- Rockies sign RHP Jon Garland to boost Colorado rotation
GLENDALE, Ariz. — When the Rockies signed right-hander Jon Garland on Sunday, they were looking for a cog in their groundball machine.
Tuesday night, at least, Garland fit the part.
Making his Rockies Cactus League debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Garland worked six innings, allowing one run on five hits. He induced 13 groundball outs vs. just four flyball outs. He threw just 72 pitches, 48 for strikes.
Garland, 33, is a sinkerball pitcher with a career 1.31 groundball-to-flyball ratio, which is one of the main reasons Colorado signed him to a one-year contract worth $500,000, with incentives.
Of course, one exhibition game doesn't mean much, and there are no guarantees Garland will help stabilize Colorado's questionable rotation. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2011, when he went 1-5 with a 4.33 ERA for the Dodgers as he battled shoulder pain. He missed the entire 2012 season following shoulder surgery, before signing a minor-league deal with Seattle in February. He opted out of his contract Saturday when it became clear he wasn't going to make the Mariners' starting rotation.
"We watched him all spring and really liked what we saw," Bill Geivett, vice president of major-league operations, said Tuesday. "He's a veteran guy we'd seen a lot of in the past and always liked him."

Whether he did it deliberately or not, there's no doubt about it: Dwyane Wade kicked Ramon Sessions in the groin area on Wednesday night.
To be fair, it wasn't exactly a kick. But then, it wasn't exactly Sessions' groin, either.

The incident occurred with a little more than 8 minutes left in the Miami Heat's win over the Charlotte Bobcats. Wade was bringing the ball up the wing, and Sessions appeared to foul him deliberately. Then—contact.
Understandably, the two had a discussion over it. Sessions, to his credit, bounced up quickly and was looking for an explanation. Wade clearly was saying that it was accidental—you can judge for yourself whether he was telling the truth. He wasn't called for a foul; Sessions was.
Wade led the Heat in scoring with 29 points in their 105-92 win. LeBron James had 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
Sessions added 19 points for the Bobcats (7-21), who haven't won since Nov. 24.

A crowd in Martin County erupted in cheers Monday when two-buses full of National Guard members pulled up.
The Alpha company has been deployed in Iraq for more than a year.
Forty-seven soldiers returned to Williamston Monday and their families and friends couldn't have been more excited to see them.
One solider told us the first thing he plans to do is take a shower -- another commented he'll be breaking out a sled and taking advantage of the recent snow.
The soldiers we spoke to say they feel like they made a difference in Iraq and hope their efforts pay off.
The Alpha company spent the last week in Georgia de-briefing and will be back together again in April for a ceremony honoring their efforts.

"Financial markets took a big tumble Wednesday on a series of lackluster economic reports, but the more distressing news was intellectual. Despite at least a decade of contrary evidence, the media and business classes still clamor for a miraculous housing recovery that will save the U.S. economy. The sooner we shed this illusion, the faster America will return to robust and sturdy growth." Editorial, 'The Housing Illusion', The Wall Street Journal, June 2, 2011
This Column has noted on several occasions during the past 12 months that political manipulation of the housing market has severely damaged the United States economy. The worst manipulations occurred over the period 2001-2007, following the dot.com stock market crash and subsequent economic recession of 2001-2. President George W. Bush , Congressman Barney Frank, and Senator Christopher Dodd were the worst of a very bad set of politicians. Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke demonstrated a depressingly low level of monetary expertise and independence in facilitating the political objectives of their masters.
The crude political goal of the deviants in charge of the U.S. government was to cram some 4-5 million additional households into a home-ownership that they could not feasibly afford. To this end, a monetary furnace roared to hold interest rates below underlying market values, government agencies were deployed to securitize mortgages of junk quality and to sell them off in brown paper packages to unsuspecting buyers, Households were encouraged to lie about their income status, and negative equities were welcomed as the basis for house purchase.
When the house price bubble burst in 2007, average prices were some 4o to 45 per cent above true market prices. So far average prices have fallen back some 32 per cent from the peak. They still have at least 10 per cent to go. So why has the market been so slow to clear?
Because a new set of politicians and bureaucrats, for crude electoral purposes, have intervened to try to stamp out the market adjustment. Among these, President Barack Obama, his first-round economic advisors, Summers and Romer, Congressman Barney Frank and former Senator Christopher Dodd, Ben Bernanke at the Fed. and Timothy Geithner at Treasury must be held primarily responsible.
Of the 4 to 5 million realistic renters lured unrealistically into home-ownership between 2001 and 2007, some 1.5 million are still there, maneuvering as best they can to evade economic reality. As the politicians pressure banks to delay foreclosures, and as they challenge their eviction decisions, so the rest of the economy pays a huge price. The over-hang in the market delays the ability and willingness of viable first-time buyers to enter the market, and delays the trickle down effect on construction, house furnishing and appliance acquisitions that would give the economy a genuine upward thrust.
A constitutional republic secures the government that it deserves. The evidence is now compelling that the majority vote in the United States is ill-educated in economics and careless of its long-term economic future. In such circunmstances, economic growth will be miniscule and stock markets will be increasingly volatile while they most likely trend downwards in the United States.

Commercial Theater Institute's Cornerstone 3-Day Weekend Producing Intensive To Feature Presentations Of Four New Musicals
April 03, 2013
April 19 – 21, 2013 at the Snapple Theater Center
The Commercial Theater Institute's (CTI) 32nd annual 3-Day Weekend Producing Intensive will take place on April 19 - 21, 2013 at the Snapple Theater Center (210 West 50th Street). For the first time, the 3 day course will feature a concentration on the creative development process. Four new musicals currently in development and participants in previous NAMT (National Alliance of Musical Theatre) Festivals of New Musicals will be presented, followed by a discussion and analysis of their commercial creative potential.
The conference offers practical information of interest to prospective producers, general managers, and investors. Sessions consists of presentations and panel discussions with experienced producers, general managers, entertainment attorneys, press representatives, advertising and marketing directors, designers and more, all of whom offer specific case histories that explore the various methods of developing theatrical productions.
"The conference is open to anyone interested in producing, co-producing, or investing in the commercial theatre - Broadway, Off-Broadway, Touring Broadway and elsewhere," says CTI Executive Director Jed Bernstein. "This year's line-up is especially well-rounded, combining all of the cornerstone sessions with a focus on the creative development process. It is a terrific introduction to the entire CTI curriculum."

Lady Gaga once again showed off her chameleonic tendencies while out in London yesterday.
Embracing a new (and undoubtedly short-lived) affinity for more fabric, the provocative songstress suited up in a Vivienne Westwood Gold Label grey jacket and pencil skirt from the Fall 2013 collection.
When it comes to the entertainer's no-holds-barred fashion oeuvre, this tailored ensemble and those basic nude Casadi 'Blade' pumps fall high on the conservative scale.
That said, Mother Monster didn't play a completely safe game with her street style. There was the peek of a baby-blue lace bra. And, of course, we cannot ignore the elephant in the room—her flowing goddess-Venus wig, intertwined with seashells and streamers.
A top hat, plumed in feathers and perched raucously atop that hair, capped off the look with more Gaga quirk.

Freitas Vineyard
Freitas Vineyard, located in the quaint town of Cottonwood, AZ, is a small micro winery that produces small quantities of intensely hand-crafted estate wines produced in the European tradition. Our mission is to produce fruit forward wines, well balanced in flavor, color and aroma in order to stimulate and enhance your wine tasting experience. The first wine vines were planted March 4, 2000. The initial concept for developing a vineyard came from a passion of growing things. First, there were gardens, then organic fruit, and eventually came the vines.
Our vineyard is known to be the second oldest in the Verde Valley, and from the start, it truly was an experiment. There are many factors that play a role in growing wine in the Valley. The choice of varietals that will flourish in this unique terroir has been critical. The challenges of the climatic conditions, water and vineyard management, and wine making skills combined contribute to the development of fine wines. This 'experimentation' process has led us to determine what varietals grow exceptionally well at Freitas Vineyard. As an example, our Malvasia Bianca has produced a consistent brilliant white wine full of tropical flavors and aromas. Our Petite Sirah produces a deep, dark, rich, bold wine. Our Merlot, Cabernet and Sangiovese are stellar in their own right.
The reason why these wines are unique and 'special' is because they aren't produced in such mass commercial quantities. The personal daily involvement is not only a passion but a true art of the heart of a wine maker, typically lost in larger enterprises.
Our goal is to value and appreciate your experience of wines that are produced in the Northern AZ valley. Our approach is personal and intimate. We strive for the highest quality by investing many personal hours of direct, hands on care. This kind of dedication is poured into each and every bottle. The commitment of Freitas Vineyard is to the person who will absolutely appreciate a one-of-a-kind wine experience. We produce honest, unique, delectable wines for a reasonable price because our wines are estate grown. Each vintage will be slightly different and representative of the year it was grown and harvested. No two vintages will ever been exactly the same.
We at Freitas Vineyard invite you to join us as we continue to grow and develop these fines wines one at a time, and thoroughly enjoy what each new year will bring.

At the risk of seeming like I'm no fun at all, I've decided to admit here that I'm completely opposed to eating meal-specific foods at the wrong times. I'm still getting over the shock I experienced at a fourth-grade slumber party when our hostess suggested we eat the previous night's pizza for breakfast. And I will probably never understand the appeal of "breakfast for dinner," which was my least favorite family meal when I waited tables. I always felt like the progress I'd made during a day spent writing, biking and whatever else-ing was erased the moment I sat down to a late-afternoon platter of pancakes and sausage links.
Since it's my idiosyncratic rule, I'm allowed to make exceptions. A fried egg is excellent no matter the hour, of course, especially when it's served atop an enchilada or a burger. And pie, which was once a common breakfast food, is equally good at anytime. Waffles too, depending upon how they're decorated, might qualify for a pass. No reason to wait until tomorrow for a waffle with basil and brie.
Here, our picks for the best waffles in Seattle. As always, Erin Thompson has compiled the contributors' comments that explain our selections, which are in no particular order - except for the winning waffle on the last page. Enjoy at any time you choose.
Meander's no-nonsense diner food is impeccable, particularly the breakfast items. Meander's Belgian waffles are delicious doused in syrup; you can also get a tasty bacon waffle or, for the sake of fun and indulgence, a bacon waffle dipped in chocolate.
9. Arosa Cafe
Everyone who knows anything about waffles, it seems, comes to Arosa. The draw here is the beautiful, small, irregularly shaped Liège waffles lifted straight from the irons, still hot, sticky with caramelized sugar, crunchy with fat crystals suspended in the golden batter, and served across the top of Arosa's short bakery case in crinkly paper envelopes.
8. Beth's Cafe
Beth's is famous for making 12-egg omelets, serving bottomless plates of hash browns and doing nothing whatsoever small. That includes the huge Belgian waffle--you can get a plain one topped with strawberries or blueberries and whipped cream or, if you're feeling greasier, a bacon waffle, featuring chunks of meat embedded in the batter.
Coastal Kitchen's brunch is almost always packed, but the gingerbread waffles are worth the wait. They're like huge, fluffy holiday cookies and come with a smear of honey orange butter. To balance out the sugar overload, the order also comes with a side of bacon and eggs.
6. Cortona Cafe
ralph and jenny
Cortona Cafe's waffles are made with Washington-grown, Shepherd's grain flour, rBGH-free milk, and local, cage-free eggs. The most popular waffle is the banana pecan, crowned with an entire sliced banana, a generous handful of toasted pecans, and whipped cream. There's a Tiramisu waffle, featuring a bitter shot of espresso and Matterhorn-esque topper of whipped cream, and a decadent Nutella strawberry waffle. But the plain waffle is just as lovely in its austerity, offering up nothing but crispy corners and sweet insides.
5. Monsoon
Monsoon isn't the first place you'd think of for a great gourmet Belgian waffle, but they've got one--it's crisp and comes topped with crème fraiche and a sweet seasonal fruit compote, like fresh apricots and spiced apples.
4. Local 360
Belltown's Local 360 serves brunch on weekends starting at 8 a.m., and the menu is full of hearty comfort dishes. The chicken is conveniently boneless, fried crispy and tender; a couple of good-sized pieces are served atop a plate-sized plain waffle, just waiting to be doused in maple syrup.
3. Skillet
Skillet's most famous waffle is notable for what's on top of it: In a perfect balance between savory and sweet, they serve a hunk of pork belly braised in apple juice, maple syrup, and chicken stock. Looking as thick and blockish as an unabridged dictionary, the pork belly comes perched atop a fleecy cornmeal waffle and paired with a precisely cooked fried egg.
2. Silver Fork
The waffles at Silver Fork are thin as a cheap blanket, crushed in a press that might just as well have WAFFLE HOUSE stamped into the iron, because they're indistinguishable from that Apollonian ideal of diner waffles. They're golden-brown, slathered in butter, and drowned in syrup from a jug on the table. It's a model waffle of a certain variety, a textbook diagram or something like it: not fat, soft, or steamy but crunchy, small, and sweet even before being doctored by the butter and the jug.
1. Sweet Iron
Waffle devotees waiting for their chance to push into Sweet Iron's tiny downtown dining room (three tables and almost no room for anything else), step up to the short service counter, and get their fix. Sweet Iron churns out Liège-style waffles--made from brioche dough, not batter, studded with little balls of pearl sugar--and then tops them with extras both sweet (chocolate, brûléed bananas, caramel sauce) and savory (basil, brie, bacon).

Close to due date, seem small
I'm 39 weeks and look so small. I dont go a day without someone surprised that I'm due on Sunday. It's hard because my doctor has done the measurements and though I'm lower on Fundal height they have been consistent measurements, heart rate is fine, and she moves when the doctors apply pressure. I also had a UltraSound at 37 weeks and estimate her weight to be about 7 lbs at due date. Now when anything is different: she slows her movement, I weight myself and I stay the same for weeks, I'm not particularly hungry, or I eat everything in sight..I worry. I've gained 30 lbs and started lower to normal BMI. Can someone give me advice on how to cope until labor? I know there isn't much I can do...just want to see and meet my baby.

My first daughter, who is now 5, came out 3 lbs. 15 oz. at birth full term. I was HUGE with her though, but, unlike most of the others who have replied back, I did have some minor and some major complications with the pregnancy. She still came out perfectly healthy (aside from low weight) and very alert. She's more advanced than most kids her age, and is always active. I'm now pregnant with my 2nd child, due in Oct. and I barely look like I'm 17 weeks. I remember being almost twice this size with my first at this point. Part of controlling one of my complications so I don't blow up again. But, aside from being small, I seem to be having more severe sickness with this one but it's continuing to grow healthy and on track. If your doctor isn't worried about it, then you shouldn't stress yourself out over it. Some people, are just lucky and don't get real big. :)posted 05/15/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Don't worry...everything is fine...I have had my share of challenges with my first child, and he was as healthy as could be...pregnant again, but I know for a fact that this pregnancy will be a healthy one for me and the babies.posted 02/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Just like you, I had concerns and asked the doctor but he said that everything is okay. i asked him because I have uterine fibroids. I had 3 when I discovered I was pregnant and a small one grew recently. I have 4 children and I am on my 5th and this pregnancy seems to be very diffent. I am not big at all and I am due the ending of March. I attribute this to me eating different from my other pregnancies. I am eating more healthier (lots of fruits and vegetables)with my other children I ate every and anything I wanted. However I am coming to realize that every pregnancy is different. Good luck and if your doctor is not concern just relax everything should be okayposted 02/01/2010 by natasjam7
Don't worry, even though it's impossible. I was huge, my tummy went straight out. Everyone thought I was going to give birth at any molment when I was just 5 months. Full term my daughter only weighted 6.4 lbs. My friend bearly ever showed, her baby was 8.5. As long as the doctor says everything is fine, everything really is fine. Feel lucky you aren't being harassed by every stranger about how huge you are. : )posted 12/13/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I recently had a baby who was small for dates - only 5lb5oz. I'm not sure why this happened as I had a good appetite and ate alot, and had no problems throughout the pregnancy - although did have a small belly and didn't put on alot of weight. I also had an excellent labor with no complications (it was my first). Although my bub was small she was fit and healthy and has been putting on weight exceptionally well since birth. People always comment on how bright and alert she appears. In fact she is actually more advanced than most other babies the same age, reaching her developmental milestones earlier. The doctors asked whether I smoked (no),drank (no), ate properly (yes)etc. In the end they couldn't find an answer and told me that for 50% of small for date babies there is no explanation.

We have some visitors. If you look out our kitchen window you can see two cranes just beyond the rooftops. Trey obligingly took some photos of them yesterday from our loft skylight enabling you to see the white steel structure they are working on. They've been here for several weeks working on the new University of Aberdeen sports stadium a couple of blocks away. When Addison first discovered them he squealed with delight one morning during breakfast, "Look, Mama! A cranky. And another cranky!" (except another is pronounced anudder) Cranky, you ask in bewilderment? Cranky the Crane is a character on the Island of Sodor who taunts and teases poor little Thomas the Train. Yes, in his exuberance, my son thinks cranes are actually called crankies. This leads me to his next latest question, "Mama, are they dangerous?" He asks me this regularly throughout the day about the most random items -- the vacuum cleaner, a banana peel. My brilliant reply has been, "All machines are a little dangerous," which obviously doesn't explain the dangers of banana peels, I realize, but does explain most other things. He also confuses the kinds of danger posed. For example, he's said to me, "Mama, the cars are dangerous. They will burn you." Well, not exactly, but close.
Back to the crankies. They are working on the construction of a £23 million regional sports center sponsored by the University of Aberdeen in association with the City Council. You can read more about it here. Construction should be complete in early 2009.
Ethan, Addison, and Davis on the tire swing.
Today I took the boys along with a friend and her son to one of the parks down by the beach. The weather was clear and sunny with little wind, a perfect spring day. We packed a picnic lunch and headed out with our buggies. The boys had a wonderful time exploring all the playground equipment and running after each other. I got some wonderful photos of them which really captured the colorful setting. The rest have been added to the Spring 2008 album.
It may look like a pool, but those boats are dry-docked. I'm not sure if they fill it with water in the summer or not. It was actually a great area to keep the kids "contained".
Yesterday Davis stood himself upright without holding on for the very first time. It took me completely by surprise. There is something hilarious and adorable about such a pint-size munchkin standing up full height at just about 2 1/2 feet tall. He could walk under tables. Clearly, walking independently is in his near future. I suspect my initial observation that he wouldn't be walking until 18 months was a bit of an overestimate. I'm revising that prediction to 16 months since he seems fairly content to be carried everywhere, and no one seems to mind since he's such a little peanut.
Saturday the bowlers returned! How we have missed them. About a week ago I was beginning to wonder where they were. I had a distinct memory that last year the season began in April, but there was no sign of our gray flannel trousered friends. The gardeners hadn't begun their work, and the lawn itself was looking a little sorry. But Saturday dawned fine and clear, and they came out in droves to kick off the season. Since then, every morning the gardeners have been outside clipping and fertilizing and generally refurbishing what can only be described as the best front garden view anyone could wish for. It's good to have them back.
Although I proceed from a great bird lover, my own interest and understanding of our feathered friends has been a little slow in developing. I have distinct childhood memories of my mother's "birding" adventures down to Cape May Point where some of the best migratory bird sightings in the country are possible and I know I have mentioned her famed "bird book" in which she documented annual sightings of such favorites as the elusive Kinglet. Little did I know that coming to the UK would unearth a whole array of new birds to enjoy. Since living on Orchard Road, I've wanted a birdfeeder. Our next door neighbors have one, but it's a little too far back to really enjoy the creatures it attracts. Several weeks ago while at Poundland, I discovered exactly what I was looking for -- a window birdfeeder that attaches with a suction cup. I purchased a bag of seed marked "meal worms" and proceeded home excited about the flock of feathers I would now draw to my kitchen window. Unfortunately, the meal worm seed turned out to literally have dried worms in it. Ugh. Was not expecting that. The seed sat in the feeder for days on end without so much as a nibble. I was getting discouraged and thinking that either I had selected the wrong feed or the birds were happier with our neighbors. But then, just a few days ago, I spotted our very first visitors pictured here. From my online investigations, they appear to be starlings. OK, so they're not the prettiest birds in the world or the rarest, but it's a step in the right direction. I have high hopes that the spring and summer months will bring with them many more winged patrons.
While at Cambridge, Trey had the incredible opportunity to go inside King's College Chapel and, ever the documentarian, he covertly videoed the interior (no pictures are allowed). In fact, the story of how he got inside is remarkable in and of itself. Just to get onto the College grounds costs about £3 and then another £12 to enter the Chapel. Trey wasn't going to pay that until just oustide the Chapel he ran into a friend and Cambridge alum from the conference they were attending who offered to bring him in as his guest for free.
Even as limited as the video is, the Chapel is breathtaking. Construction was completed in 1547, taking about 100 years to finish and making it a bit younger than the King's College Chapel here in Aberdeen. The beautiful fan-like ceiling is the largest of its kind in existence and is a classic feature of this type of Gothic architecture particularly found in England. The famous The Adoration of the Magi by Peter Paul Rubens is located in front of one of the 12 great windows in the Chapel. King's is also famous for its Christmas Eve service of Nine Lessons and Carols broadcast around the world courtesy of the BBC and heard by millions each year.
After the University itself, probably the next most famous feature of the town of Cambridge is its punting. The River Cam (hence Cambridge) runs right through the city and it's not uncommon to see flat boats called punts docked along its shores. Trey learned firsthand that the punting industry panders primarily to tourists the way double-decker buses do in London, and there is nothing more humorous than watching a group of visitors try to steer these unwieldy vessels. Around the middle of the video you can witness this for yourself as you hear a group of American guys trying to accomplish the task. What most travellers don't know is that students at Cambridge take great delight in stealing punting poles from unsuspecting tourists as their punt passes below the College bridges, so watch out if you ever go!
Punting in Cambridge is done from the till deck at the rear of the boat instead of from within the boat as is done at Oxford. Presumably this minimizes "dripping" on the boat's passengers and aids in steering by allowing the pole to be swung behind the steerer. Because of this tradition, the punts in Cambridge have reinforced decks to support the added weight.
I have finally posted the Cambridge pictures. They are in the Cambridge 2008 album in the right-hand column.
I was able to finish the video faster than expected, but, boy, it was difficult to edit down all the footage to just a few minutes. The compilation follows the trip's chronological progression from the train ride down (the reason for the shifting scenery depends on which side of the train Trey filmed from), to the Castle itself, various street performers along the Royal Mile, the Museum of Childhood, the John Knox house across the street from the Museum, back up to the Castle where we spotted a band of Beefeaters, and then on back to Aberdeen. The last shot is from the Tay Bridge just outside of Dundee. The water was as smooth as glass, which is unbelievably remarkable for an area of the country along the North Sea where the wind is as ubiquitous as the Doric brogue. Both boys loved the train ride. It was the perfect way to soak in the splendor of this great land.
While rewatching this video I am reminded again of what a rare privilege it is to live in a place like Scotland surrounded by all this natural beauty and history. I don't ever want to take it for granted.
We had a truly magnificent time in Edinburgh on Saturday. Both Trey and I agreed that from now on, at least with the children, we'll take the train instead of the bus when we travel down to Edinburgh. The ride was quick, convenient, and stunningly beautiful. The train skirted the coastline for most of the journey affording breathtaking views of the cliffs in Aberdeenshire and the sandy strand in Fife. I am working on a video compilation of our excursion which should be done in a few days' time, but in the interim here are a few of my favorite pictures from our day trip. The rest are in the Edinburgh Spring 2008 album.
Setting out on our journey.
Mommy and D.
Edinburgh Castle.
The incredible view over the city from high atop Edinburgh Castle. Look at all those daffodils!
The dog cemetery where royal and military pooches are laid to rest.
The Holloway Clan along the Forewall Battery. We are trying to do a better job of getting family photos since we recently realized we have very few.
Side view of the Castle.
The Holloway men in front of the Scottish National War Memorial, a tribute to all Scots who have fallen in the line of duty since World War I.
William Wallace and his entourage.
One of the many alleyway stairwells along the Royal Mile.
A very tired D snoozing while we had lunch.
The Museum of Childhood, a wonderful and free place along the Royal Mile to take children who need a break from sightseeing.
Addison and Trey in front of an antique child's car in the Museum of Childhood.
The John Knox house.
An amusing sign inside Knox's house. The Scots are generally diminutive, which means I fit right in.
Inside the John Knox house.
A table and chair with a Knox cap and cape for visitors' wearing pleasure.
Our Mr. Knox contemplating grave theological matters.
An anti-Scientology rally. Not sure what all the fuss was about. Perhaps Tom Cruise was in town?
A statue poser knighting a doll. No he is not stabbing her although it does look that way in the photo.
The gate to Edinburgh Castle.
A band and soldiers waiting outside the Castle.
The Firth of Forth (or the Fifth of Sixth as we jokingly call it) on the train ride home.
Addison getting a little punchy by the end of the day.
The setting sun.
I love when we do this -- plan impromptu trips. Yesterday I found out from a friend that this weekend is Free Weekend sponsored by Historic Scotland. More than 70 of their castles are free to the public that day, Edinburgh Castle among them. Normal admission is £11 for adults, £5.50 for children, which would set us back over $50 just to get in. We decided to take advantage of this limited time offer and make a day trip to Edinburgh. I priced the train since we've never done it before, and it was far less expensive than hiring a car for the weekend (especially with petrol currently at $8/gallon). Of course, the bus is always cheapest, but we can get their more quickly and with no stops via train. It was worth the splurge. Plus, we've heard that the views from the train are incomparable.
You can imagine Addison's delight when we informed him we were going by train to Edinburgh tomorrow. He wanted to know if we would be riding Gordon.
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
Matthew 6.27
One of my greatest personal struggles, one which has only been amplified in motherhood, is thinking that I can control my life. What relief it is to lay such an ungainly burden at the foot of the cross. What a gracious God we serve who will carry that weight for us. I would do anything for my children -- even die for them. How much more have I already been given by my perfect heavenly Father?
And so my delight at Davis's growth was blissfully overshadowed by the sudden realization that it didn't matter.
Before too much time elapses since Trey's trip down to Oxford, I thought I should finish blogging about it. I promised to tell you more about the college where he stayed. Oxford and Cambridge both have this wonderful program called University Rooms which rents out unused dorm space to visitors for a very good rate. It even includes breakfast in their dining hall. It is significantly cheaper than getting a room at a bed and breakfast (Oxford is frightfully expensive even by Aberdeen standards) but definitely a step above a hostel for those who find such communal accommodations unacceptable.
The room was basic but had a beautiful view onto the Keble College quad. The College was established in 1870 and named after John Keble, an important member of the Oxford Movement, a pleasant coincidence since part of Trey's first dissertation done back at Westminster dealt with the Oxford Movement. Keble is one of the largest of all the Colleges at Oxford with nearly 650 combined undergraduate and graduate students. Allegedly, there is a fierce rivalry between Keble and nearby St. John's College. The students of St. John's look down upon the buildings at Keble and even began a secret society whose entrance "fee" was a brick from Keble. The hope was that eventually in this way Keble would be entirely dismantled.
Here is some panoramic video of the College. To my eyes which are so accustomed to granite, the brick seems quintessentially English.
It may look impressive, but if you mosy on over to the British Airways website and notice the first thing that pops up, a special button with an exclamation point saying "Heathrow Terminal 5 - Information Update", you get an understated first glimpse at the woes that have plagued the airline and its new home since March 14th, the day the Queen opened it to the public. The problems have been almost daily in the news. At first British Airways dismissed them as "teething troubles", but now weeks after opening, it's gotten a little out of hand. Between flight cancellations and luggage handling problems (luggage was making it onto flights without accompanying passengers and vice versa), it has been a royal nightmare, pun intended. A good friend of ours was scheduled to fly through there on Sunday back up to Aberdeen, and her flight was cancelled allegedly due to the snow in Aberdeen. She had to queue for at least two hours just to reschedule her flight. What a nightmare. The opening of this new terminal was supposed to solve many of the British Airways headaches at Heathrow, a glitzy new terminal just for them. However, in the wake of this disaster, their stock has dropped and they risk the longer term effects of losing customers disgusted by the experience. A lot of the chaos has been blamed on computer glitches, but really. Somewhere in the 15 years of planning and £4.3 billion spent on the facility, could they have provided adequate training and working computers? Or perhaps contingency plans? Just a thought.
I'm not sure if this is something to be proud about or ashamed of, but I just finished filing my taxes all by myself for the first time. When I say all by myself, I mean with Trey but without the help of our accountant, who has always done them in the past. For the first time we had foreign earned income to semi-complicate the tax situation. I feel about filing taxes much the same way I feel about exercise. If I don't think about it, it doesn't exist. Very rational, I know. But we both knew we needed to do 2 things: 1) figure out if we owed any money and then 2) figure out if we even needed to file. The answer to both questions turned out to be NO. However, in the interest of taking advantage of the economic stimulus package passed by Congress, we needed to file. It was amusing how long it took the two of us, 5 degrees between us, to complete our simple forms. But no one gets extra points for speed, and in the end the taxes are done and mailed.
Now just waiting for that helpful check from dear Uncle Sam.
I have finally finished downloading all of Trey's Oxford and Cambridge pictures and video. There is much more to come, I promise. Here are a few of the highlights of his time in Oxford. The rest of the pictures are in the Oxford 2008 album.
Aerial view of All Souls College from the top of St. Mary's Cathedral.
A view of All Souls from the ground.
"Grow Your Own" -- Oxford graffiti on the ugly underbelly of All Souls.
Cathedral Church of St. Mary.
The Sheldonian Theatre designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the 17th century flanked by the "Heads" of Oxford on the gate out front. These 12 heads represent no one in particular, perhaps the 12 caesars or the 12 apostles. The heads have been replaced at least once due to pollution damage, and possibly twice according to one report due to student defacement with paint.
The Heads.
The Eagle and Child, home of the Inklings.
Martyrs' Monument to Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, and Hugh Latimer who were burned at the stake for their Protestantism under the reign of Mary Tudor ("Bloody Mary").
Trey said that there were many more bicyclers in Oxford than you see here in Aberdeen. Many of the pictures he took have bicycles parked at strategic points. In the background here you can see construction going on at the Bodleian Library.
Check out this massive tree that is being supported by huge steel posts because the limbs are too heavy. The building behind it is Christ Church College.

Mild brain injury - child - discharge; Brain injury - mild - discharge; Mild traumatic brain injury - child - discharge; Closed head injury - child - discharge
Your child was treated for a concussion. This is a mild brain injury that can result when the head hits an object or a moving object strikes the head. It can affect how your child's brain works for a while. It may also have made your child lose consciousness for a short time. Your child may have a bad headache.
Healing from a concussion takes days to weeks or even months. Your child's condition will slowly improve.
Your child may use acetaminophen (Tylenol) for a headache. DO NOT give aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, Naproxen), or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Feed your child foods that are easy to digest. Light activity around the home is okay. Your child needs rest but does not need to stay in bed. It is very important that your child does not do anything that results in another, or similar, head injury.
Have your child avoid activities that need concentration, such as reading, homework, and complex tasks.
When you go home from the emergency room, it is okay for your child to sleep:
As long as your child has symptoms, your child should avoid sports, hard play at recess, being overly active, and physical education class. Ask the doctor when your child can return to their normal activities.
Make sure your child's teacher, physical education teacher, coaches, and school nurse are aware of the recent injury.
Talk to teachers about helping your child catch up on school work. Also ask about timing of tests or major projects. Teachers should also understand that your child may be more tired, withdrawn, easily upset, or confused. Your child may also have a hard time with tasks that require remembering or concentrating. Your child may have mild headaches and be less tolerant of noise. If your child has symptoms in school, have your child stay home until feeling better.
Talk with teachers about:
Based on how bad the head injury was, your child may need to wait 1 to 3 months before doing the following activities. Ask your child's doctor about:
Some organizations recommend that your child stay away from sports activities that could produce a similar head injury, for the rest of the season.
If symptoms do not go away or are not improving a lot after 2 or 3 weeks, follow-up with your child's doctor.
Call the doctor if your child has:

Hi folks,
How often should i water new seedlings?
Simple answer-when it is needed-it is not a matter of time
Lift the pot/tray-is it light?-is the compost a paler colour?-then water-but never water on a regular basis-you can kill with kindness
thank you
only tend to put abit in anyway, just to just cover the bottom of the trays
You're watering from the bottom, Nicholas? I wouldn't with seedlings. You can't judge the dampness of the mix. Water from the top, let the mix pretty much dry out without leaving them bone dry.
yeah watering from bottom to save disturbing the seeds
You didn't say what type of seedlings, but some, such as tomatoes and chillies, are better watered in the morning, so that they don't get chilled at night.
Nicholas - what seedlings are you talking about?
I never have problems watering from the bottom using a good seed compost and adaquate drainage. It only takes a minute or so if you are using a shallow tray. The advantage about bottom watering is that you make sure the water is reaching the roots and that the foliage remains dry. Always make sure that your compost is thoroughly wetted before sowing. There is also less chance of washing the soil away with bottom watering. Even misting can disturb new seedlings. Do not go by the top colour of the compost this is not an indication how wet the mix is. It seems to me you are doing the right thing, if the compost does appear very dry just carry on as you have been doing watering from the bottom.
I water from the bottom. As Terry says, it's where the roots are. I assess need to water by weight of tray/pot
my lettuce are leggy what sould I do with them they are still tiny
Leggy is usually an indication of a lack of light. Even when the temps were relatively low here, I put most of my seedlings out on the terrace wrapped in a couple of layers of bubble wrap for what sun there was. The wrap generated sufficient warmth inside, the sun provided the crucial light.
gosh that shows my ignorance I thought it was the opposite but how much sun gets through the bubble wrap can I still plant the leggy seedlings and if so shld I put them in deep -methinks I shld start again
Jak, it's the light that goes straight through the bubble wrap. The light is the crucial thing. Clear bubble wrap, obviously. Before I put them outside I had them under a couple of bright desk lamps inside, the globes about 2" above the seedlings.
How big are the leggy seedlings? If they're not ready to plant out yet you can try resetting them down deeper and giving them as much light as possible.

It's hard to believe it's been just over a week since the devastating tornadoes in Shawnee and Moore, Oklahoma. The Red Cross and other support groups are doing a fantastic job of helping victims of the disaster. America's peanut farmers and the entire peanut industry want to help as well.
Last week, the National Peanut Board made a donation of $10,000 to Peanut Proud, a non-profit organization established to help people in need throughout the year and in times of disaster by providing donations of peanut butter to food banks and emergency management organizations. Peanut butter is often the most-requested item by food banks nationwide because it's shelf stable, ready-to-eat and nutrient dense.
"The hearts and prayers of everyone in the peanut industry are with the people of Oklahoma," said Gregg Grimsley, Peanut Proud president. "Due to the outpouring of support from peanut and agricultural organizations and individuals who have donated to the disaster relief, we expect to deliver more than 60,000 jars of peanut butter and peanut products to Oklahoma families in these hard-hit areas." Individuals can contribute to Peanut Proud's Oklahoma relief campaign at www.PeanutProud.com.
The first donations were delivered earlier this week and Peanut Proud plans to send additional peanut products and other supplies later this week. National Peanut Board delegate for Oklahoma Gayle White was on-site for the first donation delivery. "I live in Frederick, Oklahoma, which is about 120 miles from the tornado areas. The communities of Shawnee and Moore have been devastated and we hope that the outpouring of donations from Peanut Proud will help them get through this difficult time."
Here are some of the other organizations that have made donations on behalf of America's peanut farmers, processors, manufacturers and retailers: Alabama Peanut Producers Association, American Blanching, American Peanut Council, American Peanut Shellers Association, B&G Seed Processors, Clint Williams Company, Damascus Peanut Company, Florida Peanut Producers Association, Georgia Federal State Inspection Service, Georgia Peanut Commission, Kroger, Lineage/Flint River Services, Mississippi Peanut Growers Association, National Peanut Board, National Peanut Buying Points Association, Sanfillipo & Son, Southern Ag Carriers, Texas Peanut Producers Board and Virginia-Carolina Peanut Promotions.

They were joined by Mike Kubicek of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission (back row second from right), Joe D.

Mop mop mop. all day long..
This review is from: BISSELL 1940 PowerFresh Steam Mop
Pros: Solid, easy to fill tank, comes with 2 sets of 2 pads each, does not flood the floors, has a handy scrubbing brush. Good surface coverage (the pad is large enough) and the mop is heavy enough to provide enough friction to scrub floors.
Cons: I wish the handle twisted 90 degrees for compact storage (but show me one mop that does that)
Other Thoughts: ... mop mop mop, while I sing this song....

Works Great, Very Satisfied
This review is from: BISSELL 1940 PowerFresh Steam Mop
Pros: This is only the second review of anything I have ever submitted, but felt that the Bissell 1940 Steam Mop deserved a positive review. Our 30+ year old light colored linoleum floor has practically no wear but the shallow wide grooves and pebble finish have collected dirt and grime in the high traffic areas that we could not remove with any commercial cleaner, or suggestions on the internet that we also tried. Although the floor was mopped weekly with a floor detergent, we could not lighten the high traffic areas to normal color, even with scrubbing with a stiff brush. Since the linoleum was sold a special compound at that time (can't remember the trade name), and never needs wax, we did not want to try stripping it. We considered buying a steam mop, but reviews suggested many reliability problems and poor results. We were about to replace the linoleum when a price special on the Bissell Steam Mop appeared on NewEgg, and decided to order one since the investment, with rebate, was minimal. The results have been amazing. The mop pad after the first use (with heavy scrubbing) was almost black with dirt, and the linoleum was almost normal color. Three subsequent scrubbings over the next 3 weeks removed more dirt and grime (after first sweeping and mopping the linoleum with a floor detergent), and has restored the linoleum to almost new condition in terms of surface color. The steam mop pad again showed much dirt had been removed from the linoleum, but each time was less dark than the previous scrubbing. The brush built into the Bissell Steam Mop was used continuously during mopping, and seemed to help remove the dirt in the textured surface. I am extremely satisfied with the Bissell 1940 Steam Mop. The reason for only 4 eggs is because the heavy duty mop pad wants to curl under the mop head at the front edge, thus preventing 100% contact of the mop with the floor, and causing the curled under pad to become dirtier than the adjacent pad. See Cons below.
Cons: The heavy duty mop pad curls under the mop, along the front, during use. It absolutely does not stay in place during heavy moping. The solution is to sew a piece of velcro to the tag that is near the center of the front edge of the mop, and place a mating piece of velcro with a strong adhesive back, on the top of the mop head in a position that will keep the mop pad slightly stretched and in place . The top part of the mop head does not get hot, and the velcro adheres very well. With this fix, I would give the Bissell 1940 Steam Mop 5 eggs.
Other Thoughts: I use only distilled water. There have been no problems with the mop so far. I did buy the extended warranty (which I rarely do) in the event problems develop.

This review is from: BISSELL 1940 PowerFresh Steam Mop
Pros: sale price saved $20
Cons: paid $20 to ship it back
Other Thoughts: Purchased this steam mop on sale used it twice before it started leaking water. Contacted Bissell customer service for repair or replacement and they told me to return it to the retailer. Purchased it online and it cost $20 to return it, so much for a good buy. That aside Bissell customer service is terrible and this will be my first and last purchase of a Bissell product of any kind.

U.S. 35 meeting is Monday in Winfield
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A transportation meeting will be held at 8:30 a.m. Monday in the County Commission chambers of the Putnam County Courthouse to discuss a dangerous intersection on U.S. 35.
A representative from the West Virginia Division of Highways will be on hand, according to Commissioner Andy Skidmore.
Earlier this month, a tractor-trailer overturned and spilled a still undetermined amount of disinfectant chemical across the Buffalo Bridge, causing a 4-mile stretch of U.S. 35 to be shut down for hours.
Numerous other accidents have occurred on this particular stretch of U.S. 35. Plans to complete the remaining 14.2 miles of the highway have been on hold as officials grapple with how to fund the project.

Respond to Review of Bombay Aloo
by upior
Review: I used to love this restaurant. Each time when we were in Brighton we were eating there because it's in the centre, it's not expensive and the food was always good enough. They also always pointed out which dishes are not vegan. Unfortunately last two times when we were eating there I ended up being unwell. I heard few times the waiters saying that they do own also a meat reastaurant so I do not trust them anylonger. After being unwell twice after eating there I don't think I will visit them again.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Schmidt Brewery sign is once again lighting up St. Paul skies.
A year and a half after work began, the brewery turned "artist lofts" is nearly finished.
The project includes the new full-scale replica of the historic sign.
The old sign went away in 1990 when the Minnesota Brewing company bought out Schmidt.

When Toronto leadoff batter Melky Cabrera took Masahiro Tanaka deep in the first inning, people wondered how Tanaka would handle it. Well, after a shaky first two innings in which he gave up three runs (two earned), Tanaka settled down and when all was said and done, he pitched seven innings, kept Toronto at three runs, gave up six hits, struck out eight and didn't surrender a walk.
I'd say his debut was a success.
There was bad news from the game. Mark Teixeira had to exit after straining his hamstring trying to run down a foul ball hit by Cabrera. He was replaced by Kelly Johnson. I guess it's good that it wasn't a wrist injury but you never want to see a hamstring injury either because those can be just as tricky.
I guess we can use this again:
Jacoby Ellsbury returned to the starting lineup and made the most of it by going 3-4 with two doubles, two stolen bases, a walk and two runs scored. He also made a nice sliding catch to end the sixth inning.
Ichiro Suzuki also had a nice night finishing 3-5 with two runs scored. Yangervis Solarte, who has been impressing everyone so far in 2014, went 2-5 with three RBI. He hit a two-run double in the third inning to give the Yankees a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
- The Yankees scored seven runs.
- The bullpen had another nice night and though Dellin Betances made things slightly scary with two walks, he got one out in the eighth inning when he needed it.
- The Yankees had four stolen bases – two by Ellsbury, one by Brian Roberts and one by Brett Gardner.
- Teixeira's hamstring. This could be a big problem. The Yankees don't have much of a Tex injury contingency plan and after 2013's debacle of a season, you think they would. Maybe Kelly Johnson can fill in and Solarte can man third?
- Betances' two walks were the kind that exposed his out of whack mechanics that tend to get him into trouble from time to time.
- The Yankees still haven't hit a home run. The Royals are the only other team with this distinction.
One last thing…
- Joe Girardi was 1-2 in challenges tonight. Ichiro was called safe after a review – the initial call was 'out' – and Ellsbury was rightly called out after a review.
The Yankees are now 2-2 on the season and Michael Pineda will be making his season debut tomorrow afternoon.
