We will always remember Hurricane Sandy. Not for the mighty wrath of her destruction, but for the odd serendipity of her timing.
The day she struck, a Monday, we received an offer on our loft in the city. We had been planning to put it on the market for months, and had packed away frighteningly massive amounts of memorabilia, papers, photographs and household goods in preparation. We had made plans to have the whole place painted—something we had not done since our children were little and never all at once, professionally. (I still remember the terrible stiff neck and shoulders that came after I decided to paint the ceiling myself one year in a manic Martha Stewart-inspired spruce-up.) We rented a storage unit (near the East River—not the best location during a hurricane) for excess furniture and "stuff" so the loft would have that airy open look buyers desire and dream about when they think of loft-living. If I have learned anything from having too much space, it is: you can have too much space.
Space to store a decade of childhood artwork for each child—four in our case. Space for drum sets and guitars and old amplifiers and microphones, two pianos—only one of which ever gets played. Space for a complete set of National Geographic magazines from the '60s onward, thousands of record albums and their twin cassette tapes, enough science fiction to stock Mars, stubs of candles, toys, a cradle, Mason jars, videocassettes... I could go on. But I embarrass myself. At this point, I can hear my daughter's admonishment "First-world problems, Mom!" I know. I am drowning in first-world problems, while friends in Breezy Point and Staten Island are still digging sand out of their houses, I am packing up the excess of our lives and wondering how to let go.
How to let go of the home my husband built, first for himself and his two little boys and then for me and the family we would make together. How to let go of the pebble wall my son and I tiled, where we had added a few stones from the Delaware River. Only we know which ones.
When I wake up early in the city now, my thoughts racing to keep up with my newly-active life, I look out the front windows on Franklin Street at the beautiful red brick buildings across the street and at the sliver of open sky facing south. The new World Trade Center rises like an elongated pyramid toward completion. Its reflective coating lets it appear to float in the day-lit sky. At night, it sparkles with light. (Perplexingly, it even sparkled when the rest of downtown was dark after Sandy.) I never thought I would miss its dreadful reminder of the day we saw it fall. But in these early mornings, I think I may.
The offer came before we could paint. Before we even cleaned out the pantry or polished the floors. It was easy to accept, coming as it did without much effort on our part. No hordes of open-house gawkers or haughty brokers condemning our humble home. Just a phone call and a few hours spent waiting in the corner diner, while the potential buyers inspected their future home. After accepting the offer, our family spent the week together in the dark, lighting candle stubs (they came in handy after all) and enjoying each other's company in our family home. This week, a thought appeared during silence that we will be home wherever we are. Sandy, we will never forget you.

Defense responds in Vandals' second scrimmage
MOSCOW, Idaho – A night at the movies takes on an entirely different meaning for a football coaching staff. For the University of Idaho's defensive coaches, the film after Saturday's scrimmage will be a lot more enjoyable than the one after the Vandals' earlier session.
"The defense responded to the previous scrimmage pretty well,' said coach Robb Akey as he compared Saturday's effort to the one that give up nine touchdowns earlier this week. "They were more disciplined; a little more assignment-correct. They came out with a better mindset in regards to, 'Hey, we better show up and play.'
"There was a sense of urgency."
The defense had the upper hand in the early going of Saturday's scrimmage with an inspired effort that led to four three-and-outs before the offense started to ignite. Camryn Harris provided the spark when he confounded a couple defenders with some razzle dazzle along the sideline en route to turning a short pass from Dominique Blackman into a 39-yard touchdown.
Blackman was the beneficiary of another catch-and-run TD when Todd Handley converted a short pass into a 72-yard score. In keeping with the theme, Mike Scott and Taylor Davis hooked up in similar fashion with Scott outrunning the defenders across the field for a 67-yards TD. James Baker added a two-yard for a score and true freshman Jace Johnson booted a 50-yard field goal.
Once again, the quarterbacks – all five of them, found a host of receivers with 10 players catching at least one pass. Scott (92 yards) and Roman Runner (39 yards) had four catches each, while Handley netted 82 yards on his two catches. Harris caught three for 62.
Defensively, Conrad Scheidt and Tracy Carter had five tackles each (each also had a sack) with sophomore Maxx Forde a frequent visitor in the offensive backfield with three sacks. Carter joined Quinton Bradley in having one interception.
"I like the progress we're making as a team," Akey said. "I like the way these guys have gone about things."
The Vandals scrimmage again Thursday at 2:30 p.m. with the season opener on Aug. 30 against Eastern Washington at the Kibbie Dome. Kickoff is 6 p.m. for the Thursday night game. Single-game and season tickets are on sale at www.GoVandals.com or by calling 208-885-6466.

Family offices get hitched
SandAire and Lord North Street, two of Britain's best-known multi-family office advisers, are merging to create a business which will look after assets estimated to be nearly £4 billion.
Following the deal, Alexandra Altinger, most recently an executive with hedge fund outfit Lansdowne Partners, will become chief executive, freeing up the founders at both firms to spend more time advising existing clients and finding new ones.
Alex Scott, founder of SandAire, said: "It feels right that, at this stage of my career. I'll be spending more time on external affairs than internal ones." He said Adam Wethered and William Drake, founders of Lord North, would also remain involved: "Our businesses are incredibly similar," he added.
Scott declined to comment on the identity of his clients, with the exception of endowment funds managed for Exeter College, Oxford, where he was an undergraduate. He refused to confirm the estimates by analysts that the merged firms would manage nearly £4 billion: "We like to keep that kind of thing private."
Multi-family offices offer professional advice for family offices which cannot afford to hire their own teams of administrators and investment professionals, or choose not to do so.
Individuals in the sector reckon advisers spend a third of their time looking after investment issues and two-thirds dealing with family administration, which can be fearsomely complex and spread across different countries. "The personal relationship between each side is incredibly important," said an adviser at a rival firm.
Investment issues have become increasingly important to multi-family offices as individuals have sought ways to protect their fortunes from stock market volatility. Last year, family office MaxCap Partners merged with advisory firm Cunningham Loewenstein to form Holbein Partners to boost their joint resources and increase their investment clout.
Alexandra Altinger spent 11 years at US investment firm Wellington Management, leading its sub-advisory and fund distribution division. She was later hired by Sir Paul Ruddock to develop long-only client and business relationships at hedge fund outfit Lansdowne Partners in 2012. She will look after a team of 50 employees at the merged firm, which has offices in London, Geneva and Singapore.
Investment banking boutique Pakenham Partners acted as Lord North Street's sole financial adviser in the transaction. Maclay Murray & Spens was its legal counsel. Macfarlanes served as legal counsel to SandAire, which did not use external banking advice.

Spring in the Catskills is off the hook!
Nodding her head in agreement was Roscoe Mayor Betty Grossman, who had driven up from Florida to celebrate her birthday on the auspicious day. "Wouldn't miss it for the world," she shared, while hugging friends and loved ones who had shown up to wade into the frigid waters, along with the rest of the town. Having heard that celebrity Sally Jesse Raphael would be in attendance, I was crestfallen when State Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther informed me that Raphael was scheduled to appear at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum in Livingston Manor later in the morning. I asked pal Jerry Cohen to snap a pic of the TV icon for me, before heading home to dust off my tux and head out the door, with Dharma the Wonder Dog all dolled up.
Our formal attire was called for, since the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce (www.catskills.com) "The Catskill Club" speakeasy fundraiser was being held at the nightclub "Hype" in Monticello (www.monticelloraceway.com), which had been transformed into a 1920s speakeasy, replete with secret codes, gaming tables, flappers, gangsters and a few gun molls dancing the Charleston while dice were tossed and the roulette wheel spun. Fortunate to have two ladies on the hook, I escorted The River Reporter's Barbara Soscie Matos to the black tie soiree, and the party was in full swing by the time we made our grand entrance. Sponsored by Empire Resorts, EPR Properties and Hart Howerton, song stylist Donna Singer (www.donna-singer.com) headlined the entertainment, which was further enhanced by costumed members of the Spencer Daniels Agency, the Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop and the Swing Shift Orchestra, all of whom added (IMHO) fantastic ambiance to the affair.

This male star of a top 10 movie in the past ten years who was supposed to be a huge star is now a gay escort in Los Angeles and Vegas
Highest grossing movies from 2002 to 2012:
LOTR: Two Towers
LOTR: Return of the King
Shrek 2
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
The Dark Knight
Toy Story 3
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2
The Avengers
Take it, supersleuths!ReplyCancel
I think we'd have to look at the Top 10 from each year. That's a little ambiguous.
My guess: Buzz Lightyear. 😉ReplyCancel
Green Wave, I realized that after I posted it. I'll just say it….Ben AffleckReplyCancel
Woody from toy story? Yeah, I got nothing..ReplyCancel
Wouldn't Woody be more fitting?ReplyCancel
Doesn't Elijah Wood still have that invisible dog show or something?
I could see it being Hayden.
This website has highest gross by year. Still don't know how to make it clicky. 🙂ReplyCancel
Getting your lightyear buzzed costs extra.ReplyCancel
Nick Stahl, maybe?ReplyCancel
If true, I think J Sara has nailed it.
Elijah Wood was never supposed to be a huge star that I can recall in the past 10 years, and yes, he has the show Wilfred on FX.ReplyCancel
Sam Worthington? The guy from Avatar was pegged as the next big action star. What had he been up to?ReplyCancel
Not Smeagol – Andy Serkis is crazy busy these days.
Elijah Wood is on the show "Wilfred" (which I've heard is hilarious).
Affleck is also busy, directing, acting and a producing credit.
Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear) is currently on a network sitcom (Last Man Standing).
Off to a doc appt – hoping it's not infection, just strep!ReplyCancel
Lotta, that's a great guess. He was everywhere for a few months and now…nothing.ReplyCancel
Nevermind, Sam Worthington is still everywhere.ReplyCancel
Sam Worthington has a lot of projects lined up, to include Avatar sequels. Not him. Nick Stahl isn't a bad guess considering his recent problems, though he is married, not that it would preclude his being a gay escort. Terminator 3 was not though a top 10 movie of the past decade, so I think he's out for this blind. Hayden Christensen makes the most sense.ReplyCancel
My original thought was Haley Joel Osment but The Sixth Sense was over ten years ago and it looks like he still works, other than that I don't have a clue.ReplyCancel
I like Stahl.
Also what about Brendan Routh? He was supposed to hit it big after Superman Returns, but he's gone nowhere except for a few small parts (Scott Pilgrim, etc.) and short arcs on TV. He also had that mini-scandal about his bulge being distractingly large in Superman's red briefs.ReplyCancel
Bean wasn't a hobbit he was Boromir
Billy Boyd is back in Scotland touring with his band and Dom Monaghan is filming plus on tv with his animal showReplyCancel
I'm pretty sure he was. He was a well known child actor.
I'm saying Hayden. Rumors have been out there plus Rachel Bilson can't be cheap.ReplyCancel
Ugh, I saw an article where Sam Worthingtin.got arrested a month ago while in film location.
Back to square 1ReplyCancel
Crapinator 3 was a top 10 movie in 2003 if you're going top ten by each year. So he could still be in.
But, you're right. Hayden makes the most sense.ReplyCancel
Nick stahl was in sin city as the yellow guy and just because he's married doesn't mean he won't fk men for cash 9/10 junkies would do anything for drug moneyReplyCancel
Justin Chatwin's on Shameless.
Nick Stahl's worked this year and last.
Ditto Brandon Routh.
Hayden Christiansen's imdb page has future projects, but nothing since 2010.ReplyCancel
Also, Superman was not a Top 10 movie, or else they'd have made more starring Brandon Routh. Alas, it was not, and they did not.ReplyCancel
Unfortunately, the Kitsch of Death is still popular.
Superman Returns was a top ten movie in 2006. If we could establish what Enty meant by "a top 10 movie in the past ten years" it would be much easier.ReplyCancel
I took it to mean top 10 movies of the decade, not a top 10 at the box office in any given time period or top 10 in a year. Regardless of that, based on prior blinds, reveals, and the stunning lack of credits (and even the quality of credits post Jumper) this has got to be Hayden.ReplyCancel
"supposed to be a huge star" sounds like someone who was pushed heavily but couldn't fill theaters. Also, I think top 10 could be box office and/or critical acclaim.
I could see Nick Stahl turning tricks b/c of his addiction problems, but "escort"? Makes it sound like this person is commanding better prices than trading BJs for a rock.
My random guesses (yes, they're all still notching credits on IMDB):
– Haley Joel Osment
– Clive Owen
– Emile Hirsch
I'm leaning Emile Hirsch on this one.ReplyCancel
See, I don't know Nick Stahl, and it sounds like it would be someone I did.
So strike Brandon (glad of that!) and so it's Haydan.
He was also the popular guess for that blind about everyone stringing this young gay guy who ended up flat on his face, and also there's been the Rachel blind about how she's so effed up she loves Hayden because he's a true friend and she needs that. Made me feel sorry for her.ReplyCancel
I think Enty means a top 10 movie for the year during the last decade.
So, it could be:
2002: John Corbett, My Big Fat Greek Wedding
2003: Nick Stahl, Terminator 3
2006: Brandon Routh, Superman Returns
Hayden Christensen had two top 10 movie, so I doubt it's him.
Nick Stahl, and his well documented drug issues, is the likely candidate.
Um, do you just hire him out of a catalog or something? Enty, what have you been reading? Just give us a title and we'll take it from there 😉ReplyCancel
Nick Stahl is a great guess! I always thought he was so talented and then he just fell off the face of the earth.ReplyCancel
What about Josh Hartnett?
He has IMDB credits but nothing substantial and I thought he was supposed to be a big deal.
Gawd if that's the case I'm buying a ticket to Vegas!ReplyCancel
Nick Stahl is a bad drug addict and living on and off the streets of Skid Row LA. He's married and has a young child. He actually had a missing persons report on him a couple of months ago but was supposedly in rehab? Last I heard he was home and his wife was trying to get/keep him clean.ReplyCancel
He's on Shameless on HBO.ReplyCancel
DBZee, wishing good things for you but ya know that Strep is also an infection right?
Feel better!ReplyCancel
He's been really busy. The two Titans movies, the Terminator movie, the Avatar sequels, as well as other movies. No way this is Worthington.ReplyCancel
Ummm hello – Mike Myers! Def!ReplyCancel
I wanted to say Hayden, but Rachel wouldn't be a very good beard if she let that happen and I'm thinking that he is still too well known. The old rumor is that he was once openly gay but that George Lucas stuffed him into the closet. There was another rumor about him being hooked on meth. I hope it's not him. I think he still has potential.ReplyCancel
I'm not saying Nick Stahl isn't doing what he has to in order to support his habit but i don't believe that anyone would want someone as strung out as he is to "escort" him anywhere.
I seem to remember a variation of this blind being here awhile ago and I was convinced that it was Hayden. If Bilson is his beard who is paying her? She's only on my radar because of gossip sites. I've never seen her in anything.
If it's not Hayden I have no clue.ReplyCancel
Orlando BloomReplyCancel
It's not Clive Owen; he has had great success being the face of Lancome Pour Homme and had quite a few movies since. He's had steady work (plus he's one of my favorite actors so I'm quite adept at following him).
I do like the Hayden guess a lot though 🙂 He was in that movie "Jumper" but hasn't really been seen too much as a leading man since.ReplyCancel
I am 1,000 percent sure this is not Nick Stahl.ReplyCancel
ooh like emile hirsch – whatever DID happen to him?ReplyCancel
I could see this being Hayden. The Star Wars franchise is all that he has done that are big shows, but technically, they could be considered one project. He could also escort with an exclusive service where clients only get revealed in a shakedown like Heidi Fleiss and her client list.ReplyCancel
Orlando Bloom? Pirates hyped the hell outta him and after that only crappy movies. And I am still convinced he is gay, married to a VS model or not. Once the rumors about him started hr got married and a father superfast and there is no chemistry between him and his wife whatsoever.ReplyCancel
What about Kip Purdue? The timeline may be off, but in the late 1990s he was supposed to be a huge star and them he disappeared.ReplyCancel
Nope. Not Clive Owen. He lives in London, has a wife and children.ReplyCancel
oh kip pardue! driven or drive? whatever that movie was and remember the titans.
he was also in Rules of Attraction
was he ever touted to be a big thing though. i just remember him cos he was pretty 🙂ReplyCancel
Do tell! I don't know what you mean…ReplyCancel
Ok! That makes more sense DBZee! I have a sinus infxn too! Like the worst one I've ever had in my life. I was worried it had gone into my lungs too bc thats no fun at all. Hmmmmm! Very interesting….. Is it that time of year, or some wicked CDaN curse 😛ReplyCancel
Oh he totally fits that blind about the star who got used. He's been off the grid for years and is now attached to a few random projects. I could see that fitting HC.ReplyCancel
Hayden is the one who was touted as the Next Big Thing. None of the others being mentioned were.ReplyCancel
Clive Owen is hot and this is not him as he is an awesome actor.
I vote Hayden. He is not an awesome actor.ReplyCancel
I want this to be Steven Seagal.
Those under the weather, I swear by taking a Zinc supplement daily. I was super prone to sinus and bronchial infections, but since I've started taking Zinc and a B Complex supplement, I rarely get more than just a mild cold.ReplyCancel
If I hired an escort & it turned out to be a once famous celebrity from not even that long ago, I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut about it, I'd be telling everyone.
And speaking of Kip Pardue, he did this movie with Tara Reid that's actually really good, imo. It's where he takes her to a secluded cabin on their honeymoon and he won't let her leave and terrorizes her. I know, I know, a straight to DVD Tara Reid movie, but I swear it's goodReplyCancel
Harry Potter is a gay escort? Hmmm.ReplyCancel
My sister in Houston has one, too. I teach art to elementary school kids so I don't get sick very often (I've had 8 years of immune system build up around the little petri dishes!), but this season has been brutal.
@Cornbread, my doc said the same thing (and echinacea), but she said to wait until I was done with the z-pac.
Germs be gone! I hope you all feel better soon!ReplyCancel
Puggle, did they resolve the ending of Carnivale?
Hope you feel better! I agree, the sinus is a bear to deal with – I started feeling sick Friday afternoon, so had to suffer through Saturday and Sunday before I could even make an appointment. I've been swilling Emergen-C and Airborne like it's the nectar of the gods.ReplyCancel
@DBZee, This is so late, but i wonder if there's something to an immune build up/protection by frequent exposure? I worked at a bank in the operations section; we had lots of quick/fast contact w/tons of people and their documents [cash, CDs, other transactional docts.] We NEVER got 'the flu' that everybody else got.
At worst, we came down w/some sniffles. It was so obvious and ran over such a long period of time that we joked about it.
OT: We could track the lunar cycle w/o looking at a calendar. Some people unfortunately go totally nutsy cuckoo during a full moon. It's a very sad thing to see.ReplyCancel
Totally Hayden! YowzaReplyCancel

Even if you're a regular visitor to the area, there are so many attractions and things to do that it's difficult to take them all in. Of course, when you get to know a place, you tend to return to familiar places. But maybe you'd like to step off the beaten path and discover something new?
Here are a few suggestions to break with routine and explore other sides of Québec City:
You've probably walked past Parliament, the fortifications, or magnificent churches many times, but have you gone in? There's no time like the present to satisfy your curiosity.
Or maybe you're drawn to the hidden side of history. Explore city neighbourhoods from a different historical perspective with a theme tour, or take a look at the Old City by lantern-light and hear about its murders and mysteries.
Ever notice the gigantic murals all over the city? Beautiful and alive with details, each of them tells a story: the founding of Québec City, the growth of the port since the days of New France, 400 hundred years of Québec political life, the traditions of the Wendat First Nation, and much more!
A walk around Parliament Hill and the Old City will uncover many, but you'll find more all over the region. Create your own tour!
Like to know how things are made and how they work? Visit some of the local economuseums to see artisans at work and learn more about traditional crafts.
Featured products include, wood sculpture, blackcurrant, and food canning. Not only will you pick up new insights, you might find a few gift ideas too!
On one side of the square, you probably know Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church, built in place Royale over three centuries ago. But did you know you can go back even further in time for an amazing encounter with the explorer Samuel De Champlain?
Through the magic of 3D technology, you'll see him tell of his travels and you'll admire a wonderful model of Québec City in 1635 at Musée de la Place-Royale. It's your turn to discover the "New World."
Québec City has a new green space—a linear park along rivière Saint-Charles. Thanks to the restoration of the downtown riverbanks, you can now hop on your bike or stroll the length of this lovely 32 kilometre long walking path.
You'll find a variety of birds and plants as you visit natural and historic sites. Besides cycling, many other activities are possible throughout the year. An oasis!
Traces of New France are still to be found in the Québec City area, notably in the form of authentic 18th century homes, most of which are classified as historical sites.
Among them are:
- Maison Chevalier in the Old City
- Maison Henry-Stuart on Grande Allée
- Maison Hamel-Bruneau and Maison des Jésuites in the Sainte-Foy—Sillery—Cap-Rouge district
- Maison Ephraïm-Bédard in Trait-Carré
- Maison Girardin in Beauport
- Maison Drouin on Île d'Orléans.
Come soak up the ambiance of days gone by!
You've undoubtedly set foot in the city's major parks. But did you know that Québec City also boasts numerous elegant gardens, including a botanical garden?
Roger-Van den Hende Gardens on the Université Laval campus welcomes you to a marvellous six hectare site, complete with a water garden, arboretum, pergola, rose garden, and plant collections bursting with colours and scents.
Other gardens are every bit as enticing—some are historical, others have been the centrepiece for urban revitalization initiatives, and some are just plain beautiful!

Pilgrims on the Mayflower spot land, Jack the Ripper kills for the last time, the PGA integrates, Rolling Stone magazine debuts, and the Berlin Wall begins to fall, all on this day.
1918: Spiro Agnew, who would become the 39th vice president of the United States under President Richard Nixon in 1969, is born in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1973, Agnew would resign after pleading no contest to a federal income tax evasion charge, making him the only vice president in United States history to resign because of criminal charges.

2013 Gest Fellow Kathryn FalvoMonday, August 19th, 2013
Gest Fellow Kathryn Falvo is a Ph.D. student in History at Penn State University. Her project is entitled "Spurning the Protection of Man: Quaker Women and Travel in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries."
I've spent this last month at Haverford researching the lives of traveling Quaker women, who ventured beyond their communities, states, and even continents to participate in the wider Quaker world of the 18th and 19th centuries. Although the original project was to simply understand Quaker women's motivations, my time at Haverford has showed me how complex this particular kind of traveling is. With the information gained here (and with future visits to Philadelphia) I hope to round out my thoughts for a full dissertation on the topic.
Unlike other Christian women who travel for their faith, Quaker women (particularly in these early years) were rarely evangelistic. Their movements read like a catalogue of social calls, moving from small meetinghouse to the dwellings of various Friends. Traveling Quakers take vigil over the sick, participate in local social affairs, and have religious conversations with small gatherings of Friends. In short, they participate in the domestic life of the places they visit. Rather than visiting strangers in an attempt at conversion, these women visit known Quaker strongholds to strengthen an already existing fellowship. Through these visitations, they maintain a socially and politically close knit community – even across the Atlantic and through years of national and international warfare.
As I am finding out though, travel meant different things to this community as the eighteenth century passed into the nineteenth. In the 18th century, religious visits called to the tradition of the "Valiant Sixty," the original Quakers who were sent out with a biblical mission to spread and strengthen the Quaker faith. The goal of the Valiant Sixty was to visit rural areas to strengthen small Quaker communities, and bound together a wider church with love and fellowship. Eighteenth century travelers, both male and female, (literally) followed in these footsteps. They established a mapped network of travel routes, lodging contacts, and small meetings, and created a cohesiveness to the faith. As the century turned, however, various larger social changes altered the significance of this travel. Traditional gender roles changed as the market economy changed, placing more demanding domestic expectations on women and keeping them at home more frequently. As marriage ideals changed, some women became more hesitant to leave their husbands for long periods of time. Similarly, relationships between parents and children changed, and leaving children for extended travels was considered far more irresponsible than it had been a few decades earlier. Changing technologies (like railroads) and the emergence of travel as a leisure activity altered the ways that women moved and the financial responsibility of the church and ministers.
At the same time that their opportunities were limited, though, women found the traditional networks laid by earlier Quakers to be a useful tool for the political endeavors of the 19th century. As antislavery picked up steam and the Grimké sisters propelled the feminist movement into action, travel became politicized in a way that it had not necessarily been before. In this sense, travel was a traditional of the Quaker faith that helped propel women into political action and can help explain (alongside the liberal policies of the faith more generally) why some of the biggest names in feminist history – like Lucretia Mott and Angelina and Sarah Grimké – came from the Quaker faith.
I spent my month here pouring over manuscripts left by various female travelers. The best access to their thoughts and experiences is through their journals, which document their religious and worldly experiences. Fortunately many of these were published and are now housed in Haverford's rare book collection. Others found their way into Friends Miscellany or other Friends' journals. By printing and publicizing them, the Quaker community showed its support for female travelers and the importance of the religious/social work they achieved. However, it also shows the biases of this community. Published journals are usually only from women who traveled abroad, and are highly politicized. Less printed journals exist after the turn of the 19th century. Haverford also houses many of the unpublished diaries of traveling women – women like Ann Shipley, for example, who traveled through the Southern United States thirty years before the Civil War, and remarks upon the horror of seeing slavery firsthand. I was also able to make use of an extensive letter collection, detailing the communications of women with one another while abroad and reading the advice passed from generation to generation about travel. Some women kept detailed accounts of their routes and the miles they traveled – a number-focused booklet that sheds new light on the meaning of distance and religious devotion.
While here I received fabulous insights from the archivists, historians, and librarians at Haverford. Walter Hjelt Sullivan pointed out to me the original religious importance of travel for the early Quaker church, which had previously been too far out of my radar. Margaret Schaus led me to consider the meaning of calculated pilgrimage in different areas, opening up my thought process to other eras and demographics. Susan M. Stuard showed me valuable student work on Charity Cook, a rather elusive (though crucial) traveler in the 19th century. Emma Lapsansky-Werner pushed me to consider the meaning of "community" in various eras, and challenged me to think about the particular family circumstances of women on the road. John Anderies pointed me to a substantial map collection, a necessary visualization of the routes Quakers took, and helpful for understanding the movements of various women as meetings emerged and dissipated in different eras. Ann Upton showed me the Friends' Rules of Discipline, and pointed me towards a wealth of secondary and published material. Diana Peterson aided me with some of the more difficult biographical work, hunted manuscripts down for me, and even traced a few slang words from the 19th century when we were stumped with Quakers' writing. I can't express enough gratitude for the work of these excellent historians. I have been extraordinarily grateful for such a wonderful opportunity.

Who was the first person you saw ENing? What do you remember about it? How did you feel or think when you saw or heard about it?
I was standing in BestFed breastfeeding store in Phoenix Az when I saw a woman cuddeling a 3 year old across her lap. She stood up, still holding the toddler and I realized she was nursing. I remember thinking, "Oh my gosh! She is nursing that toddler!" Konur was 6 weeks old at the time. I thought it was so cool and told her so, we became very good friends.

2005 PIT Highlights
New Airlines: Pittsburgh welcomed Southwest Airlines in May 2005. Other new low cost service was launched to Myrtle Beach by Hooters Air. Midwest Airlines added Kansas City, Mo. in August.
Increased Passengers: More people are flying in and out of Pittsburgh due to better fares and more choice. Origination traffic was up 10 percent in 2005.
A Better Baggage System: The country's largest, fully automated, in-line baggage system is at Pittsburgh International Airport. In 2005, the Airport Authority began operating the system resulting getting your bags faster and lowering airport costs
More Security: Four new lanes for security screenings opened at Pittsburgh International Airport, supplementing the Main Security Checkpoint's seven lanes. The result – saving you time at the airport!
Better Detection: Trace Portals The Transportation Security Administration has deployed an explosives detection trace portal to the passenger security checkpoint at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT). Trace portals allow TSA to expand its capability to detect explosives in a more traveler friendly manner.
Saved the Military Bases: The Airport Authority played a big part in assisting the PIT-BRAC Task Force in presenting a successful strategy to save the 911th Airlift Wing from being closed by the U.S. Department of Defense's Base Realignment and Closure Commission.
Increased Parking – In 2005, parking at the airport is up about eight percent compared to 2004. Now with Southwest and other airlines offering low fares, the Airport Authority added 400 extended term parking spaces to be prepared to handle the increased demand from local flyers. A second expansion phase is planned for 2006 when another 700 spaces will be added.
In-line baggage system – In January 2005, the Airport Authority updated checked baggage screening at Pittsburgh International Airport. The new system means passengers are no longer required to carry checked bags to a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) explosive detection system (EDS). Now, airline ticket counter personnel will tag baggage and place it on the belt behind the counter while passengers proceed freely to the security checkpoint. TSA screeners operating the EDS equipment are located within the new 10,000 square foot screening room on the south end of the Landside Terminal. The upgrade saves passengers a lot of time in the check in process.
Flight Information Displays – New monitors and a new system for displaying flight information makes reading the flight information much easier, is more visibly appealing. The system was installed through out the airport with new locations above the security checkpoint.
New Website – Pittsburgh International Airport changed its cyberspace look. Just in time for the busy holiday season, a new www.FlyPittsburgh.com debuted and was easier to navigate. As part of the launch, www.FlyPittsburgh.com is offering a contest to win free airline tickets.
New Canopies – Passengers at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) now have safer, drier access from the baggage claim level of the airport to pick up their rental vehicles. Four canopies over the previously unsheltered garage entrances were completed in July, a project driven by the need to protect arriving passengers from the elements.
New Display Case – The south end of the Ticketing Level of the Landside Terminal now sports a new Pittsburgh International Airport display case completed this year. Rotating displays for area destinations will be featured beginning next year.
Escorts for Passengers: The Ambassadors Escort Program assists passengers arriving or departing from Pittsburgh International Airport who may need a little extra help locating their gate or navigating the airport. Through the Ambassador Escort Program, Ambassadors will meet the passenger and escort them through the airport making sure he or she gets on the correct flight or arrives and meets ground transportation.
TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc. announced on November 14 that it has selected Pittsburgh International Airport as the site for its new CFM56 engine center that will eventually employ approximately 200 people. The 75,000 square-foot center, scheduled to commence operations in early 2006, will offer off-wing maintenance, repair and overhaul services on CFM56-3 series engines, as well as on-wing support services for all CFM56 series engines.
Reopened Gates – In response to growing demand by the airlines, Pittsburgh International Airport reopened 11 gates at the end of B concourse. This move is made possible by the increased origination passenger traffic that has been growing at Pittsburgh International Airport since the beginning of the year.
AIRMALL Highlights
New stores have opened in the last year.
On landside, City of Bridges Café opened. It is a restaurant that caters to the meeters and greeters who come to the airport for pick up and drop off. It has a theme of Pittsburgh's bridges.

Veterans help comrades at Veterans HomeBy PATRICK MCArdle
Staff writer | July 14,2014BENNINGTON The Vermont Veterans Home has furnished a room that will give residents a peaceful place to think and recover with the help of a $30,000 donation from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6471 in Manchester.
The ribbon was cut at the Namaste room Sunday, following a picnic lunch supported by the Vermont Veterans of Foreign Wars for all the residents.
Melissa Jackson, administrator at the home, explained that namaste is a Hindu word that means honoring the spirit within. The home already has one Namaste room which Jackson said had been copied not only across the country but in other countries like England and the Netherlands.
Weve had incredible success with this program, giving non-pharmacological interventions to anxiety and dementia behaviors, and we were finding that for our individuals with a mental illness or (multiple sclerosis) the soothing environment helped their symptoms as well, she said.
The small room, about 10 feet by 15 feet, is now furnished with new, comfortable chairs and couches. It has a monitor that continually plays peaceful, relaxing images which on Sunday were pictures of puppies. The room also provides a view to a man-made trout fishing pond on the grounds of the home.
Al Faxon, the COO of the veterans home, said he made a presentation to the Manchester VFW after their members decided they wanted to make a donation.
Once I showed them what we would like to do, they jumped right on board with it, he said.
According to Faxon, the donation, which Manchester VFW members at the veterans home Sunday said may have been more than $30,000, has not only paid to furnish the Namaste room but provided couches and recliners that have been placed throughout the home.
You wont believe how this benefits our veterans and members that live here, Faxon told the VFW members.
Post 6471 has supported the veterans home before. In 2012, their members donated more than $12,000 in outdoor furniture for the home.
Rein Tofer, commander of the Manchester VFW, said there are about 250 members of Post 6471 and they voted to use the majority of the money from an account specifically set aside to collect donations for their comrade veterans instead of for smaller projects around the Manchester area.
Joseph Krawczyk Jr., chairman of the Vermont Veterans Homes board of trustees, said local donations like the one that furnished the Namaste room are important. He pointed out that the home is separate from the Veterans Administration and doesnt have the multiple funding sources of the VA.
Its so important that the local community organizations, the service organizations and the fraternal organizations, contribute so much. We struggle every year when we go up to the (Vermont) Legislature with our hand out to make sure we have enough money to take care of the veterans we have here, he said.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Another year, another All-Star nod. From the original 1989 card, we learn that Ryne Sandberg "belted the 100th Home Run of his career, June 19, 1988. The wallop helped Cubs to a 9-3 win vs. Expos." We also learn that in 1988, Sandberg hit 8 triples and was stuck in a four-way tie with Andre Dawson, Andres Galarraga, and the indomitable Ron Gant.

Hello all,
I am fortunate enough to work at home but my work does require me to fly out of town occasionally. I will be starting with one day trips but at some point will need to do over night trips. Does anyone have experience with this, in that, I don't need to pump every day but do need to pump milk prior to my trips and get my baby used to bottles and nipples for when I am out of town. Thanks for your comments.

By Eric Butler
CLOVIS — A cowboy's work still has to go on even when it rains. Naturally then, the rodeo does also.
The first full night of the 33rd annual Pioneer Days PRCA rodeo went off on Thursday evening at the Curry County Mounted Patrol Arena — even if it wasn't all as planned.
No traditional parade of officials and rodeo queens took place before the competition, but a steady rain had stopped by the time Australia's Lance Kelly went into the chute as the first bareback bronc rider.
"There's nothing more fun than a rodeo in the rain," announcer Bill Pulhamus proclaimed over the loudspeakers. "And someone's got to be the first in the mud."
Kelly, however, had no plans of being that person. The Queensland-native finished with a score of 71 — good for second behind Shad Chaloupek of Amarillo.
Although the rain had stopped, the resulting quagmire was certainly still a factor.
"The conditions didn't really bother me that much. You do feel it with the hand in the rigging," Kelly said. "You know how it is when your hand gets cold and you hit it — and it hurts like a bugger. It never hurts during the ride, because you don't have time to think about it, but afterward you can feel it."
Kelly was much more concerned with the weather's effect on the horse he drew.
"During the ride, horses can sense; they can feel the ground beneath them if it's a little wet," Kelly said. "So they don't give it all like they want to. They're cautious."
Another rodeo takes place every year at the same times as this one — at Garden City, Kan. — and some of the competitors had that rodeo on their minds as well.
The Australian rider said he paid an entry fee for both rodeos and only chose to compete in Clovis when the horse he drew gave him a better chance for a good score.
After the steer wrestling, won by Scott Shuldberg of Phoenix with a time of 5.8 seconds, a Melrose competitor also was thinking of Garden City — at least more than the mud.
"I've been muddier," said Jim Bob Allen, who took his steer down in 16.8 seconds, but broke the barrier coming out of the gate. "It's just part of rodeo.

Unless you've been living under a rock, by now you've heard about the case that is certain to keep the armchair lawyers busy for years to come: Oracle vs. Google. It's already been dissected elsewhere, but in a nutshell: Sun owned their GPL-licensed Java virtual machine, and various patents on it; Google wrote their own JVM for the Android platform, Dalvik; Oracle bought Sun; Oracle uses those patents to sue Google over their JVM; Hilarity ensues.
So what? How does that affect us, as PHP and Drupal developers? Well it doesn't... except indirectly via another product that Oracle bought as part of Sun: MySQL.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last six month, you should have already heard about Drupal 7's new-and-shiny database layer, DBTNG. That was only the beginning, though! Much has happened since then to the database, and there's much yet to do. That's where you come in...
OK, I admit it. I'm not the most active Cubs fan around. I wouldn't say I'm a fair weather fan (the Cubs don't have fair weather that often) but I don't follow the team that closely. Perhaps I should start doing so, because I think this may be our year.
No, it's not because this is the 100th anniversary of when the Cubs last won the World Series. It's because the Databases: TNG patch for Drupal 7 has finally landed.
And there has been much rejoicing.
The new database system for Drupal 7 that I've been talking about for the past few months is nearly ready for submission. With chx's visit to Chicago we were able to refactor it for far better modularity and cleanliness. As of yesterday, the system is able to navigate around Drupal, submit forms, create and edit nodes, and view the insanely heavy modules admin page. I still need to make it work with the installer, but it's looking very promising. A very recent copy of the new code base, pre-Drupal-integration, is available in my sandbox.
Here's a brief list of the features it offers:
For those who may not have noticed it, it looks like Drupal 7 is going to require not only PHP 5.2, but MySQL 5.0 as well. It makes sense to do. Drupal 7 won't actually ship for another year, by which point MySQL 4.1 will be on life support anyway. It will also lose all support during the Drupal 7 life cycle. So if you're planning a new server, get ahead of the curve and Go MySQL 5! :-)
Drupal 7: The version that gets over the 20th century.
There has been some discussion recently, in IRC, issue queues, and blogs, about the Drupal 7 database API and its impact on supporting different database engines. While I am still trying to avoid large amounts of public distraction, especially when we're supposed to be trying to get a Drupal 6 beta 1 out the door, I feel it's important to get a few points cleared up lest they lead to confusion later.

The attached chart provides information regarding delinquent loans backing our CL prefix MBS and our non-CL prefix MBS. The information is categorized by MBS pass-through rates with corresponding product type and vintage information (year of MBS issuance). The chart shows the total scheduled unpaid principal balances of loans that were delinquent as to four or more consecutive monthly payments as of December 31, 2010, those balances as a percentage of total scheduled unpaid principal balances of all loans in the related MBS as of that date, and delinquent loan count. The disclosure includes seven categories of conventional fixed-rate mortgage loan product (organized by MBS prefix), two categories of conventional adjustable-rate mortgage loan product, and an additional category (designated as "other") that includes all remaining loan products.
The scheduled unpaid principal balance of single-family MBS loans that were delinquent as to four or more consecutive monthly payments as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $8.1 billion, compared to approximately $8.3 billion as of November 30, 2010.
Market participants should consult our June 1, 2009 MBS Prospectus for additional information regarding our trust agreement provisions and servicing practices regarding troubled loans, including purchases of delinquent loans from MBS trusts.
Note: Since the data contained in the chart is as of December 31, 2010, the chart includes delinquent loans which may have been purchased from MBS in January 2011.

"I have listened to Catholic Answers Live for many years now. The show is informational, inspirational, faith building, and funny.

On this day (Dec. 30) in 1852, Ohio Whig lawyer and future Republican politician Rutherford Birchard Hayes married the "most attractive and lovable" Lucy Ware Webb (1831-1889) in a ceremony at the bride's home.
Lucy, in the first 27 years of her 57-year marriage to Rutherford (or Rud as he was often called), gave birth to eight children, of which five (four sons and one daughter) lived to adulthood.
From all evidence, this marriage was a happy one. The vivacious and intelligent Lucy had received what was probably the best education available to women in the mid-19th century. Along with her two brothers, Lucy first matriculated at Ohio Wesleyan (a Methodist College), where she became the college's first woman student.
This was followed by her enrolling at Wesleyan Female College. Interestingly, Lucy Hayes would become the first first lady to earn a college degree. As Rud wrote after her lamentable death, "Few men ... have been as blessed as I have been. From early mature manhood ... I have enjoyed her society in the most intimate of all relations."
After her husband's election in 1876 as the 19 U.S. president, Lucy became one of the most influential, reform-minded, sociable first ladies. Often criticized in the press for her imposing a ban on alcohol at White House functions, Lucy was often given, sometimes derogatorily, but also, somewhat, undeservingly, the cognomen of "Lemonade Lucy."
This criticism, however, was not entirely warranted because she did provide at state dinners a "Life Saving Station" in the White House, where guests could go to satisfy their need or desire for "liquid refreshment."
Many White House diners, especially foreign diplomats, often were reported to have taken advantage of Lucy's "temperance concession."
As first lady, Lucy was the perfect helpmate for her politician husband. After Rud's entrance into politics in 1865, Lucy changed from being an early feminist and abolitionist, which would have sometimes been a detriment to her politically ambitious husband, to being a highly supportive politician's wife.
Her sociability, charm, intelligence and good political sense were frequently noticed in the press and became almost legendary.
For his part, Rud served honorably in the Union Army during the Civil War and in the political arena thereafter. Among his many political positions were two years in the national House of Representatives and two terms as the governor of Ohio.
On March 2, 1877, he resigned as governor to assume the U.S. presidency. Born Oct. 4, 1822, in Delaware, Ohio, young Hayes received an excellent education – first at the Methodist Academy in Norwalk, Ohio, then at the Webb Preparatory School in Middletown, Conn., and at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, from where he graduated in 1842. He graduated from the Harvard Law School in 1845.
Although Hayes is, perhaps deservedly, one of the lesser known U.S. presidents, he should be remembered as an honest, hardworking, pious public servant who helped, with his demeanor and good common sense, to restore confidence in the U.S. government and the presidency after the widespread corruption and scandals of the Grant era.
When he is remembered at all, it is usually for winning the controversial, highly corrupt presidential election of 1876, when he prevailed, probably illegally, over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden.
Although Hayes' presidency was not overly noteworthy, it should be stated that many of his real and alleged political successes and accomplishments were due to his having as his spouse, "The Ideal First Lady."

My 15 month old boy doesn't like pumped breastmilk or formula. I suspect that he's allergic to cow milk. So only milk source is breastmilk. Now he's at a daycare 3 days a week, about 6 hours a day without having milk at all. I nurse him in the morning (long session) and about 3-4 times during the day (short session) (when he's not at the daycare) and then before he goes to bed. And sometime once in the night. I wonder if he has enough milk? I know that my milk supply is lower than before but I feel let down almost everytime he nurses.
How many oz. he needs per day? What if he doesn't have enough, what should I do?

Is there anything that I can take that won't be harmful to Emily, due to breastfeeding? I have a very sore throat, I'm sneezing & sniffling....and I have gotten her sick too.....
Is there anything that I can take that won't be harmful to Emily, due to breastfeeding? I have a very sore throat, I'm sneezing & sniffling....and I have gotten her sick too.....
Good morning,
I am just getting over a cold so I had occasion to look this up recently. You can take sudafed, but watch out since it might have an effect on your milk supply. Benadryl is something else you can take. Here is a non-LLL resource on the topic:
I've been so tired and had more colds than ever before since having the baby. It is getting to be too much--I almost posted under 'chronic conditions' to see if anyone else has had the same problem! I hope you feel better soon.
It may be too late but you could try taking Echinacea to help speed up getting better. I was always afraid of taking any sudafed or benedryl because it can affect the milk supply. Regular Robintussen is okay too. (The kind with just the Gufisen (sp?) in it). I have found that if I start taking the echinacea as soon as I start feeling something coming on I might not get sick. Doesn't work all the time but enough that I believe it works.
I'll take a look at the link and see what I can find...thanks for the info! It's frustrating....I spent the entire pregnancy feeling fabulous....and now I get hit with this. I'm a little concerned that mine is turning into a sinus infection. And then poor Emily woke up this morning with snot around her nose, and REALLY raspy breathing. She would sneeze once, then immediately cough like 4-5 times.
I know a few people recommended a cold mist humidifier also? Anyone had any luck with that?
Thanks again girls!
Edited to mention that my main goal is to continue breastfeeding...even if I take longer to get better, I don't want to compromise my milk supply. And my understanding is that even if I am sick while breastfeeding, it is better for the baby cause it also helps boost their antibodies?
Yes, your baby is getting your antibodies to whatever little bug you have. And, since you two are presumably spending a large chunk of time together every day, she was exposed to it before either of you showed symptoms.
A humidifier can work wonders - it helps to loosen up the phlegm so that it can come out easier. Makes breathing and eating easier. Standing in the bathroom while you run a really hot shower can have the same effect. Some mothers find their infants can nurse easier in there when their cold is at it's worst.

I'm horrible at html and encoding links, so I apologize in advance for all the long links!
i've always just relied on Tylenol. And drank lots of water.
I had about 8 colds this past winter/spring. In the past I hardly ever got sick! I think the demands of bf and working full-time just took their toll.
Just watch out of you take benadryl, it can make baby drowsy (which isnt necessarily a bad thing

Twenty-four hours removed from the Ryan Howard deal, and there's one easy determination: The Phillies are a lock-stock elite-market franchise. Look at the last six world champions. Sometimes, winning a title might be a curse for the payroll:
- 2003 Marlins: $45M; 2004 Marlins: $42M
- 2004 Red Sox: $127M; 2005 Red Sox: $123M
- 2005 White Sox: $75M; 2006 White Sox: $102M
- 2006 Cardinals: $88M; 2007 Cardinals: $90M
- 2007 Red Sox: $143M; 2008 Red Sox: $133M
- 2008 Phillies: $98M; 2009 Phillies: $130M*
Of the last six champions, only one besides the Phillies (2005 White Sox) substantially raised their payroll the next season. Those White Sox made the following moves to raise their payroll:
- Signed Jon Garland to 3Y/$29M extension, avoiding final arbitration year.
- Traded Aaron Rowand to Phillies for Jim Thome, adding approx. $30M over four seasons.
- Signed Paul Konerko to 5Y/$60M deal; Konerko was free agent.
- Traded for Javier Vazquez, adding approx. $19M over two seasons.
- Signed AJ Pierzynski to 3Y/$15M deal, avoiding final two arbitration years.
- Signed Joe Crede to 1Y/$2.675M deal, avoiding arbitration.
- Traded for and signed Alex Cintron to $1.6M deal, avoiding arbitration.
Meanwhile, the Phillies patched up 11 arbitration cases and signed free agents amounting to approximately $10M in 2009. The White Sox had some internal moves to make, but they mainly figured to improve the team, it was better to look outside and make deals.
The Phillies were in a position unlike any team in the past. With the influx of arbitration cases at hand, the Phils had a seemingly impossible goal: Lock each case down. Somehow, they did it. Somehow, Ruben Amaro Jr. and Co. were able to satisfy their young stars, keep the window for contention open exactly three years and work the payroll to allow for flexible spending in 2010 and beyond. Those 2005 White Sox, meanwhile, went too deep on Konerko, took on a Thome contract that spread over a long period and took most of their arbitration cases into and through free agency. The Phillies? They merely handed out raises for good work.
The White Sox contended in 2006, winning 90 games, but finished in third place in the AL Central. 2007 was not kind to the Sox, as injuries (and the length of some of those contracts) started to eat at the franchise. Luckily enough, the farm system kicked in and a few good deals for cheap talent made the Sox contenders again in 2008. But their window is almost closed. This writer can't see the Sox taking the Central in 2009.
The Phillies will contend until 2012. And it's very possible they'll contend beyond 2012. They've left room for signing the foundation players into their twilight years, while leaving plenty of space for the farm system talent to take over. For now, however, the Phillies are solidly an elite-market team. No longer can we cite the Yankees and Red Sox without mentioning the Phillies. No longer can we complain about being "small." No. The Phillies are at the top shelf of baseball, now, and are surely acting like they belong.

I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical when Pat Gillick left the Phillies organization, I felt that he was probably taking our chances for a repeat with him. However, I've been unilaterally impressed with what Ruben Amaro Jr has been able to accomplish in his brief tenure as GM. He managed to keep almost the entire 2008 WFCs together, and now this team should be primed to compete for a title for at least the next three years, and– can't believe as a pessimistic Philly fan I'm saying this–I think they'll win at least one more World Series in that time frame. If I were the MLB I'd be terrified of 2011 when half this team will be competing for a new contract. Even if the Phillies don't manage to bring another championship to the city, you certainly can't call out the management for not trying their best.
Bring on the Yankees! The Phillies should only get better over the next four years. Carasco & Drabek should sigficantly inprove the pitching. Brown or Taylor should push for playing time in the Outfield and Marson/Donald will inprove trhe infield.
This should allow for some serious consideration of youth to move into the lineup…Donald, Marson, Carrasco, Happ etc…we have a luxury to bring these guys inot to play
from MLBTraderumors.com concerning Pat Burrell and his contract:
Scott Boras says Pat Burrell "took a bad deal" when he signed for two years and $16MM on January 5th. Boras says Burrell's contract froze the market for corner outfielders. He's blaming Pat for Manny still being available
I've been saying that were the new Yankees of the national leauge for the past 2 years now. I might go as far as saying the new Yankees of baseball, but to be honest….There will never be another team in sports history who has accomplished as much as the Yankees have done. The truth is…we feared everyone for the past 2 seasons. Now teams have even more of a reason to be scared of our offense…Were coming off a world series championship, PLUS they have to face the same group of guys for the next 3 years! Not to mention we have the best (in my oppinion) bullpen in baseball. We're the truth!
Hey Tim …Great posts today.Cant decide which to respond to.
My hats off to Ruben. What a great job this off season. We stayed away from Lowe. Thank G-D. Moyer is just as good. He might get beat up here and there but he also throws those gems. Plus he is a great teacher for our young guys. Burrell I miss but it was time for him to go. I watched Ibanez and he can hit. Keeping the core, Utley, Howard, Rollins, Werth, Victorinio, Hammels. Thats the core that will lead us. Great job Phillies and I cant wait til April. Another fun season to be a Phillies fan…
Phils are doing what most teams are supposed to do….Reward their home grown talent for their efforts and winning ethics.This is what made the 1996-2000 Yankees sucessful.
Let's just hope they don't do what the Yankees did and just try to buy championships by trading away our entire minor league system. They've always been good about keeping their talent pool in tact for the players they covet. I just don't want to see the Phils having to buy players because we can't build anymore.
ruby jr. – more like gillick jr…
i was happy even before rynho got his deal, this is just gravy now…
i credit wade for his scouting dept. to get this ball rolling, gillick came in and just solidified everything. now ruby jr has locked it all in for the next 3 years.
my elation levels have not at all subsided since the big win. in fact, i think they've risen!
greaty moves ruby jr, great moves.
I agree with this. Theyve committed to having a payroll well over 100M for at least three years now. Theyve positioned themselves for an extended run at the top. They definitely are among the elite franchises in the game today. However, if they are to take on the persona of one of the other big box teams, Id recommend the Red Sox mode. Yes they spend a lot, but most of that is on their own players. They kept their best prospects and signed them to contract extensions (Youkilis, Pedroia, etc) which is what the Phillies have done now. This allows for an extended run with your core group with minimal replacement over that window. I never thought theyd sign all their arb cases, especially Howard, but seeing what theyve done now theyre setup for an extended run.
These are certainly very special days in Philadelphia baseball. This team has the potential to be remembered as the greatest group in Philadelphia sports history. Cubs, Mets, bring em all on. I cannot wait until April!
And maybe this time Ryan Howard will spend extra time focused and improving his agility and defense and watching film of his plate discipline to improve in those areas as opposed to being distracted by arbitration. We all know when hes on hes the best, but hes been plagued by huge dry spells during the season (making his numbers last year amazing because he was horrible for weeks at a time). so if he cam come out of the gates blazing theyre in for a huge year.
Don't forget, that's a little bloated with the $8.5M due to Eaton in '09.
In all seriousness… be prepared for a SECRET TRADE with Ryan Howard soon… sometime within the next 2.5 seasons.. boom. see ya pal.
It is so funny how ever since 2004, the Phillies have just went soaring past the Eagles as far as being the first class sports franchise in town. The birds have now been exposed as a fraud and the Phillies have shot straight to the top.
Phillies are without a doubt the hottest ticket in town… and Flyers have their faithful, but they are starting to get on the gossip page too… So far this season, Richards and Carter crashed a Temple Frat party.. Lupul was on VH1 getting on some lady on celebrity-rehab or something, and Upshall is dating some chick that the NBA.TV just hired as a host..
Between the World Series, and then that actual entertainment from the Flyers players who are about our ages 25ish…
Who needs that Eagles drama..
Didn't take long for Geoff to take a shot at Howard now did it?
You guys are going to be a serious club no doubt. Hats off to you…
{Am I alone in thinking Howard was a steal?)
I hope all teams can stay healthy this year, and that my Mets grow some balls and man-up to the task ahead!
The phillies are building and keeping the pieces intact to keep the winning going for at least 5 years. With more young talent comming along they will do what the Yankees should have done in keep there young players insted of fighting the national debt in payroll. I think the Phillies are the class of the National leauge and I think they can win a few more championchips in this run. We have to also give the credit to Pat Gillick who has taught Ruby pretty well. The only bad deal is Ibanez but he is in my opionion a stop gap for Brown.
The Phillies should be able to contend through the 2011 season, and maybe further is their farm system continues to rebound. As for the White Sox they have a good shot to win the AL Central because it is so weak. I don't see the Royals, Tigers, or Indians winning the division in 09 so that leaves the White Sox and Twins to battle it out like they did last season. Even if you think the Twins win win the AL Central, the White Sox certainly have a shot. It's not like they are the Nationals or the Pirates or something.
Ive been waiting for this my whole life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After signing Howard, the Phils have definitely taken another step into the stratosphere of baseball. The Yankees get all the press, but for all the wrong reasons. First, we are nothing like the Yankees, not sure why that guy said that Second, we are a very likeable team, a team that should be the face of MLB for the next year at least. I do sense that the national media doesn't like them and is ready to annoint the Rays or keep the Sawx in the limelight but let's face it, our Phils are a great group of guys who love playing together, KNOW how to win mentally and are fun.
The turning point for this group happened in 2007, when the team actually helped cover Coors Field with the Rockies ground crew when the Rox retreated back into the clubhouse.
Face it- we are America's baseball team!
Matt,first off it was ME who compared this group of players……..but to a point.Yankees kept the bulk of their home grown winning and respectable talent like Jeter,Pettitte,Posada,Mo Rivera,and Bernie Williams that helped them win from 96 to Y2K.,Phils are doing the same with Hamels,Rhyno,Rollins et al.THAT was what I meant.From 2001 and after with Giambi,Mussina and A-R*d I do not use them with the others formentioned and I can never refer to them as "true Yankees".Four more days til Spring….screw the calendar and groundhog (not litterally). LETS GO METS!
What I love about what has happened with this team is that they seemed to find the balance that the Sox found a few years ago and that the Yankees refused to notice. The Sox won buy adding a few key pieces here or there, mostly pitching, to a team that consisted of mostly home grown talent. The Yankees…they won all their rings when their home grown talent reached the majors. When they started buying players what happened? A whole lot of nothing but high payrolls and disappointing seasons. Now we come to the Phillies…highest payroll in history, biggest spenders of the off season in terms of pay roll increase as compared to last year…and their big free agent splash? Raul Ibanez? That is in no way meant as a slight, but rather to illustrate my point. It was Jayson Stark who pointed out the obvious and Tim echoed it here on this site…the Phillies sure up their core, their home grown guys for a few more years and then plugged some holes. And now what do we have? Back to back division titles…World Series title, and 3 more years with all of our stars. For the first time in probably my lifetime(25 years old) I can go into the Phillies season without a negative thing to say about the team or the organization. We wanted them to win and they did. We wanted them to spend, and they did, and they kept OUR team, OUR guys, minus Burrell, around for a few more years. Sure I am a little concerned about Utley being back for opening day but if he isn't so be it. I am sure whatever he does will be in the best interest of the club and no matter what he will produce. This is our team and this is our time. To that I say Cheers to the Phils.
This A-Rod stuff is great. Everyone is all acting like it was some great secret. This guy was the most obvious roid monster of them all. He looks like a genetically engineered pod person. Id be surprised if he didnt start using heavily in high school and just ramped it up over the course of his career. Ridiculous. A-Fraud….
Meanwhile the Phillies are going to hit Spring Training with NO distractions this time for the first time in a long time. They are going to be focused and reayd to come out firing. Getting boosts from the returns of Feliz and Utley will help too. The bad blood and the name calling has been avoided this year (one way or the other, thats what needed to be avoided and they accomplished that) and they can roll into camp smoothly and focus on baseball.
"He looks like a genetically engineered pod person." hahah, great stuff.
A roid monster? when he came in the league at 18 he was 190, and how hes 215? He looks the same now as he did when he started with the rangers
here is a good breakdown of what we can expect from our payroll from 2009-2012

Register Today For Free Webinar: Identity Analytics ROI
By nwooler on Jun 10, 2010
Is your Identity Compliance project a GIANT Headache? If so, then we have the little blue pill for your compliance headache. The reason why many organizations experience pain in the compliance programs they run is because of the lack of automated tools, impact to productivity and lack of ongoing actionable information. I have seen this first hand. Organizations usually rely upon project managers and excel spreadsheets collect information from business units and project teams. This then leads to massive efforts to fill in information and send them back to the central team for documentation and reporting to the auditors. Ultimately, this information is old before it is collated into the binders and the report is issued. However, the real result is usually a GIANT HEADACHE for everyone involved.
As Identity theft outpaces any other theft and security challenges for organizations, the problem needs a more efficient solution with better processes and better tools. Business leaders will believe in investment when they can see better utilization of key resources, better on-going information, proven segregation of duties, and ultimately better security.
Niel Gandhi, has the "Advil" for your compliance headache with Oracle Identity Analytics. Register here for the FREE webinar on the ROI of using Identity Analytics. He is has years of experience solving these problems for organizations around the world. Additionally, he has extensive experience as Principal Product Manager, Identity Analytics. Here are a couple of the topics that he will cover in the event:
- Automate critical identity-based controls such as attestation and segregation of duties
- Analyze, mine, and correlate user roles for compliant and efficient user access

Hi - brand new to the boards but familiar with LLL and I have a question for experienced BF mommies -
My baby is 2 weeks old today- she was 35 weeks gestation and did great right from birth with breathing, etc. and didn't have to go to NICU. We brought her home with us after my 3 day stay from the c-section. She weighed 4 lbs. 6 oz. at birth and dropped to about 4 lbs. 2 oz. and stayed right there and started climbing after that. As of this past Thursday, she was 4 lbs. 13 oz.
The lactation consultant at the hospital said she was too little to be able to pull milk from me so we were attempting the breast, then daddy was supplementing originally from formula (it really upset her tummy) but then from colostrum/breast milk that I was pumping while daddy was feeding. When daddy wasn't there, I was having the nurses give the bottle because I didn't want her associating me with the bottle.
So, I'm pumping at home, my milk is fully in and I pump about every 3 hours but necessity (Daddy went back to work) has dictated that I also give her the bottle. We're using the Playtex natural latch. She usually gets a good latch on me (after much practice at the hospital) but will only go for about 2 to 3 minutes out of 5 to 7 with good sucking. I will even "prime the pump" and try to bring some milk forward for her by hand before we attempt. She eats every 2 to 3 hours but my concern is that since a bottle is much easier, she'll not take to feeding from me when she is big enough (which I'm hoping is this coming week since she's almost 5 pounds).
Does anyone have experience with this? One of the nurse practitioners at my peds office is also a lactation consultant. I haven't met her yet but our Monday physical is with her and I'm hoping for some medical guidance but would also like some practical mommy guidance if someone has been there, done that.
I'm very concerned - I don't want to have to give her formula but I also have to start school (teacher) at the end of August and logistically can't pump every three hours during the day for 20 to 30 minutes. I believe in breast feeding and want to do what's best for my baby.
Thanks in advance for reading this super long post and for any guidance and support.
