Feeding Bottle Calves
We've got three bottle calves at the barn right now. I think word has gotten around that we're serving warm vanilla steamers every hour on the hour or something.
When you first arrive in the pen to feed the calves, they circle around you, bump you in the legs or hips or bottom (depending on your height as it relates to the calf), and start sucking on your jacket.
Then you get the nipple in their mouth and they suck it down like there's no tomorrow.
My baby has learned to hold the bottle this way, and not the other way he used to hold it, which was with the bottom of the bottle braced against his belly. He learned the hard way that calves often bump their mamas as part of the natural process of keeping the milk going…and that they do this whether it's a cow or bottle they're sucking.
He only had to get the wind knocked out of him once to change his feeding position.
Oh, the babies love their bottles.
Hurry! Get it in her mouth before she eats your arm!
And now, I'm going to tell you something that may disturb you, and here's what it is: Bottle feeding calves really does satisfy something deep within a woman's childbearing soul. Not that the same chemicals are released that would be released if a mother physically nursed her human infant…but something is still satisfied, nonetheless. I found this out the other day when one of my children suggested to Marlboro Man that we get more of an automatic feeder—one that hangs on the fence. I experienced a visceral response, and I fought vigorously in opposition of it.
"No!" I protested. "I really need that special time with the calves!"
Then, after seeing the disturbed looks on their faces, I smiled and kind of chuckled, acting like I was maybe possibly kidding.
But I wasn't kidding at all.
And I'm still not kidding.
And tomorrow, I still won't be kidding either.
Feeding the calves is a family affair. I usually make the bottles, then we alternate who goes down to the pen. And since we just got one of our calves Friday and we haven't had a chance to pick up a third bottle yet, that means as soon as one of the calves finishes a bottle, we have to dart to the house, wash that bottle, make another bottle, and dart back to the pen before the calf that hasn't yet had his bottle sucks the boots right off of one of the kids' feet.
On a slightly unrelated note: The other day someone told me they referred to a calf's nursing saliva as "Calf's Meringue."
It might be awhile before I'm able to disassociate the two.
Topping my pies with whipped cream for now,
Pioneer Woman

Such sweet pictures. My father-in-law has a few cows and had to bottle feed a calf named Penny. We loved helping him out. After feeding her I remember being so glad that my babies didn't bang on me like that when they nursed. ouch!
Sandra Jackson On Monday, March 11 at 9:58 am
Oh, soooo sweet. Ree, tell us how Abigail is doing????
Nurse Frugal On Monday, March 11 at 1:06 pm
That's so sweet!!! I think you should continue to strongly oppose the automatic feeder…..definitely a no-go. I am curious too: how is Ms. Abigail?
LK On Tuesday, March 12 at 11:39 am
Is that lil' Abigail being fed by Ree's eldest, Ms. Alex?
Sarah B On Monday, March 11 at 9:35 am
Oh my! How adorable!
Diane in Cincinnati On Monday, March 11 at 9:36 am
I would love to do that!
Lori G On Monday, March 11 at 9:36 am
Calf's Meringue! Oh my goodness! If you've ever bottle fed a calf, once that picture is in your head, it's a hard one to remove! I think I'll stick to dark chocolate glazes for a while.
joyce On Monday, March 11 at 9:58 am
I'm with you Lori! While reading this post I fondly remembered all my days of bottle feeding on the farm and then I got to the calf meringue…Eww, no lemon meringue pie for me!
Liz S On Tuesday, March 12 at 2:46 am
Ny father, who grew up in the country, used to call meringue "calf slobber." Judging by the picture, I can see it. I still make meringue…
Lisa H On Monday, March 11 at 9:37 am
Loved this post. I have never bottle fed a calf, but it looks like a lot of fun. Taking care of babies of any kind, human, canine, feline, bovine…. sigh…. my motherly instincts go into overdrive at the very thought! Have a happy Monday!
Julie Luek On Monday, March 11 at 9:38 am
There might just be a market for calf bibs. I think you're safe with the maternal instincts as long as you don't start sneaking burping cloths down or find yourself humming lullabies to them. Sweet pictures.
Sherry On Monday, March 11 at 9:39 am
We have always, ALWAYS, called meringue "Calf Slobber". I've never heard it reversed that way though.
Kathy On Monday, March 11 at 9:52 am
Our family has always called meringue "calf slobbers" too! When I was little, I would always scrape it off…..my brothers would snatch it from me….because I was just a little leery of it.
Dana H. On Monday, March 11 at 9:53 am
Ha! Thats how my husband refers to it! Cracked me up the first he said it and then I thought about it and- yep thats what it looks like! I have fed amany calves in my day and loved it!
Leslie Grothe On Monday, March 11 at 9:54 am
My Dad still calls meringue "Calf Slobbers." I thought he was the only one!! Maybe it's an
Oklahoma thing?? Oh well, I still like meringue.
Susan D. On Monday, March 11 at 9:58 am
Growing up that's what I called it to. To this day I do not eat meringue. I'm 50+.
Stacy On Monday, March 11 at 10:58 am
I'm glad I read through the comments before I commented. This is exactly what I was going to say. My dad has always called them that. He has passed it on to my kids so we'll keep right on calling them that.
AnnaD On Monday, March 11 at 11:16 am
So glad I'm not alone in the "Calf Slobbers" world. That's what we call them, too. My husband is the one who scrapes off the meringue, and I'm the one who enjoys the "Calf Slobbers." It could definitely be an Okie thing!
Sassy On Monday, March 11 at 1:29 pm
We have always had "calf slobbers" in Missouri too! I'm 60 and have fed calves and eaten way too much "calf slobbers" on my pies!!!
Kayla On Monday, March 11 at 1:53 pm
Our family has always called meringue that, too! And we are from Texas! So maybe its just a Southern cattle rancher thing??
Laura in Texas On Monday, March 11 at 2:03 pm
Our family always called pie meringues calf slobbers like y'alls. We've had cattle for multiple generations so this has been around for awhile. Unlike some though, we love our calf slobbers on our pie. Look how happy those baby calves are, how could they possibly be wrong
Judith On Monday, March 11 at 3:15 pm
We called it Calf Slobber too! My mom had a time of it trying to teach my sister and I to be little ladies and not refer to it as such. "May I have a slice of chocolate cream pie without the calf slobber, please!"
Laura75 On Monday, March 11 at 3:20 pm
We have calf slobbers in SE Illinois too!
Shonda On Monday, March 11 at 8:07 pm
I see I'm not the only one who grew up w/ 'calf slobbers'!!! That's one memory from my childhood that I share w/ my kids – every time we have hot chocolate – it has to be topped w/ 'calf slobbers' aka whipped topping!!! It so grosses out my little city dwellers!
Kathy T On Tuesday, March 12 at 1:58 pm
My grandmother always called the meringue "cow slobber". Funny that so many others have heard the same thing.
Pat On Friday, March 15 at 8:51 pm
My dad ALWAYS referred to meringue as "calf slobber". It freaked me out when I was a kid and I'd always scrape the "calf slobber" off my slice of pie. I still think meringue topped pies are really pretty, but I always have to make myself eat the "calf slobber" if I'm a guest somewhere.
Staci K On Thursday, March 21 at 4:38 pm
I grew up on a dairy and we called meringue "calf slobber" as well. Good to know I'm not the only one!
Sara On Saturday, May 4 at 6:01 pm
I think it's a ranch thing – not regional. Hubby grew up on a farm/ranch in CO. Whipped topping = calf slobbers.
Mamabug On Monday, March 11 at 9:40 am
That's so sweet. Nothing like giving babies a bottle, whether human or animal!
Tracee On Monday, March 11 at 9:40 am
Bottle feeding baby calves is something wonderful to do. They have the sweetest little noses !
Melinda On Monday, March 11 at 9:41 am
I so want that job of feeding the calf!!
Sandy Pudoff On Monday, March 11 at 9:42 am
Babies are babies no matter what the species. No wait..that can't be right. Small rats are just big rats waiting for a growth spurt!
Bonnie M On Monday, March 11 at 9:43 am
The love with which you write, photograph, and cook is palpable, Ree! Your sense of humor is as yummy as your food!! Have a marvelous day! God's Great Blessings to You, Yours and Your Beloved Creatures, Great & Small. xoxo, ~Bon
Amy C On Monday, March 11 at 9:43 am
I think if I could bottle feed a calf, I may lose my phobia of cows.
Judith On Monday, March 11 at 9:44 am
Truly, one of the best memories I have of my childhood.
Reba88 On Monday, March 11 at 3:18 pm
Yep, for me, as well. The scent of the formula takes me back. One of the most comforting scents I know:).
Grandma Cindy On Monday, March 11 at 5:30 pm
Mine too. I Love this post! I love calves!
Michelle On Monday, March 11 at 9:45 am
Reminds me of when I was a little girl and we had a baby goat that needed to be bottle fed. We brought the little guy into the house to live with us, and we took turns feeding him. My sister would get down on all fours on the floor to play with him. He was such a sweet lil guy. <3
Hillarie On Monday, March 11 at 9:45 am
Whipped cream > meringue, anyway.
Donna On Monday, March 11 at 9:46 am
Precious babies….
Trudy Ledford On Monday, March 11 at 9:47 am
Love this!!! These photos are darling. I used to love the opportunity to be the calf's mama and give it a bottle when its real mama couldn't nurse it! I also loved letting them suck my hand. The power in their sucking was astounding. love, love baby calves (and baby anythings) and I totally get your feelings of satisfaction in giving the babies their bottles. I hope your wishes prevail about no automatic feeders. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful photos of farm life and kids! They're always wonderful and heartwarming. They keep the day sane and grounded, and also help me to realize that there's still an awful lot RIGHT in this gorgeous country of ours.
Juliana M. On Monday, March 11 at 9:47 am
Oh how I miss these days. My grandfather had a dairy farm. It kept us busy. I loved bottle feeding the new babies. They followed you around like little puppies.
Mary Ann Potter On Monday, March 11 at 9:47 am
That nurturing instinct takes over no matter what, doesn't it? What a beautiful post, Ree. I am in love with your cattle, whether they are the babies or the grown-ups. How is little Abigail doing these days? Love her little photo on the banner…
Brenda White On Monday, March 11 at 9:47 am
My daddy used to call meringue Calf Slobber. After that mental image I've never been able to eat meringue without mentally gagging. Yech….
Kathy On Monday, March 11 at 9:54 am
Ha Ha! My dad did virtually the same……….called meringue Cow Slobbers! Oh dear……now I have a visual to add to what my dad tortured me with as a squeamish, squealing teen………..
Jan W. On Monday, March 11 at 9:48 am
Such an awesome blog. I love animals. I grew up in the city and have never even touched a cow/calf. But once I met my man, I lived in the country, not a farm, but not in the city! And some neighborhood cat had kittens under one of our buildings. One runt was left…4 double paws and to this day I still say a little mentally disabled LOL. Plus around the same time, my son pulled another kitten from a dogs mouth at a friend's house. Now we had 2 4-wk old kittens that we bottle fed. It was the most amazing thing to me! Thanks for bringing back the memories!
Becky T. On Monday, March 11 at 9:48 am
Think I'll be using whipped cream for a while too.
EMTgirl On Monday, March 11 at 9:48 am
That used to be my job on my parent's farm! It was fun and hard to keep track of who was fed and who was just trying to get more. Brings back memories!
Linda Perkins On Monday, March 11 at 9:48 am
Oh how sweet. Growing up I had the opportunity to bottle feed lambs for a week when I was visiting my cousins who owned a sheep ranch at the time. They were so cute and could slurp through those bottles like maniacs. Great pictures too. I love that you did them in black and white. Thank you so much for sharing and giving us another awwwwww moment.
MaryAnne On Monday, March 11 at 9:50 am
Having grown up on 1/8 acre bottle feeding calves was a whole new experience for me too. I quickly learned about the butting- ouch. It was very rewarding to myself and the kiddos to watch the little calves grow. Lots of work and commitment which I feel was a valuable lesson for our children.
Denise Lamb On Monday, March 11 at 9:50 am
Looks like it would be a fun thing to do.
They looks so good.
Laura Kieser On Monday, March 11 at 9:51 am
This is exactly how our baby goat kids act as well. We are in the midst of kidding season, and have 17 kids on the ground so far from 6 does (momma's). We hand raise all of our kids. They get so in tuned to feeding time that the start a commotion once the barn door is open and we say "good morning kiddo's!" It's a lot of work, but it sure warms the heart!
annie wallace On Monday, March 11 at 9:51 am
What a great story – absolutely made my Monday morning…Thank you!
Jess On Monday, March 11 at 1:22 pm
All of the stories are so cute- love this!
Betsy On Monday, March 11 at 9:51 am
Are these calves orphans, twins, or abandon?
We tried to avoid bottle feeding our calves, trying to get the calf back to momma ASAP or finding a nurse cow. But then we also had a much smaller operation in both herd numbers and acreage, and it wasn't hard for us to contain momma in a pen in the barn while we tried to reunite the pair.
nancy k On Tuesday, March 12 at 7:50 am
I was wondering that as well. Were are the mamas?
The babies are adorable but I imagine keeping them full and happy is not easy.
Lisathemom On Monday, March 11 at 9:52 am
I'm with you on the mothering thing….my 3 babies are all off in college now, calling when they need money, etc. and I miss those special times of nursing. Ok, maybe I don't miss them nursing at 3 am, and 5 am, but I miss the way they darted and nuzzled and wanted only me….and not my money.
Michelle On Monday, March 11 at 9:52 am
I adore bottle feeding calves! My two girls show dairy heifers through our FFA program, and my in-laws have a dairy (which we practically live on) so every year we get a couple of bottle babies and raise them up for the kids to show. My father-in-law loves getting the show cows back after we're done with them, cause they don't kick as much in the barn when they're getting milked, and my kids love the special time they spend with the calves. It's a great bonding experience for them, and teaches them responsibility. In fact, my 13 year old's first show cow (lovingly named Butterfly) is due to calve sometime this summer, and she plans on showing B's baby next go-round. So neat!!
Paula P. On Monday, March 11 at 9:52 am
They are so adorable! I used to love feeding the babies. By the looks on the kids faces they do too!
Alica @ Happily Married to the Cows On Monday, March 11 at 9:53 am
Being on a dairy farm, every baby here is a bottle baby for about a week, which is when we teach them to drink out of a bucket. I'm amazed that my flannel shirts and jeans…or coveralls…don't have holes in them by now, for all the sucking and chewing they do on my clothing while waiting their turn!
Sharon On Monday, March 11 at 12:19 pm
that's how we did it also. My folks milked the cows, and we had to feed the calves out of the bucket. I would much have preferred the big bottle. Lots more fun. Oh, and when we have the punch made from sherbet and gingerale, we call it "calf slobbers"…
Darcie (My Modern Country) On Monday, March 11 at 9:53 am
I totally get it….
Don On Monday, March 11 at 9:53 am
Do they get whole, 2% or skim……..of course I am joking………
Jennifer in Texas On Monday, March 11 at 9:54 am
When we had our one family (a Jersey) cow, the thing the kids liked the LEAST was bottled feeding the calf. I guess they never learned the trick that your boys did about how to hold the bottle because my kids got knocked down regularly.
Susan R. On Monday, March 11 at 9:54 am
Absolutely love bottle feeding livestock. We used to feed a couple of lambs like this. They weren't as aggressive as cows, but they followed us around a lot.
Alica @ Happily Married to the Cows On Monday, March 11 at 9:55 am
Being on a dairy farm, all of our calves are bottle babies for about a week, which is when we teach them to drink out of a bucket. I'm surprised that my flannel shirts, jeans…or coveralls…don't have holes worn in them from all the chewing and sucking on my clothes while they're waiting their turn!
Jo C On Monday, March 11 at 9:55 am
My dad raised goats and bottle fed a few. It was so much fun…
Teresa G On Monday, March 11 at 9:55 am
Ahhh…springtime. My grandkids have 2 baby goat kids. And 100 baby chicks….. and 14 new puppies!! MUST be something in the water…..
Bet S. On Monday, March 11 at 9:56 am
My daddy always called them Calf Slobbers. When my mom made a pie with meringue on top he always wanted her to put extra "calf slobbers" on his piece. We still call meringue calf slobbers.
Andrea R On Monday, March 11 at 9:58 am
I miss getting to feed those cute babies.
Judy Pearl On Monday, March 11 at 9:58 am
I would love to do that. My family had a farm when I was little and I loved it. I still miss it. Your pictures are wonderful. Thanks!
Gamm Doughty On Monday, March 11 at 10:00 am
As a kid on the ranch I was always told the calf slobber was collected and whipped for our pies… to this day some 50+ years later I still will not eat meringue on a pie, nor will I make it and put it on a pie… funny how that sticks with us.
wendi On Monday, March 11 at 10:00 am
Love bottle feeding..we rescued a baby that had got stepped on when they were sorting..splinted his leg and he was good to go…we named him Tuf..but…ended up in the freezer…but bottle feeding him was so much fun….he was so cute
Mari On Monday, March 11 at 10:02 am
You had to wash the bottle? For a cow?
Kellie On Monday, March 11 at 10:02 am
My grandpa always referred to whipped topping on pies, puddings, etc as "calf slobbers"… and thus…, so do the rest of us. Example: "Here's your pumpkin pie… Do ya want calf slobbers on that????"
Mylissa in Texas On Monday, March 11 at 10:02 am
Love this pictures. We have had to raise a few of those ourselves over the years and goat kids too. We got a milk cow to help raise them. Once I milked a milk goat and then would give the calf the fresh goat milk. It's a lot of work but rewarding.
Jeanenne On Monday, March 11 at 10:04 am
We used to call meringue "calf's slobber." I admit meringue used to disturb me some. I guess that's natural with such an image in my mind! But baby calves are so sweet and fun to watch on a bottle. I like watching their tails twirl!
Betty C in NY State On Monday, March 11 at 10:04 am
Pleease can I help?!
Carol On Monday, March 11 at 10:05 am
Our nickname for meringue at my house growing up was calf slobbers . . .
Jeri On Monday, March 11 at 10:05 am
Bottle feeding any animal infant is deeply satisfying. I bottle raised three orphaned kittens last year! Btw – my husband has always referred to meringue as "calf slobber". lol
Cheryl Barker On Monday, March 11 at 10:06 am
Ree, you may have just ruined us all on meringue now
Jody On Monday, March 11 at 10:06 am
You brought back a memory. My dad used to call meringue "cow slobbers". I totally forgot about that. Thanks!
I can't imagine bottle feeding hungry calves. I had to bottle feed 6 kittens and that was a lot of work.
Kari Jaquith On Monday, March 11 at 10:06 am
I love taking a break from working at home to check in on those adorable calves. They are so darn cute…Calf Meringue?…ummm.
Trina On Monday, March 11 at 10:06 am
It is so awesome that your kids get to be part of your work. What that does for them is priceless.
TRUFFLES in AZ On Monday, March 11 at 10:50 am
I agree Trina! The Drummond kids are awesome, have such a great work ethic for kids, what they are experiencing is priceless for them and they have great attitudes. Excellent job of child rearing Ree & Marlboro Man!
Melissa On Monday, March 11 at 10:08 am
My family has always called meringue "calf slobbers," but I never knew why until now.
Michaela On Monday, March 11 at 10:08 am
Oh, Ree!
I absolutely LOVE feeding bucket calves! When my children were young, I suffered from separation anxiety when they started school. My husband rectified that by purchasing three bucket calves. He did that for two years then I started homeschooling our daughter. I totally understand the maternal instinct thing! When we were short on bottles I just mixed the extra bottle in a bucket and took it out with me. That way when one was finished I just unscrewed the top, wiped the nipple off with a cloth, poured in the extra liquid, and we were ready to go. The only problem was that the weaning part I'm not so good at. If I had my way they would be 1200 lbs. and ready to go to market and still be wanting sucking on the bottle. If you need a volunteer…..
Jill G On Monday, March 11 at 10:09 am
We females do love babies of just about any species… even when we are very young there is something about a baby animal that just calls to our inner motherhood. And we say, nawwww…
Ree – do you need a sous chef and part time barn hand?? Pick me, pick me!!!
Jessi Baker On Monday, March 11 at 10:10 am
My family have always called meringue "Calf Slobbers"!! We loved it! It never slowed us down…If somethings good…you eat it no matter what it is lol.
Allison R On Monday, March 11 at 10:10 am
We occasionally had a calf to bottle feed & I always loved it too. This post brings back fond memories! My grandfather always called meringue "calf slobber" I don't eat it to this day, although not for that reason now, it's what started me down that path.
Roberta Anderson - Van Dyke On Monday, March 11 at 10:11 am
I love catching and "rocking" the baby goats to sleep at my friends house. I tuck them inside my black carhart jacket with me, stand in the sun and sway…warms them up and puts them out like a light! It makes my "childless arms" seem a little less empty and ache-y feeling. I can't even imagine bottle feeding those calves…hey, maybe every spring I should set up a "Bottle Baby Nursery" in my barn and take in everyones bottle babies! It'll help soothe that motherly instinct I have but have nothing to give it to! Oh Geez Ree, you might have started something!!
Wanda On Monday, March 11 at 10:12 am
Such a sweet post, Ree! That last picture of the calf's neck is especially sweet. I love his/her's eyelashes! This post leaves me with some questions though…. how often do you have to feed the calves and how in the world to you burp them? (Just kidding on the last question…:))
Lacey On Monday, March 11 at 10:12 am
Yep, same here – meringue = calf slobbers. Kinda missin' bottle feeding babies this year!
Helen On Monday, March 11 at 10:13 am
Your children have experiences that are totally foreign and eviable to other kid's. I know if I showed this post to my daughter her response would be "Awwww. I want to do that!!". Honey, so do I!!
Barbara Taylor On Monday, March 11 at 10:13 am
Several years ago I rescued two bull newborn calves from a dairy farm. Raised them on the bottle. I enjoyed feeding them till they got a lot bigger and started feeding them from a bucket. If you don't watch the way you handle the bucket you could be seriously injured. Ha They get serious about what's in the bucket – your hand's and feet better be out of the way. Twisted wrist and broke toe, but I would do it again.
Jill-B On Monday, March 11 at 10:14 am
Ree, I love your writing & personality so much! You make me laugh and feel all warm & fuzzy inside–please, don't stop sharing!
I remember my one time feeding a calf at my cousin's dairy farm from a nippled bucket–they do have a powerful punch (would that be a "sucker" punch?). It can flat knock you down if you're not prepared for it!
kay b On Monday, March 11 at 10:15 am
Thanks for sharing this! Brings back memories from my childhood, when I would beg daddy to let me bottle feed the little calves. after 2 or 3 cold mornings, I'd beg off the duty and daddy would take over again.
Donna Fecteau On Monday, March 11 at 10:16 am
My Aunt owned a dairy farm and one of my favorite things to do other than enjoy the wonderful view from her hill top farm, was to help feed calves.
Stephanie in Arkansas On Monday, March 11 at 10:16 am
ROFL! around my home we always refer to meringue as Cow or Calf slobber.
too funny.
Darcy On Monday, March 11 at 10:19 am
Calf meringue….lol – that is perfect! And good luck with your calves! We buy surplus Jersey's from our local auction to raise our bummers….so not too many bottles are made here, but sometimes I do miss feeding calves a bottle. I don't have kids, but it is pretty satisfying to make a hungry calf not so hungry any more.
Denise On Monday, March 11 at 10:22 am
That used to be my favorite thing growing up on the farm, getting pushed around by a calf at feeding time. It always made me sad to though, if we were bottle feeding it meant that either Mom had passed or was having issues claiming the little one. I have some amazing memories of growing up on a farm, but also some pretty tough life lessons.
Aileen Burke On Monday, March 11 at 10:24 am
These pictures just make me happy all the way to my toes! Thank you for sharing today!
renae in Texas On Monday, March 11 at 10:24 am
I grew up on a dairy in Texas and fed 20+ calves 2 times a day as a kid. I loved it! And we call meringue "calf slobber" in Texas too!
brenda On Monday, March 11 at 10:24 am
Think I might become a vegetarian after learning about all of this. my mom was raised on a farm and only was able to "visit" it when she was alive:(
Erin L On Monday, March 11 at 10:31 am
Brenda, I became a vegetarian at 10 years old after spending the summer at my Aunt & Uncle's cattle ranch. It's 26 years later & I still don't eat meat. I understand your heart.
Elizabeth On Thursday, March 14 at 10:22 am
Why??? What's so bad about taking care of calves???
Felicia On Monday, March 11 at 10:26 am
I understand. I understand completely. After the first two or three days of feeding bottle calves, my husband always suggests an automatic feeder. Ugh! I don't care how early I have to get up or if its 12 below or 112 – I will feed the calves myself! Calves, like all babies, need mamas!
Joanne S On Monday, March 11 at 10:26 am
I wonder what my neighbors would say if I got a calf? I think I need one.
mssummer13 On Monday, March 11 at 10:26 am
One of my fondest childhood memories. It was a rare activity for me but I loved it.
Erin L On Monday, March 11 at 10:27 am
I'm ashamed to admit that the "calf meringue" comment didn't put me off meringue at all. In fact now I'm dreaming of lime-meringue tart! There must be something about seeing it in sepia & white that makes calf saliva look approachable.
Adriane C On Monday, March 11 at 10:27 am
That is so funny because my dad calls meringue "Claf Slobbers" and he has done so for as long as I can remember! lol I sure do love him
Sherri Len On Monday, March 11 at 5:33 pm
My Dad always called meringue calf slobber also. There were a few years there when I had a hard time eating lemon pie! What a funny memory! What I would give to hear Dad teasing me about eating calf slobber – he passed away 25 years ago.
Jana On Monday, March 11 at 10:29 am
My in-laws have referred to meringue as "calf slobbers" for as long as I've been in the family. lol
Tamra Rowan On Monday, March 11 at 10:31 am
Oh my goodness! LOVE the picture of the calf with it's eyes closed while bottle-feeding! I haven't bottle-fed a calf since I was about 8-yrs-old, but now that I'm a mommy, I can totally see how bottle-feeding ANY animal would satisfy that maternal instinct! Thanks for sharing!
Carrie L. On Monday, March 11 at 10:33 am
My Husband and kids call real meringue "calfs slobber"!! I hve trouble eating it too!

In regards to your 'calf meringue' comment, my father-in-law always called the meringue on a pie "calf slobber"!!
MaryAnne Dawson On Monday, March 11 at 10:37 am
I remember my Daddy bottle feeding calves probably 30 or 40 years ago. He would make the bottles at the house and head to the pasture. He had a special call and the calves would come running.
Makes me miss my Daddy this morning.
Jenn C. On Monday, March 11 at 10:42 am
Oh my gosh… I want one!
Susan Cooper On Monday, March 11 at 10:50 am
I had a warm and squishy feeling when I was thinking and reading about feeding the caves. I am so with you on the mother connection thing.
Regrading the meringue,… EWWW. Now I'll be looking at meringue in whole different tight. EWW.
EMC On Monday, March 11 at 10:51 am
Was the third calf "ABIGAIL" ???
Some of you gals forget it really is work—ours like to be fed about 5 AM !!!!
But no matter we love 'em.
Janice On Monday, March 11 at 10:52 am
What sweet babies!
Kerri Zayas On Monday, March 11 at 10:53 am
Oh how I would love to have one of my own…I am not thinking the neighbors would approve though! Bottle feeding any animal is something I have loved doing forever and love the fact that you said no to the automatic feeder. Thank you for sharing your stories with all of us.
Allison On Monday, March 11 at 10:54 am
Seeing this gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Such sweet little babies.
Tonya H On Monday, March 11 at 11:00 am
I grew up on my grandparents farm here in Minnesota and I have the greatest memories of bottle feeding the calves! I can still remember the smell of the powdered "milk" that we would mix and put into the bottles. And so true how they suck it down without taking a breath. Just loved reading this post!
Jil On Monday, March 11 at 11:01 am
so cute!
seems like you have more calves that need to be bottle-fed this year? just wondering what would cause that
Terry in Indiana On Monday, March 11 at 11:06 am
My husband ALWAYS makes the comment when I serve a pie with meringue topping that it's calf slobbers. But he loves meringue anyway…kind of takes my appetite away (for a few seconds, anyway!)
walkeramber On Monday, March 11 at 11:07 am
My Dad refer to meringue ast the cow slave.as calf slobbers and the butter as cow slave. It was fun when we had guest for meals they always looked funny when he said please past the cow slave.
Shelbie On Monday, March 11 at 11:10 am
OMG! Those pics are precious! And let me tell you that for a while now I have called meringue "Calf Slobber"!! Just another nickname or that nastiest on top of pies LOL
Deb On Monday, March 11 at 11:13 am
My husband has called meringue "calf slobber" all our married life; I can't even remember the last time I topped a pie with meringue. It's whipped cream on pies at our house!
Tammy Marcelain On Monday, March 11 at 11:21 am
My Texas grandfather calls meringue….calf slobbers. I try and ignore him when he says that and go to my happy place.
Kathryn On Monday, March 11 at 11:54 am
My Texas Grandma used to say the same thing!!
Terry in Divide On Monday, March 11 at 11:21 am
Oxytocin is a powerful thing–and I can fully believe it would kick in with bottle feeding a calf. Hope you get that third bottle soon (and while you're at it, maybe pick up a couple more spares)

20 January 2012
Stonewall today welcomed the conviction of three men in Derby for stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation. The men found guilty of the offence following a trial at Derby Crown Court, having distributed leaflets featuring a catalogue of threatening material in July 2010.
Ben Summerskill, Stonewall Chief Executive, said: 'We're satisfied to see these extremists convicted for distributing offensive and inflammatory leaflets that suggested gay people should be burnt or stoned to death. This case vindicates Stonewall's long fight to secure specific legal protection for gay people against incitement to hatred. Witnesses told the court they felt threatened and deeply fearful in their own homes. People from all communities will feel safer knowing that the law now makes it harder to stir up hatred and violence against gay people.'
1. Stonewall led lobbying to secure amendments to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 that extended existing protections against incitement to hatred on the grounds of race or religion to sexual orientation. The relevant amendments are in Section 76 and Schedule 16 of the Act, and Part 3A of the Public Order Act 1986.
During office hours please call: 020 7593 1856 or outside office hours on 07985 439 660.

At the hinge of the 1960s and 1970s, "Cabin in the Sky" embodied just about everything we young, gifted & solemn black college students thought we were fighting against. All we blinkered baby cultural-nationalists could see back then in those idyllic depictions of small-town African American folk life were unhealthy levels of honeysuckle and hambone. Away with those rolling dice and eyeballs, all that cornball piety & undignified shucking…Is that really what we wanted our collective profile to look like after King and Malcolm and countless others had died for our advancement?
It's a measure of how much time has passed that I can't even LOOK at that previous sentence, much less write it, without wincing; the same kind of wincing we aforementioned Children of the Movement were doing whenever "Cabin" poked out from TV's wee-hour wilds or was screened at collegiate film societies. Exaggerated nose-turning-in-a-vertical-direction is at least as embarrassing as pronounced eye-rolling – and not nearly as funny. Give me the choice between retroactive scoldings from what some new-jack pundits have come to label the "soul patrol" and the to-be-or-not-to-be anxieties displayed by Eddie "Rochester" Anderson and I know whose party I'd rather go to.
The distinction no longer needs raising, much less stressing. Several years ago, I'd hosted a screening of "Cabin" for a Wednesday-night Lenten supper at our predominantly black Episcopal church in lower Manhattan. It was a small audience, mostly older and just about all of its members had seen the movie before and loved it without predisposition or qualifiers (even though the DVD released three years ago opens with Warner Home Video's contemporary disclaimer apologizing about "stereotypes" that were "wrong then and wrong now.") The tiny audience appeared to appreciate the concern, though it didn't need to be told what was or wasn't appropriate. They just wanted a warm black-and-white memory bath. Even the sole 20-something in the room, recruited to help with projection, was caught up in a movie old enough to be his (grand) mother.
Each time I see the movie, I'm more galvanized by the sheer magnetism of its performers. Even in the reproachful seventies, it was hard not to be waylaid by the glory that was Lena Horne in her twenties. What she was then and what she remained throughout the sixties and beyond was so legitimate & enduring to young black fogies like us that we gave her quick dispensation for "Cabin"; the kind of pass that that didn't easily go to, say, Ethel Waters (about whom, more later),"Rochester" Anderson or John "Bubbles" Sublett, whose song-and-dance recital of "Shine" is at once the movie's most glaring anachronism and its most flamboyant affirmation of poise and skill.
Which in no way slights everyone else in the movie, though you wish Louis Armstrong got to do even a little bit more than set off a few elegant licks while wearing those ridiculous devil's horns. You also wish you could see more of Duke Ellington's orchestra at work beyond flashes of its suave, imperturbable leader. (That IS Johnny Hodges in the front with the alto, right?) But first-time director Vincente Minnelli was too caught up in the dancing and singing – and rightfully so. His own eye is so greedy and avid for movement and energy that you can almost feel him sitting next to you as you're looking for the next big moment.
Almost all of which moments are owned by Waters. Donald Bogle has elsewhere noted how often contemporary audiences are drawn to screenings of "Cabin" by the promise of seeing the young, cat-like Horne, yet leave those screenings dazzled by Waters' charisma. If younger moviegoers had easy access to Waters' recordings from the 1920s and 1930s, they'd be better prepared for her vocal agility. (Critics and historians, not that anyone pays them any mind, argue with conviction that Waters' chops as a singer were the equal of Armstrong's – and that her influence on jazz singing was just as emphatic & far-reaching.) But hardly anyone at any age is prepared for the moment when Waters' Petunia, backsliding into "sin" to "save" Anderson's Joe from the Devil's clutches, sashays into a startlingly graceful jitterbug with Sublett's Domino. One has read in books about both women of tension between Horne and Waters throughout "Cabin's" shooting. (In her own memoir, "His Eye is On the Sparrow", Waters doesn't go into detail about the friction except to say that she "won every battle" and that her scrapes kept her away from the movies for another six years.) Whether Waters ended up dominating "Cabin" by fair or foul means, her triumph endures just as Dilsey, the character she played in her last film, 1959's "The Sound and the Fury," endured.
After the church screening was over, I asked the audience if there were still aspects of the movie that offended or seemed out-of-date. No one could think of any – and I honestly couldn't come up with any that mattered. I do wish, in retrospect, that I'd asked them if it seemed as though the folks who were either in hell or engaging in "sinful" partying had a better time – and heard better music – than those who stayed close to Petunia's righteous path. I decided against bringing that dilemma up in a Lenten discussion, though it now strikes me that there were folks willing to talk it over.
I did, however, bring up the closest present-day corollary to "Cabin in the Sky's" blend of low comedy and Manichean melodrama: The films of Tyler Perry, especially those featuring Madea, Perry's pious, pistol-packing alter-ego. Since I knew that all those assembled had seen more than one Perry movie more than once, I asked if there was any real difference between the depictions of black life in "Cabin" and those in, say, "Madea Goes to Prison." They said there were none; a surprise to me since I expected them to mention the relative rawness of Perry's depictions of single motherhood, class animus and teen pregnancy. "Cabin's" dichotomy between Petunia's milk-and-honey world view and the temptations of the flesh embodied by Horne's duplicitous Georgia Brown seem like old school Disney by comparison. But in both cases, a simplistic (as opposed to simple) solution to mortal weakness and moral sloth is submitted to audiences for whom broad laughs and big emotions are perhaps the only justifications for entertainment.
Perry continues to astound the mainstream (white) world with the bushels of money he reaps for his movies. And his entrepreneurial moxie serves as a reminder that, unlike the 1940s (or the two decades subsequent to or preceding them), it's possible for African American artists to have some control over how they're depicted on screen, for better or worse. I still wonder whether future generations of black people will someday accuse his work of, at best, being too over-the-top or (so to speak) too black-and-white in their moralistic aims. I doubt it somehow. But of one thing I have no doubt: Madea, whatever her own martial skills or swaggering mojo, is no Ethel Waters.

Watching "Cabin in the Sky" for Lent
October 1st, 2013 — family history, movie reviews
At the hinge of the 1960s and 1970s, "Cabin in the Sky" embodied just about everything we young, gifted & solemn black college students thought we were fighting against. All we blinkered baby cultural-nationalists could see back then in those idyllic depictions of small-town African American folk life were unhealthy levels of honeysuckle and hambone.

Chafin Seymour's Hip-Hop-Pop-Rock List for 2012
January 2nd, 2013 — family history, jazz reviews
For our site's inaugural posting of 2013, I proudly & happily yield the floor to Chafin Seymour (BFA, Dance, The Ohio State University, 2012), who has picked up his father's end-of-the-year compulsion to assess the things he hears and let the world in on what he thinks of them. Unlike his father, he does his list, you will note, in ascending, rather than descending, order ("Opa Letterman Style!" And, no, you wont find no damn Psy on this list.) He also shows righteous critical acumen that, were I an overly envious person, would make my teeth ache. Instead, "my heart soars like a hawk"! (Name the movie. Win no prizes.) It would seem I have helped re-birth Lester Bangs, though he dances a whole lot better and takes better care of himself…I hope.
These are my top albums of 2012. I will not go overboard with my intro except to say that 2012 was an exceptionally strong and eclectic year in independent and pop music, and I had a hell of a time deciding what I wanted to write about for this year end wrap-up. I decided on these fourteen albums (four honorable mentions and a top ten) arduously and carefully.
Honorable Mention
Killer Mike – R.A.P. Music
Cagey rap veteran Killer Mike finally does his name and reputation justice. Independent, political, and fiercely opinionated, Mike makes the album we have been waiting for, with help from Brooklyn producer El-P, who takes some of the usual distortion out of beats in favor of banging southern bass. It is a smart choice that allows Mike to rock in his comfort zone from start to finish.
THE party record of the year, hands down. This five song EP from producers Lunice and Hudson Mohawke was a giant smack across the face of modern dance music. Combining "trap" style southern hip-hop bass with elements of House and Dubstep (note the intense-ass-drops on every track), TNGHT reveled in simplicity and space while urging pop consumers and club kids to "wake the f' up" and notice some real "ish."
How To Dress Well – Total Loss
This was the first proper cohesive album from How To Dress Well's Torn Krell. He continues to play with traditional R&B arrangements by taking out all the warm and fuzzy stuff to leave you with an anxious, empty sound. He does let some color in on tracks like "& It was U" but overall stays distant. Never has a bad break-up (and crippling depression) sounded so smooth.
Burial – Kindred EP & Truant/Rough Sleeper
I have always described Burial as being on "another level" from other electronic producers and the two EPs released by William Bevan this year continue to prove me right. While eleven-minute electronic house opuses steeped in otherworldly distortion and dark ambiance may not be the most palatable thing in the world, it is good to see an artist unafraid to explore the world he chooses to create. While we wait for another jaw dropping album like 2007's Untrue these two excellent EPS will just have to be enough.
Top 10
10. Four Tet – Pink
As any one who has spent a lot of time around me in the past year can tell you, I have been really into house music. In fact, much of this fascination was instigated by Four Tet's fabulous Fabriclive mix from earlier this year. Many of the tracks off of Pink were released as singles or EPs, but they were really begging to be compiled. Four Tet (actual name, Kieran Hebden) is an electronic music veteran. He has put out six very different albums and more live mixes and song remixes than I care to imagine. Pink finds Hebden diving head first into the club. Where earlier records were rhythmically restrained in their minimalist tendencies, Pink lets the rhythm drive and builds the structure around those. Loops abound and bass pounds, but you never get the sense that Heben is leading you on aimlessly. This is music based in his roots, and you can tell he cares. This is really a great introduction to house music for someone with little to no experience, and rarely does a modern producer delve so deeply with no effort showing. Never has so much thought gone into music that encourages folks to stop thinking and just let go. You will dance my friends, oh yes, but you will do so consciously.
9. Alabama Shakes – Boys & Girls
I was a little skeptical of Alabama Shakes before I listened to them somewhere between the NPR accolades and adult-contemporary following. However, I allowed myself to indulge in this album. It is four-piece, grungy southern blues-rock in its purest form, nothing overly deep or onerous, and that is key. What really reaches through the speaker and grabs you is lead singer Brittany Howard's primal howl. From the thumping "Hold On" to the trickling "Goin to the Party" to the love ballad of the year "You Ain't Alone," the consistency, believability, and sense of desperation of her vocals make up this album's driving force. While there were other notable blues-rock releases this year, namely Jack White's strong solo album Blunderbuss, nothing stuck in my mind so concretely as Boys & Girls. In this case, less is most definitely more.
8. Jessie Ware – Devotion
In a post-Adele world how does a young, female, British singer-songwriter make her work stand out? There probably isn't one right answer to that question. But Jessie Ware certainly offers an intensely-appealing album of suggestions. Ms. Ware made her start singing hooks on electronic dance songs by the likes of SBTRKT and much of that club influence spills over into Devotion, her first solo work. However, despite the "of-the-moment" nature of the production Ware manages to expertly write and sing timeless love songs. The centerpiece ballad "Wildest Moments" is a song that could have gallivanted into glory by expressing the joys of a one-night stand or healthy sexual relationship. Instead, Ware manages to add uncertainty and poignancy by singing about a relationship that only makes sense to the two people involved. This attention and care makes an album that could easily have been just another pop-diva's introduction into a collection of smart artistic choices and memorably intimate melodies.
7. Grizzly Bear – Shields
I'll be up front: I love Grizzly Bear, always have. Ever since I heard those first tenuous notes of 2006's Yellow House followed by the complete work-of-art that is 2008's Veckatimest, Grizzly Bear has managed to run the emotional gauntlet from warm intimacy to cold distance. Shields finds the Brooklyn band venturing out into the wilderness to look beyond their own backyard for influence. Musical references range from jazz to The Beatles; somehow they manage do it all justice. The arrangements on this album conjure up landscapes as breathtaking as they are intimidating. You can feel that Shields came to be, relatively seamlessly and naturally when compared to the endlessly worked-over quality of earlier albums. In interviews, Grizzly Bear has said that this album was the most collaborative in terms of songwriting, and you can feel the vibe of a band intensely comfortable working together. In lesser hands, songs like these could easily be sappy or overly buttoned-up; in this case, it's just What They Do. I'll be damned if I can think of a band that does it better.
6. Beach House – Bloom
The most glaring critique I keep hearing about Beach House's Bloom is that it "sounds too much like their earlier stuff." While this is true, that fact is also precisely what makes Bloom such a strong effort. It has taken three other albums, but Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally finally take their synth-and-guitar-driven-dream-pop out of the bedroom and into the big wide world. The depth and scope of this album is impressive, as every song seems to, indeed, "bloom" from start to finish. Legrand's voice is as scintillating as ever and the arrangements are indeed lush. However, her newfound lyrical assertions as well as the use of more confident percussion and rhythmic structures deepen and widen a sound that could easily peg a less-adept band into a corner. Beach House knows where their niche is and, instead of shying away from that, they have found a way to dive deeper into it. Bloom seems to say, in response to the criticism mentioned earlier, "Yeah it does and try to tell me you don't love it anyway." I can't, and neither should you.
5. Grimes – Visions
Grimes is definitely a product of our over-digitized culture. Canadian art-student Claire Boucher makes music entirely on her laptop using technology that is, relatively speaking, available to anyone. She has garnered a following and buzz using just the Internet, no record label needed, and Visions is Boucher's most accessible release to date. Despite being an indie darling (thank you Pitchfork), Boucher does something unexpected here by making something she clearly enjoys as opposed to trying to please critics or an audience (a tactic, I believe, more artists, in and out of music, should look into). You can tell she is having a lot of fun with this record. Her layering of her own sugar sweet vocals over gloppy, bounding digital tracks is equally appealing and subversive. The fact that you can hardly understand her lyrics (I'm pretty sure she slips into singing in Japanese on a couple tracks) is part of the escapist absurdity of it all. Visions is not the easiest album to listen to, to be fair. But it truly grows on you, going from ridiculous to danceable to contemplative in just a few minutes, further reflecting the over-stimulating effects of the Internet. By allowing yourself to revel in the commentary as well as the fun, Visions becomes a worthy indie-pop experience.
4. Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city
good kid, m.A.A.d. city has already been hailed by some critics as, "the most important commercial rap album in the last decade." So let's calm down and start by jumping off the Kendrick Lamar bandwagon for a second. Yes, he is a skilled lyricist with a strong instinct for radio-friendly hooks. Yes, he expertly chooses assorted beats from the best of today's hip-hop producers. Yes he's been featured on every hot hip-hop track over the past six months. Yes, he can count such industry heavyweights as Lady Gaga and Dr. Dre in his corner. However, despite the buzz, what stands out most about Kendrick Lamar is his ambition. This album is subtitled a "Short Film" and indeed the scope of the narrative-driven LP can feel a bit cinematic at times. It contains twinges of naïveté, with stories of adolescent peer-pressure and family alcoholism ("Swimming Pools (Drank)"), mixed with youthful bravado ("Backseat Freestyle"), and a dash of timeless swagger ("Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe"). At the edge of it all gnaws the darkness and emptiness of growing up in South Central L.A. gang culture (or, for that matter, any violent American urban center) and the cultural contradictions often present in African-American culture, such as devotion to God and religion equal to that of substance abuse and violence. It remains to be seen where this album will fall historically; hence my tentative urging to give it some breathing room. It is, nevertheless, instantly recognizable as an important and original portrait of urban music in 2012 — and, by far, the strongest rap offering I have heard from a new artist in quite some time.
3. Frank Ocean – channel ORANGE
There is little doubt in my mind that Frank Ocean is the future of urban and pop-music. I am also decidedly OK with that. After an early mixtape in 2011, the phenomenal Nostalgia, ultra, and tabloid fodder regarding his sexuality, Ocean, whose birth name is Christopher Breaux, emerged from the hype with the meticulously-crafted channel Orange. The album is meant to transcend boundaries and identities, and it does. At first listen, it can come off as simply a strong debut from a pop singer. You can feel how much Ocean has sharpened his teeth while ghostwriting for such artists as Justin Bieber and John Legend. However, upon repeat listening, one can begin to recognize channel Orange as a much stronger statement; not just on Ocean's pop sensibility but on America's. The fact that a song as cloyingly sweet as "Thinkin' Bout You" can slide into play on urban radio stations next to Rick Ross and Meek Mills, while still being a sing-along favorite for soccer moms, is both impressive and intelligent. This eclectic, constantly-shifting mix of pop ideas is so deftly, almost nonchalantly, executed that by the time you realize you're listening to a John Mayer guitar solo over gloomy, ambient synths at the end of "Pyramids," it's almost too late. From start to finish, Frank Ocean plays to our comfort zone while periodically throwing in ideas you would not expect. A delight to listen to as well as to discern, channel Orange is an unexpected pop pleasure.
2. Flying Lotus – Until the Quiet Comes
This album represents a musical and intellectual quandary to many people. A traditionally hip-hop/electronic producer strips down his digital cacophony with (get this) live musicians. Steve Ellison (a.k.a. Flying Lotus) has embraced his heritage. He is the great nephew of Alice and John Coltrane. After releasing three albums to increasing critical acclaim he arrives with the wonderfully-understated Until the Quiet Comes. It is, in essence, an electronic jazz album. But before you write it off as overly experimental, just put it on and let it take you for a ride. The way in which Ellison can synthesize so many disparate elements (African percussion, free jazz, West Coast hip-hop etc.) into a cohesive sonic journey is a wonder to behold. The influence of fellow Brainfeeder Collective member, Thundercat is clearly discernable in the strong bass lines and psychedelic milieu. The use of live set musicians, as opposed to exclusively digital instrumentation, further expands Ellison's current trajectory. Nothing here seems forced. And despite existing in a clear and heady intellectual space, there is something discernibly intimate and personal about this album. You really feel as though Ellison has found his "quiet" place where all his musical ideas can flow organically and take shape on their own.
1. Dirty Projectors – Swing Lo Magellan
For those of us keeping score at home Swing Lo Magellan represents Dave Longstreth's eighth album in the past decade with his Dirty Projectors project. What is most impressive about the latest effort is the seeming lack of it. Longstreth finally seems comfortable in his own skin as a songwriter. Not to say he has abandoned his distinctly complex vocal harmonies or tempo shifts, but he has found a way to not let his technical arrangements get in the way of simple and pleasurable song writing. Swing Lo Magellan is a collection of literate love songs for a generation of young people hyper aware of the impending doom of society. However even in the darker moments of the album (such as "Offspring are Blank"), Longstreth trusts in his expressive and eclectic musicality to carry through while allowing himself to be lyrically playful. This is by far Dirty Projectors most accessible and fun release to date and it is undeniably catchy. Try getting the chorus from "About to Die" or "Impregnable Question" out your head after one listen…Impossible.
Who Gene Is, More or Less
February 2nd, 2011 — family history, on writing lit -- and unlit
I was born & raised in Hartford, Connecticut, attended local schools, graduated in 1974 from the University of Connecticut. Should have set off on my own, but lollygagged around until I drifted into a copyediting job at the Hartford Courant on Jan. 17, 1977 which, if memory serves, was also the first night of ABC's "Roots" mini-series. Begged for a "field" job & reported in eastern Connecticut towns before finally getting the urge for going, in 1981, to Philadelphia and the last progressive populist tabloid in America, its Daily News. (Though 28 at the time, I no longer contradict people so readily when they assume that I "grew up" in Philly.) I did rewrite on the city desk, traveled to every neighborhood for reporting duties, begged for a feature writing job and finally got one in 1987.
Within a year, I was writing TV reviews four times a week, which led to a short, unhappy stint at the then-fledgling Entertainment Weekly, which in turn led to a longer, happier one at Newsday, where I wrote mostly about jazz and the movies. Sometime after 1999, I was doing film reviews full-time and this split off into such pleasant experiences as my one-and-only trip to Cannes, a year-and-a-half doing weekly TV reviews on WPIX, six annual trips to Toronto and a few good movies. Not-so-pleasant experiences: My one-and-only trip to Sundance, chairmanship of the New York Film Critics Circle (the awards ceremony was fine, everything before wasn't), many mediocre movies. Took a buyout from Newsday in March, 2008.

with pain through your community, local media outlets, elected
officials, and professional organizations.
"The true strength of the American family finds its roots in an unwavering commitment to care for one another."
— President Barack Obama
The efforts and sacrifices of caregivers are vital to extending the quality of life of loved ones and family friends. However, caregivers need to actively care for their own physical, emotional and mental well-being. Although it may sound simple enough, the first step is to realize help is needed, then ask for it, and finally, accept it when offered.
With more than 65 million people in the U.S. providing care for chronically ill, disabled or aged family members and friends,1 Partners Against Pain is extending its commitment to support caregivers and those being cared for in every way possible. Caring for yourself is the best way to give quality care to those you love.
Many caregivers are so busy caring for others that they neglect basic needs for themselves. Everyday tasks that are routinely checked off to-do lists can become enormously challenging when you are doing everything for two. Your commitment doesn't stop at the end of the day, week, or month; take some time to acknowledge that you're both selfless and strong.
Starting today, take a proactive approach and show yourself some appreciation. The importance of reserving time to recharge, refresh and redirect is immeasurable. Whether it's a warm bath, watching a sunset or a movie night out — do something for yourself, and the recipient of your care will ultimately benefit.
As national studies have shown, the impact that caregiving has on the caregiver's health is enormous: 63% of caregivers report having poor eating habits. Fifty-eight percent indicate worse exercise habits than before their caregiving responsibilities began.2 With depression being a major influencer of caregiver health, 40% to 70% of family caregivers show clinically significant symptoms.3 Statistics like these are alarming and indicate that personal care for the caregiver should be made a top priority in one's daily routine.
Being an educated caregiver is the first step in becoming an even more effective one. Proper nutrition, exercise and adequate rest all play major roles in maintaining both physical and emotional strength. When you experience issues like difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite, extra stress or just plain exhaustion, take note and discuss these symptoms with your healthcare professional at your earliest convenience. Your health should always come first.
To help get you on the fast track to better health, go to Re-Charge® for a free printable newsletter. You'll find powerful tips for today's caregivers plus informative and entertaining articles posted just for you.
From understanding legal issues to learning how to meditate, to finding help when and where you need it — Re-Charge® has valuable information caregivers can use every day.
Family caregivers are the foundation of long-term care nationwide, exceeding Medicaid long-term care spending in every state. On average, caregivers spend 20 hours a week caring for their loved ones, while 13% provide 40 hours of care or more a week.1 Many offer their services around the clock.
Clearly, reaching out for help should be part of every caregiver's plan. The burden can be eased by taking advantage of state and community programs along with special resources that offer all types of support to family caregivers. Knowing you are not alone in your efforts is a special source of comfort and strength for you to rely on every day.
To find online support in your area, visit caregiveraction.org. Connecting with other caregivers is a way to give and receive hope, advice and friendly support. A handy online calendar is also available to help you organize doctor appointments, food shopping, and—most importantly—some downtime for yourself! Go to National Family Caregivers Association to plan your week and see all the services available to you.
Please join Partners Against Pain in recognizing the outstanding role that caregivers play in helping loved ones in need live richer and fuller lives. Thank you.

Baseball: WVU Set for Final Non-Conference Game
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University baseball team will play its final non-conference game of the season against La Salle on Tuesday, May 15, at Hawley Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.
Live video, audio and stats of the game may be accessed at MSNsportsNET.com.
WVU currently holds a record of 20-31 overall and a 7-17 mark in BIG EAST play going into the final weekend of the regular season. In order to qualify for the BIG EAST Tournament, the Mountaineers must win its final three games of the season against USF this weekend.
The Mountaineers dropped two of three games last weekend at Georgetown. Despite taking the loss in game one, sophomore right-hander Corey Walter pitched his third-consecutive complete game, allowing five runs on 12 hits with six strikeouts. In game two's victory, sophomore right-hander Ryan Tezak got the win in 2.2 innings of work, striking out the final six Hoya batters of the evening.
Junior shortstop John Polonius leads the team with a .321 batting average, and he has collected six doubles, two homers and 19 RBIs. Last weekend, Polonius led the team batting 7-for-14 (.500) with one double and five RBIs.
Freshman center fielder Bobby Boyd is hitting .320 with 37 runs, seven doubles, one triple, two home runs and 18 RBIs. Boyd also has 21 stolen bases in 24 attempts to lead the squad. Boyd scored three runs with one RBI and two stolen bases at Georgetown.
La Salle (20-29) is hitting .261 as a team with 15 home runs and 34 steals in 60 attempts. The Explorers are led at the plate by Jeff Flax, who is hitting .304 with four doubles, one triple and 16 RBIs. George Smith Jr. is batting .298 with 13 doubles, one triple, two homers and 26 RBIs, while Joe Bennie is hitting .291 with seven doubles, two triples, five home runs and 18 RBIs.

A tow truck company in Fresno, Calif., turned a Monday, Jan. 24, recovery into a way to help the needy, according to a news report.
A truck hauling oranges overturned in fog that Monday night on Highway 99 in Fresno, sending oranges everywhere. Action Towing towed the big rig, which still contained thousands of pounds of perfectly good oranges, the report states. However, because of the crash, the oranges weren't sellable, so Action Towing donated them to the Poverello House homeless center.
A total of 4,000 pounds were donated to the local non-profit.

Bill Reese is getting a big surprise in his room at the VA hospital in Iowa City.
"It was great," the Air Force veteran said. "It was fantastic."
Junior ROTC cadets from Davenport high schools visited him on Thursday. Students like Joshua Jaeger, 16, brought handmade valentine cards.
"Coming here just to say happy valentine's day has given back to them probably years that have been taken away from them," he said.
Valentines brighten spirits for patients and students alike. It's a special sign of respect and gratitude for those who served and sacrificed.
"I think it's great that I can show my personal appreciation for what they've done for our country," said Brooke Morales, 17.
This good cheer is part of a decade-long tradition in Davenport. Students learn more about Vietnam-era veterans like Roger Tague.
"It brightens my day," he said. "I guarantee you."
It's a living history with lots of lessons. Youngsters just soak it all up.
"If you were one of them, you would want the same thing to happen to you," said Evan Lebs, 15.
This visit brings the gift of friendship. It spans the generations between veterans and teenagers.
"We just made them so happy," said Drake Zugg, 15.
For families dealing with health issues, it's a welcome break. Students leave with a powerful impression.
"I just want to make them feel like they're family," Jaeger concluded. "They are family."
It's a special valentine for veterans, indeed.

I'm currently the cinematographer for part of a Formula One documentary feature for Spitfire Pictures, Flat-Out Films and Diamond Docs. Directed by Paul Crowder, written by Mark Monroe, produced by Michael Shevloff and Nigel Sinclair and co-produced by Rodney Frazier, the film largely tells the story of Formula 1's 'golden age' and is due to be released in 2011. Alex King (who I had previously worked with on his Formula One TV pilot) brought me into the fold on this new project. He's producing the onboard driving segments on this one. Our job was to film some additional F1 racing segments with Vintage F1 Cars and get the viewer completely inside the driving experience.
THE MISSION The Formula One Documentary is a 2D film, however having previously worked with the camera house HD Camera Rentals and the 3D masters at World War Seven, I was able to get them on board to film in 2d AND 3D. They were excited to bring their 2D/3D rigs and knowledge to the track. Knowing that you can use 2D versions from the 3D rigs, it was a no brainer in trying them out.
We flew up to Infineon raceway in Sonoma, CA to the Classic Sports Racing Group's 7th annual Charity Challenge. Here we met up with Bud Moeller to film his 1980 Ferrari 312 T5 Formula One car. It's got a 3 liter flat 12 cylinder motor making about 515 horsepower and was raced by Gilles Villeneuve and Jody Scheckter…an absolutely stunning machine. I was not into car racing before I began shooting these F1 cars. I'm not really a car guy (except for that 1974 Barracuda 440 Hp that I owned for all of 3 weeks and almost died in, that's another story) But once you see and hear these race machines skid around the track at breakneck speeds, it's impossible not to get hooked. I love watching the vintage F1's, much more than the new race cars. They're more machine, more Mad Max and they feel more like you're watching a 70's car chase film. In other words they look like they're DRIVING . We had one day to shoot the Ferrari in Sonoma, in what was billed as a test shoot to see what works. So we brought everything…
And now for the Technical Details….
The main rig was the new SI-3D mini system from Silicon Imaging, two SI-2K mini's, rigged side by side on a special plate Bobby Mansouri from HD Camera rentals had built. The SI-2K's were cabled to the new Cinedeck SI-3D solid-state recorder made specially for 3D ingestion and viewing and records onto SSD (Solid State) drives. The "display can show the left- and right-eye channels individually or combined in anaglyph, 50-50, wiggle, split-screen or side-by-side views." We used little C mount Schneider lenses 6mm and 8mm sets and filmed in the Cineform raw (Filmscan 2) codec.
We also had the new Panasonic AG-3DA1 to play with (see my previous post). Brad Schmidt from Go Pro brought up his prototype 3D Go Pro Camera. It wasn't a production model, essentially it was 2 go pro's fused together but synced through one record switch. He also had a suitcase full of 2D Go Pro cameras and a slew of Go Pro rigging equipment. To top it off I had my trusty 5D Mark II with me as well to shoot some 2D shots.
So what did we do? We rigged the shit out of this Ferrari. Key Grip Kenny Davis is an absolute wizard with car rigging. Kenny was a one man show, rigging camera's all over the car, in places I didn't think was possible. At one point we had 12 cameras on the car between the Si-2k 3D system, the 5D, Panasonic AG-3DA1 and multiple go pros. Really amazing work. This is especially impressive considering there is minimal footprint to rig from and very little metal to clamp onto. We did find the shots were much more stable when we had a roll bar or some sort of strong part of the chassis to clamp onto. The fiberglass body is very soft and vibrate a lot with the engine. Harmonic vibration is an issue with these performance race cars and when you have to mount from the body or rear spoiler it becomes an issue with some of the cameras. The roll bar is definitely the best place to clamp it. Director Paul Crowder expressed the process very well, " We had such limited time, the crew had to work so fast to change the set ups, it was like preparing a car for qualifying, it got really tense yet an exciting tense, then a call comes in, they've delayed the start time by ten minutes, quick rig another camera!!"
3D on the Ferrari
If you haven't shot 3D before, there are different "limitations" you need to consider when creating your shot. The biggest consideration from shot to shot is the distance between the center points of the two lenses, which is referred to as the interocular distance or "io". The io determines everything from how close you can get to your nearest subject, and the total amount of depth in the shot. For maximum flexibility, a mirrored beam splitter is usually employed when shooting 3D. however, due to weight and rigidity concerns, for this test shoot we used a side by side rig. With most side by side rigs, the closest you can be to the subject is 7-20 feet, depending on the size of the cameras and lenses. Parts of the object that come closer than 7′ usually create hyperstereo distortion, or in other words, "crazy 3dness that hurts your face and brain." This is a severe limitation when attaching cameras to a race car, mostly because if you want to shoot 3D down at the car you don't have many places to put the camera. The solution is to limit the depth behind the subject and shoot it flat. this doesn't completely solve the problem but it makes the final 3D image usable.
We cant actually show you the final images yet…you'll just have to wait for the film to come out! I've seen some rough edits and the Formula One film is mind blowingly good! I can tell you about how the shots worked out though.
So for example in the picture below we were 2 feet above the helmet, and shot into the track. I absolutely LOVE this shot in 2D. The image is just the drivers helmet, the wheel and the front tires and you see just the chasis of the car whipping through the turns. It's stunning visually and a perspective you dont ever see on an F1 car. In 3D when you look at it on the big screen with 3d glasses without correction the helmet is a little bit hyperstereo. However Josh Ferrazzano at World War Seven was able to stretch and pull the image and make it work.
The next shot was with the Si-2k 3d rig on the tail of the car so we could see the whole Ferrari in action. Hypothetically, this shot shouldn't work as well in 3D because the fins are very close to the lens and would be hyperstereo. However World War Seven was were able to crop it down so that it works with minimal hyperstereo issues. One problem with 3D stereography is that the color red actually causes a lot of ghosting in the final 3D image. This can be resolved by toning down the red to some degree, but with a Ferrari of course that's an issue. 3D shooting is all about finding balance, knowing what will work safely, knowing what might work to some degree, and knowing what definitely wont work. As far as the 2D image from this setup it looks fantastic, like you're following a car in a video game as it tears through the track!
The best shot for 3D was when we mounted the SI-2K to the fender on the front of the Ferrari. I could watch this shot for hours as it goes around the track. Everything is in complete perfect 3D nirvana because nothing comes within 7 Feet of the lens. This shot is absolutely stunning when you put on the 3D glasses and really feels like you're on the track.
We also mounted the 5D to the front of the car and to the side of the car. There were definitely HUGE jello issues in certain parts of the track and when it was mounted in certain ways. But when the footage is usable its gorgeous. If you're going to use 5D's for this kind of shooting you definitely will need a stabilization system and vibration reduction. We're working on that issue now so when we go again for re-shoots I will keep update that process. Here are some shots from that setup.
STABILITY, HEAT AND THE CINEDECK I was quite impressed with the stability of the SI-2K's. Although they are a rolling shutter system they were very stable and had minimal if any jello effect. This is without any gyro stabilization in our mounts. When we do our final shoots and actually have the stabilization and vibration dampening on our mounts I expect them to preform amazingly. I can't say the same for the other cameras though. Rolling shutter becomes an issue with excessive vibration and camera movement and can create the jello effect. This is especially apparent with the Go Pros and the 5D. The go pros when mounted outside the car jello-ed like crazy…The 5D was usable in some spots and the shot looked beautiful but sometimes the jello-ing was out of control. If we had used the 7D or the 1D Mark IV it might have been better but nothing matched the SI-2K's. We also had the Panasonic AG-3DA1 mounted on the rear spoiler for one of the shots. They call the Panasonic a 3Mos chip, meaning it's a split between CMOS and 3CCD technology. CCD technology doesn't have the rolling shutter system so it wouldn't jello…however that's old technology and almost all new cameras are CMOS. The 3MOS is supposed to bridge the gap. We had the 3DA1 mounted on the tail so this wasn't the best test for it since it was bouncing like crazy, but it gave a great frenetic look to the race and didn't Jello at all, even with all the bouncing. I've heard there were issues with the Cinedeck overheating but we never had a problem with that. It preformed great, was outside the whole day and never overheated. The Cinedeck is AMAZING. I know of no other system that's super compact, lets you ingest, monitor and view looks for your footage. It's certainly worth every penny. The solid state recorder can capture up to 30 minutes of 12-bit RAW 2K or up to two hours of stereo material using the CineFormRAW QuickTime codec. You're going to need to get Cineform software, NEO3D which is first light and Remaster to convert the footage (unless there is another solution by now) an expensive solution, but worth every penny. Download the demo first and try it out. The Neo3D software allows you to color correct and transcode the raw footage and convert it to Cineform or pro res (The demo only allows Cineform).
The Go Pro 3D system when it comes out will be incredible. A small 3D package that can clip on anywhere. I just watched some of the 3D footage coming off the go pro cameras and for that little chip, at times it really is fantastic. Because of the 3D some of the jello issues are minimized. This of course entirely depends on the placement of Go Pro. Try and find a spot that has the least harmonic vibration and it should work well. This of course doesnt have the same resolution, resolve or color space of the Si-2K, but for what you pay for this camera is going to explode on the market. The issues is you have to watch out for vibration. If you mount that Go Pro 3D to the top of the helmet, the footage will be great and will have minimal jello-ing, because the spine will work to dampen vibrations. As long as the drive isn't whipping his head around the footage will work and it will be in 3D (just make sure he looks out towards the track). Hyperstereo distortion should be OK because the interocular distance between the lenses is only an inch or so and that makes for safe 3D. The Go Pro 3D system should be out in January as its only a prototype now.
The Panasonic AG-3DA1 was also used a bunch on the shoot. We only were able to mount it to the car once, just suction cupped to the rear spoiler with no support, framed up on the track behind the car. This of course vibrated like crazy but it gave a really cool mad max like effect when the race cars came zipping behind. This camera was GREAT for shooting on the side of the track though. We filmed the cars zipping around and it felt like if the 1970's had 3D footage, this would be it. With the camera low to the ground the cars racing by you could almost feel them going by you. It's really a great easy camera to shoot 3D with and brings you right into the driving experience. In 2D this all looked great and will cut well into the movie.
Very cool to see Bud's rig 'rigged!' Can't wait for the film.
Whats the documentary called, where i can i find it?
1 Life on the edge. SHould be on netflix now

State Parole Bill Could Have Wide Consequences
Director of the Criminal Justice Center Debbie Mukamal spoke with the Boston Globe's Jonathan Saltzman about different policies among states regarding the ability to reverse parole board decisions:
Legislation in the state Senate to overhaul the parole system would make it harder, if not impossible, for certain offenders to win early release and would sharply limit the discretion of the state Parole Board, according to several criminal justice specialists.
But the measure proposed last Monday by a bipartisan group of senators would not go as far as some states have in recent years, often following heinous crimes by parolees, the specialists said. In Louisiana, for example, applicants are denied parole unless they win the unanimous approval of the board. California is one of five states that empower the governor to reverse parole board decisions.
Some states, including New York, prohibit certain violent offenders from being released early on supervised parole, including some first-time violent offenders, according to Debbie Mukamal, executive director of the Criminal Justice Center at Stanford Law School.
California, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, and Oklahoma authorize the governor to review and reverse parole board decisions, Mukamal said. Critics of that provision in California, which was approved by voters in 1988 and applies only to cases involving convicted murderers, say it has politicized the length of prison terms and increased incarceration costs, as more decisions to grant parole are reversed.
Nineteen states have virtually abolished the system of granting discretionary parole by a board, said Mukamal. Instead, inmates are typically sentenced to a specific number of years in prison but are released early under supervision after serving a percentage of that time, a model similar to the set-up for releasing inmates in the federal prison system.

Rocio Sanchez Lobato was runner-up at the 2012 British Am.
June 13, 2013
Llanelli, U.K. --- Harang Lee, an incoming freshman on the Georgia women's golf team, won a pair of matches at the Ladies British Open Amateur Championship at the Machynys Peninsula Golf and Country Club on Thursday to advance to the round of 16.
Lee, a native of Castro Uridales, Spain, defeated Emma Milsson of Sweden, 3&2, in her first-round match in the morning and returned to the course to top Ileen Domela Nieuwenhuis from the Netherlands, 1-up, in the afternoon.
Lee will now face Csilla Lajtai Rózsa of Hungary on Friday. Lajtai Rózsa reached the third round by upsetting sixth-seeded Celine Boutier of France, who also is a rising sophomore at Duke.
Lee entered match play as the No. 11 seed after shooting consecutive rounds of 73 to tie for ninth in stroke play qualifying contested on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Georgia rising junior Rocio Sanchez Lobato, who was runner-up in last year's British Am, shot 80-75=155 and failed to advance to the match play bracket. Sanchez Lobato's score was two strokes better than what she posted in 2012 but was only good enough to tie for 78th.

Technically Shogun deserved the shot at Liddell, or even Henderson. I mean, Rampage won 4 in a row before the Liddell fight, but they were setting Chuck up to change **** around. I mean, let's face it, though the UFC knows that they can only play around with it for a while, the only thing they really give a **** about is marketability.
Politics aside, I can't see Forrest doing much either. I mean, yeah, he beat Rua, but everyone knows Rua wasn't ready for that match. Then again, any fighter in that class should probably keep at or close to their best at all times right?
So, what would you think about a rematch against Sakuraba? I think Q's ready for him.

Oliver is in running for award
Posted: September 27, 2013|
Oliver has been nominated for the category of "Innovation within Sense" for his specially designed foot rest for his brother, Daniel, who is deafblind with additional needs.
The foot rest allows Daniel to travel safely and comfortably in a minibus. Oliver, who is an engineer by trade, designed the foot rest so that it can be easily and safely locked down in the minibus when Daniel goes on a trip but can also be removed so that others can use the bus.
Oliver will find out if he has won at a special ceremony in London on September 30.

Dust off your ukeleles, practice your jazz hands and stock up on insulin, because both Zooey Deschanel and Karmin are bringing their bright-eyed adorableness to Saturday Night Live next month. It was announced today that the stage at 30 Rock will feature The New Girl star, the hyper-upbeat YouTube sensations and their eerily similar brand of retro-sweetness on February 11. Meanwhile, Channing Tatum will host the week prior on February 4, though there's no way he could possibly look as good in a Peter Pan collar and a Bump-It. Well…maybe if he was wearing just a Peter Pan collar and a Bump-It.
The combination of Deschanel's tweeness and Karmin frontwoman Amy Heidemann's infinity smiles makes us more than a little worried that SNL will transform into the Happy Sunshine Glitter Tap Dance Hour (trademark pending) for the night. But would that really be so wrong? Other than the number of hair bows we'll have to see on a grown woman, would that really be so wrong? Maybe we can get both Zooey and Amy in a I Love Lucy sketch? Amy does mug to the camera like a overcaffeinated brunette Lucille Ball…which would make Zooey Ethel. We don't mean that as an insult, Zooey. We mean that as an honor.
