Sex position very much like Cowgirl except the female must always be facing due north, and the male is laying parallel with the sides of the bed. It is possible to be doing the Stormy Kromer and (Reverse) Cowgirl at the same time.

Serene yet striking, Jennifer Aniston's meticulously renovated midcentury estate blends commanding modern architecture with calming, Zen-like elements. Step inside the actress' urban sanctuary.
Former Friends star and rom-com queen Jennifer Aniston had her eye on this Beverly Hills residence for seven months before scooping it up for $13.5 million in 2006. Designed by renowned midcentury modern architect Hal Levitt in 1970, the home had fallen into a state of disrepair, but Jennifer enlisted architect and interior designer Stephen Shadley to restore and expand it. The remodeled home, which was featured in Architectural Digest in March 2010, was listed by Jen for a staggering $42 million in early 2011. According to the Los Angeles Times, the home sold for around $37 million in June of the same year.

Londonderry High School Drama Club getting ready to cut loose
Teacher Valerie Psoinos, who serves as staff adviser for the school drama club, said some things are timeless.
"It's a story about teenagers and growing up," Psoinos said. "Which is something all of them can relate to."
Auditions for the school musical took place in November and more than 85 students vied for roles, according to Psoinos. Rehearsals were in full gear immediately following Thanksgiving and as of last week, student Katie Aramento was already strutting her stuff in the trademark red cowboy boots favored by one of the film's protagonists, Ariel, while Brandon Feliciano, who will play the role of her love interest, Ren, was working to perfect his roller-skating technique.
The play follows the story of Ren, the character originally played by a young Kevin Bacon, as he moves from the city to a small Southern town and falls in love with the local minister's daughter, Ariel (played by Lori Singer in the original film).
A rebellious teenager who dreams of one day leaving her hometown for bigger and better things, Ariel joins Ren in taking action against the town-wide dance ban - hopefully in time for prom season.
Psoinos said most of her teenage crew members are pretty familiar with the movie's 2011 remake.
"They've definitely done their research," she said.
Performances of "Footloose" are scheduled for Feb. 14, 15 and 16 at Adams Memorial Opera House in Derry. Show times are at 7 p.m. on Feb. 14 and 15, and at 2 and 7 p.m. on Feb. 16.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, senior citizens and staff members. To reserve seats, call Londonderry High School at 432-6941.

Motherhood Mondays: Toby's lovey
...he didn't gravitate toward stuffed animals. We had them around the house, but he ignored them all equally. I'd notice other babies dragging around faded blankets or teddy bears, but Toby seemed happy enough flying solo (or holding one of his toy cars).
Still, I remembered how much my siblings and I adored our loveys, and we wanted to help Toby to have something to cuddle at night, to bond with for years, to help him feel extra secure and cozy. So, on our beloved babysitter's recommendation, we ordered him a pillow pet. Have you ever seen them? Honestly, they're hideous. But she swore he would love it. (Wouldn't this adorable bunny work just as well? I wondered. No, she said.)
So, the pillow pet it was. When it first arrived, Toby seemed indifferent. We just placed it in his crib and he fell asleep, no biggie. But the second night, he casually tossed an arm around it. And by third day, he buried his head in it, wrapped his arms around it, and lay squarely on top of it as he drifted off. Now they are best friends, totally in love; I secretly imagine that Pillow Pet waits all day with bated breath for Toby to come to bed so he can see his "Boy" again, just like the Velveteen Rabbit:)
"That night, and for many nights after, the Velveteen Rabbit slept in the Boy's bed. At first he found it rather uncomfortable, for the Boy hugged him very tight, and sometimes he rolled over on him, and sometimes he pushed him so far under the pillow that the Rabbit could scarcely breathe....But very soon he grew to like it, for the Boy used to talk to him, and made nice tunnels for him under the bedclothes that he said were like the burrows the real rabbits lived in. And they had splendid games together, in whispers, when Nana had gone away to her supper and left the night-light burning on the mantelpiece. And when the Boy dropped off to sleep, the Rabbit would snuggle down close under his little warm chin and dream, with the Boy's hands clasped close round him all night long...
...Weeks passed, and the little Rabbit grew very old and shabby, but the Boy loved him just as much. He loved him so hard that he loved all his whiskers off, and the pink lining to his ears turned grey, and his brown spots faded. He even began to lose his shape, and he scarcely looked like a rabbit any more, except to the Boy. To him he was always beautiful, and that was all that the little Rabbit cared about. He didn't mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn't matter."
To Toby, this guy is one of the great beauties of all time.
Do your little ones have a lovey? Did your child naturally gravitate toward one, or did you encourage it? Funny how Toby just kind of learned to love it. I'd love to hear your experiences...

OMG that picture of Toby is too too cute! My older son (5 years old) took to his bunny pretty early on. It's a stuff animal version of the bunny from Goodnight Moon. He LOVES bunny, talks to bunny, would take bunny everywhere with him if we didn't stop him. I can't imagine how or when he will give him up. Bunny definitely helps naptime and bedtime move more smoothly.
My younger son has a rotating assortment of friends but has a Taggies blankie that has been constant. Not as attached as his older brother. We've tried to encourage a lovely with him but he doesn't seem to be as particular. Each kid is different, rigth? - 12:15 PM

Isn't it funny what kids attach themselves too? I still have and love my Cabbage Patch kid!

Very cute. My daughter has a couple of loveys too. They are sweet with them.

- whitney said...
we totally encouraged it for the same reasons that you gave. i wanted them to have someone special that could make them feel secure through the night (especially because we didn't do binkies). i would just put these little blankie animals next to them when they slept. and eventually, they couldn't sleep without them.
now, we have duplicates for each just in case. any suggestions on how to get them to give it up? or does it just happen naturally? - 12:17 PM
- Jessica said...
I had a stuffed "Little Foot" dinosaur from the movie "The Land Before Time." I loved him so much and slept with him every night. My brother would do cruel things like have Little Foot be hanging from his neck over the dining room table when I came home from school!
- Erin LaDue said...
I have the same feeling about the pillow pets. So unappealing but my son was given the lady bug and he loves it. You have a very wise babysitter.
- Notes from Holly St. said...
I had a pillow that I was attached to as a child. I tried to introduce a few stuffed animals to my one-year-old but she doesn't really care for them either. She received a pillow pet for Christmas. Maybe I'll give that a go.
p.s. that excerpt from the Velveteen Rabbit gave me chills. I forgot how magical that story is. - 12:21 PM
- jen fuller said...
our baby boy has a stuffed turtle that we encouraged (like big time encouraged) attachment towards. He had a very hard time sleeping more than an hour, so after holding this turtle anytime we'd nurse, he finally associated it with comfort and security, and now he sleeps with his arm around it and longer than an hour!
- Christian said...
Oh, what a precious pic of sweet Toby!
I never give parenting advice, but... you might want to rush out and *BUY TWO MORE OF THESE!*
When my oldest son lost his beloved Jellycat Dino at age 2.5, he couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and cried all day long for three days until I tracked down another one. Apparently it was a limited edition stuffed animal and after calling 20+ stores, the manufacturer, and sleuthing all amazon & ebay sites, I found one. It came from a mom who saw my desperate craigslist WANTED post I put up in every neighboring city!
Needles to say, four years later, the dino lovie is now like my 3rd child :O - 12:25 PM

- Lauren {Stylized Existence} said...
This is so sweet! I had a "blankie" and I would always fold hold it in my hand and make a small point out of it and rub my thumb against the pointy part of the blanket. sounds silly, now, but it was so comforting to me as a child! I remember it fondly!
- Nikki said...
My 5 month old baby boy is attached to his jellycat Cow (similar to the bunny) you posted. He cant sleep without it. We recently just purchased a "back-up cow" so he can have one while the original is being washed :)
Its the cutest!

My lovey looked like this:
except mine was peach colored. I named her Emily, and carried her EVERYWHERE. I used to leave her in the refrigerator all the time, because I needed two hands to lift the milk. Once, I left her at a fire hall after my cousin's christening party, and my dad had to drive out in the dead of night to get her for me. I loved her until that little heart rubbed right off her nose. - 12:28 PM

Oh and I also have a Hokie Bird pillow pet!

i was totally obsessed with my pacifier. unfortunately, i had it waaaay too long and i ended up having a seriously messed up jaw from it in my early twenties. $30,000k, two sets of braces, jaw surgery, and 8 weeks of not eating solid food, i will NEVER allow my kids to have a pacifier! they should have had those pillows back in the 80s!

Soooo cute. I had never heard of pillow pets until my 5-year-old got one for his birthday. Hideous, like you said, but so soft that it's okay. My older son (the now 5-year-old) loved a stuff penguin. Not right away, and not to the point of not being able to sleep without him, but he definitely liked to get his snuggle on most nights. My little guy (2) always has to go to sleep with something in his hands, but it usually doesn't matter what. Stuffed animals, matchbox cars, flashlight, toy dinosaur...last night it was a pez dispenser! Hey, as long as he sleeps, it's all okay by me!
- Mary said...
Oh and personally speaking...I had a crocheted blanket that I slept with for YEARS - I mean, it was still on my bed in college. My mother had to recrochet it several times. LOVED that thing!
- Trina said...
My sister-in-law once bought my then-baby nephew a moose pillow-pet offhand on a trip to Vancouver. It looks like the dog in the bottom photo. He came to love it so much he hugged it everywhere and called it Moosey.
I had a pillow I lugged with me everywhere (even, evetually, to college!) until half the stuffing came out. I actually had to stop my mom from throwing it away and instead just sewed it up into a nice throw pillow. Now any nicely molding pillow, preferably down, will do. :) - 12:38 PM

Joanna - One of the very first blog posts I ever read, ever, was that one about "baby munchkin". I died laughing (several drinks help to make it even more hilarious!) and I linked it to Facebook and I made everyone in the room read it. I read all the comments and continued to laugh so hard I was really weeping! This has nothing to do with today's post, but thanks for a great memory. Now, thanks to you I'm addicted to blog reading - almost to distraction sometimes! Thanks again! :)

I love lovey stories. I still have mine, and hubs found a vintage duplicate of my own to give to our children so they can have their own and I can keep mine.
- Mommy Lauren said...
Yes! My son Colin has a lovey, its one of those small blankets for baby's, it's silky on one side and has a little bear attached to it, he can't sleep without it! My Mom is the one that thought to give it to him, she noticed when he was a newborn that he liked to hold it between his fingers, thank goodness for loveys!
- megan said...
My son never had any type of lovey as an infant. I used to say his comfort object was me. He nursed exclusively , he never would take a bottle or a pacifier. We co-slept until he was almost 2. He had always wanted to sleep directly on top of me. We even got rid of the crib when he was 9 months old since he had never once slept in it. I kind of regretted it because we longer had a place to put him even we decided to try or force the issue. Around the time he was turning 2 I could not handle the sleepless nights and the tossing and turning from my little pinwheel sleep buddy.
I ordered him a bed and we made a big deal about going and getting his special bedding.
Before my son was born we had gotten him the stuffed black and white cat from the book "If you give a cat a cupcake" by Laura Numeroff. It was the first thing we bought him. The character resembled our cat so we had to have it.
When it was time to go to sleep the first night I dug him out of the pile of animals that my son never payed any attention to. I told him it would be like Magmoe (our cat) sleeping with him. He loved it. One day we were at Target he saw a stuffed star that was attached to a pile of infant wash rags and screamed "MOMMY IT`S TWINKLE!!! TAKE HIM HOME!!!". Instantly he became lovey #2. So every night and nap time my son grabs both of them and puts them to his ears and falls fast asleep.
Its almost a year now and those loveys are definitely worn it. I love to smell them. They smell like my sleepy little guy. - 12:45 PM
- Michelle said...
My brother and his wife didn't want their son to be attached to any one blanket or stuffed animal or anything like that so they bought him two blankets that they would give him interchangeably and he never seemed to favor either one.... until he started wanting both of them around him all the time! So rather than getting him attached to one blanket, he's now attached to two. :-)
lol I have the same one except bigger for my dog lol he likes to cuddle up on it under my desk

i had a bear that i slept with every night until i was 16. his name was Pillsbeary.
confession: i (jokingly) LOVE unicorns. not in a creepy was. but it tends to be a theme for all gifts. one friend got me a mini unicorn pillow pet for my 30th b-day this year. it's on my bed, and i kinda love it. there is something about it. the mini is a perfect size, and i rest my head partly on it, partly on my actual pillow.
So, i get it Toby. I totally feel ya on this one! - 1:11 PM

We bought our daughter the Mirabelle doll from blabla when our son was born as a gift from him. At the time she was 15 months and had never had any lovey. I just brought her with us on every trip and put her in her crib and would ask "where's mirabelle?" when she wasn't around. I definitely encouraged her but after a while it took and she now goes everywhere with us. I think it has helped her transition and she now applies the same concern for Mirabelle (or, Abelle as she calls her) as she does for her brother.
My nephew had his "honey" which was one of my brother's old t-shirts.
- Anne-Mare @ Do Not Faint said...
Back when we were just dating, my now-husband brought me his teddy bear to comfort me when I was sick and he was at work. The bear is yellow and soft and a little bit shabby. His name is Radar (yes, like in M.A.S.H.). I cried happy tears, because he loved me so much to trust me with something so precious. "But you need him!" he said.
Radar will reappear when we have a child; we're trying to conceive. I don't know if I will mind if our child doesn't love Radar as much as we do, but the bear will definitely watch over the baby, even if from a distance. - 1:16 PM
- Lindsay said...
My nephew is 5 now and has been calling his blankie "Green" for a few years now. His mom bought him an extra of the same blanket in case it was ever lost and so it could get washed, but he knows the difference. He calls one "Green" and the other one "Bogus Green."
- LittleS said...
What a gorgeous baba... so sweet sleeping away. I'd bought my son 5 exact same bunnies when he was born (in case we lost one!) but he decided to fall in love with a little hippo my sister gave him. I'm hoping we never lose the hippo!

My girl turned her sleep sack into her lovely. When got it at two, outgrew it at three, but carries it around the house every day, and now she's seven. Even for a sack, it was able to earn the name "bia," pronounced [bee-aah].
I am 23 years old and have the same pillow pet has Toby. I bought it after falling asleep on my nieces unicorn pillow pet. I seriously get the best sleep with these hideously comfortable creatures!

Oh the Velveteen Rabbit! One of my very favorites. That excerpt made me tear up a little bit. :)
My first lovey was a huge bear I named (appropriately), "Bear Bear." Haha. The names of all my others got more inventive from there, but he was my first. - 1:36 PM
Our boy was the same way: no lovey -until the pillow pet entered the house. And now bedtimes are easier. He sometimes ever Tells us he wants to go to bed
- Poet Whale said...
That's adorable! Toby has his own puppy.
As a child, fashion replaced pillows and blankets. My red courdoroy pants were my comfort, when wearing them. I didn't drag them around like a blanket. I miss them to this day. - 1:48 PM

I slept with Mama Bear as a baby and all throughout my childhood years. She is a stuffed animal my mom got as a gift at the hospital when she was giving birth to me and my twin sister. In the beginning, Mama Bear had two cubs attached to her paws -- Chocolate and Vanilla, as I named them. Chocolate has since been lost, but I still have little Vanilla cub too! :)
- katie said...
Apparently I wasn't a huge stuffed animal baby, but when I was a bit older my mom bought me a flatophant exactly like this one: http://www.fao.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3811948 and I slept with it every night. It's flat on the top, like a pillow pet, so you can use it as a pillow. There's other animals too - flatofrog, flatopus - and they're all pretty cute.
My sister has slept with a pluto (from mickey mouse) stuffed animal since she was a toddler. She's 26 now. It's been patched up half a dozen times and the nose is completely flattened because she uses it as a pillow! I guess little ones like stuffed animals that double as pillows... - 2:02 PM
- Julia said...
My brother had a bear and a toy duck that went everywhere. My Mom purchased 2 or 3 of them when she realized they were going to be his top toys. There was never a chance of losing them, and the great thing now is we have the original bear and duck, and new ones for our kids too (if they are so inclined :)
- Käthe said...
I have *discouraged* the lovey, but we have lots of stuffed animals around, just like you, and she's fallen in love with ALL of them, so *that* sort of backfired! ;)
- Kate said...
My brother and I had our special animals, but never took them anywhere with us. I think I was afraid of losing my Teddy and never find him again!
One family I used to babysit for had the BEST idea ever in the world: instead of an actual blanket, they gave their youngest son one of the dad's plain white t-shirts, and he became as attached to that thing as any kid has ever been attached to a stuffed animal or security blanket. When it got dirty or misplaced throughout the day, all I had to do was get another shirt out of the drawer! It looked the same, smelled the same, and felt the same, but it was totally replaceable! It was a totally genius trick. - 2:17 PM
- Codruta said...
My baby girl isnt interested in any toy to cuddle but likes a cute doll she received for her first birthday (now she is 14 months) and a stuffed toy I made long time ago. She kisses them and plays with them but not in bed and not all day.
But I wanted to tell you about a friend's little boy, he used to cuddle with his mother shirt, made of silk and when he was sleepy you could see him searching for her t shirt or when he was insecure or upset.
Toby is walking jar of honey, totally sweet.
hugs - 2:20 PM
My 6 month old son does not have a lovey...yet. I would love to try with your babysitter's advice...what size do you think is appropriate and do you think only the puppy works? I would like more the Jolly Giraffe but as I will order it from Italy I would like to be sure it's something that works with babys...maybe they appreciate more the cream colours??!!
For my nephew I bought a flatout koala bear when I was in Australia. He absolutely loves it, and you also support a good cause when you buy one!!

My son Gavin had a bright yellow bear, with a red nose and green paws. We called the bear stinky because Gavin was always spiting up on him. He took stinky with him everywhere…but when he was about three years old his babysitter found a back up stinky. We were always making bed time runs to the sitters, grandma's house or dad's because he was accidently left behind a few hours prior. The adventures he had with his bear very much remind me of the "Knuffle Bunny" stories by Mo Willems. My son still has his stinky bear…but gave up sleeping with it only this fall right after he started middle school. He has left stinky in the care of his little sister (age 6) who takes Stinky to bed with her "special" pink blanket and much loved ladybug pillow pet. The extra stinky bear resides at my son's dad house, and while he wasn't as great as the "real" stinky…he did work in a pinch.

My son is about Toby's age and when he was little, he wouldn't have anything to do with stuffed animals. Then he seemed to gravitate to this unremarkable blue bunny we happened to have. He calls it "bun-nay." Then a few weeks ago we were at a store and he had a fit when he saw a small stuffed owl so we caved and got it for him. Now he sleeps with "Owl" and "Bun-nay" every single night. When I get him up in the morning, he's usually clutching one of them, laying completely on top of it. So sweet :)
My little dear has a stuffed Snoopy from the Hallmark store. He's so soft and Sam likes to lay right on top of him while he sleeps. He also takes him on walks around the neighborhood, which is just as cute as it sounds.
My 12 year old nephew has the same Pillow Pet as Toby! Isn't that funny? So big, but still likes something soft to snuggle. - 2:33 PM
The Velveteen Rabbit brings me to tears every time! I got a Winnie the Pooh bear when I was little, and I still love him. Even though I'm married, still lives in my room. I love him (and wore him out) too much to pass on.

I lost my lovey when I was 22, I still slept with it. It was a silk blanket that I believe once used to be white..... It got lost in the process of moving and that was that.

a beautiful post. thanks, regular visitor here.

"...he ignored them all equally.". Laughing now. :P
my 4 year old son has the same "doggie" pillow pet...he got him for his 3rd bday from a friend...first, he was "doggie pillow" and now he seems to be "pillow dog"--whichever my son chooses to call him (depending on the day)...he's been going to bed every night with the pillow--and a couple of other toys--for a while...whatever works to make him happy...it's funny that our sons have the same one... :)
- kate said...
awww...i love how he's sleeping. i slept in that position as a baby/toddler and so did my younger son. love it. sweetness overload!
p.s. my guys love their pillow pets too but they're old enough now that they wouldn't appreciate me saying so ;) - 3:08 PM
- Reagan said...
This post had me tearing up thinking about Toby and his lovey. Piperjane has a lovey. It's a pink blanky with one silky side and one minky (same fabric on a pillowpet). When she sees it, she smiles bigger than anything. We joke that "I wanna know what love is" is playing in her little head whenever they reunite. It makes me so happy to know she has something to comfort her when I can't.
- Deanna (Silly Goose Farm) said...
I still sleep with Dudley, my childhood teddy.
My kids BOTH have pillow pets (my daughter has the bee, my son has the puppy, like Toby). But they aren't as attached. My daughter has a giraffe named Guy that is THE UNIVERSE to her. He went missing last week (he was in the laundry basket, which I should have known as Edie kept saying Guy "needed a bath", and I realized that no matter how large or small your house is, they all feel like the Biltmore once a lovey goes missing at bedtime :) - 3:33 PM
- Kelly Lynn said...
Love the pic! Mine sleeps like that but I can never sneak in to get a pic! Jealous! My little boy never seemed interested in his stuffed animals or pillow pet (and I was paranoid about blankets), but at 12 months we started leaving Jellycat's Scout in there "just in case" and after a night or two he took to him. He is 16 months now and still holds him to fall asleep (and the sleep sheep has to be on).
- Sarah said...
I had a duck named Ducky that slept with me until my "child" came along. I passed Ducky along to my dog Charlie when I got him from the shelter two years ago. Ducky is a little more ragged now and all his stuffing is gone, but my dog loves his Ducky more than anything. He sleeps with him, protects him from other dogs, and even licks him clean. So, I guess our four-legged children can have lovies too :)
When I was about 5 my grandmother bought a box of used stuffed animals at a garage sale probably for a quarter. I remember fighting with my younger brother over this particular rabbit at the bottom of the box. Nothing special about her at all, but I knew we were destined to be together. I won the battle, and Bunny (clever name right?!) and I have been together for about 20 years now. I'm not gonna lie...she still sleeps under my arm most nights. It's funny how the most mundane things can mean the world to kids.

Our kids mysteriously stopped needing their loveys one day but I remember our son could not go to sleep without his burp cloth that had turned into his lovey. It's a great travel tip actually, I would travel with an extra sheet and his lovely, all imbued in the smells of home. It would make him feel instantly comfortable wherever we went.
- Jessica Cole said...
I didn't have anything. My boy, Rory (3), loves a blanket. As long as it's white or yellow, it's fine! He carries it around casually over one shoulder when he's tired or upset and snuggles into it at night. If we haven't got it/can't find it, it's not that big of a deal. We just say it's being washed and he's fine, though it is a source of great comfort to him!
I love the jellycat cuddlies. We have a blue elephant called courdy-roy! I love him so much he sits on a chair downstairs... :-) Makes up for me not having anything when I was a child. - 4:22 PM
- Emily said...
Oh, that quotation just made me so emotional! I could sob right now.
- Mina said...
I never had anything like that. But, someone got my daughter an owl (mini blanket) for my baby shower. At first, I had no idea what it was (1st time mom!), but I was told that it's to comfort her. So, it's in her crib, but she hasn't really gravitated toward it yet. She probably will in time though. She's only 2 months old! : )
- Diana @ frontyardfoodie said...
Aww that is so sweet!
My son has three stuffed animals that he's obsessed with. he didn't start liking them until he was about a year old but now they're inseparable.
I never had a blanket or stuffed animal myself as a child but I did suck my thumb....it was a bad habit. haha - 4:57 PM

This is the most adorable thing ever!
- Palaeontologist Mum with Babies said...
Cute little Toby. My daughter who is 21 months got a pillow pet ladybug for christmas but ignores it and is scared of it. She hates all stuffed toys. My son who is 4 and a half loves the pillow pet so he took it from her and adopted it and began to use it. My daughter just calls it "pillow" and really ignores it, and so finally three days ago I succumbed and bought a triceratops pillow pet for my son. He was so happy when it arrived yesterday in the mail and slept with it all night. Now i just have to get my little girl to cuddle her ladybug pillow pet.
- Myra said...
I'm a nanny for a two year old and she is obsessed with her Jellycat bunny! Currently her favorite game is dropping bunny in the floor, lamenting over the dropped bunny, then apologizes profusely to bunny, smothering it with hugs and kisses - over and over again! Adorable post Joanna.
- Meredith said...
My oldest (he's almost 5) has a crocheted blanket a friend gave him that he's slept with since day one. To this day he doesn't use a pillow because he'd rather sleep on top of that blanket. He loves it! We'll have to wait and see what my youngest (2 mo.) falls in love with. :)
- Joanna Goddard said...
gentiana, i think any pillow pet would do the trick:) we got the smaller size. the bigger 18" size is almost like a grown-up pillow, so we thought it seemed too big.
- Joanna Goddard said...
i love reading all these sweet comments!!! and "Toby is walking jar of honey, totally sweet." = that is the cutest line, i want to frame it. thank you :) :) :)
Look at those hot, red little sleeping cheeks!
- ~Lisa said...
I had a stuffed baby doll and a sweet teddy bear. Today, I was cleaning out I found my husband's beat up loved teddy in a box. I'm totally going to save all three of those put them in future baby's room. I honestly think it's funny what kids will pick to be their favorite. :)
- J. Beaudet said...
He is so adorable!
- Kat said...
I still have my blanket that my mom sewed for me before I was born! Nothing makes me feel more comfy and at home when I'm home sick from work. And Pillow Pets are a preschool phenomenon! I'd say that 20 of my 23 preschool students have a pillow pets at school for rest time. Those are some pretty stuffed cubbies! But they just can't seem to sleep without them :)
- Meagan@Meagan Tells All said...
My daughter goes through phases of loving one stuffed animal more than another, but the one that she looooves most of all is this weird eyed buggy lamb. I don't get it, but it makes me happy because my husband got it the night I got back from the hospital after a surprise miscarriage. He took her to the pharmacy to get my drugs and came home with the buggy eyed lamb. It has been her #1 since! :-)
So cute! Quick question, my 8 weeks old baby only falls asleep in our arms and throws a temper tantrum if we pt him down. Did you ever have that problem? Or any other sleep issues? How did you deal with them?
-Ags - 6:58 PM
- Joanna said...
my lucy was the same with stuffies... I would always try to get her to snuggle and she was never interested. until she was 11 months old, she got a tiny baby doll (plastic hands, feet and head/the middle was soft) it wasn't the cutest thing, but she absolutely loves it! she caresses it and kisses it and is comforted when holding it. I have now tried all the cute little bunnies and stuffies that she never liked before... and now she likes those too! maybe she just grew into it :)
- Unknown said...
His pink cheeks are so beautiful! My daughter has a stuffed kitty named "Sand Kitty". She got Sand Kitty when she was around 3, taken him on every trip since then and he's now at college with her. Although she forgets him at home when she visits and I have to mail him to her.
- the lye's said...
Jude was the same way as Toby when it came to never paying much attention to the stuffed animals. Boys just really like their cars & toys I guess. But this last Christmas, my sister in law got Jude the dino pillow pet and he hasn't slept a night without it since. He just grew to love him, now so do I, because he comforts him.
- Angela said...
He has so many favorites that I'm afraid for our cross-country trip this summer. How will he ever sleep? How will *we* sleep? (yikes)
- Flordy said...
My 2yr old boy got exactly the same pet pillow and we named it "buster". Gave it to him last Christmas. But he is more attached with his favorite blanket, "buster" just serve as his pillow though sometimes he talks to it...hehehe
- tracyevelyn said...
I nannied for twins {from 6 weeks to 15 months} and they went nowhere without them. It was so cute to see how much the babies loved those little guys :). I'm glad your little guy has that love too!
- Kiley Kate said...
I had a blankie and Moo-Cow! I actually had three Moo-Cows since I kept chewing on them, dragging them everywhere, etc. Bless my poor mother for having to go out and find identical Moo-Cows to replace my old ones.
- Jenny said...
Ok, maybe I need to try a Pillow Pet. Our third baby is 15 months old and hasn't slept through the night yet. I've tried to get him hooked on something other than the boob :-) So far no luck. Thanks for all the ideas!
- Jenny said...
P.S. Super cute photo of your boy!
- cora d said...
He's adorable!
My older daughter didn't gravitate towards a lovey, but she like sleeping with a blanket up around her face. When summer came along, I decided to get her one of those blankie pets (little stuffed animal with blanket attached) so she wouldn't swelter. She fell head over heels. She calls it her "Bear." She introduces it to people by saying, "I got Bear."
We tried getting replacement loves but none took. Her sister has inherited these replacements and likes all of them. - 10:24 PM
- Katie said...
There's a woman in Vancouver who takes children's whimsical drawings and turns them into stuffed animals (or lovies, as you call them)! I just ran across this site today...check her out. They are so sweet and make me want to be a little kid again!
- abigail said...
so cute, love his sleeping pose!
Our daughter (15 months) recently got attached to her jelly cat bunny- the one you posted actually! lol My mom got her the large bunny and one tiny one for my purse, shortly after she was born... and she luvs the big bunny now, calls him "bunnnnn" He sleeps in her crib and she carries him around the house in the morning, but thankfully we aren't at the phase where she is taking him out of the house or something... hope it doesn't come to that, but it is VERY cute how much they love something like this... it does start to make me think about her childhood memories and potential imaginary friends. (what is going on in there!?)
The next thing I have to figure out is how to wash these jellycats without to much happening to them!?

Here I am, 23 years old sitting on the couch with my childhood blankie crocheted by my grandma. It's practically disintergrating--I twirl the threads between my fingers. It crushes me to know that one day I'll be forced to give it up.
- Michelle Lee said...
so cute :)
- chandra ~ oh lovely day said...
I have a pic just like that of my son sleeping "butt up" - love it! I had/have a blankie and I tried to get my son addicted to a blankie, lovey, and stuffed animal, and nothing has stuck (nor did pacis). Maybe I should try one of these too. seriously, toby is so freaking cute.
oh thank you for the much needed giggle, your writting is such a joy to read.
My daughter has 2, they come everywhere and have been on many overseas holidays with both my husband and I guarding them more carefully than the passports and money! - 5:39 AM

my youngest brother, who will turn 19 this year, still has his beat-up snoopy puppet somewhere in his bed. i love it. it's one of those things you'd never expect but when i see it every now and then it just makes my heart happy.
- Sneaky Magpie said...
Freddie has got a duck and a dog and he loves them both, often falling asleep clutching each in one hand. But his very favorite thing of all time is this wooden rhino from baby puzzle, the print is half eaten now but he walks all day long holding it. He is 13m.
- Caitlin said...
I agree about Pillow Pets not being so cute. Maybe you could find one that was basically the same idea (a pillow with appendages) on Etsy, or (if you were so inclined) try sewing your own. Maybe for your next kid, though. Toby seems pretty attached!
- danielleMC said...
At 7 months-old, Max decided he was done with swaddling, so I decided to toss him a lovey to see if it helped him sleep. We had received a small plush duck (Bunnies By The Bay) as a gift which was perfect bc it is small (4" tall) and has no buttons or anything else that can be pulled off and swallowed. He tosses and turns all night long, but that duck is always in his hands, under his body, or laying on his chest. He even plays quietly with it when he wakes up. When he started to crawl at 9 months, we also let him have his Little Giraffe Luxe blankie in the crib. For his first birthday, I am going to give him the Luxe pillow. Lovey-mania!
- Jennifer @ Belclaire House said...
My Edward is 16 months and I'm thinking I need to get him a pillow pet. He's not super attached to anything and he keeps waking up at 5 am. I think having something in his bed that he loves will make it easier to lie back down and go to sleep when Mom and Dad don't rush in to get him. Thanks for the tip! I love these Motherhood Mondays!
P.S. How am I supposed to read Edward the Velveteen Rabbit without crying??? (I do the same with On The Day You Were Born) - 11:28 AM
Joanna, I am 26 years old and I STILL SLEEP WITH MY PILLOW PET! It is a rabbit named Flopsey. Over the years, my mom has found replacements at garage sales or dollar stores, so we have a couple just in case. LOL! I am not weirdly addicted to it or anything, but it always makes me feel better when I'm sick since I have no family here in NYC.
- Rachel Joins the Fray said...
Marc decided on his own that his lovey would be the completely interchangeable washcloths from Babies-R-Us. Perfect! We call them "schmattas." However, in the past six months, he's become attached to a red dinosaur that was mine when I was little. This is a problem because it is completely irreplaceable! Although the company is around, they don't make these dinosaurs anymore. Funnily, we saw another kid at the park dragging around the exact same dinosaur. I asked his mom where he got it, and she said, "It was my husbands - it's like 25 year old." How crazy is that? (I would never let Marc take the dinosaur out of the house!!)

- Fruitie: said...
My daughter never took to a lovey (and boy, did I try), but my son locked eyes with one in a giftshop very soon after he learned to walk, and he's been attached to it ever since. It's the Jellycat stuffed zebra and it's the cutest. If you don't know the brand, take a looksie...

We have the Bee pillow pet, my two year loves it and its great for laying on the floor watching movies!
I have 3 daughters, we swim in a sea of stuffed animals. When Wendy our youngest came she had a collection FAO would covet. Who did she pick? A bright red octopus with beady little eyes. The quirk is so her, absolutely melts me to find her snuggled up with Otto, who sometime in the night has put on a red polka dot jammies, two tentacle arms poking out, six hanging below. Awhhh pitter patter, they are sweet.
my son now five still sleeps with his brown blankie every night. the satin trim is totally shredded but he still touches it to soothe himself. he also sleeps with his menagerie of stuffies which includes pengui, nubby, bunny, texibear, and batray.
- Ali said...
they are pretty hideous. My 21 month old boy got one for Christmas and I am so surprised how much he loves it. I didn't know it would be such a hit.
- Jessica said...
This post made me tear up a little... Haha. I bought a similar jellycat bunny for my 3 month old son, Davis. I hope he likes it when he's a little older! It was so precious sitting on the shelf at the store, I imagined him dragging it around everywhere and cuddling with it at night.
Oh well, if he prefers a pillow pet I'll just sleep with the rabbit. - 3:17 AM

You mean he's not still that teeny? Haha... I have been reading for a long time... long enough that it seem odd that he isn't that teeny, but I'm not sure whether I've commented before. So, hi!
I am my son's lovey, we have co-sleep since birth (he's 3 now), and has never taken to any soft toys.
Recently he has started bringing his soft tiger to bed, but it gets thrown out of bed before he falls asleep holding my hand :-) - 10:33 AM

I still have mine! "Monkey Doodle" was given to my mom at my baby shower. There are photos of me with it from back before I could even sit on my own! I took him everywhere, including to the playground in a wagon. He'd sleep on the couch with me when I was sick. He came to college with me. He still sits on my bed (though kind of wedged between the mattress and neighboring dresser). I remember when I was younger, I'd worry what my future husband would think of me! Thankfully, he doesn't mind. :)

2012 Fantasy Football: Add/Drop
2012 Fantasy Football: Week 16 Add/Drop
A list of fantasy football players you should add, drop or ignore for Week 16. Follow @walterfootball for updates.
Don't know whom to start? Check out the Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings to see whom I'd use in my fantasy lineup.
2012 Fantasy Football Week 16: Add
Mark Ingram, RB, Saints
Mark Ingram rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. The Saints may attempt to get him going in these final couple of weeks.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks
Add Russell Wilson if he's somehow available (someone may have dropped him after Week 14). He'll be tough to play against the 49ers, but he's not a bad option because of his rushing potential.
2012 Fantasy Football Week 16: Buy Low
None with fantasy football trade deadlines expired.
2012 Fantasy Football Week 16: Ignore
Leonard Hankerson, WR, Redskins
Leonard Hankerson caught two touchdowns, but he had just two receptions.
2012 Fantasy Football Week 16: Drop
Joique Bell, RB, Lions
Joique Bell had just seven carries compared to Mikel Leshoure's 14. So much for using him more.
Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs
Dwayne Bowe was just placed on injured reserve.
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals
You're not going to use Larry Fitzgerald against the Bears or 49ers, so you can cut him if you need the roster space.
Ryan Mathews, RB, Chargers
Ryan Mathews is out for the year with a broken collarbone.
Don't know whom to start? Check out the Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings to see whom I'd use in my fantasy lineup.

Software firms no longer need Silicon Valley
Blog Entry:
July 30, 2013 9:13 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Yuval Brisker, co-founder and CEO of
TOA Technologies Inc.
in Beachwood, is quoted in
Wall Street Journal
that notes Silicon Valley increasingly is losing out to other parts of the country as more software is delivered to businesses through the cloud.
OpenView Venture Partners managing director Adam Marcus, whose firm is in Boston, tells
The Journal
that he recently pulled together a list of 96 public companies that deliver business software as a web service and found two-thirds of them were founded and continue to be headquartered outside the Bay Area, in places ranging from Cleveland to Weston, Fla., and Tulsa, Okla., in the United States, and to Israel and Beijing abroad.
Founders of these business software companies tend to be older — in their 30s and 40s — with families who already are established in their communities, Mr. Marcus says. "They don't feel this juvenile need to be in San Francisco," he tells the newspaper.
Non-Bay Area software companies also continue to attract big investments.
TOA, which creates software used by companies to manage field service workers,
recently raised $66 million
from Technology Crossover Ventures and is staying put in Beachwood, Mr. Brisker says.
"I think the beauty of what you're seeing now is the emergence of creativity everywhere," he tells
The Journal
"Where in the past you had to travel to the centers of finance and technology to get things done, now you don't have to," says Mr. Brisker, who adds that it's easier to compete for talented people in Cleveland, too.
The fight goes on
Crain's Cleveland Business
sister publication
Business Insurance
takes an in-depth look
at Ohio employers' efforts to fight court-set workers' compensation rates.
"Imagine a trial court lacking actuarial sophistication supplanting an underwriter's expertise in setting workers' compensation insurance rates," the story begins. "That essentially is what happened in Ohio, argues an amicus brief filed July 19 by employer and labor supporters of the state's monopoly workers' comp insurer, the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation."
The story notes that the brief in
San Allen Inc. et al. vs. Stephen Buehrer
, administrator of the Ohio BWC, addresses a class action lawsuit now before Ohio's 8th Appellate District after a 2012 trial court ruling that the bureau — the nation's largest state fund — abused its rate-setting discretion for years.
Last March, a Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court
ordered the bureau
to pay $859 million in restitution to nearly 270,000 Ohio businesses for allegedly overcharging them through a group experience rating plan that discounted premiums for employers that pooled their individual claims experience over an eight-year period.
In the lawsuit with the bureau's group rating structure at its core, the Ohio trial court judge "superseded the bureau's rate-making authority by devising a formula to determine the amount of money to be refunded to policyholders," says Roger Geiger, Ohio executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business.
"We just think it is very, very dangerous to ask the court to set rates," Mr. Geiger said. "They have now created a formula, which is basically setting rates to calculate rebates, and that puts the court in the position of determining this formula that they just don't have the expertise to do."
Andrew Doehrel, president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce in Columbus, argues that the court substituted its judgment for the bureau's by essentially ruling on the appropriateness of the bureau's rate-setting authority. He also says that while the bureau's surplus is currently solid, taking $859 million from the fund could force the insurer to raise its prices should its reserves diminish in the future.
"$859 million is nothing to sneeze about," Mr. Doehrel tells

The new class of Executive MBA students at Cleveland State University's
Monte Ahuja College of Business
is really cooking. Literally, with the help of
Heinen's Fine Foods
Students in the 19-month program participate in a weeklong residency consisting of team building and educational activities that gives them a chance to get to know their fellow classmates.
One of the highlights is a cooking competition, set for Monday, August 12, at the Brecksville Heinen's store, at 8383 Chippewa Road.
Here's how the school describes the event:
Student teams will arrive at the Brecksville Heinen's at around 4:30 p.m. where each student will be given $75 from Cleveland State University and will have 45 minutes to shop. Teams must check out together and not exceed their allotted budget. Once the shopping is complete, students are taken to another location to cook. Teams must assemble a small grill and only after it is successfully built can they start cooking their meals, which they have 45 minutes to complete. Full meals are presented to a panel of judges made up of faculty, alumni and special guests. Along with the food, the teams must explain to the judges how and why the meal represents the diverse backgrounds of the members. Judges then deliberate and choose the winning team based on several factors including presentation, plating, originality and taste.
Dr. Elad Granot, director of the Executive MBA program, said "We are thrilled to be working with Heinen's for this event. It was very important to us to align ourselves with a local company that has an entrepreneurial spirit and a great reputation in the community."

Assault on the Leaf Village! (木ノ葉襲撃!, Konoha Shūgeki!) is episode 157 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
Pain begins his invasion on Konohagakure. The Asura Path, Animal Path, and the Preta Path make up the Diversion team while the Naraka Path, Deva Path and Human Path together with Konan are assigned to the Search team. Upon closer inspection with his Rinnegan, Pain discover that a barrier is surrounding Konoha from every angle, making it impossible to enter without being detected. The Asura Path proceeds to throw the Animal Path through the barrier who then proceeds to summon the rest of the invading party after breaching the barrier. This manages to fool the barrier team into expect only one intruder. Meanwhile Inoichi searches through Yūdachi's mind; a ninja captured by Jiraiya. Shizune and her team that are autopsying the body of the first Animal Path discovers that the piercings in the Animal Path's body were chakra receivers. Sakura and Shikamaru continued deciphering the message that Jiraiya left them when they noticed a big explosion and set out to investigate. Other ninja also notice the explosion and begin taking action. Sakura encountered a Giant Centipede summoned earlier by the Animal Path and defeated it with a single blow. She was then tasked by Iruka to go to the hospital and tend the wounded. Meanwhile, Ino heads to the Intel Division to tell her father what was happening to Konoha while Choji went to his father. Meanwhile, at the Hokage's mansion, Tsunade is briefed on the situation by a member of the Barrier corps and also from an ANBU saying that the enemy strength is estimated as approximately three battalions. She's also informed from a witness that it is the Akatsuki that is attacking. She then declares a State of Emergency and orders for Naruto to be brought back.

EOIR Announces Latest Disciplinary Actions Under Rules
of Professional Conduct
Three Attorneys Immediately
Suspended; Five Receive Final Orders
FALLS CHURCH, Va. The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) has taken disciplinary action against eight attorneys after charging them with violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct for immigration practitioners. These rules appear in Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR Parts 1003 and 1292). In most cases, the disciplinary action is initiated as a result of sanctions imposed by other jurisdictions or a criminal conviction.
Although the disciplinary process may vary according to the specific circumstances of each case, generally it includes the following steps:
Disciplinary proceedings begin with a Notice of Intent to Discipline filed with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) by the Office of the General Counsel of either EOIR or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The BIA requires the attorney to respond to the alleged violations. In some cases, a Petition for Immediate Suspension also is filed and the BIA orders the attorney to be suspended immediately from practice before the immigration courts, the BIA, and the DHS. (DHS joins EOIR in taking the disciplinary action.) Disciplined attorneys are directed to notify promptly, in writing, their clients with pending immigration cases that they may no longer represent them before the BIA, the immigration courts, or the DHS. Disciplined attorneys must petition and be reinstated by the BIA before they can resume the practice of law before the BIA, the immigration courts, and the DHS.
Immediate Suspension
The BIA ordered the immediate suspension of
the following attorneys:
Final Orders of Discipline
The BIA issued Final Orders of Discipline against
the following attorneys:
The Rules of Professional Conduct include provisions specifying grounds for
disciplinary action, requirements for receiving and investigating complaints,
and procedures for conducting hearings. The Rules also authorize the
BIA to suspend immediately a practitioner who has been subject to disbarment,
suspension, or resignation with an admission of misconduct as imposed by a
state or federal court, or who has been convicted of a serious crime, pending
a summary proceeding and final sanction. They are available on the EOIR website
at http://www.justice.gov/eoir/vll/fedreg/2000_2001/fr27jn00R.pdf.
EOIR announces these disciplinary actions to inform the public about practitioners who are not authorized to represent any matter before an immigration tribunal. EOIR also posts a "List of Suspended and Expelled Practitioners" on its website at http://www.justice.gov/eoir (near the bottom of EOIR's home page).
Additional information about the Attorney Discipline Program can be found at http://www.justice.gov/eoir/press/00/profcond.htm and http://www.justice.gov/eoir/press/00/profcondfaks.htm on the EOIR website.
EOIR is responsible for adjudicating immigration cases.
Specifically, under delegated authority from the Attorney General, EOIR interprets
and administers federal immigration laws by conducting immigration court proceedings,
appellate reviews, and administrative hearings. EOIR consists of three components:
the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge, which is responsible for managing
the numerous immigration courts located throughout the United States where
immigration judges adjudicate individual cases; the Board of Immigration Appeals,
which primarily conducts appellate reviews of immigration judge decisions;
and the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer, which adjudicates
immigration-related employment cases. EOIR is committed to providing fair,
expeditious, and uniform application of the nation's immigration laws in all

Apple releases iOS 6.0.1 and Updater for iPhone 5
I haven't updated to iOS 6.0.1 yet but the Facebook app is crashing on iOS 6 on my iPod touch 5 and 4S but the app only crashes for me when I sign in and this starting happening about 2 hours ago
For all you iPhone 5 owners that are having poor battery life.......connect your phone to your computer and back up your phone to itunes. After your phone is finished backing up, remove it and erase all content on your phone, then reconnect your phone to your computer and reinstall the backup to your phone from iTunes.
My battery life was horrible going down 20 to 30% within two hrs from a full charge. after I did this my phones battery lasts all day. As i write this now, my phone is at 60% and its been off the charger for 16+ hrs and LTE is turned on.
Try this if your having poor battery life. It should improve it.
I hope the Exchange calendar thing is really fixed. It was causing some serious issues at work.
For those that are not familiar, the Exchange meeting bug could sometimes cancel a meeting for EVERYONE if one attendee declines the invite. There were a heck of a lot of "Are we having the weekly meeting? It's not on my calendar anymore" type emails at work over this.

President Barack Obama, as part of his We Can't Wait initiative, announced the infrastructure projects which are estimated to produce nearly 5,000 megawatts of clean energy, enough to power approximately 1.5 million homes, a White House release reported Tuesday.
"As part of President Obama's all-of-the-above strategy to expand domestic energy production and strengthen the economy, we are working to advance smart development of renewable energy on our public lands," Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said.
"These seven proposed solar and wind projects have great potential to grow our nation's energy independence, drive job creation, and power economies across the west."
The projects include two solar power efforts in California, two in Nevada, and a wind energy project in Wyoming said to be the largest proposed wind farm in North America.
Two projects in Arizona, one solar and one wind, are intended to help the state meet its renewable energy goals, the White House said.

Start vs. Rays a homecoming of sorts for Fernandez
Rookie, who attended high school in Tampa, opposes Odorizzi in opener
This season might seem like a dream to Marlins rookie Jose Fernandez, and Monday will likely provide his next "pinch me" moment.
Fernandez, who defected from Cuba in 2008, attended high school in Tampa, Fla., and on Monday he'll pitch in front of his friends and family at Tropicana Field in nearby St. Petersburg.
"I would be lying if I said it didn't mean more," Fernandez said. "It's good to be pitching in Tampa."
Fernandez, who pitched in Class A last year, on April 7 became the youngest pitcher to start a game for the Marlins, at 20.
Fernandez has compiled a 3.31 ERA in nine starts and has struck out 46 in 49 innings. Over his last five starts, he's 2-0 with a 2.48 ERA, with a 27-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Opponents are batting .208 against him over that stretch.
But Monday will be a homecoming of sorts. He's already pitched at the Trop, in a tournament in his junior year of high school. He also attended a few Rays games.
"I saw maybe five [or] six games. We'd be way back in left field, way up high," he said. "I'm going to be facing the guys that I've watched on TV for the last five years. It's incredible."
But despite his youth and the potential nerves of returning home to pitch, Fernandez is taking a mature approach to the start.
"This is the big leagues," he said. "You've got to be professional. I might be a little pumped up when I'm warming up, because it's normal, but once I throw the first pitch, I'm going to do my job and do what I do."
Starting opposite Fernandez will be another rookie, Jake Odorizzi, filling in for the injured David Price.
It's just his second start of the season, and he admitted to being a little nervous in the early going of his first outing.
"It's kind of another game now," Odorizzi said. "Once you get the first one out of the way, it's more baseball as usual. So I'm going to do the same thing I did last game, and hopefully be locked in from the get-go and settled in from the first inning on and carry that throughout the whole game."
Odorizzi pitched well in his Rays debut, against the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk, but he had six strikeouts and took a no-decision.
He started two games last year for the Royals before moving to the Rays as part of the James Shields trade, so he's still a little unfamiliar with most Marlins hitters.
"I faced a few of them last year in New Orleans, maybe a handful," he said. "But other than that, no. Last year was the first year I had faced any Marlins affiliates. So I'm just familiar with the people from last year if they're in the lineup tomorrow."
Marlins: Still struggling at the dish
Miami enters Monday's contest with the lowest batting average in the Majors, at .221. In addition, the Marlins have the lowest on-base-plus-slugging percentage, by a wide margin. Their rate of .598 is well short of the Nationals' .659 clip, which currently rates as second worst.
In comparison, the Major League average is .721, 123 points higher than Miami.
Rays: Swapping spots
Alex Cobb had been on track to make Monday's start, but manager Joe Maddon took advantage of an off-day on Thursday to move up Cobb to face the Yankees in the series finale on Sunday instead of Odorizzi.
The move paid off. Cobb pitched 8 1/3 stellar innings before giving way to the bullpen. He allowed two earned runs, struck out eight and didn't walk a batter.
Worth noting
• Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna extended his 11-game hitting streak with two hits on Sunday and raised his batting average to .304.

A loud cry of advocacy for keeping Medicare/MediCal fully funded
Well, come it did. On Thursday, Oct. 13, the public filled all the seats, lined the walls and overflowed out of two open doors. With tempers getting hot a few times, the extra cool air helped.
Deal spoke for a bit and then opened the floor for comments.
Residents had a lot to tell Deal. To sum it up, the people attending the meeting reasoned that health care should be the highest priority in funding decisions at state and federal levels.
Complaints ranged over a spectrum of specifics:
—Prescription drugs cost way too much and for questionable causes.
—Unemployment in Plumas County is higher than average and cost of living is higher as well.
—Loss of medical/SNF funding means loss of jobs, which puts Plumas County into an even worse situation.
—Loss of jobs means even more people will need the medical and financial support.
—Money spent on wars should be spent on health care.
—Inmates received better health care than seniors and the poor.
—Get rid of inefficiencies of the system, not the funding.
—It's just wrong to take away from needy seniors.
Jeri Nelson, chief financial officer at EPHC, reminded Deal that the message to take back to McClintock was simply to tell the CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicare Services), "No! Don't cut funding that will hurt the skilled nursing facilities of California."
The SNFs are the foundation of EPHC's other medical services provided to the area. McClintock has power to advocate for rural hospitals. Nelson directly asked that he do that.
The clarity of Nelson's message got lost in more angry cries over "inequity of funds distribution," as one person put it.
Toward the end of the hour, one person asked if our nation had come to a point where it is ready to abandon senior citizens.
Deal received a challenge from several voices in the room to come again to Plumas County with McClintock, a Republican, and a Democratic congressman who would show up together with a plan to save hospitals like EPHC. One man said, "Forget about parties." He wanted legislators to do their jobs.
There was a refusal in the room to believe that there is no solution to the country's health care woes if those who govern would agree to come together to find a solution.
Deal's response at one point was, "This is not the only thing going on." He inferred that other issues also take the interest of representatives in Congress, at which point Supervisor Jon Kennedy demanded, "It can't happen." He said the idea of the proposed cuts "is so absurd it's like a dream."
A bad dream.
