William Trumbull
Sir William Trumbull (8 September 1639 – 14 December 1716) was an English statesman who held high office as a member of the First Whig Junto.
Trumbull was born at Easthampstead Park in Berkshire, the son and heir of William Trumbull (1594–1668) and grandson of William Trumbull the Jacobean period diplomat.[1] He was educated at Wokingham School and St John's College, Oxford. In 1667 he was awarded a Doctorate of Civil Law and elected to a fellowship at All Souls. In the same year he was entered at the Middle Temple, and was admitted an advocate in Doctors' Commons on 28 April 1668. He began practising in the ecclesiastical and admiralty courts.
In 1683 he was appointed Judge Advocate of the Fleet and sailed in Lord Dartmouth's expedition to evacuate the British colony at Tangier, where he was to act as commissioner for settling the leases of the houses between the King and the inhabitants. Samuel Pepys, who was also on the expedition, was unimpressed – "Strange to see how surprised and troubled Dr. Trumbull shows himself at this new work put on him of a judge-advocate; how he cons over the law-martial and what weak questions he asks me about it." Later Pepys calls him "a man of the meanest mind as to courage that ever was born."
In 1684, the King considered Trumbull as a possible Secretary of State, but he was eventually offered the office of Secretary of War in Ireland, which he turned down. Nevertheless, he was knighted on 21 November 1684, and the following February was made Clerk of the Deliveries of the Ordnance; he entered Parliament as MP for East Looe 1685–1687. However, Charles II died a few days later and Trumbull had to relinquish the clerkship when he was sent by James II, unwillingly, as envoy extraordinary to France. Trumbull was an odd choice for the post, being a zealous opponent of Roman Catholicism, and did much to benefit the condition of the English Protestants in France after Edict of Fontainebleau. In 1686 he was recalled from Paris, but was instead appointed Ambassador at Constantinople, where he remained until 1691. He was also made a Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company.
On 3 May 1694 he was appointed a Commissioner of the Treasury, and a year later was made a Privy Counsellor and appointed Secretary of State for the Northern Department. However, he was unhappy in the post, and resigned it on 2 December 1697. He then retired from public life.
Trumbull was a friend of both John Dryden and Alexander Pope.[2] Dryden records, in the postscript to his translation of Virgil, that "if the last Aeneid shine amongst its fellows, it is owing to the commands of Sir William Trumbull, who recommended it as his favourite to my care." It was Trumbull who, admiring Pope's translation of the "Epistle of Sarpedon" from the Iliad urged him to translate the whole of Homer's works, and Pope's "Spring" was dedicated to him.
In 1670, Trumbull married Elizabeth (or Katherine), daughter of Sir Charles Cotterell,[3] Master of the Ceremonies; she died in 1704, they having had no children. In 1706, he married Judith Alexander, daughter of the Earl of Stirling. They had two children, Judith (1707–1708) and William (1708–1760).
Trumbull died in 1716, and is buried at Easthampstead.
His son William had an only daughter, who became the wife of the Hon. Martin Sandys. She was thus the ancestress of the later marquesses of Downshire.
Many of Trumbull's letters are in the British Library and in the Record Office, London.[4] Trumbull was on friendly terms with Pierre Bayle and was a mentor to the young Henry St. John, later Viscount Bolingbroke, who may have met his great friend, Pope, through Trumbull.[5]

- High School Corona del Mar High School
- Debut September 3, 1977

[edit] Biographical Information
Pitcher Matt Keough is the son of Marty Keough and the nephew of Joe Keough and Tom Keough. He is best known as one of the workhorse starters for the Oakland A's during the early 1980's.
Keough was named to the All-Star Team in his rookie season for the 1978 Athletics, recording an ERA of 3.24 that belied his 8-15 won-loss record. However, he had a dreadful sophomore year in 1979 for the 1979 Athletics, tying a major league record by losing his first 14 decisions and finishing the year 2-17. His winning percentage of .105 was the worst recorded by a pitcher since 1916 (Jack Nabors and Tom Sheehan).
Keough enjoyed a resurgence after the 1980 Athletics hired Billy Martin as their manager. He tossed a shutout in his first outing of the year and won his first three starts. As part of Martin's "five aces" rotation, Keough and his fellow starters were subjected to a workload unheard of for modern pitchers. Keough completed 13 of his first 16 starts and 16 of his first 20 in 1980. His 20 complete games for the season placed him third in the AL behind teammates Rick Langford and Mike Norris. For the season, he recorded a 16-13 record and a 2.92 ERA and was named 1980 AL Comeback Player of the Year.
Keough won his first five starts for the 1981 Athletics, but began to feel pain in his shoulder in May of that year. He pitched through the pain and performed admirably in a losing effort in Game 3 of the 1981 ALCS, giving up 1 earned run in 8 1/3 innings in a game the A's would lose 4-0.
The wear and tear began to catch up with Keough and he had an awful season for the 1982 Athletics, putting up a 5.72 ERA. He walked more batters than he struck out and he led the league in home runs allowed, earned runs allowed, and losses.
In 1983 Keough was traded by the 1983 Athletics to the 1983 Yankees for minor leaguers Ben Callahan and Marshall Brant. He continued to struggle, putting up a 5.33 ERA in 99 2/3 innings. In 1984, he voluntarily went down to the AA Nashville Sounds in the spring in an unsuccessful attempt to learn a knuckleball, and finally succumbed to the shoulder pain. Keough was placed on the disabled list with a strained rotator cuff and was released at the end of the year. He made 4 appearances for the 1985 Cardinals, and then managed to make the 1986 Cubs as a non-roster invitee out of spring training, but was released on June 14. Keough then hooked up with the 1986 Astros for 10 appearances and 5 starts.
Following the season, Keough joined the Hanshin Tigers in Japan and pitched for them from 1987 to 1990. He began his Nippon Pro Baseball career by going 11-14, 3.80 for the 1987 Tigers, then was 12-12, 2.76 in his best season a year later. He was sixth in the Central League in ERA and led foreign pitchers in the CL despite a league-high 8 hit batsmen. In 1989, Matt allowed the most earned runs in the circuit (83) en route to a 5-9, 3.72 season. Continuing to decline, Keough was 7-9 with a 5.00 ERA in his fourth and last year with Hanshin. Overall, he had gone 45-44, 3.73 in Japan.
He attempted to return to the major leagues with the 1991 Angels but did not make the team. The following year, Keough made a bid to make the 1992 Angels as well, but while sitting in the dugout during a spring training game at Scottsdale Stadium outside Phoenix, he was hit in the right temple by a foul ball off the bat of the Giants' John Patterson. The blow caused a life-threatening blood clot, which required surgery and ended his career. Keough took a job in 1992 as a minor league scout with the Angels and was employed by the Angels through 1999. He has also worked as a scout for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and is currently Special Assistant to the General Manager for the Oakland A's.
In April 2005, Keough was involved in a car accident while driving while intoxicated. He pled guilty to drunk driving, injuring a pedestrian, and leaving the scene of an accident and afterward checked into a Betty Ford Clinic and an outpatient alcoholism program. Keough served three months in jail for charges related to the incident.
Keough is seperated from November 1980 Playboy Centerfold Jeana Tomasina. His son, Shane Keough, is a shortstop who was signed by the A's as a draft and follow in 2006 after being made their 36th pick in the June, 2005 draft.

is it wrong that dialectic chaos is almost my favorite megadeth track?
Album Rating: 4.0yes, actually
Digging: Elder (USA-MA) - Lore
damn, i suspected as much
Yeah I gotta agree with this review. This album is one epic riff after another
Album Rating: 4.5Nice review. I like this album so much, it was coming back to shape and great melodic thrash. Nice balanced album, solos are great. This one is right after RIP, PSBWB and CTE for me. :D :D :D
Album Rating: 3.0This is not worthy of a 4 at all.
This is not classic Megadeth. There are a few good riffs, that's it.
Lyrics are cheesy as hell and Dave's vocal performance sucks. His voice is 10x worse live.
Broderick is an incredible guitar player but none of his solos are memorable. Just mindless shredding.
Headcrusher and The Hardest Part Of Letting Go are the dumbest tracks ever.
Nothing memorable here.
3.5 great

A common misconception is that you can't have top-class performance cooking if you have an electric cooktop. In designing the new Miele electric cooktop series, we set out to change this perception forever.
High-speed ribbon burners create considerable heat fast, bringing pots of water to boil quickly, and certainly no longer than cooking with gas. Similarly, simmering is designed into the product, as the burners will cycle on and off to maintain a constant heat range.
A major advantage of the Miele Ceran glass electric cooktop is the flexibility to adjust the size of the cooking zone. The 30" and 36" products feature two and three such variable burners. A burner that is used for a large pasta pot at one meal can be scaled back in size for delicate sauce preparation the next time.
The elongated burner is ideal for unique cooking appliances, such as the oval pot utilized for salmon poaching or asparagus.
The smooth surface of all of the electric cooktops makes cleanup extremely easy. The surface retains its gloss-like finish even after many years of use, as the tough glass material has durability at odds with its sleek appearance.
The Miele electric cooktop; we are confident that its many advantages will leave you convinced that you can have top-class performance and much more.

PORTLAND, Ore. A study led by researchers in the Oregon Health & Science University Smoking Cessation Center may change the way clinicians make treatment decisions for their patients who smoke.
Their findings published online in the journal Addiction suggest that current treatment theories that maintain any smoking after the planned target quit day predicts treatment failure need to be expanded to take into account a more dynamic quitting process. The team's analysis points to two types of successful quitters: those who quit immediately and remain abstinent through the end of treatment and those who are "delayed" in attaining abstinence but achieve success by the end of treatment.
"In 'real-world' clinic settings, health care providers must decide whether or not to continue a specific treatment based on their clinical judgment and the published reports in the scientific literature. They can lose confidence that a specific cessation treatment is effective when the patient is unable to quit on the recommended target quit day or if the patient is unable to maintain total abstinence within the early weeks of treatment," said David Gonzales, Ph.D., the study's lead author and a senior clinical investigator in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the OHSU Smoking Cessation Center, OHSU School of Medicine.
"Patients also can become discouraged that a treatment is not working and worry about continuing to pay for treatments they believe do not work. As a result, cessation treatment for some patients may be discontinued before the prescribed treatment period is completed and the patient and/or the treatment considered a failure."
In this study, however, the data show a substantial proportion of smokers who became 'successful quitters' by the end of 12 weeks of treatment smoked in one or more weeks during the first eight weeks and were delayed in achieving a period of continuous abstinence. This was true of successful quit

Schwarzenegger: Printed Texts Are Old School
In the state that gave the world Facebook, Google, and the iPod, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says forcing California's students to rely on printed textbooks is so yesterday.
The governor recently launched an initiative to see if the state's 6 million public school students could use more online learning materials, including open courseware–perhaps saving millions of dollars a year in textbook purchases.
Now, other states will be watching to see how the initiative fares. "California is home to software giants, bioscience research pioneers, and first-class university systems known around the world. But our students still learn from instructional materials in formats made possible by Gutenberg's printing press," Schwarzenegger wrote in a recent op-ed in the San Jose Mercury News.

Fabrication is the cornerstone of the custom truck world. "Fabricate This" brings the minds of fabricators onto the pages of your favorite magazine. Read along and try to keep up. Our goal is to publish as many pertinent questions and answers as possible. If you have a question, send it in and we will do our best to have it answered.

Bob Grant — Grant Kustoms
First off, I'd like to say farewell to Cary Iaccino and thank him for all of the info and advice in all of the past "Fabricate This" columns. Eric Saliba is stepping in to help me out with your questions and bring some fresh new ideas to this column.
Ask us anything and we will do our best to answer your questions and provide you with a little knowledge. I have been hacking up trucks for a minute and keep getting better and more efficient at it with age. As long as it's safe and looks clean, show your truck and be proud of it. Help keep our sport alive.
Shop Quest
I have a Silverado that I want to get some work on, maybe body drop it and do some custom metalwork. How can I find a good shop that will take care of my truck and me? I notice that a lot of shops say that they are the best, but how can you really tell which ones are good and which are just BS?
Tim Kiraly
Tracy, CA
Well Tim, it's a simple matter of evaluation. Different shops specialize in different areas, so ask around, and find some of their customers. Check out previous rides, recent projects and current builds. If they are as good as they claim they are, their work will show it. Don't judge them by the work they did when they first started, though, chances are everyone has a few skeletons in their closest; so judge by what they're putting out now. Good luck!
Eric Saliba — The Little Shop of Horrors
When I was tapped on the shoulder and asked to contribute to this column, accepting the offer was a no-brainer. I mean heck, I already spend most of my time on the shop computer answering crazy questions about fabrication anyway. So really, ST was just asking, "Wanna get paid for that?" I know that's a tough one. Truth is I've developed a knack for convincing people I have some sort of clue about the subjects of custom trucks, metalworking and which are the best beers on the planet; all of which is completely untrue except for the last part. It must have worked, because they asked me to help with Fabricate This!
Don't let that discourage you, though. Bob is still onboard to offer wisdom gained through years of doing what he does best. So when I'm unsure about something and can't fake a good answer, he'll take over and divulge information he's picked up during two decades in the business. Since I'm new here, I've compiled a short list of hypothetical questions that I wouldn't mind being asked and to which I would offer a decent response.
Bed Job
I'm working on a '99 full-size Chevy 'bagged on 24-inch wheels, and I would like to smooth the bed sheet metal, floor and bedsides with sheet metal. How do I determine the best gauge material to use for this job? How should I go about bracing the floor underneath?
Joe Questionasker
This is a common question. Without having experienced the pros and cons of building beds in a variety of different ways, it would be difficult to know what works well and what works, well, not so well. There are several factors to consider with a question like this: is the bed being painted or coated with a spray-in bedliner? Will it be a beauty piece or will some stuff get thrown in it from time to time? Are there any compound shapes being built into the bed, or is it all flat? So it helps to be as detailed as possible with your questions so as to get an accurate response from yours truly.
What r u doin my truck is lowered now how hard is it to 'bag my truck? Thnx
Texty Mctextinstein
Okay, see I don't mind getting questions like this if you don't mind getting a link to Rosetta Stone software (for English) when I email you back. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, though. Maybe it's not that people are lazy; maybe there is some slight possibility they are the owners of keyboards without all of the generally available characters and happen to have a spellcheck program that shortens everything to text-speak. That's fine. Send what you got. If I keep up like this, I may not get anything at all, so I'll try not to be picky.
Watch It Now
Why will some old engines leak when they are filled with antifreeze, but will stop when filled with straight water? And what are the REAL lyrics to that song "Louie Louie"?
Jack Curious
I'm a sucker for random stuff like this, so don't hesitate to send unrelated questions in addition to your fabrication stumpers. I'm game for whatever. Well, I'm hereby and henceforth happy to be onboard with this column.
My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com (eric null@null friendlychopshop NULL.com). And ladies, please don't be afraid to send questions as well or anything else—anything! For the rest of you, next time you're out in the garage tinkering on this or that, and you wish you had an expert fabricator in your pocket, just email us. I'm not one, but I'll pretend like I am, and at least you'll get some kind of answer to your query. And that, my friends, is better than nothing.
Thanks for reading, see you next month.
If you would like to submit a question for the "Fabricate This" column for either Bob Grant or Eric Saliba please email email@example.com (fabthis null@null streettrucksmag NULL.com), or contact them directly via www.grantkustoms.com (http://www NULL.grantkustoms NULL.com/) for Bob or www.friendlychopshop.com (http://www NULL.friendlychopshop NULL.com/) for Eric.

Great source for MSEP history!
I still have a couple versions of the small record with Mickey and some of the floats on the front. I never noticed till just now that the first record has the Chinese Dragon on it and a WDW logo while the other two have Pete's Dragon and Mushrooms. This first one cost only $1.79 and one of the others cost $2.98, still a bargain!

Mean what you say, say what you mean. Because, people who matter don't mind and people who mind, don't matter. Love life and stay positive.
My name is Liz. Im a flaming Leo. I live to eat, not eat to live. I LOVE live music, jam music inparticular. The artists I shuffle through while I drive are Neil Young, Grateful Dead, CSNY, Umphrey's McGee, and of course, my favorite band, Widespread Panic. I like to play disc golf and I live a couple miles from the beach, so I like to jog on the beach. I'm a free-spirit. I make and sell jewelry. Im a conservative, southern girl from Orlando. My parents moved my brother and I to Columbia, SC when I was 12. Terrible place..don't go there! ;) I moved to Charleston in 2009. I've visited cities all over the US, but Charleston is my favorite that I've lived in so far. I went to culinary school there, moved back home to my parents house last year and started making jewelry. My dad got a new job in FL, so I decided to move back down to FL with them. I've always heard that the older you get, the harder it is to make friends and I've been finding out lately that couldn't be more true! Not being a student anymore and in a new town that I know no one, its hard to meet new people. You've got to start somewhere, so I look forward to meeting new friends. I hopefully can meet someone who isn't afraid to be himself and that thrives to stand up for what he believes. I can't stand pushovers. If you don't have an opinion, I don't have time. I am very passionate, therefore need someone else who knows and understands that type of personality. Im past the point in my life where I put looks first. If you're yourself and are proud of it, everything else will speak for itself. I need a man who knows how to communicate and who is honest. In fact, blatant honestly is how I like it. I'd rather someone be completely forward with me, than tell me a white lie. Family is very important to me. I see myself being with someone who feels the same; someone I could share bonds with his family members is important. :) I never really grew up with grandparents, so it's special to me when I can meet someones elders and can form a bond with them, especially grandparents or great aunts and uncles.

Quitting (Motorcycles)?
View Single Post
Joined: Nov 2007
Location: Lantana, TX...after 56 years in Carmel Valley, Ca.
Oddometer: 3,063
I have maintained, for years, that you can not become the safest, best rider you can, until you have realized, and fully comprehended what risks and responsibilities come with motorcycling.
The key word is "responsibilities"! Are you prepared for the potential injuries to you, your family, your friends. Are you actually aware of the possibilities, and have you done everything in your power to be prepared? Do you have the right insurance? Is your medical and long term disabillity ins. up to date? Are your assets in a trust so your spouse doesn't have to go through probate? Are you wearing appropriate gear? Have you done all you can to make yourself and your bike more visable?
Do you accept the responsibility for whatever happens to you while riding? I believe that at least 95%, maybe as high as 99% of all motorcycle accidents could have been avoided or prevented by the rider! Sure, cars do make unexpected U-turns, and they do pull out of driveways without looking, and they do change lanes into "your" space, but should you have "seen it coming"? Should you have been riding slower and noticed the car up ahead put on their brakelights and pull to the right shoulder? That would be a warning that even without a turn signal, they might be U-turning? Why were you doing 40 through a residential neighborhood and not noticed that the streets were lined with parked cars that a dog, a kid, a ball, a car could come out from behind with little or no warning? Have you practiced your emergency braking? Did you skip getting ABS because "I can brake better" or "it costs too much"!
When you have answered all the questions, and looked yourself in the mirror and said, I am doing this as safely and as well as I can, I love riding, and I'm prepared for the worst, then and only then, should you get back on a bike and call yourself a "motorcyclist".
It's just my opinion, and it's worth what you payed for it......

'Pan' Screenwriter in Talks to Script 'Wonder Woman'
Posted on Thursday, December 4th, 2014 by Russ Fischer

Michelle MacLaren was recently hired to direct, and the two will work together on the script, and the film will eventually star Gal Gadot, who makes her debut as the Amazonian warrior in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016.

California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced the release of the Education Technology Task Force's "Education Technology Blueprint" report this morning at William Burnett Elementary School.
Torlakson presented an outline of 19 recommendations to support California educators using technology to enhance the learning experience of children all over the country. The Blueprint recommendations -- that came from education taskforce members, school administrators, and teachers and education professionals -- focus on learning, teaching, assessment and infrastructure.
He also said policies based on the recommendations had already begun, including adoption of the Local Control Funding Formula and securing $1.25 billion in funding for school districts transitioning to the new Common Core State Standards, which require the integration of academic content standards through technology-based instruction to improve students' academic performances.

On Sunday night, the Wild from Wenatchee beat the Amarillo Bulls by a score of 7-0 in pool play. Oh my, what a difference 24 hours makes. The crowd favorite Amarillo Bulls stampeded the Wenatchee (Wash) Wild on Monday night at the Dr. Pepper Center in Frisco, to win the North American Hockey League Championship.
The Bulls dominated the game from the first face off. The Bulls took a 2-0 lead as Tyler Deresky got free down the left hand side and fired a shot low to beat Nichols.
Ryan Cole was the star of the show with a pair of goals and his goalie, Paul Berrafato, turned away all 16 shots he faced. Conversely the Wild's hometown kid in goal, Robert Nichols, faced a nonstop barrage from all angles. The Dallas raised Nichols saw 24 shots and saved just 19.
The first of Cole's goals came short handed with a 7:30 to go in the second period. His second goal came less than three minutes later. And that was all she wrote for the Wild.
Omar Mullan and Tyler Deresky had a goal and an assist each for Amarillo and Matt Sieckhaus assisted on two goals.
Amarillo was pretty good this season to say the least. Combine the regular season (46-7-7), with their two rounds of the playoffs (6-1) and four games in the Robertson Cup tournament (3-1), and the Bulls went an insane (55-9-7). That's an .824 win percentage for those of you with the calculators.
This tournament didn't come without controversy though. Due to an overly complicated and bizarre set of tiebreaker rules - the Bulls would NOT have made Monday's championship game if they'd have lost by just 1 to the Wild on Sunday night in the pool play game. But if they lost by more than 1 they would somehow receive the #2 seed. Don't ask... There's no REASONABLE explanation as to why this was the case. The result was a 7-0 loss for the Bulls to the same team that they would pound one night later to take the cup championship.
The loss was so staggering, and so obvious to fans, most expect some kind of fallout from this loss and a subsequent change in the playoff formatting and tiebreaker rules before next years championship game.
First Period: 1, Amarillo, Joe Grabowski (Clint Carlisle), 12:28; 2, Amarillo, Tyler Deresky (Matt Sieckhaus), 5:41.
Second Period: 3, Amarillo, Ryan Cole (Omar Mullan), 7:30; 3, Amarillo, Cole (T.J. Sarcona, Deresky), 5:04.
Third Period: 5, Amarillo, Mullan (Sieckhaus), 4:53.
Goalies: Amarillo, Paul Berrafato (16 shots, 16 saves); Wenatchee, Robert Nichols (24 shots, 19 saves).

Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2015 #15
Saltwater- Catches of Tautog are being made inside the bay at the CBBT. Wrecks in the Cape Henry area are also producing Togs. Things are still quiet on the Flounder action so far, but we know this will break soon. Big news now is the huge Bluefin Tuna being caught and weighed in at Rudee Inlet. Reports have a 606lb giant caught this week. This is in addition to a 576lber caught last week. These weights are record breakers. Deep droppers are continuing to catch Tilefish and Barrelfish. However, pesky Dogfish … Read More »
Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2015 #14
Saltwater– Oregon – Inlet is temporarily closed to all vessels drafting more than 2ft. Fines are being issued. Shoaling is the cause of the closing, but dredging should be under way soon. Reports from Hatteras have boaters catching Blackfin and Yellowfin Tuna, Amberjack, and Dolphin. From the surf, decent Puppy Drum catches are happening, and a few big Red Drum have been caught. Deep dropping is a good choice for excellent table fare, and ocean wrecks are producing Tautog for those targeting them. Late March/early April usually brings word of … Read More »
Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2015 #13
Saltwater– Large Bluefin Tuna are being caught almost daily. Fish in the 400lb range are a possibility. Yellowfin are also being caught while targeting the Bluefins. Deep dropping remains an option for Tilefish, Rosefish, and Grouper. Seabass are being caught while deep dropping, but must be released. Tautog are available on ocean wrecks, but not many are focusing on them.
Freshwater– Tidal rivers are beginning to team with fish. Anglers are starting to catch shad below Richmond. Shad fishing should really take off in about 2 weeks. These fish can be … Read More »
Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2015 #12
Saltwater– The saltwater buzz is about the Tuna bite right now. Both Bluefin and Yellowfin are being caught from Oregon-Inlet charters. The deep drop bite for Tilefish, Rosefish, and Grouper is still very much alive. Seabass are being caught frequently, but must be released for now. Tautog are available on ocean wrecks when weather conditions allow.
Freshwater – Saturday the 21st will be the first Priority Series Tournament (Bass) of the season. Osbourne Landing will be the launch and weigh-in site. The recent warm temps have Bass moving shallow and reacting … Read More »

Weight in the 1st percentile :-(

Do not worry. If he is on a good curve and following his own path you have nothing to worry about. My 1st ds was always very low on teh charts. He was preemie and was very small at birth. He wasn't even 20lbs until he was 18 months or so. We had to keep him rear facing forever, back when it wasn't until age 2. He is 9 now and still small for his age, but doing fine. He is healthy.
Your pediatrician will let you know if he is unhealthy.

I would do what your doctor tells you and then go back for a weight check. It is a lot harder to play catch up!
Good luck mama:)
DH(shawn) + Me(hayden) = McKinley (one month early, sweet as pie)
My dd had her appointment today and she was 14 pounds and in the 25th percentile. It is so strange to me how babies the same weight are in different percentiles- who makes these charts up!? :)
I'm in the same boat as you! At her 6 month check up last week, LO was in the SECOND growth percentile at 12 lbs 6 oz. I started solids after that and she is doing fine.
Ped suggested supplementing with formula, but I don't want to either... LO gets everything she needs from breastmilk so I'm not going to stop. She doesn't take very much milk but what can you do? You can't really force LO to eat... a wise woman told me that babies will eat when they are hungry. I guess some babies are just overfed, or some babies are naturally bigger or smaller than others.
Good luck! I'll be right there with ya!

Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel (3) throws the ball as South Florida defensive end Ryne Giddins (97) pressures during the first half Saturday.
- Filed Under
It's been a season of tests so far for the Florida State football team. And so far it has passed every one.
Heading into Saturday evening, the No. 4 Seminoles had proven they could crush outmanned opponents at home. They also had proven they could win a big game against a Top 10 team.
At Raymond James Stadium, before a record crowd of 69,383 (at least half were wearing garnet and gold) FSU proved it could bounce back from an emotional win and deliver another winning performance in a 30-17 win over South Florida. ...

McKinley & Hobart: The Sought After Bicycle Mechanical, With Mark Hanna. Bicycle riding and races were all the rage in the 1890s. Bicycles were a motif or theme in the election of 1896 and "Good Roads" a Republican slogan. This clever novelty shows industrialist Marcus Hanna riding a bicycle "Warranted for 4 Years" with photographs of McKinley and Hobart on the wheels. The die-cut figure of "Hanna" can be pushed up and down, to simulate a rider-in-motion. It is difficult to find these in good condition. This example is in great shape, with no fading, stains, or paper loss. There is some minor wear by the rider's elbow and hip, caused by the mechanical action involved in operating the novelty. We consider this an unimprovable example. Diameter 1.125".

Damien Hirst's 'dead butterflies' stirs anger
First came the formaldehyde-soaked shark, then a severed cow's head, and now controversial British artist Damien Hirst is giving us... 9,000 dead butterflies? His recent exhibit at the Tate Modern, "In and Out of Love," consisted of two windowless rooms filled with live butterflies whizzing about, and was part of a larger retrospective that involved other winged insect-inspired creations. Many animal rights activists were angered when it was made public that the Tate show resulted in the total death toll of over 9,000 butterflies.

Urban Outfitters On The Hunt To Buy Companies
The company has grown organically throughout its history but is now looking for acquisitions, joint ventures, and other partnerships for the first time, Urban's chief executive officer said today.
For the first time in its history, hipster clothing haven Urban Outfitters plans to seek out companies to buy, Chief Executive Officer Richard Hayne said on a conference call today.
Hayne said the retailer is "aggressively" pursuing several companies to expand through an acquisition, partnership, or joint venture.
"The partnerships and acquisitions we believe present the most potential are those that have a similar customer profile to one of our existing brands, have a management team that will augment or complement our existing expertise, and those that offer strong growth opportunities," Hayne said. "We are in discussions with a couple folks, and that's moving along nicely."
Hayne's comments mark the first time Urban Outfitters has looked outside of its own house for growth. Typically, the company has organically expanded its product offerings, such as adding petite sizes at Anthropologie and intimates at Free People or creating new lines such as BHLDN and Terrain.
Urban Outfitters is remarkably specific in how they view their customers — the namesake brand tends to attract the "upscale homeless," while Anthropologie shoppers seek "respectability" in their communities. The Free People shopper, on the other hand, travels to music festivals, especially Coachella and Wanderlust, and is "sweet, cool, and boho."
Hayne seemed keenly aware that such precise customer definitions might make it difficult for an acquired company to fit into Urban Outfitters' culture, saying any purchase would become part of one of its existing brands, and identifying the "perfect candidate" for an acquisition as "slightly smaller than larger" to reduce risk.
"We also would like to have a management team that is capable of growth and understands that we have some, I think, pretty strong attributes to offer some of these folks in terms of helping them achieve their growth," he said.
Urban Outfitters, headquartered in Philadelphia, has just under $300 million of cash and equivalents on its balance sheet. The company, with about $2.8 billion in annual sales, posted record second-quarter profit today of $76 million and a net sales increase of 12%, better than many other retailers, which have been reporting sluggish results for the period. The company's shares were up 6.2% to $42.40 in after-hours trading Monday.

Our toddler and my mom's dog adore each other. Their introduction was a non-event. The dog is gentle and puts up with baby-lovin'.
Wishin' shall we presume by your silence that you have a new baby? I hope so.
As far as games and hobbies, peek a boo, forts and bike riding are huge around here. The park, museums and grandna's house are popular destinations. Crafting and drawing are hobbies for a few of us. DP and the big kids obsessively play a card game.
Nope, no baby...just prodromal labor hell (which is SO unfair, I had 2 weeks of prodromal labor with DS and having to go through this again--albeit as the NGP--seems just cruel). DW is headed to an induction massage this morning and we're hoping that helps regulate and get things going. Because it may be a positional issue on the part of the baby DW did lots of pelvic tilt/inversion stuff last night and baby was moving in all sorts of uncomfortable ways in response. Hopefully, the movement the baby did was into a better position.
As for pets and intros...we have two cats but had a dog (a dog who was great with babies/toddlers but aggressive towards adult visitors to the home--we re-homed him a few months ago). We had a strict baby and dog will not be unsupervised together policy and did lots of gradual intros...letting dog sniff a swaddle blanket etc. We also made sure to assert baby dominance over dog--dog was not allowed on couch if baby was on couch etc. It went well and the cats, well our girl cat ignored him and we didn't have the boy cat yet.
Two moms and two boys enjoying the truth that love always wins!!!
QOTD: Do you have any Mother's Day traditions?
Seraf: I think you handled kid #4's arrival with enormous grace.
Hi to everyone else!
Hey guys - our fam entered this contest if you have time to 'like' it :) I don't know if it matters to how they choose, but appreciate you checking it out anyways. It is a rare family pic where everyone is looking at the camera :) http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1382508/let-mothering-and-boba-pamper-you-this-mothers-day/20
(we are #36 a bit down the page)
and QOTD - mother's day traditions.
A great friend of ours always manages to make something with our kids without us seeing it - a card or treat of some kind. It is a beautiful thing she does each year. They hide it and we are told where to find it on mothers' day - it is such a sweet gift.
Other than that its a normal day here. We don't have any traditions. Maybe when the kids are older :) I wouldn't mind a breakfast in bed or something. Or a sleep in.
I voted for you, onemommy!
And if you fine and fabulous people could pop over there one more time and like my post, I'd be ever so grateful! We're #41, I think.
I promise cake and champagne for everyone if we win!
Virtually cake and champagne, that is.
i voted for you both!

M/C 2/10 ~Ahti Pan, forever in my heart.
It's been such a long time since I've been around these parts of the interwebs (I have a glorious three hours to myself this morning and I need to use most of it to clean the house which WILL get done...right?). I hope maybe I can squeeze in a little bit more time to chat. Hello to all the new and old folks on this thread.
DW and I have 3 kids. 1 toddler and 2 teens.
QOTD #1 - I hope to have more time to relax in May. This week, I got to read a magazine on my couch for 30 uninterrupted minutes. I don't remember the last time I sat with a paper reading product. It was awesome! We also bought a canoe (DW's parents gave us money for Christmas that came with the stipulation to be frivolous) and we'd love to get in more paddling time.
QOTD #2 - Fun? Well, whether it's fun or not, we try to make it fun? I love photography and yoga and anything outdoorsy like hiking or canoeing. I've been doing lots of travel for work with also involves lots of dinners and events so that's been a LOT of fun. With the kids, we kind of do whatever floats their boats. Often it's usually 4 of the 5 of us doing something because it's really difficult to wrangle two teens at the same time.
QOTD #3 and #4 - Ooops. I don't know where they are!
DW and I are moms to two teens (DD 17 and DS 15) adopted through CAS in 2007 and a toddler (DD 2) born at home in March 2011.
QOTD--Mother's Day traditions...OMG it's tomorrow! I have a tradition of sending my mom a card late, for one. Oops. Our girls always make us a meal--sometimes breakfast in bed, sometimes a fun lunch. We each help the kids make sure they have something for/something planned for each other. This year, I've been so busy leading up to Mother's Day, I have to help the girls get ready last minute! There is a cute project we want to do for my wife, found on pinterest: http://playfullearning.net/in-your-hands-exploring-multimedia-art/ and if the oldest doesn't want to do one of those, she will probably get her mom a CD and some chocolate. The main thing we always ask for is for them to get along. Which has been a major challenge for them. Especially now at their ages--10 and 15. I would love to do something from baby in utero for my wife, but haven't any ideas yet....any suggestions?

M/C 2/10 ~Ahti Pan, forever in my heart.
Hi Coco! Tennis and bike rides sound like fun.
I remember thinking my family was freakish at that age (well, 12-15). Hopefully she will come around soon. Blended family dynamics are so much more complicated. Do your girls have another parent in their lives?
CaNanny, how is getting out with those boys logistically? Are you tripple strollering it? Do you have to pack a change of clothes, diapers and food for a quick trip to the store?
Any ideas for how to organize families at the top? Age of oldest? Age of youngest? Alphabetical? Something better?
AOTD: plans so far just involve the park and the yard. I would like to plant the garden this month. We have a few travel plans for June.
QOTD: Do you have any pets? How do they do with the kids or the kids do with them?
We have a triple decker stroller that hold all 3 baby carseats. its super easy to fold up... but it is long... so I use that when i go out alone.. i almost always have one of our carriers with me in case someone has a meltdown or is fussy.. I have a diaper bag packed with an extra outfit for each kid, and diapers, wipes .. the bag is usually checked every other day or so to be sure it is still stocked up.. Once DP and I no longer have to share the mini van.. i plan to leave backpacks in the van with changes of clothes, extra diapers and other essentials..and just leave there..
QOTD.. we have 2 dogs and a cat who thinks anything of the babies is hers.. she scratches at their door to get in.. and any chance she gets shes in their cribs or on changing table.. its very annoying.. we just keep telling her no and removing her!
QOTD .. mothers day.. this was our 1st.. I had the boys make mommy a travel coffee mug with their feet prints.. now that was a project...
and my DP.. well.. she asked me to marry her today .. we are reg domestic partners but she bought me a ring and did this really cool photo collage she did the WILL YOU MARRY ME. in handmade wooden pieces made to look like scrabble pieces ( my fav game) and she brought me that in bed when i was snuggling the boys today.. so our big news is we are engaged .. she wants to have a little ceremony
We literally have done everything backwards :) LOL

It turns out if you only read your MDC subscriptions, you miss out on new threads like this. Oops. I'm Jess. My DW & I live in Washington state. We have a teenager & we're expecting twins in August. We, uh, like to space out our kids. We're into the whole "backyard farming" thing, so we spend time outside rain or shine. Although I am really slowing down, what with the twin pregnancy and everything. The kiddo has been picking up some of my slack, but this weekend he dug out a berry bush I'd been trying to get growing for three years and let the chickens have a destructive chicken party in my annual crop of leeks. So, that was interesting and fun.
Congrats Cananny!
what a sweet mothers day surprise! i just washed and vacuumed my wife's car.
I can't wait to see the wedding photos! you can have so many ringbearers!
Congratulations Cananny!!!! And, can I just say I love how organized and capable you sound with three newborns (I'm pretty sure you don't feel that way...but oh my gosh, you leave the house! You have a system!!! Amazing!!!!!)
AFM--apparently, we celebrate Mothers' day by having babies. DS(3) was born 4 weeks before Mothers' day and DW gave birth on Sunday! The birth was pretty difficult and there was a postpartum complication that involved the OR...so we didn't have our big boy come to the hospital until the next day (we asked the friend who had him for the weekend not to tell him that baby brother was here until the next day). Soooo, yesterday, our 3yo came to the hospital with our friend. He walked in, saw us and then turned right around and lay down in the doorway where he couldn't see baby or mommy! Clearly, he was overwhelmed and freaked out. So, I asked him if he would like to get a special treat from the hospital coffee shop. He said yes, and I took him downstairs (pointing out the "electric" doors and even letting him play in a play area downstairs for a little while) and let him pick out a GIANT chocolate "muffin" to take back up and eat in the room. Thrilled, he happily went back up and was finally willing to approach DW and sit next to her on the bed while he ate the muffin. We made sure to have our friend hold the baby so we could focus on our big boy. After he finished the chocolate muffin (it was huge, and it will be the first and last time he eats such a thing in a bed!) he asked to hold the baby. So our friend handed off the baby to me and I sat in the rocking chair with both boys in my lap (probably the best thing I've ever gotten to do). DS(3) was thrilled to hold the baby and was so loving and sweet (he kept trying to give the baby the little toy truck he had brought) if a bit terrifyingly huge next to the itty bitty. Our friend took DS home after a shortish visit and I told him that I would be picking him up later that day.
And...in a small stroke of brilliance, the 13 y/o boy who sometimes watched DS had him over on Saturday afternoon (for 5 hours) while DW labored and we met with our doula. Since DS was over at his house, the neighbor's little brother was there too and they got out ALL of their duplos to play with. DS asked me why they had SO many duplos and I told him that when you have a brother you need a LOT of duplos because you have someone to build tall, tall, towers with and two kids need a LOT of duplos. He earnestly looked up at me and said "I have two boys?!" I said, "yes we will have two boys, and we will need to get more duplos!" So, when I picked him up from our friends I asked him if he wanted to go to the store to pick out some more duplos since we have two boys now! It was a resounding "yes!". I DID remind him that baby wouldn't be able to help play with the duplos for awhile and that DS could build things to show the baby.
I know that there will be major parenting challenges ahead as DS deals with having a baby brother...but I am SO happy with how the first introduction went and really proud of how we managed to approach it.

She's here!
And so are the boys!
Congrats to Cannany and Wishin'!!!!!! Glad the introduction went well with your little ones, Wishin'. I had several siblings and can say that it was always wonderful. You may just luck out and have less challenges than you think with that. Not saying I never argued with my brother, but it was rare, and we were/are bffs. He is two and half years older than me. It's a great age difference. I also have a sister 6 years younger than me and little brothers 12 and 14 years younger than me. We've all always gotten along very well. I do think that 2-3 years age difference is ideal in some ways, just because my childhood was so wonderful thanks to my brother.

And congrats, cananny! That is so exciting! And romantic! :-)
We had a sweet mothers day. My partners mom is in town, and we had a brunch with both our moms and some close friends. Unfortunately we are all sick. Wylie has his first cold, and we all (me, DP, DPs mom) followed suit. It is an ass-kicking cold. Nights have been tough as baby can't sleep lying flat, so we are back to the trusted Rock n play, which means that every time he wakes up we have to bounce him back to sleep instead of nursing. Ugh. Poor little guy had a fever, cough, stuffed up runny nose, the works. Breaks my heart.
Congrats Wishin'!! I got a little teary eyed reading your description of their first meeting. So beautiful!
Gumshoe: It's great to hear from you! How are you all doing? Are you thinking about having any more kids?
MrsandMrs: What are you growing in your backyard these days? What animals do you have besides chickens? How is your teenager feeling these days about the babies?
Coco: I always like hearing stories like yours about adult siblings who are 2-3 years apart and who are good friends. We hope that gap ends up working out for our son and the new little one!
Planet: I'm sorry you all are sick. I hope that you feel better and get some more sleep soon!
AFM: Like several of you, we're in the process of searching for a new place to live. We need some more space, but it's fairly discouraging to see what is available in our price range in the neighborhoods we like. I did write a charm like some of you suggested, so hopefully it works soon!
Just passing through to ask a question--So little PB has been nursing MOST of the day and was latched for hours last night, currently I am letting him use a soothie pacifier because my wife NEEDS to sleep for an hour (he is in arms because he insists on being held--which is fine for now). He sucked a few times and then fell asleep-his suck needs seem unsustainable (DW has slept four hours total in the past 36 hours that we've been home). We were adamant about not using a pacifier with our firstborn--so I am freaked out about doing this--but this guy screams unless he is worn while walking OR sucking on something (we were letting him suck on our fingers prior to today). Any other AP sorts introduce a pacifier this early and breastfeed successfully?

ETA: I re-read and saw that he's cool with being worn. If you take both boys to the park, that may be just the rest she needs and a nice bonding time for you and the brothers.
Seraf--thank goodness for babywearing. I think that babywearing may be how we get through this...I even managed to take both boys to the neighborhood coffee shop this morning (we were gone an hour) and get coffee for me and hot chocolate for the big boy (of course I stood next to the table big boy had chosen rocking back and forth!). And...sort of related, I LOVE our infant/standard kinderpack--DS2 fits perfectly froggied up in it and, with the hood up and straps snug, no one can see/touch/breathe on him. DS2 prefers to be froggied at all times--so froggied in the carrier seems to keep him pretty happy. The other life saver has been setting up playdates for the big boy--today a neighbor boy (his favorite babysitter) had him over to hang out with his family from 4:30 to 5:30 (wooo-hooo, I evaded the witching hour!) and I managed to clean some (unpack the hospital bags) AND make dinner!
