New MTA Chief Warns of Another Fare Hike in 2015
Same as the old MTA chief.
Yes, again. Recently selected MTA chairman Thomas Prendergast has all sorts of work to do, including years more of Hurricane Sandy repairs and potentially installing motion censors to prevent subway deaths, but most New Yorkers only care about fares: "At the end of the day, there isn't a transit system in the nation that operates in the black," Prendergast told the Daily News in a welcome column laying out his plans. "It's our job to do what we can to keep the need for additional revenues as small as possible." So don't plan on loving this guy either.

"The times she's talked to me about her past, it's like she thinks of herself as Cinderella."
–former friend Diana Reardon
The Sandra Bridewell who is the target of both gossip and police scrutiny did not have her roots in Park Cities society. In fact, the beguiling woman who loved champagne and trips to New York, who drove expensive cars and took gourmet cooking classes for fun, had no silver spoons during her childhood. Her early years were steeped in turmoil, and they contained no small amount of tragedy.
She was born in 1944 in the little town of Sedalia, Missouri. Given up as an infant by her natural parents, she was adopted by a couple who could have no children of their own. Her adoptive father was a man named Arthur Powers, the owner and manager of the local Dr Pepper bottling plant. Her adoptive mother, Camille, was killed, reportedly in an automobile accident, when Sandra was about 3 years old. Her father soon remarried. When she was 6 years old, Sandra and her family moved from Missouri to a middle-class neighborhood in Oak Cliff, where her father sold cemetery plots for Laurel Land Memorial Park.
As Sandra grew to adulthood, the memories of her early childhood days would become a vivid source of conversation. Many of her friends and ex-friends can recall stories Sandra told of her unhappy youth. Susan Dreith, Sandra's closest friend during her teenage days (she lived around the corner), says that Sandra and her stepmother "did not have a good relationship at all."
"I remember how Sandra used to talk about a birthday party that her stepmother was throwing for her," recalls a former friend who recently lived next door to Sandra. "The day of the party no one came. Sandra says it was because her stepmother forgot to send the invitations. Sandra would tell me that her stepmom would tell her that she was unwanted and had no friends."
(Sandra's father is dead. Doris Powers, her stepmother, would not be interviewed for this story. "I think Sandra's been harassed enough," Mrs. Powers says. "I don't know why this is happening to her.")
Sandra went to Kimball High School in Oak Cliff, graduating in 1962. According to Susan Dreith, she was always properly dressed with very nice manners — "sort of like an Eddie Haskell type" — but she was not very popular, nor did she seem involved in many activities. Her senior class photograph for 1962 does not even appear in the annual, and she is pictured in no other school organization except for the Future Homemakers of America. Dreith says that although Sandra's beauty was well evident by this time, she didn't date much.
"She seemed to be just on a pretty even keel," says Dreith. "And she often seemed a little aloof — and yet there was this one thing that always made you wary. It was sort of like a deception about her. She would always make up stories about things. Now, I know we were all kids, and we all did that sort of thing sometimes, but Sandra was sometimes so ridiculous. One time, we were supposed to go somewhere on a weekend night, and I never heard from her. When I asked her about it, she said she had to leave for Missouri in the middle of the night. Well, of course, I knew that wasn't true. She was over at her own house."
Another intimate friend of Sandra's, Paula Johnson, who got to know her when they were both in their early 20s, recalls Sandra's habit of lying about her past. "Sandra never mentioned any of her friends from high school," Johnson says. "I never met any of them. It was odd. There was this time when we were driving through a very nice area of Oak Cliff, and Sandra pointed to this very beautiful home. It was landscaped, it was by a city park, it was so lovely. And Sandra looked at me and said, 'That's the house that I grew up in.' A couple of months later we had to go to her real house — I think it was for the funeral of her father — and when we got there, it wasn't at all the house she showed me. How did Sandra think she could get away with that lie?"
Signs of deceit continued as Sandra grew older. Some people who have known her as an adult recall that Sandra claimed she attended SMU. The registrar's office has no record of her taking any course at SMU. On her 10-year high school reunion questionnaire, Sandra wrote that she attended TCU. According to the school registrar's office, she never enrolled at TCU.
It is documented that she attended Tyler Junior College for a year after high school, where she was a member of the local Sans Souci (French for "without care") sorority. She returned to Dallas sometime after that, and by 1966 she was living the life of the young North Dallas single woman at the Windsor House Apartments near the Upper Greenville area.
Perhaps as a reaction to her uncertain, troubled upbringing, Sandra developed a taste for the exquisite and expensive things in life. Those who knew her in the '60s say that even then she was striving for a kind of sophistication that others her age didn't have.
"She was phenomenal to the rest of us," recalls Kathy Woodson, a Dallas secretary who was part of Sandra's crowd at the time. "She was this sort of Southern belle who had come out of nowhere. She had these real sweet manners, and she knew how to make flaming plum pudding. I mean, we were taking movie magazines, and she was taking Southern Living. She instinctively knew what men would want."
With these charms, it didn't take long for men to come flocking to Sandra. She began dating a young dental student who had ambitions to become a great dentist in Dallas. He lived in an apartment complex across the street from Sandra, and after just six weeks of dating, he asked her to marry him. In May of 1967, David Stegall became Sandra's first husband.
"They loved the idea of being rich. David liked rich things, and so did Sandra. But, being young, or whatever, they had no idea about money."
–Dr. E.T. Stegall Sr., David's father
David Stegall was a rather quiet, good-looking young man born and raised in Fort Worth. Following in the footsteps of his father, he went to the Baylor College of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors. But he wanted to do something more in his profession than run a family practice like his father had. "He was obviously set on becoming the big-time, society dentist of Dallas," says a dentist friend of his who knew him in dental school and later had an office in the same building with Stegall. "He didn't want to do normal stuff like fillings. He was into full mouth reconstruction, where some patients would get charged over $10,000. And that was an enormous amount of money back then."
Stegall went to Los Angeles to study with a prominent dentist, Dr. Peter K. Thomas, who had a long client list of Hollywood celebrities. From Thomas, Stegall learned how to make all the right moves to attract the proper clientele. The newlyweds also joined St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, which on Sundays is filled with some of the wealthiest people in Dallas. In Stegall's new office at Douglas Plaza near Preston Center, there were Gittings portraits of his children on the walls.
David's father says Sandra was David's first girlfriend; he had never seriously pursued a relationship before meeting her. Says Kathy Woodson, who watched the courtship of David and Sandra develop: "David was a real sweetneart, but not a lot of people really liked him because he was a real loner and serious about his work. He never was the type that would have gotten involved in the high society life. But when he married Sandra, it all changed."
From the beginning, Sandra moved easily into the upscale world, as if this were her natural element. "She was the most beautiful entertainer," recalls Highland Park resident Marian Underwood, who once was a close friend of Sandra's. "She was so creative in her home. If she had a little dinner party, she'd go all out for you." She was a wonderful hostess, she made perceptive comments in the neighborhood book club, she was cookbook chairman for the St. Michael church (her recipe was quail in wine). "Her main goal was to be in the Junior League," says Kathy Woodson. "She wanted to be the classic Junior League woman. I never really understood why she never got in."
"She was trying to gain a lavish social identity," says Jack Sides, who was the Stegalls' attorney. "She wanted to do things first class." One acquaintance of the Stegalls recalls a birthday party thrown for one of the neighborhood children. While the other mothers brought little presents that cost no more than $5, Sandra showed up with an elaborate $30 balloon arrangement.
Another acquaintance met David and Sandra Stegall in 1971 at a backyard beer-and-oyster party thrown by the noted Highland Park real estate agent Charles Freeman. She recalls that Sandra seemed offended when she was offered a beer. "She said that she didn't drink beer," recalls the woman. "That's fine, but it was just the pretentious way she said it, you know. We could all tell she was trying to be a social climber."
But the truth was, David Stegall also found himself enjoying the high life. He didn't mingle well at parties, but Sandra was able to lead him through it. And the social whirl certainly didn't hurt his dental practice. Finally, he was making some money: his income almost tripled, from $27,000 in 1972 to $68,000 in 1973. The Stegalls had caught a glimpse of the good life that belonged to Dallas' old-money crowd, and they found it addictive. Soon they began trying to live like the people whose opulent parties they were attending.
By 1973, they had moved to the upscale Greenway Parks neighborhood, buying a $65,000 house that they quickly began to remodel at a cost of $45,000. Sandra was taking care of the bills at home, and David was heading off to work in a new 1973 Cadillac and a $300 sport coat. They got a live-in maid and had their groceries delivered from the chic Simon David grocery store on Inwood Road. They even looked into purchasing a much larger home in Highland Park.
As the spending escalated, Sandra paid the renowned Dallas interior designer John Astin Perkins $35,000 to redecorate the home with antiques. A dentist's wife walked in and breathlessly said the house reminded her of the Palace of Versailles. One friend remembers that David and Sandra were quick to point out special touches like a little table in a corner that cost $4,000. Another friend, a member of Sandra's church, recalls hearing Sandra say that her goal was to get her home featured in Architectural Digest.
By 1974, about the time the couple's third child was bom, the debts were getting out of control. "They were literally talking each other into spending," recalls one close friend. The IRS put a lien on their house forunpaid taxes. The Stegalls owed a North Dallas bank more than $30,000. David had stopped referring patients with simple dental problems to other dentists and begun doing the work himself. "He was working night and day to pay the bills," recalls Paula Johnson, whose former husband, a dentist, also committed suicide. "I would ask Sandra why she would spend and spend, and she would say, 'Well, David is doing so well.'"
But David Stegall was not doing well. A psychologist who had a counseling session with David a few days before his suicide recalls that David did seem "pretty put out by the bills for household furnishings ... The wife seemed to have him in a very painful box. He was completely intimidated by her. The idea, as he saw it, of his inability to pay the bills, stood in pretty sharp contrast to his professional skills."
In the fall of 1974, the financial picture worsened. David borrowed $100,000 from his father to try to stay above water. But the problems were affecting David's work in the office. "You could tell that the quality of his work was deteriorating," recalls an associate, Dr. Paul Radman. "I didn't know anything about his personal problems, but I knew something was wrong."
One friend remembers how David, in the final weeks of his life, talked about moving to California, buying a Porsche convertible, and finding a young blonde. Life at home was miserable. Sandra and David argued constantly. Paula Johnson remembers that Sandra accused David of having an affair. One time Sandra came over to another friend's house with a black eye and said that David had hit her. Sandra had begun to sleep in the children's bedrooms; friends say she was scared of David's "violent" temper. Late one night, about three weeks before Stegall actually killed himself, his attorney, Sides, got a frantic phone call from Sandra saying that David was drinking heavily. Sides rushed to the house and found Stegall crouched in a closet pointing a pistol at his head. Sides took the gun away from David without a struggle.
After that night, Stegall told friends that everything was fine and said he would never try suicide again because of his love for the children. But on February 22, 1975, David did try again. This time he succeeded. Sandra told police she was sleeping in another wing of the house and awakened to find David lying in his bed in a pool of blood. Police found the dentist with his wrists slashed and a bullet wound to his left temple. A .22-caliber pistol was in his hand. Later, police would discover that the gun Stegall used to kill himself had apparently been stolen from one of his patients.
Sandra sold the home for $147,500 and got $160,000 in life insurance. Her dead husband's dental practice sold for less than $15,000. Even after paying off all the bills, she and her children had enough money to live comfortably.
Neither a psychologist nor a psychiatrist who had examined David Stegall days before he died concluded that he was suicidal. But to Sandra's dismay, David's own problems didn't stop many of David's friends from turning against her. "At David's funeral," says Kathy Woodson, "all of the old gang sat around and talked about how David tried to take the charge cards away from Sandra because he felt she was driving him into ruin."
One of Sandra's staunchest defenders from that time admits Sandra painted "a fantasy-land portrait of life." Tragically, that fantasy — of a prosperous little family on the way up in Dallas' wealthiest community — had come to a shattering conclusion. For Sandra, it was time to pick up the pieces of her life and start again.

Conference organizers said he appears to be OK. The Green Bay Packers' former quarterback and coach finished speaking at the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority conference at Monona Terrace, then collapsed on stage. Authority spokesman Kevin Fischer said Starr then sat up and said he was fine. Fischer told the Journal Sentinel the 78-year-old Starr was speaking coherently and left the convention center with his wife, Cherry, got into a limo and was taken to the Dane County Regional Airport. Starr led the Packers to five NFL titles and two Super Bowl championships. He was Green Bay's head coach from 1975-83. Patriots' Edelman on IR FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots are dealing with another injury. Elusive punt returner Julian Edelman went on injured reserve on Tuesday with a foot injury. The Patriots already have played the last several games without tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive end Chandler Jones and left guard Logan Mankins, all key players. Charge on Fairley dropped MOBILE, Ala. — A Mobile municipal judge has dismissed a misdemeanor marijuana charge against Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley. Defense attorney Sid Harrell said the charge was dismissed on Tuesday. Judge Matt Greene agreed with prosecutors that there wasn't enough evidence to show partially smoked marijuana cigarettes found in Fairley's vehicle on April 3 belonged to the former first-round pick out of Auburn. Harrell said Fairley passed a drug test Tuesday, is tested several times a week by the NFL and has passed them all. Steelers CB Taylor out PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh's ironman is out on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. The franchise quarterback might be too. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday cornerback Ike Taylor's 135-game streak will end after Taylor suffered a fractured right ankle in last weekend's 23-20 win over Baltimore. The former Louisiana-Lafayette standout will likely be out at least two weeks, handing the starting job to second-year defensive back Cortez Allen. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

HARTLEPOOL has the third highest proportion of long-term jobless benefit claimants in the country with people who have been languishing on the dole queue for more than five years.
It comes as the number of people who have been claiming Jobseeker's Allowance for more than two years has rocketed by 300 per cent in less than three years.
Figures show that 1,740 of the 4,728 people in Hartlepool claiming Jobseeker's Allowance have been without work for more than 12 months, which is three per cent of the working age population.
It leaves the town with the third highest proportion in the country of people claiming for over 12 months and the second highest in the North-East.
The latest figures show that the number of people claiming the benefit for more than two years has risen from 125 in May 2010 to 500 in November.
The shocking figures also show that 395 people have been claiming for between two and three years, with 75 claiming for up to four years and 25 up to five years.
In Hartlepool there were also five people who are listed as claiming the benefit for more than five years.
Town MP Iain Wright said: "What needs to be done is the Government acknowledges the need to get people out to work.
"It is common sense that the longer a person is on the dole, the harder it is going to be to find work.
"Concentration and focus must be given to provide them with the skills and get them back in the workforce.
"Then everyone gains because you are getting people off Jobseeker's Allowance, they are spending money in the economy and the tax receipts are up.
"People are desperate to get into work, but they are finding it extremely difficult to do so.
"The Government has an important role to play, we don't want to have a message that people can be consigned to benefits."
Hartlepool Mayor Stuart Drummond said: "The intention of it is support to help people out while they are finding work.
"The idea behind the Government bringing out tougher conditions around benefits is to stop people using it as a source of income rather than using it to help the while they find work.
"I wouldn't know without looking at individual cases, but for each case where someone is milking the system, there is someone trying to apply for hundreds of jobs.
"There is not enough jobs to go around, so we are always going to have high numbers claiming Jobseeker's Allowance."

|Pac-12 Championships
May 11-12 at USC's Loker Stadium
Championship Home Page | Schedule | Live Results
LOS ANGELES -The Pac-12 Championships are finally at hand for the Husky track and field squad, with the months of base mileage, weight lifting, workouts and fine-tuning leading to this part of the schedule where podium spots and team points are at a premium. USC hosts the two-day meet which goes this Saturday and Sunday, May 11-12, at Loker Stadium.
The Pac-12 meet represents the first peak of the postseason, followed by NCAA West Prelims on May 23-25 and then the NCAA Championships from June 5-8.
Coverage of the meet can be best accessed on Pac-12.com. There will be no live video of the meet because the meet will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks on a tape delayed basis, though with a quick turnaround, as the first broadcast is set for next Wednesday, May 15, at 6 p.m. Pacific.
The multi-event athletes got a head start on the rest of the athletes, as the Pac-12 decathlon and heptathlon champions were decided last weekend. Senior Jeremy Taiwofinished second-place in the decathlon in the closest finish ever, scoring a career-best 7,998 points, and giving the Husky men eight points to build on heading into this weekend.
Saturday begins in the field at 10 a.m. and on the track at 1 p.m. Big field events for UW on Friday will include the men's pole vault, men's long jump, and women's and men's javelin throws. The only finals on the track will be the 3,000-meter steeplechases and 10,000-meter runs, but both should be key events for the Huskies.
The men's hammer starts off Sunday early at 9 a.m., and the 4x100m relay finals start on the track at 1 p.m. The women's pole vault, men's high jump, and men's triple jump will be ones to watch, and the track will be one final after another from 1 p.m. until the 4x400-meters closes things out at 5:45 p.m.
Last year the Husky men tied for fifth-place with Stanford with 78 points, which was their best team finish since 2006, while the women finished in sixth-place, matching their best since 1998.
Returning scorers on the men's side include defending conference champions James Alaka and J.J. Juilfs, though both will likely need season-bests to return to the top of the podium. Alaka won his second-straight 200-meter title last year and is also the 100-meter champ in 2011. Juilfs won the pole vault title last year as a freshman. Also looking to return to the podium with a top-three finish are Joe Zimmerman, second in the javelin last year, and A.J. Maricich, who was a surprise second-place finisher in the high jump last year. Quinn Hale was fourth last year and Jimmy Brookmanwas fifth in the javelin.
Back after scoring points a year ago for UW are Logan Miller (runner-up in the pole vault), Megan Goethals (3rd in the 5,000m), Kayla Stueckle (6th in 400m hurdles), Christine Babcock (7th in 5,000m), and Liberty Miller (7th in 10,000m). Mel Lawrence also returns, the 2009 Pac-10 champ in the steeplechase.

Skip Top Navigation Skip to Content
For most roadways, basic day to day maintenance activities such as snow plowing, picking up debris, controlling vegetation, and pothole patching are the activities needed to keep the road available for optimal use. When use of the roadway grows and congestion occurs, more sophisticated operating activities are needed to optimize use. Each roadway has an optimal capacity where throughput is maximized.
As roadway congestion increases, Intelligent Transportation Systems are used to maintain vehicle throughput. We now use these types of technology including ramp metering, traveler information, incident response, border crossing technology, weather operations based on prediction tools, commercial vehicle information systems networks (CVISN), and coordinated signal technology.
Ramp metering has been in place in the Seattle area for years and has proven highly effective in maintaining and even increasing throughput. Ramp meters work by metering the traffic from a ramp onto the freeway mainline, allowing smooth merging and preventing the brake-tapping which can lead to reduced speeds. The chart below shows the effect of ramp metering on SR 520 in Seattle: the ramp meters all but eliminated stop-and-go traffic, and actually increased the flow across the bridge by almost 500 vehicles per hour. This represents restored capacity that had been lost to congestion. Similar to ramp metering, providing travelers with accurate, timely information on traffic conditions can help spread traffic to avoid local slowdowns thereby maintaining flow.
Incident response
Traffic accidents and other incidents can contribute to congestion two ways: the incident itself can close lanes or cause a distraction which reduces speed and throughput. However the primary incident often leads to secondary fender benders as traffic slows, exacerbating the problem. Incident response programs focus on responding quickly and clearing incidents to minimize primary impacts and prevent secondary collisions. In 2002, enhanced incident response patrols were instituted on I-405. These patrols have reduced the average clearance time for incidents on I-405 by over 40%.
Traffic Signals
Traffic signal synchronization is an issue that most drivers and riders can relate to. Like ramp metering for freeways, signal synchronization contributes to arterial operation efficiency similar to the maximum throughput concept on freeways. This example shows the effectiveness of signal synchronization on a 1.35-mile section of SR 527. Implementing signal optimization showed a reduction in average vehicle travel times up to 2 minutes 27 seconds (northbound evening commute). This reduced the travel time by nearly 38%.
Truck Operations
Trucks are required to be weighed, inspected, and registered for travel in Washington. Stopping at truck scales and ports of entry, however, can inconvenience and delay truck shipments. Advanced technology is being applied to improve efficiency, through the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems Networks (CVISN), to weigh the trucks, and check registration and inspection status without stopping at the scales.
Managed Lanes
Special use lanes, such as those restricted to High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV), have been used successfully to maintain flow. These lanes work by allowing limited numbers of vehicles to enter the lanes – in the case of HOV lanes, only those who meet certain occupancy requirements. By limiting the number of vehicles, maximum throughput can be maintained without breaking down into congestion. In addition, HOV lanes also improve the efficiency of the system by carrying more people than other lanes during peak traffic periods. In the Puget Sound region, some HOV lanes actually move more vehicles than the adjacent general purpose lanes because they maintain flow while the adjacent lanes are congested and have lost productivity.
Information from other places clearly shows the huge potential of roadway pricing to maintain flow and capacity and prevent congestion. This is done by charging users a fee for using the roadway during congested times. The fee limits the vehicles using the lanes, keeping volumes at a level that allows smooth flow and maximum throughput. California and Texas have had success in charging a fee to use underused HOV lanes. These High Occupancy/Toll (HOT) lanes improve the utilization of the HOV lane, while maintaining smooth flow and a travel time advantage for transit and carpools. Pricing represents the next frontier and a real potential to maximize use of the system.
Transit agencies in Washington spend over $600 million per year (54% of transit expenditures) operating their systems. Improving the efficiency of these operations is important in a time of doing more with less. Strategies that transit agencies are pursuing to improve operational efficiency include:
System Operating Configuration
Designing how to operate a transit system often involves trading off system efficiencies with the quality of customer service. Some systems have chosen a transfer-based system, which brings people to a central point for timed transfers to other locations. This type of system contrasts with a direct point-to-point system, often used for commuter bus services at peak periods. Route deviated services have been developed to allow fixed route buses to go off route to serve special needs people, especially in lower density areas. Demand response service has been plagued by high operating costs, but technologies such as automatic vehicle locators and efficient routing programs have helped improve efficiency.Improving Communications
Just like highway operations, communication technologies have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of transit services, including automated vehicle locators to manage the fleet and inform customers of bus arrivals; transit signal preemption and queue jumps at ramp meters; and online trip planning services.
HOV Lanes Strategies
HOV lanes provide a predictable and quick travel time for buses, allowing them to maintain schedules and a travel time advantage.
Park and Ride Lots
Park and ride lots provide efficient service access in low density areas, allowing transit agencies to pick up large numbers of people at one location as opposed to circulating through widespread neighborhoods.
Washington State has the largest public vanpool program in the country. There are approximately 1,310 vans operating in the Puget Sound region and statewide over 1,600 vehicles each workday. Additional vanpool vehicles are provided and used by nonprofit groups, employers, and private individuals.
Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)
The goals of the CTR Program are to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution, and fuel consumption by working with local jurisdictions and major employers to reduce drive-alone commuting. Nearly 1,100 worksites in Washington State participate in the program.
Travel Conservation
Efforts to affect the demand for transportation, diverting it to carpooling or transit, or to a less crowded time of day, have been effective through employer-based promotion programs, vanpool programs, and other ridesharing services.
Land Use Strategies
Research has shown a link between land use patterns and travel patterns – denser, mixed-use types of development with good pedestrian and transit access have shown higher walking, transit, and carpooling behavior than lower density areas.
Operations are a large focus at Washington State Ferries (WSF), representing 62% of all expenditures on the system.
Congestion and Peaking in the System
The ferry system is affected by peak travel demand like all other travel modes, but ferries experience both daily commuter peaks as well as seasonal tourist peaks. Sizing the fleet for peaks is difficult, since vessels are expensive, and their capacity comes in large units – you can't add a half boat to take on a peak load. WSF has adopted boat wait standards to communicate peak capacity to users. WSF has also adopted zero boat wait standards for buses, walk-on passengers, pre-registered carpools and vanpools, and certain reservations and freight users.
Intermodal Connections
In Island and Kitsap Counties and on Vashon Island, transit service is timed and linked with ferry schedules. In downtown Seattle, there is very frequent transit service, but not specifically linked to ferry schedules. New intermodal connections issues will emerge with the construction of new
intermodal ferry terminals in Mukilteo and Edmonds, that may have connections to commuter rail services.
Trip Reliability
WSF measures, reports, and manages on-time performance and missed boats by route to improve customer service.

So, I have been full-time cloth diapering my little one for 13 months. I have LOVED it and I only use BumGenius 4.0. Well, I have discovered they do a terrible job when my son has diarrhea. This is the first time he has ever had it, so I did not think it would be any sort of problem. With every single bowel movement his outfits have been destroyed from his waist all the way down to his shoes. Has anybody else had terrible experiences with cloth diapers when their LO has diarrhea? If you have any words of advice I would appreciate it!
I switched to disposables to make clean-up easier. However, this only lasted for a day because the sposies (along with the diarrhea) made my son develop a horrible diaper rash.

The notion of working for yourself has serious allure these days—but every would-be entrepreneur should have these essentials in place before taking the plunge.
1. Impeccable Credit
If you have any credit card debt, or your FICO credit score is not at least 720, you're not yet ready to take on this venture. How can you expect to have a successful business when your personal finances aren't in great shape?
2. Experience
If you're contemplating a total career change, work for someone who's already doing what you hope to do. It doesn't have to be full-time; it can be just a few days a week. The idea is to learn before you leap. Keep a start-up journal: Every day after work, write down what you learned that day, both good and bad. Those lessons are the template for your future success.
3. Basic Knowledge of Operations
You must know your way around a P&L statement. Not sure what that is? It's shorthand for profit and loss, and it's a crucial tool. You also need to understand the tax rules of being self-employed. Look for a Small Business Development Center in your region. These nonprofit outfits, typically housed at colleges or universities, offer classes, training, and materials to help you learn the ins and outs. Search for a center near you at the Association of Small Business Development Centers Web site (asbdc-us.org).
4. Twelve Months of Operating Expenses
It can take a year to establish your business and start getting paid on a regular basis, so you'll need a cushion—and these savings must be separate from your personal emergency fund. In addition, your start-up money should not come from your retirement accounts or home equity. Borrowing from your future or leveraging your home is not allowed.

Robot Floor Cleaners
|Related Pages
Hi, I'm considering one of the floor-cleaning robots (iRobot Scooba or Evolution Robotics; Neato seems to be for vacuuming only). Does anyone have any experience with these? Do they work with hardwood floors? We also have tile floors in the kitchen, and I was hoping I could use a robot for them, too. Thank you! robots rule?
Can anyone recommend the iRobot Roomba? I need a new vacuum cleaner. We have hardwood floors, a dog, a toddler. We've used canister vacuums till now, but they never seem to last very long ad I'm fed up with them. Love the idea of just turning the vauum on and letting it do its thing. But it seems to good to be true. Would love feedback before I waste my money. Thanks! amy
The only recommendations I make are that you use the electronic divider they provide to section off the room (it works best if the room is medium size or smaller (it works fine on large rooms but it works best when a larger room is sectioned off). Additionally, I often sweep before I run the Roomba. Once again this is not required but our dog sheds a lot and by sweeping in advance I don't have to clean the filter as often. Jamila
We're thinking about getting either a Roomba (robot vacuum) or a Scooba (their new robot wet mop) and I'm wondering if they really work - if you have one, what do you think of it? If you didn't buy one, why not? We have all hardwood or tile floors, with low-pile rugs -- and cat hair. Would the Scooba work without having to vacuum first? Have you tried using the Scooba with vinegar and water or some other safer/cheaper alternative to their proprietary cleaning solution? Thanks for your input! JP
We do have a Roomba, and we're very pleased with it. However we notice that it does accumulate dirt and hair on all of its parts. These should be removed after each use. Else they'll shorten the Roomba's life.
In other words, the Roomba is a techie device, and it responds well to the kind of loving care that a techie would give it. If you don't enjoy taking things apart and cleaning them, then you should stick to a more rugged machine. Something like a conventional vacuum cleaner. Techie Nerd in Berkeley

Press Releases
News from the Diocese of Southwark
New Archdeacon of Lambeth
21 Apr 2013
The Bishop of Southwark, the Rt Revd Christopher Chessun has appointed the Revd Simon Gates to be the next Archdeacon of Lambeth. He succeeds the Venerable Chris Skilton who has become the Archdeacon of Croydon.
Simon Gates (53) is the Vicar of St Thomas with St Stephen, Telford Park, and Area Dean of Lambeth South Deanery in the Diocese of Southwark. He was ordained Deacon in 1987 and Priest in 1988. He served his title at St John's Southall, in London Diocese. He then became Associate Minister of St Andrew's Kowloon in Hong Kong before moving to Telford Park. He is married to Helen and has three children and enjoys hiking, gardening, and cooking for others. He is leading a group of young people from his parish to China this summer where they will work in an orphanage. In order to fundraise for this trip they are undertaking the three peaks challenge in June.
Speaking of his appointment, Simon Gates said, 'I am delighted to accept Bishop Christopher's invitation to serve as the Archdeacon of Lambeth. Lambeth is a thriving Archdeaconry, and I consider it a privilege to be asked to serve many vibrant churches with innovative ministry and mission. One of the things that excites me about this move is getting to know better the clergy and churches in the Archdeaconry and I ask for prayer that I may be worthy of the calling'.
Bishop Christopher says, 'Simon Gates is a very experienced parish priest and has shown his passion for mission while serving as Area Dean of Lambeth. His appointment completes the team of Archdeacons within the Diocese. I am confident he is well equipped to give encouragement and support as we take forward the implementation of the Diocesan 'Strategy for Ministry' and identify the many signs of growth in our churches.
The Bishop of Kingston, The Rt Revd Dr Richard Cheetham says, 'Stephen Roberts, the Archdeacon of Wandsworth, and I are very much looking forward to Simon joining the Team here in Kingston. He will bring his own skills and gifts to this demanding role and will ably build on the work started by his predecessor, Chris Skilton, in keeping the parishes and clergy in good heart and focussed on sharing the Good News of Christ.'

Secrets of Success
I lied.
Thursday, March 28, 2013
I DO enjoy food.
After my last blog entry, I decided to make a change in my behavior and instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself to go and do 10 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. I brought along the book I'm reading, conveniently The Spark, and 10 minutes turned into 30.
Then I decided to go eat breakfast, and I was going to make an egg.
I always eat an egg.
Seriously. I am so boring and can only cook so many things that a fried egg is like my go-to breakfast. 2 eggs, a piece of toast and some coffee all crammed down my throat before I run out and get in the car so as not to be one second late ever. (I have been late to work ONE time in the last 7 months. I punched in at 1:02 instead of 1:00)
So since Vyvyan was out of the house and I had the morning to myself and I had even done a workout for the first time in, let's face it a long time. Like 10 days long. I decided to go ahead and cook a nice big breakfast. I don't cook very often, but as I pulled out the eggs I spotted some broccoli down at the bottom of the fridge and thought hmm maybe I'll put broccoli in my eggs.
Oh we have mushrooms!
DUUUUUUUUDE! I totally put the bacon in the fridge to thaw yesterday! YES~!!!!
ERHMAGERD Green onions!?
Maybe I should put some avocado on top!
What is an omelette without cheese anyways?
And I thoroughly enjoyed preparing, cooking and eating my 903 calorie breakfast.
I think that may have been the highlight of my week.
And I thought for a minute that it was funny that I would work out and read all this inspiring crap about positive change and then go right to a 903 calorie breakfast complete with almost 100% of the fat and protein I need in a day, but then I realized that my sparkpeople journey is unique to me. I have never had a problem with my weight- I've been pretty generally the same size throughout my life from age 14, and even when I was on Sparkpeople every single day back in 2009 to get rid of my beer weight, I never REALLY limited or changed my food intake. Because dude.
Avocadoes are good for you.
What I know about myself is that when I close in the middle of the week I skip lunch.
I get sooo hungry and grumpy all because I ate a late breakfast because I woke up so late because I stayed up so late the night before desperately trying to get some time to myself after Vyvyan falls asleep and it's just. Stupid.
So yeah my sparkpeople goals aren't really anything to do with weight LOSS. Or even weight maintenance. I just want to be happy, and I truly believe that working out has a lot to do with that. So today I had a gigantic breakfast that was superbly delicious and I enjoyed it and it made me happy.
I'm going to go to work and I'm going to try to help (REALLY HELP, not just go, "the glue is in that aisle") at least 3 people.
I am going to drink 8 cups of water.
I am going to take both of my scheduled breaks.
I am going to knit on my scheduled breaks.
For lunch I am going to have a small quiznos salad (just like yesterday omg yum the raspberry dressing! The little crunchy bits!)
and tomorrow is truck day.

I must confess that I am puzzled by this blog because I read that you are perfectly happy with eating a 903 cal breakfast and that you really don�t have any wieght issues (I have not read enough about you to know wether you need to lose weight or not) but want to feel happy and think exercise will do that for you.
Scientifically it should work, I think I habe read enough research results about the effect on your brain, serotonin and all that stuff from exercise and I also think that a 903 cal breakfast one in a while will not hurt you if you truly enjoy it.
For me the damaging part would be that I had another plan but it truned into eating a lot. WHen that happens (too often!) I will not feel okay however much exercise I have had, I will feel as if I hae - once again - failed in what I wanted to do. But that is brain ghosts so if you don�t have that garbage going on in your brain - I am happy for you!

You need to change up your breakfast choices.
How about yogurt w/fruit and granola?
Or if you have to stay w/eggs, my grocery store sells a packet to make hollandaise that all you add is water - for eggs benedict, and it's actually not that bad
I do have to admit your breakfast sounded good!!!

Warren (Buffett!) Is in the House.
On May 2, 2013, at the age of 82, Warren Buffett sent his first tweet, "Warren is in the house." He did so publicly, in the middle of a live-streaming interview with Fortune's Patricia Sellers. The discussion, titled "Women, Work & Other Wisdom" was the first of its kind, a social interview conversation to discuss his views on women in the workforce.
The interview came as a follow-up to his essay, "Warren Buffett is bullish…on women," published earlier that day online by Fortune Magazine. Per Mr. Buffett, the essay is a response to a lot of the ideas he had, some of which were sparked by Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In: Women, Work & the Will to Lead. In his essay, Mr. Buffett acknowledges society's role in denying women with equal opportunities in the workforce, but also says that it is important for women to stop imposing limitations on themselves. He muses that since thus far, America has only utilized 50% of its workforce, he can only imagine how far we can go if we utilized 100% of our human capacity.
Warren Buffett's Fortune interview was followed a few days later with another, this time with Levo League co-founder, Caroline Ghosn. Both were especially great to watch. There were so many nuggets of wisdom, but here are a few that resonated most with me, none of which are gender specific.
Why Failure Isn't So Bad
Towards the end of the Levo interview, Mr. Buffett told the story of taking a 10-hour train ride to Chicago to interview for Harvard Business School, where he was promptly turned down in the span of 10 minutes. One of his biggest concerns as he turned around to take the 10-hour trip back, was wondering how he would tell his dad, who had always told him he could do anything.
Looking back, he can see that everything worked out for the best. He went to Columbia where he met Ben Graham, and then his wife, two of the most important people in shaping his life and career (more here).
Mr Buffett said,
If you fail, you really do [have to] dust yourself off and get right back in…Almost everything that looked like a failure turned into success…always remember, the world isn't over yet.
Failure is a hard pill to swallow, but it is important to not give up, as it is many times just a stepping stone to something better, and what is meant to be.
Why Passion Is So Important
Passion is a theme throughout all interviews with Warren Buffett. He does not believe in taking jobs just to build a resume, or working hard just to make money. Work-Life balance is not an issue for him because he enjoys work or "getting to paint his canvas everyday."
For example, he has always been a voracious reader, reading all the investment books in his local library by the age of 11. Mr. Buffett still reads 5-6 hours a day, not because he has to – but because he is passionate about the topics, and that is no doubt one reason he is so successful in choosing investments. Moral of the story? Do what you love!
On the Meaning of Success
For more impatient readers, fast-forward to 7:07 in the video below where Warren Buffett is asked how he would define success. Surprise – it's not about money or power. It's about having the love and respect of the people that matter most to you.
You can have all the money in the world. You can have buildings named after you, hospital wings, whatever it may be…[but] unless you have people that really care about you, you're not a success.
Enough said. After you've had a chance to watch the full interview below, let me know what you think. What are YOUR biggest takeaways?
Wait…there's more!
Feeling inspired? Can't get enough of Mr. Buffett's wisdom? If so, here is a link to the Levo interview and also to a few of my favorite articles on him and his anectdotes and life lessons. Enjoy!
Levo League Interview – Caroline did a wonderful job interviewing Mr. Buffett – they both claimed to be introverts, but you wouldn't know it from the way they seemed to connect so easily, and make the conversation flow so well.
5 Lessons From Warren Buffett's Office Hours, Drake Baer, Fast Company – More great lessons here, especially about confidence and the importance of overcoming the fear of public speaking.
Say No To the Funhouse Mirror, Jesse Draper, Forbes – Read this article to really understand what the "funhouse mirror" is and how to start looking at your abilities realistically. I also love how Jesse mentions Mr. Buffett's answer to the classic question "If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would it be…?"
20 Uncommon Lessons from My Weekend with Warren Buffett, Scott Dinsmore, Live Your Legend – This is from last year, but just as relevant today. Print it out and read it on your commute if you have must, but it is not to be missed.
How To Find And Do Work You Love, Scott Dinsmore, TEDx – This is an inspiring talk in its own right, but I add this link here because of a piece of Buffett wisdom that Scott shares near the beginning of the talk, one that completely changed the course of his career.

Salsa dancing is the most popular form of partner dancing in the world, with dancers all over not just the US, but South America, Europe, and Asia as well! Salsa dancing is a fun activity for people of all ages, and there are many benefits to learning this great dance. Here are 4 main ones:
1) Salsa dancing is healthy
Looking for a great way to get some cardio and lose weight? Look no further than salsa dancing! Salsa dancing is a great way to burn some calories and get into great shape! It's full body activity that utilizes all of your muscles, and typical dancers dance for several hours every night, so it's a great way to lose weight and keep your body healthy! Forget about paying for an expensive gym membership or working out in a room full of sweaty men, salsa dancing is a great way to have fun and get in shape at the same time!
2) Salsa dancing is social
One of the main benefits of social dancing is that it's a great social dancing. If you're the like the typical American adult, you spend the majority of your time in the office, then come home and watch TV or goof around on Facebook. Then, on the weekends you might go out and go to a bar to get a drink, and that's it. Not much opportunity to socialize and meet new people.
If you dance salsa, however, you will have the chance to dance with and meet new people practically every night of the week. And you don't have to spend tons of money on cover fees and alcohol either, salsa dancing is a natural social lubricant. Salsa dancing attracts people from all walks of life, so it's a great place to network and to meet lifelong friends. And of course, salsa is flirtatious and sexy by nature, so it's also a great place to meet that special someone.
3) Salsa dancing builds confidence
If you've always been a little insecure about your dancing skills, then you'll be glad to hear that salsa dancing is a great way to build confidence. There's nothing quite as frightening as getting onto the dance floor and putting yourself on the spot, but through salsa dancing you will grow to enjoy it.
What's great about salsa is that there are a set pattern of steps you learn, and instructors will teach you step-by-step exactly what to do. Before you long you will feel a lot more confident in your dancing, and that confidence will transfer to other areas of your life, from work, family, friends, and any social occasion. There's no one that's quite confident like a good dancer.
4) Salsa dancing is a lifelong hobby
Although the basic steps of salsa are simple to learn, there are so many variations when it comes to salsa dancing patterns and styles that it can become a lifetime pursuit if you wish it. With salsa, there's always something new to learn, so it's a great way to continually challenge yourself, learn new things, and grow as a person.
Once you learn salsa, it will be a lifelong skill that you can take with you anywhere you go. Every major city in almost every country has salsa dancing, so you'll have plenty of company. If you love to travel, salsa is a great way to meet people in new cities, or if you prefer to stay at home, it's a great people to meet new people in your current city.
There are so many benefits to salsa dancing, why don't you give it a try?

UCLA 86, California 66
February 19, 2014
UCLA head coach Steve Alford
"Getting this big of a win on the road, that's a big positive. I thought we played really well. Jordan [Adams] is really in a groove, and I think, I hope it is because we are really deep in our ability to score baskets. I think what Jordan is doing, he is starting to get rhythm. Zach [LaVine] was in rhythm early. I thought he showed some signs of getting back to rhythm after a couple sub-par games from him. Having a lot of scoring, you can afford having maybe one guy not having a good scoring night since we have so many guys who can pick up the slack. Jordan is in a groove right now, but I will tell you what, I think you are seeing Trav, Travis [Wear] is starting to really kick in and play the way we know Travis can play. I think Travis and Dave [Wear] have been tremendous as well, and I thought Tony [Parker] gave us a real spark as well. Top to bottom I think all 10 guys who played, played very well."
on scoring points in the paint
"Well, we've been doing a pretty good job with that. We are a good offensive rebounding team, we've been a good rebounding team. We got out and ran. I thought we started the game well. I don't know if it was 11-5 or 13-5, but when you come on the road and immediately get a three to four possession lead early, it can at least set a tone. It doesn't mean that you are going to retain that all the time, but we never looked back. I don't know if we trailed at all in tonight's game, and that is hard to do in this building. It is a great credit to the guys. They were focused, they concentrated, they made shots. As a team they had 21 assists and six turnovers. You know you've got 10,000 people in here, and you are on the road and to only have six turnovers, that is a credit to the young men in that locker room."

Mandi's Reads: Sad Girl With Books
Pictured: me being sad with books
"Sad Girl With Books." That search brought someone to this blog a little while ago, and four words have never made me so happy. I love the thought that out there in the world, some kindred spirit sat down at their computer, typed "sad girl with books," and fate and an algorithm brought them to me. Google has cemented my identity. I am now Sad Girl With Books™. I have a brand.
My brand, Sad Girl With Books™, is obviously the brand of a spinster. Way back in May, I declared this the Summer of the Spinster. Here are the rules for Summer of the Spinster:
*Spinsterhood is a state of mind.
*Anyone can be a spinster regardless of age, gender, or marital status.
*#SummeroftheSpinster doesn't care about you unplugging for the season or looking swimsuit ready. It just cares if you're crotchety as hell.
Activities for Summer of the Spinster:
*Drink alone
*Drink with people
*Read alone
*Read while you're ignoring people
*Cancel plans
*Rant about things
*Summer of the Spinster is about doing what you want at all times, just so long as your presence ups the creep factor of the group you're with.
Summer of the Spinster Fashion:
*Take your style cues from spinsters of yore. Let Miss Havisham be your life coach (except for the whole letting cake go to waste fiasco).
*Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are excellent spinster style mavens.
*If you're feeling jaunty, throw a doily over your shoulders for that "just been donated to Goodwill" look.
*If you need face powder, save money by scooping up some of the dust caking your recluse's hovel.
*Stop moisturizing immediately in order to achieve maximum crepeyness.
Remember: I'm not only a participant in Summer of the Spinster, I am its founder. I am the Spirit of Summer of the Spinster (evidence: this picture of me as Miss Mandi Havisham). And the Spirit of Summer of the Spinster commands you to go forth and read some not at all dusty books about sexy, independent, fashionable spinsters:
Cocaine Blues: A Phryne Fisher Mystery
By: Kerry Greenwood
This is where it all started! The first classic Phryne Fisher mystery, featuring our delectable heroine, cocaine, communism and adventure. Phryne leaves the tedium of English high society for Melbourne, Australia, and never looks back.
The London season is in full fling at the end of the 1920s, but the Honorable Phryne Fisher—she of the green-grey eyes, diamant garters, and outfits that should not be sprung suddenly on those of nervous dispositions—is rapidly tiring of the tedium of arranging flowers, making polite conversations with retired colonels, and dancing with weak-chinned men. Instead, Phryne decides it might be rather amusing to try her hand at being a lady detective in Melbourne, Australia.
Almost immediately from the time she books into the Windsor Hotel, Phryne is embroiled in mystery: poisoned wives, cocaine smuggling rings, corrupt cops and communism—not to mention erotic encounters with the beautiful Russian dancer, Sasha de Lisse—until her adventure reaches its steamy end in the Turkish baths of Little Lonsdale Street.

The Habit of Being: The Letters of Flannery O'Connor
By: Flannery O'Connor
"I have come to think that the true likeness of Flannery O'Connor will be painted by herself, a self-portrait in words, to be found in her letters…There she stands, a phoenix risen from her own words: calm, slow, funny, courteous, both modest and very sure of herself, intense, sharply penetrating, devout but never pietistic, downright, occasionally fierce, and honest in a way that restores honor to the word."—Sally Fitzgerald (Publisher's Marketing)

One of Our Thursdays is Missing
By: Jasper Fforde
Fans can breathe a sigh of relief because Thursday Next—or at least one of her—is back. At a time of great unrest in the BookWorld, only the ace literary detective can avert a devastating Genre War—thing is, Thursday has vanished. Now the written Thursday must answer the call, save the BookWorld, evade capture, and find the actual Thursday! With a clockwork Butler in tow, and Men in Plaid as well as her Designated Love Interest in pursuit, she must reluctantly agree to journey up the mysterious Metaphoric River for answers.
