NEW YORK — Brandon Mobley sat at the far corner of the locker room, listening to his head coach and the team's seniors eulogize the season. Seton Hall was minutes removed from an 80-74 loss in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament, a place it was never supposed to be, feeling something that it didn't quite know how to process. Mobley, the junior forward, then began thinking about the future.
"I was thinking that, a year from now, this is going to be my last time taking off a Seton Hall uniform," he said in a private moment later. "You put yourself in their shoes. I can remember when I just met Fuquan (Edwin). He was just a freshman. And now he's just played his last game. Time flies by quick."
It does.
One minute, you're the Cinderella story at Madison Square Garden, 80 minutes from an unlikely NCAA Tournament appearance. The next, you're walking through the handshake line, your career over. So in the locker room after the loss to Providence on Friday night, Pirates head coach Kevin Willard was unsure of what to make of his the-season-is-over speech.
There was sadness, yes. But this was a game the Pirates were never supposed to have played in. They weren't supposed to beat Butler. They weren't supposed to stun top-seeded Villanova on a buzzer-beater. They weren't supposed to play for the program's first appearance in the conference championship game since 1993. Willard's talk was less of an emotional sendoff, as it was proper thank you to his team's four seniors and three memorable days on Broadway.
"When you spend time and you see these guys grow — not only as players, but as men — it's a little different feeling," an emotional Willard said after. "I can't explain the feeling. I don't know if it's a proud feeling, a sad feeling. It's just a much different feeling than when you take over a program."
They all wanted the dramatic ending. The one the Friars (22-11) will get a chance to have instead of Seton Hall (17-17).
But those shots that fell in the final minutes of the win over the Wildcats the day before, bounced off the back rim. Came up short on the front end. Rattled in and out. Each miss becoming more deflating than the next and taxing the Pirates, who were already weary from trying to contain all-league player, Bryce Cotton — who still finished with 18 points.
And then when Friars forward LaDontae Henton continually pounded the Pirates with 26 points and 14 rebounds, it proved to be a hill too big to climb. Even when Seton Hall mounted a last-ditch comeback effort in the game's final 60 seconds, there simply was not enough left for one more miracle.
"I'm very sad," said Edwin, who led the Pirates with 20 points. "I wish we could have pulled through with the win. It would have been good playing in the championship game. I just want to give credit to our effort. I think we battled hard."
The reflective tone inside the Pirates locker room was a different one from seasons past. Players who will be a part of the roster next season — Mobley, Patrik Auda, Sterling Gibbs, Jaren Sina — studied the way Seton Hall's seniors took a seemingly lost season and put a different spin on it over the course of 50 hours in the big city. And what they can do to pick up where the Pirates left off this week.
"This week, I think it was a success," Gibbs said. "At the same time, we believed that we were going to go further. We came into this tournament believing that we were going to win, no matter what. Everyone else was against us and we were together. I think it's tough, because if you look back at the season — if we had a couple of more wins that we should've gotten — we could've been in a different position."
Next year's upperclassmen took that message to heart after this season came to a close. Every player in the Pirates locker room felt that this week at the Big East Tournament was a success. But not because of the wins or the everlasting moments.
But for the notion that the final game is final. And that nothing should be taken for granted.
"We didn't complete our goal of what we were trying to get," Edwin said. "But I think we definitely left an imprint here. We tried. We tried our best. We regret nothing, just knowing that we left it all out there."

At the once-bustling Trailwood mobile home park in North Charleston today, Sheila Major and a friend of hers were working with the tools they had on hand to remove a tree that was in the way of relocating her home.
The size of the tree spoke to how long Major has lived there — 28 years — because she planted the tree herself. Her children were little then, too, but are all since grown, graduated from college, and off in the working world.
Major is among the last of the residents who had not moved out of Trailwood by the May 1 deadline they had been given. Dozens of trailers remain at the park, which once was home to more than 400.
"It's been stressful," major said. "It's hard to see friends you've known for 20 years leaving."
Some have struggled with the cost of relocating a mobile home, which can be thousands of dollars.
Plans to sell the 105-acre mobile home park site, not far from Boeing's aircraft assembly plant and the Tanger Outlets mall, have been known for about a year. The buyers, operating as Palmetto Land and Sea LLC, are considering building a hotel, offices and stores on the property, which is expected to have a direct connection to a planned rebuilding of Michaux Parkway.
Major said she'll relocate her home to a piece of land she bought on Johns Island.

Mike Pelfrey had his longest outing since last August, throwing 7 2/3 innings as the Mets beat the Giants 5-2 at Citi Field on Thursday.
Pelfrey, who has struggled for the most part this season, threw 78 of 116 pitches for strikes, writes The Star-Ledger's Zach Berman in the game story.
Manager Terry Collins said Pelfrey looked "more relaxed."
NJ.com users commenting on the game enjoyed the Mets' win, and Kingman 26 points out an interesting statistical split of Pelfrey's season:
Hey kids--
Something crazy about Pelf that could be relevant in a good way---this year, he has gotten shelled four times---and all four of these games were on the road against NL East teams. Apparently, over his entire career he has gotten creamed on the road in the division. He's 0-2 with a 10.91 ERA on the road (in PHIL, ATL, and FLA) and 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA at home in 3 starts.
Insane yes, another sign of mental weakness maybe, but also a possible indicator that he may still have a decent season -- they have one series in ATL in June, and that's it on the road in the division in the first half.
Does this comment, along with Pelfrey's great start Thursday, ease some of the fears that Pelfrey could have a bad year? Respond in the comments section of the Star-Ledger story.

Roman Catholic bishops in Missouri are urging voters to approve a state constitutional amendment in favor of public prayer.
The proposed "right to pray" amendment to the state's constitution would allow residents to pray in public as long as it does not disturb the peace.
The measure also says students may express their religious beliefs in school and cannot be compelled to participate in assignments that violate those beliefs.
The bishops say the amendment is needed because religious values are increasingly "becoming marginalized in our society."
A statewide ballot vote is set for Aug. 7.

O'Malley Shows Us His Shiny New Tax Brackets
|Email Print
Much thanks to Steve for this article, where Gov. O'Malley actually details the new tax brackets under his proposal. The current state income tax is 4.75% per person, to give you a point of reference, and so the new tax brackets would make it more of a progressive (more you earn, the more you pay) similar to the federal income tax. The brackets are:
Married (Dual Income):
Marriage penalty, a feature seen with the federal income tax, now gets to be introduced with the state if this get passed. The marriage penalty is the fact that you have to pay more tax as a married couple than if you were two single filers, something that I think makes absolutely no sense (it only makes sense to the people writing the checks drawing from the account our extra taxes go into).
Breakeven point at $165,000 for singles, $218,000 for married. Under the new plan, you would pay approximately $7,832.50 in taxes under the new plan and $7,837.50 under the existing tax structure as a Single. For all you married folks out there, at $218,000 combined income you'd be paying $10,351.25 under the new scheme and $10,355 under the existing tax structure. Those over the breakeven point will pay more and those underneath it would be paying less in terms of taxes. (please check my math!)
One of the other proposals that seems to bother people a lot is the introduction of slot machines. I don't see the harm in that, especially all the revenue it would generate, but I haven't looked into it in great detail. Ultimately, it's just opening up a new revenue stream that the state can then spend irresponsibly.
What do you all think of this? Bear in mind that in Maryland we also have county taxes and those are around 3%, so before anyone claims we have low taxes, take those into account too.{ 6 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The Global Islamic Media Front, a long-time "umbrella" propaganda organization for Islamic extremists, has released a propaganda video announcing the establishment of the "Islamic State of Iraq."
The Arabic language video - the latest in a series of online videos called Sout Al Khilafa (Arabic for "Voice of the Caliphate") - was released on November 6, 2006, and posted to a blog called the "Caliphate Voice Channel." This video, modeled after standard newscasts, includes versions with English, French and German subtitles.
After a long introductory sequence, an announcer with his face obscured and voice altered appears in the video in front of a computer-generated setting resembling a newsroom. The announcer claims the Mujahideen Shura Council, created by Al Qaeda in Iraq and five of the country's other terrorist groups in January 2006 to unify their efforts and coordinate attacks, has announced the establishment of the "Islamic State of Iraq," where Shariah law will prevail and serve to protect the Sunni people in Iraq.
A series of images appear on one side of the screen, including: video footage of white-robed jihadists riding motorcycles and leading a procession of vehicles through the Iraqi city Ramadi; photos of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the man identified by Coalition forces as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, the current leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq; and clips of various attacks.
The announcer comments on Iraq's unique geographical location, calling it a starting point "for the Islamic nation['s] fighters in the battle to liberate Palestine from the Zionist entity." The video then ends with clips from older Al Qaeda videos, including footage of Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan before the September 11 terrorist attacks.

WRI, ICLEI, C40 Invite Cities to Pilot New GHG Inventory Protocol
5 March 2013: Cities around the world have been invited to pilot test the new "Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emissions (GPC)," which aims to establish a single, accepted, consistent and comprehensive global framework for preparing and reporting city greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. The Protocol is a joint-initiative of the World Resources Institute (WRI), Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), and the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.
The purpose of the Protocol is to develop and implement a global framework needed to build effective low-carbon strategies, track GHG reductions, respond to GHG regulations and local GHG programme requirements, and secure climate finance.
The Protocol's unified framework is designed to overcome the limitations that result from the lack of common standards in the methodologies currently in use in cities around the world. Such limitations include: inconsistent GHGs and emission sources; incomplete inventories resulting from the exclusion of non-carbon dioxide GHGs covered under the Kyoto Protocol; and double-counting GHGs and emission sources due to unclear categorizations and divisions of direct and indirect emissions.
The pilot phase of the Protocol, which runs from March through September 2013, targets cities that have conducted inventories using other methodologies, and cities that intend to undertake an inventory process in 2013. The application deadline for cities wishing to participate in the pilot phase of the Protocol is 15 March 2013.
The UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Bank and the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) welcomed the launch of the pilot version of the Global Protocol for Community-scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions, designed to harmonize the emissions measurement and greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting process for cities, when it was launched in May 2012.

Seoul Opens K-Pop's 'Abbey Road'
A note to K-pop fans around the world: Gangnam might become a little more relevant to you.
The District Office of Gangnam, which gained international recognition following Psy's sensational hit "Gangnam Style" is setting its eye on creating the "Abbey Road of Korea," where K-pop fans can connect with their stars by visiting the newly-opened "K Star Road."
On Wednesday, the office held an event to mark the opening of the K-pop themed road, the first stage of a long-term project to attract foreign visitors by turning the neighborhood into a more tourist-friendly destination. Before "Gangnam Style" came along, the area's appeal had been largely limited to shopping for luxury goods, unlike other parts of the city with their historic buildings and traditional markets.
Considering most Korean entertainment companies are located within the district, the office has mapped out the 1.08km-long street around two major entertainment firms – SM Entertainment and Cube Entertainment. SM, the country's biggest management agency, produces EXO, Girls' Generation, and SHINee. BEAST and 4 Minute are managed by Cube.
Along the road, fans can visit a total of 48 restaurants and shops, marked on a tourist guide map as a frequently-visited by K-pop idols.
The event drew a huge crowd on Wednesday afternoon as many celebrities including SHINee, EXO and CNBLUE, sporting unusual suit-and-tie, appeared alongside lawmakers and city officials.
The office said more than half of 10 million foreign tourists to Seoul last year also visited Gangnam. To make the neighborhood a must-see tourist destination, it will create more relevant attractions such as a K-pop-related exhibition and a detailed tour program.
Not interested in K-pop? Don't worry. There's more in the pipeline: K Fashion Road, K Beauty Road, K Riverside Road and K Gourmet Road.

APWA President joins release of California infrastructure grades
Becky Wickstrom
Manager of Media Affairs
APWA Washington Office
During a press conference in September, APWA President Bill Verkest joined local members and leaders from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) to release an assessment of California's infrastructure. Like the 2005 National Infrastructure Report Card, the 2006 Report Card for California's Infrastructure highlights the need for renewed investment in and attention to the state's crumbling and overburdened infrastructure systems necessary to maintain California's economic competitiveness and a positive quality of life in local communities.
Overall, California's infrastructure received a C- and the report card identified an annual investment need of $37 billion required to raise the grade to a B. Nine areas of critical infrastructure were assessed:
"In California we are falling behind in the maintenance and upgrades of our roads and transit systems, utilities, drinking water and wastewater systems," said Verkest during the press conference. "These vital services often go unnoticed until disaster strikes or until they fail beyond repair. We must reinvest in public works infrastructure."
|Pictured from left to right: Mike Kincaid, Co-chair of the California Infrastructure Report Card (CAIRC) Committee; Bill Verkest, APWA President; Dennis Martenson, 2005/06 ASCE National President; Bob Bein, 2000 ASCE National President; Yazdan Emrani, Co-chair of the CAIRC Committee; and Joyce Copeland, President of ASCE Sacramento Section.
The report card findings are intended to remind citizens and civic leaders in California that investments need to be made and improvements must continue for job growth and a strong economy. As infrastructure ages and population continues to grow, adequate investment will become even more essential.
"The single biggest challenge we have as public works professionals is sustaining infrastructure performance—maintaining what we have in service while we plan for renewal, replacement and expansion of our critical facilities, plants and systems," said Verkest. "Investment in public infrastructure generates economic benefits to communities, including jobs, more efficient transportation and a better quality of life."
"The state needs to allocate $370 billion over the next 10 years, $37 billion annually, to improve California's overall C- grade up to a B grade," said Mike Kincaid, Co-chair of the California Infrastructure Report Card (CAIRC) Committee. "The Report Card has captured the media's attention and compelled the legislators in Sacramento to be more proactive in supporting the infrastructure bond measures on the November 7, 2006 ballots."
During the November election, California voters face several ballot issues totaling $42.7 billion for infrastructure improvements.

Automatically it would be picked at the time of GR and IR.
u can do this using partner function in vendor master record
maintain vendor B as payee while maintaining partner function for vendor A
1) If the vendor A is a Goods Supplier (meaning the material is manufactured in a different country to where it is invoiced), you will need to set up another vendor A for the GS (It does not need bank information). The Goods Supplier will then appear in the Schedule Agreement/PO's.
Then modify the original vendor B in the vendor master record, select Partner functions - Type in GS in Partner and the number for the new vendor A you created for the Goods supplier. The GS will then appear in the Schedule Agreement/PO's.
Now if you are paying to vendor B, maintain B as invoicing party in the vendor master record of B.
2) In case B is just an invoicing vendor, Just create a vendor master record for B and maintain B as invoicing party in the vendor master record of A in partner functions.
Caution: Partner functions are controlled through account groups and partner schemas in customization.

You can do this by using partner function in vendor master record
maintain vendor B as a Invoicing party while maintaining the partner function for vendor A
I have maintianed B as invoicing party in vendor A but still while doing Invoice verfication it is piecking vendor A only, not B kindly help.
Check the Partner Function in Vendor Master Record and Purchase Order Header Partner tab.
Dear Ashok,
In vendor master record I got VN(vendor) and PI(invoicing party)
In PO in find only VN (vendor) Partner function PI is not there. How to proceed?
If a PO is created on a vendor, and you are doing IV then system proposed the same vendor in IV. If you want separate invoicing party then you need to change under details tab. In case the vendor doesnt exist in the company code in which you are doing IV then system asks to enter invoicing party.
And you can enter alternate payee to original vendor under payment transactions tab in vendor master which will be useful if payment has to go to different vendor (in APP)
Edited by: Praveen Raghavendra on Jan 29, 2009 10:12 AM
In whcih details tab????
In MIRO, you will see invoicing party field in details tab.
You can enter invoicing parties in vendor master partner functions.
Alternative payee for payment run in payment transaction tab.
This can be solved using partner function.
In vendor master record, purchasing organisation data, enter partner function PI (Invocing party), vendor number (vendor B) and save.
During invoice system will ask the user to select the invoicing party where you can select vendor B.

HEDGESVILLE - While Mt. Zion Episcopal Church has seen nearly 260 years of change, an upcoming addition to the church has left some members of the congregation and the town of Hedgesville divided.
Mt. Zion Episcopal Church is constructing an addition to the church that will serve as a fellowship hall and Sunday school space. When church leadership decided to build the addition and brought the decision before the congregation two years ago, opinions both for and against the pavilion were expressed.
Jim Poisal, a longtime member of the church, was one congregation member who opposed adding the pavilion. Poisal claims that part of the money used to build the structure came from a will endowment that was not specified for construction use.

Mt. Zion Episcopal Church in Hedgesville continues construction on a new fellowship hall and Sunday school space to be added to the church.
Submitted image
An artist's rendering shows the addition to Mt. Zion Episcopal Church.
"Seventy-five percent (of the endowment went) to the trustees for operating expenses of the church, including expenses of repairing, preserving and upkeep of the church structure. They want to take that money for a building. A will is a will. If you can't abide by the will, why write a will?" Poisal said.
"We are very opposed. I had in my will money left for this church. Well, I got rid of that," Poisal said.
Poisal said he opposed the addition of pavilion enough that he and church member Donald Dirting filed a lawsuit against the leadership of the church, opposing the use of funds from the will. The suit was dismissed without going to trial.
Victoria Wheelock, senior warden for Mt. Zion, was one of five members of the church leadership that unanimously voted to build a pavilion addition. Wheelock said the fellowship hall and Sunday school space are necessary to ensure the continued growth of the church and congregation.
"(The addition) is not intrusive at all. It will be covered in brick and match the wooden shutters that match the church. To take it another step further, because it's due, we're going to repaint the church and redo some of the shutters, so then it will really match," Wheelock said.
"Mt Zion has an endowment. The capital gains of the endowment have been used for this, but I want to emphasize that we're not touching the principal endowment," Wheelock said.
An additional concern raised by Poisal and town members is the pavilion's proximity to the Hedgesville Cemetery, which borders Mt. Zion's property.
"It's a special place, a sacred place there because of the cemetery and the church. We like to keep it what we respect and what we love. We just don't like to see it disturbed," said Marilyn Catlett, a resident of Hedgesville for 80 years.
"There are people who lived here and come back to the cemetery to see their grandfathers and grandmother and everybody. To have them come back and be disturbed in some way - we just want to make sure that isn't happening," she said.
While the property line for the cemetery does border the church property being used for the addition, Wheelock said nothing in the cemetery is being disturbed by the construction.
"We've taken great care, not because of concerns of other people, but this is our church. We want to take care of this, and we have total respect for the the history of our church. We have done everything we can to honor and preserve that," Wheelock said.
"Mt. Zion is not a museum. You either grow and look to the future or you close," Wheelock said.
Mt. Zion held the groundbreaking for the pavilion July 5 and the addition has an estimated completion date of December.

Bobby Brown, who was arrested and jailed in Massachusetts on Sunday for failing to appear in court and pay child support fines, will remain behind bars until he pays $19,150, a judge ruled Monday.
Brown, 40, owes suport to his former girlfriend Kim Ward, who lives in Massachusetts and with whom he has two teenage children: LaPrincia and Bobby III.
The singer's attorney, Phaedra Parks, said she didn't expect Brown to get the money until Tuesday, and said he's been struggling to make the payments he owes to Ward.
"Although this agreement was put in place when he was Bobby Brown the star, this agreement is being enforced when he is not always able to find work," Parks told the Associated Press. "He hasn't made an album in quite some years."
Brown was also ordered to return to court on Thursday – the day when his next $5,500 support payment is due.
"Kim always finds these hearing to be extremely difficult," Ward's lawyer, Linda Medonis, said. "This is not the route she wants it to go, but when he doesn't pay for a few months it becomes a real hardship for her."
Brown was arrested Sunday evening outside his daughter's cheerleading competition, Patrick McDermott, clerk of Norfolk Probate Court in Canton, Mass., told PEOPLE. "He went very cooperatively," he says. "According to the constable, no one was really around."
Jerry Loomis, one of the constables who arrested Brown, said he stopped the singer in the parking lot "because we didn't want to embarrass him or anyone else in there."
Asked if Brown was able to see his daughter perform Loomis said, "No. He was begging us to go in there, but we felt for safety reasons we couldn't allow him. It wasn't even in the cards."
In October, a judge ordered Brown to be arrested if he stepped foot in the state after the singer skipped a court hearing over $11,000 in delinquent child support payments to Ward.
Later that month, McDermott said that Brown had paid what he owed to Ward; however, the arrest warrant has remained in place – probably in case Brown fell behind again, McDermott said.
Brown, who split from Whitney Houston in September, has a history of missed child support payments, and was even jailed in March 2004 for one day after missing several payments, which he subsequently paid.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Computer woes are preventing many New Jerseyans from getting digital driver's licenses.
Motor Vehicle Commission spokesman Mike Horan says computers weren't working Monday morning at 18 of New Jersey's 44 motor vehicle agencies.
He says they couldn't link to a needed server.
Horan says the problems mean workers have not been able to process digital licenses since the agencies opened at 8 a.m.

When it comes to our personal lives and our finances, before we can set out to accomplish anything, we have to start by setting goals for ourselves. It's easy to throw out some generic goals along the lines of "I'm going to lose weight" or "I'm going to start working out more" or "I'm going to start saving for a home." But I have to ask – How do you know if you're accomplishing your goals? Or if you're even on track?
In today's video (and my first video blog at that) I discuss the importance of setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals and how exactly they relate to your financial and personal life.

The couple, who have been together since spring 2012, added another stamp to their passports this weekend when they vacationed in Jerez De La Frontera, Spain.
In town for the the MotoGP races, Kutcher, 35, and Kunis, 29, also found time to take in the sights, including a local winery.
Wearing a gray sweater, Kutcher posed for photos with one arm around Kunis, who wore a green jacket. In his other hand, he clutched a bottle of wine.
The weekend jaunt to Spain is par for the course for the pair, who recently visited Bruges, Belgium, together.
During that trip, Christine Rohart, sales manager of the Hotel Montanus told PEOPLE, "They seemed very much in love."

A Palm Beach County woman was arrested for check forgery and grand theft for allegedly stealing more than $25,000 in checks from her mother's bank account.
Shannon A. Graney, 26, was charged with four counts of forgery and three counts of grand theft. She is being held on $5,000 bond.
Graney admitted to the police that she stole $25,950 worth of checks from her 62-year-old mother. Graney subsequently cashed these checks, but told police she needed the money to "pay her drug dealer" because she "has an addiction to prescription medication."

Not for the first time this season the Chelsea midfield is causing fantasy managers real selection headaches as Mata, Oscar and Lampard got in on the points during their sides 2-0 win over Swansea.
The result now means that Rafa Benitez's side have clinched sixth straight wins at Stamford Bridge and look to be putting on a late charge at the top as they go in search of Champions League football.
Lampard's goal and an assist will have certainly caught the eye of fantasy managers but were it not for a thigh injury to Ramires the chances are we wouldn't have seem the England international start.
The 34 year old was on hand to tee up Oscar for Chelsea's opener before slotting home a penalty after Jaun Mata was adjudged to have been fouled in the box, giving the little Spaniard a welcomed assist.
Chelsea are another side who play twice in round 37 as they face off against Tottenham and Aston Villa but despite his goal an assist Mata and Oscar look like the most likely contenders for a midfield spot in most fantasy teams.
And with Oscar having scored in his last two league appearances it looks like he may get the nod ahead of his Spanish midfield team mate going into round 37.

Haas in Good Position to Repeat at Riviera
Bill Haas is primed for his second consecutive victory in the Northern Trust Open. The 30-year-old fired Saturday's low round, a 7-under 64, to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the 6.6 million PGA Tour event at famed Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Haas stands at 12-under 201 thanks five birdies and an eagle on the short par-4 10th. At the 10th, he chipped in from 57 feet on the drivable hole and then added two more birdies coming home to form a sizable gap between Webb Simpson (68), Charl Schwartzel (68) and John Merrick (70).
Along with the birdies on his bogey-free scorecard, Haas was pleased with other elements of his game. "I made some great up-and-downs out there for pars," he said at greenside. "The chip-in at 10 was a nice bonus. I'm feeling good . . . working on a swing thought that works. Things are clicking out there."
Thanks to hot, dry conditions in Southern California, the George Thomas-designed masterpiece is playing hard and fast. More of the same is expected Sunday.
Simpson was impressed his Haas's outing on a course that's playing quite difficult. "Bill shooting 7-under out there is incredible. I shot 68 and I thought that was pretty good," the 2012 U.S. Open champion told PGATour.com.
After getting off to a rocky start with a lone birdie and three bogeys on the front nine, erstwhile No. 1-ranked Luke Donald turned things around on the back with four birdies and a bogey for a 70. He's tied for fifth at 206 with 36-hole co-leader Fredrick Jacobson (72). Josh Teater (68) and Charlie Beljan (68) are another stroke back.
Tied for ninth at 6-under 207 are Hunter Mahan (68) and Sergio Garcia (69), while one shot further down the leaderboard are Adam Scott (70) and Ryan Moore (71).
Jim Furyk (69), Canada's Graham DeLaet (69) Ted Potter, Jr. (71) and South Korean Sang-Moon Bae (76) share 13th at 209. Bae began the third round tied for the lead with Jacobson, but stumbled Saturday with two birdies, five bogeys and a double-bogey on the par-5 17th hole.
Tied for 17th at 210 are Keegan Bradley (69), Greg Owen (70), Phil Mickelson (72), Stewart Cink (67) and Lee Westwood (74).
Two-time Riviera winner Fred Couples has posted rounds of 68, 72 and 73 and is now in 45th with eight other players at 2-over 213.
Haas told PGATour.com that his spirits have been buoyed by the support he's gotten this week from the gallery. "You hear a lot of people out there yelling, 'Do it again,' which is nice," he said. "It gives you some good mojo."

Where Did My Favorite Heirloom Seeds Go?
We often get phone calls and emails concerning a customer's favorite variety of heirloom seed and why it is not offered on the website or catalog this year. There are several reasons that items come and go. Some will be back in a year or two, while unfortunately, others will probably not return.
Every variety that we offer is grown for us and undergoes a lot of scrutiny, inspection and quality selection. Established standards are reviewed for each variety to ensure that the crop is growing true to type, both in physical characteristics and fruit production. We look at many more things than just the fruit production, however. Other characteristics such as germination time, leaf shape, blossom color and appearance, specific fruit shape, color and of course flavor all play a part in the selection process. If a variety does not meet our standards, it is pulled and put into the selection process, meaning it will be grown out and selected for the physical characteristics, traits, and flavors that distinguish that particular heirloom variety. This selection process can take anywhere from 2 to 10 years. If it is determined that the selection process will take too long or does not have a good chance of success, a new source of seed is needed.

Days of autumn enter late September,
Yearly glory in hues to remember.
Naked limbs cling to mem'ries of summer
As cool longer nights lead to sweet slumber.
Mountain tops catch the first drifts of snow
Inviting cold winds to the valleys below.
Copious colors patch a quilt beneath trees
And nature again gifts a harvest to please.
Under horizons of soft orange skies
The gathering of pumpkins soon will arise.
Upon Halloween each carved funny face
Meets with delight as children thrill to place
New costumes on for 'trick or treat' fun.

Halloween: Safety First Then Fun!!!
By the Poets Listed After the Poem
Happy day getting candy treats while dressed like spooks and goblins.
Angels, genies, princesses, too, put "loot" in their bags and tins.
Look both ways when you cross the street. Always stay close to your friends.
Lighted homes. Festive decorations. Porches. Pumpkins. Invite!
Oh, be leery of the dark, where ghosts and spooks stay out of site.
Wear bright costumes that reflect at night! Not lose or tight. Just right!
Every child must be aware that some goblins inhabit homes.
Each year we hear of razor blades placed in a child's candied cones.
Never!!! Ever!!! Eat your treats 'til Mom says, "OK, little gnomes."
Stay safe! Look around! While you walk, beware of witches and bats.
Always, ghosts and goblins watch. Looking out for sweet treats you drop.
Fear? If they happen to appear parents, quickly call the cops!
Enjoy laughter, hot chocolate, and other treats with your friends.
Take care not to play tricks that could hurt others or cause offense.
Youngsters, polite and respectful, great delight they do dispense.
Fun you will have! Enjoyment too. Be sure that you are careful!
In all situations, "Trick-or-Treaters" beware! Need HELP? Shout!!!
Remember say, "Thank you" for treats when you're out and about.
Stay clear of Spooky Soupers as they write with their crazy pens.
To write in verse, some witches curse. And drive sanity 'round bends.
The madness, "Dearie," is very clear; they strive to make amends.
Hooting owls and wild black cats wildly eat from your mum's pumpkin
Eerily, creaky zombies leave their tombs and walk down your streets.
Night, bubbling soups, you must beware, might be made of your own feet--
Frantic frenzies and fabulous fun begins just before dark.
Under that moonlit chilling night, "Trick- or-Treaters," find their mark.
Nearby neighbors anticipate. Waiting with treats is a lark!

Toddlers walking the streets at night,
Running from house to house.
Images of candy fill their heads,
Costumes of all kinds abound.
Knocking on strangers doors.
On their faces are smiles galore,
Ready for the next house.
Time consuming ritual,
Right down to the last minute.
Emptying out the jars of goodies,
Always to say thank you sir or ma`am.
Treasures await them when they get home.
Copyright © Jasmine Cruz | Year Posted 2014
Halloween night of events
Alot of trick or treating
Lots of candy for eating
Love when they come to the door
Opening bags wanting more
Witches, pumpkins or a ghost

H aunting continues within the dilapidated old house on the hill
A long winding tree lined path may be followed to it's entrance
U ntil last season the house lay quiet and still
N ow one can see strange lights and hear faint voices coming from the manor
T omorrow is "All Hallow's Eve" and the town's children have decided to climb the hill
following the treacherous path
I nnocence and curiosity go hand and hand within the young
N o one was prepared for what waited for the children beyond the iron gates
G hostly ghouls and goblins anxious to take their place!

Hairy eyeballs hanging from a wizard's crown.
Arachnids sprawled on his black sparkling gown.
Ludicrous marks scar his face beneath a frown.
Luscious blood dripping very slowly down.
Opulent jewelry shaped like bones.
Worn around his neck amid creepy groans.
Ecstatic bats wait around for deadly moans.
Eerily suspended from their master's belt.
Nonchalantly walking, his evil presence is felt.
Coming down the stairs was a star bejeweled queen.
Overcome; such beauty he had never before seen.
Stunned into submission by her piercing eyes.
Trapped by love's intrusion and compassion's cries.
Unveiling beauty, cajoling pleasant sighs.
Miraculously transformed his evil heart; love flows.
Enticed by the moment, together, attraction grows.
Bedazzled by the grandeur of the Halloween Ball
Altruism curiously sealed love that fall.
Laughter filled the man with the eyeballs on his crown.
Loved by the queen in her star bejeweled gown.

L- Lamplights offer the light.
O- Ominous creatures slither slowly
W- Working through the night.
E- Eager witches get on their brooms
E- Empty promises not fulfilled.
N- Night of nights its halloween
Halloween goblins roaming nights halls
A goblin party, when the night falls
Looking for treats, they all get their kicks
Loving to delve into their bags of tricks
Oh the unsuspecting…
Women and men, their children, protecting
Everyone beware
Even children, out there and
Never look a goblin in the eye!

Having a little dark fun
A scary night

Oh no someones following me

She said," hurry tommy before the old lady sees",
Take care not to touch the gate, or you will freeze.
Our goal tonight is to teach her, we are not too scared.
Never to be scared of anything is what we declared.
Each day the old ladies mansion, we all did tease.
Cautiously he did go closer to her front door.
Ogling every square foot, that was for sure.
Listening for noise or creak, deep in his core,
Donning Halloween costume, she wouldn't adore.
Gently he rang the door buzzer, and then he did run.
Amazingly faster than any other that had already shun.
Zealously he yelled back, the spell we had spun.
Everyone still sees her stone cold gaze in the midnight sun.

Happily in costume, children walk streets.
All Hallows Day, Halloween. Trick or treat.
Laughing at neighbors' doors, ghosts under sheets.
Lingering for candy, a child's entreat.
Overhead the sky dark black; fathoms fear.
Windy walks, silent streets, goblins appear.
Erie tones of voice, parents watch austere.
Endearing fun and teasing as ghouls draw near.
Nonchalantly, breathing deep, not one tear.
Night is filled with mysteries; souls endure.
Imagination grips and minds ensnare.
Graves and tombstones bedecked front yards, a lure.
Halloween celebrates souls, not yet pure.
Trick-or-treat; rich or poor, fear fills the air.

Halloween of the year 2007
As I visited Aunt Kelly in US
Lovely costumes in black and red
Long green gown for me was made
Over the bridge we passed in a parade
Wondering at the beauty of the fairy lights
Evening turning to night
Enjoyment and fun at every corner
Nightly ghost stories and caramel apples to eat

Happy Halloween
Halloween Party remembered as grand and great
All were so excited and delighted to celebrate
Little angels liked the candy and cakes the best
Lovely carvings created on the pumpkins in the crate
Overwhelmed in playing bobbing for apples in the basket
Watching thrillers and scary movies, yet funniest
Enjoying beautiful treats gifted by the elders and eldest
Entering in gorgeous colorful costume contest
No tricks were applied except harmless merriment.

Hazy moon graces a midnight sky
And the stars play tag with the clouds
Life below is sleeping peacefully
Laughter breaks the silence, a cackle
Overhead, witches fly
While ghosts haunt the streets
Every year this happens
Each time brings new horrors
Nightmare creatures roam till dawn
Copyright © Amy Frazey | Year Posted 2010
Horrible goblins and ghouls abound
All of them making a shrieking sound
Living dead are out tonight
Leading humans to quake with fright
Onward they creep these hounds of hell
Wily demons in darkness dwell
Ever gaining on human prey
Each one stalking till light of day
Needing human flesh to feed
Now they move with ghastly speed
Into the night they crawl and hiss
Growing close to that dark abyss
Humans watch your step indeed
Tonight's the night you must take heed

Hours of horrible happenings
Afraid of aerobatics' artist

Luggage of lies and loss fills the land
Outrageous onslaught on oldies
Weird wards willing to waste

Naughty ninjas at night niggle.

Here's a real love like no other
A love that we only we share with one another
Love like this don't come easy
Like being with u makes everything right
Only a love like ours is worth every fight
We've ever been though
Every now and then
Endless love is what we share until the end
Notice how every line started with the letters the makes up the word Halloween
The only thing that is scary about this day is losing u if u know what I mean.

In a previous post, I mentioned a contest I participated in as a part of the MAD Magazine visit to the SCAD Savannah campus last weekend. The contest challenged students to make the best Spy Vs. Spy comic, inspired by the classic Antonio Prohias strips. My piece was a finalist and is currently on display in the gallery at Poetter Hall at 342 Bull St., in Savannah. For those of you not in the Savannah area, I thought I'd post my piece here on the blog in case anyone was interested to read it! I had a lot of fun tackling characters that were not my own, and was pretty pleased with how some parts of it turned out.

Very cool! Except that I think you missed a . in your first letter (Morse code) and made it a "D" instead of a "B". It currently reads DY EMI GENNIS

text: Do you use any lip balms or lotions that might have something in it? The waves of cramps sound a lot like what I get when I'm glutened. I wasn't as sensitive until I went GF and my guts started healing. The other thing you might want to look into is corn. I developed an intolerance when I went back on gluten for celiac testing. It tends to be even more prevalent than gluten in the production of a million things. I don't have a gut reaction to it, but an overall inflammatory one. You could be different. If you eat meat from the supermarket it could have corn in it if they inject it with liquids. It may also be specific proteins, such as beef or pork. You might try eliminating specific meats to see if you improve.

Excerpted from "Feeder Facts" in "Popular Birding Series: Backyard Birding," published by BirdChannel.com publisher I-5 Publishing LLC.
No discussion of bird feeders is complete without mentioning squirrels. Many bird enthusiasts take great pains to keep squirrels out of bird feeders, adding baffles and domes to the feeders and choosing mechanical bird feeders that spin when a squirrel tries to feed on the bird seed.
Other backyard birders take a "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude toward the rodents, installing squirrel feeders to keep the furry bandits out of the bird seed.
Squirrel feeders can be as simple as a spiral wire that holds a dried corncob, but many feeders are designed to make the squirrel work for its food. Why not?
These agile, acrobatic creatures will do anything for a peanut, and it's amusing to watch them use their brains to solve a problem. Some squirrel feeders require the critter to lift a lid on a box, some look more like moving jungle gyms, and others employ bungee cords. If you're going to feed the squirrels, you might as well enjoy the show!

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
UPDATE TO Mrs. Flinger October 16, 2015
Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, after this delcaration, my blog threw up all over my last upgrade.
So I'm starting over using Craft. Turning 40 and kid entering Jr High next year, sometimes it's just time for a change. These archives will still exist in the way the last child goes off to college and their room is the same for 20 years, but it's just time to move forward.
Little Girls and Their Daddies May 24, 2008
"Yes, Snow White?"
"Dance with me!"
"Yes, Snow White?"
"I love you."
One day she'll dance with him at her wedding. The dress will be different, she will have a new Prince, but I will always remember today.
It's your birthday and I'll cry if I want to May 20, 2008
#Life#The Flinger Family#Baby O
Today was not supposed to be your birthday. I was focused on June 15th but you had a different plan. Instead, today, and every May 20th will be a celebration for us. We'll celebrate your early arrival, your strength, your loving spirit and your joyful soul.
Today we'll celebrate you.
You are the baby that took away my words. You are the son that we hoped for. You are the child that laughs easily making everyone smile around you.
You are joy.
You are happiness.
You are very very busy and sometimes you make me so very very tired.
You have this habit of wanting to be held while simultaneously wanting to run from our house to California and back before bed time. It's comical to everyone else watching. It's a workout for my biceps. I'm thinking of trying out for the UFC before you turn two. I know your dad will watch. He'd probably bet on the Other Guy, though.
It's ok. I still love you for it.
You keep me on my toes. You bring me to my knees. You create games out of Tupperware, tampons and recycling. You're perfectly happy to crawl butt naked around the wood floor and drag your penis from the living room to the kitchen. Don't worry, you don't have worms. We checked.
You do, however, have an ear for music. When a song comes on your face lights up and you jiggle your legs until you fall. You find this so completely hilarious you have a hard time getting back up.
You giggle at everything your sister does.
She does a lot of things for you. And to you. She likes to pretend you're a princess.
You don't mind too much.
We enjoy you fully, our little Man Baby, the one who completed our family. We need nothing else, our snuggles are warm, our arms are full, our hearts are complete and we all adore you more than you'll ever know.
Thank you for being you even if you still don't sleep through the night. (I'm telling myself it's because I'm so super cool and you'd rather be with me at 3AM then by yourself because it's the single time each day we sit and snuggle in the quiet. And I love it, too.) Thank you for being early. Thank you for being amazing. Thank you for choosing us as your family.
We love you.
And, to the Inernet, thank you. Thank you to our friends who held him and let me poop. Thank you to my family. Thank you to Jack Daniels. Thank you for watching him come early, go to the NICU, grow, come home, crawl, giggle, walk. Thank you for sharing this year with us.
Thank you.
Brutally Honest Monday: In Which I Ask For Your Help May 19, 2008
It's a mixed blessing. I love my job. I love coding. I love being a nerd. I love being a mom (most days) and I love my kids. What a curse to have so many wonderful things in my life. I mean, really, who can complain when the sun is out, the house is clean, the clients are poring in and the work is wonderful?
Lemme try.
My daughter has anxiety. I don't know what there is to be anxious about at three. My toys! My bed! MY HAIR. It's everything: the panties that must be pink, the bed that has to be perfect, the barrette that has to be blue with a bow and on the left side. She's high stress. She worries when I'm upstairs and she's not. She freaks her shit out when I go lay her brother down in his crib because MommyICan'tSeeYou!! God forbid I need to poop.
So in her world the worst possible thing that can happen is for me to go to work. Of course, in my world, the worst possible thing to happen is trying to work from home with her there. Last time I checked I was the mom. I win, right? But leaving my daughter bawling and clinging asking me to just stay home does not feel like winning.
I explained that we want to buy a house with enough rooms for her to have her own. I asked what color she wanted it. "PINK!" Of course. I explained that some times she has to do things she doesn't like because I'm trying to instill a sense of responsibility and understanding that life is not gimmegimme and taketaketake. There's a lot of work in the blessings we have. We work for those. We save. We struggle. We scrimp. We enjoy. It's not entitlement, it's a living.
I understand she's only three but I firmly believe my children need to learn these lessons early so they can wrap their tiny pre-pubesent minds around them in ten years. And again in twenty. And perhaps come to fully understand them in thirty years when their three year olds are crying because someone else got the pink balloon. Buck up, kid. Throw some dirt on it.
On the other hand, she's traumatized easily. She has nightmares because they had butterflies at school. BUTTERFLIES people. What on earth is terrifying about a butterfly? It flies. It's pretty. OHMYGOD it's freaky.
Here's my question, for Brutally Honest Monday, and I want your Brutally Honest Opinion (I expect nothing less here): WHAT DO I DO? She begs, cries, screams for me to not work. She offered to share her room with her brother forever if I promise to stay home. Those are powerful statements. She's sad. She misses me. I'm doing what I can to balance it out: I work three days a week now. When she's home I do my best to not be on the computer. I'm trying to work after she goes to bed and spend quality time with her. But still, there's something heart wrenching about seeing her teary face as I leave her at home.
Then again, if she was in another country, another situation, another time, the answer would be "Sorry kid." If I was a single parent there would be no question. If this were Africa, her life would be vastly different. But it's not. And I'm not. And while the $30,000 deficit our house is worth today versus what we paid for it two years ago making it nearly impossible to sell and get in to a house we fit in is painful, it's not the end of the world.
But damnit, I love my job. And I think I'm a better mom because of it. I wish she did.
** If you participate in your own Brutally Honest Post, let me know, ok? **

My family. My Country. May 13, 2008
This one is for my Brother-In-Law who was deployed on May 3rd. This is the only website he can get to for a piece of home. Apparently group websites like flickr, myspace, facebook and twitter are off limits but blogs about farting and being driven crazy by two small children are a-ok. Who knew?
A lot of people talk about supporting our troops but wish we'd spend less on our military. A lot of people say they love our country but vow to vote in someone who will take the last bits of what makes us unique away. A lot of people want to thank the people who fight to keep us the United States Of America but don't know how.
Here's your chance.
I thought I'd donate one dollar per comment here to their family to help offset the cost of living. My Brother-In-Law has a second job to help pay for his family of four, including his new 5 month old daughter. He works at two full time jobs, one for the Air Force and one for a movie theater. While he's away, he suspends his work at his second job, forgoing that pay, to serve his country.
Are you teary yet? No?
The families of these men and women living on base, being a community together, working toward a common goal are heroes, people with children, people like you and me. Only better. I saw moms I could relate to but who had a much stronger spirit than I could hope to obtain. Moms whose children would watch their dads go off to war. Moms who would give baths alone. Moms who would read the bedtime stories, tuck in the children, make the lunches, and get up to feed the baby alone. They do it because they love their husbands and because they love their country and because they have a pride a lot of people can not fathom.
And I had a hard time not seeing my husband and baby boy for four days? I can not imagine four months.
So, to my brother-in-law, thank you so very much for taking care of us. For being an awesome Dad to my nieces, for standing by my sister, for serving our country, for having a pride that separates you from the crowd. Thank you for everything you do and know we're all here loving and appreciating and admiring you.
And for every comment here, I'm giving one dollar to help the family. Here's your chance to support our troops, y'all.
With much love and many more videos and photos to come:
Mrs. Flinger, your sister.

This is a Russian roulette of blog posts. Take your pick!
1. Baby O takes his first step!
2. Baby O is diagnosed with his sixth double ear infection in four months.
3. Snacks on a plane: The perils of traveling with Cheeze-its.
4. The "ultrasounds cause autism" myth debunked: Via demonstration:
5. Spray tanning: How to create half moons of white flesh where your boobs lay across your chest during the mist.
And, finally…
6: Why I'm going to Arizona with my "normal" three year old for four days and possibly missing my sons second step and seventh round of antibiotics and bringing snacks-on-the-plane with half moon white spaces from mystic tan:

Laughing until I fart May 06, 2008
#Life#Social Clutz Loveable Spaz
I just got my first, er, fifty-first piece of hatemail.
The IP of 126.96.36.199 writes,
"Dear Mrs. Fliger. I've known you wanted to be just like Dooce for years but you couldn't hide it any better? Your web designs suck and your coding is awful and now your stealing ideas from Dooce's website. Pathetic. Get your own fonts."
Hang on… Hang on…
Sorry, I'm laughing… so.. incredibly.. hard.. right… now..
I fart when I laugh. Didn't you know that? My closest friends know that. I figured I've told The Internet that at some point or other.
Or maybe I should show you video evidence?
So thank you, 188.8.131.52, for reminding me to not work so much on those sucky designs that I don't take the time to share ass-gas with The Internet.
Thank you.
P.S. Your is possessive. You're is a contraction of YOU and ARE. Please take notes.
P.P.S. I'm Mrs. FLINGER. With an "L". Please reference the font I've "stolen" from Dooce on my header for my name.
P.P.P.S I'm honored you've read for years even though you hate me. Please feel free to refresh this page and send it to all your hating Flinger friends. I hope you have a secret Flinger-Hate club. I've always wanted to have a club. Refresh Refresh Refresh.
P.P.P.P.S. The video is from our garage sale on Saturday when NOBODY showed up. We started pranking our friend who couldn't be there (we sent her away, actually because it was so slow) and telling her people were making deals. There are four videos. Each one is funnier than the one before. I will post more if you ask nice and pee in the potty and stop wetting the bed. Also, the part where I fall down on the ground? That's just after I fart. It's true.
Adding ShareThis plugin to Advanced Typepad Templates May 05, 2008
This is one of those nerdy posts I share that is based on experience and research. After looking for some answers and being very unsatisfied with the amount of information out there, I decided to share this here. If you're looking for Brutally Honest Monday, I'll be posting that in a bit. If you're looking for my laugh-out-loud sense of humor and amazing writing ability, let me know if you find it. I've been working on that for years.
Let's get started.
What you need
1. You'll need advanced template access in Typepad.
2. A Share This script for your registered blog.
3. Some HTML knowledge.
The Typepad foundation uses Moveable Type tags. You'll see a tag called
tag to close the post area. You'll need to use these tags to place the ShareThis script in each post.
If you look in your Main Index Advanced Template, you will see a tag< $MTWeblogIncludeModule module="entry-list-sticky"$ >. This is where your < MT Entries > ....... < /MT Entries >
tag actually lives on the front page. In other pages (Individual, Date Archive, etc) we'll be modifying a similar, but slightly different, entry list module. So it's not going to be as obvious about where to place the script. We'll need to do a teeny tiny hack to get it to display at each post.
The Hack
Here's where we get down and nerdy. (Again, see? I'm looking for my laugh-out-loud wit, I told you).
1. Log in to your Advanced Templates and choose your current design. Feel free to create a backup copy of your current design and mess with that one. This has saved me several (hundred) times.
2. Go to the Create New Template Module. Name it something helpful and obvious. We'll be making two new modules, one for the main index page and one for the individual entry pages. I'm naming my main page module entry-list-addthis-main.
3. Open a new tab (or window) and copy the Featured Post code.
4. Paste your code in to the new entry-list-addthis-main module.
5. Copy your Addthis Script and place it just below the
 < $MTEntryPostFooter$ >
6. Publish your template.
7. Open your Main Index Template and look for the original< $MTWeblogIncludeModule module="entry-list-sticky"$ > and replace it with < $MTInclude module="entry-list-addthis-main"$ >
(be sure to put the name of your main module if you chose a different name! And there shouldn't be any spaced in the tags.)
8. Save and Publish your templates.
(As an aside…. Feel free to place

tags (no spaces) around the script if you want it on its own line like this..)
Individual Archive Pages
Only slightly different since we'll be using the Individual Entries tag, you'll create another module (I called mine entry-lists-individual. Such Genius.) Copy and Paste the code from the individual entries tag in to the template. Place your script in the same location (under the
 < MTIfNonEmpty tag="MTEntryPostFooter" >
 tags) placing a
 between them if you'd prefer. (Click Save) Go back to your Individual Archive template and replace < $MTWeblogIncludeModule module="entry-individual"$ > with < $MTInclude module="entry-list-individual"$ >
. (Click Save)
Publish your posts.
The Uncool Post May 01, 2008
#Life#Getting to know me#Working Mom
How cool is it to talk about how you can't talk? Or blog about your Not Blogging? Or talk about how busy you are at work but can't talk about Work Stuff?
If a blog post posted with nothing on it would anyone read it?
Let's find out.
Things are, in a gigantic understatement, both busy, wonderful, and terrifying. I find myself buckling under stress put on by my own self and challenging myself to push through it. It's a wonderful scary combination of personal growth, professional growth and change.
I have my weak moments. I have my strong moment. I've cried in the coffee shop because of an IIS server and I've laughed out loud with Karen as we tackle jobs together.
My children are changing as much as I am. They're growing and learning and becoming their own people. LB now has the most hilarious things coming out of her mouth instead of the tantrums, hissyfits and grunts (we still have plenty of drama, to be sure) and Baby O is nearing One Year.
Wait, what? One Year?
It's a time of change and growth here. Some of it hurts. I'm learning how much I can promise and how frustrated I am when I can't keep those promises. I'm learning that my eldest daughter is a little girl now, complete with stories and songs and the ability to help empty the dishwasher. I'm learning that my son is growing in to a toddler, complete with sign language and walking.
Yes. That's right. Walking.
It's only a few very short weeks or days now as he's taken to standing and moving his feet on his own. In some circles that's called walking.
I call that What The Hell NO NO NO.
Change is inevitable. I'm not sure I'm ready.
