At no other point in your life do you get a chance to let control go over yourself that completely to anyone or anything else. And the greatest part of it all is that you give that very control up to the person you trust the most: you.
Alright, maybe the crazy you is the one that gets the control. The you that is convinced, although not talked about, that you are still eligible for the draft because you never gave up your amateur status. Sure, you are closer to 40 than you are to 30, way closer. But yet, in the eyes of the MLB, still having that amateur status. Crazy you never gives up on your dreams. Nope because he's actually the guy in charge of them.
In real life, you would you never put on a viking horned helmet, jump on to some monstrous enlarged my little pony and charge off to fight the evil dark underlords of the underpants? Of course you would not. The underlords are some scary mother fuckers you want no part of their underpants kingdom. But in sleep, crazy you cannot wait to saddle up Rainbow Dash and start giving out wedgies of justice. Crazy you, the one in charge of your dreams, is the Samuel L Jackson from pulp fiction. Your wallet says bad mother fucker on it in your dreams. And in those dreams you would use that wallet to keep your black Amex card that you will surely need as you buy your very own island. Why an island? Because you are never going to recreate Jurassic Park in the middle of freaking Manhattan. I think we all know how that turned out, thank you very much bad sequels. But don't worry, on your island, crazy you will do it right. You will start by not cloning any valociraptors or T-rexes. That was mistake number 1. Perhaps crazy you is also sensible. How nice.
However, sex. Sex is awesome.
Sex is the primal driving force of our entire evolutionary chain. It is the very basic instinct that must be met. It is the dynamic that very much preserves the species. It is how you leave your legacy, it's how you build something greater than yourself. And it feels really, really, really super nice.
That's just one of the great benefits of sex. But there are many more. You can have drunk sex where you get a freebie in the regrets department, an automatic pass on a bad decision. You can have angry sex, where you get to work out your deep emotional scars of your unfulfilled self. Thus you are saving thousands of dollars in therapy bills just by releasing what nature wants you to release anyway. You can have break up sex, you can have make up sex, you can have sex for any occasion. Sex is basically a pinata of pent up emotion. And boom, you're resolved in 5 to 15 minutes and in an emotionally blank space. At least for a good 30 seconds anyway.
Sex counts as exercise. It gets your heart rate up. You work muscles, it flattens tummys. It's a cardio vascular workout for both your physical and emotional self. It builds intimacy, creates a bond and if you are doing it right, a couple of funny stories to tell the buddies over beers. Sex is indeed awesome.
Which is why, as parents, choosing between the two (sex vs. sleep), can be soul crushing. You're busy, the kids and the house and the wife and the responsibilities. You don't get enough time for either. Each day you have to make one a priority. Sleep is awesome, we've covered that. Sex is also awesome, been over that as well. But the nature of our lives as parents don't leave enough room really for both on a Saturday night. Have some wild sex, you are giving up precious minutes of sleep. Have some wild dreams and nope, sex isn't on the table. Sure, you can have sex dreams but crazy you (he's in charge!) always fucks that up. Right at the good parts and bam, crazy you decides that it's time to throw a picture of cute kitty cat in the mix getting it's head lopped off by a chainsaw. Crazy you has some serious issues he needs to work out.
So what do you choose?
Well as parents, luckily, that decision actually isn't ours. Nope, we all gave that up. I gave up that decision 8 years ago. Yup, I no longer get to choose whether it's sex of sleep. I don't get to choose because as I'm laying there, making the pros and cons checklist of both, a sick 6 year old boy walks into the room. He wants snuggles because he has a temperature. And that means of course that he wants good old dad to put his hand on his back and tell him stories. And right when you get that done and you think ok, I'll take sleep tonight. The baby wakes up. He has decided he can't sleep without making sure dad hasn't been abducted by the Knight of the Underpants so he screams. Dad gets up and heads into his room to assure him that no Knight of the Underpants can contain him. Go to sleep while you still have the choice. Then you go to the bathroom and your oldest daughter wants to know why everyone is up at 3 am. It's a good question that you don't have an answer to.
And that's the beauty of parenthood that no one realizes until it's already done. You don't make the choice between sex and sleep anymore once you have kids. The choice is made for you! You are free of all responsibility! The burden is no longer yours to bare, you've given it off! Others now choose for you.
And what's the choice that is made, the one that you no longer have any input into anymore? The choice that you gave up without realizing it? Whats the final decision! Sex or sleep!
It's secret answer number 3. It's neither. You get no sex. You get no sleep. You instead get a cat that pukes in your slippers and a dog that farts in her sleep so loud that the other dog barks.
Or perhaps this is all just another dream and crazy you is actually just a dick.
These are the words that I told Hossmom on a Thursday during our beach vacation. I never expected her to come with us. This was supposed to be my gift to her. I was going to give her the entire day at the beach by herself. She could drink pina coladas in her brand new beach chair. All day. She could catch some rays without any baby vomit on her. She could swim in the waves without worrying if anyone is about to play shark on the back of her head. She was going to get the chance to relax. No one was going to throw sand at her, cry if they didn't get the last poptart or attempt to pull her bathing suit top off because they wanted to climb to the top of mount Hossmom.
"No, I want to go."
She said these words and I knew that this was a mistake but I didn't say anything. How could I?
I took me time and this Thursday was supposed to be Hossmom's time but it appears that she didn't want it. She wanted to adventure with us. Sometimes, I don't think she understands what that means, or had at least forgotten about how the kids and I adventure. You have to go hard with the kids, you have to be all in. You have to keep your energy level up, to match their excitement. And when the excitement is missing, you have to provide it for them. You have to motivate them. Otherwise they would want to stay inside watching TV all day and we just can't have that. No! We are out in the world, we are in a part of the country we have never been to before! There are things to be seen, quests to pursue! Thursday is adventure day! I asked her if she was sure if she wanted to go.
"Yes, I'm sure!"
It's like watching someone taking the wrong exit into the bad part of town. You think: yup, this isn't going to end well. We should watch the news tonight to see if they were car jacked.
When the kids and I go adventuring, it can be an endurance race. If I do it right, at the end of the adventure, we are usually exhausted and that's what I had planned for this day. There is no relaxing. It is constant motion, never ending wonder and conquering. When there is a problem we deal with it and make it part of the story. We build the memory whether or not the memory wants to cooperate with us or not. Did she understand this?
I asked her one more time. Just to be sure she knew what she was getting into. You are going adventuring with dad. Are you sure? I do this everyday. I have molded my entire experience of being an at home dad on this type of stuff. I have trained for 6 years for this kind of thing. This is not an office job. There is no lunch break where you talk about adult things. There is no afternoon meeting in an air conditioned conference room where you discuss marketing strategy's. Ten to one there will a Porta Potty involved somewhere along the way. Are you sure you want to go? Her answer was yes. There is only so much one can do but dammit if I wasn't proud of my little office trooper.
Later that day, after our third stop. I asked her if she wanted to go inside the air museum with us. I thought she was about to cut me.
Pina Coladas on the beach. I'm just saying that was a possibility on this wonderful Thursday.
Don't Cuss
That is what was going through my head as I entered the studios for our local NPR station to do an interview about at home dads and the book Dads Behaving Dadly. I was also plugging our local dads group, KCDADS because why the hell not. If I'm going to be a shill, I'm going to shill for them all.
However, according to my wife, my friends, my family and people that I've never met except for one time at a funereal, I say fuck alot. I tend to cuss at inappropriate times and around inappropriate people. Like kids. Apparently I cuss around children. I'm fucking horrible.
This was going to be fun though. I am riding the initial high of the book. I am soaking up the experience, gathering the most of the memories that I could so that one day in the nursing home I could tell Jim, my roommate that inappropriately grabs the nurses, that once I published a story and someone not related to me thought I was funny. But I can't say fuck on the radio. That would be bad.
I like NPR. I hope they do well. I like the idea of NPR, the people's radio. I do not wish to cause them to have a scandal, much on the scale of the Janet Jackson superbowl, and thus shut down their station, fire staff and basically make it impossible to do a Pete's Schweddy Balls sketch ever again. So I can't cuss and that could be a problem. I, apparently, cuss alot. My wife reminded me before I left for the interview. This could be a problem as they asked me to also read one of my stories on the air.
I say "God Damnit" in the story. Going to have to censor that one. Look at that, only one story published for 10 dollars and I'm already a sell out. I have thrown artistic integrity to the wind for a grand total of 10 bucks. Awesome. I have reached the big time.
The whole experience was surreal though, could it be anything else? Who reads what I write and why would they? My daughter breaks stuff, my son is a pot head waiting to find his weed and my last son may grow up to knee cap people that owe him money. That's what I write about. But apparently it was good enough to get into a book and for a radio personality to want to include it as part of their show.
So when we went into the sound room, I am guessing that is what they called it, the top thing on my mind was not to say fuck. Because that would be bad and my wife would leave me for someone that has had 2 stories published. Then I could say fuck.
On a side note, when I met the "talent", Gina, she looks exactly like my sister in law. No kidding. Glasses, reddish hair, sweater and a big cup of coffee, slight of frame. It freaked me out for a sec, does my sister in law live a secret life of an NPR personality in the Midwest? Interesting, I've never trusted her. She is going to do some gotcha journalism.
But that didn't happen. It was a great interview, thoughtful questions and a good command of the room. I was pleased. I was even more pleased that I didn't cuss, not once. I didn't even say hell. Although I did almost slip up. She asked me how I deal with other's expectations as a stay at home dad. What I said was that my wife's expectations and my children's expectations are what matters. What I wanted to say "Oh, they can fuck off and suck it." But I didn't, I was diplomatic and was able to say basically the same thing without causing the FCC to come down like gang busters.
The interview went well and the hour flew by without me even noticing. I thought I did pretty good and didn't embarrass my group or at home dads nationwide. The producer came in after the show to take us back to the room where my children were waiting. They were waiting with some other KCDADS who came with me to watch them and then do a radio station tour.
They were in there for an hour.
My kids. For an hour. Without me.
The young chap, classy beard and an NPR aura around him told me "That was great. Let's go back. The room is kind of destroyed, you may have to clean up a bit."
And because I'll get asked, here is the link to the interview.
Dads Behaving Dadly Now On Sale!

Get it for that special guy in your life. Or you mom, yes, get it for your mom because your mom loves me. Then someone should leave a review of the book on Amazon because it's got no reviews and that's very sad. But it's out, it's official, I'm published! I'm also going to turn comments back on on my own blog.
That's it. That's all I've got today.
Wait, I do got more. I've got the best joke ever told, ever ever.
This joke was told to me by one of the kids I coach for baseball. During practice I was handling first base during batting practice. For 6 year old ball, first base is really close to right field. So I always ask my right fielder to tell me a joke. It keeps them from running after a butterfly. I asked one of my boys for a joke. It turned out to be the best joke ever spoken.
Knock knock. (6 year olds only tell knock knock jokes)
Who's there?
Pigs who?
Pigs on yo face.
Then he walks off like he just dropped a hot mic and strolled away.
Maybe it was the delivery of the joke that made it so funny. Maybe it was his utter confidence when he told the joke. Maybe it was his strut as he walked away as if he knew he just rocked my world. Maybe it was because I was totally unprepared for the punch line. I'm not really sure but I can't stop laughing. It probably has some deep 6 year old meaning, some double pun insult joke. I'm don't know. All I know is that when you tell it, and you will, you must walk away like you just owned that motherfucker.
A Pot, A Burner and a Pound of Butter
The handle of my pot will get to hot because almost the entire length of it is over the burner. I have accepted this, it is a causality of war. I've already got a pound of butter out to sooth my skin. I know that you are not supposed to use butter on burns either but I am planning to. I have to. At this point, there is no choice.
Let me explain marriage to some of you. Now, I don't hold out myself as any kind of expert on many subjects. I have been with my wife for about 20 years, married for almost 15 now I suppose. I have had kids for 8. I feel that I have no real expertise to pass on to you. But that hasn't stopped lesser men than me so come closer to the screen and I'll pass on my knowledge.
Many people will say that marriage is an equal partnership. Some may say that it is unconditional love. It's support in tough times and it enhances the good times. Those people have never been married. Go away you single people.
No, marriage is about not doing things that your wife will remember 10 years from now. Marriage is about limiting that ammo for when she needs it. Say you get into an argument with your wife. It happens, even to funny people like me. Side note: Hossmom does not like my jokes when we argue and it just makes her more mad. I know this and yet I continue to do it. You'll understand why later.
Marriage is about not giving her and her elephant memory a chance to store up so much about past personal screw ups that she will use them against you when you are discussing American foreign policy. You'll make the point that perhaps she is wrong, so wrong in fact that Teddy Roosevelt just dug himself out of his grave and is at the front door to chastise her. And then boom, from left field, she brings up the time you told jokes during an argument when you guys were dating and it made her cry because she didn't think you cared enough about her. Then all of a sudden you are no longer talking about American foreign policy and the excellent points you made. You are apologizing for something you did when you were 24. Argument over because you'll feel so bad that you just can't continue because she's getting the sniffles even thinking about it. She's right by virtue of past guilt and your idiot 24 year old self.
This is why I don't argue much with my wife. I have no desire to be reminded of the mistakes that I have made over the last 20 years. And yet, she knows this and does not change the tactic. It remains.
Feminism, it can be to extreme. What, I used a small pot 5 years ago and burnt my hand and you thought I was going to drop the pot and boil the baby with it. Yes, you are right, feminism extremo is fantasitco.
Should the kids go to your old summer camp somewhere up in the northeast. That's dumb, why would we pay all that for a place you barely remember. But yes, I did once leave the oven on and therefore I was intentionally trying to burn down the house and I must hate my family. That means the kids will go to summer camp.
You shouldn't buy 12 shoes to see how they look at home and then just keep one pair. Wait a minute, I forgot the fact, and thank you for reminding me, that for a short period in high school I wore shoes that were made out of plastic. You should buy 20 shoes.
This is known to all long time married men. This is relationship fact. The result is though that your carefree days are over. Every thing you do you second guess yourself on. Normal every day tasks beg the question: is this going to haunt me when I'm 62 and talking about retirement? What, I once spent 20 dollars on a beer in Mexico because the guy just walked off and I thought he was getting me change but didn't? Why of course we should invest in the high risk start up at our age, what have we got to lose!
So what happens though is that all this gets pent up inside you, that ain't good. The only pain you should be carrying around inside is when your team didn't make the playoffs because of a missed field goal that they have hit 500 freaking times inside the 10. Stupid Philly. That's the kind of pain that a man carries around with him forever.
You have to find a way to do the stupid, to let it out without her knowing so that one day you can actually win an argument with her.
So when she's not home you put the very small pot on the very large burner and get the butter out. You know exactly what you are doing, you have it all planned out. You'll explain the bandage on your hand as a soldering accident. She won't know the difference because she doesn't know that a soldering iron can't grill your entire palm and that the scar will be in an odd handle shape. This is also why you keep her out of the garage. Take notes fellas, I'm laying down gold.
You have to take the small pains so that one day she will say "Hossman, that's an excellent point. I have never thought of it that way. I am very turned on by the size of your brain power. Make love to me."
Would honesty work better? Probably but you'll never get that far before she reminds you that one time in college you paid a guy to electrocute you using a car battery.
My Boy
Bubba Hoss is going to a professional soccer game. I wasn't invited. That's fine by me. Any game that is called futbal but is not football bothers me. I know, very American. I can't help it. I hope the world enjoys the game, I can appreciate the fandom of it. I just can't get into it and I have no desire to go and watch a game. This is weird for me because usually I'm up for anything. I once drove 4 hours to see a big ball of twine. I can't watch soccer. I don't trust it. It's sending communist signals, I know it. I watch it and I keep wanting it to turn into Rugby. Just pick it up, stop kicking the ball, it isn't natural.
But my kids play soccer and I actually do a spot of coaching. My coaching consists of trying to tell the kids not to look at the airplane and to focus on the ball. They ask me "what ball?" I then remind them that we are playing soccer. I am teaching very important life lessons.
So when the opportunity came up for my son to go to a pro game with his friends, without me, I was more than happy to make that happen.
For some reason Hossmom wanted him to wear his sandals rather than his tennis shoes. I'm not really sure why or what difference it makes. Is it to hot for tennis shoes? I don't know. Is she fostering the hope that he'll be called in to play in the big leagues and go like a Brazilian kid and play with just bare feet? Then he will buy her a house and a maid while introducing her to Beckham? To complicated for Hossmom. She keeps her plans simple and shrouded in mystery. By mystery I mean she never tells me the reasons for the fashion choices for the kids.
I have made it my business to no longer question it. It's not worth the argument. She'll roll her eyes while trying to explain the fashion mistakes I am currently making that will result in the opening of a portal to hell and the destruction of Earth because the boy needs to wear sandals. I will be better off understanding the rules of soccer rather than to get into this with her. So I don't ask anymore, I just nod and agree. Yup, it's the middle of May and that means that it's time for sandals because the fashion magazines have made it very clear that sandals are only to be worn for the next 2 hours in this month. Anything else and you are an affront to the lord, so sayeth Kate Moss.
I have tried to tell my daughter how to handle this. She is 8 now and she is starting to assert her own fashion sense even more. I would say twice a week my wife and daughter argue about what to wear and not to wear. Little Hoss wants to wear a shirt. Hossmom says it has to be long sleeve. Little Hoss says she doesn't want to wear a long sleeve shirt. Somehow this will go to each article of clothing. It continues until I step in and tell them to stop arguing and for Little Hoss to wear what her mother says. I figure I can do this for another 3 or 4 years before it's full on world war 3 with those two. Pre-teen/teen is not going to be pretty. I just want family harmony. That happens when every one shuts up. That's my motto. Be quiet. I like it. As long as she isn't wearing a thong and a tube top, I'm pretty good to go. Apparently, I'm the devil.
Bubba Hoss now has to wear his sandals. He gets up to go find them. He brings them back to the living room. He does a little twirl and sits down.
Then he puts his tennis shoes right back on, leaving his sandals right on the floor. I watch this whole thing happen. I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. He went and got his sandals like his mother asked him. He sat down with them. He put them on the floor next to his feet. Then somewhere in his little brain he forgot about them. I don't know why.
It is possible that he was working some mathematical problem in his head, some unproven theorem. He must have stumbled upon the answer but it was so mind blowing that he forgot what he was doing. All he knew was that he needed something on his feet. If I put a loaf of bread next to him, 10 bucks says he would be wearing toast to the soccer game.
I see Hossmom about to lose it. She can't explain this and I know that her eye doesn't twitch because she's in a good mood. But at the same time, how can this not be funny? How can this not be exactly my boy? He's been doing stuff like this his whole life. I no longer want to explain it, I just want to be a part of it. You realize that he will be the death of us all, right?
He'll be near a red button one day and someone will say "never push this red button." 10 seconds later he will push it and all of a sudden we will be living in the book "The Road." If you haven't read that book yet, you should. It's very good and very depressing and about a man and his son. His mom's not around because she couldn't take the fact that her son didn't put sandals on. But dad is still there. But he dies, very sad.
I tell everyone that there is no more time, we are going to be late. I tell Bubba Hoss to get in the van, time to go. He has no idea that I just saved his ass. Hossmom still can't speak because she's not sure what happened. I can see her trying to put the chain of events into some sort of frame work that will make sense. That won't happen with my son. I find that he doesn't have to make sense, much like the fashion choices that I don't understand.
It's better for me to just keep the family harmony, to whisk away the small troubles and just get things done. Hossmom will try to understand what just happened but won't be able to because there is a secret to it. You can't understand it, there is nothing to understand. What you can only do is accept it and hope that one day, when he's sitting next to your hospital bed and you ask him for the remote, he doesn't think you mean to turn off your ventilator. It has a red button.
A Corn Dog Stick In The Bathroom
Let's try that again.
There is a god damn corn dog stick on the sink the bathroom.
I have no idea why. I have no idea where it came from. I have no idea how long it has been there. I have no idea why someone would even bring it in to the bathroom. I have no idea who would bring a corn dog stick into the bathroom.
Wait, yes I do. One of my three blessings. That's what you call them as a parent when you are trying to figure them out when they screw up. What you want to say is "One of my three jackholes that somehow sprang forth from my loins and who apparently can't figure out that a corn dog stick does not go in the guest bathroom sink." My blessings. That spend my money. Blessings that leave corn dog sticks in the bathroom.
As I'm picking it up I am running through the scenario's that may have occurred to make this happen.
Let's start with myself. I love corn dogs. America's meat wrapped in America's blanket. Who wouldn't like this healthy dose of capitalism and free market. It's the parts of a pig,cow, leprechaun that couldn't be sold as is. It's the left overs. It's smashed and grinded until it comes out looking like a cylinder of meat. Of all the meats, cylinders are the best. And because of it's pleasing shape, who wouldn't automatically forget that it comes from horse ass? That is some grade A level marketing right there. I also like to visit the bathroom. It's almost a hobby with me. So it is entirely in the realm of possibility that without my knowledge, I visited the bathroom while eating a corn dog that I made specifically for the bathroom visit. Multi-tasking. That certainly sounds like me, I'm a multi kind of guy. I'm typing this at the same time that I am looking at it, versatile I am. However, it couldn't be me because when I go to the bathroom now Bacon Hoss loves to follow me in. He also loves corn dogs and would want a bite. I of course wouldn't give him a bite because this is my corn dog, not his corn dog. He would then grab the corn dog and throw it in the toilet because that is just the kind of guy he is. He would also throw the stick in there as well ensuring that at some point in time I would have to fish it out. So by the process of logic, I can assume that it was neither myself or Bacon Hoss that left the corn dog stick in the guest bathroom. Mainly because I am a fucking adult and he is a fucking revengeful prick.
Little Hoss could certainly be the culprit in this case. Without a doubt this is something she would do. With her last pair of shoes, she left one outside. In the snow. I couldn't find it. I have no idea where it is. She came in and she had one shoe. I asked her where the other shoe was. "Ummmmmm" She's 8. What do you mean ummmmm. You had two shoes. Went outside. Now you have one shoe. Why did you take it off. Why is your foot wet. Aren't you cold? Ummmmm. So it is possible that she was eating a corn dog and decided to go look at in the mirror. Then she wanted to see what it looked like when she was eating the corn dog. She became very fascinated with this and continued to eat the corn dog while she watched herself in the mirror. However, at the end of eating the corn dog she remember that she might have left her shoe outside and went to go get it while leaving the corn dog stick on the sink. Although this story is fictional it has the ring of truth to it.
Let's get to my first born son. I don't even have to try very hard on this one. I love my boy but Jesus, kid is forgetful and easily distracted. He would be eating a corn dog at the table. He would then get up because he would have thought he saw the magical King Jeep the Fairy flying through the living room. Still carrying his corn dog, Bubba Hoss would have gone looking for King Jeep the Fairy. He wouldn't find him because King Jeep is a fast bastard. Did he go into the bathroom? Probably. And there my son would follow while still eating his corn dog. He would have looked around alot. He would have checked behind the toilet and he would have looked under the hand towels. Then he would have looked into the mirror. He would see his reflection and noticed that he was King Jeep the whole time! Crazy! He would have then put his corn dog stick on the sink as he has now decided King Jeep needs a sword. The swords are in the playroom, the corn dog stick is not. This is a very, very real possibility of what may have occurred. I wish I were kidding.
Three scenario's, three possibilities. I left out Hossmom but that was on propose. She hates corn dogs. I don't know why. She hates corn dogs and America, it's very sad. She doesn't like them because I don't buy the all beef ones. I tell her that she gets enough of that in the bedroom, wink wink. She hasn't stopped laughing yet. True love.
Look, I don't know who left the corn dog stick in the bathroom and I wish I could say that this is a rare occurrence. It is not. I find stuff like this all day every day. It's weird when you are walking through the house and notice on the floor is a bowl of cereal. You have no idea how it came there or where you were at when this happened. You eat every meal with the kids and they all put there dishes in sink, as required. But somehow, when you're not looking, shit like this happens. Somehow "put this in the sink" gets translated into kids speak a "put this bowl of cereal in the middle of the hallway."
I'll give the lecture again because it's the only thing I know to do. I'll save the corn dog stick, hold it up like I found the Holy Grail and ask who the prepatator is. Everyone will point at Bacon Hoss because he can't talk yet. Bacon Hoss will look at me then throw a banana my way. The banana will ricochet off my head and somehow land up in my bed. Tomorrow I will find it and wonder how and why a banana slice is in my bed.

Independent Candidate FOR United States Senate 2016
FYI, I was the only independent candidate in NY who made the U.S. Senate ballot for 2012 as a true independent. I campaigned all across NY and spoke to thousands of people. I for one and many others are tired of the two party system which produces more of the same partisan politics. The truth is that unless we stand up and vote outside the party then everything is going to remain the same. Greed and corruption will win over Common Sense and conservation. Decisions will be made for us instead of by us. Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand never ever ask us what we want, never ask what the people want. They make decisions based on political contributions and inside deals. When was the last time either Senator Gillibrand or Senator Schumer took an opinion poll or a referendum vote to determine what the people want? Never. They just think they know whats best for us and they don't. Now we are heading into Syria. Boy that is a stupid decision. It is clearly foreseeable that women and children will be portrayed as killed by American bombs. It is a no win situation. Why is is that we have to be the ones to fix the world problems? Where are Senator Gillibrand and Senator Schumer now? Why are they not educating us and asking our opinion? We channel billions of dollars to the mid east either directly or indirectly to Syria. We arm them then over turn the regime only to place more fanatics in office.
I believe the role of a U.S. Senator should be to act on behalf of the people after the people are advised and asked by way of vote.
I received about 24,000 votes in 2012 all on my own without any political party. Not bad for a solo practitioner attorney trying to make a difference. I did this without the backing of a major party and with no political experience. I was not happy with the placement of my name on the ballot. I was told my name was hard to find. It was definitely a full ballot so you had to take your time. I understand why people vote the party line. Who really knows anything about all the candidates on the ballot? Pick six, pick three, pick two, of course people are going to rely on party lines because it's just too much work to be educated on each candidate.
In any event I am very happy that about 24,000 people took the time to learn about me and decided to vote for me. I know voting for me was not the easy road of party lines.
Do you think I should run again?
After graduating college I worked in Asia(Japan, Korea) for A.F.E.S. (Armed Forces Exchange Services). I worked on military bases all over Asia and it was a very humbling experience.
Next I left Japan and my work with AFES for law school in Michigan. I graduated from Thomas Cooley Law School in 1995 and was admitted Into the A.B.A in New York in 1996. During my time in law school I was elected the President of my student body, President of the Italian law society and class representative of the American Bar Association. I received awards such as most distinguished student.
My original Desire that drove me toward becoming a lawyer began when i was a young boy. I had wanted to protect the animals, ocean and the environment. My father said that if I wanted to make a difference I would first have to become a lawyer. And so I did just that.
For many years I wanted to make a bigger difference than i could in my law practice but I needed to take care of my family and build my business first. This year I have made the decision that I simply cannot wait any longer and watch politicians pass legislation without considering the opinion of the public.
I took it upon myself to see if there are people out there that feel the same way I do. I collected about 27,000.00 signatures from Long Island, NYC and upstate New York to get the opportunity to be placed on the ballot this November as a candidate for U.S. Senator. Everyone is looking for a change and I can provide that by being an independent common sense candidate.
No more borrowing on the backs of the tax payers. I have personally experienced the pain that many New Yorkers are feeling. How can you protect yourself from greed and deceit on top of taxes? I am fiscally conservative and I will fight against spending money we don't have. It's hard out there and we need to keep as much of our own money in our own pockets as possible.
You can trust that I will advocate for common sense and public opinion. I stand for a Nation where honesty pays off. And the workers have the ability to have their voices heard.
My legal practice has been predominately litigation, foreclosure defense and debt related matters. I have tried to save people from the horror of losing their homes to foreclosure and proudly I have been successful. I have represented individual clients during my entire practice and so I know the trouble New Yorkers are facing.
I am born and raised in New York and so I know its time to take a stand for this terrific state. I'm running because I want to return the power to the people. Everything I want as a candidate I want as a constituent as well.
I Have set attainable goals not empty promises. I will make this promise this to you, if I am elected you would have a say. My focus as senator will be to educate you on the issues and let you decide. The decisions must be made by the voters of New York, not one person or special interest. To make sure that this is possible I will personally take the initiative to implement a proceduring policy to do so. If we can vote on our school budget, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to vote on taxes, social issues and every bill being voted on in the senate.
This video says a lot about me and where I stand on the issues. Do you feel things are out of control? Do you feel that something has to change, that things are just crazy, that we are heading down the wrong path? Well I do and voting for the President is not enough. I feel that we are losing control over our daily lives. I feel that the Federal government is encroaching upon State rights. That's why I am running for U.S. Senate. U.S. Senators make very important decisions that regulate our lives. It's time to put Mangelli in office to protect you, the silent majority. You are silent because you have other things going on in your lives and maybe you trusted your elected officials to do the right thing. But the time has come to put someone in office that has the courage to stand up for the silent majority. I know there is a silent majority and you must speak up by way of vote. I understand that you have a busy life and that you cannot really get involved with the issues by protesting or having rallies for or against certain issues. But wouldn't you like the opportunity to vote on it in private. If I can provide you with the opportunity to vote on issues of social importance would you? Voting with me will be a way to hold me accountable to you and not be strong-armed by special interest. Think about it. The issues will change but the fact remains that the current Senators will vote according to their best interest not yours. Has Senator Gillibrand or Schumer ever reached out to you and asked your opinion? Senator Gillibrand has been in office for several years and not once has she reached out to the general public and asked our opinion nor has she made that promise this year. Republican challenger Wendy Long thinks she knows whats bests for us but is more of the same. No other candidate has made the promise I'm making. To ask you what you think! To reach out to you, the general public and give you the right to vote on the issues. No one is saying that! Not one. Senator Gillibrand and Wendy Long think they know whats bests for us. Well, you know what, they don't. We should have a say in what's going on before they decide it. Having a say should not equate to protesting. I want them to vote according to majority opinion not special interest.
The main reason I am running is that the politicians make decisions without ever asking us. Once they are in office they forget the people. They don't forget the companies that gave those millions or the party that sponsored them. They forget the public. They forget the fact that they are supposed to be public servants not public rulers. However in an election year they tell us how much they have done for us. However, did they ever ask our opinion? Do they reach out to you or do you have to chase them.
If I was Senator I would be a public servant. First and foremost I would do the public good. It would be my job to reach out to you not the other way around. I work for you and I will never forget that. I will work for every New Yorker and I will not be swayed by special interest. I have a plan to hold myself directly accountable to you, the New York public, my constituents. I will directly ask your opinion on the matters that I am faced with. I will put the Senate agenda on my website and provide an opportunity for you to vote with me on the issues. I will not vote on any laws until you have been advised by me and you have been provided the opportunity to be heard in a private non-confrontational manner. Moreover, I will not spend one minute campaigning for reelection. I heard that elected officials spend 3-4 hours each day fundraising for their re-election. Where do you think Senator Gillibrand's 11 million dollars for her re-election campaign came from? Yet she claims on TV how she challenged her own party not to inside trade. If you spent three hours at work every day looking for another job, would you be employed long? Can you believe that our elected Senators and Congressman had to pass a law restricting them from having stock in a company that they are regulating or passing laws upon? I just can't believe that they had to be pass a law to do that. I believe the same goes for campaign contributions. Are you trying to tell me that 11 million dollars worth of campaign contributions comes without a hitch? What about party lines? If you are backed by a party does that come without a hitch? That's why I am an independent! No hitches. I can just do the right thing.
Let me ask you another thing. My opponents are very rich. Both talk about protecting middle class but neither are middle class. Senator Gillibrand is a multi-millionaire and Wendy Long disclosed over $1,000,000.00 in household income. She claimed she didn't make any money but her husband made over a million dollars. Do you think they are personally concerned with the costs of gas or can they afford it? Do you think they are concerned with the costs of groceries or medical insurance? How can they possibly be looking out for the middle class when they don't have any idea what it's currently like? I know firsthand what it's like because I am experiencing it right there with you. I will fight for the middle, working class because I am one of you. I know what common sense steps we can take to make our lives a little easier.
Let me ask another question. If you were a multi-millionaire why would you want to change anything? Everything apparently financially went well for you so why would you advocate for change? You wouldn't. Millionaires want to be politicians not to be leaders but to be rulers. Well I am no politician and no millionaire.

President Obama and Congressional Republicans actually view concerns about the deficit in two different ways and that is what has prevented a deal.
Obama for whatever reason actually thinks reducing the long term deficit should be important. He has put forward plans to include spending cuts and tax increase in order to achieve this goal. He has repeatedly tried to tailor his plan to get enough buy in from different groups for it to become law.

Posts Tagged 'Planet Water Foundation'
Clean Drinking Water in Vietnam
Categories: Making Our Difference: TBL CSR
According to reports from the World Health Organization and UNICEF, every year 3.6 million people die of water-related diseases. Access to clean drinking water is one of the basic needs we work to ensure all workers in our supply chain have.
During an assessment of factories in and around Hanoi, Vietnam, our Supplier Sustainability Team discovered that clean drinking water was the #1 concern among workers at the Stella Group's Golden Star factories in Hai Phong City, Vietnam (a port city located about 60 miles east of Hanoi). Although the water within the factory itself was clean, we learned that the community where many of the Golden Star workers live is far away, and far more rural: Residents there have to rely on groundwater and rainwater for drinking and domestic use, with little (if any) filtration.
When Timberland learns that access to clean drinking water is an issue in workers' communities, we call on our partnership with Planet Water Foundation to help meet the need. Planet Water Foundation is a U.S.-based, nonprofit organization that strives to bring clean water to the world's most disadvantaged communities through the installation of water filtration systems and education on how to use them.
In Vietnam, Timberland's Supplier Sustainability Team worked with Planet Water Foundation, the factory and the local community to determine the best location for two clean drinking water towers. The final selections were on the grounds of two kindergartens, where the highest number of community members would have access. The towers were constructed in July 2012.
One advantage of the Planet Water filtration system is that the system doesn't require any consumables. The filters only require nominal daily maintenance checks by school staff, and can last seven to ten years. When needed, the filters can be replaced for a modest cost. In addition, Planet Water guarantees each installation and returns to the project site every three months for five years after the installation to ensure that the system is operating correctly.
While the primary benefit of the water towers is better health through clean drinking water, there's a business case for brands and factories to provide a sustainable living environment for workers — as well as a humanitarian one. After all, when employees miss work because they're ill—or have to stay home to care for sick family members—productivity suffers.
Golden Star Factory manager Doan Anh Tuan sums it up by saying, "This project has affected our everyday lives—not just at the factory but into our communities and schools. We'll be feeling its impact for generations."
Clean Water in India
Categories: Making Our Difference: TBL CSR
Did you know:
- 1 out of 6 people worldwide are without access to clean drinking water.
- 50% of hospital beds on earth are occupied by people with easily preventable water borne diseases.
- In the past 10 years, diarrhea has killed more children than all the people lost to armed conflicts since World War II.
Alarming statistics! Unconscionable!! Which is exactly why we joined hands with the Planet Water Foundation (PWF) and long time business partner, the Farida Group, to address this very issue in a community where water borne disease was found to be highest in our survey among all the communities in India from where we source. With a financial grant from Timberland, Planet Water Foundation and the Farida Group installed a drinking water tower at the Quaide Millath School on 10th March, 2011 to provide safe drinking water to the school children and the local community in Ambur.
With the Farida factory located just about 10 meters from the school building, it was a perfect location to address the issue for both the workers and their families and children. Previously, the school purchased water supplied by local trucks but this water was basically undrinkable due to the bacterial contamination where both surface and underground water supply sources are polluted. Now, the community will have a continual supply of treated water from the tower which meets the standards of the World Health Organization, and uses no power or harmful chemicals for treatment. And Planet Water provides more than just installation – the community was provided with education and training on water health and hygiene; local community members were trained on how to conduct easy daily maintenance procedures; and the filtration system is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Timberland is proud to be associated with PWF and the Farida Group, and thankful that a sustainable solution for the Ambur community's drinking water needs was found. The looks on the children's faces says it all…
Ramit Pal Singh, Head of India Operations for Timberland was there to witness the community impact:
It was indeed a great moment to see the direct impact on the community. We all know how much the communities are affected by water borne diseases, especially the children in places like Ambur. The thing that moved me the most was the excitement and immense happiness with kids when they had the access to clean drinking water and realized that it's here to stay. Being kids, they could not say it in enough words but you could see in their eyes and make out what they felt while they were jumping and clapping which was so very satisfying. Work like this gives much more pleasure than just having a good day at office!
Community members and workers shared in Ramit's delight:
"We are so grateful to you and your company that we do not have words to express our feeling. The sights of these children drinking clean and safe water bring immense happiness to us. Thank you so much." ~ Mrs Jayanthi.G.N
"We … have never seen such a buyer who cares about us so much…….. we know your tree plantation work in Ambur streets and now this facility for cleanest and safest water is unbelievable. Thanks so much." ~ Mr. Shabeen Taj.V
The school management expressed their gratitude as well…"We are fortunate that Timberland selected our school for this great work. We are dedicated to maintain this system as it is and God bless Timberland for all its great work." But really, a thank you must go to the school that worked diligently to secure approvals from government authorities and for allowing the community members to have full access to the supply of water.
Mecca Irshad Ahmed, Managing Director of Farida Group of Companies was also present for the installation of the tower and had this to say: "Great work and thanks to Timberland for its effort. I am gamed to put Water Tower in each school of Ambur with support of Timberland. So let this be a beginning …"
I agree 100%, Irshad. Through our Code of Conduct assessments, we will continue to evaluate the need for clean drinking water in all the communities where our products are sourced globally. In addition to India, we have currently identified such need in Bangladesh and Vietnam. With support from valued business partners like the Farida Group, local schools in communities of need, and organizations like the Planet Water Foundation, solutions are becoming a reality. Together we are making a difference…Thank you!

Stephen, you couldn't be more right. There is no one quite like Jeff Tucker. Those pieces you cite couldn't have been written by anyone else. What's particularly funny is how authoritatively he speaks on things like electric fans, such that you don't dream of questioning him.
At an Austrian Scholars Conference not long ago, a bunch of professors heading to lunch got to talking about Jeff and his pieces. One particularly liked Jeff's recommendation that while you had to have $440 shoes, you could get by with $3 trousers from the thrift store. "After buying those shoes, I'd have to get my wardrobe from a thrift store," one of them said.
When Jeff latches on to something — whether it's baking your own bread or (the thing he was into when I was down there about ten years ago) rubbing salt into hams to make your own salt-cured ham — it is a matter of time before Jeff develops a full-blown theory about it, and why it is fundamental to the human experience.
Another one from the mid-1990s: Jeff was on a tear about the misuse of the plural in sentences like "Everyone should mind their own business." Jeff was going out of his way to say "his" in sentences like that. Thus when he made his own gumbo — another Tucker project — he was certain to ask his dinner guests, "Is everyone enjoying his gumbo?"
You just have to meet him, is all I can say. And no, he's not just pretending to be fascinated by whatever it is you're talking about. That's how he really is.11:12 am on June 17, 2005 Email Thomas E. Woods Jr.

If you have planned you wedding on some far away beaches with golden sands and waves dancing on the shores, then you must prepare for the dresses and attires that are the most important part of your beach themed destination wedding.
For such a theme chosen you would require a wedding gown or wedding attire that is more towards casual – something that is not completely formal.
Beach weddings are informal weddings and thus demand more of practicality than fashion in costumes.
So, how will you find the perfect beach wedding gown or beach wedding attire? It's easy!
Just go through these simple steps and choosing a dress won't be difficult at all for you.
1) Determine the type of gown or attire you wish to wear:
This will depend on what style suits on the bridegroom or groom.
Physical structure determines the appropriateness of the wedding gown or wedding attire.
There are a lot of options available in the market like for brides we can find a strapless gown,
a halter neck gown or gowns with short or long trails etc.
Men can wear loose linen trousers with shirts left untucked or hanging loose on trousers.
The choice will have to be made keeping all the aspects like heat, sand and beach winds in mind.
2) Create a theme and follow it completely:
Choose a theme, it can be nautical, flower based hippie theme or a tropical one. What ever the theme chosen,
compliment your wedding dresses and attires according to it. If you have chosen a Hippe theme,
then the caftan attires or dresses are perfect for the men as well as the women,
and are naturally flattering for all body shapes.
For a tropical theme choose the attires and dresses that are bright and natural.
3) Don't forget the guests and bridesmaid dresses:
To make your wedding more fun. It's important that the guest costumes and the bridesmaid dresses
too compliment the wedding theme. Inform your guests about the wedding theme many days ahead of
your wedding so that they get themselves ready for the day.
It's better to discuss with you family members and friends about the wedding gown or attire that will best suit you.
Additional thoughts can give you better ideas on how you'll want to dress yourself up.
Finding the perfect informal beach wedding dress won't be worth anything if it doesn't make you feel
comfortable and attractive on your wedding day.

ROCKWOOD, Tenn. (AP) -- An antiquated tariff designed to protect American textile mills from foreign competitors is being blamed for threatening a Rockwood company that manufactures carbon fiber.
The Knoxville News Sentinel is reporting that Toho Tenax America is slashing its workforce in half and closing a production line at its 100,000-square-foot building in the Roane County Industrial Park.
Company president Rob Klawonn said the company is being hamstrung by a hefty tariff that doesn't make sense. The firm is cutting 65 employees by Sept. 30.
The company makes super strong, super-light carbon fiber used in a variety of products, including "specialty high performance fabrics."
Klawonn said its fiber has nothing to do with clothing textiles and should not be subject to the tariff, which costs the firm at least $500,000 a year.
