[quote][i]Originally posted by beb48[/i] [br]Beautiful weekend. Today it's ugly, dark, grey, raining and getting colder. Chance of flurries. What a difference a day makes! My daughter and grandson worked in the yard over the weekend. She decided it was the perfect time to do some trimming - not overrun with poison ivy, weeds, nothing. You could actually see what you're cutting down. The little one played outside, and I opened windows again. At night we shut them as it got colder. Didn't lose anything last week, but I didn't gain. I hate bad sleep nights. I'm one who really needs my sleep. Sure could have been the moon. We had a full moon Friday night. It was beautiful. Northern Lights. Oh, they're so pretty. I saw them only once. I'd love to see them again. Take care. Glad to hear insurance is on its way. If you have a stigmatism with one of your eyes, I'll bet that was your problem. There's always something. Have a great week. [/quote]

Hi, I think this is a great place but I am a little bummed out on the very little responses it has. I notice there are a lot of lookers but very few respond. I think maybe we all can do better if we get more active and keep the boards interesting by sharing. We can talk about anything it doesn't have to all be about weight it could be anything like something funny, family, friends a situation. Please join me and create some great conversations! Thank you and together we can do this!

C'mon gals....where is everyone?! Beb? Harley? I'm getting worried now!
Posted - 09/08/2013 : 9:23:31 PM
Uff! Been forever since I've been able to get on here! The opening went well for the room. Now, the kids aren't napping at ALL, which is not good. Those babies need naps real bad. But...the upside is they sleep all nite for the folks! Bad thing...I'm not able to do any kind of office work that I need to do all week since none of the kids nap. So, I had to go in this weekend to do that kind of thing to kind of keep up with it. Not too sure if that's gonna go on for long!

I'm tired. I've been working on a Wellness Program for our medical plan. That's work. We have one, but I'm working on 'beefing it up.' Everything that crosses my desk on medical, which is a lot, proclaims Wellness Programs as the greatest thing since sliced bread. OK. I'll work on it. But my eyes are tired and burning right now. Too much.
Glad you've been able to get in the building finally. That has to help you out some. Great idea having one of the helpers over to work with the kids, get used to them. Good for everyone, including you.
So your son has returned to school. It's tough getting back to the old schedule. Mine started on the 12th. She loves it. My GS started this week on Monday. He's enjoying it too, but then he's taking 'his favorite' courses - computer courses.
Have a great weekend.
Posted - 08/19/2013 : 9:14:49 PM
Here I am! Been able to get into the building finally to start getting things going. Now I have my kids back this week, but I'm having one of the helpers come to the house to get used to the kids while I go back & forth to the building to do whatever I need to there. It's gonna be interesting here the next 2 weeks I'll tell you that!
School starts tomorrow, he's dragging his feet, most definitely. Uff, tomorrow's gonna be such a struggle!

A bike show sounds like fun. Labor Day. It will be here before we know it. Couple of weeks.
12 hour shifts. I feel like I'm dragging after a regular week these days. I'm hoping to semi-retire next year. I want to work, but only PT. I don't want to wait to retire until I'm too sick to enjoy it. That's happened to so many people in my family.
I've had sinus problems, but that isn't anything major. This summer has been nice, not too hot or humid. Somehow it has effected my sinuses though. Certainly could be worse.
Jenjs, how's the daycare going? Working inside yet? Is your son back in school yet?
My GD started Monday, 8/12. Isn't that unbelievable? It gets earlier and earlier every year. My GS goes back to college on Monday the 19th. I 'return' to work!
Have a great weekend.

Bought somemore chrome roses for the bike we have a bike show comming up in sept.over labor day may take and enter it would be a first for me but everyone thinks the bike is all me.I really do love it.No sturgis this year been there 3 times it is something to see and also some really pretty places to see.Your niece sounds like alot of fun.your right would probably hit it off.
Doing 12 hr shifts yesterday and 2 for next week that I know of maybe more.Sounds you both are really busy.just stay on top and somehow you'll see the finish line.Take care and stay safe.
Posted - 08/05/2013 : 09:41:06 AM
I hope that very soon you can get into the building and get on with your work and with your life. Unfortunately, our lives do revolve to a great extent around our work. Approvals for this, that, etc. seem to take forever.
Removing wallpaper. OMG! That would be a nightmare. I only have it in one room, kitchen, and that's only a border. I'd hate to have to take it down in other rooms. I've been looking at paint samples. I need to get on the stick, off my buns, and get the paint and get to painting. I'd kind of like to wait until the windows can be open though.
Made it to the gym over the weekend for water walking. I'm back to that. I need to exercise. So I decided to rejoin the gym. Water walking is what I like best.
This has been an unbelievable summer so far. So very different from last year - thank God. It's nice out this morning, but it's going to rain.
Get back in here when you can, Harley!
Hang in there, jenjs.
Posted - 08/01/2013 : 4:12:13 PM
I'm so glad that Harley had checked in! Now, if she can just keep it up....
Sturgis is comin up here very soon, like the end of this week I believe. I know of quite a few people goin there. I could easily see Harley going. So, Harley.....plan on taking the trek to Sturgis?! I don't think I could do it. I know hubs would want to just for the law enforcement side of it, to see how they deal with all of that.
As for the new daycare, I'm pretty much at a standstill right now. I can't do anything else from home. I have to be able to get into the building to finish up what I need to do for licensing. This sitting on my tush is getting old! I'm ready for the real work of it now! Let me get to it! I'm antsy already!
Now, as for the house. Sheesh. I still don't have my tub I so desperately need. I'm in the process of trying, repeat, TRYING to remove old wallpaper border & it's going to be the death of me. I did find the process of doing it. The 1st room...no prob. Easy. The 2nd room, well, it's gonna be the death of me! I'm not sure if it was the glue, or the paper itself, or the wall texture or just all of it together but I spent all day yesterday on it & I still don't have it finished. I was hoping to get 3 rooms all done yesterday.....HA! Boy was I totally off on that. My neck, shoulders & back are killing me, specially my neck. Uff.
HA! The tread.....poor thing is down in the basement, never been touched since we moved! Some days I really should go down there & hop on it, but I just can't get the gumption to do it. Not good!
Posted - 07/29/2013 : 10:08:52 AM
Harley????!!! Do my eyes deceive me? I am so happy that you posted. You have to stop worrying jenjs and me. You have been one busy woman with all the work you've been doing 'at work' as well as at 'home.' You bike sounds beautiful. I'll bet that makes you happy.
My niece stopped by yesterday to see me. She used to live here in town, but moved 125 mi from here by her mom. That's where I want to move eventually. My niece absolutely loves bikes. She was in town for a poker run. When they have one, she finds one of her buddies here and comes up for the weekend. I'll bet the 2 of you would get along beautifully. Different things you say make me think the 2 of you are a lot alike. She loves jeans, tank tops, t-shirts, hoodies, boots. She had her 'biker boots' on yesterday. She's absolutely adorable. A heart as big as all outdoors and was heading home to her son. She's a laborer, with her dad. Hard work and she was complaining about all the aches and pains that are 'making her old.' Right. She's 33. Old?? Me thinks not!
Jenjs, you're still working away on the new daycare. I've never done anything like that before, but I'll bet there's a tremendous amount of work. Then there are building codes that you have to be aware of and heaven help you if you mess up. Electrical, plumbing . . . it could be a nightmare.
So how's the new house coming? Are you getting used to it? Do all of you enjoy it? How about the treadmill; is it set up in the basement or have you even had time for it?
I rejoined the gym. I miss my water walking. So I joined again. I figure 'I deserve it.' I'm beginning to lose weight again too. Alleluia.
It's great to have you back with us, Harley.
Posted - 07/27/2013 : 6:37:19 PM

Posted - 07/17/2013 : 3:09:57 PM
HARLEY!! HARLEY HARLEY HARLEY! So happy to have seen you check in with us! We've missed you! Hope that you're doin much better, sounds like it by the way you're talkin. And still have the German's around, that's a way to keep ya on your toes!
Here we're already in mid-July already. By the time ya know it we'll have the friggin white stuff on the ground. We will here! Today it's 66 outside, I know right?! I love it! Since we don't have the A/C here at the new place it's a gift, it really is. I do think we'll be able to handle this summer just fine if it keeps up like this! The humidity is heavy here & that I'm so not used to. At all. Even at 50%, it's not much really, but when you're used to anywhere between 15-25%, it's a huge difference!
I'm still trying to get things worked up for this new daycare but we're nowhere near ready for moving into or anything. I'm getting a little leary of it all. Trying to get time with the boss to go over stuff is pulling teeth. She's one busy woman & with building a new place, she's even more so. I can't really do anything else with no building to get into or even a timeframe of when we can get into it. So I'll just be sitting around doing nothing for awhile I'm afraid.
And Harley, I do hope you can stick around for awhile this time!!
Posted - 07/16/2013 : 8:53:31 PM
Well well looks like you both are still here.I did'nt fall off the face of the earth just seems like it.We have been working 7 days a week going in at 4am on sundays and lots of 12 hr shifts during the week.German guys were here for a week they spent lots of time out at our place.Have new equipment being put in so lots of work and lots of changes.
Have 6 new calves,had 12 little goats,40 new baby chickens,3 new baby peacocks,30 guinnes and a partragie in a pear tree.got all the hay up so wont have to worry about running out this winter seems like i just can't get caught up by the time i get home and chores done i'm ready for bed.
I had an old camero that I traded to a guy for a new paint job on my Harley just got it back yesterday it is a dark cherry with lots of metal flack and the tanks have silver roses on them the back fender has a rose and butterfly and the front has a single rose on it first time I'v had a bike that was custom made just for little ole me.the guys at work told me not to go to girly on it or it would'nt be me they all said it looked really good and fit me to a tee.Don't knw any thing else so will get glad to see you both are ok and hope you have a nice summer.Take care.
Posted - 07/15/2013 : 1:46:47 PM
A playful ghost . . . well, that's fun. You sound happy. That's good. You also sound busy. That's good too. You'd be bored if you weren't busy.
I can't believe it's been over 2 weeks since I've checked in. Time flies and it flies faster in the summer. 4th of July came and went. Then I don't know what's gone on since then - other than a lot of work here and at home. Life's so different in the summer.
I miss the pool in the backyard. My daughter didn't put it up this year because she and the kids have passes to what's called 'Splash City.' It's a waterpark. So why put the pool up. Fine. I'm not in the mood to do all the work for it either. I had dropped my membership to the gym. So guess what - I'm joining again. I love the water walking. I'm getting 'steps' in. I have my Fitbit (a glorified pedometer, but I love it.). It isn't enough though. I'm losing weight, but I need more exercise. So it will be back to the gym. I've got to get there this week and join.
It's been hot and humid here. I hate humidity. Just hate it. But that's summer in the Midwest.
I'm glad you're enjoying your new home - ghost and all. How's the new job going?
I'll try to do better and write more often.
Posted - 06/27/2013 : 3:48:35 PM
I swear I thought I wrote a reply.....We do have a gadget ghost in this house. I'll explain...
First thing: Our doorbell was broken. The ringer was busted outside so no one could press it, therefore no doorbell. Well, one night we were in the kitchen having dinner & the doorbell goes off. I thought nothing of it & went to the door. Then I remembered---broken. Uff!
Second: The kitchen has been added onto, so everything is pretty much all new (within 5 yrs). I get everything all set up & go to use the can opener one day...doesn't work. Okay, so I move it to another outlet. Doesn't work. Works in only 1 outlet. Whaaa? But now...all the outlets work-----someone's playing.
Third: This just started today. Hubs got himself a new sporty car. Has a fancy remote keyring & all that kind of stuff, ok. SO I'm in one of the front rooms with the kids & all of a sudden I hear the remote making this weird noise. I thought maybe hubs was home & messing around or something. Nope. Huh. It did it again not even an hr later. I swear, someone's having a good ol time & it's only with me, not when everyone's around!!! Well, except the doorbell the 1st time, we all heard it then.
At least we finally have the internet all back. Just have to get my tub, but I have a feeling that may take til fall, ugh. I can't handle that thought.
Posted - 06/21/2013 : 3:19:04 PM
I've been very busy at work. I can't believe it's been so long since I checked in. I had an audit that I just finished. Now I was advised of one coming mid-August. I have time, but there's so much prep work involved.
Glad you're all moved in. I like bubble baths. I know what you mean. During the week it's usually a quick shower in the morning and I take more time when I'm off work.
How's the new job? Moving, getting settled in a new home, getting used to a new job, problems with Internet - you have your hands full. I guess all you can do is take it one day at a time. That's it.
I'm beginning to think that Harley will not check in again. I hope there isn't anything wrong though.
Enjoy your new home.
Posted - 06/17/2013 : 10:42:40 PM
Sorry I haven't checked in for so long! I still don't have regular internet, I have to resort to stealing from my sister or from neighbors or going to free Wi-Fi places. It really is getting to be a royal pain in the butt. No matter how many times I call the place to moan about them not coming when they were supposed to exchange the stuff, it makes no difference. Uff, sooo frustrated!!!
But finally all moved in. Need to get a bathtub installed still, which I'm sure will still take weeks to come. I absolutely hate showers! This is very hard for me to say the least. I'm totally having tub withdrawls.
It's been a tough week so far in the new house!!
Posted - 06/06/2013 : 4:35:46 PM
The days fly by. Too bad you have nothing but mud and can't play in the yard this summer. I too hope the move is worth it. I'm sure it will be for the best.
I do believe Harley has totally forgotten us. And we're so adorable!
Good luck with the move. Glad you had a great time with your oldest. The mountains - oh, I do love them. There's nothing as gorgeous as the mountains. I don't live near any, but I have been on vacations and seen them. I fell in love with them years ago.
Good luck!
Posted - 05/30/2013 : 3:45:34 PM
The trip is always good! Always hard to come back to this ugly, ugly place after being in such beautiful mountains & of course being with my oldest. I do miss him so.
We have rain, yet again. We will all thru the weekend it calls for. A big mud hole in the backyard. The new owners are starting work on a garage so there's lots of digging & lots of mess now. Thought it was bad before....it's triple that now for the dogs. Uff. How I hate that! Over at the new house won't be any better at all. That backyard is getting all ripped apart too. So I can't plant or do anything probably at all this year. Too much going on.
Next weekend is the big move, yuck! Lord how I hate having to do all of that again. Just the thought of it makes me cringe. And so much work we have to do inside & outside both, gives me the willies. Just hope it ends up being worth it all in the long run.
I'm beginning to wonder what happened to our Harley girl. She's dropped off again!
Posted - 05/28/2013 : 4:39:12 PM
The days are going faster and faster. I can't believe I haven't been in here in over a week.
How was your trip to Wyoming? I'm sure you had a good time and that it was wonderful to see your oldest son.
The weather has been nice here. The weekend was cool actually - 60's, which I love, but it isn't great for everyone who wants to swim beginning Memorial weekend. It's warming up.
I haven't planted a lot, and what I did plant it's in pots. Makes life easier and the ground/soil just isn't that great at my house. It's an old mining town. My mom always told me there's too much coal in the soil. It's taken me all these years, but guess what -she was right!
I wouldn't want to pack up and move, but you will be so happy with your new home - more room for one thing.
Yes, it's way past time for harley to jump in and say 'Hi gals! Life's good, but I've been busy. The chickens (whatever), the cow (whatever). I miss hearing about her critters.
Posted - 05/15/2013 : 4:01:07 PM
I have a spare second or two so I thought I'd pop in!
Hope you had a great mom's day. Kiddo & I went to Minot. Hubs had to be on call so he couldn't leave town. Oh well, we had a nice day anyways. Hubs always says I'm not his mother anyhow. That's the kind of guy he is. Not very, what's the word I want to use....not really emotional. Not really sure what to use! He can be very emotional at times, almost very diva-ish even! So, he's just an odd duck, we'll just say that.
I'm not planting or anything until we're all done & moved. Ugh. I hate the thought of it even. We're having a fence put up, so the lawn will be dug up & all, so I won't even bother messing with trying to get a decent lawn until mid June if even then. Yuck. I hate moving!!!
My allergies have really kicked my butt this year & I don't really get why. It was way bad last week, I thought it was the end of me for sure. About time it started to go away a bit, I was really hating getting up in the mornings! Plus taking care of 4 small ones on top of that, yuck. Last week was not a good one at all.
Harley does need to get her butt in here & check in!
Hope you too have a good weekend. Next week kiddo & I are off to Wyo!! Can't wait to go see my oldest baby!!

There's a home away from home in London for families of Olympians.
P&G House, sponsored by Procter & Gamble, is a place for Olympic families to eat, play and watch the Summer Games without spending a dime.
Team USA boxer Joseph Diaz Jr. got some pre-fight pampering at P&G House.
"(I'm) just getting a little trim up, because I was growing a little hair," he said.
Diaz and his family are spending time at the place just for athletes and the people they love.
"It's really great for my family to come here whenever they feel like it," he said.
"There's a salon, there's this man cave, and for little babies, there's a Pampers playground," said Caroline Baehr, a friend
One of the most popular areas is a space where friends and families can lounge on couches and pillows while watching their favorite Olympian compete.
"I'd honestly rather watch it here, because I feel like it's our family. Everyone is from the U.S. So it's awesome," said Olympic family member Lauren Lecompte.
Swimmer Breeja Larson's grandmother scored swimming tickets in a drawing at P&G House.
"The exciting thing is I could hear it in my head, and then when they called it, it was real," she said.
Following an Olympian around the world isn't cheap.
"It took a lot of fundraising, a lot of people donating, and thank God we were able to get enough money to get here," said Joseph Diaz Sr.
The families said they welcome all the help they can get.
The U.S. delegation gives Olympic families only a couple of tickets to watch their athletes compete, so they're on their own if they want more seats.

Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
Jeff Burton confident and motivated in latter of Cup career
July 18, 2013
Jeff Burton enjoys racing. He doesn't enjoy losing, but he willingly accepts the challenge of getting better to become a serious Chase for the Sprint Cup contender.
So far, the enjoyment of the challenge keeps him motivated as he tries to show that he won't end his career with 21 Cup victories—that instead more wins are in his future. Burton sits 17th in the Sprint Cup standings, a year after back-to-back seasons where he finished 20th and 19th. The 46-year-old hasn't won a race since October of 2008 in Charlotte, a drought of 168 races.
He knows other drivers knock on the door of Richard Childress Racing wondering if his seat is available.
But he has no plans on stepping aside with a contract many believe goes through 2014—a contract that Burton characterizes as "long-term" when asked.
"I got on an airplane last night excited to be here," Burton said in his race hauler last week. "If you're not excited about being here and looking forward the challenge, it truly is time to let somebody do it that is. This isn't a right. This is a privilege to be here.
"I'm one of 500 people at RCR. And I have to pull my share of the load. If I can't pull my share of the load and I don't bring an amount of enthusiasm and willingness, then how the hell could I ask anybody else to?"
There's no doubt that Burton has incredible respect within the garage and from the public. He is considered a driver authority on safety and can explain complex NASCAR issues with ease for the public to understand.
With new television contracts going into effect in 2015 and Burton's ability to talk effectively about racing, it would almost be a natural move if Burton goes from behind the wheel to behind the camera—especially if a new network (NBC) ends up with some coverage of Cup races.
Burton spent time in the ESPN booth earlier this year during a Nationwide telecast, from which he had good reviews on social media.
But he's not ready for such a move. He believes that his Luke Lambert-led crew is improving. And the record shows that.
Lambert is in his first full season as a Cup crew chief and more than half the team is new to working together at the Cup level. RCR has also established new processes when it comes to building cars and race preparation under new competition director Eric Warren.
"I've enjoyed the process and enjoyed the new energy and new excitement," Burton said. "It's a fine line between pushing too hard and being too patient. You can't just be making changes all the time, and that's kind of what we've been doing the last three years.
"You have no cohesiveness. You have no rhythm. At some point, things have got to just settle down. This group of people is capable, there's no doubt in my mind."
The progress is evident. He started the year with two top-10s and six finishes of 20th or worse in the first 11 races. Over the last eight, he has two top-10s and just one finish worse than 20th.
"We certainly aren't where we want to be," Burton said. "We've had a lot of issues struggling finishing races because of wrecks. That's really put us in a big hole.
"What's been difficult about those is I'm the one that is responsible for making sure the car doesn't get wrecked. … A lot of those wrecks, I don't know how we'd miss."
The biggest improvement has come on the intermediate tracks. Burton was 19th at Kentucky after some late damage to one of the fenders.
He sees potential to have more top-five finishes as he did Sunday at New Hampshire (third)—his first top-three finish at a non-restrictor-plate track since September 2010 at Dover.
"I've never gotten to the point where I've said I'm done with the fight, I'm done with the journey," Burton said. "That is part of it.
"Although that is not the enjoyable part of it, that is part of it—going through those struggles and how you come out of them and getting your (butt) knocked on the ground and picking it back up."
At some point, though, he'll get back up. But the top rides will go to other drivers who are younger, better or full of more potential.
What then? Is the television booth an option? Burton said he doesn't want to leave the sport and wouldn't mind trying to explain what is going on in the haulers, in the garage and on the racetrack.
But Burton does not envision such a transition as an easy one, and he doesn't assume network producers even want him.
"I have to be willing to take on that responsibility of understanding what's going on and doing a good job of explaining what's going on and making sure I'm educated about it," Burton said. "If I do it, I want to do it right. I don't want to do it (halfway).
"I don't know if people are interested in me or not. If people are interested in me doing it, then I'd like to sit down and talk to them but I don't know if people want me to do it or not. I have a lot of fans tell me they want me to do it, but they're not the ones making the decisions."
For now, he's happy in the racecar.
"Don't get me wrong, when we take a seventh-place car and finish 19th with it (like Kentucky), I'm pissed," Burton said. "I ain't happy. It isn't all fun. But I'm damn sure the opposite of miserable."

Elderly parents in China can now take their adult children to court if they feel neglected or ignored, according to The Associated Press.
China's national legislature passed an amendment to an existing law on care of the elderly Friday mandating adults visit their parents "often," although exactly how frequently elderly parents need to be visited to avoid a lawsuit wasn't spelled out in the legislation, according to the AP.
The new law comes after several cases of elderly parents being ignored or abused have gained national attention and fueled anger on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, according to Xinhua, China's state-run news agency.
In one case, a doctor was ultimately suspended from his job at a hospital after he refused to contribute the equivalent of $240 a month to help his sister cover the cost of caring for their mother. In another, a son and daughter-in-law were accused of beating a 91-year-old woman when she requested porridge instead of noodles, according to Xinhua.
Treatment of the elderly has been a hot topic in China as the country's population ages. Thirty percent of China's population is expected to be over the age of 60 by the middle of the century, according to Xinhua.

Of Ballplayers, Fan Interaction, Social Networking…and an Orange Speedo??
It all started with an orange speedo…or rather the search for one, as in "Mike Napoli Orange Speedo." No, I wasn't the one looking for this, but I started getting search engine hits using this phrase and had to laugh. Initially, I assumed that the legends of Mike Napoli, man's man, ladies' man, man about town (gee, can you tell I've been watching Down with Love?😉 ) were finding new inspiration in Texas. But eventually a hash tag clued me in to the fact that this was a Twitter thing. Apparently Naps has been ending most of tweets with #orangespeedo. Color me amused…and also clueless so, hey, if any Ranger fans in the know would like enlighten us, feel free.🙂
Tracking down the story behind this goofy micro-trending topic got me thinking about Twitter in general and baseball players who tweet in particular. We've all heard the wonderful stories of the relaxed atmosphere fans enjoyed around the ballpark during baseball's Golden Age, how baseball players and fans used to casually interact more regularly. My grandfather and his friends used to shag balls for the minor league Angels during batting practice. My father-in-law remembers being among the random kids who were invited down onto the field to play catch with one another and some of the ballplayers before Hollywood Stars games. Now those were minor league teams, at the time the only baseball we had in Los Angeles, but I have heard similar stories about major league teams on the lucky-to-have-them east coast. The father of a friend and a few of his buddies were occasional Brooklyn Dodgers bat boys, not because they were anyone special. Quite the opposite in fact: because they were neighborhood kids who hung around Ebbets all the time.
It's not as if the average fan developed close, personal friendships with baseball players in the Golden Age but there was definitely a greater feeling of closeness than, say, I experienced in my youth. Fans got to learn a little bit about the players as people from their own small interactions with them, or from a friend or family member's interactions with them. When I went to ballgames as a child and a teen, the players were certainly nice to the fans, with plenty of smiles for the kids especially. But I definitely envy the chattier atmosphere enjoyed by earlier generations.
I think Twitter and other social media brings a little bit of this closeness back to the player/fan relationship. As with the Golden Age, the average fan is not going to develop a close personal friendship with his or her favorite players over Twitter. But, depending on how they choose to tweet, we can learn a little bit more about them as people. A lot of it is every bit as unentertaining as our thoughts are to other people. But some of it is sweet, funny or interesting. Mike Napoli and Torii Hunter still talking a little trash over who is the reigning dominoes king of the Angels clubhouse – my money's on Torii😉. Howie Kendrick has taken up photography and, like CJ Wilson, occasionally shares his work with the fans on Twitter. And so on. In a way, this is even more casual and relaxed than what our grandparents experienced…just not in person.
Sadly, just as insurance and safety concerns along with fans venturing to the ballpark in greater and greater numbers brought an end to the casual chats and games of catch of the Golden Age, easy Twitter access to ballplayers is bound to come to an end at some point. As more and more people get Twitter accounts and begin following their teams and others, instances of jokes or comments take out of context or just plain taken the wrong way will increase, the occasional truly inappropriate breach of clubhouse confidentiality will occur, or something else will happen (perhaps even an outright MLB rule requiring such😦 ) that will lead to players keeping their public accounts very bland and public relations-ish indeed, or shutting them down altogether. So it's best to enjoy it while it lasts. Just think, eventually our grandchildren will listen to our glory days stories and exclaim in a mixture of awe and disbelief "You mean they really used to tease each other and crack jokes and post their favorite workout mixes and stuff right there on the Internet for everyone to see?! Wow, you were so lucky!" …you know, after we re-explain such quaint technologies as the Internet and Twitter to them for the 14th time.

Does this mean I won't be able to make fun of how stupid Logan Morrison is anymore? I remember when Barry Zito blocked me from his Twitter. I was devastated not knowing he was practicing Nickelback songs on his guitar.
No Jeff, clearly you owe it society to continue.😉 I didn't mean that isolated criticism or certain twitterers…er tweeters?…er twits? ;)…mocking ballplayers will bring it crashing down eventually. It's more the inevitability of a ballplayer tweet or few turning into a (stupid) PR nightmare that reaches the papers, gets rehashed on all of the talk shows and so on when some hyper-"moral" sensitive snowflake type who should really keep their delicate feelings off the internet becomes absolutely appalled at the shocking discovery that young men like girls, alcohol and crass humor.
Yes, most of what they tweet is dumb, much like any average tweeter I would wager. But I do hear a few cool fan interaction stories here and there…still not enough to drive me to get a Twitter account mind you.
— Kristen
I have fought the Twitter revolution for awhile and still don't see myself getting one anytime soon. But I will admit it does serve as a way for otherwise low key guys like Mike Napoli to show off their fun side. But like Jeff points out, I'm not one of those people who lays awake all night wondering what my favourite celeb is doing this very second.
I don't have an account yet myself, Bluejaysnest. I'm starting to test the waters a little bit because I'm in corporate communications and marketing and if twitter continues to be a thing eventually I'll be expected to know how to do this stuff. (It's what finally drove me to Facebook a year or so ago.) I'd ask if anyone were really the sort of person to lie awake at night wondering what their favorite celeb is up to, but I live in La La land and have worked with a few too many TMZ addicts not to know the sad truth.
— Kristen
Can't say I have any desire to join Twitter (Facebook is enough of a time sponge). Did you ever find out the significance of the orange speedo? It brought to mind the song "Tangerine Speedo", a catchy little number on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack (not the TV show, the movie remake from a number of years ago), that I think only plays at the end as the credits are rolling.
Sue – Someone told me that the orange speedo comes from jokes made during Mike Napoli's interview on one of the Arlington area radio shows, which I took to mean it was probably very funny, but in a you would have had to be there way.

"Preface to Going Nuclear"
Book Chapter, Going Nuclear: Nuclear Proliferation and International Security in the 21st Century, pages xi-xlvii
January 2010
Author: Sean M. Lynn-Jones, Editor, International Security; Series Editor, Belfer Center Studies in International Security
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Managing the Atom; Quarterly Journal: International Security; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
Other Chapters in Going Nuclear: Nuclear Proliferation and International Security in the 21st Century:
"The spread of nuclear weapons is an important issue in the theory and practice of international relations. The most fundamental reason why scholars and analysts study nuclear proliferation is that the spread of nuclear weapons may increase the likelihood of nuclear war. Although there has been a vigorous debate between nuclear optimists and nuclear pessimists over whether nuclear proliferation increases the risk of war, most analysts and policymakers have worried that warincluding nuclear warwill become more likely as more states go nuclear.
There are many reasons to think that the spread of nuclear weapons will make it more likely that such weapons will be used. If more states have nuclear weapons, the probability that one leader will decide to use them may increase. Even if rational decisionmakers are likely to be deterred by the threat of nuclear retaliation, the possibility of inadvertent or accidental use remains.
The spread of nuclear weapons also increases the probability of theft of nuclear materials. Even if nuclear weapons have a stabilizing effect on relations between states, terrorist groups may be able to steal nuclear materials or nuclear bombs and then detonate a nuclear weapon in a major city, killing hundreds of thousands. Such concerns existed before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but have become more acute since. As more states acquire nuclear weapons, there will probably be more opportunities for theft by terrorists.
A state's quest for nuclear weapons can be a source of conflict even when such efforts are terminated, unsuccessful, or incomplete. A state that fears that an adversary is developing nuclear weapons may launch preventive attacks against its adversary's nuclear facilities. Israel bombed the nuclear reactor at Osirak, Iraq, in 1981 and attacked an apparent nuclear facility in Syria in 2007. The United States made plans to strike North Korean nuclear facilities in 1994. Many analysts believe that Israel or the United States might attack sites related to Iran's nuclear program. In extreme cases, a state may respond to concern over the nuclear program of a hostile state by launching a full-scale war. The 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq was at least partially motivated by U.S. fears that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons.
Concern over nuclear proliferation is likely to increase in the coming years. Many observers believe that the spread of nuclear weapons to one or two more states will trigger a wave of new nuclear states. More states may turn to nuclear power to meet their energy needs as other sources of energy become more costly or undesirable because they emit carbon that contributes to global climate change. As more nuclear reactors are built, the world's stock of nuclear expertise and fissionable materials is likely to grow...."

Green building engineers are using microalgae to heat an apartment complex in Hamburg as part of an innovative experiment.
The new apartment complex highlights the city's goal of bio-energy use in urban areas. Called the Bio Intelligence Quotient (BIQ) house, it is currently under development and stands as one of 16 projects participating in Hamburg's 2013 International Building Exhibition. According to developers, it will be the first building in the world to be fitted with a bioreactor on its façade, reports Designbuildsource.com.
The building's two south-facing walls will be covered with integrated photo bioreactors – transparent shells containing vast colonies of the microalgae which are nourished using liquid nutrients, natural sunlight and carbon dioxide.
The bioreactors generate biomass which can be harvested to generate power while at the same time providing dynamic shading, thermal insulation and noise reduction.
In addition to reducing utility bills for heating in the cool northern city of Hamburg, the microalgae will consume carbon dioxide, reducing the building's greenhouse emissions.

My plan for this evening was to post a lot of photos and fun stories from today's Angels Fanfest and exhibition game against the Padres. Unfortunately, I missed them both. My husband and I have been burning the candle at both ends and at a couple of points in the middle just for good measure for a few weeks now and this morning it finally caught up with him – he woke up too sick and headachey to do anything. I am a diehard baseball fan but I am a diehard wife first…okay, that makes me sound like a car battery or like I should be saying yippee ki-yay mother etc., but you get the general idea. Suffice to say, we stayed home, I took care of him and I wound up watching the game on the living room sofa, whooping and cheering between a snoozing husband and two snoring cats – yes, they snore. Louder than most people. It's a little disturbing. As disappointing as this was, it really only means 12 extra days until I get to hear my first actual crack o' the bat since September. That's not so bad at all.
The game itself was as fun as a blowout beating up on a mix of the other team's A, B and C squads can be – which is to say fun, it being baseball and all, but not outrageously so. Still, Dan Haren pitched a great five innings. It was great to see that he is definitely in April and May shape. Hisanori Takahashi, Kevin Jepsen and the other relievers looked more than ready for prime time themselves. Mark Trumbo is still hitting like a beast, even inside regular season height walls. He had a three run homer and an additional hit today. Peter Bourjos, Jeff Mathis and Alberto Callaspo also collected two hits each, including a nice triple from Bourjos. Hopeful signs for a great season, all. Mike Trout looked good but it was an uneventful game for him so I didn't see much of him from my living room vantage point, another small disappointment.
There was, however, one definite consolation to watching the game at home – Torii Hunter and Vernon Wells were not playing today and joined Victor Rojas and Mark Gubicza in the announcer's booth for two innings. Whether it was Wells giving Torii grief about his age – he is clean shaven this year because there was apparently a lot more silver in his beard than he liked – or Torii suggesting that Wells can't bunt because he would hurt himself running hard to first, those two guys crack me up. They were also serious at times and it's great to see them locked in and so psyched for the season. If I had to make the rough decision and pick a favorite current Angel, it's Torii and I can tell Vernon Wells is going to become a favorite of mine as well. I know that clubhouse chemistry alone does create a winning season. But I think it is the important x-factor that makes a team's strength greater than just the sum of its parts. I am thrilled that Wells seemed to fit so effortlessly into the work hard, act goofy Angels clubhouse that I love so much. Wells mentioned that Mike Scioscia's group dinner tab Spring Training assignments definitely helped him make friends quickly, he he.
After the game, Mike Scioscia officially announced the Angels Opening Day pitcher. It's Scott Kaz…I'm totally kidding. Of course it's Jered Weaver. I would say, as predicted here on this blog, but this decision was pretty close to a given. In the same press conference Scioscia also announced that Joel Pineiro will definitely start the season on the DL. The Angels will go with a four man rotation – Weaver, Dan Haren, Ervin Santana and Scott Kazmir – using the extra days off in early April as the 5th starter's spot, until Pineiro is scheduled to come back and pitch in the April 8th home opener. I think this is a great short term solution and I am now certain Pineiro will be healthy enough to start on April 8th. I have tickets for that game, as I've mentioned, and I have uncanny luck for being at games where it's either a pitcher's first start off the DL or first start with the Angels.

Sorry you had to miss FanFest, but you did the right thing (I guess) taking care of your husband. There's always next year, though, and it will be a fun season. You almost had me on the Kazmir thing…
What a way to spend a sick day. You guys are going to love Vernon Wells!
He was a great ambassador for the Blue Jays.
—Mark Gauthier
I did a spit take with the Kaz "announcement"… you got me😉
Really sorry your husband got sick and you had to miss Fan Fest. I hate when that happens! But you're a good wife first, as you said. Awwww.
Mike – You guess I did the right thing, eh? LOL. I hope there's a next year. The Angels have been sporadic in their Fanfests. This was the first in three years. But it wouldn't have been much fun on my own, knowing he was home and miserable, either.
Mark – I really do think we're going to love him. He's still adjusting to the ins and outs of left field, but I love his glove, his bat, his attitude and his fantastic sense of humor. Seems like a nice guy too.
Jeff – Wow, I didn't expect to trick anyone, let alone several people. My apologies to your computer screen.🙂
Jane – Thanks! What can you do, right?
— Kristen
I always wondered why pop Torii in rightfield, then I saw Bourjos sprint all out for a ball in the gap and make it look like a country stroll. If he can make his bat do half the talking his defense does…..He will be the next Angels All Star. Seriously, the kid can motor from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds….I think he beat a cheetah to a rogue hotdog after the game.
Rays Renegade
The Angels have Torii and Wells in RF & LF and both played CF in the past. Throw in Bourjos and I don't think too many balls will "drop" in for hits. Also, kudos for being the supportive spouse.
Rays Renegade – The Bourjos/cheetah/rogue hotdog incident has not actually been substantiated, but only because it's difficult to decipher the red and yellow and black blurs on the video. Yeah, Bourjos is fast and so graceful he makes it all look effortless. And his bat is starting to come around, especially since he's decided to take advantage of his speed by working on his bunting. I can't wait to see what he does this year playing in between Wells and Torii.
Ron – Well, I don't know that kudos are really in order, but thank you. Yeah, I love our all centerfielder outfield. Wells and Torii are still getting used to playing the stadium corners, but that will come and in the mean time the three of them cover so much ground together it's sick. Our outfield and 4/5ths of our starting rotation are my favorite things about the team heading into the season.
Yeah, bit gullible the other day… No worries, I'll just send the bill🙂
Sorry to hear you missed the FanFest – hope your hubby is feeling better! Though I think he now owes you a nice dinner (or a nice day at the ballpark) for the great sacrifice you made for him.😉
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Jeff – Yeah, I'll get right on that.😉
Sue – Don't think I won't be milking this for more tickets all season…of course, it's not like he'll mind that. He was better, now he's out sick again. The flu this year is tough to shake.
That's too bad that you missed FanFest, but at least you get to go to a game so soon! I have the reverse of your pitcher's luck…I have attended three games where the starting pitcher has gone one the DL. I'd much rather have it the other way around🙂
Torii was hilarious in the booth! He mentioned not really liking it for fear of messing up, but I hope he'll consider a career of it in the distant future.
Catherine – Very true. 9 days and counting. You're right. Your pitcher luck doesn't sound like nearly as much fun. But if it's only happened three times, your luck can always improve.
Alice – Thank you for dropping by my blog and commenting! I loved Torii in the announcer's booth too. I agree, he should consider a broadcast career after he retires as a player.

Barre puts off vote on TIF district debt ceiling
BARRE — A lot of big numbers will be on the Granite City's Town Meeting Day ballot, but the proposed debt ceiling for a newly approved "tax increment financing" district won't be one of them.
City councilors aren't ready to pop what could be a $10.8 million question that they say sounds more ominous than it really is and requires more outreach than they've been able to provide.
At the urging of Mayor Thomas Lauzon, councilors agreed this week they need more time to bring voters up to speed when it comes to a complicated concept. The council had rushed to obtain approval for the city's downtown TIF district from the Vermont Economic Progress Council late last year.
TIF districts essentially allow communities to make public infrastructure improvements within defined areas by using some of the property tax revenues generated by new development and redevelopment within the state-sanctioned district.
The boundaries of the Barre district are roughly identical to the city's designated downtown, and projects like the new Merchants Bank, the redevelopment of the historic Aldrich and Blanchard blocks, and construction of City Place are all expected to boost the city's grand list and provide a predictable source of funding for projects within the TIF district over the next 20 years.
However, Lauzon worried this week that the council would have a limited opportunity to educate voters in the run-up to the city's annual elections in March.
"I just don't feel like we've done a good job presenting this to the public," he said.
Rather than risk rejection of a request that he said reads like a blank check but really isn't, Lauzon suggested the council drop its earlier plans for a March vote. That, he said, would allow time for the council to reach out to residents and for a mayors coalition to lobby lawmakers to change the TIF district legislation.
Lauzon didn't get any resistance from council members.
"If we put it on (the ballot) in March it's going to get shot down," Anita Chadderton said.
Paul Poirier agreed. "We need to educate the voters as to how this (TIF district) would be a big benefit for our community," he said.
A big part of Lauzon's concern involves the wording that is required by statute to establish debt ceilings for TIF districts and the fact that communities can't adjust the limit on a project-by-project basis.
Planning Director Mike Miller said the law doesn't allow for that and the language isn't optional.
"It's a mouthful, but it's what statute requires we put into the ballot item," he said.
The article presented for the council's consideration stated: "… Shall the Barre City voters authorize the city council to finance public improvements within the Tax Increment Finance (TIF) district by pledging the credit of the city in an amount not to exceed ten million eight hundred thousand dollars ($10,800,000), utilizing new tax increment revenues from within the district for repayment, with the city liable for full repayment of the indebtedness regardless of whether the tax increment revenues are sufficient for such repayment, subject to future approval of each debt obligation by the voters or city council as required by law."
Lauzon said it was confusing at best.
"To me it looks like you're going to spend 10.8 million" he said, adding that is not the case and no money would be spent without obtaining additional approval from voters.
"This doesn't give the City Council or anyone else a blank check to spend … money, and I'm very concerned that's going to be lost on people," he said.
At a minimum, Lauzon said he would prefer to present the debt ceiling question to voters along with a concrete project with fixed costs and an identified revenue source in the next few months. That, he said, would provide voters with a better understanding of the mechanics of tax increment financing.
According to Miller, the $10.8 million figure was vetted by an independent analyst during the rigorous VEPC review and represents a "conservative" estimate of what targeted development in the TIF district will generate for use on infrastructure projects over the next 20 years.
He said the council could set a lower figure but not a higher one and now has less than five years to incur debt for specific projects.
"The clock is ticking," he said.
Miller reminded the council that to accommodate the planned redevelopment of Merchants Row and Enterprise Alley, it will have to acquire two key properties in the next six months. TIF money could be used to cover the cost of acquisition, but not before the debt ceiling is set by voters.
Councilors agreed that a special election could be held this spring or early this summer to obtain the necessary approvals.

Cuba says it will turn over a Florida couple accused of kidnapping their own children from the mother's parents and fleeing to Havana.
Foreign Ministry official Johana Tablada told The Associated Press in a written statement that Cuba had informed U.S. authorities of the country's decision to turn over Joshua Michael Hakken, his wife, Sharyn, and their two young boys. She did not say when the handover would occur.
The Hakkens were spotted alongside their boat, Salty, docked at Havana's Hemingway Marina. Joshua told reporters to stay away, but the family appeared to be interacting normally with each other.
Investigators said Joshua entered his mother-in-law's house north of Tampa early Wednesday, tied her up and fled with his young sons.
Authorities had been searching by air and sea for the boat Hakken recently bought. The truck the family had been traveling in was found late Thursday, abandoned in a parking garage in Madeira Beach.
The boys had been living with their maternal grandparents, who were granted permanent custody Tuesday, since last year.
Authorities have previously characterized the Hakkens as "anti-government."

Gamersmafia was an online gaming community that I started in 2001 soon after Unreal Tournament came out. It closed its doors and became a read-only site in 2013 due to a lack of volunteers to maintain its engine. In 2014 we lost support from the hosting company that was keeping the read-only (100s of GBs) version alive and since then all Gamersmafia urls redirect here.
I want to thank the 60.000+ people that, over the years, contributed the 245k articles, images, demos, downloads and the over 1.7M comments to the community. I spent hundreds of hours adding new features, discussing game sessions and trolling and arguing with about everybody in the forums. Looking back I am happy to have poured all that energy into the project and I hope Gamersmafia gave everyone who contributed something back too.

Angels' Texas Two Step – Big Misstep, Stomp
So the little bird we were counting on to fly in at the last minute and tell the Angels where the Rangers rumored jewel encrusted armor might have a crack or two (Psssst, it's right over the heart…er…pitcher's mound, a concept we should well understand.) was apparently delayed a day by bad weather. But, once that bird did arrive, ooooh boy. 15 hits. 15 runs. 12 RBIs. Nice. Almost too nice to be entertaining…almost. *grins*
So, about Monday. Even if the aforementioned bird had arrived, C.J. Wilson is definitely not the weak point in the armor I was talking about and he was pretty on. To make matters worse, it was not the good Ervin Santana who took the mound for the Angels. It's not Scioscia's fault. It's so hard to tell until you get a few innings in. Both the good controlled Santana and the bad out of control Santana have dark goatees – in clear violation of the evil twin statutes in the Marvel accords, I might add. What's a manager to do…other than, oh I don't know, pull him a little earlier? I know, I know. Then we have to roll a D-10 to see if the Bullpen self destructs. In this particular game, however, the Bullpen did a fine job, especially Rich Thompson. It's possible they might even have saved us if it weren't for the bats. Not to take anything away from C.J. Wilson, who clearly pitched a great game, but it's not like we can't hit him. We were hitting him, in fact. Just not with runners in scoring position. 10 hits. 1 run. But, enough about that.
Cut to today and you have a completely different game. Matt Palmer had an excellent second start. If he keeps this up, I will have even less worries about the starting rotation once you get past Weaver and Haren. And the bats, especially the junior bats, were on fire. Mark Trumbo, Hank Conger and Peter Bourjos combined for nine of the 15 hits and two of the three homeruns. Trumbo had four RBIs! Conger rocked at the plate! And Bourjos? Yes, it was a single and an error not a real infield the park home run but how many other ballplayers could get all the way home on that error? A few, but not many. The sight of him tearing around second and then third? He is so fast that it looked like a special effect. Vernon Wells, Alberto Callaspo and Maicer Izturis also continued their hitting streaks and our fielding was spot on. Of course, the Rangers also committed four uncharacteristic errors and pretty much crumpled after the fourth inning, which didn't hurt matters any. In fact, it almost took the fun out the game…almost.
But about the kids? I'm extending my Chatwood plea to all of them. Can we keep them, Sosh? Please. They're young. They won't be much trouble. Can we, can we? Well, they're all safe for the first round of returns from the DL, at any rate. Erick Aybar came off the DL this evening and I am pleased with the corresponding roster change. Brandon Wood has been designated for assignment. The assumption is that he won't pass waivers and will cease to be an Angel sometime in the next three days. Wood seems like a nice kid. He's got pretty good moves at short stop and I wish him well wherever he lands, but it's time. It's more than time. The Murphy's Law corollary pertaining to baseball changes of scenery being what it is, expect Wood to become a 2011 batting champion runner up somewhere else, ha ha ha.
So, there you have it, two very uneven games. They killed us once, we killed them once and we're still tied for first place…an unimportant April 19th 1st place, but still. Tomorrow, the rubber match, with our hero, Ace #1, Jered Weaver – as opposed to our hero, Ace #2 Dan Haren🙂 – appearing on the mound for the Angels. He will duel it out with Matt Harrison, a Nolan Ryan favorite and all around tough customer. Hopefully both teams really show up this time and make this the game it should be…with the Angels ultimately winning, of course. This could be a heck of a game.
7 Comments
The rubber match between these two should be highly entertaining. Great win 15-4, looks like the Angels remembered how to swing the Kentucky lumber. Weaver should have a solid game.
And so… the Brandon Wood saga ends…. I can hardly believe it. But, it is the right move… also, Weaver is the man and I look for him to continue his dominance throughout the season (a far cry from his brother, Jeff).
That was a great score! When I checked the games last night I was surprised to see all those runs. Good job, Angels.
Mike – So far, so good, that's for sure. Yes, the team found their bats again…or finished thawing them out from Chicago.
Jeff – And so it ends for us anyway. It was definitely time and will be interesting to see if anyone else can teach him to hit consistently. Yes, the younger brother is definitely the more talented Weaver. Thanksgiving dinner with Mom and Dad must be interesting in the Weaver household, and possibly a little cold from some corners of the table.
Jane – Yeah, it was the kind of score that makes you wish you could bank some of those runs for later.

Red Sox @ Angels 10:05 ….I was watching my A's play Boston yesterday and even though the LOB category was in double figures it was still fun to watch. Lots of strikeouts, home runs, great plays in the field. One thing I did notice was that Boston looks very HUNGRY for road wins. You can see it their faces. Look out Angels! *evil grin* Should be a good series.
Maybe the Angels need to trade Wood for Mark DeRosa. I hear he's available. Also, I loved the "evil twin statute" comment. Had me laughing a bit.
Jon – Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting! The Red Sox are always hungry for wins when they come to the Big A, even when their record is good. And after last season, boy are the Angels hungry for wins against the Red Sox. I'm sure this evening's grudge match is fun for you here in the 10th inning, but I am dying over here, LOL.
Ron – Nah, time to just let Wood ride off in search of grand adventures elsewhere. It's a case of not having room to carry him anymore. The Angels aren't really looking for a replacement. Glad I gave someone other than just my husband chuckle.🙂

Pot pipe found in Burger King Kids Meal
Employee hid loaded pipe in box while he worked
Police say a family was shocked to discover a loaded marijuana pipe inside a Burger King Kids Meal instead of the traditional toy that typically comes with the meal.
The family was in Dundee, Mich., visiting a water park when the grandfather of a 4-year-old boy stopped by the local Burger King to pick up food for his grandson, reports The Associated Press. The family discovered the pipe before the boy got to it and contacted police immediately.
According to police, a 23-year-old employee put the pipe in the box in order to hide it while he worked and didn't mean for it to come into contact with the child. The employee has been charged with possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Two of the man's friends found sitting in their parked car outside the Burger King and have also been charged with drug possession.

'Embarrassed' ladies sorry for pirate mix-up
Women's Institute members misunderstood a visiting speaker's talk about pirates
Members of a women's group in England were embarrassed by the fact that they misunderstood the idea behind a visiting speaker's talk about pirates.
The ladies of the Parkham Women's Institute were so excited about the guest speaker that they decided to dress in pirate costumes, complete with eye patches and a toy parrot. However, Captain Colin Darch was visiting the Institute to discuss his time as a hostage when Somali pirates kidnapped him in the Indian Ocean in 2008. He was visiting the institute to promote his book and discuss his experiences with the pirates.
The North Devon Journal reports that the 75-year-old retired sea captain said he was very confused when he first arrived and he could tell the ladies were also confused, after he began speaking about his personal ordeal and not pirates in general.
Despite the confusion, Darch got along with the ladies and had no ill feelings about the event. He even ended up judging a pirate costume contest.

Take a truthful look at your mouth
By Pure Matters
Meet the newest weapons in the fight to prevent high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes: a toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss. Used daily, these mild-mannered dental care tools not only keep your smile sparkling, but they can also help prevent gum disease, which researchers now say is associated with higher risk for chronic and even deadly health conditions.
Think you don't have to worry? You may want to reconsider. When researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention checked up on the oral health of 454 Americans age 35 and older, they discovered that gum disease was 50 percent more common than previously estimated. Experts used to think about 11 percent of people had periodontal disease; the new findings would increase the rate to 16.5 percent -- about 1 in 6 Americans.
Your Gums, Your Health
Periodontal (gum) disease develops when plaque -- a sticky mix of bacteria, saliva, and tiny bits of food -- builds up between your teeth and begins to harden. Your gums become infected and may be sore or even bleed. Untreated, gum disease can even lead to tooth loss.
But that's not all. There's new evidence that gum disease is associated with increased risk for high blood pressure and other serious health problems. Advanced gum disease heightened risk for diabetes by 50 to 100 percent in one study. And in another, preventing it protected hearts and brains: Women who had seen a dentist in the previous two years were one third less likely to have a heart attack, stroke, chest pain, or congestive heart failure. The link seems to be inflammation, which increases the risk for a buildup of fatty deposits in artery walls. Inflammation may also interfere with the ability of your cells to absorb blood sugar.
Healthy Mouth Tips
Ready to give your gums the attention they deserve? Here's your plan.
Quit smoking. Smokers are three times more likely to develop gum disease as nonsmokers.
Brush twice a day—or even more often. Use short, gentle strokes to clean the front, back, and chewing surfaces of all your pearly whites. People who didn't brush their teeth regularly were 70 percent more likely to develop heart disease, indicates one large, Scottish study.
Floss daily. Slide it gently down between your teeth and then below the gum line. Rub it up and down against your tooth to remove plaque. Can't floss? Ask your dentist about other interdental devices such as special brushes, picks, or sticks.
For more protection, use an antimicrobial toothpaste and mouth rinse. According to the American Dental Association, these products can reduce risk for gum disease by taking aim at the bacteria that cause it.
Watch for signs of gum disease. See your dentist if you have ongoing swollen, red, or bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity, and/or bad breath. Gums that are pulling away from your teeth, loose teeth, and a change in the way your teeth meet when you bite may also be warning signs.
See your dentist twice a year. Go even if your teeth are healthy -- or if you wear dentures. (You can still develop gum disease.) Your dentist can spot early signs of gum disease and begin treatment, if necessary. And remember, that matters for health beyond your mouth.

COPYGRAPH, Verona, Italy, was founded in 1995 as small copy shop serving the university market in its local community.

It started to target the business-to-business market with transactional printing services. As a result the business grew, but Riccardo Nuvolari, the company's owner, believed business growth wasn't at its full potential.
