Break the impasseNovember 18,2012The farm bill still appears to have a shot for this year assuming the House does its duty.
House members have received some assurances last week that the bill, which was stalled prior to the election, remains in play perhaps even as part of the discussions over sequestration and taxes.
Democrats are calling for a five-year farm bill to help generate stability for certain sectors of the agriculture industry including dairy. Certain Republicans in the House have told members of the Agriculture Committee, however, that a one-year stopgap may be all that can be hammered out in this lame duck Congress.
That is not good enough.
On the Senate floor last week, Sen. Patrick Leahy, the senior senator from Vermont and a Middlesex resident, called for an end to the impasse and urged House members to pass the farm bill for the sake of Vermont and the nation. The Senate passed the bill 64-35.
During this past recess, I was in just about every part of Vermont. I was stopped time and time again by Vermont farmers who asked me why Congress left town without passing a farm bill. They knew we had passed it in the Senate, but why hadnt we finished? Leahy said last week.
The senator said he has been frustrated by the refusal of the leadership of the House of Representatives to consider the legislation sent to them by the Senate to extend the farm bill. House lawmakers blocked consideration of the bipartisan farm bill one that mirrors the legislation passed in their own body by the House Agriculture Committee.
The stalling tactic is putting many good Vermonters at risk. This is dangerous for dairy farmers in Vermont and for farmers across the country, Leahy said.
He is correct. The delay threatens rural communities. Farmers deserve the certainty that a five-year farm bill provides. The industry cannot stop to wait for politicians to quit playing games and get serious about the decisions that need to be made to maintain our fragile economy.
Farming is already uncertain enough in the face of a challenging economy and coupled with the drastic effects of global climate change. By not enacting the farm bill, lawmakers are only exacerbating farmers stress. These hard-working families across Vermont (and the nation) deserve better treatment from politicians.
But the threat is even broader than just affecting farms; it has the potential to affect many more people in need. As Leahy pointed out to his fellow lawmakers, the essential nutrition programs in the farm bill provide healthy food for vulnerable populations, such as children and pregnant and nursing women. Vermonters, like tens of millions of people across the country, depend upon these programs where they are struggling to put enough food on their table during these very tough economic times.
The Senate farm bill was a solid, bipartisan bill. It also served as a deficit reduction bill. It has $23 billion in cost savings, as well as crucial policy reforms for dairy farmers facing the challenges of the 21st century. It maintains a safety net for millions of hungry Americans.
Now the House must act on the same points and not impose a stopgap for a year. The election was a mandate: Set posturing and politics aside and work out your differences. Start making decisions that Americans can see and appreciate.
The Senate is pointing the finger at the House now, putting lawmakers on notice that they should not toy with the lives of so many struggling Americans. Recounting the process, Leahy said, the feeling was,We can play games, we can talk, we can posture, we can sloganeer or we can sit down like grown-ups and put together a real farm bill. ... It took a nanosecond to decide we can be grown-ups and put together a real farm bill. Republicans and Democrats sat down. We wrote a deficit-reducing, meaningful farm bill, and it passed in a Senate which is often deadlocked.
Rep. Peter Welch, who sits on the Agriculture Committee, has been urging both Republicans and Democrats to pass the bill. Vermonters are depending on Welch and his colleagues to offer the same support the Senate gave earlier this year.
Lets set the political gamesmanship aside, help Americas farmers, families, and rural communities that all rely on the farm bill. The people in these communities, the farmers in these communities, do not care whether there is a Democrat or Republicans name on the bill. All they know is they want a good farm bill that allows them to stay in farming. Farming is hard enough as it is. None of us has to do the farming. We ought to stand up and help, Leahy said.
Do the right thing.MORE IN PerspectiveVermonters have waited patiently for almost nine months now an exceedingly long period of time,... Full StoryEducation was in the shadows during the presidential election. Full StoryBricks. The wall was full of bricks. Full Story

This No. 27 Chevrolet SS was raced previously this season at Indianapolis Motor Speedway where Menard drove it to a 12th-place finish and Michigan International Speedway where he finished fourth.
Chicagoland Stats ... Menard has six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Chicagoland Speedway. His best start of second came in 2011 and best finish of 10th came in 2010. The Wisconsin native has completed 1,426 of 1,602 laps attempted (89 percent) at the 1.5-mile oval.

Menard's Thoughts on Racing at Chicagoland Speedway:
"Chicagoland Speedway is one of the newest facilities on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule. Over the past couple of years the racing groove has widened, which allows for more passing opportunities. The backstretch there is slightly curved, but it doesn't affect the car too much. Because of the curve, you've got to slightly turn the car left going down the straightaway. It's a fun track and a fast track. We've had some good runs the past couple of weeks and hopefully that continues this weekend in Chicago."
Kevin Harvick
No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet

What are your thoughts coming back to Chicagoland Speedway and kicking off the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup?
"I really like tracks like Chicagoland (Speedway) where the surface is a little bit worn out, because it makes for better racing. We were fortunate to win the first couple of races here, so Chicagoland has always been a really good race track for us as far as fans and following, too. DeLana (Harvick, wife) and I always enjoy coming in early for the Chase kick off, going into the city and having a couple of low key days before the weekend gets started."
Talk about the Goodyear tire test you participated in at Chicagoland Speedway in May. Did the team learn anything they can use for the race this weekend?
"We had a really good test. Obviously a lot has changed since then from a setup standpoint because we've been trying out some different things recently, but I think we're a little bit ahead of the curve going into this weekend. I feel pretty good about it. I think it'll be a good weekend."

Do you like racing at Chicagoland Speedway?
"Chicagoland Speedway is one of the newest facilities we race on. It has really come into its own recently. Chicagoland is a fun and challenging race track. While it might look like a normal 1.5-mile layout, it is different in many ways. Both ends of the track are complete opposite as far as handling goes. Chicagoland also requires really good grip and there are some bumps that you have to factor in with the setup."

They say inspiration comes in all forms, and apparently nowhere is that more true than in Hollywood.
After all, when you run out of books, TV shows, cartoons, video games, amusement park rides and toys to turn into movies, where are you going to turn? An original idea? Perish the thought.
So, as you head out to the theaters this weekend, join us for a look at five of the oddest source materials ever tapped for a movie.
No. 5: "Clue"
OK, so "Battleship" isn't exactly the first movie to spring from a board game.
But at least 1985's "Clue," based off the popular Parker Brothers murder mystery board game, had some sort of back story.
The movie found the six characters well known to anybody who's played the game -- Mrs. Peacock, Miss Scarlet, Mr. Green, Professor Plum, Mrs. White and Colonel Mustard -- invited to a strange house where they must cooperate with the staff to solve a murder mystery.
The cast for this comedic take on the board game included Tim Curry, Martin Mull, Michael McKean, Christopher Lloyd and Madeline Kahn, and, in keeping with the game, had three possible endings, with different theaters receiving each ending.
While the film has found a cult following today, its gimmicky endings couldn't save it in 1985 and it languished at the box office, failing to earn back its $15 million price tag.
No. 4: "Super Mario Bros."
With movies like "Tomb Raider" and the "Resident Evil" franchise having shown life at the box office, movies based on video games may not seem as strange as they once were.
But the very first movie based on a video game, 1993's "Super Mario Bros." is a head-scratcher. Sure, Mario and his brother Luigi were the biggest names in video games, but who thought two plumbers collecting coins while battling turtles and mushroom monsters was ripe for a live-action movie adaptation?
That didn't stop stars like Bob Hoskins, Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo from joining the production, which saw Mario and Luigi discover a portal to a parallel universe under the streets of Brooklyn, New York.
The movie was rightfully trashed by critics (and Hoskins, who called it "the worst thing I ever did") and proved to be a box office bomb, recouping only $21 million of its $48 million budget.
No. 3: "Transformers"
Some may argue that since Transformers first became a cartoon and a comic book, Michael Bay's 2007 movie adaptation actually sprung from those sources, but we know better.
Whatever the media, the message of Transformers has always been about one thing: selling toys.
And what toys they are. Anybody who grew up in the 1980s likely has fond memories of acting out battles between the Decepticons and Autobots (unless you had well-meaning-but-still-sadly-mistaken parents who instead bought you Gobots).
But is that a good enough reason to invest $150 million in a movie blockbuster?
No. 2: "Pirates of the Caribbean"
Back in 2003, Disney was the source of much ridicule for attempting to turn one of its most popular amusement park rides into a blockbuster movie.

Maintaining Your Rain Garden
How wet your rain garden should be depends on the plants you put in. Cardinal flowers and Joe Pye Weed can
handle dry conditions, while marsh marigolds like things constantly damp. Just add water
according to your plants' needs. You can add more compost once in a while, which will feed your
plants. If you have created a bog garden that frequently has standing water, you can add a product, such as the Mosquito Dunk, that
controls mosquito larvae. Other than that, just sit back and enjoy the butterflies and
hummingbirds that will visit.

For infants under 12 months of age, follow these practices to reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and prevent suffocation:
Place baby on his/her back in a crib with a firm, tight-fitting mattress. Do not put pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, pillow-like bumper pads or pillow-like stuffed toys in the crib.Consider using a sleeper instead of a blanket.If you do use a blanket, place baby with feet to foot of the crib. Tuck a thin blanket around the crib mattress, covering baby only as high as his/her chest. Use only a fitted bottom sheet specifically made for crib use.
There should be:A firm, tight-fitting mattress so a baby cannot get trapped between the mattress and the crib.No missing, loose, broken or improperly installed screws, brackets or other hardware on the crib or mattress support.No more than 2 3/8 inches (about the width of a soda can) between crib slats so a baby's body cannot fit through the slats; no missing or cracked slats.No corner posts over 1/16th inch high so a baby's clothing cannot catch.No cutouts in the headboard or foot board so a baby's head cannot get trapped.Cribs that are incorrectly assembled, have missing, loose or broken hardware or broken slats can result in entrapment or suffocation deaths. Infants can become stranguled when their head and neck become entrapped in gaps created by missing, loose or broken hardware or broken slats.For mesh-sided cribs or playpens, look for:Mesh less than 1/4 inch in size, smaller than the tiny buttons on a baby's clothing.Mesh with no tears, holes or loose threads that could entangle a baby.Mesh securely attached to top rail and floor plate.Top rail cover with no tears or holes.If staples are used, they are not missing, loose or exposed.

Well, to start with, getting six pack abs is a by-product of living a lifestyle which makes burning fat and building lean muscle automatic and natural.
What do I mean by this?
I mean that by focusing on just the "abs" part of the equation you will almost certainly fail. Counter-intuitively you should actually focus on making lifestyle changes (one change at a time) which before long result in your living a life where your nice rock hard six pack abs have emerged all by themselves.
For example, your first change may be using what is known as an "Inversion Mental Model" which basically means looking at your life and instead of thinking in the normal intuitive way, i.e: what do I need to add to my life to get a six pack?
Instead, think: what am I doing right now that if I simply didn't do would make getting a six pack almost automatic.
One thing that comes to mind, is taking a food journal each day and then at the end of week one looking back and eliminating certain foods from your diet.
You may start with taking out things like chocolate bars, potato chips and similar. This may seem small, yet if you continue to subtract these types of foods from your diet each and every week, you will begin to see the difference in the bathroom mirror very quickly.
After you have taken out all the things in your life which are suffocating your efforts of looking lean, mean with carved abs… It's time to add some stuff!
First, when thinking about getting a six pack most guys immediately think they should be doing all kinds of ab exercises specifically for the abdominal muscles.
While this appears logical on the surface, let me save you A TON of time and energy by saying right off the bat you should not be doing these types of exercises at all!
Instead you should focus on full body workouts which burn fat.
Because even if you do all the ab exercises in the world, if you are carrying a bunch of belly fat — no one will ever be able to see your hard toil.
Instead, start with big compound movements like bench press, squats and deadlifts and only after you have burned your fat down to the point that you are beginning to see ab muscle, should you start doing your crunches, twists and just about any other ab exercise you can find.

text: My DD (28 months) is getting very possessive of my breasts recently. She has begun to call them her babies, and if I have my arms in front of my chest in any way that she perceives as possibly blocking her access (even when not nursing), she tells me "No! Don't touch them! Don't hurt my babies!" I have no idea where she came up with this, 2 year olds come up with weird new things every day it seems like, but I always respond by telling her it is my body, they are my arms and I can have them where I want on my body, just like she has a body and arms too, and I remind her that she can have mommy milk at naptime/bedtime. It doesn't seem to be working well though, any other ideas?

I was also thinking PMK. Although she is a despicable character, she is not physically repulsive. I am sure boytoy is ok with "paying up".ReplyCancel

As long as she just shuts the fuck up I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing PMK.

GSA North-Central Section
48th Annual Meeting
2425 April 2014
Technical Program Schedule
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UN-L) Conservation and Survey Division, School of Natural Resources, Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and the University of Nebraska State Museum are hosting the 2014 North-Central Section Meeting at the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.
Lincoln is located near the boundary between the Great Plains and glaciated Central Lowlands. The Nebraska Sand Hills—the largest dunefield in the Western Hemisphere—as well as the thickest loess sequence in North America are within a half-day's drive. The Missouri River, which drains a significant portion of the North American continent, and the Platte River, which is a classic braided stream, lie within 60 km. Rock strata from Upper Pennsylvanian to Upper Neogene in age are exposed in the eastern half of Nebraska, including the type sections of the Cretaceous Niobrara and the Dakota Formations. Limestone, clay, and sand and gravel are produced in the vicinity, and interest in the development of the nearby Elk Creek carbonatite is escalating. Nebraska is one of the most important regions in the world for the collection and study of Cenozoic mammals, and the University of Nebraska State Museum is one of the premier repositories for such fossils. The eastern edge of the High Plains Aquifer lies just north of Lincoln.

- Title
- Development of a light-emitting diode tachistoscope
- Author(s)
- Thurgood, Clementine; Patterson, John; Simpson, D.; Whitfield, T. W. Allan
- Abstract
- This paper describes a new method for rapid visual stimulus delivery, the light-emitting diode (LED) tachistoscope. An array of white LEDs provided a luminous intensity greater than 1 000 000 mcd. This array was placed behind a liquid crystal display (LCD) to function as a backlight; switching it on and off determined the visibility of the display. Commands to illuminate for periods from 1 ms to continuously on were relayed from a computer to the LED array. Changes in luminous intensity at the surface of a LED and the LCD were recorded via oscilloscope. The required duration of light pulses consistently matched the durations displayed, with only microsecond discrepancies due to turn-on and turn-off delays. Images were illuminated on the LCD screen for as little as 1 ms, with the amplitude of the luminance consistent across trials. The LED tachistoscope can be used with any computer to display images extremely briefly, potentially at the submillisecond level, providing superior performance to traditional and computer monitor tachistoscopes.

Bee County Grand Jury members indicted Noah Paul Meza, 30, and Isidro Castillo, 44, with the same offense, possession of a controlled substance, between four and 200 grams of cocaine, with intent to deliver, when they met earlier this month.
The offense is a first degree felony. A conviction on the charge could result in a 99-year to life prison sentence and a $10,000 fine.
According to Deputy Rick Villarreal of the Bee County Sheriff's Office, the two men had the drug in their possession on June 7, 2012.
Bond for each defendant was set at $20,000 by District Judge Joel Johnson.
David Lucio Jr., also known as Richard Lucio Jr., also was indicted on a first degree felony as a result of alleged drug possession.
Beeville Police Department Detective Matthew Miller alleged that Lucio had more than one gram but less than four grams of cocaine on May 16, 2012.
The charge normally is a second degree felony, but the punishment range was enhanced because Lucio had a previous felony conviction on a charge of failure to register as a sex offender. That conviction also was enhanced because of a previous felony conviction.
The conviction came on Aug. 14, 2007.
Lucio's bond also was $20,000.
Others named in indictments returned this month were:
•Jesse De Los Santos in a two-count indictment on charges of aggravated assault, threat with a deadly weapon and evading arrest or detention with a vehicle.
The first count is a second degree felony. If convicted, De Los Santos could be sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $10,000.
The second count is a third degree felony. A conviction on that charge could result in a 10-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine.
Detective Miller alleged that the 19-year-old suspect pointed a BB gun at a woman during an incident on July 31, 2012, during the commission of an assault and that he then fled from Miller as he was trying to detain him.
Bond was $7,500.
•Cole Lawrence Peters was named in one two-count indictment and two one-count indictments stemming from incidents investigated by at least two different law enforcement agencies.
The two-count indictment included charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Being a felon in possession of a firearm was a third degree felony and the aggravated assault charge was a second degree felony.
The 31-year-old suspect was accused of possessing a firearm in a place other than his residence after the fifth anniversary of his release from confinement for a previous felony conviction. That conviction was on a charge of aggravated assault, bodily injury with a deadly weapon on July 14, 2004.
Peters allegedly committed the second degree felony during an incident on April 9, 2012.
The other two indictments returned against Peters were on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
According to the indictments, Peters operated motor vehicles owned by others, without their permission, on Sept. 3 and Nov. 19, 2012.
The vehicle theft charges were state jail felonies. If convicted of either of those charges, Peters could be sentenced to spend up to two years in a state jail facility and be fined $10,000.
Bonds on those indictments totaled $14,000.
•Jose Luis Garcia on a charge of aggravated assault, threat with a deadly weapon, a second degree felony.
BPD officers alleged that Garcia swung a knife at a man during an incident on Aug. 2, 2012.
Bond was $5,000.
•Alvin Amador on a charge of evading arrest in a motor vehicle, a second degree felony.
Although the charge normally is a third degree felony, it was enhanced in Amador's case because he had a previous conviction on a charge of felony driving while intoxicated on Aug. 25, 1998, in Karnes County.
The 50-year-old suspect was accused of using a vehicle to flee from a BPD officer on July 11, 2012.
Bond was $2,500.

Good Old-Fashioned Baseball Tickets
My wife and I love getting mail. I'm not sure why. We hardly ever get anything but junk mail. But we always hold out hope that something wonderful will be waiting for us each aftenoon in our trusty mail box.
Well, the past couple weeks, something wondeful, indeed, has started arriving…in twos, and threes and fours. Baseball tickets. Tickets to Citizens Bank Park and to Petco Park and to Dodger Stadium and to Angel Stadium and to Citi Field and to Nationals Park, too.
I love good old-fashioned baseball tickets. Printed from a ticket machine with perferated edges where your tickets used to be connect so someone else's tickets. You can't beat it.
Personally, I am not a fan of print-at-home e-tickets. A ticket is a souvenir. Growing up (and really until Tim's birth), I always kept my tickets in the inside band of my baseball caps. At any given time (and for years at a time), I walked around with 30 baseball tickets in my cap. They became wrinkled and faded and stained from sweat as I wore those tickets through softball games, and Mariners games, and high school, and college and life.
When Tim was born and soon started going to game with me, I stopped putting my tickets in my cap because I wanted to keep them clean for him.
Does anyone save print-at-home e-tickets? I doubt it. They're not very memorable. Certainly, they don't seem like an artifact of the game worthy of preserving, etc., etc., etc., like a real old-fashioned baseball ticket. And when tickets become unimportant (merely a key to the gate) and we stop saving them, we lose one of the easiest and best ways to track the games, players and history we have seen.
So, when given the options at the end of the online ordering process, don't count on me selecting "print at home" any time soon (or, if not forced to (i.e., stubhub), ever).
So as Tim and I gear up for another fun filled campaign and our 2010 tickets continue to bring joy to the afternoon trip to the mailbox, I figured it would be fitting to reflect on our past with a look at some of our tickets. Let's start with the most important and memorable tickets.
My Top 10 (or so) Tickets
No. 1 – September 12, 2006, Blue Jays vs. Maniners at Safeco Field – Tim's first game. A truly great day. I made this wooden home plate frame and this ticket hangs on Tim's bedroom wall:
No. 2 – October 10, 1995, Indians vs. Mariners at the Kingdom: Game 1 of the 1995 ACLS in case you didn't know. A great game:
No. 3 – August 23, 2009, Mariners vs. Indians at Progressive Field – Tim and I witness Ken Griffey, Jr. hit his 624th career home run – our first Ken Griffey, Jr. home run together (and Tim's first period):
No. 4 – Various dates and teams at the Kingdome – my only remaining Kingdome tickets (except for No. 1 above). The Kingdome is the most important baseball venue of my life and a place I will always remember fondly.
No. 5 – August 15, 2008, Cardinals vs. Reds at Great American Ball Park – the first game of the first year of the now annual "Great Cook Grandfather-Father-Son Baseball Roadtrip." The start of a grand tradition.
No. 6 – July 5, 2009, Mariners vs. Red Sox at Fenway Park – one of the (personally) most memorable baseball moments of my life. Pinch-hitting for Mike Sweeney in the top of the 4th inning, Ken Griffey, Jr. lined a single off of the Green Monster. Tim was sitting on my shoulders as we watched the beautiful flight of the ball. It was the first time Tim ever saw Griffey get a hit in person.
No. 7 – September 3, 2007, Mariners vs. Yankees at Yankee Stadium (1923). Tim's only game ever at the old Yankee Stadium. A truly great game. Felix Hernandez gets the win. Ichiro hits a home run off of Roger Clemens for his 200th hit of the season for his seventh consecutive season. Clemens notches the final loss of his soon-to-be-taint but still-probably-hall-of-fame career. Mike Mussina pitches in relief after Clemens gets hurt. It is the only relief appearance of Mussina's career. Between Clemens, Mussina and Kyle Farnsworth, the Yankees send over 600 career wins to the mound and end the day with the same number of career wins as when the day started:
* – FYI, a guy who left early and spotted me walking around with Tim on my shoulders gave us his ticket (on the right above) so we could sit almost directly behind home plate (in the equivalent of what is now the Legends Suite tickets at the new Yankee Stadium).
No. 8 – June 8, 2003, Mariners vs. Mets at Shea Stadium. The only double-header I have ever attended and the most wins (2) that I have ever seen the Mariners collect in one day. Excellent performances by both Jamie Moyer and Freddy Garcia.
No. 9 – Weekend In New York — June 22, 2008, Reds vs. Yankees at Yankee Stadium (1923) and June 23, 2008, Mariners vs. Mets at Shea Stadium. My high school buddy, Jason, visited from Seattle to see Yankee Stadium before it closed down. We realized the Mariners were at Shea the next day. On Sunday, we saw Ken Griffey, Jr. hit home run No. 601 of his career (the first and only home run I have seen him hit in a non-Mariners uniform. The next day, we saw Felix Hernandez hit a GRAND SLAM off of Johan Santana. An unforgettable weekend of baseball.
No. 10 – September 12, 2007, Rockies vs. Phillies at Citizens Bank Park – an acquaintance who works for the Phillies "comp'd" us four excellent tickets (8 rows behind the 3B dugout) for a mid-week Phillies game against the Rockies. Tim and I invited some friends and had a blast. While at the game, I realized for the first time that it was the 1-year anniverary of Tim's first Mariners/MLB game. Instantly, a new tradition (and one of my favorite holidays) was born: Tim's MLB Anniversary Game. I plan to take Tim to a game on September 12 every year, forever.
– June 3, 2003, Mariners vs. Phillies at Veterans Stadium – Jamie Moyer collects a hit and adds to his Mariners legacy by beating his future team (and what a beautiful ticket – it even has the word "TICKET" embossed across the second panel from the right):
– August 15, 2009, Indians vs. Twins at H.H.H. Metrodome – Tim's first game in a traditional domed stadium. My first real dome since the Kingdome. It really brought back the Kingdome feel for me and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
– Various Veterans Stadium tickets – I like defunct stadiums and odd tickets. These next five are my only other remaining Veterans Stadium tickets and they include (i) my three smallest tickets, (ii) my first game seeing Griffey play for the Reds, and (iii) my only game ever seeing the Expos:
And now, a whole bunch more (without descriptions) in chronological order…
* – FYI, Barry Bonds hit his 689th home run at that last game.
* – Pedro Martinez pitched this game for the Reading Phillies while preparing for his debut with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was on fire with the strike out pitch.

Todd- That's awesome you kept all of your tickets from way back when Kingdome days. I keep mine as I have started snagging and going to alot of games, but never used to. I actually just put up an entry about tickets on my blog yesterday. Its only about the games I'm going to now, no older tickets. But I can't wait for the season to start… THIS WEEK! im so pumped. hopefully we can see eachother at another game, hanging out with u guys at citi was awesome. Good luck. Joe
I do something similar to you. I take all the tickets from games that I went to and stick them up on a bulletin board in my bedroom. About the mail part…try through the mail autographs, its fun when you open up an envelope and you take out Hank Aaron's autograph.
Well, not "all" of my old tickets. I wish I had all of them. The other than the '95 ALCS game, my oldest is '98. I think my tickets from the late 80s and early 90s were probably discarded with the hats that I kept them in, which is a shame. That would be excellent if we meet up again at either Citi or in the Bronx. I'll let you know when we'll be up that way.
Yep, hang on to those things! Its fun to be able to use a resource like Baseball-reference.com and look back at the box score of a game you went to a decade ago. You know, I did some mail autographs back in high school. It was fun. I think the best I ever got was Roberto Alomar. I also got a unique one, Albert Belle when he still went by "Joey." Maybe Tim will give it a shot when he gets older.
Excellent entry! I haven't saved "all" of my tickets from all of the games I've attended, but I think I might have 90% of the tickets dating back to '98/'99. (1999 is the year Sarah was born, & I didn't take her to her first game unitl around '06 I think) My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I keep them. Before this blog, that's all I had from those games. I didn't even take pictures back then! Anyways, thanks for sharing your memories with all of us & here's to another season of making more!
Great entry and idea Todd. Where do you buy your tickets from?
How did we exist before digital cameras? Its terribly sad to think that I have attended far and away more games at the Kingdome than any other ballpark and I can only think of a handful of pictures that I have there. Mostly pictures from "photo day" when kids could go on the field and get picts with the players. Other than that, I can only think of one picture of me in the stands at the Kingdome, and I can't find it anywhere!
Thanks. I try to buy my tix on the home team's website. Otherwise, stubhub. Well, also at the ballpark — e.g., Baltimore (no need to buy in advance…at least for my purposes).
Great post. It has inspired me to do a similar one based on my ticket collection. I'm not a fan of printing tickets on a 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper either! My friend did it once. The paper almost blew away in the wind. Somehow it felt like I wasn't mean't to enter the stadium that way? That is awesome that you printed that ticket for your son. Even better that the game was against the Jays! He will have that forever. I wish that I had the ticket to first game I ever watched in Exhibition Stadium, or a Jays playoff game … that is a dream 16 years in waiting.
Yeah, you should do that. I'd like to see your tickets. E-tickets are an abomination. Sometimes I get forced into them because that's all that is available on stubhub. But its a major disappointment every time. Especially last season for our first and only game at Wrigley Field. I was extremely dissappointed not to get a real Wrigley ticket. I found someone else's ticket on the ground after the game, but its not the same. I didn't want someone else's Wrigley ticket, I wanted our own.
Beautiful entry! A colorful mozaic of memories. Every ticket tells its own story. To me, Sasaki (2001, Ichiro's first year with Mariners) and Jamie Moyer (2006, Kenji Johjima's first year with Mariners) were especially impressive. (I used to keep tickets and programs of concerts and (only a few) opera performances I attended in my college days)

i just returned to work, i usually do 3 12 hour night shifts (7p-7a), but i am only doing 8 hours for the first 2 weeks (11p-7a). my son is 11 weeks old and he nurses well, i am concerned about keeping up with supply for bottles while at work. i am getting between 5 - 6 oz each time i pump, but my husband says he will eat up to 8 oz when he gets up. so far i have been able to nurse him to sleep around 9:30, then i leave for work at 10 pm. he gets up around 3 and eats 8 oz, then he is up at 6, i get home at 7:30, my husband tries to have him hold off so i can nurse, but db really gets upset. he always has nursed again when i get home (and then all day). my concerns are this:
1. will i have enough pumped when i go back to 12 hour shifts? he usually nurses almost constantly during daytime (every 1-2 hours) if he is taking 8 oz at a time and he wants to eat every hour or 2, that is alot to try to pump
2 my husband tried today to let me sleep a little and give him another bottle, it was 4pm, he ate 8 oz, then was still hungry, so he woke me up, he nursed for about 30 minutes (aggresively) then fell asleep, he was up again by 5:30 starving. will i ever be able to pump enough not just for work, but so i can sleep a few hours? as of now, we co-sleep, and i just keep him in bed he can somewhat self latch, so that works well
i was never concerned about supply before because i always seem to have enough, pumping is my problem.
3 when i pump, it is about 5 -6 oz, but it comes out in about 8 minutes, then i get nothing, if i hand express, there is still milk coming out, but not from the pump. i work in a hospital, so i have access to a medela hospital grade pump (there is an employee pumping room) i have no problem with letdown ( i am usually leaking before i even start to pump) i have been pumping at least 2 times per 8 hour shift, is that enough? we haven't ran into milk supply issues yet, but what if he wakes up more at night? and i don't have enough for him to eat so i can sleep during day. any other nightshift working/pumping moms with advice?
thanks for any help, amy
