5 Non-Designer Objects for the Design Set
Maxwell's (and Martha Stewart's), these stools are made to last with a price and appearance that couldn't be cooler. See more at the decidedly un-designer-y Lyon Workspace Products. Baker's Twine: The red and white string was actually first used by butchers, alongside green and white, as well as blue and white string. The colors were used to code different cuts of meat. We love the colored string for wrapping gifts. You can purchase baker's twine in just about any color at The Twinery. Paper Tubes: Not just for mailing, paper tubes have even found their way into world-class architecture! I've made temporary furniture with them and they can look cool as bed leg covers! Find heavy duty tubes at Uline. Jelly Jar Light Fixtures: I learned the term "jelly jar" when spec-ing them for modern, multi-million dollar residences at a progressive architectural design firm in Chelsea. However, they're a ubiquitous design that you can pick up for ten bucks each. Love 'em. Check out light bulb maker Satco for a selection of them. Canvas Laundry Baskets: While these may have been made to withstand institutional laundries, they are also good at corralling residential laundry, gardening supplies, or even the kids' toys. Check out Steele Canvas for our fave. (Images: The Twinery, Lyon Workspace Products, Uline, Satco, Steele Canvas)

It goes to a split decision:
Round 1 - A rowdy crowd cheers for our first bout. Loveland chases with lunging punches, but Jabouin pushes him away. Loveland charges again but comes up short. Loveland tries another lunging right that misses. Jabouin catches him with a spinning back kick to the gut on the next attempt. Loveland charges and clinches, but Jabouin shoves him away, and we reset. The crowd wants some action. Jabouin lands a nice side kick, but Loveland answers with some dirty boxing. Jabouin throws another kick, but Loveland catches it and dumps him to the mat. Loveland works from half guard as Jabouin pulls him close. Loveland postures for better position, but Jabouin ties him up. Loveland briefly goes to his feet and delivers a few punches before returning to half guard. Loveland grabs an arm and looks for a submission, but Jabouin easily shakes him off. Loveland postures to his knees to deliver some punches and elbows, but the ref calls for a timeout. He wants an errant stitch cut from Loveland's glove. On the restart, Jabouin lands a nice low kick. Loveland moves in with winging punches and resets. Loveland just misses with a front kick. Jabouin answers with a nice kick to the ribs. Loveland moves in with a straight right, and they reset. Loveland blitzes again and partially connects on a right. Jabouin lands a nice low-kick/right hook combo. Jabouin just misses a high kick and then blasts Loveland with a right hook to the face. He follows with a flying knee before Loveland catches him and ties up the action for recovery time. The final punch was the round's most effective, but Loveland did enough damage early to narrowly win the round, 10-9.
Round 2 - Loveland shoots in immediately and works the fight to the floor. Working in side control briefly, but Jabouin quickly transitions out and to the top. He thinks briefly about a guillotine but is forced to let go and set up on top. Loveland rolls deftly for an armbar, but ultimately uses it as a sweep back to the top. He can't capitalize after a little time there, so they stand and reset. Jabouin takes the center on the restart. A kick is blocked, and a punch comes up just short. Jabouin lands a spinning kick to the gut. Halfway in. Another spinning kick catches the cup, and we have a brief break. Jabouin again on the center of the cage to restart, and the pace has slowed after a highlight-filled first. Loveland ducks in for a takedown, but Jabouin does an excellent job of first controlling the neck, then moving back to his feet. He does catch a knee on the exit, but he appears OK. Loveland finally comes alive in the final minute, but it's mostly single strikes. He shoots again, but this one is half-hearted at best. Jabouin digs to the body. Jabouin scores a late takedown and secures the round on the MMAjunkie.com card, 10-9.
Round 3 - Both fighter looking to strike early, but neither overcommitting in the early going. Jabouin ducks a punch and lands a takedown, but the two pop immediately back to the feet. Tentative third frame. Both fighters look to have enough energy to compete, though Jabouin is the bouncier opponent. Jabouin pushes in again but is shoved away by Loveland. Jabouin lands a few creative strikes. A little tape is loose on his glove, but it's unnoticed. Lovelan tries to work the fight to the floor, but Jabouin simply pushes him away. Halfway in. The boos are coming now from the crowd, who want action. Loveland seems to be trying to time a counter-takedown, and Jabouin is likely earning him points on the judges' cards. Jabouin kicks to the body, and it slows Loveland even more. Jabouin lands another spinning kick to the body, and a punch comes up just short. Jabouin tries for a takedown, but Loveland braces himself and moves right back to the feet. Firefight in burst over the final 30 seconds, but it's Jabouin that gets the best of it. Close round, but Jabouin was the aggressor throughout and takes the round on the MMAjunkie.com card, 10-9, as well as the fight, 29-28. Yves Jabouin def. Ian Loveland via split decision (27-30, 29-28, 29-28)

Marquis Flowers: Flowers NFL future is probably at linebacker, although he was not a terrible college safety by any means. Last season, Flowers showed a solid ability at making open field tackles and getting into the backfield, as he finished with 13 tackles for loss, including 5.5 sacks.
He has continued to grow physically and is in line for a big season. He is not going to be a high draft pick unless he has a monstrous season, but there is a good chance that Flowers will prove to be good enough for a late-round pick.
Austin Hill: Hill's chances of being drafted decreased dramatically with his knee injury, but we have to list him here just in case he is able to get healthy. At this point, Hill is not necessarily out for the year and there is a chance he will be back at some point this season. If that happens, and Hill is able to put together a solid string of games and show he is healthy, it would not be a shock to see him enter the draft.
Is it likely? No, probably not. However, Hill was one of the best receivers in the country last season and if he is able to come back at some point, he could generate buzz. There have been crazier things that have happened, but Hill has NFL potential.
Ka'Deem Carey: Carey has the ability to be a first-round pick in next year's draft and if he does not go that high, he won't be far off. He led the nation in rushing last season, has a body built to be a NFL running back, and can be used in numerous ways.
This one is a no-brainer not only in terms of his stock, but where he will be after next season. If Carey does not enter the draft, it likely means he had a disappointing season. If that happens, Arizona as a whole suffered because of it. We would be surprised if either was a real option, so we are making the easy prediction of Carey being the first Arizona player drafted next year.
Watch list:
The three players above combined with the fact that Arizona did not have any players drafted this year shows that Rich Rodriguez won with limited talent. He had numerous players drafted from when he was at Michigan and you have to believe it is going to take him a few years to get the necessary talent into Arizona. Once that happens, the number of players drafted is going to increase.
We can keep an eye on players that Fabbians Ebbele, Tra'Mayne Bondurant, and maybe a few others, but none of them are likely to enter the draft early. There just is not a lot of NFL talent on Arizona right now, but all signs point to that changing in the next few years.

The Motion/Captured Review: 'I Love You, Beth Cooper'
Her name was Florencia Bess.
Yes, I had a Beth Cooper. She wasn't the head cheerleader or unattainable because she was at some unreachable social stratus. I dated in high school, had girlfriends, had friends. I don't identify with the knock-kneed nerd in films who never figures out how to talk to girls, because I realized early on that I was never going to date unless I figured that out. But there were certain girls... and I'm sure this is true for everyone... who stood so far outside the standard definition of "girls," that they seemed to explode every rule I knew, and because of that, no amount of experience helped.
She made it worse by being sweet and funny and easy to talk to, and when we both worked the same after-school job, she was absolutely part of the same peer group. It's just that when I'd try to express just how much she impacted me, I couldn't. Looking back now, I know that what I was feeling wasn't "love." It was more akin to chemical overload. She overwhelmed me when I was around her. She made me write buckets of bad poetry. And on those rare occasions I actually got all the neurons firing, I would profess my love to her. Over and over. And yet I couldn't understand why that didn't lead to a first date. Obviously I was just as suffocating as she was overwhelming, and just as I had no experience with adoring someone to that degree, she had no experience with being adored to that degree.
"I Love You, Beth Cooper" is ostensibly a teen comedy in the tradition of John Hughes in the '80s or "American Pie" or "Fast Times At Ridgmont High." And both in book form and on film, there are any number of references to other classics of the genre, nods in structure or in scenes or in the ways author Larry Doyle subverts our expectations. But there's more to it, and that's why I guess I'm a little puzzled by the knee-jerk rejection of this film by so many. There's some real meat on this one in the way it examines the distance between the fantasy we can build in our heads of someone and the reality that we'd have to confront if we actually got to know the person, something that cuts right to the heart of desire in all its forms: how often do we really want the thing we think we want, and how often does it really make us happy when we get it?
[more after the jump]
Paul Rust, a sight gag before he ever delivers a line of dialogue, stars as Denis Cooverman, who has spent most of his academic life sitting behind Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere) in class after class after class. While delivering his valedectorian address during graduation, he confesses his love for Beth Cooper and also drops some other truths about his fellow students, things left unsaid. The fallout from that speech is what fuels his long, crazy night that includes a black eye, random acts of nudity, near death, bad driving, KISS, kisses, and coked-out army men. And while all of that sounds like the film is going to be played as nothing but wacky comedy, the film is actually fairly small and sincere, with the occasional swing into the overly broad. Those moments of big physical comedy are probably the reason the film got made (20th Century Fox never saw a "oh, look, that cute animal is actually a vicious killer" joke they didn't love), but they're the thing that keeps me from wholeheartedly recommending the film to you. What worked really well on the page in Doyle's novel can sometimes feel hollow and fake onscreen, because it just doesn't feel credible.
What does feel credible are the relationships. Paul Rust and Jack Carpenter are the somewhat nerdy outsiders and best friends who find themselves packing a full four years of teen experience into one long night. Rust anchors the film well, but it's Carpenter who takes his role and makes a run for movie stardom with it. He's Richard Munch, Denis's best friend, a movie-quoting possibly gay kid with a lousy home life and a permanent smile. He gets to play one of the greatest homages to the Errol Flynn "Robin Hood" I've ever seen, not that 99% of the target audience for this film will have any idea what they're referencing. Rust also turns out to have solid chemistry with Panettiere, which is good, since I don't really think she's got much chemistry on her own at all. She strikes me as a real-life Beth Cooper, a girl who has gotten where she is and what she has based on how she looks, even though there's not much under the hood. She's a cute girl, but I don't think she's exhibited much range as a performer, and I'm not sure I buy her even when she's playing within that narrow range. Her friends, played by Lauren Storm and Lauren London, are more consistently interesting in the film. There's something about Storm's wide naughty smile that makes her the focus of a shot even when she's just in the background of scenes. She seems to be alive, actually thinking, and not just holding a space in a scene while waiting for her next line.
The rabid military boyfriend is a drag on the film, largely because Shawn Roberts brings little to the role beyond narrow feral eyes, treetrunk arms, and a flat-top. He doesn't have the ability to twist the characterization a la James Marsden in "Sex Drive" or Bill Paxton in "Weird Science," and a role like this needs something slightly crazy driving it, or it doesn't work. It just becomes the sort of cliche that so much of the script seems intent on deflating.
Columbus is at his best in the film's quiet moments, and with some of the supporting cast like Alan Ruck and Cynthia Nixon as Rust's parents. The more honest the film plays things, the better it is, and the eventual conclusion of the evening between Rust and Panettiere is more touching than I would have expected.
I'm not sure what happened to Florencia Bess. While I'm still in touch with many people from high school, she vanished, and the few times I've tried to indulge my idle curiosity, I've come up cold. I hope that wherever she is and whatever she's doing, she's happy and satisfied, and that she found a guy who was in love with the real her and not some imagined version in his head. The only other time in my life that I've met someone who left me as unsteady and as flummoxed as her was when I met my wife. She seemed to live in a different world than me, pretty and quiet and unconnected to the film business, and I spent months convincing myself that she'd never be able to deal with the lunacy that is my life. When I finally let my guard down and got close to her, she turned out to be different than I expected, but unlike "Beth Cooper," I didn't find her disappointing. Far from it. Instead, I realized that this person was stronger and smarter and more decent than anyone else I knew, and I found myself drawn to the reality of her in a way that the fantasy never would have supported. And even now, seven years after we were married, I find that she can be difficult and demanding and frustrating and infuriating and complicated, and I wouldn't trade my life with her for anything or anyone. Because the difficult reality of our lives together is worth it for the highs, for the family we've created together, and for the sheer knowledge that I'm going to have to work the rest of my life to keep her engaged, never taking for granted that I deserve this person. And no matter how intoxicating those fantasy girls are when we're young, they are just that... fantasy. In its best moments, "I Love You, Beth Cooper" proves to be more knowing about relationships and love than most movies of its ilk, and for those moments, I would say it's worth your time.

Flash frying is a high-heat deep-frying technique used to rapidly brown small pieces of quick-cooking food such as tiny calamari or small shrimp to avoid overcooking them before the crust browns. Flash flying requires an oil temperature of at least 400°F—which means you have to use an oil with a high smoke point, like grapeseed oil. By poaching the chicken first and then flash frying it, I was able to eliminate 20 grams of fat and at least 250 calories from traditional fried chicken. Because the chicken is already cooked, it only has to spend enough time in the hot oil to brown the crust, which means it absorbs less oil. - Rocco Dispirito
Heat the chicken broth in a medium saucepot over high heat, seasoning it generously with salt. Add the chicken thighs to the pan and bring the broth to a simmer. Cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently until the chicken is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the thighs from the liquid, pat them dry, and set them aside on a platter; cover it with foil to keep them warm.
While the chicken is cooking, pour the grapeseed oil into a large pot with high sides, and bring it to 400˚F over high heat. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet or over several layers of paper towels (for draining the chicken). In a shallow dish, combine the flour with the paprika, celery salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
Combine the warm chicken thighs with the buttermilk in a large bowl, coating them completely. Dredge the thighs in the seasoned flour. Then dip the thighs in the buttermilk and dredge them in the seasoned flour once more, to double-coat the chicken. Shake off any excess flour.
Fry the chicken, 2 pieces at a time, in the hot oil until deep golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain on the wire rack, and serve immediately.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a music channel with some nice flash. You can just turn on your music and it does something neat like windows media player and others. We really do need a voice channel as well. Communication is far to difficult with other players at the moment. We also need a component for the Wii that allows a keyboard to attach to the Wii remote so we can surf the web more easily.

Well, why not have some small online game which then everybody could have for free. Like something similar to tanks on Wiiplay. Add chat functions to it, and you can spend quite a while on it playing your friends or the rest of the world. Up to 8 players , with 2-4 teams. It would also let you choose the type of tank you want to use, with each tank having advantages and disadvantages. Like a tank which can shoot bouncing missiles, but is immobile. An online game which every Wii user would have (connected to the internet, that is).

Steve Wilson: Generations
Wilson's "Trapaceria" is a modern mainstream piece with fiery Latin rhythms and carnaval melodies. Doubling of the piano and alto saxophone voices in places increases the drama, to contrast with the composition's playful attitude. Wilson's "A Joyful Noise" is a pleasant waltz that features his soprano sax winding its way through the melody with a stamina that recalls John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things." Miller's "Small Portion" is a lively up-tempo romp that features each of the quartet's members in expressive solo encounters. The pianist's solo portion is especially refreshing. Miller's blues-tinged keyboard work contains crisp energetic phrasing over a powerful rhythmic left-hand foundation. Drummond's "Leanin' & Preenin' " is a dramatic piece with a loose, swinging feel to it. While remaining heavy at the bottom, the number struts a cocky rhythm over which Wilson and Miller swing in turn. Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge" moves along, bolero-like, to a fascinating drum and pizzicato bass pattern that supports its familiar soaring alto saxophone melody. The classic "Sweet and Lovely" is performed light and bouncy, but with a melodic twist; it's the session's highlight. As with all good music, Wilson's album bridges the generation gap and offers arrangements of substance that will last for an eternity.

First game I remember playing (don't actually remember the name, it was like 24 years ago and I was 4) was one some old apple (think it was an apple anyway) made back before computer has hard drives. All I remember was it involved some astronaut with a gun and I sucked at it. Not long after that it was mario on the original gameboy.

TravelPod Member ReviewsAustin's Chuckwagon Lodge and General Store Torrey
We stayed in one of the fully furnished cabins, which consisted of 2 bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Outside our cabin was our covered porch with plenty of chairs for enjoying the evenings, a grill and picnic table and our own parking spot. The cabin was well appointed, clean and comfortable.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Clean, comfortable rooms. Handy for the amazing Cafe Diablo restaurant and ideally placed for Capitol Reef National Park. Good small store stocking most essentials. We didn't stay in the cabins but they look fun!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We stayed in one of the original rooms which had every comfort. There was free tea and coffee for guests in the store, a coin operated laundry to tidy up our wardrobe and a lovely pool, but it was too chilly to swim. We had lovely frittata and home cooked doughnuts for breakfast in the bakery and would certainly stay agin when we return to see Capital Reef open!

Historical Traveler Reviews Austin's Chuckwagon Lodge and General Store Torrey
A very nice surprise!
With a name like Austin's Chuck Wagon one does not really know what to expect. I had read reviews before going and was rather certain it would be a nice place to stay and wasn't disappointed at all. This is an older style 2 level hotel. Rooms are typical of what you would have found in a 15-20 year old hotel, they have been redone since then but that is the layout of the place. The room was very clean, the heating/airconditioning unit was a bit loud but still very typical of a hotel room. The pool and hot tub were very nice. We were also extremely impressed with the deli, diner, and convenience store. The prices and quality were absolutely fantastic. We ordered hot sandwiches from the deli picked up supplies to make subs the next day from the deli, restocked drinks for our cooler and had a bill of $30!! That was for a family of 4, if the quality of all we had bought wouldn't have been so good the price wouldn't matter but the quality was superb! We also did some laundry while we were here. The laundry facility is located behind the general store, about 75 yards from the hotel. We stayed here after a day at Bryce Canyon and we were on our way to Moab, a good 1/2 way point. We did stop at Capitol Reef National Park which is within minutes of the hotel as well.
Best Hotel in Torrey!!!
Built like a log cabin, nestled among trees. very nice & clean & appears to be only a few years old. Great Bed & fluffy pillows, some of the best sleep on the road. Good A/C. Large bathroom vanity. Do not offer free breakfast, but has free coffee at the general store, which is owned by the same people & is in the parking lot of the lodge. Has a great deli, bakery with fresh donuts, scones, bagels to purchase. All items were delicious. We also had chicken wraps the night before for dinner & they were delicious as well. The store also has items you might need if you are traveling. All personnel were very nice & helpful at both the lodge & the store. Definitely recommend if staying in Torrey, skip the chain hotels & stay at the Chuck Wagon!!! Randy Austin the owner checked me in!!
Nice hotel
stayed at Austin's in May 2005. convenient location - close to Capital Reef National Park. reasonable price. clean room. nice pool area. small grocery store and deli (delicious sandwiches) on the hotel property. Very helpful people.
Good Motel for the money
My wife and I only stayed here one night while visiting Capitol Reef. Our room was on the 2nd floor in the motel part. It was a typical hotel room with 2 queen beds. The room was very clean but the room colors made it feel dark. There's a nice deli/bakery (they make fresh bread) and General store on-site that is very convenient. On the plus side the motel offers a nice pool and hot tub. On the negative side, the motel is located on the main road and at times road noise woke us up.
The staff was friendly and helpful. I would rate "Austin's Chuck Wagon Lodge" a decent value.
Very nice
Stayed here May 10 through 12 while hiking at Capitol Reef National Park. Very nice and our only compaint was that on the first morning there was no hot water - warm but not hot. The motel was full and apparently everyone wanted to take a shower in the AM - so if it's full, get up early to take your shower. The general store was great - especially the deli where you can get great sandwiches to take with you on a hike or where ever. Other places were available - cabins across the road advertised for around $30 per night - don't know how they would be but certainly cheaper and looked ok from the outside.
Capitol Reef is a jewel for day hikes. Particulatly enjoyed the Navajo Knobs and Cassidy Arch trails. Not crowded and, for us Easterners (from SC), very different and unique country. The waterpocket fold is a wonder to behold.
Excellent Spot
Stayed one night in May in the newer two bedroom cabins. Could have easily stayed longer. Spent most of our brief time exploring Capitol Reef, so we didn't use the pool and hottub, although the pool was nice, warm and inviting. Loved the cabin. It was clean and beds were comfortable. Only complaint was fabric softener on linens made me itchy (very allergic to scented laundry products). Enjoyed hanging out on cabin porch listening to rustle of trees at night. Little store very convenient. For a town in the middle of nowhere, it was a really nice stay. Good lodging, excellent food in town, and beautiful scenery as a backdrop to it all. Very unpopulated area, and definitely one of the quietest Parks we have visited (except Canyonlands).
Wish we could of stayed longer
My wife and I only stayed one night (10/10/04)while traveling from Moab, Ut to Bryce Canyon. We had a room on the 2nd floor in the motel part. it was of average size for 2 queen beds and was spotless. The rooms have "Direct TV" with too many channels to count. The deli/bakery and General store on-site is a very convenient. The motel is located in an oasis of large broadleaf trees (I didn't take note to what species) that also line that section of Route 24. We were there for only one night and didn't have much time to explore the town. The staff was very friendly and helpful when asked to deal with a bathroom fan that was left on in a room below ours. My wife was kind of worried when I told her we would be staying "Austin's Chuck Wagon Lodge" but we had a very good time at Austin's. My only complaint is that our stay there was far too brief.
Great place!
We've stayed here several times in the fall. It's a great location in the middle of town. We've stayed in the "Family Room" which is huge!! Has 3 bedrooms, living room & a full kitchen. It's a little worn, but wonderful for the price. We've also stayed in the brand new cabins...spotless clean! They're great! The pool and hot tub feel really good after a day in the park. The store has almost everything you need. Torrey is a pretty little town. It does tend to close up tight in the early fall, but as long as Capitol Reef is still open, we'll be there!
Loved the Chuck Wagon Lodge!
While traveling to the National Parks in Utah and Arizona, we stayed at Austin's Chuck Wagon Lodge in Torrey. What a pleasant stay it was! The accommodations were clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the food in the deli was delicious. It gets a "thumbs up" on all counts.
Great gem
I was recommending this place to a friend and I was surprised to see that it has not been reviewed in this site.
We were there two years ago and had a great time. The room was clean and the pool was great to enjoy after exploring the national parks. The people at the lodge and the store are very pleasant.
This place is great value, and the town of Torrey is unforgettable.

• We performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized 12-week trial of desipramine hydrochloride treatment of cocaine dependence among methadonemaintained patients. Fifty-nine patients completed the 12-week medication trial (36 received desipramine and 23 received placebo), and 94% were recontacted 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment. There were significantly more dropouts in the desipramine than in the placebo group. Baseline to 12-week comparisons of Addiction Severity Index interview data indicated that both groups showed improvements. At 12 weeks, the desipramine group showed significantly better psychiatric status than the placebo group but did not differ from the placebo group on any of 21 other outcome measures, including cocaine use. During the 12-week medication phase and at the 1-month follow-up evaluation, urine toxicology screenings showed no significant difference between groups, but the placebo group had significantly less cocaine use at both the 3- and 6-month follow-up points. We conclude that desipramine has few benefits with regard to control of cocaine use in this population.

It is not uncommon to see real cowboys in the communities where cattle are part of the economy.
I don't mean posing in the street like gunfighters in Tombstone, or passing out casino fliers on a corner in Las Vegas during rodeo week, but in the middle-school parking lot picking up their kids, in the latte drive-up, or at the lumber store.
One lady told of seeing two authentic-looking cowboys strolling up the aisle at Safeway. She described them as wearing "dusty jeans, 10 gallon hats, and well-worn boots with jangling spurs."
"What could they be buying in here?" she wondered. "Probably beer and tobacco."
Personally, my first thought was Metamucil, Prilosec or Ben Gay.
But our lady of this story made a point to follow these two cowboys through the checkout and saw them leave, "strutting" out the door, carrying under their arms four jumbo-size boxes of disposable diapers.
I can immediately see the misconceptions she might have had; that these two cowboys each had a toddler at home and were forced under the threat of NO SUPPER-NO CLEAN SOCKS-NO ROPING PRACTICE and ENFORCEMENT OF THE THREE-FOOT RULE unless they made the didy run.
However, for the lady's benefit, I can think of many more logical reasons they were on a diaper-buying mission.
For instance, Huggies are quite handy as blinders on a bad horse when he won't let you swing up, OR for keeping stray mongrels from bothering your good blue heeler female when she's in season, OR placing over a bull's nose for the same reason, OR to tape on like boxing gloves around the wrists of your daughter's boyfriend before a date.
It could be that these two rustic cowboys were using the nappies for protection in some contact sport to wrap knees, elbows or feet.
Maybe they were skinny, pot-bellied, hair-stickin'-up team ropers who were trying out for the sumo wrestling team.
It also is possible they lacked enough natural padding and long hours in the saddle made their seat bones sore.
They could be wadding up the diapers and wearing them like their old bareback pad (for the really skinny, it takes two!).
Author's note:
There are many, much more logical reasons a cowboy would be buying disposable diapers than the obvious one. As ornamentation, wild rag, hat cover, ear muffs, saddle pad, pillow, hanky, coin purse, saddle bag, bed roll, small Batman cape, blindfold, face mask, moustache protector, and handy wipe in case your horse poops on the carpet.
I, myself, use it in my lunch box to carry my soup. But not like you might think. I just saturate the Pamper with chicken noodle. I can wring it out into a cup when I'm ready or just chew on it now and then as a treat.

If you are confused by the evolving, rapidly changing, and dynamic nature of the Next Generation Sequencing market, then this is the course for you. This course will provide you with a comprehensive, clear outline of the various sequencing technologies currently available, their best suited applications, and which analysis strategies go with what applications in order to get the best answer from the data.
About this Product:1 Presentation73 SlidesOver 78 minutes
Agenda At A Glance:
Biography: Matthias Scherf is Managing Director of Genomatix Software GmbH. He studied informatics and did his Ph.D. and post-doctoral work at the GSF (Gesellschaft für Umwelt und Gesundheitsforschung) in Munich. He joined Genomatix in the year 2000, first as Head of Research in Bioinformatics and since 2009 as Managing Director. Genomatix offers solutions and services for the entire course of sequence analysis from first level mapping to integrating multiple results with copious high-quality data background. Their technologies for visualisation and interpretation enable scientists worldwide to turn their data into meaningful results.
About the Conference:
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has expanded our fundamental understanding of genomics, mutation, gene function and regulation, by delivering fast, precise, and large volumes of data. As the cost of sequencing declines, use in academic, biotech, medical, pharmaceutical, and ag-bio labs expands, paving the way for the creation of innovative new areas for bioresearch. Still, the question remains of how best to balance cost, quantity and quality when choosing a sequencing platform or service. Cambridge Healthtech Institute's NGx: Applying Next-Generation Sequencing investigates the expanding applications of NGS. Learn from experienced researchers from large sequencing centers, core laboratories, and specialized groups as they share their practical knowledge, real-world experiences and solutions.

I feel like I've seen some posts here from providers mentioning a parent having a day off and sending the child to care anyway so they can have some personal time or take care of some things. Is this really frowned upon? With my provider, if I pull my kids on a normally scheduled day, I have to pay anyway. So I do still send them and take care of appointments or something better done while the kids were gone, like having the carpets cleaned. Am I doing something wrong or annoying?
personally I dont have a problem with it. I have 2 small children of my own with a 3rd on the way and I know somethings are better to be done without them in tow. As long as a) it is a normally scheduled day and b) Im being paid I don't care what the parent is doing. To me its none of my buisness. Now you if you are trying to drop them off on a day I dont have other kids and it was not your childs scheduled day either I may be annoyed because I too have things to do when I am "off" or if you send a kid sick(ive had that happen) otherwise I think it is fine to send them if you are off and have other appts etc to tend to.
Kristin wife to Kurt 28 mommy to P 02/09 , A 01/11 and D 03/13
It can be a slippery slope with some providers. I think it becomes an issue if you end up dropping off early or picking up late. A lot of the lateness comes from parents taking a nap (which can be much needed) and not having an alarm on so they become super late which in turn makes the provider late for or miss appointments they may have had after the normal pick up time.
I had a really big problem with this when EVERY parent was doing it and being late all the time. I started resenting them because I was missing appointments, dinner out with my DH, my kids were super cranky because dinner was pushed back, etc. I started late fees and never had the problem again. Now, I don't have a problem with it as much because people aren't taking advantage of me anymore.
no, i'd never ever send them sick or on a day we weren't scheduled...i've spent this entire pregnancy sick because other parents send their sick children and then mine bring it home to me! lol! ok, i was just wondering. my provider has never seemed the least bit annoyed since she is being paid and it is a normal day, but i wanted to make sure.
As a parent, I always wonder too. I try, whenever possible, to drop LO off at a regular scheduled time or just a little later and then complete my things quickly, so I pick her up after her nap time. I know that the provider would appreciate that and she's a really great provider, so I have no problems with it. Plus, I can't stand to be without my love bug if I don't have to.

Just make sure you pick up on time or even early ;)
Yes, I finally went anon.....
My MIL would be exrememly annoyed by this- maybe it was more of a jealousy issue. The parents are out doing who knows what. Honestly, if you are paying for the care it should not be the providers business what the parents are doing as long as there are following the pick-up and drop-off time guidelines
I personally don't mind it either but I do think that some providers get annoyed because parents who work full time have little time in the evening with their kids and weekends are so busy it just seems. So if parents do have a day off providers feel that they should want to spend it with their kids, whether or not they have to pay. KWIM? I understand having appts and such but if its a reg day off and you are just going to be hanging out at home or whatever then why would you not want your kids just to stay home too.. I am sure they would like a "day off" as well once in a while :) Like I said, I don't usually mind but the excuse "because I have to pay anyway" kind of bugs me!! Isn't time with your child more important?? Plus you are prob being paid for your day off as well.. Not trying to start a debate or anything like that OP just trying to answer your question honestly!
SAH Mom (35) to Andrew 18 Payton 11 Madison 10 Emily 9 Leah 4 Sophie 3
when this happens in my case, pick up and drop off times are always the same as usual because DH is the drop off guy and he's on a regular work day. my hours are early & late so he is the go-to guy. definitely could never do this weekly....i think i've done it twice this year.
PP i understand your point asbout having to pay anyway VS time with the kids. i definitely don't do this so i can nap or just hang out at home alone. i enjoy my kids and they're not a pain to me, and i wish i was a SAHM. i've only done it when i honestly had something i needed to do alone.
Yes once in a while is fine!! Don't get me wrong, we would all like a day to ourselves to go shopping or whatever. But I really think some parents do this A LOT! Those are the providers that are upset!! Maybe even jealous.. because we don't, well at least I don't get a random day off and when I do I still have my 6 kids in tow so I never get to run errands alone or clean the house alone. I am totally used to it though and I don't really mind but I do know a couple providers in my area that just cringe when a parent says "i have tomorrow off but I am bringing dck anyway because I need to clean" I just laugh myself but a certain provider I know just gets mad! She is like "I clean all the time with several kids around!" Which I totally get too... It doesn't sound like that is what you are doing so I am sure your provider is fine with it!! Like I said, its more about the people who really seem like they would rather send their kids to daycare than have to take care of them on a day off..
SAH Mom (35) to Andrew 18 Payton 11 Madison 10 Emily 9 Leah 4 Sophie 3
OP, the majority of the parents that frequent this board (you included) are not the type of parent we complain about!
It's the extreme situations - like one parent being unemployed, yet bringing child to daycare every.single.day from open to close. In the beginning (before I knew better) I had a family that BOTH parents were unemployed, yet they brought their kid 4 days a week for 10 hours. They paid me with their cash assistance they got from the government, then went home and slept all day. I would never take a family like that now.
I have one family now that is always on time, pays on time, and all around a good family. So if mom takes a day off to get things done I don't care.
I have another family that I will never again do a favor for, including staying open if myself or my kids are really sick. I had the flu and was miserable, I opened because I thought both parents had to work , yet it turns out they were BOTH off and brought their kid, even though they knew I was sick. Jerks, IMO.
