Rest in peace coach. John Wooden (October 14, 1910 – June 4, 2010
Friday night, the great coach John Wooden passed away. He was taken to the hospital Thursday night. Vin Scully paid tribute to him during the TV broadcast. We can only hear Vin on the radio during the first three innings but the tribute was played back in the Diamondvision. Vin made me cry watching this tribute. Here is the youtube:
I wish I had this blog two years ago when I went to the John Wooden Vin Scully event and I would have written about. Is time like this that I like having the blog. Here is what I said last October a day after his birthday:
Happy belated birthday to John Wooden! He turned 99 yesterday!
I have seen John Wooden at Dodger Stadium catching a game and visiting with Vin Scully.
I was also lucky that I went to see John Wooden and Vin Scully last year at the "Scully & Wooden For The Kids" event. It was an unforgetable night hearing Vin and Coach share their many stories.
Coach conversations always include inspiring poems he recites from memory. Here is one example:
"No written word nor spoken plea
Can teach our youth what they should be,
Nor all the books on all the shelves.
It's what the teachers are themselves."
I will never forget when coach Wooden recited this poem that wonderful night at the John Wooden Vin Scully event:
Once I was afraid of dying.
Terrified of ever-lying.
Petrified of leaving family, home and friends.
Thoughts of absence from my dear ones,
Drew a melancholy tear once.
And a lonely, dreadful fear of when life ends.
But those days are long behind me;
Fear of leaving does not bind me.
And departure does not host a single care.
Peace does comfort as I ponder,
A reunion in the Yonder,
With my dearest who is waiting for me there."
The poem was written by one of his former players, Swen Nater who was so moved by coach devotion to his departed wife Nellie.
Rest in peace coach. We will never forget you! Now you can be together with your beloved Nellie.

Man, great tribute by Vin Scully. John Wooden was such a great man, my favorite quote from his would have to be "failing to prepare in preparing to fail." He made everything simple, but yet he made you think.
R.I.P. John Wooden.
Does any other name come to mind when you think of winning?
Seriously, the task and the results of John Wooden are amazing on paper, but he was a guy who really did transcend the game with his wisdom nd his great attitude towards winning.
Not only did he make UCLA a dynasty, but he personally changed the landscape and scope of college basketball and made it another "must see" sporting event all across the country.
There are certain people you know some day will pass, and you are not sure how you will react.
In the past, I thought I might be a bit more shocked,in awe and not ready for the passing of a true legend like Wooden.
But somehow I got wisdom in the last year and know it was his time,he had spent 99 tremendous years, and had changed so many lives forever.
Now I just hope the team up in the clouds is ready to do wind sprints, suicide drills and ball handling skill sets…Becuase when the whistle blows tomorrow, Coach Wooden will have the clipboard and the whistle in his hand again….like it should be!

Wonderful post by you Cliff! And I could just picture coach with his clipboard and whistle in his hand again. Most important, he is with his beloved Nellie. You know for the last 25 years, since she passed away, he has written a letter to her on a monthly basis on the 21st. Now they are together again.
Wooden is way before my time, but he is obviously a wonderful person who touched many and influenced everyone he met. Just his prowess as a coach is amazing, but who he was as a person is much more incredible. As Cliff said, "Does any other name come to mind when you think of winning?"
To All of Los Angeles, May your GIANT among righteous men, rest eternally in peace and with his wife, which is always where he wanted to be. John Wooden's stature and character cast shadows upon men, even here 3000 miles away in Brooklyn. To L.A. ..my sympathies. To John Wooden…rest well.
I 'm with Mike on this one, "a GIANT among righteous men" may he rest in peace as he is reunited with the love of his eternity.
And we managed to beat them again for you Emma…

STLC, Mike and Peter, if u have a chance watch the John Wooden Vin Scully event that was taped two years ago. It will replay on Monday after the Dodger Cardinal game.
Thank you so much Mike! You are always so eloquent my friend!
Peter! Thank you! Complete game by Moyer! Wow!
Wooden was such a legend that he deserves all the tributes he's getting and more. Beautiful one by Vin, naturally. RIP indeed!
Rest in Peace, indeed, John Wooden. Heaven has gained a legend, as we here have lost one. They must have had a ball game that night for him to coach!
Listening to Wooden–from his voice tone, to his cadence, to the few words he actually said– reminded me, time and again, of my grandfather. A man whose life spoke better than words ever could.
John Wooden and Vin Scully–two legends in the same room. WOW! That would be quite an event.
Rest in Peace, and God Bless, John Wooden.
I grew up getting life lessons from my dad with great quotes…. 90% of those quotes were from John Wooden. I hope to pass on that tradition when I have kids someday. RIP.
A great coach and greater person. They're just won't be anyone else like him. No one will accomplish what he did-ever.
'Minoring In Baseball'
I did not know that coach used to call Torre. He also used to go to Angel Stadium.
Imagine that ball game Greg! All the great baseball players and coach in there watching them play! I am sure he was giving his suggestions too. You know he was offered a manager job with the Pirates a looong time ago.
Like you said Mike, noone will accomplish what he did. It is just amazing.

350,000 Respond To White House '#My2k'
With Republicans in a sour mood and in disarray following last month's elections, President Obama appears to have scored a coup in public opinion, with more than 350,000 Americans responding to his call to share stories about what an impending middle-class tax hike would mean to them. More than 100,000 shared their stories of what losing $2,000 would mean to them on whitehouse.gov, with a peak submission rate of 9,000 per hour, according to a graphic tweeted by the White House. More than 250,000 shared stories via Twitter using the #My2k hastag, with a peak rate of 18,700 tweets per hour, the graphic says. The $2,000 figure is what many Americans would lose if taxes were allowed to rise for … Continue reading

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Ban the bags. ......... Watch your language. ....... Help keep Dr Newman's clinic open!
We demand that our childcare providers are CPR certified... why don't we demand the same of ourselves! Get certified!
I lost 22 lbs in 8 months... with a bit of determination and common sense information from this book.
Sometimes it helps to get a baby back to the breast if they don't have any other sucking outlets available (pacifier or bottles). We used a small feeding cup occassionally during strikes with good success. (Might be a bit easier than bottles.) During nap time, have you tried nursing her right after she falls asleep? This helped us through. Keep at it! There's no reason to go to formula. Even if she won't nurse during the day and you have to pump, she's still getting the good stuff from you and that's huge! Hang in there! Strikes are so rough on mommas!
DS 1/2006 9 lb. 2 oz. 22 in.
DD 10/2008 8 lb, 2 oz. 20 in.
Yesterday was not a HUGE sucess but there was a tiny improvement. She took the breast on her X2, but afterwards she went back to pushing away and turning her face. I've read the article which was recommended. I tried the sippy cup but also no success. She will get very frustrated which made me more upset and helpless. I gave her yesterday x2 a 4oz bottle with nipple size 1. I know it is not recommended but I had no other choice. Am I making it worse with the bottle??? I read a comment posted in BabyCenter which a mom will give a bottle and tricked her child with the breast. That is why I gave her the bottle in hope of her story. I continued to breastfeed her while she is asleep. I just dont understand why she takes it well when she is asleep and goes crazy when she is not.
Today is another day. I will continue to pray and read all your supporting emails. Hopefully this will come to an end soon. I have been pumping which is making my nipples very sore. I have been applying lanolin on them. I dont know how much longer I can last. I return to work in 2 weeks and I think to myself "Is she getting her self ready for the transtion?" She will be getting bottles. What is the use of me trying to get her on the breast when within this two weeks I will be having the sitter come over to be introduced to her and offer her bottles. This will be making this strike worse, right?
I want to thank all of you for your support in this frustrating time of my life. With God and your support I hope I get through this.
Have you tried a small, open cup (like the kind you give kids medicine in) instead of the sippy? That's great that she took the breast a couple of times yesterday! Sometimes they come out of strikes slowly. I see you posted this in too much milk. Have you been struggling with OALD/oversupply? Is she possibly frustrated with this and that is what caused the strike? If so, that might explain her being okay with nursing while asleep. Babies who struggle with OALD often do better at night when more relaxed.
Pumping shouldn't be making you so sore. What kind of pump are you using? You might need to back off on the suction. Sometimes the flanges are the wrong size for your nipples and this can also cause pain. Since you are returning to work (and I assume will be pumping) this would be something good to get figured out.
DS 1/2006 9 lb. 2 oz. 22 in.
DD 10/2008 8 lb, 2 oz. 20 in.
today has been a disaster. She has now refused to take my breast while asleep. I feel we are going backwards. I have left messages for leaders around my area but i have yet to hear from them. today, has been emotional because i had hope since yesterday she took the breast x2 (for about 5min). i am totally frustrated . i just want to give up but i promised myself to be strong but i feel so helpless. everytime its time to offer the breast i become anxious and pray to God for a miracle and when it doesnt happen my heart sharters......sorry for such negativity but today has been a roller coaster for me. i've done all the suggestions that i've read in articles as well as stories but none seem to work (bathing together, skin to skin, sling, coaxing the breast to her and speaking to her gently,etc....) we are now in our 5th day and it is mentally exhausting. ..........
i have the medella pump.
You're doing everything that you can! If you have to pump and use a bottle then so be it- like you said you're going back to work and she will have to take bottles then anyways this is like practice for that time.
Keep offering the breast to her with a nonchalant attitude and she WILL take it again.
Mommy to

today she took the breast on her own for about 30 seconds. i believe the carrier had alot to do with it. she was in it for most of the afternoon. you know she will be there tomorrow. lol.
tonight i went to a LLL meeting which disappointmented me alot. the leader who invited me knew i was going for support and guideance which is the least i received. i felt that my issue was ignored as well as myself. I FEEL BOTH LEADER took a nonchalant kind of attitude. i left there very frustrated for wasting my time and disappointmented with the program!
in the bright side i have an appointment scheduled with a LLL lactation counsaltant which i have been speaking with since last friday. she has been a great rock of support and encouragement. hopefully her determination as well as her expertise and knowledge will finally get me off this ride. i know the key is "patience" with this situation but i guess it wont hurt to see a professional. i am desparate.
Moving this thread to Breastfeeding Your Infant for more replies.
I'm sorry you had a less-than-positive experience at the LLL meeting you attended. I hope your appointment with the LLL leader you have been speaking to on the phone goes well.
Hang in there! I know exactly how you feel. My LO went on strike at 2 months of age in a very similar fashion to yours--he would just scream when he even saw the breast but would nurse fairly well when sleepy. I cried and cried and left tearful voice messages with lactation consultants all over town. It was a slow process for us. (For most people, I gather, nursing strikes last a week or so). Every situation is different but for us, wearing him in the sling just hanging out by the breast helped. Eventually he latched on briefly and things started improving from then.
Don't give up hope. Even if it lasts longer than a week, it can improve. I went through an unusually long nursing strike during which I pumped and gave him a bottle most of the time (he would nurse at night and when sleepy). After a couple of months of gently offering but backing off, he just gradually came out of it. Now, at nearly a year old, he nurses just fine as long as he's not too distracted.
Anyway, I know how frustrating it can be to keep trying with no success. Try to be patient if you can and just back off when it's not working.
Best of luck!
since you need to do other task during the day you might invest in a sling if you don't have one. It will keep her nice and close to the milk supply. It's hard to have one so young go on strike. My first thoughts were something new/changed... the foods you eat, soaps, etc like the pp mentioned. Have you had any luck getting ahold of a LC? Do you have a slow or fast let down? When she pulls off does she cry like she wants to suck? Have you checked her mouth to make sure she doesn't have thrush or anything that could cause her discomfort? Sorry so many ?'s just trying to put thoughts in your mind.

When the assembly line was introduced to the automobile industry, everything changed. Cars were produced in less time with fewer errors, and each one was exactly the same as the last. As a result, the industry boomed.
Astraeus Wind LLC hopes to bring this type of success to wind turbine manufacturing by standardizing the blade manufacturing process. The company wants to experiment with new materials to strengthen the blades while creating an automated process to assemble them, creating identical blades in a fast, efficient manner.
CEO Jeff Metts says standardizing this process will help ensure each blade has the same measurements, lower the amount of time needed for production and alleviate the chance of human error. The company also plans to research carbon-fiber blades as an alternative to fiberglass.
Although it's been around for centuries, Astraeus sees wind power in its infancy in terms of manufacturing.
For Jeff, it would be "amazing to do these things with such precision and take this blade technology to the next level. We're just right at the beginning now."
In addition to blade production, Astraeus is using money from the Recovery Act to modify the way that the hubs — the central part of the wind turbine that is responsible for rotating the blades — are manufactured by creating large machinery that would expedite the hub machining process significantly.
Currently, the average hub takes 20 to 25 hours to manufacture, and Astraeus hopes to bring it down to four.
"We're looking to take the bottle necks out of the supply chain," says John Truscott, executive vice president at Astraeus. "Hubs are really important to the turbine building process, and we'll be able to produce them at a very rapid rate with very high quality."
The company, a new venture between Michigan's MAG Industrial Automation Systems and Dowding Machining LLC, will be able to rely on its partners for space and equipment. For now, the company is based in Lansing, Mich., but will relocate to a nearby Dowding Industries plant when the machinery for the hubs is completed.
For Astraeus, a major part of the project is bringing wind technology to Michigan. Jeff hopes Astraeus will help create awareness and a lot of economic activity for the state. "To produce 3,000 blades a year will take a million square feet of manufacturing space," Jeff explains. "There's not many factories that have the space to employ hundreds of people, but this will have that capacity."
In the next few years, John and Jeff estimate that Astraeus could create hundreds of jobs for the mid-Michigan region, and hope to open up to four plants in the future, creating thousands of jobs in the state.
"We're all Michigan guys," John says. "The state's going through some tough times…this is a way to help a home state that's been good to us."
Jeff says manufacturing is helping lead the state out of the economic downturn, adding, "We take nothing and make it something — it's a huge part of the economy."

The May issue of the Joint Venture Silicon Valley Network newsletter put the spotlight on Dr. Chester Haskell. He has been a member of the Joint Venture Board since 2006 and has played an integral role in producing the much anticipated annual report Silicon Valley Index.
The article chronicles his life and achievements and highlights the reasons for his commitment to Cogswell.
As he states in the piece, "We have a specialization here at Cogswell that is hard to do in a big institution. We are providing an education for emerging professions, not for individual artists. The students here recognize that developing video games and digital films are a group task."

I have a 12 day old, who is my 4th successfully breastfed baby. Our bfing relationship has been great so far, until the past two days. I think I am experiencing the frustration of a retracting nipple - every time I try to get her to latch on, she can't and it seems that the nipple doesn't retain its "nipple" shape. It essentially "collapses." The nipple itself does not appear to be inverted like the pics I've seen online, so I'm confused as to how to go about fixing the problem. My pedi (who is extremely pro-bfing) isn't open til Monday and I'm a bit nervous about it, seeing as we've only successfully fed on that side twice today. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking at getting a new breast pump. I've been given an old PIS from a friend but it doesn't seem to be working quite as well as it did initially. At any rate I've been doing research and found the Ameda Purely Yours, it looks good in print, but is it really as good as it seems? I've heard some good things about it, but wanted to see if I could get some more information from anyone who might have used it.
Thanks in advance

Once again we see the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives still has not come up with any legislation that would promote growth in the economy or provide minimal social services for the portion of the population that is unemployed.
The engine of our economy, the job creator, has always been the American middle class. That engine has been systematically neglected and drained by the Republican party.
If we want to promote job creation in this country, we will need to pursue policies that strengthen and grow the middle class and end those that limit middle class opportunities and transfer middle class wealth to the already rich and powerful.

He's clearly hungrier than the average bear.
A bear in Colorado was recently caught on camera stealing restaurant dumpsters full of leftover food.
The owners of Edelweiss Restaurant in Colorado Springs say the dumpsters, when full, weigh about a half-ton each.
But that wasn't a problem for this bear, who's seen in the video dragging one of them about 50 feet from its usual spot behind the German restaurant.
No significant damage was reported.
Edelweiss owners say they hope chaining the dumpsters will put an end to the bear's late-night snacks.

I tuned in partway through a Nova episode on TV the other night, and stayed, on the edge of my chair, to the end. It was about the archeological dig in Zeugma, Turkey. I was stunned by the sheer beauty of the mosaic floors they uncovered. And the detail!! Oh my gosh, they had actual shadings of color: say, light pink along the cheekbones of the faces, and a slightly darker pink making the "hollows" of the cheek. I saw a closeup of a pair of eyes that not only had pupils, but a white piece to indicate light reflection! You can see about the site at this site (ha):
http://www.zeugma2000.com/ Click on your language of choice. I first had put the link to the English page, then realized not everyone here would prefer that.
Something, possibly a bit buried in my subconscious, told me to Search on the word Zeugma here. There are several citations, beginning with Dr. Bill's back in 2001. But for those like myself who forgot the meaning, here:
zoog'-ma Gk. "a yoking"
adnexio, iunctio
single supply
A general term describing when one part of speech (most often the main verb, but sometimes a noun) governs two or more other parts of a sentence (often in a series).
Zeugma is sometimes used simply as a synonym for syllepsis, though that term is better understood as a more specific kind of zeugma: when there is disparity in the way that the parallel members relate to the governing word (as a vice or for comic effect).
I haven't done any research on the ancient site Zeugma at all. Does anyone know if its name has any bearing on the present-day grammatical meaning?

Zeugma is mentioned in Plutarch's Life of Crassus.
Now, as Crassus was taking his army across the Euphrates at Zeugma, many extraordinary peals of thunder crashed about them, and many flashes of lightning also darted in their faces, and a wind, half mist and half hurricane, fell upon their raft, breaking it up and shattering it in many places.

if you had seen the entire episode, you would have had the answer to your question.. Zeugma was the site of one of the earliest bridges across the euphraties.. which is why it was a rich city.. traders and caravans passed throught the city to use the bridge.
(i thought they should have been looking for history/archiology of the bridge.. yes, the mosiacs were beautiful, but they have been found everywhere there were rich romans and greeks.. but ancient bridges.... now that would have been interesing!)
no doubt there were sites where you could ford the river (and thinking about it, ford/fjord seem definately germatic words.. what is the latin term for a ford (a place where one is able to cross a river with oxen, horses, etc?)
and there were ferries, but a bridge is a secure way to cross a river. (NY just had a ferry accident, i suspect in times past, they were more frequent, and costlier)
(we have lots of post on bridges/remember, a title for the pope is pontiff, (bridgebuilder) partly that is symbolic (a connection between christ in heaven and church here on earth) and partly its because bridge builders, were so important and esteemed in ancient times, that it was a title of extreemly high reguard.)

Thanks Jackie, I had recently tried to remember the words syllipsis and ellipsis and was unable to do so. I recall a sentence that emplys both: In preparation for the party, Mary watered the plants and John, the drinks.

Poros is Greek for ford, ferry, or bridge. Basically covers any way of getting from one side to the other. See: http://makeashorterlink.com/?M4E025B46 There are quite a few Greek words for bridge. See: http://makeashorterlink.com/?Z60112B46
The Latin for bridge is pons. Ford is vadum: http://makeashorterlink.com/?W14161B46

Subject: A.Word.A.Day--syzygy
X-Bonus: Life is like a dog-sled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes. -Lewis Grizzard
syzygy (SIZ-uh-jee) noun
1. Astronomy. Either of two points in the orbit of a celestial body where
the body is in opposition to or in conjunction with the sun. Either of
two points in the orbit of the moon when the moon lies in a straight
line with the sun and Earth. The configuration of the sun, the moon,
and Earth lying in a straight line.
2. The combining of two feet into a single metrical unit in classical
[Late Latin syzygia, from Greek suzugia, union, from suzugos, paired : sun-,
syn- + zugon, yoke.]
Zeugma and syzygy surely share an origin: yoke? Or not?

and no double the city was named for the bridge- the yoked the two half of the city together!
cities/town, locations are still named for bridges.. (as a child i lived on kingsbridge road..(but not in the area of the bronx known as kingsbridge!--London has knightsbridge..
which curiously has the most intersting set of letters stuffed in the middle-ghtsbr-- one that is said to 'stump' those new to english!
bridge is a common part of many place names!_________________________

Former President Bill Clinton said his friend, poet, orator and actress Maya Angelou lived enough to experience five lifetimes.
Clinton spoke Saturday at Angelou's memorial service in a chapel at Wake Forest University. He remembered the woman who read a poem at his first inaugural as a firefly.
Clinton said Angelou would light up at the most unpredictable times and show you something in your mind you had been burying or something in your heart you were afraid to face.
Clinton recalled how Angelou was a single mother at 17 and San Francisco's first African-American streetcar conductor before becoming a civil rights leader and an accomplished writer.
First lady Michelle Obama remembered Angelou as the first person who let her know she could be a strong, powerful and smart black woman. She recalled reading Angelou's poem "Phenomenal Woman" and how it changed a woman whose first doll was Malibu Barbie.
Obama remembered meeting Angelou for the first time at a campaign rally in North Carolina in 2008. The first lady said that while she doesn't remember exactly what the poet said to her, she remembered how Angelou made her feel.
Angelou died last week at age 86.

Winter in Michigan is a great time for snow sports such as skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing, but if you're looking for a different type of winter sports action, then you won't want to miss the UP 200 and other sled dog races around the state. Today, featured blogger Jesse Land of Things to Do in the U.P. gives us the inside scoop on sled dog racing in the Upper Peninsula.
The UP 200
The UP 200 sled dog race is one of the premier sled dog races in the country. Mushers from all over travel to the Marquette, Michigan each winter to compete in this race. They love it not only for the beautiful and challenging terrain, but also for the warm welcome they receive from the huge crowd that assembles in Marquette to cheer them on.
The start of the race is truly something to see. The city of Marquette shuts down Washington Street, which runs through the heart of Marquette's downtown district, and covers the street with snow. This is where thousands of people will gather onto the sidewalks on the evening of Friday, February 14th to watch the dog sled teams embark on the 240 mile course.
The mushers travel from Marquette toward Munising, through sections of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and then on to Grand Marais. Grand Marais is the layover point, where the teams will arrive sometime the morning of Saturday, February 15th. After spending a few hours in Grand Marais to rest and refuel, the teams will head back to Marquette sometime late Saturday afternoon and evening.
The Midnight Run
And then there's the Midnight Run, an exciting ninety-mile race that takes place between the start and finish of the U.P. 200. Midnight run mushers leave Marquette from Washington Street shortly after the U.P. 200 mushers. However, their course is different.
In the past Midnight Run teams have finished in Grand Marais. New this year the teams will race to Chatam, then turn around and finish in Marquette's Mattson Lower Harbor Park.
Where is the best place to see the dogs?
One of the most popular questions that gets asked by spectators is "where's the best place to se the dogs?" Luckily, there are many great options.
Washington Street in Marquette is the most popular viewing area by far because the races start right there and it's located in the heart of downtown. However, for those looking to avoid the crowds or take in a different stage of the race there are definitely other options.
Not far from downtown Marquette, the welcome center offers a great spot to view the teams as they head into the woods. Restrooms are available and food and drinks will be provided here at no cost.
The Prince of Peace Church in Harvey also offers a great viewing area. They'll have a bonfire to help spectators stay warm. Restrooms are available inside the church, and food and drinks will be available for purchase.
The Lakenenland Sculpture Park offers another great viewing spot as the mushers race right by there.
The Downtown Showdown
And if you're in Marquette for the UP 200 and Midnight Run, be sure to check out the Downtown Showdown rail jam competition on Saturday night. The snow from Washington Street gets moved to nearby Front Street where an awesome course of rails is set up on which snowboarders and skiers will test their skills. It's a great time for skiers, snowboarders and spectators alike.
So plan a trip to Marquette, Michigan for the weekend of February 14th, 15th and 16th! It'll be an action packed weekend full of great events!
If you can't make it to the race, there are plenty of other ways to experience sled dog racing the Upper Peninsula. Visit michigan.org to see a full list of sled dog tours available near you.
Have you been to a sled dog race in Michigan? Tell us about your experience.

Not-guilty plea in Iowa dog shootings case
A Sioux City man accused of shooting and killing his two dogs has pleaded not guilty to two weapons charges.
Sioux City television KCAU reports that Jon Holloway won't be prosecuted on animal abuse charges. Sioux City Police Lt. Mark Kirkpatrick says it's technically not illegal to shoot your own pets.
Holloway is charged with reckless use of a firearm and discharging a gun within city limits. Authorities say the 51-year-old Holloway shot his two dogs Tuesday with a rifle in his backyard.
Police say Holloway had been arguing with his sister about the dogs being aggressive.
Holloway's trial is scheduled for April 24.

Parents can offer guidelines for how allowances should be managed and spent, but children must learn to make their own choices, Harris said.
Pearl suggested that parents choose a modest expense connected to the child's hobbies, such as guitar strings, and explain that the child will now pay for that item.
The child has to make the money last until the next allowance, and if he or she runs short, the parent should not bail the youngster out, Pearl said.
"They need to make mistakes while the stakes are pretty low so they can learn from them," Pearl said.

Avalanche Tour with Art of Dying and Adelitas Way
The Rave – Milwaukee, WI
All Photos by Paul Weber
Shinedown could very well go down in history as having one of the greatest frontmen in rock and roll. The band also has that special sauce with a bite to make them stand out in a world saturated by musicians. Each one of their four studio albums placed on rock charts and not many rock acts can say that. Collectively their albums have already sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
The group just released their fourth studio album, Amaryllis, and it has already spawned the radio rock anthem "Bully." Alongside Amaryllis' release accompanied an eBook FOR YOUR SAKE: Inside the Making of Shinedown's Amaryllis. It is an interactive book with 75 pages of words, never-before-seen photos, and videos. The eBook was a joint effort with rock journalist Jonah Bayer and Atlantic Records. The eBook is available for purchase here for $5.99.
Last night as Shinedown took the stage the first thing that struck me was Brent's appearance. Last time I saw Shinedown was back in 2010 and Brent looked like he filled out (it happens to the best of us). Yet, when he walked out onstage last night, my mouth dropped. He looked fantastic! His weight loss didn't just affect his physique; his energy level was at an all-time high. Brent was intense and much more dramatic than he was two years ago. Now let's get something straight here–back in 2010 I thought the show was amazing; this time around I was just blown away.
Brent and Zach mix to make up that special sauce I was talking about earlier. Their comradery onstage shows the love between the guys. Zach took to his solos with such ease as not to skip a beat. As many Shinedown fans know, Zach takes to his solo work when Shinedown is in hiatus mode, so he manages to keep his chops up to par.
I do need to mention the spectacular lighting for Shinedown. I really didn't think the stage was going to be so lit up as it was even though this is Shinedown we are talking about. The lighting was so poor for the openers Art of Dying and Adelitas Way that there was some concern of what it was going to look like when the headliners hit the stage. All the light was aimed at the back of the stage by the drummer yet both openers took the very front of the stage with little light.
The set was a great mix of songs from each of their 4 albums and the night ended with some of their biggest hits to date including "Second Chance," "Simple Man," and "Bully."

Hi, guys!
It's Major Declaration Season!!
To recap for those of you who don't know me, I'm Kelsey, a senior, double majoring in English and Linguistics. A couple months ago, I answered a question on the Sophomore Forum about double majoring. You can read that discussion here.
Double majoring really worked for me, and I'm so glad that I'll (hopefully!) graduate this spring, having experienced both disciplines, written both theses, and worked deeply with two different departments in two very different but related academic areas.
Although I had originally planned them to be the same essay when I applied to be a double major, I'm actually working on two theses, both on related topics. I've been studying Quenya, the invented Elvish literary language that J.R.R. Tolkien created for his realm of Middle-earth (NERD ALERT). Because the language was written into the book, I've been able to look at one topic from both a linguistic and a literary perspective, which has been especially important, as Tolkien himself was a linguist and a writer.
That's one of the main reasons I decided to double major: my interests lie at the intersection of English and linguistics, and I found them to be easily combinable. My English knowledge makes me a stronger linguist, and vice versa, and I wanted to write a thesis in both.
But that's not true for everyone – in reality, Continue reading Double Majoring: Think Twice!

The New Romance
On last year's debut, Pretty Girls Make Graves asked, "Do you remember when the music meant something?" Now, with their bigger, brighter followup 'The New Romance', Pretty Girls Make Graves are through with questions – they're here to remind you themselves.
Pretty Girls Make Graves formed in Seattle in 2001, fused together out of the still glowing embers of nearly a dozen important groups. Andrea and Derek had played together in Death Wish Kids and Area 51 along with Dann Gallucci, with whom Derek formed the popular Murder City Devils. Shortly before the Murder City Devils called it quits, he and Andrea started Pretty Girls Make Graves with Jay (who was in Kill Sadie and Sharks Keep Moving) and Nick and Nathan (both in Bee Hive Vaults). The band released an EP on DimMak before releasing their debut album 'Good Health' on Lookout in April 2002. If 'Good Health' was the exhilarating sound of five people mashing their myriad ideas and influences into fresh noise, 'The New Romance' is the sound of one incredibly confident band capable of anything.
Brilliantly produced by Phil Ek (Modest Mouse, Built To Spill, Les Savy Fav), 'The New Romance' magnifies Pretty Girls Make Graves' songcraft and technical prowess while letting some air into their songs and keeping things in crisp focus. Every song on 'The New Romance' is an anthem, yet without traditional verses and choruses. Tension builds and shifts without conventional release, as moments of glassy beauty and rousing aggression trade sides. Dissonant, spiralling guitar parts butt up against handclaps and singalongs. Deep and creepy rhythms undermine pop sensibilities, then give way to swaggering beats moments later. As CMJ wrote, "the notion that hard rock should be not only intellectually stimulating and structurally imaginative, but just plain fucking enjoyable, doubles as their theme and M.O."
Lead singer Andrea Zollo is ferocious, sultry, and whip-smart. She sings about separation, sedation, television, boredom, sadness, and addiction – and does so with enough urgency to snap you out of all six. Basically, she wants you to get off your ass. "We want more than memories," she sings in "The Grandmother Wolf." "All Medicated Geniuses" bemoans a "spent and sick" city where "our ideas die so quickly" – maybe the same city of "A Certain Cemetary," where the feelings are "as dark as this town…let's get out of this mess." (Yo, Seattle!) "I'm fine," Zollo insists on "Blue Lights," and though you know she's anything but, 'The New Romance' is hardly about wallowing; Pretty Girls Make Graves are all about the galvanizing power of their music. The album's high point is the inspirational "This Is Our Emergency," which reminds us not to give up on the few dreams we have left. "It hasn't been in vain," sings Zollo (listen closely, you can almost hear her fist in the air), "unfulfillment is killing you." The song is a masterpiece, a rousing alarm claxon, a middle-finger raised against apathy, and a group hug all rolled up into an utterly essential three minutes and forty-four seconds.
Some people are gonna say that 'The New Romance' is the album of the year, but forget that: It's the album of the moment. So put down your iPod and quit Googling yourself. This is your emergency, too, ya know.
The New Romance? Pucker up, tiger.
News From The Matablog
Ahem. "Brocaine"?
Bid at your own risk, folks. Remember how that rare Velvet Underground acetate was unearthed at the Chelsea flea market by a clueless record digger (I hate that guy). Well people, that was just an hors d'eourve, this is the main course. Here is a chance to own suitable for framing Indie Rock history acetates from hottt Matador band Pretty Girls Make Graves. I happened upon these GRAILS at a rummage sale adjoining a Renaissance Faire in upstate New York. I was dressed as a dark knave. Two Elan Vital acetates (2) in white sleeves [side A and side B separate one-sided reference pressings] fun facts about the PGMGA (Pretty Girls Make Graves Acetates): 1) Cosloy briefly hinted at their existence during the 2007 SXSW blogger brunch 2) Trace amounts of brocaine can be found on the side A runout groove (u party?) 3) THIS IS RED ROCKS, THIS IS THE EDGE Unlike that Velvet Underground acetate playtested hype auction (I hate him), these virginally pure acetates have been untouched by the hand of Man. This is *investment grade* vinyl, and we would not dare sully it. Only the winner of this auction will decide whether to enjoy these recordings on an audiophile quality system or frame them in rarest teakwood.

Pretty Girls Make Graves - It's Been Real
The following message was posted on Pretty Girls Makes Graves' site earlier today.
We are sorry to announce that our upcoming tour in May will be our last. Nick quit the band and the rest of us feel like it wouldn't be right to continue on without him. The 5 of us feel very lucky to have met and worked with some truly amazing people over the years. Thank you all so much….
Needless to say, though all of us at brutally exploitive label central are very disappointed by this news....we've known about it for ages! Who says Matador can't keep a secret?
In all seriousness, while one of our fave bands on Earth pulling the plug is a sad occasion, it is also a reminder there's something to be said for going out at the top of your game. And we're also very confident that our friendship with Andrea, Derek, Jay, Nick and Leona is far from finished, and we eagerly whatever else they've got up their sleeves musically or otherwise. To say we're fortunate to have been associated with such awesome people would be the understatement of this Monday morning.

10/19/06 — Upcoming tour dates
Pretty Girls Make Graves have a whole slew of new dates confirmed starting next week and lasting to the end of the year. Read the full details on the tour page.
08/22/06 — Pretty Girls Make Live iTunes Session, Graves
A brand spankin' new iTunes session from everybody's favorite Jack Kerouac (or is it The Smith's?) quoting Seattle supergroup is now available for your downloading pleasure. This iTunes exclusive features four specially recorded live in the studio tracks:
Pyrite Pedestal
The Number
Pictures Of A Night Scene
Domino Dub Mix
That last one, Domino Dub Mix, is the value shopper's track of choice in this set. Clocking in at a massive 7 minutes and 31 seconds, that breaks down to something like 13.2 cents per minute. Which should make up for all those people who spent 99 cents on Guided By Voices 22 second opus, "Hit." Click the link to go to the iTunes store and see it for yourself.
08/21/06 — Second MP3 posted: Magic Hour
The Roxy Music inspired photo spread in Élan Vital's LP packaging is pretty appropriate when you think about it. Like Bryan Ferry and company in their salad days, PGMG has coped with the loss of an important member (former guitarist Nathan Thelen) with more grace than could have been expected, and returned with enough verve to suggest that their best albums are still ahead of them. Plus, the new sound on Élan Vital, tarted up with Leona Marrs' icy keyboards and wrapped in gauzy, dubbed-out reverb, is as stone cold cool as Roxy Music at their best.
The latest song we're sharing, "Magic Hour," would serve as a great description of Élan Vital itself if the album didn't clock in at a much too short 40-odd minutes. Either way, it's a great example of the Rubix Cube worthy arranging skills Pretty Girls Make Graves brought to the table this time out.The parts lock together tighter than Lego bricks, and add up to a package that's as tasty as a neon ice cream cone. Check it out on the music page.
07/26/06 — Dropping hints for the fall
After some frantic activity in Germany and the UK, Pretty Girls Make Graves returned to the states for big outdoor show at Brooklyn's McCarron Pool last Sunday. With an exclusive session for the iTunes Music Store out this week, further North America live action is planned for the Autumn, most likely with a very, very big name act whom we cannot mention (at least partially because we've not put the gun to their head yet. But we're working on it).
06/01/06 — New website; European tour
As the first leg of U.S. touring on behalf of 'Elan Vital' comes to a close with a set at the Sasquatch Festival, we can finally present the new and improved official Pretty Girls Make Graves website, with the band's tour diary podcast forthcoming. If you can't wait, Derek Fudesco's Cave Singing will have to suffice.

24-Jun - Germany, Neuhausen Ob Eck, Southside Festival
25-Jun Germany, Scheessel, Hurricane Festival
27-Jun Belgium, Brussels, Botanique/Rotonde
28-Jun Holland, Utrecht, Helling

Congratulations to the winners of the 'make a Pretty Girls Make Graves video without being paid by Matador' contest. To quote Don Cornelius in "Tape Heads" ...get out of our office before we call security. (perhaps that was a different movie)

Coming in April '06, The Seattle quintet's follow-up to the universally acclaimed 'The New Romance', and their first album since the addition of keyboardist Leona Marrs --- is by far Pretty Girls Make Graves' most ambitious, multifarious and scorching to date. Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Destroyer), 'Elan Vital' provides the band with a bigger, bolder canvas with which to weave their magic; "Pyrite Pedestal", "The Number" and "Parade" ranking amongst their finest songs. The new material, road tested after gigs around the globe with Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand and Death Cab For Cutie, shows a blindingly original American band who are improving with each successive album.

09/18/03 — Album's out, US tour
Hot on the heels of a ridiculously well received European tour with the Blood Brothers, Pretty Girls Make Graves hit the road last week for a US tour in support of 'The New Romance'. Kicking things off in front of delirious (if not overcrowded) audience at Seattle's Sonic Boom Records, the band are proving to fans old and new why their 2nd album is the pick of so many (including some that don't work here) for record-of-the-year. There's another in-store tonight at LA's Virgin Megastore, but check the tour dates for more gigs running through the end of November, most of 'em with Cobra High in tow. December looks like the month for a headlining European club tour, followed by more US shows until you fall in love or the whole band drops dead. Whichever comes first. We should have a video for "This Is Our Emergency" for you to gaze at, any day now.
08/06/03 — European tour, upcoming instores
Currently embroiled in a European tour with The Blood Brothers, Pretty Girls Make Graves have the following instore gigs scheduled in the U.S. :
Tuesday, September 9th at 7PM
Sonic Boom Ballard
2209 NW Market Street * Seattle
206 297 2666
Thursday, September 11th at 6PM
Amoeba SF
1855 Haight Street * San Francisco
415 831 1200
06/26/03 — Pre-order and prevent pricey disorder
the new and utterly massive album, 'The New Romance', is now available for pre-order from theMatador Store, and the savings are substantial. So much so, that we're tempted to change our minds and just gouge you to death (as a matter of speaking, not literally). So take advantage now, before we regain our senses.
06/11/03 — European pre-album single
There will be a Matador Europe-only pre-album single released on August 11th, entitled "This Is Our Emergency". Unreleased B-sides to be announced. You can preorder it direct from the Matador Store.
05/20/03 — New album
I don't know what's the more stunning development -- Pretty Girls Make Graves' impending album-of-the-year, 'The New Romance', or the fact that we finally scooped Pitchfork on a story about one of our own bands. Following their breakthrough releases for the Lookout and Dim Mak labels, the Seattle quintet have emerged with their hotly anticipated Matador debut. That 'The New Romance' is as anthemic and explosive as 'Good Health' is no surprise; but the band's compositional skills have grown by leaps and bounds, along with their flair for the dramatic.
The record features the single "This Is Our Emergency" (coming out in August via Matador UK along with some non-album tracks from a recent radio session). Pretty Girls Make Graves are currently on tour in the US with the Alkaline Trio; they'll be doing European festivals along with club dates supporting the Blood Brothers in August.
03/05/03 — Pretty Girls Make Graves sign to Matador
As previously tipped by Pitchfork (scooped again, fuck) and the band's own site, the Seattle quintet Pretty Girls Make Graves have signed to Matador in a worldwide deal. Following their brilliant releases for the Lookout and Dim Mak labels, Matador will be releasing the 2nd PGMG full length CD/LP this autumn, produced (once again) by Phil Ek. Currently on tour, Pretty Girls Make Graves will be appearing at South By Southwest as part of the Lookout bill also featuring Ted Leo & The Pharmacists and the Oranges Band at Emo's Jr. on March 13.

Patrick is amazing, he is reassuring and has many years of experience so be assured you're in good hands, had clutch and fly wheel done at a good price. Highly recommend and will use his services again. Free pick up and delivery as well!
Excellent, prompt response from Patrick. The work was carried out within a few days and he was able to pick the car up. I will be going back to him again for other work that needs doing. A very helpful approach that really helped reduce my stress levels, thank you very much.
Fantastic service,best mechanic i have ever used,and i have used a few,highly recommended.
Mike is brilliant, patient, professional and explains everything to those of us who know absolutely nothing about cars. I paid him exactly what he quoted no hidden extras. A Smart car is a tricky one to sort out regardless of the problem and after trying several garages found Sphynx Garage on Whocanfixmycar.com Mike is fantastic. He rang me up and asked what the problem was. Came our at a time convenient to me, diagnosed the problem and had it sorted that night. Explained everything he was doing and why. Booked the car in for an MOT with him too. Excellent service highly recommend this garage.
Mike was very helpful and polite. He had excellent customer service skills. With extensive knowledge of car mechanics and a quick turn around time I would definitely recommend him to others. I will be contacting Mike in the future for all my car repairing needs.
My speed dial was not working on my Vauxhall Corsa and I wanted to find a place to fix this problem. I went on line on to who can fix my car. I did not have to wait long Mike from Sphynx Vehicle repairs responded back within the hour and left me a number that I could call. Mike was polite an explained the process that my car was to have a diagnostic test he got back to me straight away with the results and choices which was on offer and how much each of these was going to cost and how long this would take after making my decision Mike kept me informed and updated me on the progress and when my car was going to be ready. The invoice listed the works carried out the speed dial is now fixed. I will be using this company in future the customer service is very good and Mike is contactable and is always ready to explain the full issues occurring with your car I would recommend him to my friends and family members
Very impressed with the service and speed in which Mike solved the problem with my van. Can highly recommend him.
I finally found a great mechanic next door! He offered me to collect my car at my address, then showed me all the parts which I needed to be replaced, giving me different options of parts about quality and prices. He kept me updated about the work progress and He took only one day to fix it. ( Only because the parts wasn't available straight away). Now my car runs perfectly without any problems. I definitely suggest this garage!
Excellent customer service and a brilliant job done. The quote was the same as promised, i took the car on a saturday at 10:30 & by 5:30 full service & MOT done. I even had a dent repaired just for £30. From right from the start of receiving the quote from whocanfixmycar.com, i was in touch with Jagg the owner of the garage, he was exceptional. I would definetly recommend Jagg Autos Thanks, Harry
Avoid this con man. I would never recommend this man to anyone. Put my car in for new head gasket, he told me my timing belt needed replacing so I ended up paying £640 instead of £375 original quote. Came back with an oil leak which it didn't go in with, another mechanic looked at my car and said Jagg had over filled it causing a seal to blow so I took it back, Jagg denied causing it and charged me £250 to fix it. Now my timing belt, which he said needed doing, is causing major problems with my car where he's done a shoddy job and he doesn't want to put it right so I've got to pay another garage to fix a problem he caused. He is rude and aggressive if you pull him on his behaviour. I would never use this garage again, he doesn't know what he's doing, just takes your money and leaves you with problems you never went in with.
Excellent service and great communication throughout! Air suspension fixed! Previous garage I went to did a poor job. Jagg is a very honest family man! Would definitely go back and would highly recommend!
Good job. Thanks
Excellent. Explained what needed doing - quick, efficient and kept to his price and word. Thoroughly recommended.
Did not use the garage
Nobody contacted me the garage did not even call me and this is two attempts to use a service from this site with no one getting back to arrange an appointment had to use Kwikfit to get my car done
Very good service
its very good i got good service
Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.
not very happy with there service there are a rip off never done what I whited done, there diagnostic was not right. went up the m25 and the turbo was not working and my engine was smoking and empty of oil had to get the aa to recovery me home after waiting 5 hours, I do not no what damage it as done to my engine until Monday the never told me the turbo stop working I will be taking this matter further, Regards Levi.
It's was good was really happy with the finish products and very happy with the service I got
Unsatisfactory outcome, waste of money. Never again. Avoid.
They are very effective and know the job very well.
Very professional Soon as I got there they had already known the problem in my car as I spoke to them over the phone and through Whocanfixmycar. They just took the key and give me an estimate of how long it'll take. Meanwhile the receptionist made us a nice cup of coffee. Within no time the job was done and an invoice of the exact price given through the website was handed to me. Overall one of the best mechanics I've come across. Definitely will come again
Fast and good job, full recommendation, definitly I will call again if I will need. Thanks
Job done in less than 30 Minutes. Excellent price for mobile mechanics.
Very happy with the service would recommend to other
These guys came to me and changed my rear shock absorbers in about 30 mins! And really good price too. No messing about! Excellent service! I'll definitely use them again, highly recommended. Thanks
Great communication and very professional. Overall very satisfied with the job. Amazing.

I would definitely do that.
We lose nothing by giving up Penny. We don't even play him.
The Bulls lose nothing because they are not playing Tim either.
Expiring for Expiring - everybody wins.
We need a SF who can score and Tim can do that. In the last part of last season, when he got over his issues, he actually started to play good ball for the knicks.
