Since I did a female face in profile, I thought it best to do a male face as well. Featuring our good old buddy Ninten.
Mark Crilley was once again the inspiration behind this one, much like the female face. Features his hat and bandanna. Minimal shading again because this was, like the female, an experiment, and I didn't want it to be ruined by over-elaborate, complicated (and sometimes flawed) shadows. I also might have made Ninten look a little old, I'm not sure. |

There are interesting rumors, and then there are thought exercises. A rumored four-team trade goes beyond the realm of interesting and demands your attention. But four-team trade rumors are rare, so we don't to get to have that fun often.
Here's something, then, that's as interesting as a 16-team trade that includes teams from Korea and MLS. Buried in a Joe Strauss mailbag column, we have this:
Q.: Is it time for Rick Ankiel to start pitching again? I think his days are numbered as a hitter. Would the Cards have any interest in taking a flyer on him if he'd reconsider his stance on pitching?
Strauss: I'm hearing Ankiel is open to giving pitching one last shot since his market as a position player appears minimal. And, yes, I think the Cardinals would be among those open to providing such an opportunity. For now it remains in the rumor stage. Developing story …
Click the link just for the picture. Ankiel was a pitcher, yes, and it was when he was 12 years old, apparently. Close to it, at least. He was 19 when he came up with the Cardinals, and he was 20 when he had his fateful meltdown in the playoffs. That was 12 years ago -- there are baseball fans driving around now who weren't in kindergarten then, if you want to feel old. As such, there's a generation of baseball fans that doesn't remember Rick Ankiel as a pitcher.
I'm not sure if there's ever been a pitching prospect with as much hype as Stephen Strasburg. But the first one I'd consider as competition would be Ankiel. His stats in the minors:
In retrospect, he never had pinpoint command, so maybe the expectations for immediate dominance were unrealistic. But he was a burgeoning star, as sure of a sure thing as a young pitcher could be. The link up there has video of his pitching, but not the good pitching. His curve was otherworldly. I never saw Sandy Koufax, but Ankiel's curve was how I pictured Koufax's curve -- a true hammer made even more dominant by the electric fastball that would invariably precede it.
I guess the first question has to do with that fastball. How's the arm strength, Rick?
Good, good. And let me check the AP/Reuters news wires to see if left-handed pitchers are still in demand … okay, yep., they're still in demand. Ankiel is 33 -- old for a limited offensive player, but he'd be entering his prime as a lefty reliever.
Here's the part of the Important Baseball Analysis where I look into the past to predict the future. Player X did this, so Player Y just might do this. Except, you can see the problem with that. Ankiel was a teenaged pitching phenom who had one of the most memorable losses of command in baseball history, underwent Tommy John surgery, and came back as a hitter six years later. You're not finding a comp for that. As such, we can't even make up the chances of such a thing succeeding. Less than one percent? Much, much higher?
And, of course, this is still just a wild rumor.
But it's a rumor that a) is interesting as all heck, and b) makes a ton of sense. Ankiel was the best pitching prospect in the world. It's not hyperbole to suggest he was one of the best pitching prospects ever. And if he's not a pitcher, he's a 33-year-old outfielder who can't hit for average or take a walk. Those aren't in demand. Left-handers are.
During the playoffs, national announcers would recount Ryan Vogelsong's travels as an extended journey that ended with him back in the majors. That's half of the story to me. The other half is how unbelievably, impossibly rare the story was. Lots of players have circuitous paths to the majors. The path -- and eventual success of Vogelsong -- set it apart. I was pretty sure that I'd never see something as unlikely for decades.
Except this would trump it. Rick Ankiel pitching again would be the most remarkable comeback in recent baseball history. It would be a remarkable comeback to bookend what was already a remarkable comeback. We forget about that part because it wasn't as remarkable as it might have been. Before Ankiel got popped for performance-enhancing drugs, he looked like he could be a future All-Star. But he still became a good bench player. The odds were stacked against even that.
Ankiel has beaten the odds to become a great comeback story before. Heck, let's give it a whirl. Right when you thought there weren't any interesting rumors, there's the most interesting rumor.

Hi everyone. I'm knitting my first sweater, and can't work out the "work both sides at once" bit. First, though, I was wondering if anyone knew a good source for a video or diagram, so I can understand the explanations I'm finding. Here's the part of the pattern I'm unsure of:
"...join a 2nd ball of yarn and bind off center
24 sts, work to end. Working both
sides at once, bind off 4 sts from each
neck edge twice..."
Any help would be great. Thanks, everyone!
I don't know of any video source or diagram but I will try to explain it...
The chest area of a sweater is, perhaps, the only area of a sweater where it matters if the two sides are exactly even. Consider the sleeves - if one sleeve is two rows longer than the other no one will notice and it doesn't affect the fit of the garment. Not so with the yoke of a sweater. Two rows will make a difference on the fit.
To avoid this problem knit both sides at the same time. Well, not EXACTLY at the same time. First you'll knit the left side, then the right side. Next you will purl the right side, then the left side. Of course that's what you've been doing all along. The difference is now you have two balls of yarn. The first ball that you have been working on is for the left side and you are going to add the second ball for the right side. With no yarn to cross the gap between left and right you are left with, well, a gap. We call this gap a neckline.
The pattern you listed is rather concise. It can be expanded a bit. (In this example I am assuming you have 144 stitch on your needle are are working in stockinette stitch)
Row 1. Knit 60, Join second ball of yarn and bind off 24, knit 60.
Row 2. Still using 2nd ball of yarn purl 60. Drop 2nd ball of yarn, pick up 1st ball of yarn. Bind off 4 stitches. purl 56.
Row 3. Still using 1st ball of yarn, knit 56. Drop 1st ball of yarn, pick up 2nd ball of yarn. Bind off 4 stitches. Knit 56.
Row 4. Still using 2nd ball of yarn purl 56. Drop 2nd ball of yarn, pick up 1st ball of yarn. Bind off 4 stitches. purl 52.
Row 5. Still using 1st ball of yarn, knit 52. Drop 1st ball of yarn, pick up 2nd ball of yarn. Bind off 4 stitches. Knit 52.
Of course you will need to modify this to fit your particular needs. If you need more accurate instructions, please include the number of stitches currently on the needle and the stitch pattern you are using.
Happy Knitting!

PupSTEP Plus™ Pet Stairs
Great for a small dog.
I am about to order two more of these for my 18 lb. dog. He was able to use it right away. It is light enough in weight to make it very portable. It is a light color so it fits in with our house. Being plastic if you bump it it moves rather than hurting you. We have had this one for about 5 years and it has held up well so I plan to buy two more as my dog is getting older and we need it in more places. When my daughter's large dog comes to visit she sometimes ends up with all four feet on it while she barks at a passing dog. We were surprised it held up well to this abuse.

Need to teach dogs to use this
I have two ShihTzus who know how to climb stairs but cannot master these stairs. I give lessons twice daily but still no luck in teaching them. I bought two sets -- one for my sofa and another for my bed but I still have to lift them up and down.

Not good enough for my medium sized dog
I've been looking for something affiordable to help my dog get into my truck but also portable enough to take with us to use at my parent's house. I already have a carpeted wood stair at home from Foster & Smith but it wasn't cheap. I ordered this plastic stair and didn't feel it was secure for my pets excitement. The steps weren't big/deep enough. My dog is a 30lb corgi mix. She has small legs but not as short as a corgi. The ad pictures a small breed dog and I think this is all it is good for. Recommend this only for a small breed, light weight pet.
In the end I returned this and ended up getting another set of carpeted wood stairs elsewhere. Those you could actually call stairs rather than steps. They aren't portable (so I leave them at my parents house) but sturdy.

An artificial selection experiment demonstrates that large-brained guppies learn better, but produce less offspring and have smaller guts. A close link between brain size and fertility suggests that energetic trade-offs play an important role in brain size evolution.

The purpose of this study is to determine the anatomy of the retina and the optic nerve in patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA). Based on these findings the aim of the study is to determine why patients with the same type of genetic material, i.e. the same mutation, have such large variations of symptoms, spanning from unaffected subjects to blindness. The project requires examination of both healthy and affected family members.

Genre: Mystery
Directed by: H. Bruce Humberstone (Charlie Chan at the Race Track)
Starring: Warner Oland, Boris Karloff, Keye Luke, William Demarest, Thomas Beck, Charlotte Henry
A great many people consider Charlie Chan at the Opera to be the best Charlie Chan movie of all time. Keye Luke told me it was his favorite of the eight (Technically, 10 if you count the two low budget titles from the late 1940s) films in which he played Charlie's "No. 1 Son" Lee, and there are few people who would place it much lower. The presence of "special guest" Boris Karloff has even made it a favorite of viewers who aren't Charlie Chan fans. (Notice that Karloff rated special above-the-title billing with Warner Oland in the film's amusing main title that reads, "Warner Oland vs. Boris Karloff in Charlie Chan at the Opera.") It certainly impressed 20th Century Fox head honcho Darryl F. Zanuck, who blasted director H. Bruce Humberstone for making a B-picture that looked better than the studio's A product. And there's no denying that it's every inch a handsome production — in part because of Karloff's presence, which caused the film to be approached in terms of an atmospheric horror picture. Karloff plays a deranged opera star who escapes from an asylum (in the midst of a thunderstorm, of course) and sets out to revenge himself on those he considers responsible for his plight. Fortunately for all concerned — well, not so much for the victims or the murderer — Charlie is on the scene. It's slick and fast-paced, and benefits not only from Karloff's presence, but that of William Demarest as an ill-tempered and racist cop who resents Charlie's presence — at least till he learns better. There's also a pretty impressive fake opera called "Carnival," which was written by pianist, composer, raconteur, and professional house guest Oscar Levant. Reportedly, Levant was roused from his usual aversion to work by the prospect of creating what he'd always wanted to see — an opera where all the singing was brought to a dead stop by a character entering the scene and proclaiming, "Silencio!" He got his wish, but that part of the opera didn't make the final cut of the film. (It can be heard in complete recordings of the piece.) Oh, well. It's still a nice complement to the mystery.
The Asheville Film Society will screen Charlie Chan at the Opera Tuesday, Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. in the Cinema Lounge of The Carolina Asheville and will be hosted by Xpress movie critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther.

Green Power Partnership
Partner Profile
Lend Lease / Chicago Region | |
Location | Chicago, IL |
Organization Type | Constr. & Eng. Srvcs. |
Percentage Green Power | 32.5% |
Purchasing Third-Party Certified Green Power Product? | Yes |
Organization-wide Purchase | No |
Partner Profile The Chicago region of Lend Lease provides program and construction management to various clients throughout the region. The company procured a significant portion of renewable energy for all of its project sites by 2008. The driver behind the Lend Lease's Chicago region's commitment to green power for its offices and for electricity used during construction was a refinement of its sustainability program and overall benefit study. Buying green power not only for its office use but also for electricity used during construction allows the company to build green buildings using renewable electrical power. This synergy fits well with their clients' demand for sustainable construction and highly efficient buildings. "As part of Lend Lease, the Chicago region is committed to developing partnerships, alliances, and opportunities that engage our clients in a manner that is consistent with the best available solutions. Part of that culture is to develop sustainable construction practices," said Robert J. Davis, Vice President of Chicago's Lend Lease's Intergrated Project Group. "The use of green power during construction is a unique opportunity to demonstrate that commitment." |

Puerto Rico Votes to Become U.S. State
The island wants to change its status
On Tuesday, a majority of Puerto Rican voters opted to make their island the 51st state of America. More than 900,000 voters—54 percent—answered the referendum saying they were not content with the current status and, of those, nearly 800,000—61 percent—chose statehood – the first majority after three previous referendums on the issue over the past 45 years. Citizens of Puerto Rico cannot vote in the U.S. presidential election, but many participated in a referendum on whether to push the territory toward statehood, greater autonomy or independence. (Washington Post)

Going to the wall in Solana Beach
For more than three decades, controversy has surrounded the proliferation of privately built seawalls meant to protect bluff top homeowners along the city's approximately 1.7 miles of oceanfront.
Image 5 of 10
Solana Beach( Don Bartletti / Los Angeles Times / May 10, 2013 )
Surfers carry their boards at Fletcher Cove beach. At the level of the beach, most of the Solana Beach bluff is sandstone. Higher up, the bluff has a layer of sand that is susceptible to erosion. Without the sea walls, that sand would tumble onto the beach, providing a kind of natural barrier to the waves and increasing the width of the beach. But property owners say that without the walls, their homes would be imperiled.

So we have gone to AK a lot and had somehow managed to never see this little show....(Truth be told I had never seen Pocahontas either, but I knew the songs) anyway, we pull up to the greeter and explain that our chairs are too wide to go into the entrance and asked if they wanted to use a tranfer chair or what...They said, just wait here, we'll take you in the exit. So we are early for the show so we start chit chatting with the CM's as usual! MJ is her little charming self and is pretending to take pics of the CM's (for which they cheerfully posed over and over again) We did take a couple of real pics with them and MJ too, they signed her CM autograph book. That was our experience with Jillian, Michelle, Stephanie (who gave me a card ans asked me to get a copy of the pic for her), Wana (I think, can't quite read her signature) and Claudia. They were sooo awesome!
Then I hear someone say I'm _______ (nickname from a board, don't want to give away her identity unles she wants me to) from Such and such a board. I gave a little shout and told her how nice it was to meet her, we got to talking and stuff, she played with MJ and took us into the theatre, seated us up front and took off to do her thing....she came back a bit later before the show started and told us to wait for her after the show and to stay seated until the theatre cleared out. So we enjoyed the show (altho the porcupine and birds didn't cooperate very well) The show is pretty neat, especially loved Sprig and Grandmother Willow.
So after the show clears out we are waiting around talking to Marcia and out comes Stephanie (It might have been Lynnzie) with POCAHONTAS!!!! Oh my goodness! Well, for those of you who know me, you know the water works started then! MJ actually let her picture be taken sittng with Pocahontas, she signed her book and played with her for a bit....pure magic!
Fast forward to the next day, we came back to the park and did the show again (this time all the animals cooperated so we saw it in full, someday I am gonna make it thru a Disney show without crying, I swear I am!) Had a blast talking to the CM's again, should have taken their advice on where to sit (we thought we'd have a better view in the back...all we saw were heads....)
We got to talk to Peter about our Make a Wish application, he gave us some great advice and spoke to Hannah about us possibly volunteering to be guides of sorts for MAW families coming to WDW (she thinks they would love that)
Anyway, as we are leaving the show we get to talking to Lynnzie and Hannah, they were so very sweet to MJ, They both gave her a pin and Lynnzie gave her stickers (her favorite thing!) and gave her the 10th ediition of Pocahontas! What she couldn't have known is that we really couldn't afford to buy it for her, so it really made our day (We've watched it half a dozen times this week, she loves it)
This was Dinsey Magic at it's best.......a lot of magical things happened for Andrew'a bday last week, but I arranged most of them, so it wasn't the same as when it happens so spur of the moment....
going for tissues now....

Surprising variety in energy metabolism within Trypanosomatidae
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 25, Issue 10, 1 October 2009, Pages 482-490
Aloysius G.M. Tielens and Jaap J. van Hellemond
AbstractThe metabolism of Trypanosomatidae differs significantly between distinct species and can even be completely different between various life-cycle stages of the same species. It has been proposed that differences in energy metabolism are related to differences in nutrient supply in the environments of the various trypanosomatids. However, the literature shows that availability of substrates does not dictate the type of energy metabolism of trypanosomatids, as Trypanosoma theileri, Trypanosoma lewisi and African trypanosomes all live in the bloodstream of their mammalian host, but have surprisingly large differences in metabolism. Furthermore, in trypanosomatids no obvious relationship exists between energy metabolism and phylogeny or mode of transmission. We provide an overview of the metabolic capacities in the energy metabolism of distinct trypanosomatids, and suggest that these can be divided into four different metabolic categories of increasing complexity.

Metabolic Aspects of Glycosomes in Trypanosomatidae – New Data and Views
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 16, Issue 11, 1 November 2000, Pages 482-489
P.A.M. Michels, V. Hannaert and F. Bringaud
AbstractThe energy metabolism of Trypanosomatidae has been the subject of many reviews during the past decade. In recent years, however, new data have led to a more complete picture of trypanosomatid metabolism and a reappraisal of the role of some characteristic organelles in the energy supply of these parasites. For years, the glycosome was thought to be a peroxisome-like organelle that had evolved to allow the parasites to carry out glycolysis at a high rate using a relatively small amount of enzyme. However, the results of recent studies of trypanosomatid glycolysis and the detection of various other pathways and enzymes in the organelle necessitate a modification of this view. Here, Paul Michels, Véronique Hannaert and Frédéric Bringaud review the new data and discuss the possible implications for our view on the role of the glycosome. * This review is based largely on some presentations and discussions held at a meeting on Bioenergetics of Trypanosomatid Parasites, supported by the COST B9 Action and held in Brussels, 29–30 October 1999. COST B9 Action is a five-year programme, initiated in October 1997 and funded by the European Union, that aims to identify, evaluate and develop new drugs against parasitic protozoa (see http://www.icp.ucl.ac.be/∼opperd/cost_b9.html).

Complex I of Trypanosomatidae: does it exist?
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 24, Issue 7, 1 July 2008, Pages 310-317
Fred R. Opperdoes and Paul A.M. Michels
AbstractThe presence of complex I, or NADH dehydrogenase, in Trypanosomatidae is debated. Several subunits of complex I have been identified by biochemical studies, but the overall composition of the complex has remained elusive. Here, the authors review the present literature related to this mitochondrial activity and carry out a bioinformatic analysis to allow the prediction of the composition of a putative trypanosomatid complex I. The complex comprises at least 19 subunits and has a minimum mass of 660kDa. It is larger than the corresponding bacterial enzyme but smaller than the typical mitochondrial enzyme of eukaryotes. All subunits known to be involved in electron transport are present, but the complex does not seem to be involved in energy transduction because four membrane subunits, normally encoded by the mitochondrial genome and supposed to be involved in proton extrusion, are missing.

Mitochondrial translation in trypanosomatids: a novel target for chemotherapy?
Moritz Niemann , André Schneider and Marina Cristodero*,
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Bern, Freiestr. 3, 3012 Bern, Switzerland
Trypanosomatids cause widespread disease in humans and animals. Treatment of many of these diseases is hampered by the lack of efficient and safe drugs. New strategies for drug development are therefore urgently needed. It has long been known that the single mitochondrion of trypanosomatids exhibits many unique features. Recently, the mitochondrial translation machinery of trypanosomatids has been the focus of several studies, which revealed interesting variations to the mammalian system. It is the aim of this article to review these unique features and to discuss them in the larger biological context. It is our opinion that some of these features represent promising novel targets for chemotherapeutic intervention that should be studied in more detail.

mgSEO, personally, I wouldn't bother. You may fool a few unwise people, but any webmaster worth their salt will see it as a way of gaining an IBL. (Normally from their homepage).
I remember a number of years back when a friend had the chance of putting a similar thing on her site. She was over the moon that someone thought her site was the bees knees. Then I told her what she was doing (giving a homepage link to someone with no authority etc) and she promtly removed it.

Pipes and Useless Cats
I love me some Unix command pipes:
$ cat /some/file.txt | sort | head
Pipelines let you chain together multiple commands to manipulate data flows. Pipes are not only useful as a data filtering mechanism, but when combined with tools such as cut
, awk
and sed
can also be used for projections and transformations. The Unix pipe, while simple in concept, is a sophisticated shell construct and one big reason why Unix shells are to this day a popular tool in a programmer/system administrator/data scientist's toolkit.
So why am I sitting here telling you something that you already know? Fair question - to answer that let's take another look at that command:
$ cat /some/file.txt | sort | head
While shell pipelines are great, we have a subtle problem here - and it's something that's known as a useless cat. No, I don't hate cats - this expression harks back to the old usenet days where a forum member ofcomp.unix.shell would write a weekly post where he would highlight a redundant use of the cat
So why is the above command useless? Because sort
can take one or more files as arguments, much like the majority of Unix commands. So this command can be rewritten as:
$ sort /some/file.txt | head
Removing cat
from the equation means that we've reduced the number of processes that need to execute, and cut down on the buffering and data copying that the shell needs to do to make pipelines work - a win-win.
In fact cat
really doesn't have many uses - if you need to view the contents of a file you're better off usingvi
or less
, and otherwise most Unix commands can directly work with files.
So next time you're about to run a cat
command - think about whether or not you need it, or whether you're just perpetuating use of the useless cat!

MES use helps achieve sustainability goals, Rockwell Automation says
Rockwell Automation releases white papers that explains how MES, SCADA, and other tools help achieve quantitative sustainability.
Rockwell Automation says MES, SCADA, EMS, and OEE & TTP all can help quantitative sustainability. Information solutions help achieve manufacturers' energy and sustainability goals, according to a white paper, "Manufacturing Executions Systems for Sustainability: Extending the Scope of MES to Achieve Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Goals," presented May 27 at the IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications in Xi'an, China. Changing metrics to reflect sustainability goals is one way to achive that.
"Information solutions often focus on achieving production management benefits," said Jeffrey Soplop, project manager for Rockwell Automation and one of the paper's authors. "However, as this paper illustrates, these solutions can be used to implement sustainable production to help reduce energy and raw material use; drive emissions monitoring and environmental reporting; and improve worker and product safety."
Convergence, integration, sustainability
Technology convergence and sustainability have been a Rockwell Automation topic
for the past few years, the company says. The business case for sustainability begins with a holistic approach to manufacturing, incorporating the principles of environmental stewardship, corporate responsibility and economic prosperity - tenets of a fundamental sustainability concept known as the triple bottom line, the paper says. From this perspective, the traditional manufacturing requirements for information solutions lead directly to sustainability improvements.
"The traditional goal of increasing productivity directly supports sustainability goals as well; consuming less energy and raw materials; enforcing regulatory compliance through emissions monitoring and environmental reporting; and reducing operating costs by eliminating waste," said Soplop. "The bottom line - sustainable production positions manufacturers for high performance by helping them to cut costs, generate revenue, and mitigate brand and regulatory risks both now and in the future."
Change what you measure; use what you have
To validate the overlap between traditional and sustainability goals, the paper provides case studies on several Rockwell Automation customers, showing how companies already use information solutions in existing operations. This demonstrates that many sustainability goals are achievable simply by changing perspectives or metrics, rather than by implementing entirely new systems and solutions. Soplop and co-authors Jenifer Wright, Khris Kammer and Rafael Rivera point out in the paper "for manufacturers pursuing sustainability initiatives, MES is an ideal tool for changing production processes to meet the demands of the competitive global landscape."
Read the Rockwell Automation white paper, " Manufacturing Executions Systems for Sustainability: Extending the Scope of MES to Achieve Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Goals " (1.31 MB PDF) and related resources.
Rockwell Automation says manufacturing execution systems, supervisory control and data acquisition, energy management systems, and overall equipment effectiveness and total effective equipment performance all can help quantitative sustainability.
A separate
Aberdeen Group study has similar energy management and sustainability advice
An integrated approach can achieve quantitative sustainability, says Rockwell Automation in a new Rockwell Automation whitepaper on MES and sustainability. The MES communicates with other critical information systems within the plant and analyzes disparate data into meaningful metrics, Rockwell Automation says. |

What's happened with the new ADA pool regulations that were supposed to go into effect this summer? We came across one RV park this summer that elected to close their pool rather than install the expensive accessability equipment required. Other parks seems to be going along either blissfully ignorant of the regulation or just planning on ignoring it. Is there a new deadline or has the ADA backed down? Just curious.

One Step Closer To Evolutionary 'Missing Link'
Scientists believe they're one step closer to human evolution's "missing link" with the discovery of new skeletal remains in Ethiopia.
Humanity has a new older sister. A fossilized skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus or "Ardi" predates Lucy by over a million years. The discovery has led to new insights about human evolution, suggesting previously unknown relationships to our chimpanzee brethren.
The paleobiologists studying Ardi identify hers as an "intermediate" form, one that is bipedal, but at the same time capable of walking on all forms and traveling through trees. Still, although she represents a point past hominids' evolutionary break with gorillas and chimpanzees, she is very different from modern apes. For example, Ardi's had flat hands and feet and flexible wrists, and engaged in a form of locomotion called palmigrady, which is a trait of ancient apes and unlike gorillas and chimpanzees, which are stiff-wristed knuckle-walkers. This suggests that gorilla and chimp ancestors developed their knuckle-walking long after their evolutionary break with hominids.
Interesting. And by interesting I mean Ardi looks like your mom but with nicer tits. AND trim.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the camp
Not a creature was stirring, not even Champlain Champ;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Rabbit and Turnip would soon be there;
The members were nestled all snug in there bed,
While visions of fish danced in their heads;
And fishermom in her kerchief and Celeste in her cap
Had just settled their brains for a long winter's nap,
When out in the campsite there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was a matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw open the sash.
The moon on the breast of the heavy dew,
Gave the luster of midday to shine on Sue.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Was Dave and Nancy so near.
A little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be turnip.
More rapid than Land Locks his coursers they came,
He whistled and shouted and called them by name;
Now rabbit! Now wellsley! Now Dave and Nancy!
On Canepole! On Fishermom! On Stan and Hoot!
To the top of the dock! To the top of the launch!
Now float away! Float away! Float away all!
So up to the launch the coursers they flew,
With a boat full of lures and turnip too.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney turnip came with a bound,
He was dressed in feathers from head to toe,
His clothes were tarnished like he had no dough.
A bundle of lures he had flung on his back,
He looked like a peddler who just opened his pack.
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
A piece of a pie was held tight in his teeth,
The crumbs in his beard encircle like a wreath.
He had a board face and a big round belly,
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump and a right jolly old elf,
Big dog and little dog laughed when they saw him,
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
And he filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside his nose,
Giving a nod up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his boat, to his team he gave a whistle,
And away the flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim 'ere he drove out of sight,

Review Roundup: Jordin Sparks – 'Battlefield'Jordin Sparks' sophomore album Battlefield arrives in stores and online tomorrow. Did the 19-year-old pop star come out victorious? Find out below. Entertainment Weekly: Battlefield actually contains enough potential hits to keep the singer in heavy rotation until well into "Idol's" 10th season. Sparks even co-penned four tracks, including "Faith," the best "AI" anthem the show has never had. A- The New York Times: Battlefield, her expertly constructed second album, upholds a darker, more experienced tone without losing an ounce of melodrama. Ms. Sparks, now a worldly 19, has her principles, including a stake in overblown emotion. Newsday: She gives a personal twist to "Emergency (911)" that makes the dance number work. But it's the big ballads—"Was I the Only One," "Faith," and "The Cure"—where her vulnerability and booming voice work best together, where she sounds like a true teenager with actual teenager problems and beliefs. B- Boston Globe: But this is nowhere near the knockout the 19-year-old pop star should have delivered. No one expects edginess, but a powerhouse voice like Sparks' deserves something more to work with than these leftovers. Rap-Up's Favorite Tracks: "Battlefield," "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)," "Watch You Go," "No Parade" TweetYou can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. 4 Comments
