- Re: Anyone else going to cloth diaper?
This will be our third kid in cloth diapers. We're totally going to CD this one just like the last two. It actually hasn't been too much extra work for us. In the past disposables have plagued us with blowouts, yeast infections, and diaper rashes that we don't deal with doing our own diaper laundry, so I'm just sticking with it since I'll be doing CD with my second still for a foreseeable yearish since the kiddos are only going to be 16 months apart. IME they really haven't added that much work to my day either since I just dump the bag in the washer, add soap, and walk away for awhile and then come back and rinse them again. Disposables were leaking/ blowing out on us so much I was doing just as much laundry anyways, bwahaha!
We totally got into it to save money. We were without a working washer for a month, because the part had to get ordered over the holidays and I accidentally mailed it to our old house so it had to be forwarded. During those four weeks when we bought diapers I seriously spent like $140 in disposables and wipes because my kids pee and poop so much, and both girls were still in diapers, lol. I just sewed up a bunch of new diapers for this next kid so we have enough to take out our worn out ones (because being washed every other day for 2 1/2 years will do that to you, lol) and I've got enough diapers now to go birth to potty training for this next kiddo for only about $60! And they're so cute and fluffy
Seriously, when people say cloth diapers and baby wraps are addictive, they aren't joking. DH has actually restricted me to a $0 diaper budget, lol. It's a good thing he hasn't touched the fabric budget yet so I can just keep sewing more, haha.
Here are the ones I made so I have enough for two kids again. I think this brings me up to like 35 diapers aroundish...
This is my first pregnancy and I am thinking about cloth diapers. Since I'm having twins I would like to cut down on the problems associated with the disposables. Plus I've read that it's much better for their little behinds! I was just wondering what your procedure is? Do you have extra cloth that you layer in the diapers? Do you have to flush the solids and them put them in the hamper to wash? Or do you just throw the whole thing in and maybe wash twice... or is that why you rinse again? Do you line dry them or throw in the dryer? I know I have many more questions, but that's all I can think of now. Any ideas for the first timer? Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for all that info! I do have hard water, but we have learned that if we add a little 20 Mule Team Borax to the water when it is filling that it makes the water a little softer and lets the detergent do it's job. This last weekend I went to an event called Little Feet Repeats (like a baby yard sale event) and they had cloth diapers there,so I got a pack of two that I thought looked like I could use. It sounds exactly like the all in twos that you are talking about. I will have to get many more plus the inserts. I am glad you mentioned that there are different materials for the inserts. That is not something that I thought of looking into! I will look into facebook and more mommy forums, but I greatly apperciate your infomation!! I think the more people I talk to the more I'm really going to like this! It helps to talk to people that are actually doing it! Thank you again!!
We are going to do G diapers using disposable and cloth inserts. I can see how they can become addictive because they are sooo stinkin' cute! Can you tell me how many cloth diapers you go through per day at different stages - example, 10/day for newborn, etc.??
Usually for the NB stage we go through anywhere from 8-12 a day because they pooped so much. So I'd plan on 12 to be on the safe side for NBs. Now that DD2 is a toddler it's more like 6 diapers a day. With the AI2 systems (where you can rotate between covers and reuse them if they aren't pooped in) we usually use 3 covers for the whole day now, during the NB stage we would use 7 or 8 covers a day but my kids poop a lot. Around 2 months my kids started pooping less often and we changed less often and were able to reuse covers more often.

I do both kinds of digital....I dont usually use greenery in my art journal pages! lol
I do both kinds of digital....I dont usually use greenery in my art journal pages! lol
Color always grabs me first, and a well-designed preview is nice, especially when a designer includes a preview of the papers and even paper closeups that show 5 papers to a preview.
I also like to check out the elements. A kit needs to have embellishments to warm up or decorate the page, and items like flowers, greenery, brads, pins, staples, stitching, borders, frames, journal spots, themed knickknacks, and wordart are great. Hmm, I guess I'm saying that I like my embellies to have a purpose as well as look good, not be merely decorative.
I'm definitely into journaling, too, so I like elements that help get the journaling done and looking good in the process. To me, the story is what is important, the who, what, when, where, how, etc.
Most importantly, when I'm choosing a kit for purchase (or even a freebie to download), I look closely at the originality and quality of the items. If the designer relies heavily on CU items, I don't give the kit even 10 seconds of my time.
Told you I like to journal ... you should see how much I left out!
That's a good question. When I want to make a layout I have a topic in my mind and then I am searching for a kit. For example I want to create a Layout with the pics of our last holidays so I will look for beach, sun and summer stuff. Very important for me are the element especially the frames and all the small things I can use to make a cluster frame...
For me.First I look for theme in a kit and can it be used more than once.I don't care if it's mostly girl or boy,since I can use both.I always look at the layout done with the kit before deciding to buy.I don't like to recolor so I always look for the color I can use as is.
Dancing puts a smile in your feet.
I look at the preview first. Lets face it, if the preview isn't the greatest, you just don't sell your kit. I will look at the elements and if in small print I see "Not All Elements Shown" and there are only a few in the preview, I pass. This just tells me that the designer has not put 100% effort into it.
Second, I look for greenery if the kit has flowers. I have not yet came across a flower that doesn't have some sord of leaves LOL! I like to add flowers but the greenery will make those flowers pop.
Third, the addition of elements, ribbons, ric rac, buttons ... those are things that I look for. These days, clustering is big and if they don't have items like this, you just can't cluster.
Last, papers, I am not a paper lover but I like to see a selection of patterned and solids. That is my rant of what I look for in a kit.
My first reaction is color. :) I then look for the details. I like to take kits and blend (mash), extract (cut out), and change the pieces to make it my own work. If a kit has too many "realistic" elements in it, I pass it by. But that's just me. ;)
So, I read this yesterday and went home with a mission last night. I took MANY photos of all kinds of greenery in my garden and will create elements from them! I don't currently have any kits or collections for sale, so, when I have this set ready to go, I'll provide a link to download the elements for free. It's a good "first kit" practice project for me and I'd like to see what you think of them when you use them. Hope this helps!
What a good idea, I find myself searching for greenery in my stash too. I love the viney kind too, to weave in and out and around.

Highlights Of The 2008 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction
Highlight #1: Leonard Cohen, Still Classy After All These Years
Leonard Cohen, dapperly dressed in a black tux, thanked Lou Reed for his introduction and acknowledged that his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was "such an unlikely event" and "not a distinction that I coveted or even dared dream about."
In a self-effacing moment that would prove strikingly atypical through the night, Cohen then solemnly observed,
Cohen, who may have been the only speaker, including Jan Werner, Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and MC for the ceremony, to speak without notes (Lou Reed carried loose papers, a notebook, and a copy of Cohen's "Book of Longing" to the podium), then recited the lyrics of "Tower of Song" and promptly surrendered the stage to Damien Rice, whose rendition of "Hallelujah" seemed competent but pedestrian.2
Highlight #2: Tom Hanks, Best Introduction
Tom Hanks introduced the Dave Clark 53 with passion and enthusiasm that fell just short of inspirational as he reported on the meaning of pop music to a kid growing up – oh, at about the same time Tom Hanks grew up. His notes-abetted presentation may have been a tad over the top, but at least he was on task and able to demonstrate a genuine appreciation for the inductees.
Highlight #3: Let's see. Highlights, highlights, high-dee-hoo-dee-lights
Well, uh, ummm, … ah, I have it – Although a number of the older honorees looked shaky, not one of them required CPR.4
The Other 80% Of The Ceremony
To convey the tone of the rest of the evening, I first ask the reader to imagine the annual corporate meeting of the sales department of a life insurance company. A dinner is being held to honor the six salesmen who have been with the company the longest. These old coots seem nice enough, everyone seems to like them, and they may well have supplied a useful service to the community so there is no objection raised when they go on longer than necessary, tell anecdotes that no one in attendance quite understands, and seem a little confused as they thank spouses, mentors, teachers, friends, pets, … . This profile matches about half the honorees.
For the remainder, take a look at yesterday's post about White Whine. Now, imagine the Rock and Roll Stars Version of White Whine. A few examples follow:
Twenty-four hours ago, for example, I liked John Mellencamp more than I do now. He's clearly angry at someone who has done him wrong because he's going to have his son "kick their ass." He also notes that he knows what people say about him and how his anti-war stance makes him unpopular.
The Awards were, according to more than one speaker, sooooo much better before it became a TV show. As a viewer, these comments made me feel warm and tingly all over.
The host, VH1-C, was accused of – commercialism – wait, the punch line is coming – by Billy Joel.
The undeserved, much lamented death of the music business (or, more accurately, record/cassette/CD selling) was another recurrent motif.
Even Madonna, who seems to run everything in the Western Hemisphere that Oprah doesn't own, got sentimental over her lack of self-esteem as a child and her need, 35 years later, for people to "encourage [her] to believe in [her] dreams." On the other hand, while I can't be certain, I think it's possible Madge thanked me for something during her exhaustive and exhausting expressions of gratitude to her grade school dancing teacher, her agent's assistant's associate once removed, the critics whose negative reviews only fired her motivation, … .
Bonus: Unsolicited Advice To VH1-C Production Crew & Waldorf Event Planners
Here's a wacky idea – what if, when the honorees leave the waiting area (AKA the Waldorf Hotel kitchen) to mount the stage, the direction to their mark on the stage were made clear? Now, no one enjoys slapstick antics, not unlike that practiced by the Keystone Cops in their heyday, more than me. Watching the Ventures mill about before someone standing idly by pointed them toward the stage was a hoot. Even watching my man, Leonard, walk through the door into the bright lights only to realize that he was face to face with the live and TV audience with no means of determining the correct route to the stage gave me a tiny jolt of Schadenfreude-infused delight. And, when I saw John Mellencamp nearly sprint the wrong way, toward the backstage area, … well, let's just say, a knee was slapped and mirth prevailed. Heck, I'll even admit to being a little disappointed when someone literally took Madonna's arm to guide her to the stage.
Still, those in charge might want to consider adding a navigational aid to assure that the show runs smoothly. I don't see a need to pop for a GPS, but maybe you could – and I'm just blue-skying here – plant a big sign outside that door with an arrow pointing to the stage or instruct a flunky to stand outside the door through which the inductees enter and imitate a sign pointing unambiguously toward the stage.
Bonus #2: A Final Word On Leonard Cohen
"We're so lucky to be alive at the same time Leonard Cohen is"
You got that right, Lou
- Cohen was, of course, riffing on the famous proclamation Jon Landau wrote in 1974 as a Rolling Stone contributing editor, "I've seen the future of rock n' roll, and it's name is Bruce Springsteen." Leonard Cohen is too much of a gentleman (thank goodness, I'm not) to point out that within a year or two of that statement, Mr. Landau was Springsteen's producer and manager – and still on the Rolling Stone masthead. [↩]
- Rice's singing may well have been more effective for the audience at the ceremony. The audio of all of the performances seemed muddy, which may have been a broadcast issue or even a problem with my own TV. The production was simulcast but I couldn't tune in at my location. [↩]
- I like Tom Hanks, and I recall liking the DC5, at least during the British Invasion; other than my fondness for the actor and the band, the reason Tom Hanks introduced the Dave Clark 5 eludes me [↩]
- At least not on camera [↩]

Others are more like dandelions; they prove resilient to the negative effects of adversity, but at the same time do ... Read more

DAVID ECCLES, PRES HENRY H. ROLAPP, SECY. OFFICE OF AMALGAMATED SUGAR CO. LA GRANDE, ORE. Oct. 28"11. Hon Henry H Rolapp Ogden, Utah. Dear brother:- I presume you know that we have orders from the President to get acreage and continue this factory for another year. I want to say here and now that this decision has not been given from anything said by me. I had fully made up my mind that the end had come. The last evidence and influence I fancy came largely from brother Kerr. Now the fact is this has been an excellent year and I doubt us doing better save that we may increase the acreage. and to this end I shall at once devote my energies.

Subaru is a small division of Fuji Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. The name Subaru comes from a Japanese term meaning 'unite.' During the war, Fuji Heavy industries was known as Nakajima aircraft, a company responsible for making several fighter planes and bombers. Even the infamous Mitsubishi Zero fighter plane had a Nakajima engine in it. After the war, the company was forced to split up into 15 companies to reduce Japans weapon industry. Five of the companies joined together again to start a transportation company. Subaru's six star logo represents the five smaller companies that came together to form one large company, Fuji Heavy Industries. Smaller than its competition, Subaru is still highly profitable due to its functional vehicles and full time all wheel drive.

Numerous musicians in genres ranging from classic rock to country have drawn inspiration from Shakespeare. Some quote directly from the playwright, while others use his work to highlight the drama in their own stories or to further investigate an iconic character's point of view.

About the Songs
"Love Story" – Taylor Swift The reigning teen queen of country music takes inspiration from Romeo and Juliet for her latest chart topper.
"Romeo and Juliet" – Indigo Girls Originally written and recorded by Dire Straits, this song has become a staple in live performances by folk-rockers the Indigo Girls.
"Macbeth" – John Cale Underground rocker and former The Velvet Underground member pairs dark lyrics with a danceable, percussion-driven tune.
"Miss Macbeth" – Elvis Costello The legendary songwriter paints the fictitious Miss Macbeth as a sympathetic character – until she works a little voodoo.
"Ariel" – October Project Inspired by a character in The Tempest, this song is written as a farewell to Prospero (although his name is never directly mentioned). Ariel explains, "My name is Ariel / And I want to be free / It is your sorrow / That has made a slave of me."
"Sister Moon" – Sting The lyric "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" is taken from "Sonnet 130," which also gives Sting's album—Nothing Like the Sun—its name.

Was this review helpful? Yes No
Nice fragrance
This definitely freshens up a room. I spray in the morning, and it lasts most of the day. My husband likes it too.
I find the scent too masculine and strong. I'm leaning more towards floral scent.

The Parallel Government
Of The Entire World
All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Infidel Babe Of The Week
Can it be anyone else?
IBA Quote of the Week.
""The Koran teaches fear, hatred, contempt for others, murder as a legitimate means for the dissemination and preservation of this satanic doctrine, it talks ill of women, classifies people into classes, calls for blood and ever more blood. Yet, that a camel trader sparks uproar in his tribe, that he wants to make his fellow citizens believe that he talked to the archangel Gabriel; that he boasted about being taken up into heaven and receiving a part of that indigestible book there, which can shake common sense on every page, that to gain respect for this work, he covers his country with fire and iron, that he strangles fathers, drags away daughters, that he leaves the beaten a free choice between death and his faith: now this is certainly something that no-one can excuse, unless he came as a Turk into the world, unless superstition has stifled any natural light of reason in him." --- Voltaire (1694-1788) Translation by SIMONXML from "ISLAM – Dem Untergang geweiht" by Thomas K. Luther, p.24.

"An Islamic regime must be serious in every field," explained Ayatollah Khomeini. "There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humour in Islam. There is no fun in Islam."
"I want to be very, very clear, however: I understand and agree with the analysis of the problem. There is an imminent threat. It manifested itself on 9/11. It's real and grave. It is as serious a threat as Stalinism and National Socialism were. Let's not pretend it isn't."

Beautiful Save The Date
We're Hooked Save the Date Magnets The magnet was amazing. The staff was extrememly helpful with the changing the design to reflect our needs. I cannot wait to order our programs.
Love it!
We're Hooked Save the Date Postcards My fiance and I are super laid back and having a very casual wedding. We wanted our Save The Dates to be casual and reflect who we are and these "We're Hooked" postcards were perfect. We didn't take engagement photos so I found one that my future M-I-L had taken of us last summer. These were super easy to personalize and the design format on the webpage told me when the photo shouldn't be enlarged and helped straighten it and all that stuff. I was able to change/personalize everything I wanted to but left the majority of stuff the way it was because I loved it already. I do wish it had been the smaller size postcard to save on stamps, but oh well. MagnetStreet was easy to work with, kept me posted on the status, and got them to me asap. Awesome cards and great company to work with.
magnet save the dats
We're Hooked Save the Date Magnets love the magnets i orderd and they even sent extra ones for free!!!! great customer service also!!
It looks awesome! thanks
We're Hooked Save the Date Magnets I used this design for my dad's birthday party "save the date". He loves to fish-the design was perfect. I replaced "we're hooked" with "Jack's 70th Birthday Party" and the names with "BBQ at Noon"
Very Pleased
We're Hooked Save the Date Magnets My experience with Magnet Street was very positive!! I can't say enough good things about this company. My save the date magnet was for a 60th birthday party, and they worked with me to revise the magent to my event. They were very quick to get them revised and to send back for my approval and production was fast!! Needless to say I am very impressed !!

In 2001 I bought a Palm Vx which I had to resurrect twice (I smashed the display once, and it started getting flakey more recently). I think it's dead for good now (frequent hangs and crashes meaning maybe the RAM has gone bad somehow.) I have liked the utility of having an address book, calendar, and notebook in my pocket all the time, and that I can synchronize it with my Macintosh computer (alas lately through an iBook G3 since newer Palm Desktop software doesn't recognize the old unit). Whenever I look at reviews of potential replacements, the focus is on all the apps, its WiFi, and media playing capabilities. One would assume that the basic features are all equivalent and work fine, but I have learned that is an unequivocal bad assumption. A key problem for me is synching with OS X as that seems to be frequently an afterthought, so it is often the most limiting factor. I have looked at replacing my cell phone (Vigrin Mobile pay-as-you-go — another limiting factor) but cell phone companies are the most prolific liars about their products (especially when it comes to nuances of features). I should be able to enter address book, calendar, and notebook data on either the computer or the PDA. Synchronization should take place over USB or BlueTooth. From the home computer, the data should either sync to Apple's suite (Address Book, iCal, and preferably notes as files) or be able to be imported and exported in text (comma- or tab-separated) or at least XML. The PDA should support complete searches (e.g. on my Palm, I can search for a phone number and find its owner, or search on any field). The data should be protectable by password on an item-by-item basis (I had been using TealLock which supposedly encrypted my Palm data when locked). The PDA should truly be pocket-sized, and although I'm not overly concerned about price, things in one's pockets are prone to breakage and loss, so cost is an issue for those reasons. An iPhone, therefore, is plausible, but I wouldn't be using the phone features (I don't think it'll work on Virgin Mobile née Sprint) and without a plan, it's one of the most expensive options. I also saw this LG Android which apparently works pretty good without a plan (per one reviewer's comments). asked Jan 20 '12 at 11:42 |
IPod Touch!! There is a week/multi-day view, turn device landscape. You get WAY more out of a iPod touch or IPhone than any PDA. Just the standard features would but with apps, it can e whatever you wish linkanswered Jan 24 '12 at 10:29 Moomba |
I'd second the mention of an iPod touch. If you really only want PDA functionality then an entry level model or even a 2nd hand 3rd generation one should be fine. It seems as though the 3rd gen units are selling at bizarrely high prices on ebay, so a new 8GB model would probably be the best deal. It will sync over usb or bluetooth, or wifi, and will also (optionally) sync automatically via iCloud. The most notable feature you list that isn't built-in is the per-item encryption, although there is likely to be an app that will do that with notes. The device does have strong whole-disk encryption that protects it while locked (with remote-wipe or automatic wipe after 10 failed logins as user preferences), but when unlocked all items are visible. Items in the built-in apps are globally searchable, but if you bought an app for per-item encryption, these would only be searchable thorugh whatever interface the app itself provided. linkanswered Jan 24 '12 at 10:39 robin |
iPod Touch is an excellent solution. However, it sounds like you might be Apple-averse. I am also a Virgin Mobile customer and have been happy with the LG Optimus V smart phone. Pretty basic Android phone, running version 2.2. Not flashy but quite competent and usually well reviewed for what it is. Only downside I have with it is that internal memory is quite limited (200MB I think). You can expand external memory using micro-SD but some app's force you to store on the phone itself. linkanswered Jan 24 '12 at 12:35 pterhune |
Essentially any iphone/ipod touch or android smartphone will give you the basic pda capabilities. I am currently using an iphone 3gs for this, and while it has some gaps in functionality (such as no week view in calendar, no repeating events per day of week, etc'), these can be worked around. Both will sync with outlook and/or google calendar/notes. linkanswered Jan 23 '12 at 01:49 Aryeh A |
When my Clié (PalmOS) started crashing on me too often I replaced it with an iPod Touch (aka iTouch), which is essentially an iPhone without the phone—virtually all iPhone and most iPad applications will work fine on the iTouch. I chose to set it up to sync with Google's Exchange service so my contacts (addressbook) and calendar were easily accessible from the iTouch or from any computer with a 'net connection and a web browser. For notes, I use PlainText which is Dropbox aware. It's not as convenient as the automatic sync through Google's Exchange service, but it does work. The hardest part of the transition was extracting the data from the Clié's various .pdb files and converting them to something that Google could import, but my situation there was slightly unusual; I suspect that if you still have access to your data through any kind of desktop software you will be able to export the data easily. Overall, the iTouch has worked out better for me than the Clié did even when it was working well. linkanswered Jan 24 '12 at 10:37 Heptite |
Yup--iPod touch. I followed roughly the trajectory jolshefsky describes--from Visor from Handspring, moved to a low-end Palm when the Visor wouldn't synch with Mac, and then the Palm died/did not seem adequate. I love my iPod Touch 4th generation as a pda. Several free apps to access calendar and other PDA functions. The one app I've paid for & glad I did is GoodReader, which can synch up with Dropbox files for notes, databases, etc. (This app does more--I mention merely what I use it for.) Beyond pda functions, you can also search the web, catch up on your RSS reading, and more. linkanswered Jan 24 '12 at 10:48 Jlaurel |
I'd also recommend an iPod touch. It's basically an iPhone without the phone; all data exchange is handled over Wi-Fi. As mentioned abovbe, any iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android device should offer the ability to sync your calendars wirelessly, without effort on your part beyond a little setup. I use GMail and Google Calendar for my iPhone, and when I update the calendar in one place, it automatically updates in the other (so long as my iPhone has internet access, which it generally does). While I've owned both Apple and Android devices, I'd recommend an Apple device for you over an Android device. Something you may have heard about Apple's stuff is "it just works". Their support is great, too. Android devices tend to be a little more whiz-bang (Bigger screen! More megapixels! Battery-draining LTE connection!) and the need to differentiate Android devices from those of other Android manufacturers tends to result in customized builds that aren't able to take advantage of new software updates to the Android OS. linkanswered Jan 24 '12 at 11:11 |
Oh my gosh, this is going to be your EIGHTH vote for an iPod Touch! If I were an advertising consultant for Apple, and they wanted me to come up with an ad campaign for the perfect customer for an iPod Touch, it would be YOU! @pterhune, I don't think the inquirer is Apple-averse. He mentions wanting to sync up with his Apple Suite, and is interested in something that works with OSX. What he's not keen on is getting an iPhone. He doesn't want to be tied to a big contract (doesn't trust the phone companies) and he doesn't necessarily need a smartphone. Seriously, I can't think of a better product than the iPod Touch. It was designed JUST FOR this fellow! My suggestion is to just stick with a relatively plain phone (maybe a pay-as-you-go option) and get an iTouch (iPod Touch). You can actually install Skype onto your iTouch so when you're home with wifi access, you can chat with people right from your iTouch. linkanswered Jan 24 '12 at 14:35 Teni |
Pay as you go phone -- I've got a basic model TracFone. Buy time/minutes in bulk (online), and the cost averages around $10 a month! I'm swimming in minutes, more than I can use, b/c I generally only use when traveling. You've got to keep the "amount of time left" up to date in order to hang onto your assigned phone number, as well as purchase minutes separately, but that's the only catch. Text, talk, and nothing else. A real dumb phone. I couldn't be happier. linkanswered Jan 25 '12 at 07:02 Jlaurel |

Taking a turn 'in the woods,' confronting the goalkeeper's choice
Gégène, gardien de but (Gégène, Goalkeeper), a French serial from the 1920s. Image courtesy Thomas Bauer, Institut National du Sport. |
As Paul the Octopus shows, a life fully lived—even as an exotic sea creature—involves choice. Probability experts could state the odds of Paul's being right about the World Cup final between Holland and Spain. Every cephalopod is due a hot streak.
Theorists of chance and the mind long ago started applying their models to football games, with special attention to the penalty kick. In the current Journal of Sports Sciences, Greg Wood and Mark Wilson of the University of Exeter report the results of equipping 18 university footballers with eye-tracking devices as each takes five penalties. Researchers instruct the goalkeeper to wave his arms on some kicks and to stand still for others. Analysis shows that such movement harms the kickers' concentration. The taker has anxiety at the penalty kick as well.
One story of the 2010 World Cup has been tension between chance and certainty. Many observers—many Americans of my acquaintance—believe that in an event such as a World Cup, little should be left to chance. This opinion pertains especially to refereeing decisions, but also to such trivialities as placement of free kicks and throw-ins. The American football variant, naturally, maintains a pretense to precision in hand-carried yardage markers and in the game's frequent stoppages and conferences. "Why do they throw the ball down just anywhere?" I am asked, incredulously, during World Cup matches.
Philosophers, theologians and writers know the necessity of acting on uncertainty. To Blaise Pascal, life is a gamble: "We ought to work for an uncertainty according to the doctrine of chance." Existentialist writers of the 20th century found in goalkeeping and in goalkeepers a paradigm for reasserting the moral imperative of action.
Existentialist thought, of course, does not have its roots in Albert Camus—the Nobel Prize–winning goalkeeper to whom I will return—or Jean-Paul Sartre, but before. Well before Dante, whose Commedia theologian Paul Tillich refers to as the finest poetic expression of existential despair. Tillich finds the fundamental statement in Platonic thought. Plato realizes that existence in a transitory world alienates a person from an ideal, from the idea of being, from a divine essence that seems without substance in the world of human cares.
From wholeness to estrangement and back again is the journey Dante takes. Dorothy Sayers, although she could not complete a three-volume translation before her death, calls the work a "drama of the soul's choice." In the first stanza of L'inferno Dante describes a fragmented human soul far from home.
Nel mezzo del cammin
di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
ché la diritta via era smarrita.Midway this way of life we're bound upon,
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
Where the right road was wholly lost and gone.
(I.1–3, trans. Dorothy Sayers)
To survey world literature is to find that goalkeepers have been portrayed as seekers not dissimilar to Dante, as narrators of their experience, as personalities defined by the choices they make—especially when they have chosen the correct direction to dive for a penalty. Reading these thoughts about the goalkeeper as literary character, they seem banal. Goalkeepers as literary figures possess characteristics that many literary actors have—the power of agency, internal conflicts and demons, the capacity for self-disclosure.
Authors over time have intuited what Ken Dryden, in his memoir of 1983, writes in The Game. This is the story, of course, of Dryden's goaltending career. Within the work he reflects on the goalkeeper position in ice hockey, a sustained meditation for which I have yet to find a parallel in world football. "I am often afraid," Dryden says of the puck. Elsewhere, he writes, "Playing goal is not fun." He notes the ephemeral nature of the save in contrast to the permanence of scoring a goal. "Goalies are different," Dryden says. "[W]hatever it is, the differences between 'players' and 'goalies' are manifest and real, transcending as they do even culture and sport."
It is worth reflecting on the last phrase—"transcending … even culture and sport." What evidence do we have for goalkeepers' transcendence in football?
Many authors have testified to the goalkeeper's feelings of exposure and of rising above paralysis. Not only Camus, but Vladimir Nabokov, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Henry de Montherlant, Evelyn Waugh and Egyptian author Mustafa Badawi were goalkeepers, either in their youth or, like Camus, at amateur level. Football appears in passing in Camus's works The Fall, The First Man and The Plague. He is credited with the saying, "Time is an irritating inconvenience between football matches." In his work soccer and goalkeeping appear in positive light, as if it were an Algerian forward nicknamed "Watermelon" falling onto Camus's exposed kidneys or kneeing him "in the distinguished parts" that pushes Camus toward engagement in society as alternative to the alienation portrayed in The Stranger. Camus in Paris supports local team Racing because their shirts, blue-and-white hoops, remind him of those from the Algerian university side on which he played. Spotted by a newsreel crew at a match in 1957 Camus is dismissive of the Nobel Prize he received earlier that year but protective of the Racing goalie: "We shouldn't blame him," Camus says. "It's when you're in the middle of the woods that you realize how difficult it is." Camus uses the idiom that schoolchildren use when making a goalkeeper switch. "It's your turn to go au milieu des bois."
Nabokov, too, speaks with nostalgia of playing goal as a youth in St. Petersburg and at Cambridge. Footballers appear in many of his works, in Pnin and Pale Fire, for example. In one of his memoirs Nabokov writes, "I was crazy about goal keeping. In Russia and the Latin countries, that gallant art had always been surrounded with an aura of singular glamour." Nabokov's countryman, Yevtushenko, too, celebrates soccer in a 1966 essay in Sports Illustrated. With zeal he describes competing against a team that hid knives in their socks. They are called the Destroyers and play on a vacant lot behind a vodka distillery.
I do not believe every word of Yevtushenko's tale, but he views sport and, in particular, goalkeeping, as participation in a full life. He balances what he calls athletic narcissism, "the cult of the healthy body," against disharmony that comes from lack of physical activity. He favorably quotes composer Dmitri Shostakovich, known to support Zenit St. Petersburg. Shostakovich speaks of another musician: "What kind of composer is he if he is so scornful of football?" I should not need to point out at this point that these are men speaking about men. As the late Guardian football writer Steven Wells said, football historically in English society, and in much of the world, is a better marker of masculinity than possessing a penis.
In Nabokov, in his memoir Conclusive Evidence, published in 1951, a few dark clouds begin to intrude. The idea of the goalkeeper's separation from teammates is broached. Nabokov admits gaps in his attention after nights of verse-making and calls the goalkeeper's work "eccentric art." Nabokov, fashioning himself, many years after the fact, like famed Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin in his peaked cap and black gloves, does more than keep goal. He keeps a secret. He continues:
As with folded arms I leant my back against the left goal-post, I enjoyed the luxury of closing my eyes, and thus I would listen to my heart knocking and feel the blind drizzle on my face and hear, in the distance, the broken sounds of the game, and think of myself as of a fabulous exotic being in an English footballer's disguise, composing verse in a tongue nobody understood about a remote country nobody knew. Small wonder I was not very popular with my teammates.
Nabokov reminds us that the goalkeeper's role to large extent is culturally determined. How a society, a football press, and supporters view the goalkeeper's mission varies. Most everyone could agree that a goalkeeper, in any sport, occupies liminal space. The goalkeeper stands at a threshold between two realities, goal or no goal, desolation or new life. Goalkeepers are polyvalent figures, subject to interpretation and psychoanalysis. German national goalkeeper Robert Enke's suicide in 2009 was seen in this light. In media reports, his father cites his son's "fear of the ball being shot at his goal." In all probability, more relevant to the case is Enke's history of depression and the earlier death of his two-year-old daughter.
If historian Eric Hobsbawm is correct in saying that nation-states are sometimes best personified as a team of 11 named people, the goalkeeper bears the brunt of much of this nationalist projection. This is how Brazilian novelist Carlos Drummond describes the goalkeeper Cláudio Taffarel after Brazil's victory over Holland in a 1998 World Cup semifinal:
Saint Taffarel who is in goal
Like a guardian angel
Sweet like honey
Defending our goal, our hope, our happiness.
The counterpart is Moacyr Barbosa, goalkeeper for Brazil at the 1950 World Cup final who allowed a late near-post goal against Uruguay. This resulted in shocking defeat before more than 200,000 at the Maracanã in Rio. In a 2005 biography the author Darwin Pastorin compares Barbosa to the scapegoat of Leviticus, driven to wilderness, sacrificed for the good of the community. That Barbosa was black meant that repercussions were even more menacing within Brazil's racial complex.
Even earlier in football history the goalkeeper acquired special agency. In some cultures he embodied the potential of the state or had the power to resist malevolent forces. Vratar' respubliki, the goalkeeper of the republic, shows how early the concept of goalkeeper as national defender took hold in the former Soviet Union. The story first was a socialist realist musical. Lev Kassil', a writer of youth novels, published a book version in 1939. The protagonist, Anton Kandidov, competes for a soccer-playing commune after living out the socialist lad's ideal, his talents spotted as he catches watermelons being unloaded from a cart. The climactic scene is a match on Red Square. Kandidov, who has returned to his commune after an unsatisfying interim as a professional, keeps to his line in this match—he does not venture as more individualistic goalkeepers might. In the musical, he listens to a chorus sing, "Keeper, prepare for the fight. … Imagine there is a border behind you."
Before Kassil', Spanish poet Rafael Alberti, attending a King's Cup final in 1928 between Barcelona and Real Sociedad of San Sebastián, finds himself drawn to Barça's Hungarian goalkeeper, Franz Platko. Alberti calls him the blond bear. Historical context is vital for reading this poem, titled "Platko." Alberti refers to camisetas reales (royal jerseys) and las doradas insignias (golden emblems) of Real Sociedad, which means Royal Society. Alberti emphasizes that a team of monarchy—a monarchy propped up by dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera—plays a Catalan side of Republican resistance. Before this game, supporters had been barred from Barcelona matches for three months for booing Spain's national hymn. Platko, the "goalkeeper in the dust," in Alberti's phrase, transcends the goalkeeper's natural position of anxiety and defends a 1–0 Barcelona victory. Alberti projects onto Platko a Dante-esque rebirth, reading significance into the fact that Platko is foreign, displaced, yet able to reclaim identity by backing a just cause. In historical fact the game ended 1–1 and had to be replayed twice before Barcelona prevailed.
Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz on Holocaust Remembrance Day this year recalled another heroic goalkeeper. In 1943 the Czech Jirka Taussig was transported to Theresienstadt ghetto, where he played in the soccer league for the used clothes warehouse. He played at Auschwitz as well, part of a league the SS organized for its own amusement (see 28 Jan 10). "It was almost like a regular game," says Taussig, 91, who lives in San Francisco, "with grass and goalposts."
To this point I have not said anything about the best-known goalkeeper text, which is The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick by Austrian writer Peter Handke. It is extraordinary work, the sports novel that is not a sports novel. In chronicling the sad, slow decline of a former professional goalkeeper, Joseph Bloch, Handke sustains the metaphor of the penalty kick throughout. We learn that Bloch's life dilemma results from the goalkeeper's angst over choice, trying to guess which corner the penalty kicker will choose. It is a never-ending mind game. For Bloch, the paralysis morphs into semiotic confusion covering every area of life. His epistemology becomes so rigid that he cannot accept mundane human communication at face value. "What number should one start counting at?" Bloch asks himself. Or, "Gradually it began to seem that every word needed an explanation." Or, "[E]verywhere he saw a summons: to do one thing, not to do another."
The late Argentine writer Osvaldo Soriano creates a comic variant—the goalkeeper who must wait a week to field a penalty due to an end-of-match riot. He courts potential girlfriends by asking which way he should dive, left or right. Joseph Bloch may be the prototype for the introspective goalkeeper separated from his mates. Goalkeepers with whom I have spoken are irritated by this literary creation, not just by Handke but perpetuated in the press and popular media. Their critique is that goalkeepers integrate themselves in the side by necessity—no one survives stresses unless they view themselves as part of collective enterprise. Modern goalkeepers, in fact, are both defensive players and vital to the attack of many teams by distributing the ball directly to attacking players.
If one divides a football pitch of some 80,000 sq ft by 11—a meaningless exercise, I know—each player is responsible for roughly 7,000 sq ft. The goalkeeper has no more ground to cover than anyone else, although the duties seem greater because the penalty area is demarcated. Other than the touchlines these are the most important markings on the pitch. Other players change positions with some fluidity, attackers tracking back, defenders drifting up front. Only the goalkeeper stands within a marked section of the playing surface and bears special responsibilities within it. Characteristic of grassroots football grounds are the worn patches in front of goal. A Brazilian saying goes: "The grass doesn't even grow where the goalkeeper stands."
Robert Green, the England goalie dropped from his number-one position after fumbling an easy chance against the United States on the World Cup's second day, knows this sorrow. His picture now could appear below the epigraph of Handke's novel: "The goalkeeper watched as the ball rolled over the line" ("Der Tormann sah zu, wie der Ball über die Linie rollte …"). On a scale unlike any other sporting event, Green's flub becomes electronic effluvium, replayed in stop-action sequences on televisions, computers and mobile phones on every continent. The moment also recalls the story by Brazil's Sergio Sant'Anna, "No último minuto," translated by Richard McGehee for the Sport Literature Association conference two years ago. Literary critics say the story is the first in Brazilian letters to feature videotape as a structural feature. A goalkeeper watches a blunder, in Groundhog Day fashion, on rewind, absorbing the self-diminishing blows. This is how McGehee translates:
I have the ball securely and firmly against my chest and, suddenly, I feel that emptiness in my body. I'm holding air. The ball is escaping and penetrating softly into the goal. The ball doesn't even make it to the net; it just lies there slightly over the fatal line. And I grasp desperately to reach it, pulling at the ball there inside. But it's too late; everybody's already seen that it was a goal. The stadium explodes and I feel my own head bursting apart. I see and hear all of that: their team hugging each other, the buzz of the crowd, the fireworks, and our team running to confront the referee, in a useless attempt to have the goal disallowed. I hear and see all that, but it's like everything is very far away, without any relation to me.
"Without any relation to me" is a key phrase. Relation for Dante—relation to his guide, Virgil, to the salvific vision of Beatrice and to God—drives the poetic procession to Paradiso. For the goalkeeper, relation also offers potential to transform such isolation, even if only within the imaginations of readers encouraged by the written word to forgive.

FEMA tours flood-damaged areas
State and federal emergency management workers tour damage to a bridge along East Ohara Street in McDonald after Washington County was hit by severe flooding July 10. Four teams fanned out across the county to tour storm damage in several other nearby towns.

Federal and state emergency management workers fanned out across northern Washington County Tuesday to assess flood damage from the heavy storms that pounded the area two weeks ago.
The four teams of workers from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and its federal counterpart, FEMA, spent the day talking to municipal officials and residents about the storm damage and cleanup this area experienced from the recent storms.
The FEMA and PEMA crews, along with county public safety workers, are trying to determine if Washington County incurred enough flood damage to be eligible for federal disaster funds. Among the hardest-hit areas from the July 10 flooding were Cecil, McDonald, Midway, Mt. Pleasant, Peters and Robinson.
George Protch, McDonald's street department supervisor, took his group to view the borough's main park and three bridges over streams that flow into Robinson Run. He showed the damage to borough property, added up the cleanup costs and explained how the flooding could have been more devastating if it had happened the previous week during the annual McSummerfest activities at the park.
"If this had happened a week earlier during (McSummerfest) it would've been a disaster," Protch said while standing on the still-swampy football field. "They pulled out just in time."
Half of the teams were assessing damage to public properties while the other two groups were working with homeowners and small businesses to determine the cost of the storms. The overall flood damage in the county has to reach a yet-to-be-determined threshold for the federal government to release emergency funds to the affected areas.
In McDonald alone, 40 homes needed to be pumped dry, and five people had to be rescued from chest-high water. Borough officials said the flooding cost the municipality at least $27,000, a third of which came from damage to the park.
In nearby Cecil Township, one of the areas hardest hit by the storms, municipal workers are still trying to gauge the scope of the damage.
"Our park saw some flooding and damage," Cecil Township Manager Don Gennuso said. "There was a lot of debris on streets and roads. Lots of residents saw flooding."
Congressman Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, has already toured some of the affected areas in his district and wrote to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate asking for the agency to work quickly to release emergency funds.
"I applaud the quick action of FEMA and PEMA in getting out to the affected areas, and I stand ready to work with your office to ensure this process under the Stafford Act is completed expeditiously because many of the affected communities lack the budget or tax base necessary to deal with a disaster of this magnitude," Murphy wrote.
The FEMA and PEMA crews have spent time in Allegheny, Venango, Clearfield and Centre counties, and are planning to travel to Lawrence County later this week.
A spokeswoman from the Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Center did not immediately return a phone call seeking information on the overall flood damage to Washington County.
