CHICAGO, September 12, 2013 — With only a couple weeks remaining in the season, the PGA Tour Playoffs head to a relatively young course in Forest Lake, Illinois. Conway Farms GC, which enjoys the coastal breezes off Lake Michigan. is set to host its first ever PGA Tour event.
It has been said that both golf courses and players age like a fine wine, the historic surroundings of these grounds should pair well with a field that is chock full of seasoned veterans.
Henrik Stenson's victory a couple weeks ago at the Deutsche Bank put the Swede well positioned overall in the race. Regardless of his performance this week, however, there are many interesting stories taking shape. Tiger Woods remains atop the FedEx Cup point standings, but as history has shown, things could change rapidly over the final two weeks of the season.
This week's BMW Championship stages the world's best, strategically trying to maneuver themselves into a chance at that $10 million FedEx Cup bonus that is now within sight. It begins with the remaining 70 players, which will be whittled down to the top 30 by week's end to qualify for the season-ending Tour Championship.
The list of contenders for the richest payday in golf include many. One, a dark horse who always seems to play well come FedEx Cup Playoffs time, Steve Stricker, who happens to hail from nearby Wisconsin. Stricker announced at the beginning of the year he would be playing a very limited schedule.
At the ripe age of 46, Steve Stricker really needed to play well week in and out to put himself in position to have any look at the season long points title, which would be the crowning moment in Stricker's very solid career.
Phil Mickelson, at age 43, could also be described as matured and aged properly, and hey, the guy won the British Open less than two months ago. He is looking to the next two weeks to cap his career with his first $10M bonus as well as possibly gaining the inside track for Player of the Year honors as well.
Excluding Lefty and Sticks, there are still many players with a realistic shot at both the money and the POY honors; Masters Champ Adam Scott, PGA winner Jason Dufner, U.S. Open winner Justin Rose, and some guy named Tiger Woods. Tiger can ill afford another performance like he did at The Deutsche Bank two weeks ago when he finished tied for 65th.
Many notable names have already been eliminated from the race, storing away the golf clubs and picking up the fishing rods for the remainder of their 2013 season. These include former major champions Ernie Els, Geoff Ogilvy, Justin Leonard, and Stewart Cink.
Still breathing, however, are two players that were recently ranked the World's Number One, Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald. Both still have a chance to win a tournament or two, but have all but been officially eliminated from contending for the huge season ending bonus that is the FedEx Cup.
Thus begins golf's version of the Sweet 16, maybe call it September Madness. The picture will be much clearer come Sunday as to who will make their historical mark on golf. This week's champion receives the keys to a new Beamer and some cash, not a terrible consolation prize. The bigger story will be who is best positioned going into the Tour Championship.
History Lesson: The last three winners of next week's Tour Championship also walked away with FedEx Cup Trophy in hand, including the biggest payday in golf.

Earlier today at an Obama rally in Chesapeake, Virginia, former President Bill Clinton said that American can't export Jeeps to China:
"They used to produce Jeeps in China and they were about to go broke so they had to quit," Clinton said. "You can't make a Jeep in America and send it to China – it weighs too much, it costs too much to send over there. All they are going to do is reopen their operations there and try to sell Jeeps there too. We're doing fine here."
Not so hot, it seems. First, there is the simple matter of costs.
The Treasury Department says in a new report the government expects to lose more than $25 billion on the $85 billion auto bailout. That's 15 percent higher than its previous forecast.
Just as America proved to be such a safe haven for immigrants in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, it is now seen as a safe haven for wealth attempting to escape Europe's tax collectors and financial chaos and recession in Europe, and for foreign central banks newly enamored of the dollar.
Mitt Romney maintains that "President Barack Obama is holding on to the government's stake in General Motors to avoid an embarrassing financial loss before the election, and says he'd sell the stock quickly if he wins the White House," according to the Detroit News, which recently interviewed the Republican presidential candidate.
Paul Ingrassia, former Detroit bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, is probably the best broadsheet reporter ever to cover the car business. He and Joseph B. White won a Pulitzer Prize for their articles about how General Motors got busted to corporal by its fool management and union. Ingrassia wrote the book on "The American Automobile Industry's Road from Glory to Disaster," that being the subtitle of his Crash Course (2010). Now he's broached yet a larger subject, the car's whole effect on our entire nation.
Speaking in Ohio, Vice President Joe Biden admitted that auto workers lost jobs because of actions taken by the Obama administration:
Vice President Joe Biden didn't seem too worried about the auto workers who lost pensions and benefits because of the restructuring that the auto bailout required:
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has been considered America's fastest growing sport, quickly becoming a national phenomenon. But a new economic study shows even NASCAR's powerful engines haven't been able to keep up with the Obama-era economy.
Ramesh Ponnuru: "Obama Health Rule an Affront to Religious Groups"
Sean Trende: "A Demographic Divide: Could Evangelicals Block Romney?"
The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes, "Here's one good way to consider the vote in 2012: It's about whether to re-elect President Lisa Jackson, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, which these days runs most the U.S. economy." The Journal observes that the Obama EPA has now decreed that "America's fleet of passenger cars and light trucks will have to meet an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, a doubling of today's average of about 27 mpg."
Yesterday I pointed to President Obama's alarmingly statist "reasonable" view of his government's handling of Chrysler and GM. But in focusing on Obama's ideology, I missed the bigger story. To refresh, here's what Obama said:
Of all the email I received from yesterday's post on GM's Chevy Volt sales numbers, hands down the best was from reader J. W.:
The July sales numbers are out and the Chevy Volt continues to electrify (get it?) the country. GM sold … 125 Volts last month!
Contrary to what you're hearing out of Detroit, the auto manufacturing business in the U.S. isn't so bad. That's because foreign auto company plants, mostly in the South, are thriving. This is largely because such plants are free from the union albatross that hangs around the neck of the big three auto manufacturers.
As it stands now, the American workers in these foreign auto plants are extremely happy with their jobs, observes this Bloomberg report:

Cisco Unveils Star Wars-Esque Hologram Communication
Cisco has unveiled and demonstrated their new On-Stage TelePresence Holographic Video Conferencing. In layman's terms, it means that now you can actually do that thing they do in Star Wars when they talk to a Princess Leia hologram, and I have to say, it looks quite convincing.
The video is pretty boring except for the fact that it's a guy on stage talking to two holograms of people who are in other countries. In fact, they look so realistic that it took me a while to figure out that they were holograms. I kept advancing the video to look for the hologram part. So I think that's proof-positive that this is fully legit.
This is really heartening because there are so many things from the 70s and 80s that we were supposed to have in the future, and we still don't have them. Hello, hoverboards? Robot servants? Flying cars? Vacations on the moon? Robocop? And all we got is the Internet. OK, OK, actually the Internet is way cooler than all of those things I just named. But still, I'm glad someone's ticked one of these "future" technologies off the list and put it squarely into the present.

wow this is amazing, i like every post of your blog keep it up,i'm looking forward on your everyday post.. i enjoy reading it.
if you want link exchange please do visit my cool gagets blog http://www.geeksgadget.info
I call BS on this. IF a hologram, why walk onstage and off stage? Since when do holograms or how would they create footsteps? also, holograms are projected light, correct? why then were they, pick one person either person, lit up and having light sources? shit can't find the words for what i'm trying to say….the dude on the left was reflecting light from 2 sources, as was the guy who walked on from the right. He also was reflecting light. Last time i checked, maybe i'm wrong, but a hologram made of light can not reflect light…. right?
Even the olde netherlandshe painters knew that by painting WHITE in a dark filed you can SIMULATE emitting light. That's what's happening here.
Anyway, Karen, what's wrong about the story is: The technology of holographic visualization is Musion's, not Ciscos. Layman is talking about nothing but Ciscos Hispeed cable network beeing used for telepresence. The Video on Musions webpage makes ist clear – it also is not really a first.
…and, after reading the cryptic explanation on Musions webpage: It is not holographic at all.
It's a 2D-projection onto a very thin transparent foil in the stage that acts as an invisible screen, thus creating the illusion of a hologram.
Leia will have to wait even longer to appear anywhere on a table – if there's no "eyeliner TM"-foil on it, she will be appearing as flat as Roger Rabbit on the backwall of Ben Kenobis cave… -
The internet is better than hover-boards? I don't know about that…
@ manchicken: I know, it's a tough choice, but overall I'm still going to stick with the internet as being better than hover boards. But of course, I haven't actually had the opportunity to ride a hover board (yet) so I could be swayed I suppose…
Wow, imagine what the porn guys will do with this, dorks will never leave their apartments and strip clubs will be out of biz…
Star Track?
Star Wars ROCKS!! I Love Princess Leia. She is so dramatic.
well going off the cisco websites explanation it isn't a hologram it's just improved audio and video tele-conferencing. here is a video that they explain what the telepresence is.http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps7060/ps8329/ps8330/ps7073/prod_video_data_sheet_telepresence_1.html
the trick they used for the video up top seems to be using a transcreen(a thin window when set up properly is as clear as a window but shows images projected onto it).
transcreens have been used by hollywood in movies and has been used onstage with the band Gorrilaz when they did a show with Madonna(i think it was her could have been some one else.)
For all you hologram hobbyists, out there. what could be cooler than having this form of technology available within your own home.
Check out my link for a "how to" guide.

Well, we have more than the internet. We have smartphones and motion gaming. Soon the are going to implement motion technology into computers and then we won't need the mouse and keyboard. We'll just wave our hands. By the way, we have robot servants. Ever heard of robot-vacuum cleaners?

Building ExtUtils::F77 and PDL with MinGW will be fine for ActiveState perl (5.8). MinGW's fortran compiler (g77.exe) will be found and used if the MinGW\bin is in your path. See the Win32\INSTALL file in the PDL-2.4.3 source (or view that page at http://search.cpan.org/src/CSOE/PDL-2.4.3/win32/INSTALL ) for more complete details. >> It seems like it might be hard to get ExtUtils::F77 > > to compile for ActiveState, too. Not so - with ActiveState build 817 (or later), dmake and MinGW, you should find that both EU::F77 and PDL build "straight out of the box" with 'perl Makefile.PL', 'dmake', and 'dmake test'. Basically: 1) Install dmake and add the location of 'dmake.exe' to your path 2) Install MinGW and add 'MinGW\bin' to your path. 3) Install AS build 817 (or later build, if such exists). 4) Build and install ExtUtils::F77-1.15. (Don't try an earlier version.) 5) Build and install PDL-2.4.3 from CPAN source http://search.cpan.org/~csoe/PDL-2.4.3/ Cheers, Rob

Shoulder dystocia. Shoulder dystocia is a specific case of dystocia whereby after the delivery of the head, the anterior shoulder of the infant cannot pass below, or requires significant manipulation to pass below, the pubic symphysis.
It is diagnosed when the shoulders fail to deliver shortly after the fetal head. Shoulder dystocia is an obstetric emergency, and fetal demise can occur if the infant is not delivered, due to compression of the umbilical cord within the birth canal.[1] Signs[edit] One characteristic of a minority of shoulder dystocia deliveries is the turtle sign, which involves the appearance and retraction of the fetal head (analogous to a turtle withdrawing into its shell), and the erythematous (red), puffy face indicative of facial flushing. This occurs when the baby's shoulder is obstructed by the maternal pelvis.[2] Gestational Diabetes: The Emperor Has No Clothes - FROM RONNIE Falcão's MIDWIFE ARCHIVES.

(1802) Although medical and scientific evidence surrounding vaccination demonstrate that the benefits of preventing suffering and death from infectious diseases far outweigh rare adverse effects of immunization,[1] there were vaccination controversies almost 80 years before the terms vaccine and vaccination were introduced in 1798–1800. Opponents have claimed that vaccines do not work, that they are or may be dangerous, that individuals should rely on personal hygiene instead, or that mandatory vaccinations violate individual rights or religious principles.[2] These arguments have reduced vaccination rates in certain communities, resulting in epidemics of preventable, and sometimes fatal, childhood illnesses.[3] The success of immunization programs depends on public confidence in their safety.

Al Qaeda's external operations chief thought killed in US strike in Pakistan
The US believes it has killed the leader of al Qaeda's external operation branch during the Dec. 8 airstrike on a vehicle in North Waziristan.
Saleh al Somali is thought to have been killed in the strike in the town of Aspangla, near the main town of Miramshah in North Waziristan. The region is controlled by the dangerous Haqqani Network, a Taliban group with close links to al Qaeda and Pakistan's military and intelligence services.
Initial reports indicated that two Arabs from Saudi Arabia were among the three people killed in the Dec. 8 attack. A follow-up report, which later turn out to be incorrect, stated that Abu Yahya al Libi, a chief al Qaeda ideologue and propagandist, was killed in yesterday's strike in South Waziristan.
"There are strong indications that senior al Qaeda operations planner Saleh al Somali has died," a senior US official told ABC News.
A senior US intelligence official contacted by The Long War Journal confirmed that al Somali was the target of the strike, that he was a long time operative in al Qaeda, and that he had been actively plotting attacks in the West.
"Saleh al Somali is al Qaeda's latest external operations chief," the official said. "He was part of the original al Qaeda cadre. He goes all the way back to Mogadishu," the official continued, referring to the infamous Black Hawk Down incident that resulted in the deaths of 19 US troops and hundreds of Somalis during an operation to detain a Somali warlord in the capital in the fall of 1993. Al Somali was also active in al Qaeda's propaganda efforts.
Al Somali's close ties to Al Shabaab, al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia, have had US intelligence officials deeply concerned, specifically because dozens of US citizens have been recruited and are training in Somali camps. At least two Americans have carried out suicide attacks in Somalia this year. Both attacks were high-profile: one killed three Somali ministers, and another killed the deputy commander of the African Union forces serving in the country.
"This is why we have been freaking out," the official said. "The number of Americans being recruited here in the US is deeply disturbing. That they are leaving the US to train in Somalia and fight for Shabaab is worrisome. Some of us have feared al Somali would take advantage of these recruits to hit the US mainland."
Al Somali has been high on the US target list due to his position as external operations chief. The US targeted al Somali in the Nov. 18 strike in the Mir Ali region, also in North Waziristan. Eight Taliban and al Qaeda operatives were reported killed in the strike. Al Somali's position as external operations chief was not made public until today.
Al Qaeda's external operations network has been the prime target of the covert US air campaign in Pakistan's tribal areas. The US has targeted al Qaeda and Taliban camps designated to train operatives holding foreign passports, while the leadership of the external operations branch has also been hit hard.
Al Somali is the third external operations commander to have been killed since May 2008, when Mustafa al Jazairi was killed in a Predator strike in the town of Damadola in Pakistan's Bajaur tribal agency. The US killed Osama al Kini, Jazairi's successor, and his senior deputy Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan in an airstrike in the town of Karikot in South Waziristan on New Year's Day, 2009.
Background on US strikes against al Qaeda and Taliban networks in northwestern Pakistan
US intelligence believes that al Qaeda has reconstituted its external operations network in Pakistan's lawless, Taliban-controlled tribal areas. This network is tasked with hitting targets in the West, India, and elsewhere. The US has struck at these external cells using unmanned Predator aircraft and other means in an effort to disrupt al Qaeda's external network and decapitate the leadership. The US also has targeted al Qaeda-linked Taliban fighters operating in Afghanistan, particularly the notorious Haqqani Network.
As of the summer of 2008, al Qaeda and the Taliban operated 157 known training camps in the tribal areas and the Northwest Frontier Province. Al Qaeda has been training terrorists holding Western passports to conduct attacks, US intelligence officials have told The Long War Journal. Some of the camps are devoted to training the Taliban's military arm; some train suicide bombers for attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan; some focus on training the various Kashmiri terror groups; some train al Qaeda operatives for attacks in the West; some train the Lashkar al Zil, al Qaeda's Shadow Army; and one serves as a training ground for the Black Guard, the elite bodyguard unit for Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, and other senior al Qaeda leaders.
The US has carried out 48 airstrikes in Pakistan's tribal areas and in the northwest this year. There were 36 recorded cross-border attacks and attempts in Pakistan during 2008, according to numbers compiled by The Long War Journal. Twenty-nine of those attacks took place after Aug. 31. From 2004 through 2007, there were only 10 recorded strikes.
READER COMMENTS: "Al Qaeda's external operations chief thought killed in US strike in Pakistan"
Posted by kp at December 11, 2009 9:29 PM ET:
Interesting that the AQ external ops chief is Somali and has ties to Al Shabaab and we recently took out (or captured? His body disappeared for that very reason) Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan in Operation Celestial Balance a SF raid in Somalia.
A previous droned AQ external ops leader was Fahid Mohammed Ally Msalam AKA Osama Al Kini is Kenyan (for those forgetting their Arabic!) and his aide was Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan (who was another Kenyan ... despite that toponym).
I see a Horn of Africa shaped pattern here. Or perhaps a Horn of Africa shaped intelligence source for the past year. I can see why they might be worried. But I think AQ and AS will be too: how are they leaking info that's enabling all of these hits?
And a possible typo in the article? In this phrase: "This is why we have freaking out," the official said.". Perhaps should be "This is why we have been freaking out," the official said.

What is your take on Pakistan's conclusion of its offensive in South Waziristan?
Posted by Bill Roggio at December 12, 2009 9:23 AM ET:
You are reading my mind on the AQ Africa connection, I was trying to get someone t comment on this but notta. Also note the Suliman al Jazairi was Algerian. Clearly they are tapping int the African branches for external ops talent. But without more info I am merely speculating.

Does anyone have a link to a picture of Saleh al Somali? Google image search turned up nada.
Posted by Tyler at December 12, 2009 10:45 AM ET:
I'd be genuinely curious to hear if this al-Somali had a hand in that suicide bombing in Yemen on March 15 this year targeting a group of South Korean tourists.
In that case, the bomber was acting on behalf of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, but was a Yemeni who had trained in Shabaab camps in Somalia.
And as John Berger noted at the time, the message had come just a couple weeks after a Zawahiri video specifically aimed at exhorting both al-Shabaab and AQAP. A demonstration of Al Qaeda Central's enduring ability to coordinate global attacks.
Posted by Gringo at December 12, 2009 4:55 PM ET:
I have read SO MANY times about some AQ honcho being taken out in Pakistan only to have him pop up alive a while later, that I am very skeptical about any such reports. When a US official is quoted, there is at least some credibility. When I read about a Pakistani official's statement about some AQ honcho being taken out, I immediately file it into the Science Fiction folder.
Posted by kp at December 12, 2009 6:21 PM ET:
CBS has similar comment to Tyler in "Al Qaeda's Yemen Connection May Be Dead" pointing up the transfer of effort to Yemen by AQ (they need another war to fight).
Al CBS: Qaeda's Yemen Connection May Be Dead
And in another report
NPR: DId the US kill at top AQ Planner
Quote: "The sources said that officials are awaiting DNA proof that it was al-Somali who was hit in the attack"
Perhaps more evidence for CIA "CSI" team. I presume the hit in North Waziristan is not Pak controlled region(?). So getting a sample from the scene involves some "interesting" effort. Though they would also have to have an exemplar sample from him or or some relations (and so know his real name).
And to reflect on my earlier comment about the Somalia links ... perhaps it was items recovered in the Operation Celestial Balance raid that helped this attack to happen. I'm pretty sure phones and laptops were picked up in the raid if he was going to or from a meeting (hence the need for boots on the ground even if you can't nab the guy you want alive).
Posted by Marlin at December 12, 2009 6:53 PM ET:
This is an interesting tidbit about al-Somali.
"Since the summer of 2008, I believe he was involved with planning to shift some of al Qaeda's Arab fighters to Yemen" - the conservative state in the Arabian peninsula alongside Saudi Arabia's southern border, where al Qaeda has pushed an increasingly violent insurgency in the past year.The diplomat said that between one-quarter to one-third of al Qaeda's units in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region are now led by non-Arabs, in a transition from "100 percent of these units which were once led by Arabs."
The diplomat also revealed some intelligence reports which suggested that al-Somali had traveled to Yemen in the past year to get a firsthand look at the situation there.
"There was always a bit of a time lag in this information, so it was impossible to target him," said the second Arab diplomat. "But eventually, his killing has proved that al Qaeda is becoming increasingly vulnerable."
CBS News: Al Qaeda's Yemen Connection May Be Dead
Posted by blert at December 12, 2009 11:54 PM ET:
There seems to be some confusion about AQ's Yemeni connection: it is absolute.
All of the 'Saudis' on 9-11 were in fact Yemenis traveling on KSA documents.
KSA HAS ALWAYS permitted Yemenis this unique status and unrestricted immigration. They are the blue collar labor force for the Saudis.
bid Ladin, the father, was an Yemeni who hooked up with the King -- becoming his preferred contractor for palaces, airports and such. Hence the fantastic bin Ladin fortune.
Yemen is home ground for AQ. If you remember it was Yemen that cast the sole no vote in 1991 against the American initiative to oust Saddam. We cut Yemen off from foreign aid for a decade after that. Her nay vote lost over $1,000,000,000 in that time. ( We'd been giving over $100,000,000 per year in various aid at the time.)
The Yemenis, as a result of KSA remittances, have one of the boomingest populations on the planet. AQ is in a recruit rich environment. Yemen should be a focal point -- even more so than AfPak.
BTW, the piracy business in Somalia is cross-linked back to Yemen. In this endeavor the Somalis are the face of the attacks; the cash and scheming come from Yemen. Just think of Somalia as a cut-out for Yemeni piracy.
Posted by dlw at December 14, 2009 1:24 PM ET:
When you say "American" suicide bombers, are we talking about Americans of Somali descent? Americans specifically from the Somali expat communities that were dropped into cities like Columbus, OH after the US withdrew from Somalia in the 90s?
Just wondering how radicalized those communities are specifically as opposed to a larger radicalization of American Muslims in general.

My Echium wildpretii is in bloom and I'd hate to just let the seeds go to waste. Can someone give me good instructions on collecting the seeds?
I tried last year with an E. wildpretii x pininana cross and didn't get much. Here's a photo. The plant is "only" 6 feet tall (they are often a few feet taller). Blooms in its second year (or later) and then dies. Hardy to 25 F or so for those who are curious. My seeds were from J.L. Hudson; Annie's Annuals also sells plants. A closeup view shows the roughly 1/2 inch flowers that open increasingly farther out from the central stalk (dead ones are dark purple). A seed forms at the base of each flower. The inflorescence contains many thousands such flowers (and thus forms many seeds). |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've not grown E. wildpretii here since it is not hardy. It is gorgeous though! Anyway, the other echiums I've grown seem very easy to get seed from since they hold onto them and do not drop immediately. The flowers die and the base of the flowers dries up and then the seed is ready. Is this not true of E. wildpretii? Or were you worried since the cross from last year didn't produce much seed? I've found that straight species in general produce seed in greater abundance than species crosses. Remy |
I seem to remember that many seeds had already been dropped when the plant was still blooming. It appeared to be producing seed just fine. Whatever I did, I got very few seeds. For this plant, the oldest seeds are clearly not mature at this point. I just did a rough estimate/count as to how many flowers there are on one of these plants--about 10,000 (or more). |
Just for comparison, here's the hybrid. I believe the inflorescence was less densely full of flowers. This plant is sold as 'Mr. Happy' by Annie's Annuals, where I bought it. It grew a little bit taller in bloom, but the plant started out much larger as well. |
Nice pics Mark! Humm.. well if it is going to drop seeds before the whole thing blooms out, that is tough to collect seed. The whole flower stalks are too big to bag. You could figure out when the seeds are going to drop and visit it every day collecting those seeds on the verge of dropping. That is often what I do for plants that drop seeds. If you could figure out some kind of set up to make like those big dog cone collars that stop dogs from chewing on themselves after an operation and put them around the stems to collect falling seed, that could work. I have no clue how to make something like that, lol. Remy |

Good Night, Sleep Tight and the sleep lady shuffle SAVED my toddler's life, my marriage, and right now it's saving my sanity while I'm teaching my baby how to sleep.
I will give you my two cents- for a long time I was opposed to anything that would make my kids cry. But it got to the point where me trying to keep them from crying was causing me SO much frustration and it was also physically impairing me from the long term lack of sleep. My kids also weren't as happy during the day from being overtired. Yes, they did cry at first. But the amount of tears we went through to get them sleeping on their own was FAR less tears than what we were all going through out of tiredness and frustration. It helped me TREMENDOUSLY that their crying was their tired cry, so I knew they weren't really hurt, they were just tired and finding a way to blow off steam and go to bed on their own. Sleep Lady Shuffle was a good sort of compromise for me vs just leaving them in their crib to cry it out. The first three days were the hardest for us, but after that it goes pretty smooth.
For me, it came down to I was becoming a crappy parent and had a temper with my kids and just couldn't be the mom they deserved. The trade off was a few tears but we ended up with far less in the long run between everyone, and my kids were still the same happy kids during the day.
I am right with you on this. My 3 and 2 year old always battle us for bed time! I have thought about asking my pedi about melatonin or something to help calm them as they get wild at bed time. The things that would normal work for them have stopped working.

Album review
Downtown Uproar
"Good evening. WE'RE The Velvet Underground and you're allowed to dance, in case you don't know." So began Lou Reed's introduction to an album that was once described as "great songs in poor fidelity...and the sound sucks". While finishing the mastering of their fourth album, the majestic Loaded, for Atlantic, the Velvets—Lou Reed, Doug Yule, Billy Yule (sitting in for the pregnant Maureen Tucker) and Sterling Morrison—played a month-long residency, two sets a night, at Max's. Some shows were taped by Andy Warhol's scene-making underground pal Brigid Polk (aka Brigid Berlin), a crystal meth freak and participant in such Silver Factory epics as Chelsea Girls, Trash and Pork.
The resultant LP is unlikely to have been the last VU gig Reed played, but it's a stunning monophonic documentary of a pivotal New York occasion, an album that has held huge sway over David Bowie, Sonic Youth and R.E.M. among others for the bravura of its mellow, metallic-edged sound, as well as its gloriously decadent atmosphere.
In this deluxe configuration (with six unreleased tracks), Live At Max's will jolt many memories for anyone who discovered the Velvets backwards, from Loaded to the first album. While Lou, Doug and company turn out rhythmically hair-raising accounts of "I'm Set Free", "Candy Says" and "Some Kinda Love", VU freaks will also turn to non-box set takes of "Who Loves The Sun" (sadly, minus its jangly recorded intro) and the gay New Orleans epic "Lonesome Cowboy Bill". Both are impeccably delivered by the sorely underrated Yule.
The historical/hysterical frisson is bolstered by the asides of NYC poet Jim Carroll as he orders his Tuinol and double Pernods. After "Sweet Jane", received with the faintest of applause, Carroll gets his priorities in order: "Yeah, I heard it, but it's pretty new. Did you get the Pernod? You have to go the downstairs bar." Lazy bugger. August 23, 1970 must have been a great night. You can be there for a bittersweet taste. Don't forget your 26 dollars.

Chanel Iman Speaks Out—Again—About The Diversity Problem In The Fashion Industry
Chanel Iman has one of the most recognizable faces in the fashion business. As the daughter of an African-American father and a half African-American, half Korean mother, the 23-year-old supermodel has always been one to voice her concerns of the lack of diversity in the industry—a topic that has been under even more scrutiny than usual as of late.
As the cover subject for this week's edition of Net-A-Porter's The Edit, Chanel is once again opening up on her firsthand experiences with racial discrimination in the issue's cover story—a venture which The Edit describes as, thankfully, "not a subject [Chanel] is likely to shut up about any time soon."
"I think that everyone should be equal; it should be about color," Chanel began the interview by saying. "It's unfortunate that there is still a lot of politics involved in both the acting and modeling worlds. I do think we've come a long way, but things could still be a lot more diverse on the runway and in films."
In January, Chanel appeared in Beyoncé's "Yoncé" video alongside fellow black supes Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn, an experience Chanel deemed one of her greatest accomplishments.
"All three of us models are very successful in our careers, but because in the fashion industry 'there's only one black girl allowed', they've made us compete to be that one girl," Chanel described. "Beyoncé allowed us to show the world that we don't have to fight against each other. She gave us the chance to see that we are far more powerful together." Leave it to Beyoncé to bring the people together.
To read Chanel's full interview (which we highly recommend!), head on over to Net-a-Porter.

Imagine this: you sit down in a business meeting and your boss begins a long, important presentation. There's a lot of important information – too much information to adequately record as you scribble down notes. You'd prefer to use a laptop because you can type faster than you can write, but laptops are banned from meetings for being too distracting. As you rush to jot down one important point, you miss the next.
With the Livescribe Echo Smartpen, you can hit record at the bottom of the paper and a microphone built into the pen records the audio of your boss's presentation. You only need to write key words to highlight parts of the presentation. Then, in your own time, you can return to any point in the audio presentation by simply touching a word or sketch in your notes. Retention is maximized. The combination of audio recording and digital writing is why the Livescribe Echo Smartpen earns our TopTenReviews Silver Award.
The Livescribe Echo uses a camera in the pen tip that works with the microdots printed on the paper to track your pen strokes. This is a very effective way of recording your handwriting to a digital page. The accuracy of the digital page is less than a millimeter of spatial difference when compared to the physical copy. This makes it great for digitizing your sketches.
The most important part of this electronic pen's performance is the audio sync to the notes. Adding audio to your notes allows you have a more comprehensive record of the important points you want to remember.
Livescribe defines this synchronization of recorded audio to your digital notes as a pencast. Pencasts are particularly useful for anyone who needs to transcribe content word-for-word, such as a lawyer taking down a client's statement or a journalist doing an interview. Having a recording of a meeting serves not only as backup to notes during the transcribing process, but it also works as an accurate reference so you can clarify confusing notes.
Pencasts also allow you to create your own presentations by recording your voice as you write or sketch. You can share your pencasts online in the same way people share webcasts. This makes it a great tool to enhance and share your creativity. However, recording audio is also optional and can be muted in situations where it is unethical or not allowed.
Uploading pencasts from pen to computer is automatic when you connect the pen to the USB charger. You can also use the USB connection for real-time pencasts. This allows you to use the Echo as a mouse or as a tablet if you want to draw in a paint or photo-editing program.
The battery allows you to write continuously for up to ten hours between charging. This is plenty of life to make sure the pen doesn't die mid-note. Also, every time you sync with your computer, the pen charges.
The few downsides to the Echo's performance is the pen's size and the paper. All the technology packed into the pen's body makes it bigger than most pens. The size is comparable to a marker.
Livescribe does a good job shaping the grip so that it fits snuggly in your hand, but the size will lead to hand fatigue if you're writing for an extended period.
In addition, because the pen will only work with paper printed with the Anoto microdot pattern, you must either purchase additional notebooks from Livescribe or print your own paper. Printing your own paper requires a 600dpi or higher color laser printer that's compatible with Adobe PostScript.
The Echo comes with the Livescribe desktop software that allows you to archive, edit, play and share your pencasts. The software makes it easy to search for specific notes and pencasts. It also offers shortcuts to social networking sites for easy sharing. However, it lacks optical character recognition technology – a function that turns your handwriting to text that can be edited in a word processor. Your pencasts are still compatible with OCR software, like MyScript, but you must purchase it separately.
The Echo comes preloaded with apps that allow you to use the pen as a calculator, translator and stock ticker. You can also use the pen to compose music with the paper piano app. You can also purchase additional apps with categories that range from entertainment to education. For example, an Amino Acids app helps you learn how to draw and name three-dimensional amino acids while a Guitar app allows you to play the guitar on a drawn fret board.
You have the choice between three different storage capacities: 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. The 8GB model can hold 800 hours of pencasts. That's over a month of continuous pencasts! However, this much storage is necessary if you download dozens of apps.
Additional accessories are available for the pen as well, such as earphones with binaural microphones that provide better depth in your recorded audio. This is great for recording in large lecture halls. It also moves the microphone away from the pen, which eliminates unwanted noise that the pen's microphone picks up, like when you reposition your hand or if you write aggressively on the paper.
Setup is easy with the Echo. Simply download the desktop software, plug the pen into your computer, assign your pen a name and give it a four-digit password. Synchronizing pencasts to your computer is just as easy. Simply plug the USB into the pen, and your pencasts will transfer to your Livescribe software.
With all the many ways you can use this pen, be aware that you can easily get lost or frustrated if you don't take the time to learn each function. The printed interactive tutorial with the pen takes you through audio step-by-step instructions that quickly help you understand how to use this pen. You can also visit an online forum to view instructional videos and pencasts to help you understand how to use each function.
If you're still lost or frustrated, Livescribe provides excellent online support that includes frequently asked questions and tutorials. Also, you can create an account on the Livescribe website where you can communicate with a Livescribe helpdesk technician or an individual in customer support.
The Livescribe Echo Smartpen allows you to take comprehensive notes by synchronizing recorded audio to your written notes. In addition, the ability to download a wide-range of apps allows you to use this pen for much more than taking notes. You can play games, compose music, translate words, learn historical trivia and more. However, the special paper means that you'll have to purchase notebooks at a higher cost or print your own paper with a color laser printer rated at 600dpi or higher.
This smart pen syncs audio from meetings or lectures to your handwritten digitized notes.
You must use paper printed with a special microdot pattern.
The Echo Smartpen is an excellent pen for taking comprehensive notes with audio.

by Johnathan Pritchett
apologist, contributing writer to SBCToday
Let's start with a prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for Christmas. Thank you for sending Jesus to Earth, born of a virgin, to live a sinless life, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit. Under his power, the disciples were able to transform an Empire in a few short centuries. Because of this, paganism was eventually toppled as mainstream, and regardless of the actual date and time of year Jesus was born, your Church declared victory over paganism by celebrating Christian events on dates that may have been pagan holidays. Thankfully, what we have now as Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus, the giving of presents, the singing of songs, and the time with family, is so much better than the stupid pagan nonsense that it could have been. Help us to keep what's primary about Christmas, the advent, primary, and to enjoy all that comes with Christmas because of it. Forgive those who celebrate the Christmas, but who are ungrateful to give praise and thanks that without Christ, there would also be no Santa, presents, carols, or anything else they like about it.
In Jesus' name, Amen
= = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = == = = = == = = =
This time of year is very special. We celebrate the birth of the Savior of the world. For Christians, this is the primary meaning of Christmas. It is because of this, all other meaning associated with Christmas is possible. In Christian circles, we are right to remind one another of what is often referred to as "the true meaning of Christmas." But I like to call it "the primary meaning of Christmas."
Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. It is because this gift of God, all the other things everyone loves about Christmas flows. I love all of it. I love, first and foremost, Jesus and the celebration of his birth. However, I also, secondarily, enjoy the special worship services, the special time with friends and family, the presents, Santa, elves, Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, Christian Christmas carols, secular Christmas carols, and everything else about it as well. It is important to remember that the "everything else" doesn't distract or drown out the primary meaning of Christmas, unless one allows all of that to do so. The way one does not allow it to do so is to keep Jesus primary, not just as it relates to the significance of the advent, but remembering that without Jesus' birth, there would be none of that other stuff that even non-Christians enjoy about Christmas. The lost need that reminder as well. Without Jesus, December 25 would either be some stupid pagan silliness, or nothing but another day on the calendar. This is something our secular friends need to be reminded of when they whine and cry about the phrase "Merry Christmas" or protest a Nativity Scene on public property somewhere. Seriously...get a life.
So note, Christmas is not complete without its Scrooges. We have Scrooges both inside and outside of the Church. This is where the apologist in me wants to rail against them, hoping that the Spirit, rather than ghosts, will show up to set them straight. I hear the following all the time: "Christmas was a pagan holiday...Christmas trees are pagan...people are too materialistic...Jesus didn't celebrate Christmas...we don't know when Jesus was born..." and so on. Some Christians, and many non-Christians and secularists alike make these sorts of complaints.
By way of response. I offer the following. Indeed, Dec. 25 may have been a pagan holiday. So what? Jesus is Lord, and the Church demonstrated his Lordship by declaring victory over pagan holidays by replacing them with Christian holidays. Christmas trees may have been pagan, but again, the star or angel or whatever we top them with points back to the birth narratives of Jesus, which also, again, points back to the victory of Jesus over paganism. Yes, people can be too materialistic, but that all that means is that we need to remind them of the primary meaning of Christmas, and remind them that every good gift is from God. Acts 20:35 records a teaching of Jesus that it is more blessed to give than receive. It never says it is not blessed to receive. Were it so, there would be no reason to give since accepting the gift would not be a blessing. We should be more blessed to give, and blessed and grateful to receive. God loves joy, and enjoys it when His people are merry. So, while materialism is a problem, it is not a killjoy problem, but on the contrary, it is a teaching and discipleship opportunity. Jesus was selfless. However, his parents, and his followers throughout the ages have celebrated his birth, and it is good to do so. Thus, this objection that "Jesus didn't celebrate Christmas" is simply stupid and needs to be labeled as such. As for not knowing the exact date or season of his birth, this is irrelevant as well. What we do know, and what even many atheist scholars will affirm, is that Jesus was born. Celebrating it, and focusing our hearts and minds at a particular time of year for reflection of the incarnation is most welcome. December 25th is as good a day as any, and that it replaced some silly pagan thing as an act of declaring victory over it makes it all the better time to do it.
This and every Christmas, keep what is primary, primary, and enjoy all those other wonderful things that we love about Christmas in addition to the birth of Jesus. By keeping the primary primary, it comes with the recognition that without Jesus, none of the secondary meanings of Christmas would exist. Thus, all the truth, goodness, and beauty of this time of year can be embraced wholeheartedly with the joy, blessing, and thanksgiving that God wants us to have as we celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Certainly, God is blessed by us when we do so.
Merry Christmas!

For years, I have loved re-reading Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales" during this time of the year. It opens with a line so evocative of my own memories of Christmas:
"One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six."
As adults, we spend a great deal of energy trying solve the puzzle of our longing for the past, trying to recapture wholly those experiences that return to us only as a fleeting glimpse or a whisper just between our waking and sleeping. For me, these moments of "homesickness" are never more acute than at Christmas. I believe the reason for this is that these memories are uniquely imbued with the reality of my ultimate home, heaven. Christmas in a Christian home weaves the best of life (faith, hope, and love) around the deep reality of the gospel: God in Christ for us.
Thomas closes his poem with these words:
"Looking through my bedroom window, out into the moonlight and the unending smoke-colored snow, I could see the lights in the windows of all the other houses on our hill and hear the music rising from them up the long, steady falling night. I turned the gas down, I got into bed. I said some words to the close and holy darkness, and then I slept."
It is the desire to connect to "the close and holy darkness" to which our lives are drawn, around which our memories orbit, that guides us to the solution of the puzzle of our past. The only way home is not backward, but forward, is not in the futile attempts to recreate what has disappeared, but in the faithful decision to believe and to share with others that the best is yet to come, that there is a Father, a Brother, a family, a feast, and a home prepared for us.

One of my favorite songs to think on at Christmas is not even a Christmas song per se. I'm talking about "Come, Thou Almighty King," which says in the first verse:
Come, thou almighty King; / Help us thy name to sing;
Help us to praise,
Father all glorious, / O'er all victorious; / Come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!
(Listen the London Philharmonic Choir version here)
A king. That's exactly what the world received when Jesus, God the Son, took on flesh and dwelt among us. Although He was born of a virgin, Mary, in a cattle stall far—at least in quality if not in proximity—from palaces and golden crowns, that blesséd Babe was and is the King of all creation, deserving all of our laud and life. Praise be to King Jesus!
The Apostle Paul through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit captured the Christ's regality the following way in 1 Timothy 6:15-16:
15 …[Jesus Christ] who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
There are many powerful people in this world with vast fortunes, massive armies, and a supercharged ego, but they pale in comparison to our King. There are indeed many kings presently and in history, but our Jesus is the King of kings. The lords of the earth are undoubtedly powerful, but our Jesus is the Lord of lords. To Him they all will bow in either glorious surrender or crushing defeat (Phi 2:9-11).
In our day of political upheaval and rising anxiety, we would be foolish to put our hope in any government or its leaders. They are all corrupt in some level because they're all made up of thoroughly corrupt human beings. Furthermore, nations regularly rise and fall. For some, there are centuries between their rise and fall like with Rome, but for others, there are just a few decades between like we saw with the Soviet Union last century. In glorious contrast, our King has been promised by God to reign forever, "[Jesus] will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end," (Luke 1:32-33).
Dear friends, we dare not put our hope into something that is lesser and destined to fail. There is but one Sovereign. His name is King Jesus, and He's a blesséd Sovereign indeed. He is King of kings and Lord of Lords! It is in Him that we hope and rejoice this Christmas season, and it is to Him that we say, "Come again quickly, Thou Almighty King!"
The Gifts of the Wise Men and Our Gifts to Jesus
by Dr. Adrian Rogers
It's that time of year again...time for gift-buying, gift-wrapping, and gift-exchanging. What are the gifts we could bring Jesus this Christmas? One way we can discover that is to look at Matthew 2:1-12, which tells of the gifts the wise men brought Him on the night when God became flesh and dwelt among us.
by Ron Hale
"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck,
and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
That's the "duck test." Reasonable and logical. How does it apply to Phil Robertson and the firestorm that his interview created for Duck Dynasty? We'll get to that.
I have never watched an entire episode of Duck Dynasty and that's a fact Mack! However, I have watched snippets of the show here and there, read articles, seen T-shirts and caps, and have recognized the show's popularity. Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning from the sky, an interview with GQ magazine is released and Phil Robertson is fired from A&E network faster than green grass through a goose.

Coniston French Doors are constructed using quality hardware and engineered timber to minimise warping and twisting. Designed to stand the test of time
"Although the doors are described as white softwood, they have a plastic like finish and appear similar to Upvc doors which are a lot cheaper. Also I did not like the way the georgian bars were fitted,again with a plastic like finish."
"We wanted the Georgian Bar doors specifically for the multiple window panels, but don't be fooled by the picture on the website - these doors just have single sheets of glass with pathetic little wooden beads glued on top of the glass, they don't even join up properly! Looks cheap, go for the single panel version, they cost less and don't look fake. Overall build quality is lacking a bit, assembly instructions are poor, fixings are not strong enough. Frame is not pre-drilled."
"These are good quality doors with solid handles. My fitter knocked a hole in the back of my house, and only then discovered the frame supplied was as bent as a banana. However, when I explained this to the nice ladies at Wickes customer services, they organised delivery of a replacement frame within 24 hours. Many thanks to Wickes customer service and to the manufacturers for excellent service. The doors are narrower than shown in the picture - have a look at the picture of the coniston doors with 2 sidelights for a better idea of how these 4ft wide doors will look."

Jul 19, 2011 12:27 PM
TUCSON - The Skin Cancer Institute at the University of Arizona Cancer Center is sponsoring Melanoma Walk 2011 to highlight this deadly form of skin cancer and to raise funds for researching the disease.
Melanoma Walk 2011 will be held Saturday, Oct. 1, from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Arizona Cancer Center at UMC North, 3838 N. Campbell Avenue. Teams are forming now. Proceeds from the 1.5-mile walk will stay in Arizona to support melanoma research, community outreach and education and patient care.
More than 300 participants raised $30,000 in the inaugural walk in 2009.
"The walk is a fun event that supports and honors those impacted by melanoma. Proceeds from the walk truly make a difference and impact the work we do to prevent, detect and treat skin cancer," said Heather Hiscox, the Skin Cancer Institute's program development coordinator.
The Skin Cancer Institute is the only skin cancer organization of its kind that unites patient care, research, outreach and education into one coordinated entity. It operates purely on grants and donations.
Activities on walk day include free skin screenings from dermatologists and skin professionals, prizes and giveaways, live music and entertainment and information from event sponsors.
Advanced registration is $25, and children under age 5 are free. A kickoff event will be held Aug. 31 at 6 in Kiewit Auditorium, Arizona Cancer Center, 1515 N. Campbell Avenue. The first 200 people to register for the walk will receive two passes to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
