After yesterday's seven-inning, no-run (earned, at least) gem against the Cardinals dropped Hyun Jin Ryu's ERA below 3.00, it got me thinking about Don Mattingly's recent comments that he was underrated in the Rookie Of The Year chase. As far as Ryu's rookie-of-the-year candidacy, it has the backing of Manager Don Mattingly. "I think he should be considered," Mattingly said. ... Read More »
Kershaw, Ryu, Puig headline Dodgers representation in Baseball America's 'Best Tools' poll
Baseball America recently polled managers from the MLB to A-ball, asking them to name the top players in their league in various categories. Players in the Dodgers organization were named 10 times throughout the poll, which actually is a bit disappointing, all things considered. —– At the highest level, Dodgers players were named six times by big-league managers, led by ...

Yasiel Puig's grand slam leads to Kershaw disbelief, swimming with Ryu, and public bath from Cruz
So … about that Yasiel Puig hype … yeah, it's not gonna die down anytime soon, as he just hit a grand slam to give the Dodgers a five-run cushion heading into the ninth inning. Clayton Kershaw, thoughts? Basically. Hyun Jin Ryu loves swimming with him. And Luis Cruz gives him a public shower for his efforts. Read More »
Lilly gets bowled over, Ryu celebrates with Cruz & Uribe, Quentin throws a fitting tantrum
So yeah, along with this fail throw, that GIF above about sums up Ted Lilly's night for the Dodgers… …but those GIFS (and the ones with Yasiel Puig) sum up the overall evening for the team. By far the best part? Even though Carlos Quentin did homer, here's how the game ended: Carlos Quentin losing his temper? Well I'll be. Read More »
Yasiel Puig GIF recap day two, the magical Bay of Puigs
I figured that after last night's ending, it might be a while until Yasiel Puig generates more magic for the team. After all, he's still just a 22 years old with close to zero experience. However, he decided that he was having none of that and furthered his legend by hitting two bombs and a double. Thoughts, dugout? Yeah, that ... Read More »
Injury Roll Call: Hanley exchanges places with Capuano, Ryu set for Friday, Elbert has setback
Hanley Ramirez returned from the DL Tuesday, with Chris Capuano being placed on the 15-day disabled list in a corresponding move. Ramirez completed a rehab assignment that saw him play three games to complete his recovery from a hamstring injury. Ramirez, who hasn't played since suffering the injury on May 3rd, appeared in a pair of games for the Quakes ... Read More »
Injury Roll Call: Kemp looking at DL minimum, Hanley few games away, Beckett's future in doubt
It's been a tough week for Matt Kemp, injury-wise. First, he was hit on the right elbow by a pitch and had to be removed later in that game due to numbness. For the second time in four days, Matt Kemp was replaced by Skip Schumaker in center field during the game. But on Tuesday against the Angels, the ninth ... Read More »
After Matt Kemp, Hyun Jin Ryu latest Dodger to do cool thing for fan
Hyun Jin Ryu was captured playing catch with a boy, only known to me as "Deuce", in the stands during batting practice. After Matt Kemp made headlines everywhere for being a great guy, something he's done before, Ryu once again brings positive headlines to the Dodgers for off-the-field reasons. In what has been a horrible 2013 thus far for the ... Read More »
Hyun Jin Ryu cares not for your concept of hustle … and he has a point
Hyun Jin Ryu made his Dodgers and MLB debut yesterday, and in the bottom of the six inning he came to bat and did … well … that. Some people on Twitter didn't take too kindly to him dogging it, and the fans at the field booed him for it, but most importantly, the dugout didn't seem to appreciate it, ... Read More »
Around The Web: Puig perspective, Ethier platoon, Guggenheim investigated, Umpires improve
Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness: Arguing for patience and perspective regarding Yasiel Puig.

ZiPS projects the 2013 Dodgers: Good but not great
The 2013 projection for the Dodgers from Dan Szymborski's ZiPS system was released last week, and given that it's probably my favorite forecasting tool, it's worth a look to see how the team fared. Forecasting is not a complete science, obviously, and I'll address some of the potential pitfalls as we go along, but it's better to use objective tools ... Read More »
Making Moves: Ely Dealt For Rasmussen, Van Slyke Outrighted, McPherson Signed
The Dodgers have dealt John Ely to the Astros in exchange for minor-league lefty Rob Rasmussen. Rasmussen, a SoCal native and UCLA graduate, was selected by the Dodgers in the 27th round of the 2007 draft but declined to sign and instead became a Bruin. He was drafted by the Marlins in the 2nd round of the 2010 draft and ... Read More »
Making Moves: Dodgers Sign Zack Greinke & Hyun Jin Ryu, Lose Alfredo Silverio
Zack Greinke and the Dodgers have agreed to a 6-year, $147 million mega-deal, the largest in MLB history for a righty and one that makes him the highest-paid pitcher on an average annual value basis. Greinke slots in behind Clayton Kershaw in the rotation and gives the Dodgers a formidable 1-2 punch while lengthening the staff. Speaking of Kershaw, he ... Read More »
Dodgers sign Hyun Jin Ryu to 6-year/$36 million contract
After expected rumors of the Dodgers and Hyun Jin Ryu's agent Scott Boras being far apart, the two sides eventually agreed to a contract worth $36 million over a six-year span, according to Jon Heyman. As far as incentives go, Ryu can earn up to $1 million per year based on innings pitched and can increase his base salary (via ... Read More »
2012 Winter Meetings: Everybody waits on Greinke, Dee trade talks, no Ryu progress
The Zack Greinke saga is the story of the Winter Meetings, not only because he's the top free agent out there, but also because he's holding up the deals of other free agents, as they're all waiting on him. Whatever he decides, it figures to be at least borderline historical, as Jon Heyman notes. Strong belief by people close to ... Read More »

A couple of days ago I asked if MyBlogLog was still relevant to the SEO community. The response to the question was pretty much as expected with people not really using MBL as much as they might have a few months ago. I still use the site and thought I'd explain why I still log and and out of MyBlogLog most days and how I see it as beneficial for my blog.
You can tell from the title of this post how I use MyBlogLog, but before getting to the how and why let me point you to David's comment from my previous post.
I too have fallen away off the MyBlogLog bandwagon even though I was an advocate before. I have too many communities (no way to sort and group as far as I can tell). Also has gotten very spammy with people's comments; come see my blog, yet the don't even look at mine.
I agree completely with David's assessment. There isn't any good way to sort through your communities or the communities of others. The same can be said for your friends and the friends of others. The only way I can see to look through either is to display them all and check them out one by one. I also agree about the spammy comments. I don't need to see people pushing their site at me without at least taking the time to visit here. It's spam pure and simple.
In another comment from the previous post Kristine brought up the traffic MBL may send
As to whether or not it brings me traffic, that's hard to say. I'd say it probably hasn't done a whole lot, but I'm not really sure what would be better.
MyBlogLog doesn't send a lot of traffic here either Kristine. Here are the numbers for the year.
Assuming I haven't forgotten the basic math I learned in elementary school that's a 118 visits in almost 9 months or about 13 visits a month. Hardly worth writing about. Admittedly I've never promoted myself much through the MyBlogLog. I've seen others mention they receive a lot more traffic through MBL than I have and I suspect if I was so inclined I could increase the numbers above. I've never been all that inclined, though.
My guess is most people see MyBlogLog the same way David and Kristine do. MBL doesn't really foster community and for me at least it's not driving meaningful traffic.
Branding Your Blog With A Cookie
There is one way I think MyBlogLog provides benefit. It can be used as an aid to branding your blog. There are two main components of branding.
- The associations people make with your name
- The reach of those associations
MyBlog Log isn't going to help much with the former, but it's easy enough to use to help with the latter. Every day before my usual travels through the blogosphere I log in to MBL and back out. I log in to get the cookie from the site that tracks my travels. I log in only because I delete the cookie later in the day when I no longer feel like being tracked and need to grab it anew.
While I'm there I do look at who visited recently and check the stats quick, but the main reason for logging in is to get a cookie. All told the time spent is less than a minute and I could reduce that time to nothing, by holding on to the cookie at the end of the day.
You still see a large number of blogs using the recent visitors widget. Not as many as you saw six months ago, but the widget is still commonly present. I think about half the blogs I visit daily are using it. As long as you visit a blog with the MBL cookie your avatar will appear in the widget. Every time it does is another opportunity for someone to notice you.
I don't know how you would track your avatar recognition, but I can tell you I notice them. When I see the same avatar a few times I get curious and while I won't often click back to MyBlogLog the avatar does make an impression. I've noticed that same avatar in forum posts and in the bio on blog posts. I do end up paying more attention to the forum and blog posts once the avatar has made an impression on me. There are even a few blogs calling me a subscriber that first came to my attention through a MyBlogLog avatar. I suspect there are others with the same experience.
Some blogs will also display your avatar next to your comment should you leave one on a post. It's another way to connect the avatar to your thoughts and to you.
As a blogger I tend to notice the avatars of the people visiting here. When MyBlogLog had more buzz a few months ago Michael Jensen of Solo SEO created The Missing MyBlogLog Tools to get more out of the site. Periodically I use the Show All Visitors tool to see who's visited my blog recently.
Not everyone who visits your blog regularly will comment. Being able to see who's visiting through the avatars can give you some added information about your readers. I do pay attention to who visits and have been thinking of some way to thank those people to let them know I appreciate the time they spend here. Without MyBlogLog I would have no way of knowing some of the people who are visiting.
Besides regular readers you can use the recent visitor widget to see if someone visits when you link to them. Most bloggers will usually follow a link back to your site, but the avatar helps show who does and even how quickly. If part of the reason you linked to someone was to try to get their attention here's one more way you can measure your success.
Many of us know each other only through our avatars. How many people do you come into contact each day that you've never met in person? When you think of them what image comes to mind? Is it their avatar? MyBlogLog gives you a chance to get that avatar in front of more people. And when you consider the minimal amount of effort you have to spend to make that happen it makes sense to me to log into MyBlogLog regularly.
Suggestions For Improving MyBlogLog
I'll be the first to say I find little on the MyBlogLog site itself to keep me logged in for any length of time. From the first the site came across as most people there were far more interested in promoting themselves than they were in connecting with other blogs or bloggers. The site doesn't really make it all that easy to find blogs you might be interested in or connect with others in any meaningful way.
If Yahoo is smart they would change that and make it easy and fun for people to interact with each other on the site. There are more than enough social networking sites for Yahoo to use as an example. Bloggers are a conversational group by nature. It's what we do and if you give us better tools to connect with each other it's likely we will.
MyBlogLog could add better search features and better ways to organize communities. Maybe a way to search individual posts instead of only members and communities. How about something as simple as a tag cloud to view communities?
I'd like to see more ranking of blogs. Instead of displaying the communities you've joined randomly in your profile why not display them in the order you visit most or which you spend the most time visiting? Why not display the members of a community the same way? Whoever visits a particular blog the most has their avatar showing as the first under that community.
More prominence and more visibility should lead to more clicks and more traffic. Bloggers are friendly, but we're also competitive. If spending more time on your blog means I have a better chance of getting people to visit my blog I'll probably spend more time on yours. Besides a MyBlogLog algorithm gives us one more algorithm to try to figure out and talk about and teach each other about. Think of all that publicity for MyBlogLog.
Why not offer the the pro stats for free. Yahoo would profit more from all of us checking our stats than they likely do now from getting a few to pay for them. Yahoo have you noticed how Google gives everything away for free? Have you noticed how that keeps more people tied to using Google's search engine?
How about opening up the site to developers. Does MyBlogLog have an API? If not why? Give developers a way to improve the site and they will. Look what it's doing for Facebook. Since the majority of MyBlogLog members have blogs why not offer a way to find guest bloggers or guest blogging gigs?
I agree that MyBlogLog has lost whatever cachet they once had. I'm surprised it's dropped so low on the radar, but I'm not surprised it's dropped. I still think MyBlogLog has potential for bloggers to extend the reach of their brand, though that will dwindle if MyBlogLog loses more of its user base. Hopefully Yahoo will begin to make improvements to the site now that it's been integrated with Yahoo IDs. Yahoo is not winning the search war, but they do have enough social properties to keep people on Yahoo.
Do you think MyBlogLog can attract the community back? What would you like to see them do? How would you like to see MyBlogLog integrated with other Yahoo properties?

A Bible = Changed Lives
The children looked longingly at the colorful stacks of Bibles in front of them and could hardly wait to lay their hands on one. The noises gradually fell to soft whispers when the first name was called out.
It's Called "Walking" Street!
Walking Street is a place in Chiang Mai where local vendors hawk their wares. My family and I thought we would take a few hours, see what it was all about and then head to church. We were wrong.
What's worse than a traffic jam after a professional sporting event? A people jam after Loy Krathong!
At the age of 84, Richard had to move to a retirement village where there are people who can assist him. He had to leave his cats and his familiar life behind, so the only thing he had left was his sponsored child. Richard longs to receive letters from his "grandson."

For every job created by "green energy" how many are being lost? 10? 20? 50? Coal mines being shut down, coal fired plants being shut down, oil drilling being shut down or being strangled by excessive regulation! High gas prices, ridiculous mpg mandates, the price tag on "green" cars!! The "green" dream is and will turn into a American nightmare!!
spartanshoes: When did California become a state of "southern rednecks"? Once again, name one state that has voted "yes" on gay marriage? P.S. You do know what a majority is, right?
Gays are not being denied any rights! What the gay community wants to do is hijack the word "marriage" in a vain attempt to validate their lifestyle choice!
In every state that has put gay "marriage" on the ballot the people have said "no thanks"! It's pretty clear were the majority of Americans stand on the issue!
Attention all shambling zombies who follow the self interest of the MEA: The majority of the 1.5 billion in tax breaks was given to businesses that were designated as "small business", not corporations! Let's use Barack's own way of calcuation, how many jobs were "saved" because of the tax breaks? The MEA could care less, as long as they achieve their own self interest, anyone who disagrees can take a flying leap into the unemployment line!!
It's not "racism", it's not "union busting", it's called "we have no money (but can't stop spending)"! It would appear that those who trumpet the liberal mating call suffer from a severe affliction known as "commonsenseitis"!!
What's shameful is the minority (once again) trying to force their agenda on the majority! Name one state who had gay "marriage" on the ballot and it passed! The only time the majority isn't the majority is when liberals don't like the results!
Every state that has put gay "marriage" on the ballot has seen the people emphatically say no! The states that have approved gay "marriage" did so by dismissing the majority vote (or not having a vote at all) and have had liberal legislatures and activist judges impose their agenda on the majority It is very clear the majority has spoken, the proponents of gay "marriage" just don't like the answer!
Let's see, doesn't remember much from his last 2 yrs. of h.s. due to alcohol and drugs! Associated with radicals, terrorists and general nutjobsI it's a mystery how he got into Harvard or what his grades were! A rabble rouser in Chicago! Didn't have the qualifications to be a senator let alone POTUS! When he's not fibbing he's deceiving! If a 10 yr. old had vetted him instead of the slobbering media he'd still be in the Senate voting "present"! Barack Hussein Obama! What a great guy!
Yep, and when Barack flip flops the leftist loving media calls it "evolving"!
Here is a breaking news story! Mitt Romney pulled Suzy Smith's hair when he was 8 yrs. old! More earth shattering details to follow!
It's just a distraction!! Barack will say and do just about anything to prevent serious discussion on his failed leftist policies!!
If the Barack worshipping media had done even a tepid vetting of Barack he'd still be voting "present"!!
This is just the begining! The leftists are desperate, they know Barack can't run on his "record" so they fall back to their comfort zone of mudslinging!!
What a pity, another RINO bites the dust!! Ever notice that leftists (like Susan) are only interested in "compromise" when their not in total power? Ever notice that leftists (like Susan) scream "obstructionism" when someone doesn't embrace their harebrained schemes?
The writer states "....a financial crisis not entirely of the city's making...." and then swerves into the "greed and corrupt practices of the nation's banks...." rhetoric! Sorry James, but Flint's demise (30 yrs. in the making) was the "greed and corrupt practices of the city's so called leaders"! Flint's fate was sealed years before 2008, they just kept spending like it was always 1971!
"....fiercely anti-MEA Republican legislature...." Gee Tim, why don't you tell us how you really feel? All Tim is missing is a cute cheerleading uniform with a big"D" on it!
E.SideResident: Should we do away with all words that you misconstrue? It's not the word, it's the context in which it's used! Congratulations! You're this weeks winner of the most absurd post!
Three things guaranteed in life: 1) You're born 2) You'll die 3) Democrats and their never ending quest to take money from A and give it to B (not to mention picking up some votes along the way)!
Let Flint kick out the EFM! Let Flint dig out from under the mess they created on their own! Oh, one stipulation! They get no state or federal monies until they learn what the word "balanced" means in a balnced budget!

Wishing We'd Worked on Penmanship Skills
This was an unexpected development.
Had I known my boys' penmanship would come into play on this book trip, I might've spent a few weeks drilling before we left.
But at least I can tell myself the following:
1. They're boys.
2. They don't have much practice writing with Sharpies.
3. We don't generally practice handwriting with the books balanced on their knees.
4. Their hands were cold from the near-freezing temperature outside.
5. They have arthur-itis.
6. They were nervous.
7. They'd had too much coffee and were shaking.
8. They're boys.
Anything to make me feel better about our homeschooling progress.
(Lengthy update coming later this morning. Warning: it involves blood, sweat, tears, sex, drugs (well, Advil), rock-and-roll, and a purple velvet Prince jacket.)
(I haven't figured out how to type that Artist Formerly Known As symbol. I don't think my keyboard is capable of those characters.)

Hey, I was happy that they signed my cookbook, too.
Last night's signing was a blast. Thanks for coming to St. Louis!
Sara Mc On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:36 am
You can rest easy – I think he's back to being called Prince and not using that ridiculous symbol.
Bludog On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:37 am
His retinue used to refer to him as "The Artist," or perhaps you could just call him "(glyph)."
I think I spied that purple velvet jacket in yesterday's picture…
You're going to be here (Chicago) tomorrow night, but I think I'll have to miss it. I looks like you are drawing some HUGE crowds. However, this post has given me an idea – perhaps I'll just scribble on the book with a Sharpie and claim that I had one of the boys sign it!
Brigid of Calif On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:38 am
That adorable little boy signing the book looks soooo like his father!
diamondkelt On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:38 am
How cute
Mamaphunk On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:39 am
He signed my book last night and I was SO IMPRESSED with his sweetness and diligence. He didn't stand around and chat, he moved on with his Sharpie like this was old business and made sure that he signed everyone's book!
Ronna Hamelin On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:39 am
I love your site, but I sometimes wonder when it became socially acceptable to once again segregate boys and girls by things they can and can't do…handwriting? I am concerned when those stereotypes are again perpetuated like it is 1960.
Susan's Snippets On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:41 am
My 35 year old brother STILL writes like a Chimp!! Hopefully you have/are arriving safely into this cold, wet, gray Windy City!!

thank you so much for sharing you and your family with everyone in St. Louis, you were wonderful. your boys were just being boys and everyone understood they were just having fun, the book signing from Bryce was great, he saw mom and dad doing it so why not him too! THANK YOU again. Betsy the sister from IL.

YIPPPEEEE! I just looked at the book tour dates and realized I am going to be in NYC during your book tour!!!! Who would think a ranching girl from New Mexico would be able to meet up with a ranching girl from OK at a book signing in the big city!!!! Rockettes anyone?
newcountrygirl On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:43 am
They are sure cute. I can't wait for an update.
Rachel A On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:44 am
Had a great time last night in STL. You & your family are so sweet & nice. Thanks for the t-shirt!! That's awesome! My daughters are already salivating over the picture of the cinnamon rolls on the back cover of the cookbook. Looks like I'll be making those soon.. ha! Thanks again!
JENSAMOM23 On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:51 am
Love it and can't wait to hear the coming tale!
cheesecakemaster On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:53 am
I loved their signatures! I have theirs and MM's and of course. . yours!
FYI- about the buttoning shirts all the way up, my 10 year old son buttons ALL of his shirts all the way up. . .even polos! I think it is just a personality thing.
Peachy On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:56 am
Boys! That is the answer. Sometimes it gets better. Sometimes it doesn't. Shooting 50/50 with my 2.
Emily Barklage On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:57 am
I was pretty far back in the signing last night and I missed Bryce so when I asked him to sign my book right after I met you he said, "Do I HAVE to?! He will! (pointing to his brother)" LOL! Lil bro shook his head no too. Which was quite alright with me.
Thanks so much for the T-shirt – how generous! Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make any of the recipes in your book if I intend on wearing it!!
Luscious Liz On Wednesday, November 18 at 11:59 am
OMG- The child is a Mini Me of Marlboro Man. Those eyes. Is the buttoned up shirt a cowboy thing???? Precious I want one!!!
They must have felt very special to be with you and have someone give them special attention.The rest of your book signings will now be filled with sweet little girls wanting to see the Punks!
Kara Joy On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:00 pm
He's gone back to being known as Prince anyways,… lol
Pam D On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:01 pm
I'm hoping that the boys have nothing to do with the pending update. Or we all may be visiting YOU in jail. Just sayin'. Seriously, do we get another "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" heart-fluttering edition? Oh, how I love those….
cath c On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:02 pm
has nothing to do with boy or girl. i still have horrendous penmanship, and i taught plenty of boys with beautiful penmanship.

the coffee content, on the other hand….
Robyn On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:03 pm
Prince is Prince again, not the artist, the artist formerly known as Prince, or the wacky symbol. His contractual agreement with the record company that was preventing him from doing anything as Prince is up.
Lori On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:03 pm
My two oldest are girls and I can say that there is a definite difference between the way a girl writes and the way a boy writes. I taught them all the same way and sometimes I have to ask my son "What is this???" He definitely makes life more interesting!!!
Katie On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:06 pm
I love it! They're itty bitty celebrities!
Nancy from Indiana On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:08 pm
I would not worry a wit about it. Whose r we to saay anything bout it!
Love em and hug em
Natasha P. On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:09 pm
I think Prince is going by Prince again so you're good.
Kay Gilbert On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:09 pm
I had my oldest son tutored in handwriting when he was in third grade. His teacher (not his tutor) finally told me I was wasting my money! He is 21 and you still can't read his writing. My 17 yr. old son's handwriting looks like a machine has printed it. Go figure!

We SO enjoyed meeting you last night! It was the highlight of our week!! The boys were too cute, B signed my book right above your signature. My boys thought that was pretty neat! BTW, did you know we were the first ones there, around 3:30? lol. Completely worth the wait! Your hand has to be cramping. Thanks for the t-shirt!!
Gail On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:15 pm
Thanks so much for sharing the stories and pictures of your book tour.
Anonymous On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:16 pm
My 21-year-old STILL has the worst penmanship. Usually it doesn't matter because he uses his computer to write and take class notes. However, I feel for his professors at exam time!
KathyinOR On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:17 pm
Don't worry about the symbol – I seem to remember that Prince has dropped that. I guess it was too tricky for him too

sex talk. You got something to say about sex. Yep I wanna hear this. I just remember what it is, and having a huge hotel suite might help the memories, no I am lactating why do you ask :p
Kris the Colts fan On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:18 pm
What fun for the boys! I think they'll always remember this.
Heidi Malott On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:20 pm
I love it! Did they like have fun or did it feel like Homework?
Shannon W. of WA On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:21 pm
You can breathe easy sister because Prince is going by Prince these days. No more of that Artist Formerly Known As nonsense. Looking forward to hearing more about your book tour antics with the boys!
Melissa On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:24 pm
I thought that was precious. One of my favorite parts of the evening in KC was looking at your littlest guy, who crawled over me about twelve times to get to some pretty brunettes in our row (lady killer!), and seeing the black sharpie marks on the side of his cheeks! These are memories that really make life special, for all involved. I took my mom to the KC Unity Temple Event and we had a blast – I will cherish that memory forever. Thank you for sharing your family and your time with us.
Miz Booshay On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:25 pm
You continue to homeschool on the road.
They are getting the very best penmanship practice. :o)
Rubber meets the road, baybee!
LBDDiaries On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:26 pm
I liked your purple jacket – it photographed well! Can't wait for the bloody, tearful, drug-induced details!
Cate On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:26 pm
Some schools have abandoned penmanship for keyboarding…
My handwriting is no kudo for having penmanship in school [back in the pre-dark ages ]
the inadvertent farmer On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:28 pm
Boys and Sharpies…a match made in…well its not heaven!
Mama M. On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:30 pm
Don't worry…he goes by Prince now…again! No more freaky symbol! Looking forward to your MN visit, Prince and I are!
georgie On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:31 pm
if it makes you feel any better my son is 14 and still writes like he is kindergarten…
cant wait to read all about your escapades
Clayvessel On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:31 pm
He looks so cute! So serious and like his daddy!
Mariah On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:33 pm
He is so cute, I wish I'd been there I so would have wanted him to sign my book
cheramie On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:34 pm
so cute! just wanted to say i love your cookbook. i made migas a few nights ago and loved it! it had so much flavor! i'm excited to try all of your other recipes.
Sherri On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:36 pm
We just got our "tickets" for Nashville, driving up from Huntsville, AL…I had a dream last night that you weren't nice to us and the whole pioneer woman thing was a scam…you really are still in those high heels aren't you?
I'm blaming it on the glass of wine I had! Please bring Marlboro Man to Nashville
Carole On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:37 pm
This is my daughter's shortcoming too -the penmanship just never took off. I kept thinking it'd catch up to her when she had to write checks, but she just got a debit card.
She may never learn to write.
remouladesauce On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:37 pm
My son would think this was fun for about 5 minutes.
PS – Prince was know as The Sign and now he's back to Prince again
love 80's fashion
robin On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:38 pm
wahoo!!! we had soooo much fun last night!!! it was totally the cutest, ahem i mean coolest thing ever when your son bryce started walking down the line signing books! he was so cool and poised, he didn't even ask if you wanted his autograph he just assumed you would and was gracious enough to induldge us swooning fans! it was great!!! and btw, his handwriting was perfectly ledgible on both my (your) book and my daughter's hand! (her father would like a word with your young man about his intentions…jk) and i thought your jacket (and whole outfit) was amazing!!! i'd wear it everyday too!!! you guys are all so wonderful! thanks so much!!!
Elizabeth Simmons On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:40 pm
Can't wait for the extended version!!
Did you read the comment from above that her daughter wants to "mawwy" your son??! That is adorable!!
Continued travel mercies for you and yours,
Screwed Up Texan On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:40 pm
Sex? Oh this should be interesting.
Kathy On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:42 pm
We had such a good time at the signing last night. Your boys were having a great time. The best part was when they decided to climb up on the pulpit to check it out. Great to meet you and your wonderful family. You can really see the love between you all. I got some great pictures of you and MM, the boys were harder, because they never stopped moving. Bryce was so polite when signing the books and working the crowd. He's a little charmer alright! Thanks for bringing them and for the shirt. Hope to someday meet your girls too. (When I win a visit to the Lodge!)
Kari On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:45 pm
Both my boys have terrible handwriting (and so does their dad!)
I'm looking forward to hearing about sex, drugs, rock-and-roll, and a purple velvet Prince jacket – I don't think you've covered those topics before. I'm used to blood, sweat, and tears with you
Angela On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:45 pm
I think you're boys are normal! Both of my boys have horrid penmanship! A friend of mine had her books signed in KC by you and your boys and she thought it was the swetest thing ever!
Paula On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:46 pm
The boys were so cute last night, I got a great picture of one of them sliding down the banister on the alter….right before the mean guard made them stop! I'll post it on facebook. I watched the little punk work the crowd, too, too cute!
Jillian On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:49 pm
Looks like great fun!
Sarah On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:49 pm
Just got my cookbook last night and I love it! Of course there was no doubt that I would. I'm hoping to come to your signing when you are in Atlanta. And, if the boys are with you, I'd love to have them sign my book. Bad penmanship and all.
susan On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:50 pm
From what i've seen from everybody's blog posts about your hubby signing their books, his penmanship is wonderful! Your boys are young. Just remind yourself that they can already DRIVE CARS and such. Penmanship will come as needed :O)
susan On Wednesday, November 18 at 12:52 pm
This picture is so cute, by the way. I know my son would be ecstatic to be signing his name for people. I'd probably be more worried about his ballooning ego than his penmanship, but I know what your point was :O)
Margaret Barry On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:02 pm
That buttoned up shirt just kills me…too cute!
Siobhan On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:02 pm
This is getting to a fever pitch. Why oh why do I have to work on Sunday? I need to get to Torrance somehow! Do you think you'll swing through LA again possibly? A girl has to dream about somethin…
Christy B On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:02 pm
If it makes you feel any better, after a few signatures they got tired of writing out the whole name and resorted to initials and smiley faces. They were so cute!
Meagan with an A On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:03 pm
The Punk's autograph in my book looks strikingly similar to my grown-up fiance's handwritng, if it makes you feel any better.
Katie (The Life of a Firefighter's Wife) On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:04 pm
Hmmm… curious about this coming update….
Momdiggity On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:04 pm
Todd signed my friend's book and it was absolutely adorable. He was very diligent through the process (which took about two minutes). He was a doll.
Susan Lee On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:06 pm
Both of my boys (adults now) have pretty bad penmanship. (I beleive it is inheirited from my husband because his is not the best, either!). But they are all successfully employed, and it has never been an issue, thanks to computers, no doubt.
On a side note, my husband and boys will be in Minneapolis this weekend for the Viking/Seahawk game on Sunday. (We're from Tacoma, Wa.) They are staying near the Mall of America, WHERE YOU WILL BE SIGNING BOOKS that Saturday!! So my husband said he would go there for me, (while his sons and buddies will most likely be at some watering hole making fun of him…) Ahh, what a guy!! Be nice to him, Ree!!
Denise Lamb On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:07 pm
Wish you were coming to LI.
Looks like you and your family are having a great time on your tour.
Stephanie S On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:10 pm
They did great last night!! Although when we got him talking the penmanship began to wobble! It was great to meet you last night….hope you got out of there at a decent time!
Enid Martindale On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:12 pm
They ARE practicing penmanship – don't forget to count it in your records! Oh, they are SO absolutely adorable!
Julie On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:12 pm
I never focused much on penmanship in homeschooling with my kids. My daughter, because she's artys, developed a nice style. My son, not so much. I just say, 'hey, one day he's going to be Dr."
Tamara On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:13 pm
Your boys are adorable! I read about your *2* events in Kansas City on another blog, and she was really excited to see your punks. Fantastic!
Linda M. On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:13 pm
Oh Ree…….I'm afraid I start all my posts with that now……I always made my boys hand write thank you notes at Christmas their birthdays & finally at their finishing school,high school & beyond……..ONE continues this pratice, ONE is a teacher & has learned to print very nice & ONE does none of the above……but ALL of them write exactly like their father ………so what's a gal to do?? It is what it is with the boys………the big ones too………you're doing a fine job, please don't worry.
sheryl On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:15 pm
Would love to see a update from Bartlesville!!
Emily On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:18 pm
I love the buttoned up look you oldest is wearing. My oldest went through that stage. He is now 14 and thank God that he is over it. They grow up to fast. Embrace the nerdy look.
brooke On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:20 pm
sounds like a great new homeschooling lesson…"book-signing". i'm sure it'll come in handy later, considering their mama's mad skills! =)
kim-d On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:22 pm
He is SO STINKIN' CUTE, I just can't stand it! In the picture from yesterday, is he tying your hair in a knot? Again, SO CUTE.
Who are you bringing with you when you come to the Mall of America? I'm hoping you bring the whole family…including Missy and your MIL. I don't ask for much…:)
Owengirl79 On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:23 pm
Those boys are so cute it makes my nonexistent uterus hurt!
Sandy On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:24 pm
Too cute, He looks so intent. I love it!
Bob Hayles On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:28 pm
#41…thanks…figgerin' that one out gave me a headache…and no comments about how if your head looked like mine it would hurt too.
Great job Ree…the book, the boys, the blog, everything.
ALWAYS tell every elected official you see…"We don't work for you. You work for us."
Lisa On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:29 pm
Okay, it isn't a competition, but it restores my faith in the real American people to know your cookbook is/was/will be at least as popular (and waaaay more interesting!) than Sarah's. Over her — bigtime.
you are a nice person, PW…..just sayin'
skwishface On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:31 pm
I think Prince is back to being "Prince" again. Not The Artist.
So I suppose you could call him The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.
Patricia On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:32 pm
They're Boys !
Tammy at The Butterfly Mind On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:34 pm
They're boys. They're kids. They're signatures will be worth millions years from now. Or not.
Kelly On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:35 pm
Looks like you are all having an adventure!
Missy Rae On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:38 pm
here's how you do the prince symbol: O-+>
winnie On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:39 pm
The way to get the former symbol used by Prince is to grab it as a graphic. I'm pretty sure it's available online somewhere. Yeah, your keyboard won't have it normally unless it's a wingding in some font.
Have fun, I think the boys are!
TheMightyMom On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:40 pm
If the sex part involves pics of the pizza menu in the rooms at the Hyatt Regency, I should warn you, I already posted about it on my blog! LOL!
I'm sure all the book signatures will be loved no matter how good they are!
Carla On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:45 pm
Um… I have a 26 year old husband who has terrible handwriting.
Must be that Y chromosome.
Lori On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:46 pm
Can't wait to see you in Mpls this weekend!
Tonya On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:47 pm
What a cutie pie.
Oh, he's back to calling himself Prince, now.
Marie M. On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:52 pm
Kids today don't write, they print. We spent years practicing our Palmer cursive. No one does anymore. They don't have to. They're all texting.
Although I can only see the back — your top is gorgeous. De-vine. De-lovely. Delicious. Perfect color for you. Wear it everywhere so everyone gets to see it. Please.
Nancy On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:52 pm
Thank you for sharing last night at the booksigning. I apologize for not being able to stay and personally get my booked signed but as I stated earlier your help in diagnosing my husbands condition, LBSCBDO, says it all – he was HUNGRY. I did leave my book for your signature and was one of the lucky ones to get Bryce to sign his name. The concentration on his face was adorable as he printed each and every letter.
Thank you again, I really appreciate you taking time away from the Ranch to visit with everyone.
Take care and hope your family has a wonderful holiday!
If you ever get the time and would like to stop by my "ranch" here is the addy
– my policy is the door is always open and the coffee is always hot except on Friday when we have Margaritaville Friday – It's 5:00 somewhere right? Would be honored if you stopped by for a visit – One okie to another.
Heather On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:52 pm
My boyfriend strangely has good handwriting… but most boys don't!!! I love Prince!! Can't wait for the new update!
Journaling Woman On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:53 pm
What about me? I'm not a boy or a physician and my penmanship is…not good.
Didn't I hear somewhere that creative people have bad penmanship? Yes I did. Uh huh.
lil ol me On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:53 pm
I think he's officially back to just Prince. I would love to have dinner with Prince, PW/MM, Alice Waters, David Lebovitz, Emily Luchetti and Cormac McCarthy. Afterward, we could dance like it was 1982. That should cover the sweat and tears… if only tears due to laughter! I look forward to the treat of more of your writing later today. Have a lovely day!
Robynn's Ravings On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:56 pm
Dear Ree~
I heard that your boys also signed my book. Can't WAIT to see it and their little guy handwriting will make it even more special. And MM, too? I feel like part of the family. I'll be coming to stay for the summer. Just a heads up.
two guys a girl and a weiner dog On Wednesday, November 18 at 1:58 pm
Thank you, Ree, for a fun evening!! My daughter had so much fun playing with your boys–she was asleep in the truck before we got to the highway! And she had to bring our copy of the book to school this morning.
Have a safe rest-of-your-trip.
Kate-mom of the twins
Sue in DE On Wednesday, November 18 at 2:02 pm
Those two little boy punks are the cutests lil' things. Bryce all buttoned up and serious is just a lil' MM all over! My heart is plumb broke. I was going to come see you in West Chester on Dec. 13–it's only a couple hours from here–but my husband's family decided THAT'S the day they're having our family Christmas get-to-gether. Here. Nooooooooooo! =( Maybe the tour will expand and you'll come to Baltimore or D.C… (she said hopefully)
Dandy On Wednesday, November 18 at 2:04 pm
Are those punks matching?!

bees drunk on warm pollen below an autumn sunrise ~ a cat yowls next door
bees drunk on warm pollen below an autumn sunrise ~ a cat yowls next door
Wow, a really nice photo!
Thank you. So glad you think so !!!!
… ya … spring just starting here … cum over here, Jo, so we can sit on my porch and yowl with the coyotees … smile … Love, cat.
Coyotes…ummmm…NO !!!!!
Nice one Jo!!! :)
Thanks Izaak.
Are you guys over The Ditch having the same problems with the bee virus, Jo ? Gorgeous photo, btw – love it !
We have a mite that is causing terrible havoc here.
A MITE ?! Poor bees ! – poor beautiful bees ! Not just viruses but mites as well … We could all be in deep shit if this isn't fixed …
I think that mite is what spreads the virus.
Oh, I see. I'm so bloody ignorant of so bloody much. Sighh … Makes sense, indeed, Jo.
Love all the yellow. Gorgeous!
Thanks Angelia. :)
A delicious shot Jo!
Thanks Patti !! :)
Little miracles, aren't they? Gorgeous capture Jo :)
Thanks Meredith…they are so special.
Hey – just caught your new gravatar … is there no end to your accomplishments? :)
;) Wait until you see my 'pirate' pic.
??? :)
Well seeing as I am an honourary pirate on a friend's boat…seeing as he is a pirate Cap'n and all, I figured I better have a 'pirate' pic that showed those parts of me off. Things went a little wonky though…I ended up with a swan neck…hehehehehe
At some point I will get it right.
Such a beautiful (and humorous looking) pirate! I can imagine what fun you must have had shooting this one :)
Hmmmmm…I actually used one of those fun photo sites that lets you put your face in a hole. ;)
Beautiful shot Jo! We have to save the bees.
We sure do !!!
That is an incredible capture!
Thank you Amy…what a lovely thing to say.
now that's a good photo!
Thanks Suzanne.
Nice captured, JB… well done… :)
Thanks Bams. :)
superb :)
Thank you Joshi. :)
Arrrh great bee shot me hearty :-)
Just beautiful Jo! :D
Coming from the Queen of close ups…wow…thanks.
Actually I said lots more but our landlines were slow again and every time I posted the comment, the website bombed out and I had to type it over. I tried for 3 times and then couldn't remember anymore what I said, so I just typed as fast as I could and pressed the comment button as fast as I could. LOL!
Today all is fine again, so now I can say what I wanted to say yesterday:
This is one stunning shot Jo! I love how you captured this delicate and beautiful bee. Excellent depth of field as well and the bee and flower in the foreground is so sharp and clear and the most beautiful colours! Absolutely gorgeous! I just LOVE it! :D
Thank you so much for that lovely comment. I would write more but today has been a long stressful day and i am off to bed, but know I really appreciate all you said.
PS: Queen of close ups? Oh boy, that is a lovely compliment hon but I am not so sure. LOL! I remember that stunning macro of the spider you took one day. If there's a Queen of macro, then it's you hon. For sure! :D
Well I think we should just take the compliments on both sides and say thanks. :)
awesome pic Jo … I think there are fairies in there too :)
Wouldn't that be lovely . :)
gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, JO!! The texture of the bee is beautiful and the way you handled the flower and background…this is a gem!
Awwwww…thank you Sue. What a lovely comment to leave me. You made my morning.
Gorgeous capture, Jo. I love the idea of a bee being "drunk on pollen." You look really great as a pirate. Move over Johnny Depp. :D
As long as he moves in my direction…hehehehehe
Superb shot. What an eye!
Awwww…thank you !
Silly drunken bees. :-)
Hehehe…they are funny watch, and they seem so in to what they are doing.
Like cats and their funny grass. ;-)
All animals seem to have their quirks. ;)
At least two I understand. :-D
The bee looks stunning. You captured the details on the wings so beautifully. Can a bee be cuddly??? Eeek .. I think not but the fur looks so soft. Your great shot, Jo, is a pleasure for the eye.
Izzy <3
Thanks Izzy. I think it might be a bit dangerous to try to find out if a bee is cuddly or not.
hahaha … thanks for the laugh.
You are most welcome Izzy.
Beautiful picture!
Loved this photo.. and the poem.. the cats around here know its spring! and are more than meowing :-) as they cat-a-howl to each other.. LOL.. Hugs your way xox
Cats are so funny aren't they !
I love them..
Me too. ;)
You make a great pirate, Jo :) How are you feeling? More like yourself, I hope (or the pirate :) ) Rommel reminded me to come and say 'hi'.
Thanks Jo…getting there.

Templeton Robinson
Templeton Robinson have earned their position as one of Northern Ireland's largest and most trusted estate agents by combining a personal approach with the best tools for the job. When they began to focus on their web presence in 2005, they wanted a modern, fresh site that would reflect their brand, but they wanted to go further than that. They wanted to offer their clients 24 hour service and cutting edge tools that would help grow their customer base and their business. Central to this were their online services.
We've been helping Templeton Robinson achieve these goals since 2005, when we worked with them to develop our estate agent management software, EDGE. We developed the last two versions of TempletonRobinson.co.uk, each introducing a fresh design, additional features (including the ability to make an online offer on a property) and a faster, more powerful search tool.
The innovative nature of our partnership was demonstrated when Templeton Robinson became the first estate agent in Northern Ireland to offer online payment of professional fees. Another Northern Ireland first came with the launch of the Templeton Robinson iPhone app, developed by GCD Technologies in 2010.
The customer has remained at the forefront of this project. The ultimate aim of TempletonRobinson.co.uk has been to make the process of buying, selling or renting a property as smooth and as pleasant as possible. Keeping this in mind, we've helped to cement Templeton Robinson's status as the province's favourite property specialists.
"GCD's fanatical support team, knowledgeable and inventive development crew and dedication to excellence is exactly what we need to help our business grow even further."

The Waiting List
By Daisy Al-Amir
Translated by Barbara Parmenter (1994)
Daisy Al-Amir is one of the more visible figures in women's fiction in the Arab world today. This collection of stories, originally published in Lebanon as Ala La'ihat al-Intizar, is the most recent of her five publications. Her stories intimately reflect women's experiences in the chaotic worlds of the Lebanese civil war and the rise of Saadam Hussain as Iraq's leader. Set in Iraq, Cyprus, and Lebanon, the stories shed light on an unusual Middle East refugee experience—that of a cultural refugee, a divorced woman who is educated, affluent, and alone.
Al-Amir is also a poet and novelist, whose sensual prose grows out of a long tradition of Iraqi poetry. But one also finds existential themes in her works, as Al-Amir tries to balance what seems fated and what seems arbitrary in the turbulent world she inhabits. She deals with time and space in a minimalist, surreal style, while studying the disappointments of life through the subjective lens of memory. Honestly facing the absence of family and the instability of place, Al-Amir gives lifelike qualities to the inanimate objects of her rapidly changing world.
In addition to the stories, two examples of the author's experimental poems are included. In her introduction, Mona Mikhail places these stories and poems in the context of contemporary Islamic literature and gender studies.

In our first fan choice poll – held for no apparent reason, just a bit of fun – Gossip Girl came out the shining star as the television show you guys would most like to see Mischa guest star on. Gossip Girl won with a huge 46% of votes while The Vampire Diaries came in second at a lower 13%.
I'll probably put up a new fan choice poll in a few days just to pass the time while Mischa is MIA. If you have any poll ideas, shoot me an email with suggestions. Thanks for voting!
She would be great on gossip girl. She is made for a part on that show. Maybe as a character who takes on chuck bass? That would be fun…The you and I film looks like a bit of a B movie…no idea what it's about…if she is supposed to be launching her own clothing label does anyone think that she would have to tone down her own inimitable but eclectic dress sense if she is going to be representing a clothing label…
she had an opportunitY on that show as GEORGINA SPARKS but she passed on it, hope the producers create a part for her on that show

Rumph, a junior at the University of Kentucky going into just his second season as a starter, is a bit taller than Sapp at 6-foot-3, but has been playing at a weight of 315 pounds. That extra weight is something that has kept him off the field more than his coaches would like due to his tremendous skill and upside.
Now, after two seasons at Kentucky, Rumph has made a bit of a transformation and is much closer to the shape of the man he idolized as a kid. He has shed some weight, and is all the way down to 303 pounds. Kentucky head football coach Joker Phillips said Rumph is in "the best shape I've ever seen the big fella in."
Rumph knows it was essential to get into better football shape for the upcoming season.
"It was very important," said Rumph. "You know, I want to be in a comfortable playing weight. The help of (strength and conditioning) Coach Rock (Oliver) making sure every chance I got to do something extra, I took it. So, he's been a great help to get me in the condition I am."
Starting at defensive tackle for seven games in 2011, Rumph made 31 tackles including a career-high of six in a loss against LSU. But at the position, he took several plays off due to the pace of the game and being too winded to play multiple snaps in a row. Defensive line coach David Turner says that though Rumph has had some success in this league, he is still a work in progress.
"Yeah, I think so," said Turner on Rumph being in the best shape since his time at UK. "But it's not as good of shape as we need him to be in."
For Rumph, Turner says it is all about determination and wanting to be the best player he can be.
"Well hopefully it's a matter of playing the best he can play," said Turner. "I kinda of alluded to that when I said your career is half over. You've played two years; you've got two to go. How do you want to be remembered?
"He's an older guy that's played. He's played well at times in this league. He's got to take more ownership in this thing and it's got to be important to him to be in the best possible shape that he can be in to play the best way he can play."
It seems Rumph has received the message. When the team returned from spring break, he impressed his head coach and looked like the type of player they want him to be.
"You worry when he went away for a week and came back after spring break," said Phillips at his press conference on Tuesday. "We've all been on spring break before. But watching the (Rumph) come back, took the plan that Coach Oliver and his staff gave him during the break, came back, and I was really pleased with the way the guy ran. He ran really well all winter, but then watching him come back (Monday) and run up and down the field, not a guy that's leaning over, looks like he's about to take his last breath anymore. Running, standing up, breathing the right way, looking like he could play the next play. Before it hasn't been that way."
Not only have the coaches been pushing him to reach a better level of fitness, but Rumph is now pushing himself. He know that in order to get where everyone wants him to be, he has to want it himself and put in the extra work to get him to that point.
"Mainly preparing mentally," said Rumph of his off-season preparation. "Running is just mental. Doing some extra cardio work with Coach Rock. He's been really great. After every workout, I'll be in the cardio room doing something extra. If not 30, 15 minutes, just to be doing something extra."
That work ethic and sense of ownership is something that may help him grow into an enhanced role. With only five starters returning on the defensive side of the ball, Rumph may be thrust into a leadership role to fill the void left by Danny Trevathan and Winston Guy, among others.
Rumph knows that it is his time to help lead and create a cohesive unit.
Rumph knows that it is his time to help lead and create a cohesive unit.
"Somebody has to step up," said Rumph. "Being a veteran in the game, you know, I try to take over the roles they left for us, and try to help the young guys, try to push them along, so we can all play together as one."
His coaches believe Rumph has an opportunity to do great things at Kentucky and that 2012 could be a huge one. This year, his coaches have already noticed the changes. A more physically fit Rump and a full year in the defense makes things easier for everyone.
"Well aside from the fact that he's moving around better," said Turner, "I think now, being in the defense a second year, he's picked up things a whole lot easier. It's easier on everybody. It's easier on me. I'm not learning everything new. It's easier on the guys. And now instead of everyone trying to learn what to do. We can do it."
Rumph agrees.
"It's a lot easier," said Rumph. "Less stressful. I'm more comfortable and I can feel more things, instead of just thinking. I can react more instead of just thinking about it."
With a new physique, improved fitness and a better overall understanding of the defense, it is reasonable to think big things are on the horizon for the "big fella." And while he may not be Warren Sapp just yet, a determined Rumph has a chance to be one of the all-time greats to play the position while wearing the Blue and White.

The annual rainy season is coming to an end in Guatemala. Back in August – when WWF Guatemala held a two and a half day training on the Green Recovery and Reconstruction Training Toolkit (GRRT) – it seemed Guatemala was entering a severe drought that would ultimately affect food supplies and worsen living conditions for rural residents. But later in the season, Guatemala experienced heavy rains and flooding, which eventually left 28 people dead.
As part of the training, the 25 participants went to a small river behind the training site to conduct a flood risk assessment (the river has flooded frequently in the past) and identify how impacts could be modified using an environment-based approach to disaster risk reduction. It is likely that this river has flooded with the rains in Guatemala.
It is ironic that trainees were looking at a then, almost dry river when about an hour away in San Marcos an earthquake had occurred only a few weeks earlier. As one of the participants suggested, it would have been useful for the trainees to have done a real post-disaster assessment and recovery plan for San Marcos as part of the exercise.
Drought in August. Flooding in October. An earthquake in between. It is safe to say that Guatemala is a disaster-prone country.
But this is only half the story. The country has a developed disaster management system, headed by the Executive Secretariat of CONRED that provides warnings for droughts, flooding, severe weather (including hurricanes) and also periodic dangers posed by volcanoes.
The August GRRT training was intended to strengthen the country's recovery capacities. In many countries, considerable effort by governments, NGOs, and communities is put into planning immediate disaster relief, but recovery itself usually does not get similar attention.
To build environmentally focused recovery capacity in Guatemala, the GRRT training focused on representatives from governmental institutions, municipalities, and national and international NGOs in Guatemala who could in turn train others. The training in Xela was delivered by Arabella Samayoa, an experienced trainer who had limited knowledge of the GRRT approach before the training.
By all measures, the training was a success: Arabella did an excellent job mastering the materials and participants wanted to know more about other GRRT modules that were not covered in this training.
It was clear that the environmental community in Guatemala can bring considerable capacity to reducing risk by supporting an environmentally responsible disaster response. WWF is now working to include the GRRT as part of CONRED's training program and expand GRRT training to other Latin American and Caribbean countries.
The GRRT training materials used in Guatemala can be found on this website in both Spanish and English along with additional information.
The GRRT training in Xela was organized by WWF Guatemala under the leadership of AnaVictoria Rodriguez, with the support of Anita van Breda, WWF US Disaster Response and Risk Reduction program. Funding for the training came from the Program Climate, Nature and Communities in Guatemala, Component 3 managed by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and funded by the US Agency for International Development.

Earlier this month, a series of new mortgage laws kicked in, all with the intent to thwart chances of borrowers taking out more than they can afford.
The changes come as the housing market is showing signs of another boon, but regulators are trying to make sure we don't have a repeat of lenders giving mortgages to borrows unable to pay it back.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau new mortgage laws are described as more information and protection for borrowers.
It offers protection for the lender and borrower as long as it's what is described as a "qualified mortgage." That describes loans approved and issued only after the lender checks and verifies applicant's income, assets, debts, credit history and other financial information.
The rules have certain debt-to-income requirements, and qualified mortgages can't have features like negative amortization or no-interest periods.
"Taking out a mortgage to buy a home is one of the biggest decisions a consumer can make," Richard Cordray, the consumer bureau's director, said in a written statement. "We want to make sure that people are aware of their new protections so they have the knowledge to make sound decisions about their financial futures."
Some other rules:
Mortgage servicers must send a clear monthly statement so borrowers can see how their payments are credited.
Servicers must credit payments as of the day they receive them.
Servicers must provide early notice to borrowers with adjustable rate mortgage when their interest rates are about change. This is intended to give customer more time to shop for a new loan or get help with the new payment.
Servicers can't start the foreclosure process until at least 120 days after the borrower's last payment.
Servicers can no longer start a foreclosure while they are also working with a homeowner who has submitted a complete application for help.
Reach Tyrone Richardson at 937-5550 or twitter.com/tyrichardsonPC.
New rules from the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau restrict when lenders can initiate foreclosure lawsuits.×

Re: What makes your blood boil??
When 'she who must not be named', (my ex-wife), uses manipulation of the children and their potential opportunities to 'get back' at me.
Example: I had organized a trip to the US and Disneyworld for this last month. 'She who..' originally agreed it would be a great idea for them, so we, (the kids and I) spent months planning every detail. Several months later I was in need of some paperwork to finalize the passports for the kids. She refused to give it, and tried to blackmail me for money and a written statement that would have effectively been perjury, (and untrue!). Long story short, we were unable to go on the trip due to her spite and hatred towards me, so the kids missed out on a once in a childhood's experience. Not to mention their extreme disappointment and sadness. And yet 'she who...' considers this to be my fault, and has proceeded to tell the kids just that.
Nothing pisses me off more than this kind of selfishness.
On a side note, Grea, how did the pokies kill the live music scene in Sydney? I guess we're lucky in WA not to have them, but to kill off the music?
It's better to sit in silence and be thought a fool, than open ones mouth and remove all doubt..

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
17:20-37 The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them. It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divine grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what state the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Here is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roman armies, that nation was found in such a state of false security as is here spoken of. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world, sinners will be found altogether regardless; for in like manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, and remember not their latter end. But wherever the wicked are, who are marked for eternal ruin, they shall be found by the judgments of God.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 21. - Neither shall they say, Lo here: or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. That kingdom will be marked out on no map, for, lo, it is even now in your midst. It may be asked - How "in your midst"? Scarcely not as Godet and Olshausen, following Chrysostom, think, in your hearts. The kingdom of God could not be said to be in the hearts of those Pharisees to whom the Master was especially directing his words of reply here. It should be rather understood in the midst of your ranks; so Meyer and Farrar and others interpret it,
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Neither shall they say,.... Or shall it be said by any, making their observations, and pointing to this, or that place:
lo here, or lo there; in this, or that place, country or city, the kingdom of God is set up; the throne of the Messiah is there; and there are the "regalia", or ensigns of his regal power; no such thing will fall under the observations of man, not but that this would be said, and was said by some persons, as it is suggested it should, Luke 17:23 and it appears from Matthew 24:26 that some would say he was in such a wilderness, and others, that he was in some private retirement in a house, or that he was in such a town or city; as particularly it was said in Adrian's time, that he was in a place called Bither, where Bar Cochab set up himself for the Messiah: but the sense of the words is, that no such thing ought to be said; and if it was said, it would not be true; nor should it be credited: and the Cambridge copy of Beza's adds, "believe not"; as in Matthew 24:26
for behold the kingdom of God is within you: in the elect of God among the Jews, in their hearts; it being of a spiritual nature, and lying in righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost; in the dispossession of Satan, the strong man armed; in the putting down of the old man, sin, with its deceitful lusts, from the throne; and in setting up a principle of grace, as a governing one; and so escapes the observation of natural men, and cannot be pointed at as here, or there: hence it appears, that the work of grace is an internal thing; it is wrought in the hearts of men; it has its seat in the inward parts, and is therefore called the inner, and the hidden man: it does not lie in words, in an outward profession of religion: it is oil in the vessel of the heart, and is distinct from the lamp of a visible profession; it does not lie in external works and duties, but it is an inward principle of holiness in the soul, or spirit of man, produced there by the Spirit of God, and is therefore called by his name, John 3:6 and it also appears to be a very glorious thing, since it is signified by a kingdom: it is a rich treasure; it is gold tried in the fire, which makes rich; it is an estate, that good part, and portion, which can never be taken away; it is preferable to the greatest portion on earth men can enjoy; even the largest and richest kingdom in the world is not to be compared with it; it is a kingdom which cannot be moved; and as it is glorious in itself, it makes such glorious who are partakers of it: "the king's daughter is all glorious within", Psalm 45:13 and it is high in the esteem of God; it is the hidden man of the heart, but it is in his sight; it is in his view, and is in his sight of great price: it is likewise evident from hence, that it has great power and authority in the soul; it has the government in it; it reigns, through righteousness, unto eternal life; and by it, Christ, as king of saints, dwells and reigns in his people. Now this is not to be understood of the Scribes and Pharisees, as if they had any such internal principle in them, who were as painted sepulchres, and had nothing but rottenness and corruption in them: but the sense is, that there were some of the people of the Jews, of whom the Pharisees were a part, who had been powerfully wrought upon under the ministry of John, Christ, and his apostles; and were so many instances of efficacious grace, and of the kingdom of God, and of his Gospel coming with power to them. Though the words may be rendered,
the kingdom of God is among you; and the meaning be, that the king Messiah was already come, and was among them, and his kingdom was already set up, of which the miracles of Christ were a full proof; and if they could not discern these signs of the times, and evident appearances of the kingdom of God among them, they would never be able to make any observation of it, hereafter, or elsewhere.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
21. Lo here! … lo there!—shut up within this or that sharply defined and visible geographical or ecclesiastical limit.
within you—is of an internal and spiritual character (as contrasted with their outside views of it). But it has its external side too.
Luke 17:21 Additional Commentaries
The Coming of the Kingdom
20Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; 21nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst." 22And He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.…

Keeps water out - durable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had this for about a year now. Bought an XL cockpit for my 4Play, but also keeps all water out of my Diesel 75 that has a smaller cockpit opening. This is the best Spray skirt I have owned and regularly get out after many hours of paddling with no water in the boat. I'm sure there are other great skirts out there - but I haven't tried them all. The rand stays tight around the back of the cockpit when I am stretching it out to the front. So even though it is a tight fit on some boats, it is not that hard to put on. After a year of reasonably frequent paddling it is showing no adverse effects.
