|Tom Cleary, one of the owners of the Cody label in Chicago sent me these scans of the Tills 45. Tom writes about the Tills:
"A southwest side Chicago group Cody recorded in 1967 at Sound Studios. I met them at a performance and turned the recording element over to my partners. Stu Black, Chicago's preeminent sound engineer of the day ran the session. They had limited play on radio station WCFL in Chicago. It exists as a DJ copy only."
Both sides are fantastic upbeat pop. "One Sided Love" has a siren-like guitar riff, good harmonies, and sharp drumming."I Remember" is similar with fine vocal arrangements and a very Byrds-like guitar solo. Either side could have been a hit with a little luck. A great band but who are they? No credits on the label, so until some contracts are found we're in the dark.
Thanks to Tom for sharing his memories of the Tills and scans of their 45. Transfers taken from a Sound Studios acetate via Gyro1966's comps.

One of the original principals of Cody Records, Ron Henningsen, passed away in August of 2010. Ron's name comes up frequently in the narrative of Cody. He was involved in the recording aspects of the company.

Ask a Question
- Make sure you don't over-pack. While it is good to have everything, carrying extras you won't use is a pain - especially when you have to lug the suitcase around!
- Bring a laptop, portable DVD player, and movies to keep you occupied.
- Have a parent or friend check over your list to make sure you're not missing anything.
- Have an emergency kit with you. Keep allergy or other types of medicine, just to be safe.
- If travelling with a group, divide essential items between suitcases; this way, if one suitcase is lost, each person will still have some clothing and supplies.
- Have medical papers, and other important papers with you always.
- Bring a pillow, especially if your traveling by car.
- Find out how locals dress to avoid looking like a tourist. In general, shorts are generally not preferred in most areas- consider taking long pants (and/or skirts for women). This also provides extra protection from the sun.
- Bring anything you think will be entertaining.(You never know)
- Roll up if you don't have enough space.

These are stunning, and have really transformed our house into a cozy place! I had them hung in front of white wood blinds, with grey walls behind...and they are stunning. They allow plenty of light in, but, really soften the effect of the blinds....
mshodag from Katy,Tx., 06/05/2015
These sheers are stunning. I hung them in front of white wood blinds, and we have grey walls. The effect is beautiful. The house is much more cozy, but we still have enough light coming in, and can still see the pool and gardens through them...they really soften the rooms...we have had many compliments on them.
Beautiful curtains with alternating voile and linen stripes. The gray is very dark and looks almost black in my lighting. The beige stripe is a light cream. The differing textures of the stripes adds interest to a room. The colors didn't work with my rug, so I had to return them.
trp60 from WVUSA, 06/05/2015
Very pretty sheers. I wanted something in my living room that would allow me to see out but would make it difficult to see into the house. This works great. I wanted something attractive but not too feminine. The colors are gray and off white.
marieglewis from Pasadena,California, 06/05/2015
Beautiful and good quality curtains.....loving them in my house!
plumeriany from FortMyers,FL, 06/05/2015
This is a nice quality curtain, but I didn't realize that so much of it (all the "clear"-ish parts) are made of voile. It's very shiny. It could be totally fine depending on what you're going for, but that wasn't the material or look I wanted, so I returned it.
alskdjf from wyoming, 06/05/2015
Beautiful summer cabana feeling to these curtains.
While I wish these curtains were washable, I understand that the linen weave in the stripes could be compromised. I bought 2 panels and hung them in a wide window without gathering. They bring a breezy beach cabana feel to our sunny bedroom and work very well with the sand, driftwood, and blue tones already in the room. Everyone loves the finished product!

Lincoln High School rodeo kids wrap up season
By: Liz Kellar The News Messenger
It was time to say goodbye for the outgoing seniors at the Lincoln High School Rodeo May 3-4, as they attended the last rodeo of the California High School Rodeo Association. According to District Three Secretary Cindy Tyler, the last weekend of the regular rodeo season saw a great turnout, including approximately 30 members of a Sun City Lincoln Hills singles club that attended in Saturday. Some of the group enjoyed the outing so much, Tyler said, that they returned on Sunday. "At this weekend's closing ceremonies, we had a real nice send-off for our seniors on horseback, playing their farewell thank-yous and good-byes on cassette as they rode their horses around the arena one by one," Tyler said, adding that many in attendance got choked up. "It's so hard to see them go — so hard to see them get their wings and fly onto the next steps in their lives," Tyler said. "We truly have a great bunch of really good kids here in District Three. I am thankful to be able to be a part of this." Tyler said the district has a scholarship program and this year, with the help of a "side of beef" fundraiser donated by the Deforest family of Wheatland and other donations, they were able to up the scholarship fund awards to $10,000 from the previous year's total of $8,000. District 3 had 25 seniors graduating this year and only 12 applied for scholarship funds. Of the Lincoln students in this weekend's rodeo, senior Jillian Caldwell placed seventh in poles on Sunday. Senior Thea Hardy placed ninth Saturday in barrel racing. Team roping partners Luke White and Hailye Ioppolo placed sixth Saturday and fourth Sunday, placing fourth for the weekend; they ended up in sixth place for the season. Team roping partners Austin Tyler and Clint Tipton placed second Sunday and sixth for the weekend, ending up in fifth place for the season; they will advance to the state finals June 15-21 in Bishop. Tyler placed second Sunday in steer wrestling and second overall for the season, also qualifying for state in that event. Adrianna Novi placed eighth overall for the season in barrel racing. Dillon Everts, a senior this year, did not place this weekend but still placed first for the season in bull riding, moving on to the state finals.

An otter is an evil amphibious (that means it lives in water, people) creature that spends its time mostly in water while hunting for food in various bodies of water. I only spent a few minutes on this essay, so don't expect much of anything. I'm not a good writer, either, so keep that in mind. Also, otters are not very interesting creatures, so this page will probably get deleted. Okay, let's get started.
Diet and behavior
Otters must eat 57.2 pounds of fish each day in order to survive. The fish are not fond of this arrangement, and are currently taking their case to court. Otters can also injest at least three (3) Red Oak trees per week, thus causing a horrid battle of perplexities as mankind has a strong need for Red Oak trees to produce toilet tissue, fine china cabinets and wood grain for luxury automobiles.
It has been "scientifically" "proven" that Otters are the root cause of drought, as their fur and dams can absorb up to two thousand (2000) gallons of water per month, which leads to drought and vegetation loss. This is why otters are considered the "Evil Rat" of the Pestimus Onoanervesssf family of possums. Well, okay, maybe that was all false, but it makes my essay that much longer.
Otters probably sleep for, like, twenty-three (24) hours per day, because they have no natural predators... or fuckin' JOBS. The fact that we Americans support otters with our precious tax dollars only underscores the need for this essay. Okay, I don't really know anything about otters. It's too bad, too, cuz I have an essay to write on Otters, and I'm running out of time. Hopefully, I can list Uncyclopedia in my bibliography along with wild rumors and the telephone game. DAMN YOU OTTERS! HOW CAN I WRITE 27 PAGES ON YOU??!?
Why are otters so damn boring?
First of all, they're small. Any animal that's small is not likely to get put in zoos. "Oh mommy, let's go see the otters?" I don't think so. That kid had best calm themselves down. Just like the Theory of Creation, it's been "scientifically" "proven" that otters are extremely boring. But enough with the facts, what does Wikipedia have to say about otters? Let's listen:
Uh, okay, that obviously was not about otters. Sorry about that. What can you expect? Otters are the most boring animals alive. My eyes glazed over before I could see what I was copying and pasting! Scientists have shown that otters aren't even half as smart as the average human. Not. Even. Half. Can you imagine that? Good lord! I've met some humans, and let me tell ya, they're huge dumbasses.
The question here, is, why are they boring? We've established the fact that they're boring, but why? Where does the boredom with otters arise? Otters have been around, oh, for thousands of years. In that time, what have they accomplished? I ASK YOU: WHAT HAVE THEY ACCOMPLISHED? Absolutely nothing. They certainly haven't stopped global warming, if THAT'S what you're asking. In spite of this, I have a 40 page essay to write on them due tomorrow!! Maybe my teacher's an otter? Are otters the ones that build dams?
What have otters not accomplished?
Otters are the least productive members of the animal kingdom, or so I am lead to believe. Lord they are lazy animals! I thought cats were lazy, but no: at least cats can hunt! Yeah, sure, otters eat fish: the only animal more stupid than they are. The only thing otters have accomplished is giving mammals a bad name. They're making us look bad in front of the other classes!
For one thing, they haven't solved the global energy crisis. This is a big thing for me: my mom runs the organic foodmart, and she's a big mucky-muck around there. She says that animals are better than people at cleaning up the Earth. It's true: most animals ARE. However, any animal that sleeps more than they're awake can't be good for the environment.
Since the evolution of otters, things have been getting worse. Think about it: wouldn't things be better without otters ottering around all the damn time? EAT YOUR FISH AND SHUT UP!
What I propose to do
Now, I'm not saying we should kill all the otters: that's not proactive. I think we should, however, put them in work camps. Otters have had it too good for too long. Maybe, instead of fucking and swimming, and fucking up swimming for the rest of us, they should just get jobs or something.
I know what you're thinking: "But what if they take our jobs?" I say to thee, "don't worry!" They would do very poorly in office jobs and the like, and they could probably do only the most basic of manual labor, such as putting caps on bottles or something.
Otters have only one thing on their side: they're kinda cute. Don't lose your resolve! They are still the laziest god-damned things in the universe, including the Andromeda Galaxy! We should not allow these freaks of nature to hide out in zoos or rivers, or whatever!
Oh shit, how is this gonna help me with my DAMNED 75 PAGE ESSAY?!?!
The Physiognomy of the River Otter
In lieu of my 900 page essay, my discussion on otters should begin at the beginning. River otters, the first form of mammals, evolved over 800 million years ago from an advanced form of very lazy reptiles. Not to be confused with moose, otters have few or no antlers of any kind whatsoever. Living in tightly nested social groups on the Sereingetthi grasslands of Africa, otters hunt in packs on gazelle and other medium sized game.
"Otter" from the Native American word meaning "Are you just gonna sit there all day? I've got buffalo to catch and teepees to construct! Why don't you help me with that you dumb animal!", otters have been present in literature in various forms throughout history. Usually a symbolic animal for "dishonesty" and "laziness", the otter is the most hated, most evil, animal in all history.
the assignment was on BADGERS.

Year 1 of marriage – what I've learned so far
This weekend, my husband, Alex, and I will celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary.
We'll be spending it walking down memory lane in Chico, where we first met almost five years ago. And we'll probably reminisce about our happy wedding day and remember everything we've been through in year one of marriage.
It's been a year full of dealing with death and divorce in our families, but also celebrating career changes and cheerful times.
It's also been filled with lessons in life and love.
As I look back on year one, I know there has been so much I've learned and will continue to learn as the years go on.
'Keep holding hands'
On our wedding invitations, we asked guests to include a piece of advice to us. Some were silly, but others were heartfelt. Some advised up to remember to be each other's best friend, while others said to memorize the phrase, "I'm sorry, honey. You're right."
"Keep holding hands," was my grandmother's advice.
She and my grandfather were married for more than 50 years before he passed away.
One of the biggest things I've learned in year one of marriage is that Alex and I are on the same team. Holding hands reminds me of that. He's my biggest cheerleader and vice versa.
Pick your battles
A piece of advice that my parents passed along to Alex and me was to pick your battles.
Sometimes this is easier said than done. Is it worth it to fight over the cap left off the toothpaste or a dirty dish in the sink? Probably not.
My parents live by this motto – which I think is part of their successful almost 30-year marriage. They've learned what is worth bringing up and what should be just brushed off.
Be happy with what you have
Within the last year, our income slashed drastically as Alex went back to school full time. We've had to get creative with our spending and "date nights," but have learned to be happy with what we have now.
We have a nice house together, a rambunctious puppy, a stubborn cat, good friends and family and are able to put food on the table. Despite not being able to go out to dinner or travel as much as we'd like, we have everything we need. But as friends go on trips to Europe and are updating their houses, it's hard not to want to try to keep up with Joneses. But we've learned to live happily within our means.
Respect each other
Another piece of advice I received while Alex and I were still dating was that respect is so important in marriage. It can be as simple as your tone of voice or common courtesy. I think sometimes people take their spouses for granted – not thanking them for what they do.
We each have our "chores" around the house, but we try to remember to appreciate what the other does.
Some say the first year of marriage is the hardest. Although it has been full of changes and ups and downs, I think Alex and I came out from year one as a stronger and closer couple. We've experienced so much together and I know there's so much more yet to come.

Trails are rivers of life for the cross country skier, allowing one to voyage deep into forests without disturbing nature's pulse.
The late Ben Francy understood this well. It is fitting that he is being honored at the Anthony Lakes ski area for his contribution to the development of its Nordic trail system.
The ski area has added 10 kilometers to its cross country trail network, which now totals about 45 kilometers. A portion of the new trails at Anthony Lakes are known as the Francy Loops. They are named in honor of Ben Francy who died in a car accident 11 years ago. He was a Nordic and alpine ski instructor, an artist, a musician and an archeologist. Francy was a graduate of Union High School and Eastern Oregon University. He lived in Bend at the time of his death.
Francy came up with the ideas for many of the trails now in place at the Anthony Lakes ski area.
"He was quite visionary,'' said Richard Knowles, the director of Anthony Lakes' Nordic Center.
The Francy Loops are east of Anthony Lake and intersect the Black Lake Meadow trail. A highlight of the trails is the panoramic view they give skiers of the Eagle Cap Wilderness and the Baker Valley.
"It is a wonderful living tribute to (Francy's) memory,'' said Nordic skier Charlie Gillis of La Grande.
Gillis said that Francy had such a diversity of talents that in a sense he was "larger than life."
A second addition to the trail system is known as the College Extension. This is an addition to the 3.2-kilometer College Trail. The College Extension gives skiers a striking look at Gun Site Mountain.
Knowles strived to provide skiers with views like the one of Gun Site Mountain when designing the routes of the new trails.
"Skiers like the vistas, they add a new concept to the trail system,'' he said.
The College Extension is more challenging than College Trail.
"It makes an advanced Nordic trail more advanced,'' Gillis said. "It's a workout, definitely.''
A third addition is known as the Loop Trail. It runs from the Nordic Center to the Anthony Lakes ski lodge.
Sixty-percent of the Anthony Lakes trail system is rated in the expert difficulty category. Twenty-six percent are rated as intermediate and 14 percent are at the beginner level of difficulty.
The trail additions were made about a year after the 20-kilometer Elkhorn Byway was added. The trail starts near Anthony Lakes' Nordic Center and goes up the summit of the mountain.
The Elkhorn Byway is groomed on weekends and holidays. The rest of the trail system is groomed every day the Anthony Lakes ski area operates. Anthony Lakes generally operates Thursday through Sunday.
Anthony Lakes has the second-largest groomed cross country trail network in the state. It is behind only the Mount Bachelor ski area, which has about 50 kilometers of trails.

White House mulls how to strike over Libya attack
The White House has put special operations strike forces on standby and moved drones into the skies above Africa, ready to strike militant targets from Libya to Mali — if investigators can find the al-Qaida-linked group responsible for the death of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya.

What can we do without pain in front of happiness?
Sorin Cerin
Source: Wisdom Collection
Contributed by: lorasmith
Who can know the absolute truth of illusion or emptiness? That is why we feel the fulfilled sense of this world.
Are we the wreck or the ship of God's Word?
Loneliness is the standard that separates life from death.
The only advantage of knowledge is that it can justify suffering.
Between world and animal are fewer questions than between man and world. How many such questions are there in God's Word?
No matter how many leaves would the tree of your soul have in front of the intense heat in the words of Time in this world, they can never shade the eternity lost inside you.
You can just be your self's stranger, never its friend, because you are mortal and it is immortal!
Who knows how many tears have flown in the Word of God from the creation of the world?
We pass through Time from birth in order to have from where to come, together with death.

9-30-04 - A Burlington Northern Santa Fe train derailed Wednesday night after a defect in one of the car wheels. 20 cars filled with corn left the tracks near Dougherty, Oklahoma.
No one was hurt but it marks the third derailment in the past three months. The cause of this derailment was similar to a flat tire. But when the cars left the track it damaged the rails – crews spent most of Thursday making repairs.
BNSF says despite recent derailments, the trains and track are safer than in the past.
The derailment actually caused about twenty trains to be delayed, including Amtrak's Heartland Flyer. Passengers were taken by to their destination instead.

Luna Innovations: Pump Up the Volume
TheStreet) -- Luna Innovations (LUNA - Get Report) was trading sharply higher on above-average volume, buoyed by optimism that the company would settle a damaging lawsuit and avoid a collapse. The Roanoke Times last week reported that Luna Innovations and Hansen Medical (HNSN - Get Report) "have developed a framework for settlement" that would reduce a $36.3 million jury verdict against Luna to a more manageable sum, according to a letter written to bankruptcy court Judge William Stone by attorneys on both sides of the case.In 2006, Luna was set to apply its nanotechnology instruments to assist Hansen in developing catheters used for heart surgery, but the deal fell apart after Hansen accused Luna of sharing trade secrets with another company. A jury eventually ruled against Luna, and the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July. News of a possible settlement had Luna shares rallying sharply higher on big volume. Luna was lately rising 39 cents, or 17.9%, to $2.57. Earlier, the stock touched an intraday high of $3.25. On Friday, Luna shares jumped 94.6% on volume greater than 11.3 million. More than 6.3 million changed hands Monday, compared to the stock's three-month average daily volume of 261,000, according to Yahoo! Finance. Luna has a 7.7 million-share float. Investor posts on Internet message boards were split on whether Luna's surge higher was sustainable. Some argued for taking profits late in the afternoon, much like what happened Friday when the stock hit an intraday high of $3.29 before finishing at $2.18. -- Written by Robert Holmes in New York.ROANOKE, Va.

Peter Giovenco and the transparency of metal
Next to the tracks south of downtown Fort Lauderdale sits one of sculptor Peter Giovenco's major acquisitions: A deactivated naval mine, seven feet or so in diameter, weighing maybe a ton and looking like a fallen brass moon.
One evening last November at the opening of his Full Circle Gallery, Giovenco told me how the old mine became the gallery's signpost: He had spotted it for sale in a classified ad and hauled it here, from the Gulf Coast, using a friend's truck.
Somewhere along Alligator Alley, he said, the thing nearly rolled off the flatbed. Disaster, or comedy, was averted by a quick stop to re-secure the moorings.
The "how" was the point of this transport tale. The "why" didn't come up because it was understood: Giovenco, 37, who died of complications from a brain tumor on Aug. 4 at his home in Fort Lauderdale, simply needed for that object to be at his gallery, close to his own curious metal sculptures.
As a self-employed artist, Giovenco had learned the right practical skills — how to find, exhibit, buy and sell. But his great gift was for creating, which he did with imagination and quiet persistence even as he fought to be healthy over the last three-plus years of his life.
Giovenco used the rough trade of metallurgy – heating, hammering, cutting, stamping – to build harmonious objects. He made abstracts, like the levered, leaning chrome spindle I took to be some kind of frozen gravity clock. He made realistic pieces, like the mammoth sailfish mounted over a road through the Florida Keys.
He molded slabs and welded from scrap; found objects and remnants of industry were a big part of his vision and his compositions. Whatever the source material, the finished pieces could be delicate or imposing, animal or mechanical. The line between biology and industry blurs in the presence of his work.
The art grew out of an interest that got hold of Giovenco early, when he was growing up in New Jersey. A biography at petergiovenco.com describes a child "fascinated with industrial machinery and the way mechanical devices worked."
"In high school," the biography continues, "Giovenco was one of the few students that took metal shop to actually learn something."
He moved to Florida to attend college and once here picked up foundry and fabrication jobs. He gravitated from industry to art and later combined the disciplines, applying his artistry to commissions such as office desks, bar tops, doorways and window grates. The functional pieces, like his sculptures, are a tango of points, lines, mass and movement.
(At the opening of Circle Gallery, a friend of mine coveted one object above all: a curved metal toilet paper roll that Giovenco had made and installed in the gallery bathroom.)
Giovenco also did restorations of other artists' metal sculptures, a skill that likewise drew on his dual talent as artist and artisan — and required, obviously, a level of trust from clients that he wouldn't damage their masterpieces.
I can only imagine the cacophony of loud noise and piercing light in Giovenco's work space, when he would be going at something with an arc welder and mallets. His chosen medium was not for the faint of heart, or the jumpy. I sometimes imagined it as a combat of man versus metal.
Except that Giovenco's work doesn't communicate severe struggle. The metal in his art looks cooperative, as if it had come around with coaxing to its agreeable shape.
It's not hard to imagine Giovenco having that kind of patience. I didn't know him well, but the person I did know was quiet, gently watchful and not long to warm up to a story like the almost-runaway sea mine.
We were standing that evening in a driveway painted by citronella lamps and light from the gallery windows. People inside circled metal sculptures and studied canvasas by other artists. Outside, a guitarist was playing and a bartender handed beers across a table made of wood sheets from the studio's garage.
It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and Giovenco had created all of this out of his ability. He could see into metal, and through it.

Ex-FAU tight end Rob Houlser cashes in with the Cardinals
Well, I would have to assume Rob Housler locked up a roster spot with the Cardinals yesterday since they signed him to a four-year deal worth about $750,000 per year. (League minimum is $340,000).
Hopefully that translates into a starting job and a lot of action for Housler, and thus a lot of 'former FAU player Rob Housler' kind of news.
But this is the NFL, and no money is guaranteed. You have to make the roster each year to get your cash.
Over at Tennessee, it looks like Rusty Smith looks will be fighting to hang onto his roster spot. He's behind Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker and in a battle for No. 3 with Brett Ratliff.
Now that practices have started, we'll have to wait and see how the undrafted free agents fare. They are WR Lestar Jean with Houston and LB Michael Lockley with Jacksonville.

Anti-Semitism Marches Across Europe
As Operation Protective Edge continues in Gaza, the Jews of the European diaspora are looking about and seeing an increasingly hostile home. A pair of particularly violent outbreaks of anti-Semitism in France and the Netherlands seems to foreshadow a future conflagration fueled by moral relativism and sparked by Europe's growing Islamic slums. Muslims spouting Sharia and jihad have no room for Israel and Jews in their future world, and post-Christian Europe offers little resistance to those who promise hate and violence.

Welcome back to the grind.
Thinking about 2014
I have much to be thankful for after a pretty decent year. While 2012 would be described as devasting, 2013 would be described as healing. In 2014, I'm looking to do a number of things. No big promises here. No big resolutions. Just some simple thinking about how to make my life even more enjoyable than it is right now.
Stop and smell the flowers
Good Flocking People
When I left my previous job to head to One to One Interactive, I had no idea what to expect. It's been about a month now and I'm loving it. I work with some smart, creative and entrepreneurial type folks. People really enjoy what they do and enjoy working with each other.
One thing the agency does that I thought was very cool was supporting the Greater Boston Food Bank. Employees can donate canned goods or money.
Here's the kick: it's competitive.
Work Doesn't Stop When You're Sick
My house has been the sick ward for about a month. My wife and I have avoided the flu bug for a little bit, until this week. I've had the chills, sweats, fever and cough since Monday night and it couldn't have come at a worse time.
You see, work is jamming, which is another word for ridiculously busy. There's new business to chase. Client programs to manage. Teams to work with. Results to get and so on and so on.
And all of this is for my full time job. Add in my moonlight gig as executive editor for Technorati and my days are pretty much filled with work.
So when the flu bug comes knocking without an appointment, it really throws a grenade into the room.
Holy disruption Batman.
It's hard to focus. It's difficult to sleep. It's unbelievably hard to focus on what you need to get done. Regardless of the uphill battle and how hard it is, you have to fight it and get things done.
The work never ends.
How do you manage the sick/to do list balance?
Cutting the Chord is a Hard Thing to Do When You're a Social Media Geek
I haven't taken a weeks vacation in probably a couple of years. Yes, I've had days off here and there, but it's been a while since I actually got on a plane and headed to a destination other than one located in the northeastern part of the U.S.
This pattern will change pretty soon as I have some scheduled time off. I really enjoying the planning, packing, preparation, etc. that goes into it all, but what I'm struggling with — and what I'll continue to struggle with — is cutting the proverbial social media chord.
Do I tweet while I'm on the plane or should I take that time to get some rest and hang with the kids? Do I need mobile uploads to Facebook as we're doing the tourist thing? What about blogging about my experiences with the family while I am spending some time in the fun and sun?
These are things I'd do normally, so why not while I'm on vacation.
I feel like I'm an alcoholic and I'm at an AA meeting: "Hi, my name is Don and I'm a social media geek."
I just can't cut the chord. I'm going to try my best, but it's going to take some serious discipline and of course, nudging from my wife and kids.
I always have the urge to Tweet, blog, create video, snap pictures and share my experiences with friends, family, co-workers and my extended friends in the social media world.
How does one go from total transparency to total darkness. I don't think it can be done.
How do you cut the chord?

Fourth of July Memories
This weekend I had one of the best Fourth of July's ever.
We didn't do anything too crazy nor was what the family and I experienced out of the ordinary.
Our Fourth festivities always starts with the annual Point of Pines block party. PoP as we call it, is a little neighborhood in Revere, MA where my mother has a house that comes deeded with a portion of Revere Beach (a private section that she technically owns). The PoP block party is always on the third of July. As a result, we call it PoP03.
The Traveling Dad
Last week I was away from home, on the longest business trip I've ever taken. I've never been one to travel a ton for business. It's mostly consisted of day trips or quick over-nighters. I honestly don't like it because it takes me out of my routine. However, each time I do, it's an experience that I can chaulk up to my professional development.
This time around, the trip was to Hawaii.
Yes, Hawaii.
The scenery lived up to the hype. The food was fantastic. The people watching was interesting. The travel was excrutiatingly brutal. The three business days were very busy and long. Overall, it was a great experience professionally and I was able to soak in a little bit of the Hawaii hype (courtesy of my cousin and her hubby who live out there).
The toughest part was leaving the family. However, the travel back was awesome because I knew I had "daaaaaaaddy!" to come back to (and of course, the wife).
All of the sun, sand and beautiful landscape in the world can't replace that feeling. Ever.
Next time I go, I'll just bring the family and have the best of both worlds.
A road warrior I am not
I don't travel a lot for business - maybe three to five times a year. When I do it's usually for a new business pitch, client meetings or training sessions. Being a big guy it's also an uncomfortable experience because honestly, who the heck can fit into those seats anyways?
It's also an uncomfortable experience because I hate breaking my routine. We get into habits and grooves, becoming creatures of habit. When that routine is broken, it throws us for a loop.
The biggest reason travel makes me uneasy is that I miss the family. The kids are young and they don't understand what it means for daddy to be gone for that long of a period, as they are used to routines as well. I know I will see them in a matter if hours, but trying to explain that to a nearly six year old and a three old is like trying to read and understand the healthcare reform legislation. Regardless, it's hard and I miss them (and Mrs. Big Guy as well).
On the flip side, these travel opportunities are exciting and new. It's an experience I embrace because it's good to test yourself every once and a while -- push yourself if you will. Comfort zones are meant to be stepped out of from time to time.
That goes for business practices as well. Success only comes if you take risks and step out of that comfort zone. Eventually those out of comfort zone experiences will become part of the routine. Then it's time to do it all again.
p.s. I am writing this from 10,000 feet. I am having one of those out of comfort zone days. :)

How can I improve my son's poor aim when he pees?
My son pees all over the bathroom. I've tried everything, including putting Cheerios in the toilet as targets and giving him praise for hitting the bowl, but he continues to miss. Help -- my bathroom's starting to smell like an outhouse!

Get him a tube. Or have him grasp his Scrotom as well because it gives him better control. Also make sure he dosent have an erection because it makes it hard to aim downward.posted 12/10/2012 by dakotageyosexy
I had my 5-year old son clean the toilet (with supervision). It only took two toilet cleanings for his aim to improve.posted 09/02/2011 by mdlhrsz
Put a cheerio in the water and tell him to see if he can aim at it; it makes a game out of it, and I bet it'll stay in the bowl!!!posted 03/18/2008 by olivep
My mother-in-law required her husband and son (my husband) to sit down at the home toilet...it was her rule all my husbands life...standing was for urinals in her mind...I never was raised with that idea, but since now having a "trained" husband, I've found it to be quite a blessing! My son always sits down, and I have fairly clean bathrooms! Perhaps until your son learns better he could be assured that it's not the end of the world to just sit while at home.posted 03/18/2008 by momgal
My mother in law swears by cheerios, she said that how she got her son to pee, but I still think I prefer my mother's method. Make them sit. They'll always make it into the toilet.posted 08/20/2007 by phoenixangel7805
If your son is peeing everywhere in the bathroom, there is a possibility that he may suffer from a condition call "Narrowing of the Urethra". From my research on the internet this condition is caused normally from friction received after circumcision. It is more common than I ever anticipated. If your son is having to turn while urinating make an appointment at a pediatric Urologist to do a check up. On the other end of that, if in fact he is having control issues as far as holding it or pointing it into the toilet, it would be in your best interest (if this applies) to have his father train him. My ds was 4 and having the same issues and believe me when I tell you the bathroom was foul (I have to disinfect and clean it everyday). So, I employed his dad to be the trainer and I was the assistant. I don't have a pee-pee, so what better teacher than the one who has it. Everytime my son had to pee, his dad went with him to SHOW him what to do. It worked out well. Also keep in mind, and don't take this offensively, the male species whether young or old pees on everything. So, it will be contained to an extent but I still have to clean my bathroom on a daily basis. Hope this was helpful to you.posted 04/30/2007 by mrsgriffy
My son was potty trained one month shy of his 3rd birthday. He missed the toilet all the time and once even shot himself in the eye. To get him to hit the potty right while standing up, I showed him how his pee makes bubbles in the water. So I would remind him to make mommy some bubbles. Now he yells "Mommy I did it, I did it, I made you some bubbles."posted 04/08/2007 by jimstacy89
We are having the same issue and DS is four. I've taken all the rugs out of the bathroom. I also keep Clorox wipes by the toilet for easy clean-up. I also make sure to spray the toilet and surrounding areas with lysolposted 02/26/2007 by HarperMom

Porky Pig
In early America, farm animals took the blame for zoophilic sex.
At a small farm in Ohio, I once found myself outside a hog pen. It was a muddy, cloistered, chaotic space bustling with so many pink pounds of edible flesh. Two things struck me about these animals. The first was that some of these snorting beasts had such eminently slap-able bottoms that I could hardly keep myself from reaching over and giving them a good spanking. The other was that there was a lot of intelligence behind this façade of meat; piglets were playing jubilantly with each other that spring day, and bloated sows, reposed in the warm sunlight, were eyeing me with as much curiosity as I was eyeing them. That scene made such an impression on me that I've been meaning to write about the minds of swine ever since.
But that column will have to wait a little longer, because in examining the vast literature on cognitive studies of farm animals—and from all appearances, scientists' understanding of pig cognition is in a woeful state of disarray—I got distracted (as I often do) by matters of sexual deviance. Between writing my columns for Slate, you see, I'm often scouring the holdings of the Cornell University Library, doing my own research for a book on the psychology of moral outrage and its relation to human sexuality. (Ithaca, after all, was the birthplace of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita.) So, with those unsettled pigs still prancing about in my mind, it was only natural that my eyes would settle on a rather tangential nod to the genus Sus in a study of crime and punishment in Colonial New England. Social historian Robert Oaks had, like me, been interested in hogs—and for reasons that were, oddly enough, not altogether distinct from my earlier observation of their very humanlike rumps. It seems these animals were valued not so much for their minds or their meat, by some residents of early America, but as lovers. At least, that's what many people thought at the time.
Now, I've written before about the fascinating research underway on the phenomenon of zoophilia and the reported 1 percent of the human population that feels a primary erotic attraction to other species. Yet I'd absolutely no idea about the brutal oppression that not only zoophiles faced in centuries prior, but also the animals themselves that had been involved in their sordid affairs. Today, I think, most people would feel sympathy for an animal that had been violated by a human being, but in the past, they were seen as being just as morally culpable as their sexual partners. And while today's zoophiles continue to face, as they always have, irreparable stigma for acts of bestiality—along with perhaps some jail time and fines—the "buggers" of the past were burned alive. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this period of our history, however, is the paranoia over human-animal sex. Indeed, a panic over porking pigs grew so intense in Colonial New England that it became, for a time, the "other" witch-hunt.
One of the most sensational of the bestiality trials occurred not far from Yale University, in the colony of New Haven. Today's New Haven, Conn., is known for its high concentration of genius, yet long ago it was notorious for breeding prodigies of a very different sort. "Prodigies," according to Thomas Aquinas, that medieval anti-kink who was especially concerned about other people's private behaviors, were those hybrid monsters sprung from the loins of another species but borne of human seed. These creatures could also be conceived through having sex with atheists, but apparently there were fewer of those milling about old New Haven than there were solicitous swine.
In 1646, Oaks tells us, a servant by the name of George Spencer, who was notorious for having "a prophane, lying, scoffing and lewd speritt" (sounds like my kind of man), was executed for making love to his master's pig. He swore that he didn't do it, but, unfortunately for Spencer, the sow happened to give birth to a deformed fetus ("a prodigious monster") that resembled George a bit too closely for most people's comfort. The critical piece of evidence held against him was the uncanny fact that, just like the pig fetus, this grumpy old man also had "butt one eye for use, the other hath (as itt is called) a pearle in itt, is whitish and deformed." And so off to an imaginary hell he was cast.
If anyone could commiserate with George Spencer and his troubles, it was a fellow New Haven citizen with the ridiculously unfortunate name of Thomas Hogg. Like Spencer, Hogg found himself at the center of an intense buggery investigation when a neighborhood sow bore a deformed fetus with "a faire & white skinne & head, as Thomas Hogg is." Needless to say, with so many of its male residents being reminiscent of aborted pig fetuses, we might also pity the women of New Haven.
The allegations made against Hogg were so serious, in fact, that the governor and deputy governor personally frogmarched him out to the barnyard toward the sow in question and ordered him to "scratt" (fondle) the animal before their eyes. This was done to gauge just how intimately familiar Hogg and hog might be. "Immedyatly there appeared a working of lust in the sow," the court records recount for us, "insomuch that she powred out seede before them." When Hogg reluctantly titillated the teats of a different sow, that animal showed no sign of returning his affections.
It wasn't just pigs. In the nearby colony of Plymouth, a similar witch hunt for buggers was underway, and according to Oaks it reached fairly dramatic heights with the 1642 trial of a 16-year-old boy named Thomas Granger. This randy adolescent had been indicted for taking indecent liberties with what seems an entire stable full of animals, including "a mare, a cow, two goats, five sheep, two calves and a turkey." I realize the turkey part is a bit distracting (and how one goes about having sex with a large clawed bird is perhaps better left unexamined); but even more remarkable, not to mention infinitely more absurd than fouling a fowl, is the legal diligence and sobriety with which this case was prosecuted.
There was little question in these righteous minds that the boy should be dispatched to the flames for his egregious violations of God's natural law, but there was a lot of head-scratching on the bench over which sheep, exactly, he'd been defiling. This was vital to sort out, because if they executed the wrong sheep, they risked the unthinkable happening: a monstrously bleating, hoofed prodigy might drop undetected onto Plymouth. So, naturally, a line-up of busily masticating victims was staged for Granger. With one trembling finger, the boy pointed out those five naïve, amber-eyed ruminants that had been targets of his secret woolly lust. Court records indicate that the animals were then "killed before this face, according to the law, Leviticus xx. 15; and then he himself was executed."
