Hypnosis as a Pathway for Empowering the Disempowered: Introducing Michael Yapko
Highlights from the 19th International Congress of Hypnosis, Bremen, Germany, October 15-21, 2012
Michael Yapko, PhD, is a psychologist, psychotherapist, and a teacher of clinical hypnosis with an international reputation. Yapko has pioneered the application of hypnosis to clinical depression and authored a number of books in this area, including: Mindfulness and Hypnosis, Trancework, Depression is Contagious, and Treating Depression with Hypnosis.
Michael Yapko provided a two day Pre-Congress workshop and was also featured in a symposium on hypnosis and depression on the first day of the Congress. In his presentations Yapko emphasized a number of principles relevant for the practice of mind-body medicine, for the medical or mental health professional. Hypnosis attends to the implicit message contained within seemingly factual medical communications. Yapko highlighted a number of common medical practices that disempower human beings:
1. Every time a practitioner offers a medication to the patient as the sole treatment for a disorder, the message is that the patient's condition is beyond his or her control, and the patient has no relevant role in recovering or maintaining health. Even when a medication does present an effective therapy for a problem, there are usually a number of practical wellness oriented interventions that could also be assigned, enabling the patient to assume an active role in health maintenance.
2. When a practitioner communicates that a disorder is genetic, the message is again that the disorder is outside voluntary control, and personal coping and wellness practices are irrelevant. Yapko pointed out that mainstream medicine frequently informs patients that clinical depression is genetic. There is no evidence of a single depression gene, univocally causing depression. Rather there are multiple genetic markers associated with higher risk for depression, yet in most cases life historical events, personal losses, and stress play a role in both the onset of depression and recovery from depression.
3. The communication that a disorder, such as depression, is a biochemical imbalance also dismisses the role of the human being in illness onset and recovery of health. The medical answer to the biochemical imbalance is anti-depressant medication, and current evidence shows that many patients cannot or will not tolerate the adverse effects of medication, and even successful pharmacotherapy produces only partial recovery for many.
4. Similarly, when a practitioner spends the preponderance of treatment sessions exploring past causes for the current disorder, the patient is encouraged to view him or herself as a helpless pawn of past events.
Instead, Yapko emphasizes "empowering the disempowered," highlighting pathways beyond medication, eliciting the power of personal actions and everyday experience in mood and health, and accenting the patient's present and future. His approach, which is elaborated in his many writings, employs a dialogue with the patient that refocuses him or her on present pathways for health and the possibilities of a future enriched with health and wellness. Hypnosis can disrupt a depressive and hopeless over-focus on limitations, and refocus the patient in a vivid fashion on open horizons.
Yapko defines the primary purpose of hypnosis as: " … to absorb the person in a frame of mind that is consistent with the therapeutic objectives. Using hypnosis to teach empowering strategies is a core part of that process" (Yapko, 2012, Bremen workshop).
According to Yapko, empowering interventions generally are outcome oriented, active interventions, future-oriented, change-oriented, targeted toward evoking positive experiences, specific, experiential, and individualized. Hypnosis and hypnotic strategies can be integrated into the fabric of mind-body and mainstream medical treatments, so that the treatments empower the patient to think ahead, anticipate positive transformations in his or her life, and perceive his or her own actions as one means to creating the new future.
Michael Yapko has agreed to participate in a videoconference with Saybrook University students in the School of Mind-Body Medicine in early 2013, discussing his strategies for empowerment in greater detail.
MEDICINE is incredibly important to us we need medicine because that it helps me maintain or restore my health prevent of disease, injury and other damage to my body or mind. Medicine can cure illness, boost immunities, provide extra nutrients and vitamins that the body can't produce or consume on a daily diet. See the link below for more info.
clinical hypnosis is a treatment works on the principle of mind control. Many problems which are related to mental treatment or blood related can be solve. Very interesting post, Thanks for shearing.

Love in the Time of Choleraby Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the late 1800s, in a Caribbean port city, a young telegraph operator named Florentino Ariza falls deliriously in love with Fermina Daza, a beautiful student. She is so sheltered that they carry on their romance secretly, through letters and telegrams. When Fermina Daza's father finds out about her suitor, he sends her on a trip intended to make her forget the affair. Lorenza Daza has much higher ambitions for his daughter than the humble Florentino. Her grief at being torn away from her lover is profound, but when she returns she breaks off the relationship, calling everything that has happened between them an illusion.
Instead, she marries the elegant, cultured, and successful Dr. Juvenal Urbino. As his wife, she will think of herself as "the happiest woman in the world." Though devastated by her rejection, Florentino Ariza is not one to be deterred. He has declared his eternal love for Fermina, and determines to gain the fame and fortune he needs to win her back. When Fermina's husband at last dies, 51 years, 9 months, and 4 days later, Florentino Ariza approaches Fermina again at her husband's funeral. There have been hundreds of other affairs, but none of these women have captured his heart as Fermina did. "He is ugly and sad," says one of his lovers, "but he is all love."
In this magnificent story of a romance, Garcia Marquez beautifully and unflinchingly explores the nature of love in all its guises, small and large, passionate and serene. Love can emerge like a disease in these characters, but it can also outlast bleak decades of war and cholera, and the effects of time itself.
"The greatest luxury, as in all of Garcia Marquez's books, is the eerie, entirely convincing suspension of the laws of reality...the agelessness of the human story as told by one of this century's most evocative writers." Anne Tyler, Chicago Sun-Times Book Week
"A rich, commodious novel whose narrative power is matched only by its generosity of vision." The New York Times
"A love story of astonishing power and delicious comedy...humane, richly comic, almost unbearably touching and altogether extraordinary." Newsweek
"Revolutionary in daring to suggest that vows of love made under a presumption of immortality — youthful idiocy, to some — may yet be honored, much later in life when we ought to know better, in the face of the undeniable....a shining and heartbreaking book" Thomas Pynchon, The New York Times
"It is a fully mature novel in scope and perspective, flawlessly translated, as rich in ideas as in humanity." Publishers Weekly
"In substance and style not as fantastical, as mythologizing, as the previous works, this is a compelling exploration of the myths we make of love." Library Journal
In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermino Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs — yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.
With humorous sagacity and consummate craft, Garcia Marquez traces an exceptional half-century story of unrequited love. Though it seems never to be conveniently contained, love flows through the novel in many wonderful guises — joyful, melancholy, enriching, ever surprising.
Set in a country on the Caribbean coast of South America, this is a story about a woman and two men and their entwined lives. From the author of the legendary One Hundred Years of Solitude.
About the Author
Garcia Marquez was born in Aracataca, Colombia, in 1928. He attended the University of Bogota and went on to become a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador.

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, he is the author of several novels and collections, including No One Writes to the Colonel and Other Stories, The Autumn of the Patriarch, Innocent Erendira and Other Stories, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, The General in His Labyrinth, Strange Pilgrims, and Love and Other Demons.

Emery Telcom Internet, a subsidiary of Emery Telcom, has completed another vital link in its local DSL (digital subscriber line) network. This most recent project enables customers in Sunnyside and East Carbon to enjoy the benefits of DSL.
DSL is the technology Emery Telcom Internet uses to deliver high-speed Internet service to its customers. The most impressive feature of DSL is the increased transmission speed. DSL operates five times faster than standard modems. DSL also provides a constant connection, rather than requiring customers to "dial up" each time they use the Internet.
Emery Telcom Internet first offered DSL service in July of 2001 to the residents of central and western Carbon and Emery counties. Today, more than 1,100 customers subscribe to the service.
"The success of our DSL service demonstrates how willing the customers in Carbon and Emery counties are to accept and use new technology," says Greg Killpack, General Manager. "The percentage of customers using DSL in our service territory now exceeds the rate in most metropolitan areas of the nation."
Emery Telcom Internet also continues to offer traditional dial up internet service to several thousand local residents. As a result, the company is now the largest Internet Service Provider in southeastern and central Utah.

Illinois Learning Standards
English Language Arts
The Illinois Learning Standards for English Language Arts goals and standards were developed using the 1985 State Goals for Language Arts, various state and national standards drafts, and local education standards contributed by team members. Through the achievement of these goals and standards, students will gain proficiency in the language skills that are basic to all learning, critical to success in the workplace and essential to life as productive citizens.
English language arts includes reading, writing, speaking, listening and the study of literature. In addition, students must be able to study, retain and use information from many sources. Through the study of the English language arts, students should be able to read fluently, understanding a broad range of written materials. They must be able to communicate well and listen carefully and effectively. They should develop a command of the language and demonstrate their knowledge through speaking and writing for a variety of audiences and purposes. As students progress, a structured study of literature will allow them to recognize universal themes and to compare styles and ideas across authors and eras.
Applications of Learning
Through Applications of Learning, students demonstrate and deepen their understanding of basic knowledge and skills. These applied learning skills cross academic disciplines and reinforce the important learning of the disciplines. The ability to use these skills will greatly influence students' success in school, in the workplace and in the community.
Solving Problems
Recognize and investigate problems; formulate and propose solutions supported by reason and evidence.
Solving problems demands that students be able to read and listen, comprehend ideas, ask and answer questions, clearly convey their own ideas through written and oral means, and explain their reasoning. Comprehending reading materials and editing and revising writing are in themselves forms of complex problem solving. The ability to locate, acquire and organize information from various sources, print and electronic, is essential to solving problems involving research. In all fieldsEnglish language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and others, the command of language is essential in stating and reasoning through problems and conveying results.
Express and interpret information and ideas.
Communication is the essence of English language arts, and communication surrounds us today in many forms. Individuals and groups of people exchange ideas and informationoral and writtenat lunch tables, through newspapers and magazines, and through radio, television and on-line computer services. From the simplest, shortest conversations to the most complex technical manuals, language is the basis of all human communication. A strong command of reading, writing, speaking and listening is vital for communicating in the home, school, workplace and beyond.
Using Technology
Use appropriate instruments, electronic equipment, computers and networks to access information, process ideas and communicate results.
Computers and telecommunications have become basic means for creating messages and relaying information. In offices and homes, people write using word processors. Audio and visual media are used for both creative and practical forms of communication. The use of on-line services is now commonplace among researchers, authors, farmers and auto mechanics. Skilled use of these technologies provides students with necessary opportunities to search and process information, be in touch with experts, prepare documents, and learn and communicate in new, more effective ways.
Working on Teams
Learn and contribute productively as individuals and as members of groups.
In sports, the workplace, family and elsewhere, teamwork requires skill in the use of language. People must speak clearly and listen well as they share ideas, plans, instructions and evaluations. In researching and bringing outside information to a team, individuals must be able to search, select and understand a variety of sources. Documenting progress and reporting results demand the ability to organize information and convey it clearly. Those who can read, write, speak and listen well are valuable contributors in any setting where people are working together to achieve shared goals.
Making Connections
Recognize and apply connections of important information and ideas within and among learning areas.
The parts of English language arts are closely interconnected. Reading and writing provide the means to receive and send written messages. Likewise, listening and speaking enable people to receive and send oral information. Speaking and writing are the creative components, while listening and reading are the receptive components of language through which people access knowledge and demonstrate its applications. Proficiency in these skills clearly supports learning in all academic areas.

Amazingly, no one hurt
Wreckage of a Price River Water Improvement District sewer cleaning truck and rail crossing signal are widely scattered after the truck drove into the path of a Union Pacific freight train Friday morning. Driver Patrick Hansen and a passenger were not seriously hurt in the collision. The train devastated the rear of the truck, but left the cab unscathed. The wreck happened at about 10:45 a.m. Hansen was westbound on Railroad Avenue parallel to the tracks. The train was also westbound and behind the truck. The truck driver, who apparently neither saw nor heard the train, the flashing crossing signal or the train's horn, made a right turn over the tracks. The impact sent truck parts flying. It took about four blocks from the collision for the train to come to a complete stop.

I have two larger cups but this my favorite. My cup is copper so it looks kinda magical. I use a 3/4 inch ball which for my final load I use a 1 1/2 ball. Very startling to the spectators. I keep to the Don Alan handling of this cup. Not to fancy like loading a sponge lemon or such. Great close-up item

Manslaughter is the act of killing another human being in a way that is less culpable than murder. See Homicide.
Under both the common law and the Pennsylvania Method of differentiating degrees of murder, manslaughter was divided into voluntary and involuntary manslaughter:
- •Voluntary manslaughter is intentionally killing another person in the heat of passion and in response to adequate provocation.
- •Involuntary manslaughter is negligently causing the death of another person.
Under the Model Penal Code, manslaughter includes:
- •Reckless homicide
- •Homicide that would be murder, but "is committed under the influence of extreme mental or emotional disturbance for which there is reasonable explanation or excuse."
See Model Penal Code § 210.3

Tablet shipments such as unlocked HTC Flyer Tab are expected to continue to rise for the foreseeable future. Some of the analytical companies that have analyzed where they think the tablet industry is heading in the future could be a conservative number that we are looking at come 2017. Keep in mind that would be just short six years away, made some very bold predictions about the number of tablets that we see shipped. They have estimated the number of 250 million for the year 2017. This would be a very high estimate for shipments for that year and would really show that they have a very strong interest in me tell industry across the globe. Some of their less conservative estimations show that they believe that a total of 21 75 million tablets could be shipped in 2015. This was a number that was reported by IHS iSuppli, one of the larger tech analytical companies in the US.
Depending on the company that is making the prediction, all predictions seem to be in the same ballpark. They will reach an amount around 250 million within the next 4 to 6 years. They believe that the worldwide need for these tablet personal computers will rise over the course of the next two years, and will make for a very interesting next few years in the mobile industry.
A number of companies have made similar predictions over the course of the last few months, and it appears that all of the analytical companies seem to be thinking the same thing when it comes to tablet such as unlocked Motorola Xoom Tablet; that they are going to become some of the most popular items that you can purchase at some point in the near future. Tablets have been dominated by the iPod, but there is going to be a number of other options that are available, and you have to bet that one of them will be taking off in a similar way at some point in the very near future.

Remember, try hard, run hard. And remember too that success is not final and losing is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
Also remember irregardless of how good or how poorly your horse performed, there is the possibility you were not leading him correctly. So when you finish and come out of the gate, please give him or her a pat on the rump. It's called tender touching and it goes a long way with a horse.

By Joseph Spector, Albany Bureau Chief
ALBANY -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling on the state Thruway Authority to pump the brakes on a proposed 45 toll increase on trucks, saying all other option should be explored before increasing costs on drivers.
"A toll is really the last resort after everything else is explored," Cuomo said Tuesday on 1300-AM (WGDJ) in Albany.
The Thruway Authority has been wrangling over whether to go forward with the toll increase on trucks first proposed in May. The Thruway board has canceled three meetings since September to approve the toll increase. Business groups have heavily criticized the proposal.
Cuomo said he has directed the Thruway board to "explore every possible option," adding that "I don't believe it's impossible" to avoid a toll hike. The toll increase would bring in about $85 million a year for the financially strapped authority, which oversees the 570-mile thoroughfare.
The Thruway Authority hasn't indicated when it would next meet.

The Northern Alliance no doubt has a dark past. They are pretty much just a bunch of bandits and warlords. But they are certainly helping the US right now in the war in Afghanistan. Just imagine, how long this war could be going on with how many US casualties if it wasn't for them. They are doing the "dirty work" that otherwise would have to be done by US troops.
They are committing attrocities against Taliban fighters right now, but that doesn't bother me a bit. The less Taliban, the better. So far there are no reports on attrocities against civilians. I really hope there won't be any.
They are also asking the UN to help with a broad-based goverment, they are not trying to take power.
I was so glad to see people celebrating in Kabul after the Taliban left. I certainly hope there will be peace in Afghanistan soon.

With two hit television shows, a best selling book series, and the world's most downloaded podcast under his belt, about the only thing left for Ricky Gervais to conquer is the silver screen. And with the upcoming release of The Invention of Lying (Oct. 2), Gervais is poised to do just that…unless of course it's anything like Ghost Town.In honor of this comedic Renaissance man and his new film, we've compiled our seven favorite classic Ricky Gervais clips. Gervais, the Stand-Up Comedian/MC:Not many comedians can reference both AIDS and the Holocaust and still get a laugh (unless Mel Gibson or my dad are in the audience). But Ricky Gervais pulls it off flawlessly.

David Cronenberg is revisiting his 1986 film, The Fly. Which of course was a remake of a previous version re-imagined through the Goldblum Filter. A remake of a remake? That kind of gene-thinning would normally create a film who's plot is more deformed than Sloth's nutsack. However, Cronenberg has proven himself to be an inventive and solid director so we're not worried about this project at all. We'll provide more details as they come in.

Megan Fox Music Video – Watch more Funny Videos As you may know by now, Jennifer's Body opened this weekend to disappointing box office figures, even though the movie had the three ingredients that can almost guarantee a hit: an Oscar-winning writer behind the script, lesbian kissing and… lesbian kissing. So what went wrong? Well, recording artist Without a Face might have the answer to that in this new music video response to the film, entitled 'Hire a Hacktress.' If only Hollywood players communicated their ideas like Without a Face… actually development meetings would be really long with the whole singing instead of talking thing, but the results would speak for themselves.

A Japanese Tim Burton fansite leaked the above picture of Nicolas Cage dressed as Tommy Wiseau dressed as Superman and its now all over the 'Netz.

At any rate, it's not half as ridiculous as this Nicolas Cage Ghost Rider makeup test.Apparently, Cage had Harlow FX do this trial run on him for his Halloween party a few years back while Ghost Rider was in the early stages of pre-production.

In these hard economic times, many of us have had to turn to our own ingenuity to make ends meet. And a lot of times, that means going out of one's comfort zone. In the case of international terrorist organization COBRA, they had to resort to recruiting would-be ne'er-do-wells with their own hair metal band… and its own theme song, "Cold Slither."

Though his prison experience will come in handy due to the factor that the film's undead will besiege a prison in this installment.

According to a new L.A. Times article, Paranormal Activity isn't just a film about a haunting; the film itself may actually be haunted – at least, if Steven Spielberg is to be believed. John Horn's article cites a source within Dreamworks as having said that, upon viewing a DVD screener at his Malibu home, Mr. Spielberg was inexplicably locked inside his bedroom and had to call a locksmith in order to get out. And upon his eventual release, the man who gave us Poltergeist tossed the screener in a trash bag and brought it straight back to the Dreamworks offices.Viral marketing hooey, or a legendary filmmaker genuinely freaked out by a film? Or even better… is there a standard def ghost in the Blu-Ray machine? Read the whole article over at the L.A.

| Man Vs. Machine: Blue Giant's Kevin and Anita Robinson.
IMAGE: Vivian Johnson
I believe it was the Boss who so eloquently sung the praises of "human touch" back in the '90s. And though husband-and-wife duo Viva Voce—whose discography includes such mushily titled numbers as "N Love W/U"—has never been hurting in the romance department, the Portland pair recently realized its expansive psych-pop could use a bit more of that organic stuff.
See, over the course of four full-length albums and nine tours, Viva Voce remained a duo (save for a brief stint in '06 with All Girl Summer Fun Band's Kim Baxter on bass). As such, Kevin and Anita Robinson relied heavily on pre-recorded backdrops, involved studio techniques and, as Kevin puts it, "electronic doodads." In an effort to break from their semi-robotic pop mold, the couple decided to put Viva Voce on indefinite hiatus—forming killer quartet Blue Giant instead.
"It wasn't like an army draft, but...we were really dying to play with other people," says Kevin. "There were no official letters sent out: 'Dearest Evan [Railton, of now-defunct Swords Project], your drumming services are required....' But after everyone got together a few times, it was just sort of understood." As for the music, he says, "There's definitely an edge to it. We all come from very, very tripped-out musical backgrounds. So there will always be that element."
Blue Giant, which features Seth Lorinczi (of local psych-rock duo the Golden Bears) as its fourth member, plays a similarly tripped-out brand of rock—built on Anita's fret-burning guitar skills and the Robinsons' knack for melody—but it also makes room for spacious, country-tinged jams and more harmonizing between Kevin and Anita. "[It's] like handing someone a sketch and watching them turn it into something better than what you drew up," Kevin says of the band's collaborative, instinctual nature. "Using pre-recorded segments...you wind up hitting the ceiling of what that allows you to do. Sometimes you just want to yell, 'One more time, take it to the bridge!'"
In the spirit of human interaction, the Robinsons recently invited a few press folks over to hear Blue Giant, which plays its first show this Friday, in person. We were greeted with bottled beer and boiled peanuts (a salty delicacy indigenous to the couple's native Alabama), and got to meet Larry the border collie. Crammed amid journalists in his impeccably cool garage-cum-studio, Kevin sang of gray skies and a nonexistent sun (sound familiar?); meanwhile, Lorinczi pressed earthy, '70s-inspired chords from an electric piano, Anita delivered fuzzed-out lead and Railton laid down stomping rhythms. It was the first sunny day in weeks, and I couldn't help but wonder if all that communal warmth helped beckon 'er out.
SEE IT: Blue Giant plays its first show Friday, June 20, with the Shaky Hands and Lackthereof at the Wonder Ballroom. 9 pm. $10 advance, $12 day of show (includes EP). All ages.

Tourette (too-RET) syndrome is a nervous system (neurological) disorder that starts in childhood. It involves unusual repetitive movements or unwanted sounds that can't be controlled (tics). For instance, you may repeatedly blink your eyes, shrug your shoulders or jerk your head. In some cases, you might unintentionally blurt out offensive words.
Signs and symptoms of Tourette syndrome typically show up between ages 2 and 12, with the average being around 7 years of age. Males are about three to four times more likely than females to develop Tourette syndrome.
Although there's no cure, you can live a normal life span with Tourette syndrome, and many people with Tourette syndrome don't need treatment when symptoms aren't troublesome. Symptoms of Tourette syndrome often lessen or become quiet and controlled after the teen years.

I'm pretty sure they'll make it here, being a bigger airline than the ones who tried before, and failed.
They'll definitely get the business being in a prime commuting location and minimal to no ATC delays.
'Little airport," main runway is just 6000'??? Mark Air operated 73's out of a 5000' runway at DET.
not to mention the large number of flights out of SNA and that runway is what, no more than 5500 feet?
Good for them. I hope it works out for everyone
this airport has potential, and since it can expand and grow, and is also near larger airports and big cities, it seems like a wise choice
I just booked a flight to RDU from TTN for April. I like the idea of them being there. I would normally fly out of PHL but a drive that may take me 15 minutes more but less aggravation at the airport is worth it!! Also free parking!!!
Wow, ABE just got hosed! I might be slightly locally (and employee) biased but ABE would have been a much better fit than TTN. We have plenty of room for expansion and a bigger airport... And it's an easy 70 minute drive from the city... And, and, and. A bit of unfortunate timing and some decisions from our local management have meant that we've missed this opportunity. Big, big shame, but best of luck to F9.
ABE is more than 70 mins. from NYC, if that's the city you're talking about, and 70 mins. form PHL on a really good day. TTN has mass transit close to it going to NYC and PHL.
Not often you see a major airline move into an airport without a control tower.
They do have a control tower.
That's why they moved to TTN...
Oops my bad...was thinking BLM.
I filled out a Crew Scheduling app for Frontier a few days ago. If i got the job I'd be making a long distance move. Does anyone know how secure Frontier as a company is? I have worked for 2 airlines that went bankrupt and don't want that to happen again.
Yes there screwed, sorry.
It would have been nice to see ILG considered as an alternative. Delaware is the only state in the nation without commercial air service. ILG has 7000'+ runways (the DE Air National Guard shares the airport), rental car service, public transit, and is close to the Wilmington train station. The terminal isn't that big but can be expanded. There have been a lot of failed attempts to run commercial service out of ILG - Delta in the early 00's, ShuttleAmerica, United, etc., but they've all failed due to competition from PHL.
They have airline service there, twice weekly 757 to DC...

I agree, well said. Should have been in AAA from the start but maybe made the rotation because of Steve Johnson's injury. I think the key point you made was he needs to prove that he can correct himself over a prolonged period because that seems to be the biggest issue.

EXACTLY. Not that he will be Gonzalez 2.0 but the key is don't sleep on him like most did on Gonzalez. For all of Arrieta and Britton's great stuff, they were both vastly outperformed by Gonzalez last year. Buck loves Mcfarland so I would have no problem with him being slotted into the rotation at some point if need be. I would definitely rather see him out there than Arrieta right now.
birdwatcher55 wrote:I think we're stuck with JA until Stevie Johnson is ready.
I'm looking forward to having Steve Johnson back. He and Mcfarland provide great versatiltiy and allow Arrieta, Britton, Gausman, and Bundy to remain in the minors until they are ready. Those four may have more talent and a higher ceiling but Steve Johnson and Mcfarland provide consistency which is good enough for a decent stretch of the season.
thezeroes wrote:You do know that 4 of those seven walks came in his first start of two innings when he had that bleeding blister??
Since that start he has 11.2 innings with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts his ground ball rate for outs is 28 GO to ZERO fly-outs.
That's a great point and a perfect example of the importance of looking beyond stats in the minors sometimes. You don't always know what goes in during those games and sometimes pitchers are told to work on specific things that might not be most conducive to winning that particular game (ie throwing more offspeed pitches than they normally would).

Sometimes I have two or three days where I am on a research high..there is no other phrase to really describe it. One day last week I went to the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. I talked and laughed with my cousin Chris who works there, then I made copies of the agricultural and social statistics census records for several counties in Maryland. If you haven't utilized the non-population census records, you'll want to. These will really help to put flesh on the bones of your ancestors when you write your family history, as they say. I found one that showed my ancestor's farm raised honeybees and sold honey. I wouldn't ever have thought that. The social statistics don't have individual names but give a snapshot of the entire community. In one community, I saw where they had few schools or newspapers, but over 20 churches. That gives you some insight into what was important in people's lives at a certain point in time.
But the centerpiece of my trip that day was looking at Slave Tax Assessments for Montgomery County, MD. I am lucky (at least in this case) that this county has these records for 1851-1864. And the beauty of them is that they list slave names and ages, by slaveowner. I live and breathe for records that actually name slaves..the revealing of those upon whose backs so much pain was inflicted still gives me chills. They are so often voiceless, and I think of this pursuit as trying to give them back that voice.
I correlated these tax assessments with:
- slaveowner wills and inventories
- 1850 and 1860 slave census records, and
- the 1867 slave statistics
I used all of these together and got a pretty good picture of the slaveowner's family on this line: Nathan Cook. He enslaved my great-great-great grandfather Rezin Prather of Montgomery County, MD. In fact, this exercise gives me a good picture of many of the slaveowners in that county. I'm going to try to get it written up in some fashion to share it with others who may researching slave ancestry in the county.
The very next day I went to the Montgomery County Historical Society, which is hands-down the best I've ever been to. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly (sadly, everyone I encounter while researching is not friendly) and their resources are endless. I finally joined the Society..I wanted to support them since they have helped me so much. I copied family files and obituaries and maps and tons of books unavailable anywhere else. I found a book on the community of Goshen that had an entire chapter on "Prathertown", an area of Montgomery County founded by members of the Prather Family. A historical marker was placed at the site in a public ceremony in 2003. The photo in the header on this blog are many of Rezin Prather's descendants.
All this good information in two days. Nothing but a "genealogy high".
