Clinical Fluctuations in the Unconscious
Medical trainees are taught how to listen to patients' chief complaints and decide how to pursue a diagnostic work-up. Atypical chest pain, acute appendicitis, kidney stones, and a myriad of other diagnoses all have particular "classic symptoms" patients often reference in their history; however, what happens when patients can't talk to you? When they can't tell you exactly where it hurts or ... More »
First Six Weeks Of Anesthesia
Between my first month at the VA and (nearly) two weeks at Ben Taub General Hospital (BTGH), I'm becoming more comfortable with the operating room and performing anesthetics. Having the opportunity to learn two very popular anesthesia machines (Datex-Ohmeda and Drager Apollo) in two very busy clinical environments with a wide breath of cases and patients was challenging at first.

Motorola's "Moto 360″ Smartwatch – Glass Killer?
When Google Glass was still in closed beta testing, the media was touting the flagship wearable as a glimpse into our future.

Animals like to lick stuff. Anyone who's watched his or her dog dedicate a good 20 minutes to licking the couch for some reason knows this.
But a window? We don't get it. Is there some kind of flavored glass we're unaware of? If you have any flavored glass laying around, please send it to us for inspection. Thank you.

This is a pattern for a coat from Burda, but because of the thiner material it turned out to be a longer blazer, which I quite like. It has leather inserts and details on the pockets.
Feb 6, 2013, 08.10 PMby chililietje
I made the exact same coat, also with faux leather inserts. I posted it on the website as well. It is a nice pattern, I think. I especially liked the back of the coat, but the overall shape of it is pretty as well.

It's almost practically identical. :D And yours looks great also!

I was having a craving for meatballs over rice and when I went through my usual recipesI was missing one ingredient or another, either pineapple chunks, or green peppers,cranberry sauce, sour cream, jelly, this ingredient or that ingredient...gee I felt like poor old mother hubbarb that day!!!! So I went on the internet in search of a "simpler" recipe...this is what I found and it was very very tasty & easy,and needless to say, great for when you are short on ingredients and due for your next grocery order!!(Actually , even for this recipe,I was out of onions too, which is why I used onion soup mix!!) My hubby even really liked it quite a bit, sometimes less is more! It ended up a keeper that I will make even when I do have a fully stocked kitchen! HA!

The president of the Texas branch of the American Federation of Teachers (Texas AFT,) Linda Bridges, has commented on the Texas Education Agency's guidelines for evaluating teachers. These evaluations are submitted to the U.S. Department of Education.
"The commissioner is relying on a defective value-added model to measure teacher performance based on standardized test scores, and the state will face the same problems that we've seen in the Houston ISD, which now is the target of a lawsuit against its faculty evaluation system," she said. "It is very troubling that the commissioner is depending on SAS Institute–the same company that developed the dubious evaluation system targeted by the lawsuit in Houston–to develop its value-added formulas."
Parents, teachers and students throughout Texas are speaking out against what they perceive as overtesting and how it is hindering the education of schoolchildren. The state's top education official, however, is advocating increasing standardized testing. Many teachers are disillusioned with standardized testing, believing that it actually hinders real teaching and learning. This model proposes to tell them that their professional abilities can be judged by vague statistical formulas based on their students' test scores.
The commissioner's plan to increase this alleged misuse of test scores, relying on black-box formulas for evaluations will likely add to the consternation among parents, teachers and students.
"The key Education Code provisions on teacher evaluation do not authorize the commissioner to dictate to school districts that scores of an individual teacher's students on state assessments will be a significant factor in the evaluation of that teacher," said Bridges. "Yet the commissioner apparently aims to circumvent state law, demand that school districts show "fidelity" to his apparent scheme and forge ahead with this flawed model under the guise of compliance with bureaucratic edicts from his counterparts in the federal government."
Bridges went further in her comments on the situation.
"Texas AFT takes a back seat to nobody in supporting proven models of evaluation that gauge a teacher's performance with multiple measures that more accurately reflect the teacher's ability to inspire learning in students and insure they are both learning the curriculum and learning how to think critically and creatively," Bridges said. "As professionals we understand the importance of fair and supportive evaluations, and we'll continue to fight for a system that achieves that goal."

Dr. Meoghan B. Cronin Coming to Bedford Public Library
On Sunday, November 18, 2012, at 5:00 PM the Bedford Library Foundation will feature Dr. Meoghan B. Cronin as this year's speaker for the Fall Gala. Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served beginning at 5 pm and the presentation will take place at 6 pm in the McAllaster Room at the Bedford Public Library.
"The Dubious and Awesome History of the Novel" will be the topic for Dr. Cronin's talk. She will focus on "why the novel matters" in a fun and interesting way. People who love books like to hear about the origins of the novel form, who read them, who wrote them, where the "classic" novels came from (historically and artistically), the major developments in the novel, etc. This sort of topic brings in art, class, gender, history, culture, etc. She will include several major works that people will recognize.
Cronin specializes in Romantic and Victorian literature and has been recognized for her excellence in motivating and inspiring students. She was selected by the New Hampshire College and University Council for the New Hampshire Excellence in Education Award for postsecondary education in 2006. She spoke to the Bedford Women's Club in January on Mary Shelley's Gothic classic Frankenstein.

Pigmentation Problems of the Nose in Dogs
Nasal Depigmentation (Dudley Nose)
Nasal depigmentation, also called Dudley nose, is a syndrome of unknown cause that may be a form of vitiligo. A nose that is solid black at birth gradually fades to a chocolate brown, or in the case of complete depigmentation, to pinkish white. Some dogs experience a remission in which the nose spontaneously becomes darker. Depigmentation primarily affects the skin of the nose where hair is absent. It tends to occur in Afghan Hounds, Samoyeds, white German Shepherd Dogs, Doberman Pinschers, Irish Setters, Pointers, and Poodles.
Snow noseisa separate but common condition in which dark pigment on the nose fades during the winter months and darkens again in spring and summer. Complete depigmentation does not occur. Snow nose is seen in Siberian Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and other breeds.
Recommended Related to Dogs
Submissive urination is normal canine communication. Dogs do it to show social appeasement. When a dog submissively urinates, he's trying to convey that he's not a threat. Not all dogs submissively urinate. However, some will urinate when they're exceptionally excited or feeling submissive or intimidated. Dogs who submissively urinate usually do so when greeting people or animals (especially unfamiliar ones), during exciting events, while playing, during physical contact, such as petting, or...
Read the Submissive Urination in Dogs article > >
Treatment:Lack of pigment on the nose is primarily a cosmetic problem and is considered to be a conformation fault in the show ring. A number of home remedies have been advocated, but their success is questionable. Sunscreen, as described for nasal solar dermatitis, helps prevent ultraviolet injury to dogs who lack pigment.
Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis
This is a localized form of depigmentation that affects the nose and lips. It is caused by eating out of plastic and rubber dishes that contain the chemical p-benzylhydroquinone. This chemical is absorbed through the skin and inhibits the synthesis of melanin, the substance that produces dark pigment in the skin. The involved skin may also become irritated and inflamed.
Treatment:The problem can be corrected by switching to glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bowls for all the dog's food and water.
Treatment:Prevent further exposure by keeping your dog indoors as much as possible when the sunlight is the most intense-between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Letting the dog out on cloudy days does not address the problem, because ultraviolet rays penetrate clouds. Sunscreens are of some aid in protecting dogs who spend time outdoors. Use products containing an SPF greater than 15. Apply the sunscreen 30 to 60 minutes before exposure and again later in the day.
Treat an irritated nose with a skin preparation such as Cortaid that contains 0.5 to 1.0 percent hydrocortisone.
Nasal Solar Dermatitis (Collie Nose)
This is a weepy, crusty dermatitis that affects Collies, Australian Shepherds, Shetland Sheepdogs, and related breeds. It is seen most commonly in sunny regions such as Florida, California, and the mountainous regions of the West. It is caused by lack of pigment on the nose and prolonged exposure to the ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Lack of pigment is hereditary in some dogs, but it can be acquired through skin diseases and scarring.
Initially, the skin appears normal except for the lack of black pigment. With exposure to sunlight, the skin at the border between the muzzle and nose becomes irritated. As the irritation continues, hair falls out and the skin begins to ooze and crust. With continued exposure, the skin breaks down. In advanced cases, the whole surface of the nose becomes ulcerated and the tip itself may disappear, leaving unsightly tissue that bleeds easily. Skin cancer may develop.

"After a few conversations it became obvious that people want somebody that you can work with," Lavoie said. "So as a result, the people who can work with each group are the naturals to lead the council at this time."
Kelcourse said that over the course of the legislative session, councilors typically lobby for future positions they're interested in, and he acknowledged that he expressed interest in the vice presidency.
"I spoke to other city councilors about the vice presidency," Kelcourse said. "I thought it was an opportunity for me to take on some added responsibility and serve my constituents in a new way."
Kelcourse added that he supported McMilleon for president and was thrilled when he was elected. He said he looks up to McMilleon as a mentor and is excited for the opportunity to serve with him.
"He's a very good friend of mine," Kelcourse said. "I think he runs an excellent meeting, and I'm privileged to serve as vice president with him and I'm very grateful to have gotten unanimous support."
McMilleon is entering his sixth term on the City Council and is the most experienced member of the council. He previously served two terms as councilor at-large from 2002 to 2005 before stepping down to take a break, and he was subsequently re-elected as District 5 councilor in the fall of 2007. He has served on the council in that capacity ever since.
This will be McMilleon's second stint as the council president. He previously served in that role from 2004 to 2005, and he also served as vice president in 2009. Going forward, McMilleon said things will likely be different on the council, but that doesn't mean the council can't continue to accomplish great things for Amesbury.
"We've got a different mayor, we've got a different council and we have some broad perspectives on the political spectrum," McMilleon said. "One of my main goals is going to be to facilitate us working in a collaborative way so we can accomplish things for the community."

"around" is a preposition, and in most cases ... probably including the English example here ... it's good to have a noun after it. But I'm not quite sure what the Japanese means.
I am guessing, but perhaps either of these?
- "Gather your robe in close."
- "Gather your robe around your body."?
I can either correct the English or add a new sentence quickly enough.
How shall we fix this?
If the Japanese is supposed to be ローブ then we can change it to that and amend the English to "Gather your robe around your body." Then the sentences will match and be correct.
Ah, will do.
I went ahead and did a temporary change.
Pull your robe together.
I don't like this enough to adopt it, though.

A sweet taste of sunny California, these crushed tomatoes are produced by Chris Bianco, award-winning chef of the celebrated Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix. The plum-shaped tomatoes are organically grown on a family farm in Yolo County, where long summer days and fertile soil develop their uniquely delicious flavor. Within hours of harvest, the vine-ripened tomatoes are washed, steam-peeled, hand selected and crushed, then packed with just a touch of sea salt, organic basil and their own juices. Brimming with fresh, true tomato flavor, they are perfect for topping pizzas and making sauces.

Speaking of which, Justin and Jennifer are still in the cab to the Detour, having decided on the "sea kayak." "I feel a little weak but I'm not gonna quit," Jennifer says. After that nice rest she had at her bike-taxi destination?
Marcus tramps out to the boat and gives a roar of determination, earning him a round of cheers from the passengers. He gets his last passenger, a young man with a bundle on his head, while Amani cheers him on from the shallows. Once on the sand, Marcus nearly dumps the kid on his face, but luckily the passenger keeps his feet and they get the clue sending them to Jamaica Shop, now up to fifth place. "Caution, Double U-Turn ahead," they read. Laurence and Zac are still looking for that, so Amani and Marcus find it first. They consider U-Turning someone, but after taking a long look behind them, Marcus thinks they're in good shape, so they pass up the U-Turn as well. On to find the Pit Stop. They encounter Laurence and Zac squeezing through that gap in the bamboo fence. Team Adventure reaches the U-Turn sign at last, and they use the touchscreens to...U-Turn Marcus and Amani. Oh, come on.. You know, Ernie and Cindy really don't need to be embarrassed about their mistakes as long as these two are around. Well, except tonight's mistake. They should be embarrassed about that one. Laurence and Zac get their clue in fifth place, having U-Turned a team that's ahead of them. Which, you know, doesn't work.
Jeremy and Sandy finally paddle in, thinking they're in last place even though they're only in sixth. Sandy leads them back to their taxi. The siblings are finally approaching the lake, hoping they're not too far behind. Jeremy and Sandy get directions to Jamaica Shop from their cabbie and head back down to the beach just as Justin and Jennifer are arriving, and as the siblings find the canoes and put on life vests, Team Pre-Owned still seems to be wandering around aimlessly. Justin and Jennifer get in their boat and nearly tip it over before getting back to their old bickering ways while they try to figure out how to paddle the thing. Jeremy and Sandy are still schlepping themselves back down to the beach. Justin and Jennifer are figuring out how to work together well, which is rather sadly symbolic at this late stage.
Amani and Marcus arrive at the mat in fourth place and Phil congratulates them on coming back from last even with the Speed Bump. Marcus interviews that they're figuring out what they "need to do to be pushing for the first place in each leg."

Return of the thwackWhile the rest of the NBA was gorging on a first-round cornucopia of close games, buzzer-beaters and high drama, the two-time defending champ Miami Heat were enjoying an eight-day break. How thoughtful of them, then, to offer a good reminder of what we've been missing on Tuesday.
Hello, old friendShout-out to the Mavericks, I guess, for lulling everyone into believing the Spurs might be showing signs of slowing down. The Spurs did all they could to dispel that now annual feeling of creeping doubt during the regular season by claiming a league-best 62 wins, but seven tough games against Dallas left some thinking they might be vulnerable against the Trail Blazers. It took all of 12 minutes to ease those concerns on Tuesday.
Treating vets with Kidd glovesA buzzer-beating three-pointer from Deron Williams pulled the Nets to within 13 heading into the fourth quarter. That's a big deficit, but teams have rallied from bigger ones to win. And yet, Jason Kidd entered the fourth quarter with this lineup: Shaun Livingston, Marcus Thornton, Andrei Kirilenko, Mirza Teletovic and Mason Plumlee. This isn't a lineup that should ever be on the floor in a playoff game for any team, much less one with Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
Portland's living nightmareIt all fell apart for Portland on Tuesday night. Damian Lillard had no way of staying in front of Tony Parker, the Blazers couldn't get anything going down low and the Spurs absolutely locked down on them from the three-point line. Then, it got ugly.
The end of insanityThe first round of the playoffs was so, so wonderful. So many awesome series, five of which required the full seven games. So many awesome games, eight of which required an overtime session.

Featured review from Goldstar Member
view more less of this review
We had a great time. Comedians and host were all funny, K-von especially. Venue was easy to get to, parking convenient. Service was excellent. Couldn't have asked for anything more...the Goldstar price made it even better!
MTV's hit new hidden camera show, "Disaster Date" trusted two comics to pull off the main pranks, K-von and Geoff Keith. With their quick wits and fierce left handed compliments, these two can be seen on TV daily making their poor dates hilariously run for the door.
Now K-von and Geoff are here for a special one-night comedy event. With collective appearances on Showtime, Comedy Central, HBO, and many more, these two stand-ups will leave you with a night to remember.
After touring for years with Pablo Francisco and independently, Geoff has added an arsenal of hilarious stories to his laid back style. Not to mention, his ability to work the crowd leaves the audience on their toes while doubled over in laughter.
K-von built his stand-up credits on the road with the likes of Jamie Kennedy and Persian funny-man Maz Jobrani. His high energy and quick pace provide for surprise punch lines and explosive laughter. Favorites among the college crowd, the guys from "Disaster Date" are one of the hottest new tours for exciting young audiences today. So grab a date or make it a singles night and get all the friends together for the "Disaster Tour."

If your plan includes some beach time this summer, remember to bring your wallet , I mean phone, if you plan to park along the Galveston Seawall.
Paid parking will be a reality this summer. The price will be $1 an hour but the price will not exceed $8 a day.
Apparently parking meters are so 2012.. so to pay to park you will have to use a mobile app, the internet or a mobile phone. Some select Seawall businesses will also take payment but they are still working out the fine print on those.
If you frequent the island for weekend get-aways you might want to just purchase a yearly pass for $25 bucks.
The paid parking will include both the north and south sides of the Seawall from 6th Street to 69th Street and 81st Street to 103rd Street.
Bargain hunters take note the area between 69th and 81st street will be free of charge.

I don't remember exactly. It was uploaded 3/9/10 so it's probably from the summer before that - summer of '09.
When was this photo taken?
I think it was 2009 or 10... I'm fairly certain it was 2010, During early summer, June.
Thank you, jack
This was taken about 2 years ago.
Hi clrichey 15. This photo was taken a long time ago! Could you tell? Maybe that's not why you asked, since I saw that you asked the same question on at least one other person's photo. Anyway, the best I can remember is simply that I probably took it in the mid to late 1990s. It isn't digital or else it would probably have the "extra information" on it. I see it is one of the first photos I ever uploaded to Panoramio!
Cheers - Joe
Hi , this was taken 2004

I see a fair amount of abilities reappropriated from HoN or DotA (e.g. a Janna ability named Zephyr, that a HoN hero named Zephyr has).
This isn't bad per se, since some of it is design space that LoL hasn't moved into.
Made a Thresh Montage - I feel like leaving this here, has been the past ~10 games in League I have played. Won 9 of them. Enjoy.
Just had a particularly enlightening conversation with Peri on Skype--I feel it's certainly relevant to this thread (especially with that video he posted) so I shall post the conversation here!
Very minor, low-priority nitpick redesigns:
Thresh, the Chain Warden (changed the "snappy"/immediate aspects of his kit to be more drawn-out, creating a heightened sense of psychological dread to capitalize on the success of the rest of his design, and fixing some slight readability/visual clarity problems)
Vi, the Piltover Enforcer (While her shield and ult "work" for her, made some changes to capitalize on the success of the rest of her design, bringing her playstyle even more together and creating a greater sense of unity on every level)
Still having a blast with Vi, just playing her is incredibly satisfying (especially after those QoL changes)!
I wonder if Zyra could be fixed with her ultimate being changed from a cast able AOE spell to a DOT cast able spell like Morgona's chains. Have it hit every champion in a certain distance, and deal constant damage while close to her. Nothing like a toggle, just vines shooting out at the champions. Of course there needs to be a set tether distance and time. It fits her lore, and quote."Closer to the Flower, Closer to the Thorns".

It's sarcastic. It emphasizes the speaker's true meaning by expressing the opposite idea. For example:
A: I wonder if the boss will let us have Friday afternoon off.
B. Fat chance!
In other words, speaker B believes there is very little chance (or a slim chance) of that happening. Speaker B is being sarcastic by saying the opposite.

The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor given to our military men and women.
This September Knoxville will host the nearly 80 living recipients and families at their annual convention.
When quilter Kit Brown heard the convention was coming to town almost two years ago, she had an idea.
"I know a lot of people who like to do quilts for soldiers maybe we could make them a quilt," Brown said.
Since then, she has recruited volunteers to hand make each living Medal of Honor recipient a personal quilt. Dozens of volunteers have spent countless hours sewing for each hero.
With Sgt. Kyle White, Sgt. Jesus Duran, and Private First Class Gary Wetzel's photos hung over her sewing machine, quilter Kathleen Vanorsdel finishes up a patriotic quilt.
White was just awarded the medal in March for his bravery. Even though Vanorsdel had already done two quilts, she jumped on the opportunity to do another.
"I think about them when I'm sewing," Vanorsdel said.
Just Tuesday it was announced Marine Lance Cpl. William "Kyle" Carpenter will receive a Medal of Honor in June.
"This quilt to me seemed to be just the perfect thing for him," Brown said of an extra quilt a volunteer donated.
"When you look at the white space a little closer you see it's made of lots of jagged little pieces. This young man [Carpenter] threw himself on a grenade to save his buddies and suffered a significant amount of damage including a lot of facial damage to me it just says you know what it may be made of pieces but it's still a beautiful thing," Brown said.
Each quilter chose a troop to make a quilt for based on a connection they found and explained why in a letter that will be accompanied with each gift.
"My husband and I are both veterans of the Vietnam era," Vanorsdel said, "For many years as well we felt like second class citizens. So I always wanted to do something for another veteran so that individual didn't have those types of feelings."
These quilters hope their heroes will feel how much they're appreciated every time they see their quilts.
"As I sewed I thought of your hero and said many prayers of thanks that he was willing to go that extra mile for me and all Americans during his time in the service," Vanorsdel wrote to Sgt. Duran's family.
Each quilter will be able to personally present their quilt to their Medal of Honor recipient at the convention in September.
You can see a sample of the quilts on display this weekend at the 34th Annual Smoky Mountain Quilters Show. It takes place May 23-25 at the Cooper Athletic Center in Maryville College.

Who Should I Draft?
Andre Ellington or Mike James (2014)
Andre Ellington ARI
Mike James TB
Probable - Shoulder
|Pat Fitzmaurice
The Football Girl
"I keep moving him up; his floor is higher than that of several other RBs on this tier."
"Battling for backup work behind Doug Martin."
|Brandon Funston
Yahoo! Sports
"Preseason work backs up ARI claims that AE will be a fully featured workhorse, so the only real worry now is whether he can hold up"
|Derek Lofland
Fantasy Football Maniax
"Ellington showed a ton of potential in his rookie season, finishing with 1,023 career carries and four touchdowns. Ellington should be poised to claim the starting job in 2014 with veteran RB Rashard Mendenhall retiring from the NFL."
|Sablich Brothers
The New York Times
"Cards will build offense around him, but his size will keep him from true workhorse duties."
|Jeff Boggis
Fantasy Football Empire
"3 rushing TDs and 1 receiving TD in his rookie season. Starting to grow on me and I would be happy to have him as my RB2 this season."
Fantasy Football Starters
"Here is your breakout RB5 if there is one that ranks outside of the top 25 overall fantasy players. Yes, he has that kind of ceiling! Just don't reach for him, as risk is built into the investment if you draft him near his ADP (which is steal territory, and often outside of 30 overall)."
|Matthew Hill
Fantasy Team Advice
"The Cardinals seem committed to getting the ball into Ellington's hands. If Ellington averages 20 touches per game and comes close to his gaudy 2013 yards-per-carry average of 5.5, he would offer top-ten upside at a reasonable ADP."
|Raju Byfield
Win My Fantasy League
"Andre Ellington should get all of the work he can handle after impressing everyone with his 5.5 yards per carry and 39 receptions on limited snaps."
"Mike James saw his stock dip with the drafting of the explosive Charles Sims."
|Kevin Roberts
Breaking Football
"AZ says he'll get 25-30 touches per game. That's laughable, but he's in for a monster load."
|Tozzi Brothers
Legion Report
"HC Bruce Arians has shouted his plans for Ellington from the rooftops. Some of the terms used by Arians were workhouse, feature back, 25-30 touches per game, etc. In 2013, the Cardinals averaged 20.0 PPG in Weeks 1-8 before jumping the offensive assault to 27.3 PPG in Weeks 9-17. The offensive trend is relative to the entire team becoming more comfortable with Arians� approach and we expect the production to carry into 2014. Expect Ellington to be heavily involved in both the passing attack and running game for the Cardinals this season. 25-30 touches per game is a bit advantageous and we don�t expect him to be there. However, the 275-300 touch mark on the season isn�t completely out of line for Ellington. In PPR Leagues, Ellington will be a stud. In other leagues, we consider him a solid RB2."
|James Hatfield
Hatty Waiver Wire Guru
"Ellington has awesome upside and has PPR upside as well. He could potentially become the lead back in Arizona and be drafted very late in many leagues this year."
|Chet Gresham
The Fake Football
"Ellington is the lead back in a pass first offense, but he's also a very capable pass catcher. He won't be pushing the pile over from one-yard out, but he will have plenty of looks in space and his ability puts his upside out of sight."
|Staff Rankings
"Now that Rashard Mendenhall is retiring, that leaves the electric Ellington to hopefully take the reigns as the starter. He probably won't get more than 60% of the work but that will be plenty for him to have some really nice games."

Found September 21, 2012 on Raise the Jolly Roger!:
PLAYERS: Jeff Locke, Edgar Gonzalez, Garrett Jones
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros
Awful. The Pirates were blown away by the Astros – the 102-loss Astros – on Friday night. Jeff Locke gave up a 3-run bomb in the first inning. A slew of no-name Houston pitchers shut down the Bucs (starter Edgar Gonzalez had to leave in the 2nd with an injury). The Pirates struck out 12 times. Locke pitched pretty well after the homer, and Garrett Jones hit a solo homer in the 8th, but those are just two miniscule positives in one of the Bucs' worst performances of the season. Obviously the timing makes it even more dreadful, as the loss drops the Bucs two games below .500 and did nothing to instill hope that a week against bad competition can help them get back on track. Astros 7, Pirates 1 / Box / 2012 Record: 74-76 / Next: Saturday, vs. Astros, 7:05 MVP: McCutchen (+.023) / LVP: Locke (-.113) / Key play: 3-run HR in 1st

Talk to your kids for 7 Minutes?
I try to keep my writing light and interesting, but sometimes I preach. Today is a preaching day because I came across a very alarming study yesterday…
According to this study, many parents spend less than 7 minutes a day in communication with their children. That is shocking, scary, and terribly alarming!!! 7 MINUTES!!! I spend more time in the washroom. And if, on average, men tend to communicate LESS than women, then this might be RED ALERT boys! Take us to Def-Con 2!
Now before you get your ginch in a pinch, I know we all lead busy lives. We work, we pay bills, we play golf, we try to have a life. We rush our over-scheduled children around from one activity to another (oh FYI, 'busyness' doesn't equal good parenting!)
Who has time left to talk with their children?
There are 1440 minutes in a day; even if you take away the minutes spent at school and asleep, there are still a TON of prime minutes lost every day. What is QUALITY time to you? If life is where you put your attention, where is yours?
START in the MORNING! How different would your day be if someone lovingly stroked your head, whispered kind words, and spent 5 minutes gently rousing you from your slumber? All right, stop thinking THAT – ya dog. I'm not trying to be crude or silly. But indulge me for a second, try sitting on the edge of your child's bed as they sleep in the morning. Collect the eyes before you connect. Stop yelling, "TIME TO WAKE UP!!!". I am not a crazy person, I know mornings are chaotic, but try this for one week and you will be amazed.
ZIP YOUR LIPS! I know I am saying TALK but sometimes we, as parents (and dads), need to just listen. True communication is two people talking and actively listening to each other. As men, this is not always our strongest suit. Try looking at your child (or partner) right in the eyes when they are speaking and really focus on their words and body language.
Teach your children how to listen by showing them how you listen to them. As men, we are also programmed to fix problems. We listen (at first), assess, and then wait for our moment to dispense our incredibly brilliant solution. Sometimes we just need to listen and zip it – especially in the teen years. Trust me. Be present and quiet, and they will keep talking and sharing…
SPEAK WITH not AT! I will pose my final point as a series of questions, answer these questions honestly, and the path to the magic kingdom of true connections awaits…
- Do you speak WITH your children or simply AT your children?
- How much is one-way directive, monologue communication? ("Clean your room! Take out the garage! How many times I have told you to…) – YUCK!
- How much communication in your home is in response to conflict? *30%? 50%? 80%? 99%?
- How completely do you listen to your child's opinions and feelings? How often do you seek out your child's opinion?
- How much time do you spend in meaningful dialogue with you child/children? 5 minutes? 7? 20? 60?
If you answered honestly (and poorly) above, fear not… here are some simple ideas for you…
- Ask more open-ended questions - Questions that can't be answered with a yes or a no. "What do you think…" "WHY do you think..." "What would happen if…"
- Stop using the excuse that "my kids don't talk" – How was your day – FINE – What did you do? NOTHING. Simply ASK BETTER QUESTIONS!! Turn judgments into curiosity!
- Follow your child's lead and interests: "Tell me more about FACEBOOK…" – What makes the Wii better than an Xbox?
Frankly, I was startled by the 7 minute notion and I want to enlighten (scare) you and force you to think about the day-to-day life within your own family, especially over the summer months and possible extended September holidays.
We can ALL spend more time talking with our children. We can always up the quality minutes – what is the minimum we should shoot for? 20 minutes? 30? 80? Whatever your number is now, increase it – double it!!! 'Talk' about a WIN-WIN-WIN situation for you, your child, and your family life. For every minute spent in meaningful dialogue with your child, their attachment to you grows exponentially.
PICK YOUR TIMES -- Set aside time just to listen and get to know your child. While driving to and from activities maybe a hidden gem for quality time, family meal times and bedtime remain the best times for connecting. INSIST on Family Meal Times – buck the drive-thru trend! And then read, snuggle, and connect with your children before they close their eyes…
Too often, we choose to make other activities in our lives a higher priority. Parenting is a privilege. Make it your first priority. Turn off your computer, put your Smartphone down, and go engage your kids in something fun!
Remember, kids spell LOVE = T-I-M-E!
How many minutes do you spend communicating with your children? Please brag or confess… how would your kids rank you? I will jump off my soapbox now, but I hope this starts the dialogue…
Until next time…
A stranger touched my child...
The Bad Touch:
When a stranger Touched my little girl
I tickle and wrestle with my little girl and my little boys too, when they initiate.
They have granted me that privilege as a caring, loving father.
I will not tickle and wrestle with your children. Aside from being wildly inappropriate and crossing boundaries, they do not know me.
As a family, we have been living through a massive house renovation. Our little house has been a bee hive of activity, activity done by strangers; electricians, drywallers, plumbers, and carpenters.
The kids have watched all improvements with excitement, until Monday of this week. First it started as a tickle of my daughter, then a quick wrestle with my son.
Why was this complete stranger touching my children?
The most respectful interpretation is that this man, a father himself, was innocently reliving his rough housing past or perhaps didn't know how else to interact with young kids. The least respectful interpretation is terrifying to me and I shake with anger.
I believe what was most upsetting to us, as parents, was that the kids felt weird about it too, knew something was wrong, but didn't have the skills to do anything. We have spoken about this kind of scenario many times with hypothetical situations and role play. They have also received instruction on strangers and safe touch at school.
How do you teach your children about strangers so they will recognize an unsafe situation for what it is and apply their skills?
Without sending mixed messages, how do we teach that not everyone is nice and there are bad apples out there that need to be feared?
We focused on 4 areas: Talking to strangers, the Tickle List, Trusting instincts (and no secrets) and Safe touch areas.
While "Never talk to strangers" is an old cliché with some merit, we do want our kids to talk and interact with strangers when mom and I are present. We want them to be friendly and respectful and these skills need to be practiced and developed.
I don't want my children to fear all strangers or the world in general. If they need help, they may need to find a stranger – ideally one with a uniform on, a name tag on, or one with children. If 99 people out of 100 are safe and kind, that one creepy bastard terrifies me and I need it to alarm my children.
As an exercise, we went through a list of people we knew, and "if they were allowed to tickle or wrestle with you". Most of our family and good friends were on the "YES Tickle" side while the mail man, workmen, some family, bus drivers, and even teachers were on the other side.
The stranger talk led to an interesting age appropriate discussion on "safe" touches and "not-safe" touches. We have declared the parts of your body that are covered by a bathing suit are never to be touched by anyone except mom, dad, or the doctor ("because they are in the body business").
As parents, we need to be constantly vigilant to keep our children safe. While we can fear total strangers, statistics might suggest bigger threats to our children's innocence might be closer to home.
I want our children to trust their instincts; to develop and hone these instincts – to "listen to that little voice that says this doesn't feel good" (my son's explanation). Kids need to judge people by their actions, not by who they are in relation to the child. Many family trees have crooked limbs full of creepy uncles.
We talked about how strangers should NOT be interacting with them if we are not present. They need to fear the man who needs help looking for his little dog or the stereotypical stranger with candy or an Xbox that needs testing. We have no secrets in our house. That is our best defence against a creepy stranger that might insist on secrecy…
This is a continuing conversation in our house on the topic of strangers. Every future conversation touches on these points, but I want to know from you…
How have you dealt with strangers who have touched your children and/or the talk and tips you have used to help prevent and minimize stranger danger?? Do you disagree with our approach?
Please help continue the conversation so all of our children can remain safe!

Bottles, breasts and erections
4 Things NOT to say to a Bottle Feeding Dad…
I love breasts. Always have.
Breasts feed babies. Sometimes...
We have all heard the slogan "Breast is Best". Heck, I lived that motto at every high school party in my awkward teenage years.
But if breastfeeding doesn't work out for new parents, if breast really isn't best, then bottle/formula feeding becomes a wonderful reality.
Popular culture makes it nearly impossible for new parents to feel like whatever they are doing is enough. "Are you using organic hemp-infused environmentally safe bamboo diapers like Angelina Jolie uses??" Any new parent knows there is already enough stress and worry when looking after a brand new baby.
When it comes to feeding, if breast feeding is working out, then great! Lucky you! If it isn't working out, then bottle feeding is great! Lucky you!
We need to stop all the added "Breast is Best" pressure. I think it was Tina Fey that declared, "if you choose to not love your baby enough to breastfeed, you can pump your milk using a breast pump…" For some couples, breastfeeding is not a choice or even an option. When it comes to feeding, all that matters is that your baby gets what he needs to grow up strong and healthy.
As a dad, co-captain of the parenting team, I wish I had breasts… but alas, I do not. So in the early days with a new baby, all I can do is support mom. If breastfeeding doesn't work out, for some new moms the 'LETDOWN' can be devastating and soul destroying. Some women I talked to felt that their failure to breast feed was worse than any fertility challenges they ever faced.
Mom can feel like she is failing at something that should come naturally, like it did for the African tribeswoman on the cover of every National Geographic magazine I remember from the 1970s. It can be an incredibly sad time for a new mom if her body is not doing something that everyone tells her it should be doing. I find it incredibly painful to see and hear the judgment from others on the "failure" of breastfeeding. "It's easy! You have big boobs, you just need to relax!"
Here are 4 other things to NEVER about say to a bottle feeding Dad…
1. "Your wife should try harder! It is natural and normal and what is best for baby!" - Hmmm… erections are natural and normal too, if (and when) I have erectile 'challenges', I sure as hell don't want to be told to TRY HARDER (pun intended) – believe me, I will want that erection bad enough!"
2. "Did you wife just give up?" – Hmmm, no, but our "really hungry" baby and her bleeding swollen nipples forced her to tap out and submit after medication, nipple shields, being attached to a giant rental pump 24/7, cold compresses, hot compresses, voodoo… You are right, she is a quitter!
3. "Your wife should talk to my breastfeeding consultant! She can straighten this out and get your baby 'back' on the right path!" Do you know what is in formula?"
Holy smokes, what a douche thing to say. No, neither one of us needs to meet your Nipple Teat Nazi, we have met many. We trust our doctor to know what is best for us. Formula is not cigarettes. Although unfortunately many a husband has had to hold a precious, screaming newborn while he watches a teary, devastated, self-loathing wife read the notice on the formula that "breast milk is best for babies" before she prepares that first desperate bottle of formula ever at 3:00 AM.
4. "I am sorry breast-feeding didn't work out for you!" Why? Why tell a happy bottle feeding couple that you are so sorry?
Why do you pity her? Does she have something to be ashamed of? And to use another Tina Feyism, "my bottle fed baby will kick your breast fed babies ass any day".
In researching for this article, I asked my own mother how breast feeding went with me. Her answer shocked me. It didn't. It never happened. EVER. I was bottle fed from day 1. I was dumbfounded. I figured my love of breasts must have started early, but alas, it did not. But I think I turned out okay.
Can you look at a grade 9 class and pinpoint who was bottle fed and who was breastfed? No. It's not like the bottle fed kids have hunched backs on top of bowlegs that stare at you under a unibrow with a pair of lazy eyes.
There can be hundreds of different reasons why a new baby isn't breastfed. Maybe the child is adopted, maybe mom had breast cancer, maybe she had breast augmentation, who knows --- it's personal and none of our damn business!
Personally, I love bottle feeding!! As a dad, I have been involved since Day 1 in the feeding of our beautiful boy! We both get to bond with our new boy! Looking into those eyes over the bottle is absolutely magical!
Bottle feeding is not the selfish choice --- for some families, it's the best choice. Do what is best for your baby! As long as a baby is healthy, that is all that matters. Feeding is just one part of being a new parent, so come on people, stop judging and start supporting!
Please post your thoughts! Let's start the discussion…
*For the record, we are breast feeding and topping up with a lot of formula and fortunately Eli is thriving in his bamboo-hemp-hybrid diapers.
What Dads really want on Father's Day...
Forget Christmas, my birthday, or even Halloween - Father's Day is my favourite day of the year. Not for the commercialism or gifts I may receive, but for this amazing opportunity I have been given: to be a father.
Happy Father's Day to all those men playing a significant role in the life of a young person! With the arrival of our new little boy, Eli John on May 20th, I am now a proud, exhausted father of four.
During one of the quieter moments in the hospital, Eli's mom asked me what I wanted for Father's Day. I held up our new son and said, "this is the best gift ever." She pushed on, "No really, what is the best Father's day gift we could give you?"
Forget the mugs, ties, and Speedos.
Aside from art and killer cute cards from your children, I'll tell you what every dad REALLY wants on Sunday…
Sex, Respect, and Appreciation. That's it. PERIOD. (Maybe even in that order)
SEX: Let's not 'beat around the bush', the best gift from your loving partner isn't a high tech gadget, it's sex and physical intimacy. We don't want sex out of obligation or as a favour. All men yearn to be desired. We have a need to be "needed". Physical intimacy is a vital piece of a loving relationship – the glue that can hold the relationship together.
Yes, love, honour, mutual respect are other cornerstones, but hey, sex is in the "cornerstone dialogue" and anyone that thinks it isn't important is a big fat liar and/or a terrible lover.
Involved dads are much like NBA players: genetically superior. There are thousands of women out there clamouring for our attention and consideration, but we have chosen only one person to spend the rest of our life with, and baby it's you. Congrats! But with this exclusivity comes an understanding and mutual benefits.
RESPECT: What father doesn't want respect from his partner and his kids? But I agree with Tiger Woods' father Earl: respect must be earned. If you are consistently the role model for what a 'good man' looks like, then respect from your partner and kids should naturally flow.
APPRECIATION: Society is beginning to truly appreciate this "involved dad" epidemic. From suddenly proud stay-at-home dads to the increased acceptance of working dads juggling work and family life, great dads are no longer "babysitting our kids to give mom a break…" We are being parents to our kids, just like mom. We are equally skilled and possess the same intention as mom, to love our kids with all our hearts.
While some big corporations still peg dad as a bumbling idiot, or strangely absent (did everyone else enjoy the "Thanks Mom" Olympic ads that Proctor and Gamble ran?), mass media and most companies now seem to "get it" and are now showcasing caring "parents" not just a caring mom.
For Father's Day, I don't need anything purchased from a store; I have everything one man could ever want.
When we walk to school and my daughter takes my hand or when our entire family cuddles in on one couch, I embrace the magic and hold tight with both hands.
I know I am a very lucky man.
I know these are the good old days.
I know these days are fleeting and I need to lean into my role of dad everyday. To me, everyday is Father's day.
So I really don't need anything this Sunday, but… hold on, wait a second," {cue 70s porn music}, "Who looks like he needs a massage?" Me? Well… yes honey, maybe we…" Bow chicka wah wah
What do YOU want for Father's Day?
Until next time…

You Know Why the Caged Bird Sings?
A single question can arise in different contexts, and have different answers. Here's an example — a study and a book both written in the late 1960′s:
"The influence of vocal behavior on the performer's testicular activity in budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus)," Barbara F. Brockway, The Wilson Bulletin (1967): 328-334.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou, 1969.
