For those that home school do you include your infants and toddlers? Do youĀplan out lesson plans for them as well? I would love toĀget some ideas for toddlers and infants. I looked some up online but they were kind of blahĀ
Lesson Plans (Activities) For Toddlers and Infants

Hhmm...first start with signing Latin...then move onto algebra.
Just kidding. I couldn't resist. I would say love, talk, sing, kiss, hold your baby. Let your toddler make messes. Children are naturally scientists...you don't want to plan the fun out of them.
BTW, I don't homeschool anymore...officially...although all parents that are involved usually do stuff at home as well. But when I did...I definitely had NO lesson plans...especially with an infant or toddler.
Josiah 11, Sevrin 9, Ethan 7, Iris 5 , Isla Jane, 1 year old!
Food eating, toothbrushing, water drinking mama of five.
Well thatŌĆÖs a given that you give lots of TLC! As well as┬Ālet them explore, as they do..┬ĀI am referring to the same time that the other kiddos will be doing lessons not the entire day kwim? Maybe an hour out of the day. I would like to plan it out into a schedule that way I can be prepared the day beforehand with EVERYONES schedule and they feel like they feel as though they are involved in activities the same as the other children.
I know my infant is not going to know the difference but my toddler does and it will be nice for everyone to be in the same mode. I am also watching a few toddlers as┬Āwell a few days a week.┬Ā

By the way I worked in day care for many years and we always did lesson plans for them. Wish I would have held on to some┬Ā

I also wanted to add┬Āa few things that┬ĀI am already doing with them. I have volume 1 and 2 of "your baby can read" I absolutely love it! My two year old and 8 month old really┬Āseem to enjoy it as well. Even my ┬Ā6 and8 year old do and ┬ĀI also love the bonding between us during our time doing these┬Āfun different projects/games/learning time together.
Another fun┬Āactivity/game is the vtech smiles baby games it is fun for both age groups (toddler/infant) and there are great learning tools on them such as sign language which I find very beneficial as my son has speech apraxia and the younger they learn the better even if they do not have such a disorder.
I like to do sensory stimulating games with my toddler and even my 8 month old is able to do this activity. My 6 year old the one with apraxia┬Āalso has fine motor skill issues so I like to incorporate that into this activity as well which is very beneficial to all of them.
I like to put them into┬Ā"lesson plans" with my other kiddos as we all know, you have to always plan ahead when you have a large family ┬ĀAnyone else want to share some cool activities/games that┬Āyou use?┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā

I have 3 yo twins so I guess they are technically preKers but they have "school" too or else they feel left out. I set out a play mat (those lamiated placemat things) and put something different out on the table every day. Usually puzzles, playdoh, watercolors, stamps, stickers, collage cards, paper and safety scissors, tangrams, and sometimes a tub full of rice or other grain.┬Ā We do Letter of the Week to a point. I use some of their stuff and other things I mix in from perpetual preschool or preschool express. I don't have a lesson plan per se, we are more theme people I guess. Last week we did a super cute unit with The Very Hungry Caterp[i;;er and this week we were supposed to do some fun things with water but I have a puking kid so all plans are on hold lol I am probably closer to an unschooler for preK and K so you may or may not agree with my style.
Yes, I have a lot of kids.
And yes, I'm glad they are mine and not yours too!
ButterflyGarden, I love your ideas! We all have different styles of teaching and learning. I am one of those that has to plan out my week. Chores, teaching the kiddos, errands and so forth. Otherwise I will just get side tracked┬Āand not get anything done.┬Ā
I am┬Ācurrently working on my BA in elementary education and one of my teachers did not have us follow a syllabus schedule. Man was I lost lol.. I am the type that has "to do lists" too or nothing┬Āgets done┬ĀI dont make my kids have strict schedules or anything it is all really for my sanity and for me┬Āto stay on track.┬Ā

I also wanted to share this link of activities for infants as well as other age groups┬Āthat is neat.

I have made some activity bags for my 3 year ole. Things like threading beads through laces, Stamps, scissors and psper. There are other examples online if you do a google search. it is nice to have a selection of bags made up and put away, and when it is time for lessons you just pull one out for them to use.
I also have certain toys that can only come out during school time for my toddler. That way they seem like a treat. I keep them in the closet in the kithchen which is where we do our lessons... Speaking of I need to go get mine ready for today

i just liked how she gave ideas-sometimes my sleep deprived mind forgets even simple things like Farmer in the Dell
I saw this on the homeschooling board and thought it was so neat! I don't think I could do trays. I don't like clutter and wouldn't have anywhere to store that many trays. But I might do bins full of different activities and just switch them out regularly.

Hey Jake,
as a fellow M.E. I painfully know how difficult your undergrad class work is. Plus doing Sports and doing Sports well too !!. Dude, let this be a learning experience. Take your licks and move on. My long view of this is in 10-15 years your Engineering department co-workers will be calling you "boss". There is a big world out there outside of Utah. and Engineers change the world in little steps. Don't believe me? Are you reading this on an IPAD? IPADs didn't exist 5 years ago. English Majors didn't design these things ENGINEERS DID !!!

C'mon people... Like this haas NEVER happened before? A 21 yr old guy buys
a cold case for a group of friends and a couple of these drinks are consumed by
some 19-20 year old girls??? Why isn't it the girls' responsiblity to
NOT have any? Doubtful they were held down and forced to drink.
This wouldn't EVER even be reported in the St. George Greensheet if this kid wasn't a Football player. I have a lot more respect for his being on the honor roll.... and in that subject... not exactly sociology or communications.... than anything else in this article.
The double standard continues... Go ahead kids, and go and party on Spring Break like thousands/millions(?) of others...

Spring Break and college kids usually equal booze.
Too bad the 2 girls don't have more accountability in this situation.
SLC Guy was right, had he not been a football player, we would not be reading about this, and he may have not even been arrested.

I know this is a little off topic, but I still don't understand why the drinking age is 21 and not 18. At 18 you can join the military and die for your country. You can vote, sign a contract, be prosecuted as an adult, go off to college and be relatively considered "of age" except you can't buy a beer. Either raise the age to 21 for these other activities, or lower the drinking age to 18. I'm old enough (43) to remember when the age was 18. And BTW, I don't drink.

Obama10: "...I still don't understand why the drinking age is 21 and

Because a higher minimum legal drinking age is effective in preventing alcohol-related deaths and injuries among youth (think traffic accidents). When the legal drinking age has been lowered, injury and death rates have increased, and when the drinking age is increased, death and injury rates decline.

@blueNtheface I understand that is the argument. So my point is, if we are "graduating adulthood" maybe we should "graduate" other aspects also. In the military, an 18 year old has access to automatic weapons and machinery worth millions of dollars. Should they have this access? Were they truly "adult" enough to be informed about enlisting, or worse yet, drafted? An 18 year old can vote. Are they really old enough to make an informed vote? Are they truly capable of signing a contract, rental agreement, or apply for a credit card and know the consequences? If they are not responsible enough to drink, then maybe we should say they are not responsible enough for these other "adult" responsibilities. Obviously the LDS church feels they're responsible enough to send them around the world to be ambassadors for the church? I just think it is hypocritical. And I still would like to see studies where the lower drinking age causes an increase in alcohol-related injuries because no state has had a drinking age of 18 since the late '80s when the Federal government tied highway funds to states to strong-arm them into raising the age limit.

Hey Jake,
Sandhollow reservoir, the scene of your legal mishap, was recently built and came on-line in about 2000. Washington county water agency wants to run a pipeline from Powell to Sandhollow to supply water to the residents of St. George and its surburbs. On paper that project is suppose to be done in 2020. Civil Engineers designed and oversaw constuction of the dam. Mechanical ENGINEERS will design the Hydroelectric plants along the pipeline. When you get to Europe eventually, keep your eye peeled for the old Roman Aqueducts although 2,000 years old some reaches of the old canals still work.
Focus on that Engineering Degree and don't look back from this kertuffle.

They're not based in Seattle (seems to be part of some national publisher) but they're having a local launch party Fri Sept 9 at the Rendezvous with live music, DJs, and no smoking (the event is sponsored by Art Patch).

If regulation of the press is too tight it will benefit the corrupt and the overpowerful – not ordinary citizens
Amid the turmoil, it is a calming moment when a superior judicial mind appears on the stage. The appointment of Lord Justice Leveson to lead the two inquiries commissioned by the Government, one into phone hacking and malpractice, the other into press ethics, brings with it the hope that perpetrators will be brought to justice, order restored and, perhaps, journalists eventually returned to their previous level of status — somewhere just above the gutter, rather than squarely in it.
I hope, but it is a tall order. Powerful newspapers stand accused of mistreating little people. Judges are trusted to stop them.

- Hi, my name is Mordy Golding and welcome to Illustrator Insider Training, coloring artwork. Many of us take color for granted, now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that we don't spend a lot of time thinking about color. As designers, color is an important part of just about anything that we create. But it's more than just a fill attribute. I'll discuss the many ways that you can actually define and organize color in Illustrator. Then we'll explore a world of color inspiration. Where we can build pals of colors that work perfectly for any task.
Once you have a solid understanding of how Illustrator thinks about color. I'll show you how easy it is to manipulate and modify colors at will. I'll even show you how to convert colors to grayscale, and grayscale back to color. And help you understand basic color management and proofing settings. As with all Illustrator Insider Training courses, I'm assuming that you already have some basic familiarity with Illustrator. Now are you ready for a splash of color? Great, let's dive into Illustrator Insider Training, coloring artwork.

Skip to comments.Coast to Coast Announcement: Al Qaeda Smuggling Nukes into U.S. ?
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:33:59 PM PDT by ex-Texan
Tonight on Coast to Coast, author Paul L. Williams will be discussing the possibility that al Qaeda may have smuggled suitcase nukes into the U.S. The interview will be broadcast between 10:00 pm and 12:00 midnight.
Coast2Coast Web Site
This investigative broadcast was inspired by the World Net Daily report of two days ago. That report claimed that Al Qaeda used our open borders and violent drug gangs to smuggle suitcase nukes into the U.S.
Report: Al Qaeda Nukes Already in U.S.
In his acclaimed exposé, Osamas Revenge: The Next 9/11, terrorism expert Paul L. Williams revealed the likelihood of nuclear terrorism on American soil. Now in this chilling sequel Williams further explores the shocking dimensions of the international terrorist threat to Americans. Williams reveals persuasive evidence that al Qaeda has now established connections with the Sicilian Mafia, which is helping to finance terrorism through the sale of Number Four heroin, the present drug of choice in Europe and the United States.
In addition, through its ties to the Chechen Mafia, the group responsible for the heinous attack on a Russian school, al Qaeda has managed to obtain nuclear weapons from poorly secured and carelessly guarded storehouses in Russia.
Perhaps the most disturbing evidence uncovered by Williams is the relation of al Qaeda to an obscure Salvadoran street gang, which calls itself Mara Salvatrucha and has expanded exponentially. In exchange for big money, this violent group of anarchic thugs has smuggled weapons of mass destruction and sleeper agents across the Mexican border onto American soil, or what they refer to as the land of the "Great Satan."
No other book deals with the connection between international, extremist Islamic terrorism and organized crimea connection that has made possible the establishment of a well-financed branch of al Qaeda in Latin America and the creation of terrorist cells in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States.
Williams convincingly demonstrates that by means of this network Bin Laden is now in a position to execute his dream of an American Hiroshima, an apocalyptic act of mass murder within the borders of the United States. Though vigorously working to prevent such an attack, many military experts and security officials concede the probability of nuclear terrorism in America, perhaps in the immediate future.
About the Author
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D. (Clarks Green, PA), is a journalist and the author of Osamas Revenge: The Next 9/11 and The Vatican Exposed: Money, Murder, and the Mafia, among other books. Formerly, he served as a consultant for the FBI, editor and publisher of the Metro, and an adjunct professor of Humanities at the University of Scranton.
1. this has already been posted 2x here tonight.
2. Why in the world are you paying any attention to coast to coast
And this story has been around for years. If they had 'em, they would have used 'em by now.
Heard the show. George is sometimes so gullible, or acts that way. The only show they ever did that got me going was the first one on Peak Oil.
Coast to Coast talks about faces carved into mountains on Mars, alien visitation, and had a guy on in 2001 who predicted Bush would no longer be President in the year 2002. How can you question such an unimpeachable source???? ;)
Yeah, when you see an Arab with a nuclear warhead strapped to his chest
walking down the street, remember to call Barney Fife at the Mayberry
Police Department. The Soviets had backpack/suitcase nukes prepositioned
in the USA since the mid-1970s - the only way you can defend against the
threat of a suitcase nuke is to avoid being where it is likely to go off.
Stay out of Manhattan and DC and you've very little risk. Eventually one
will be detonated in NYC or DC and you'll find out that, while killing
thousands of people, the damage will be far less than you expect. In fact
the collapse of the WTC towers released well more than 12 kilotons of
energy, so you'll likely see less of a blast radius than that of the WTC
tower collapse. There will be radioactive fallout, and Manhattan (and
probably Queens and Brooklyn) will need to be evacuated for a few weeks or
even a month. Sure it's bad, but it is nothing like the threat of
widespread nuclear war that we faced from the Soviets in the 1970s and
1980s. Avoid NYC and DC and you'll be safe.
if you took the time to read "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" -
published by the AEC back in the 1950s, you'd know that the reason
Hiroshima and Nagasaki had so much damage is because those cities were
composed mostly of WOOD BUILDINGS. Most of the concrete structures even
those close to ground zero survived. In addition, Hiroshima and Nagasaki
were chosen for their locations in the bowl between hills to focus the
blast effect of an airburst (which you can't even do with a suitcase nuke
unless you can throw it up in the air to 1,500 feet above ground level.
suitcase nuke in NYC will cause LESS damage than the WTC collapse. NYC is
not made of single story wood (burnable) buildings - it is made of
strongly built concrete and steel - and a ground burst will have the blast
focused UPWARD (not downward like an airburst at Nagasaki or Hiroshima),
and the surrounding concrete/steel buildings will act as tampers and
focus even more of that blast upward.
Suitcase nukes. That is one of worst scams perpetrated on the American public since the global warming hoax and one-hour Martinizing.
Chem trails was Goerge Noory's best of show
And why would anyone listen to what this guy has to say?
What is "coast to coast" and why shouldn't he pay attention to them?
""The Soviets had backpack/suitcase nukes prepositioned
in the USA since the mid-1970s""
this nonsense again????
"Coast to Coast" is the radio show for the Black Helicopter/Tinfoil Hat crowd.
Art Bell,Coast to Coast,=Fraud,Hoax,Losers
Yeah, what ever happened to all these backpack nukes that were missing ... I agree with you, I never found this rumor to have much validity.
Ah, no wonder I don't know it.
one-hour Martinizing.
What about 3 hour hannitizing?
William James - The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.
The first time I heard that show I laughed through the entire segment because I thought it was a humor show. I've heard it for 30 seconds at a time here and there when I've gotten in the car late at night, and it's not funny anymore now that I realize these morons are serious.
How much you wanna bet I can throw that football nuke over them mountains?
...oh, suitcase nuke...
Naw, I think it's more like a show for crackpots and nutjobs! I listened to it a little bit the other night (on a short drive home, late) and they were discussing aliens and how aliens were trying to get Adam and Eve, etc.!!
"Why in the world are you paying any attention to coast to coast?"
One reason is that I have lived in Southern California. Violent Mexican gangs are everywhere. Also the Zapatistas are involved with drug smuggling and control most of fast food places in SoCal. I have seen it with my own eyes and heard the rough Mexican slag they use to insult Americanos. The problem is that most U.S. citizens don't even know what is going on around them.
Give George Noory a chance. He was so upset the other night about the WND report that he was demanding an investigation by mainstream media.
saw that movie over the week end and all i can say is WTF
Noory never challenges his guests either.
Don't we have nukes smuggled into Jordon, Syria, China, Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan....I thought so...
Typo. That should be a suicase Nike, with swoosh.
i dont doubt mexican gangs waging war in so cal, but that is a logn way from nukes buried nad ready for action in the US
You're just jealous because I've been chatting with babes all day.
Glad you're an ex-Texan
he got the babe in that movie where are you getting those pictures
(Thanks for a good laugh--and good point).
I have a masters degree in Internet Researching.
Maybe for the laughs.
All they have to do is put it in a little airplane.. remember how close that one got to the white house? sure it could get 1,500 feet up.
"Suitcase nukes. That is one of worst scams perpetrated on the American public since the global warming hoax and one-hour Martinizing."
Absolutely. The required maintenence on these devices is high, the lack of shielding becaule of the small size causes the electronics to decay quickly. not to mention all of the other issues.simple detection, etc.
I don't like Noory at all and got in an e-mail spat with him during the run up to the war in Iraq.
Having said that, the gang problem is real and growing. I remember reading right after September 11 that they were recruiting the disenfranchised in the United States. I don't believe they are suicide bombers or capable of a sophisticated attack but then look what a guy like McVeigh did.
It is so wonderfully mindless~!!! Who can get so upset over silly entertainment show?
At one point I leaned over and asked him about the possibility of small planes carrying WMDs. The man turned white instantly. He only comment to me was, "I cannot comment on your question. I can only say that we are very concerned."
Small nukes, radiological weapons, aerosol chemical and biological weapons might kill as many as a million people in Los Angeles County. All Abu Mohammad Hamza has to do is shave his beard and leave his mustache. When the INS asks him what he is doing today, is reply, "No habla, senior."
Hey. I'm into chupachabras. But Norry can't hold a candle to Bell.
I know a guy who had a pet chupachabra. But it sucked all his goats dry and escaped into the Arizona desert. LOL, LOL, LOL! But I agree with you about Art Bell being the greatest entertainer on late night radio.
Yeah, go ahead an mock. But they DID predict the birth of the legendary two headed parakeet didn't they?
Oh great, now you've done it. They would have never thought of that until you brought it up.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia will try to recover from its first 0-2
start in 15 years after losing a starting linebacker for the second
straight week.
Coach Mark Richt says junior Christian Robinson, who hurt his
foot Saturday in a 45-42 loss to then-No. 12 South Carolina, will
miss at least two games. In last week's loss to Boise State,
Georgia lost starter Alec Ogletree for four to six weeks with a
broken foot.
Robinson and Ogletree began the season as a starting inside
Georgia is thin at linebacker. Freshman Amarlo Herrera started
at Ogletree's spot. Options to replace Robinson include Jeremy
Sulek, a senior walk-on, and junior Mike Gillard.
Georgia -- 0-2 for the first time since 1996, when it finished
5-6 -- plays Coastal Carolina this week.

This Sunday is one of the biggest days in all of sports: The Super Bowl. Pitting the New York Giants against the New England Patriots in a near-identical rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl, the fan rivalries are heating up. Surely Tom Brady will be looking for revenge after his perfect season was ended by the Giants in the Super Bowl four years ago. As the nation prepares for the showdown of the season, here's a look back at the long and proud partnership between the USO and the NFL. In 1965, then-Commissioner Pete Rozelle was looking for a way to demonstrate the NFL's support for United States servicemen and women in Vietnam. He conceived the idea of sending NFL players to Vietnam on "goodwill tours" to visit and inspire the troops. After partnering with the USO they became the first sports organization to send a group of players to Vietnam. From 1966 to 1973, NFL players visited remote firebases, aircraft carriers, and other installations in Vietnam, Guam, Thailand, and Japan. Since then, active and retired NFL players and coaches have lifted the spirits of America's troops by participating in countless USO tours in places like Somalia, Bosnia, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.
More recently, since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, the NFL, with the help of the USO, has sent many players and coaches to the Middle East. Commissioner Roger Goodell became the first sports commissioner to visit troops overseas when he toured Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008 with Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants. In 2005, the NFL and USO again teamed up to preserve the legacy of Pat Tillman, a former Arizona Cardinal and Army Ranger killed in action in 2004, by constructing a USO center in his honor. Former New England Patriot and current New York Giants Assistant Special Teams Coach Larry Izzo traveled to Afghanistan to take part in the grand opening of the Pat Tillman USO Center at Bagram Air Base. No matter who comes out as this weekend's victor, remember the men and women sporting America's camouflaged away uniforms. The USO is proud of their long history with the NFL and is grateful for the opportunity to better lift the spirits of America's troops and families. Who do you think we should send next? - Joseph P. Scannell, USO New Media Intern

Víctor José Davalillo Romero [da-va-LEE-yo] (July 31, 1936 in Cabimas, Zulia), is a former Venezuelan professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as an outfielder for the Cleveland Indians (1963-68), California Angels (1968-69), St. Louis Cardinals (1969-70), Pittsburgh Pirates (1971-73), Oakland Athletics (1973-74) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1977-80). Davalillo batted and threw left-handed. He was a leadoff hitter known for his speedy baserunning and capable defensive ability. Later in his career, he became a valuable utility player and a record-setting pinch hitter.
Davalillo grew up in Venezuela's oil producing region on the eastern shores of Lake Maracaibo. His older brother, Pompeyo Davalillo played briefly for the Washington Senators in 1953. Davalillo began his professional baseball career as a pitcher when he signed a contract as an amateur free agent with the Cinncinnati Reds in 1958. He was sold to the Indians organisation in 1961 where he quickly moved up the ladder to their Triple-A club in Jacksonville. Davalillo won the first batting title in the Jacksonville Suns history with a .346 batting average in 1962.
Cleveland Indians
Davalillo became the eighth Venezuelan to play in Major League Baseball when he joined the Indians in 1963 as their leadoff hitter and center fielder. By mid-June, he was hitting for a .304 batting average and was receiving consideration for the American League Rookie of the Year Award when, he was hit by a pitch by Hank Aguirre and suffered a broken wrist. He returned from the injury to lead the Indians in hitting with a .292 along with a career-high 7 home runs in 90 games however, after the injury, he was never the same hitter against left handed pitching. In October, he was named to the 1963 Topps All-Star Rookie Team. The following season, Davalillo finished second in the league in fielding percentage among center fielders and was named as a recipient of the 1964 American League Gold Glove Award.
In 1965, Davalillo led the league in batting at mid-season with a .345 batting average, earning him a place as the starting center fielder for the American League team in the 1965 All-Star Game. He ended the 1965 season with a .301 batting average, third-best in the American League behind Tony Oliva and Carl Yastrzemski, the only other players to break the .300 mark that year. Davalillo had an off year in 1966 and, the Indians began to use him in a platoon role, playing him when they faced right handed pitchers. In 1967, he hit for a .302 average against right handed pitchers but, only managed a .188 average against left handers, for a .287 average overall.
California Angels
Davalillo had dipped to a .239 average on June 15, 1968 when, the Indians traded him to the California Angels for former All-Star Jimmie Hall. He rebounded to lead the Angels with a .298 batting average after the trade, finishing the season with a .277 average overall, the sixth highest average in the American League. In an era dominated by pitching, Yastrzemski was the only player in the American League to hit for an average higher than .300 in 1968.
St. Louis Cardinals
In January 1969, Davalillo suffered a nervous breakdown while he was in Venezuela to play in the Venezuelan Winter League. He began the 1969 season hitting for only a .155 average in 33 games and on May 30, he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for Jim Hicks. In his first National League at bat on June 1, 1969, Davalillo hit a three-run home run. He also made two appearances as a relief pitcher for the Cardinals in 1969 but, failed to retire any batters. Davalillo became a utility player and highly effective pinch hitter with the Cardinals in 1970. His 24 pinch hits in 1970 broke the National League single-season record for pinch hits at the time, and tied the Major League record set by Dave Philley in 1961. One of the previous National League record holders was also his manager in 1970: Red Schoendienst. Davalillo ended the season with a .311 average and 33 runs batted in.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Cardinals traded Davalillo along with Nelson Briles to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Matty Alou and George Brunet in January 1971. Following the 1970 National League Championship Series, Joe L. Brown and Danny Murtaugh decided both Al Oliver and Bob Robertson needed to be in the lineup everyday, making Matty Alou, their .300 hitting centerfielder, expendable. The two realized they needed to add to the pitching staff and would also need to add someone who could back up the regulars since the two young hitters would now be playing regularly. Just prior to spring training, Brown traded his former batting champion to the Cardinals for Nellie Briles, a right-handed pitcher with a winning track record, and Vic Davalillo, an outfielder with many of the same skills as Alou, but not as much consistency.
Davalillo had been a gold glove centerfielder with Cleveland in 1964 and an All-Star in '65. While his skills never progressed as had been hoped by the Indians, he had become one the premiere reserve players in baseball and in 1970 had tied the major league record with 24 pinch hits. The lefty batter was a slap hitter, but Davalillo could occasionally turn on the ball and among his pinch-hits in '70 were a record eight doubles and three triples. He could still run, especially down the line and was an excellent drag bunter, even though he batted with an exaggeratedly high leg kick, perhaps the most noted since Giants' great, Mel Ott.
The Venezuelan performed his role expertly in the Pirates' pennant drive of 1971. He was the team's number one pinch hitter, batting .333 in that role and .285 overall and he stole 10 bases while going to bat 295 times. Vic also contributed a pinch-hit in the World Series, but Frank Robinson took advantage of his arm to set up and score the decisive run in Game 6.
When Robertson didn't hit in 1972 and Stargell's knees forced him to first base, Davalillo platooned in leftfield with Gene Clines. His average skyrocketed to .360 before cooling off to .318, still one of the highest marks in the National League, although Davalillo did not have enough at bats to qualify for the title. The veteran also led the club with 14 stolen bases. Bill Virdon decided to play Rennie Stennett in left, however, during the NLCS and although there was an opening in the Pirates outfield following Roberto Clemente's death on New Year's Eve, the manager made it known early he preferred to keep Davalillo as his ace off the bench, given his proven success as a pinch hitter.
Oakland Athletics
Davalillo got off to a poor start in '73 and was hitting only .181 when the Pirates, in order to keep phenom Dave Parker on the roster for the pennant stretch, released him. He caught on with Oakland and while he did not hit much better the rest of the year, Davalillo enjoyed an excellent ALCS, going five for eight and contributing a key triple in the decisive game. After a poor start in 1974, the A's also released him. Davalillo, at least officially nearing 35 years of age (some said he was older), decided he still had baseball in his blood and signed to play in the Mexican League.
Los Angeles Dodgers
In 1977, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought him back to the majors after he challenged .400 south of the border that season. The 5'7" speedster helped LA to two strait World Series, batting .313 and .312, appearing mostly as a pinch hitter. After that, Davalillo bounced back and forth between Los Angeles and Mexico through 1980 when he last appeared in the majors, but he continued to play professionally in Latin America for a few years after that.
Former Pirate catcher and coach remembered Davalillo well. "He had to have more hits in professional baseball than any other player," Leppert said. "He was playing in the minors when I broke in the 50's and I managed him in Winter Ball in 1983. He played winter ball every year. He was some kind of hitter."
Leppert also remembered Davalillo enjoyed the nightlife. It is said that once while playing for St. Louis, Davalillo was recovering from an all night party when his manager, Red Schoendienst, against the advice of a coach who had seen the condition Davalillo was in, sent him up to pinch-hit. Davalillo went into his high leg kick and landed on his backside. Schoendienst then sent up another hitter.
Davalillo, though, is still a cagey individual when it comes to baseball. A few years ago he pointed out that a ball he had been asked to sign had been left outside by the fact that it weighed more than another he had been handed.
Career statistics
In a 16 year career, Davalillo played in 1,458 games, accumulating 1,122 hits in 4,017 at bats for a .279 career batting average along with 36 home runs, 329 runs batted in, 509 runs, 160 doubles, 37 triples, and 125 stolen bases. He finished his career with a .984 fielding percentage, ranking him 49th among major league center fielders since 1954.
Davalillo's record for pinch hits in a season was broken in 1976 by José Morales. He was a fan favorite during his years with the Indians, and became a valuable role player later in his career. Davalillo played in four World Series and was the first major league player to play for three different teams in the League Championship Series (Pittsburgh Pirates in 1971-1972, Oakland Athletics in 1973 and the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1977).
Between 1957 and 1987, Davalillo played in the Venezuelan Winter League for the Leones del Caracas (1957–74, 1987), Portuguesa (1975) and Tigres de Aragua (1976–85). He set lifetime league records that still stand in batting average (.325), hits (1505), games played (1280), at-bat (4633), runs (668), doubles (196) and career seasons (30). Beside this, he won two batting titles and set record in hits (100) in a season. Davalillo retired at 50 years of age.
Davalillo was inducted into the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003.

It's so beautiful how you work with lights! They are the magical part of your pictures. Amazing! I never seen someone taking these kinds of photoes before! I like them so much! *w* >w<
Ahhhhh This is too awesome
It's beautiful!
Awesome work!
Actually, all of these shots are soooooo nice! did you use a filter by any chance?
What do you mean with filter? I edit all my photos in Lightroom if that's what you mean. I tweak the colors, contrast, levels etc. etc.
This work has been featured on #devPREMIUM's Architecture, Urban and Rural Spotlight Vol. 41!
Best regards!
Best regards!
Wow, it glows so brightly it's almost like fire.
I love you light photos so much!!
Ooh, lovely!
Where was this taken?

Good shot.
Very nice shot. The contrasting colors really stand out in the gallery collection. This is a unique and original concept as many photos on dA are taken at day or with more colors than your photos.
Very nice.
Love it!
Very cool shot, VIVID colors, love it!
I always feel connected with your pics,...the trees, the colors, the scene....wonderful!

How many of our young adults are we burying as the result of binge drinking where they are not behind the wheel when they die? They are in their college dorms, at parties and in bars literally drinking themselves to death.
We are not addressing the real issue of problem drinking. Ironically we label sexual offenders for life restricting where they can live. We do nothing to restrict the chronic alcoholic. In only a handful of areas are there even restrictions to not sell booze on Sundays to give it a rest. Almost all states have no limit on the number of cases of beers and bottles of booze someone can buy. We are selling booze everywhere. On planes, in grocery and drug stores, on college grounds, next to high schools, near our workplaces and in bars on every corner.
Take the challenge for yourself to find areas to live in on wages most earn free of alcohol and find things to do where alcohol is not served.
The chronic alcoholic has nowhere to go to get away from the alcohol. Drunk driving laws are a feel good band aid covering up for that fact.

Smoking Cessation Health Center
The Romance of a Good Smoke
The stories Rohrbaugh's team has heard so far from couples (whose names have been changed here) in the university-funded pilot study bear out their hunches.
There's Mary, a long-term smoker, who says she heads to the back porch, cigarettes in hand, when she wants to be alone. Her solo smoking is a clear signal to her partner that she needs her space.
There's Joe and Evelyn, who light up every morning, sitting in the garage on their favorite lawn chairs. It's their time to talk, Evelyn says, adding, "If we didn't smoke in the garage, I doubt we'd talk much -- and he wouldn't even miss me."
And there's Ann, who says she talks better when she has a cigarette in her hand. She always smokes when she and her husband, Harry, argue. When Rohrbaugh's team observed this couple in the lab, using one-way mirrors, the couple spoke more softly to each other, and more intimately, when they were smoking.
How the program begins
In the first of 10 counseling sessions, spread over three to six months, the team assesses how, and to what extent, smoking fits into a couple's relationship. Is smoking seen as an ally, an invader, or both?
Drawing on medical literature that has studied problem drinkers and how they interact in an intimate relationship, Rohrbaugh's team notes that researchers find drinking can be "a kind of lubricant that promotes positive relationship stability, at least in the short run." Smoking, he says, sometimes serves the same function.
The relationship dynamics are different, the Arizona researchers have found, if only one partner smokes. With two smokers, they have found, smoking serves functions not just for the individual (stress reduction, boredom relief) but can be "the glue that holds the relationship together."
When both partners smoke, Rohrbaugh has found, they can have a mentality of "It's us against the world," especially as fewer Americans smoke. About 28% of the U.S. population, age 12 and older, smoked in 1998, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
On the other hand, when just one partner smokes, the habit can become a source of tension, with the nonsmoker nagging the other to quit, and the smoker defiantly refusing.

Ramp work expected this weekend at I-70 and I-435
August 19, 2010
Road projects scheduled for this weekend could cause some headaches for drivers at one of the busiest interstate highway interchanges in Wyandotte County.
The Kansas Department of Transportation says that, weather permitting, on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 20-21, traffic changes are scheduled to occur on the Interstate 70 reconstruction project in Kansas City, Kan.
On Friday, ramps from northbound Interstate 435 to westbound I-70 and from westbound I-70 to southbound I-435 will be closed for milling work. The ramp closures will begin about 9 a.m. and are scheduled to reopen to all traffic at 3:30 p.m. Friday.
Late Saturday evening, the ramp from westbound I-70 to northbound I-435 will be reopened to all traffic.
While the milling work on the ramps is taking place, drivers should expect minor delays and must use alternate routes. No marked detours will be provided.
The entire I-70 reconstruction project is scheduled to be completed by Saturday, Aug. 28, weather permitting.

I was having trouble installing irssi (
brew install irssi), so I ran
brew doctor, which returned a warning mentioning an outdated copy of Xcode and saying I should run
/Developer/Library/uninstall-developer-folder. Then I ran
brew doctor again and got:
Error: No such file or directory - /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
How do I reinstall the SDK, or is there another way to get Homebrew working again?
(I have the latest version of Homebrew (0.9.3), the latest version of Xcode (4.4.1), and the latest version of the Xcode CLT (though I'm not sure how to find this version number).)
/Developer actually still exists (despite the obvious implication of
uninstall-developer-folder), as does
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk. Why does Homebrew specifically need Snow Leopard's SDK?

New jobs to aid discipline
School board considers adding 7 new administrative positions
Schools Chief Academic Officer Anne Marie Cullinan said these "supervisors of student affairs" are needed as part of the district's far-reaching reform plans. These supervisors, Cullinan said, will allow vice principals and principals to concentrate more on curriculum and instruction.
Funding for these jobs comes from the state, as part of a $4.4 million grant given Waterbury to help with its struggling schools. Waterbury is one of 30 of the state's lowest achieving school districts — termed "Alliance Districts" — to whom extra state assistance is available this year.
Violent and other serious offenses will still require some attention from building principals, in coordination with the supervisors, Cullinan said. But the supervisors will be able to deal with lower tier offenses, like dress code violations and tardiness.
These supervisors would also take on the responsibility of organizing proactive school climate and discipline efforts, trying to promote good behavior and calm tense situations before they become problems.
Supervisors would be stationed at the district's three big middle schools and three comprehensive high schools. Waterbury Arts Magnet School and the district's pre-kindergarten through eighth grade schools would share a "floating" supervisor.
Board of Education member Jason Van Stone questioned the wisdom of taking on about $600,000 in new expenses at a time the district and state are facing serious financial challenges.
A roughly $300,000 deficit for Waterbury schools and the likelihood of serious cuts in state funding were discussed at other points during Thursday's school board meeting.
School Superintendent Kathleen Ouellette said she's working on a study of staff efficiency, and believes that even if the state were to pull back on education funding, the district could make cuts elsewhere to fund these jobs.
Ouellette said that true change in the schools requires building vice principals and principals to spend more time in the classrooms, observing lessons, and providing feedback and support to staff.
"We are not getting that accomplished, not with the referrals I see coming in on a day-to-day basis," Ouellette said.
The proposed job specification would require an administrative certification from the state and seven years of teaching, along with a "good" knowledge of behavioral strategies and techniques. Experience in an urban district or multicultural environment is preferred.
These jobs would be put on the same salary scale as the district's supervising vice principals — which currently range between $85,376 to $104,968. School Personnel Director Ron Frost said he would begin seeking out candidates as soon as the jobs are approved.
A vote is expected at the board's Dec. 6 meeting at Waterbury Arts Magnet School.

Let's not forget that a whole new high school is going to open next year.

And shouldn't supervising construction be the responsibility of, oh, I dunno, whoever has been in charge of supervising the construction of the building? Oh, and speaking of staffing, we're going to need to get all new teachers, paras, secretarial staff, etc. That's gotta add at least another million.
Oh, and let's not forget that extreme makeover on the Superintendent's office. What, exactly, was in the rugs of the office that she was allergic to? Did prior occupants of that office keep cats or dogs there overnight and forget to let them out? Massive smoking parties? If it was just the dust, couldn't they just have found a carpet shampooer somewhere and steam-cleaned it? That's what I do!
Meanwhile, on the bottom of the totem pole, I'm teaching with textbooks that are 20 to 25 years old, supplies that are broken or have been salvaged, a computer that is 10 years old and running on Windows ME, and supplementary materials that I have to purchase on my own for activities mandated by the curriculum, but yet I can't get reimbursed for.
All because there's no money for that.

Why is this Board rubber stamping this superintendent's outrageous demands. WAKE UP TAXPAYERS AND Rep-AM! "

I found it easy to work with the faculty who recognized the need for the services, and they eagerly made referrals, but I found it impossible to work with most administrators and really get anything worthwhile integrated. While the purpose of the program was sound it was my opinion at the time that the program was at cross-purposes with "the agendas" of others in the system, and so you can imagine how frustrating it was not just for me but the other professionals who serviced other schools. Many in the community know exactly what I am getting at here.
A lot of people in this community have with held breaths and crossed-fingers been waiting for the answers to the following questions: 1: Will Dr. Oullette be able to accurately assess what is really going on in this school system, and 2: does she possess the ability to direct this department towards excellence?
In my opinion, the fact that that the current leadership is seriously considering the initiative reported on in this news piece serves as the unfortunate answer to #1, which is "No". Building more layers into the system has failed in the past, is currently failing, and will continue to fail. And, we can not afford it.
How Dr. Oullette listens now will go a long way towards answering #2. "

Take a look in the schools....parent liasons that have become secretaries in most schools. psychologists in most schools, VPs and principals. Just the other day an article on tutors, and mentors
and of course the all important Resource Officers. That alone is at least 16 million in payroll. Add the supervisors and advisers now to go with the Super's cabinet and that is another3 mill. So about 20 million for paper pushers before you get to the students and teachers.
So mayor, pull up your big boy pants and do what you say.
Hiring and budget freezes are absolutely neccessay if in the long run Waterbury is to make progress. "

It's frustrating as a taxpayer to see this waste of money without positive results. I can only imagine how it is for you teachers. You get none of the benefit of the wasted money and all the blame of the student failure. About the only choices you have are find a job teaching in a private school for less money or either put the blinders on and do your time til retirement. "

Arts And Then There Was One
posted by December 7 at 12:37 PMon
So I'm down here in the art capital of the world this weekend, Miami, and I'm walking through Museum of Contemporary Art Miami's Goldman warehouse space, where the show Artificial Light is up, when I realize the guards seem skittish. (This is about five minutes ago; I'm writing now sitting on the curb outside.)
I turn and see blue tape across the doorway into the piece I'm approaching. It's supposed to be a pitch-black room in which the only light is the purple neon of Chilean artist Iván Navarro's Black Electric Chairstwo chairs made entirely of neon tubing that reference utopic modernist design (they're based on the Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer) and punishment.
But instead I meet a guy standing just inside the tape, waiting for a trash can to be wheeled his way.
Because minutes before, an old lady tried sitting in one of the chairs. It shattered (maybe she did, too? she was nowhere to be found by the time I got there). When the man turned on the light before the doorway was boarded up, the piece lay in pieces on the black carpet next to the other chair.
A MOCA employee in a black cocktail dress began berating a guard who sounded like he was from an African country. He said he was doing his best.
"We're dealing with the situation," said the woman at the desk, and diverted me to MOCA's other location, where the Bruce Nauman show is up that's coming to the Henry next month.
Funny aside: yesterday at the main fair, Art Basel Miami Beach, I saw one of Craig Kauffman's orange transparent vacuum-formed wall piecesthe same piece (though a different one) that mysteriously broke earlier this year at the Pompidou. And you think your work is safe in a museum …
I wish I'd been able to ask the old woman who sat in the chair what she was thinking. Was she hurt? What's her take on the piece now? Punishment, indeed. I imagine she thought the artist intended her to sit, even though the piece is overwhelmingly visualthe neon refuses to come into focus, recommending the chair to the eye rather than the body.
Then again: You have no idea what our feet are dealing with here. There are miles and miles and miles of galleries and art to see. This accidental vandalism constitutes the protest of an exhausted fairgoer! Who knew Pinochet and Art Basel Miami Beach would come together this way?
Poor MOCA. The showjust opened this morning, and its breakout piece is Growth (Survival) (2006) by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla. It's a staghorn fern hanging in the middle of a dark room, relying for light on a row of ladders of lit messages by Jenny Holzer. Not only is it a terrific spectacle and a touching piece of work, it got me thinking it might spawn a whole new genre of recombinant artart where artists use whole pre-existing works to create new work. I don't mean reproductions or collaborations or really even refashionings. I mean original works with original works, aura y aura. A real response from the art world to mashups.
I realize that those of you in Seattle can't see Artificial Light today. But as blogger Tyler Green has pointed out, it's basically the same show as Into Black at Western Bridge in Seattle, so head on down there. (Call first; the director is here, so I don't know about open hours.)
And now for more art …

Elizabeth Reed, KOB.com
University of New Mexico police have sent their completed investigation into the alleged rape of a student to the Bernalillo County district attorney's office.
Back in April, a woman accused two Lobo football players, SaQwan Edwards and Crusoe Gongbay, and Central New Mexico student Ryan Ruff of raping her in a blue BMW.
Her attorney later said she believed she was drugged.
The district attorney ended up dropping the charges against all three of the suspects while police were still investigating the case.
However, the district attorney's office says the charges could still possibly be refiled at any time.

One the biggest drivers of user contribution to Wikipedia is clear mission statement they have. I have actually not read it and I am writing this blog in a airplane, but as a user and contributor to Wikipedia I have somehow got the message.
"Create a comprehensive and accurate free encyclopedia in 10 years."
Why Wikipedia has 10K+ active contributors?
Passionate contributors: They feel that they are participating in something that outlast their lives. When you add something there you are reasonable assured that it will outlive you. It is a way making history.
Large pool of authors: Everyone is a an expert. Everyone has something they are good at and want to pass that along. As individuals they may not be so smart but as a collective they are a genius.
Low barrier to entry to the author pool: The wiki collects and aggregates micro contribution for every users: In a successful and well maintained wiki you, as a contributor add what you can. You can forget about spelling grammar or style, if you have content and what to add it you can just dump it in. There will be others who clean it up and format it. If you are not an expert in a subject then you can contribute by simply formatting and editing. Just consuming the content is also a form of contribution. Page view statistics help authors focus their effort on a subset of content.

Really good. I used a mix of kidney, white beans and black eyed peas to cook up my ham hock from the holiday dinner. Had quite a bit more beans than the recipe called for so just added more spices as it cooked. Left it simmering for a good 3 hours to get a good well cook pot of soup. Lots of leftovers for the freezer!
Excellent recipe - I made it stovetop then left it in the crockpot for the fam while I went to work. I had leftovers the next day - yumm! I'll admit I was nervous adding so much lemon juice but it works! I had a wicked meaty ham hock that provided about 2c chopped ham. When I put it in the crockpot, I added a few fistfuls of baby spinach which were EH as leftovers but they tell me it was a nice addition 1st time around. Made for PAC orphanage 5/10.

New Body or new Lens?
First, thanks to all for the input! But, we're getting a little off topic. I'll try to address as much as i can...
Reasons to shift towards FX:
-I love my 85mm, but 127 (DX) is a little tight. I find that I am just slightly out of comfortable talking distance to fit more then one person in the frame. It works fine, but i think a true 85 would be better.
-I currently have the 35mm to approximate the 50mm, so i could get rid of the 35...
-I've used the 24-70 alot and i love it on my camera but i think an actual 24-70 (not 36-105) would be extremely useful for protaits and group shots, especially in small churches.
-If i get the 24-70 (and get rid of the 35mm) i'd have just as many DX lenses as i do FX. I plan on getting the 70-200 as well (i've also used that extensively and love it for ceremony shots while they're at the alter).
-I was under the impression that the D600 was a much better camera then the D7000, not just an FX version.
Either way i'm keeping my D7000. I need a second body. So, i think getting a full frame as my primary would make sense and give me more options. I suppose i could save a little longer and go for somthing like the D800, but i think that might be a little exessive...
As for flash (we're really getting off topic here) i have the SB700 and i think its fine. I only use it for fill and i've got other flashes off camera (bouncing, kicking, screaming, etc...) so i'm fine with its power. I use cheap manual flashes off camera.
As for 3rd party lenses, i've decided that i'm going Nikon or nothing. I've used the sigma 70-200 and dont think its nearly as good as Nikon's... I know others feel different.
I'm still leaning toward the 24-70 over the body. I'd rent another D7k since i already own one an know it. I would rent the D600 before i rented the D300s...
Thanks again for the input!
