Memories of Blackburn
Sshooldays In Blackburn
I moved with my parents from Preston to Blackburn in 1946 We lived on Park Avenue off Shear Brow attended Four Lanes End CP School on Revidge Road where I was very happy My recollections of that school was a teacher called Mr Sharples who when he caught you whispering in class would throw the wooden board duster at you ...Read full memory
Infirmary Memories
My first memory of the Infirmary is when I was four years old. I had my tonsils and adenoids removed because I was very, very deaf. After the operation I could hear but it would be many years before I learned that I only had hearing in one ear. When I was six I had another operation to remove a tumour from my neck. It ...Read full memory
Rain, Cold And Fun.
Memories of shopping with my parents, Jack and Ellen, when I was 9 years old is always a pleasant thought, although it was not all pleasant, when it was raining the water off the canvas covers would drip down your neck, and if it was windy it would blow the canvas up and you got more than you had bargained for (ah, the ...Read full memory
World War Two
At some point during the Second World War I was sent to what was called a convalescent home in Blackburn. I was a bed wetter and was sent there by the people that took me in as an evacuee. They never told my mother that I was being moved, and the shock to her was awful. Fortunately she rescued me as soon as there was a lull ...Read full memory

At the large farm show called SIMA, Case IH announces V2V system where combine takes control of tractor with grain cart during harvest for efficient combine unloading. John Deere discusses the Tractor Implement Automation where an implement takes over control of the tractor.
Automation and precision farming took a new turn at the large Paris farm show called SIMA. Both Case IH and John Deere displayed technology that shows a tractor relinquishing control. For Case IH, tractor control is turned over to a combine while John Deere relinquishes control to an implement.
Case IH introduced its new V2V wireless technology. The companyplans to offer a kit in 2012 that allows a combine to take control of a tractor and grain cart for efficient and precise unloading. The tractor will run in tandem with the combine. Case IH won a gold medal from SIMA in the show's innovation contest.
John Deere also earned a gold medal for new technology and innovation. The company started selling in Europe its Tractor Implement Automation (TIA) system that allows an implement to take control of the tractor. Deere is selling software that allows its new round balers including the 864 Premium baler and the just introduced 990 and 960 balers to operate a tractor when in the baling mode.
The TIA system depends on ISOBUS communications between tractor and implement. TIA decides when to stop the tractor, baling, tying and ejection. The system is used on other implements including a forage wagon. In this case, a sensor on the front of the tractor and on the PTO to detect its load helps it determine the speed of the tractor.
Also on display at SIMA is a touch-screen computer/controller with access to markets and weather. Internet access should follow soon. Isagri introduced the new multi-site onboard computer.

- 11 Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
- 12 Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
How much luggage will I be allowed to bring to East Timor?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds this allowance. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these limits The authorized baggage allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds total with a maximum weight allowance of 50 pounds for any one bag. Since travel requirements may change because of circumstances beyond the Peace Corps' control, you should remain alert for additional information regarding luggage allowances before you arrive for staging and check with the airline a few days prior to your departure.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current in East Timor?
The current is 220 volts. Any electrical appliance you bring will require a transformer, and these are readily available in Dili. Because of the varied outlets, universal plug adapters, also available in Dili, will come in handy. Power surges are common in East Timor and can cause irreversible damage to your appliances or laptops.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. They are given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover their expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards are rarely accepted in East Timor, but are preferable to cash for out-ofcountry travel. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the
amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Volunteers often state an interest in traveling and learning about other cultures as a main reason for wanting to join the Peace Corps. You are encouraged to use your vacation time to travel around East Timor and to other countries in the region. Each Volunteer accumulates two vacation days per month of service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. The Peace Corps is not able to provide your visitors with visa or travel assistance, nor can it provide health care in the case of a visitor's accident or illness.
Extended stays at your site by visitors are not encouraged and may require permission from your country director. Consistent with the Peace Corps' worldwide policy of not permitting nonmarried couples to serve together, Peace Corps/East Timor does not permit non-Volunteer "significant others" to establish permanent residence with Volunteers during their service.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects; Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance application forms will be provided, and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Volunteers are cautioned not to ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in East Timor do not need to get an international driver's license. Operation of motorized vehicles is prohibited. Most urban travel is by minibus or taxi. Rural travel ranges from buses and minibuses to trucks, bicycles, and lots of walking.
What should I bring as gifts for East Timorese friends and my host family?
While this is not a requirement, bringing a small token of friendship is certainly acceptable. Lavish gifts are discouraged. Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house; pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs from your area; photos to give away; or hard candies or biscuits, which can be purchased locally.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps trainees are not assigned to individual sites until several weeks into their pre-service training. This gives the Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites and to finalize site selections with their counterparts. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input on your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, or living conditions. However, many factors influence the site selection process and the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you might ideally like to be. Most Volunteers will live in small towns or in rural villages, but will usually be within a few hours from the nearest Volunteer. Some sites will require a six- to 12-hour drive from Dili.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, you should instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580; select option 2, then extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at 202.638.2574. For nonemergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580; select option 2, then extension 2502 or 2522.
Can I call home from East Timor?
Cellular phones, rather than fixed-line phones, are the norm in East Timor. While cellphones do not reach most areas outside the capital, overseas calls are easy to make from Dili with cellphones. The cost of calls to the U.S. varies but averages about $1 per minute.
Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
A cellphone from the United States will not work in East Timor because of different programming protocols. However, cellphones are readily available for purchase in East Timor at a cost of $100 to $200. The phone cards used to charge the phones for use are regularly sold in the capital.
Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
While there is limited Internet and e-mail access in East Timor, it is very unlikely that e-mail access will be available at your site. Currently, there are computers available for limited Volunteer use in the Volunteer office. There are a few Internet cafes in Dili, but they are expensive ($8 per hour). Volunteers may bring computers if they wish, but the Peace Corps cannot reimburse Volunteers for damage to or loss of computers. Many sites have no access to electricity and others have electricity for only a few hours each day. Breakdowns are frequent because of inconsistent electrical currents. Maintenance and repair of electronic equipment is difficult and quite costly in East Timor. Volunteers should insure items such as computers and expensive cameras, audio equipment, and the like before leaving the United States.

The 1986-87 Fleer Sticker set is about as condition sensitive as they come. The stickers were seeded as the last card in each pack, meaning that they almost always came with a large coating of wax. The best way to remove this wax is by carefully rubbing it off with a pair of nylons (it sounds funny, but this will do the trick). These cards were also prone to some major cutting issues at the factory, which resulted in many of them resembling more of a "diamond" shape rather than a standard 2 ½ x 3 ½ card. The Jordan "Rookie Sticker" is the crown jewel of this set.

Experts agree that breastfeeding is superior to formula for the health of you and your baby. Some compelling statistics show:
Breast milk is uniquely superior than any substitute and is the model by which all alternative feeding methods are judged.
Breastfed babies experience 30 percent fewer illnesses than formula fed babies.
Breastfed babies are less likely to suffer from ear infections, allergies, vomiting, diarrhea, pneumonia, wheezing, bronchitis, and meningitis.
Breast milk is nutritionally perfect for infants.
Breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer women.
If every baby in the U.S. was breastfed for as little as 12 weeks, it would save the $1-2 billion in health care costs. If every baby was breastfed for one year, it would save as much as $1-5 trillion annually.
The question is no longer who needs a breast pump, it's who doesn't? With so many dual income families and new mothers having to go back to work early after giving birth, a good reliable breast pump is a must. When shopping for a breast pump be sure to ask yourself these important questions:
What do I need from my breast pump?
The answer may seem obvious, but with so many breast pumps out there offering so many different options, accessories, and sizes, it's important for you to know what your needs are before you buy. For instance, are you a working mom or will you be pumping mostly at home? Are you looking for an electric or a manual pump? Do you prefer a backpack or purse-like tote for your breast pump? Do you want a pump that sucks or an expresser that massages the milk from your breasts? Are you planning on having just one child or will you need something that will last through multiple babies? These questions should help give you an idea of what type of breast pump will best suit your lifestyle.
Who makes the best breast pump?
Again, this all depends on what you need in a breast pump. A couple of the most reputable companies are Whittlestone, Ameda, Bailey and Medela. You'll find that each of these companies offers a wide array of models and prices. So depending on your needs, you can spend as little as $60 and as much as $800. Prices will depend on factors such as whether you choose manual or electric, the speed of pumping (motor), accessories, ease of use, and reliability. For instance, the $800 hospital-grade breast pump from Ameda will last many more years than your $200 Medela.
What else should I know?
A lot of companies on the Internet offer free shipping when you purchase a breast pump. One thing to remember, however, is that many companies increase the price of their product to make up the difference. Look for a company that specializes in a few products rather than offering a little bit of everything. You're bound to receive a better and more knowledgeable customer service professional than you would at one of the larger, corporate-run, pregnancy mall sites. A great company to work with is Stork Radio. They deal exclusively in fetal dopplers and breast pumps and only offer the highest quality products at incredibly reasonable prices.

From Harpers Ferry:
Please take the time to read W.Va. House Bill 2230; just the first two or three pages will give you the meat of the matter. HB2230 would protect patients with debilitating medical conditions from arrest and prosecution for the use of medical cannabis. If you believe in the bill, call or email your senator and delegate to vote "YES" for HB2230.
From Charles Town:
On reading the article about the City Council and its decision to allow these savages to trap feral cat(s) and then to leave them in the cages as storage that's one thing, I want to know what happens to them at (stage) 2. Shall I have the ASPCA available for their (cats) release? I'm very concerned where this is going or where it's been and I'm not finished; this is "despicable"!
From Martinsburg:
West Virginia State Sen. John Unger proudly stages "photo-ops" with an 1819 Hall flintlock rifle, but he has utterly failed to acknowledge or answer my letter asking for his policy on the state's nullification of unconstitutional federal statutes such as gun control and Obamacare. We deserve to know where he stands.
From Charles Town:
Reference littering along roadsides and residential areas: Trash and waste can cause very serious illnesses for both humans and animals. For those who touch it, and also those who might ingest it. It's usually the trash who is throwing down the trash. … You are the ones who need to move. You cost us to clean up your waste.
From Charles Town:
It's a shame that there is a picture of politicians on the front page this morning instead of a picture of the kids or their coaches or their parents who have supported these teams all season. I have never seen two of these delegates at any basketball games.
From Shepherdstown:
The musical program at Musselman High School Thursday night was great. The show choir, choral group and soloists put on a really entertaining program. This is a group of highly talented young people.
From Martinsburg:
Regarding the ribbons in the trees at the house in Little Georgetown: The elevator does not go all the way to the top. To be quite honest, it takes value away from the neighbors' houses around it. What a shame that it is such an eyesore to the people driving by and who live near them.
From Martinsburg:
Mr. Thompson's letter regarding trash lining the road sounded like he was describing Nadenbousch Lane. I agree. It is disgraceful and sickening to see our countryside so full of trash. Homeowners and residents, let's all take pride in our surroundings!
From Martinsburg:
Regarding Valley View School: Third-graders will serve their third day in a row silent lunch, unjust. In visiting there, I noticed three lunch supervisors – one female running around trying to do all that's necessary and two males standing in the corner socializing. She's frustrated and takes it out on the kids and they're punished. No rocket science here. If all three did their job, the kids would be able to have a nice lunch.
From Martinsburg:
To the lady and gentleman who walked three big dogs and one little dog on the west side of town by Westview Baptist Church, Rosemont School, Foxcroft Meadow and the triangle over by the park at Louisiana and Georgia: Could you please respect God's land and pick up your dogs' poop? We get so frustrated with that, especially around the school and church as it is very easy for everyone to step in it. Please respect the property. Thanks!
From Martinsburg:
I guess you can't please people from Charles Town. If it isn't too many deer, it's the treatment of cats! Well I have an idea. Let's give the cats growth hormones, and set them loose with the deer. Of course, I don't know about the residents of Charles Town, but when the deer run out, what will the cats eat?
From Berkeley County:
While all are complaining about trash, why don't you raise your brows to the man who lost his life picking up trash last week? He left two little girls and I'm sure a beautiful family. Face your reality on life, not on trash on the side of the road. Thank Berkeley County, it was on the front page!
From Berryville:
Hi, I'm Uncle Sam the Tax Man! If you drive a car, I'll tax the street. If you like to eat, I'll tax your treat. If you get cold, I'll tax the heat. If you go for a walk, I'll tax your feet because I'm Uncle Sam the Tax Man!
From Pikeside:
Concerning the W.Va. governor's school reform proposal: If the two W.Va. teacher's unions don't like it, that's the reason to implement it right there!
From Martinsburg:
The greatest obstacle to student achievement and school progress in West Virginia is the teachers unions. They obstruct anything that doesn't benefit their self-interest.
From Martinsburg:
As a physically handicapped person, I rely on my legally carried concealed weapon for self-protection. I do most of my shopping in Winchester. In Martinsburg I could be arrested for patronizing a business whose building – even sidewalk – is owned by the city. I'm pleased to read in The Journal Sen. Snyder is going to allow HB2760 out of committee for a vote regardless of his previous objections. The House approved this bill by 94-4.

Kids left home alone amid broken glass, mom arrested
Police called to home twice in 72 hours
A mother is under arrest after Dane County deputies found her children left alone in a Cambridge house, surrounded by shattered glass.
Lauren Hughes, 25, is in custody, arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and neglect of a child.
Police said an anonymous caller reported hearing yells and items being thrown and broken in a home on the 300 block of Water Street. When deputies arrived on scene, they entered the house through the unlocked front door.
Deputies said they saw an 18-month-old and four-year-old in the living room. Dane County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Elise Schaffer said the younger child was sleeping on the floor surrounded by broken glass and random small items.
"The house was very much in disarray, a lot of broken glass and knick-knacks around the living room where the children were found sleeping," Schaffer said.
According to deputies, the children's father told authorities he left the home after an argument between him and his girlfriend, Hughes, escalated. When she began throwing things, he said he left the house. Hughes left a short time later.
"He left the situation believing that they were in their mother's care," Schaffer said. "She left the situation knowing there was no one else there to care for them."
Deputies said they responded to the same home Wednesday night for a similar domestic situation. Hughes was arrested that night as well, but was bailed out of jail later that night.
Ron Gjertson lives with his wife and three children across from Hughes' home. He said her boyfriend ran over for help during the first fight Wednesday night.
"He said his girlfriend was tearing the house a part, and at that time I told him to call 911, and the next thing you know, there's three cops over here," Gjertson explained. "And then last night, it happened again."
Gjertson added he and his wife almost pressed charges against the couple after their young child wandered across the street at least twice to look at holiday decorations. Gjertson said his neighbors had no idea their child was gone.
Regardless, Gjertson said he would not expect something like this to happen in his quiet town, let alone on his street.
"For something like that to happen, it's kind of odd," Gjertson said.
Schaffer said it is unlikely the children's father will face charges in this case. Schaffer was not sure where the children are at this time, only that they are with family.

Stock Futures Eye 1,700 as Ford, Apple Advance
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing to a higher open on Wall Street Wednesday as Apple
Futures for the S&P 500 were adding 4.5 points, or 5.61 points above fair value, to 1,692.75, signaling a rebound after snapping a four-day winning streak the prior session.
"The earning season thus far is not disappointing while the economic news remains in natural gear; two basic ingredients which we think will keep the bull in charge," Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York said in an emailed comment. "We see intraday corrections leading the S&P to the 1,735 level next month as the summer rally continues."
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 27 points, or 35.26 points above fair value, to 15,540. Futures for the Nasdaq were gaining 28.25 points, or 29.75 points above fair value, to 3,054.25.

Mr. Atwater: I've tried to get sober for many years. I really want to be able to sustain sobriety, but the more times I try and fail, the less hope I have of ever making it. I'm sick of promising my wife, my parents and frankly myself I'll never drink again. Nobody believes me at this point, and I don't believe me, either.
It seems like I can get a few months, and twice in the past 10 years I've had six months clean. I always start to think I've got it figured out "this time," and it always ends badly. I'm not unemployed or living under a bridge by a long shot, so I always question whether I've hit bottom.
My wife wants assurances, and despite being clean now for three months and doing much better this time, I have none to give her. What can I tell her?
Dear Reader: Here's the deal as I understand it. You get a daily reprieve based on your spiritual condition. You don't get assurances nor do you get to make promises. Recovery starts with the admission of powerlessness and unmanageability. Simply put, under your own steam, you're doomed to repeat the cycle.
It's very difficult for people who haven't experienced powerlessness or who are unaware of their own to understand this admission is where strength begins. So give your wife a break; she's been through a lot and will be slow to trust.
The only promise I would advise you make is that you will continue to do what is required of you to stay sober: remain teachable, open, honest and willing. If you do these things, continue to work through your program with guidance and avoid fear-driven or prideful actions, your behavior will begin to look radically different, and you will be so busy getting well that you will have little time to stay sick.
Be patient with yourself and be patient with your family.
Tell your wife you understand her lack of trust and that you are learning your own limitations in this area. Tell her it really isn't trust you're headed for but faith, and not the same old faith in yourself or the bottle, but something bigger. Tell her eventually she'll experience your faith and you hope she can find some of her own.
In the meantime, remember miracles happen every day, and watch closely for when they start to happen in your family.

Mobile Health Unit for veterans to stop at D&E
The Veterans Affairs Rural Mobile Health Unit from the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg will make its first visit to the Davis & Elkins College campus from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The unit will be set up in the Madden Student Center parking lot and will offer services to students, staff, and faculty veterans, as well as veterans from Elkins and the surrounding communities.
The unit is supported by a team of health care professionals who can provide preventive health care screenings and offer information for mental health outreach, diabetes education and tobacco cessation. Veterans also can receive information on enrollment and benefits, family counseling and primary care. There is no cost involved to visit the unit and no appointment is necessary.
The idea to bring the mobile unit to the college came about after Matthew Dalrymple, Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom coordinator at the Louis A. Johnson VAMC, spoke at a meeting of the D&E Student Veterans Association. Ronald R. Sandreth Jr., operations manager at Louis A. Johnson VAMC, helped make arrangements for scheduling the unit's stop on campus.
"We have a very active group of student veterans who are members of the Student Veterans Association," said Debbie Larkin, associate registrar and veterans liaison officer at D&E. "With their help and that of Ron Sandreth, we were able to secure this unit."
Larkin said she hopes to arrange for the unit to return to the college once each semester.
More information is available at www.dewv.edu or 304-637-1243.

Between April 16th and 22nd here is Britain we are celebrating National Bread Week – the perfect excuse to enjoy as much of this beloved British staple as possible!
National Bread Week has been celebrated during the month of April for the past twelve years and was originally set up to celebrate the 'roll' that bread plays in our daily diet. Bread really has gotten a bad rap over the last few years, with low-carb diets being all the rage and health concerns increasing regarding our over consumption of refined, white carbohydrates. With all this bad press, the humble loaf has been pushed aside, with far too many people still believing that this is the healthy decision.
The reality is that bread can be a healthy part of a balanced diet, and not only that, but it's delicious to boot! There is nothing quite so comforting as warm toast slathered in butter, or thick slices of homemade bread dunked into soup. And where would Britain be without a sandwich? According to the British Sandwich Association Britain consumes nearly 11 billion sandwiches a year! That is an awful lot of bread!
There's more to bread than just toast and sandwiches though. The simple loaf is one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen, being used as everything from breadcrumbs to crisp up the top of a casserole, to adding unctuous body to a gooey and sweet summer pudding. One of my favourite ways to enjoy bread is in a delicious homemade bread pudding, and it's also the perfect way to use up some slices that are a little past their prime.
Bread and Butter Pudding
Once you've mastered this simple recipe for a classic bread pudding you can start to personalize it and really make it your own. Try adding fresh berries or chocolate chips on top or sprinkle in some cinnamon for a real winter warmer.
- Begin by buttering each side of the slices of bread
- Remove the crusts from the bread if desired and cut the slices into quarter triangles
- Lay the triangles of bread slightly overlapping into a buttered heat proof dish.
- Sprinkling the sultanas on the bottom, middle and a few on top-slightly tucked under the bread to stop them burning.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar and cream in a separate bowl before pouring over the layered bread.
- Make sure to push the bread down into the custard mixture and leave to soak for 20-30 minutes.
- Grate on a little fresh nutmeg or ground cinnamon if desired.
- Bake in a preheated oven gas 6/200*c/400*f for 30-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
- Serve generous portions while still warm, drizzled with extra custard or cream if desired.

Following on from the web edition, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and
Panasonic Corporation (NYSE:PC)(TOKYO:6752) present the tablet PC
edition of their calendar in five languages.
By installing the application on your tablet PC, you can view a calendar containing beautiful photographs of world heritage sites whenever you like. The calendar also includes "trivia" about the world heritage sites in English, Japanese, French, Chinese, and Spanish, and the pictures can be presented as a slideshow like an electronic photo frame. The content is aimed towards youth education, with a particular focus on the Associated Schools Network of UNESCO (9,000 schools in 180 countries around the world). We plan to create even more enriching content in the future.
UNESCO and Panasonic have been creating wall calendars since 1995 and a web version since 2010 with the aim of promoting environmental education through the protection of world heritage areas. The web version and the tablet PC version include content that is not available in the printed version, and you can enjoy informative games and other content concerning world heritage sites.
In addition, while the wall calendar has only been available in Japan until now, you can now purchase the A4 size international edition of the calendar from the UNESCO headquarters from December, 2012.

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Enjoy the ride as the Rant goes World Wide
Rockpile Rant made the top 50 Fan blog list twice.
How about that, two rankings !
How did that happen you ask?
A little while back I changed my blog title and removed the postseason from it.
Now it's just called the Rockpile Rant, simple, but in your face.
Well Rockpile Rant…Postseason came in at number 20, and the plain old Rockpile Rant (which has only been getting hits for a week), came in at number 34.
Check out the screenshot below. The red markers are all places that have checked out the Rant. A marker may represent a city or an individual, and all of the hits from that city or individual are symbolized by the one red marker.
That's freggin cool. Are you one of those red markers?
Wow…The Rant has gone global.
I'm still working on posting my 2008 season baseball collection. I'll have it up on Saturday…D
3 Comments
Hey D,
Congrats on going global. Very cool.
Keep up the good work, your blog is great!
Thanks Rockieluv and Roxfan…I appreciate you reading and supporting the Rant…D

Rules of Hogwash for newbies and not-so-newbies.
this is harder than it looks, since we have been running full-tilt-amok for quite some time since last any rules were posted; but I am going to paste them in here and try to edit out all of the blatant rulishness.
to start, the moderator/hogmaster® posts a [really] obscure word and asks for definitions to be submitted via PM, usually within a se'nnight (seven nights). at that point the submittals are grouped into a post and polling proceeds. voting usually continues until all of the contributors have had a chance to vote, or until polls are arbitrarily closed by the hogmaster.
Rule A is: the points don't matter
[someone asks] Do those of us who contributed daffynitions get to vote? I was confused on this point by the first round. One gets to in Balderdash.
yes, in the normal course of the game only the contributors would vote. we've liberalized the rules to let everyone participate. my interpretation [has been that contributor votes count for more than onlooker votes]. here are the rules again, as amended to date:
1. [points are] given to each player for every vote (or guess) his phony definition receives.
2. points are awarded to each player who chooses the true meaning.
3. points are given to the moderator only if none of the players choose the true meaning.
4. [no] points are awarded to any player who submits a definition which is similar or very close to the correct meaning [rather, the moderator shall request a resubmittal]
5. If two or more players submit a definition per rule 4 (in the judgment of the moderator), the round will be thrown out with no points scored (or the moderator can disqualify obvious attempts to sabotage the game :-Þ )
6. A player may vote for her own definition but scores points only for those others she can bluff into also voting for that definition.. (i.e., you can't get a rule 1 point [voting for your own def'n!])
scoring, such as it is with points not mattering, is virtually at the whim of the moderator/hogmaster® [see latest round, e.g.]. whinging to the hogmaster, while encouraged, has been shown to be completely ineffectual.
there have been several hogmasters over the years.
You're welcome, tsuwm.
Jackie, can you sticky this up here?

If anyone has a word they think would be worthy of a round of Hogwash, please feel free to take the Hogmaster reins and run with it...
Step one: Announce that a new round of Hogwash is in the works and what the word for the round is.
Step two: Receive private messages from all those submitting daffynitions for the round. If the sennight is running out with fewer daffynitions than desired, post a reminder on the invite thread.
Step three: collate the daffynitions, include the correct answer, and post in a seperate thread after seven days.
Step four: Post answer and voting statistics in a seperate thread after seven days

Say, how come these Roolz never got locked?
Well, since they aren't, I have a question for y'all.
What with participation in The Game at quite a high level, I wonder if there is any interest in returning to a competition basis; i.e., reinstituting a scoring system. But I'm thinking there should be not only an incentive for submitting definitions, but for the moderator (read hogmaster) as well.
Just ruminating here, boss._________________________

Hi, Jackie, this game keeps intriguing me , but when I read the rules there is one thing I don't understand. Someone puts up a word. The others give definitions but are they or are thay not allowed to use
dictionary help? Does it have to be an invention of your own?
It seems like fun. But you really must understand it well, before you join , no?
Would you give me an additional explanation, if you please? Thanks in advance.

You can't use a dictionary, you have to invent a definition.
The game has two parts, one of them is trying to invent the most likely-sounding definition in order to fool the most people into voting for your definition as the real one. You can also try to trick people into voting for your definition.
The other is to try to figure out which is the real definiton, which only the Hogmaster knows.
There's a whole scoring method but it seems to vary from Hogmaster to Hogmaster, and nobody's really counting anyway.
You don't have to have come up with a definiton to vote. Don't be shy to jump right in. It's all in good fun.

I would think that referring to a dictionary before making your own guess would be poor form at best. The definition a participant would offer should be completely made up.

I'm pumping the same amount basically all of the time. I generally pump 2 oz. each session. Doesn't matter what time of day, almost always 2 oz. Once a day I can get 3 oz. And once a day I can get 1.5 oz.
Shouldn't my nighttime pumping sessions be yielding more than my daytime? Especially evening?
I'm confused.
Oh, if it helps to know, my LO is 5 weeks old and I'm BFAR and I only started pumping with increased frequency on Monday.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

The natural remedies market is a pricey one, sometimes outlandishly so. iHerb does its best to bring the right stuff to its customers at the right, competitive price. That's why I keep coming back!
I have not used this much, but when I did I noticed that my BP was about 10 points lower just a few hours later. I do not normally have high blood pressure, but it sometimes goes up when I am experiencing anxiety. I have had a stressful year and I have found that this helps bring my BP down.

1. So first of all, you have to create a "Contact Me" and a "Thank You" page
[*Update: Use the recently started Blogger Static Pages method to create these two pages on your blog.
2. Link these pages from the top-menu or from the bottom (footer of your blog).

My take on culture is that it cleaves to the aesthetic but cleaves from the religious (I do not know whether moral and religious are one and the same). I feel culture is expression of the experiences of life. If the mode of expression is common then culture can bind people together like nothing can ( case in point India and Pakistan). If expressing problems/experiences of life is culture then the extension of that - finding answers or solutions to the problems goes into the realms of religion. And nothing can divide people like religion. Those are just my thoughts on the subject.
Ps: and now I'm all talked out on the issue. Gasping for breathe.

what culture is, is the output of human thought and endeavor (even including frippery or frivolity, I suppose).

Sure thing, tsuwm, and the output of all of our endeavors has a singular function.
My bold font definition of Culture wasn't pomp. It was meant to delimit the term in a manner suitable for an informative discussion. As it were I failed to get purchase.
Hey, wait! I got another good idea! Be back in a minute...

In September a visiting professor at the University of Alabama anthropology department gave a talk on his digs in the Great Rift Valley in Africa with the immodest objective of assigning the few footprints and even fewer bones found there to the group Homo sapiens. A bold assertion in that the volcanic ash matrix they were in dated 1.3 million years BP.
But were they really our direct line ancestors? Much taller than the famous Lucy, and with brains almost as big as our own, a clincher was found in the physical evidence which showed that they had a Culture.
In the form of crude knives.

While crude knives alone do not necessarily prove the exisitance of Culture (some monkeys are said to sharpen rocks to throw) these knives were relatively heavy and were found at three sites over thirty miles distant from the place of quarrying.
And Culture, either by language or gestures, selected a female (most likely) individual to carry the cutters and scrapers to the site of the kill.
An early manifestation of Culture.

I would say culture is all that which is not nature. This is wonderful! And accurate, I think.
Having taken several Sociology courses, my thinking turns to that def. first. There are so many different levels! (She said, going in the opposite direction from Branny's succinct generalization.) There is "British culture" and "American culture", for example. But wait! Is there really? Do all Britons have the same culture? No! (And, did I get you to think that I was going to leave that sweeping statement as a perfect target? )
Everywhere, I think, there are sweeping likenesses (gender, religion, skin color, rural, urban, etc.) And also less-wide ones (education level, single parent households, homes with a person who requires constant care). But we can narrow cultures down, too: people who play clarinet, people who read King Lear .
Every one in these (and other) cultural groups has at least something in common with the others in that group.
But can we take culture, like language, as specific to an individual? Not an idiolect but an idioculture?
