan Linn, a psychologist who studies children's marketing at the Judge Baker Children's Center at Harvard. ''They're still marketing their brand.''
Officials at Coca-Cola Enterprises, which actually sells Coke's products, said the company did not know the number of vending machines in schools because those deals were negotiated locally. But Dan DeRose, the president of DD Marketing, a Colorado company that helps secure contracts with soda companies, said the companies still had a large presence in schools.
''We're busier than we've ever been,'' Mr. DeRose said.
In the fall, Coke plans to introduce Swerve, a line of milk-based drinks and the first Coke beverage to be sold only in schools (in this case, middle and high schools). Made with skim milk, the drink has about 140 calories, no fat, 27 grams of sugar, 115 milligrams of sodium (about the same caloric and fat intake of Coca-Cola Classic, with more than twice the sodium, although Swerve has some vitamins added). It will come in flavors like Blooo, for blueberry; chocolate; and Vanana, a combination of vanilla and banana.
Coke is also willing to alter the terms of its contracts with schools in favor of some of its noncola products. The company says schools have the right to choose the products sold in vending machines. Even so, beverage companies traditionally offer a higher commission on sales of carbonated soft drinks. Coke, for example, typically offers schools a commission of 30 percent for each can of soft drink that they sell versus 15 percent for each noncarbonated drink, consultants said.
For exclusive vending rights in schools, cola companies typically made upfront payments of rights fees, or annual cash payments from bottlers regardless of how many drinks are sold. (Coke says it has eliminated upfront payments and advance fees.) School districts also receive a yearly commission based upon the number of beverages they sell, with carbonated soft drinks usually netting the biggest return.
Backing out of contracts can be costly for the schools. In the Richland County School District 1 in South Carolina, for example, one high school made about $40,000 in profit when it sold both colas and noncarbonated drinks. When the district banned the sale of soft drinks, it was taking in an estimated $5,000 to $6,000 in commissions, according to an newspaper article in The State of Columbia, S.C. School officials have called that data incomplete, saying the numbers did not reflect an entire year's sales.
''The districts lose out on some revenue, but they're still able to get enough money to support the programs that depend on that volume,'' Mr. DeRose said.
Officials at Coca-Cola said that no single food or beverage should be held responsible for the rising rates of obesity and diabetes in children and youths. They also said that for the most part, their vending machines were in middle and high schools, where its new policy does not prohibit it from marketing to students.

An autopsy will be performed on an inmate found dead in a cell at metro corrections.
Officers arrested 49-year-old Robert Wendell Brown Saturday night on several minor charges, including alcohol intoxication.
Metro Corrections says he was taken to University Hospital for medical attention, then booked in the jail early Sunday.
Less than five hours later, Brown was found lying on the floor unresponsive.
The Louisville Public Integrity Unit is investigating.

Many estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems have increasingly experienced degradation caused by multiple stressors. Anthropogenic pressures alter natural ecosystems and the ecosystems are not considered to have recovered unless secondary succession has returned the ecosystem to the pre-existing condition or state. However, depending upon the scales of time, space and intensity of anthropogenic disturbance, return along the historic trajectory of the ecosystem may: (1) follow natural restoration though secondary succession; (2) be re-directed through ecological restoration, or (3) be unattainable. In order to address the gaps in knowledge about restoration and recovery of estuarine and coastal ecosystems, this special feature includes the present overview and other contributions to provide a synthesis of our knowledge about recovery patterns, rates and restoration effectiveness. From the 51 examples collated in this contribution, we refine the recovery from the list of stressors into six recovery mechanisms: (1) recovery from sediment modification, which includes all aspects of dredging and disposal; (2) recovery by complete removal of stressors limiting natural ecosystem processes, which includes tidal marsh and inundation restoration; (3) recovery by speed of organic degradation, which includes oil discharge, fish farm wastes, sewage disposal, and paper mill waste; (4) recovery from persistent pollutants, which includes chemical discharges, such as TBT; (5) recovery from excessive biological removal, related to fisheries and (6) recovery from hydrological and morphological modification. Drawing upon experience both from these many examples and from an example of one comprehensive study, we show that although in some cases recovery can take <5 years, especially for the short-lived and high-turnover biological components, full recovery of coastal marine and estuarine ecosystems from over a century of degradation can take a minimum of 15–25 years for attainment of the original biotic composition and diversity may lag far beyond that period.

A Bryan music store has closed its doors for good.
Waco-based Holze Music had been temporarily closed for delinquent tax bills.
However the store on Villa Maria will not reopen.
While lawyers and banks work through the financial part of the business, the closure has created some confusion for customers.
Those with rented instruments through Holze have not been told how and when to return them.
You can reach one of those instrument companies, Buffet Crampon Instruments at 1-866-464-9240.
But keep in mind, it pertains to only some of the instruments from this one company.
