Middle EastSwiss team visits Arafat grave ahead of probe Experts from University of Lausanne arrive in Ramallah ahead of the November 26 exhumation of Yasser Arafat's remains. 05 Nov 2012 16:19 GMT | Middle East, Israel Swiss delegation, headed by Professor Francois Bochud (centre left), at Allenby bridge check-point [Clayton Swisher]A Swiss laboratory team has made a brief visit to the West Bank city of Ramallah to prepare for the exhumation of the late President Yasser Arafat, a Palestinian official has said. The team, along with French investigators, is expected to participate in an operation starting on November 26 and expected to take "several weeks or a month" to exhume Arafat's remains as part of a probe into the circumstances of his death in 2004. Ahead of the exhumation, experts from the Institute of Radiation Physics at Switzerland's University of Lausanne made a brief visit to Ramallah, visiting the grave and meeting with Palestinian health minister Hani Abdeen and justice minister Ali Mhanna. "A delegation from the Swiss laboratory visited Yasser Arafat's grave to examine the site," Tawfiq Tirawi, head of the Palestinian investigative committee on Arafat's death, said. Tirawi told AFP news agency he met the team "to discuss next steps". Tirawi stressed that opening the grave to test Arafat's remains would only take place once in the presence of both the Swiss experts and French investigators, who are running separate probes. 'Delicate procedure' Al Jazeera's Clayton Swisher, whose film What Killed Arafat? triggered the international investigations, spoke with the Swiss and witnessed their meetings at the Muqataa alongside engineers at the grave of Yasser Arafat. "It's a delicate procedure, given the amount of marble, concrete and steel involved, and the forensic examiners want to ensure the late Palestinian leader's body will be approached with great care," said Swisher, reporting from Ramallah. Arafat died in a French military hospital near Paris on November 11, 2004 and French experts were unable to say what had killed him, with many Palestinians convinced he was poisoned by Israel. French prosecutors opened a murder inquiry in August after Al Jazeera broadcast the investigation in which Swiss experts said they had found elevated levels of radioactive polonium on Arafat's personal effects. Polonium is a highly toxic substance rarely found outside military and scientific circles. It was used to kill former Russian spy turned Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, who died in 2006 in London shortly after drinking tea laced with the poison. Swiss experts involved in the investigation said traces of radioactive poison would be lost forever if Arafat's remains were not analysed soon.Source: Al Jazeera And Agencies

"Great, but ......."
Great reading by a great poet!
The only thing I think I had a problem with was that there was no pause or introduction between readings. It is almost as if he didn't even take a breath! It would have been nice to be able to play just the Christmas in Wales portion and have a sense of when it ended so my kids listening would not be so confused by all that came after.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of the readings are just as great and very seminal, just hard to swallow or understand for my 7, 11 and 13 year old. Just not quite appreciative of works such as ... "gentle into that good night."

ARCADIA, Calif., April 3— The circuitous route to the 2004 Kentucky Derby took another unusual twist at Santa Anita on Saturday when Castledale, a 30-1 long shot, won the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby.
Castledale, an Irish-bred colt ridden by Jose Valdivia, covered the mile and an eighth in 1:49.24 to give the trainer Jeff Mullins his second consecutive victory in the West Coast's most important prep for the Triple Crown season.
Castledale's third triumph in 10 starts did not become official until nearly 10 minutes after the race.
Castledale, whose only previous stakes victory was on turf at Hollywood Park as a 2-year-old, finished a head in front of Rock Hard Ten, who was making his stakes debut in only his third career start.
The Santa Anita stewards ruled that Rock Hard Ten, ridden by David Flores, drifted into the path of Imperialism inside the 16th pole and impeded his progress.
Rock Hard Ten was disqualified to third place, and Imperialism, ridden by Victor Espinoza, was moved up to second in the field of seven 3-year-old colts.
St Averil, the 11-5 favorite, was not competitive and ran sixth. Wimbledon, the 13-5 second choice, finished a disappointing fifth, just a month after winning the Louisiana Derby at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans.
St Averil and Wimbledon could be off the trail to the Kentucky Derby, which will be May 1 at Churchill Downs. Several highly rated 3-year-olds have already fallen by the wayside.
On the other hand, Castledale, who paid $62 for a $2 bet to win, will apparently run for the roses.
''I know how to get there now,'' said Mullins, whose 2003 Santa Anita Derby winner, Buddy Gil, ran sixth at Churchill Downs.
Valdivia, who recently went 73 mounts without a winner, did not get the call on Castledale until Tuesday, the day before entries were drawn for the Santa Anita Derby.
''I knew Jeff wanted Russell Baze to come down from Northern California to ride the horse,'' Valdivia, 29, said. ''I guess I'll have to send Russell a check to thank him for not making the trip.''
Kristin Mulhall, Imperialism's 21-year-old trainer, is the youngest person to run a horse in the race. If the colt runs in the Kentucky Derby, she will be the youngest trainer in the 130 runnings of the race.
Rock Hard Ten began his racing career Feb. 7 and made his stakes debut Saturday. Should he go on to win the Kentucky Derby, he would be the first horse to win the race without running as a 2-year-old since Apollo in 1882.
Quintons Gold Rush is trained by Mike Mitchell, who in 30 years on Southern California's thoroughbred tracks has never won a Grade I race. --------------------
Pollard's Vision Wins
CICERO, Ill., April 3 (AP) -- Pollard's Vision won the Illinois Derby on Saturday, giving his handlers bigger ideas for next month.
''We could be heading to Kentucky for the Derby,'' said Ginny DePasquale, an assistant to the trainer Todd Pletcher. ''We'll have to wait and see.''
The Illinois Derby is one of a number of prep races for the Kentucky Derby. Two years ago, War Emblem was a surprise winner in the Illinois Derby and went on to win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.
Pollard's Vision, who does not have a right eye, set the pace for an easy run. He held off all challengers in the field of 11 3-year-olds and beat Song of the Sword by two lengths.

October 13, 2010 1:25 pm
This week's release of the minutes of the September 21 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee points to an activist Federal Reserve that is in policy experimentation mode – an institution that feels compelled to take additional measures to energise the American economy yet is uncertain about the potency of its interventions. This mix, of a highly engaged institution having to operate with imperfect instruments, has implications that are felt well beyond the US.
Judging from the minutes, it is virtually a foregone conclusion now that the Fed will announce on November 3 that it is re-engaging in "unconventional policies" – a new programme of quantitative easing, nicknamed QE2. By buying securities, the Fed will be looking to "push" others into taking more risk – to push investors to move out on the risk spectrum and buy corporate bonds and stocks; to push banks to use their large excess reserves to make loans; and to push large companies to deploy their record cash balances to purchase equipment and hire people.
Most people do not like to be pushed into doing anything, let alone into taking more risk. They would rather be "pulled" by the underlying attractiveness of the activity. Because of this distinction, the minutes indicate that some within the FOMC feel "that the economic benefits could be small in the current circumstances".
As a body, the FOMC recognises that the benefits of QE come with potential costs and risks (including unintended consequences). Despite this tricky and uncertain balance, it feels compelled to act for at least three reasons: we are in the middle of yet another round of downward revisions to America's growth projections; inflationary pressures are subdued and could tilt towards price deflation; and other economic agencies, particularly fiscal ones, are limited in what they can do (either by choice or by constraints imposed on them).
Financial markets have understood that the FOMC may be forced to act. Accordingly, the dollar has depreciated and virtually every other asset – including bonds, equities, gold and other commodities – has rallied strongly in the last few weeks in anticipation of an announcement.
Policymakers in many other countries are less enthusiastic about the FOMC's likely course of action. Some of the scepticism is philosophical, linked to the view that the US authorities should be facilitating the required balance sheet adjustment rather than obfuscating it. Most of it is because many other countries do not want to deal with the negative externalities.
The more the Fed pumps liquidity into the US system, the greater the negative spillover to other countries in terms of large capital flows, asset bubbles and inflationary pressures. Countries not wishing to see their currency appreciate feel that they are being forced into one of two evils, if not both: impose capital controls and/or engage in what the Brazilian finance minister labelled "currency wars".
Having signalled their intention, Fed officials now face the difficult challenge of specifying how they will actually implement a new asset purchase programme. Will they target a level of purchases or a particular objective; and if it is an objective, will it be a market interest rate or a specific growth and inflation outcome?
The FOMC's natural inclination will be to retain as many options as possible. After all, it is navigating the economy through an "unusually uncertain outlook". Let us hope that such constructive ambiguity will also be enough to meet the considerable market expectations while limiting the already-high scepticism of policymakers in other countries.

4.35 M Votes Needed for First Bulgarian Referendum
The first democratic national referendum in Bulgaria, set to take place January 27, 2013 on the topic of nuclear energy, needs little less than 4.35 M votes cast to be valid.
According to Bulgarian legislation, the validity of a national refernum depends on the numeric turnout for last parliamentary elections, and needs to be equal or higher.
"This means 4,345,450 people will need to vote in January, if the referndum is to be valid," said in an interview Sunday Bulgarian election authority spokeswoman Ralitsa Negentsova.
For a positive outcome, half of that number - i.e. 2,172,725 people - will need to have voted "yes."
The question posed to Bulgarian citizens will be "Should nuclear energy be developed in Bulgaria through the construction of a new NPP?"
The specific cause for the convocation of a referendum is the unclear fate of frozen Belene NPP project.
The referendum was sponsored by the opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party, which gathered a petition of more than the 0.5 M legally needed signatures.
The poll was backed by ruling GERB party, which however via its MPs edited the referendum question, omitting a specific reference to Belene NPP.

In light of Leonard Nimoy's recent death, I went looking for "I Am Not Spock," a book Nimoy published in 1975. These were my search results.
I decided not to buy the book. As much as I appreciate Nimoy's talents and am sorry he's gone, I wouldn't plunk down 60 bucks on my own autobiography.
Legit. I hope they have it in toddler sizes.
Potty training can kiss my chubby ass
You might be thinking, "What the hell, Dirty Hooker? You've been gone for nearly two years and you come back with that?"
Yeah. Sorry.
I had a baby and struggled to find anything interesting to say before I acknowledged what might have been obvious to y'all from the beginning: I was a vapid, mindless void.
I didn't have post-partum depression. I just had a two-year-long case of being fucking dull and unimaginative. That might still be the case, but I do want to write again, and a couple of people have asked me to. I'm a praise whore, and a cheap one at that.
I didn't want to be a mommy blogger -- not because I have anything against mom blogs. I read a bunch of blogs written by talented women with interesting ideas. I couldn't imagine adding to the volume of information already out there in any meaningful way.
But I blog about what I live, and I am a stay-at-home mom now. Of course, I'm other things, too. I read books and play video games and drink whiskey. But most of my day is defined by caring for a toddler (and drinking whiskey), so that's what occupies most of my thoughts.
It's a good life, just not a sexy one.
The other difficulty I face in writing is that my life is relatively free of conflict. My primary challenge involves listening to a small person repeat the word "apple" 6 billion times without selling her to hungry cannibal clowns. It's a much different world from caring for my terminally ill parents, burying them, cutting off family members who made me miserable, getting laid off, and moving 1600 miles away. Now I live in a great house, I'm happily married, and I have a kid I adore.
As hilarious as stories about Alzheimer's and cancer are, I'm glad my life is no longer a country-music song.
My challenge now is to write about ordinary days that revolve around things like potty training.
See, I got back to the point eventually.
Scott Adams might want me to die, if I weren't so indecisive
Dilbert creator Scott Adams posted this blog entry recently, about his hope that his father, who was suffering from Alzheimer's, would die soon, and how he hopes anyone who opposes assisted suicide follows him. (Note: His father has since passed.) I have mixed feelings about assisted suicide, and you've heard it all before, so I won't bore you with more debate. I'm not worked up about what Adams wrote. They're the words of someone who's suffering, and I'm glad his family has finally found some peace. I can say with certainty that I wish I'd let my father die sooner. If any of my family and his close friends are reading these painful words, I hope you can understand. Dad was a good man and I loved him deeply, but it was way, way, way past time for him to go.
In April 2010, I approved surgery to clear a bowel obstruction. I didn't know it was a bowel obstruction. His doctors said it could be anything from a hernia to cancer, and they wouldn't know for sure until they opened him. I felt like an asshole letting him die from a hernia, so I said OK. He couldn't approve the surgery himself because he had Alzheimer's and didn't understand what was happening to him. He struggled while a nurse and doctor intubated him. I held him still while I stroked his hair and hoped I was doing the right thing.
I wasn't. I was profoundly wrong.
It happened nine months after my mother died, and I wasn't ready to let go. My weakness consigned him to another nine months of misery and pain, after which he finally died from another bowel obstruction.
I got a second chance to make things right after the surgery. His heart started to fail, and his doctor suggested a pacemaker. I could have said no. I should have said no. But after putting him through bowel surgery, a pacemaker was no biggie, right? Except that his body desperately wanted to die, and I robbed him of the chance to do it quietly.
Medical care for the chronically ill, and especially for the elderly, is a slippery slope. One thing leads to another, and eventually you find your father hooked up to a machine that's keeping his kidneys functioning and wondering how the hell you got there. It's like a TV movie of the week. One minute you're drinking wine coolers in your high school parking lot and the next you're a washed-up junkie snorting blow off a hooker's ass.
I said no to the last surgery, but I wasn't in charge at that point, so he went under the knife one more time. My biggest fear was that he would recover, in the sense that "recovery" meant more misery as he slogged toward the inevitable. I was relieved when he died a few days later. He never woke up.
Maybe assisted suicide is the way to go. Maybe it isn't. I'm still not sure. I'd settle for the ability to back away from lost causes. For the most part, I followed his doctors' advice. The decisions were overwhelming, and I held a helpless man's life in my hands while everyone around me, doctors included, suggested treatments that would extend his life -- and his suffering. It was easier with Mom. With a prognosis of three months to live (she died in two), it was easier to back away. It's a relief to hear someone say "enough is enough" when the grieving people around you are begging you to fight on.
Dad's been gone three years today. I'm not beating myself up over it anymore. I just hope the experience has given me a better sense of where to draw the line.
Check your fish, lest you DIE!
I'm 35 years old and I've been driving for only a year, because driving in New York City costs a billion dollars a year, not including parking tickets. So I scored another level in adulthood when I took the car in for a maintenance check. It was due for its 30,000-mile inspection, but mostly, I was worried about the fish living inside our Prius. The conversation with Devon went like this:
Me: I think there's something wrong with the car. The "check fish" light came on.
Devon: The "check fish" light?
Me: Yeah. The light that looks like a fish. There was an exclamation mark in parentheses next to it. The dashboard REALLY wants me to check that fish. I'm worried.
Devon: Sigh. I see.
I don't think he saw at all. Sometimes I think he just humors me. He said it meant "check engine," and the exclamation mark meant I needed to check the tire pressure. But that's retarded. I can barely drive, let alone diagnose problems with my engine and tire pressure. Toyota would never ask me to do something so out of my league.
Another year, another letter
Dear Mom, You're gone 4 years today. Most of the time I'm pretty philosophical about it. I mean, crying in my beer won't bring you and Dad back, so I might as well get on with it.
I'm not feeling so philosophical today.
You died when I was 31 -- hardly a child. But sometimes I think you never got to see the fully cooked version of me.
Devon and I are happy. We're having a house built. It's amazing. The kitchen would make you pee yourself. But then, lots of things made you pee yourself. We were a lot alike.
I had a baby girl in February. (I know, way to bury the lede.) The pregnancy was easy. The delivery was not. I spent two days giving birth to her, and it sucked, but I'd have done it for a week if I'd known how awesome she'd be. As I type this, I'm watching her try to eat her feet. You would have adored her. She has a smile that makes my heart happy. With the divorce and your sickness, I didn't spend a lot of time being happy in those last few years before you died. This is a nice change.
I remember when you were in ICU, and Devon and I told you we were getting married. We told you if we had a baby and she was a girl, we would name her after your mother. You were so happy you cried. You died two months later. You weren't going to see the rest of my life unfold, but I wanted you to know. I wish Aurelia had the chance to know you. You could make me guano fucking nuts, but I'd give quite a lot for some of your unwanted advice right now.
For years, I couldn't remember most of my adult relationship with you. I remembered my childhood and the period I'll call PD (Post Diagnosis), but the rest of it fell into a hazy void. I'm starting to remember now - sitting at your kitchen table gossiping, teaching you how to use a computer, helping you put on your socks.
It wasn't all good. I won't go into much detail here. Opening my own flaws to the world is fine, but laying yours bare, without giving you the chance to explain, seems like a dirty trick. But I'm not nearly as angry as I used to be. I know you were scared -- too scared to do the things you should have -- but you were good enough. I hope I will be good enough, too.
You would have been 80 tomorrow. Try not to get too drunk.
Scratch that. Party your old-lady socks off.
Sometimes you get what you want
While Devon and I were watching Doctor Who:
Me: I'd really like to watch the next episode.
Devon: OK.
Me: I'd also really like to be more drunk than I am.
Devon: That's...bluntly honest.
And that's the story of how I got Devon to make me a rum and Coke. And watch back-to-back episodes of Doctor Who.
The world is still an OK place, explosions and all
When news of the Boston explosions hit the Internet, Facebook and Twitter flooded with comments like, "What is wrong with the world today?" (*) The answer: Nothing. Nothing is wrong with the world today that wasn't wrong yesterday and won't be wrong tomorrow. Bad things happen to good people. Or, at least, random people. If you're over the age of 20 and you still haven't wrestled this truth to the ground, then you're brain-damaged, lying, or you've lived an exceptionally sheltered life.
I know jack about what happened in Boston at this point. Maybe it was terrorism, foreign or domestic. Maybe it was something else. Maybe some guy was a shitty runner and decided to take it out on Boston. We'll know more in the days and weeks to come. I saw videos of people running into danger to help other people, and I saw countless well wishes and prayers for the victims online. That's what's important to me.
A friend of mine noted that some of her friends have said they would never bring kids into "this world." One wanted to apologize to her child for the state of the world.
Fuck that noise. This world is awesome.
This world is full of ice cream and sunshine and great wine and push-up bras. It's also full of terrorism and rapists and dead babies and heart attacks. It's always been that way and it will always be that way. I might wind up with a raft of things for which I'll need to apologize to my daughter, but the state of the world I brought her into isn't one of them. I suspect her life will be a mix of ice cream and terror (and, with my genes, probably the push-up bra), but that's the price of admission. I'd rather teach her how to dodge and roll than how to get the vapors every time she boots up her computer.
(*) I hesitate to say how terrible something like this is because duh, of course it is. Whoever purposely killed, injured and terrified people doing nothing more offensive than littering should be ... well, should be arrested and tried before a jury of his peers. Even if he wasn't born here. I'm a freak like that. I add it anyway, here in the notes, because people act like you ate a puppy if you don't say the obvious about stuff like this. To the people of Boston and the runners and spectators from everywhere, my horror and sympathy are as sincere as anything I've ever experienced. (**)
(**) I say "he" because shitfaces like this are usually "he." It's not sexist. It's statistically accurate. Women are generally shitfaces in other ways. If the shitface responsible for this has a vagina, I will retract.
One girl, one cup
I'm taking the plunge. I'm gonna try The Diva Cup. The Diva Cup is a reusable menstrual cup that keeps her side of the bed from looking like a crime scene, supposedly. It replaces pads and tampons.
Now you know.
It comes in two sizes: One for women under 30 who have never had a child and another for women over 30 who have had one or more children, vaginally or via c-section.
They should have just named the second one "cavernous hole." Let's not dance around this shit.

Mass Effect 2 crew need therapy
Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 finally got cheap enough for me to buy off of Steam, and Mass Effect 2 is rocking my world right now. But I couldn't help but notice that everyone on my team is a psychological wreck, mostly related to unresolved childhood issues. That's why I'm renaming the game Mass Effect 2: Daddy Issues.
Miranda: A Cerberus operative in a skintight Seven of Nine catsuit. She was genetically engineered by her father to ensure his legacy and ran away because he was a controlling dick. Her loyalty mission involves keeping her younger but genetically identical twin sister hidden from their father.
Tali: A quarian who was on your team in the first Mass Effect. Her father is an admiral in the migrant fleet. In her mission, you discover her dead father was a war criminal who was experimenting on Geth. Depending on how you play it, Tali can be exiled for treason to protect his reputation.
Jacob: He hasn't spoken to his father in 13 years. Ten years ago, his father, an alliance officer, disappeared with the rest of his crew on a mission. You find out Jacob's Dad has been playing Lord of the Flies on a jungle world, where he coveted all the healthy food for himself, let his crew eat the tainted food that made them drooling morons, and killed anyone who opposed him. In my game, he's rotting in an Alliance prison, trying desperately not to drop the soap.
Thane: Thane is a spiritually-inclined drell hitman who is dying of some mysterious disease. He finds out his estranged son has taken a contract in an attempt to follow in his dad's footsteps and wants to stop him. This mission requires you to track down Thane's son and turn him back to the path of righteousness.
Samara: I'll call this one Mommy Issues. Samara is an asari justicar (basically, a Paladin) who is hunting down her daughter, Morinth. Morinth has a genetic defect that makes her a space succubus, and you need to help Samara kill her.
Grunt: Grunt was genetically engineered in a tank. His "father" was a Krogen scientist who created Grunt to be an instrument of destruction. Grunt's loyalty mission involves proving to the rest of the Krogen that he's a violent psycho just like them.
Jack: Jack is a tattooed, half-naked whack job who was terrorized as a child by Cerberus agents in an attempt to build a super biotic. In the end, she just needs to be loved. And kill people.
The writing staff of Mass Effect 2 needs serious therapy. Or a hug. I'm not sure. But I guess the crew has to be nuts to follow my resurrected ass around the galaxy.
The Scone Wars
Recently, Devon and I discovered the magic of the baby swing. It shuts off the crying and makes the baby sleep, which has been just short of miraculous. A true miracle would have been a swing that cleans poop out of our baby's vajayjay. With some of the extra time I'm no longer spending bopping up and down the hallway, I've been baking. These whole wheat scones are part of my effort to become to the scone master. It's a lot like a Jedi master but with less baby-stealing.
This recipe is modified from "How to Bake: Complete Guide to Perfect Cakes, Cookies, Pies, Tarts, Breads, Pizzas, Muffins" by Nick Malgieri.
Whole Wheat Scones
* This recipe works fine at sea level and about 5300 feet altitude. I haven't tested it higher. ** I used a scone pan because I don't play, but you can use a cookie sheet if you're a normal personal and don't have one. *** You can use 3 cups all-purpose flour instead of 2 cups AP flour and 1 cup whole wheat. If you do, increase the milk to 3/4 cup.
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup whole-wheat flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 eggs 1/2 cup milk egg wash: 1 egg beaten with a pinch of salt
Set the rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 450 F.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Cut the butter into a dozen small pieces and rub evenly into the dry mix until it looks like fine cornmeal. I use a pastry cutter or a few pulses in a food processor for this step, but you can criss-cross two forks if you feel like slumming it.
Whisk the eggs and milk together and stir into the flour/butter mixture to form a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces if you have a scone pan. If you're a savage and you're using a cookie sheet, grease the cookie sheet with butter. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces, then form each into a 5-inch disk. Using a sharp, floured knife, quarter each disk into 4 wedges. Place the wedges wide apart on the prepared pan.
Apply the egg wash evenly. Allow the eggs wash to dry, then apply again.
Bake the scones for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are firm but not dry.
The Digital Age is here. Check your spam folder.
Back in my day, we knew how to prioritize. Like, if you signed on to Prodigy, you had just enough time to make a sandwich, clean your room, feed the dog and close the door before your Mom heard the modem connect for your 2 am chat session. Kids today like to think they invented staying up all night fucking around online. I don't think I'm becoming a technophobe in my old age. I have yet to yell at anyone to get off my Sim Lawn. With my desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone, I'm more plugged in than ever. I've whiled away many an afternoon with a baby in one hand, a breast pump in the other and my laptop balanced between my knees so I can read books and surf Facebook. That's why I hope a recent New York Times column by Nick Bilton is mostly for funsies. If it's not, then I fear the older generations might be right: My generation might be filled with douche weasels.
Bilton writes about digital etiquette and how it has changed from the old days of answering machines and dead trees. He has some good points, which I'll get to, but he makes the mistake of starting his piece bitching about people who send email and text messages just to say thank you.
Dude, seriously, if you're too busy to deal with someone thanking you, you need to take a step back from your insane lifestyle before you have a stroke and die. No one is too busy to read "thank you." No one.
He sounds even worse when he admits he let his father leave a dozen unanswered voicemail messages, and his sister finally had to tell their Dad to text him. Nice way to treat the guy who contributed half your DNA. To be fair, I never answered my biological mother's voicemail messages, either. But that's because she was a pain in the ass who called me all the time. I've since arranged to call her once a month, and I think we're both happier for it. If someone's bombarding you with messages in a format you don't like, call him and ask him to do something different. Especially if his jizz made you who you are today. It's only fair.
Bilton goes on to quote Baratunde Thurston, co-creator of Creative Wit, a "comedic creative company," whatever that is. Thurston is peeved because people ask him online how they can buy his book when they can just as easily Google the information themselves. How sad. People want to know how they can give Thurston money, and that just sucks up his time like you wouldn't believe. Let me break this tiny violin out of my pill case.
Bilton does have a good point, which I promised I would get to: Know your audience. Odds are good that if you're talking to someone under 30, they'd rather get a text than a voicemail. Find information yourself if it's trivial to do so. That sort of thing. My father-in-law prefers to talk to customer-service reps on the phone. I feel like if I need to talk to a person, the business has failed me.
I have some advice for people at the top of the digital food chain, like Bilton: Don't be surprised if your audience isn't who you think it is. Just because someone chats on Facebook doesn't mean he knows how to use Google Maps. Just because she is 30 doesn't mean she shops online. I have plenty of friends who still use feature phones and pay per text message. Why would they text when email is free?
Throw people a bone when you know they're not riding your digital groove -- you know, people like your Dad.
You just might need more sleep when...
You go all Happy Gilmore on your child's arms. Long-sleeved onesies are an abomination and of the devil at 2 am when your squirmy 2-week-old has just soaked through a diaper. Me to Aurelia's arms: Why don't you just go HOME? That's your HOME! Are you too good for your HOME? ANSWER ME! SUCK MY WHITE ASS, ARM!
We've got her on a pretty regular feeding schedule now. There's nothing quite like looking down at my little angel's face while I feed her -- and listen to her last meal explode out of her ass. Shitting right after we've changed her diaper is her super power. I'm sorry my kid has a lame super power, but at least it's harmless.
Sleep is for weenies
Y'all are probably thinking I abandoned the blog. Nope. I decided to take a few months off to do some things before the baby was born, since I knew the few months after the baby would be a blur of sore nipples and diaper explosions. Aurelia was born six days ago, and so far that prediction has held up.
Labor and delivery ended up being a wild ride. We'd planned on an unmedicated birth, but, sadly, she appears to have my sense of direction. After 50 hours of trying to deliver a baby positioned backward and then sideways, I went for a c-section. She's healthy and wonderful. I'm sore and tired but also doing well.
My thoughts on the labor and delivery are still coalescing into something coherent, but here are some noteworthy items from the first few days post-birth:
-- In the realm of TMI, the first poop after a c-section is a lot like having a contraction -- out of your ass. -- Shitting and peeing yourself in front of strangers annihilates all sense of modesty. My boobs are the world's boobs now. -- Hospital gowns designed for nursing mothers suck. There are two slits for whipping out boobies, but they're not big enough to get a breast through comfortably. I'm not bragging here. I'm pretty average in the size department. So you can't breastfeed with them, but they leave you oddly exposed the rest of the time. -- We have amazing friends and family -- people who visited us in the hospital, gave us lovely baby presents, brought us food and wished us well on Facebook and via email. We are very lucky.
Even nostalgia can't kill Christmas
This last Christmas was my third without Mom and my second without Dad. At the risk of sounding like a jerk, the holidays aren't as difficult as I expected them to be. Veteran's Day is always hard without Dad, which is a weird holiday to feel melancholy about, but it makes sense when you understand how much Dad's world revolved around his four years in the Army. The first Christmas without Mom was difficult, but I find the unexpected moments to be the worst. I'm prepared for the holidays. I'm not always prepared for quiet moments waiting for a plane to take off or spying little old ladies built like bowling balls rummaging through produce at the supermarket. It won't ever be the same as it was when 30 people crammed into my mother's living room to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I won't spend any more days making Christmas cookies with my mother or helping my father decorate the tree. (A neighbor once joked that Dad's 40-year-old Christmas ornaments weren't the oldest balls in the house.) I miss those times, but I think I've retained their spirit.
The decorations and gifts and food were wonderful, but not because they were decorations and gifts and food. I've walked by spectacular displays and barely noticed them. I don't remember many specific gifts. I've eaten good food that I barely tasted. What made holidays special was knowing I was loved and cared for, and I still have that.
I still have a lot of that.
I have aunts and uncles and cousins and old friends who ground me to my past and remind me that I have always been loved. I have a husband and new friends who remind me that the present is worthwhile, and that the future is too important to get lost in the weeds.
Some things are better now than they were then. I don't have to spend the day watching every word I say in fear that it's going to set off World War III. Christmas dinners aren't going to end in drunken cursing matches. Nostalgia often makes things warmer and fuzzier than they ever really were.
I think again about those days making Christmas cookies with Mom. Sometimes she would cry, and when I asked her why she was crying, she said it was because she missed her own mother so much. My daughter will be named after my grandmother, a woman I can barely remember but who helped shape an entire lifetime of Christmases.
Shaping the holidays for my daughter is my job now, and as I think about the task in front of me, I find myself calling on my mother's memory. Knowing she won't be here to see my daughter's face or show pictures of her new granddaughter to her friends makes me feel like I've been robbed, much like she must have felt felt when I admitted that I didn't remember very much of my grandmother, who died when I was 2. I don't believe in God, but I believe in an afterlife where my parents are OK, where they can see that I'm happy. I know I'm deluding myself, but I need it and I don't care.
But it's OK. Even the good stuff is bittersweet when you're an adult. Holidays are better now than they were 25 years ago -- sadder, with less sheer exuberance, but with more texture because of what my parents left behind.
Jesus is the light, motherfucker
Those were the words on a Precious Moments spoon I got for Christmas from a friend. Maybe the "motherfucker" part wasn't there, but it was implied. Maybe that's because Samuel L Jackson narrates my internal monologue. Those are also the words I mumbled to Devon as his uncle read a passage from the Bible about the birth of Jesus. Devon held my hand and squeezed it affectionately. I'm interpreting it as an affectionate squeeze. He might have been willing me to shut the hell up before we got banned from Christmas dinner for the next six generations. I don't know why adding a "motherfucker" to something makes it wrong. I was talking about Jesus! It was Christmas! That's what I'm supposed to do!
Of course, at that moment, his uncle was complaining that the light over the sink was blocking him from seeing his brother in law. So in this case, Jesus was an asshole who wouldn't get out of the way, which is rude and Jesus should know better.
You don't get to be an asshole just because it's your birthday, Jesus.
This is TMI. No one should read this.
Dear Unborn Daughter, You are the reason I had to drive to Home Depot to buy an auger, a high-end plunger and enzyme solution. You are also the reason I spent two hours on my hands and knees in front of the porcelain god trying to make things right. I hadn't done that since my last bender, several years ago. I didn't want to admit to a plumber what evil I had wrought.
Yet somehow I can tell everyone on the Internet.
You're not even born yet and already you're kind of a jerk. I promise I'll still feed you, but I consider naked baby photos my revenge. I hope you don't mind the scrapbook I'm going to show to all your boyfriends or girlfriends.
Love, Mom
P.S. If you're not my daughter and you got this far, it's because you hate yourself. Rethink your life.
If you're anti-gun control, walk away. Come back when I'm funny again.
I've been thinking about the school shooting in Connecticut, like a lot of people. The comments on Facebook and in other forums are more or less the same as they are whenever this sort of mass-scale tragedy happens. The fact that we have a basis for comparison for this sort of thing is fucked up, by the way.
Instead of commenting in every place where it seems appropriate, I'm going to subject y'all to my opinion here.
1) No, people would NOT inflict just as much violence with knives as they would with guns. It's pretty hard to kill 27 people with a knife before someone takes your stabby ass out. In China today, a man armed with a knife stabbed 22 children and 1 adult outside a primary school. No one died. Guns don't kill people, but they make killing people a lot more efficient. That's why modern militaries have abandoned spears.
2) No one knows for sure what the Founding Fathers were jabbering on about with the Second Amendment. Maybe they intended for people to be able to protect themselves from government tyranny. Then again, maybe not. The Second Amendment goes:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
If you're part of a well-regulated militia and you own a gun, congratulations. If you aren't part of a militia, don't be so sure you have the high ground.
Addendum: Unless your rifle can shoot down a Predator drone, you aren't protecting your family from the government with it. You're waving it around in the air like a hick firing at UFOs.
3) We have the term "friendly fire" for a reason, because even highly trained soldiers and police officers fuck up from time to time. And these people get some of the best training in the world. People like teachers, accountants, hair dressers and bloggers don't usually have that kind of training, and expecting them to be combat ready just because they shoot pretty well at a range is insanity.
4) Guns don't cause violence. Maybe it's poverty. Maybe it's income disparity or broken families. Fuck it, maybe Super Mario is to blame, what with shooting all those fireballs at innocent turtles. I don't know. But we're a country that can't hold our ammo. We're like boozers at a bar. If you can hold your liquor, the bartender will keep pouring tequila into your shot glass. If you vomit all over the Maraschino cherries and threaten to kill the bartender for looking at you funny, you're cut off and kicked out. We're drunks who can't hold our Cuervo.
I'm not even sure tighter gun control would help at this point. There are already so many guns in this country, and making laws tighter might encourage people already living in fear to double down. But what we're doing now isn't enough.
Look at the math. It's unlikely you're going to need to defend your home from the government or your neighbors. Despite what the Internet says, the Apocalypse is not nigh, and your neighbors aren't coming to eat your wives and rape your livestock. It's more likely that you're going to be killed in the crossfire of something you had nothing to do with, or accidentally shot with your own or a friend's firearm. Even that's improbable, though. You'll probably die of cancer or a heart attack, so keep the faith. But pretending that gun violence has nothing to do with guns is willfully blind.
Social Me Facebook stalks you like your ex
I came across Zeebly's Social Me on Facebook and took the bait. It analyses your Facebook status updates and tells you about yourself. It's kind of like those quizzes in Teen Beat magazine that would tell you which New Kid on the Block you should marry based on your favorite ice cream and how often you changed your underwear. (BTW, it's over between us, Jon Knight. You never returned my telepathic messages.) Apparently, I use less punctuation and longer words than about 93% of Facebook users, which is weird, because it's not like I'm rocking the SAT words in my status updates, so the rest of Facebook must be using pictographs or something.

Business and labor groups have agreed on a key part of an immigration reform deal, which involves a new program that would allow lower-skilled workers come to America.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO reached consensus Thursday after weeks of closed-doors negotiations.
"We have found common ground in several important areas and have committed to continue to work together and with member of Congress to enact legislation that will solve our current problems in a lasting manner," the Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO said in a statement. "We are now in the middle - not the end - of this process."
In order to pass, a comprehensive bill would also need to address border security, employer verification, and a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country.
