Can anyone suggest a set of "commandments" to make everyone operate efficiently during a development project? I am looking for commandments on how Dev and QA and Management should interact. If you lookup Agile or Scrum development models they can explain peoples roles and how things work but it doesn't define a set of bylaws that protect peoples roles from each other.
Micromanagement shouldn't need to occur when rules work properly. QA should have all information they need to test and managment should define what a successful test is. Etc.

After watching the Patriots face off Thursday Night againt the St. Louis Rams at Gillette Stadium, I felt very disappointed by the team. On both offense and defense I thought the Patriots were embarrassing at times, and while the Patriots lost 36 – 35, don't let the score fool you. It wasn't that close.
The third pre-season game is usually the dress rehearsal for the opening game. Good teams usually beat up on bad teams, and it should have been a great opportunity to exploit a team that won just one game all last season. The worst part was that the Rams were even starting a rookie quarterback, with Sam Bradford starting in place of the injured A.J. Feeley. This should have given them an opportunity to frustrate the rookie QB and potentially have a big night, and hopefully build on what they did the last couple of weeks.
Instead the opposite happened, and the Patriots defense made him look like Peyton Manning. To make matters worse the Rams kept the ball out of the hands of New England's offense in the first half, and when they did have it they could barely move the chains and sustain a drive.Â
When each team's starters played against each other, the Rams won that battle and dominated the Pats in yardage, and time of possession. I didn't recognize the Patriots team I saw Thursday night, and they certainly didn't look like the one we watched in the previous two contests.
The Rams had no problem with the Patriots' first defense, and were able to run the ball and pass with ease. They also allowed Bradford to finish the first half 15-of-22 for 189 yards and gave up two touchdowns passes.
On offense, the Patriots really had a tough time moving the ball against the Rams' first team defense. They gained just 14 yards during their first two possessions, and they really didn't get things going until the second half.
One bright spot on the night was on special teams with wide receiver Brandon Tate, who ran the opening kick back for a touchdown. Following that play I was feeling pretty positive, and looking forward to what I thought would be a pretty good night.
Unfortunately it didn't take long for that feeling to change. It was only a pre-season game and I understand that, but I was really hoping to see what I had witnessed in the first two games. Instead the Pats took a step back, and hopefully they can learn from their mistakes.
Just like I did last week, after each game I've gone back and looked at my "reasons to watch" article to see if they shed any light on the game. As a result, below is an analysis of my " five reasons to watch the Patriots pre-season game against the Rams".  Â
1. Will the offensive line continue to protect Tom Brady? In the first half I thought the offensive line struggled somewhat to protect Tom Brady. He was under decent pressure in the first half. It wasn't terrible, but the line was definitely better in the first two games. Also, there was not much room for the running backs to make yards.Â
2. Who will emerge as the third receiver for the Pats? Brandon Tate I thought played very well. He only caught two balls, but got himself open. I definitely am encouraged by this young receiver. Julian Edelman did not play in this game.
At this point both receivers could still be the third option. I am actually not worried about this position anymore. Between Edelman and Tate I think one of them will emerge during the season.Â
3. Will the young secondary continue to show signs that they will be able to cover and hit? The young secondary took a step back in this game. The Rams receivers were open often. Devin McCourty I thought had a tough game.
They could not stop the Rams tight end Michael Hoomanawanui. He caught two touchdown passes and had four receptions.
I am hoping the young defensive backs will learn from this experience. This unit is green and going to make mistakes. I am still hopeful that this unit will be a positive for the Patriots this season.Â
4. Will the Pats defense be able to put pressure on the quarterback? The Patriots defense failed miserably in getting a pass rush on Sam Bradford. He had all the time in the world to throw the ball. His passer rating was 125.
Tully Banta – Cain I thought was a bright spot at times getting pressure on the quarterback. The problem was he did not have much support from any other member of the front seven. Derrick Burgess to me has been invisible in two games. The Patriots are going to need more out of him this season. Â
I am hoping that a lack of pass rush does not kill the Patriots this season. This could be a concern again throughout the year. Â
 5. Can punter Zoltan Mesko dramatically change field position with his punts? Zoltan Mesko did not have a very good game punting. His average was 37.2 yards in 5 punts. That is not good at all. The Pats will need him to be much better during the regular season. He still has a chance to be a weapon.
This analysis might be harsh, but I think the Patriots deserve it. They played so well in the first two games. It was just disappointing to see them take a step backwards in the third game.
I hope this game is forgotten in two weeks, and we will see the team that played in the first two pre-season games. I still see this team winning the division. Let's just hope the pre-season game against the Rams was just a good learning experience, and the Patriots will move forward once again.

Terrence McNally's CORPUS CHRISTI Featured in New Documentary Coming to DVD
What if Jesus was gay? Breaking Glass Pictures will be releasing Corpus Christi: Playing with Redemption, a feature documentary focusing on Terrence McNally's controversial off-Broadway play "Corpus Christi," which imagines Jesus as a gay man living in Corpus Christi, Texas. The documentary follows the troupe, Terrence, and audience around the world on a 5-year journey, where voices of protest and support collide on one of the central issues facing the LGBT community: religion.
The play originally opened at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 1998 to intense protest and bomb threats. Terrence McNally is a four-time Tony Award winning playwright, famous for Broadway hits Ragtime, Master Class, and Love! Valour! Compassion!
"Playing with Redemption and the I AM Love Campaign add a new dimension to the conversation that my play continues to provoke, and I look forward to CORPUS CHRISTI starting many more conversations around the country." - Terrence McNally
Breaking Glass Pictures will release the documentary on DVD and VOD (iTunes, Comcast, Vubiquity) on October 14, 2014.

Woodleigh Bullets 30-06 Springfield (308 Diameter) 240 Grain Weldcore Protected Point Box of 50
- Information
- Videos
Woodleigh Protected Point bullets are Australian made hunting bullets with a reputation for quality and performance on all types of game. All Woodleigh bullets are field tested on a variety of game ranging from goats to elephants. Woodleigh's protected point are a premium conventional controlled expansion bullet that gains its toughness through core bonding. Protected Pointbullets feature a soft lead core with six internal grooves that allow for reliable expansion. The nose of the bullet is more of a spire point than a round nose and a minimal amount of lead is shown which protects the nose of the bullet from deformation under recoil in the magazine of bolt action rifles. The Protected Point bullet has been tested on a variety of game of all sizes and each time it produces consistent and devastating results. Weldcore jackets are made from 90/10 gilding metal (90% copper: 10% zinc) 1.6mm thick. All jackets are made by deep drawing through several processes and are specifically profiled internally for optimum jacket wall taper. This gives them the feature of reliable controlled expansion at various impact velocities. Maximum retained weight is obtained by fusing the pure lead to the gilding metal jacket. This minimizes fragmentation of the nose section as it mushrooms, so that deep penetration for rapid and humane killing of tough animals is obtained. This is not loaded ammunition.
Note: For ultimate bullet expansion and results, it is recommended that this bullet be fired in a load with an impact velocity no greater than 2400 fps and no less than 1900 fps.

Comment posted Scotttish Government statement following death of Ali Al-Megrahi by Ken MacColl.
The reaction from Joanne Lamont to the news of Megrahi's death was predictably following the official Labour Party line but must have caused grave offence to many decent Labour supporters.We may wonder on what authority she feels able to speak on behalf of Scotland on this or any other issue. Could it be that the vision of A L Blair embracing the mad Colonel and the "dirty deal in the desert" influenced her judgement? When will the details of this particular deal come to light?
Ken MacColl also commented
- The list of signatories to the Megrahi letter is certainly wideranging……
Wait a minute though! If Teddy Taylor really has signed this letter I can just see our anonymous blogger from Islay demanding that he be stripped of his enoblement, deprived of his knighthood -if he has one- and drummed out of the ranks of the Conservative and Unionist Club in distant Southend never more to darken its portals.
- You are right, of course; and you did.
Personally I could not care a hoot when my remarks get the "zero Neroes" but I wonder at the mentalilty of those who dislke simple and sincere statements of fact.
I was reading about the Vincennes incident only earlier today and contrasting the reaction of our American cousins to that particular disaster.Although the commanding officer of the Vincennes had mistaken a civilian aircraft for a military craft and was responsible for many civilian deaths he was feted as a hero and promoted when he got home.
There is a heavy body of informed opinion that the Lockerbie bomb was retaliation for that disaster and that the source had nothing to do with Libya but was probably from Iran.
David Cameron seems determined to block any enquiry. We may wonder whose back he is protecting?
- I shake my head in wonder that any of your readers can summon up a "dislike" thumbs down at such a life affirming and accurate remark.
Recent comments by Ken MacColl
- Alex due another delicious spanking from Nicola
How sad to see that what started some years ago as an informative and sometimes challenging website has descended to this juvenile level of political commentary.
Carries a distinct whiff of the Daily Mail.
Certainly has no connection to the late and great Spike Milligan.
"For Argyll?" In your dreams!
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
I met a colleague in Oban this morning who advised me that the SNP had won three by elections on Thursday of this week. I knew that those contests were being held but had heard nothing in the morning news bulletins so I asked him where he had the information from.
"Oh" he replied, " I have not yet confirmed the news but I knew that as BBC Scotland had not announced the results or even put them on their website they could only be positive for the nationalists."
And so it proved, with substantial wins in Buckie, Glenrothes and Armadale.
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
Just for the record, Plugit, Alex is of average height and he has an Honours degree in History.
Apart from that I imagine the rest of your comment is accurate.
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
Never got to Vienna, Graeme, although I get the impression that there is a capital much closer to us that still carries delusions of empirical superiority exemplified by the idea that we are better together but we should not get notions above our station.
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
This odd "wheel of (mis) Fortune" appeared first in the columns of the March Scots Independent late in February but attracted little attention at the time from our Unionist Press although it was also published in The National. News seems to come late to some parts of Argyll!
The wheel and its recommendations come from ScotLab activist Robert MacNeil from Tranent in East Lothian, billed as an office bearer in his local branch and of East Lothian CA and advisor to Scottish Labour. His particular reading suggests that in Argyll & Bute the most effective challenger to the SNP was the Tory candidate and you can deduce some of his other assessments from their placement on the wheel. Both Alan Reid and Mary Galraith's chances were dismissed out of hand! The predictions were quickly rubbished by his own party colleagues and indeed Mr MacNeil's standing within his party was also denied.
Can it be that an element of panic is emerging?

Rated 4 out of 5 by GeordieBG Westin Ottawa Improved wi-fi appreciated as this was a persistent problem in the past. Initial room I was given 14th floor had a strong chemical smell and staff did accommodate a change. January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RARAH Hotel had everything Perfect place to stay for sport events January 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Colaroad2014 The Westin on Colonel By Drive We were met by a very helpful doorman. First impressions are always imperative. That immediately started our stay on a great note. We stayed only for one night but will definitely return to this location when we are back in town. January 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Skater65 Great rooms but Wifi should be free. This is a standard feature now. Beds, sheets, cleanliness are excellent. The bar area has great ambience. Wish there was a more informal dining setting for the evening though. Being charged the huge rate for Wifi is really out of line in terms of what is being offered by equivalent hotels. Wifi should be free in this day and age. Would make me reconsider next time. January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jennp80 Short but great stay I have stayed at this hotel several times and have been very happy every time. I've also held large events at the hotel. Staff in the event and catering services are top notch. Check in was a breeze with great customer service! Will stay again and again. January 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alexandra1223 Good hotel for a special night out I live in Ottawa, but spending a night at the Westin always makes me feel like I'm on vacation. The bed is always comfortable and the room feels luxurious. The location is awesome, too. The only downside I would say about this particular visit is the cleaning staff was maybe a bit too eager to clean the rooms in the morning as I had to listen to them knock on doors and say 'room service' loudly over and over again. I understand they want to do their job, but when you're trying to sleep in and relax, it's a bit mood-killing. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bryden28 Great Location and Excellent Staff My wife and I stayed at the Westin Ottawa for our 5th wedding anniversary. From check-in to check-out we had an excellent time. As an SPG Gold member, we were put on the 17th floor in an "upgraded" room which was basically a refurbished room with a beautiful view overlooking the parliament buildings. The hotel also sent up a complimentary snack and sparkling water package to us (not sure if it was because of our anniversary or because I'm a gold member or both - but either way it was a nice touch). The hotel has a new new elevator system where you are required to key in your floor number outside the elevator (there are no floor buttons inside the elevator). It was interesting and seemed to speed things up a bit - although it caused confusion for people that didn't realize what was going on and they had to ride it out to our floor. While we loved the room, there were a couple of VERY small things that were slightly unfortunate (mind you my wife and I are both very picky). The newly renovated rooms seem to only have a large shower, but no tub. My wife loves the bath products at the Westin and enjoys taking baths. I'm guessing we could have asked and been moved to a room with a tub, but we were in a rush to make a reservation - so it was likely our own fault. Another minor pain point was the coffee supplies in the room. It's likely a corporate policy, but they only gave us one milk and sugar kit (I'm not sure why they do this - I've had it happen at other Westin's as well). I never realize until I want my coffee in the morning and then there's a shortage of cream and sugar in the room and have to wait for someone to deliver it. It would seem so much easier to have 2 or even 3 extra kits in a drawer close to the coffee maker. Real milk/creamers in the fridge (instead of the chemical ones) would also be a nice small touch. While at the hotel, we also had great dining experiences. We had delicious cocktails at the "Shore Club". I thought were reasonably priced for a high-end in hotel restaurant. We also had an outstanding breakfast at Daly's. My wife and I had breakfast the last time we stayed at this location (and because she liked it so much the last time, she insisted we go again). Yet again it did not disappoint. All in all, we had a great anniversary and look forward to future stays here. That said, i will make sure to request a room with a tub and extra coffee supplies prior to checking in. December 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by AndrewBrooklyn Great location, friendly staff and...nothing more I was a little bit disappointed. I was thinking that this hotel will be better. Of course location is great, and staff was friendly but...breakfast was horrible, and internet really slow. December 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mike84 Room I had reserved a King-sized bed, but was given a double bed. Given my time of arrival close to midnight, I did not bother trying to switch rooms. But I did mention it to the front desk in the morning, and got nothing more than a simple apology when I would have expected a little something more. Overall, the hotel is very nicel and this was my second time staying there within a month. December 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Georgie5 Very poor service in an official language There is so little capacity of service in French in this hotel that even my review is not accepted in the French part of this Internet link. The Westin is one of the most prestigious hotels in Ottawa, capital of a bilingual country. Only the reservation process (by phone) was truly competent and amicable in French. Checking-in was difficult (I got a wrong information about the restaurant) and checking-out was quite simply arrogant. The concierge (with a French name!) sent a welcoming message in English only, and the email billing did the same. Moreover when I asked for the room to be cleaned, by midday, someone came in and simply emptied the trash can, without touching any equipment in the bathroom. The Westin being practically full at all times, I guess they do not need to really care for their guests who are expected to adapt to the service, and not the other way around. December 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HMMmm1 This hotel was excellent This hotel was excellent, December 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Computercharges0 Business Centre I travel throughout Canada extensively and stay at numerous hotels per year. I thought I would give this hotel a try as I have eaten at the shoreclub numerous times. The Ottawa Weston met my expectations HOWEVER I was taken aback when I went to use the business centre and there is a 7.00 per 15 minute fee to use the computer! Really not expected from such a nice caliber hotel. The principle of it makes no sense. Does Westin need 7.00 that badly?That policy should be changed immediately. December 13, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by RRPS disappointing Well, I stayed at this hotel back in the summer and had a nice experience. Everything was fine except the elevators (which has been mentioned several times by previous posters). Fast forward to last month --- attempting to book a function here. NIGHTMARE! Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Staff member was rude, and could barely be bothered to give me the time of day. She just gave me the run around and I was lied to by a staff member. They made booking with them such a painful experience, I ended up taking my business elsewhere. When I called to discuss my concerns, I left messages and no one could even be bothered to call me back. Extremely disappointed and won't be keen to give them any of my business anytime soon. December 9, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Teniel5 Not helpful at all The reception staff including the manager was not wanting to help us at all. We had booked a king size room for the first night, and apparently was to be upgraded the second night, to 2 double bed and a smaller washroom. Yes I said upgrade, not sure to whom that is upgrading, but not to me. They told us the hotel was booked full, and then we find out the next day, that a bunch of our friends got king size rooms (and they all booked in a day after us) and some even got "upgraded" by the front staff to empty suites... And they told me their was nothing left.. Let's say I'm not sure that I will be staying there next year on our yearly weekend away from our 3 kids. Not impressed at all. December 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Weekendstay1 Required repeated requests for basic service Requested a room with a king bed which was booked well in advance. Received a room with two double beds. It took 3 calls over 1 hour to the front desk in order to hear back from the manager who arranged for us to be moved. An explanation was offered that said that they had over-booked. I know that overbooking is not acceptable for airlines....OK for hotels?? After waiting a further 30 minutes, we had to call again to the desk as no one had been assigned to come to our room to bring us new keys and show us our new room. Rooms are nice. There are no other complaints other than that there is no convenient parking for such a large hotel. December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fanny942 Everything is perfect about this hotel starting from the beginning: - loved the underground parking that is adjacent to the Rideu Centre -super helpful front desk - paid a small price for for an upgraded room, but WOW - what an amazing view of the parliament building and the Christmas lights (highly recommend) - cool high tech elevators - wonderful bed as always, but love the touches in the recently remodeled room (lit closet rail, nice lamps, big modern bathroom) - nice pool with sauna - great proximity to arts centre, Byward Market, shopping centre - lot of Christmas parties at the hotel made things festive - helpful staff were the best part! I WILL BE BACK December 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPaw Great Location Great Location in Ottawa. Banquet staff very professional and easy to work with. Heavenly beds are extremely comfortable. December 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by GeordieBG Wi-Fi I have this experience frequently when staying at the Westin Ottawa. The room wi-fi reception is atrocious. This is the same with various cell phones and computers - the signal is "fair", but mostly "poor" and downloading is at a snail's pace. The Westin Novascotian is Halifax is better but not great. However, Ottawa is appalling. As an SPG Member I receiver "complimentary" wi-fi, but this bonus is essentially meaningless given the connection speed. December 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MsLLM Nice hotel, could use more SPG The handful of times I have stayed at this hotel have always been very pleasant. Rooms are cozy and spacious. Lobby is inviting. The only suggestion I have would be complimentary in-room wi-fi for SPG members, otherwise SPG is not that special beyond collecting points. December 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Leslie12 Ideally located, excellent hotel The Westin Ottawa is ideally located, connected to shopping and minutes away from major attractions. Staff and service are absolutely exceptional. Recently renovated rooms are pristine, with splendid views. November 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by zsolt1321 Check-in time With advance reservation staff was unable to locate room till 9pm on arrival day. Several other guest were moved to other hotels while I waited in lobby. Charged for internet that I did not request. Poor, poor service. November 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by YanaJ Great hotel Well priced, nice amenities, great location, overall wonderful experience November 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tony33 Best hotel ever! I cannot get over the level of service we received at this hotel. Staff was so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere they create by being so friendly is contagious. Special thanks to the concierge team for recommending family friendly attractions. (we went to all of them) A great thank you to Noel Steele for taking the time to draw out a map to the perfect place to view the Santa Claus parade! You sir, made our day! This is the only hotel we will ever stay at in Ottawa.....!! November 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Medical23 Conference and banquet facilities - did not meet expectations food provided at our meeting venue did not meet expectations - not enough servers, ran out of food (soup, salad) difficult to find anyone to take responsibility - server simply shrugged. November 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Torger Great Staff Your hotel should become a school to teach staff on how to threat customers. To a person, they all went out of the way to make our stay most enjoyable. Special thanks to Marissa (sp) in the Daley Express November 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wallace44 Excellent Hotel A first-class hotel: excellent service, great facilities and a remarkable location. November 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by roseyred63 personable I was in town for business and decided to spend a couple of extra days at the hotel to celebrate a milestone birthday. It was a surprise when I returned to my room, after an afternoon out, to find a birthday tray with sweets and a sparkling water, along with staff wishes. What a wonderful way to end the day! November 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Halifax49 Ottawa weekend Room is beautifully furnished, but not large for a "premium room". Check-in was slow, with only one clerk. Confusion about whether we were on "green" (no maid service) - they came anyway. Shower drain ran slowly. Banquet was excellent. Pricing policy for internet and telephone is irritating- it just caused mild inconvenience as I used my wireless service and avoided the hotel's system. I was left with a feeling that I was there to be fleeced. Please - I ask my favorite hotel to rethink this pricing model and be more competitive. November 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yan2012 I would recommend this hotel Excellent hotel, services, and location. November 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mitchl This hotel is very comfortable This hotel is very clean and comfortable. Lobby and rooms are the best i have seen. November 8, 2013

For me, grandparenthood has been a crash course in letting go of any and all expectations about my role. Four years ago, my son and daughter-in-law moved from Europe to Washington, D.C., where my husband and I live, to be near us when their first baby was born. Needless to say, I was in heaven.
Heaven lasted exactly two months. That's how old Isabelle was when my son's photography career took him and his wife back to Europe. And they kidnapped the baby and took her with them!
I was devastated, but I dealt. I visited as often as I could — more often than the other two sets of grandparents, who live in California. Secretly, I was glad that my son and his wife were equal-opportunity heartbreakers, and that none of the other grandparents got to see Isabelle and Azalia, her baby sister, more than me. If anything, I had the edge.
Until this past summer, when my daughter-in-law's father died suddenly and my son and his family decided to stay in California. My higher self was happy for the maternal grandmother, who had just lost her husband. However, my lower self was thrown into a panic. I worried that, out of sight and out of mind, I would become a mere footnote in the girls' lives.
But now my son's work is taking them back to Europe again, and I have given up stressing about any of it or trying to predict what will happen next.
Two things are clear: First, I have no say in their decisions (even though I have opinions). Second, since my only child has grown up to be a roving citizen of the world, I am destined to be a long-distance grandparent.
As tragic as this seemed to me a few years ago, I have made my peace with the situation. There are even some pluses that I never imagined back when my son and his family left Washington and broke my heart.
Five Silver Linings
1. No guilt. If I'm not around to be asked to babysit at the last minute, I can't say no when I have a conflict — or when I'm simply too tired and would prefer stay home and read a book.
2. No blame. How can my son or daughter-in-law possibly be annoyed at me for being unavailable to help out, or for hovering, intruding, or sticking my nose where they think it doesn't belong?
3. The grandchildren never take me for granted. They are primed for my visits, which are something of an event. I come bearing gifts. I take them on special outings. I play with them until I'm so exhausted I can't see straight or remember my name.
4. Their parents never take me for granted either. They are so thrilled to see me, especially when there are no other grandparents around to provide backup, that they practically run out the door when I arrive and leave the kids with me. I take care of them until I'm so exhausted I can't see straight or remember my name.
5. My life is more in balance. Having some distance keeps me from being consumed — and subsequently derailed — by the day-to-day stresses, disappointments, frustrations, and, alas, joys felt by my son and daughter-in-law as they grapple with raising two young daughters in our complicated world. I have my own life, husband, career, friends. This allows me to enjoy concentrated time with the grandkids and their parents without becoming too dependent on them emotionally or blurring boundaries that are best kept well-defined.
So, you may ask, if being a long-distance grandparent is so great, what would I do if my son announced that he was moving his family back to Washington tomorrow? Would I want to risk the guilt, blame, exhaustion, feelings of being taken for granted, and mushy boundaries that would no doubt result from having them nearby?
In a New York minute.
Barbara Graham, a Grandparents.com columnist, is the editor of the anthology, Eye of My Heart: 27 Writers Reveal the Hidden Pleasures and Perils of Being a Grandmother (Harper), which tells "the whole crazy, complicated truth about being a grandmother in today's world."
I especially like paragraph #5 about not being involved in the everyday drama of our adult children's life. This article about son/daughter in law in the opposite for me my daughter and her constant complaints about her husband. This is one of the best reasons to leave town. I have been the Nanny for the last 9 years to my grandson and then granddaughter and the drama of my daughter has been emotionally stressful I was living her life not my own. My husband and I are moving to Florida in 3 months and I can't wait to start the adventure and not being responsible for another family's day to day life.
I think I have read this already, couple years ago, I would like all creative tips about how to stay in touch, talk, share, be involved being long distance Grandmother. I especially sympathize with the person who is 12 hours away.
Thanks for these words of wisdom. I have been searching the internet for advice about how to deal with the sudden move of my daughter and her family. Mostly, what I have found, are heart-wrenching letters from other grandmothers who are suffering the same fate. I've never quite understood what comfort there is in finding out you are not alone in your grief. I have lived long enough to know that I will eventually adjust to not having my daughter and grandchildren nearby, but right now it is almost unbearable. You silver linings make sense.
I am a long distance grandmother-I am single and my ex husband is the grandfather who lives near my granddaughter. She has him as the only close grandparent.
I see my granddaughter 3 x a year and now that I've been laid off of work, and am back to work, starting all over with vacation at the bottom, will not see her at all this year.
I am working on accepting the fact that she is not a part of my life so much anymore-even though I wish it was different. Her mother cannot afford to come home, and the truth is, I am glad I am not babysitting like the grandfather, I am physically not capable.
But I will say, I regret that families are not together like they once were in the past. There are so many benefits to being a family and parents, grandparents and children growing up together and helping one another. This is what family is for and why we rely on each other-it's normal.
So no, I do not like being away from my granddaughter and I am missing the important parts of her life. I will not be a part of her life so I've accepted it...but what I do not like, is that I tend to push her and my daugher out of my mind and think little of them on a daily basis because it's easier. They are 12 hours away and don't call all that much either, I do not see them unless I fly down there to see them, so I prefer to forget them to cope with the loss. I am now unable to take time off and can't afford to either...this is what many grandparents face, and I am accepting it although I hate it.
How well do you get along with your grandchild and other family members? Want to know if your personalities mesh?Find out here.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
Private security is one of this country's biggest growth industries, bringing in billions of dollars every year and ranking as one of the fastest growing sectors in the global economy. In the last decade it accounted for the largest number of new jobs; it has grown so fast that security officers now outnumber police officers 3 to 1.

Children Running Through
Released: Feb 2007
Label: Ato Records
For a decade, Patty Griffin's prodigious voice and incisive songcraft traveled through an array of musical styles. First, there was busker-Patty playing bygone acoustic folk. Then rocker-Patty, who was married to power chords and massive guitars. And after that, mellow-Patty, who favored barren instrumentation punctuated by her crystal clear vocals. Children contains all these Pattys -- from the stark "You'll Remember" to the funky "Stay on the Ride." Griffin's spiritual sister, Emmylou Harris, joins her on the spare and haunting "Trapeze," a career highlight.

Indians manager looking to improve at first and third next year
Sep 9, 2011, 7:47 PM EDT
The Indians recalled Matt LaPorta from Triple-A Columbus today, but it sounds like this could be his last chance to impress the brass in Cleveland.
Talking to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian, manager Manny Acta said he needs better production from the infield corners next season:
"First and third base are positions where we should be looking into improving for next year, whether that's within or from the outside."
He's absolutely right, of course. Indians first basemen are 12th in the AL with a .748 OPS this year, while the team's third basemen are 10th at .675.
The hope was that Lonnie Chisenhall would be an offensive upgrade from Jack Hannahan after getting the call to take over at the hot corner at the end of June, but the 22-year-old has hit just .226/.260/.377 in 146 at-bats to date, suggesting that he might need a little more Triple-A time next year.
The 26-year-old LaPorta has been a disappointment yet again, hitting .238/.289/.404 in 319 at-bats, and is likely running out of chances. The Indians have gotten solid play from Carlos Santana at first base, but the team doesn't want to commit to him there just yet. It sounds like he'll continue to get the majority of his starts at catcher again next season.
The Indians probably won't want to spend a lot of money to address either position this winter, but they could go hunting for cheap veterans to hold down the fort. Former Indians Casey Blake and Mark DeRosa could be couple of inexpensive possibilities.
- bigleagues - Sep 9, 2011 at 8:09 PM
Yeah, my Matt LaPorta experiment is over as well. Of course, I'll go long on the likes of Goldschmidt, Rizzo or Smoak and LaPorta will proceed to have that "break-out season".
I saw him have a lot of bad At Bats this year though, and I'm not sure he's ever gonna make the adjustments.
- proudlycanadian - Sep 9, 2011 at 8:27 PM
Do they have a good second baseman who could be traded? The Jays have a spare first baseman who led the PCL in hitting.
- contraryguy - Sep 9, 2011 at 8:41 PM
So they raid the Clippers roster from the last 2 years and suddenly they realize some guys aren't up for it yet? The Chis callup suprised me, Lonnie's a decent minor leaguer at best. They have to realize that not all of these guys are going to be Carlos Santana. And after trading White and Pomerantz, the cupboard's bare. Time for a trade.
- contraryguy - Sep 9, 2011 at 8:53 PM
as for the 2B question, Jason Donald would be the guy. He's solid but like the others, AAA+ at best.

This post office mailbox has been the home for the mail of the Crawford County Genealogy Society for 40 years.
- Filed Under
Forty years and our home is a post office box. The Crawford County Genealogy Society has never had a physical home.
The group will receive recognition at the Ohio Genealogical Society Conference in April. The fledgling group of 15 members received a charter in May 1974. They quickly grew to 200 and peaked at 500 members. There currently are about 300 members - more per capita than any other Ohio county. Our chapter has been so successful for one reason: terrific volunteers. Some volunteers gave 1,000 hours each year and drove thousands of miles. We have won many awards from the Ohio Genealogy ...

Monkey pull lever, monkey get what?
Many years ago, I used to play a game on my elderly Mac called "Enigma", by Freeverse. Not the modern Oxyd clone, but a version of Mastermind, where you had to deduce a pattern of colored dots given a certain number of hints. You put in your guess and pulled a lever; the game would taunt you, make weird comments, or throw a monkey wrench into things and screw up your guesses. The premise of the game was that you were solving the puzzles in order to open a golden briefcase. I never did manage to get the briefcase open--can anyone tell me what was inside? [more inside]
Looking for a nonviolent, relaxing, top-down building game with a plot
I liked Sim City, Age of Empires, and Civ, but I don't feel like fighting or freaking out about taxes or earthquakes. Click-management puzzle games and sandboxes are just boring. Glitch was awesome-- nonviolent, open-ended, good graphics-- except it wasn't really a top-down building game and I don't care about involving friends. Katamari Damacy was great, but too fast-paced and again, not a building game. What game am I looking for? Preferably for a PC; can't do zombies or apocalypse as a theme, very light cartoon violence might be OK, don't care what era it's from. Puzzles or video board games might be OK if they have complexity beyond the actual game. I'm aware that this might be too specific; looking for suggestions even if they aren't a perfect fit.

Hey ewing! Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. I really like the pear thumbnail, but maybe you might want to use the blur tool to get rid of the stippling, since I can still see the circle brush you used.
Keep up the studies!

Your gestures look really natural, you appear to capture the movement of the subject pretty acurately which is good.
You should read up on your faces (try Loomis) there's some parts of the face that you don't quite grasp yet.

Hi there!
With this one, I realized you would benefit greatly from a softer pencil. 4B is good. Just something to add darkness; depth. Even adding a very minimal touch of dark tone will take a drawing to a whole new level.
Dark tones = depth
