Tool storage: Garage vs. shed
I'm in the process of organizing the garage and am considering purchasing an outside storage cabinet and storing all the gardening stuff in that (tools, empty pots, stakes/hoops, fertilizer etc.) because I only have a 2-car garage and the clutter is driving me crazy and makes it crowded.
Anyway, I'm wondering about the convenience factor. Those of you who store stuff in the shed - are there any items you still keep in the garage for easy/quick access?
Any tips for shed organization or brands of storage units? (Lowe's has Suncast and Rubbermaid big stand-alone units for about $250 - any rants/raves for these brands?)
I visited a friend in CA and was amazed at how uncluttered his garage was so it took some hints came home and bought some tall cabinets, kitchen like, shelves, and hooks and organized my garage and now I can find things. I bought a Troy Bilt earlier and hoped it would fit in the garage along with my vehicle, moved things around and whallah every is neat and dandy. I just fold the handles of the mower when stored.

yeah .. buy a hosue with a 30 x 40 polebarn ... a giant shed ...
and guess what ...
the clutter increased exponentially ... lol
THERE IS NO CURE.. period ....
and.. there was a wooden club house .... which would be perfect for tools.. but i gave it to the kids.... and they can barely walk into it thru their clutter ... its about 8 x 14 ... with a loft ...
my only suggestion .. just like building a patio ... get it twice as big as you think you need ... trust me.. it will be filled before you know it ...
i would prefer wood.. yeah .... it will rot in 10 or 20 years .... but you are a gardener... you should prefer the natural over the plastic .... to me .. its a zen thing ... wood looks so much better in the yard .... thank god the kids are aging beyond all the plastic climby things that used to clutter my yard ... in the abhorrent colors ... yuck .. but i digress ...

Ah, Ken - Clutter drives me BATTY!!! My family laughs at me because about once a year (and sometimes more) I go on a rampage and get rid of all kinds of stuff. My rule of thumb: If I don't use it at least once a year, I don't need it and OUT IT GOES.
Purple Heart has the truck coming by tomorrow morning, I've got boxes of stuff (perfectly good stuff, too - like coffee service for 8, a leather laptop case, etc.) to put out on the porch tonight.
My husband is the one who won't throw anything out - I tease and tell him he's just like a woman, can't get rid of anything....then when he's not around I chuck the cr*p anyway (and he's never missed a darn thing, either!). Comes from growing up with a mom who was a pack rat - I just can't stand all that stuff around, makes life too stressful.
So, no - the shed won't get cluttered. My problem is I have a habit of just chucking tools (and stakes and pots) in the corner of the garage instead of neatly hanging them on the racks; hence, the garage is always a mess. So I figure if I just throw it all in the shed at least my *garage* won't be such a mess LOL!
Location of either - garage or shed - is probably going to be the determining factor as to what works best in my limited experience. I have neither - garage or shed - but when I've done work at my parents house where my Dad kept all the tools in a shed way-at-the-far-corner of the property, I found it so annoying having to tromp, tromp,tromp across the lawn to get what I needed. The garage would have been a much more centrally located area for everything.
Depending on your situation, you may want to do a combo of the two: put the things you use the most in the most convenient location and the stuff you use less in the shed - or however that works for you.
Location is definitely an issue. Depending on when you use things, light can also be an issue. Our first house had a tiny garage and a unelectrified shed. I don't know how many times I had to just shove things into the shed because it was dusk and I couldn't see a thing in there. Another potential problem is access when there is snow on the ground.
We donâÂÂt have a shed and IâÂÂve thought about getting one multiple times. We do have a small one car garage that does have enough space to put shelves and a workbench. I hate clutter too, but I have lowered my expectations and adapted to less than perfect, for various reasons. (g)
We cleaned out the garage and organized it entirely last summer and I took photos so I would remember what it looked like. Sure enough, 6 months later, it was back to being a mess. IâÂÂm sure we could purchase more cabinets to make it easier to organize and keep it that way, but really I think it is our habits that would have to change. Actually, though, the garage is looking fairly organized right now. Even though it became messy again very quickly, I think that last time we organized, made clean up easier and faster and we didnâÂÂt have a big job at the close of the gardening season this year.
Butâ¦the shed question. We have a small property, so fitting in a shed would create more problems than it would solve and that is the reason I didnâÂÂt do it. IâÂÂd rather increase the size of our vegetable garden. If I had a larger property, I would actually love to have a separate area to put all my gardening paraphernalia. But, as Kevin points out, convenient location to where you need your most used tools is a big consideration. I gave a lot of thought to what I really needed and I concluded that I use only a few common tools every day. A trowel, a kneeling pad, a pair of garden shears & pruners, a 5 gallon bucket and my gardening gloves. The shears & pruners are in a draw in the kitchen and the gloves I keep in a basket near the back door and they go out the door with me and the 5 gallon bucket with the trowel in it is left in the garden, day in and day out. I bought a stainless steel trowel, 6 years ago and havenâÂÂt had to replace it yet. When I need something else, on a small property, a trip to the garage is quick and itâÂÂs a nice break from kneeling. (g) But I can see mxk3, that your circumstances and needs can be very different than mine. And IâÂÂve never had a shed, so I have no experience with that to share.
I have a shed and a garage (although we keep the truck outside). As well as location, size and sturdiness are huge considerations. My shed is 6x8 feet and had a tiny 2foot doorway - most annoying since the hose and lawnmower would not go through it. I had to turn it into a double door. Also, at this time of year, there will always be a couple of sheds which are lying on their sides having failed to remain upright in the east anglian winds...and plastic ones are the worst offenders, not only falling over but flying off across several plots. You will need to be able to stand up and turn about in the shed - those low ones which double as seats are a bit hopeless because everything gets thrown in and jumbled......however, Ken speaks a universal truth - clutter will always expand to fill the allocated space.
Ken, you are so right. No matter how big you build it, your 'stuff' will eventually fill it. Our house out here at the farm has a kitchen with three times the cabinet space I have ever had. It took us one year to fill all of those cabinets.
I now have a garden shed which is strictly for gardening stuff. I find every year I have to toss lots of pots and saved items (that I surely will use some day ---) just to keep it in order so I can find things.
Our garage is for cars and my husbands tool toys ---- every fall we have to do a major cleanup so there is room for the cars.
So, there will never be enough space. Stuff will always fill the void.
No, Ken does not speak a universal truth about "stuff". It does not magically appear out of the mist. Throw the sh*t out if you don't use it! Or donate it. Or freecycle it. Or whatever - just get rid of it!
I'm sure some of you will say to me, "Just put the stuff back in it's place when you're done and you won't have clutter!" LOL! So, yea, we've all got our issues - mine isn't stuff, it's laziness in putting things back in place.
I never got the shed. The garage is still cluttered. Pots everywhere, stakes everywhere. Sigh. Gotta straighten out the mess, I know. But hey - the stuff got thrown in there willy-nilly because I actually *use* the stuff and had to bring in from outside. I had a 2-1/2 car garage at my other house - what a difference that extra 1/2 makes!
I wasn't going to say anything about "stuff", but as long as you brought it up again, I have to loudly agree it isn't just a fact of life, it's a choice - maybe unconscious, but never-the-less a choice.
I suffer from that disease totally opposite of what some people call hoarding (don't get me wrong, I'm not calling anyone out here a hoarder. Anyway, I can't stand having too much stuff - especially stuff I don't use, probably won't use or just stuff waiting around until I give it a purpose. It goes and that makes me happy.
ho ho - this 'stuff' isn't mine! It belongs to numerous offspring, their mates and partners....and accumulates at every point in their lives which necessitates some sort of change. I would have no problem in simply piling it into the truck and taking the lot to the tip.....but the tearful confrontations and shouty accusations when so-and-so's year 7 school report, ancient hockey boots and 'favourite' winter coat is no longer sitting (along with the 30 other winter coats) in the hall, are more than I can bear.
Not that I am totally innocent of hoarding - this is a bit of a social disease in the UK where people have long memories of wartime deprivation (so those bits of string and elastic bands will come in useful).
I am often amused by the completely random nature of freecycle - who would cross town for several opened packets of breakfast cereal......or (empty) cardboard boxes.......or ancient printer parts.......or (my favourite) 24 volumes of sheep breeders year books:1953-1977.
having moved from a 1.5 car.. to 3 car and tiny barn/shed ...
to a house with a 2.5 car garage.. and 30 x40 foot pole barn ...
all i can tell you.. is that your crap ... there really isnt any better word for it... accumulates and exceeds.. whatever space you have ... i think its one of old murphys laws ....
sure.. get more space.. and all you will end up with.. is more clutter.. and the same problem ...
go figure.. lol
Our three vehicles sit in the driveway because our double garage is filled with furniture etc. belonging to our adult boomerang child, and my husband's utility trailer filled with tools. To be fair the lawn mower and snow blower do fit in there as well, but to keep my sanity I had a garden shed built to house my 'toys'. For me the solution was to have something that I find attractive and that contributes interest to the back yard. (And yes, Ken, it is too small!) It has a small front porch and window boxes that sport seasonal greenery.
I have 3 areas to store garden stuff, depending on what it is. Our garage is out since that was taken over for a model railroad. We had a shed at our old house and quickly learned it should have been twice as big, so built a 12 x 16 shed where we are now. This is great, but fills up quickly with lawn tractor, snow blower, and other larger equipment, although I do store 5 gallon pails, garden ornaments/statues and other larger garden items in there.
Then I have a much smaller utility shed where I keep most tools like shovels, spade, fork, rakes, and stakes. This has worked out so well to quickly throw larger tools in at the end of the day and it's sort of "in" the garden with easy access. Our shed is on the other side of the property so my laziness would get the best of me and tools would be laying all over the yard or in a neat pile somewhere as opposed to put away.
We also recently got a potting bench that I keep on my front porch. I don't use it for potting but rather store all of my small tools in it. Pruners, loppers, zip ties, twine, small stakes, wasp spray, etc.....great easy access and the small tools never get "lost" in a smaller space so they're easy to find.
While this pic was really of a garden bench we were restoring, in the background you can see the potting bench. Guess I've never taken a pic specifically of it.
Before I got the potting bench I used to keep a 2x2 Rubbermaid bin in my hall closet. I'd throw in all my small tools, garden shoes, etc.
The thing that helped me most with garden tool organization was having storage spaces that "fit" the tools I was storing as well as proximity in the garden, to the house, etc.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Rubbermaid storage containers. I keep one outside all summer with all the small stuff I need on a daily basis. 99% of the time, that small stuff is all I really need to do what I need to do. I keep it in an inconspicuous place in my back yard, so it's never more than a few feet of where I'm at. If I'm working in the front yard, it's easy to cart over there.

really really long song....i like the fact that it becomes more complex as the time pass...many little elements are added one by one until the end when the music go slowly down......extremely relaxing....as usual nice job
Thank you, Thank you, I just wanted to come up with a song that can surpass a 15 minute mark, I tried to change it up as much as possible if you really listen to the song you can hear changes that spark the song up.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
very smooth I like it, sounds very calm.
the only problem I have with this, its too long
and when I say too long I mean its way tooo long which also
wouldnt be a bad thing if it wasnt repetitive, other than that
Its a nice piece!
Thank you very, for the critical review. The song may seem repetitive but I assure it is not. there are many synths that play together at different times, but I guess if you want to be technical the sound is very similar throughout the entire song. again thank you very much for listening.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Nautilus pad :p
Congratulation you successfully name one of the many obvious pads I used. I dare not touch the sound of the perfect pad. why change something that's perfect. And I think this come out pretty good for only using the DEMO version ;p Also thanks for just naming a pad, not giving me an actual review and not voting.

Tulip tree transplant
I transplanted a 3 foot tulip tree from PA to Arkansas about two weeks ago, Memorial Day. I know that you shouldn't transplant in the middle of the summer, but the circumstances were as they were. I was able to keep the feeder root intact and planted it as is recommended. I water it with a Treegator jr., which slowly drips about 15 gallons of water in the ground over a 5-8 hour timeframe. I have been placing the treegator about every three days. The weather has been hot and windy. Some of the leaves are turning brown and dying off. Is this from the heat and wind or from the transplant? I don't think the tree is dead yet, but I really want to baby this tree through the fall. If all of the leaves die off, will it make it? I could really use some good advice on this one! What am I doing wrong or if I'm doing OK, is there more I could be doing? I do notice some green buds coming in and some new small leaves that have sprouted since I've planted it. Thanks for all of the advice in advance!
Memorial Day is hardly the middle of Summer, but I get your point. The tree was moved after leafing out. As such, a good deal of transplant shock is inevitable. I believe that is what you are seeing. That the tree is producing new leaves is a hopeful sign. Being only a three-footer should help too. Careful attention to keeping the soil moist-not continuously soaked-is paramount. It could well pull through.
Specifically how much to water is purely a matter of local conditions - soil, sun, rain, humidity, etc. Check the soil by sticking a finger - or a pointed stick - into the soil in or next to the root ball. If it is wet - or cool - at the second knuckle depth, wait to water and test again. If it is dry - or warm - then water.
If you haven't mulched, do so. Any mulch will do, but don't put down any plastic or landscape cloth under it - if you need to kill off grass to go wide enough, then you can use Round-up, or lay down flattened cardboard or 4-6 sheets of black-ink news-paper under the mulch to stop the grass from growing throughh - the tree doesn't need the root competition. Mulch as widely as possible (at least 3', but more is better, up to 6-8'), no deeper than 4", and no mulch in the couple of inches next to the trunk.

Watch out
Published: Thursday, February 28, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 5:38 p.m.
Last fall I was in Gadsden for a dental appointment and decided to stop at Wal-Mart for a few items before heading back to Lincoln. As I was pulling back out onto U.S. Highway 431, I was nearly hit by a van with government tags. It was so startling because the van ran a red light, shooting through a turn lane. I pulled out and was able to get the tag number at the intersection before the bridge. As I pulled up next to the van I was verbally and visually assaulted by several occupants of the van. I wrote the number down and then turned toward GSCC.
I am retired military and would like to continue enjoying life so I write this letter to maybe save the life of residents of your fair city.
I spent quite a bit of time trying to track down those responsible for this carelessness. I felt as though I was at least owed an apology. I finally reached the supervisor of the driver who informed me that it was a vehicle assigned to the Job Corps. The problem then came when this woman seemed to feel as if she didn't want to confront those that were in the van so she wanted me to drop the issue.
This, people, is your tax dollars at work. I still await the apology and plan to take this issue forward until I get one. How do the readers feel? Drive safely and watch for large government Ford vans.

Can anyone recommend a good woodburning fireplace?
mikie3January 25, 2010
Can anyone recommend a good 36' interior woodburning fireplace for a new build? We are not interested in heat output as this will be a second home and we will not spend the winter there. We just want a pretty fire occasionally in the spring and fall.

I'm not sure you understand
I'm not sure you understand Catholic marriage or that we are even talking about the same things. The state can call to people married, but the state cannot unite their souls. The state simply enters into a contract with the couple whereby each of the 3 parties have legal powers to hold the other 2 to certain standards according the the nations laws and with recourse to the judicial system.
Christian marriage has nothing to do with any of these laws, courts, or the government. Catholic's get married by a Catholic priest and witness the marriage on behalf of the Church. As a matter of convenience, they also agree to serve & sign as the state's witness so the couple doesn't need to go do a 2nd ceremony in front of a judge to get the courts to agree to give civil privileges.
But if you think that state can cancel a Catholic marriage try getting a divorce from the Catholic Church, you can't. The Church won't allow it, the Church isn't capable of it. The Church is only capable of providing the graces God has endowed them with and He never gave the Church a ceremony of divorce. I remember an individual who had been baptized by the Church and wanting the baptism revoked. They actually took the Catholic Church to court. The Church explained there is no such thing as an unbaptism. In the end the Church did not remove the baptism.
Similarly, you can go get the State's part of the marriage revoked but they Catholic portion is intact and the Church will not acknowledge any future marriage as valid.
Now there is annulment. Annulment will surely be viewed by some as a "get out of jail free card" for the Church on this issue, but it essentially says the marriage never existed in the first place - so you are now free to get married in the Church because the 1st marriage was not valid.
Annulments are quite hard to obtain, I have 2 uncles that tried for years and were denied by the council (correctly in my opinion because I think their 1st marriages were licit/true marriages). According to the church they are still married to their 1st wives and commit adultery with the 2nd wives that the state has permitted.

I was looking on how I could sort a file based on the length of each sentence and I came across this snippet from this answer
perl -ne 'push @a, $_ } { print sort { length $a <=> length $b } @a' input
^ ^
I tested it and it works but I don't have a clue how this works! As far as I can see the syntax is wrong. It has an open right bracket and a non closed right bracket which I have marked.
I am really having trouble figuring out how to run perl commands like this in bash
Could some one please explain this snippet?

Agent: Bulls interest Brewer
CHICAGO -- Free-agent swingman Ronnie Brewer is interested in playing for the Chicago Bulls, according to his agent, Henry Thomas.
ESPNChicago.com Bulls blog
The latest news from Bulls reporter Nick Friedell. Blog
The interest from Brewer's camp could now be matched by the Bulls. The team had signed J.J. Redick to a lucrative offer sheet that the Orlando Magic matched Thursday night.
That leaves the door open for Brewer, who would fit nicely into the young core the Bulls have been building. New Bulls acquisition Kyle Korver said he texted Brewer about possibly joining the Bulls during his introductory news conference on Tuesday.
Brewer is expected to garner a lot of interest from the Jazz, who have indicated they won't match the $34 million offer sheet Wesley Matthews signed with the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this week as long as swingman Raja Bell, with whom they reached an agreement Thursday, passes his physical.
Brewer, 25, started off last season in Utah before being dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies near the trade deadline. He played only five games with the Grizzlies before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. He averaged nine points and three rebounds last season after averaging almost 14 points during the 2008-09 season.
Nick Friedell covers the Bulls for ESPNChicago.com and ESPN 1000.

The hotel was relatively close to everything.
My front desk experience was difficult and somewhat unfriendly. I waited for nearly ten minutes to be waited on while the woman at the front desk made calls. The air conditioning did not work at all. At one point I set the air conditioning to 50 degrees and the room temperature never dropped below 72.
Easy to find. Friendly owner. Lovely house. Very comfortable bed and room 4 has a huge adjoining bathroom.
Cozy and warm, owner was very welcoming and accommodating.
pool , jacuzzi , full breakfast in the am, easy check out --- friendly staff overall fun relaxing lodging
no receipt given for stay....to review tv channels ---- have to enter --- 3 code numbers -----
The comfortable bed and awesome pillows. Very clean hotel..nice staff.
Breakfast was ok & adequate but could use an upgrade with better choice of items.
It was fine.
I could not get hot water in the shower, only from the sink.
Proximity to downtown Concord. Amenities, eg breakfast, pool, hot tea/coffee 24 hours/day. Tip: Request a room on the backside of the hotel.
The front desk staff were both friendly and efficient; the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept on in years, and the duvet/comforter was a fluffy, warm delight to sleep under.
The sound of other rooms' doors slamming shut in the hallway was a bit loud.
Clean rooms, decent free breakfast and friendly staff ... All in all a pleasant 5 day stay.
Housekeeping missed us one day out of 5 and we needed clean towels & tissues which we didn't get ... When reported to the front desk he apologized but said they were all gone and he could get us towels.
Close to I-393 and Rte. 106
Bathtub/Shower didn't feel squeaky clean under foot!
Coffee available all day. Centrally located for our needs. Free continental breakfast and internet.
Bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Very strong chlorine small in pool area.
There was a large convention going on during our stay. Guests were smoking and hanging around. I was uncomfortable for my family and small children. Bar was not opened due to 'not enough staff' Food was terrible. Poor management.
The hotel is clean, comfortable, and lovely. The staff are amazing.
The towels are old. Some of the furniture is very worn.
seemed clean
think got bitten by bed bugs
The convenience to my business.
No elevator.
Friendly and accommodating staff with an in-house convenient store with surprisingly reasonable prices for a captive clientele.
Hotel is centrally located within walking distance to major fast food restaurants and shopping malls.
Public space somewhat limited.
Located right off the highway. Close to gas station and convenience store, along with other amenities. Used KAYAK to book my room. Check in was a breeze as was check out. Clean and orderly room.
There was nothing likeable about this place.
If your looking for a cheap, run down, moldy, hostel feel/look, this is the place for you. There is a reason there are no pictures of the place. The one picture they use to advertise is a standard franchise picture. Do not be fooled. My fiance made reservations through kayak so I went sight unseen. Oh man what a mistake. You pull up and know right off the bat it's a junk box. The pool area windows are full of mildrew and God knows what else. I walked and walls are not done you can smell the moist musty air. The room was already paid for so couldn't do much they were not willing to refund the money. So I reluctantly walk up the stairs to my room ehhhhh it's like your walking right into a scary movie dark, long hallways the only thing missing was an overdosed prostitute and maybe a guy with a chainsaw. I walk into the room and walked right out even with a snow storm in full effect I knew I had to go. Dropped my room key off and I was done I don't care that I lost money. Honestly I think that's what this place banks on. I hope they used the money I paid for the room to buy some bleach and cleaning supplies.
Great atmosphere. Owners were very welcoming and made you feel at home.
A little bit of traffic noise but nothing to keep me from going back again.
The hotel was very clean and the beds were comfortable.
I was not impressed with the breakfast
Staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Sweat tests and wild free time
I went to bed around 9 last night and woke up at 6:30, so apparently I'm still catching up on a bit of sleep. I read a book on sleep years ago (ah, the good old days when there was that kind of wild free time) by some important sleep study physician fellow that said people will sleep only as much as they need to, once they catch up on any sleep deficit. It worked out to something between 7-9 hours for most people I think. It'd be nice to be one of those 7 hour people, eh? I'm pretty sure I'm a solid 8 hour gal.
Anyway! I've got to go weigh myself and then get running. It's a sweat test day. I've got to see how much weight I lose during a one hour run to figure out exactly how much salt I should be taking in during races. One might think I should have done this a very long time ago. And one would be right. The clothes-less weighing in before and after a 60 minute run is just sooooo inconvenient. Especially since I rarely ever run for just 60 minutes at a time. Sigh.
Looking forward to seeing some of you up at Nueces next weekend! Please say hi.
PS. A friend just forwarded this to me:
10 thoughts on "Sweat tests and wild free time"
That info on 100k is screaming on every website today. Totally a payday. A threat to NF? You're better at a longer haul…Mm, thought for food.
I am so-o an 8hr girl who is escited to get full 7 when (and if) that happens! I want my 7! And I just got off coffee too! If you find a lifeless body today, please call Larry. Because he had to save me from under a bench press this morning already! At least I am catching up numbers…what reminds me, at Nueces when you're done, I can bench-press you so my training doesn't stall. Oh, and on weighing in front? Don't forget to towel after to remove precious 2 gramms for the science!
Only reason I had to save you from under the bench press this morning when you were yelling my name was due to the fact you had JUST finished 3 sets of 10 @ 85lbs decline bench press, Silly!
I told Eliot about his duties to get the Olga-Liza bench press shot.
My first ultra trail run was the G.E.E.R. 50K in Charlottsville. A beautiful course with lots of rocks to keep you alert. Hope you decide to run it.
My dad said he and my mom would come if I did, so I'm putting it on my list. They haven't been able to come to a race yet.
Ok, I'm so sorry I'll miss you [all] at Nueces; I'm traveling for two weeks for work. It won't be as much fun! Separate note: had ridiculous forefoot/arch pain during and after Austin on Sunday (maybe it's a sign to stay off the roads??); I stopped at the first exit on the way home for a gas station with an ice box. Went to Airrosti today because you said such great things about it and because my little business trip is going to be VERY physically demanding. (I couldn't be limping around – they would send me home! Not ok for this trip.) That was a brutal treatment, but I have plans to return as soon as I'm back from this trip. Yikes.
I'm drinking water now.
See you in March!
I hope it works well for you Amy. I will mis seeing you at Nueces. Looking forward to a run in March.
If you think back to when Asa was teeny and sleep wasn't much, what was your threshold for training. My LO is 5 months and I have a hard time going over 50mpw, but am only sleeping 2 hour stretches adding up to 4-6 hours a night tops. Just wondering how this year's training is going to have to be modified based on such major sleep deficit. Thanks!!
I was a wreck during Asa's first year. Honestly I couldn't tell you what my weekly mileage was. I doubt it was 50 mpw. I was also in nursing school at the time, so that put a wrench in things. I'd like to think I could manage to train more if Baby #2 comes along, but that sleep torture is — is torture. And I think I'd prioritize 8 hours of rest over the mileage. I didn't start really training consistently again until after Asa's first year — though I'm sure there are tons of "put together" women who manage it. That first year I went running to keep my sanity — not really to train for anything. I'm thinking of you!

Can anyone stop Oakland? Heading into the season's unofficial second half, the A's are the clear favorite for a title. But this is baseball and nothing is guaranteed.
MINNEAPOLIS -- He had so many enjoyable moments over the two days but Jose Abreu said his All-Star moment arrived early Tuesday evening.
Can anyone stop Oakland? Baseball's best offense now adds Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to a rotation that already has an All-Star in Scott Kazmir and a budding ace in Sonny Gray.
We're at the end of June, which means we're nearing the point where some big names may be traded and affect pennant races.

Facebook's acquisition of Instagram could be something of a turning point, as even Facebook tries to get a better grasp on a market that requires a rethinking of old rules.
The messaging and photo-sharing app Snapchat has reportedly declined an offer from Facebook to purchase the company for about $3 billion in cash, according to the Wall Street Journal. Unnamed sources familiar with the matter told the Journal that the company's co-founder and CEO Evan Spiegel is optimistic that the app's growing number of users and message volume would warrant an even higher valuation at a future point in time. Though a company spokesperson refused to comment, the sources said he would probably not consider acquisition offers until early 2014.
Instagram, the photo-sharing service owned by Facebook, could be worth a whopping $35 billion, according to a new estimate by a Wall Street analyst.
Citi's Mark May issued a new valuation estimate for the popular app, far above the bank's prior $19 billion valuation, a loftier view on the asset that May attributed to Instagram's announcement last week that it had reached more than 300 million total users.
It should come as no surprise that internet giant Facebook Inc. (FB) has acquired WhatsApp, a messaging start-up, soon after the company's attempted acquisition of Snapchat failed late last year. Facebook has been trying to enter the mushrooming chat-app market, due to the increased penetration of smartphones, and no messaging service could have been a better option than WhatsApp.
Social Insider is delivered first thing every morning exclusively to BI Intelligence subscribers.
Nick Bilton's column about the Instagram fairness hearing is annoying on a number of levels. When I mentioned one of them this morning, Dave Winer asked for "a brief post" explaining a bit more. OK then!
With the year ending, it's time to rank things from 2014. So, here we go. My rankings:
In its biggest acquisition yet, tech giant Facebook has snapped up popular messaging app WhatsApp for $19 billion in cash and stock. The acquisition finally makes Facebook a giant player in the world of mobile messaging, a sector that has risen quickly and diverted some users' attention away from the world's largest social network. "Our goal for FB over the next few years is to deliver a set of new mobile products that allow people to share any type of content with any set of people they want," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a conference call with investors.

Ravens beat Browns, go 8-0 at home
Eight games, eight wins. The Baltimore Ravens achieved perfection at home for the first time, and now they're looking to add to that ledger in the playoffs.
LET'S DO THISCan Alex Smith do the unthinkable and lead the Niners to the Super Bowl? Championship round preview.
Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes, and the Ravens beat the bumbling Cleveland Browns 20-14 on Saturday to move one step closer to winning the AFC North.
Ray Rice ran for 87 yards and caught a TD pass for the Ravens (11-4), who led 17-0 at halftime and held on.
''I have never been perfect at home in 16 years of football. That's amazing,'' Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis said. ''As good of teams we've had here, we've always found (a way) to lose one or two here or there. I think this year we really made a focus on taking care at home. This is the result, us being able to go 8-0 and being able to be sitting where you want to sit at the end of the day.''
The Ravens would win the AFC North by defeating Cincinnati on the road next week. That would also give Baltimore a first-round bye and a home playoff game - two if New England loses next Sunday at home against Buffalo.
''It's big, man,'' linebacker Terrell Suggs said. ''We are at our best when we are at (home) and our fans are rocking. So we definitely need a home playoff game, by any means necessary.''
Flacco went 11 for 24 with touchdown passes to Rice and tight end Ed Dickson. He also had a 33-yard run.
Josh Cribbs had a career-high 84-yard punt return for a TD for Cleveland (4-11). But the Browns generated very little offense and were guilty of questionable play calling, bad clock management and untimely penalties in their fifth straight loss.
REX-RATEDRyan and Giants' star running back exchange choice words after the Jets' loss.
Cleveland saved the worst for last. Having already burned their three timeouts, the Browns lined up on defense after the two-minute warning with the Ravens facing a fourth-and-2 at the Cleveland 37.
It appeared obvious that Flacco and the Ravens were merely hoping to draw the Browns offside.
As the play clock moved close to zero, Cleveland tackle Phil Taylor jumped across the line of scrimmage to give Baltimore a first down.
''It was the first hard count and we stayed onside,'' Taylor said. ''The second time, I just jumped. Of course you feel bad, but you just got to move on.''
Said Flacco: ''I don't know if I've ever been in position for that to happen. It's never worked.''
The Ravens then ran out the clock on their eighth straight win over the Browns, including two this month.
''We knew this would be quite a challenge for us,'' Cleveland quarterback Seneca Wallace said. ''We're playing the Ravens at home, and they're playing for everything. I should have played better, and I should have made better decisions.''
STARGAZINGEverybody loves the NFL, even celebrities. See A-list actors and recording artists on the sidelines.
Wallace went 19 for 33 for 147 yards in place of Colt McCoy, who was out with a concussion. Peyton Hillis ran for 112 yards, but Cleveland's offense mounted only one decent drive.
The Browns took the opening kickoff and moved from their own 26 to the Baltimore 30 behind the power of Hillis, who gained 30 yards on six carries. But on a third-and-1, Cleveland inexplicably went to the air, and Lardarius Webb intercepted Wallace's pass for Mohamed Massaquoi.
Flacco immediately threw deep for Torrey Smith, who drew a 60-yard penalty for pass interference on Mike Adams to set up a 5-yard touchdown pass to Dickson.
Later, a 29-yard throw from Flacco to Smith led to a 48-yard field goal by newcomer Shayne Graham, signed in the middle of the week to take over for the injured Billy Cundiff.
After another Cleveland punt, Flacco directed an 82-yard drive that gave Baltimore a 17-0 lead. Rice slipped behind linebacker D'Qwell Jackson on the right sideline, caught a soft pass in stride and sprinted into the end zone to complete a 42-yard scoring play.
That made Flacco 5 for 5 for 94 yards and two touchdowns on third down.
Cleveland moved deep into Baltimore territory late in the first half, thanks in part to a 30-yard pass interference call against Chris Carr. But with the clock inside 10 seconds and the Browns without a timeout left, Wallace handed off to Hillis instead of spiking the ball, and Hillis went nowhere.
Wallace took the blame, and so did Browns coach Pat Shurmur.
''I need to communicate it better, OK?'' Shurmur said.
Time expired before Cleveland could get off another play, and the Browns headed to the locker room after being held scoreless in the first half for the second time this season. The other time it happened was also against Baltimore.
Graham kicked a 43-yard field goal in the third quarter to make it 20-0.
The Browns finally scored when Cribbs took a punt on the right sideline, escaped an arm tackle and broke toward the center of the field before outrunning three defenders into the left corner of the end zone late in the third quarter.
''I was wondering where all the defenders were,'' Cribbs said. ''I saw all the great blocking around me. From there, it was easy. It was just a walk in.''
Cribbs also contributed to Cleveland's next touchdown, catching a 23-yard pass from Wallace as part of an 80-yard drive that ended with a 9-yard TD throw to Evan Moore midway through the fourth quarter.
The Browns forced a punt, but on a fourth-and-4 from the Cleveland 45 with 4:03 left, a pass to Hillis did not produce the necessary yardage.
Taylor's jump across the line of scrimmage soon followed.
NOTES: Ravens KR David Reed hurt his left knee and declared himself out for the season. Also, Baltimore OT Marshal Yanda (chest) and CB Cary Williams (concussion) did not play in the second half. ... Shurmur said the Browns sustained no serious injuries. Cleveland closes the season next Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Management Advice: Key Strategies to Becoming a Master Mentor
by Charles Volkert, Esq.
If you've been asked to take a junior associate (or two) under your wing, you may feel honored — and perhaps a little unsure. Besides giving advice, what else should you be doing? Won't mentoring take up a lot of time? And what would you get out of it?
When done right, mentoring relationships are beneficial to both parties. Young attorneys get real-life experience, management advice and a much-needed guide as they navigate the tricky waters of their career. A close relationship with an experienced lawyer can help them better understand the inner workings of the firm, court system and legal profession. In turn, good mentors learn from their pupils, as they'll be exposed to new approaches to legal proceedings and technology. They'll also hone their leadership skills.
Still, to make mentoring a positive and worthwhile experience, you have to invest in the relationship. Here are six steps to becoming a master mentor:
1. Set goals and purposes
A prerequisite to giving good advice is knowing your mentees' professional aspirations. At your first meeting, talk about career goals: Where do they see themselves in three, five and 10 years? How would they like to further specialize in the firm, or do they see themselves more as generalists? What strengths would they like to further develop, and which weaknesses need shoring up? What role will you play in their professional development?
You might also want to come to that first meeting with your own list of skills and knowledge you want to help them acquire: the tricks of the trade you've picked up after years in the legal profession and lessons learned the hard way.
After discussing these two lists, establish ground rules, including how often to meet, what aspects are within the scope of the relationship, and whether the mentoring should be close- or open-ended. When you set expectations from the beginning, you tell mentees you're serious about the relationship and their professional future.
2. Help identify opportunities
You're aware of options for honing your legal skills, but junior attorneys may need your guidance to take advantage of them. Help mentees develop and grow by exposing them to various professional activities, such as in-house or local pro bono work and your state bar association's committees. In addition, you can encourage them to take on leadership roles within the firm and in civic organizations.
3. Check in regularly
Your monthly or quarterly mentoring meetings shouldn't be the only times you communicate. Make an effort to reach out more often; junior associates may be shy about bothering you with questions or coming to you with a problem, and a quick note from you may be just what they need to open up. Don't forget that mentoring can and should occur outside the office walls. For example, you can invite them out for coffee or lunch, go for a walk and attend seminars together.
4. Promote networking
A young lawyer's circle of contacts plays a large role in his or her future success, so make sure your mentees meet people both inside and outside the firm. Make introductions during all-company parties and professional conferences, and invite them to industry events. The more legal minds they meet, the more support they'll have as they move up the ladder.
5. Advise them on work-life balance
You know how hard it can be to achieve work-life balance in the legal profession, especially for those just starting out. Give mentees advice on how to manage their time and caseloads so they don't get overwhelmed and burn out. For example, perhaps they're getting swept up in the minutiae of a specific case, or they're not taking advantage of the services of legal support staff. Your time management advice can help them refocus their energies and increase their efficiency.
6. Maintain their confidence — and an open mind
At some point, your mentees may confide in you about dissatisfaction with colleagues or plans for a career move. Don't violate their trust, and let them know you expect the same on their end. When you listen, stay open-minded. Although a mentor's role is to guide, you also want to encourage them to make independent decisions.
More law firms are seeing the many benefits of in-house mentorships and are heeding management advice to start formal programs. When you make the effort to become a master mentor, the rewards are stronger junior associates, a solid future for your firm's leadership and the personal satisfaction that you're making a difference in a young professional's life.

There are a lot of office politics at the law firm where I work. My coworkers love to build alliances, strategize to get ahead and talk about who said what — and I don't! I need some career advice on how to manage the situation or, if necessary, how to play the game.
When it comes to government politics — the presidential primaries, how your representatives voted and so forth — you can tune out if you want. But office politics are a different matter, and maneuvering and jockeying for positions happens in every occupation and at every level. Even if you don't like it, you need to know how to handle it in order to survive in your firm and get ahead in your legal career. The trick is to do it well. Here are three tips on how to play politics like a pro.
In the legal profession, it's not practical to keep your head down and steer completely clear of office politics. You don't want to develop a reputation as someone who's aloof and anti-social. The best career advice for someone who dislikes office drama is to know the rules and learn how to play the game well — but not play it often.
