Schmidt, Quarriers strike fast on Belle Fourche
The Belle Fourche Broncs were their own worst enemy at times on Monday night, but the rest of the time Riley Schmidt filled that role.The Dell Rapids junior ran for 233 yards on just 11 carries, scoring three touchdowns in a 42-6 Quarriers victory over Belle Fourche in the quarterfinals of the Class 11A playoffs.Dell Rapids (8-2), which will now face No. 1 undefeated Madison for the opportunity to advance to the DakotaDome for the fifth time in six years, wasted very little time in taking control against Belle Fourche (5-5).The Broncs, who traveled more than 400 miles to play this game, trailed 13-0 after just two minutes and three seconds had elapsed."We knew we had to come out ready to play for this one," said Schmidt, who has run for a total of 377 yards in the Quarriers' two playoff games. "They didn't want to drive six hours for nothing. They were going to come out hard and we knew we had to match that."The Quarriers did more than match it. Schmidt took the game's second play from scrimmage 75 yards for a touchdown to give Dell Rapids a 7-0 lead in the game's opening minute.The Quarriers then recovered the ensuing kickoff and Jacob Huewe scored from 3 yards out three plays later. With 9:57 to play in the first quarter, Dell Rapids led 13-0.The Broncs showed occasional signs of life thereafter, but it was all buried under a pile of turnovers.Belle Fourche had seven in all, with six coming on interceptions. Broncs quarterback Breck Young, a sophomore getting his second start, had plenty of success against the Quarrier defense, completing 14 of 26 for 249 yards, but when he missed his mark, it often went into the hands of a Dell Rapids defender."We felt like if we forced them to throw the ball, we'd be all right," Dell Rapids coach Steve Hansen said. "The second half our defensive backs started to find the ball a little bit. I felt like that quarterback did a great job the first half, but the second half our secondary did a nice job." The Broncs had to throw because they trailed 28-6 at half.They were down by that many because of Schmidt, who added a 50-yard TD run late in the second quarter opened by an offensive line that created lanes around the ends for Quarrier ballcarriers."We found a couple plays that were working and we kept executing them," said Andy Scherff, a senior offensive lineman who figured prominently in Dell Rapids' big plays. "Riley follows the blocks. He trusts us, we trust him."The Quarriers, who also got first-half touchdowns from Jase Nelson, gave up the Broncs' lone touchdown on a 70-yard pass from Young to Nathan Lange with 2:28 to play in the half. Belle Fourche continued to move the ball in the second half but also continued to give it up."We were going to have to make them snap the ball again and again and again – we had to make them earn it," Belle Fourche coach Adam Nowowiejski said. "But the big problem was that we made way too many mistakes. Way too many interceptions and fumbles. We couldn't run the ball and that came from us missing blocks.A team like Dell Rapids is seasoned – they're used to being in this situation. You can't have mistakes like we had."Tanner Solberg found Schmidt from 28 yards out to make it 35-6 and Kahler Berven went in from 16 for another score for the Quarriers, who will likely find the yards tougher to come by on Saturday against the Bulldogs.Madison defeated Dell Rapids 39-12 in September and have been destroying all in their path since then."We played them the first game of the year and our kids are excited about playing them again," Hansen said. "Maybe we can give them a little better game. We'll see what happens."

The war against Voldemort is not going well: even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of The Daily Prophet looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses.
And yet...
As in all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate--and lose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasley twins expand their business. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince.
So it's the home front that takes center stage in the multilayered sixth installment of the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry will search for the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort--and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability.
J. K. Rowling is the author of six celebrated novels in the Harry Potter sequence.

The People on the Other Side of the Screen
It's not just because the book is out, though. I'm happy about that, of course. But the real excitement in October has been meeting the People on the Other Side of the Screen.
That's how I think of you, the folks who read what I write. Usually I'm here and you're there, and you can see me but for the most part I can't see you. Some of you leave comments, so I know you're around, but I've never actually heard you laugh–until now.
Way Down South
I was still buzzed from YarnCon a week later, when I headed down to Yarn Expressions in Huntsville, Alabama for the final 1,000 Knitters Project shooting day.
At the shop I discovered that as usual, a Certain Someone had preceded me. Indeed, she had established her party headquarters on the premises, apparently with owner Meg's full knowledge and permission.
Helen (Knitter 0982), Vice President of Propaganda, was responsible for the striking campaign posters, in which Dolores looks uncannily like Josef Stalin. Helen presented me with a rather striking piece of winter knitwear, which you can see in her blog post about the weekend. I intend to get a lot of wear out of it, especially if I have the chance to travel to Minnesota.
This being the South, every sort of hospitality had been arranged. We had appropriately spooky, Octoberish spider web cupcakes prepared by Alexandra, whose mother Jill (aka Knitter 0988) is part of the Yarn Expressions crew.
The 45 spaces had all been claimed in advance–and what a collection of beautiful, warm people filled them. They came from Alabama, they came from elsewhere in the south (including a wagonload from Muscle Shoals). They even came, in the form of two adventurous sisters, all the way from New Mexico.
The scarf isn't finished yet. A few more knitters and a few more rows are still to come, but all the spaces have been allotted. Knitter 1000 should bind off in November, and then I'll finally have the courage to measure this thing. I haven't done that yet. All I can tell you is that after Huntsville, it takes up about a quarter of my big suitcase.
In between Hunstville and the New York Sheep and Wool Festival I packed and shipped orders for the Guys with Yarn calendar. It is presently out of stock but new copies will be available in the Etsy shop later today or tomorrow morning.
Over Yonder
Then it was time to go to Rhinebeck for the New York Sheep and Wool Festival to officially launch It Itches, and to see old friends–including QueerJoe, who spearheaded the incredible act of generosity that made my first trip to Rhinebeck possible.
Since childhood, I had dreamed of this day. In my dreams I was taller, thinner and hadn't just stepped in sheep droppings. Aside from that, however, reality surpassed imagination.
I had the good fortune to travel to the festival with my dear friend Carol, her friend and co-author (on the fantastic Knit So Fine) Laura, and the handsome Jim, a knitter who should have a calendar of his own next year called Jim with Yarn.
Carol's detailed account of the weekend may be found on her blog. I don't remember any of what she wrote about, but then I was preoccupied with trying not to do or say anything too stupid with so many people watching.
Carol and my sister, Susan, took pictures of the signing, and I'm glad they did because when we got to the fairgrounds I realized I'd brought my camera, but left my batteries and memory cards at the hotel.
First in line was a family group: Ravelry folks DonnaHaddad, her daughter-in-law ErickaJo, and her son MackDaddyHaddad. (Imagine, a family that can go to Rhinebeck together without having to drag anybody by the scruff of the neck.)
And look–I finally got to meet the lovely Knitnat, who founded the Dolores Devotees group in Ravelry.
Susan took a few pictures of me in the midst of the hubbub. I'm pleased with the way the Turn-a-Square hat looks paired with the Edo Scarf.
Upon request, I was happy to provide specific inscriptions.
The line got so long at one point that I'm pretty sure people must have been expecting somebody else at the end of it.
And guess who else was there?
My Exceptional Niece Abigail® arrived in grand estate, mother and grandmother in tow, to wish me well and meet the sheep. From the looks of this picture, the pleasure was mutual.
If she loves sheep...can yarn be far behind?
*Noon to 2 pm, with a reading at 1 p.m. Contact the shop if you'd like to reserve a copy.
PS. Note to reader SB, who gave me a beautiful card and gift–I would like to thank you properly, but it turns out I don't have any contact information for you. Please drop me an email, won't you? franklin at franklinhabit daht cahm.

Once again I am going to say it was a pleasure meeting you. You may not be the Yarn Harlot but guess what? You are just as wonderful and special and I am still glowing with the excitement four days later.
- Abby Franquemont said...
It's my understanding that it is very, very hard to be named Abigail, and *not* have kind of a thing for the yarny pursuits. Seriously.
I just saw Meg from Yarn Expressions yesterday and she told me just exactly how much trouble Dolores was, er, I mean, how very nice it was having you at her shop. ;-)
Thanks for the Rhinebeck writeup -- it looks like it was a great year there and I'm sad to have missed it. Your editor (who is indeed not a total bitch) almost had me convinced to go after all, but I just couldn't pull it off.
I hope to catch you and force you to sign some totally random books (I was thinking of picking up whatever's on the shelves at a random youth hostel) sometime soon. Big congratulations on your official launch! - 4:21 PM

Franklin --
I was lucky enough to make it to the booth on time and get a copy and your autograph. You were utterly charming. I was the lady in the bright many-shades-of-pink Surprise Jacket.

- Laura Sue said...
Ah, Franklin, I do so regret not getting to knit on the 1000 knitters scarf. Congrats on your official book launch. May there be many more. BTW, speaking as one on the other side of the screen, yours is one of the few blogs for which "lol" is actually true, as opposed to, "Oh, dear, come read this! I find him to be so je ne sais quoi and a bit amusant."
- Bowen said...
Having met your wonderful self in person I can honestly say that I doubt anyone was disappointed to find you at the end of the line!
- Little Knittin' Kitten said...
I thought I should let you know that instead of a link to your etsy shop, you put in a link to what appears to be a blog about music written in Portuguese that happens to also be called Panopticon. Was this a mistake, or are you trying to curry favour with the Portuguese-speaking, music-loving crowd by sneaking in subliminal links to their sites? :)
Missed Rhinebeck once again, otherwise I definitely would have stood in line for you. - 4:49 PM
- Jemima Jones Beck said...
Ummm...Franklin? When I click on the link that you have provided to your etsy shop I am taken, not to etsy, but to "Panopticon a Place for Intelligent Music", a blog that currently has a post about "Boris" up, in Spanish.
I am that silly person who doesn't get the joke or...?

- Rooie said...
Well, alas, my copy isn't signed but I got your book in the mail on Saturday and it is a hoot and a half. I took it up with me to my LYS that afternoon and it was passed round the table with great snorts and guffaws. Wonderful stuff. Though I was hoping for more about Harry....the book was seriously lacking in Harry.
And the Immortality essay actually had me tearing up a little. - 5:24 PM
- DataGoddess said...
I'm still bummed the book wasn't out in time for YarnCon, because I was hoping to get it autographed there. I did get it this week, and have been getting strange looks from my husband when I fall over laughing. I've shown him some of the cartoons, but he doesn't always get them, for some reason. Weirdo.
I am glad I got a chance to meet you at YarnCon - I was the fat lady in the "a daily dose of fiber" Ravelry t-shirt. - 5:37 PM
- Lisa said...
So I heard this in line while waiting to get my copy signed: (in a wicked downstate/NYC accent) "what's this" "looks like a book signing" "don't know the book and never heard of the author". Philistines.... The deep south was only genteel hospitality? Was it a comfortable place to be?
- anne marie in philly said...
GO FRANKLIN GO! (shakes her pom poms in rhythm)
you have arrived, darlin'!
can't wait to get my copy!
smooches! - 5:47 PM
- Geek Knitter said...
I really think you should come out to Oregon for the Black Sheep Festival next year... just sayin'.
Congratulations on the launch! - 6:01 PM
- Teresa said...
Looks like you had a fabulous time at Rhinebeck.
I picked up my copy of "It Itches" at B&N yesterday on the way home from work. It's totally wonderful Franklin! It's going to be the gift I give to my knitting group friends for the holidays this year. - 6:08 PM
- Stacie said...
Your Exceptional Niece Abigail has the best smile.
- Kerry said...
You certainly have arrived. It happened yesterday. In my mailbox. :-)
Loved the book! I couldn't put it down. Not even for Dr. Phil. I kept laughing and reading aloud from the book. My husband thought a new Yarn Harlot book had arrived.
Keep up the great work Franklin! You rock! - 6:11 PM
- --Deb said...
It was great to finally meet you on Saturday, Franklin!
And, if you haven't seen it, I've got my review of "It Itches" up at Knitting Scholar. - 6:12 PM
- Karen said...
Franklin, it was a pleasure to meet you at Rhinebeck. I was the person in line just as you were receiving that very "hot" hot mitt. It was drool worthy. Anyway, upon getting home, I read your book, or parts of it and have been laughing out loud with every turn of the page - thank you for that!!!!
- Linda said...
Afraid I got a little tongue-tied there in Rhinebeck and didn't say hello properly. But thank you for sitting there in the cold, cheerfully no less, and signing book after book after book. I think I must have been there at the very end of your ordeal as there was no line... just me. Now if only I'd remembered I had my camera over my shoulder... doh!
- Judi said...
Oh that Abigail, what a lovely smile - and the sheep smiling back just makes the picture.
- quinn said...
You and Abby look like you're having just about equal amounts of good fun!
Well done, Franklin :) - 6:57 PM
- Marsha said...
As one who lurks, but never leaves a comment (feeling like I am never clever enough) it was a pleasure to meet you at Rhinebeck, and may I congratulate you on your lovely handwriting, especially after sooo many signatures. My knitting pals and I howled late into the night over the book. Delores tried to break into our room to see what was so funny, but we would not let her in.
- Carol said...
I had such a wonderful time. My favorite part was watching you have such a successful, wonderful event. It was perfect. You are perfect.
- Jenny said...
Franklin - I think you are wonderful and deserving of every bit of fame and (hopefully) fortune this brings to you. God bless!
- myboringblog said...
I'm still a bit bummed that I didn't get to see you for the signing. The fleece sale lines (to get in and then to pay) took up the entire time you were scheduled to sign plus some extra. :-( At least I got to meet you in Cambridge though! Glad you had an excellent time over the weekend.
- Abigail said...
always nice to see when onesnamesakes turns out so cute ;)
and I must say I agree fully with Abby Franquemont about the name/fiber thing.
-abigail - 7:35 PM
- Marcela said...
It was a pleasure to meet you and I love the book!
- Bobbi said...
I'm SO looking forward to seeing you this weekend! My copy of It Itches arrived from Interweave Press yesterday and I have yet to open it in order for you to see how IP deals with their customers (the ones who pay retail just like they promised to when the book was a newly signed contract). See you soon!
And by the way...neice Abigail looks FABULOUS! - 7:49 PM
- crazyknittinglady said...
Hooray for the Rhinebeck signing! I was so pleased to see you in person again and get a book signed. And to get the book. It saved me in Newark airport on Monday afternoon, that and Stephanie's book. My mother is now reading my copy and she has already pointed out one image that needs to be copied for a minister friend of ours (guess which). Thank you for the wonderful cartoons.
- Misstea said...
I've typed and erased several times, because everything I say is so lame!
Anyway, what I was going to say in a humourous, moving comment, was that...
Oh cr@p, that's not working either. Let's try again:
Go, Franklin!
That will have to do. But it's still lame. - 8:25 PM
- sprboston said...
And how could I have let myself miss the signing? I'm kicking myself. I could have met Abigail and Susan. I'm glad you had a great time and not surprised you were such a success. I think if I say it enough, it might sink in, People Love You!
- Fujiyamamama said...
Damn the ballet! That's where I'll be instead of Arcadia, I'm so bummed. Congratulations Franklin!
- Christy D. said...
I'm so jealous of all the folks who got to go to Rhinebeck! Looks like you all had a great time, and I'm so thrilled for you that you had long lines of folks who wanted you to sign their books!
- Bevin said...
Franklin, your handwriting is spectacular. And also, you are most definitely an inspiration!! Congratulations on making your dream come true! What's next? A movie?
- Kristen said...
Yay for Abigail! Somebody put some knitting needles in that child's hands--quick!
- Benita said...
Your book arrived here in my office the day before yesterday, and I wish you could have heard the laughing. Even non-knitters were hooting and giggling.
I think my favorite cartoon is the Acrylic vs Natural Fibers. Good lord, man, you captured my knitting group in that one!
Would it be pressuring you too much to ask when the sequel is coming out? - 7:31 AM
- ~S said...
It was great to meet you in HSV and I'm glad to see the photo you posted of me looks awesome. Look forward to knitting with you sometime next year when I hear you might make a repeat appearance at Yarn X*. :)
*Yes knitting can be an extreme sport and yes many of us gov type workers here tend to rename places with acronyms and shorten store names. But everyone here knows what we are talking about. LOL. - 10:06 AM
- Alwen said...
Don't forget you are coming back to Michigan in January! You'll probably need that striking piece of knitwear then.
- LittleWit said...
Your adventures look so fun! :) I also love that hat.
- wfuteach said...
I'm a relatively new reader, but wanted to let you know that I would wait in line for an autograph even knowing it was you at the end! ;) You're a knitting icon now, Franklin...get used to it! :)
- TO in SP said...
If a Certain Someone's campaign is running on a shoestring, she can pick up some designer clothes cheap. Another female in the race got $150k worth of clothes for her visit here in St Paul and is selling them cheap. There's nothing hotter than a sheep in red heels.
- Javajem said...
Congrats on such a lovely turnout!
I was happy to meet you briefly before your signing. Alas - I didn't get a book signed - but I hope to in the future! Great meeting you! - 1:58 PM
- Sue said...
I can't believe the 1000 Knitters is almost complete. I live right here in Chicagoland and was never able to make it. So disappointed! If you find yourself short a knitter, please contact me.

You deserve all these lovely things which wouldn't have happened but for being the funniest man on the planet.

I got your book last night (yea Amazon!) and after a very long, hard day at 9 p.m. I managed to sit in a chair, quietly, with a cup of hot tea and open the book. I laughed until tears ran down my face. True gut check laughing. I cannot thank you enough for the laughs that your drawings gave me. Boy howdy did I need them.
God Bless you Franklin. May the riches pour down on you for the joy that you are giving people with your talent!
P.S. Maybe your next book (hint-hint) can be about Delores and Harry's campaign tour? A behind the scenes? Just make sure Delores keeps her wool on unlike that Madonna retrospective. Tacky-tacky-tacky. - 10:01 AM

Hi Franklin.
As one of those "People on the Other Side of the Screen" ... which does sound rather alarmingly like the title of a derivative, low-budget horror flick, don't you think? ... I'm finally delurking[cue ominous screechy music and pregnant pause] simply to say that it makes me very happy that you are one of the people on the other side of MY screen.
I am, as always, awe-struck by the beauty you bring out in each your subjects -- and though you must be good and ready to put the 1,000 Knitters Project to bed, I'll be sad not to see those new photos pop up every now and again.
So glad you had a spectacular time at Rhinebeck. I'm already looking forward to your next adventure!
P.S. If Dolores doesn't, in some strange twist of fate, become President this time round, perhaps she (and her entourage, naturally) would consider emigrating to the Great White North. We're sure to be having another election soon - and Canada's completely cool with dual citizenship, eh? - 5:38 PM
- yarnaholic said...
Bravo Franklin! I just received my copy of "It Itches" and you will be pleased to know that my non-knitter husband spent quite a while guffawing at the contents. Your work deserves to be in the New Yorker!
- SallyT said...
Franklin, I just bought your little book at my LYS. It was sitting seductively at the check out and had survived the perils of Hurricane Ike. The store suffered damage but made it back and I considered it an honor to increase their bottom line and to say thank you to you for all the laughs by adding it to my bag regardless of the fact that I'd just bought 2 pairs of addis.
PS My favorite story about not getting what you expected at the end of a line is as follows: my husband came back from a bathroom break at a Sugar Bowl game and said, "I stood in line 20 minutes to pee in a trach can!" - 6:55 PM
- HatboxRose said...
Rhinebeck was wonderful, but having you sign my copy of "It Itches" was the best part of the day for me.
I love the cartoons/essays and there is a bit of James Thurber about you.
Congratulations on your first book, with wishes for many more to come. - 9:22 PM
- DianeS said...
You and your book are absolutely charming. I was laughing out loud while reading it in line.
- Sarah said...
I enjoyed meeting you in Huntsville. I was very nervous, and you helped put me at ease. I hope you enjoyed your time here as much as we loved having you here. Please come back again, soon! I did not even stalk you, and I live just a few miles fro the hotel where you stayed. Maybe next time!
- deniasha said...
I can't say how much your wonderful, insightful book has meant to me ever since it arrived Wednesday. It's been, along with my loving family, a much needed ray of sunshine as I'm pulling myself through a very difficult time in my life.
Thank you for sharing so many of your wonderful gifts and talents with us. It is so rare to see someone give so generously of them. - 1:22 AM
- Steph said...
It looks like Rhinebeck was a great time for everyone! I'm glad Dolores had some fun with it, too.
- Kayten said...
Morgaine at Carolina Homespun was good enough to have you autograph a copy of the book for me, as we couldn't get out of our booth to meet you ourselves. I have been laughing all week, and even got my husband to read it last night. I love the cartoons, but particularly enjoyed the diary excerpts and Knittin' with a Whip.
You are brilliant! And charming...with a touch of the "slightly off center." - 12:51 PM

just finished the book!!!!! especially loved the essay on masochism. i'm just getting to that stage. hold my hand. i'm frightened!

Too bad you won't be at the Kid 'n Ewe festival in Boerne, Texas on November 7, 8, and 9. Maybe next year? :)
- Judith said...
Franklin, I was able to purchase "It Itches" at my LYS. My husband (named Edward, by the way, so I especially loved the one about not opening the door on the yarn stash closet) has banned the book from the bedroom because I laugh so hysterically when I read the cartoons and essays that the bed shakes and he can't sleep. I'll be purchasing several more copies to give as gifts to beloved knitters.
- jennifer said...
I have to apologize. At some point while gazing upon wonderous yarn, books, needles, fleece...or something I stepped back and bumped into someone hard. Without looking back I apologized and went back towards the display. Minutes later I stepped away and turned around. At that point my jaw dropped and I'm afraid I may have drooled. I desperately wanted to wait in line to get your signature but was too darned embarrassed. I love your writing--and your blog.

Hi Franklin,
I just got your book through the mail. It is - there are no proper words - gorgeous, funny. It makes me laugh and smile a lot. What a wonderful gift to the world of knitters. Thanks a bunch (or should that have been a ball or a skein or..... LOL)

Franklin; I just got my 2 copies of the book. It is excellent. I laughed out loud so many times--how did you think these up! I especially liked the cartoon on p. 101. What a wonderful first book! I will carry it with me in hopes of seeing you around Chicago. Thank you so much for this humorous angle. . . you can buy lots of food 'er yarn.

I received my copy of your book from Interweave Knits today. It's hysterical! I keep making my son and husband read parts of it (even though they tend to mock my stash and knitting except when they need hats, scarves, etc.) And they totally relate to so many of the cartoons. I really love the tote bag I received with my book. This will be put to good use!

I received "It Itches" today in the mail-I opened the package and sat and read it cover to cover in the front seat of my van in front of my house. Thanks for all your hard work-I smiled at every page. You have a wonderful talent, thanks for sharing it with us.

the chances are we will never meet, since I am here in the middle of Cheshire, England and you are there, so to speak. But I needed to tell you that I went to my local LYS yesterday (In Mrs Gaskell's Knutsford) for their Tuesday lunctime Knit Group. Now I seldom get to there (I'm a teacher) so usually just go to Thursday evenings. As a result, I suspect the Tuesday lunchtime group is a little more genteel. I'm afraid to say I picked up the copy of It Itches that was on the table and promptly disturbed the entire ambience by snorting at virtually every cartoon I saw. It is a delight! Thank you so much! Your book is an absolutely joy and I hope you can hear me laughing all the way across the pond.

new book arrived, with perfect timing.. my back has decided to freak out- so the giggles and essays are cheering me up during my heating pad exile.
PS- you're generally funny- but when I'm stoned on pain pills? You're hilarious. :P
congrats on a terrific first book. - 1:27 PM

Note to self: DO NOT read "It Itches" in public unless you're around other knitters. The Muggles don't get it. They look at you somewhat strangely when you're laughing at cartoons with sheep and yarn. Well what do they know anyway! Franklin, the book is WONDERFUL and I'm enjoying every page! THANK YOU!!!

My copy of the little book arrived today along with a very amusing tote bag from Interweave. What a hoot! Wish I could have been in Rhinebeck to get your autograph. I can't wait to share this with my friends. It was a lovely interlude before I had to go to my evening class that had absolutely nothing to do with knitting.
Thanks for the laughs and great writing. - 12:04 AM

I have found your book on amazon - quite by chance - and ordered it yesterday. I am more than halfway through now and I like it very much! Especially the essays are hilarious (though the mention of love translated into 180000 stitches made my eyes water just a little ;-)) and I have forced myself to stop now, so I have some of the book left for later.
Great work!

Thank you for a story that made people laugh. - 9:27 AM

I love your book! I showed one of the cartoons to my husband. He was not amused, because I did come home with two llamas last year! (We already had the sheep.) Fortunately we have a farm.

Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh
Gayane Aghajanyan breastfeeds her newborn son, Rafael, at Stepanakert Maternity Hospital. Gayane will receive a first baby payment of approximately €190 as part of the government's 'birth-encouragement program'.
Nagorno-Karabakh marked 20 years of self-declared independence in September 2011, yet remains unrecognized by the international community. One of the steps the government is taking in an attempt to achieve respect for the country's independence, is to encourage an increase in the birth rate, so that the population reaches levels of before the war for secession from Azerbaijan. A 'birth-encouragement program' gives cash payments to couples for each child they have. For a young woman to become a wife and a mother, to stay at home and care for her family, is the most honorable and respectable life she can choose for herself.

Volquez to face Phils while on upward trend
Winning three of past four starts, Bucs starter to face rookie Buchanan
Edinson Volquez enters his start against the Phillies on Saturday on a nice groove.
The Pirates right-hander threw six scoreless innings while dancing around eight hits against the Mets in his latest outing, a 5-2 Pittsburgh win on June 29.
In three of Volquez's past four starts, he has allowed one or no runs. He shut out the Cubs over seven frames on June 12, then tossed an eight-inning, one-run gem June 23 against the Rays.
But a horrendous outing in which he surrendered eight runs in 2 1/3 innings to the Reds on June 18 was sandwiched between those two starts.
"Sometimes, you have to take a step back to move forward," Volquez said after his previous tart. "That day [against the Reds], I had a bad game. But I responded pretty good [against the Rays], and today I pitched a really good game."
Volquez's ERA has deflated to 4.07 -- lower than his season total in every year since 2008. The often-erratic Volquez has curtailed his walks to 2.9 per nine innings -- compared with a career average of 4.6 -- in his 17 appearances (16 starts) this season.
Although Volquez pitched in the National League in each of the past two years, one must look back to 2012 for his most recent matchup against the Phillies.
He faced Philadelphia twice that season, allowing four runs in 12 innings.
Opposing Volquez on Saturday will be David Buchanan, who made his MLB debut on May 24 in place of injured starter Cliff Lee. But with Lee nearing a return -- he makes his first rehab start Sunday -- Buchanan's opportunities to prove that he still deserves a spot in the rotation are becoming scarce.
In Buchanan's eight starts since Lee went on the DL, he has fared reasonably well given the circumstances.
He brings a 4-4 record and a 4.86 ERA into Saturday afternoon's matchup with the Pirates. Buchanan has allowed three runs or fewer in four straight starts, but three of those starts lasted only five innings.
The rookie's most recent outing came Sunday, when the Braves roughed him up in the Phillies' 3-2 loss. All three runs were scored under Buchanan's watch, and Atlanta boarded 10 baserunners during his five innings.
Buchanan took the loss after three wins in his previous three outings. He has never faced the Pirates.
Pirates: Frieri struggling with new team
Despite donning a new uniform in the past week, reliever Ernesto Frieri has not experienced dramatically different results.
The Pirates and the Angels completed a trade of exiled closers on June 27, Frieri for former Pirates closer Jason Grilli.
In Frieri's first three appearances with his new team, he has allowed eight hits and five runs in 2 1/3 innings.
His most recent, and volatile, blowup came on Thursday against the D-backs, who tagged him for five runs in just one-third of an inning.
Frieri's ERA sits at 7.29 after the 10-2 loss.
"He seemed to find the middle more often than not [Thursday]," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "The secondary pitch didn't play at all, which makes it tough, also. But there wasn't anything but angst about wanting to do better and getting better."
Phillies: Brown returns
Domonic Brown appeared in Philadelphia's 8-2 loss Friday in a pinch-hit capacity.
Brown had been away from the team since Tuesday, when the outfielder went on paternity leave for the birth of his daughter.
He grounded out to first base for the final out of the game, against Pirates reliever Jeanmar Gomez.
Brown is hitting .224 with five home runs and a .277 on-base percentage this season.
Worth noting
• As a team, the Phillies are hitting .212/.293/.273 against Volquez with 20 strikeouts in 66 at-bats.
• Andrew McCutchen finished 4-for-5 with two doubles, a triple and two RBIs in his team's win Friday night.

Newborns don't yet have a sense of day and night. They sleep around the clock, and because their tiny stomachs don't hold hold enough breast milk or formula to keep them satisfied for long, they wake often to eat — no matter what time of day or night it is.
A newborn may sleep up to 18 hours a day, waking every couple of hours to feed. Breastfed babies feed often, about 8 to 12 times a day. Bottle-fed babies tend to feed less often, about every 3 to 4 hours or so.
Because the need for food is stronger than the need for sleep at this age, babies who sleep for longer stretches should be awakened to feed. Wake your baby every 3 to 4 hours to eat until he or she shows good weight gain, which usually happens within the first couple of weeks. After that, it's OK to let your baby sleep for longer periods of time.
Babies have different phases of sleep, just like everyone else. There's drowsiness, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and very deep sleep.
The first months of a baby's life can be the hardest for parents, who might get up many times at night to tend to the baby. Each baby has a different sleep pattern. Many babies start to sleep "through the night" (for 5-6 hours at a time) by 2 months of age, but not every baby does.
During the first weeks of a baby's life, some parent choose to room-share. Room-sharing is when you place your baby's crib, portable crib, or bassinet in your own bedroom instead of in a separate nursery. This allows your baby to be close enough to hear, smell, and sense you. This can help with baby's feeding and sleep habits, and also helps new parents catch a bit more much-needed sleep. But room-sharing may not be for everyone; each family needs to decide what works best for them.
While room-sharing is safe, putting your infant to sleep in bed with you is not. Although many cultures endorse bed-sharing, there is a risk that the baby can suffocate or strangle, and studies have shown that there's a higher incidence of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in households where the baby slept in the parents' bed.
Follow these safety precautions with your little one:
Establishing a bedtime routine (bathing, reading, singing) will help your baby relax and sleep well. Even though your newborn may be too young to get the signals yet, setting up the bedtime drill now can keep you on track later. And putting your baby in the crib at night teaches your little one that it's the place for sleep.
If your newborn is fussy it's OK to rock, cuddle, and sing as your baby settles down. For the first months of your baby's life, "spoiling" is definitely not a problem. (In fact, newborns who are held or carried during the day tend to have less colic and fussiness.)
It may take a few weeks for your baby's brain to tell the difference between night and day. Unfortunately, there are no tricks to speed this up, but it helps to keep things quiet and calm during middle-of-the-night feedings and diaper changes. Try to keep the lights low and resist the urge to play or talk with your baby. This will reinforce the message that nighttime is for sleeping.
Also, don't try to keep your baby up during the day in the hopes that he or she will sleep better at night. Overly tired infants often have more trouble sleeping at night than those who've had enough sleep during the day.
While most parents can expect their newborn to sleep or catnap most of the day, the range of what is normal is quite wide. If you have questions about how much (or how little) your baby is sleeping, or your baby seems overly cranky and cannot be easily soothed, talk with your doctor.
If it's hard to wake your baby up from sleep and he or she is not interested in feeding in general, call your doctor immediately for reassurance or further medical advice.

Do not like the digital animation at all
We had our look at the opening sequence from Beware the Batman. Now Warner Bothers and DC Comics have posted a clip. Check out this clip from "Hunted".
Episode Synopsis: Batman stops two vigilantes from taking their revenge over a shady land deal, while an aging Alfred hires his replacement: a female bodyguard named Katana. In this DCComics.com exclusive clip, Batman and Alfred investigate a key clue in the Batcave.
Beware the Batman airs Saturdays only on Cartoon Network.
It will have to be about story for me... the animation is not impressing...
Unlike the new TMNT cartoon I don't see me getting past the animation. And with TMNT I love the animation now.
I thought the same about the Spectacular Spider-Man and Green Lantern but I liked both of those, and I am not really a GL fan.
I will give it a chance and get past the animation.
I'll give this a chance, but if the Free Comic Book Day sample was a genuine representation of how Beware the Batman will be portrayed, this this is not going to be my cup o tea...
Just watched the whole episode. meh. The idea of Aflred being some kind of aging tough-ass former MI6 dude is ....different. Stupid, but different. Exactly WHEN was he the Waynes' butler and promised to raise and protect Bruce while he was being an MI6 agent? At the end they introduce the asian girl (diversity, always diversity) in the Black Widow suit as Bats' new partner. Interesting that this is the first animated Bats in all black, but I hate the character design.

Nu'uuli VocTech hosts forum for 2012 candidates
Teams running for the position of Governor and Lt. Governor were present yesterday at the candidates forum held at the Gov. H. Rex Lee Auditorium, hosted by the students of Nu'uuli VocTech High School Senior Class and National Technical Honor Society.
The forum included a session with candidates running in the 2012 election for Congressional Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, which took place after the gubernatorial session.
Gubernatorial teams included: Le'i and Afoa, Sandra and Save, Lolo and Lemanu, and Savusa and Salu. Missing from the line-up was the gubernatorial team of Faoa and Taufete'e, who wrote in reply to Nu'uuli VocTech's invitation that Faoa is currently off-island and the team was therefore unable to participate. They were not present either at the Fagaitua High School forum held earlier in the month.
Those running for the Congressional Delegate seat on hand yesterday were: Rosie Fuala'au Tago Lancaster, incumbent Faleomavaega Eni Hunkin, and Aumua Amata. Candidate Lancaster declared her candidacy after the forum, yesterday.
Seizing a golden opportunity to register voters young and old, the Election Office staff set up a table and camera with their official computers at the Lee Auditorium yesterday, where eligible residents were able to register to vote before and after the forum.
Format for the forum was each candidate/ team got a chance to answer students' questions during the nearly 5- hour forum. Samoa News will publish details of the forum in Wednesday's paper.

The Lifestyle Income Fund seeks current income with some capital appreciation. The fund will pursue this goal through a "fund of funds" approach, whereby it will make investments in Institutional Class shares of other TIAA-CREF Funds. The fund is designed for investors seeking current income with some capital appreciation through a relatively stable asset allocation strategy targeting an income-oriented and conservative risk/return profile. It will generally seek to meet its objective by investing: (1) approximately 20% of its assets in underlying equity funds and (2) approximately 80% in underlying fixed-income funds. The fund may deviate from these target allocations by up to 10% depending upon current market conditions and outlook. As a result of its investments in various underlying funds, the Lifestyle Income Fund's returns will reflect investments across a mix of domestic and foreign equities of all capitalization sizes and a variety of domestic and foreign fixed-income instruments across maturities and credit qualities.

For each fund/account with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's/account's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Where applicable, Morningstar's performance rankings are based on linked performance that considers the differences in expense ratios, while actual performance data shown does not reflect such differences.
The top 10 percent of funds/accounts in a category receive five stars, the next 22.5 percent receive four stars, and the next 35 percent receive three stars, the next 22.5 percent receive two stars and the bottom 10 percent receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund/account within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Morningstar proprietary ratings on U.S.-domiciled funds/accounts reflect historical risk-adjusted performance, are subject to change every month. They are derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Please note, Morningstar now rates group variable annuities within the open-end mutual fund universe.

Balsa wood baits have long been known for their lively, natural action in the water and their extreme buoyancy. Other woods and plastic materials have since come on the scene, but many pro's still turn to them and keep old proven ones around for year because of their innate fish catching ability. Bagley has been making some of the best balsa wood baits for over 50 years, and Bagley baits have probably more wins in big tournaments that almost any other crankbait made - including four Bassmaster Classics.
The Bagley Kill'r B Crankbaits feature a tapered body for a more rapid, vibrating action, and are available in both a square bill and diving model. The square bill model Kill'r B is perfect of fishing aggressively in shallow, heavy cover and timber, while the Diving Kill'r B features a rounded, weighted deep-diving bill that makes it perfect for targeting deeper water. Many top pro's still turn to balsa wood crankbaits because they produce a lively action that simply can't be duplicated with other woods or plastic materials, and the Bagley Kill'r B Crankbaits have all the attributes you need plus the versatility to target both shallow and deep water bass.
Bagley | Length | Weight | Depth | Class |
Kill'r B | 2-1/4" | 3/8oz | 0-5ft | Floating |
Diving Kill'r B | 2-1/4" | 7/16oz | 0-8ft | Floating |

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: I bought these when I was a kid 30 years ago. They killed then, and they still do now. Ditto, Roger - clever paint jobs are overrated. The action and lack of all that unnatural clattering are the things, to me, that distinguish this bait. Anyway, the sexy shad pulled down numbers tonight, with a couple 4#'s in there for fun. Great baits.
From: Eric: SC
Comments: great crankbait,color are nice,black spot on the side with red gill,can't go wrong with that. ;-)
From: Slim: QC
Comments: If your not catching fish, it's not due to the spot on the side of your lure. These crank baits are great and always have been. If you didn't notice. KVD won the classic in New Orleans on a crank bait that was chartreuse with a black back. You may be paying for fancy paint jobs when you don't need to.
From: Roger: Lafayette Louisiana

Quantum Discs
$21.00The Quantum employs an innovative mechanical attachment system wherein slider and gripper "disks" are snapped into strategically positioned receptacles in the sole. The Quantum concept has opened curlers to an array of options in terms of slider materials. Teflon, while still a high performance option, is no longer the exclusive material. Materials that provide cost advantage and distinct performance characteristics are now in play. Quantum slider discs are available in four options, offering a range of speed from stable to very fast. To establish a commonly understood standard in terms of speed, we set a traditional 1/4" Telfon slider as a 9 and rated the various Quantum disc options relative to this standard. The Speed 10 Quantum Slider Discs are faster than 1/4" Teflon. Learn More -

25 comments:
great post! i am with joanna, i had tons of cavities when i was a kid. but i learned my lesson and have zero cavities as an adult. :)
as far as failing as a mother... do you have 3 hours to listen to my list??? ;) first on that list: i'm letting my son watch a probably way too scary scooby doo while i read blogs. xOut of 5 siblings, only the youngest had a mouth riddled with cavities. Mybe it is genetic because the other four have had zero. Granted, my dad did check our teeth before bed. I've heard cavities have something to do with the mouth chemistry. Some have more bacteria or something. It's a daily struggle trying to brush my 17 month old's teeth. I feel like I am torturing him. I've found that an electric toothbrush is best because he get the control while I guide him along. I feel bad when I skip a brush. So hard to remember everything in the morning when you work full time.
ReplyDeleteAs a child my younger brother NEVER brushed his teeth and never seemed to have cavities. I always brushed mine but still seemed to get them! I think it just depends on the kid. We have teeth brushing time at night with my two year old but I can't say it is really doing much good. It results in a lot of tooth brush waving but probably not that much actual cleaning.
ReplyDeleteI almost never brush my kids' teeth. If my husband doesn't do it, it pretty much doesn't happen. I barely brush my own teeth (and DEFINITELY not twice a day, for heaven's sake!). As a kid, I think I went years w/o brushing my teeth and had very few cavities. So I guess success has really ruined me.
ReplyDeleteHere in Norway parents brush their kids teeth twice a day, and all children are called in to dentists once every year. The dentists are really giving parents a hard time if the children has a bad teethsituation.... In Norway kids have free dentist (and doctor) until they are 12 years old.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry! I had 9...NINE cavities in my baby teeth. As a nerdy little kid it motivated me to be diligent about my oral hygiene (I dreamed about the day my dentist would finally say to me, "You have no cavities") and since getting me grown up teeth I have none. We get two chances for a reason!
ReplyDelete- Misty BeesleySeptember 28, 2011 at 9:09 PM
Brushing teeth is overrated. I learned this after having Claire. I thought my friends with kids were crazy when they said having a baby made even brushing your teeth difficult. I'm pretty sure I brushed my teeth twice that first month.
But hey I think it's genetics with the boys. Sounds like they are taking after their Uncle Deebs. He's got a mouth full of metal! The last time I took the boys to the dentist I had J and she was only 2 months old. The dentist seriously looked at her and said I should bring her in for a check up before she turned ONE! Seriously? What, are they gonna strap her down and give her a cleaning?? Good luck with that! hahaaa
ReplyDelete- AnonymousSeptember 29, 2011 at 8:39 AM
My kids do it themself, I will put the toothpaste on and then they do the work ;)
So if you do not brush your kids teeth, do they not have a bad breath?
Btw, my daugther (9yr) does not have any cavity but my son (7 yr) always have one in his one year checkup.....
Gyda. - jessicaMarch 30, 2012 at 6:24 PM
hi sharon. i'm jessica, one of your readers, and also a dentist. i thought maybe i could share a couple of tips with you, and your readers on looking after the little ones teeth. i think it's great that your boys are already visiting the dentist!! but hopefully, in the future, they will only need to go for the 6 monthly checkup and cleans and no more fillings :)
ideally, you could bring your infant with you to the dentist once they get their first teeth (usually between 6-9 months of age), even just for a quick 10 second look. that way, we get a quick look at the gums and teeth development, and also your child will progressively become used to having foreign objects/a stranger look into the mouth. the main objective is just to condition them to the environment. one of the most terrifying things for a young child is to attend the a clinical-looking dentist surgery for the very first time in their lives in pain (this is why i hear so many horror stories from patients with childhood dental memories..)
up until about 2 yrs old, it can also be really tricky to brush their teeth (for them, and for you!). the alternative is to use a damp warm flannel washcloth, and gently wipe over their teeth. at this age, you shouldn't need to use toothpaste. past the 2 yrs old mark, they generally tend to have developed the fine motor skills to handle a toothbrush with a smear of toothpaste, so give them a go... but it's best if you follow it up as well, up until school-age usually. the kind of toothbrush doesn't really matter, so long as it's being used in a thorough manner.
finally, if the day is really crazy and there's no time to brush or check their brushing twice, the night-time brush is more important than the morning-brush. without brushing at night, the food particles from daytime meals stick onto the surfaces of the teeth and the mouth tends to dry out, hence less saliva to neutralise cavity-causing acids.
its so important to look after childrens oral hygiene. it sets up their habits for life, really! studies show that kids who have cavities in baby teeth, tend to have more cavities in their adult teeth too. in addition, if the cavity is deep or the tooth is infected and the tooth is removed sooner than it is ready, it interferes with the spacing in their mouth - often leading to crooked adult teeth, and necessary orthodontic (braces) work in the future. also, dental infections, pain and accidents are the 3rd most common cause of emergency childrens hospital admissions!! please please please don't think this is one of the things you can neglect, just 'because baby teeth fall out anyway'
i hope this long,boring and rambly comment was somewhat informative,.... there's a million things that a mother 'should' know and 'should' be doing.. and there's only so many hours in a day. but there you go, another little info nutshell for you :) - Amy ColemanMarch 30, 2012 at 6:24 PM
Wow, this is disappointing. I hate to be the critical one, but I can't help it on this one. What happened to teaching your children good oral hygiene habits early on? I was honestly shocked at all of these comments. As parents we are all concerned about our childs health and well being and I can't believe one of the most basic personal hygiene needs is being treated as an oversight... To each there own though. But man, think about how your kid feels, constantly having gritty teeth, bad taste in their mouth, being the kid with stinky breath at school...

The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianI was inspired to create this raw banana cream pie recipe for Christmas this year. It is soo smooth, so "banana creamy" and just absolutely perfect. (Can you tell I am on a freezer pie kick??)
It's actually pretty fast to make - just a quick food process and an easy blend. Even a crappy blender should be able to handle this raw recipe.
Using perfectly ripe bananas will give you that divine banana cream pie taste. (You want to use perfectly ripe bananas - not too green and not too brown.)
If you don't do honey you can do agave nectar or maple syrup instead of the honey. Use the same measurements.
Enjoy this raw banana cream pie recipe! Isn't it pretty?

Thanks so much for this recipe and for all the recipes on your site. :) Tried this one tonight and so far, I'm loving it! (well, I loved it before it went into the freezer, so I'm sure it will be amazing once it comes out) Just a side note for anybody out there who doesn't have fresh bananas, I ended up using 2 frozen bananas and the recipe still came out great! Had to "encourage" it a little more in my blender with a spatula (I used a Blendtec), but otherwise, it worked out well. I will have to make it again soon with fresh bananas (woe is me) to see if there's a big taste difference, but I loved the creamy banana filling that came out of my blender :)
Hi ! I used this banana cream for a raw chocolate banane cake and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the recipe !

Hi Laura-Jane, My pie is in the freezer now.. awaiting tomorrows clothes exchange party! What is it that you have sprinkled on top? Cinnamon perhaps? Also, How long before serving do I need to take it out? Cheers
I made this for a party the other night and it was a hit! Thank you so much for all these fantastic recipes!!
Dar's Review
Raw banana cream pie recipe
Love this recipe as much as all the others I have tried...sweet and savory...your site keeps me eating raw with so much variety ! Thanks !
I'd like to use maple syrup instead of honey for the filling. Is that okay? Or coconut syrup. I don't use agave anymore and honey is SO expensive, because I only buy raw and unfiltered. Plus, I'm imagining that maple syrup would be delicious.

Roger's Review
Raw banana cream pie recipe
Just made this and it's heavenly best raw pie ever! I have a question the crust is stuck to the glass pie plate when I cut a slice and try to remove a slice. Did I perhaps pack it down too tight onto the pie plate?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for sharing,
Roger's Review
Raw banana cream pie recipe
Ok thanks for the update! But what I tried for my second pie after it froze in the freezer I put it into the refrigerator to thaw and it actually tastes better and it's more creamy & the crust is softer and easy to remove a slice. I also mixed some smooth peanut butter with the filling and it's really good with the P-Nut butter.
Debra Wintels's Review
Raw banana cream pie recipe
Absolutely scrumptious.
Roger's Review
Raw banana cream pie recipe
Yes my wife really likes adding the smooth P-Nut butter to the mix. It's heavenly!
Jane's Review
Raw banana cream pie recipe
This is a great way to use up bananas so different I like it - will it be OK in the freezer for more than a week? There is only 1 of me...and I can't eat the whole thing in a week!!

www.delamar.de 10/2014Title: beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 32 ohms test reportAuthor: Felix BaarßTranslated from the original German article[...]
With the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 32 Ohm, the manufacturer has made a subtle adjustment to the popular studio headphone - this time it's a pair of headphones, which can be, in fact, loud enough to be operated on mobile phones, tablets, laptops & Co. With this project the 32-ohm version was sent on a mission which it fulfilled perfectly.
As before, this monitoring system scores mainly with a neutral frequency response, however, with the deep bass and the slightly shy low mids the curve appreciably kicks out, but that's ok for me and is a welcome variety. The attention to detail is very good the highs are present without being shrill. For a headphone with a closed design, the 32-ohm version scores with a good, reasonably "open" spatial sound; on the virtual stage, which extends far, all of the individual sounds can be heard well and separated from each other. The pulse fidelity is exemplary in this price range, short stops come with small drawbacks so fast and brisk, that the sound remains very "disciplined" and never tends to unduly soften the sound.
Even the workmanship of this beyerdynamic model deserves a good score. The construction is still robust and it is even difficult with brute force to harm this headphone. Finally, the high comfort of wearing is to be commended with which even long sessions are completely pleasant.
Pro:Powerful yet controlled bass Very detailed highs without being shrill Very good room image for a closed headphone
