'Trip to Echo Spring' distills alcohol's role in lives of 6 great writers
"The Trip to Echo Spring," Olivia Laing's remarkable book about six alcoholic American writers, reminds me of the overhead projections we watched in classrooms before PowerPoint came along, in which several transparent sheets were artfully lined up atop each other to produce a complex document.
One sheet of "Echo Spring" captures her pilgrimage to the places where the writers lived, from Tennessee Williams' New Orleans to Raymond Carver's Port Angeles, Wash. Another records her meditations on how their writing and drinking intersected, how they handled their characters who drank (generally with scrupulous honesty) and how they assessed their own alcohol problems (generally not with scrupulous honesty). »Read Full Article(1)
Powerful performances by women made 2013 remarkable in Wisconsin
On a Thursday night in January, I saw five women murdered in Bay View, during Alchemist Theatre's staging of Aaron Kopec's "The Canonical Five of Jack the Ripper."
In a Milwaukee Irish Arts production of "Eclipsed" in May, I watched a cast of eight relive the experience of generations of Irish women confined to the infamous Magdalene laundries. »Read Full Article(1)
Listening to Lou Reed: 'Coney Island Baby'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
After the commercial debacle of the aggressive "Metal Machine Music," and embroiled in a struggle with his former manager, Reed somehow delivered the warm, almost shockingly tasteful "Coney Island Baby" (1975), which holds up today as one of his most consistently enjoyable solo recordings. In some moments it harkens back to the gentler sider of the Velvet Underground -- Reed actually cut a version of "She's My Best Friend," a standout "Coney Island Baby" track, with the Velvets (it's on "VU"). »Read Full Blog Post(7)
'30 Americans' among best 2013 art shows in Milwaukee
I have this habit of flipping through my digital photo archive, holding down the "next" button and watching images blur together like scenery outside a car window on a long road trip. As I began to think about the year in art and architecture, I decided to scroll through 2013 this way, letting my visual field notes unfurl in one long thread.
What surfaced amid the images of Project Runway watching parties, the Venice Biennale and surveys of Wisconsin art were a few realizations, that Milwaukee's art community is increasingly addressing critical issues, including race, inequality, feminism and climate change; that some of the state's most accomplished artists have — after years of lucid and long suffering development — achieved career-defining works; and that public art is being redefined and intensely contested here. »Read Full Article(2)
Best new restaurants
Looking over my list of this year's best new restaurants, it's easy to see some common movements in dining.
Sure, there are differences. For one thing, I've included some spots that are unlike restaurants from past lists. For the first time, I've included a counter-service sandwich shop, on the strength of its creativity and compelling flavors. And how many times previously have I included a butcher shop? Exactly ... never. »Read Full Article(16)
On Tap Today: Closing out 2013
Here comes the weekend – the very last one of the year. Other than dreaming up your resolutions for 2014, how are you going to spend it?
So what could be more glorious that taking in "Les Misérables," the Skylight's centerpiece for the season. Now, here's a little tip. If the show get sold out, and that wouldn't surprise us, consider asking about their "obstructed view" seats and thinking about the whole thing as a listening experience. You'll save some bucks and have a great experience, if you can put yourself in the right frame of mind. »Read Full Blog Post

Dodger Stadium Turns 50
Dodger Stadium turns 50 this year! It was April 10, 1962: Opening Day when Dodger Stadium opened its door for the first game. They hosted the Red. Dodgers lost the opener to the Reds 6-3. The first home run in Dodger Stadium was hit on Opening Day by Wally Post of the Cincinnati Reds. Box Score here: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=196204100LAN
Opening Day 2012 will on Tuesday April 10th. April 10, 1962 was also a Tuesday.
Back when Dodger Stadium used to have a gas station inside. Note the gas price is 1.99 cheaper. Now days is approaching $5.

Those are beautiful photos, Emma. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome OBF! I love them especially the ones with Koufax and Drysdale in the bullpen.
Russel,looking forward to seeing your pictures with your nice camera.
Kristen, a walk down memory lane. Wish we still had the has station.
Jeff, 2004 was special with Gagne coming out of the bullpen to Welcome to the Jungle. Lima was special too. He used to perform at a nightclub close to the stadium. Such energy!

This is a great time to pursue a PA career. As more physicians enter specialty areas of medicine, there will be a greater need for physician assistants to provide routine care. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that employment for PAs will increase by 30 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations. The American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) projects that there will be between 137,000 and 173,000 certified PAs by the year 2020.
In addition to good job prospects, there are many other reasons to consider the PA profession:
According to the AAPA, about one-third of PAs work in primary care and two-thirds in specialties. PA students do not specialize during their education, but because the PA curriculum is broad-based, physician assistants can practice in any specialty.
PAs often work in the following specialties:
Most PAs are employed in hospitals or group practices. According to 2010 AAPA Census figures, about 7,500 PAs work for government and the military.
Graduates of an accredited PA program are eligible to take the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE), a computer-based, multiple-choice test comprising questions that assess basic medical and surgical knowledge. Achieving a passing score on the PANCE allows a PA to use the designation Physician Assistant-Certified (PA-C). Monmouth University has been granted Accreditation-Provisional status to begin matriculating students for the Fall 2014 semester.
For more on initial PA certification, visit www.nccpa.net.
Before PAs can practice, they must apply for and obtain authorization from the state in which they plan to practice. This authorization process is called "licensure" in most states, but it can also be referred to as "registration."
To learn more about state authorization, visit aapa.org.

Julius was born in Woodsboro, TX to Julius Charles Ermis, Sr. and Leona Stuchly Ermis.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Robert M. Ermis.
He is survived by his brother Edward J. Ermis of Woodsboro, TX.; his sisters Gloria Martin, Joyce Wolak, and Pam Heine, all of Houston, TX and Anna Wealty of San Antonio, TX. He is also survived by 9 nieces and 7 nephews.
J.C. grew up in Woodsboro, TX having graduated from Woodsboro High School in 1975.
He then attended the University of Texas at Austin where he earned a B.A. in the humanities.
He moved to Washington D.C. in 1979 to further his education and was awarded a M.A. in international affairs at The George Washington University in 1982. His long and successful career in the telecommunications industry spanned 32 years, culminating in his position of Marketing and Proposal Manager at Turner Consulting Group where he was known for his professionalism, pride, dedication and good humor.
J.C. was a kind and generous son, brother, uncle and cousin. He was a man with a love of his Czech heritage, travel, art, cooking and hosting dinners for his friends. Although shy, he was known for his droll sense of humor and quiet charm.
Julius will be sorely missed by all who knew and cared about him.
A Celebration of Life will be held later this summer in Houston. Donations in J.C.'s memory may be made to the American Cancer Society or charity of your choice.

Best Buy today agreed to pick up Napster for $2.65 per share or about $121m. What is interesting here is Best Buy has been using Rhapsody for their own branded music store going as far as requiring manufactures to change their packaging to include the "Best Buy Digital Music Store" branding. (The reason why Creative no longer sells at Best Buy is because they refused to change their packaging and get on board the BB music store.)
This news is a bit disappointing for me since I was never really a fan of Napster and currently subscribe to Rhapsody and Zune Marketplace. It's not that Napster is a bad music service, it's just Rhapsody has a better catalog and has the best recommendation engine in the game. But I guess the good news is you will still be able to use Rhapsody Subscription on most of the players sold at Best Buy, it's just not going to be bundled. Also note that it has not been officially stated as to what will happen with the Rhapsody / Best Buy partnership, but I am assuming the obvious.

Today was a crazy day at the Galería. A group of students are here for a week taking Spanish classes in the back room. While on a normal day, one or two tourists might stop by, today three groups of students came in addition to a steady flow of tourists, all asking Dona Mina to share her experience of the revolution. Because the mothers are going on strike, they spent the afternoon in the Gallery. I showed off some of the videos of mothers that I have already taken, and I got a bunch of other mothers excited to stop by and share their stories as well. By now, I know a lot of the mothers. They stop by to talk about their grandchildren or their latest ailments or wondering when the roofs Daniel has promised will finally come. One of the mothers brought me an article today from when she was in Costa Rica, talking about the pensions that widows of war receive in the neighboring nation. Tomorrow, at 9:00am, the mothers plan to gather again to go to the local municipal building and list their demands again.
My latest technological problem (of which there are about 10 a day): I have used up all of the space on my hard drive taking videos. I have an external hard drive now, but it's difficult to take video onto it. Working with "Movie Maker", the videos are also pretty hard to edit.

Cancer survivor to perform play at The Cooperage
September 11, 2013 —
HONESDALE, PA — The actress, comedian, author and playwright Jenny Allen, a cancer survivor, will bring her acclaimed one-act play "I Got Sick Then I Got Better" to The Cooperage for a single performance on Saturday, September 14 at 7:30 p.m.
As described on Allen's website, "'I Got Sick Then I Got Better' is a comic riff on one woman's adventures after falling down the medical rabbit hole. Diagnosed with and treated for ovarian cancer in 2005, Jenny Allen tells her story of the harrowing tailspin she took following her diagnosis, combining biting humor with searing emotion in a witty, bittersweet monologue that limns the personal and family collateral damage a life-threatening illness brings.
Allen grew up in upstate New York. She was active in theater in high school and at Yale and also was in a comedy troupe, Serious Bizness, in New York. She had a career in the 1970s and '80s as a magazine writer, contributing numerous articles and essays to such publications as The New Yorker, The New York Times, New York, Vogue, Esquire, More, Huffington Post and Good Housekeeping. Several years ago, a group of journalist friends encouraged Allen to pursue stand-up comedy. In 2007, she wrote "I Got Sick Then I Got Better." A reception with Allen will follow the performance.
A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated to the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute located in Scranton. A donation of $30 is suggested. Reservations recommended. Call 570/253-2020 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

A good solution for small spaces.
By Marty Movie Buff
from San Francisco
We had lots of DVDs overflowing our various storage units. This unit stores a lot in a small space. The design would blend well with most decors.The one flaw is that the left-hand sliding door groove stops short of the right side. It does not allow the door to completely clear the shelves on the left side to the middle, so that about two incehes of space on each shelf is useless. With six shelves, that's at least 12 DVDs short of the advertised capacity.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

nice looking, but...

It was kind of difficult to put together (still not finished) mainly because the back panels didn't quite fit, leaving gaps.

Great product for my needs
By Rod Man
from Fort Mill, SC
I bought this item for storage of DVD movies, and it does a great job. It was very well packaged, and the assembly was easy with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. The only drawback is that there are several small plastic stabilizers to be installed behind the backing board, and they were flimsy, didn't install well, and apparently serve some purpose which made no sense to me.
By Ealltrue
from North Augusta SC
Quality manufacturing. Though it is not true solid wood, the composition overall seems strong. The wood veneer is attractive. Went together without the usual problems one may experience assembling pre-fab furniture. Holes lined up, wood did not splinter or break. Looks great assembled. Take care in placement. Stands more firmly on wood/tile floor, though putting a small spacer under front edge on carpet so it tips backwards toward wall would suffice as well. Used it to store canned goods in a small apartment we leased temporarily. Prior to assembling, I covered glass with Gila "Rice" paper so you couldn't see contents. Really elegant look! Would definitely purchase from this company again...and again! :)

Nice DVD Cabinet
By Tuna
from Mustang, OK
The only complaint I have is that the left sliding door does not slide all the way across the cabinet like the right (front) door.This door's grooves are shorter than the other doors grooves, probably to provide access to the handle when the door is slide fully to the right.The problem with that is that the DVDs on the right side of the left shelves cannot be reached or removed if the shelf is full. I leave the left shelf less full than the right so I can reach all the DVDs there.

Need a furniture assembly man along!
By music lover
from Phoenix, AZ
Storage of CD's is adequate and can organize easily. Construction is simple but not made in the US and parts do not fit, the backing was too tall for the sides and so required specialized tools to grind it down, which did not come along with the instructions.Had to repack to return which was awkward and heavy job for single female.Have not constructed the replacement yet because of time constraints, and am praying parts will fit.The photograph in the catalogue looks like the perfect piece for my needs.

From the catalogue it seemed identical to a product I already own. However, assembly hardware was difficult and poorly aligned. I was surprised very common and proven assembly CAM systems were not used. It was guess work to make connections taking several days of patience. My gold standard unit I already own has a metal well for wheels to slide in - far superior to the low quality finish of the dug out wood track in the HS model with all the splinters - makes for a jerky flimsy door - what should have been the highest attention to detail. The unit was splintered on most corners. The design is flawed and the production of poor quality and not due to shipping as packaging was the usual very high standard HS. I would return this item if it wasn't so bulky and so hard to assemble in first place. I also got the unit in 2 shipments weeks apart - something not noted in the catalogue or on-line. I will not buy HS furniture again and will hold on any future purchase.Very disappointed

Sliding Door CD/DVD Library
By Mary
from Barrington, IL
Delivery was efficient and on time.We are now able to sort our DVD's by title and our CD's by subject and can now find what we are seeking. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and fits the space we had reserved for it.
Looks nice, but...
By garryinlb

Using this cabinet to store CDs. In assembling, the center back support did not tighten correctly. I had to reinforce with a bracket screwed on. There is a design flaw where the inside sliding door does not allow access to several inches of the left-hand shelves at the center of the cabinet. Some of the veneer has chipped and peeled away on the edges of the base. It would help the smoothness of sliding the doors if there was a metal groove on the base for the runners to travel on instead of a groove cut into the wood.

Helping students gain understanding and self-confidence in algebra.
stapel_eliz wrote:I've never heard of the "comparison" method. How does that work? Can you give an example from your book, or maybe a link? (All I could find is a PDF worksheet that makes it look like "comparison" is just a form of "substitution", where both equations are already solved for one of the variables.)
Thank you!
stapel_eliz wrote:Okay, so your book is using the same definition as the document at the link. It's substitution, but you solve for "y=" or "x=" in both of the equations, instead of just one. Then you set the other side of the two equations equal to each other.
In other words, instead of getting "y=" for one equation and plugging that in for "y" in the other, you get "y=" in both equations, and then plug the other side of the "y=" from the one equation in for "y" in the other.
It's a form of substitution, and it can generate messy fractions more easily than will "regular" substitution.

By Helena Rodriguez: PNT Columnist
Once in awhile, OK more like often, I get on a soap box and take note of things that really annoy me. Then I see a pattern emerging and presto … I
A) Realize I have better things to do and move on or
B) Ignore my conscience and write a column.
This week's column is brought to you by months of in-depth observations and extensive research that I have conducted on our postmodern human condition and the technological advances that have enriched our quality of life.
Yeah right.
This is a laundry list of complaints from a middle-aged, Disco-deprived woman who longs for the days when heavy traffic only meant two or three cars in front of you at the stoplights and when semitrucks were rare sightings downtown. In journalistic terms, here's an easy-to-read, bulleted list of conveniences, which have become rather inconvenient because of what I call over- or expanded-use, or perhaps due to outdated or misused cultural behaviors.
• Convenience stores. Convenience stores are No. 1 on my list of conveniences-turned-inconvenient. The original idea was to provide 24-hour stores where you could run in and out for last-minute things. Not so anymore. There seem to be fewer clerks and longer lines, which translates into longer waits. Sometimes it's faster to go to the grocery store.
• Inquiring about bills over the telephone. You use to be able to save time and trips by calling about your billing questions. But with so many companies bogged down by extensive phone messages, selections and directions, it can take 10 to 15 minutes or longer to get a real person on the line. The same is true for phone cards, which are bogged with advertisements before you can even make your call.
• Long answering greetings. Have your ever called a place and just wanted to talk to Bill or Chuey, but you're forced to wait until the reception gives his or her name, a long job title and greeting, and then, this one really gets me, they try to sell you something. When you finally do get through they say, "Chuey just left!"
• Writing checks. I really like my new debit card. Checks used to be the preferred form of payment, but nowadays this requires a pictured ID, sometimes fingerprints, telephone numbers, a number of a friend, a number of a stalker, proof of citizenship and proof you're a living and breathing mammal residing in a real home on a real street in a real town. Then you have to sign the back of the check stating there is money in your account, or at least there will be when the check arrives, and if not, you agree to be sentenced to a public hanging or be stoned to death.
• Buying ice cream. Remember the days when you could make it home before the ice cream melted? More traffic in town may be good for the economy, but not good for your car seats.
• The premature door opener. Before you take me wrong, I'm an old-fashioned gal who likes for men to open my doors, but don't you hate it when people open doors too soon? This is good social mannerism and it's a convenience, especially when your arms are full, but when a person opens the door prematurely, like when you're still several feet or yards away, you have two choices: 1) You can keep walking at your regular pace and smile at them as their overstretched arms begin to weaken or 2) You can pick up your pace to a trot or jog so as not to inconvenience the person who is inconveniently making you hurry so they can conveniently hold the door open for you.

I can't find the post that I saw about them. Just curious about the recipe!
Also, this might sound a little odd.. My MIL was trying to give ds2 some rice milk that she made...its delicious but I don't want my son having cows milk yet (he's 5.5 months). I had to tell her that ONCE AGAIN!!! Anyway, the recipe is just boiled milk you add the cooked rice, then sugar to taste, then add cornstarch to thicken. Here's were it gets weird...I was wondering if BM can be boiled and used in this recipe to replace the cow's milk? And, would cornstarch be a problem?
OK...any suggestions or comment, laughing, etc...accepted. TIA!

What is in this article?:
- Cotton market takes it on the chin
- Drought situation not over
• No one saw this magnitude of downturn coming.
• Rain has also returned, and while needed and good for the crop, this combined with continued bearish economic news has really hammered the cotton market.
• At this point, prices have fallen so far so fast that you hate to panic and jump in to add to sales now. It might be risky, but it seems better to wait for a recovery first. That being said, given the stocks situation, a rally back to the 83 to 85-cent level would be quite an achievement.
More About:
Dreadful supply/demand news hammered cotton prices May 10-11.
Dec12 closed at just over 79 cents (down 4 cents) May 10 and as this was being written, was down another 3 cents.
No one saw this magnitude of downturn coming.
Rain has also returned, and while needed and good for the crop, this combined with continued bearish economic news has really hammered the cotton market.
While recent rains have improved planting moisture and aided early development, this does little to yet alleviate the longer-term drought situation.
Rain of mostly one-quarter to 1.5-inches has been widespread over the Cotton Belt during the past 7 days. Some areas have had more, especially in central and south Texas and in smaller areas elsewhere.
Prices had already begun to weaken over the past week or so due to the rain and expected improved crop prospects. But the May 10 USDA numbers added even more supply-side burdens and prices have tumbled as a result.
So, cotton has really taken it on the chin and is now backed up against the ropes. Will prices fight back and recover? The answer is, probably so.
Dropping 6 to 7 cents in 2 days is not that uncommon anymore and this may end up being an over-reaction. But the more pertinent question is how much can prices come back if they do?
Not much good can be done by panicking and selling at this point. Let's get out of panic mode and lay emotions aside and take a closer look at the numbers.....
USDA projects the 2012 U.S. crop at 17 million bales (9 percent above 2011) based on the March planting estimate of 13.16 million acres. Because of weaker prices over the past 2 months, however, actual acres planted may come in at less than this — in the neighborhood of maybe 12.8 to 12.9 million acres. We'll find out in the end of June report.

A 36-year-old man from Viroqua was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for distribution of child pornography.
Jeremy Hogenkamp has been in custody since he pleaded guilty to that crime on September 25, 2012.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice said a search warrant was executed as part of an undercover Internet operation at Hogenkamp's home on February 4, 2010. Agents found computers and electronic storage media containing child pornography.
The Department of Justice said while the federal search warrant was issued, Hogenkamp was facing La Crosse County charges for possession of child pornography. Hogenkamp declined to have the federal case resolved in connection with the state charges. He was sentenced in La Crosse County to four months in jail and 10 years probation for possession of child pornography charges. He has completed serving the jail sentence.

Dordt College News
Dordt College nurses pinning ceremony is May 8
April 28, 2014
The nursing department at Dordt College will hold its spring pinning ceremony on Thursday, May 8, when 17 bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) students will be awarded a unique Dordt nursing pin. The ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. in the B.J. Haan Auditorium. A reception will follow in the Eckardt Lounge in the Campus Center.
The keynote address will be given by Jennifer Weg, chief nursing officer at Sanford Health in Worthington, Minnesota. Weg has an M.S.N. in nursing administration from South Dakota State University. She previously taught the Community and Public Health Nursing course at Dordt College for two years.
This year's graduating class consists of the following students: Stephanie Ahrenholz (Prinsburg, Minnesota), Janie Bonestroo (Boyden, Iowa), Jocelyn Bousema (Sheldon, Iowa), Anita Buiter (Darien, Illinois), Larissa Burgers (Hull, Iowa), Kimberlee Davelaar (Sioux Center, Iowa), Danie Franje (New Sharon, Iowa), Kari Mulder (Sioux Center, Iowa), Kathryn Heynen (Sheldon, Iowa), Torre Kok (Sioux Center, Iowa), Kelsey Tillema (Ripon, California), Alex Van Beek (Rock Valley, Iowa), Sara van der Giessen (Lake Forest Park, Washington), Brianna Vanderveen (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), Stacie Vellema (Sioux Center, Iowa), Kevin Vermeer (Lansing, Illinois), and Kristen Wassenaar (Orange City, Iowa).
All of these students previously earned their associate of science in nursing degrees through a consortium agreement with St Luke's College in Sioux City, Iowa. Dordt's unique nursing program is designed so that students typically become registered nurses in their third year. These graduates completed a fourth year at Dordt to earn their BSN.
Nursing is consistently one of the five largest majors at Dordt College. To learn more, visit www.dordt.edu/academics/programs/nursing.

Game Time or Party Time?
May 20, 2008
Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, Pau Gasol, and Sasha Vujacic appear to be confident about their upcoming series against the Spurs. They were seen yesterday driving around in a jeep. Their music was blasting and they all had cups in their hands. It appears as if they have lost their minds. Maybe they still think they are playing the Denver Nuggets. When the city of Los Angeles reads this, all they can do is hope that the Lakers are spending their time wisely. They should be preparing for their matchup with the Spurs today and tomorrow.
With the game at 9:00 P.M. tomorrow night, time is running out. We were informed that Kobe Bryant, the winner of the MVP award would be taking his team out to dinner and as a team they were going to watch the game. No one is sure of what happened yesterday. There is no answer as to why Bryant, Jackson, Gasol, and Vujacic were partying yesterday. As Lakers fans all we can do is hope that the rest of the team has brought these four back to their senses and that they are watching film preparing for their matchups with the defending champs.

Back-of-box numbers are suddenly getting marquee treatment.
Meet the New Nutrition Labels
There are signs of progress in labeling: Food companies are moving key numbers found on nutrition labels to the front—and enlarging. Many are based on a food-industry version of government's Daily Values, called Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA). The acronyms don't matter as much as the numbers, which can be helpful—no magnifying glass required.

"The challenge is great; success depends only on the strength of our will,"
is how Akio Morita, co-founder of Sony Corporation, concludes his
biographical book, "Made in Japan: Akio Morita and Sony." Sony truly is a
translation of Akio Morita's willpower and vision. Born on Jan 26, 1921 in
Nagoya, Japan, in a family of sake brewers, Morita was more interested in
brewing of technology. In 1946, he co-founded a radio repair business in a
bombed-out department store that was eventually to become Sony, a name
synonymous with innovation and quality. He came up with the name Sony after
consulting several dictionaries and creating a derivative from sonus, Latin
for sound. He first considered the name Sonny but dropped it when he realized
that in Japan, "the word `sonny' would be pronounced as `sohn-nee' which
means to lose money." This week we remember him by picking words from his
aforesaid book.

"Synonymous" Sony: sounds sonorous.

OK. Can someone tell me how the Tagalog 'bundok' fathered today's word? How English got a Filipino loan-word? WWII maybe?

Oh anne--this is almost a YART. Tsuwm had boondocks in his list of favorite new words--i think it was one of the first threads i responded too-- Tsuwm credited the US Marines for introducing it to English-- (and i had heard the same) but the marines got it from Tagalog--
as for how it got into japanese-- (well those marine where in the boondocks fighting with someone....) it works as a japanese word, since the japanese tend to like constantant/ vowel combinations-- they have trouble with words like strawberry-- and the word they use is satarawaberi-- they just shove vowels in to the S T R blend-- but boon dok "works" in japanese. I never knew it was also used in Japan-- the only other word i know in English from Tagalog is Yo-yo._________________________

Thanks, Helen. I'm also getting similar responses via private messages. Pity the folks who want to talk about each day's word don't do it here

Recruits in boot camp for the United States Navy are issued low-cut black leather boots with stiff soles which are called "boondockers." These shoes are made, I believe, by inmates in federal prisons. They are indestructible and one occasionally sees a twenty-year-old pair on some civilian and recognises instantly that, many years before, he was trained at Recruit Training Center San Diego or at Great Lakes.

Hey, BelM and all you other Francophones: I just read that the French langauge police have had some success in getting Walkman kicked out in favour of baladeur. Does this really get used conversationally?

When a child I learned the phrase "just a scoch" meaning "just a little bit" -- as when asked if I wanted milk in my tea.
Later when I first had contact with people fluent in Japanese I learned that "scochi" is a word in Japanese meaning a little bit. We pronounced it with a long "o" and the Japanese pronounced it the same way with the added "i" so it sounded like sko-she.
Perhaps it came to New England in the days of four masted schooners which sailed out of Salem, Massachusetts, went round the Horn and traded in Japan. Before the War of 1812-1814, Salem was the largest East coat port sailing to the Japans.
As a by the way : there is a marvelous museum -- the Peabody Museum of Salem (Mass.) -- which houses a treasure trove of magnificent artifacts from Japan and the Pacific Islands. I have taken Japanese friends to the Peabody-Salem and they are always amazed by the collection. Some things not ever seen in Japan. The museum's netsuke collection was world famed and they were on tour when in a California museum (San Diego I think) a robbery took place and many were stolen never to re-surface.
The Peabody-Salem still has a representative collection of netsuke and I am thankful I had the opportunity to see many of the now "lost" netsuke before they were stolen. Each a masterpiece and an exquisite example of the carver's art.

Tougher US code allowed RBS prosecution
The lower burden of proof required to establish corporate criminal liability in the US means that Royal Bank of Scotland and its subsidiaries have already accepted culpability with the Department of Justice in the US.
In the UK, no such action was possible because of the higher burden of proof required to show the bank was criminally liable.
Under US law, any employee committing a criminal act at work can precipitate corporate prosecution of his employer, while in the UK such a prosecution only follows if it can be established that the "directing mind" of the firm was complicit – typically this means a board member.
The US abandoned the "directing mind" principle on corporate criminal liability a century ago. Sir Edward Garnier, the former UK solicitor general, said the continuing use of the principle in UK law is based on a "Victorian notion" that companies are composed of a handful of employees rather than hundreds of thousands.
RBS Securities Japan has agreed a plea bargain with the DoJ over manipulation of Yen Libor, while the parent company has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement, in which the bank accepts it committed wire fraud and was involved in a price-fixing conspiracy.
DPAs avoid the repercussions of a full criminal trial and save prosecuting authorities from investing the time and resources involved in criminal prosecution.
Miscreants usually have to admit their wrongdoing, pay a fine and cooperate with any further investigation for a defined period – two years in the case of RBS. Should a company or individual commit another similar crime in that period the original charges stand and the deferral is put aside.
David Burns, a partner at law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and former federal prosecutor, described DPAs as "alternative resolution tools [which] prosecutors to avoid the extreme step of an indictment against corporate entities where... there are real collateral consequences for innocent employees, customers and shareholders."
While there is no evidential threshold, DPAs involve the filing of actual criminal charges.
"So in theory prosecutors would have to have the same level of proof as if they were filing an indictment without an agreement, although there would be an expectation they'd never have to prove the case," said Burns. "They would still need a strong belief that a crime has been committed and that they can prove it."
DPAs, which can apply to individuals as well as corporations in the US, are being introduced in the UK for economic crime committed by corporate entities. But their use in cases like this is, however, likely to be limited by the need to establish the involvement of a "directing mind", although as Financial News reported two weeks ago (http://bit.ly/Xjrq0V), Sir Edward Garnier, who put together the legislation on DPAs, hopes that this principle will be abandoned in favour of the US approach.

Hi, my name is Adrianna and I am new to this site. My son is 8 days old today and was born one week early. He was doing ok in the hospital with latching on but his pediatrican wanted me to supplment with formula (not really sure why, didn't think to ask). When we came home he was doing great with latching on and we would only gave him formula until Monday. I have also been pumping and have plenty of milk, I am able to pump about 10 oz in one day with just pumping two or three time a day. Now back to my problems. He seems to prefer my right breast and latches on alot easier with that one than my right. I aslo seem to get more milk out of that one only about an oz more. I have been resorting a bottle of breastmilk a night because he seems to get frustrated to latch on or he is nursing for a good hour if not more and I get so tired so I give in with the bottle. But I think with giving him the bottle he is confused about the nipples. It does about 5 minutes to take the bottle other times its instintance. Now when it comes to my breast it takes about 10-20 minutes to latch on and then he sucks for a few minutes and falls asleep. In the hospital I use to take off the blanket and nurse him in his undershirt, should I be doing that at home all or just have his feet stick out? I also change his diaper before I go to feed him to get him up. He will have spans where he will sleep for 3 hours and I wake him for his feeding and then times durning the day where all he wants to do is eat. I also pump inbetween because I thought my husband could feed him so now I have 10 oz of breastmilk in the fridge that I dont know what to do with and I dont know if I should continiue to pump. So have I ruined breastfeedings days or is their still hope?
Thanks for your help and sorry it is so long.

Danny Brown's Old ended up on so many end-of-year lists in part because the rapper ably straddled conscious rap with club bangers. Throughout his third studio album, the Detroit MC positioned himself as someone conflicted with his admittedly unsettling choices, but yet still drawn — like a fly to a flickering, buzzing bug zapper — to a life of drug addiction and crime.
Critics praised Brown for that mix of self-aware rhymes and gritty street tales, and while it made for compelling listening on a pair of headphones, in a live setting the songs seemed stripped of whatever conscience they were originally imbued with. In other words, it got icky — hearing a roomful of people chant en masse about cunnilingus ("Handstand") will do that, I suppose — but then again, that's the appeal, right?
The crowd at Sunday's sold-out A&R Bar show seemed to agree, and I credit Brown for filling his nearly hour-long set with Old's Side B, the banger-heavy portion of the album, and cuts from his second LP, XXX.
Had Side A won out, the night might have felt like one long hazy comedown. As it was, the song choices made for a more enjoyable rap show — especially if you were as drunk and/or blunted as Danny appeared (and admitted) at times — by stepping on the pedal from the start and never relenting, from early-cut "Smokin' and Drinkin'," 'til the evening crashed head-first into a cement wall with "Dip."
Despite the thick, muggy atmosphere at A&R (I've rarely encountered so much stranger-sweat from passers-by) leading to dozens lingering on the patio and giving the inside a weirdly empty feeling for a sold-out show, the crowd was hyped from the word "go." Literally.
Brown's hype-man repeated the word as "Break It [Go]" played over the speakers and Brown emerged from somewhere with probably just as much weed smoke as the concert floor. The room shook. Arms and bodies bounced. But Brown, as was the case through much of the night, struggled to pierce through his hype-man's rough, loud bark and the crowd's rapping along to every word. Brown's distinctive yelp is piercing on record; live, it often struggled to rise above the noise, often sounding like one long slurred verse, as if his bars were stuck on fast-forward.
That wasn't a problem on XXX cut "I Will"' where Brown rapped parts of the song a capella with the crowd's claps providing the beat. Nor was it for other crowd-favorites like "Blunt After Blunt," "Handstand," or "Bruiser Brigade," where the sheer joy and energy from the floor catapulted the venue into another dimension, as if, as Brown suggested on "Kush Coma," we were stuck in an elevator free-falling at 90 miles an hour.
Toward the end, Brown seemed to feel the effects himself, professing his readiness to enter the aforementioned "Kush Coma." "Roll that shit up, light that shit up, pass that shit to me, and let's smoke," he told the crowd, and eventually a joint made its way to him onstage. He took a few hits, and sometime later event security guards joined Brown onstage, jerking the proceedings to a standstill. They weren't concerned with his activities, though, and after Brown paused, giving the guards a few minutes to sort out whatever it was they were looking for in the crowd, he jumped into another cut and the concert lurked forward again.
But the evening ended with a similar abruptness not much later. Brown started in on single "25 Bucks" to loud applause, and the crowd followed his every word, building toward what felt like was going to be the penultimate song. But then the track ended, and the music kept playing. The crowd lingered, unsure of what to do. Brown, of course, was long gone, like that friend who abruptly and without warning leaves the bar when he suddenly realizes how messed up he is, his head filled with a firework show on the Fourth of July in Las Vegas and needing, right this minute, a moment of peace. In other words, they wanted that old Danny Brown, and, for this night, they got him.

A Fun Finish
Yanks Take Final 2 of Rays Series to Win It
How comforting! After dropping the first game, my Yankees won the final two games and took the series against the Rays. In each of the two games, both the pitching and offense were spectacular. I couldn't be prouder. My boys finished their road trip 4-2, after dropping the first game of both series, they came back to win each one, at the opposing team's home park! I couldn't be more proud. The Yankees won game 2 by the score of 10-0, and game 3 7-3.
Pitching Analysis: CC Sabathia proved he can possibly be C"Cy" this season with his start in game 2, where he flirted with history. He pitched 7 2/3 innings of NO HIT BALL!!! But then Kelly Shoppach had to destroy everything with his single. That must have made Joe Buck and Tim McCarver happy…I hate those guys. They just live to see the Yankees fail. But that little single was the only thing that tainted the Yankee blowout victory. CC was spectacular, no-no or not. I love my hefty-lefty🙂
CC's game face…lol. He looks flustered even when he is pitching well!
Defensive Analysis: The defense behind CC was superb in game 2. Each fielder stepped up his game, knowing that every play meant so much more. Some of the best plays were A-Rod's diving play on Longoria's sharp grounder in the 2nd, Mark Teixeira's great diving play in the 6th, and another A-Rod one, where in the 7th he saved the no-no again with a diving play on an Upton hot-shot, and a bullet throw to Tex to get the out. GO D!!!
Offensive Analysis: I love it when the offense explodes, and boy it did in game 2. Robinson Cano put the Yankees on the board in the 3rd with a 2-run HR. Mark Teixeira got his first hit of the season with an RBI double in the 4th. And my darling baby FRANCISCO CERVELLI had a great day at the plate. He had like a 14 pitch at bat, in which he was behind 0-2 in the count, and worked a walk. Then in the 4th, he placed the most PERFECT sac bunt I have ever seen, which set up Brett Gardner to score on Jeter's RBI single. Finally, in the 8th, my Cervelli crushed the ball into right-centerfield for a 2-run double. Who says Cervelli doesn't have opposite-field power? Pshh…ignorance…
Game 2 was a pleasure for me to watch. And unlike in game 1 where I was completely selfish, I stayed on the couch the entire game and did not move. Well, that's also because I didn't want to jinx CC. But they won, and I had fun, so it was worth it. The heroes for game 2's win are CC "Cy" cutie hefty-lefty, for his flirt with history, and….hm…I need to pick someone else…Francisco Cervelli! Because he was awesome and I love him! Well, that's not really fair. The heroes are CC and the entire Yankee lineup for making me proud🙂
Pitching Analysis: Alan James Burnett was ready to redeem himself after a not-so-flattering outing his first time around. But annoyingly, A.J. got off to an icky start. Not really his fault though – he was bombarded by the Rays and their speed: singles, stolen bases, and bunts. When the first was over, I was actually happy it only resulted in 2 runs. I thought it would've been worse.
Good Lord…that is ONE CRANKY FACE!!! A.J….please don't eat me!!!
During this game, I was at a friend's house doing a project. I remembered my promise to Javier Vazquez, and the rest of the team, when I vowed to never intentionally miss a game again. We were in her living room working on a poster, and she had a TV, so you know…I put it on. I got a little distracted, cheering and rooting for my boys. My friend was a little taken aback – she always knew I was a nut, but never actually saw me in action with the Yankees before. She said "Gin, I don't ever want to be around you when you are watching a Yankee game EVER AGAIN!" She was kidding…..I think…
When the Yanks were down 2-0, my friend said the Yankees would lose. I turned sharply and gave her the most menacing stare. "Don't you ever say that to my face, you hear me girly?" I shot at her.
We stared at each other for awhile, then broke out into laughter. As we were calming down, I said, "But seriously: don't say that. These are the Yankees. They always come back."
Sure enough, my friend witnessed the Drama Club in action.
A.J. Burnett settled down beautifully after the first. He went 7 innings, just allowing those 2 runs. Joba Chamberlain pitched the 8th, gave up a run, but no biggy – Mo closed it out for the victory.
Offensive Analysis: There was a lot of pressure on me and my Yankees, because I made it seem certain to myself and my friend that they would come back. In the 2nd, my newest and truest love, Curty-Curt-Cutie-Curtis Granderson came through with an RBI double, narrowing the defecit to 2-1. I cheered. My friend said they were still losing. I said "Just wait."
It took awhile, but my boys got back on the board. In the 6th, Jorge Posada hit a 2-run homer to give the Yanks a 3-2 LEAD!!!! Later in the inning, my baby Curtis scored on a pass-ball. 4-2 Yanks! I told her so I told her so I TOLD HER SO!!!!!
Jorge and Curtis (♥)
In the 7th, Alex Rodriguez decided to add to the lead. He hit a 2-run double to make it 6-2. The final Yankee run came in the 8th, courtesy of NickySwish. Swisher belted a solo homer; it was a no-doubter.
Game 3 was awesome!!! I love when the Yankees listen to me. I told them to come back and win, and they did! I have the power, lol. The heroes for this delightful rubber-game victory are A.J. Burnett, cranky face and all, for his skillz on the mound, and I guess the Yankee lineup again for their much-needed contributions :)
Isn't winning so much fun? And isn't watching 25 adorable men win for you even more fun? A girl could get used to this….♥
GO YANKEES! Can't wait to see the Home Opener….curse stupid school….

Hey girl heeey. Just wanted to let you know I mentioned and linked you on my new entry :] Congrats on the series win against the Rays! xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
I feel lucky that I got to see the home opener. Since I'm homeschooled, I was able to change my schedule to catch the game and all the ceremonies on TV. Great guess on the cookie contest by the way! I guessed 5-3. Wrong again. I never win anything.😦 It's all good though since the Yankees won!
Congratulations on winning the cookie contest!!!! I just sent you an email confirming your clever prediction of the score and asked for your home address so you can have your prize shipped to you. Really happy you won!
Haha. I can imagine what your friend thought about your love of the Yankees. My family always laughs at me so I usually listen to the game on the radio in another room. The general public cannot comprehend our passion for our beloved teams. By the way, I posted a couple of Andre pictures on my opening day entry. 🙂
Always with the cute stuff…
Man, that weekend blew. Big time. Almost no hit and then taking a beating on Sunday, I'm glad you guys left town adn we could go beat up on those O's. I'm hoping for a good weekend against the BoSox. I have a feeling that the Yanks, Sox, and Rays are going to be beating up one antoher all sesason long.

Carmelo to finally be the player we brought him here to be. He has shown flashes of what he has been capable of but ever since then something weird has been going on
When he first came here our team was gutted and had no one of value but him stat and billups.
The next season we came in completely unprepared, stat didn't show up, Melo had injury issues, we still had D'Antoni as coach.. And a whole bunch of other nonsense.
But next season I think he will be a top tier player. Stat doesn't need to be amazing, just better than last season. Our guard situation still isn't great but it is ALOT better than what it was at the beginning of last season. As much as I don't like felton he is better than Douglas.

Vicente Padilla signs with the Dodgers. R.I.P. Brooklyn Dodger Bobby Bragan.
My brother Vic, my nieces Krystal and Kirsten. Notice Kirsten putting some horns on Vic.
Kirsten now is also wearing glasses. I love you guys!
Vicente Padilla signs with the Dodgers for One Year.
the right-hander will get $4 million plus a $1-million signing bonus and could earn another $1 million in incentives. He was 4-0 for L.A. in the final stretch of the regular season.
And no, my brother Vic does not look like Vicente!
Rest in peace Bobby Bragan.
Robert Randall Bragan was born in Birmingham, Ala., on Oct. 30, 1917. He played parts of seven seasons from 1940-48 for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Brooklyn Dodgers, playing mostly shortstop and catcher and batting .240 for his career. He missed the 1945 and '46 seasons to serve in the U.S. military.
In 1947, he made his only plate appearance in a World Series game, delivering a pinch-hit double for the Dodgers.
I've been working on a post that is not ready yet but it has all the surviving Dodgers that played in Brooklyn. Now I got to update my list to drop Mr. Bragan. Down to 63 now.
13 Comments
No, your brother doesn't look like Padilla! I'm glad you're excited about the signing. He isn't my favorite pitcher but he seems to have worked out well for the Dodgers. Stay dry in all the rain! Ugh.
Some friends like to tease him that he does. I have faith that Padilla will behave and do well. It is only a one year contract so he has to do well this year to get a better contract next year.
He sure was good for us and I think he will continue to be!
He did good in the NL and he seems to most likely keep that up.
PS: Haven't posted the best uniform number article part 2 yet! Trying to get it up tomorow
I take off my Brooklyn Dodger cap in tribute to Robert bobby Bragan. Brooklyn is with you CRZ. I am looking foward to that list. (psst..I have a B'kln Dodger post in the works too. It's a Doozy! I'm not ready yet though LOL) Can't wait BlueBuddy.
Just like you I am working on a post that I have not finished. Looking forward to that part 2 from you!
Ooooh Mike! Can't wait to see that Brooklyn Dodger post! Maybe, maybe I can finish mine this weekend. I get sidetrack reading about each player though. thanks Mike!
Hey Emma! Hope your earache feels better! Ya know, I'm in a quandary right now. I still love ITD, but for some reason I am finding myself posting on there less and less. I don't know if it's the "tone" as I mentioned it in my LONG POST, or what, but well, I just don't know. Or perhaps it's just the fact that I'm busy and just don't have the time to post. What I love about ITD are the different personalities; I'm all for different points of view on the same subject. Who knows. Only time will tell.
Oh, and btw, your nieces are cute! 🙂
Hi Carol!
Hey! Caravan has been announced!! Yippee! Chicken and Wafles! Loney and Kemp! Hope you can go!!
Earache feels better thanks! I still go to ITD too but I am glad that Josh said something. I go there more often when Josh posts as he keeps us uptodate on what is happening, but you know he posts on facebook before he updates ITD. I love your long posts! you worded it well. I don't have time to post 'cause I post on other blogs and make my rounds to the big blue wrecking crew forum that I have a link. I need to update my link and put the other two I frequent. You might like http://www.ourdodgers.com It was created from some Dodger fans that left the Dodger forum.
Hope your business is going well Carol! Hope to see you soon! maybe at the Caravan! If you go to Spring Training, let me know. I might be there during the same time.
Okay Emma, perhaps as a season-ticket holder, you may have heard about the Caravan and such, but I just looked on dodgers.com and didn't see anything. Can you give me the dates? And chickens and waffles? Loney and Kemp? Just leave me a note here!

Metal Energy (Neo Genesis 19)
Metal Energy is a Special Energy card. It was first printed in the Neo Genesis expansion.
Card text (Neo Genesis print)
Card text (EX Ruby & Sapphire print)
e-Reader data
The Aquapolis print includes a Dot Code strip for use with the e-Reader, and has the card ID C-59-#. The short strip contains a brief card summary. There is no long strip for this card.
Release information
Metal Energy has been reprinted more often than any other Special Energy card, an honor it shares with Darkness Energy.
Neo Genesis - EX Power Keepers print, illus. Milky Isobe
Mysterious Treasures - Rising Rivals print, illus. Takumi Akabane
Undaunted print, illus. Kent Kanetsuna
Though both it and Darkness Energy represented a type that was eventually as prevalent as the other seven TCG types, only four of this Energy could be included in a deck. This was a major hindrance to the inclusion of Pokémon of these two types in decks until Diamond & Pearl introduced a basic form of this card.
The Neo Genesis print incorrectly has the set symbol colored gray rather than white. This error is not present on the original Japanese print.
Metal Energy was introduced to provide Energy for Pokémon of the newly-introduced Metal-type, which consisted of all Steel-type Pokémon from the games.

Passing the Obamacare IQ exam
It has become clear within the past couple of weeks that universities such as Harvard and Yale ought to be sending legions of recruiters to West Virginia. They are after the brightest of Americans, aren't they?
It's true that in terms of "book learnin,'" young West Virginians lag behind their peers in many other states. Standardized tests and other measures of education achievement tell us that.
But where it counts – life skills – Mountain State residents of all ages are at the top of the heap. Obamacare has made that apparent.
The Department of Health and Human Services recently released updated enrollment figures for Obamacare health insurance. Now, if you've been following the news, you know Obamacare's architects are counting on lots of young people to enroll, paying higher premiums than are really necessary, to subsidize insurance for older people.
The bottom line is that Obamacare is a really bad deal for most young people, but a better idea for older Americans.
According to the DHHS report, West Virginia has the lowest percentage in the country of young people (17 in the 18-34 age group) signed up for Obamacare. The national average is 25 percent.
We also have the highest percentage (44 in the 55-64 age group) of older people enrolled. The national average is 31 percent.
So, at higher rates than in any other state, both our younger people and our older residents have Obamacare figured out.
It gets better: Part of Obamacare is a requirement that states expand their Medicaid programs, which provide health insurance for low-income people. Some states have not done that, yet (for good reasons).
But West Virginia has complied with the Medicaid mandate. In February, it was revealed about 87,000 of the 130,000 West Virginians eligible have been enrolled. That's a 70 percent rate – better than most other states. It shows Mountain State residents are sharper than people elsewhere in, well, taking something for nothing.
So, to sum up:
Young West Virginians are smarter than their peers elsewhere.
Older West Virginians are smarter than their peers elsewhere.
So are poor Mountain State residents.
Next time you hear one of those dumb hillbilly jokes, just smile.
